Growing evidence of microplastics in food chain, committee hears
Evidence of microplastics along the food chain is growing and is becoming a real cause for concern, an Oireachtas committee heard today.
Speaking at a hearing on proposed microbeads legislation, Dr Kevin Lynch of the Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology (GMIT) said microplastics are becoming a "significant problem" in Ireland.
The Bill in question, introduced by the Government in late 2016, looks to restrict the manufacture, import, export or sale of certain products containing microbeads. Just eight countries across the world – including Canada, France, and the UK – have imposed a ban on microbeads.
Microbeads are tiny pieces of plastic found by the hundreds of thousands in shower gels, face-scrubs and toothpaste. They do not biodegrade and persist for a very long time in the environment, with a half-life of hundreds of years.
There are up to 95,000 particles in one tube of the toothpaste, while microbeads in personal care products and detergents contribute 2,000 to 3,000 tonnes of microplastics per year.
Dr Lynch said that there is enough evidence available for the Irish Government to take action based on the precautionary principle to "stop additional microplastics from entering the environment".
He added that we need "real leadership" to do something in this space now and that the Bill is one step toward tackling the wider microplastics issue.
He warned that there is growing evidence of microplastics making their way up the food chain as they are consumed by smaller organisms that are then consumed by larger aquatic predators.
"There is evidence that it is in the food chain and that is a real cause for concern," Dr Lynch said. GMIT researchers recently examined the Dublin Bay prawn and mussel populations, recording low levels of microplastics in their intestinal tracts.
Dr Lynch's colleague Dr Anne Marie Mahon outlined her research into the origins of microplastics in Ireland, with accidental spillages from plastics processing companies found to be a significant source.
Industry spillage on the factory floor and outside of premises can potentially run off to storm drains and also directly into freshwater streams, she said. She said that "Effective waste management and change of industrial practices" could decrease the leakage of microplastics from industry.
GMIT is set to carry out new research in this area, sampling sewer drains and watercourses close to facilities. The researchers are also set to examine the levels of microplastics coming from the construction industry and also from AstroTurf football pitches.

Microplastics in sewage sludge
Dr Mahon said that, while around 90 per cent of microplastics are captured at wastewater treatment centers, a percentage may be ending up back on land as sewage sludge spread as fertiliser for crops.
GMIT is intensifying its investigations in this area, she said, taking core samples to see if microplastics are present in the soil and to monitor any movement from the land to freshwater or groundwater.
Technological upgrades and improved waste management of sludge would help combat this issue and help quell the movement of microplastics from terrestrial sources to the marine environment, she said.
The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) recently found that concentrated levels of microplastics are more likely to be found in sewage sludge applied as fertiliser than in our oceans. In January, the chemicals regulator also proposed a wide-ranging ban on "intentionally added" microplastics from various products.
Starting in 2020, the new limitations will cover 90 per cent of products and prohibits their use within the EU. Industries such as cosmetics, farming and medicine are among those that may have to redesign their products in line with the new restrictions.
A fraction of the problem
Siobhan Dean, the Director of the Irish Cosmetics & Detergents Association, said that the sector is taking the microplastics issue "very seriously" even though it is not a key contributor to the problem.
Less than one per cent of microplastic pollution comes from the cosmetics industry, she said, with more significant pollution coming from secondary sources such as car tyres and fibres from clothing.
Speaking before the committee last year, Dr Mahon said that microbeads make up only two to three per cent of microplastic and that a ban on cosmetic microbeads would only solve a fraction of the problem.
In 2015, Cosmetics Europe recommended that member of the European trade association discontinue the use of microbeads in wash-off cosmetic and personal care products by 2020.
Ms Dean said that Cosmetic Europe members have already decreased the use of microbeads for cleansing and exfoliating in cosmetic and personal care products by 97 per cent.
She called on the Government to alter the definition of microbeads in the Bill as it is "too broad". As worded, the definition could potentially lead to the likes of pacifiers being removed from the Irish market.

Microplastics legislation
Senator Grace O'Sullivan of the Green Party questioned why the Bill is only looking at microbeads and not also secondary microplastics such as fibres from clothing.
In December, Ms O'Sullivan told The Green News that the Bill lacks any concrete mechanism to examine the wider microplastics problem.
The Bill, she said, does not include any provision for increasing resources to monitor plastics in our environment, an element she will be "looking to strengthen" when it comes before the Seanad.
A seperate Bill brought forward by Ms O'Sullivan in 2016 looked to monitor all microplastics in Irish water systems as well as banning certain microbeads.
The then-Minister for Housing Simon Coveney TD blocked the Bill, stating that it failed to include detergents and scouring agents, and did not include sufficient investigative or enforcement powers.

