Put Your Hands in The Air and Wave Them Like You Just Want to Close an App
January 22, 2015 Pedro Rafael Rosado Leave a comment
This is the scene that sparked my interest in gesture recognition technology. It's a clip from the mostly forgettable mid-90's Sci-Fi clunker Johnny Mnemonic adapted from a story by William Gibson. Keanu Reeves plays the title character, a man with a cybernetic brain implant designed to store data, allowing him to act as a courier of information deemed too sensitive to transfer across a souped-up virtual reality version of the Internet dubbed "The Net".
Here's a factoid for you: Dolph Lundgren played the villain and was stuck in Direct-to-video Purgatory, not acting in a film with a theatrical release until 2010's The Expendables. That's how good it was.
Nevertheless, watching Keanu hacking is way into a Yakuza account by flailing and flapping his hands and wearing totally funky fresh VR goggles absolutely blew me away. You have to understand, the Internet was a relatively new phenomenon back then—AOL ruled the landscape when this film premiered—and virtual reality was strictly a Star Trek: Next Generation plot device.
Over the next decade Hollywood blockbusters Minority Report and the Iron Man series pushed gesture technology even closer to reality by inspiring scientists and programmers who took on the challenge of creating the "spatial operating environments" and "holotables" depicted in the films.
Gesture recognition is described as interacting with computers by using gestures of the human body, typically hand movements. In gesture technology, a camera reads the movements of the human body and communicates the data to a computer that uses the gestures as input to control devices or applications.
Even onscreen the tech evolved in the few short years between releases. Tony Stark ditched the gloves John Anderton was forced to wear and was able to build his armor with barehanded computing abandon. As fanciful and mind-blowing as the gesture tech appeared on the silver screen, the introduction of gesture recognition tech to those of us living in the real world was more modest.
Hello Nintendo Wii…
The Wii console controllers and Microsoft's Kinect for the Xbox, introduced gesture tech directly into our living rooms. Now we can all gesticulate and prance about like the narcissistic billionaire arms dealer with a weak heart we were destined to be.
On a related note, Kaisernet Industries is developing its own gesture-based product. The working title is the Palm-Back V but we're open to suggestions…

PTJ 126: Winter Is Coming? Nope, Winter Is Here.
Admit it, you want a Holotable like the one in Tony Stark's lab just as badly as El Kaiser does. Those fantastical computers Tom Cruise's character in Minority Report controlled by waving his hands are not just Hollywood movie magic.You may already have a gesture controlled interface sitting in your living room.
This week Pedro breaks down gesture recognition technology in his Tech Term and J.D. helps us prepare for the brutal winter condition witha (Hopefully) Helpful Hint.
We also have a ton of tech news and shenanigans so pop on those headphones and get ready to have some fun!

Just as every city has innumerable shops and cafés, it also has many different business networking groups. Not every shop offers a good range, not every café makes a great coffee. The same is true of business networking groups. They are not created equal. And there is a lot at stake when choosing which business networking groups to join.
Good question! So, what does make BNI stand out, and why should you join?
Networking is key to the success of all of our businesses. Why spend a fortune on advertising, or hours making cold calls, when we know word-of-mouth marketing to be most effective.
So should we join networking groups? Yes, definitely! In fact Dr Ivan Misner, the BNI Founder and Chairman, suggests we all join two or three, so we meet a broad range of people.
But how do we choose those two or three?
So Many Networking Groups: Which Ones Are Right?
Having worked in the field of referral marketing for several decades, BNI's Ivan Misner is an expert. He has identified six types of networking groups. By looking at these six types more closely, we can decide on the best ones for our businesses.
The first type of networking group, the casual contact network, is a business group that allows many people from various overlapping professions. As there are no restrictions on the number of people from each profession, competition within each category is often high.
The best examples of casual contact groups are Chambers of Commerce, which provide business owners with the opportunity to meet hundreds of other business people.
They often restrict membership to only one person per profession or specialty.
Strong contact networks tend to be more structured in their meeting format than casual contact networks. They often include sections for open networking, short presentations by everyone, longer and more detailed presentations by one or two members, and time devoted solely to passing business referrals.
BNI is a good example of a strong contact network.
Community service clubs give you an opportunity to put something back into the community where you do business – while allowing you to make valuable contacts and receive good PR.
Two good examples of community service clubs are the Rotary and Lions Clubs.
Professional associations focus on one specific industry, such as banking, architecture, accounting, or health. The primary purpose of a professional association is for members to exchange information and ideas within their specific industry.
If you're interested in joining a professional association you should join a group that your potential clients or target market belong to. Ask your best clients which professional associations they belong to and join those. The idea is that your potential customers will most likely have the same needs as your existing, best customers. Joining the professional associations your best customers belong to will give you the opportunity to mix with similar people.
Social/business organisations are groups that (as the name suggests!) combine business and social activities. The idea here is that you can have a little fun while you work (or do a little work while you have fun!).
Women's business organisations take all forms, from casual contact groups to associations and more structured strong contact networks. While the structure and specific benefits of each group may be different, the goal is the same: To support the participation and effectiveness of women in business.
What Is BNI – And How Does It Compare?
BNI is a strong contact group.
BNI members meet weekly for the primary purpose of exchanging referrals.
Membership is restricted to one person per professional category in each chapter so there is no competition within categories.
BNI chapter meetings are formal and structured.
Everyone has the chance to promote their business and learn about other members' businesses.
And, importantly, the meetings are fun!
The members of your BNI chapter become more than your business associates and marketing team. They become your friends, and we all know how easy it is to do business with friends.
So, as you plan your marketing activities for the year ahead, think carefully about where you will invest your networking time and money in 2012.
Visit your local BNI chapter to find out whether BNI is right for you and your business.

DARPA aims to scale social science research
By Mark Rockwell
Tapping into massive communities of gamers or students could provide a platform to study human behaviors at a previously unreachable scale.
Today's wired world could give social science researchers a petri dish of epic proportions. Tapping into massive communities of gamers or students could provide a platform to study human behaviors at a previously unreachable scale.
To begin to assess the research opportunities provided by such web-connected communities, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency launched its Next Generation Social Science (NGS2) program that aims to build tools and methods for rigorous, reproducible social science studies.
Social science research, the agency said, has traditionally been bound to experiments involving only a few dozen participants, usually university student volunteers, or extrapolating smaller study datasets into larger ones.The reach and depth of huge massively multiplayer online gaming and massive online open course platforms could that dynamic. Using new tools that can tap those sprawling environments, DARPA believes thousands of people online can be engaged to tap unexplored ranges of topics.
The new applications could take on age-old social science challenges, including identifying primary drivers of social cooperation, instability and resilience with benefits for national security, public health and economics.
DARPA said NGS2 will initially fund researchers for three core social science capabilities: predictive modeling and hypothesis generation, innovative experimental methods and platforms, and interpretation and reproducibility of research results.
Additionally, the agency said the program will draw from publicly available data, as well as from results from other gaming platform research done with user consent.
The proposers day will be held on March 22, 2016, in Arlington, Va. Click here to read the solicitation.

Francis Vega and Neal Carlton shared a passion, to create art with iron. At first, an old tobacco barn was converted to work space. They even hand built their own coal fired forge.
in 1987, Vega Metals Inc. was formed in Durham, North Carolina. Vega Metals has been the recipient of seven international awards for metal work and featured in numerous trade publications. Several books devoted to the art of blacksmithing have included our work. Our favorite book, "The Contemporary Blacksmith" by Dona Meilach, features our work, as well as that of many other blacksmiths.
Sadly, in April of 2013 we lost Francis Vega to cancer. The tradition of both Vega Metals and Cricket Forge continues on, lovingly, with Neal and Francis' wife, Cindy.


