Philo, like nearly every other service listed here, gives you a long list of popular cable channels to watch live over the internet. But it differs significantly in what content is supports — or more accurately, doesn't support. Despite boasting a bevy of channels, including Viacom-owned favorites like MTV and Comedy Central (absent from many competing services), the four major networks — Fox, NBC, CBS, and ABC — are not carried by Philo, nor is anything from ABC's parent company, Disney. That means, along with no local affiliates, there is also no ESPN. When it comes to locals, though, many viewers can get them over the air with a simple (and affordable) HD antenna for free.

Roku – This nifty little device streams a batch of different free internet channels like Blip.tv, Twit.tv, and even your Flickr photostream. You can also use it to access your Netflix and Amazon Video On Demand Accounts, making it a great alternative to a TiVo or other DVR. A new Roku will set you back anywhere from $80 - $120, depending on the model you choose.
Yes, in theory, the higher the dB gain number the better. Although, overall performance is just as important. You must also consider where you live and where the broadcast towers are located. If they are over the visual horizon, a higher number is better. If not, a lower number is ok. You must watch out for high dB numbers that are marketing ploys to get you to pay more for a product you may not need.
Those who want to see non-British foreign television have ample options, too. In addition to the aforementioned Acorn (which also features programs from Canada and Australia, among other countries), both MHz Choice and Walter Presents have well-curated collections of European series, with a particular emphasis on the many great Scandinavian crime dramas. And the increasingly popular TV coming out of South Korea is available on DramaFever, Viki, and Kocowa.
Local stations often have their own transmitters, which means that there's a good chance that your favorite local station is available for free over the air. Over-the-air TV may seem old-school, but there's nothing old-fashioned about the crisp HD streams that are the hallmark of modern OTA TV. The right antenna will get you HD feeds of local networks, including local affiliates of the four major networks (ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC), plus PBS and other local stations. An antenna is all you need to watch everything from NFL football to the local news.
Great! You're already half way there! What I would do next is take a look at Hulu, Sling TV, CBS All Access, etc. to find out which option has the majority of what you want to see. If that company does not cover sports you may have to purchase an add on for it. As far as local sports, you might consider an antenna if you can't get coverage otherwise.
Hi Kayla, have you heard anything about EZ Digital? Want to cancel my cable and just saw this website offering EZ Digital. I guess it's an indoor antenna you can buy for $30 to $50. and you can get 50+ channels. Looks good. You buy it so no monthly fee. Just a little skeptical because the don't offer a link to get more info and there's no phone number to contact. If it's legitimate, would be great. Your thoughts? Thanks for all the great too!
Sally, I use YouTube TV and it works great. I get all my local channels and a total of about 40. They also supply a large amount of movies and TV shows. My 40 dollar fee is half of what I paid to cable and DirecTV. A point of using it when you first start is if you're done with your use of YouTube, use your back button several times to get an exit screen. It is really easy. Otherwise, you will have to go to sign in screens all the time. It took me a little while to figure all this out. Good luck.
You might have a Blu-ray player or smart TV with streaming apps on board, but those offer a pretty dismal streaming experience. Newer TVs from Samsung and LG have pretty impressive smart interfaces, and Roku TVs like TCL's 6-Series are fantastic for all-in-one streaming. Otherwise, if you're going to transition to a full-time streaming entertainment plan you may want a separate device purpose-built for the job. Below is a small selection of some of our favorites. If you want more recommendations, we highly recommend sourcing our full list of the best streaming devices you can buy.
For those looking for "cable lite" in the form of small packaged cable subscriptions from services like Sling TV and DirectTV Now, we've got a list of the best streaming live TV services. Keep in mind, though, that most of these services don't offer unlimited access to broadcast channels like NBC, CBS, ABC, and Fox. What I'm referring to is the ability to watch any broadcast channel available in your area.
By late 1993, Prevue Guide was rebranded as "Prevue Channel," and an updated channel logo was unveiled to match. Beginning in early 1994 and up until its first couple of years as the TV Guide Channel, the network licensed production music (first at one-minute lengths, later at 15- and 30-second lengths) from several music libraries for use as interstitial music. The vast majority of these music tracks were licensed from the Killer Tracks and FirstCom production music libraries, both of which are subsidiaries of Universal Music Publishing Group. In 1996, the Prevue Channel logo was given a new eye-like design, and two years later, the classic Dodger-style typeface its logo had incorporated since 1988 was replaced with an italicized lower-case Univers, though Sneak Prevue continued to use the original logo font until it shut down in 2002. In 1997, Prevue Channel became the first electronic program guide to show formalized TV ratings symbols for Canada and the United States, which appeared alongside program titles within the listings grid, as well as in the supplementary scheduling information overlaid accompanying promo videos in the top half of the screen.
In 2011, TV Guide Network dramatically overhauled its programming, abandoning most of its original shows (with the exception of original specials and red carpet coverage) and switching its focus to reruns of programming primarily from the 1990s and 2000s, along with select 1980s series and films. In January 2012, upon Lionsgate's acquisition of film studio Summit Entertainment, it was announced that the channel was up for sale.[31] That year, CBS Corporation considered buying the network. In March 2013, CBS and Lionsgate entered into a 50/50 joint venture to operate the network, to coincide with the former firm's intention to buy One Equity Partners' share of its other TV Guide interests.[32] The deal, worth $100 million, closed on March 26, 2013.[33]
That said, if you want a cable-like experience both at home and on the go without the dead weight that a cable subscription brings, then a streaming service is worth a look. There's no contract to sign, and if you don't like the service you're on, you can easily switch. So whether you're looking for a basic package such as Sling TV or want to pay more for a deluxe experience from the likes of PlayStation Vue, there should be a streaming TV service to suit you.
We've covered the major techniques and services that you can use to watch TV without cable. But what about watching TV without cable on, you know, your actual TV? You already know that OTA antennas plug straight into your TV, but loading up on streaming services doesn't help much unless you have a way to watch those on your TV, too. Fortunately, there's an entire industry built around solving this dilemma. Let's talk streaming hardware!
In 1991, Prevue Networks launched Sneak Prevue, a spin-off barker channel that was exclusively used to promote programming on a provider's pay-per-view services; it displayed full-screen promos (augmented by graphics displaying scheduling and ordering information) and a schedule of upcoming films and events airing on each pay-per-view channel based on either airtime or genre. The channel was also driven by Amiga 2000 hardware, and its software was as crash-prone as the Prevue Guide software itself. TV Guide Network ceased operations of Sneak Prevue in 2002.
Hulu With Live TV also presents some stiff competition when it comes to sports, providing a variety of channels, including ESPN, CSN, and Fox Sports 1. Hulu with Live TV also lets users follow their favorite sports teams from the NFL, NCAA, NBA, MLS, MLB, and NHL, and record their games, provided they're available. Furthermore, you can use your Hulu with Live TV login information to sign in to the ESPN App to access live ESPN coverage via ESPN+.
This is by no means a comprehensive list of alternatives to cable, but it's a great mix-and-match way to get started. And you can usually get a free trial of almost any of these before you commit. If you're not quite ready to give up your favorite sports or movie channels, you can always call your cable or satellite provider and try to negotiate a better deal. Knowing your options will usually work to your advantage!
The light grey program-by-program summaries for individual channels, red and light blue channel highlighting, and graphical "Prevue Weather" forecasts that were previously available to cable systems as optional grid features and inserts remained available in the same manners as before. Closed captioning, MPAA movie rating and VCR Plus+ logos were additionally introduced by this version of the software, and unlike in prior versions, large graphical Prevue Guide logos appeared within its grid, between listings cycles. The old, synthesized interstitial music that had been used since 1988 was also replaced with a more modern piece called "Opening Act," from the defunct James & Aster music library.
DIRECTV NOW was DIRECTV's way of keeping its satellite TV service available for users who don't want a dish installed or multi-year contracts. You can use the Just Right package and add HBO (Game of Thrones and Westworld for only $5 more per month instead of $15? Yeah, we're in). Consider also that you can get your favorite networks like HGTV, Sundance TV, and the Travel Channel. Plus, you can also record up to 20 hours of TV to hold onto for 30 days with the included cloud DVR.
For example, DIRECTV charges $20 a month for every month remaining on your contract. So if you need to get out of your contract but you still have nine months left, you're looking at a cool $180 plus a $15 deactivation fee. It's steep, for sure, but it's all in the contract agreement. Make sure to ask your provider about early termination fees before you sign, just in case.
PlayStation Vue is the slickest of all the major streaming TV providers, with a pleasant, evolved interface that is also easy to use. Its DVR is excellent, with unlimited storage and the ability to skip commercials on any show -- although unlike YouTube TV, shows in Vue's DVR are deleted after 28 days. The biggest knock is that it's one of the most expensive basic packages (Hulu is now also $45), but it has fewer channels than any of the Big Five aside from Sling TV, and local channel coverage is less comprehensive, too. You don't need a PlayStation 4 to watch it -- just like the others, Vue has apps for numerous streaming devices including Roku, Apple TV and Fire TV as well as phones and PCs -- but a PS4 is the only way to get its sweet multiscreen view.
Apart from the basic packages, add-on packs like Sports Extra, News Extra, Kids Extra, and other bundles can be added on top. There's even a respectable selection of movies for rent in HD for $4 each. While the picture may not be quite as reliable as cable or satellite TV (often dependent upon your device), Sling TV is affordable and easy to use, and the reliability has improved remarkably since launch.
Every major television broadcaster (NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX and the CW) has some kind of free content available on their website — some more than others. You might have to poke around a bit to find out if full episodes of your favorite show are available. Sometimes the full episodes are hidden behind a paywall, with only a smattering of episode clips available for free.
Our site publishes a ton of articles, though, so writing just one page on the same subject means we have an awful lot to cover. Thankfully, the best methods for watching TV without cable can be grouped together and simplified in pretty helpful ways. That's what we're going to do in the sections below – but, first, it's time for a brief moment of self-examination.
On June 11, 1998, News Corporation sold TV Guide to Prevue Networks parent United Video Satellite Group for $800 million and 60 million shares of stock worth an additional $1.2 billion (this followed an earlier merger attempt between the two companies in 1996 that eventually fell apart).[13][14][15] At midnight on February 1, 1999, the Prevue Channel was officially renamed to the "TV Guide Channel," and new graphics were implemented. With the rebranding, the hourly segments featured on the channel were revamped, with some being retitled after features in TV Guide magazine – including TV Guide Close-Up (which profiled a select program airing that night), TV Guide Sportsview (which maintained the same format as Prevue Sports, making the segment more similar in format to the listings section's sports guide than the color column of that name in the magazine), and TV Guide Insider (a segment featuring behind-the-scenes interviews).
The options above are ones I have personally found online. What if none of those providers service your location? Luckily, I have partnered with an internet sales solution team that will find available internet in your area. Simply call toll free (855) 432-3254, provide your zip code at the prompt and a sales representative will provide you with available internet offers in your area.
Spectrum cable packages give its subscribers the opportunity to watch their favorite TV Show episodes as soon as they get aired, and to catch up easily on previous show installments at whatever time that they may fancy – thanks to the Premium Channels add-on. With popular media production houses like HBO®, CINEMAX®, SHOWTIME®, TMC® & STARZ® to choose from. TV-fiends can now indulge in endless midnight reruns of their preferred show hits and remain comfortably glued to their screens for practically hours on end. Whether it's for tuning-in to the latest episode of Game of Thrones, a baseball match about to go live within an hour, or even a Drake concert that may be thrilling audiences in another part of the globe – with Spectrum TV packages, you can do all these neat things (and, of course, much more!).
Both of us have managed to survive without a cable subscription for years, but the lifestyle isn't for everyone. If you're going to take the plunge, you'll need a device—or multiple devices—to stream through. Thankfully, the cost of a media streamer is far less than it was even just a few years ago, so adding a few around your residence is easy to do. Over the past several years, we've found that Roku makes the best media streamers for most people, but we've tested streaming boxes from Apple, Google, Amazon, and Nvidia and have recommendations for any type of viewer.

