I don't think I can imagine my life without coffee. A hot, strong cup of freshly ground coffee is exactly what I need to get started in the morning – and it's my constant companion throughout the day. I'm a firm believer in those magic beans, and what's great about filtered coffee is that it not only tastes so much better than instant brands, but you can also recycle the grounds in a variety of ways to help the environment.
Coffee houses have also cottoned on to the power of their coffee grounds. Back in 1995, Starbucks introduced 'Grounds for Your Garden', offering customers complimentary five-pound bags of used coffee grounds to enrich their garden soil. The scheme is still going strong, with many coffee houses now also diverting their coffee grounds for commercial composting, thus reducing the volume of coffee grounds and other food waste ending up in local landfill.
Mix your old coffee grounds with water to feed your plants. Rich in potassium and nitrogen, this 'energy drink' will help your plants flourish.
Gentry dry your grounds in a warm oven. Place them in an old sock or stocking and place them in your fridge and food cupboards to minimize or eliminate strong odors.
If you have a wormery, add your coffee grounds. The caffeine will wake up your worms and have them chomping through your waste more efficiently than before! It's probably a good idea to mix the grounds with other food waste, so the worms don't have a caffeine overdose!
If your garden is plagued with ants and other pests, put a ring of coffee grounds around the plants you wish to protect. The grounds should discourage unwanted visitors.
Coffee grounds will enrich your compost pile, adding vital nutrients. Many shops and suppliers also sell biodegradable filter papers, making it really easy to dispose of used grounds straight into your compost bin.
Dispose of some of your coffee grounds down your drains to help gently clear out any debris and keep them functioning properly.
If you own dark wood furniture, your coffee grounds can help to disguise scratches and other wear and tear. Simply soak the grounds in a small amount of hot water, drain off and then apply the liquid solution to damaged areas. Your furniture should look good as new!
Coffee grounds are a great way to thaw slippery sidewalks, driveways and garden paths. Simply sprinkle a handful of grounds in the icy areas, and watch snow and ice melt away!
Wet or dry grounds are great in tackling greasy pots, pans and grills. Use a handful alongside your regular detergent to help remove stubborn grease and food.
Coffee grounds are great exfoliants – use a tablespoon-full of grounds with your regular soap to buff your face and body.
As you can see, there are plenty of positive ways to re-use your coffee grounds. I hope these top tips will inspire you to put those magic beans to good use!
In America today, more than 50 percent of families no longer share mealtimes together. Many of us are now eating 'on the move' – and with microwave dinners, fast-food, drive-thrus and take-aways at our fingertips, it's no surprise that the act of preparing and sharing a meal at home is falling out of fashion.
The damaging impact of fast food on our health is now well documented. However, the cost of fast food on our environment and our food chain is also devastating. Many of us are unaware of the massive carbon footprint associated with the food we're eating, not to mention the lack of sustainably sourced produce. All of this is wrapped up in excessive plastic and paper packaging – much of which ends up in methane-generating landfill, continuing its dirty work long after we've finished eating.
Cathy Erway, an amateur cook from New York, believes there is another way to enjoy food. In fact, she's decided to stage something of a cultural revolution, publishing a book called 'The Art of Eating In: How I Learned to Stop Spending and Love the Stove,' (Gotham, 2010) which aims to encourage people to start cooking in their own homes.
It started with a blog entitled 'Not eating out in New York,' where Erway charted her efforts to avoid dining out in any of the city's over-priced and unethical eateries. If it's money-saving tips you're after, then Erway claims that she spent just $25 per week when dining in, compared to over $200 per week when dining out – an incredible saving of $700 per month!
Erway contends that as a nation, we've begun to normalize the idea of eating out – it's no longer considered to be a luxury or a treat; it's an every day affair. In contrast, cooking at home is now seen as major surgery, with many people afraid or unsure about how to prepare and cook simple, healthy meals. Erway's book is generous and shares many of her own culinary adventures, including a range of easy to follow recipes for cheap and hearty meals.
Erway also goes in search of an alternative food scene at the heart of New York City. Her book uncovers a sub-culture of people cooking and eating in their own homes, hosting dinner parties, foraging for edible ingredients in local parks, running secret supper clubs and dumpster diving (or 'freeganing') at local supermarkets for edible food that's past its use-by date. It's an inspiring account of a whole network of people who are returning to their own kitchens, and their own dinner tables to celebrate the joys of a home-cooked meal.
Erway's book is an inspiring story – and demonstrates that it's possible for all of us to think about dining in a little more often. Following the publication of her book, Erway championed the 'Eat in for a Week' challenge, encouraging ordinary people to make a concerted effort to eat in for just one week – with some fantastic results.
So, if dining out is your norm, and eating in is the exception, it might be time to take the challenge. Good luck!
While a lot people (mainly meat-eaters) find it odd, I'm a big fan of meat substitute food. Veggie sausages and veggie bacon are great when everyone else has a plate full of meat. And since you get stores dedicated to meat – a butchers – why not one dedicated to fake meat?
Well now one has opened in The Hague in Holland. De Vegetarische Slager concentrates on selling meat substitutes and also has its own line in products made from lupin seeds.
Time will tell to see if it takes off and is the first in a range of similar shops. I, for one, hope so.
Fairtrade certified products are becoming more widely available, and coffee is no exception. The Fairtrade certification (Fair Trade Certified in the US) is a system designed to allow us to identify products that meet agreed environmental, labor and developmental standards. The system is monitored by a standard-setting body, FLO International, and a certification body, FLO-CERT. It works by auditing producers to ensure the agreed standards are met. Companies that sell products under Fairtrade standards apply for licenses to use the Certification Mark (or, in North America, the applicable Fair Trade Certified Mark) for those products. Buying Fairtrade is a simple way of making sure that your coffee is produced and sold ethically.
Using an eco-kettle to heat you water cuts down on the energy used to power the device. Nowadays, you can even invest in a cool Electricity-Free Espresso machine to brew the perfect drink. The stylish machine produces the pressure needed to make café-style coffee in your own home, without the associated energy costs.
To use it, all you need to do is put your favorite coffee in the steel filter, pour boiling water in to the heat proof cylinder at the top. By lifting the lever arms, putting your cup in to position and then lowering the arms, you trap the air and force water through the coffee at high pressure into your cup. 'Press' is made from solid, polished aluminum, and is available for around $140 at eco retail stores online.
Coffee grounds are famous for their great properties on your garden. Composting your grounds or sprinkling them on the garden nourishes your plants and assists in completing the perfect cycle for a great environmentally-friendly brew. The grounds also have the advantage of deterring slugs and snails from your vegetable patch and smell fantastic if they get warmed by the sun.

