Forget What You Heard—Millennials Still Love TV
byAQ Content inCulture posted17 October, 2018
Millennials are killing everything we love, it seems. They are taking down industries ranging from the defenseless diamond industry to the ever-stable homeowning industry. It seems this generation is on a rampage to destroy every economic pillar they can set their hands on.
What's their next target? Cable television. Their weapon of choice? Cord-cutting.
Cord-cutting is the practice of replacing your cable bill with over-the-air services like Hulu or Netflix, and it is happening at an increasing rate. It's estimated that nearly 50 million people will have cut the cord from cable or satellite subscriptions by 2021. So many people have started dropping their cable subscriptions that a leading research firm had to revise its cord-cutter forecast up by 25 percent.
Yet, despite all of the doom and gloom, millennials still love TV. Many people think that millennials are not watching TV content anymore, but according to the VAB Report, millennials watch three times as much TV as previous generations. The same report revealed that nearly 86 percent of the 25-to-34 demographic still watches primetime live TV programming such as live sports or TV series.
Many cable companies are looking to lay the blame on millennials because they have become a trendy scapegoat for struggling industries. It is true that there has been a seismic shift in viewing habits across the United States, and that everything from the Oscars to the NFL are suffering from lower ratings. However, smartphones, streaming services like Netflix, and outdated viewer measurements are the primary reasons why TV is experiencing declining ratings.
Millennials grew up when online streaming became popular. They are the beneficiaries of the trend, rather than the cause of the trend itself.
What's Driving Millennials to Become Cord-Cutters?
From an economic perspective, cord-cutting makes a lot of sense. Why pay for cable packages chock full of TV channels you never watch when you could pay a fraction of your cable bill to access the same TV shows and networks à la carte instead? Wouldn't you want to save $85 per month by cutting the cord?
Millennials still want entertaining TV shows, but they don't want to pay an arm and a leg for it. This is a generation of convenience-seeking, screen-loving people. They value convenience over service, so they prefer to watch their shows on mobile and streaming devices.
Most millennials prefer watching online because it gives them the flexibility to control their time and not be beholden to a TV schedule. Nearly 55 percent of millennials' TV viewing time is watching content after it has aired. They want to watch TV but on their own time.
TV networks have taken notice and started offering mobile applications that provide their TV series on-demand. Networks like CBS and CW are actively embracing the cord-cutting exodus by offering their TV content online for free or through subscription services like CBS All-Access.
Unfortunately, most other network apps still require a cable subscription, but some networks like FX offer a $5.99 subscription, similar to Hulu and Netflix. There are even entire services that offer TV subscriptions à la carte, such as Sling TV, which offers a $25 a month package.
There are so many TV streaming options out there that soon, much of what we watch will be à la carte. Millennials grew up in a time of economic downturn, so finding efficient and economic ways to watch their favorite TV shows comes naturally. In fact, 47 percent of millennials and Gen Z do not even watch traditional cable TV anymore.
Conversely, millennials actually prefer TV viewing almost six times more than digital media. The advent of new technologies like 5G may bring about the death of cable TV, but TV content will still be as popular as ever.
Millennials Still Love TV, and They Talk About It Constantly
About 89 percent of millennials enjoy TV more than they enjoy streaming on other internet-connected devices, but most viewing is on-demand. Recent lower ratings for marquee TV events fuels the perception that millennials are tuning out, but social engagement surrounding events (such as the Oscars) is at an all-time high.
Engagement statistics are key to understanding millennials' love affair with TV content. Entire ecosystems of blogs, social media posts, reviews, and recaps have evolved online alongside TV series. Social media is a huge part of what drives this relationship.
Forty-five percent of millennials say they share, post, and tweet about their favorite TV series. Twenty-seven percent of YouTube's top 50 videos are devoted to TV content. This ecosystem acts as a positive feedback loop where engagement online drives the viewership for new episodes.
Many in the media industry refer to this as a "360-degree relationship" that cements the emotional bond between viewer and TV content. Previous generations would simply watch the show when it aired and wait until next week for the next episode to air. Now you can go online and find an almost unlimited amount of content surrounding your favorite shows, not to mention the ability to rewatch previous episodes on-demand.
Millennials also love specific networks more than others. HGTV is a prime example: Millennials adore HGTV because of its manufactured drama and the ability to "window shop" for homes they might be able to purchase in the future. Shows like House Hunters have sprouted entire meme cultures around the comedic disparity between homebuyers' jobs and their unrealistic budgets.
How Emotions Can Affect Brands' TV Ad Effectiveness
Millennials are far more emotionally attached to their TV content than previous generations. That's good news for brands.
Emotion drives everything in advertising. An emotional reaction to the content surrounding an ad can influence the reaction to the ad itself. Consider that 40 percent of millennials have visited destinations they saw on TV, and 43 percent have gone to restaurants and purchased products shown on their TV according to the VAB Report.
TV provides real-time, shared emotional experiences that doesn't exist on other platforms. There is something about being obligated to watch a show at a certain time that carries a connective allure—one that flourishes in the social media age. Some bars even hold "viewing parties" for shows like Game of Thrones, where the primary draw is watching the show with other patrons at the time the show airs.
The important takeaway is that millennials gravitate towards engaging and emotional content—that is, content that strikes them emotionally. Over 85 percent of consumer purchases are driven by emotional attachment, and someone who is attached is three times more likely to engage with the brand.
When 84 percent of all millennials don't trust brand advertising as far as they can throw it, you may be wondering how you can be authentic enough to reach this fickle generation. Authenticity in advertising remains the best way to reach millennials. The key is to sell the experience or emotion first, then brand second.

