I talk about horror films, ghosts, and Woo Ming Jin's short film DOUBLE (The Star, 26th of October, 2012)
Last week, just before I returned to Tokyo, I did an email interview with Phyllis Ho of R.AGE (the weekly youth section of The Star) about Woo Ming Jin's DOUBLE (which I co-wrote, produced and edited), and also horror films in general. I assume it's for Halloween. The article came out a few days ago.
Here's my part:
Ever watched a horror movie and think to yourself – which sick freak came up with this? Who comes up with these dark, terrifying stories for a living, and why do they do it?
Well if you have, today's your lucky day (though some would say we just jinxed it). We found a few horror storytellers just to get a glimpse into why they do what they do, how they do it, and why people keep coming back for more of the horror they have to offer.
First up is award-winning Malaysian filmmaker Edmund Yeo, 28, who was hand-picked by the YOMYOMF YouTube network to write and produce a horror film in conjunction with Halloween.
The movie, Double, which Yeo made together with fellow filmmaker Woo Ming Jin, is part of YOMYOMF's "Silent Terror Anthology", made specifically to scare the daylights out of YouTube users this Halloween.
You won't hear many people saying this, but for Yeo, the experience of watching a horror movie is a "weird and beautiful feeling".
"The appeal of horror movies comes from the fact that it taps right into our primal emotion of fear. It can be such an engrossing experience. Especially in the cinema, when you are screaming together with other audience members, you are sharing some very private emotions with strangers around you," he says.
Double stars local beauty Carmen Soo and newcomer Candy Lee, and the entire film is shot without any dialogue, and the everything happens during the day.
The "fun" in making a horror film, says Yeo, is playing with the audience's perception.
"I think it is more disturbing when you can see our protagonist, a secondary school student, committing a gruesome murder in broad daylight. Nothing more is left to your imagination," he says.
The actual article is here, worth a read because it also features interviews with a few others, including a ghost hunter!
Because of the length of the article, some stuff from the original interview were excised. So I'm sharing my full answers on this blog instead.
(On working on the horror genre for the very first time.)
"It's quite a challenge, because I've never done anything like this before! My previous works as a director were usually melancholic tales of longing and loss. Even though I had ghosts appearing in my films, they functioned more as metaphors or symbols than to serve up scares!
My filmmaking partner Woo Ming Jin, on the other hand, has had experiences with horror films. He directed a "found footage" horror film called Seru last year, and also the upcoming KL Zombie.
So we hoped that blending our talents together would lead us to very interesting results."
(On how we got our inspiration for the film.)
"By going through a lot of horror films from the past. We were inspired by older psychological horror films like Roman Polanski's "Rosemary's Baby" and Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining". Our intention was to make an existential horror film that veers away from some genre conventions. Most horror films are shot at night, or in darkness, we decided to make a film bathed entirely in beautiful sunlight. I think it is more disturbing when you can actually see our protagonist (played by Candy Lee as a teenager, and by Carmen Soo as an adult), a secondary school student, committing a gruesome murder under the broad daylight. Nothing more is left to your imagination."
(On whether the cast and crew faced any supernatural encounters or unusual happenings during the shoot)
"Thankfully, none of that happened! The shoot lasted only for two days, we were surprised by how smooth it went. In fact, we were laughing and joking the whole time, and worked mostly in a leisurely, relaxing pace. If you had visited our film set, you would have thought that we were doing a comedy instead of a brutal horror film."
(On what I think of local chinese horror legends like the hungry ghost, water ghost, "jiang shi" (chinese vampire) etc and whether I believe in their existence)
"I think most legends have had some basis in fact, the passing of time may have made them sound improbable, but I wouldn't be surprised if something supernatural or miraculous had happened in the past that started these legends and folklores. We live in an interesting world anyway."
(On whether I loved listening to ghost stories when I was young and whether I was frightened by them.)
As a child, I was quite a voracious reader of horror books written by RL Stine and Christoper Pike (and later, Stephen King), not all of them were that scary, but quite a few managed keep me awake at night!
(On why I think people love watching horror movies?)
In my opinion, the appeal of horror movies comes from the fact that it taps right into our primal emotion of fear. You watch comedies to laugh, you watch horror movies to feel scared. It can be such an engrossing experience. Especially in the cinema, when you are screaming together with other audience members, or laughing nervously, you are sharing some very private emotions with strangers around you. It's a weird and beautiful feeling.
In case you still haven't seen DOUBLE, here you go.
You can even choose the view all four films of the SILENT TERROR anthology here now that they have all been uploaded!
Double Media Mention Woo Ming Jin
Cinema Paradiso. Original vs New Version
**Mild spoiler warning for both versions of Cinema Paradiso**
Was watching the director's cut version of Cinema Paradiso (called the 'New Version') on DVD with my dad a few nights ago. Now already regarded as a classic, I've definitely heard of this 1988 Italian film (made in 1988, released internationally in 1990... I think) for a really long time, but never really had the opportunity to find either the chance, or the mood to watch it even though my dad has the DVD of the original for years.
Dad managed to borrow the Cinema Paradiso: New Version DVD from his friend, which he hadn't seen, so we watched it together. Father and son watching a nice coming-of-age story of a boy and his friendship with a father figure, awesome.
To the uninitiated, film's about a famous film director who returns home to a Sicilian village for the first time after almost 30 years to attend a funeral of Alfredo, an old friend. He reminisces about his childhood at the Cinema Paradiso wh…
The Short Fiction of Yukio Mishima
Mishima is a writer associated with scale and grand gestures. Apart from his colorful life and the obviously theatrical nature of his public suicide, his novels are full of, to put it bluntly, action - in a 'literary fiction' genre often filled with tepid introspection and obsessive minimalism, that Mishima's books are full of swordfighting, arson, suicide, and desperate tragedy is definitely part of his appeal. Although his writing is capable of great subtlety, restraint, and delicate beauty, these qualities usually form one half of a chiaroscuric contrast, shadowing the dense psychological monologues and eruptions of violence.
Remembering Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui
During the last few hours, I was wondering why everyone's suddenly posting photos and videos of Leslie Cheung on Facebook. An internet meme I knew nothing about?
And then I remembered that he died on the 1st of April, 9 years ago.
R. I. P. Izumi Sakai (Zard)
Updated (September 2, 2012): Zard is a pop group. And Izumi Sakai was its lead vocalist and leader. I always referred to her as Zard because to me, she WAS Zard. But I decide to revise this blog post so that I can try to separate the Sakai the person, from the group.
I was pretty shocked when I read about singer-songwriter Izumi Sakai's death on today's newspapers.
Karayuki-san: The forgotten Japanese prostitution era
Been in seclusion the past week to write my screenplay. It's not an easy one to write, so it's been taking a lot of my energies. I have kinda cut myself away from the rest of the world, spending almost every night in McDonald's.
There's no point telling you all that much about it since it's still in its infancy.
Sometimes, I do some heavy researches while I prepare a script (or a shoot). Do a film marathon that could help inspire me, go through books, scour through the net, do some email interviews etc. A lot of excavation is needed.
Back in July, when I started developing the idea for my screenplay, I suddenly stumbled upon a piece of information that actually rocked my world.