Q: how context menu opens in listbox wp7 I have a list box in which when i long-press the particular item of the listbox, a context menu opens. But in the listbox i have not used tap or hold event of listbox so how my context menu is visible.
Please tell which event is firing which opens my context menu; the xaml code is:
<Grid x:Name="ContentPanel" Grid.Row="1" Margin="12,0,12,0">
    <ListBox x:Name="scheduleListbox" ItemsSource="{Binding scheduleList}" Tap="scheduleListbox_Tap">
        <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
               <StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" Height="150" Width="460">
                    <toolkit:ContextMenuService.ContextMenu>
                        <toolkit:ContextMenu >
                            <toolkit:MenuItem Header="Add To Calendar" Click="AddToCalendar_Click" />
                            <toolkit:MenuItem Header="View Description" Click="ViewDescription_Click" />
                        </toolkit:ContextMenu>
                    </toolkit:ContextMenuService.ContextMenu>

                    <TextBlock x:Name="textBlock2" Text="{Binding ScheduleDate}" Foreground="Red" Margin="0,10,0,0"/>
                    <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Height="70" Width="460">
                        <TextBlock x:Name="textBlock3" Text="{Binding StartTime}" Margin="0,5,0,0"/>
                        <TextBlock x:Name="textBlock4" Text="{Binding EndTime}" Margin="50,5,0,0"/>
                    </StackPanel>
                </StackPanel>

            </DataTemplate>
        </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
    </ListBox>
</Grid>

Please tell how my context menu is open as i haven't used tap or hold event of listbox but when I long-press  the listbox item, the context menu opens?

A: By default, the context menu opens on long hold, it is by design. If you wish to open it any other way, you must write your own logic. For examples on how to do that, see these threads:

*

*Setting a ContextMenu to open on "Tap" causes ContextMenu to open up at the top of the screen

*ContextMenu on tap instead of tap and hold
But be aware that some users might be confused by this since most users will expect that the context menu will be shown when you tap and hold the list box item.

RAS Council (2012-2015), RAS 200 steering committee (2012-), RAS International Committee (2014-) Chair of RAS Education and Outreach Committee (2009-2016) Academic visitor in Oxford Astrophysics sub-department (2005-). Associate Fellow Green Templeton College, Oxford (2012-), Chair of Examiners GCSE Astronomy (2009-), Principal Moderator Extended Project Qualification (2007-). IAU Commission C1 (Education and Development). British Astronomy and Astrophysics Olympiad Committee and UK Team leader and International Board Member for International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics (2015-).
Special interests: Education and Outreach for all ages and backgrounds. Promotion of public access to observatories and use of astronomical data sets for secondary-level research. Observational astronomy by eye. Archaeoastronomy and the communication of astronomical ideas and information pre-writing.
I have worked as a full-time teacher for 26 years following 3 years in London banking. Since renovating the ex-Radcliffe 10" Cooke telescope at Marlborough, I have been determined to maximize outreach there and lecture to diverse groups from cubs and explorer scouts to home educated, U3A, WI and to visiting students from Europe and Asia. I also reach a significant audience whilst lecturing annually for Cunard on Trans-Atlantic crossings. I helped design Kielder Observatory in Northumberland, the winning entry in the 2005 RIBA Open competition. Most recently I co-led the UK Astronomy Olympiad team to 6th place out of 42 countries competing. As Chair of the RAS Education and Outreach committee, I helped to initiate and launch 3 new annual awards; The Patrick Moore Medal for teachers, the Annie Maunder Medal for outreach and annual Presidential certificates for the top 12 GCSE Astronomers and persuaded Council to earmark a fund specifically so the Committee can award grants within the Education and Outreach field. I regularly contribute to local BBC radio on upcoming astronomical events. I believe the Society has a pivotal role to play in harnessing the current level of interest among the public and that publicity and the media are key to further engagement. Politicians need to be under pressure from their constituents, especially in the area of light pollution, the effects of which I see as the scourge of our age, preventing as it does generations in urban areas from experiencing our connection to space. I have an equal interest across the whole spectrum of the Society's research areas and, if elected, I will champion an inclusive Society that represents and supports the interests of all its membership, both in UK and overseas and especially those of junior researchers. I also see the need to consistently monitor and update our methods of communication, especially to reach potential young members, for example through social media.


Following news that Destiny 2: Forsaken is not performing as well as Activision Blizzard had hoped, game director Luke Smith has come out in defense of the expansion. The game director has taken to Twitter to explain that the team behind Destiny 2: Forsaken is not disappointed, even though recent news suggests that the expansion's publisher may be a little more concerned.
Off the back of this, Smith has jumped in to defend Destiny 2: Forsaken. Over on Twitter, the game director has pointed out that the development team behind the expansion "love" the game, and that building "Destiny for players who love it is and will remain our focus going forward." The tweet in question from Smith can be seen below.
In terms of Forsaken's content, at the very least there are some that agree with Smith and his team. The expansion did a lot to tempt players back to the grind, providing something more than the end game of the core Destiny 2 experience. That said, many were still critical of the final product, suggesting that it was overpriced for the amount of content that Destiny 2: Forsaken came with, and that there quite simply was not enough there to justify buying in to the expansion - something which is now clear from the financial figures Activision Blizzard has provided.
Exactly how this downturn is combated remains to be seen, although it seems as though Activision Blizzard is attempting to entice PC gamers into the title. After all, to celebrate the game's anniversary, Destiny 2 is currently available for free, and will be until November 18, which could potentially get further users in to then be tempted by some of the DLC available.
Aside from that, some may be concerned about exactly how Bungie will be asked to turn fortunes. The expansion's twist ending and aspects like Gambit mode will potentially remain a pull, but some may wonder whether there'll be a greater emphasis on pushing microtransactions in Destiny 2 to try and generate more revenue. With the publisher talking about "stronger engagement and in-game revenue generation," it certainly seems as though that may be an option.

