We are only at the advent. Which means we still have tons to learn and perfect. We still have teams to build, AI strategies to create, and structures, guidelines, and standards to establish. Learning the process of AI at its most granular understanding has eradicated most of my fears about AI and how businesses will adopt and eventually embrace AI as an integral part of their organizations. Let me reiterate: most of my fears. Let me explain.
One of the learning modules in Mr. Ng's course focused on the ethics of AI. If you've read my articles you already know that I have serious concerns about the lack of diversity and inclusion in business as it stands. More specifically, the lack of true willingness by those in power to make change as the disparities don't really affect their wallets or standing, thus creating no real onus to fix the problem. I dive into that in great detail (and candor) in my upcoming book, "(Business) AS I SEE IT."
So, I'm not going to sugarcoat this and just put it out there straight, no chaser. If we're already having issues with diversity and inclusion in the Engineering ranks, doesn't this have massive implications on AI development? If bias such as gender and racial stereotypes are being extrapolated from that unchallenged data, fed into AI development by a pretty non-diverse group of Engineers who likely aren't as acutely aware of these biases due to the lack of diversity in their ranks, won't this only exacerbate the D&I issue if specific roles and code aren't created to detect and "zero out" these biases before they're deeply embedded in the source code of a potentially ubiquitous product?
As you can clearly see in the third line we have a little problem. In short, the word embeddings discovered by the Bolukbasi team on the Internet that machine learning extrapolated and reasoned are based on an ages-old stereotype about women being homemakers when they are just as capable of being (and are!) Computer Programmers or the reverse roles being completely plausible.
The main issue is that the Internet is chock full of these word embeddings harboring subversive stereotypes and biases. Even with a healthy dose of awareness that they exist it is imperative that we have enough diversity within the ranks of Engineers creating AI source code that we all will encounter in some form down the road.
Sadly, we're already guilty of these transgressions with early adopter AI bots already in the wild. For instance, has anyone created a voice-activated Assistant named Shaniqua or Chante' or Lupe or Shu Mai or Sangita yet? Nope. Amy, Alexa, Siri, Cortana, Jane, and Clara currently rule the roost. Why not a man's name for the bots? Because females are [stereotypically] "Assistants" and whose gender and voice test most favorably based on extensive consumer research. Anyone smell the same implicit bias I'm smelling?
I had a lengthy, blatantly honest conversation with my mother last night re: my upcoming book and what I really think about racial and gender bias in business. After taking and completing Mr. Ng's course I'm worried that we're about to throw gasoline on a fire that's already burning out of control. If we haven't already made serious strides, globally, to eradicate bias, discrimination, and underrepresentation of minority groups in business, the introduction and rapid adoption of AI is going to make the situation exponentially worse. And it will allow companies to hide any number of these biases that benefit or don't impact them financially deep within the code and provide them a convenient defense when eventually called onto the carpet for various forms of discrimination #becauseInternet. Yes, I want to be optimistic about what miracles AI will provide and how it will quickly revolutionize/benefit business and society in the not-too-distant future. However, my gut tells me that if these biases are already inherent in the data being extrapolated from a biased Internet, unintentionally perpetuated by a buncha dudes under the gun to push out product and be first-to-market, and execs blithely ignoring the rather serious issues of diversity and inclusion, again, because it doesn't negatively affect their bottom line, then we're essentially creating an even more nefarious and ubiquitous tool for discrimination that will be nearly impossible to course correct once released into the wild and numerous, specialized versions are created, all with the same, biased, source code.
I'm no AI expert. I'm geeking out tho, which is a good (read: dangerous) thing. Now, more than ever, I'm eager to find a way to make an impact during AI's advent to ensure that companies staff up and attack these biased word embeddings during their extrapolation and before going live with AI products so that we can head off instances of unanticipated discrimination like that experienced by Amazon's recently sunsetted, resume-reading AI. Additionally, I want the business community to truly understand and own their complicity with today's race and gender bias issues and actually do something noteworthy and consistent starting tomorrow to avoid this massive, impending trainwreck we're heading toward. Otherwise, we are fucked. All of us. And headed for a high tech civil war of epic proportions. Call me an alarmist if you want to. I'll happily accept the moniker. But after almost 27 years in the C-suite watching the abysmally slow amount of progress we've made in that time with regard to race and gender disparities and bias in business, I can assure you my predictions will prove hauntingly accurate in the not-too-distant future.
I'm curious to know your thoughts, worries, and concerns in the comments below. Also, if you're an AI Engineer or expert, please chime in and allay any fears and/or challenge anything you may feel is unjust or just WRAWNG in anything that I've written above. I'm here for discourse and TRUTH. Not simply to be right. We all deserve a say, which allows us a wide array of opinions from which we can form our own, informed opinions. As always, keep it classy. Trolls will get blocked. Pants-ed first, then blocked. I have that power.
It's informative, well worth the $50, and will put you well ahead of the majority of people on this platform with regard to basic, working knowledge of AI. Knowledge is power. And, in this case, knowledge is survival. EAs, ask your exec's if you can expense this as continued education. It will benefit you both, greatly.

Aerocene at Understanding Risk 2022
In late november the Aerocene community was invited to fly aerosolar at the Understading Risk global forum, in Florianópolis, Brazil. Understading Risk is a global community of experts and practitioners with interest in "disastrology", the field which studies disasters from all points of view and establishes guidelines for their management.
Although the weather did not help, the Aerocene team managed to get an Aerocene sculpture airborne to the admiration of forum attendants. But soon, the clouds closed in again forcing to quickly deflate the sculpture and seek shelter from the adverse meteorology.
The states of Paraná, Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina have been affected by heavy rains in the last week. Disaster preparedness allows governments and humanitarian institutions to build resilience, giving priority to those most at need. As the climate emergency unfolds, the need for #UnderstandingRisk will be more and more dire.