Pasadena Water and Power must start changing…
Pasadena Water and Power must start changing climate change: Opinion
PUBLISHED: January 10, 2014 at 6:53 p.m. | UPDATED: August 29, 2017 at 9:23 a.m.
Apart from its aggravated climatic effects, carbon dioxide is advertised as benign. But is it? News was made in early 2013 when the atmosphere's background CO2 concentration rose to 400 parts per million. Down here on Earth's surface, CO2 levels in poorly ventilated rooms full of people can easily reach three times that concentration, leading to stuffiness and drowsiness for the occupants. Yet if all fossil fuel reserves on Earth are extracted and burned this century, the residue from that combustion along with contributions from the toppling of subsequent climate tipping points will lead to commensurate global CO2 levels everywhere of some 1,500 ppm.
Picture a world full of sleepyheads where cognitive processes are impaired by breathing fresh air.
Can that happen? Well it might, because real CO2 is invisible and odorless. On the other hand, smog has a brownish hue caused by nitrogen dioxide. If fossil-fuel derived CO2 manifested itself like smog, then people would have been up in arms about CO2 pollution long ago.
Here's the reason that we'd have noticed it: smog molecules exist in air at concentrations of parts per billion, meaning a thousand times fewer molecules per breath than CO2. When coming out the tailpipe of automobiles, though, CO2 is present in concentrations of about 120,000 parts per million. If that were NO2, it would be a black plume of smoke opaque to all but the most powerful spotlight. A natural gas-fired power plant sends slightly less CO2 up its stack, about 90,000 ppm. So if fossil-fuel derived CO2 behaved visually like NO2 we'd understand intuitively why Earth's temperature is ever more quickly ratcheting upward: the (visible) CO2 haze blanketing the Los Angeles basin would be 1 million times thicker than a bad smog day. We'd be blinded by it.
When change needs to happen, and especially when the direction of change is uncertain, a useful planning aid is to envision the future you want, thereby facilitating and motivating the actions necessary to secure that outcome.
So what do we want for Pasadena in say, 2030? Will it be a city electrified by fossil fuel combustion, or will it be a 21st century trail blazer in resiliency, sustainability and efficiency? I envision it becoming a climate leader after Pasadena Water and Power renounces fossil fuels. Having PWP construct a 100 percent clean energy grid might cost ratepayers a few dollars more, but it's pocket change compared to the higher water bills predicted for Southern California because of deepening climate change-induced drought.
Here's a way that Pasadena residents can engage on this issue and make a difference.
Starting in early 2014 PWP is initiating a review of its Integrated Resource Plan. This plan, open to public comment, lays out Pasadena's vision of its electricity sources over the next 15 to 20 years. PWP's baseline view for 2030 forecasts a mixture of renewables and conventional fossil fuel sources, with roughtly 35 percent of electricity coming from fracked natural gas. Yet this baseline is a timid design that comes from planners looking too intently in the rear-view mirror of utility power management. We can do much better than that. Just as with computers and cell phones, the cost of renewables, smart grids and energy storage will drop as their use multiplies. Moreover, it's already begun, as PWP itself can attest with recent Power Purchase Agreements providing green energy at costs equal to or less than natural gas generation. It may well turn out that doing the right thing but grudgingly paying a few dollars more will in fact become doing the right thing and saving money. But the City Council and PWP need to be convinced that a 100 percent clean grid is what residents want.
Here's where you can help. PWP's 2014 IRP recommendations will be presented to Pasadena's Environmental Advisory Commission in the coming months. Attend those commission meetings and provide your vision to the commissioners. Or simply tell them that a future with 100 percent clean energy matters to you. But it's important that they hear from you (repeatedly) because visions don't get implemented in isolation.
The meetings are scheduled on the third Tuesday of every month at 6 p.m. at 175 N. Garfield Avenue, Pasadena. Agendas are available the day before each meeting at their website: http://ww2.cityofpasadena.net/commissions/utility.asp.
CO2 pollution poses a threat to our future food and water security as well as to our children's livelihoods. Let's change climate change starting now.

So I dont own an 86, yet. I started saving to import a GT-S from the land of freedom to the land of ... uhm not so freedom. I hope I'll be able to get it on the road whatever it takes (if you guys got some info on that I'd appreciate it). Dreaming about a blacktop with ITBs cause it sounds so nice .
So yeah, see you in the projects section in a couple of years, hopefully.

Having owned both a USDM and JDM I can say it doesn't matter that much to sit on the wrong side of the road. Also the Japanese market is full of modified cars, so if you import one yourself you can pick and choose your modifications.