Danetta Pitta was a Near-Human who served in the Imperial Navy. A rabid xenophobe, Pitta was one of the fiercest champions of Human High Culture in the Galactic Empire, and he would cite his zeal for the cause to hide the fact that he was not quite Human. Pitta's bigotry was such that even the strongest advocates of humanocentrism kept their distance from him. During the New Year's Fete of 2 BBY, Pitta was promoted to the newly formed rank of Grand Admiral, along with eleven other officers. He then set out on a campaign along the Outer Rim Territories, depopulating non-Human worlds along the way.
In the wake of Emperor Palpatine's death at the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY, Pitta took command of a Torpedo Sphere and became the unofficial protector of the Corellian sector after bribing the local diktat. Pitta's position, however, was challenged by one of his fellow Grand Admirals—Josef Grunger, who was hoping to move against Imperial Center itself. Grunger moved his armada into the sector, prompting Pitta to meet him in the Battle of Tralus. Although Pitta gained the upper hand during the battle, Grunger decided to end the conflict by ramming his Super Star Destroyer, the Aggressor, into Pitta's Torpedo Sphere, killing both Grand Admirals as a result.
Biography Edit
Promotion Edit
Danetta Pitta, a Near-Human male, was a renowned bigot and xenophobe who served in the Imperial Navy. Pitta kept his mixed ancestry, which included both a Borneck and an Etti, a secret by becoming one of the most zealous defenders of Human High Culture in the Galactic Empire. He emphasized this by constantly scrutinizing the pedigree of others—even officials from the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order balked at his fanaticism.[3]
Two years before the Battle of Yavin,[3] Pitta, a New Order zealot known only for the ferocity of his politics,[1] was selected—along with eleven others, among them Demetrius Zaarin, Ishin-Il-Raz, and Martio Batch—to be promoted to the newly created rank of Grand Admiral. The promotion was an elaborate ceremony that took place during a New Year's Fete, and was presided over by Emperor Palpatine himself. Pitta's prejudices made him ideal for the task of the Empire's Outer Rim Territories expansion. As a result, he was given command of three dungeon ships: the Apocahk, the Angrix, and the Azgoghk. With them, Pitta tore through the Outer Rim, depopulating non-Human worlds, and either sterilizing or enslaving their respective populaces.[3]
Protector of Corellia Edit
In the wake of the Emperor's death at the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY, Pitta used the considerable wealth at his disposal to bribe the Corellian diktat, and install himself as the unofficial protector of the Corellian sector. In his new role of authority, Pitta was able to commandeer a Torpedo Sphere for himself. However, his holdings and position were contested by fellow Grand Admiral Josef Grunger. Grunger was planning to move against Imperial Center,[3] which was under the authority of Director Ysanne Isard,[2] and in preparation, he had his armada move into the Corellian sector[3] in 5 ABY.[1] At Tralus,[3] Pitta's forces battled Grunger's for control of the Corellian sector.[2] Through ingenious use of his Torpedo Sphere, Pitta was able to decimate Grunger's armada. Grunger, however, chose not to accept defeat, and rammed his Super Star Destroyer, the Aggressor, into Pitta's Torpedo Sphere, destroying both ships and resulting in the deaths of both Grand Admirals.[3]
Personality and traits Edit
Defined by his xenophobia and bigotry, Danetta Pitta immersed himself in Human High Culture to compensate and mask his own lack of racial purity. He took his beliefs to such extremes that he was disliked amongst organizations that were dedicated to Human supremacy, such as COMPNOR. He did not, however, appreciate the irony of being such a rabid humanocentric, despite being only Near-Human himself. His convictions dovetailed with his work, and he was very thorough when going about the depopulation of Outer Rim worlds, even going so far as to have vivisection performed on his captives. Pitta was also a skilled tactician, as he demonstrated when battling fellow Grand Admiral Grunger. As personal armament, Pitta carried a FWG-5 flechette pistol.[3]
Behind the scenes Edit
Pitta was first mentioned in The Essential Chronology, which was published in 2000 and written by Kevin J. Anderson and Daniel Wallace. Three years later, he was profiled in the article Who's Who: Imperial Grand Admirals, which was published in Star Wars Insider 66 and written by Wallace and Abel G. Peña. The article provided most of the character's biographical history, including his first name and the only artistic depiction of him to date. Pitta was later mentioned in the successor to The Essential Chronology, 2005's The New Essential Chronology, as well as 2008's The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia.
The Who's Who article, originally entitled Dirty Dozen: The Imperial Grand Admirals, was meant to be published in Star Wars Gamer magazine before that publication ended.[4] The original manuscript contained a greater deal of information about Pitta and included roleplaying game statistics. Amongst the deleted information was the name of Pitta's flagship, the Impenetrable, as well as greater elaboration on Pitta's bigotry, his inspiration for moving to Corellia after the Battle of Endor, and even the source of his considerable wealth.[5]
Cut content Edit
Among those who had their pedigree scrutinized by Pitta was fellow Grand Admiral Miltin Takel. Although Pitta was originally sent to the Outer Rim by Palpatine to pacify the outlying alien worlds, he was convinced he could do much more than that, and he requisitioned three outdated dungeon ships with which to carry out his work. Under Pitta's command, the ships were able to depopulate entire cities within a day. Any non-Humans not executed for lack of performance were vivisected in a series of experiments. As he blazed a trail through the Outer Rim Territories, Pitta accumulated considerable wealth in plunder. Following Palpatine's death, Pitta established his own warlord kingdom out beyond Hutt Space. When it became evident that Ysanne Isard's hold on Imperial Center was tenuous, he moved his forces to the Corellian sector, where a massive Torpedo Sphere was reportedly undergoing construction at the local shipyards. While stationed in the Corellian sector, he constantly dreamed of bringing his prison ships in to rid the sector of its native non-Humans, such as the Drall, the Selonians, and the Nosaurians.[5]