Time Travel | What is Heritage?
I sometimes fantasize about being able to write to myself in the past and describe all the different things we now have that were pure science fiction not so many years ago… or at least when I was a kid.
That got me to realizing that by explaining how some of today's technology, and even concepts, as if to someone in the past, really led to an introspective view of what things were like earlier in our lifetimes.
For an example, I might describe a "smart phone". I could start in one of a few directions, looking at the changing telephone and in fact how mobile phones have changed society; or viewing the smart phone as a hand-held computer, complete with very many useful tools. For sake of argument I'll be looking at the later, the "smart phone" as a "hand-held computer".
What might I write about smart phones to my younger self in the 1970's? To begin with, I have to consider not only the world of the 1970's, but also my own personal view of the 1970's. My own personal view back then is perhaps the more important from the point of view of heritage.
In high school I was extremely fortunate to belong to the school computer club. It was a time when even small computers were large enough that they might barely fit into a small bedroom. Of course that didn't include the tape drives, disk drives, or the necessary air conditioner — that would likely be the size of two large deep freezes stacked.
I think that even on Star Trek they didn't dare refer to their "Tricorders" as mobile computers. The view of "home computing" was that of computer terminals connecting via phone line to a computing centre in a central location like a university or corporation.
The old Telex teletype machines were gradually replaced with new "dot matrix" terminals and terminals with thermal printers. There were a few large terminals with CRT monitors. A few were even colour! I'm not sure if the mainframe computers had CRT consoles yet or not.
We did have ways to chat online. If you were on the same computer system as someone else you could send messages back and forth. I know we enjoyed chatting with students at another high school. They really got annoyed when we would send a "ctrl b" in a message. That rang the bell in the terminal and while ours was an electronic beep, the other school had an older Telex terminal.
Those teletype machines had an actual bell, and when it rang it annoyed the office staff at their school. We chatted via a computer at the local technical institute, but could have probably connected via phone directly to their school's computer terminal. That seemed fun for us in high school.

Abstract: A series of graphene oxide (GO) thin films were prepared by a dip-coating method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) light absorption, and photoelectrochemical measurements. A cathodic photocurrent was observed for the GO electrodes and the photocurrent density was influenced by the thickness of the films. The GO film electrode with an average thickness of 27 nm gave a photocurrent density of 0.25 μA·cm-2. The photoresponse of the GO electrodes was found to be influenced by UV irradiation and the cathodic photocurrent decreased gradually with UV irradiation time. This work provides a simple method to change the photoelectrochemical property of GO films by controlling the film thickness or UV irradiation time.
Key words: Graphene oxide, Photoelectrochemical property, Cathodic photocurrent, Film thickness, UV irradiation

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are known to play an important role in regulating both adaptive and innate immunity. Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) is the most widely farmed crustacean species in the world. However, little is known about the role miRNAs play in shrimp immunity. To understand the impact of viral infection on miRNA expression in shrimp, we used high-throughput sequencing technology to sequence two small RNA libraries prepared from L. vannamei under normal and white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) challenged conditions. Approximately 19,312,189 and 39,763,551 raw reads corresponding to 17,414,787 and 28,633,379 high-quality mappable reads were obtained from the two libraries, respectively. Twelve conserved miRNAs and one novel miRNA that were highly expressed (>100 RPM) in L. vannamei were identified. Of the identified miRNAs, 8 were differentially expressed in response to the virus infection, of which 1 was upregulated and 7 were downregulated. The prediction of miRNA targets showed that the target genes of the differentially expressed miRNAs were related to immunity, apoptosis, and development functions. Our study provides the first characterization of L. vannamei miRNAs in response to WSSV infection, which will help to reveal the roles of miRNAs in the antiviral mechanisms of shrimp.

The Pinot Noir grapes are sourced from several vineyards along the Sonoma Coast, a region that extends from the Carneros appellation in the south to the Russian Valley appellation in the northeast. The relatively cool coastal temperatures are balanced by abundant sunshine, allowing the fruit to reach optimum ripeness each vintage. The methods we use for crafting Pinot Noir include early morning crush and a cold soak period to stabilize color. Open-top fermentation produces a plush, silky texture, which accentuates the tantalizing flavors of crushed cranberries, cherry, strawberry, allspice, clove and vanilla.

Injuries no barrier - Veteran Sport Australia
Injuries no barrier
Posted on: 29 Oct 2020 29/10/2020 Written by: Ceridwen Thomas Categorized in: Stories
When Christine Howatt saw on Facebook that Veteran Sport Australia was teaming up with Rowing ACT on an indoor rowing program, she immediately thought that it would be amazing to get something similar happening in her local area.
She wasn't wrong.
Getting involved in Rowing Australia's 'GRow program'
After reaching out to VSA, Christine soon got a group of veterans together to do an introductory course in indoor rowing. The group of seven former serving veterans represented each of the three services.
The course was part of Rowing Australia's innovative 'GRow program', an initiative involving six free introductory sessions with a qualified instructor, supported by Sport Australia.
"It was fantastic," says Christine. "We couldn't have got more out of it. We were really sad on our last day and wondering 'what are we going to do now?'"
The beauty of indoor rowing is that people of all ages and abilities can participate. You use a huge percentage of your body's muscle groups, strengthening bones and muscles while also increasing fitness.
"People are like me, we want to keep moving," says Christine. "We all know that if we stop moving our bodies will just shut down and we won't be able to do anything. We just want to be active."
Deception Bay RSL Sub Branch hosting Rowing Australia's GRow program
Amazing progress
Throughout the program, Christine's group benefited from the expertise and enthusiasm of Rowing Queensland instructor Mike Partridge.
"Mike was just amazing, I've had such good progress," says Christine. "When we first started, he went over the whole of the rowing machine, then he went into how to use the machine properly. He was really big on technique and on getting the most out of using the machine."
Every session, Mike would bring indoor rowers to the Deception Bay RSL sub Branch hall for the group to use, including a seat for a group member who was in a wheelchair.
Now she's hooked too.
"She absolutely loved it," says Christine. "She just wants to do this more."
For those inspired by Mike's work and wanting to share their indoor rowing experience with others, there are also opportunities for people who have been through the GRow program to get into coaching through Rowing Australia.
"There's a coaching course that you can do online that's free for any participant of the GRow program," says Kathleen Hextell, Rowing Australia's Indoor Rowing Officer. "We'd like to have sustainable programs running across Australia".
An accommodating sport
Christine has found indoor rowing to be the perfect sport to accommodate her injuries.
Medically discharged from the Navy, having served from 1988 to 1998, she had a partial knee replacement just four and a half months ago.
"I don't find indoor rowing a strain on my knee because I'm mainly using upper body," says Christine. "It actually keeps my legs moving too. I'm due to have my other knee done next year, so I've got to keep the strength up. This is doing it wonders."
Her improved technique is also helping at the gym and Christine finds that she doesn't tire as easily as she did before.
It also makes rowing more enjoyable.
"When my trainer says to go and get on the rower, I'm not dragging my feet," says Christine. "I know I'm going to be able to do it pretty well and get through it."
Christine is a member of The Garrison, a Brisbane-based group that only formed earlier this year and already has 300+ members. She's sure that there will be plenty of other veterans from the group who would be interested in getting involved in indoor rowing – both to stay active and to stay connected.
As for her own next steps? Having just completed the Invictus Games Foundation's 'Sydney to the Hague' Challenge, Christine now has her sights firmly set on going to an Invictus Games.