The HCG diet program has recently become a popular way to lose weight, and it's easy to see why. This powerful diet plan has helped dieters lose weight and keep it off for good, ending the viscous yo-yo dieting cycle that many people normally experience. The diet program offers a safe, effective and long-lasting solution to weight loss and weight management. Take a look at just a few of the many advantages of using the HCG diet program to lose weight.
With the HCG diet you will begin to drop a lot of weight right from the get-go. Most participants experience an average weight loss of around .5 to 2 pounds a day. While this may seem extreme, it is actually very safe and doable thanks to the help of the HCG supplement. HCG is a naturally occurring hormone in the body, and when the right dosage is consumed it has been shown to help dieters achieve their goals. HCG does this by interacting with the hypothalamus in order to suppress hunger, boost metabolic functions, curb cravings, increase energy and reduce anxiety.
Years ago the only way to try the HCG diet was to use HCG injections. Today, however, clinical tests have proven HCG oral drops to be just as effective as HCG injections. Not surprisingly HCG injections contributed to the risk involved with the HCG diet.
HCG diet drops fueled the already huge demand for the HCG diet program because you get the same results as you do with HCG injections but with the hassle (and pain) of needles. Read our reviews of the HCG drops that give the best results.
When you embark on the HCG diet program, you will be improving your overall health dramatically. This is because the diet is quite restricted. You will lessen your dependence on sugar while developing a taste for whole foods, veggies and lean meats. The diet will help change how you feel towards food and will set the tone for a healthier life.
Most diets are only effective as long as the diet lasts – this is not so with the HCG program. Part of the reason for this is that the HCG you consume helps to retrain your body in how it stores and uses fat. The HCG targets abnormal fat in the body to be used as energy. As a result, any excess weight is used up while the empty fat cells are absorbed so they are not sitting there to be filled up again. Another reason, as mentioned above, will be your new outlook and relationship with food. You'll have much fewer cravings for bad food and will learn to appreciate and love good-for-you foods.
In addition to losing weight and being healthier, you will also notice an improvement in your moods and outlook on life. With the HCG diet program, you'll have higher self-esteem, higher confidence, fewer mood swings and reduced headaches. By embarking on this diet, you are setting yourself up for a much healthier, happier you altogether.
Women face unique challenges when trying to lose weight compared to men. For starters, the female body stores and holds onto fat much more readily than men do. This is because the hormones in women are there to prepare for childbirth and breastfeeding. This means the weight goes on much easier and takes longer to fall off than with men, and the weight tends to affect different areas on women such as the hips, thighs, chest, bottom and stomach.
If you are a woman who has decided to embark on the HCG diet, you will find that the weight will immediately begin to fall off your "trouble" areas. However, if you still want to do as much as possible to get into shape and shift those unwanted pounds, you may want to consider incorporating an exercise routine to go along with the diet. While rigorous exercise is not recommended, there are certain activities you can do that will help maximize your weight loss.
One of the best exercises you can do while on the HCG diet is power walking and light jogging. By adding an extra 30 minutes of walking each day, you will begin to see the results immediately. The great thing about walking is that it is low impact and requires very little energy to accomplish. It's also very convenient – all you need are a good pair of shoes to get you going.
Yoga is a fantastic way for women to get exercise while on the diet. Yoga is also low-impact, but just an hour of it will improve your physiology dramatically. It is also a good way to stay centered and balanced when the diet feels tough or if you happen to have a bad day and need a release.
Another fun way to get in some exercise is low impact aerobics. Most gyms offer free classes that vary in tempo and technique. Whichever class you decide to try, whether it be step or salsa dancing, the result will be a fun way to get in some much needed cardiovascular activity. When you raise your heart rate during a class, you are burning extra calories while also improving your overall metabolism. Plus, these classes are a great way to meet other women in a similar position who can help you stay motivated.
Strenuous exercise is not allowed on the diet, but that does not mean you have to avoid weights altogether. You can incorporate some light free weights a few times a week to help strengthen your muscles and increase your metabolic rate. Using light weights is also a good way to strengthen your bones as it will help build up the calcium in your body.
The HCG diet program has many great results such as immense weight loss, increased metabolism and higher energy levels. However, another positive side effect is the control of candida yeast overgrowth in the body.
Candida grows and occurs naturally in the body, often without any harmful results. However, candida overgrowth is quite common and can affect different parts of the body. Yeast infections in and on the body can cause discomfort, embarrassment and serious long-term problems if not addressed right away. The overgrowth also causes a decrease of the naturally occurring HCG in your body. However, by partaking in the HCG diet, you reintroduce the helpful HCG while diminishing yeast overgrowth.
The overgrowth of candida yeast in the body can be caused by taking a long course of prescribed antibiotics. The reason for this is that the antibiotics do not make the distinction between good and bad bacteria in the body, and will kill off the healthy bacteria in the gut. This healthy bacteria is what helps keep the yeast in the body at a low and controlled level. You can also trigger the problem by eating certain foods and having unbalanced enzymes in the digestive tract.
By partaking in the HCG diet plan, you are helping to reduce the overgrowth of yeast by keeping your HCG levels at an adequate level. This helps to rebalance your body while helping boost the good microflora in your digestive track. Plus, the HCG diet requires you to eat very healthy foods while limiting starchy and yeast filled foods in the body. Additionally, the HCG drops will help boost serotonin in levels which will make you feel happier and more optimistic – exactly what you need to help keep your diet on track. With the HCG diet program, you'll be able to keep candida yeast overgrowth at bay while living a much healthier and happier life overall.
Dieting is one thing that many people struggle with. It's something that many people out there should be doing. However, what they find is that in many instances, dieting is something that they shouldn't do alone. Support is the key to dieting.
Temptation is all around a person who diets. There are many ways to go and get foods that are easy, however they aren't good for us. When this happens, they find that it's hard to resist that urge. That is why many dieting programs make it that there are ways that those on the diet can talk to one another.
Talking is therapeutic. There are times when people diet that they think that they are all alone. They think that they face the struggles alone. Then, they start talking to other people and find that they aren't alone. It might be something that many people struggle with.
Often times when they start talking with other people, they might also find that those people who have conquered these problems can often offer tips on how to get through it. Things that the common person who isn't dieting wouldn't know, those who have been there and done that know just what to do and it's nice to have someone on the side.
Many of the programs that you a person see on the television, they find that there are communities. They also have a person come in and talk to someone. They counsel them on what they might be doing wrong. They might also hold a person accountable when they are dieting as sometimes, our own judgment is just not enough when they want to stick a regimen. Often times, there are things one might not even know they are doing until it's pointed out. When they talk to people, they find that they have slipped into habits that they don't even know they were doing.
There are some that think that they have to hide the fact that they are dieting. They are ashamed to tell people that they are overweight when people can see it clearly. However, there are things that can be good about not hiding the dieting that they might be doing.
For starters, a person might be able to help others who are fumbling when they diet. Many find that when they tell a person that they have been dieting, they find that the others have been dieting as well. They might ask how it's going and they find that they can talk about it as some have been there and can tell them where they might have went wrong.
Hiding dieting puts more stress on a person. When they don't tell they are hiding it the best they can. They are trying to find when they can fit in meals and so much more. Dieting in the open is stressful enough. Why add more stress to it?
Then, what one has happen to them when they hide dieting is that people go about and try pushing them into eating. How many people out there have been at a table where they are telling someone to try this or try that? They try to give every excuse that they can, but then what they find is that they have to act like they ate it when they didn't really eat it at all? Many of us have been in that place. However, if they weren't hiding it, most people will respect them and let it be.
While there are some people out there who think that they are doing the right thing by hiding it, they aren't doing anything, but making it harder on themselves. Keep this in mind as one might start a diet and need a little encouragement with coming out of the closet. It's not a fun place to be and it's definitely not making things easier on them. Help them out and give them the support that they might be afraid they won't get if they don't go about and tell people.