Along that same vein, in August 2013, reports about a new health scare involving Van Dyke were circulating worldwide. According to reports, a sports car that Van Dyke was operating on L.A.'s 101 Freeway suddenly burst into flames on August 19, leaving the actor trapped inside the burning vehicle until a passing motorist who had witnessed the accident could come to his aid. Thanks to the passerby, Jason Pennington, Van Dyke left the scene of the accident unscathed—not only did the actor walk away uninjured and needing no medical treatment, he did not receive a citation for the incident, according to The Associated Press. According to some reports, Van Dyke had reported engine trouble with the vehicle the previous day, on August 18.
It took Walt twenty years to talk Travers [P.L. Travers, author of the Mary Poppins novels] into giving him the rights for the picture and then she fought him tooth and nail all the way through it. She hated me, she hated Julie Andrews, she didn't think either one of us were right. After the premiere she met Walt in the lobby and said, 'All the animation has to go.' Walt said, 'Pamela, the boat has sailed.'
The piece comes back and looks horrible. The fabric was torn and stapled back together unevenly. We called Art Van to complain and were promised to be contacted by the manager. In the meantime we moved and didn't get a chance to call manager back. We called back and were told manager would contact us. Nothing. I finally called the manager, Kathy Smith, today and received the worst treatment I've ever experienced from a store. Right away she had a chip on her should and said because it's been 8 months since original purchase, we couldn't get a replacement and basically it wasn't her problem. I wasn't rude and didn't say anything to anger her but she acted like I was trying to steal from her. I explained that if we could not get the piece replaced (which is ridiculous by itself), could we get a decent discount on the purchase of two new pieces? We need to get the reverse pieces for the new house and were hoping after all the inconvenience, that they could work with us since the original piece looks terrible from being serviced.
Penniless and feeling that his faith was destroyed, he sank into despair and withdrew from everyone. "They think I'm a madman," he told an acquaintance, "because I wanted to be a true Christian. They turned me out like a dog, saying that I was causing a scandal." It was then that van Gogh began to draw seriously, thereby discovering in 1880 his true vocation as an artist. Van Gogh decided that his mission from then on would be to bring consolation to humanity through art. "I want to give the wretched a brotherly message," he explained to his brother Theo. "When I sign [my paintings] 'Vincent,' it is as one of them." This realization of his creative powers restored his self-confidence.
Ill from drink and suffering from smoker's cough, in February 1888 Van Gogh sought refuge in Arles.[14] He seems to have moved with thoughts of founding an art colony. The Danish artist Christian Mourier-Petersen became his companion for two months, and at first Arles appeared exotic. In a letter, he described it as a foreign country: "The Zouaves, the brothels, the adorable little Arlésienne going to her First Communion, the priest in his surplice, who looks like a dangerous rhinoceros, the people drinking absinthe, all seem to me creatures from another world."[114]
During the last six or seven months of the year 1889, he has also created at least fifteen paintings of olive trees, a subject which he considered as demanding and compelling.[251] Among these works are Olive Trees with the Alpilles in the Background (1889), about which in a letter to his brother Van Gogh wrote, "At last I have a landscape with olives".[250]While in Saint-Rémy, Van Gogh spent time outside the asylum, where he painted trees in the olive groves. In these works natural life is rendered as gnarled and arthritic as if a personification of the natural world, which are, according to Hughes, filled with "a continuous field of energy of which nature is a manifestation".[214]
Alongside Angela Lansbury, Norman Lloyd, William Daniels, Christopher Lee, Mickey Rooney, Ernest Borgnine, Betty White, Edward Asner, Adam West, Marla Gibbs, William Shatner, Larry Hagman, Florence Henderson, Shirley Jones, Hal Linden and Alan Alda, Van Dyke is one of the few actors in Hollywood who lives into their 80s and/or 90s without ever either retiring from acting or having stopped getting work.
In April 1876 he returned to England to take unpaid work as a supply teacher in a small boarding school in Ramsgate. When the proprietor moved to Isleworth in Middlesex, Van Gogh went with him.[35][36] The arrangement did not work out and he left to become a Methodist minister's assistant.[37] His parents had meanwhile moved to Etten;[38] in 1876 he returned home at Christmas for six months and took work at a bookshop in Dordrecht. He was unhappy in the position and spent his time doodling or translating passages from the Bible into English, French and German.[39] He immersed himself in religion, and became increasingly pious and monastic.[40] According to his flatmate of the time, Paulus van Görlitz, Van Gogh ate frugally, avoiding meat.[41]
The portraits gave Van Gogh his best opportunity to earn. He believed they were "the only thing in painting that moves me deeply and that gives me a sense of the infinite."[223][226] He wrote to his sister that he wished to paint portraits that would endure, and that he would use colour to capture their emotions and character rather than aiming for photographic realism.[227] Those closest to Van Gogh are mostly absent from his portraits; he rarely painted Theo, Van Rappard or Bernard. The portraits of his mother were from photographs.[228]
The original version of the Vans skateboard logo was designed in Costa Mesa, California in the 1970s by Mark Van Doren at the age of 13. The son of then President and co-owner James Van Doren, Mark designed the logo as a stencil to be spray painted on his skateboards. Initially introduced for the heel tab on an early Vans' skateboard shoe, the Style 95, this original Vans skateboard logo is an important part of Vans history."[citation needed]
Van Gogh moved to Paris in March 1886 where he shared Theo's rue Laval apartment in Montmartre, and studied at Fernand Cormon's studio. In June the brothers took a larger flat at 54 rue Lepic.[102] In Paris, Vincent painted portraits of friends and acquaintances, still life paintings, views of Le Moulin de la Galette, scenes in Montmartre, Asnières and along the Seine. In 1885 in Antwerp he had become interested in Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints, and had used them to decorate the walls of his studio; while in Paris he collected hundreds of them. He tried his hand at Japonaiserie, tracing a figure from a reproduction on the cover of the magazine Paris Illustre, The Courtesan or Oiran (1887), after Keisai Eisen, which he then graphically enlarged in a painting.[103]
The time in Arles became one of Van Gogh's more prolific periods: he completed 200 paintings, and more than 100 drawings and watercolours.[115] He was enchanted by the local landscape and light; his works from this period are rich in yellow, ultramarine and mauve. His paintings include harvests, wheat fields and general rural landmarks from the area, including The Old Mill (1888), a picturesque structure bordering the wheat fields.[116] This was one of seven canvases sent to Pont-Aven on 4 October 1888 in an exchange of works with Paul Gauguin, Émile Bernard, Charles Laval and others.[116]
In mid-1889, and at his sister Wil's request, Van Gogh painted several smaller versions of Wheat Field with Cypresses.[249] The works are characterised by swirls and densely painted impasto, and include The Starry Night, in which cypresses dominate the foreground.[246] In addition to this, other notable works on cypresses include Cypresses (1889), Cypresses with Two Figures (1889–90), and Road with Cypress and Star (1890).[250]
Many of the comedy films Van Dyke starred in throughout the 1960s were relatively unsuccessful at the box office, including What a Way to Go! with Shirley MacLaine, Lt. Robin Crusoe, U.S.N., Fitzwilly, The Art of Love with James Garner and Elke Sommer, Some Kind of a Nut, Never a Dull Moment with Edward G. Robinson, and Divorce American Style with Debbie Reynolds and Jean Simmons. But he also starred as Caractacus Pott (with his native accent, at his own insistence, despite the English setting) in the successful musical version of Ian Fleming's Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968), which co-starred Sally Ann Howes and featured the same songwriters (The Sherman Brothers) and choreographers (Marc Breaux and Dee Dee Wood) as Mary Poppins.
Nevertheless, the twelve customers selected the colors and styles they desired, and were asked to return later in the afternoon to pick up their purchases. Paul Van Doren and Lee then rushed to the factory to manufacture the selected shoes. When the customers returned that afternoon to pick up their shoes, Paul Van Doren and Gordon C. Lee realized that they had forgotten to maintain a cash reserve to provide change to customers. The customers were therefore given the shoes and asked to return the following day with their payments. All twelve of the customers returned the following day to pay for their items.[6]
On 27 July 1890, aged 37, Van Gogh shot himself in the chest with a 7mm Lefaucheux à broche revolver.[186][187] There were no witnesses and he died 30 hours after the incident.[160] The shooting may have taken place in the wheat field in which he had been painting, or a local barn.[188] The bullet was deflected by a rib and passed through his chest without doing apparent damage to internal organs – probably stopped by his spine. He was able to walk back to the Auberge Ravoux, where he was attended to by two doctors, but without a surgeon present the bullet could not be removed. The doctors tended to him as best they could, then left him alone in his room, smoking his pipe. The following morning Theo rushed to his brother's side, finding him in good spirits. But within hours Vincent began to fail, suffering from an untreated infection resulting from the wound. He died in the early hours of 29 July. According to Theo, Vincent's last words were: "The sadness will last forever".[189][190][191][192]
Van Gogh painted several landscapes with flowers, including roses, lilacs, irises, and sunflowers. Some reflect his interests in the language of colour, and also in Japanese ukiyo-e.[240] There are two series of dying sunflowers. The first was painted in Paris in 1887 and shows flowers lying on the ground. The second set was completed a year later in Arles, and is of bouquets in a vase positioned in early morning light.[241] Both are built from thickly layered paintwork, which, according to the London National Gallery, evoke the "texture of the seed-heads".[242]
In despair of ever being able to overcome his loneliness or be cured, van Gogh shot himself. He did not die immediately. When found wounded in his bed, he allegedly said, "I shot myself.…I only hope I haven't botched it." That evening, when interrogated by the police, van Gogh refused to answer questions, saying, "What I have done is nobody else's business. I am free to do what I like with my own body."