Well..untuk budak sekolah.. that is..budak sekolah!
And to become pure evil..I need an energy. I'm so hungry right now. I can eat anyone!
Anyway, Chidori baru aja habiskan cuti Chidori (Macamana boleh habiskan sedangkan holidays baru bermula for me?)..ehem..dengan menonton anime Kuroshitsuji and Kuroshitsuji 2 a.k.a Monoshitsuji.
Onni tan bagi Chidori beli apa saja asalkan tak terlalu mahal. And Chidori pilih cerita anime Kuroshitsuji. Ini kisah sebelum habis SPM ye minna san..
I was like.. "Kuro..Kuroshitsuji 2..? Wait! Wait! That means..this is Monoshitsuji!"
and in a split second..I totally forgotten that I still have 3 subject left for SPM exam papers.
Finally, SPM ended. Chidori went to that shop again. Only to find out, Monoshitsuji have been sold out! The person who bought the DVD, is pure evil..in his or her own kind of way! I went out and finally..
"DVD Kuroshitsuji season 2 akan datang mungkin petang ni. Adik boleh tinggalkan nombor phone adik. Kakak akan call bila DVD tu sampai."
This is Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler).
The summary: Sebastian Michealis is a butler with a unquestionable knowledge, martial arts, manners, cooking skills and many more. He is a perfect butler. But for some reasons, Sebastian is very loyal to a 12 years old kid called Ciel Phantomhive. Ciel is also the head of the Phantomhive household. Sebastian really love to said "Watashi wa akuma de shitsuji desu kara" and means "I am one hell of a butler." Sebastian is very loyal but there are times when he did not pay any attention to Ciel at all and that is when, he sees a stray black cat with amber eyes. Comically the only times he does not follow Ciel's orders is when he sees a cat, too dazed observing it to pay any attention to anything else. He's weak point is neko! If only Ciel wears a neko suits once..
The summary: After Ciel's wish comes true with Sebastian's help (of course lah), Sebastian tried to complete contract that bond between his Boochan and himself. However,as soon as he tried to enjoy his 'dinner' Alois Trancy, who make a contract with Claude Faustus, make an order "Ciel Phantomhive will become mine~"
And..a new batle begun. Like Sebastian, Claude really like to said "Watashi wa danna-sama wo akumade musaboritai" which means "I want to greedily devour you to the end, my master." I noticed that whenever Claude say that, Alois seems scared.
Well..if someone ever said that to me, I'll be scared as well. It's like.."Danna sama Ican eat you any time.." Hik2..
Out of 10 marks, I gave 9 1/2 marks for Kuroshitsuji.
And for Monoshitsuji...7 1/2 marks. Monoshitsuji lost 3 marks because of the ending.
I hope there will be Kuroshitsuji Seasons 3 later on. It's not fair! For my sweet Sebby! Ciel, turned into an Akuma (did I just mix up English Vocab and Japanese word?)and Sebastian would have to remain as Ciel's butler for eternity. That is so rude! Sebastian dah jadi macam buruh paksa. Terpaksa buat apa saja tanpa bayaran. It's like what he said "An eternity curse has been place upon me."
Ciel is rude and cruel but...owh sad!
Maybe in season 3, Sebastian boleh buat macam ni..ehem.."I should teach Bocchan how to live as a human once again." Or maybe "I should find a way to break this silly wish that Alois Trancy made"
Yeah! That's my Sebby! I really love the last part anyway..
"From this momment, you should only answer one thing" Ciel said.
"Yes My Lord" Sebastian reply.
P/s Mungkin ada yang tak tahu apa maksud title for today. Titlenyer ialah "Sono Shitsuji, Namida" which means "His Butler, Tears"
Chidori boleh enjoy sepuas hati. No more textbook and only netbook that is Kuro No Kaze~ Chidori dah tamat menjalani 10 subject for SPM.
Hei Raito kun! I just said no more text book aren't I?!
Anyway, sebab Chidori dah lama tak update blog, banyak betul habuk kat blog ni. Fuh luh~ Zero Kiryuu..are you the one on charge with the cleaning? This blog is a mess! Where is all the maid?!
Kertas terakhir Chidori ialah kertas Ekonomi Asas a.k.a EA. Lepas tamat aja kertas EA pukul 4pm tadi, tamatlah SPM untuk tahun 2010. Bila pengawas peperiksaan kata.. "Okey, kertas seterusnya ialah.."
On the spot kitaorang jawab "Tak ade! Dah habis dah~"
Chidori and 11 orang member pergi meraikan tamatnyer SPM kat Pizza Hut. Kat situ macam2 hal jugak jadi. Kecoh betul. Ramai yang pandang pelik sebab segerombolan budak sekolah muncul kat Pizza Hut, pakai uniform sekolah masa cuti sekolah. Ada makcik siap tahan Shieadefu and tanya dia pasal SPM.
Rasanya, pada 3/1/2011, boleh tak Chidori datang sekolah balik macam biasa. Buat selamber jer. Datang and masuk kat kelas 5S. Tengok jer cikgu mengajar.
Weh~ Rasanya Chidori dah hilang separuh kesedaran masa kat Pizza Hut tadi.
THE SPM PAPER IS FINISHED FOR GOOD! CHIDORI'S KAN KETSU HEN HAS COME TO IT'S END!! MINNA SAN, LET'S ENJOY!!!
Mosh mosh. Konbawa minna san!
This is a last minute entry if, anyone would notice it. Hihihi. Didn't have much time to update my blog. Again..It's hard being me.
Anyway, lepas dua minggu yang sangat busy, Chidori finally menjalani hidup yang normal balik pada hari Sabtu dan Ahad. Chidori cuma duduk kat rumah and rehat sambil buat kerja sekolah.
Hari Sabtu, Chidori just berehat jer and main Kuro No Kaze sambil baca buku penyiasatan yang baru aja Chidori beli. Tajuknya ialah, Pembunuhan ABC daripada pengarang bernama Agatha Christie. Okka san kata, Agatha Christie ialah penulis buku cerita penyiasatan yang terkenal. Menulis cerita bersiri detektif ialah kebolehan Agatha Christie.
Born 120 years ago (15 September 1890 –12 January 1976) Agatha Christie wrote 80 detective novels. She also wrote a romance novels under the name of Mary Westmacott. Agatha Christie has been referred to by the Guinness Book of World Records as the best-selling writer of books of all time and the best-selling writer of any kind, along with William Shakespeare. Her works, particularly those featuring detectives Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple, have given her the title the 'Queen of Crime' and made her an important writer in the development of the genre.
Malam Sabtu, Chidori pun mulalah buat kerja sekolah and sambung lagi pada hari Ahad. Sebelum mula baca buku penyiasatan Agatha Christie, Chidori baca sebuah lagi buku novel sampai habis. Buku tu Chidori pinjam kat library sekolah. Chidori memang dah lama nak baca buku tu tapi, Chidori ingat nak beli aja. Tak mau pinjam. Tapi, tak ada masa nak beli. So, bila Chidori nampak aja buku tu kat rak buku library, Chidori terus pinjam. Bukunya ialah..
Siapa pernah baca buku ni? Sangat best tau! Full of imagination. Faisal Tehrani ialah salah seorang novelis kesukaan Chidori. Faisal Tehrani juga dah menulis buku penyiasatan Detektif Indigo 1 and 2. Chidori is waiting for the third one.
And so, that's all. Chidori akan menikmati minggu ini dengan membaca buku-buku penyiasatan. Sangat bahagia!
But still..exam is just on the corner, so tak bahagia sangat lah. Selain baca buku detektif, Chidori akan baca buku..teks sekolah...Let's ganbatte for exam! Let's do it, Tsukasa Chan!

