Rosebank Health
Rosebank Health Good
Last updated 20 September 2018
Rosebank Health is a GP partnership offering services from one main site in Gloucester (Rosebank Surgery) and one branch site in Quedgeley (Severnvale Surgery). Patients can be seen at either surgery. On this inspection we did not visit the branch site.
The practice is managed by six GP partners, of whom four are male and two are female together with one Nurse Partner (female). They are supported by five female salaried GPs, three advanced nurse practitioners, eight practice nurses, five healthcare assistants and an administrative team led by the practice manager. Rosebank Health is a training practice providing placements for GP registrars and medical supervision for foundation doctors.
The practice is open 8am to 6.30pm Monday to Friday. Morning appointments are available between 8am and 12.30pm and afternoon appointments are available between 2pm and 6pm. Extended surgery hours are offered on weekdays between 7.30am and 8am as well as Saturday mornings and some weekday evenings. These alternate between Rosebank Health and their branch, Severnvale Surgery.
The practice phone lines are closed between 12.30pm and 2pm but the building and reception services remain open. During this time patients are asked to ring back or, if it is urgent, to continue to hold and the call would be put through to an appropriate clinician.
The practice provides services to approximately 24,000 patients. The practice population demographic shows there is a higher than average patient population aged between birth and nine and a higher than average female population aged between 25 and 34. The general Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) population profile for the geographic area of the practice is in the fifth most deprived decile. (An area itself is not deprived: it is the circumstances and lifestyles of the people living there that affect its deprivation score. Not everyone living in a deprived area is deprived and that not all deprived people live in deprived areas).
The practice delivers services from the following locations:
Rosebank Surgery,153B Stroud Road,Gloucester,Gloucestershire,GL1 5JQ.
Severnvale Surgery, St James, Quedgeley, Gloucester, GL2 4WD.
The practice is registered to provide the following regulated activities:
Treatment of disease, disorder and injury, surgical procedures, maternity and midwifery, family planning and diagnostic and screening procedures.
When the practice is closed patients are advised by answer phone message to contact the NHS 111 service for advice and guidance. Out of hours services are provided by Care UK.

Nuke Pro: Pimps for nuclear are still trying to get away with the "Banana analogy"
Pimps for nuclear are still trying to get away with the "Banana analogy"
This one is on "The Truth Wins" who is the author who broke the "28 Signs the West Coast is Absolutely Getting Fried With Radiation"
We know how that it's safer to eat a Tuna Steak from Fukushima than a banana when you're talking about contamination. This isn't comparable to the "scientists" of old believing mice spawned from straw, this is comparable to them noticing that mice physically existed.
More TRUTH ==You argue gibberish. Are you connected to the nuclear industry financially?
Your banana fallacy is disproven and is essentially junk science thought up by public relations monkeys.
Radioactive cesium is the issue, chimp.
PIMP: So you're saying you trust public relation junkies with vague information (and false assumptions) rather than a guy who actually measured contamination in Japan following Fukushima and is nuclear trained.
I don't argue jibberish. I use bananas because they sound ridiculous and they are something you don't freak out over. No one freaks out over a banana. So when I say that the levels are very banana-like, why would you freak out over them?
I hate the unit "becquerel." It's like trying to use a nanometer to measure a centimeter. It's rarely useful. You can say something has twenty terabecquerels of contamination, and it could actually do nothing at all, whereas something with something with ten kilobecquerels could very well be harmful.
People need to stop talking about becquerels without providing any additional information. Radiation emitted. Strength of those particles. Biological half-lives. Actual half-lives. Concentration. Method of dispersion. All of those things are important and critical to figuring out how harmful they are.
I challenge anyone to say more facts aren't useful on this matter.
PIMP" How is it false? Cesium -137 decays at 110% the power of Potassium-40. It has a biological half-life of 70 days to Potassium's 16 days.
So, if you eat the Tuna around Fukushima, currently contaminated at 15 becquerels/100kg (a single banana weighing .12kg has 15 becquerels), that means you can - if you do the math, eat more than 20 Tuna Steaks weighing 1kg each, and, - with the assumption that you don't expel any cesium until day 70 - you'll get as much of a dose as you would a singular banana.
I use bananas because they sound ridiculous - because it is. It's a perfectly valid argument.
Do the math again, and you'll find a banana is 166 times more radioactive than the Tuna around Fukushima if you do it by kilogram.
I find many of these doctors to be a bit nonsensical, as they seem to be implying that cesium stays in the body - it does not. You expel all cesium from your body within 70 days.
I still have yet see anyone providing any information stating the falseness of the banana analogy, whereas I've provided the math.
TRUTH" LOL because the body self regulates level of potassium, and ALL potassium in the world has same level of radioactivity. So there is zero net change. Your statement of "all cesium is expelled in 70 days" is laughably false. The biological half life of cesium is 70 or 90 days. AND if you continue to intake rad cesium, then your level does not fall off with time.
Whether you know it or not, you are a pimp for radiation death. Stop that!
PIMP: Your own potassium irradiates you more than anything you'll eat from Fukushima. (More importantly, unless you live in Japan, my body will irradiate me more than anything I'll cumulatively eat that's been contamination by Fukushima. I still eat sushi, and my dose readings are still fine.) Your body doesn't instantly reject extra potassium, and it constantly needs more.
All, "continue to intake Cs-137" is the key phrase. It doesn't stick around that long.
TRUTH: Potassium is spread evenly throughout the cells....it has been in us for millions of years. Some ability to repair single strand breaks at the cellular level has been gained, works pretty good. Because of the even spread, particular cells/DNA DO NOT get multiple attacks as when you have a PARTICLE of cesium bound into your muscle or heart, like an MMA fighter delivering multiple blows to the same tissue.
You are a pimp for death that ought to know better, there is a special place in hell waiting for you.
Oh, the guys at work are going to love this.
I've done the internal dose surveys, I've done them on myself, calibrated the equipment, and I was exposed to the plumes. I work on the USS George Washington, which was exposed to the plumes, and I know guys from the Reagan who did likewise. Despite my being military, I actually won't benefit from the nuclear industries financial dealings whatsoever. All you guys have done is improperly cite sources and make assumptions. Enough said.
You want something better than bananas? How about how much you irradiate yourself due to K-40? 390 microSieverts a year, versus the 40 microSieverts the people of Tokyo got from Fukushima?
Dude, potassium is bananas. And your units are off, internal exposure due to K is 40 microSv per year. The amount that people received in Japan cannot possibly be assume by any TEPCO or Gov reported "data" as they lie through their freaken teeth.
Humans are "used to" potassium, we evolved with it. It is evenly spread out in our cells and there are repair mechanisms. Not so with cesium, strontium and other crap that was "gifted" to the people of Japan.
Japan Gov was fine with kids getting a 50000 microseivert dose per year.
40 millirem annually - not 40 microsieverts. Your units are wrong. 40 millirem is 400 microsieverts, ~390 of which, or 39 millirem, is due to K-40.
Being in Tokyo, I received only a fraction more radiation from Fukushima compared to what I was getting from cosmic/solar radiation.
Humans are "used to potassium..." So you're saying you can get used to betas and gammas is like saying you can get used to stab-wounds.
Yes, the human body can recover from radiation, but it's not just potassium-caused radiation we can recover from.
Cesium and strontium radiation is also spread throughout the body, whereas potassium is a bit more centralized, meaning it more "focuses," the internal dose. Still, at least in the Tokyo area, internal dose was not a concern.
My data, as far as the internal dose in the Tokyo area, wasn't collected by TEPCO. It was collected by me; I was actually one of the guys helping to provide the US Government with their data, so I know when they are lying or not. Having access to various radiacs and giant boxes that measure your internal dose is quite wonderful.
Sorry for the insanely late reply. I only just now saw that request because I just remembered my great new nickname from you guys.
David David, that site is a pimp job for radiation! total effort to minimize!
The human body cannot be modeled as a bag of water with energy being deposited, which is the ICRP model.