Hunting Simulator 2 Pawnee Meadows Point Of Interest Guide
Our guide will discuss the easiest way to find every point of interest location in Hunting Simulator 2's Pawnee Meadows map. Hunting Simulator 2 offers various points of interest that the player can discover throughout the game's maps. This includes towers, stands, blinds, and tents that can be used in different ways once they are found, which can sometimes be difficult to find.

While Hunting Simulator 2 is a newly released hunting simulation game, the game's maps also offer various points of interest to be discovered by the player. These include towers, stands, blinds, and tents which can be used in various ways once they are found and which are also discussed in our Hunting Simulator 2 review. However, in this Hunting Simulator 2 Pawnee Meadows Guide, we will be showing the location of each of these points of interest to help you easily find these advantageous locations and improve your hunting experience.
Towers and stands are tall elevated structures that players may discover which provides them with an elevated platform to hunt from. The only difference between the two is that towers are stand-alone structures and stands are attached to trees, and not every map has both.
Blinds are typically found near water and can be used for waterfowl hunting. Tents are points of interest that can be used to fast travel around the map when discovered. All of these offer the player different advantages when playing through the game.

The amount of discoverable POI, as well as how difficult it is to locate all POI, varies greatly by map. The game is helpful in one aspect though: the POI will "shimmer," which makes them easier to find. This can be tricky to determine when the light is out, but if you keep seeing a strobe of light from a particular area, it may be worth it to take out your binoculars and see if a POI is on the horizon.
Finding each POI in a given map earns the player a trophy for the game, all of which are "Ultra Rare." Here, we discuss the easiest way to find every point of interest location in Hunting Simulator 2's Pawnee Meadows map.
A blind at the Pawnee Meadows map in Hunting Simulator 2.
1) Blinds
2) Southeast Towers / Tents
3) Northeast and North Towers / Tents
4) Southwest Tower and Tent
The blinds are the easiest POI to discover in this map. To the north and west sides of the cabin where the player starts, there are three ponds clustered together, each with its own blind.
A map shows the three ponds near the cabin in Pawnee Meadows.
There isn't really a difference or faster way to get to these three, as they are all close by, so for the purpose of this guide, I would just have you move in a counter-clockwise fashion while starting at the pond north of the cabin. Head to this pond first and the blind can be found on the northeastern shore of the pond. (Note: At each POI location, I made sure to enter the structure at least once, just to be sure that it saved my progress. I doubt this is necessary, but it made me feel better at least.)
Then, if you travel directly west from this first blind, you should come to the northeastern corner of the second pond where another blind is located. The faction to the pond to the northwest of the cabin. For the next blind in this cluster, head south around the second pond's shore and when you reach the southernmost tip of the second pond, head southwest to the southeastern corner of the third pond where the third blind can be found.

From here, when looking at the map, the player will find a pond almost directly south of the cabin. The player should mark a waypoint on the west side of this pond, about one-third of the way down. Traveling to this spot, the player will find the fourth blind.
The final blind can be found along the southeast corner of this pond. The player can find it by going around either the northeastern or southwestern shore of the pond from the fourth blind.

Southeast Towers / Tents
During my own playthrough, I found that it was quickest to search for towers and tents simultaneously, since they are often reasonably close to one another. Therefore, for the purposes of this guide, I will go through towers and tents based on geographical location. This will help guide the player to hit all tower and tent locations in a counter-clockwise motion around the map.
A shimmering tent in Pawnee Meadows.
Heading from the final blind location, the first tent location can be found over a hill, a short way to the east. As mentioned above, it should be glowing or shimmering, so the player ought to be able to pick out the tent. From here, the player should see a tower to the east. The player can easily view it and make their way over there.
The first tent and tower east of the final blind location.
From the first tower, the player then will need to travel a decent way to the northwest to reach the next tower location. Then, by heading northeast, they can reach another tent location.
This map shows the other POI locations North of the first tent and blind, and east of the cabin.
Northeast and North Towers / Tents
A map of the northeast and north POI locations at Pawnee Meadows.
Directly north of the last tent location, another tower can be found. This tower is in one "square" north of the first pond on the map, but is two squares above this past tent location. From there, the player will head northeast to the top right square of the map to find another tent location.
The player will then place their waypoint about four squares to the west just below the line of the bottom square. Traversing to this location, the player will find another tower directly north of the spot in between the first two ponds. From here, you can travel to the far northwest corner of the map to find the fourth tent.

Southwest Tower and Tent
The last two points of interest are a long haul from the previous tent location, so feel free to hunt and take your time with getting there if you so choose. Head southeast for three squares on the map and the final tower location can be found to the southwest of the third pond (the small circular one located to the southwest of the cabin).

From there, travel southeast to reach the final tent location.
The final tower and tent location in the southwest portion of the map.
When all the points of interest are located, you will earn the "Meadow explorer" trophy for finding all the POI in Pawnee Meadows. The player will then be able to fast travel to and from the cabin and tent locations. Additionally, the blinds will provide the player coverage among the weeds to hunt waterfowl and ducks.

Finally, having all the tower locations available will provide a height advantage to observing game in the vast, open environment. I particularly found this useful when I was tracking game near a tower, as I could head to the tower instead of following the animal and then trying to call the desired game my way or take a better shot without having to walk around the various hills and tall grass that sometimes hinder visibility.