06:30 - Hollywood's 100 Favorite TV Shows
Thanks to arrowshieldfan for the heads up.
What's the best TV show of all time? Who knows? This poll is strictly about favoriteshows, the programs people in Hollywood hold nearest to their hearts — that remind them of better times or speak to their inner child or inspire their creativity or just help them unwind after a crappy day at the studio — even if one or two of the programs listed here aren't exactly masterpieces of the medium.
Last year, THR published the world's first movie list based on a polling of Hollywood pros. This year's TV survey was handled in a similar fashion. We asked more than 2,800 industry people — including 779 actors, 365 producers and 268 directors, among others — to choose their favorite series of all time (excluding talk shows and news programs). Although the survey was anonymous, some big names were willing to go on the record. "My favorite is Twin Peaks," says Damon Lindelof, co-creator of Lost (No. 15 on the list, five above David Lynch's mystery). "It quite literally changed the way my brain worked." Mike Hopkins, CEO of Hulu, picks The Sopranos (No. 6). "It's just classic. It had everything," he says. But even when respondents didn't volunteer their own identities for the public, the results of this survey are full of surprises, starting with the show Hollywood chose as its all-time No. 1 favorite.

Weaving between modern day and a possible future where characters have changed radically, Poor Richard's Almanack is described as an edge-of-your-seat character thriller about a cadre of heroes who emerge as the new "Founding Fathers" after America is pushed to the brink of collapse. Hayes will play Madison Fischer, a paranoid schizophrenic who sees patterns where others don't. When she stumbles upon a plan for a series of terrorist attacks, she has to convince her CIA agent brother to look past her affliction and trust her.