In this Demonstration you can see the current in a ferromagnetic core with an air gap wrapped by a wire. The example calculates the reluctance, total flux, and mean path length in a three-dimensional representation. The magnetic circuit is created in a similar form to what would be needed by an electric motor. You can adjust the number of wire wraps and geometry of the system to see the affects on the reluctance and magnetic flux.
This work follows examples given in Stephen Chapman, Electric Machinery Fundamentals, 4th ed., New York: McGraw–Hill, 2005.

Ex-CIA head: Trump has done 'remarkable flip' on Syria
By Mark Hensch - 04/10/17 09:48 AM EDT
Fmr. CIA Dir. @GenMhayden says Syria strike is "about as far away from an 'America first' philosophy as you can get" https://t.co/I8zaT5frIX
— New Day (@NewDay) April 10, 2017
Former CIA Director Michael Hayden said President Trump's missile strike in Syria is a radical departure from his "America first" foreign policy.
"What's really remarkable is that [it's] about as far away from 'America first' as you can get," he said Monday on CNN's "New Day."
"That's America doing something unilaterally for what I call the good of the order, rather than a narrowly defined American self-interest. It was a remarkable flip from the man we saw in the campaign."
Trump authorized the missile strikes last week after a deadly gas attack that the U.S. says was carried out by forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad.
U.S. warships fired 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles at Shayrat Air Base near the Syrian city of Homs late Thursday, which was the reported origin of the chemical strike two days before.
Trump repeatedly warned against U.S. military intervention in Syria before entering office.
"President Obama, do not attack Syria," he tweeted during one instance in 2013. "There is no upside and tremendous downside. Save your 'powder' for another (and more important) day!"
Trump said last week he was moved to take action in Syria following reports the deadly gas attack there killed dozens of civilians, including children.
"Assad choked out the lives of helpless men, women and children," he said April 7 at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Fla. "No child of God should ever suffer such horror."

Angstron Materials rolled out several new graphene products. The products (which will actually become available over the next few months) include a line of graphene-enhanced anode materials for lithium-ion batteries.
Angstron calls the Li-Ion battery materials "NANO GCA" and they say that this product line combines high capacity silicon materials with mechanically reinforcing, and electrically conductive graphene. This results in a high capacity anode capable of supporting hundreds of charge/discharge cycles.
The NANO-GCA line exhibits a specific capacity of up to 2000 mAh/g (traditional graphite anodes have a theoretical capacity of 372 mAh/g). This capacity of this material can also be tailored to the application by mixing with other conductive additives. Angstron says that these materials are backed by the first IP on graphene-enhanced anodes for Li-Ion batteries. This means that Angstron can produce these graphene enhanced anode materials without limitation.
In addition to those battery materials, Angstron will also release "several never-seen-before" graphene enhanced items. Sadly the company cannot provide more details at the moment. They only told us that the new product lines will include many off-the-shelf products that take advantage of graphene's electrical, thermal, mechanical, and optical properties.
Angstron reports that currently the company has a graphene production capacity of over 300 metric tons annually - and they're already working on further capacity expansion.
A few months ago we posted an interview with Angstron's marketing and business development chief, Ian Fuller. Ian was kind enough to discuss the company's business and technology. Read the interview here.

The landmark anthology 30 Australian Poets edited by Felicity Plunkett which included several migrant poets needs to be mentioned. University of Queensland Press has given us verses from the late Dimitris Tsaloumas, as well books by Lidija Cvetkovic, MTC Cronin, Peter Skrzynecki, Vlanes, Rosanna Licari, David Malouf and Ali Alizadeh. Overall however, the press seems historically dedicated to diversifying Caucasian Australian poetry, adjunctive to which is a select Aboriginal list.
Has race changed poetry irrevocably or has poetry's biopolitics forged the demarcations between 'them' and 'us'? Transnational communities have in the past year witnessed and responded insurgently to the Marjorie Perloff-Kenneth Goldsmith controversy as it escalated in the United States as well as to disparagement from conservative elements within the United Kingdom when British-Chinese poet, Sarah Howe won the prestigious TS Eliot Prize. Such social media-fuelled incidents link the struggle by marginal groups within the global capitalist economy. By focused interceptions, by digital communications which can be transmitted across borders, by alternative formations and solidarities, we can be assured that gatekeeping and racist constructions within Australian poetry, whether explicit, concealed, or enacted in complicity with establishment may be actively resisted, to unravel a dimension where, as extimate subjects, CALD poets might inhabit a more equal, embodied space within our national poetic imaginary.