Hamilton: Knicks Are Now Officially All Lin
February 11, 2012 by Moke Hamilton
NEW YORK – Back in 2008, while many of his classmates were lining up internships at investment banks, researching graduate schools, or worrying about successfully fulfilling Harvard's renowned Moral Reasoning course requirement, Jeremy Lin was preparing to make NBA history.
On weekdays during the spring semester of his junior year, Lin recalls his early morning workouts with then assistant coach Kenny Blakeney.
At 7 am, while most of his classmates were rolling over in bed, Lin had already had a light breakfast and was getting some shots up in the gym.
As a fellow Ivy league graduate, I can attest: Time was probably short; classes were, no doubt, tough. Even still, Lin hustled his way into the Ivy League record books, hustled his way to a 3.1 overall GPA, and on Friday night, hustled his way into becoming a lot more than just another beneficiary of the "New York City hype machine."
And for good measure, after he led the New York Knicks to a 92-85 win over Kobe Bryant's Los Angeles Lakers, Lin assured the press that he was in the midst of hustling his way off of his brother Josh's Lower East Side couch.
Behind his monster effort—38 points and 7 assists—the Knicks beat Bryant and his Lakers in Madison Square Garden for the first time since 2005. The Knicks bested the Lakers in MSG back in 2008, but Kobe missed the game due to a suspension.
On Friday night, before the game, you could feel the energy in the building. In MSG's North Press Box, there was standing room only. Yes, the Lakers usually make for the busiest night of the year for the Knicks public relations staff. But this night—they told me—was crazy. Even by Lakers standards.
Before Friday night, it would have been fair to say that Lin's emergence has been overplayed by New Yorkers and underplayed by the national media.
But now, after beating an aging but respectable Lakers club, everyone should be a little more convinced: Jeremy Lin is the real deal.
From the beginning of the game, he controlled the tempo. He orchestrated the offense. He used picks, read the defense, and for the most part made solid decisions. He sliced and diced the Lakers on the perimeter, beat guys off the dribble, and went around and under both Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol. He even hit a pair of threes.
I was in Madison Square Garden back on March 30, 2011. That night, Carmelo Anthony torched the Nets for 39 points in a 120-116 victory. I was there on January 27, 2011 when Amar'e Stoudemire and Danilo Gallinari led the Knicks to their first victory over LeBron's Heat, 93-88. Hell, on February 2, 2009, I was sitting on the floor the night Kobe set the MSG scoring record with 61 points.
Though all three of those games had their moments, none of them were remotely close to the environment that Lin created in MSG on Friday.
It was true Linsanity.
On the biggest night of his young career, Lin had a sold-out MSG on its feet. Roaring, stomping, and flailing, in unison.
Watching this game on this night was like watching 38:34 worth of Larry Johnson four-point plays. That such a performance came against a Lakers team that commands respect around the league, and in front of a national TV audience, should provide Lin with some sustainable legitimacy.
Just don't make the mistake of thinking he cares. "I'm not really too worried right now about proving anything to anybody," he said after the game.
And when asked about what he himself has established thus far, Lin deflected the question and made it about the team. "The only thing we established tonight is getting four [wins] in a row… And we're gonna try to go for five tomorrow… I just think as a team we're growing and we're trying to build on this momentum."
There might be an "I" in "Lin," but you couldn't tell.
That's the most encouraging thing about Jeremy Lin. He's a team player. He goes out of his way to credit his teammates, coaches, and mentors. He went out of his way to talk up Jared Jeffries ("the ultimate glue guy"), Coach D'Antoni ("an absolute offensive genius"), and Landry Fields.
I couldn't help but to nod emphatically in agreement when Coach D'Antoni told the press, after the game, that he was shocked to learn that Lin took 23 shots and scored 38 points. "It all came in the flow of the offense. I couldn't tell," said the coach. And it's 100 percent true.
Lin is the real deal. He's confident, yet humble. He plays conservatively, but doesn't shy away from contact. He's fast, but he doesn't rush. On Friday night, he showed that to Madison Square Garden. He showed Kobe—who one night earlier claimed to not know anything about Lin or "what he's done"—and he showed two countries—America and China.
Neither Coach D'Antoni nor Tyson Chandler could remember a situation in which someone buried at the end of a bench came in and made such an immediate and improbable impact on their team.
Lin, in his own words, noted that he is used to being "the 15th guy."
That's just as over as Kobe's win streak at Madison Square Garden.
That's over… Just like Jeremy Lin's lack of respect should be.
Sure, Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire will both return within the next week. Obviously, things are going to change.
But for those that are not "All Lin" on Jeremy, take note:
He is the first player in the NBA, since 1991, to record at least 20 points and seven assists in his first three starts.
Even better, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, since the ABA-NBA merger in 1976, the 89 points he scored in his first three career starts is the most points scored by any player in their first three career starts.
Before Tuesday, Lin didn't have a guaranteed contract for the rest of the 2011-12 NBA Season.
Today? He holds a record over some of the game's most prolific scorers. That list includes Michael Jordan, Dominique Wilkins, Lebron James, and yes, Kobe Bryant.
What makes his story more amazing is the fact that the Knicks were somewhat interested in adding Kenyon Martin. Obviously, he had other plans. But if he decided that he wanted to play in New York City, Jeremy Lin and his non-guaranteed contract may have very well been sacrificed to make room for him.
If that happened, Lin told members of the press that he would have probably gone overseas to continue his playing career.
Instead, this week, Knicks fans are worried about whether or not the team will be able to afford to re-sign Lin once he becomes a free agent on July 1, 2012.
Last week, in this space, I wrote that the Knicks may have dodged a bullet when Martin decided to take his talents to Los Angeles. Had he decided on New York, Linsanity may not have ever been born.
Because it has, Mike Bibby is far more likely to be waived to make room for J.R. Smith—that is, if J.R. decides he wants to play in Gotham.
But that's neither here nor there.
At this point, Lin should be taken seriously. He has the skill set and the tools that the Knicks desperately lacked at the point guard position. He makes good decisions with the ball, he can break down defenses and get into the paint, and he can finish at the rim.
It's a bit premature to anoint him as a future Hall of Famer, much less a season savior. But he is certainly a knight in shining armor. For Knicks fans and Coach D'Antoni.
Lin isn't the shooter Steve Nash is, and he's certainly not the passer that Ricky Rubio is.
But what he is, is a hard worker.
What he is, is a great rags to riches story.
What he is, is a smart and capable leader on the floor, beloved by his fans and his teammates.
What he has done is electrify Madison Square Garden and seemingly changed the culture of the entire building. For 12 years, Knicks fans paid to watch opposing players waltz into the garden and light them up.
Now, with a young point guard that can play the way Coach D'Antoni wants, the Knicks may have finally found the straw to stir their drink.
Once you fully appreciate how close all of this was to actually never happening. It'll make you appreciate it all the more. And if you were in the building on Friday night, saw what I saw, and felt what I felt… you'd be a believer, as well.
Overnight, Jeremy Lin has gone from being the subject of New York cooler talk to a national story—in both the United States and China.
It's nothing short of amazing.
Indeed, Madison Square Garden is alive again. With a seemingly capable point guard to feed Stat-e-Melo, orchestrate the offense, and make wise decisions, things are looking up for the Knicks.
For the team, and for D'Antoni especially, good fortune abounds.
After falling to 8-15, lady luck eventually came around. And not a moment too soon.