This report presents and summarizes the data collected in fulfillment of the requirements for the Washington State Department of Transportation grant "HOV Lane Evaluation and Monitoring". This report provides the information necessary to analyze HOV lane performance and development. Data collection results and analysis are presented, followed by conclusions and recommendations. The data contained herein were collected during Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III of the HOV lane monitoring project (July 1992-June 1996). The data collection methodology is described in the final report, "HOV Monitoring and Evaluation Tool". Included in this report are the following primary and secondary measures of HOV lane performance: (1) average vehicle occupancy data, (2) travel time data, (3) public opinion survey results, and (4) enforcement, compliance, and adjudication data. Data collection issues and their implications for data availability are discussed. It is important to note that this report does not evaluate the HOV lane system in the Puget Sound region. Rather, it is a compilation of the data necessary to conduct a meaningful evaluation. Although analysis of public opinion data and enforcement data is provided, the report's primary purpose is to simply present the data and discuss issues associated with its use, not to provide an extensive analysis.


Red lentils on a creamy coconut sauce topped with ginger and garlic spiced shrimp and baby kale.
Lentils are a protein packed alternative to beans. Red split lentils also cook faster than beans making them perfect for quick dinnertime meals. We love the earthy flavor of lentils and their wide range of recipe applications!
Read through entire recipe before getting started. Wash and dry all produce. Mince or grate garlic. Chop cilantro leaves and stems. Peel and grate ginger (see peeling instruction card). Remove shrimp from package, rinse, pat dry and remove tail shells. Toss shrimp with 1 tsp. oil, spice blend and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Dissolve vegetable broth base in 2 cups water.
Using the back of your knife, wack the lemongrass a few times to lightly crush. Bring lentils, lemongrass, and vegetable broth to boil in a small pot. Reduce to simmer and cook for 8-10 min. Drain, put back in pot and cover to keep warm. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Lentils should be soft but not mush. While lentils are cooking start searing the shrimp (Step #3).
Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large wok or sauté pan over medium heat. Add shrimp and ginger; cook for 2-3 minutes until shrimp are pink, firm, and opaque. The USDA recommends cooking shrimp to an internal temperature of 145ºF.
Add garlic and baby kale to shrimp, tossing for 1 minute. Remove shrimp and vegetables from pan, place in small bowl and set aside.
Add coconut milk to the same pan you cooked shrimp in. Simmer until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.
Divide coconut milk between two bowls. Remove lemongrass stalk from lentils and divide between 2 bowls. Add shrimp and vegetable mix on top. Enjoy!


suffering,–which are what God requires of me under the circumstances.
we let very petty foes vanquish us in reality for want of due heed.
meet them bravely, and to resist them when they come.
one can avoid anxiety and over-eagerness.

There's a reason why she used to go by the username "cayleecow" (now branding herself using her name @cayleecowan). He who sucks on Caylee Cowan nipples will have an eternal boner.
Bright green eyes, elegant blonde locks, majestic natural big boobs, and undeniable beautiful face, surely Caylee Cowan is a winner in the genetic lottery. She is of Russian-Jewish descent on her father's side, and Spanish, English, and German on her mother's. This part-Jewish babe is a "big" testament of Hitler's shitty perspectives.
I am not sure if the leak is intentional or not since she might just be using it as a leverage to further her career as a model and celebrity starlet. After all, the competition in Los Angeles is truly tight. But hey, it's 2018, you cannot be crucified for having your nudes leaked online. With the right gifts and willingness, anyone can start doing porn and be a successful pornstar.
What I can say is her boyfriend slash live-in partner slash photographer is one hell of a lucky dude. The pretty Caylee Cowan is an all natural chick with very naughty side. She's more than willing to take nude pictures and become the innocent submissive slave who calls you daddy during sex. Imagine living with that kind of goddess? He might be emptying his balls every now and then. I am just really glad to be blessed enough to see Caylee Cowan nude pictures. Although Caylee Cowan blowjob video is perfect, I am looking forward for more sex videos either hardcore or soft.

OK. Just finish Michael Haneke's Cache' (Hidden)...
Location: XXX
I felt cheated. Your opinion?
The conclusion: I think Hineke has the talent of Hitchcock, but sadly, he want to be Antonioni, or even Kieslowski. He will be the great director to direct Vanishing (A thriller about the missing girl) but unfortunately, he want to do L'avventura (A sophsiticated film which use missing girl as a tool) instead. For me, Cache' failed just because of that.

I'm glad you feel that way.
Perhaps you will understand how I feel having logged into a thread expecting something resembling an interesting insight - as is usually the case in this portion of the forum - and instead finding your bullshit 5-word-post.
It's been quite awhile since this film was released, and I'm sorry to say we decided to go ahead and discuss it without you. If your post above is any indication, that appears to have been the smart move. Anyway, I suggest that you learn to use the search function, with which you can find the ongoing conversation on this film and others. Once found, you can add your own thoughts to that discussion, should you actually have any.

That is exactly what I felt about this film, seem like I did a good job portrayed it to you.
I didn't say anything doesn't mean I don't have anything to say but I'm more interested in other people's opinion for now.
From your reply, I guess you love the film then.

That's pretty funny. Richard has a point. You could explain why exactly you feel cheated rather than posting what amounts to a bash. People like or dislike films all the time. It's not really unique that you disliked it. If you are trying to initiate a dialogue, you could make some particular critical points.

But I really didn't mean for my response to come off as harsh as it sounds to me now.
Pum, if you want to elaborate on your opinion of the film, I'd be game to participate in that discussion. It'd be a good excuse to watch the film again.

Subgeniusguy, I didn't explain because I believed it's really obvious from this film where it cheated audience. But of course I'm more than happy to explain if you want me to.
OK. Here we go.
Michael Haneke is a great director. His talent can compare to only living fews. Not many directors can create tension just from the scene of a nice guy come to our house to ask for eggs (Funny Game). But I think he believed he himself was more sophisticated than he really is, that's where the film failed.
Technically speaking, this film was superb. The first two-third was really great it just need an OK ending to gain 10/10 rating but unfortunately, he can't think of one. To excuse the film didn't mean to explain is cheap. Bergman, Antonioni, or even Fellini can think of good ending without too much explanation. L'avventura had good ending and 8 1/2 was a really hard one to end.
Why I felt cheated? Because the film is not interesting in the political angle. Not all Algerians living in the poor flats behaved as nice as that. It's not interesting in the "guilt" angle, the way he told the story about French 1961 massacre of Algerians. The..umm.. "you-massacred-them-you-were-bad-you-should-feel-guilty" message is not interesting or at least, he didn't make it interesting. The only angle of the film that's interesting is thriller angle. The video made the film. But somehow when Auteil's character went out of his house to check who rang the door and didn't find one and when he was closing the door he found another tape lying mysteriously waiting, I bet myself Haneke couldn't have way out of that. And he couldn't. He said he wouldn't but he couldn't. He resorted to cheap trick to have us interested.
Of course the tape can be conscience. But to not explain it is as annoying as I wrote the thread others hope for interesting insight but found only five words, don't you think?
That's OK. I didn't mean to "bash" the film either. Notice I didn't say it's a bad film, just I felt cheated.