This is a book about the modern experience of mortality — about what it's like to be creatures who age and die, how medicine has changed the experience and how it hasn't, where our ideas about how to deal with our finitude have got the reality wrong. As I pass a decade in surgical practice and become middle-aged myself, I find that neither I nor my patients find out current state tolerable. But I also have found it unclear what the answers should be, or even whether any adequate ones are possible. I have the writer's and scientist's faith, however, that by pulling back the veil and peering in close, a person can make sense of what is most confusing or strange or disturbing.
In Being Mortal: Illness, Medicine and What Matters in the End, surgeon Atul Gawande takes a close look at the processes of ageing and dying, and at how his patients, their families, and the medical system they turn to for help cope (or fail to cope) with the inescapable reality of mortality. Gawande's main argument is that the modern medical system has a hard time acknowledging that as the end approaches, people may have priorities that go beyond merely surviving for as long as possible; giving patients the best possible care involves confronting this fact and making sure their individual needs are met.
Jenny was right: Being Mortal is at times very difficult to read. It's also an excellent book — a thoughtful and compassionate examination of questions for which Atul Gawande doesn't always have an answer, but which he believes are worth asking anyway. Gawanda uses the story of his own father's final illness and death as an overall narrative frame for Being Mortal, and the result is personal and very moving. I struggled a bit with the second half or so, which switches from mainly focusing on old age to discussing terminal illnesses that can hit people at any age. But this just proves Gawande's main point, really: we don't like to think about these things, and that unwillingness to confront mortality isn't always good for us. So I'm very glad I read this book, even if it was difficult at times.
As I said, Being Mortal is a questioning book. It's also both compassionate and intellectually humble: for all his specialised knowledge and practical experience, Gawande never writes as someone who has all the answers and can bypass people's will to determine what's best for them — in fact, this is a model he rejects outright. On the other hand, he also has complicated feelings about the model modern doctors tend to follow instead: one where they give patients information about alternative options and then leave them to make a decision. Information is crucial and it's something patients and their families should have, but processing it in a highly emotionally charged situation is not always something human beings are able to do. This means they need openness and support, but this is difficult for doctors to provide when they don't necessarily know how to confront mortality themselves.
Gawande suggests that it might help if doctors and patients alike were willing to discuss the fact that curing illness and prolonging life are not the only possible approaches or the only priorities medicine is allowed to have. We don't always make choices that are 100% risk free and guarantee our safety when we're young and healthy; we should retain that ability as we age or become ill. Gawande believes that it's really important for people to retain a sense of authorship of their own lives, even if they're constrained by immutable circumstances. What we do within the parameters set by those circumstances is ours; one of the most difficult things about the way we currently deal with old age and illness, Gawande argues, is that it so often takes that sense of authorship away from people.
As I read Being Mortal, I learned a lot: not only about the challenges and realities of old age and terminal illness, but also about the importance of gerontology and palliative care and the specialised, contextual knowledge they use to help patients. I'll be surprised if I read a better work of non-fiction this year.
For more than half a century now, we have treated the trials of sickness, ageing and mortality as medical concerns. It's been an experiment in social engineering, putting our fates in the hands of people valued more for their technical prowess than for their understanding of human needs.
That experiment has failed. If safety and protection were all we sought in life, perhaps we could conclude differently. But because we seek a life of worth and purpose, and yet are routinely denied the conditions that might make it possible, there is no other way to see what modern society has done.
I am leery of suggesting the idea that endings are controllable. No one ever really has control. Physics and biology and accident ultimately have their own way in our lives. But the point is that we are not helpless either. Courage is the strength to recognize both realities. We have room to act, to shape our stories, though as time goes on it is within narrower and narrower confines. A few conclusions become clear when we understand this: that our most cruel failure in how we treat the sick and the aged is the failure to recognize that they have priorities beyond merely being safe and living longer; that the chance to shape one's story is essential to sustaining meaning on life; that we have the opportunity to refashion our institutions, our culture and our conversations in ways that transform the possibilities for the last chapters of everyone's lives.
They read it too: Reading the End, Sophisticated Dorkiness, you?
Between you and Jenny writing about this, I think I will get around to reading it myself. Especially as my parents age, these things are important to think about.
Same here, and that's both why I was glad to read it and why I really wanted to put it down, cover my ears with my hands, and sing LA LA LA LA LA loudly. That impulse is exactly what the book is about, which is both great and terrifying. Anyway, I think you'll like it a lot. Now I want to read Gawande's other books, because on top of everything else he's an excellent writer.
Ana -- This is a topic about which I generally feel it's easier to do the LA LA LA bit (and I'm sure I'm not alone). If I don't look at it, then it's not there and I don't have to deal with it, right? But obviously that's silly. Reading your review, I got the sense that this is a book I *need* to read, even if it's hard. And honestly, knowing what I do of some of Gawande's other work, I'm sure he's an incredible guide.
A friend of my sister's, Brad, just went through the health decline and then death of his father. He posted on Facebook about it in a very open way. When it was known that the father was nearing the end of his life, it was decided that the Brad's parents would move from Ohio to live with Brad's family a couple of states away in Illinois. Obviously, this increased the stress in the home with added responsibilities and concerns, but it also meant the creation of memories as Brad's daughters got to spend time with their grandfather nearly every day. Many friends gathered in support, especially as Brad was very open about when he needed help. It was still a very hard time.
I haven't read any Gawande yet, though I have Better on my shelves. Being Mortal is also one I know I must read. Thanks for your revew.

Is Rick Owens Gay? American Fashion Designer 'Rick Owens' Sexuality May Shock You!
Sunday, 18 December 2022, 04:24 GMT+0530
Rick Owens is a Californian-born American fashion designer from Porterville. Owens also has a line of furniture and a few "Diffusion" lines that are less expensive versions of his main line.
Richard Saturnino Owens was born in Porterville, California, on November 18, 1962. John Owens, who died in 2015, and Concepción "Connie" Owens raised him. His mom was born in Mexico.
Owens grew up in a Catholic family that was very conservative. After high school, he moved to Los Angeles, California, to study art at Otis College of Art and Design for two years.
He then went to Los Angeles Trade-Technical College to learn how to make patterns and drape clothes. This led to a job in the clothing business, where he made copies of designer clothes.

Is Rick Owens Gay?
Rick Owens and Michele Lamy
No, Rick Owens is Not Gay But According To Wikipedia He is Openly Bisexual. In 2006, Owens married Michèle Lamy. Lamy, who was born in 1944, is a French fashion and culture figure.
She has designed clothes, been a performer, made movies, and run a restaurant. She is married to Rick Owens. She is a co-founder of Owenscorp and is the Executive Manager of Art/Furniture for the company.
Artist Scarlett Rouge is Michèle Lamy's only child.
Rick Owens' Career
Owens opened a store on Hollywood Boulevard where his clothing line was sold in 1994. In 2003, he and his partner Michèle Lamy moved to Paris. There, he set up his home and studio in a five-story historic building that had been the offices of former French President Francois Mitterrand.
Since then, his collections for the runway have been shown in Paris. Owens and Michèle Lamy started their own clothing company, Owenscorp, in 2004. Owens said that working with Lamy was like asking a gypsy to plan a war with a fascist.
Owens's "Prehistoric" collection was shown at the Carpenters Workshop Gallery in London in 2013. Owens's color palette for this seven-piece collection goes from white to black without stopping. "The name of the show, "Prehistoric," refers to where people came from and makes you think of a mysterious ancient civilization. It has the air of a spiritual ritual, an old ceremony, and the highest power ".
Owens won the Perry Ellis Award for new talent in 2002 and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) in 2017. He has also won the Cooper-Hewitt Design Award for fashion design and the Fashion Group International Rule Breaker Award.
The Triennale di Milano opened its first museum show, "Subhuman Inhuman Superhuman," on December 15, 2017. It was a retrospective of his work from the past 20 years. Owens won the 2019 Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Menswear Designer of the Year Award in June.
Owens has written three books: L'ai-je bien descendu?, which came out in 2007, Rick Owens, which came out in 2011, and Rick Owens Furniture. In November 2019, Rizzoli will publish two books about Larry LeGaspi.
He started five labels, such as Rick Owens, DRKSHDW, Rick Owens Lilies, Slab (which is no longer in business), and HUNRICKOWENS (previously "Palais Royal"). In 2018 and 2019, he worked with Birkenstock and with the French sneaker company Veja.