Zoë Kravitz Just Dropped a Second Lipstick Collab with YSL
We won't be the first to say that YSL Beauty and Zoë Kravitz are a match made in heaven—but we will be the first to recommend the actress's new lipstick collection. After all, what better way to celebrate closing the book on 2020 than with eight limited-edition lip colors inspired by the cities Kravitz loves? (That's a rhetorical question, by the way.)
The YSL Beauté Makeup and Fragrance Ambassador's Rouge Pur Couture collection is now available on YSLBeautyUS.com, where all of the $38 shades are currently still in stock. Named after and influenced by London, Paris, New York City, and Los Angeles, the satiny shade range offers up new takes on the quintessential YSL reds, packaged in glitzy tubes that resemble skyscrapers. In a world without travel, globally-inspired lipstick shades will beautifully fill the void (for now).
It's the little details behind the names that make this collection truly special, though. There are glimpses into the geographical inspiration behind the colors on the house's website, like the chili-red Lost In Marais inspired by where Kravitz was married, or the nude Shoreditch Walk, named after where she "shot her latest movie." A collector's item for The Batman that not even we saw coming.
Keep on reading for an even more intimate look into the collection. Below, a conversation between YSL Beauty and Zoë Kravitz on the inspiration behind the new collection, advice for 2021, and the actor's makeup style, exclusively for BAZAAR.com.
This is your second makeup collection for YSL Beauty, what does this achievement mean to you?
Zoë Kravitz: I have always enjoyed my working relationships with YSL Beauty. I love the values that exist within the heritage of the brand, the many layers of stories within it, the aesthetic… and to be able to have the freedom to create within this world? It was incredible. And now we're back with a second collection! And it just feels phenomenal to be able to continue the story, to develop what we did with Rouge Pur Couture lipstick and take it to the next level.
What is new about the second collection?
Kravitz: So we're still focused on the Rouge Pur Couture, because as you know, it's a lipstick that I love, and something of an icon. But whereas before it was about the names of people who were dear to me, now it's about the cities that have inspired me. I wanted to bring everyone on a journey that would show you the key places in my life.

A post shared by Zoë Kravitz (@zoeisabellakravitz)
Could you tell us one special memory about each city?
Kravitz: Definitely! London… Well, it's a place I never thought I would spend a lot of time, but work has brought me there a lot and I've made so many great friends there. I've fallen in love with Hampstead Heath and love getting out to the English countryside when I have a chance. Paris, oh, so special! I've spent a lot of time there ever since I was a kid and have had some really beautiful times there with close friends and family. I've also danced my heart out in Paris! Los Angeles—it's where I grew up, so I will always be connected to it. I love the nature of this place. It's like a million cities in one. New York is my favorite place! I've lived there for over 15 years. Every time I touch down there, I get a warm excited feeling.
You chose to create a lipstick collection, as opposed to say, eyeshadow or blush. Are lips the most important element of makeup for you?
Kravitz: You could say so, in some respects, since as an actress the lips are key to deliver the message, they express the words in the script. But what I love about lipstick is that with just a single swipe of color you can express a mood. And when you've had an especially busy day—you know, one of those days where it feels more like four days in one!—lipstick is the best ally for any woman. You can switch moods, and express a different version of yourself with just one quick gesture.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CJJ54ngpc-L/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading
As a woman of influence, what piece of advice do you have for women in 2021?
Kravitz: I would say to young women that it's important to experiment and create your own stories. Allow yourself to live a daring life, while being aware of the challenges we have to face right now. But really, whatever your age, wherever you're from around the world, be proud of what you have achieved in your life.
What is your take on makeup and the way it's worn today in our society?
Kravitz: We're free to do what we want, be that wear makeup or don't wear makeup; put on heels or just wear flats. But for me personally, I feel you can't beat makeup as a way to amplify your presence, and for this reason alone there's nothing better than a great lipstick when it comes to making a statement.