Actually the film is quite interesting given precisely the angle you mention. There is a much larger description of Haneke's vision where each of the main protagonists is linked to a fragment of France and its political past thus there is no real resolution at the very end (at least according to those who like their cinema with concrete resolution(s)). As the story explores the enigma of rationalizing cause-effect/action-reaction throwing in the above-mentioned political overtones Cache is anything but a mystery-whodunit film.
Pro-B
Marty has given you a great pointer, perhaps you should look into it....

So was L'avventura not about where the missing girl was. It still has good ending though.
Personally, I think the political angle of Cache' is so flat. It's kind of like good guy/bad guy black and white. It just blamed the obvious. France rape Algeria so France was bad and Algeria was good. That's why Mahjid unbelievably behaved so nice and so innocent. But the interesting thing is geo-politic is more complicated than this. And in light of modern incident (Iraq), it's even more complexed than before. That's why I said it's not interesting.
Blue/White/Red had done a good job mixed politic into the film though.
Thanks for the comment. I'll check the link Marty gave later in the day because right now I'm so busy. And if I change my mind after read it, I'll report back.
OK. I have include my conclusion to the first post for you guys to initiate dialougue. Please excuse my bluntness. Just think of it as the reflection of frustration of someone who just saw an almost brilliant film the director didn't know how to end.
Oh, well this is easy! I thought this would end up being a debate over something so subjective as "taste", but it turns out that you're just flat-out wrong, pum.
Your focus is clearly on the end of the film, but you also criticize the film as a whole for being something akin to an oversimplified gloss on colonialist sins, yet another tiresome, finger-wagging reprimand of the Western bourgeoisie. Or, if you don't consider that theme to be tired, reductive, or derivative, you at least acknowledge that such fare is "not interesting" to you. The only thing that interests you is "the thriller angle".
The short answer would be for you to stay out of the deep end, and stick to genre films. These will stick to the formula in a way you should find satisfying. But what to make of your citations to "8-1/2" or "L'avventura"? It seems that you're willing to accept something more than pure genre banality, not to mention open-ended, highly irresolute conclusions.
So, why are dissatisfied with the ending of "Cache"? My only thought is that something of significance might have escaped you. Certainly, Haneke is making a point about the repression of Algerians (or any ethnic minority) and how those who benefit from this exploitation (the French bourgeoisie, or any class residing at the top of a given societal structure) fail to acknowledge it, or even to be consciously aware of it. The issue, of course, is one of perspective.
As in "Code Unknown", Haneke is exploring the reluctance or inability of the Western bourgeois to question its own viewpoint or comprehend a differing ("foreign") perspective. Haneke reveals the limits of perpective in the grammar of his film. He distorts the image, switches from "live" events to recorded ones, and utilizes unusual vantage points to sow doubt about the accuracy of the images we're witnessing. From the first shot - at the point where we begin to hear voices discussing the action on screen and then the footage is rewound - Haneke reveals that what we see is not necessarily the "truth" of any given event, that some element is being withheld ("hidden") that might tell us more or contradict what we think we know. Thereafter, the viewer is forced to question the perspective and objectivity of every single shot to the point of becoming actively complicit in the events we witness.
At one point, Haneke even seems to question the significance of the events in his own film. Consider the scene where Georges and Anne become desperate in their search for the missing Pierrot, with the panicked calls to family friends and police. Haneke blocks the scene with Georges and Anne off to the border, and their television set situated center frame. As Georges and Anne grow increasingly distressed, the television news broadcasts footage of Third World misery. The death and desperation is unyeilding, far more devastating and widespread than one missing, privileged child. But we're hardwired to focus on that child of privilege to the exclusion of all the other horrors which, by any objective measure, eclipse the brief disappearance of a single Western child. Understandably, for Georges and Anne, Pierrot's disappearance takes precedence. But for us, the viewers, should it? By centering the television and marginalizing Georges and Anne, Haneke creates an instructive dilemma for the viewer between the objectively inconsequential personal crisis at hand, and the widespread catastrophe of the Third World. And as the television takes us from the West Bank to Iraq to Afghanistan and on and on through the litany of horribles, the perceptive viewer perhaps notes the stain of colonialism here, too.
But your problem is really with the ending, no? For you, Haneke "didn't know how to end" his film. For me, Haneke has created the perfect ending, one that precisely illustrates his primary theme and requires the viewer to employ every tool we've developed over the course of the narrative as we realize that it's on us to decode every shot, every presumably objective perspective that turns out to be somehow compromised, always some key element remaining "hidden". So, there, in the left of the frame... "the conversation". And we suddenly realize something about two characters that (again) completely rearranges our perspective. It might be the solution.... the answer to the mystery! But no. We don't learn enough. Something still remains hidden. We can't hear. We don't know what's been said. And that shot, we've seen it before. Is this live? Is this another tape? Do we have a solution or only more questions?
Again, the limits of perspective. In our subjective experience, something always remains hidden. But Haneke hopes we are now more fully aware, that perhaps we have shed a bit of the old false consciousness. We remember. Our memories take on a new light as our perspective broadens. We understand that actions have consequences beyond those we can see and which we may never know, or which may have been purposefully forgotten. And so we see the repetition of a static image, and within that image two boys talk and then go their separate ways. And in that split moment, we have learned something extraordinary, even shocking. But more than that, we realize that there's so much more that remains hidden.

Richard Malloy - excellent insights on this film. I agree right down the line. For me, I would have felt cheated if Haneke HAD neatly summed up the "mystery".