The second partnership went on for five seasons, and its end has been set for November 2021. Owens added to this list of collaborations in 2020 when he worked with Moncler and the American activewear brand Champion to make capsule collections.
In an interview with WWD in 2017, it was said that the brand made $120 million the year before. In the same interview, Owens said that his label would not accept money from corporations.
Owens devoted his 2019 fashion show to Larry LeGaspi, who he thinks of as his creative father.
"For me, as a youngster growing up in Porterville, California, what Larry LeGaspi did was a major thing—the way he invaded middle America with this subversive sensibility he connects with soul culture—black soul culture and music all of this coming together was really essential to this kid from Porterville," he said as he introduced Gaspi in his 2019 fall and winter women's runway collection.
And, "I do think of Larry's as a kind of biblical story… about the splendor of lust and sin, which I discuss frequently, but also about dissipation and decline, which I discuss frequently as well… I wanted to get drunk when I was 15.
And now, I kind of am. But you also have to take care of yourself." Owens went back to Los Angeles in November 2019 to talk about the books for the first time in 16 years.

Ingoushka Petrov was born in Warsaw, Poland, to a father of Russian and German descent and a Polish Jewish mother.[2] During World War II, she and her family were imprisoned in Stutthof concentration camp in Sztutowo, Free City of Danzig (present-day Nowy Dwór Gdański County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland).[1] She survived[3], and in Berlin, in the 1950s, married an American soldier, Laud Roland Pitt Jr., and moved to California. After her marriage failed she returned to Europe, but after a small role in a film, she took the shortened stage name "Ingrid Pitt" and headed to Hollywood, where she worked as a waitress while trying to make a career in films.
Nazi German Stutthof Concentration Camp, near Danzig (present-day Gdansk), Poland, where Holocaust survivor Ingrid Pitt and her family were detained for three years, and later escaped. It is now a memorial museum.
Acting career[edit]
In the early 1960s, Pitt was a member of the prestigious Berliner Ensemble, under the guidance of Bertolt Brecht's widow Helene Weigel. In 1965, she made her film debut in Doctor Zhivago, playing a minor role. In 1968, she co-starred in the low-budget science-fiction film The Omegans, and in the same year, played British spy Heidi Schmidt in Where Eagles Dare opposite Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood.
Ingrid Pitt appeared as Queen Galleia of Atlantis in The Time Monster, which was the fifth serial of the ninth season of Doctor Who, broadcast in six weekly parts, from 20 May and 24 June 1972. She returned to Doctor Who as Dr Solow in Warriors of the Deep, which was the first serial of the 21st season of the show, broadcast in four twice-weekly parts from 5 January to 13 January 1984. Pitt also appears in the second broadcast episode of the short-lived cult ITC series The Zoo Gang, "Mindless Murder" (12 April 1974).
Her work with Hammer Film Productions elevated her to cult figure status. She starred as Carmilla/Mircalla in The Vampire Lovers (1970), based on Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's novella Carmilla, and played the title role in Countess Dracula (1971), based on the legends about Countess Elizabeth Báthory. Pitt also appeared in the Amicus horror anthology film The House That Dripped Blood (1971) and had a small part in The Wicker Man (1973).
In the mid-1970s, she appeared on the judging panel of the British ITV talent show New Faces.[4]
During the 1980s, Pitt returned to mainstream films and television. Her role as Fraulein Baum in the 1981 BBC Playhouse Unity, who is denounced as a Jew by Unity Mitford (Lesley-Anne Down), was uncomfortably close to her real-life experiences. Her popularity with horror film buffs had her in demand for guest appearances at horror conventions and film festivals. Other films in which Pitt has appeared outside the horror genre are: Who Dares Wins (or The Final Option), Wild Geese II, and Hanna's War. Generally cast as a villainess, her characters often died horribly at the end of the final reel. "Being the anti-hero is great – they are always roles you can get your teeth into."
At this time, the theatre world also beckoned. Pitt founded her own theatrical touring company and starred in successful productions of Dial M for Murder, Duty Free (or Don't Bother to Dress), and Woman of Straw. She also appeared in many TV shows in the United Kingdom and the U.S.; among them Ironside, Dundee and the Culhane, and Smiley's People.
In 1998, Pitt narrated Cradle of Filth's Cruelty and the Beast album, although her narration was done strictly in-character as the Countess Elizabeth Báthory, as she portrayed in Countess Dracula.
In 2000, Pitt made her return to the big screen in The Asylum, starring Colin Baker and Patrick Mower and directed by John Stewart. In 2003, Pitt voiced the role of Lady Violator in Renga Media's production Dominator. The film was the UK's first computer-generated imagery animated film.
After a period of illness, Pitt returned to the screen in 2006 for the Hammer Films-Mario Bava tribute, Sea of Dust.
Writing career[edit]