There is something not that right here in your writing:
" …..he showed two countries—America and China. "
It should be " …America and Taiwan. ", not China.
Are you kidding? There's nothing wrong with the author's line. Taiwan is not a country. Never has been. His parents are from Zhejiang which is close to where Yao Ming is from.
I know you are from China, that makes you say that.
The truth is, Lin was born in America. His parents, Gie-Ming and Shirley, emigrated from Taiwan to the United States in the mid-1970s. His paternal family comes from Beidou, Changhua in Taiwan, and most of his relatives still live there.
Yuan says
his parents specifically noted that their family is from Taiwan. Although it's true that the Chinese are very interested in him.
Sunny Kim says
MH, Job well done on this JL profile. Loved that you provided background info and the stats research to put the past few games' performance in context. Keep up the great work!
Harlems Own says
Good article. All of the doubters of J-Lin are now officially on the bandwagon. There's no way u can not appreciate what this kid is doing for the league and himself. Its an amazing story. Good for the kid because it seems as if nobody works harder than him.

Q: How to deploy php application to a live web server using ant and git I need a solution that I can deploy php application to a webserver using ant and git. I need to copy the files to the webserver and run a php script which setup the database.
I was thinking about using sshexec to run commands which will update the files and run the php script
<target name="deploy">
    <sshexec host="host"
         port="22"
         username="user"
         password="****"
         trust="true"
         command="..."/>
</target>

Does anyone has the complete solution? or even a better solution?

A: If you need to periodically copy a changing set of files to the server and to execute a known script after each update, you could use git push for copying and a post-receive git hook (http://book.git-scm.com/5_git_hooks.html) to invoke the script.

'THE BEST HEAVYWEIGHT'
Tyson Fury's brother Tommy reveals how much of an inspiration heavyweight boxer has been in and out of the ring
Tommy Fury, 19, makes his light-heavyweight bow against Latvian Jevgenijs Andrejevs on December 22
By Sean Gallagher
6th December 2018, 1:51 pm
Tommy Fury believes that brother Tyson "is the best heavyweight there has ever been" as he looks to follow in his footsteps when he makes his professional debut later this month.
Light-heavyweight contender Fury is due to face Latvian Jevgenijs Andrejevs (10-102-3) on December 22 at the Manchester Arena.

Tommy Fury is gearing up for his professional debut later this month
Tommy, who is trained by boxing legend Ricky Hatton, says his brother Tyson has been an inspiration to him
Tyson was denied one of the greatest comebacks in sporting history after his WBC world heavyweight title bout with Deontay Wilder was controversially ruled a draw – and although he was knocked down to the canvas twice he dominated the vast majority of the fight.
Tommy was unable to make the trip to Los Angeles in the build-up to his light-heavyweight debut, but said he "couldn't be any prouder of his brother" who continues to be a massive "motivation" to him.
He told BBC Sport: "If he can conquer all what he has done, then I can conquer anything and it's the same to everybody out there – whatever you want to achieve in life you can achieve it.
"He's my favourite fighter and in my opinion the best heavyweight there has ever been.
Fury Jr has already proved to be a success at amateur level
"He's my brother, so much of my motivation comes from him.
"Just watching him throughout the whole build-up, all his training, words can't describe how much of a motivation he is to me."
Tyson's battles with mental health problems have been well documented, with the 30-year-old battling with depression, drug and alcohol related problems over the last few years.

Speaking after his epic fight, the 30-year-old said: "I fought back from thinking about suicide, mental health, depression, anxiety. I wanted more than anything to show the world it can be done."
Tommy is trained by former two-weight world champion Ricky Hatton – a close ally of Tyson- and is also the cousin of British heavyweight champion Hughie Fury, who also turned professional as a teenager.

Пушка — еженедельная иллюстрированная газета, юмористическое приложение к изданию «Бегемот». С № 33 преобразована в еженедельный сатирический журнал. Выходила в Ленинграде в 1926—1929 годах.

История
Издание тесно связано с журналом «Бегемот»: выпускаться стало в апреле 1926 года с подзаголовком «Еженедельная юмористическая газета "Бегемота"» на четырёх полосах с одноцветными иллюстрациями, тиражом 115.000 экз. Затем, в конце того же года, с № 33 газету реорганизовали в журнал, который стал печататься на восьми страницах с одноцветными иллюстрациями тиражом от 75 до 100 тыс. экз. В августе 1928 редакция «Красной газеты» приняла решение объединить «Бегемот» с его приложением — юмористической газетой; при этом данное издание выходило до марта 1929 года.

Газета, и впоследствии журнал, выпускались сотрудниками «Бегемота» в той же манере и с аналогичными художественными приёмами, но имея собственную пародийную специфику. Содержание газеты составляли следующие рубрики, шапки и отделы:
 «Наши достижения»,
 «Телеграммы»,
 «Маленький фельетон»,
 «Наши встречи»,
 «О чем говорят на улице», «Хроника», «Смесь»,
 «Из Москвы», «По Союзу», «За рубежом»,
 «Кино», «Театр», «Спорт»,
 и другие.

Авторы писали юмористические и сатирические произведения «на злобу дня», художники публиковали карикатуры.

Среди авторов литературного отдела были М. Андреев, революционер, дипломат и писатель А. Аросев (псевдоним П. Кочевой), В. Воинов, Р. Волженин (наст. фам. В. Некрасов), известные ещё с дореволюционных времён поэт и переводчик Я. Годин (псевдоним «Дядя Яша») и поэт, прозаик, переводчик и драматург В. Мазуркевич, поэт-сатирик В. Князев, М. Коварский, И. Ломакин, поэт «Серебряного века» Д. Цензор, К. Шелонский и другие. Иллюстрации (карикатуры и рисунки) выполняли художники из «Бегемота» А. Радаков, Н. Радлов, А. Успенский, А. Юнгер и др.

Став журналом, издание поменяло свой формат: как содержание, так и внешний облик. Были придуманы новые сатирические рубрики и отделы:
 «Из пушки по воробьям»,
 «Уголок Дяди Яши (раёк)»,
 «Что стряслось за день», «За день и за ночь», «Опилки»,
 «Театр и искусство»,
 «Международные песенки», «В западных странах»,
 и др.

На страницах журнала появился и персонаж художника Бориса Антоновского Евлампий Надькин, уже знакомый читателям по другим изданиям. Отчёты о его приключениях публиковались практически в каждом номере. Довольно долгое время как тексты, так и иллюстрации помещались без подписей.

К сотрудничеству привлекались рабочие корреспонденты — рабкоры, поскольку редакция хотела сделать издание массовым рабочим журналом юмора и сатиры. Материалы рабкоров — письма и заметки — размещали в отделах «Страничка читательской самодеятельности», «Мультипликатор "Пушки"» и некоторых других. Постепенно уровень сатиры снижался, когда редакция от рабкоровских заметок и фельетонов, основанных на злободневных фактах, перешла к юмористическим стихам, рассказам и анекдотам. Тематика сатиры мельчала, выбирая объектом насмешек плохого управдома, машинисток и подобных «персонажей», уступая место конкретности и злободневности. Редакция ориентировалась на мещанские слои населения и отсталых рабочих, стремясь приспособиться к их запросам и интересам. В 1927 году последовала суровая критика ряда сатирических журналов, что заставило редакцию расширить связь с рабочими и рабкорами, открыть старые и новые отделы, специальные тематические странички, имеющих своего адресата — «курортника», «дачника», «купальщика», «радиолюбителя», «охотника», «домохозяйку» и т. п.