I agree with you on that point completely, but I'm not sure that's Pum's problem with the ending. After all, he (rightly IMO) praises the ending to "L'avventura", which concerns itself with issues rather remote to the disappearance of... oh, what was her name again?
But any all-encompassing explanation (a la Hercule Poirrot, say) would certainly lessen the impact of "Cache". More than that, I think if Haneke had provided a single, terminal explanation, it would completely undermine his primary purpose. At that point, the audience would simply stop thinking about it, stop grappling with the possibilities, and either accept the explanation or rationalize why it doesn't add up (isn't "fair" in the typical whodunnit sense in that sufficient "clues" weren't provided to the audience). Rather than leaving us grappling with problems of perspective (or lack of same), questions of guilt and conscience, and how one responds in moments of moral reckoning, we simply pronounce the narrative good-or-bad as a construct in itself (in the genre sense), in this instance as "a mystery" or "whodunnit".
But I don't think that's Pum's criticism. I think he has problems with the execution of the film (as in Haneke set out to make something on par with "L'avventura" and ended up with a pale imitation like "The Birds"). Or possibly his criticism is with the whole theme of guilt and moral reckoning as it pertains to the Franco-Algerian problem. I don't want to put words in his mouth, and I think the possibility of misunderstanding is magnified by a slight language barrier. I'm certainly not criticizing - I don't have the guts to engage in complex discussions in my secondary language, and even if I did, I certainly could not express myself as well in French as Pum does in English! (So, forgive me, Pum, if I've misunderstood or mischaracterized your criticisms.)
Woo... Just finished works. Come here to read the link Marty gave and see Richard's reply, I don't think I need to read the link anymore. If there's someone who understanded Hidden perfectly, we got it right here. It must be him.
But I don't think that's Pum's criticism. I think he has problems with the execution of the film (as in Haneke set out to make something on par with "L'avventura" and ended up with a pale imitation like "The Birds").
You speak my mind better than me. Yes, that's my problem. The last two scenes, I think it's inadequate to conclude the film.
the possibility of misunderstanding is magnified by a slight language barrier.
Yes, language is a problem, as you can see. I'll try my best.
To read yours and Pro-B's, I have come to the conclusion that you need to share the political POV as Haneke to enjoy this. Unfortunately, I don't. Maybe that's why I frustrated.
This scene bothered me somewhat. I felt just the opposite. Yes, you should mind your child, your business, first and foremost. It's nice to have western countries to help third-world countries humanitarianly but I don't think third-world countries would want interference from westerns be it conservative way or liberal way. The world will always be full of problems. You can't get rid of it. The best thing you can do though is to be fair, not taking side. any side.
And in the awareness sense, maybe people are political-aware but not share the same political agenda as Haneke's?
In term of political POV, IMO Hidden is less sophisticated even though it had more layers than Lawrence of Arabia. Maybe that's because Lawrence of Arabia was from true story. In Lawrence of Arabia we saw the real world: Everybody's trying to take advantage of everybody. And Sir David Lean even had time to study internal conflict of Lawrence itself.
Now, Auteil's and his family seemed a little bit one-dimensional. And the portrayal of the Algerians is also somewhat one-dimensional. To be fair, that's all Haneke needed.
But in spite of this, I was still glued to the film, why? Because Haneke has great technique. He is awesome. He deserved every awards he got. I still want to see his films, especially one that's not into too much politic. Too bad my Piano Teacher DVD crashed just before half of the film.
I'm a little envious of Richard, or Pro-B. If I share the same political interest you had in this film, my watching experince would be most awesome. I almost love it already. And I really want to love it. You can feel that it's special.
I'm not sure one has to acknowledge, much less share any particular political perspective when it comes to this film. One merely has to acknowledge the history. Algeria was deemed a key component of the "Fourth Republic", and France's invasion and colonization of that country included immediately moving tens of thousands of French (and Italians and others, as well, I believe) into the country, confiscating property and redistributing it to European colons, granting only to European colons the rights of full citizenship (but not the indigenous population), as well as all the other indecencies visited upon the occupied population. I think it's very interesting to note in the context of this film that the invasion of Algeria was actually a plan of the ancien régime, and it succeeded right around the same time that Charles X was deposed. The new constitutional monarchy was more liberal than the former regime, but continued the subjugation and colonization of Algeria, although apparently somewhat reluctantly, and mostly to uphold "French honor" and provide a bulwark against English influence in the region. In other words, typical colonial brutality visited upon a population scarcely considered human by the occupiers.
In a way, I think Georges' mother is somewhat representative of the prior régime - in this instance, the Fifth Republic under de Gaulle - and to me she seems the most culpable member of the family. Her conversation with Georges is a crucial scene, and I think it's revealing on the film's other big issue, the tendency of the powerful and privileged to conveniently "forget" the wrongs it commits against the powerless and neglected. After all, there are issues of specific personal guilt in this film, surrounded by (and as a result of) this greater event of collective guilt, the 1961 Paris Massacre, in which Majid's parents are killed by Maurice Papon's police force. Good story on it here: http://www.washington-report.org/bac...97/9703036.htm
This event was itself apparently "hidden" in French society for years, the collective amnesia attributed to official repression of the story, but perhaps also a somewhat more intentional act of forgetting on the part of the citizenry. In a way, the belated recognition by the French government in 2001 or thereabouts of its complicity in the massacre is not so different from Georges' recognition of his own culpability with respect to Majid. Though - as he argues in his defense - he was only six at the time, and certainly didn't understand the larger issues, he was certainly aware that he was the privileged one of the two, and he used his position to preserve that status, at the expense of Majid (whose parents, you'll recall, had just been murdered by Papon's thug police force).
Perhaps in much the same way as the tapes and drawings brought Georges back to the events of his youth, reports and stories on the '61 Massacre began percolating into the public's consciousness, causing something of a moral reckoning by French society. The placing of a commerative plaque may strike most as a rather feeble act of contrition, but the recognition of what occurred those many years ago is certainly something of a step forward. If we are to draw parallels (and I think we're meant to), then that's a step that Georges has arguably taken, though perhaps only to the same small degree as the larger society. And perhaps it's a step his mother's not prepared to take, preferring as she does that such things remain well hidden, buried in the past and of no consequence today... at least for her.
This scene [the television news accounts of Third World travesties] bothered me somewhat. I felt just the opposite. Yes, you should mind your child, your business, first and foremost. It's nice to have western countries to help third-world countries humanitarianly but I don't think third-world countries would want interference from westerns be it conservative way or liberal way. The world will always be full of problems. You can't get rid of it. The best thing you can do though is to be fair, not taking side. any side.
As I said, I understand why Georges and Anne would be preoccupied with their missing child. But the question is much different for us, the viewers. By placing the television in the center of the frame and marginalizing Georges and Anne, Haneke posits an instructive dilemma: should we be more interested in the objectively inconsequential personal crisis at hand, or should the widespread catastrophe of the Third World be of greater significance? [In the United States, we are subject to an almost endless litany of "missing blonde girl" stories, inevitably from privileged backgrounds representative of the dominant class. These stories apparently bring massive ratings to the cable news networks, and displace such trivialities as war, poverty, disease, depletion of resources, destruction of the planet, and other dirty things we'd rather ignore.]
You suggest that "it's nice" for Westerners to help the Third World in humanitarian terms, but you ultimately say it's best "not taking sides". I think Haneke wanted you (or at least a Western bourgeois viewer) to take note of Western culpability for those problems. You know... we broke it, and now we simply move on, sweeping the pieces under the rug of our collective amnesia (or rationalizations of innocence), while leaving the shattered regions in our wake as we live comfortably above it all, having already exploited its peoples and resources. Much as Georges' mother has done (despite her offered gesture of noblesse oblige ultimately withdrawn as a result of Georges' childish treacheries); much as Georges himself has done.