Scenes that never appeared on the screen – The Story of Robin Hood and His Merrie Men 1952
This film is a great favourite of mine – a beautifully made film using a top Director in Ken Annakin as well as photography by Guy Green, Set Design superbly done by Carmen Dillon right at the top of her game on this one, and Alex Bryce as Second Unit Director.
Then to put the icing on the cake – Peter Ellenshaw for Matte Paintings which were just out of this world – and gave the film a story-book feel that it would never have achieved.
The film itself came to us from Walt Disney – who came over and watched some of the scenes being done at Denham – and alse he went to Burnham Beeches where he enjoyed a bite to eat with stars Richard Todd and Joan Rice
On top of this the actors were all perfect for their roles.
However in the process of the filming it would seem that some strands of the film were left out and others replaced by studio sets.
ABOVE – we see Elton Hayes as Alan a Dale with Joan Rice as Marian, walking through Sherwood Forest – which actually was Burnham Beeches. This scene was not in the film – instead they had the two of them walking through studio sets of the Forest at Denham Film Studios.
Behind them in this shot was Midge the Miller played by Hal Osmond – and here he is in a closer shot – taken at the same time in the same bit of Burnham Beeches – again this bit not seen in the film.
Here Richard Todd evades his pursuers arrows as he scrambles up the bank. This was used but not as the picture shows – this must have been just a still because we can see figures in the background at the top of the picture.
However a dramatic looking scene which definitely did not make the film shows Peter Finch firing arrows back at the outlaws – how this was going to fit the film I just don't know. It seems though it might originally have been filmed and was part of the story – I am not sure on this one.
The Technicolor on this was just about as good as it gets – really lovely and showed the Forest – both Burnham Beeches and the Denham Studio Sets – to great effect and looking stunning and fitting of any childhood imagination for this famous story.
The House on Cold Hill – a Peter James Theatre Play 2019
Author Peter James who gave us Not Dead Enough, The Perfect Murder and Dead Simple, is back with the world premiere of this spine-chilling thriller.
This is a Theatre Play touring Britain at the moment – so not exactl a Film of the Fifties though very reminiscent of the type of ghostly thriller we used to see on screen. So I have included it here as it fits in quite well I think.
In the Stage Cast – BAFTA nominated actor – formerly of Heartbeat, Joe McFadden and award winning actress Rita Simons from EastEnders, are joined by actors, Charlie Clements and Persephone Swales-Dawson in Peter James' ghostly story of the Harcourt family, who move into the house of their dreams that has been empty for the last forty years.
Soon, however, their dream home quickly turns into the stuff of nightmares as they begin to wonder whether they may not be the only residents at Cold Hill
The House on Cold Hill is a modern-day supernatural thriller that will send shivers down your spine and make you think twice about returning home to a dark, empty house after the show – It has a great twist at the end – totally unexpected.
Above – a tense scene as the characters witness something very frightening.

Gene Autry – Picturegoer Magazine July 1953
I have never been a fan of Gene Autry – nor can I ever remember seeing one of his films. To me he did not look like the cowboy hero that he portrayed- However it must be said that he was very successful indeed.
First he made and starred in quite a number of Westerns – then he went into producing though his companies such TV series as The RangeRider and Champion The Wonder Horse both of which us youngsters in England loved.
Of course Champion was Gene Autry's horse – I always remember the theme song for Champion The Wonder Horse sung by Frankie Laine – and when he sang the title song the show gained prestige. His delivery was so dramatic.
His wife said that the key to Gene's success is that he always stuck to what the public wanted and so he remained just a Cowboy star. He also dressed to appeal to youngsters when in public – he would wear quite colourful cowboy outfits.
He is also a singing star – I think it is right that he is the only artist to have five stars on The Hollywood Walk of Fame
Here ABOVE is a poster for Silver Canyon a 1951 film
Gene Autry relaxes with his guitar
Now here is one of the great character actors of Cinema – and apparently also in real life a quite colourful character at that.
Robert Newton has been over living in England while filming The Beachcomber at Pinewood Film Studios with Glynis Johns – in February 1954 when these pictures were taken
He had met his wife Eva Budnick in June of 1952 and from that moment as a promise to his young wife he had given up alcohol completely. Drinking had been a problem with Robert Newton over many years but he had given this up and the couple now had a lovely 10 month old daughter.
During their stay here they were living in Thurloe Square, South Kensington. Here they were visited on occasions by Robert Newton's Daughter Sally from his first marriage.
Sadly he could not maintain his sober lifestyle for that long – He died of a heart attach in 1956 just after finishing his last film 'Around The World In 80 Days' alongside his good friend David Niven.
Robert Newton it was said was at his entertaining best after say a couple of drinks – had it stayed at that then all was well but after the 3rd of 4th there emerged a less pleasant person and the entertaining man he was became objectionable.
However we must not dwell on that – it is his performances that live in the memory – he was Bill Sykes in Oliver Twist – but it is as Long John Silver in the 1950 Walt Disney classic that remains in the memory. Maybe an over the top performance by some standards but I think he realised that was what was needed in order to lift this film version out of the normal range and put it up amongst the best.
His spectacular portrayal of Long John Silver in the Disney version of Treasure Island (1950), greatly influenced actors playing pirates in film, radio, television, and theatre, after that – and all tended to use – and still do – the same accent that Robert Newton had made his own.
Hollywood Stars relax – May 1951
Like us all to this day, Film Stars also enjoy the relaxation of time off at the Weekend particularly in the Summertime.
Theirs is a busy schedule in the week – up early and sometimes in demanding locations – but not a bad life at all in film land I would imagine
Here are a few pictures of these actors at home on their days off- Doris Day above at her home in Bel -Air