Ingrid Pitt's first book, after a number of ill-fated tracts on the plight of Native Americans, was the 1980 novel, Cuckoo Run, a spy story about mistaken identity.[5] "I took it to Cubby Broccoli. It was about a woman called Nina Dalton who is pursued across South America in the mistaken belief that she is a spy. Cubby said it was a female Bond. He was being very kind."
This was followed in 1984 by a novelisation of the Peron era in Argentina (The Perons), where she lived for a number of years: "Argentina was a wild frontier country ruled by a berserk military dictatorship at the time. It just suited my mood."
In 1984, Pitt and her husband Tony Rudlin were commissioned to script a Doctor Who adventure. The story, entitled The Macro Men, was one of a number of ideas submitted by the couple after she appeared in the season-21 story arc Warriors of the Deep (1984). The plot concerned events surrounding the Philadelphia Experiment—the urban legend about a U.S. Navy experiment during World War II to try to make the USS Eldridge destroyer escort invisible to radar. Pitt and Rudlin had read it in The Philadelphia Experiment - Project Invisibility (1979) by paranormal writer Charles Berlitz, grandson of the founder of the Berlitz language schools. It involved the Doctor (Colin Baker) and companion Peri (Nicola Bryant) arriving on board the ship in 1943 in the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard and becoming involved in a battle against microscopic humanoid creatures native to Earth, but previously unknown to humankind. The couple had several meetings with script editor Eric Saward and carried out numerous revisions, but the story progressed no further than the preparation of a draft first-episode script under the new title "The Macros". The story was released in June 2010 by Big Finish Productions as The Macros in their Doctor Who: The Lost Stories audios, five months before Pitt's death.
In 1999, her autobiography, Life's a Scream (Heinemann) was published, and she was short-listed for the Talkies Awards for her own reading of extracts from the audio book, I Hate Being Second.
The autobiography detailed the harrowing experiences of her early life—in a Nazi concentration camp, her search through Europe in Red Cross refugee camps for her father, and her escape from East Berlin, one step ahead of the Volkspolizei. "I always had a big mouth and used to go on about the political schooling interrupting my quest for thespian glory. I used to think like that. Not good in a police state."
The Ingrid Pitt Bedside Companion for Ghosthunters (2003) was Pitt's tenth book. It was preceded by The Ingrid Pitt Bedside Companion for Vampire Lovers (1998) and The Ingrid Pitt Book Of Murder, Torture & Depravity (2000).
Pitt's credentials for writing about ghosts spring from a time when she lived with a tribe of Indians in Colorado. Sitting with her baby daughter, Steffanie, by a log fire, she was sure that she could see the face of her father smiling at her in the flames. "I told one of the others and he went all Hollywood Injun on me and said something like 'Heap good medicine'. I guess he was taking the mickey."
Other writing projects include a different look at Hammer Films entitled The Hammer Xperience. She also wrote a story under the pen name, Dracula Smith, which was illustrated within the fan club magazine.
Pitt wrote regular columns for various magazines and periodicals, including Shivers, TV & Film Memorabilia, and Motoring and Leisure. She also wrote a regular column, often about politics, on her official website, as well as a weekly column at UK website Den of Geek.[6] In 2008, she was added to the merchandising of Monster-Mania: The Magazine.[7]
In 2011, Avalard Publishing acquired the rights to Cuckoo Run (1980) and a number of other previously unpublished titles, including Annul Domini: The Jesus Factor (March 2012), a speculative novel about what would have happened if Jesus had never made it to Jerusalem.
Pitt's original novel Dracula Who...? was released in a limited edition by Avalard in October 2012 alongside the script for the unproduced film version. Dracula Who...? had the return of Countess Dracula, a role Ingrid had played on screen for Hammer Films.
Pitt married three times: Laud Roland Pitt Jr, an American GI; George Pinches, a British film executive; and Tony Rudlin, a writer and racing car driver. Her daughter from her first marriage, Steffanie Pitt-Blake, is also an actress.
She had a passion for World War II aircraft. After revealing this on a radio programme, she was invited by the museum at RAF Duxford to have a flight in a Lancaster bomber.[8] She held a student's pilot licence and a black belt in karate.[9]
Pitt died in a south London hospital on 23 November 2010, a few days after collapsing, and two days after her 73rd birthday, from congestive heart failure.[10]
Legacy project[edit]
Seven months before she died, Pitt finished narration for Ingrid Pitt: Beyond the Forest (2011), an animated short film on her experience in the Holocaust, a project that had been in the works for five years. Character design and storyboards were created by two-time Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Bill Plympton. The film is directed by Kevin Sean Michaels; co-produced and co-written by Jud Newborn, Holocaust expert and author, "Sophie Scholl and the White Rose"; and drawn by 10-year-old animator, Perry Chen. There will be a feature-length documentary, also by Michaels, to follow.[11][12][13]

Q: Capture RRC state log in android I am trying to capture RRC state logs which change time to time in mobile devices based on network usage .As of now the only way possible is to run special codes E.g "*#0011#" from dialer which is an inbuilt feature of device and cannot be run as a service in background.
Assuming i know the code to turn RCC state capture on, how can i log this in background in a file ?
Also is there anyway to capture and store logs that come up in adb logcat even when device is not connected to a computer ? assuming device keeps generating similar logs even when not connected to android adb shell.

Katt Williams has been in the news a lot lately. From possession of drugs and challenging fellow comedians to now being on video of him throwing a punch at a kid and getting into a full blown fight with the child, who is only in 7th grade. But what is really going on with Katt?
In his 2014 stand-up special "Katt Williams: Priceless," directed by Spike Lee, the highly sought-after comedian tells the crowd, "They arrested me five times in five cities in five days. What the f–k? I am not the International Man of Mystery." But with a number of public meltdowns and triumphs, Katt Williams' behavior does lead to many questions.
Here's a recent 2016 interview of Katt Williams speaking about the recent killings and Black Lives Matter.
Katt Williams was born in Cincinnati. He had himself emancipated at 13, and hitchhiked to Florida. As a teen, Williams traversed the country working for a carnival and did his first stand-up gig at a comedy club.
But Williams would soon find the road to fame littered with speed bumps of his own design, beginning with a charge of possession of a stolen gun at LAX in November 2006. The charge where he received three years probation.

Scout, Tenderfoot, Second Class,
and First Class Ranks
A Scout with a permanent physical or mental disability or a disability expected to last more than two years or beyond the 18th birthday and who is unable to complete all of the requirements for Scout, Tenderfoot. Second Class, or First Class rank may,. with his or her parent or guardian, submit a request to the council advancement committee to complete alternative requirements. Below are the procedures for applying for alternative requirements. To help facilitate this process, use the Individual Scout Advancement Plan, No. 512-936, which can be found at www.scouting.org/advancement. For more detailed information about alternative requirements, see the Guide to Advancement.
Do As Many Existing Requirements As Possible. Before applying for alternative requirements, as many of the existing requirements must be completed as possible.
Prepare a Request for Alternative Requirements. Once the Scout's best has been done to the limit of the Scout's abilities and resources, the unit leader or a troop committee member submits to the council advancement committee a written request for alternative requirements for Scout, Tenderfoot, Second Class, or First Class ranks. It must show what has been completed and suggest the alternatives for those requirements the Scout cannot do.
Secure a Medical Statement and Provide Supporting Documents. The request must be accompanied by supporting letters from the unit leader, a parent or guardian, and the Scout (if possible), as well as a written statement from a qualified health professional related to the nature of the disability. This may be, for example, a physician, neurologist, psychiatrist, psychologist, etc., or, when appropriate, an educational administrator In special education. Statements must describe the disability; cover the Scout's capabilities, limitations, and prognosis; and outline what requirements cannot be completed. Additional information such as Individualized Education Plans (IEP) provided to parents by schools, and various treatment summaries and reports, may help an advancement committee make an informed decision.
The Advancement Committee Reviews the Request. The council advancement committee reviews the request, utilizing the expertise of professionals involved with youth who have special needs. To make a fair determination, the committee may want to interview the Scout, the Scout's parents(s) or guardian(s), and the unit leader. The committee's decision is then recorded and delivered to the Scout and the unit leader.
(NOTE: The substitution of "trip" for "hike" in the footnote to Second Class requirement 1b does NOT require the procedure listed above. That substitution may be permitted by the unit leaders based on their understanding of the Scout's physical condition. )
Eagle Scout Rank
The Eagle Scout rank may be achieved by a Scout or a qualified 14 Venturer or Sea Scout who has a physical or mental disability by completing the Application for Alternative Eagle Scout Rank Merit Badges, No. 512-730, and by qualifying for alternative merit badges. This does not apply to individual requirements for merit badges. Merit badges are awarded only when all requirements are met as stated. See the Guide to Advancement, topic 10.2.2.3, for details.
The physical or mental disability must be of a permanent rather than of a temporary nature or a disability expected to last more than two years or beyond age 18. The application must include a written statement from a qualified health professional related to the nature of the disability. This person may be a physician, neurologist, psychiatrist, psychologist, etc., or, when appropriate, an educational administrator in special education.
Before applying, the Scout must earn as many of the Eagle-required merit badges as possible. However, where a permanent disability clearly precludes completing specific merit badges, a Scout who has earned at least First Class may apply for an alternative merit badge without waiting until all other Eagle-required merit badges are complete. Any alternatives must present the same challenge and learning level as those they replace, and must be completed prior to the 18th birthday unless the member is registered beyond the age of eligibility (reference Guide to Advancement, topic 10.1.0.1-10.1.0.2).
Obtain a clear and concise statement related to the nature of the disability from a qualified health professional.
The unit leader meets with the candidate and >the Scout's parent or guardian to determine the alternative merit badges to replace those impeding the Scout's advancement.
The unit leader, parent or guardian, and the Scout (if possible) prepare supporting letters to accompany the application.
The district and council advancement committees, in turn, review the proposed alternative merit badges. They may choose to speak with the Scout, the Scout's parent or guardian, or unit leader. If the council advancement committee approves, then the candidate may start work on the approved alternative merit badges.
Note: In approving the application, the district and council advancement committees must utilize the expertise of a health-care professional involved with youth who have disabilities.
Upon completion of the Eagle Scout rank requirements, using the alternative merit badges, the candidate appears before a board of review. The approved Application for Alternative Eagle Scout Rank Merit Badges must be attached to the Eagle Scout Rank Application.
Following a successful board of review, the council processes both applications and forwards them to the National Advancement Program Team. Local council action on alternative merit badges does not require national approval.
14 In order to be an Eagle Scout candidate, a Venturer or Sea Scout must have achieved First Class rank as a registered Scout or as a Lone Scout,