(CNSNews.com) - President Donald Trump said Tuesday that a decision would be made soon on pulling U.S. troops out of Syria.
During a joint White House press conference with leaders of the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, Trump was asked about his plans to pull troops from Syria, considering that some of his military advisers are urging him to keep a contingent of U.S. troops there to ensure the defeat of ISIS.
"As far as Syria's concerned, our primary mission in terms of that was getting rid of ISIS. We've almost finished that task, and we'll be making a decision very quickly in coordination with others in the area as to what we'll do," Trump said.
The president said Saudi Arabia is very interested in the United States' decision and that he told them if they want the U.S. to stay, they might have to pay.
"Saudi Arabia is very interested in our decision, and I said, 'well, you know, you want us to stay, maybe you'll have to pay.' But a lot of people, you know, we do a lot of things in this country. We do them for a lot of reasons, but it's very costly for our country, and it helps other countries a hell of a lot more than it helps us. So we're going to be making a decision," he said.
"We've had a tremendous military success against ISIS as you know. It's close to 100 percent as I just said, and we'll be making a decision as to what we do in the very near future. We'll be consulting also with groups of our people and groups of our allies," Trump said.
Trump said as a civilian he warned the U.S. to keep the oil in Iraq and areas seized by ISIS, but because the U.S. didn't, ISIS was able to use it to fund its operations.
"And as you remember in civilian life for years I said keep the oil. I was always saying keep the oil. We didn't keep the oil. Who got the oil? It was ISIS got the oil, a lot of it. That's what funded their campaigns. They took a lot of the oil, and it was largely responsible for funding. We should have kept the oil then. We didn't keep the oil," he said.
"So I want to get back. I want to rebuild our nation. Think of it, $7 trillion over a 17-year period. We have nothing, nothing, except death and destruction. It's a horrible thing. So it's time. It's time. We were very successful against ISIS. We'll be successful against anyone militarily, but sometimes it's time to come back home, and we're thinking about that very seriously," the president added.

Who can initiate a wrongful termination lawsuit?
On behalf of Turbin Chu Heidt Attorneys at Law posted in Wrongful Death on Thursday, January 31, 2019.
At some point in time people in Hawaii will lose loved ones in their life. No one lives forever. The hope is that the loved one will live a long, full life and pass away peacefully in their sleep and many people do end up dying in that manner. However, many other people die much younger and unexpectedly. This could be because of a disease or illness or because of a fatal accident. Anytime this occurs it is very difficult on the family, but it can be particularly difficult when they know the accident could have been avoided.
If the accident was caused by the negligence of another, the accident should have never happened. Therefore, the person who caused the accident may be required to compensate the victim's family for what they did. This compensation can be extremely valuable because the deceased could have provided a significant portion of the income for the family in addition to love and support that is extremely difficult to replace. The compensation can pay for any lost future income, medical bills, funeral costs, loss of companionship and other damages.
Obviously the victim of the accident is not able to initiate the wrongful death lawsuit that may be necessary to receive the proper compensation though. So, a number of individuals are allowed to initiate it. These people include the victim's legal representative, who would recover the compensation on behalf of the beneficiaries of the deceased, or the beneficiaries themselves could initiate the lawsuit. Beneficiaries include spouses, children, parents and other family members.
Unfortunately there are many fatal accidents in Hawaii each year and many people lose loved ones far sooner than they should have to. These families may suffer not only emotionally, but also financially. That is why compensation can be so valuable even though it will never bring the loved one back. Experienced attorneys understand the difficulties that surround fatal accidents and may be able to guide one through the process.

- Begin with an introductory exercise about unions.
- Lead this exercise about power to illustrate common tensions and challenges facing groups of workers.
-Ask the students to make a list of the major events of the strike, explaining the significance of each and discussing their relationship to the other events. How did one event lead to the next?
- Ask the students to imagine being alive during the strikes in 1934. Ask them to write a letter to the editor expressing whether they agree or disagree with the strike and why. As preparation, visit the online archives of the Minneapolis Labor Review and review articles written during this period. You may wish to assign the students specific roles or identities for this exercise (brother of a striker, high school teacher, small business owner, etc.)
- Ask the students to imagine that they are members of Teamsters Local 574 during the strike and have been asked to write a short article for the "Organizer"– the union's newspaper. The "Organizer" is distributed daily to other strikers as well as to the general public. Ask the students to consider what they think would motivate their co-workers.
- Ask the students to work in small groups, brainstorming two lists-- one cataloging the Union's tactics and methods and the other cataloging the Citizens' Alliance tactics and methods. Compare and contrast.
- Examine photos of the strike. Ask what students notice and what the photos indicate about power iand the economy in 1934. Ask the students to find one person or image that interests them and to explain why.
- Compare coverage of the strike in the Minneapolis Labor Review with other press at the time. Many archived papers are available at the University of Minnesota's Wilson Library and the Minnesota Historical Society. Ask the students to compare articles from the same dates. Discuss differences in tone and perspective. Discuss whether such differences exist today.
- Analyze Bertolt Brecht's poem "A Worker Reads History." This lesson is taken from The Power In Our Hands: A Curriculum on the History of Work and Workers in the United States, by Bill Bigelow and Norman Diamond.
- Distribute the lyrics to "The Soup Song" and listen to the song. Discuss the meaning of the lyrics and what they communicate about what life was like for unemployed people in 1934.
- Read and discuss "Waitin' on Roosevelt" by Langston Hughes. Ask the students to consider the syle of the poem as well as the reasons for Hughes' complaints with Roosevelt.
- Examine the original document of the National Industrial Recovery Act (especially Clause 7 (a). See these suggestions for integrating primary documents in the classroom. Discuss similar contemporary legislation.
- Ask the students to select a current popular song to re-write. Ask them to write new lyrics about the 1934 strikes and/or about current labor issues. Explain that the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) often did this and that many unions continue the tradition today. See these contemporary song parodies. Larry Long's 1934 Truckers' Strike version of "Which Side are you On?" (on the home page of this website) is another great example.
- Ask the students to view and discuss Ben Fisher's zine, "Seven Snippets" about the '34 Minneapolis strikes. Ask what they think the artist is trying to express and what the words/ images communicate. Ask the students to design their own zine about the truckers' strikes or about current labor issues. See this sample assignment. Another example of a zine about a labor strike is here.
- Ask the students to read V.R. Dunne's 1939 letter. Discuss why the author would be considered a "rebel in thought. " What does Dunne feel are the key lessons of the '34 strikes?
- Ask the students to imagine that they are a member of the "Committee of 100," the democratically elected group of strike union leaders. What do they think would be rewarding and/or challenging about serving in this position?
- Ask the students to imagine that they are a part of a committee of strikers tasked with designing a new handbill (flyer) for the strike. See this example of a handbill printed during the strike. Ask the students to decide who their intended audience is (general public, farmers, members of other unions, etc.)
- Create a timeline of the different strikes across the country in 1934. Compare the strategies and tactics employed by the strikers in different locations and across industries; the demographics of the striking workers (the Toledo Auto-Lite strike, for example, had many women leaders); and the different ways that the strikes have been commemorated.