The Great Escape – 75 th Anniversary
What a wonderful film it was The Great Escape – made in 1963 – and to mark the 75th Anniversary of the actual escape there have been screenings around the UK .
The presenter Dan Snow toured with the film and was on hand for the Introduction on the night.
Above: Dan Snow posing on the actual motor cycle used in the film.
On the 75th anniversary of the events that inspired The Great Escape, Dan Snow hosts a commemorative evening featuring The D-Day Darlings and special guests including Charles Clarke OBE who was held in that same POW Camp, culminating with a gala screening of the remastered 1963 cult film, starring Steve McQueen.
One of the Screenings on 24th March was at The Kinema In The Woods in Woodhall Spa Lincolnshire – and how very apt that would be as this town was the home of the DamBusters.
Pictured here is Charles Clarke OBE who in fact had been held at the notorious pow camp. Myself and my family had the honour of meeting Charles as he had been staying at The Petwood Hotel in Woodhall Spa earlier this year when we were all resident there. He told us many stories and was wonderful company.
Charles Clarke volunteered for the Royal Air Force when he was seventeen years old and flew operations as a bomb aimer with 619 Squadron from RAF Woodhall Spa. His aircraft was shot down on his 18th operation and he became a prisoner of war. He was held at Stalag Luft 3 at the time of the 'Great Escape'. As the Russians were advancing the camp, he was evacuated and he gave an account of what became known as the Long March.
Vanity Fair – BBC 2 and in Colour
The BBC had just launched their COLOUR Television service on BBC2 in 1967 – so this is just out of the Fifties era – but nevertheless quite interesting.
The Forsyte Saga had been made – in Black and White – the year earlier – they wished it had been done in colour as we all do. This Production was an attempt by the BBC to score another big success but it didn't have the same impact – although very good.
Susan Hampshire who had played Fleur in The Forsyte Saga played the leading role
Vanity Fair (1967) was shown on BBC 2 over five weeks – based on the novel by William Thackeray.
The story follows the lives of two friends, Becky Sharp and Amelia Osborne after they leave boarding school. Becky Sharp has no money at all, and must live by her wits. Amelia comes from a reasonably wealthy family, but they suffer financial setbacks and–ultimately–bankruptcy.
Any film or TV adaptation of Vanity Fair depends very much on the actress portraying Becky Sharp. In this TV series, Susan Hampshire plays Becky, and is excellent.
The role of Becky Sharp needs to be played by someone who is beautiful, and Susan Hampshire very much scores on that requirement. However, she must not only be beautiful, she must also be intelligent, witty, and, when necessary, deceitful. This is a great role for Susan Hampshire
From the opening with a puppet show to lovely performances, largely from actors now forgotten, this adaptation still looks good.
Susan Hampshire as Becky Sharp radiates charm with a lovely smile very much in character.
We had a very good friend of the family and a neighbour, who is sadly no longer with us, and he was a great fan of Susan Hampshire. I am pretty sure she reminded him of someone from the past
Nigel Green – Film Actor
The character actor Nigel Green, born in Pretoria, South Africa, in 1924, was educated in England and studied chemical engineering before winning a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London. By age 24, he was appearing on stage at both the Old Vic and Stratford-on-Avon, and in the early 1950s, he made his film and television debuts.
In 1956, he received serious injuries in an accident, but he fully recovered and established himself as a familiar figure in British film and television.
His tall, muscular physique was appropriate for playing such characters as Fertog "The Bear" in the television series William Tell (1958), Little John in Sword of Sherwood Forest (1960), and the one I remember him best for – Hercules in Jason and the Argonauts (1963).
Nigel Green as Samson in Jason and the Argonauts (1963).

In Zulu – above – an action scene
Nigel Green was always convincing even when tackling the most bizarre subject matter.
Television appearances included The Persuaders, "Read and Destroy," Jason King, "As Easy As ABC" (both 1971), Sherlock Holmes with Peter Cushing, and Dr. Finlay's Casebook. Also of course The Avengers
ABOVE: Nigel Green In The Avengers episode The Fog her with Patrick McNee as John Steed of course
Nigel Green had a number of small film roles in the early 1960s until his appearance in the critically acclaimed Zulu (1964), after which his film roles improved.
In addition to a few British horror films, such as The Skull (1965), The Face of Fu Manchu (1965), and Countess Dracula (1971), Green also appeared in a number of Hollywood films, including Tobruk (1967), The Wrecking Crew (1968) and The Kremlin Letter (1970).
Nigel Green's later films brought him international recognition and a chance at stardom; however, his career was brought to an abrupt end by his sudden death in 1972 at age 47 from an accidental overdose of sleeping pills.
Suzan Ball – What a Really Sad Story !!
I wasn't that familiar with this Hollywood Film Star – Suzan Ball – and in reality she did not make many films – but I have come across her in a publication when she had just married Actor Richard Long 1n 1954
Sadly their happiness did not last long as she died on cancer in just over a year after they married. She was only 21 years old.
They do look very happy in the pictures above and she talks of their life together.
Suzan Ball was born In Jamestown, New York in 1934 In 1947 her family moved to North HJollywood just round the corner from Universal-International.
In 1951 she got a small uncredited part in Mongram's Aladdin and His Lamp – and later that same year she signed a contract with Universal-International. She appeard in Untamed Frontier.
In 1953 she fell deeply in love with Anthony Quinn during the filming of City Beneath the Sea but he was married at that time. The continue their relationship for about a year
There have been many sad stories come out of Hollywood and Suzan Ball's is one of the saddest.
ABOVE -with Anthony Quinn in City Beneath the Sea
ABOVE: With Anthony Quinn
It was whilst she was rehearsing a dance number for East of Sumatra (1953) that Suzan suffered an injury to her right leg. She ignored the injury, but a short while after that she was a passenger in a car that was side-swiped and the same knee struck a door handle. It was painful but she still did not see a doctor about it.
Later that same year she made War Arrow with Jeff Chandler and during the shoot the leg began to give her serious trouble. She reluctantly sought medical advice and was informed by doctors that the limb had developed tumours. When she slipped on some spilled water at home and broke the same leg, Suzan was rushed to hospital and operated on to remove the tumours. The operation was not a success, however, and on January 12, 1954 her leg was amputated. She was still only 19 years old.
with Anthony Quinn again in East of Sumatra (1953)
Suzan made only one picture after the amputation, a western with Victor Mature titled Chief Crazy Horse (1955). In it she played Black Shawl, Crazy Horse's wife. A double was used for scenes that required her to walk. For close-ups in those scenes she would move her shoulders to simulate a walking motion. The producers wanted to replace her with Susan Cabot but director George Sherman flatly refused to do so.
with Victor Mature in Chief Crazy Horse (1955)
She had become engaged to Richard Long who had stuck steadfastly by her and, in April 1954, they were married.
The bride insisted she walk down the aisle unaided – fitted with an artificial limb beneath her wedding dress.
However, two months later she collapsed and doctors found that the cancer had spread to her lungs.
'I felt no pity for myself', she told an interviewer. 'Nor have I any feeling of regret. Sometimes I pondered, 'Why has this thing happened to me?' But it was never in terms of a complaint. I sought a real answer. It is not an easy one to find, and perhaps I will never know.'
with Richard Long
Universal rented a sumptuous home to enable Suzan to spend her final weeks in luxury. The pressure on her husband was intense.
She died six months after her 21st birthday on August 5, 1955.
Just a few days earlier Robert Francis had died at 25 in a plane crash, and in September, 24 year-old James Dean would be killed in an car accident. A tragic three months in Hollywood's history.
Richard Long later married Mara Corday who had been a close friend after they had met during rehearsals for a play 'The Big Knife'
They went on to have three children together
In 1974 Richard Long suffered a heart attack and died at the age of 47.
Richard Burton and his Wife Sybil 1955
These Pictures and the Article accompanying them were in the magazine Photoplay of August 1955
ABOVE and BELOW – with his wife Sybil
At the time of the Interview for Photoplay Magazine he was filming Alexander the Great in Madrid
A big Cinemascope Production
RICHARD BURTON is quite impressive as Alexander the Great.
FREDRIC MARCH is in excellent form as his father, but when he dies midway through the film suffers.
CLAIRE BLOOM is really good in the leading role and has a few memorable scenes
Richard Burton uses his voice effectively at times, but it's not one of his best performances.
Alexander the Great also starred Claire Bloom – she had been in Richard 111 with Sir Laurence Olivier just before this – so she would be well used to Shakespearean Actors.
Prior to that in 1952 she was with Charlie Chaplin in Limelight
Richard Burton ABOVE – looking very relaxed.
Richard's wife Sybil – formerly Sybil Williams was herself an actress and had met Richard on the set of The Last Days of Dolwyn – they married when she was just 20 ears old. They remained married for 14 years and had two daughters together.