Sources say Legendary liked that the original performed exceptionally well in China, where the company is heavily invested, but for now the project — which had been ramping up to make a release date in August 2017 — has been halted indefinitely and will be pushed back (if it gets made at all).

Madsen will play Beth Anne Rollins, whom showrunner Warren Leight describes as a "very protective" matriarch. "In theory, Amanda Rollins is her successful daughter. [She's] college-educated, a detective, moved to New York, so of course the mother likes the daughter who has a warrant out for her arrest, has been involved with very sketchy men and has run her life into the ground," Leight tells THR. "Beth Anne Rollins thinks that daughter can't make mistake and Amanda has turned her back on the family."
Whoopi Goldberg is having a run in with the Law...on Law & Order: SVU. The Oscar winner will guest star in an upcoming season 17 episode, E! News can exclusively report.
Peter Gallagher will also appear in "Institutional Fail," reprising the role of Chief Dodds.
Goldberg, will play Janette Grayson, a department of Child Services supervisor who is put on trial when the agency comes under fire for their internal policies. The episode is scheduled to air on Wednesday, Oct. 7 at 9 p.m. on NBC.

For 18 seasons, "South Park" has become known for addressing issues in pop culture and finding a way to spin it into parody. Wednesday night's Season 19 premiere episode, "Stunning and Brave," will keep that tradition alive as Cartman, Kenny, Stan and Kyle will address Tom Brady, his wife Gisele Bündchen and show some respect for Caitlyn Jenner.
In episode 1, the boys will have a new principal in charge of South Park Elementary. According to a South Park Studios press release, he will make the boys face the damage they've done "through their history of racism and unconscious bias."
The promo video for the Season 19 premiere shows Cartman taking a dig at the Deflategate scandal, sounding off about how he's going to "pull a Tom Brady" by appealing his four day detention sentence and ask to get no detention at all
0:00 - HBO orders Comedy Pilot from Pete Holmes
HBO has ordered half-hour pilot "Crashing," starring comedian Pete Holmes with Judd Apatow attached to direct, Variety has confirmed.
The project, which is loosely based on Holmes' personal life, follows a sweet, wholesome comedian who is forced to stay on the couches of New York's finest comics after his wife leaves him. Holmes and Apatow are exec producing, as is their manager, Dave Rath.
Apatow, who has a relationship with HBO as an exec producer of the Lena Dunham comedy "Girls," is not adverse to exploring his standup heritage. His 2009 film "Funny People," which starred his former roommate Adam Sandler, explored the dark side of success on the comedy circuit. He is repped by UTA, Mosaic and Ziffren Brittenham.
Holmes' credits include his late-night TBS series "The Pete Holmes Show," on which Apatow had appeared. He is repped by WME and Generate.

A+E NETWORKS ANNOUNCES CAST FOR ITS EVENT MINISERIES 'ROOTS' FROM A+E STUDIOS
Academy Award® Winners Forest Whitaker and Anna Paquin, Golden Globe® Award Winner Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Anika Noni Rose, Chad L. Coleman, Erica Tazel, Derek Luke and Newcomers Malachi Kirby and
Regé-Jean Page to Star
Mario Van Peebles and Bruce Beresford set as Directors for Nights Two and Four
Production Currently Underway in New Orleans, and Set to Begin later this month in South Africa
New York, NY – September 16, 2015 – A+E Networks announces new casting for its four-night, eight-hour scripted event miniseries "Roots," from A+E Studios, including Academy Award winner® Forest Whitaker (Lee Daniels' The Butler, South Paw) as "Fiddler," a slave who tries to mentor Kunta Kinte and risks his life to help him escape; Academy Award winner Anna Paquin (True Blood) as "Nancy Holt," the wife of a Confederate officer who has her own agenda when it comes to the handling of slaves; Golden Globe® Award winning and Emmy® Award nominated actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers (The Tudors) as "Tom Lea," an uneducated slave owner desperate to claw his way into the elite company of Southern gentility; Tony Award® winner Anika Noni Rose (Dream Girls, The Good Wife, The Princess and the Frog) as "Kizzy," the cherished, smart daughter of Kunta Kinte who maintains her family pride and warrior spirit; Chad L. Coleman (The Walking Dead, The Wire) as "Mingo," a stern no-nonsense slave who keeps the Lea plantation afloat; Erica Tazel (Justified) as "Matilda," a preacher's daughter and love interest to "Chicken George"; and Derek Luke (Captain America: The First Avenger, Antwone Fisher) as "Silla Ba Dibba," the military trainer of Juffure, charged with transforming teen boys into powerful Mandinka Warriors.
After a global search to find the perfect actors to play the iconic roles of "Kunta Kinte" and "Chicken George" that spanned 15 locations (Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Congo, South Africa, Kenya, Los Angeles, London, Toronto, Vancouver, Dallas, Austin, Atlanta, New York, Paris and Ireland), newcomers Malachi Kirby and Regé-Jean Page (Survivor, Waterloo) stood out from the crowd. Both Malachi as Kunta Kinte and Regé-Jean as Chicken George showed an emotional depth and understanding of the characters that is critical to the project. Malachi was handpicked by executive producers Will Packer and LeVar Burton, who played the original Kunta Kinte.
Kunta Kinte is a Mandinka warrior who is educated, proud, strong and resilient – all traits that empower him when he is captured by slavers, while Chicken George, Kizzy's son, is a handsome social magnet who knows how to transfix a crowd with a story, yet doesn't appreciate what he has until his luck abandons him.
They join previously announced Laurence Fishburne (Black-ish) as Alex Haley, the author of the novel Roots: The Saga of an American Family. Production is underway in New Orleans and set to begin later this month in South Africa.
Multi-award winning Mario Van Peebles (We The Party, Posse, New Jack City) and two-time Oscar® nominee Bruce Beresford (Tender Mercies, Breaker Morant, Bonnie & Clyde, Driving Miss Daisy,) are set to direct nights two and four respectively. They join previously announced multi-award winning Phillip Noyce (Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger, Salt) and Emmy Award winner Thomas Carter (Coach, Gifted Hands, The Ben Carson Story), who are directing nights one and three respectively. Grammy Award® winner Questlove is also on-board as the Executive Music Producer for the production.
"Roots" is a historical portrait of American slavery recounting the journey of one family's will to survive, endure and ultimately carry on their legacy despite enormous hardship and inhumanity. Spanning multiple generations, the lineage begins with young Kunta Kinte, who is captured in his homeland of The Gambia and transported in brutal conditions to colonial America, where he's sold into slavery. Throughout the series, the family continues to face adversity while bearing witness and contributing to notable events in U.S. history, including the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, slave uprisings and eventual emancipation. The story of Kunta Kinte and the women and men who came after him echoes through the history of millions of Americans of African descent, and reveals powerful truths about the universal resilience of the human spirit.
"Roots" is an A+E Studios production in association with Marc Toberoff and The Wolper Organization, the company that produced the original "Roots." Will Packer, Marc Toberoff, Mark Wolper, Lawrence Konner and Mark Rosenthal serve as executive producers. LeVar Burton and Korin D. Huggins are co-executive producers. Lawrence Konner, Mark Rosenthal, Alison McDonald, and Charles Murray are writing. Dirk Hoogstra, Arturo Interian and Michael Stiller serve as Executives in Charge of Production for HISTORY. "Roots" is distributed internationally by A+E Networks under the A+E Studios International banner.