Sorry, Richard. I didn't have too much time as I wanted recently. I'm just checking back and I'm glad you replied. I appreciated it. It will make people understand this film better, or warn them in advance. For me, It certainly will make my second viewing more enjoyable.
My take on political message in the film I will describe below together with the television scene.
I think what turned me off most about the scene is what Haneke showed on TV. He didn't show human suffering. No Darfur. No the great Tsunami. No the ice poles melted. No hurricane devastation. He showed Iraq. He showed Palestine. In other words, he showed politic. And both are complicated issue with no clear good side or bad side that people can agree upon. Personally, I want the filmakers to do their jobs: making good film (which Hidden is but can be better) instead of preaching politic that they're not too intelligent about.
If he want to tell a story about France massacre of Algerians. Fine. Make it interesting. Kubrick did great anti-war film called Dr.Strangelove and everyone can enjoy it wheter you are pro or anti military. Casablanca is great pro-war and everyone can also enjoy it even though you're not much eager to join WWII. Tell a good story, don't push your agenda.
Hidden is interesting enough but in the wrong way.
IMO if Haneke want to end the film the way he did. He needed to re-balance it. The first half is too realistic, too menacing. He didn't prepare his audience well enough for this kind of ending. He can always ask David Lynch for tips. Look at Mulholland Drive, it's superb. they both are the same "one story disguised as another". The difference is Lynch prepared his audience really well while Haneke hanged on too much to the who-dun-it trick.
Properly or not, the ongoing warfare in Iraq and Palestine is viewed as the modern day equivalent of traditional Western colonial aggression. And, of course, one should not forget that Israel and Palestine and the current incarnation of Iraq exist as they do because of the actions of the Western colonial powers. As I'm sure you know, "we" (that is, "the Western Colonial Powers") created the modern states of Israel and Iraq (representing the cobbling together of three indigenous ethnic/religious groups: the Kurds, the Shia, and the Sunni). Thus, the situations there more easily fit the themes and plot of "Cache" in a way that polar ice-cap melting, tsunamis, and the ethnic-cleansing in Darfur resist. I understand that your political concerns and opinions do not coincide with Haneke's, but neither would they work for his film.
You go on to say that Iraq and Palestine represent "complicated issue[s] with no clear good side or bad side". Haneke may well by less ambivalent than you on the question, but the ambiguity of right and wrong in complex situations also better fits the theme and plot of "Cache" than something like the more obvious symptoms of climate change.
If he want to tell a story about France massacre of Algerians. Fine. Make it interesting. Kubrick did great anti-war film called Dr.Strangelove and everyone can enjoy it wheter you are pro or anti military.
Kubrick made another great anti-war film a decade before called "Paths of Glory". Upon its release in 1957, it was immediately banned in France by the very same government that ruled over the '61 Paris Massacre and its subsequent cover-up. After engaging in this conversation with you for that last week or so, I wonder where your sympathies would lie back in '57. I suspect you would have been condemning "Paths of Glory" for the same reasons. It is, after all, "political", and it did, after all, divide audiences.
Casablanca is great pro-war and everyone can also enjoy it even though you're not much eager to join WWII. Tell a good story, don't push your agenda.
If you want an easy cinema where none of your preconceptions are challenged, and no themes that might make you uncomfortable are explored, then stick to typical Hollywood product and network televison. These are enormous industries that make fistfuls of money on what is basically an easy formula: alienate no one, say nothing at all of any consequence, and always endeavor to appear to be all things to all people. This is what we commonly refer to as "shooting for the lowest common denominator". Mindless eye-candy is the ideal product of these industries, and the mindless zombies consume it greedily.
Haneke, on the other hand, is a provocateur, an artist, a finger-wagging moralist, even. His films are indictments, not panderings to pre-existing prejudices. I'm quite certain he would consider your desire that he steer clear of the difficult issues, as well as your affinity for narratives that don't challenge you in any particular way, to be the height of bourgeois complacency. And highly immoral. In a very direct and specific way, everything you say Haneke should do is everything he's been fighting against his entire career. If your last post is a true indication of your feelings on such matters, then you have to understand that Haneke truly despises everything you stand for.

Richard, tremendous description of the appeal of this masterpiece. Even though it was released in 2005, the movie has overwhelmed my cinematic viewing for this year, overshadowing everything else, even the latest by the Dardennes (another fantastic film, BTW.)

Despite the limits imposed on Georges behavior weakening the mystery aspect, Cache remains a great film.

Really... And how did you come to the conclusion that this critically acclaimed film... "sucks"?

Since you constantly overpraise average to mediocre films after having seen them, I'd say that in your case, viewing a film before passing judgement doesn't make one damn bit of difference.

Typhoon Molave is forecast to slam into Vietnam's south-central coast with sustained winds of up to 135 kilometres (84 miles) per hour: Vietnam scrambles to evacuate more than a million people in its central lowlands
Credit Joint Typhoon Warning Centre
Vietnam scrambled Tuesday to evacuate more than a million people in its central lowlands as a strong typhoon approached while some regions are still dealing with the aftermath of recent killer floods, state media said. Typhoon Molave is forecast to slam into Vietnam's south-central coast with sustained winds of up to 135 kilometres (84 miles) per hour on Wednesday morning, according to the official Vietnam News Agency.
The typhoon left at least 3 people dead and 13 missing and displaced more than 120,000 villagers in the Philippines before blowing toward Vietnam. Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc ordered provincial authorities late Monday to prepare to evacuate about 1.3 million people in regions lying on the typhoon's path. "We must keep our guard up to protect the lives of the people. That is the utmost important task to get people to safe places," Phuc was quoted as saying in an emergency meeting with officials in charge of disaster response.
Those living in vulnerable, low-lying areas will head to sturdier shelters inland. The number of people to be evacuated may shrink as the typhoon's path becomes more certain. Phuc expressed fears that Molave, the latest disturbance to threaten Vietnam this month, could be as deadly as Typhoon Damrey, which battered the country's central region in 2017 and left more than a hundred people dead.
The central provinces of Quang Binh, Quang Tri and Hue were hit hard by severe flooding and landslides that killed 136 people and left dozens missing early this month. Torrential rains are expected in the still-flooded and isolated region, Vietnam News said. In the Philippines, most of the people who left their high-risk communities for shelters during the storm were starting to return home after the weather cleared. A small number of evacuees whose houses were destroyed or blown away will stay longer in evacuation centres until they find new shelters.

Traveling is one of my all-time favorite past times. I love experiencing new cultures and part of that is trying their food (which often leads to unhealthy eating). Add in airports, hotels, the *on vacation* and *might never be here again* mindset, and you are in for a series of less than healthy decisions.
I used to never workout when I traveled and it makes a huge difference. Even if it is going for a 30-minute walk in the morning, or a 20-minute at home workout, I do something every morning now when I am on the road. It also helps when I come back home and am trying to get back into things.
I get the wanting to let loose mentality when traveling but try to keep it at a reasonable amount. The second you get through security to your departure flight is usually not the best time to order drinks. I see so many people at the bars in airports and this is one of the top ways to get your trip off on an unhealthy start.
Do not assume hotels, airplanes or airports will have what you want when you get there. I always pack meals (usually oatmeal) on plane flights which are over 3 hours. I bring an abundance of snacks, and even bring my own organic coffee + tea. Traveling wrecks havoc on your immune system and ensuring you have foods which are nutritious is key. I brought the Immunity Now tea (you can find it by clicking here) from Lifestyle Awareness on my last trip + loved it! I went to the coffee shop in the airport and asked for hot water, placed my tea bag in the cup and voila.
Not sleeping is another way to stress your immune system. If you have a late flight, give yourself time to sleep in the next day. If you find yourself running around like crazy, take a 20 minute afternoon nap before dinner to recharge.
I hope these tips help you stay healthy on your next trip! Being healthy while traveling makes it so much easier to get back into things when you are home.
If you are looking for a new go-to pair of leggings, the ones seen above are it! I always wear them on flights and long drives — you can find them here.

Loretánský poklad v Praze, nazývaný též Loretánská klenotnice je rozsáhlá sbírka několika set liturgických a votivních uměleckých předmětů, šperků i užitkového nářadí a nádobí, uchovávaná řádem menších bratří kapucínů v pražské Loretě. Po Svatovítském pokladu Metropolitní kapituly je druhou nejcennější chrámovou klenotnicí v České republice.

Historie
Předměty byly shromažďovány od založení Lorety v roce 1626, zprvu především zakladatelkou Benignou Kateřinou z Lobkovic (̝1594-1653). Pocházejí převážně z období baroka. V letech 1699 až 1702 pro něj byla vybudována zvláštní místnost v přízemí ambitu. V období 2. světové války byla sbírka ukryta před nacisty v suterénu pod ambity tak, že vstup a větrací okénka byla zazděna. V letech 1950-1951 byla sbírka objevena, vyzvednuta a zkonfiskována. Část převzalo Uměleckoprůmyslové muzeum v Praze, další část Národní muzeum v Praze. Nejvýznamnější předměty byly převedeny pod správu Muzea hl. m. Prahy. Tento soubor precios a parament byl do roku 1965 restaurován a přesunut do dvou nově zabezpečených trezorových místností v 1. patře, kde je vystavena dosud. Kromě pokladu byly v 60. letech 20. století v ambitu vystaveny také pravoslavné ikony. Po návratu kapucínů do kláštera roku 1990 následovala restituce a sbírky byly opět sjednoceny pod vlastní správu řádu.