I am new to DMS after having been very comfortable with Pagelines Framework for many years.
In Pagelines, I had a clear understanding of how to set page width, etc.
In DMS, I have found that I can set it to either a pixel or percent, but regardless of which I select, I cannot find a way to set the pixels or the percent.
Please see the screenshot in which I am attempting to update global settings for the site. I have set the layout mode to "pixel width" but I have no idea how many pixels this is!! This is problematic because when I go to embed images, videos, etc, the item is keeping the height specified in the embed code, but it is flexing the width to match the page width. So all video embeds have these horribly ugly black bars on them. I can do a bunch of trial and error to figure it out... or there could (should) be an easy built-in way for DMS to just tell me how wide the page is, right?
Please let me know if you have any ideas!!


WBO is specialized in beauty and modelling events worldwide.
The delegates who become part of the W B O display those characteristics in their everyday lives.
All Titleholders of the W B O personify the combination of beauty and intelligence which defines the beginning of the 21st Century. In keeping with its global view and position as creator of role models, the W B O has a new corporate structure and enhanced corporate goals.
Since the beginning in 1993 just very few "brands" or entertainment properties reach an over a decade anniversary. World Beauty Organization now is planing and this year organizing the 23rd Top Model of the World pageant.
About 50 Agencies worldwide (national beauty organization and modelling agencies) are producing their own Castings and Show-Events to select a national winner. The winner then is competing in the Top Model of the World Pageant 2016. There is a rich history of bringing together some of the most impressive, beautiful and interesting women and models from many cultures and W B O and there partners helping them to achieve their goals.
That is a heritage unique to this organization. The evolution and expansion of the biggest Model Pageant in the World for Models of age 17-25.
The Top Model of the World has a long national and worldwide tradition.
The producer of the Top Model of the World works throughout the year with private enterprises and state and foreign governments to establish the site for each of their Pageants. The city of a country offering the optimal venue and support to the Pageant and the greatest appeal to Pageant viewers is chosen. In the case of the Top Model of the World 2016 we expect again about 50 countries to compete.
Nobody had an idea how successful Top Model of the World Pageant would become in 1993. From a fashion competition, introducing sportswear to the USA, model of the world transformed into an international, annual event with numerous, beautiful and talented young women from around the world. All of them are vying to become a part of Top Model of theWorld history. Faszinating sites, interesting countries, fully choreographed shows and travel opportunities attracting those ambitious and desireful women to compete. Every ear we have millions of fans watching the Top Model of the World pageant and with the time we were able to evolve the early contest into a powerful, word wide acting organization with the goal to search and look out for the most beautiful women of all continents.
The contestants who are competing in the Top Model of the World Organization are modern, attractive and strong in their characteristics. They are performing excellent and are aware of their careers and their personal goals what they want to achieve in their lives.
Are the events held in a different place each year?
Not really althought it was held many years in Germany, after starting in Miami in 1993. Then in 2005 and 2006 in China and the last 3 years in El Gouna (Egypt).
How is the Host Country chosen?
WBO officials are working throughout the year with interested companies, agencies and/or city governments. The city or country offering the optimal venue and the best support to the WBO will be chosen.
How many Models are competing in Top Model of the World?
Every year between 40 to 60 delegates, depending of the TV production and hotel opportunities.
What requirements a delegates must meet?
A delegate for the annual Top Model of the World pageant must be at least 17 years of age and under 26 years of age. She must be unmarried and haven't given birth to any child.
Are delegates allowed to have cosmetic surgery?
We usually appreciate the own natural beauty of each delegate. However there are no restrictions on cosmetic surgeries. The modern time makes it impossible to enforce such a law or rule.
How do the delegates get to the international competition?
We are working with selected National Directors in nearly all countries in the World and most of them have their own national competition to select a winner for the Top Model of the World. Apart of that a National Director can also be a Model Agency or sometimes we do exept "freelancer" who can proof that they have worked already successfully in the Modelling Business already.
All delegates are judged in three areas of preliminary competition: Interview – Swimsuit Competition – Evening Gown Competition The scores of the swimsuit and evening gown competition are entered into a computer. The delegate with the highest score is the winner. The following ones are the runner ups.
What prizes do the winners receive?
Each Titleholder is awarded cash and prizes from the event's official sponsors as well as a manamgement contract with WBO for one year.
When is the Top Model of the World competition held?
Usually the pageant takes place between March and April each year. Last year it was held in August.
Who is broadcasting the competition?
We are always negotiating with the TV Channel in each country. They will receive the right to broadcast the event either Live or Taped.
How old is the competition?
The Top Model of the World competition was held 1993 for the first time in Miami and was founded by the Globana Group. 1996 the WBO took the pageant over and is till today the Producer. In 2016 W BO will celebrate the 23rd anniversary.