How did you first hear about Killing Buddha?
You reached out to me first. So I went to your site to check you out, and I ended up reading the Steve Maxwell interview top to bottom multiple times. It's one of my all time favourite things anywhere. I was so turned on to it that I then went to Steve's site, and I literally read every thing he's ever written. What was shocking was how little of it was about his philosophy. His life philosophy was fascinating. I couldn't get enough of it.
I thought to myself, 'This guy is doing something really unique. He's taking people and he's approaching a different side of them.' That was very impressive.
The type of interviewee that I think is ideal is someone who has a lot to say about life but doesn't necessarily have that information out there. A good example is Steve.
Another good example is my interview with Firas Zahabi.
I think one of the greatest philosophers of the last century is Bruce Lee. But he was known as a martial artist first. So people didn't necessarily approach him that way.
Can you talk a bit about how you grew up? What impact did your mom have on your success?
I actually don't talk about my childhood much because it wasn't that great.
I grew up in a single parent household with my mom working, going to school, and raising my brother and I as latchkey kids. We were very self-sufficient from a very early age. There was a lot of hardship, but everyone goes through hardship. But it did help me in a number of ways.
"Everyone that ends up becoming an extreme winner in society starts off as a loser."
We moved to the US when we were very young. I didn't have many friends, so I wasn't very confident. I spent a lot of time reading. My only real friends were books. Books make for great friends because the best thinkers of the last few thousand years tell you their nuggets of wisdom.
My mother uniquely provided, against the background of hardship, unconditional and unfailing love. If you have nothing in your life, but you have at least one person that loves you unconditionally, it'll do wonders for your self-esteem.
As I get older, I look for that same expression of love in other people, and I express it with my family and friends. Now I'm very happily married to an incredibly amazing woman. She's just the love of my life. I fell in love almost upon meeting her because she had that same ability to provide love that my mother did, not necessarily towards me, but towards her loved ones.
Everyone that ends up becoming an extreme winner in society starts off as a loser. If you're a popular kid, good looking, and have money, then you're just going to party and date a lot. Why would you stay inside and do pushups or read books? Make incredible art? To create anything great takes some suffering. And a bad hand early in life can turn out to be a good hand later on.
"Only through suffering do you have change and self-improvement."
It's ironic because we want to give everything to our children. But sometimes hardships can help you grow as a human being.
Yeah, it's a tough. Giving your kids everything prevents them from finding themselves.
I refer to your incredible Steve Maxwell interview. He said something along the lines that sometimes what you think is helping somebody is actually preventing them from learning their own life lesson. I can trace back all the truly great things that I am thankful for in my life to some incredible hardship.
Only through suffering do you have change and self-improvement. Maybe it's just me, but only through suffering do I make big changes. I think without suffering there isn't much progress because there isn't an impetus for change.
I spoke to Dr. Monika Ardelt, a psychology researcher who studies wisdom, and she said that the more negative experiences you have in life, the more opportunity you have to develop the skill of acceptance.
I think she is right. Some of it comes from acceptance, but some of it comes from change.
Our egos get constructed in our formative years, our first two decades. They get constructed by our environment, our parents, society. And then we spend the rest of our life trying to make our ego happy. So anything new that comes our way we interpret through our ego. How do I change the external world to make it more how I would like it to be?
"Usually when we suffer, we suffer twice."
There are two attractive things about suffering in the long term. One is that it can make you accept the world the way it is. The other thing is that it can make your ego change in an extremely hard way.
So maybe you're a competitive athlete and you get injured badly like Bruce Lee. Maybe you have to accept that being an athlete is not your entire identity and that you can forge a new identity as a philosopher.
What is suffering to you?
Actual real suffering is very rare. I would characterize real suffering as being experienced in the body, when you're sick or you're starving.
However, most suffering is mentally created. It's our thoughts and emotions. One overly technical definition of emotions is that you can think of them as the net present value of the future impact of the present moment as calculated by your genes.
Whereas I think of thoughts as the net present value as calculated by your mind, your memes.
Usually when we suffer, we suffer twice. Once through our emotions and once through our thoughts. So for example, when your loved one passes away, you suffer mentally because you think of all the great times you had and the great times you were going to have. But then you also suffer emotionally because of your genes.
It's very hard to keep that in mind when it's actually happening. That's where things like meditation and just getting older and wiser help you to distinguish between real suffering and mind and emotion made suffering.
So having practice of meditation can help you accept suffering whether it's a thought or an emotion?
Yeah. But it's amazing how little it helps [laughs].
You can be a long term meditator, but if someone says the wrong thing in the wrong way, you go back to your ego-driven self. It's almost like you're lifting one pound weights, but then somebody drops a huge barbell with a stack of plates on your head.
It's absolutely better than doing nothing. But when the actual moment of mental or emotional suffering arrives, it's still never easy.
"We don't always get what we want, but sometimes what is happening is for the best. The sooner you can accept it as a reality, the sooner you can adapt to it."
What does acceptance look like to you?
It's to be okay whatever the outcome is; to be balanced and centred about it; to step back and to see the grander scheme of things.
We don't always get what we want, but sometimes what is happening is for the best. The sooner you can accept it as a reality, the sooner you can adapt to it.
Achieving acceptance is very difficult. I have a couple of hacks that I try, but I wouldn't say they are totally successful.
One hack I try is stepping back and looking at previous bits of suffering I've had in my life. I write them down. 'Last time you broke up with somebody, last time you had a business failure, last time you had a health issue, what happened?' I can trace out the growth and improvement that came from that years later.
I have another hack that I use for minor annoyances. When they happen, there's a part of me that will instantly react negatively. But I've learnt to mentally ask myself what is the positive of this situation?
'Okay, I'll be late for that meeting. But what is the benefit to me? I get to relax and watch the birds for a moment. I'll also spend less time in that boring meeting.' There's almost always something positive.
To give you the simplest example: I was at an event and afterwards someone flooded my inbox with a whole bunch of photos they took.
There was a tiny instant judgment saying, 'Come on, couldn't you have just selected a few of the best? Who sends a hundred photos?' But then immediately I asked myself, 'What is the positive?' The positive is that I get to pick my five favourite photos. I get to use my judgment. I get selection and variety.
Over the last year, by practicing this hack enough, I've managed to go from taking a couple of seconds to think of a response to now my brain does it almost instantaneously. That's a habit you can train yourself to do.
What about handling a very difficult situation? Do you have any hacks that help you deal with them?
There is no end point to self-awareness and self-discovery. I think it's a lifelong process that you hopefully keep getting better and better at.
There is no one meaningful answer and no one is going to fully solve it, unless you're one of these enlightened characters. Maybe some of us will get there, but I'm not likely to, given how involved I am in the rat race. Best case is that I'm a rat that might be able to look up at the clouds once in awhile.
I think just being aware that you're a rat in a race is about as far as most of us are going to get.