Get regular exercise, dress in layers and try to pinpoint what triggers your hot flashes. For many women, triggers may include hot beverages, spicy foods, alcohol, hot weather and even a warm room.
Use over-the-counter water-based vaginal lubricants (Astroglide, K-Y) or moisturizers (Replens, Vagisil). Staying sexually active also helps.
Avoid caffeine and plan to exercise during the day, although not right before bedtime. Relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, guided imagery and progressive muscle relaxation, can be very helpful when it comes to menopause symptom relief. You can find a number of books and tapes on different relaxation exercises. If hot flashes disturb your sleep, you may need to find a way to manage them before you can get adequate rest.
Eat a balanced diet that includes a variety of fruits, vegetables and whole grains and that limits saturated fats, oils and sugars. Aim for 1,200 to 1,500 milligrams of calcium and 800 international units of vitamin D a day. Ask your doctor about supplements to help you meet these menopause diet requirements, if necessary.
Smoking increases your risk of heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis, cancer and a range of other health problems. It may also increase hot flashes and bring on earlier menopause. It's never too late to benefit from stopping smoking.
Get at least 30 minutes of moderate-intense physical activity on most days to protect against cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and other conditions associated with aging. More vigorous exercise for longer periods may provide further benefit and is particularly important if you're trying to lose weight. Exercise can also help reduce stress.
Preliminary studies show that yoga — an exercise regimen that involves controlled breathing, posing and meditation — may be effective in decreasing the number of hot flashes in perimenopausal women. Yoga classes are often offered at health clubs or through community education programs. Sign up for a class to learn how to perform yoga postures and breathing correctly.


It can be a real task to keep the rooms in your home evenly heated, especially during the coldest days of winter. Ensuring the rooms in your home are evenly heated hinges on many different factors. Luckily, there are also quite a few things you can do to correct the problem.
If your room is too stuffy, what can you do? Most people simply close the vent to fix the problem. What they don't realize is that doing this can throw off the balance of your system and end up reduce your energy efficiency.
Not only does your furnace move hot air through your home to heat it, it removes cooler air from your inside your home. If your cold air returns are obstructed, your furnace can't do its job. Keeping these vents clear will allow your furnace to operate properly and help it regulate room temperatures better.
We can't tell you enough times how important regular maintenance is to the proper and efficient operation of your heating and cooling system. Our experts can help keep your system running well by completing small tasks like changing filters and bigger jobs like identifying potential repairs before they happen or repairing major issues like replacing a broken circuit board. No matter what maintenance or repairs need to be done, we'll keep your home cozy.
Certain rooms in your home may be more removed and are therefore more challenging to heat. Ensuring your thermostat has the fan switch "On" instead of on "Auto" can help. When the fan is switched to "On," your furnace will keep air moving from room to room and create a more even temperature.
We have even more ideas for heating your home more evenly, and we're just a phone call away at 515-344-3579. If you'd prefer. Our job is to make sure you experience maximum comfort in your home.

Unless you plan on using an original arcade monitor that is CGA based, most boards, unless specified otherwise simply require a monitor with a VGA input. The only other thing to keep in mind with the monitors is the orientation. Some game boards are VERTICAL (Portrait), some are HORIZONTAL (Landscape). Most boards are horizontal, but good to keep a look out. The popular 60-in-1 board, is vertical.


There are 1 day and 3 day courses are for any student who has completed a 10-day course with S. N. Goenka and his assistant teachers. We encourage you to apply if it has been some time since your last course. One day courses are from 8am-5pm, longer courses begin at 2-4 PM the first day and end by 7:30am or 5 PM the last day.

PLEASANTON – For the second night in a row, the Altoona-Midway High School boys held the lead entering the final quarter.
For the second night in a row, the Jets couldn't hold on.
Marmaton Valley outscored Altoona-Midway 20-14 in the final eight minutes to post an exciting 58-53 victory in the seventh place game of the Pleasanton Tournament here Friday night.
In other final-day action of the Pleasanton Tournament, the Lady Jets had a terrible first period and never recovered as they fell, 48-23, also to Marmaton Valley and also in a seventh-place contest.
Marmaton Valley jumped out to a 14-7 first-quarter lead, but the Jets rallied to take a 27-24 lead into halftime. Altoona-Midway still held a narrow 39-38 advantage entering the final stanza.
"The last quarter really doomed us again tonight," said AMHS head coach Jeff Almond. "We have to be more disciplined and stay out of foul trouble. We need to learn to play to win instead of playing not to lose. I am confident that we can overcome this and play better as we continue to improve.
AMHS junior Caden Carter led the Jets with 19 points, while freshman Jackson Ashmore tossed in 16. Clement Huffman also contributed 10 points and hauled down seven rebounds, despite the Jets' lone senior having to sit out for a while after suffering an eye injury.
Rounding out the scoring for the Jets were Dayton Marsh with five points and Dawson Ashmore with three. Griffith scorched the nets for 24 points for the Wildcats.
The Lady Wildcats stormed out to a 20-0 lead after the first eight minutes of play. The Lady Jets refused to fold and were outscored just 28-23 the rest of the way, but by that time the damage had been done.
"After a first quarter where we couldn't catch a break, our girls played a good game and played Marmaton Valley within five points," said AMHS girls' head coach Ron Rice. "We couldn't take advantage of open shots going 2-for-12 in the paint in the first half and 4-for-26 overall for the half. We did a much better job at being more aggressive and efficient in the 2nd half." Michala Kinzle had another great night for the Lady Jets, finding the nets for 17 points. Mariah Stackhouse accounted for the other six points for AMHS.
Marmaton Valley got a gigantic offensive performance from Griffith, who finished with 28 points. No one else had more than six for the Lady Wildcats.
Stackhouse led the Lady Jets on the boards with 11, while Kinzle grabbed eight and Natalie Davis hauled in five.
Both Altoona-Midway teams will have a full week of practice before resuming play Friday, Jan. 25, at Oswego.

Watch Matt LeBlanc Sing Some Hilarious Joey Classics From Friends
By Ayanna Julien
Joey Tribbiani is back! Well, sort of. Actor Matt LeBlanc channeled his old character from Friends through song on The Graham Norton Show, and it's hilarious. Take a look.
In the clip from BBC One's The Graham Norton Show, Matt LeBlanc—current star of the Showtime hit Episodes—channeled his Joey Tribbiani character from the NBC sitcom, Friends. As funny as that may be, in and of itself, the actor actually sang a couple of Joey's classic songs, which even LeBlanc himself couldn't stop laughing about. Who knew the former Friends star still remembered anything about that character, much less two songs very specific from obscure moments for the character on the show? Then again, Friends did last for ten seasons, and earned the stars a record breaking million dollar payday per episode by the last season, I would think it would be hard to forget a gig like that as well.
With little coaxing from host Graham Norton, LeBlanc recalled Episode 4 when his character Joey got the lead part in a play about Sigmund Freud, before busting out into song. You have to give it to LeBlanc for his great memory, and his singing isn't all that bad either. The best part, however, was the second song. Naturally, if you're a true Friends fan, the "Hand Song" is probably one of your favorites. Luckily for those true fans, the Episodes star didn't disappoint, even though he did hesitate just briefly as if there were a possibility that he didn't remember the words. Ha, never!
Who could forget the Friends episode "The One in Vegas: Part 2," where Joey first sang the "Hand Song" to none other than his hand twin. Yes, Joey Tribbiani had a hand twin and when he found the poor guy he did what only Joey would do in a situation like that: he pursued him for a joint business venture. Joey even followed the guy into the restroom, which is where he sang him the "Hand Song." As you probably could tell from the lyrics in the video, the words were clearly made up on the spot, but that was Joey and he obviously made quite an impression on the actor who played him as well.
LeBlanc isn't the only actor from the hit show Friends still being asked about the series. In fact, for years since the NBC sitcom concluded, rumors have circulated about the possibility of a reunion, to no avail. Recently, actress Courtney Cox—who played Monica Gellar—was probed about the persisting rumor. But this time, the rumor may have been permanently shut down when Cox offered that it will never happen, likely because of David Schwimmer—aka Ross Gellar—holding out and the fact that all of the actors from the show have never been in the same place at the same time since the show ended.