В журнале, помимо уже указанных сотрудников, принимали участие литераторы М. Бабицкий, Н. Богданов (Н. Кимай), М. Гейзель, М. Зощенко, Л. Меньшиков, В. Моголь, А. Нератов, И. Прутков (Б. Жиркович), М. Тименс, С. Тимошенко, В. Тоболяков, С. Уманский, А. Флит, В. Черний (Н. Бренев) и др. и художники Б. Антоновский, Л. Бродаты, В. Краев, А. Любимов, Б. Малаховский, К. Рудаков, Б. Шемиот и др.

Издание перестало выходить и закрылось на номере 7 в феврале 1929 года, и вместо него стали выпускать журнал «Ревизор».

40 years of GSQ!
GSQ Blog Posted on February 19, 2018 by guestblogger February 27, 2018
From the GSQ Archives
2018 marks the 40th anniversary of the formation of the Genealogical Society of Queensland. During the course of this year, items about its formation will be published on the blog, highlighting key milestones over the last 40 years. The first edition of the journal, Generation, was published in March 1979 as Volume 1, No 1. There were six Chapters at this time – Ipswich, Brisbane, Toowoomba, Sunshine Coast, Bundaberg and Rockhampton.
Most of the Chapters submitted a report for inclusion in the very first edition of Generation and an edited version follows. [Note: Each of the Chapters are now family history societies in their own right.]
CHAPTER REPORTS
IPSWICH CHAPTER
On the 8th September 1977, the inaugural meeting of the Ipswich Genealogical Society was held in the recreation hall, of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Officers elected at that meeting were – President, Mr. Warren Stone, Vice President, Mr. I.C. Waters, Mr. R. Van Egdom Secretary/Treasurer and Committee Members were Mr. G. Cook, Mr. N. Mann, Mrs. D. Marles and Mrs. C. Verrall. Never did the original members dream that the Society would expand so quickly, with 40 members being on the books in a short time. In October Mr. Van Egdom resigned owing to pressure of work, and Mrs. C. Verrall took over as Secretary, with Mr. R. Biddle filling the vacancy on the Committee.
During the year, guest speakers were Mr. R. Rea, Mr. T. Buckle, Mr. Don Green, Mr. B. Page, Mr. Lynn Aberdeen and Mrs. Lyn Waldron. These speakers did much to help with research and advice for those who have no experience in genealogy. Workshop nights were also held, to enable members to compare notes, and help each other with the best way to obtain information. In May 1978, a chapter of the Genealogical Society was formed in Brisbane, and it was decided to change the name to the Genealogical Society of Queensland, Ipswich Chapter. At the first Annual General Meeting in June 1978, Mr. W. Stone stepped down from the Presidency and Mr. I. Waters was elected President with Mr. N. Stone as Vice President, Mrs. C. Verrall as Secretary, and Committee members Mr.G. Cook, Mr.R. Biddle, Mrs. D. Marles and Mrs. J. Louden.
In October, Mr. I. Waters reluctantly advised that with the pressure of work he had from his Church calling, combined with work as State President, he would have to step down from the Presidency of the Ipswich Chapter. Mr. R. Rea was elected as the new President.
The Ipswich Chapter is certainly proud to be the parent chapter, and to see the enormous growth of the Society in all parts of Queensland in little over twelve months, and wishes all members happy researching.
BRISBANE CHAPTER
The Brisbane Chapter of the Genealogical Society of Queensland was formed at a public meeting held at the Education Centre Building, Brisbane in May 1978. At the initial public meeting 24 people attended and the number of financial members is now over 40, with a good number of visitors attending each meeting. Meetings are held on a regular basis and the format has been to commence with an informal meeting, followed by a guest speaker. The guest speakers have been arranged by one of the Committee members and have all been of great interest to the members and visitors. In order to make people aware of the Society advertisements were placed with newspapers and radio stations, informing the public of our meetings etc. The Chapter has now commenced its reference library. Meetings are held on the third Wednesday evening of each month at 7.30p.m. at the Education Centre Building, South Brisbane.
NAMBOUR CHAPTER (SUNSHINE COAST)
The Nambour Chapter of the Genealogical Society of Queensland was formed at a meeting held in June 1978. Members attending were mostly students of a weekend Adult Education Course, who felt the need for a regular contact with persons interested in, and knowledgeable about, genealogical study. After only five meetings our members have swelled to 30. As we are all at various stages of experience in our knowledge of Genealogy we have benefited greatly from regular visits from our Queensland Secretary and teacher, Mrs. Lyn Waldron. Our attendance at the Queensland Convention held in Brisbane on 28th October 1978 further heightened our knowledge of research, and inspired us greatly. Field days are to be held regularly beginning with a visit to our local cemetery where we will tabulate as much information as possible as many of the headstones are in a sad state of disrepair. Office Bearers elected at our Inaugural Meeting are as follows: President – Mr. John McGrath. Vice-President. – Mr. Ron Ritchie. Secretary – Mrs. Joan Thomas Treasurer – Mrs. Betty Watson. Librarian. – Mrs. Pat Batson.
BUNDABERG CHAPTER
The Bundaberg Chapter was formed at a public meeting which was held at the Bundaberg College of T.A.F.E. on the 25th November, 1978. The Chapter received affiliation with the College of T.A.F.E. on the 24th January 1979. Affiliation with the College has secured a regular meeting venue as well as the use of college printing and photographic equipment. The Chapter hopes to participate in the College's "Activate" Television programme which is broadcast in the Wide Bay area.
The meetings in December and January were workshops at which new members tackled the first steps of tracing their ancestry. The Chapter has three experienced genealogists who led the first workshops. The Chapter meets at 7.30p.m. on the second Wednesday of each month, at the Bundaberg College of T.A.F.E., Walker Street, Bundaberg.
INALA CHAPTER
The Inala Chapter was formed on Tuesday 5th December, 1978 at the Family Education Centre, Kittyhawk Street, Inala. Guest speaker Mr. Laurie Jones was introduced by Mr. John Tucker. Mrs. Lyn Waldron, Secretary of the State Executive, addressed the meeting. Mr. Jones outlined the aims and future plans for the Society and how it has grown since the first Chapter was formed on May 17th, 1978. The Inala meetings will be held first Wednesday of each month at the Family Education Centre at 7.15p.m.
There is no report from Rockhampton Chapter this Journal, or from Toowoomba.