0:00 - Luke Cage - Casting - Press Release
"Marvel's Luke Cage" has added four important characters with Misty Knight, Shades, Rafael Scarfe and Claire Temple. The series will be streaming everywhere Netflix is available in 2016.
Simone Missick to star as Misty Knight
Simone Missick ("Ray Donovan") has joined the cast to play popular character Misty Knight, a Harlem police detective who is determined to learn the truth about Luke Cage.
"We know fans have waited years to see Misty Knight brought to life, so we had to find the right actress," said Executive Producer/Marvel's Head of TV Jeph Loeb. "Simone blew us away with her performance as the strong-willed cop on a mission."
Theo Rossi to star as Shades
Theo Rossi ("Sons of Anarchy," "Bad Hurt") has joined the cast as Shades, a ruthless criminal with ties to Cage's mysterious past.
"Theo Rossi is a swiss army knife--no matter what you bring to him, he has a tool for it--and he's playfully unpredictable," said series Executive Producer and Showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker. "His Shades will be someone you hate to love."
Frank Whaley to star as Rafael Scarfe
Frank Whaley ("Ray Donovan," "Pulp Fiction") has been cast as Rafael Scarfe, a hard-nosed NYPD detective who partners with Misty Knight in their Luke Cage investigation.
"Frank Whaley has a wiry intensity that he's imbued in Det. Rafael Scarfe," said Coker. "He's a great counterpart to Misty, and a wonderful actor."
Rosario Dawson reprises her role as Claire Temple
Actress Rosario Dawson, celebrated for her work in "Top Five," "Sin City," and "Kids," will reprise her role from "Marvel's Daredevil" as nurse Claire Temple. Her blossoming friendship with Luke Cage will have a major impact on both characters' lives.
"We are thrilled to have Rosario in another one of our television series," said Loeb. "Her performance as Claire Temple in Marvel's Daredevil was astonishing and we can't wait to see her shine in Marvel's Luke Cage."
It was previously announced that Mike Colter ("Marvel's Jessica Jones," "The Good Wife") will play the charismatic lead character, Luke Cage, in the series. Mahershala Ali will play his archrival Cornell "Cottonmouth" Stokes.

Celebrating Aboriginal heritage
Researchers are highlighting the social and political legacy from generations of Aboriginal people in Melbourne's west.
The team from Moondani Balluk Indigenous academic unit and the Sir Zelman Cowen Centre are researching histories of significant Indigenous people and places from Melbourne's western suburbs to create a new website and online resources.
Lead researcher Dr Carolyn Woodley said the Bonmarart Leewik project – meaning 'Strong Ancestors' in the Woiwurrung language – highlighted the area's significant cultural heritage as it was being threatened by rapid development and change.
"We can't protect cultural heritage if people don't know about it and that's the same whether it's a burial site or midden in Ballarat or an old weatherboard house in Footscray," Dr Woodley said.
"So this is about making people see things from another perspective and appreciate the cultural significance of what's right there in front of them."
The research project focuses on around 10 significant sites and more than a dozen important figures who lived and worked in Footscray and surrounding suburbs.
These include William Cooper, who campaigned tirelessly for his people's rights; Marg Tucker, who, along with William Cooper, founded the Australian Aborigines' League; opera singer, teacher and rights campaigner Harold Blair; and Mollie Dyer who advocated for Aboriginal children while fostering 20 children herself and helping establish the Victorian Aboriginal Child Care Agency.
The project has revealed how several of these local histories have regional, national and even international significance. William Cooper, for example, is highly regarded by many in Israel for leading a 1938 march from Footscray to the German Consulate in central Melbourne protesting the persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany. The International Institute for Holocaust Research in Jerusalem honours his memory with a Chair for the Study of Resistance during the Holocaust.
Research into archival material and interviews to uncover lesser-known histories has now been presented on the Bonmarart Leewik website, with other teaching materials to follow.
Indigenous educator, Stewart Taylor, said compiling these stories gave a strong impression of how prolific and influential the local Aboriginal community has been.
"The struggles of those people who were not even recognised as citizens in their own country were immense," Mr Taylor said. "But what they achieved despite that has inspired a lot of people to continue those struggles."
Moondani Balluk Director, Karen Jackson, said the project's significance lay in presenting fragmented and sometimes undervalued knowledge in a way all community members could value and share.
"Much of this knowledge already exists in Aboriginal communities, where family and community connections with these events continue to this day. But for the wider community many of these stories represent new knowledge and important connections to Melbourne's west that need to be made," she said.
This project was funded through a federal government Your Community Grant and features in the new Research Highlights publication.

How to Get Rid of Obnoxious Update Alerts on Your Mac

They invariably pop up at the least opportune moment, when you're trying to wrap up some important work email or, worse yet, mid-Netflix binge. They're software update notifications -- those unwelcome, near-daily interruptions reminding you that some piece of random software -- or the OS itself -- has an available update to install. Ain't nobody got time for that right now, I'll do it later you think to yourself, and immediately dismiss it by tapping "Remind me tomorrow." Thus begins an irritating daily routine until you eventually give in and install it.
Well, my friends, I come bearing great news -- you can easily disable those pesky little windows for good! Here's how.
The Easiest Way to Remember All Your Damn Passwords
Screenshot via Mac OS X
First, go to System Preferences (either via the Apple icon on the navigation bar along the top of the screen or the cog wheel in the application dock). Find the "App Store" icon and click it.
Now, uncheck the box that says "Automatically check for updates." This does exactly what it sounds like: liberates you from the barrage of pop-up notifications we all hate. Freedom! (By the way, if you're also being plagued with constant "Not Enough Storage" alerts on your iPhone, there's a fix for that, too.)
Here's the caveat: ditching regular software update install reminders is one thing, but not updating your Mac software is bad. So, if you're going to forego the reminders altogether, you'll want to periodically check in and see what needs an update every month or two. This is easy -- simply go back to the App Store and it'll show you a comprehensive rundown of every available update, and give you the option to download them right then and there.
Sign up here for our daily Thrillist email, and get your fix of the best in food/drink/fun.
Joe McGauley is a senior writer for Thrillist and would appreciate if software updates could just, like, be a little more self-sufficient, you know?