Regular non-compliance by the Mines of the directives brought by the DWAF and the NNR with no enforcement regarding non-compliance.
The Wonderfonteinspruit Regulators Steering Committee's expressed intention "the mines will be approached to contribute financially towards the remedial work to be done as per the findings of the team of experts".
The call to the Minister of Minerals and Energy for the Constitution of the FWRDWA to be amended to deal with current and future circumstances in its area of responsibility and liability and to intervene in the dissolution of the FWRDWA (a legal instrument which was created to deal with dewatering and rewatering issues within the Far West Rand).
Request for access to the archival material of the FWRDWA, which is currently incomplete and poorly managed. The archival material of the FWRDWA will undoubtedly assist in the apportionment of responsibility and liability.
The posture in which the issuing of water use licenses is currently standing. This matter has been left in abeyance since 1998. The issuing of water licenses has become imperative in view of inequities in water allocation. The use of water by the gold mining industry is prioritized. Mining companies are visibly polluting ground and surface water with impunity while local communities go without.
The site locations of the priority hotspots. It is assumed that the hotspots correspond to the contaminated sites identified by the NNR's Screening Assessment, entitled Radiological Impacts of the Mining Activities to the Public in the Wonderfonteinspruit Catchment Area.
Immediately conduct a comprehensive investigation in order to determine the full extent of the radioactive contamination arising from mining operations over the WCA and provide a report to the NNR with respect to the findings of such an investigation.
Provide a plan of action for the immediate control of the area to prevent exposure to members of the public.
Review and update their environmental monitoring programme in light of the indications of radioactive contamination in the WCA.
Provide the NNR with a schedule for the review and update the Public Hazard Assessment of the mine, taking into account the leading exposure pathways as identified through the study.
Conduct a comprehensive investigation in order to determine the full extent of the radioactive contamination arising from mining operations and provide a report to the NNR.
Not all the holders submitted the required reports. Of the submitted reports, there is a clear indication that a comprehensive assessment need to be done as little additional information was provided.
Restrict access of the animals and the public or use of water for irrigation purposes to the identified sites, while further investigations were being carried out.
Widespread watering of cattle, irrigation of crops and use of water for recreation and spiritual rituals are continuing.
Review and update environmental monitoring plans in light of the indications of radioactive contamination in the WCA.
Provide a schedule to review and update the Public Hazard Assessment (PHA) of the mine, taking into account the leading pathways as identified through the study.
No schedule was provided for the review of the PHAs.

Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center Announces Sale Of All Remaining Land Owned By TRI
Home / Economic Development / Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center Announces Sale Of All Remaining Land Owned By TRI
In Economic Development, Land
15 Total Transactions in the Past Week Results in the TRI Selling All of its Remaining 74,000 Acres of Land January 19, 2018 (McCarran, NV) – Lance Gilman announced today that the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center (TRI) sold over 64,000 acres to a major software company from Southern California in addition to other deals with several other companies, involving another 10,000 acres. The land involved in these deals is all of the remaining land in TRI. The major portion of the sale (64,000 acres) went to Blockchains, LLC which took place as a series of eight massive transactions and 37 separate parcels of land, which all closed escrow simultaneously on January 18th. The actual total purchase price of all transactions together has not been disclosed yet, but it is nine figures in size, according to people close to the transactions. The size of the land involved in the Blockchains deals is approximately the same size as the entire City of Reno. To be clear, there is still plenty of land available for sale at TRI, but it's now from new developers and investors who are the new owners of the final parcels of land that were sold this week by TRI. As for the original developers and owners of TRI, they have now succeeded in selling all of the 104,000 acres of land originally purchased 17 years ago. Who is Blockchains, LLC and what will they do with all this land? Blockchains, LLC (www.blockchains.com) is a Southern California based software company that develops technology for the Ethereum Blockchain, which is a technology that allows transactional information and data to be distributed and reconciled in the most secure transactional system in the world. Blockchains, LLC is very well capitalized and consequently paid cash for their 64,000 acres of newly acquired land, and therefore no financing was necessary by the TRI. Lance Gilman states that; "The land purchased by Blockchains includes a variety of tech and commercial sites. And while they have not announced their specific plans for the land, I suspect that they will be building a large facility on one large site in Comstock Meadows along USA Parkway/Infinity Highway, very near the Google site, and adjacent to the Reno Land Tech park. They purchased all our remaining developable land which has superb facility site possibilities. Part of the land deal included all of the adjacent mountains and ridges, which essentially makes up the entire south half of TRI. They even purchased all of the freeway commercial property we had available at the Patrick exit (Exit 28) off I-80. This is a huge capital investment by this company and they're marking their territory which demonstrates a rock solid belief in the abilities of Storey County and the residents of northern Nevada." Other deals finalized at the same time In a deal which will close next week, a 2nd developer is buying all of the land around the reclaim water reservoir at TRI, and will develop that area into a retail town center, such as shops, stores, restaurants, and casinos. And in a related transaction, another developer purchased all the developable land (appx. 2,000 acres), at Painted Rock, just two miles from TRI east along I-80. The buyer is interested in developing a large residential community. TRI's 104,000 acres is now fully sold out in just 17 years TRI was founded by Don Roger Norman, his son Roger William Norman, and Lance Gilman. In 2001, they initially purchased approximately 104,000 acres of land in Storey and Lyon Counties (over 162 square miles), starting with no infrastructure and no outside capital. Today, TRI now boasts over $100 million in road and utility infrastructure, and over 150 companies in the park, including numerous Fortune Top 100 companies. Since the Tesla deal in 2014 which includes the building of the Tesla Gigafactory, and the Switch deal in 2015, TRI overnight becomes the hottest tech location in the world. It has been featured in Fortune Magazine, the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and many other leading business publications around the world, with yet another feature article coming out shortly in The Economist. Bloomberg called it the "New Silicon Valley" in a recent publication. What's this means for TRI and what is next? "TRI is not going anywhere," said Gilman. "We still have infrastructure commitments to fulfill, primarily water and sewer construction. And sales and development of land at TRI will only pick up pace even more, as developers who have purchased land previously from us are now developing their own sub-developments and parks within TRI. Everyone now wants to come here, so the investors and the developers here at TRI are going to do a brisk business for the coming decade. Almost all the developers now in the park are focused on marketing to tech companies, and building out the tech and R&D cluster that is blossoming at TRI." The TRI decision maker, Don Roger Norman, the national real estate magnate, who has also been the financial and construction muscle in the park has already been looking intently for a new project. "Roger will never retire, this is his life's work, it's in his soul to build and invest in platforms that create jobs and economic prosperity. He has been behind the scenes all these years, yet his dedication, his risk-taking, showed such financial and political courage, it's an honor to work with him. Roger is already calling me twice a day about potential new projects for us," Gilman said. "And I have a feeling it won't be very long before Roger and I are in the middle of a new adventure somewhere in Nevada."]]>