Obsah sbírek
Poklad tvoří preciosa (tj. předměty z drahých kovů k účelům liturgie a kultu), paramenta (chrámové textilie), utensilia (původně užitkové předměty), šperky, sochy a obrazy.

Stálá expozice

Nejstarší předměty

Accuracy of alcohol testing an important matter in drunk-driving cases, P.1
On behalf of Law Offices of Charles L. Waechter | Nov 6, 2015 | Drunk Driving
In drunk-driving prosecution, accuracy is an important matter. One particular area where this is true is when it comes to determining a suspected drunk-driver's blood alcohol concentration. In terms of drunk-driving penalties, the specific blood alcohol concentration a defendant is found to have had at the time of arrest can impact not only criminal penalties but also administrative penalties.
In Maryland, drunk-driving charges can be classified as either DUI or DWI depending on the driver's blood alcohol content. When a driver has a blood-alcohol content between .07 and .08, the offense is considered to be driving while impaired. When the driver's blood alcohol concentration is .08 or greater, he or she can be charged with driving under the influence, a more serious offense.
In terms of the evidence needed for conviction, a defendant's blood alcohol concentration can also have an important impact. In cases where a motorist's blood alcohol concentration is over .08, prosecutors can argue that the defendant was "under the influence per se." In other words, prosecutors are able to secure a conviction as long as they are able to establish that the blood alcohol test was accurate. By contrast, when the blood alcohol content is less than .08, prosecutors usually have to use a variety of factors in the case to demonstrate intoxication, which can make it more difficult to convict, depending on the case.
Penalties associated with drunk-driving are dependent not only on a defendant's criminal history, but also on his or her blood alcohol concentration. On the criminal side of a case, this can impact fines and jail time, and on the administrative side, it can impact the length of time his or her license is suspended as well as other administrative penalties.
In our next post we'll continue this discussion, focusing particularly on the accuracy of blood alcohol testing in drunk-driving cases.

Where is Aula when you need her?
So who is looking forward to the episode tomorrow?
I can't wait for tomorrow's episode. Pirates should be cool. And I want to see what peril the Doctor puts them in this time. And whether Rory falls for the siren and if Amy gets jealous. I'd love to see Amy get jealous and insecure for once.
That would be good after all she puts Rory through. You have to feel sorry for him really.
Yes. Absolutely agree. Tired of Rory getting constantly jealous. Time for Amy to get jealous.
That'd make such a cool poster.
I'm not sure I could do boots especially in the summer What would be a good alternative?
Just wear some black shoes.

Zdravilo Alli (GlaxoSmithKline) se, hkrati z dieto, uporablja za zdravljenje debelosti ob izrazito prekomerni telesni masi. Alli je zdravilo, ki vsebuje zdravilno učinkovino orlistat. To učinkovino vsebuje tudi zdravilo Xenical, ki je že odobreno v Evropski uniji. Alli vsebuje 60mg orlistata, Xenical pa 120mg. Je prvo in edino zdravilo za zmanjšanje telesne mase, ki je v lekarnah na voljo z izdajo brez recepta, z dovoljenjem za promet v Evropski uniji. Alli je kapsula, ki deluje v kombinaciji z nizkokalorično dieto z zmanjšanim vnosom maščob in podpornim programom. Veže se na nekatere naravne telesne encime, ki razgrajujejo maščobe. Tako preprečuje prebavo in absorpcijo določene količine zaužitih maščob, neprebavljene maščobe pa se izločijo iz telesa po naravni poti.

Kakovostna in količinska sestava
Ena trda kapsula vsebuje 60 mg orlistata.

Farmacevtska oblika
Zdravilo je na voljo v obliki trde kapsule, ki ima temno modro sredinsko črto, ovoj in pokrovček kapsule sta turkizne barve z napisom »alli«.

Terapevtske indikacije
Zdravilo alli je indicirano za zmanjševanje telesne mase pri odraslih s čezmerno telesno maso (indeks telesne mase ITM ≥ 28 kg/m2), ob hkratni nizkokalorični dieti z zmanjšanim vnosom maščob.

Odmerjanje in način uporabe
Priporočeni odmerek zdravila alli za odrasle osebe je ena 60 mg kapsula trikrat na dan. Kapsulo je treba vzeti z vodo tik
pred ali med vsakim glavnim obrokom ali do 1 uro po njem. Če bolniki po 12 tednih zdravljenja z zdravilom alli niso uspeli zmanjšati telesne mase, naj se pogovorijo z zdravnikom ali farmacevtom.
Dieta in telesna dejavnost sta pomembna dejavnika programa izgubljanja telesne mase. Dieto in program telesne dejavnosti je priporočljivo začeti že pred uvedbo zdravljenja z zdravilom alli in nadaljevati po prenehanju zdravljenja.

Neželeni učinki
Najpogostejši neželeni učinki zdravila Alli so povezani s prehranjevanjem, ki jih je v veliki meri moč nadzorovati. So gastrointestinalne narave, večinoma so blagi, pojavijo se na začetku zdravljenja, njihov pojav pa je manj verjeten, če uporabnik sledi dieti z malo maščobami. Najpogostejši neželeni učinki povezani s prehranjevanjem so vetrovi (napenjanje) z ali brez oljnih madežev, nenadna potreba po iztrebljanju, mastno ali oljnato blato, mehko blato.

Dovoljenje za prodajo
21. januarja 2009 je Evropska agencija za zdravila izdala dovoljenje za prodajo zdravila brez recepta.

Beyond Christianish. Last week we began our sermon series called, 'Beyond Christian-ish', as we ask what genuine discipleship looks like. This week, we look at the progression from being 'lost' to becoming a 'believer'.


Miss C is attending her middle school's end-of-year formal dance this evening. It's not Prom, but the girls wear fancy dresses and the boys wear suits and ties. Because we're putting all the kids into German schools beginning this fall, this may be the only opportunity she experiences a formal dance, so we allowed her to ask an American friend from our village if he wants to come along as her date.
As she stood in front of me, putting on mascara (bottom pic), all I could see was her putting on my lip gloss as a two-year-old (top pic)!!!
And as you can see in this photo, too, Martin wasn't too keen on all the glamour back then in 2005, either.
It's going to be a busy night for Miss C, and all after a busy day for Martin and me. I will share more soon!


What the New Testament says about Women in Ministry ? - Would You Consider?