Groundbreaking global commitments were made less than two years ago to end business as usual, with the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Accord. Now is the time to come to grips with the reality that we face, beyond the toothless promises, the grand statements, the misleading stories.
This is true of greenhouse gas emissions in particular and ecological resource management in general. Just this month, Global Footprint Network, our international research organization, launched an open data platform that details the Ecological Footprints of more than 200 countries and regions. A country's Ecological Footprint aggregates all the productive areas needed for food, timber, fiber; built-up space for infrastructure like cities, roads and housing; and forests to absorb excess carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels. A country's Ecological Footprint can be compared to its own productive areas.
Based primarily on United Nations data sets, our Footprint data show that humanity currently consumes 70 percent more in a given year than the Earth is able to replenish over the same period. Our global Ecological Footprint is that of 1.7 Earths. Carbon emissions make up 60 percent of it.
If everyone around the world lived like the average American, we would need five Earths to sustain the global population, according to the data. Our 2015 study of the Ecological Footprint of the 50 states found it would take eight Californias to support California residents' Ecological Footprint.
But there is good news, too: The total Ecological Footprint of the United States declined 14 percent from a peak in 2005 to 2013 (the latest year U.N. data is available), while the overall economy grew. This is the largest Ecological Footprint reduction for any country over the same period – in fact, it is equivalent to the entire Ecological Footprint of Germany.
What is driving this footprint reduction? The carbon footprint of the United States declined 20 percent from 2005 to 2013. In California, that number is likely even greater, given that almost 25 percent of the state's electricity came from renewable sources in 2014, according to state Energy Commission estimates. Overall carbon emissions in California are poised to continue declining through renewable energy use and other policies, such as the stricter tailpipe emission regulations recently reaffirmed by the California Air Resources Board, in stark contrast to hints that President Donald Trump will weaken fuel standards.
Later this summer, Trump is set to unveil a $1 billion infrastructure plan to create jobs. This represents an opportunity to build a green future or deepen our reliance on fossil fuels.
We applaud Brown for vowing to make California a world leader in addressing climate change. After all, the choice is clear: sticking with laggards stuck in the 20th century or stepping up to what is technologically possible and economically superior to build a fossil fuel-free, robust future, where humanity thrives within the ecological budget of our one planet. Trust data to point the way.

Our beard wax is a firm sculpting wax formulated to hold your moustache and beard hairs in place. While beeswax is used to firmly hold your beard and moustache in place, it also works with the shea butter to properly soothe and condition for ultimate simultaneous hair and skin repair.
The essential oils in our formula provide additional moisture while also exuding pine and citrus scents that will magnetize any female within 50 yards of you.
The wax will do an amazing job taming and controlling your facial hair. While the consistency is much thicker and heavier, the effort to smooth this product into your mane is well worth the work.
How to use: Use the back of your thumbnail and scoop a pea size amount onto your fingertips.Remember, a little goes a long way. Rub firmly between your fingertips until the wax is softened and warm. Massage into your moustache and style as desired.
Once you are satisfied with the hold on the moustache, use the remainder of the wax to tighten up the beard. First along the sides to calm the wilder hairs, and then in a light pulling motion in the middle and underneath the chin to add additional length.

Lexington's small business owners in a bind; promised loan money isn't arriving
By: Michael Berk
LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) — Business at Bourbon Creek inside Fayette Mall was brisk. The owners of the "mom and pop" shop took a gamble last fall, and it was paying off. Then COVID-19 made its way across the oceans, and everything changed.
"From everyone I've talked to, we are in dire situations here," Mark Thomas said of his business, and those of his fellow small business owners.
Recognize the name? That would be Detective Mark Thomas of the Lexington Police Department, and LEX 18's Crime Stoppers franchise. For many years he and his wife have been sanding, sawing, hammering and staining their merchandise in the garage of their Lexington home. The business, which previously operated only during the holiday shopping season, was so robust that they were invited to give it a try on a full-time basis, which they did in October. Now, through no fault of their own, they could be facing some difficult decisions.
Thomas said the couple has been using money they've saved "for situations just like this," but acknowledged that model can't last for very long. He's also very disappointed that the loan money offered by the federal government hasn't reached those who need it most.
"Even though we applied first, we were pushed to the back," he said of the exasperating process of securing this loan money. "Then we were denied this money because they said they didn't get clear guidelines. Not only that, but big businesses came in and swooped it all up. It's sickening, because there's people out there like us who truly need that money but can't get it."
Thomas said there are millionaires running multi-million dollar businesses, some of which are based in Lexington, who had help securing the loan money before others could get their share.
"I'm not saying they didn't follow the letter of the law, because they did," he said. "But unfortunately, whoever drafted this deal completely missed their mark for people like us."
Perhaps a portion of this new $484 billion stimulus package signed on Friday by President Trump will reach Thomas, and others most in need. It had better, or most of them will forced to make the toughest of all business decisions.
"Those businesses will absolutely be closing, and won't be re-opening," he said.
For the detective and his wife, that would be a crime.

Good To-Go Pad Thai & Vegetable Korma
Plan / Bikepacking Food
Carrying good food on a bikepacking trip can both nourish the belly and soothe the soul. These two new savory meals from Maine's Good To-Go — Pad Thai and Indian Vegetable Korma — offer flavors of southeast Asia in a hearty package…
compose Logan Watts
time Aug 11, 2016
Good To-Go was launched in 2014 when four-star NYC restaurant pioneer, Iron Chef winner, and adventurer Jen Scism decided to package the dehydrated creations she'd been taking on her own backcountry expeditions. As you can find in our initial review, they launched with four gourmet meals including the award winning Thai Curry, a favorite among many intrepid bikepackers. Two years later Good To-Go has expanded their menu to include two more Asian inspired feasts — Pad Thai and Indian Vegetable Korma. We had a chance to try these two new meals during a stout bikepacking trip through Pisgah National Forest; here are our impressions…
Good To-Go Pad Thai
The first time I had really good Pad Thai was in a crusty back alley somewhere in Bangkok. It set me back about 25 cents and was mind blowing. With rice noodles as its backbone, Pad Thai relies on peanut and egg to make a heart-warming meal. Yet when prepared fresh, hints of fresh lime, the crunch of bean sprouts, and the tang of fish sauce give it an incredible complexity. This quintessential street dish of Thailand melds sweet, salty, sour and spicy.
Even as a dehydrated bikepacking meal, Good To-Go seems to have captured most of these elements that make it a special treat. In addition to thin rice noodles, Good To-Go has employed finely shredded 'matchstick' carrots as a secondary base. This definitely gives the dish a meaty and somewhat crunchy bite. Overall their take on pad thai is flavorful, a bit spicy, and tangy, thanks to the addition of tamarind, thai chili, cilantro, and lime juice powder. While most of Good To-Go's initial 4 meals were vegetarian, Pad Thai contains eggs, anchovy, and "Wild American Shrimp" in the ingredient list.
Ingredients: Rice Noodles (Rice Flour, Water), Carrots, Whole Pasteurized Eggs, Onion, Bean Sprouts, Brown Sugar, Textured Vegetable Protein (Defatted Soy Flour), Dry Roasted Peanuts, Grapeseed Oil, Fish Salt (Anchovy, Sea Salt), Rice Flour, Garlic, Tamarind Powder (Tamarind), Dried Ground Shrimp (Shrimp, Salt), Dried Scallions, Dried Cilantro, Lime Juice Powder (Maltodextrin, Lime Juice, Lime Oil), Turmeric, Dried Thai Chiles
Price (for 2 serving pack): $11.50
Weight: 7.5oz (218g)
Protein (total): 32g
Calories (total): 860
Contact: goodto-go.com
Obviously it's not fresh, so Good To-Go Pad Thai is missing a little something that can be found in the dish when made fresh from scratch. But given the fact it's an easy to prep dehydrated meal, this version of Pad Thai is very good.
Good To-Go Indian Vegetable Korma
Korma has its roots in the cuisine of modern-day India and Pakistan, and can be traced back to the 16th century Moghul incursions into the region. Classically, a korma is defined as a dish where meat or vegetables are braised with water, stock, and yogurt or cream added. Essentially the modern Indian version is a mild spiced, creamy curry that is typically made with yogurt and tomatoes, often thickened with nuts or seeds. For this dish, Good To-Go created an Indian Curry paste using whole toasted and ground spices, walnuts and coconut. The medley of vegetables — carrot, parsnip, green bean, chick peas, onion, and sweet Peas — are cooked in the paste and then dehydrated. When prepared in the bag with boiling water, the Korma it creates an aromatic, hearty and mildly spicy dish.
Ingredients: Carrot, Parsnip, Green Bean, Chick Peas*, Onion, Sweet Peas, Tomato Flakes*, Canned Tomato Paste (Vine Ripened Tomatoes), Unsulfured & Unsweetened Shredded Coconut, Yogurt Powder Blend (Cultured Whey, Nonfat Milk Solids & Yogurt Cultures), Grapeseed Oil, Ginger, Walnuts, Garlic, Kosher Salt, Poppy Seed, Coriander, Fennel, Cumin, Cardamom, Turmeric, Cinnamon, Clove, Dried Chilies *Dehydrated