David Johnston, Governor General of Canada, officially opened the first Canadian-led accelerator in India, a joint venture between the Bombay Stock Exchange Institute Ltd. (BIL), Ryerson University of Toronto, Ryerson Futures Inc. (RFI), and Simon Fraser University.
The new India-based incubator, the BIL-Ryerson DMZ India, will assist entrepreneurs to fast-track their startups and connect with mentors, customers and investors.
It is located at the Bombay Stock Exchange Institute and is built upon Ryerson's model for its successful Digital Media Zone incubator in Toronto.
The collaboration between BIL, Ryerson and RFI lays the groundwork to help young entrepreneurs expand into both the Indian and Canadian markets and also touches on a broad spectrum of areas in the domain of entrepreneurship development and professional development education.
"The very first Ryerson international fellowships for brilliant young entrepreneurs were announced here in India in 2011," said Sheldon Levy, president of Ryerson University.
Speaking about the development, Ambarish Datta, CEO of BIL, said, "India will be one of the youngest nations in the world by 2020 and this changing demographic condition will mean that we need to gear up to provide employment to a large number of youth.
"We believe that creating skilled entrepreneurs will be the most effective means of engaging youth and providing gainful employment not only to the youth who pursue the path of entrepreneurship, but also to hundreds of youth they will in turn employ.
The BIL-Ryerson DMZ India is built on a unique model developed at Ryerson University that has attracted international attention.
The Digital Media Zone at Ryerson University (DMZ) is one of Canada's largest incubators and multidisciplinary co-working spaces for young entrepreneurs.

Q: how to test axios interceptors with jest In my project, I have a namespace that exports some functions that use Axios, in the same file I add an interceptor to axios instance like that :
axios.interceptors.response.use(
    (res) => res,
    (error) => {
      if (
        error.response &&
        (error.response.status?.toString() === "400" ||
          error.response.status?.toString() === "403" ||
          error.response.status?.toString() === "404")
      ) {
        return Promise.reject(
          Error(JSON.stringify(error.response.data?.status?.errors[0]))
        );
      } else if (error.response) {
        return Promise.reject(
          Error(
            `server responsed with the following code: ${error.response?.status} and the following message: ${error.response?.statusText}`
          )
        );
      } else if (error.request) {
        return Promise.reject(
          Error(
            "The request was made but no response was received, check your network connection"
          )
        );
      } else Promise.reject(error);
    }
);

I want to test that this interceptor works as expected, I search the forms here and googled a lot but all the answers are basically mocking the interceptor not testing it.
I have tried:

*

*mocking the response of an axios post request and checking the AxiosPromise that gets returned but it only contained the result I mocked. it seems that it ignores the interceptor when I mock using mockResolvedValue.

*I have tried adding an interceptor to the mocked axios instance but that did not work too.

Thanks

A: What about pulling the function out and testing it without axios?
import axios, { AxiosError, AxiosResponse } from 'axios'

export const onFullfilled = (response: AxiosResponse) => {
  // Your interceptor handling a successful response
}
export const onRejected = (error: AxiosError) => {
  // Your interceptor handling a failed response
}

axios.interceptors.response.use(onFullfilled, onRejected)

Now you can test the functions onFullfilled and onRejected with less dependencies to axios.

A: You have to mock the interceptor and run the callbacks.
Here is an example on how to do it:
httpService.ts
import axios from "axios";
import { toast } from "react-toastify";

axios.interceptors.request.use((config) => {
  config.baseURL = process.env.API_URL || "http://localhost:5000";
  return config;
});

axios.interceptors.response.use(null, (error) => {
  const expectedError =
    error.response &&
    error.response.status >= 400 &&
    error.response.status < 500;

  if (!expectedError) {
    toast.error("An unexpected error occured");
  }

  return Promise.reject(error);
});

export default {
  get: axios.get,
  post: axios.post,
  put: axios.put,
  delete: axios.delete,
};

httpService.test.ts
import axios from "axios";
import { toast } from "react-toastify";
import "./httpService";

jest.mock("axios", () => ({
  __esModule: true,
  default: {
    interceptors: {
      request: { use: jest.fn(() => {}) },
      response: { use: jest.fn(() => {}) },
    },
  },
}));

const fakeError = {
  response: {
    status: undefined,
  },
};

const mockRequestCallback = (axios.interceptors.request.use as jest.Mock).mock
  .calls[0][0];
const mockResponseErrorCallback = (axios.interceptors.response.use as jest.Mock)
  .mock.calls[0][1];
const toastErrorSpy = jest.spyOn(toast, "error");

beforeEach(() => {
  toastErrorSpy.mockClear();
});

test("request error interceptor", () => {
  expect(mockRequestCallback({})).toStrictEqual({
    baseURL: "http://localhost:5000",
  });
});

test("unexpected error on response interceptor", () => {
  fakeError.response.status = 500;

  mockResponseErrorCallback(fakeError).catch(() => {});
  expect(toastErrorSpy).toHaveBeenCalled();
});

test("expected error on response interceptor", () => {
  fakeError.response.status = 400;

  mockResponseErrorCallback(fakeError).catch(() => {});
  expect(toastErrorSpy).not.toHaveBeenCalled();
});

A: Use this mock functionality
jest.mock('axios', () => {
   return {
      interceptors: {
         request: {
            use: jest.fn(),
            eject: jest.fn()
         },
         response: {
            use: jest.fn(),
            eject: jest.fn()
         },
      },
   };
});


"Pigeons Attack"? I didn't even know that was a thing. I am tempted to try it now.
Right now GamersGate has most of the Lego games on sale (some as low as 2.50 each), which can then be registered on Steam.
There are a ton of new games that are really good. I am surprised!
NEW UPDATE 01/04/19- Just an awesome week for development!
Staxel looks like a really neat little game. I might have to give it a try this week.