Growing tourism industry warned as hackers target visitor information
by ePLDT, Inc. | May 14, 2019
The local travel industry has grown more competitive in securing bookings with the continuous rise in the number of tourist arrivals in the country. Last year, the Department of Tourism posted a record-breaking 7.1 million international tourist arrivals, surpassing the 6.6 million arrivals in 2017 by 7.68 percent despite the six-month closure of Boracay. An influx of this magnitude and the amount of personal information it comes with call for industry players to strengthen cybersecurity measures even more.
The Philippines is an attractive destination not only for tourists but also for hackers. In fact, cybersecurity experts predict that the Philippines will be among this year's most targeted countries in the ASEAN region for malware designed to avoid detection and possible launch pad for other cyberattacks. ePLDT is thereby urging airlines, cruise lines, car rentals, hotels, and tour operators to be extra cautious when handling their customers' information.
"It's easy to get caught up in the overwhelming demand for travel services especially during peak seasons like summer but strengthening cybersecurity measures must always be a priority. Clients are entrusting confidential information. Hence, it is the service providers' responsibility to handle it well," said Angel Redoble, First Vice President and Chief Information Security Officer of ePLDT Group, PLDT Group, and Smart.
Cybercriminals infiltrate systems in various ways, one of which is by pretending to be customers and then luring salespersons into believing they have lost their reservation details. When the fake customers are asked to give personal information for checking, they propose to send it via email and do so with an attachment of data-stealing malware, which automatically downloads once clicked. The malware then breaks into payment systems where it collects loads of personal data such as credit card information.
Another thing to be wary of is a "rogue hotspot" or a wi-fi access point set up by an attacker that mimics a legitimate hotspot provided by the likes of airports, hotels, coffeeshops, etc. Victims that connect to such rogue hotspots usually have no idea about the dangers awaiting them because the attacks use familiar network names. An attacker can collect sensitive user details and credentials like account names, passwords, credit card details and the like just by eavesdropping on the network traffic. In some cases, attackers may push out malware to a victims' device or redirect victims to malicious sites or servers that will infect them with malwares.
Having the right cybersecurity solutions in place, coupled with sufficient user awareness campaigns, can curb such incidents. It is essential to invest on people, processes, learning and awareness and of course, technology. In the event there's an absence of these, working with a trusted partner like ePLDT can address this concern. ePLDT's class-on-its-own cybersecurity portfolio includes an end-to-end SOCaaS (Security Operations Center as a Service) offering, which companies can subscribe to for monitoring, alerting, incident analysis, response, and threat intelligence.
"With digital transformation comes a number of challenges in security compliance and data protection. ePLDT is extending its expertise to organizations to help them set up reliable and resilient systems that promote the safety of customer data, which is vital to business resilience," said Nerissa Ramos, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of ePLDT.
To get ahead of these cybercriminals, the best way is to implement cybersecurity measures and solutions that will predict and prevent attacks from infecting systems in the first place. By employing available technology, businesses will be able to ensure the security and privacy of data entrusted to them, inasmuch as they ensure the physical safety of their establishments. ePLDT's Managed Security Platforms, on the other hand, provide deep inspection capabilities and multi-level protection through technology partnerships combined with best practices and local security expertise.
"We are working hard to deliver effective, end-to-end cybersecurity services for businesses — regardless of their industry — so they can protect themselves against emerging cyberattacks," says SVP and Head of PLDT and Smart Enterprise Business Groups Jovy Hernandez.
Apart from Cyber Security services, ePLDT delivers best-in-class digital business solutions up to par with global standards which include Data Center services, Cloud, and Managed IT Services. To know more about ePLDT, visit www.epldt.com. Leave IT to us. Let IT Be ePLDT.