Banksy style street art recently appeared in Malvern, to brighten up a tired bus stop at Rose Bank but now the mystery of who created the Banksy-style Edward Elgar street art has been solved and their already popular work looks set to stay.
Lee Morris and Tom Brown originally intended their four images of the classical composer on the Wells Road bus shelter beneath the Rosebank Gardens in the Centre of Great Malvern to be a one-off anonymous gift to the town. But after a flurry of warm and welcoming feedback following the appearance of their mysterious artwork in the early hours of Sunday, the creative pair, both 34, have revealed their identities.
A spokesman for the town council confirmed the work was not commissioned but "in view of the positive response to this artwork" they might consider using some of the pair's work at other sites in the town.
Malvern Town Council is considering adopting the artwork and the council has been urged by a number of Malvern residents to allow it to remain. More than 100 hours of work went into producing the images which find Sir Edward nonchalantly standing next to the phone box holding a green smartphone in his hands along with three canvases depicting him waiting for a bus in bright and bold colours.
Mr Morris describes the public's reaction as "surreal" and now intends to sell the original artworks and put the money into the town's art community, while welcoming suggestions for future work.
For more information about the pair's work, go to weloveart.co.uk.
From my own point of view, the street art really lifts the bus stop and it was begging to be given some Fuji Photographic love. So I hope you like my images of the bus stop and its street art!
I love this and commend the town council on embracing this art. How wonderful is that?!
I know, pretty impressive from the Council and it has really made it such a interesting stop!
Very pleased that you guys like the photos. Art begets art! Thank you for brightening up a part of Malvern.


Your bedroom is your escape. A hidden oasis away from the over-medicated, under-educated selfie world. As such, there are several things that should never, ever enter this most sacred of sanctuaries.
One thing that does belong in a bedroom are gorgeous linens. But it shouldn't take you twenty-five minutes to navigate getting into bed, so five pillows is enough. If you have a king-sized bed and feel you need more, you DON'T, and take that thing back to America. They should always be filled with real down. Laying your head on a polyester-filled flotation device is a tragedy.
I spied these gorgeous pillows and ruffled linens at D. Porthault. Chocolate and violet is such a beautiful color combination in the bedroom. It's like wrapping you and your mystery lover up in red velvet hot cocoa. One thing you shouldn't do is dress the bed too perfectly because that makes your date nervous and he'll wonder where you stashed the dead body. It should feel a bit disheveled, like you actually slept in it, then leisurely threw back the covers to step out on the balcony and smoke a Gitanes. Of course, those flowers are staged. And Manon doesn't own twelve pairs of point shoes, but they complete the scene. Lovely, non?
Can we please stop the pillow insanity?

CAS News
From Project REACH to Dream Keepers: expanding access to a college education
Written by Tory Lowe, special intern for CAS communications
Since 2007, Project REACH (Reaching Every Aspiration for College with Hope) has worked to expand college readiness among underserved student populations within Cincinnati-area high schools.
Under the guidance of co-founder and director Gwendolyn Etter-Lewis, the program has paired Miami University students with local high schoolers as mentors, thus creating a personal connection to help students gain access to, and prepare for, higher education.
Etter-Lewis is a professor in both the Departments of English and Global and Intercultural Studies. Her teaching expertise includes linguistics, black feminism, African literature, and service learning.
Now, a grant that she authored, along with Associate Professor of Educational Leadership Denise Taliaferro-Baszile and Assistant Professor of Family Studies and Social Work Anthony James, has allowed the program to expand to other Cincinnati-area schools under the new name of Dream Keepers.
"Project REACH grew out of a black feminist theory class that I taught in spring of 2007," Etter-Lewis said. "We were looking at African American foremothers and how these historical figures always found a way to give back to the community, so the class decided to do a project that would do that as well."
Initially, Project REACH focused on underserved populations of female high school students within the Cincinnati area. "These students had the grade point average to go to college," said Etter-Lewis, "but they didn't really know how to prepare for college, or even if they could go."
Fortunately, many girls stayed in the program until they graduated from high school and then went on to further their education.
Project REACH later expanded to include male high school students, and shortly thereafter was held on-site at Cincinnati high schools. It also encompasses a Miami-based student service organization, which allows students to become involved in on-campus support roles as well as mentors. In 2015 the program was nominated for the Cincinnati Collaboration of the Year Award.
Transitioning into Dream Keepers
That same year, Etter-Lewis partnered with co-investigators Taliaferro-Baszile and James from Miami's College of Education, Health & Society for a new $150,000 grant awarded through the university's Interdisciplinarity and Innovation Fund.
Etter-Lewis credits Chasity Dittmann, an academic coordinator at Miami's Rinella Learning Center and a REACH instructor, for suggesting that the three faculty members collaborate on the project. Now renamed Dream Keepers, the program is expected to expand its reach to additional schools within the Cincinnati area.
"Dream Keepers is particularly interested in creating a pool of students that can be admitted to Miami and become a part of the Miami community," Etter-Lewis said. "A lot of our activities are geared toward helping students perceive Miami as a place where they can feel welcome and do well."
To this end, Dream Keepers has begun to involve Miami faculty in on-site school activities. Faculty visits have addressed such topics as healthy relationships, college success strategies, and the #BlackLivesMatter movement. "We want the program to be relevant to students," Etter-Lewis explained.
For many Miami students, the program has been transformative.
"Students fall in love with this kind of work," said Etter-Lewis. "They develop a love and commitment for working in the community, whether it's in Oxford, in Cincinnati, or in their own community."
Several students, she added, have gone on to create parallel programs in their hometowns after graduating from Miami, thus highlighting the transferability of this program.
"Our goal is to develop a model of university-community partnership that focuses on college readiness," said Etter-Lewis. "Our program can be facilitated in any kind of school setting."