2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man hath an issue out of his flesh, because of his issue he is unclean.
4 Every bed whereon he that hath the issue lieth shall be unclean; and everything whereon he sitteth shall be unclean.
6 And he that sitteth on anything whereon he that hath the issue sat shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
8 And if he that hath the issue spit upon him that is clean, then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
9 And what saddle soever he that hath the issue rideth upon shall be unclean.
10 And whosoever toucheth anything that was under him shall be unclean until the even: and he that beareth those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
11 And whomsoever he that hath the issue toucheth, without having rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
12 And the earthen vessel, which he that hath the issue toucheth, shall be broken; and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.
13 And when he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue, then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes; and he shall bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean.
15 and the priest shall offer them, the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering; and the priest shall make atonement for him before Jehovah for his issue.
16 And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall bathe all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even.
18 The woman also with whom a man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the even.
19 And if a woman have an issue, `and' her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be in her impurity seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even.
20 And everything that she lieth upon in her impurity shall be unclean: everything also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean.
22 And whosoever toucheth anything that she sitteth upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
23 And if it be on the bed, or on anything whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the even.
24 And if any man lie with her, and her impurity be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and every bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean.
25 And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days not in the time of her impurity, or if she have an issue beyond the time of her impurity; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness she shall be as in the days of her impurity: she is unclean.
26 Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the bed of her impurity: and everything whereon she sitteth shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her impurity.
29 And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to the door of the tent of meeting.
30 And the priest shall offer the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her before Jehovah for the issue of her uncleanness.
31 Thus shall ye separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness, that they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is in the midst of them.
33 and of her that is sick with her impurity, and of him that hath an issue, of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lieth with her that is unclean.


A driverless pod manufactured in Coventry made its national prime time TV debut this week.
The distinctive Union Jack emblazoned Pod Zero was part of a full day's filming in the Buckinghamshire town – image courtesy of Aurrigo.
Aurrigo, the autonomous vehicle division of RDM Group, was one of the main features on the BBC's One Show on January 16, as part of a package on driverless vehicles and the trials currently taking place in Milton Keynes.
The distinctive Union Jack emblazoned Pod Zero was part of a full day's filming in Buckinghamshire town, with presenter Christine Walkden enjoying a driverless experience around its pathways.
Aurrigo's Miles Garner explained: "We have had lots of media interest in our autonomous vehicles, but this was the first time we have been on national television during prime time viewing.
Aurrigo, which was part of Coventry's successful bid for UK City of Culture 2021, designs and develops the driverless vehicles from the ground up, including the autonomous control systems and offers a full "in the field" operating service.
Its Pod Zero has an operating speed of up to 15mph, multiple battery options up to eight hours or 50 miles and can be fitted out to seat four people or cargo.
Trials are currently taking place in Milton Keynes and Adelaide, with its Australian division set to shortly announce an exciting new project due to start in April.
Garner concluded: "2018 is going to be a massive year for us as a business. The technology is maturing and we are producing pods that can be used for first/last mile transportation needs globally.


The Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) is live. Cars, motorbikes, vans, minibuses, buses, coaches and heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) in central London need to meet minimum exhaust emissions standards or pay a daily charge.
This is in addition to any Congestion Charge or Low Emission Zone (LEZ) charges that may apply.
If it doesn't you need to pay to drive within the zone(s).

Take Me Home Tonight
Take Me Home Tonight (2011)
★★ / ★★★★
Matt (Topher Grace) graduated from MIT but he recently moved back home because he didn't know what to do with his life. While working in a video store at the mall, Matt's high school crush, Tori (Teresa Palmer), walked in. Embarrassed to be seen as a clerk, Matt pretended to be another shopper and she almost immediately recognized him. Hoping to catch up, Tori invited Matt to attend a party. "Take Me Home Tonight," written by Jackie Filgo and Jeff Filgo, was a trip back to the 80s where shoulder pads and big hair reigned supreme. I was instantly drawn to it because of the wild fashion, catchy soundtrack, and the story about a young man whose life was at a standstill was relatable. However, the writers' decision to focus on the party and the crazy happenings took away some precious time for us to really understand the pain and frustration that Matt was going through. There was no doubt that the party had its share of laughs. I chuckled watching Barry (Dan Fogler), Matt's best friend, deliberately put himself into embarrassing situations. The dance-off didn't propel the story forward but it added to the nostalgia. When I can tell that the actors are having fun, I can't help but have fun, too. There was also a very funny bit involving an older woman, Barry, and a German guy who had a fetish for watching people have sex. What the picture needed was more introspective moments. There were two scenes that moved me: when Matt tried to convince Wendy (Anna Faris), his twin, not to marry her slug of a boyfriend (Chris Patt) and when Matt's father (Michael Biehn) had to perform some tough love to motivate his son to get out of the rut he had grown accustomed to. The two scenes stood out because I learned about Matt through other people. Learning about him from another perspective was important because Matt didn't really know himself. There was only one thing he wanted for sure: Tori. I wished there were less scenes between she and Matt. I understood that our protagonist was so fixated at the fantasy of being together with his high school crush and he needed to get her out of his system. She was a nice character, sure, but that was the problem: she was so nice, she was almost dull. I was more interested in Wendy and the unopened letter she had received from a prestigious graduate school in England. She was interesting because, unlike Matt, she took action to pursue her passion as a writer. She knew her career path but was weighed down by the responsibility of a romantic relationship. She had to choose. The film would have been stronger if the screenplay and direction had taken the twins and allowed them to serve as character foils for one another. Grace and Faris had wonderful chemistry. They didn't need to do physical comedy to be funny. A friendly banter and rolling of the eyes were enough to make me want to keep listening to whatever they had to say because I felt like they shared a history. The rest were filler.