Here at TV Guide, sometimes we make lists just for the fun of it. If you Google "best 2000s movies to stream" and find this list, that's a bonus. We love when that happens. If you clicked this link and found a movie to watch, we provided a service. And we are in the service business.
This is a list of 25 great movies released between the years 2000 and 2009 that are available to stream on subscription services. It's not comprehensive, because a lot of movies are not available on these services. Which is very sad. If movies aren't easy to stream they basically don't exist anymore. I'm glad I was in high school when Netflix was a DVD service that had almost every movie made. (It still technically is, but it's not really.) If I hadn't seen movies like Donnie Darko and Amelie at a formative time I might not be doing this job today. Anyway, I'm wildly digressing. These are great movies from the end of the Clinton administration to the beginning of the Obama administration.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) - Netflix
Ang Lee's majestic martial arts classic is unforgettable, not only for its balletic fight scenes, but for its soulful performances by Chow Yun-Fat, Michelle Yeoh, and Zhang Ziyi.
Snatch (2000) - Netflix
Guy Ritchie has made a lot of bad movies since this one, but this clever crime comedy about a stolen diamond bouncing around the London underworld still owns. It introduced the world to Jason Statham and contains what might be Brad Pitt's single weirdest performance.
Pootie Tang (2001) - Starz
Chris Rock's trilogy of ridiculous early-00s comedies -- Pootie Tang, Down to Earth, and Head of State -- is severely underrated. Linguistically innovative blaxploitation satire Pootie Tang is the least underrated and also the best.
Wet Hot American Summer (2001) - Netflix
The number of quotable lines per minute in David Wain and Michael Showalter's deliriously silly summer camp comedy is extremely high, especially when you account for the fact that every line is basically a non-sequitur that you can use in just about any context. I'm gonna go hump the fridge.
Zoolander (2001) - Starz
Ben Stiller's fashion world satire is still packed to the merman gills with quotable lines and goofy setpieces.
City of God (2002) - Netflix
This sprawling Brazilian crime drama shows how all the pieces matter in a way unmatched by anything except The Wire, and it does it in just two hours.
The Rules of Attraction (2002) - Tubi
Roger Avary's cult classic college-set black comedy takes some of the most iconic teen idols of of the era (James Van der Beek, Jessica Biel) and puts them in outrageously depraved scenarios, courtesy of wicked novelist Bret Easton Ellis. And the sequence where Victor goes to Europe is maybe the single best movie scene of the decade (or at least the most transcendent scene in an otherwise imperfect -- though still great! -- movie).
28 Days Later (2003) - Starz
The most influential zombie movie since Night of the Living Dead, and one of the scariest movies of the decade. That Godspeed You Black Emperor! song still slaps.
Oldboy (2003) - Shudder
This brutal Korean revenge thriller has some of the most memorable moments of the decade: The hallway fight! The twist ending! The octopus! You may never eat sushi again!
Anchorman (2004) - HBO
One of the funniest movies ever made. Not up for debate. A million bros quoting it will never change the fact that every scene has something that will make you laugh like Brendan Fraser.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) - Netflix
Director Michel Gondry and screenwriter Charlie Kaufman's whimsical and sad exploration of love and memory is unforgettable. Gondry and Kaufman have never before or since, together or separately, so perfectly married visual and narrative experimentation with crowd-pleasing romance.
Mean Girls (2004) - HBO
Of all the great movies on this list, this is probably the one cited as "my favorite movie" by the largest number of people. Lindsay Lohan's career may not have held up, but Tina Fey's sharp script sure did.
Ray (2004) - Starz
The musician biopic -- along with "torture porn" horror and gimmicky romcom -- was the defining movie genre of the 2000s. This is the best of the lot, thanks to Jamie Foxx's electrifying, Oscar-winning performance.
The Descent (2005) - HBO
A fearless all-female cast + unusually well-drawn characters for this kind of thing + an incredible sense of claustrophobia established by setting, score, and pace + scary as hell creature design = one of the best horror movies of the decade. Natalie Mendoza's performance as secretive expedition leader Juno should have made her a big star.
Children of Men (2006) - Starz
Alfonso Cuaron's dystopian masterpiece about a near-future where everyone is sterile was prescient when it came out and is basically a documentary now. And its influence on cinematography cannot be understated. Every long, unbroken action shot since that burning car rolled down the hill in front of Clive Owen's path owes a debt to Children of Men.
The Departed (2006) - Netflix
America's greatest living director has made approximately seven better movies than this one, but this is the best one Scorsese made between 2000-2009. Plus, this the one that won Best Picture. Also, it's great.
The Lives of Others (2006) - Netflix
This quiet thriller from director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck tells the story of an East German secret policeman surveilling a playwright. Its story of selfless kindness at great personal peril has been known to move even the most stoic Germans to tears.
Pan's Labyrinth (2006) - Netflix
Guillermo Del Toro's dark fairy tale is still the greatest work of fantasy for grown-ups this side of Game of Thrones.
No Country for Old Men (2007) - Netflix
The Coen Brothers' bleak, Best Picture-winning neo-Western masterpiece is as unsettling as you remember. Javier Bardem's performance as relentless hitman Anton Chigurh, whose code of ethics is as rigid as it is inscrutable, is one of the most chilling ever captured on film.
There Will Be Blood (2007) - Showtime
Paul Thomas Anderson's epic is almost certainly the best movie of the century so far, fueled by Daniel Day-Lewis' uncompromising performance as misanthropic oil prospector Daniel Plainview. No other American movie has grappled with the soul-corroding effects of capitalism as effectively.
The Dark Knight (2008) - Hulu
Christopher Nolan's second Batman movie is still the gold standard for superhero stuff. Like a Michael Mann movie with capes.
The Hurt Locker (2008) - Netflix
Most War on Terror movies are brainless jingoism, but Kathryn Bigelow's anxious drama about bomb defusers in Iraq is more complex. It's a pro-war and anti-war movie at the same time.
In Bruges (2008) - Netflix
It's rare that a movie walks the gut-busting comedy/stomach-turningly violent thriller line as deftly as this low-key classic starring Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson as two Irish hitmen hiding out in the titular Belgian city.
Let the Right One In (2008) - Hulu
I haven't borne this out all the way, but I have a theory that the prestige horror boom began with this understated Swedish vampire movie. This is when arthouse horror went semi-mainstream.
Observe and Report (2009) - Netflix
Eastbound & Down co-creator Jody Hill's black comedy was misunderstood when it came out, but now it's essential viewing for understanding how the alt-right happened. Seth Rogen plays an alienated young man who wants to be a cop but has to settle for being a mall security guard.