This is SAD news. *sighs* Nichols was truly a revolutionary feminist. Willing to resign from the part that was, at first, just a black woman fielding radio calls. She even told MLK she was about to do it, and he told her NO!, that, even in the background, it was vital for all the audience to see a competent, black, woman, as a member of the bridge crew (of the shows flagship). Still hesitating, Nimoy flew into Roddenberry and demanded she be paid equal to all of them or they would all walk out, kaboom.
I reiterate these stories to chide myself. As a child when I watched the show, I always dismissed Uhura as a "token", and the role was just a "secretary", inconsequential, etc, etc. The famous "kiss with Shatner", I just dismissed as "so what? He was _forced_ to kiss her against his will." I was too young for all the racist outrage of the adults of the time.
Zoe Saldana, as the "new" Uhura, while doing a fine job, has not been written up to match Nichols' performance.
if only Dr. McCoy were real, he'd fix her right up.
Amphiox says

It always struck me that the Trek writers seriously underplayed the medical potential for their transporter tech. That episode where Picard needed open heart surgery should never have been necessary.
Frankly, the they could have had functional immortality (store your 20 ish year old, or whatever age you prefer, body in the buffer, and when you're 80, swap your current brain pattern in the buffer into your stored young body, repeat as necessary, and done.
And all the red shirts should be storing weekly backups of themselves, for reconstitution as needed….

Just this week I discovered that Star Trek Online, the ST massively multiplayer game, has numerous memorials in key locations dedicated to pretty much anyone who ever worked on some iteration of ST and then passed away. They are quite lovely, but I do hope they won't have to add a name any time soon.
[On one of the memorials they had notable quotes from the actors–for Leonard Nimoy they used his last tweet, "A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP."
Rarely does twitter so justify itself.]

Koenig and Takei both have reasonable shots at living longer. They're both younger than Shatner and are in good health (as far as I know). I don't know much about their hobbies, but I do know that Shatner is an avid horseback rider, which carries a certain risk especially at his age.
moarscienceplz says
I once read an article that claimed that even if you solved the matter/energy conversion problems the transporter would still be impossible due to the computing power needed to scan, store, and process the pattern of all the energy states of a human body. Being able to identify structures that needed modification just makes the problem that much worse.
After all, we have been able to transmit TV images for about 80 years, but only in the last handful of years did we have the computing power to add a visible scrimmage line to a live football game, for instance.
(More on topic)
Uhura.com has an email address for questions for Nichelle. I don't know if anyone is maintaining it, but I left a little get well message there. I hope she gets it.
[transporter as surgeon] would still be impossible due to the computing power needed to scan, store, and process the pattern of all the energy states of a human body.
but, but, but, sputter, Didn't they, one time, note the transporter removes all the serious infectious microbes from the transportees, so planetary quarantine was never required? And didn't DS9 once use it to "transplant" a fetus from one woman into another? cough cough
This is just one difficulty of trying to create a consistent "magic" technology (one beyond plausibility). First, one posits a rule that it can't "do this", then (when the plot requires), it is capable of doing that. Because nobody knows how this thing works, one can get away with it being able to do whatever the story needs (like splitting Kirk into good&evil Kirk).
Aside from this jab at the writers; the medical potential of a transporter-like device for surgical extraction cases, is profoundly conceivable, when we get a round tuit.
slithey tove
They probably just tweaked the technology in between episodes. "Oh, this, it's actually Version 3.2.5 and yes, it can do that!"
Being able to identify structures that needed modification just makes the problem that much worse.
See, the thing is, you don't have to need to do that. All you need is have prestored healthy baseline (say from the last time that individual used the transporter), and then cut and past. (current brain to preserve memory and personality, old body or body part- your heart from yesterday will work in your body today just fine). And since we already know the transporter has enough memory to transport multiple people at once, we know it has more than enough memory to do this.
Individuals could even "buy" (whatever the post scarcity trek world equivalent) and keep their own backups on their own storage media privately, if ship'so memory is at a premium for day to day operations.
When it comes to redshirt restoration, you don't even need to cut and paste. Store their pattern when they beam down, keep in memory for duration of mission (if memory is limited, you can delete after they are safely back on the ship). If they should meet an untimely demise, just reassemble from the stored backup, using whatever the store of matter you are using for your replicators, or even that person's recovered remains if available, as the raw material. The individual will just have lost all memory of the mission that led to their demise. It'll be no worse for them than a concussion with retrograde amnesia.
5 June 2015 at 12:07 pm
I'm with Dr. McCoy, no way would I ever step in a transporter, since it kills you and then replicates you. Sure, you're replica might have all your memories*, but you'd still be very dead.
* Actually, it wouldn't. Mapping all of the particles in the body and reproducing them correctly is impossible given the uncertainty principle and quantum mechanics–you might get a rough semblance of a human, maybe, but probably just "ye liveliest awfulness", to mix genres for a moment.
Did you hear that Nichelle Nichols had a stroke?
Caine says
Oh, I hope she will be alright. I've had an ongoing crush on Ms. Nichols for a very long time. The inspiration she provided for generations of young women is one hell of a legacy, and I hope she's around for a long time yet.