The essence of writing history lies in selecting those apparently minor details that should be omitted lest they interfere with the dominant narrative. While it is certainly true that the Brisbane Chapter of the GSQ referenced in that very first Generation is "now [a] family history societ[y] in [its] own right", that particular road leads not to Stackpole Street (as current members might infer) but rather to Bellevue Avenue at Gaythorne. But what would any decent family history be without a half-remembered tale of an acrimonious split and an enduring feud? Hush. Not in front of the children.


I never wear flats, but I went with it for the Coyotes duel against the Canadiens. I'm extremely glad I did, too!
Comfy pants that still look professional are one of my favorite things to invest in. As per usual, I had a very small amount of time to get ready before the game, so when I came across these black crepe beauties, it was a no-brainer.
A good popover is a staple in my wardrobe, and so the second I picked out my pants, I knew what shirt I was wearing with them. I love the light purple because it's so pretty, yet gets me away from my normal black on black (and I don't feel uncomfortable like I normally do when wearing color).
A leather jacket was an obvious choice of outerwear, because making things just a little more "edgy" is how I like to do it.

October 22, 2017 EarthaLearn Affiliate MarketingLeave a Comment on What Do You Need to Start Affiliate Marketing?
Becoming an affiliate marketer is as simple as joining an affiliate program.
However, in order to make a consistent income online, there are several things you'll want to do.
Making money online requires marketing. One of the fastest and easiest ways to start promoting affiliate products is by having a website of your own.
I'll explain the four things you need to start affiliate marketing.
For those that may not know, affiliate marketing is the promotion of another company's products or services in exchange for a commission when a sale is made.
Affiliate programs are free to join and some pay up to 80% commission when a sale is made. When you have your own website, you can place your affiliate links (provided by your affiliate program) within your copy.
As visitors click on your affiliate links, it sets a cookie in their browser for tracking purposes.
Some affiliate programs set their cookies anywhere from 30 to 90 days. Meaning that if a visitor makes a purchase anytime within the cookie length, you'll still get the credit.
There are some affiliate programs with much shorter cookies. For example, Amazon.com's affiliate program has a 24-hour cookie length.
If you want to get an idea of what an affiliate website looks like, check out these three examples of affiliate marketing websites.
A niche is a group of people who are interested in the same thing. There are TONS of niches to choose from.
Think of some of your hobbies or interests. Like the photo above, I also have an interest in playing the ukulele.
If I wanted to, I could choose that as my niche. I could create my niche website around everything related to playing the ukulele.
Keyword research performed using the Jaaxy keyword tool. Get 30 free searches by clicking here.
All of the keyword phrases above are very low competition and have a decent monthly search. As I create content around these topics, I can monetize my website using affiliate links.
For example, if I were to sign up with the Amazon Associates affiliate program, I could post images of specific ukuleles with my affiliate links.
When visitors land on my website and click any of my affiliate links pertaining to the ukulele, I will get a percentage of the sale when they make a purchase.
Long gone are the days of needing to hire a web developer to get your website up and running. There are a lot more options for getting a website up in which you can do yourself.
No technical skill is required. I build my niche websites using a free niche site building software called, SiteRubix.
It is the website platform inside of Wealthy Affiliate. It uses WordPress to create your website.
The best part is that when you create your niche website using SiteRubix, you also become a free starter member of Wealthy Affiliate.
Wealthy Affiliate is an online business training course/community. I owe my current success to what I've learned and continue to learn there.
Creating useful content is what will attract targeted visitors to your website. Over time, your articles will rank highly in the search engines.
Essentially is SEO (search engine optimization). Content creation involves doing longtail keyword research.
Before I write any article, I do keyword research using the Jaaxy keyword tool.
By doing longtail keyword research, I can find low competition keywords that still have high monthly searches.
This gives me a much higher chances of my articles ranking well in the search engine result pages. I wrote a post about how long articles should be on your website.
I try to shoot for over 1,000 words. If I don't surpass that, it's not a big deal either. For me, what's more important is that I write a helpful post.
This what every affiliate marketer enjoys most. Monetizing your website is important if you want to make any money.
There are other ways to monetize your website besides using affiliate marketing. However, affiliate marketing remains one of my favorite monetization methods.
There is more to monetization than simply posting affiliate links. Writing helpful content helps to attract targeted visitors.
However, if you do not know how to convert your visitors, it will be difficult to make any money online.
I learned how to write for conversions from the training I followed in Wealthy Affiliate. In fact, I owe all of my progress to the training, tools, and support I have there.
When you are serious about learning your business, you have to invest in your education.
You already have everything you need to start affiliate marketing today. You have the interest and desire. Now you need the tools and training.
Become a free starter member at Wealthy Affiliate and take your first 10 lessons. It is how I got started and now I make a consistent online income.