Our Orcadian adventure now captured, partially at least, in a travel video. Just a bit of fun using a mixture of a Canon 200D and our very basic Go Pro. It's a long way from the (Nottingham) shire to the edge of Scotland and then on to the Orkney Islands but don't worry, its not just 12 hours of us driving each other mad.
I actually quite like this video though, a lot more fun editing this one together. I didn't quite do the whole storyboard thing I said i was going to do last time although some of the planned shots didn't quite work but some really did well, especially the car going over the camera and then away from the camera. In fact I might just do more of these, blogs are dying, kids these days can't be bothered to read more than a few words so video looks to be the way forward.
I'm not expecting to fly up the ranks of YouTube just yet but with a whole 5 subscribers… I should start monetising, reaching out to brands, directing Bond movies, show my bum in a bikini as a preview thumbnail….
Great video! I was a bit worried when you rolled yourself into the cave, but good to see you got out in one piece!

Adam Levine Stars in New PSA About His ADHD Struggle: "When I Can't Pay Attention, I Really Can't"
By Esther Lee
Adam Levine discusses his struggle with adult ADHD and new "Own It" campaign exclusively with Us Weekly.
Adam Levine is owning his ADHD. The Maroon 5 frontman, who stars in a new PSA with the "Own It" campaign, opens up to Us Weekly exclusively about his adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
PHOTOS: Celebrity health scares
"I like to always make sure that whatever I'm promoting or talking about or discussing at length, is something that I have personal, hands on experience with," Levine tells Us. "And this is no different than anything else. This is an issue that's very near and dear to my heart," the hunky crooner continues.
"When I can't pay attention, I really can't," says Adam Levine about his ADHD struggle. He stars in a new PSA debuting Feb. 24.
PHOTOS: See Adam's first Grammys appearance
The Voice Mentor, 34, whose branded empire includes fragrance and fashion lines, also has multiple endorsement deals with companies like First Act and Proactiv. Staying true to his "hands-on experience" approach, Levine has also vocalized his struggle with acne as a spokesperson for the skincare company.
PHOTOS: Adam and other celebs who love models
In the PSA previewed by Us, a softer, more vulnerable side of Behati Prinsloo's fiance emerges: "When I was first diagnosed with ADHD, it wasn't a surprise because I had difficulty in high school focusing," the L.A. native admits. "And I think now, people notice my ADHD as an adult on a daily basis. When I can't pay attention, I really can't pay attention."

Levine tells Us he wants to use his celebrity status to help other adults who unknowingly struggle with the condition: "If somebody approached me and said that anything that I said, helped them figure it out — or someone came to me and said I need help what do you suggest I do – the first thing I would suggest they do is see somebody," he says. "See a doctor about it."

Will Dalton from Queenstown, Maryland is a professional lacrosse transition player for the San Jose Stealth of the National Lacrosse League. Before college, Dalton was a member of the 2004 All-Tewaaraton Team for the Baltimore/Washington area. The newspapers, Baltimore Sun and Washington Post named him first team all-Metro. He was the 2004 Baltimore Sun Anne Arundel County Player of the Year, making him the third straight St. Mary's player to win the honor. The Baltimore Sun also picked Dalton for first team all-county. In high school, Dalton won 71 percent of face-offs as a senior. He scored 22 goals and added seven assists despite being double and triple-teamed almost every time he touched the ball.  Dalton was also all-county and all-metro as a junior and scored 24 goals and added 10 assists while winning 72 percent of his face-offs in 2003.

(Orthodoxy in the Philippines)
'''Orthodoxy in the Philippines'''
After fighting a bloody revolution against Spain, the Philippines then fought another war for its independence against the United States. However the Philippines was annexed by the United States in 1898 and remained a colony until 1946. Religious tolerence was then instituted and the Spanish Inquisition was abolished in 1898. The new American governor-generals then encouraged the spread of the Episcopal Church through government donations of land.
Orthodoxy arrived in the Philippines due to the influx of Russian emigrees fleeing the Soviet regime during the American colonial regime. In 1935, a large Russian parish was established in Manila and the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia appointed Father Mikhail Yerokhin as vicar. The Episcopal Church then permitted Fr. Mikhail to use the north transept of their cathedral for worship. In 1937, the first Orthodox cathedral was built and was named after the Iberian Icon of the Mother of God. This also became the first Orthodox altar in the Philippines. Later, both the Episcopal and Russian Orthodox cathedrals were destoryed during the Second World War.
In 1949, 5,500 Russian Orthodox from China, including then Archbishop John Maximovitch, was relocated to Tubabao in south-central Philippines by the International Refugee Organization and with the permission of the newly independent Republic of the Philippines. Archbishop John Maximovitch then established a wooden church, orphanage, and other buildings in Tubabao for the refugees. Until the present time, older Filipinos still remember the "Holy Man".

Archbishop John Maximovitch then established a wooden church, orphanage, and other buildings in Tubabao for the refugees. Until the present time, older Filipinos still remember the "Holy Man" and he is still revered by non-Orthodox in south-central Philippines.
Tubabao, however, was (and still is) an underdeveloped island which is humid, prone to typhoons, and at times inaccessible due to the ocean conditions. Through the persistent lobbying of Archbishop John Maximovitch to the US Congress, the refugees were allowed to settle in the United States and Australia.
Tubabao, however, was (and still is) an underdeveloped island which is humid, prone to typhoons, and at times inaccessible due to the ocean conditions. When a Russian commented on their fear that a typhoon would destory their camp to local Filipinos, they replied that there was nothing to worry about because "your holy man blesses your camp from four directions every night." There were no typhoons or floods while Archbishop John Maximovitch was there.
In 1997, Greek expatriate businessmen in the Philippines opened a Greek parish under the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Manila. A female monastery was also established. The total population of Greek Orthodox Christians in the Philippines is estimated to be around 200-600 headed by a Greek vicar.
Through the persistent lobbying of Archbishop John Maximovitch to the US Congress, the refugees were allowed to settle in the United States and Australia beginning in 1951.
In 2006, preliminary steps were discussed to establish an Antiochian presence in the Philippines. Plans have not yet been announced.
In 1997, Greek expatriate businessmen in the Philippines opened a Greek parish under the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Manila.
In 2007, very preliminary discussions were also being held to re-establish the Russian Orthodox Church in the Philippines. Plans are still being formulated.
In 2007, very preliminary discussions are being held to re-establish a Russian Orthodox Church presence in the Philippines with several planned parishes for Filipinos and for other Orthodox Christians needing pastoral care.
Revision as of 16:36, May 4, 2007
Christianity was first introduced to the Philippines in the 16th century by Spain when the Philippines became a colony. Until the Philippine Revolution of 1896, it was illegal for any non-Roman Catholic Church to establish in the Philippines and punishable by death for Filipinos to convert from the Roman Catholic Church. The Archbishop of Manila served as both representative of the Spanish Inquisition and, during the absence of the Governor-General, the Spanish Crown.
The first recorded Orthodox Christians came during the 18th and 19th century due to trade and were mostly Antiochians who later married Filipino women and was forced to convert to Roman Catholicism due to the Inquisition.