Two or three days notice is usually adequate to ensure your dumpster delivery punctually. Recall the most active days have a tendency to be on Mondays and Fridays (encircling the weekend), thus when you can plan your job for the midst of the week, you've a better opportunity of finding the dumpster you need.
Most businesses in White Pigeon usually rent containers for a standard rate for 7 days, although most one time customers end up keeping their container an average of three and a half days. When you phone to allow the container, conversation with all the customer support representative about the duration of time you believe you'll need.
In case it turns out that your job takes longer than you anticipated, simply telephone the dumpster business to describe. Most businesses will bill you on a per-day basis after your initial 7 days. It is important to communicate this added demand as soon as you understand you've it since most dumpster companies have a limited number of bins that may already be reserved. Most businesses will work with you to adapt your additional rental time. Should you believe you will want the dumpster for an additional week or more, ensure that you mention that; rates may change based on a longer time period.
Whether or not you require a permanent or roll-off dumpster is dependent upon the kind of job and service you will need. Long-Lasting dumpster service is for ongoing demands that last longer than just a day or two. This includes things like day-to-day waste and recycling needs. Temporary service is simply what the name suggests; a one-time demand for project-specific waste removal.
Temporary rolloff dumpsters are delivered on a truck and are rolled off where they will be used. These are typically bigger containers that could manage all the waste that comes with that particular job. Long-Lasting dumpsters are usually smaller containers as they are emptied on a regular basis and so do not need to hold as much at one time.
If you request a long-lasting dumpster, some firms demand at least a one-year service agreement for that dumpster. Roll off dumpsters only require a rental fee for the time that you just maintain the dumpster on the job.
Dumpster rentals are one of the most affordable means to remove waste and debris from a home or commercial property. Still, it's important for you to contemplate your choices to ensure you get the very best price possible on your in White Pigeon.
Asking businesses for price quotes is one of the easiest methods to ensure you get a good deal. After speaking to a number of businesses, you can compare the estimates to decide which one matches your needs at the bottom price. When getting estimates, make sure the businesses include all the services you will desire. More than a few companies charge extra for services like drop off and pick up. They may also charge higher rates for removing particular types of materials. By having them include all the fees in your quote, you can compare the prices correctly instead of becoming mislead by a rental company that hides additional costs.
Most cities or municipalities don't have many regulations regarding in White Pigeon as long as you keep the dumpster totally on your own property during the rental period. In case you need to put your container on the street at all, you will likely have to obtain a license from the correct building permit office in your town.
Most firms in White Pigeon will take care of procuring this license for you if you rent from them. Make sure that if you're intending to put the dumpster on the street, the business has made the proper arrangements. You need to also make certain you get the license in a timely manner and at the correct cost. If you thought the dumpster company was getting a license and they did not, you will be the person who will have to pay the fine that's issued by the authorities.
The amount of money that you spend renting a dumpster in White Pigeon will depend on several factors.
The amount of time that you might want to keep the in White Pigeon will also affect the price. The the more time you keep the dumpster, the further you can expect to pay.
Eventually, they will need to pay higher costs for disposing of specific substances. If you want to add tires or appliances to the dumpster, for example, you can expect to pay somewhat more.

The Saudi factor
By William R. Brown William R. Brown, dean of the School of Arts and Sciences of Central Connecticut State College, was formerly in the US diplomatic service in the Middle East and South Asia.
Does it not seem curious that at a time when the United States has two close friends in the Arab world (Egypt and Saudi Arabia), we have managed to create political differences between them? This contradiction can be laid at the doorstep of Camp David where President Sadat repeatedly raised the subject of Saudi support, and President Carter just as often assured his Egyptian guest that he could "deliver" the Saudis. Carter, of course did not deliver.
Yet an understanding with the Saudis on Arab-israeli negotiations is important. Perhaps nothing is more basic to assuring both stability for the Middle East and a complementary platform for achieving US policy objectives than the reestablishment of the CairoRiyadh axis that emerged between Sadat and King Faisal after the 1973 war.
There are benefits in it for all. Sadat would face fewer questions at home and abroad regarding the wisdom of his close relations with the US and his recognition of Israel. The saudis would also feel more settled. There would be a basis for equanimity in dealing with Iraq -- a means of relieving current trepidation over the revolutionary potential that a newly benevolent Baghdad holds for its neighbors.
Moreover, operationg from a clearly defined Arab context, the Saudis need not keep the Us at arm's length even while they recognize so many points of view that they have in common with us. Being responsive to power in their midst, other Arabs might find the Saudi-Egyptian combination compelling, particularly jordan and maybe even Iraq. In the long run, the Israelis could profit -- once they concentrated less on short-term military security and focused on the more perserving aspects of peace and regional compatibility.
We see the importance of the Saudi-Egyptian combination from the results of Mr. Haig's April visit to the Middle East. He won few converts to his suggestion that thwarting Soviet intentions in the region through a "strategic consensus" is at least of equal importance for moderate Arabs as resolving the ARab-Israeli dispute. Considerable skepticism exists among the Arabs as to his assertion that the US can contribute simultaneously and equally to both purposes.
Many arabs have concluded that what the US really intends is to freeze further consideration of the Arab- Israeli dispute. If the Saudis are to be taken at their word, they will not turn a blind eye toward our procrastinating on the Palestinian issue while working with us on regional defense. Military supply, a one-way street with few strings attached, is the one exception.
In is not as if the Saudi factor is unknown to the Reagan administration. In the weeks after the election, criticism of Carter's policy from those around Reagan centered on the failure of Camp David to elicit Saudi support. In recent conversations with Secretary Haig in Cairo, President Sadat raised the matter again by suggesting in some detail that Haig inform Saudi leadership of Egypt's readiness to support Saudi Arabia in any and every way that could be helpful.Assuming Haig accurately conveyed the flavor of Sadat's message in his subsequent talks with Saudis, the basis for a new American initiative now exists.
Sadat recognizes the importance of Saudi-Egyptian cooperation to Middle East stability, and he apparently sees an appropriate role for the US in helping to resuscitate this relationship. The US contribution, of course, is to reinterpret certain aspects of the Camp David agreement in order to make it more compatible with Saudi perceptions, something Sadat is not free to do if he hopes to dislodge Israel from the Final third of Sinai.
The difficulty for the US is that, however attractive the stability that can emanate from the Saudi-Egyptian combination, the immediate domestic costs are high. Given the Israelis' determination to retain a position on the West Bank, rather intense US pressure on Israel combined with political assurances and economic and military largesse would be necessary to achieve the conditions under which a strategic consensus could truly be established with the Arabs. Whether if be Nixon and Kissinger, carter and Vance, or Reagan and Haig, domestic political "fall-out" gets top priority.
Thus, the US continues its embivalence. Our leaders inadvertently slip into this posture because it is the easiest course for the US to follow. In all probability, we will talk a lot but do little to achieve either a resolution of the Palestinian problem or a truly sound military capability in the Middle East.
The Middle East is a place of moods. It can thrive for a long time on promise. Today all the insights that can be gleaned from official US pronouncements point toward an inclination to avoid consideration of a basic political aspiration of the Arabs. When we assume this attitude trouble is usually in the offing. The exact nature of that trouble is unpredictable simply because all political forces at work in the Middle East cannot be identified, much less monitored or controlled.
A prominent Saudi leader is reported to have remarked not long ago that the Arabs are worse off in terms of achieving regional political objectives than at any time in the past 20 years. We may question this sense of the situation. Yet, we would do well to heed it as a warning signal and begin to readjust our official position in ways that give more consideration to the Saudi factor and to how it can contribute to regional stability and our own policy objectives. The diplomatic role now being given to the Saudis in Lebanon may indicate such a readjustment is underway.