"Formed in 1991, provides leadership and the provincial voice for Ontario's injured workers" .
They do not help injured workers on an individual basis, due to limited resources.
They can provide you with information for a local support group and if you do not have a local support group they can assist you in starting one.
All welcome to the monthly meeting – with a discussion on the Workers Comp Is a Right campaign.
The group is called Bright Lights because of earlier political concerns about the "unfunded liability"
Bright Lights meets the first Thursday of every month from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. noon with some social time together after at Injured Workers' Consultants - IWC.
Our group was formed in February 1999 with the assistance of Injured Workers Consultants (IWC).
Members are mainly workers who speak Chinese (Cantonese, Mandarin and other Chinese dialects).
Fight for injured workers' rights in the workplace, participate in law reform activities to protect and improve injured workers' rights.
Community meeting open to all – Injured workers are voters too!
On the agenda: Workers Comp Is a Right campaign outline; the three demands; the petition.
Group is in the initial stages of being setup.
If you are a member of a group that is not listed here, please use the contact page and send me the contact details of the group, even just a Facebook page link is fine, as you will see.
Probably important things a person can s provide moral, comfort and informational support to another especially a injured worker.
Probably one of the most important things a injured worker/victim of a workplace accident can do for themselves is to seek help when they need it .
This is why I have setup this page for Ontario victims of workplace accidents to allow them to connect with the much needed support groups and to allow the support groups to connect with victims of workplace accidents.

Q: TransactionScope Allows Partial Update Even Though Second Service Errors I have had a good trawl through related questions and implemented suggestions found, but I still have a problem with .NET TransactionScope.
I am calling two WCF services from a method and even though the second service errors (deliberately in this case) the first service doesn't roll back. I have created a simple test application to demonstrate the problem.
Here is the calling method:
private void TryATransaction()
{
    ServiceReference1.IService1 service = new ServiceReference1.Service1Client();
    ServiceReference2.IService1 service2 = new ServiceReference2.Service1Client();

    using (TransactionScope scope = new TransactionScope())
    {
        service.TestMethod("one");
        service2.UpdateSomethingElse("two");

        scope.Complete();
    }
}

The first service looks like this (connections made anonymous):
public bool TestMethod(string anything)
{
        using (TransactionScope scope = new TransactionScope())
        {

            // connect to a db
            using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection("Data Source=DATASOURCE;Initial Catalog=DATABASE;Integrated Security=SSPI;Transaction Binding=Explicit Unbind;"))
            {

                connection.Open();
                // save something
                SqlCommand command1 = new SqlCommand("EXECUTE [DATABASE].[dbo].[uspUpdateCustomer] 3, 'test@test.com', 1, null", connection);
                command1.ExecuteNonQuery();
                connection.Close();

            }

            scope.Complete();
        }

    return true;
}

And the second service is identical to the first service, except that it updates a different field in the database.
1) If I run this without forcing an error, it updates all fields fine.
2) When I run this and force an error in the second service, the update from the first service gets committed to the database, whereas the second service gets rolled back (the error is AFTER the ExecuteNonQuery statement).
This example code essentially follows the examples found here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.transactions.transactionscope.aspx
And I added Explicit Unbind, which was recommended in other related questions.
Your suggestions are very welcome - and I'm happy to add more information if it's required.
Extra Information
The distributed identifier seems to be 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 at all times - I don't know if this is a clue.
Here is the dubug output of distributed id and local id (in that order)

Current transaction is
  00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 -
  f6446876-496d-488c-a21c-1e4c4295d50c:8
Current transaction is
  00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 -
  7edd5ba3-7f5a-42af-b9ca-37b3862c26a7:2
Current transaction is
  00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 -
  6fa0e3f7-b655-40ad-8bdd-f0670de79a49:2

The transaction is being started via the code behind an aspx page in my example app.

A: Edit: sorry had things backwards.
Most likely the issue is due to using Transactions together with WCF.
Check out this article on Transactional Services. In particular the part on Client/Service mode transactions.
Basically you need to:

*

*Set the [TransactionFlow(TransactionFlowOption.Mandatory)] attribute on your OperationContract interface methods

*Set the [OperationBehavior(TransactionScopeRequired = true)] attribute on their implementation

*Add the TransactionFlowBindingElement to the BindingContext of your service

*Remove the TransactionScope from your service's implementation, since you're using the client's TransactionScope.