With the end of the year approaching, it's a good time to slow down and reflect on the things that bring us joy. Sometimes, it's only when we pause that we realize just how much we have to be grateful for.
Here's my list of blessings; I hope it inspires you to find the things that make you happy and hold them close, too.
It's almost Thanksgiving, and you know what that means—the onslaught of Black Friday and after-Thanksgiving sales vying for your attention and money.
While I can't begrudge anyone for the sheer determination and willpower it takes to wait in line in the cold for hours, right after chowing down a hearty Thanksgiving dinner, to fight other shoppers for flat-screen TVs, the mass consumerism of Black Friday and the holiday season is…pretty much the antithesis of what this blog is all about.
However, there is a way to shop more consciously next weekend!
As the days grow shorter and colder, there's nothing cozier than snuggling into a cashmere sweater. But where does this fuzzy winter magic come from? How can you buy it responsibly? And how can you care for it so your cashmere continues to bring you warmth and joy for years to come?
Today's post is all about cashmere! I'm thrilled to partner with Grana in this post, featuring their Mongolian cashmere.
Psst, there's a discount at the end for you!
It's hard enough to find a comfortable bra that fits, let alone a sustainable and ethical one, so I was thrilled when White Rabbit offered to send me their sustainably and ethically made bamboo intimates to review!
Psst, I also have a discount code for you at the very end!


This landscape renovation planning and design project was prompted by the relocation of a half-mile portion of State Route 52, which bisects the eastern half of Longwood Gardens, one of the world's foremost horticultural showcases. The client's main goal was to preserve and protect the physical and cultural aspects of the early 20th century agricultural landscape affected by the new road. This required restoring the landscape where the road was removed; developing grading and planting plans that provided unobstructed natural vistas; and screened the view and sound of the new road from Longwood's visitors. The restoration involved the creation of over 30 acres of warm season native grass meadow, 20 acres of reforestation, new woodland edge plantings, stream mitigation, wetlands and the creation of new stormwater infiltration sites.

Q: installing Windows Vista after installed Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric I installed Windows Vista and Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric.
Now I need to reinstall windows vista.
Is it possible to install windows without ubuntu reinstalling?

A: Yes it is possible, however, usually windows overrides the boot record, which makes linux seem unbootable. After installing windows you can boot from the ubuntu live cd and repair the boot sector, if necessary.

A: Yes possible. When you reinstall Windows Vista. Windows boot loader will take over the MBR which will make 11.10 seem unbootable. However after installing Vista You can simply download EasyBCD for Windows and simply add GRUB (legacy) to MBR which will enable you to boot into 11.10 as Grub will overwrite the Windows boot loader in the MBR

A: Thx to all! I've done it.
I found a good description here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair

My question is about using a contact that is a few degrees removed from me personally. She is an executive at an organization where I recently applied for a job with whom my godmother briefly worked several years ago.
My godmother instructed me to remind the executive who she was and ask whatever questions I wanted to ask via e-mail. I am not sure how to ask "do I have a chance at this job?" and "if I don't, how can I in the future?" in a way that's not greedy or entitled. My ideas are to ask for an informational interview or attach my resume and cover letter and ask if she has any advice for someone interested in work at the organization in the future, but I want to do so in a way that's as polite and gracious as possible. I guess I could also give her an out by saying if she's not available, I'd love to learn more from one of her colleagues at the organization who might have more time.
On the one hand, I don't want to ask for too much given that my connection to her is not really that strong. On the other, I do want to use the "in" if possible — the org has a mission I'm really committed to and I devour materials like their e-mail alerts. Do you have any ideas for best practices on using these kinds of contacts and what to say when you make the initial contact?
Well, the best way to use the contact is probably to have your godmother herself reach out to her and recommend you. She should forward your application materials and explain that you recently applied for a position there, and then ideally throw in some reasons for why she recommends you (for instance, that you're smart, passionate about their mission, etc.).
In addition to that, you should also email her yourself and say that ___ recommended that you contact her personally, that you recently applied for a position with them, and that you would love any advice that she might be able to offer you. This may cue her to tell you something useful, like that they're really looking for people with a background in __ for this position but that they have an unadvertised position for __ that you might be perfect for, or who knows what. Or she may simply recommend to whoever is doing the hiring for this position that they take a look at you.
I don't think you need to worry about sounding greedy or entitled; you don't sound that way at all, and because you're so wary of coming across that way, you almost certainly won't. Good luck!
What do you recommend? Tell us in the comments below!

Learn about the founding of Albuquerque, New Mexico
Albuquerque: Along the Rio Grande
Copyright The Albuquerque Museum of Art and History, 2011
"We appear before your Lordship and in all right and conveniency we report that having given…a certified document in which we state the new buildings and towns that have been founded….also we report the growth and improvement which day by day is being made in the new towns, especially the Villa de Alburquerque and its jurisdiction." – Petition from soldiers to Interim Governor Francisco Cuervo y Valdés, 1706
La Villa de Alburquerque
The Villa of Alburquerque
In 1706, groups of settlers and soldiers journeyed south from Bernalillo to a fertile area of wooded land along a bend in the Río Grande. There, led by alcalde (mayor) Capitán Martín Hurtado, they founded the villa (administrative center) known today as Albuquerque.
The idea of founding a villa in the Rio Abajo (lower river) first surfaced in 1662, when Governor Diego de Peñalosa made an unsuccessful attempt to promote the area. After resettlement of the area by Governor Don Diego de Vargas in 1692, the municipal council of Santa Fe called upon him to establish a villa, but it never came about.
Settlers, however, were eager to reclaim lands granted to them prior to the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 and to settle on new lands along the river. On its east bank Don Diego Trujillo's estancia (orchard), El Paraje de las Huertas, was now owned by Don Francisco Trujillo and his wife Doña Luisa. Together with their married children and ranch hands, they numbered enough by the early 1700s to look like a small village known locally as El Bosque Grande de San Francisco Xavier, and later, La Estancia de Doña Luisa de Trujillo.
In late 1705 or early 1706, under the direction of Interim Governor Francisco Cuervo y Valdés, General Juan de Ulibarrí selected an area of high ground located directly on the Camino Real. There was a good ford on the river just to the west, and El Cañon de Carnué (Tijeras Canyon) provided access to the plains beyond the Sandia Mountains. In his dispatches to Mexico City, Cuervo y Valdés was careful to refer to the Recopilación, an important book of statutes governing the creation of new towns. He authorized Capitán Hurtado to conduct the ceremony, in which Hurtado and the citizens would have pulled grass, thrown rocks in the air, shouted, "Long Live the King!" and taken an oath to live on and improve the land.
The official founding document has never been discovered. Later documents show that Cuervo y Valdés authorized the residents to settle there sometime before February 23, 1706. His earliest letters to Don Francisco Fernández de la Cueva Enríquez, 10th Duke of Alburquerque, Spain and Viceroy of New Spain, described the "want and misery" of the area. Just one year later, in April 1706, they spoke of progress and prosperity – a church, government buildings, settlers, and predictions of abundant food, water and livestock.
In 1706, the population of La Villa de Alburquerque numbered somewhere around 250. Old Town consisted of a rectangular plaza oriented east-west, with a church located on the west end, a few government buildings, and adobe houses scattered along the Rio Grande. By 1776 the villa consisted of 24 houses near San Felipe de Neri Church and a population of 763. By 1793 the church was in serious disrepair, and a new, larger church was built that year on the north side of the Plaza, facing south.
The formal name of the town, described by Cuervo y Valdés in 1706 as "La Villa de San Francisco Xavier de Alburquerque," was changed by the 10th Duke in 1706 – and corrected again in 1776, by Father Francisco Atanasio Dominguez – to "La Villa de San Felipe Neri de Alburquerque."