Nope, that's what the Heisenberg compensators are for, after all. (And nobody ever bothered to explain it.)
Wikipedia relates:
When asked "How does the Heisenberg compensator work?" by Time magazine, Star Trek technical adviser Michael Okuda responded: "It works very well, thank you.
BTW, on DS9 they were much more focused on the storyline, less on the techno-babble (leading to Holo-Vic-Fontain just dismissing Kiras question how he as a holodeck program could just switch to another holosuite…)
David Marjanović says
I just dismissed as "so what? He was _forced_ to kiss her against his will."
Or her will for that matter.
What exactly do you mean? What immediately comes to mind is the scene where she meets Kirk for the first time. He promptly tries to pick her up; I sighed, rolled my eyes and thought "it's over, he Gets The Girl". He does not Get The Girl. She's immune to the pickup lines and the creepy "charm" of the greatest *eyeroll* seductor in the galaxy. Instead she's with Spock – and plays a very active part in that relationship; she's no more Spock's background decoration than she is Kirk's.
It always struck me that the Trek writers seriously underplayed the medical potential for their transporter tech.
"It is generally accepted among non‐Trekkie SF fans that Star Trek 'transporters', hereinafter abbreviated to TPs, are an insanely gross piece of quasiscience best kept decently offstage. Unfortunately, the Trekkies have trouble grasping this, and insist on plots that focus on infeasible TP phenomena. My suspension‐of‐disbelief glands can't take very much more of this, so in the hope of scaring scriptwriters into avoiding the subject I am obliged to go into the awful details."
Goes on about "society-smashing practical implications". :-)
I'm not disparaging Zoe as an actress, but the role they've warped [pun intended] Uhura into. Instead of a competent, contributing crewmember, they've warped her into Spock's reluctant lovetoy. Just my impression, maybe a misperception, but I'll still blame the writers for making it so easy to miss-perceive the "real" Uhura.
kc9oq says
Yeah, I always wanted to write me some fanfic featuring transporter medicine.
The transporter biofilter definitely was mentioned on the show, if not TOS, certainly TNG. Makes me wonder, though — would biofilter settings be something the transporter tech is responsible for? What about that streptococcus-novi in "Way to Eden"?
What would happen if the wrong symbiotic bacteria were filtered out? A case of transporter-induced agita? Maybe McCoy's aversion to transportation was grounded in some medical basis.
Silentbob says
She did an interview with NdGT a few years ago that I very much recommend (downloadable mp3).
they've warped her into Spock's reluctant lovetoy
What? All the initiative in that relationship is hers.
In the original series, in contrast, she hardly ever gets to say anything other than "Hailing frequences open".
re 23:
David, I'm tempted to start debating you about Uhura's depiction in Into Darkness. I'll just try to clarify my statement, "Spock's reluctant lovetoy". I agree that was poorly phrased. The attempt was to phrase it that the reluctance was Spock's, not Uhura's. While she initiated the contacts, he accepted them with no serious objection, just physical reluctance. The fact that they made the faux relationship such a significant part of the story is what I'm objecting to. While TOS did not write her role very well, at least they left her as a person, contributing a significant role on the bridge. In my not so humble opinion, the writers were simply reducing her to a romantic role, diminishing the character as a person. ST should keep exploring the roles of the characters as PEOPLE, and not just always addressing stereotypes. [looking at Chekov always claiming things as Russian in origin]. Part of the role of exploring them as people could occasionally have them confronting the issue of being stereotyped, but leave it as incidentals, not the sole focus of the character.
sheesh. longwinded me, this not my blog, not my thread. I'll stop now.

Nepos: Mapping all of the particles in the body and reproducing them correctly is impossible given the uncertainty principle and quantum mechanics–you might get a rough semblance of a human, maybe, but probably just "ye liveliest awfulness", to mix genres for a moment.
Yes, barring some scientific breakthrough. Also, the engineering requirements are formidable, as someone pointed out above. Lawrence Krauss did a good job of explaining this in his book The Physics of Star Trek.

Largest mainstream test of UK porn age verification is a success
People had to prove they were over 18 to watch the newly released film
Neil ShawHead of Digital, live and trending for PlymouthLive, DevonLive and CornwallLive
The largest mainstream test of an online age verification system since the announcement of the UK's "porn ban" took place last night, and has been feted as a huge success.
Digital age gates were placed on "I Want Fourplay," an adult film created during Channel 4's shooting of the documentary "Mums Make Porn." The film was directed by five mothers who sought to draw attention to the negative impact that easy-access pornography has on children's mental wellbeing.
The three-part show had over 850,000 viewers in the UK, with the film available to watch after the final episode last night (3rd April 2019.)
Student cries after being on set of porn shoot, saying it's 'the worst thing' he's ever seen
Viewers were required to authenticate their age as over-18; something that will be mandatory once age verification legislation is implemented under the Digital Economy Act later this year. The process was supported by leading age verification software provider, AgeChecked .
The system worked by age-verifying customers through a driving licence, credit card or mobile phone - the latter of which emerged as by far the most popular method of verification. It then provided them with a unique username and password.
Mums make porn they'd be happy for their kids to watch
The external film website only received a 'pass' or 'fail' message - nothing more – whilst users that did not meet the age requirements were denied entry.
AgeChecked's software, which has been subject to rigorous testing for a number of years, never stores personal information on its users and credentials are anonymised, so personal data cannot be passed on to the adult website in question – or indeed anyone.
Anger over delay to age checks for porn websites
"I Want Fourplay" was made in collaboration with Erika Lust, which is renowned for being a responsible and ethical adult organisation. This was further highlighted by the filmmaker's decision to implement age verification from overseas (the company is based in Barcelona) despite not yet being required to by law.
Alastair Graham, CEO of AgeChecked, said: "The results of this first mainstream test of our software were hugely encouraging.
"Whilst an effective date for the new legislation's implementation is yet to be confirmed by the British Board of Film Classification, this suggests a clear preparedness to offer robust, secure age verification procedures to the adult industry's 24-30 million UK users.
"It also highlights that customers are willing to participate in the process when they know that they are being verified by a secure provider, with whom their identity is fully protected.
Majority of Brits unaware of new 'porn block' - here's what you need to know
"The popularity of mobile phone verification was interesting and presumably due the simplicity of using this device. This is something that we foresee as being a key part of this process moving forward."
Rudd Apsey, a spokesman for the Age Verification Providers Association (AVPA) said: "There have been a number of negative stories lately about the so-called 'porn ban' in the UK. This test demonstrates that the age verification measures required under the Digital Economy Act can be successfully applied to adult websites without issue – verification of adults can be quick and anonymous. It is worth remembering that the goal of this legislation is to protect young kids from stumbling across adult content - the UK is leading the world in the introduction of online child protection measures."

Company Representatives: Kris Kleckner - Producer, Judy DeFrieze - Assistant Producer, Bill Rogers - Voice Actor
New TRSI Acquisitions:
Gravitation OAV
New Critical Mass Acquisitions:
Gakuen no Syuryousya
Heisabyouin
Onnakyousi Yumi no Houkago
Currently TRSI expects to release Piano in the Spring on 2005 and the Gravitation OAV series in the summer of 2005.
In addition to announcing the above new acquisitions, TRSI also confirmed / re-itereated that they had acquired the Boogiepop Phantom Live Action movie, Boys Be and To Heart.
Work on the Boogiepop Phantom live-action movie is already underway, and it is very tentatively expected to be released in the spring of 2005 (subject to change). No English dub will be produced for the movie, it will be an original Japanese + English sub-titles only release.
Boys Be and To Heart are both expected to be released in late 2005.
The Captain Tylor Ultimate Collections are scheduled for the Spring of 2005. There will be two collections, one for the TV series, and another for the OVA series. Three new discs of almost 400 minutes worth of bonus supplemental material and omake will be included. All the bonus material included in the recently released Japanese DVDs will be included. Among the extras will be a Q&A session with Hitoshi Yoshioka, the original creator of the Captain Tylor novels.
TRSI's release of Shingu (Gakuen Senki Muryou) will be split over 5 DVDs. TRSI has completed dubbing of the 26-episode TV series. Originally TRSI had planned to show the first episode of Shingu at their panel, but a scheduling issue prevented them from doing this as the following panel was moved up by half an hour.