11. The bullet as claimed in claim 4, wherein the narrowing is situated at the base of the conical or cylindro-conical internal cavity formed in front of the internal shaft or slightly in front of this base.
12. The bullet as claimed in claim 4, wherein the internal cavity is cylindro-conical in shape and the narrowing is situated at the line where the conical and cylindrical surfaces meet.
13. The bullet as claimed in claim 4, wherein the narrowing made in the wall of the ogive forms a crank between the large base of the ogival nose and the front end of the rear portion of the ogive, the height of this crank lying between 0.05 and 1 mm.
16. The bullet as claimed in claim 2, wherein the nose of the ogive comprises a flat whose external diameter d2 is such that the ratio d2/d lies between 0.3:1 and 1.5:1.
The present invention relates to ammunition for small, medium and large caliber guns, and more particularly to a new bullet, notably for hunting guns, having a reduced aerodynamic drag and providing an improved terminal efficiency, in particular in a soft target.
Ammunition for the most traditional hunting guns are usually sleeved bullets with a lead alloy core, whose front portion comprises an ogive with a flattened or rounded head. According to a variant, certain bullets have a central channel in the ogive. Thus, U.S. Pat. No. 3,881,421 describes a bullet whose head is hollowed out to cause it to flatten on impact with the target. This ammunition usually has the disadvantage of a high velocity loss on the trajectory and a major loss of mass on impact with the target due to a break-up of the bullet.
Also known are bullets of the same type comprising, on the front end of the ogive, a part made of plastic or other materials intended to improve the aerodynamics of the bullet and the accuracy of the shot, as in patent CH 625043. However, these bullets fragment and expand poorly on impact with the target, which impairs their terminal efficiency.
Application WO 0045120 describes a bullet comprising a broadened base metal core, supporting an envelope with an open ogival head protruding from the central core. U.S. Pat. No. 5,259,320 shows an example of a monometallic lead-free bullet, comprising a central channel situated in the ogive, which has fracture notches intended to control the expansion of the head of the cone and its rolling up in petals, on impact with the target. This technique has the disadvantage of a random expansion, and a risk of fragmentation of the petals formed. In addition, the method of manufacture of this type of bullet by cold stamping causes dynamic imbalances which have the effect of a dispersion of the shots.
The technique of shafted bullet ammunition is today well known. This ammunition comprises a sub-projectile (shaft) stabilized by fins, associated with a sabot (or launcher) having the caliber of the gun, and is described for example in patent FR-A-2.555.728. An enhancement made to this technique is described in patent FR-A-2.795.170 relating to a monometallic bullet with the caliber of the gun or undersize, comprising an internal shaft with a rigidity greater than that of the body of the bullet, disposed along its axis. Bullets of this type are extremely accurate and make it possible to regulate the expansion and retain the mass of the bullet on impact with the target. According to this technique, the diameter of the nose of the ogive represents approximately between 40 and 50% of the maximum diameter of the bullet, which provides it with considerable aerodynamic drag. These bullets are therefore mainly intended for "bush-beating"0 shooting, over short and medium distances, less than 150 m for rifles and of the order of 50 to 60 m for shotguns. Beyond these distances, and mainly with low initial velocity bullets, the velocity on impact with the target is too low to cause a radial expansion of the body of the bullet that is necessary for satisfactory efficiency.
For "close range" or "stalking" shooting, it is essential to reduce the aerodynamic drag of the bullet on its trajectory, without, for all that, reducing its terminal efficiency.
The precise object of the present invention is to optimize the ballistics of a metal lead-free bullet of the above type to obtain the lowest possible aerodynamic drag on the trajectory while retaining an excellent terminal efficiency on the target while preventing losses of mass of the metal body of the bullet at great distances which may be of the order of 300 m.
The subject of the present invention is therefore a bullet for a small, medium or large caliber gun, with the caliber of the gun or undersize, of the type comprising an internal shaft with a rigidity equal to or greater than that of the body of the bullet, disposed in a hole drilled in the body of the bullet along its axis, wherein the internal shaft is set back from the orifice of the hole, the latter, situated on the axis, has a smaller diameter than that of the internal shaft, and the wall of the ogival head of the bullet body comprises one or more deformation notches close to the orifice of the hole.
According to a preferred embodiment, the deformation notches of the ogival head are made by a narrowing of the ogival head, separating the ogival nose from the rear portion of the ogive.
Thus, the bullet of the invention has, in its front portion, a conical or cylindro-conical shaped cavity, delimited on its large base by the front face of the internal shaft, and opening onto the ogival nose of the bullet via a small orifice, preferably circular, situated in the axis.
The ogive forming the head of the bullet is very streamlined, so as to procure as little as possible aerodynamic drag, and for this purpose, the orifice of the hole enclosing the internal shaft has a smaller diameter than that of the internal shaft, the ratio d1/d of the diameter d1 of the orifice to the diameter d of the internal shaft lying between 0.1:1 and 0.9:1.
According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the nose of the ogive comprises a flat whose external diameter d2 is such that the ratio d2/d lies between 0.3:1 and 1.5:1. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the ratio d2/d lies between 0.6:1 and 1:1, while the diameter d1 of the orifice is such that the ratio d1/d lies between approximately 0.3:1 and 0.6:1.
The deformation notches made in the wall of the ogival head are intended to make it easier for the nose of the ogive to deform and open on impact with the target, in order to cause a deformation by "mushrooming".
These deformation notches contribute to the stepped ogival shape of the front portion of the bullet. This ogival shape comprises an ogival nose surrounding the orifice communicating with the conical or cylindro-conical cavity, and a rear portion, which interact to minimize and reduce as much as possible any discontinuity of air flow in flight which could cause Mach wave detachments impairing the aerodynamic drag.
As indicated above, these deformation notches may preferably be made in the shape of a narrowing in the external wall of the ogive, separating the ogival nose, open to the front, from the rear portion of the ogive, so that the cross section of the base of the ogival nose is slightly greater than that of the front of the rear portion of the ogive. This narrowing is preferably situated at the base of the internal conical or cylindro-conical cavity formed in front of the internal shaft, or slightly ahead of this base, and more preferably at the line where the conical and cylindrical surfaces meet when the internal cavity is of the cylindro-conical shape.
The narrowing made in the wall of the ogive to form the deformation notch is materialized by a crank between the base of the ogival nose and the front end of the rear portion of the ogive, and the radial height of this crank, for medium caliber bullets, usually lies between 0.05 and 1 mm, and preferably between 0.1 and 0.5 mm.
The theoretical profile of the ogival nose and of the rear portion of the ogive meet along a tangential line situated at a distance of between ⅕ and ⅘ approximately, preferably between ⅓ and ⅔ approximately, of the height of the rear portion of the ogive. Preferably, the rear portion of the ogive has a convex profile.
According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the internal cavity has a cylindro-conical shape, where the cylinder and the cone are coaxial, joining via the large base of the cone, the latter being placed in front of the cylinder. According to a variant, the internal cavity has a dual truncated cone shape, the two cones being joined at their large base, the small base of the rear truncated cone being closed by the internal shaft.
According to another advantageous embodiment, the front of the internal shaft protrudes slightly into the internal cavity formed in the ogival nose, that is to say that the truncated cone-shaped or cylindrical wall of the base of the internal cavity comes into contact with the external surface of the shaft slightly behind the front end of the latter. This has the effect of forming an annular volume that may serve as an expansion notch of the bullet head on impact with the target.
The internal shaft inserted into the body of the metal bullet may be made of one or more elements. When it consists of a single cylindrical element, the latter preferably supports several longitudinal or transverse ribs that improve the connection with the bullet body. The hole drilled in the bullet body, into which the internal shaft is inserted, may be a through or blind hole, and preferably blind.
The bullet according to the present invention has the advantage of substantially reducing the aerodynamic drag on the trajectory, while ensuring control of the deformation of the body of the bullet on impact with the target, even at great distance. Thus, by comparison with a bullet according to patent FR-A-2.795.170 having the same mass and the same dimensions, the coefficient of aerodynamic drag is reduced by approximately half for projectile velocities of the order of Mach 2.
More particularly, the low aerodynamic drag on the trajectory allows the bullet of the invention to retain a high velocity until impact with a target more than 300 m away. Thus, the bullet then deforms in a controlled manner by rolling up about its axis, on impact with the soft portions of the target, and ensures the effective destruction of the hard portions of said target, even at great distances, which may be greater than 300 m in the case of bullets of the caliber.
This result may be obtained, according to the invention, with a metal lead-free bullet, although the volumic mass of the materials usually used as lead substitutes is approximately 20% less than the latter, and the volume of the bullet is substantially identical because of the standards imposed in this technical field. It is known that the highest possible bullet mass is necessary, for a given caliber and a determined aerodynamic drag coefficient, to obtain sufficient energy on impact. The invention therefore makes it possible to offset the consequences of the reduction in the volumic mass of lead-free bullets, and to improve the terminal efficiency of the bullet.
As indicated above, the bullet of the invention is preferably a metal lead-free bullet. The body of the bullet may be made of metal or metal alloy chosen from copper and the copper alloys, and preferably a brass containing 5 to 40% zinc.
The shaft or metal insert in the axis of the bullet may be made of metal or metal alloy chosen from steel, copper and the aluminum or copper alloys, for example a brass.
The bullet of the invention may be manufactured by conventional techniques, for example by first forming a bullet provided with a cylindrical axial hole opening to the front, inserting the internal shaft, and then forming the ogival nose by mechanical cold forming.
The invention applies to hunting gun bullets that are gyrostabilized or stabilized by fins, of the caliber of the gun or undersize, associated with a launch sabot.
The features and advantages of the present invention will appear in greater detail in the following description, relating to preferred embodiments, with reference to the appended drawings, which represent:
FIG. 1: a schematic view of a gyrostabilized bullet with the caliber of the gun, according to the invention.
FIG. 2: a partial view in section of the front portion of the ogive of the bullet of FIG. 1, showing the beginning of deformation on impact with the target.
FIG. 3: a partial view in section of the front portion of the ogive, at the beginning of penetration into the target after impact.
FIG. 4: a schematic half-view in partial section of a variant embodiment of the invention, representing an undersize bullet.
FIG. 5: a partial half-view in section of a variant of the internal cavity of the ogive of the bullet of FIG. 1.
FIG. 6: an external half-view of the bullet of FIG. 1 comprising a crimping groove where the ogive and the central portion of the bullet meet.
FIG. 7: a front view of the nose of the ogive comprising the fragmentation notches of the wall.
As shown in FIG. 1, the bullet with the caliber of the gun is of the monobloc metal type and comprises at its rear portion a basal narrowing (1), at its central portion a body (2), and at its front portion a stepped ogive (3).
An internal supported shaft (4) whose surface supports longitudinal ribs (5) is placed in a hole drilled in the axis of the bullet body and passing through the ogive (3).
The bullet supporting the internal shaft (4) is inserted into a case furnished with a percussion cap and a charge, of conventional type, not shown.
The ogival head (3) of the bullet is very streamlined to reduce aerodynamic drag as much as possible, and the diameters d1 of the orifice (8) and d2 of the flat (6) of the nose (7) that surrounds it are as small as possible. Thus, in the example of FIG. 1, the diameter d2 of the flat is slightly less than the diameter d of the internal shaft (4), the ratio d2:d being close to 0.8:1, while the diameter d1 of the orifice is such that the ratio d1:d is equal to approximately 0.5.
The internal cylindro-conical cavity (9) thus delimited, opens into the nose (7) of the ogive (3) via the circular shaped orifice (8).
The theoretical profile of the nose (7) and the rear portion (10) of the ogive (3) meet on a tangential line situated at a distance (1) of approximately ½ the height of the rear portion (10) of the ogive from the connection of the latter with the central portion (2) of the bullet.
The large base of the nose of the stepped ogive (3) has a diameter d4 slightly greater than the front diameter d3 of the rear portion of the ogive. This arrangement, in relation to the shape of the internal cavity (9) causes a thinning of the wall of the ogival head, thus generating a line of mechanical weakness (11). This line of weakness (11) makes it possible to control the deformation of the ogival head (3) on impact with the target.
FIG. 2 shows the beginning of the deformation of the stepped ogive (3) on impact with the target. The force (F) is exerted on the base of the flat (6) of the nose (7) of the stepped ogive (3) of the bullet. Thus, the nose (7) crumples progressively while causing a radial expansion of the wall of the nose, whose point of articulation is situated at right angles to the line of mechanical weakness (11). This movement causes the deformation by radial expansion of the front of the portion (10) of the ogive (3), causing the formation of a conical entrance (12) which then generates the "mushrooming"0 of the bullet.
At the same time, the soft portions of the target are engaged in the cavity (9) and in the conical entrance (12), and they thus create a considerable radial pressure Pi on the internal walls of the cavity (9). This pressure, combined with the line of mechanical weakness (11) contributes to the initiation of the process of "mushrooming" or of expansion of the bullet.
FIG. 3 shows the evolution of the process of "mushrooming" of the bullet. The conical entrance (12) continues to open, while the ogival head (3) of the bullet rolls up about the axis of the bullet, uncovering the front point of the internal shaft (4) whose rigidity is greater than that of the body of the bullet. When the "mushrooming" process has reached its end phase, the wall of the ogival head of the bullet is totally inside out and the body of the bullet then has a mushroom shape without loss of material, while the internal shaft may, where necessary, be detached. The diameter of the bullet body thus deformed is approximately three times the initial diameter.
FIG. 4 represents the invention applied to an undersize bullet (13) supporting a fin (14) on its rear portion, housed in a launch sabot (15), the assembly being placed, in the usual manner, in a primed and charged cartridge case, not shown.
As shown in FIG. 4, the stepped ogive (16) comprises a nose (17) whose large base has a diameter (identical to the diameter d4 of FIG. 1) greater than the diameter of the front of the rear portion (18) of the ogive (16) (identical to the diameter d3 of FIG. 1). The internal cavity (19) is substantially identical to the internal cavity (9) of the bullet of FIG. 1, and operates in the same manner on impact with the target.
This undersize bullet may be used in a shotgun with a smooth or slightly rifled barrel for shooting distances not usually exceeding 100 meters. This bullet is stabilized on the trajectory by the fin (14).
A variant embodiment of the ogival nose of the bullet is shown in FIG. 5.
As this figure shows, the internal cavity (9) consists of two trunks of cones joining at their large base, so that the truncated cone surface (20) of the rear portion and the truncated cone surface (21) of the front portion meet on a line situated immediately next to the narrowing at the base of the ogival nose.
In this embodiment, the distance 11 between the plane of the orifice (8) and the line (22) where the two truncated cone surfaces (20) and (21) meet is equal to approximately 1.5 times the distance 12 separating this same line of the plane from the line where the truncated cone surface (20) and the surface of the internal shaft (4) meet.
According to a variant (not shown), the truncated cone surface (20) meets the external surface of the internal shaft (4) slightly behind the front end of the latter. According to another variant, the junction (22) between the two truncated cone surfaces (20) and (21) occurs on a rounded surface or else, the truncated cone surface (20) is replaced by a spherical ring surface connecting without interruption to the truncated cone surface (21).
FIG. 6 shows, in an external half-view, a variant of the bullet of FIG. 1, comprising a crimping groove (23) situated on the theoretical connection (24) of the rear portion (10) of the ogival head with the body (2) of the bullet. This rear portion (10) of the ogive has a convex profile.
The crimping groove (23) here has a rectangular cross section. It is intended to make it easier to install and hold the bullet in the cartridge.
According to a conventional technique, the body (2) of the bullet may comprise decompression grooves.
As shown in FIG. 7, the orifice (8) may have fragmentation notches (25) which make it easier to partially open the ogival nose (7) thus accelerating the deformation of the head of the bullet on impact with the target.