News May 27, 2019
President Trump says black people 'will not be able' to vote for Joe Biden because of support for 1994 crime bill
'...has Sleepy Joe apologized? No!'
Jonathan Newton /The Washington Post via Getty Images
President Donald Trump said Monday that former Vice President and former senator Joe Biden's support for a 1994 crime bill that created the "three strikes" rule would hurt him with black voters, according to the New York Daily News.
President Trump in the same series of tweets, criticized Biden's support for the tough-on-crime law while touting his own role in advancing bipartisan criminal justice reform that aimed to curb over-incarceration.
"Super Predator was the term associated with the 1994 Crime Bill that Sleepy Joe Biden was so heavily involved in passing," President Trump wrote. "That was a dark period in American History, but has Sleepy Joe apologized? No!"
"Anyone associated with the 1994 Crime Bill will not have a chance of being elected," the president said in a tweet a little over an hour later. "In particular, African Americans will not be able to vote for you. I, on the other hand, was responsible for Criminal Justice Reform, which had tremendous support, & helped fix the bad 1994 bill!"
The president is referring to the 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, signed by former President Bill Clinton. The most well-known result of the law was a policy of "mandatory life imprisonment without possibility of parole for Federal offenders with three or more convictions for serious violent felonies or drug trafficking crimes."
The law also included funding for border control and illegal immigrant deportations, as well as "enhanced penalties for failure to depart the United States after a deportation order or reentry after deportation."
Biden, as ranking minority member and eventually chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, contributed significantly to efforts to establish mandatory minimums for drug offenses and to curb violent crime. His role in the effort has been well-documented in recent years as a potential obstacle to his presidential ambitions.
A spokesman for Biden in 2015 claimed the then-vice president had actually opposed the three strikes aspect of the 1994 law, supposedly fearing unintended consequences.
Biden has not yet responded to the president's tweets.