What the New Testament says about Women in Ministry ?
By ccree in Bible Lessons - mini, Commentary on August 10, 2014 .
Thirty years ago there was an awful fuss about women serving in the Church in some official capacity as though they should be limited to the Cs – cooking, choir and children.
The advantage of having years of looking back is that one can see patterns and I see no difference between then and now. Many men do little to move the Kingdom forward and the presence of some women ministers is of meager value as well. Then there are women doing mighty works for God and some men as well. In other words, the leadership of the church of God wherever it exists takes on the coloring of the membership. If the congregation is OK with theological pabulum, fine. If they want something more, they will get that.
The chief argument against women is Paul's famous requirement that women not speak.
Check it out folks; the law of God says nothing of the kind. The command comes from Jewish legal writings known as Mishnah and Gemara which have no bearing on Christian belief or practice, any more than their food laws do. The Law Of God is simply the 1st 5 books of Moses – Period. The rest is prophets, history, Psalms and worship material and common sense writings.
Paul more than any other writer says nothing under the Jewish legal system has any effect on people under grace – that is we Christians. He is throwing old Jewish law back at the readers to tell them what path they are on.
So here is what we find. There are many believers who are very comfortable living under the old law. Whole denominations live under the law, as Christians, with little freedom to move forward for the Kingdom. Please remember. That is their choice and Free Will is always the program of God. He will not countermand your desire to live wherever you faith system is comfortable.
My friend Wanda, a missionary to Belize, did all the preaching, teaching and counseling and her husband did all the cooking, an arrangement which brought hundreds into the Kingdom and the natives were happy. You know that kind of arrangement would not fly in many parts of the USA.
There are penalties for living in less than God wants but that is between you and Him. God is used to this law-business.
When the going gets tough trying to obey God, there is always a group headed back into trouble, sin and death. When we stay fixed in our theology or position, how can we move on? And many individuals, denominations and congregations do not.
Denominational life has its focus on buildings, money, jockeying for position, and satisfaction in what they have. Opening up the ministry to women forces them to change, to widen their tents, and look at the world the way God does. God still speaks to His people within the confines they have set up for Him. He uses everyone and everything if He can. And if He can't, then He finds other people to do the work.
The decision is not what others want, but what God wants for you. Choosing God's will for your life leads to an overwhelming confidence. Confidence comes from 2 words – con meaning with and fideo, a Latin word meaning faith. If you are with God in His will your confidence will empower you and frighten others. But not to worry, let God handle that.

When talking strategy development with clients I am sometimes confronted with the view that marketing strategy is something the marketing team looks after. A process that starts once an organisation's business strategy has been developed. I think this is fundamentally flawed - in fact your marketing strategy, developed out of your competitive advantage, is a core part of your business strategy and, if approached correctly, can be a key driver of success in the market.
We hope you find something of interest - click here to read the full newsletter.
And finally, wishing you and yours all the best for a happy and relaxing Christmas!

Homenewsxrp price prediction where is the utility token going in 2023 and beyond
XRP Price Prediction – Where is the Utility Token Going In 2023 and Beyond?
ByPrateek Arora
Updated: 08 January 2023
Ripple, the once second most capitalized cryptocurrency after Bitcoin, underwent a painful decline over the last couple of years. However, the XRP price has seen a slant increase of 2.7% in the last 24 hours and is currently selling for$0.35. Will the XRP price go up from here on out, or should we wait for another disappointing year for this token?
What is XRP?
Ripple is a cryptocurrency created by the technology company Ripple Labs in 2012. It aims to enable fast, cheap and trustless transactions, particularly for cross-border payments. The XRP cryptocurrency is used to facilitate these transactions, which are verified by a select group of participants known as the Unique Node Lists(UNLs).
XRP transactions are intended to be faster and cheaper than those of other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. These transactions are secured using the XRP Ledger, a permissionless network of peer-to-peer servers that uses the Federated Consensus algorithm to validate new blocks.
The XRP token gets its utility as being the primary token for all network operations on Ripple and serving as a mechanism of exchange between two currencies.
Ripple has attracted partnerships with banks and payment providers such as American Express and Bank of America. However, the decentralization of XRP has been questioned due to the pre-mining and distribution of 100 billion XRP tokens at launch, as well as the involvement of for-profit company Ripple in the XRP ecosystem.
Ripple aims to be the primary settlement currency for all financial institutions and it is one of a kind project that's already quite successful, making it an attractive consideration for investment.
XRP From A Technical Standpoint
The XRP cryptocurrency has had a volatile history, with a market value that has fluctuated significantly. At its all-time high, XRP was worth $3.84, but it has since fallen by more than 90% to its current value of $0.3401. Despite this, the currency has still increased in value by 11951.24% since its all-time low. when the bull market for cryptocurrencies ended In early 2022 The XRP price dropped significantly.
XRP currently finds its resistance at $0.4358, followed by $0.5287, with support at $0.30 and $0.25 price levels. XRP is currently competing with other top cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, but it is predicted to maintain its position as a good investment opportunity, currently ranked #6 on coinmarketcap.com
Ripple In Trouble- CEO Expects A Victory
The SEC filed a lawsuit against Ripple Labs and its top executives, Christian Larsen and Brad Garlinghouse, on December 22, 2020, alleging that they had raised $1.3 billion through the sale of unregistered securities (XRP) and making $600 million in the process personally.
The SEC argued that XRP should be classified as a security and fall under their jurisdiction rather than a cryptocurrency. If the SEC prevails in the lawsuit, it wouldn't be a good sign for the cryptocurrency industry and significantly impact the value of XRP.
In April 2021, the judge in the case granted Ripple access to the SEC's internal documents, leading to a temporary increase in the value of XRP. In August 2022, Judge Sarah Netburn granted Ripple's motion to obtain video recordings for authentication and criticized the SEC for its "hypocrisy" and actions indicating that it was "adopting its litigation positions to further its desired goal, and not out of a faithful allegiance to the law."
If Ripple wins the lawsuit, it may be able to compete with the SWIFT banking system. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has mentioned the possibility of the company going public after the resolution of the lawsuit, which could also affect the value of XRP. He believes that the current price of XRP has already accounted for the possibility of Ripple losing the case, but he personally anticipates a victory for Ripple due to his belief that "the facts are on our side" and "the law is on our side."

There are many uncertainties surrounding the future of XRP in the cryptocurrency market in 2023, particularly due to the ongoing SEC V Ripple case. If Ripple is successful in this case, it is expected that there will be high demand for XRP, leading to an increase in its valuation. In the market recovery following the "crypto winter," it is predicted that the maximum price of XRP will be $0.612673, with a minimum expected price of $0.408449 and an average price of around $0.510561.
XRP Price Prediction For 2025 and Beyond
It is predicted that by 2025, XRP will experience significant growth due to increased acceptance of cryptocurrencies in various industries, and thus, it will become the settlement layer for most of those. The price of XRP is expected to range from a low of $1.09 to a high of $1.29, with an average price of around $1.19. The year 2025 can very well be the year for XRP to reach its previous high of $1, as anticipated by most users.
For now, uncertainty is a constant, and therefore, it's fair for investors to divert their attention to other crypto tokens while the matter is resolved.
With so many exciting, successful pre-sales that took place in 2022, it's fair to conclude that investors' optimism for new projects hasn't faded off, although the current crypto market scenario may not be the most exciting. A bunch of other projects are still continuing their presale, and one name that pops out is FightOut.
FightOut is a fitness app and gym chain that combines real-life workouts with competition in the metaverse. It is the first company to offer this combination. The company's access token, FGHT, is currently on sale for $0.01665, and there is no minimum or maximum purchase amount.
FightOut is aiming to raise up to $100 million in funding to transform the $96 billion health and fitness industry, which it sees as stuck in the past. The company raised over $1 million in its private sale in December and is now in the first round of its public sale- raising well over $2.7 million so far.
FightOut tracks more than just steps and offers a holistic approach to fitness, rewarding users for adopting healthy lifestyles. It also has an avatar that is tied to the user's in-app self and cannot be traded. FightOut plans to roll out up to 20 gyms in the next 12-18 months and aims to have a presence in every major city in the world within 5 years. Visit FightOut's official website if you want to become part of this project as it hits the ground running in early 2023.