Marco Benevento Unveils November Tour Dates In Support of New Album Let It Slide (Out Sept 20/RPF)
WATCH THE VIDEO FOR FIRST SINGLE "LET IT SLIDE":
https://youtu.be/joFRnBi4f3I
Marco Benevento has announced a run of November shows in support of his new album Let It Slide, out September 20 (RPF). Together with his summer/fall dates already announced he has 25 shows scheduled through November including a headlining show at Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn October 24. Marco recently announced his new album and it has already been met with praise from KCRW, Brooklyn Vegan, and a live performance on Adult Swim's FishCenter.
Watch "Let It Slide" here, filmed on a VHS camera: https://youtu.be/joFRnBi4f3I
"Bubbling, epigrammatic, free-wheeling" - KCRW, on new single
"Benevento was bridging the gap between indie rock and jam bands way before there were thinkpieces on it" - Brooklyn Vegan
"Throughout his long and acclaimed career, piano virtuoso Marco Benevento has experimented within forms and flipped them from the inside, out" - Metro NY
Let It Slide is the result of a new partnership and fast friendship with Leon Michels (El Michels Affair) who has worked with Dr. John, Dan Auerbach, Charles Bradley, Lee Fields and Mark Ronson. Michels produced the album and recorded it at Diamond Mine Studios in Queens and Benevento's own Fred Short studio in the Catskills.
Let It Slide features Benevento (Vocals, Piano, Synths, Bass, Percussion), Nick Movshon (Drums, Bass), Leon Michels (Organ, Percussion, Bass, Guitar, Saxophone), Karina Rykman (Vocals and official bassist in Benevento's touring trio), Andy Borger (Drums on "Solid Gold") and longtime musical partner Brad Barr (Guitar on "Humanz").
Benevento has performed everywhere from Carnegie Hall and Newport Jazz to Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo, and worked in the studio and on the road with the likes of Richard Swift (The Shins, The Arcs), Jon Brion (Spoon, Aimee Mann), A.C. Newman (The New Pornographers), and Simone Felice (The Felice Brothers, The Lumineers). He also plays keyboards in Joe Russo's Almost Dead. "It's safe to say that no one sees the keyboard quite like Marco Benevento's genre-blind mashup of indie rock, jazz and skewed improvisation," the LA Times has raved, while NPR said he combines "the thrust of rock, the questing of jazz and the experimental ecstasy of jam."