FIRST UP Satcom | Arabsat refutes World Cup piracy involvement • Court lifts ban on Telebras-Viasat deal • Spanish MoD to buy two satellites
by Caleb Henry — July 19, 2018

Arabsat says its satellites were not used by pirate broadcasters to illegally air World Cup matches. The Riyadh, Saudi Arabia-based fleet operator said seven independent satellite communications experts verified that beoutQ, the organization accused by Qatar-based beIN Sports of pirating World Cup content, did not broadcast over Arabsat frequencies. "Arabsat has always been confident that our satellite network has not been used by beoutQ," chief executive Khalid Balkheyour said. BeIN Sports held 2018 World Cup broadcast rights for the Middle East and North Africa, but is blocked in Saudi Arabia, which imposed a trade and diplomatic boycott on Qatar last year. [Reuters]
Brazil's Supreme Court lifted a suspension of Telebras' contract with Viasat to use capacity on the Brazilian SGDC satellite. Two Brazilian companies, Via Directa and Rede Tiradentes, had filed a Federal Court lawsuit in opposition to the contract, halting Viasat's use of the satellite. Telebras owns the SGDC satellite, and signed an agreement in February to let Viasat use a large portion of the satellite's non-military capacity. [Metropoles]
Spain's Ministry of Defense approved the procurement of two new telecommunications satellites, Spainsat NG 1 and 2, as part of a 5-billion-euro investment in new technologies, including helicopters and a submarine program. Spain intends to buy the new satellites, which have an estimated budget of 800 million euros, by the end of the year. The new satellites will succeed Spainsat and Xtar-Eur, both of which launched more than 10 years ago. [Infoespacial]
Bank Rakyat Indonesia, a state-owned bank and the largest bank in Indonesia, has selected Hughes Network Systems' Jupiter System to provide services over BRIsat, its satellite covering Indonesia and Southeast Asia. Hughes' Jupiter ground infrastructure will provide Bank BRI with an "enterprise grade" wide-area network to connect tens of thousands of sites with 99.9 percent availability, according to Hughes. "Bank BRI is looking forward to working with Hughes to connect our Bank BRI sites and more than 50 million customers throughout Indonesia," said Meiditomo Sutyarjoko, head of Bank BRI's Satellite and Terrestrial Division. Bank BRI launched the SSL-built BRIsat in June 2016, becoming the first bank in the world to operates its own satellite. [SpaceTech Asia]
Russia is preparing to ramp up production of its Angara rocket. Dmitry Rogozin, new head of the Russian state space corporation Roscosmos, said that "serial production" of the rocket should begin by 2022 or 2023 at a factory in the city of Omsk. Rogozin said that he expected the Proton launch vehicle to end service by 2025, citing "restrictions" posed on the use of one of the toxic propellants used by that rocket. [TASS]
Inmarsat's next high-throughput satellite GX-5 will use ground infrastructure from iDirect to enable broadband services. IDirect will supply its Velocity platform, which includes a hub, operating software, a network management system and other equipment. Under construction by Thales Alenia Space, GX-5 is expected to launch next year and enter service in 2020. Inmarsat's terminals will enable switching between the four GX satellites already in orbit and the higher capacity GX-5 satellite. [iDirect]
A solid rocket motor that will be used on two next-generation European rockets passed a key test Monday. The P120C motor, the largest monolithic carbon-fiber solid rocket motor in the world, performed a 135-second static-fire test Monday in French Guiana, ESA and the companies involved said. The motor will be used in the first stage of the Vega C small launch vehicle and in strap-on boosters for the Ariane 6. Two more such tests are planned before the booster is qualified for flight. [SpaceNews]
Atlas Space Operations says it will provide telemetry, commanding and data support for BlackSky's upcoming constellation of remote sensing satellites. Atlas plans to use new ground stations in Guam and Japan to support the service. The first four of a planned 60 satellites are scheduled to launch next year. [GeekWire]
Maxar announced Monday it will acquire Canadian space technology company Neptec Design Group Ltd. for $32 million. Neptec makes sensors and electro-mechanical systems for various space applications, including the International Space Station and ESA's upcoming ExoMars rover. Maxar said it sees applications for Neptec's technology for its on-orbit servicing plans as well as NASA's proposed Lunar Orbital Platform-Gateway. Neptec will be folded into Maxar's Canadian-based MDA business. [SpaceNews]

Original 1964 Italian Two-Foglio Poster Folded Fine Plus Condition Art by Sandro Symeoni
Original Italian Two-Foglio (39x55) for the Sergio Leone western, A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS (1967) starring Clint Eastwood, Marianne Koch, and Gian Maria Volonte. Eastwood plays a wandering gunfighter who plays two rival families against each other in a town torn apart by greed, pride, and revenge. Leone had directed films before, but this film was his first foray into his own recognizable style and into a genre that he helped to revolutionize and with which he became forever synonymous. The film also marks the first brilliant score of Ennio Morricone. Unidis is the original Italian distributor and some of the posters have their logo. This poster, also to the very best of our knowledge original, does not. Why some posters have the UNIDIS logo and some do not is unclear. Nevertheless, this poster is generally accepted to be from the first release. Condition is fine plus. This poster is unbacked and would look wonderful if linen-backed. MovieArt Austin guaranteed this poster to be, to the best of our knowledge, a first Italian release poster for this very famous film. MovieArt Austin will sell NO reproductions.

Jake Domeier
Olivia Luplow , Publica Relations Manager
Similar to Thom Loos, Jake Domeier's introduction to Pay with Pesos is also one of chance. After crossing paths with Henry Lovejoy Vandenburg at a party, he was asked if he would be interested in joining the band, and, of course, his answer was yes. From the first moment that he became acquainted with the other members, Henry says that they all "bonded immediately."
Now, roughly a year later, Jake (a senior at West Catholic) has contributed to many crucial aspects of Pay with Pesos. According to Henry and the other members of the band, Jake's role is significant for "keeping time" for the band and the way that he and Thom "establish a groove to [their] music."
"Since we started playing with [Jake], our growth has been huge," his fellow bandmates said. "[He] offers [us] a place to rehearse, and [it's beneficial] to have him record different parts [too]. [Overall], he has really added a lot to this band."
Check out his Instagram here!
In terms of what Jake feels he wants to bring to the band, he looks to his inspiration in My Bloody Valentine and Pavement because of their "uniqueness" and states that, "that's what [he] strives to be through music." As far as his own personal history with music, and the drums specifically, it seems to stem from familial roots, and he states that his father is the one who inspired him to start and continue playing.
"I started playing [the drums] when I was five because my dad is a musician and taught me how to play," Jake said. "I still play them [now] because it puts me in a trance almost. It's [like I'm] literally being a part of everything in music, and I love that [feeling]."
When asked about the best part about being in Pay with Pesos, Jake's answer is not unlike that of his bandmates. Their connection and appreciation for each other all stem from one common feeling: family.
"[Being in Pay with Pesos] is like having four other brothers," Jake said. "I love them like family. [The process of] exchanging ideas is [another] best part. [In the future], I hope to be with these guys for as long as possible. [I want to] make new stuff every moment [that] we can."