Losing Her Mind: "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" Ends with Hope
By Emily Nussbaum
In the series finale of "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend," Rebecca (Rachel Bloom, left) lets her closest friend, Paula (Donna Lynne Champlin, right), into her private mental landscape.
Photograph by Greg Gayne / The CW
The "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" series finale ended, literally, on a high note, with Rebecca Bunch (Rachel Bloom), her face glowing, her friends gathered around her, about to burst into song—but this time for real. Until then, all the music we'd heard—a thrilling, funny, often profound collection of original songs, which ranged from hip-hop pastiches to Sondheim parodies—was all in her head, maybe as part of her borderline-personality disorder, but definitely as part of her personality. "When I stare off into space, I'm imagining myself in a musical number," Rebecca shyly confessed, in the episode's key breakthrough. "And, because I do that, so does the show." Then, in the sort of wry, have-it-both-ways meta-gesture native to the series, she added, "And by 'the show' I mean the very popular B.P.D.-workbook acronym Simply Having Omniscient Wishes."
When "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" first débuted, a lot of people complained about that title: so harsh, so mocking, maybe kind of sexist? Who exactly was being made fun of? (In the original opening-credits sequence, Rebecca herself called the term sexist—and, when the chorus cheerily sang "She's so broken inside," she insisted, defensively, that the situation was "a lot more nuanced than that.") But "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" wasn't kidding about the crazy bit. When, in the last season, Rebecca got a definitive label from her psychiatrist, during a joyful, anxious number called "A Diagnosis," it was the culmination of the show's daring story arc, which had dwelled in darkness from the beginning. Rebecca, as that credits ditty recapped, was a miserable corporate lawyer who ditched her job on a whim, moving across the country to reunite with a sweet jock named Josh Chan, whom she'd dated, briefly, at summer camp. She took a job at a local firm, then proceeded to wheedle her way back into Josh's life, charming and stalking, lying and manipulating, sure that he was her soul mate or, in the parlance of Internet fans, her one true pairing.
That was Season 1. It was behavior straight out of a romantic comedy but warped enough to hint at something more extreme. For three seasons, the show treated Rebecca's boy-craziness, her outsized thirst and insecurity, the charismatic too-muchness that defined her—confidently, cunningly—as somewhere in between fabulous and horribly destructive, even as she believed that she was simply seeking her romantic destiny. Rebecca was the show's heroine, but she was also the vehicle by which it interrogated (and satirized and embraced) a certain style of toxic femininity, seen through the lens of every pink-coded genre, including Rebecca's drug of choice, musical theatre. Rebecca was warm and clever. She was loving and funny. The songs we heard were manifestations not just of her emotions but of her wit and passion. But she was also depressed, anxious, and empty—a self-centered drama queen (and drama-club queen) whose moods swung wildly, harming the people around her. In one first-season song, she called herself "the villain in my own story / the bad guy in my TV show," hitting uneasily on what made a fairy-tale ending seem impossible. She was an antihero in a twirly skirt, certain that she was meant to be an ingénue.
In fact, at certain points, Rebecca might have been unbearable if we didn't love her so much—and we did, through Rachel Bloom's daring, openhearted performance, which made us see the character's potential, not just her damage. The show's signature song came at the climax of the first season, when Rebecca realized that Josh was on to her. Titled "You Stupid Bitch," it was a wild and cathartic diva ballad of self-loathing: "You're just a lying little bitch who ruins things / and wants the world to burn"—a lyric so relatable that it has doubled, for fans, as a perverse anthem of self-assertion, a way of putting the inside voice on the outside. (Me, I listen to it whenever I'm stuck on a first draft.)
Over three seasons, Rebecca rode the waves of three romances—with dopey Josh, sardonic Greg, élitist Nathaniel—until each crashed into a wall of dysfunction. She made mistakes that seemed unforgivable, including hurling violent threats and sleeping with her boyfriend's friend and, in one particularly awful case, her ex's father. By the Season 3 finale, the show was facing the crisis that was baked into its premise: if Rebecca never faced repercussions for her actions, the show itself would curdle, by seeming to glamorize unhappiness, making chaos "cute." Airing on the CW, it had always been an idiosyncratic, offbeat production with a cult audience, perpetually at risk of cancellation. Now it had the opportunity to end things right.
Bloom and her co-creator, Aline Brosh McKenna, along with their songwriting partners, Jack Dolgen and the Fountains of Wayne genius Adam Schlesinger, stepped up. Rebecca went to prison, then got out; she went into therapy, this time for real. The final season reached for something that I've never seen a show pull off: dramatizing themes—among them repentance, sobriety, and humility—that are much harder to make more enjoyable than one girl's madcap hunt for true love, let alone set to music. Rebecca made amends. She did public service. In the wake of her diagnosis of B.P.D., she began to "do the work," as they say in recovery programs—step by step, workbook by workbook, resisting and then accepting medication, relapsing more than once. She quit her high-pressure job as a lawyer and opened a pretzel business that gave her better work-life balance. She struggled to make her relationships more mutual, to treat intimacy less like a drug, to let her friends be more than sidekicks. In essence, she struggled to be a more ordinary individual, to purge her inner Pippin, rather than continually crash into the sun.
At first, like Rebecca, the show struggled to pull this off. For a while, it jumped among the other characters in the ever-expanding ensemble—including Rebecca's exes and her trio of close girlfriends, who had evolved from codependents, frenemies, and nemeses into peers—in a manner that sometimes jelled and other times fell flat. But a few episodes in, the season hit its stride, helped by the return of Greg, now played by a new actor, Skylar Astin. The recasting was pragmatic, a way of handling the fact that the original actor, Santino Fontana, left, in Season 2. Astin was another triple-threat musical star, but he lacked some of the acrid intensity, the self-loathing that matched so well Rebecca's own. He was a kinder, gentler version of Greg, which altered the show's chemistry.
The creators played it out beautifully, however, with a song that captured the show's key theme: the hopeful idea that a person could, in fact, change herself, so much that she could become unrecognizably improved to the people who once knew her. Skylar Astin was Greg when he was sober; if he could do it, the show suggested, maybe Rebecca could, too. And, as Allie Pape pointed out for Vulture, "New Greg" 's less abrasive quality also accidentally improved the show's endgame by unstacking the deck, because he was no longer her obvious O.T.P.
And, in fact, the finale began by rejecting the one true pairing as its own blinkered delusion. In the very funny penultimate episode, Rebecca went on dates with all three of her exes, in a "Bachelor"-like competition that the entire ensemble placed bets on, as if they were "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" fans. It was romantic, it was funny, it was musically satisfying: another perfect episode, using every character and even giving a minor role a full-on "Guys and Dolls" number. The finale, however, was quieter. In the very first scene, Rebecca took a peek into the future, at the disappointing truth: that she had the same look on her face, blankly depressed, no matter whom she chose. There was no right man, because the problem wasn't love at all. It was her.
This wasn't an "I choose me" ending, that sassy, shallow affirmation of female independence that has become its own cliché of romantic comedy, the deus ex me-china of more than one recent "go, girl!" production, in both movies and television. Instead, the finale explored something more granular, more melancholy. A person with a mood disorder doesn't have a "me" to choose, or, at least, not so easily—even in "You Stupid Bitch," Rebecca recognized that Josh couldn't complete her, "when there's no 'me' left to complete." What she still had to do was to give up being a shifting, sparkling manic charmer, eternally crashing into desperation; she needed to become a coherent adult, without losing the imagination that sustained her. In "Eleven O'Clock," a medley set in her inner Broadway landscape—on an abstract stage, like the one where she'd sung "You Stupid Bitch"—she was surrounded by the costumes she'd worn in the course of the show. It was an attempt to patch together some essential self from all of the roles she'd played, while hunting for stability, trying to perform love.
And then she finally let someone else into that private landscape—not one of her exes but her closest friend, Paula, who doesn't judge Rebecca for her craziness. Paula saw something beautiful in there, not something shameful. Rebecca needed to write down the songs that she'd kept inside her head, Paula told her; she had to pursue the path she'd started a few episodes before, when she'd bridled at the sexism of older musical-theatre songs, the ones she thought she loved but now felt trapped by. She had to risk letting people hear her inner thoughts, which meant risking the possibility of people judging her. In essence, she had to find a way to become Rachel Bloom. It was a romantic ending, but it was also one that felt just right: a recognition that the wild swings, the too-muchness of Rebecca could be creative, not only destructive. A "crazy" person is finally just a person.
After the finale, the CW aired a concert, filmed in Los Angeles, in which Bloom and the cast sang—minus Fontana, sadly—some of the show's best numbers, to a crowd of fans who happily roared along. In a month, I'll be attending a similar concert in New York. I have a feeling it won't be the last time fans gather. Call me corny, but there's something jazz-hands lovely to what this deceptively small show accomplished, while expanding the boundaries of television: it offered its most devoted fans something to sing along with, together, in the darkness.