Each service method that completes successfully votes for the transaction to succeed (when you are using the default TransactionAutoComplete=true OperationBehavior).
If a service method fails due to an exception, it votes for the transaction to fail.

Arsenal move in my mind – De Jong
New Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong admits he believed he would play for Arsenal before agreeing the La Liga switch.
De Jong agreed to sign for the Spanish champions back in January, for a fee of around £75million from Eredivisie side Ajax.
He was one of the most impressive young midfielders in Europe last season and is now also a mainstay of the senior Dutch team, despite only being 22.
He was officially unveiled as a Barca player last week as the club look for long-term replacements in their midfield for the likes of Sergio Busquets.
However, the Dutchman admits he always imagined himself playing for Arsenal, and has cited the influence of Marc Overmars in wanting to represent the Gunners.
"In my mind I have had the following list for a long time: Ajax-Arsenal-Barcelona, call it the Marc Overmars route," De Jong told Voetbal International.
"But then again, if you can go directly to Barcelona, then you are right where you want to be. Faster than you ever dared to dream."

History of Tuorla Observatory
Yrjö Väisälä
In 1923, Yrjö Väisälä became professor of physics at the newly founded University of Turku, assuming in 1927 responsibilities for astronomy, and in the 1950's founded Tuorla Observatory. In many ways Väisälä can be thought of as the father of space research in Finland. Väisälä was truly forward thinking in the use of space for scientific research. He proposed in 1946, at a meeting of the Academy of Finland, the use of rockets or balloons with on-board flashes so that geodetic triangulation could be made even between the continents, and suggested that artificial satellites would be even better. The next year he was already doing experiments with small rockets, and giving interviews explaining how artificial satellites could be used to explore the solar system, and beyond!
On 17 April 1950 the caretakers of the Tuorla Manor House consented to the request by Yrjö Väisälä to move the observatory of the university from Iso-Heikkilä to Laukkavuori in Tuorla. In 1951 Väisälä completed his detailed plans of the observatory including meterological and optical instruments. The observatory was officially founded on 29 April 1952. The 71 metre long optical tunnel was built between 11 February 1952 and 31 May 1952. During 1953 a vertical tunnel was built inside a concrete pillar, which was 27 metres from the bottom of the tunnel or 15 metres from groundlevel, and 6 metres in diameter. It took a further 7 years, before the concrete pillar was completed with a dome on top of it. The older section of the present observatory building was completed in 1957. Research activities during the leadership of Väisälä included setting up the geodetic triangulation network for measuring distances, optical work, Zenith telescope studies of polar motion, detections and orbital calculations of minor planets and comets. Professor, Academician Väisälä was the director of the observatory until his death on 21 July 1971.
Väisälä was a superb optician, using the tunnel under the hill at Tuorla Observatory, from which interference measurements defining the length standard for geodesy were made and later adopted internationally. The highest quality optics were produced, Väisälä being one of the few in the world who could produce the demanding corrector glasses for Schmidt telescopes. Väisälä actually thought of the Schmidt-type telescope several years before Schmidt, and included the design in his lecture notes on optics, but thought the idea so obvious he didn't publish it further! Väisälä, together with Liisi Oterma, who later became professor at Tuorla, discovered more minor planets in their most effective years than all the other observatories in the world put together.
Prof. Liisi Oterma became director of the observatory after Väisälä. In 1971 a new 60cm reflector was erected. During the 1974 nationalisation of the Turku University, the observatory lost its independent status and became part of the Department of Physical Sciences.
Prof. Vilppu Piirola was the director of the observatory in 1978-80. Piirola broadened the research activities of the observatory with polarised stellar systems.
Prof. Mauri Valtonen became the director of the observatory in 1980. The scope of the research was vastly broadened as active galaxies became a significant field at the observatory. Stellar dynamics and optics stayed as vital field of research. In 1989 the Observatory buildings were enlarged, and in 1991 Tuorla became once again an independent research institute under the direct jurisdiction of the university. In 1990-1995 and 2000-2001 Valtonen was on leave from directorship of the observatory, during which time Professors Pekka Teerikorpi, Seppo Mikkola and Chris Flynn took up the directorship. In 1995 the Tuorla staff member Vilppu Piirola was appointed to the directorship of the Nordic Optical Telescope, serving through till 2002.
Prof. Esko Valtaoja took over the reigns from Mauri Valtonen in 2002; much of the research is now part of a push into space-based astronomy and astrophysics; Valtaoja's appointment was as a new chair in space-based astronomy. Yet another new building was added to the hill, containing 12 new offices and 2 flats for visitors and observers; a millimetre Solar radio telescope was installed and commissioned. In 2002 Tuorla Observatory turned 50!

Today, I'm reviewing something that I never thought I'd ever get excited about, being a guy (unless it was on a hot girl!) … Underwear!
A selection of high quality, limited edition designed underwear. This isn't your normal quality underwear though. Each pair you buy comes in a limited edition look, which tells it's own unique story, feels amazing on, gets complimented and few others will own (for now anyway!).
No, but I was sent two free items to review by the company to review. I was sent 'Barbed wire by Juan Restrepo' and 'Polka-Dots by Daniel Ramos'.
Depending on the items you buy, you get great fitting, well designed, very well made underwear. Each item has it own limited edition look from barbed wire to animals. The items come, folded, in small plastic packets, with the 'Artillery' logo in black and yellow on the packet.

The best dessert I had when we went to Barcelona this summer was the famous Spanish Chocolate con Churros. I had it twice in three day!! It was that delicious, honestly!
I've been missing it so much ever since I came back to Los Angeles, and have been looking up recipes trying to duplicate the taste, but have not been able to achieve my goal until this morning. Not 100% yet, but close enough!!
Most of the churros recipes call for eggs to be added to the dough, but it tastes more like fried cream puff shells with center way too tender and eggy rather than the churros from Barcelona which was cripsy on the outside and much firmer and chewier in the center. As for the Spanish hot chocolate, most recipes deliver a really rich chocolaty thin drink not at all the thick pudding like chocolate I had in Barcelona.
Here are the recipes of the Spanish hot chocolate and the chewy churros really taste like the ones I had, and I'm really happy with the result!!
1. Blend together corn starch and cooca powder, and mix it well in the cold milk in a small sauce pan.
2. Cook the chocolate milk mixture over medium heat. Stir constantly to avoid burning. Cook until think and starts to boil.
3. Remove from heat, and add the chocolate chips. Stir to disolve the chips. Pour into 4 cups.
4. Serve the chocolate hot with the churros.
1. In medium sauce pan, bring the water to a boil. Dissolve salt in it. Add oil.
2. In another sauce pan, heat up enough oil (about 2") for frying the churros over medium heat.
3. Add the flour to the water, mix well, and continue to cook over medium heat until the dough is smooth, and forms a ball. Stir or beat with a spatula or wooden sppon constantly while cooking.
4. Remove the pan from heat, and continue to mix until it cools down to a touchable temperature.
5. Use a star tip, and pipe the dough into 5" long sticks, or the teardrop shapes, or even donut circles on a tray or plate. Makes about 12-16 churros.
7. Sprinkle them with granulated sugar, and serve with the Spanish hot chocolate.
* Make the churros first, and then make the chocolate since it is much faster making the chocolate than making the churros.
** Be patient frying the churros. Mine in the photos were too pale.
ENJOY!!! They are so delicious!!!