PAX Aus 2019 Highlight – Swinburne University
Swinburne University is renowned for its industry-leading courses covering business, science, and law, but Andrew Trevillian wants to also put Swinburne on the map for their game development courses.
I interviewed Andrew, who is the Course Director for the game development classes about what sets Swinburne apart from other institutions.
I want to first note that during my talk with Andrew it was clearly evident that he has a real passion for not only the courses, but also for the welfare and future prospects of his students.
Swinburne's PAX booth displayed a vast array of video games, all sitting within different genres, and all of which were 100% student-developed from start to finish.
Furthermore, each game on display was showcased by the students themselves as Andrew believes "it is necessary to provide students with genuine real-world experiences, including showcasing and discussing their titles"
For students, this is a profound and amazing way to get real-world experience, but Andrew also noted that "their time spent at PAX is also a part of their assessment and does affect their final score".
Andrew loves to see his students advance and grow upon graduating and even has his own "3-year personal warranty" where students are welcome to keep in touch with him if they ever have any questions or need advice.
Students can specialise in a range of topics including programming, art direction, and project management.
Swinburne shares a unique relationship with Melbourne Polytechnic where game development students can collaborate with students from the music course to assist with providing music for their video game titles.
It was refreshing to see someone so dedicated to the art of game development and to hear just how much passion Andrew has for his students and their long term goals, with Andrew noting he personally "loves to bump into his former students who are now showcasing their own studios and titles after graduating"
If you are interested in a career within gaming, you can visit Swinburne's site here to find out more about the courses that they offer.

This blog shows some pictures of my fathers photographes. I made a book of his pictures. The book will cost about 40 euro and contain 75 pages.
I have always had the feeling that our father experienced life through the eye of the camera. If he hadn't his camera on him, he seemed to watch the world through a fictional lens, formed by his thumb and forefinger. He was sparing with film and would take just one photograph. Incredibly patient while waiting to catch the right exposure, he made excursions enervating for us when he stopped for the umpteenth time to wait for a cloud to move. He got five daughters (photo cover) and treated the family often to slide shows: pictures he made on his many travels, especially of nature and landscapes. Most of his black and white photographs we got to know only after his death. As far as those pictures had been organized, they were classified according to the countries where they were taken. The pictures in this book were taken primarily in the Netherlands, Yugoslavia, London, Paris and Italy somewhere between 1950 and 1960. I think Richard's pictures of people are so intriguing because often they tell a story. For example, the couple reading a letter. It makes you fantasize about who was the writer of the letter, what was in the letter, what is the relationship between the reader and the writer. But also the open, sweet and unsophisicated look of the people in his pictures.
Richard Stern was born in Charlottenburg, part of Berlin, in 1910. He attended grammar school and there he developed a great sense for language as well as a gift for visual obeservation, which showed in his talent for drawing. While growing up in the Weimar-republic era he became poltitically aware and active as a studentleader. He received his first camera at a young age , a Voigtlӓnder and by and by he exchanged his drawing for photography. Later he replaced this camera with a Leica. He fled to The Netherlands in 1933, where he survived the war, mainly by being maried to his non jewish wife.
His parents fate was dramatic . They died at Bergen Belsen. Their children had more luck: Richard's sisters and brothers survived the war. During the war he hid the Leica well; it could cause him plenty of trouble. When he lost his Leica on one of his trips, he switched to Nikon-cameras and used them ever since. When the war was over, he had a troublesome start, being a stateless inhabitant of the Netherlands with a German background. Besides, he eventually had five children for whom he had to provide. This is why his photography existed besides his firm in leathergoods which he had started before the war in a Holland that was not yet occupied.
Richard didn't do the developing and printing himself. His photos were shown worldwide at exhibitions and he won numerous prizes. His pictures were published in magazines; he produced postcards and a calendar on the Rocky-mountains.
It is a pity he couldn't be at the opening of his exhibition on Judaica in Berlin. He died just before this took place in 1994. His legacy, the archives with pictures, his autobiography, publications, old cameras and war documents, has found a place partly at the Jewish Museum of Berlin, and partly at the Exile Archive in Frankfurt.


Magic Carpet is a yearly event focusing on Vintage Motorcycles, held in Copenhagen, Denmark.
It's put on by Motorious along with local garages, social clubs, bars and music venues.
° There's free unmanned parking for bikes 24/7 at Motorious all year round.
There was no Magic Carpet in 2018. We had to move the shop from the old "Enghavevej 10" location to our current location in the meatpacking district, so we had to cancel that year.
We might be looking for sponsors if the fit is right. Please get in touch if you'd like to contribute somehow.


You've heard it. You've probably said it. But the all-too-frequent lament by nurses can be avoided!
Yes, given the nature of your work, you're especially vulnerable to the "occupational hazard" of lower back pain. Even seasoned nurses can get in a hurry and fail to safeguard their backs when moving a patient. So follow the simple guidelines below, put together by renowned physical therapy expert Vinod Somareddy, DPT.
Bend your knees, and keep your back straight when lifting and moving patients. Bending your knees puts the workload on the stronger muscles in the legs and eliminates some of the pressure on the weaker muscles of the back.
Take time to prepare, estimate and determine the effort needed to move someone.
Speak to the patient first to get her to work with you, so the patient is assisting rather than giving you more work. When moving the patient up in bed, for example, ask your patient to bend their knees and dig their heels in to assist with the move if they are able to do so. Be sure to convey exactly what you are going to do and what you expect out of them and allow them plenty of time to move in small movements if they have to.
Never let your center of gravity fall forward or to one side.
Avoid locking your knees; keep your knees flexed a bit to prepare against a fall.
Make use of siding boards, chair rails and other devices to assist you. Drawsheets under the patient are also great resources for moving patient side-to-side and up in bed.
If it's too difficult to transfer a patient, never be afraid to ask for help from coworkers! It is safer for you and the patient and you can return the favor next time they have a patient they need assistance with.