Classic documentary: Heartworn Highways – the best music documentary ever made!
Posted on November 17, 2017 by Hallgeir Olsen
The best music documentary ever made: Heartworn Highways
For it is just that, the best documentary about music I have ever seen! It looks like a home movie, you feel like you get insight into a world long gone and you feel like looking into a world just for the invited.
It is up on YouTube , so catch it before it gets taken down (or better, buy yourself a copy so you can see it as often as you want).
Heartworn Highways is made by James Szalapski whose vision captured some of the founders of the Outlaw Country and Singer/Songwriter movement in Texas and Tennessee in the last weeks of 1975 and the first weeks of 1976. The film was not released theatrically until 1981.
Highlights for me: The visit to Townes Van Zandt's caravan and the Christmas party at Guy and Susanna Clark (especially Steve Earle singing Mercenary Song).
Heartworn Highways (full movie):
A Complete List of Songs Performed in Movie:
Guy Clark – "L.A. Freeway"
Larry Jon Wilson – "Ohoopee River Bottomland"
David Allan Coe – "Keep on Trucking"
Big Mack McGowan & Glenn Stagner "The Doctor's Blues"
Guy Clark – "That Old Time Feeling"
Townes Van Zandt – "Waitin' Around to Die"
David Allan Coe – "I Still Sing the Old Songs"
Barefoot Jerry – "Two Mile Pike"
Rodney Crowell – "Bluebird Wine"
Steve Young – "Alabama Highway"
Guy Clark – "Texas Cooking"
Gamble Rogers – "Black Label Blues"
Peggy Brooks – "Lets Go All the Way"
The Charlie Daniels Band – "Texas"
David Allan Coe – "Penitentiary Blues"
David Allan Coe – "River"
Steve Earle – "Elijah's Church" (partial)
Ensemble – "Silent Night"
Townes Van Zandt – Pancho & Lefty (extra on the dvd):
The documentary covers singer-songwriters whose songs are more traditional to early folk and country music instead of following in the tradition of the previous generation. Some of film's featured performers are Guy Clark,Townes Van Zandt, Steve Earle, David Allan Coe, Rodney Crowell, Gamble Rogers, Steve Young, and The Charlie Daniels Band. The movie features the first known recordings of Grammy award winners Steve Earle and Rodney Crowell who were quite young at the time and appear to be students of mentor Guy Clark. Steve Earle was also a big fan of Van Zandt at the time.
Steve Earle and Rodney Crowell – Stay a Little Longer (extra on dvd):
The beginning of the movie shows Larry Jon Wilson in a recording studio shortly after he had been woken up for the movie after having been partying all night after a gig into the morning. The film maker goes to Austin and visits Townes Van Zandt at his trailer (At what is now 14th and Charlotte in the Clarksville neighborhood of downtown Austin) and his girlfriend Cindy, his dog Geraldine, Rex "Wrecks" Bell, and Uncle Seymour Washington (born 1896; died 1977) at his place, who is also called "The Walking Blacksmith", and who gives his great worldly advice to the viewers and represents a very important aspect of the atmosphere that these songwriters living in the South are surrounded by and involved in.
Steve Earle talks about Clarksville, Townes, and Heartworn Highways:
Steve Earle – Mercenary Song (Extra on the dvd):
The movie shows Charlie Daniels completely fill a big high school gymnasium. Then the camera man, sound recorder and director join David Allan Coe and film him playing a gig at the Tennessee State Prison where he admits to being a former inmate and tells a story of being there and seems to bring out friends of his onto the stage who still are inmates there and they perform a gospel number "Thank You Jesus" that they used to sing in the yard. The end of the movie shows a drinking party that starts Christmas Eve and ends sometime Christmas Day at Guy Clark's house in Nashville with Guy, Susanna Clark, Steve Young, Rodney Crowell, Steve Earle, Jim McGuire (playing the dobro), along with several other guests. Steve Young leads the group in a rendition of Hank Williams' song "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" and Rodney Crowell leads everyone in "Silent Night".
Guy Clark – Country Morning Music (Extra on dvd):
Richard Dobson – Forever, For Always, For Certain (Extra on dvd):
David Allan Coe – Thank You Jesus (DVD Extra):