Acacia Gum Resin
For thousands of years, indigenous cultures have relied on the Acacia plant. The resin, bark and flowers were used in alcohol and smoking blends for retaining the properties of other plants for a longer time.
The Acacia tree grows in a region that stretches from Senegal to Sudan in Africa and cultivated in Arabia and West Asia. Gum arabic, a complex mixture of polysaccharides and glycoproteins, is used primarily in the food industry as a stabilizer.
The Senegal gum acacia is an average sized tree with thorns that grows on the African savanna grassland. Gum arabic fiber is widely used in in many industries as an emulsifier and stabilizer. Commonly used as a thickening agent in icing, fillings, chewing gum and other confectionary treats. It is also a very commonly used as a base for burning incense because of its light smell.
Acacia decocotions are reported to significantly potentiate the flavor of other herbs without reacting with them. To prepare the gum, combine one part by weight of Acacia gum with three parts by volume of distilled water. Place into a tightly-closed bottle, shake occasionally, allow to dissolve, and keep refrigerated. Combine this liquid with wines or smoking blends.
On trees of the genus Acacia that exude gums, the harvest is described as follows:
"The gum harvest from the various species lasts about five weeks. About the middle of November, after the rainy season, it exudes spontaneously from the trunk and principal branches, but the flow is generally stimulated by incisions in the bark, a thin strip, 2 to 3 feet in length and 1 to 3 inches wide being torn off. In about fifteen days it thickens in the furrow down which it runs, hardening on exposure to the air, usually in the form of round or oval tears, about the size of a pigeon's egg, but sometimes in vermicular forms, white or red, according to whether the species is a white or red gum tree.
About the middle of December, the Moors commence the harvesting. The masses of gum are collected, either while adhering to the bark, or after it falls to the ground, the entire product, often of various species, thus collected, is packed in baskets and very large sacks of tanned leather and brought on camels and bullocks to the centres of accumulation and then to the points of export, chiefly Suakin, Alexandria, or - in Senegambia - St. Louis. It is then known as 'Acacia sorts,' the term being equivalent to 'unassorted Acacia.' The unsorted gums show the widest variation as to size of fragments, whiteness, clearness, freedom from adhering matter, etc. It is next sorted or 'picked' in accordance with these differences."

Box Office – Akshay's Airlift set to make it BIG this Republic Day weekend
Movies, News | January 21, 2016 | | by Joginder Tuteja
January has begun on a tepid note. While Wazir has failed to live up to the expectations, surprisingly there are no other notable releases in the month for the first three weeks. Ghayal Once Again was slated to arrive tomorrow but its sudden push to February has left the slot empty. This could as well have been picked by either Mastizaade or Kya Kool Hain Hum 3, had the slot been made available earlier. However, a last minute announcement from Ghayal Once Again means that even that couldn't have been possible.
As a result, the only release of the week is Chalk N Duster, which has hardly been promoted. Moreover, the promo too is ordinary. The Shabana Azmi-Juhi Chawla film would see a restricted release in certain pockets of the country, and that's about it. All one can hope is critical acclaim to help some audience trickle in.
Wazir hasn't been able to sustain well during the weekdays, which means even though it would get maximum screens in the second week too, it won't account for much as the momentum hasn't been created. There would be some advantage for Bajirao Mastani to gain more moolah which would make it richer by a couple of crore or so. Dilwale is anyways collecting in lakhs (on a lower side) and that's about it.
This means that all hopes for a biggie in January 2016 lie with Airlift. The film has been creating terrific buzz ever since its first teaser as launched, and has been on a positive path ever since then. The Akshay Kumar starrer has been promoted quite well too and has generated good all around vibe so far. The film is just one week away from release and it has been pitched well enough to generate some good footfalls on its release. While further trends around the opening would be clearer on 22nd January, the fact remains that it would take a bigger start than Baby which had released in the same weekend last year.

Most Entertaining
Last Thursday night, I had the pleasure of hosting "A Conversation with Andy Cohen" at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton for Southflorida.com, the Sun Sentinel's entertainment/go-guide website. Some proceeds from the event benefited Autism Speaks and we had local spokeswoman Candi Spitz speak before the event.
But Mr. Bravo was the big man on campus and he was gracious and very sweet in the green room (where my editor snapped the photo to your left) and on stage before 500 rowdy women and gay men from greater Boca Raton.
I mostly focused the interview on his memoir, "Most Talkative" which will have a paperback edition release next month. We talked about his early days at Boston University where he landed an interview with Susan Lucci; how he launched his TV career as a producer for CBS's morning news show where he coordinated coverage of some of the biggest stories of the 1990s (Hurricane Andrew, the Oklahoma City bombing, floods in Missouri and fires in California) and how he transitioned from hard news to building the wildly successful "Real Housewives" franchise on Bravo television. (I will post a review of his book soon.)
From the get go Thursday, Andy said I could him ask whatever I wanted and I did - boxers or briefs (briefs); his hectic work schedule; his thoughts on dating; his ideal romantic date (which apparently made me blush A LOT); would he want to get married one day; where he sees reality TV in the next five years and whom he would love to have on his WWHL show (First lady Michelle Obama.) Here's a photo gallery of the event. Muchas gracias Andy for a great chat!
Terrence Moss March 24, 2013 at 12:17 AM
So what did he say that made you blush...????
Johnny Diaz March 25, 2013 at 4:40 PM
Apparently I blushed a few times (according to audience members.) Once when he called me "smiley". Then when I asked him about what would his ideal romantic date be like, he began with "Well when I pick you up Johnny..." I started grinning. (I believe that's one of the photos in this post)
Ha! I can't disagree with "smiley". But it's a great smile.
I hope you're going to take him up on his offer...at least for those people who live vicariously. :)