On Saturday, the Dakota Jackalopes defeated Saskatchewan 4-2 to finish out their season. That evening, coach Flim Dahlgren held a state-of-the-season press conference, at which he got a bit philosophical about the nature of winning and losing, particularly in the case of a rebuilding club like his.
Dahlgren cocked his head and continued. "My players tried very hard all season to win. Perhaps I should have been telling them to lose instead? But still, we finished with the third-worst record, which is bad, but also good. It's quite curious.

The Cast & Crew of 'The Edge of Salvation'
What happens when all that you have known is taken away from you and you are forced to live a life that you have always dreaded? In 'Edge of Salvation ', a very well off family is put in this exact predicament. This film takes a social-economic look at what our country is faced with today as seen through the eyes of a 14 year-old-boy and a family that loses everything due to a down economy, pride, greed and ultimately "man's inhumanity to man". 'Edge of Salvation ' premiere took place December 6, 2012 at the renowned Arclight Cinema on Sunset Boulevard. The theatre was packed with attendees, which included the cast and crew from the film itself, anticipating the premiere of 'Edge of Salvation '.

EWG report: fluorinated chemical pollution is still spreading and there's "no end in sight"
A new report shows just how serious fluorinated chemical pollution has become. The problem has grown dramatically since it was first reported in American drinking water and communities 20 years ago, with the number of contaminated sites rising steadily despite the fact that some of these chemicals are no longer used.
PFAS are a group of chemicals that were used in hundreds of products throughout the years. Two of the worst ones have now been banned: PFOS, a chemical that was used in Scotchgard and other fabric coatings, and PFOA, which was used in Teflon and other cookware. However, many manufacturers have simply found chemically similar alternatives that are mostly untested and may prove to be no safer – or perhaps even more dangerous – than their predecessors. As it stands, nearly all Americans' blood is contaminated with PFAS chemicals.
Another big source of contamination, especially at military sites and airports, is firefighting foam, which was rich in the chemicals until it was replaced with another substance.
The Environmental Working Group has just updated its interactive map to show new contamination sites. Just 52 sites were listed in 19 states when the map was launched ten months ago; it now counts 94 sites across 22 states. This number is only likely to grow, with EWG Editor-in-Chief Bill Walker telling the Asbury Park Press that he believes we're not even close to knowing the scope of this problem. As more and more communities carry out tests, the numbers of affected areas continue to grow.
The state with the dubious distinction of topping the list of PFAS sites is Michigan, where the problem is so extensive that Governor Rick Snyder has set up a PFAS Action Response Team. One big contributor was the Wolverine footwear firm's practice of dumping tannery waste at dump sites throughout Kent County, where they made their way into local rivers as well as the drinking water. In fact, M Live reports that two of the area's polluted residential wells have the highest known contamination levels in drinking water on record. Michigan has 30 known PFAS sites in total.
The state has asked sewage plants to question industrial customers about their PFAS use because these chemicals are strong enough to withstand wastewater treatment and make their way into biosolid sludge that is then used on crops.
New Jersey is another state that ranks highly, and it recently became the first one to create enforceable standards governing PFOA levels in drinking water.
Human studies have linked PFAS exposure with certain types of cancer, along with high cholesterol, thyroid disorders, a weak immune system, low birth weight, and other illnesses.
Why isn't the EPA doing something about this?
Despite these dangers, the EPA has yet to set strict guidelines for the chemicals in drinking water. Currently, there are non-enforceable advisory guidelines of 70 ppt for the two chemicals combined, which greatly exceeds the amounts found to be safe by studies. Twenty-five senators have formally asked the EPA to declare maximum contaminant levels for PFAS, which would make the chemicals part of the contaminants regulated by the Safe Drinking Water Act. Meanwhile, a handful of states have set or proposed lower levels.
With EPA tests revealing PFAS contamination in public drinking water systems that service 16.1 million people across 33 states, it's time that something is done about this growing problem before more people become ill. With such widespread contamination, your best bet remains investing in a good water filter to ensure that contaminants and heavy metals don't make their way into your drinking water and put your health at risk.