By Janet Gilmore, Public Affairs
John Dwyer, the John H. Boalt professor of law, has been named to succeed Herma Hill Kay as dean of the law school.
The appointment requires approval by the board of regents. It is expected that Dwyer, a prominent environmental law scholar, will become dean on July 1.
"John Dwyer's scholarly record shows that he is superbly qualified to lead Boalt Hall," said Chancellor Berdahl. "I was impressed by his distinguished service at the law school over the past 16 years and his plans to lead the school to new levels of excellence.
"Berkeley has long been committed to achieving both excellence and diversity," Berdahl noted. "Nowhere is a diverse student body and faculty more important than in law, where we are training the future lawyers and judges who will be serving in an increasingly diverse society. Professor Dwyer fully embraces the importance of that objective."
Dwyer, 48, received his J.D. from the law school in 1980 and will become the second graduate to serve as dean in the school's 106-year history. He will share that distinction with Frank Newman, who was dean from 1961 to 1966. Dwyer also holds a Ph.D. in chemical physics from the California Institute of Technology, where he was a National Science Foundation Fellow.
"The law school is not bricks and mortar," said Dwyer, "but a community of faculty, students, staff and alumni. Although each of us is pursuing individual intellectual interests, we share a common goal to build a thriving intellectual community that embraces a diverse range of scholarly views and educates the finest students in the nation. It will continue to be a place where faculty and students flourish in their research, teaching and studies."
Dwyer said the school must continue its efforts to ensure a diverse student body. "Aggressive outreach and recruiting are critically important; we also need to build existing and new curricular programs that will bring a broad cross section of students to Boalt," he said.
Dwyer joined the faculty in 1984, and in 1997, received the law school's Rutter Award for Excellence in Teaching. He served as associate dean from 1992 to 1994 and currently is chairman of the Berkeley Campus Budget Committee.
Kay, who has served as dean for the past eight years, said Dwyer "will be an excellent dean. John knows the school from the perspectives of a student, a faculty member and -- because he spent two years as my associate dean -- as an administrator. He is committed to maintaining and improving the excellence of the law school."

After hearing about the Jefferson, PA hillclimb Superhawk, I tried to find some info on it. While I couldn't find a lick of evidence of the hillclimb bike, I found another Superhawk. The author of these web pages is halarious! Click here for the SV650. Trust me, it's a very funny read! You can then read about his Superhawk, which is his track bike, and learn how he got it from a pig farmer.
I haven't read his other articles yet, but i can only assume they are just as fun to read.
"and since an Harley can only do 60mph down a mineshaft with a strong wind from behind, you get the stealth effect of going fast while appearing slow, sweet."

The Agricultural Flat Rate Scheme
| on: Mon 22nd Jan 2018 By Alex Millar in: Tax, VAT Support Services
The Agricultural Flat Rate Scheme (the Scheme) is an alternative to VAT registration for farmers and other businesses involved in agricultural production activities.
Currently users of the Scheme can add an amount of 4% to invoices issued to VAT registered customers, and those customers can recover the amount as if it was VAT.
Users of the Scheme keep this amount but are unable to recover VAT on costs as input tax.
As a general point, the Scheme is only of financial benefit to businesses that incur costs with a small amount (less than 4%) of VAT relative to their turnover. For example, a farming business with turnover of £200,000 could potentially gain if the business incurred VAT of less than £8,000. If the VAT on costs amounted to more than this the business would be better off registering for VAT.
Many farming businesses will incur VAT equivalent to much more than 4% of turnover and will prefer to be registered for VAT so that the VAT can be recovered as input tax, subject to the normal rules.
The policy of HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), as published in the 18 October 2012 edition of VAT Notice 700/46, is that an application to use the Scheme will be refused if the applicant would stand to gain more than £3,000 (compared to a normal VAT registration) in the year following the application. Under EU law, it is possible for HMRC to exclude certain categories of farmers from using the Scheme, but the Court of Justice of the European Communities has decided that farmers that would stand to gain by using the Scheme cannot be regarded as a category of farmer that can be excluded from using the Scheme.
It remains to be seen if or when HMRC will publish a revised edition of VAT Notice 700/46 to reflect the Court decision. In the meantime, businesses that would stand to gain more than £3,000 by using the Scheme could consider submitting an application to HMRC and refer HMRC to the Court decision in Shields & Sons Partnership [2017] EUECJ C-262/16.

Come for the family. Stay for the food.
After months of planning, your family reunion is almost here! Before trains, planes, and automobiles arrive, take care of all those last-minute touches at Publix, from ingredients for secret family recipes to essentials like paper plates and napkins. Here are a few reminders of those all-important details for the most epic family reunion yet.
Traveling is tiring, so keep up your family members' spirits with some tasty treats. Think of snacks that are easy to graze on, like bowls of nuts, crispy rice treats, and cookies. Also grab snacks for the little ones, like bananas, carrot sticks, and apple slices.
Your family always saves room for dessert. The night before the big event, prepare desserts from generations-old recipes with fresh ingredients from Publix. With in-season berries from our Produce department, your family will be oohing and ahhing all day. No time for baking? We have you covered. Our Bakery department has a variety of delicious pies and goodies to choose from.
On the morning of the big day, it's important to keep up everyone's energy! Even though there will be plenty of food later, make sure there are breakfast options like juice, pancakes, eggs, fruit, and cereal. That way everyone will have enough fuel to help organize, prep, and decorate for the big party.
Speaking of decorating, flowers will always make the perfect centerpiece to a party table. Pick some flowers or greenery that won't compete with the delicious food smells. If you want to make a big impression, put several smaller bouquets among the many tables in your picnic pavilion or rented hall. Ask an associate in the Floral department for help on what to select.
No time to fix side dishes? No problem. The Publix Deli has many grab-and-go items such as collard greens, coleslaw, potato salads, and mac & cheese. They have all the taste of home, so you can spend time catching up with your long-distance relatives instead of cooking.
If you're hosting the group at your home, the dishwasher will get plenty of use. Using paper plates, cups, and bowls can save hours of cleanup time. Get more napkins than you think you need, since nobody's ever been to a family reunion where something wasn't spilled. Plus with all those sauces, things are bound to get messy!
