Q: Python text to sentences when uppercase word appears I am using Google Speech-to-Text API and after I transcribe an audio file, I end up with a text which is a conversation between two people and it doesn't contain punctuation (Google's automatic punctuation or speaker diarization features are not supported for this non-English language). For example:
Hi you are speaking with customer support how can i help you Hi my name is whatever and this is my problem Can you give me your address please Yes of course

It appears as one big sentence, but I want to split the different sentences whenever an uppercase word appears, and thus have:
Hi you are speaking with customer support how can i help you

Hi my name is whatever and this is my problem

Can you give me your address please

Yes of course

I am using Python and I don't want to use regex, instead I want to use a simpler method. What should I add to this code in order to split each result into multiple sentences as soon as I see an uppercase letter?
# Each result is for a consecutive portion of the audio. Iterate through
# them to get the transcripts for the entire audio file.
for i, result in enumerate(response.results):
    transcribed_text = []
    # The first alternative is the most likely one for this portion.
    alternative = result.alternatives[0]
    print("-" * 20)
    print("First alternative of result {}".format(i))
    print("Transcript: {}".format(alternative.transcript))

A: A simple solution would be a regex split:
inp = "Hi you are speaking with customer support how can i help you Hi my name is whatever and this is my problem Can you give me your address please Yes of course"
sentences = re.split(r'\s+(?=[A-Z])', inp)
print(sentences)

This prints:
['Hi you are speaking with customer support how can i help you',
 'Hi my name is whatever and this is my problem',
 'Can you give me your address please',
 'Yes of course']

Note that this simple approach can easily fail should there be things like proper names in the middle of sentences, or maybe acronyms, both of which also have uppercase letters but are not markers for the actual end of the sentence.  A better long term approach would be to use a library like nltk, which has the ability to find sentences with much higher accuracy.

We have teamed up with some awesome blogs to giveaway a really great blender! Plus, please read our host's story below about how the BLENDTEC giveaway came about. When I was on vacation in New York City last November 2012, my girlfirend and I were surfing TV channels and happened upon one that was talking about Vitamix and Blendtec. It explained how Vitamix had copied another company. If you want the details, you can read more about this federal court ruling here. I will now be affiliating with Blendtec.
I was really excited about the cookbook that came with the Blendtec. It is spiral bound and hard sided and someone that is really into eating healthy has put down some fabulous recipes! The recipes are labeled as to whether they are Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Vegan, RAW and low sodium recipes as well as regular recipes that require wheat, meat and dairy. There are even recipes for exfoliating and skin care, plus recipes for your pet as well! The recipes also have nutritional and calorie counts. In addition there are recipes for making your own flour. You do NOT need a separate container to make flour like you do for the Vitamix. That is a huge plus in my book. And there are recipes for making your own nut milks. Speaking of nut milks…I decided to see how Blendtec compared with the Vitamix in making Almond Milk since I use alot of home-made almond milk.
I was thrilled because the lid of the Blendtec is much easier to use than the lid on the VitaMix. Previously, I had to ask my husband to take the lid off the VitaMix because my arthritic hands could not unlock it. I was shocked at how powerful the Blendtec machine is in comparison. I do not soak the Almonds when I make Almond milk. I use them straight out of the bag. The Blendtec has pre-programmed cycles, so I pressed the cycle for the milk. This machine is fast and powerful! When the cycle ended and I poured the ingredients into the strainer I noticed the feel of the almond pulp was much finer than the other machine and the milk seemed to have more almond flavor.
My next comparison was to blend a quick gluten-free bread. I couldn't believe how quickly this machine whizzed this mix together. I pulsed the Blendtec a couple times, scraped down the sides once and hit pulse again and it was done! The bread turned out fabulously and my husband loved the texture and flavor. I have to mention, again, how easy the lid is to handle on these Blendtec containers. I also like the wider container size that has the same volume as the taller Vitamix container. The Blendtec WildSide container is easier for me to handle. The Blendtec also fits on the machine and under my cabinets where the other machine does not.
The Twister container is used for tackling thicker dough and comes with a small recipe booklet. There are recipes items that require high speeds or have heavy doughs such as Dairy-Free Ice Creams, pasta dough, pizza dough, nut butters and many other recipes. To test the Twitster Container I made the recipe for Whole Wheat Spinach Pasta but substituted gluten-free flour and I didn't have spinach, so I substituted cilantro. It was a very thick dough but I used the special spatula, Spectacula, as it is called, which made it very easy to remove the ingredients and very easy to clean the container. This dough was very easy to make with the Blendtec, and the noodles held up very well despite using gluten-free flour!
My final thoughts on the Blendtec are that it is a more powerful machine than the Vitamix and you do not need a plunger to use with the Blendtec. I like the fact that I do not have to open the top of the lid to push down food when you use a Blendtec. It is very easy to use and I like the fact that Blendtec provides a separate container, the Twister Jar, to handle thicker projects. I also love the Blendtec lids. I can easily use them and remove them myself without any help.
This fact makes it much easier for me to cook when I am at home alone. I also love the service that Blendtec has provided me in the short time I have known them.
I am proud to be affiliated with Blendtec and I highly recommend them.
This giveaway of a BlendTec Blender and Jars is truly awesome! This blender is the terrific!
I hope to win and gift it to my beautiful mom.
Everyone needs this blender in their home. It will be used every single day in mine.
It looks like an awesome blender! Way out of our price range for a blender so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
Thank you Blendtec for sponsoring this awesome giveaway!
I would love to win this for my mother who is 75 and still active.
I've heard such good things about Blendtec. Thank you for the chance!
I have read wonderful reviews about this blender.
A blender that can be used to make pasta… awesome!
Thank you for the giveaway 🙂 I really need a blender to make diet meals and smoothies!
I could really use a blender 🙂 hope I win!
I'm veg but not gluten free— would love this!
This blender looks great and I love that the recipes are labeled if they are gluten free.

New AGV AX9 Helmet Launches in North America
Wade Thiel December 15, 2018
Image from AGV
Multiple Configurations, Multiple Uses
AGV has been building quality motorcycle helmets since the 1940s. Today, Dainese owns it. Any time the company comes out with something new, you'd better take note. On December 12, AGV announced the North American launch of its new AX9 helmet.
The AX9 follows in the footsteps of the AX8 helmet that came before it but offers some new design features and updates. It's sleeker overall and more of an on-road lid than the AX8 ever was.
The AX9 is special because it can be used in four different configurations. It all depends on what you need. The adventure touring rider who needs a helmet for off-road duty but likes to spend most of his or her time on pavement should be quite happy with the AX9.
A Look at Its Features
The AX9 comes with a bevy of favorable traits including an advanced and adjustable five-vent system for airflow, top-of-the-line comfort with an interior that features antibacterial and moisture wicking materials, a fog and scratch resistant visor that provides 190-degree horizontal vision and 110-degree vertical vision, and a shell made of a carbon, aramid, and and fiberglass composite.
The technical features don't stop there. It also gets a Shalimar and Nubuck fabric neckroll, an adjustable peak that's more aerodynamic, a removable and washable interior, a visor micro opening for enhanced airflow, and the visor comes off the helmet so you can wear goggles if you wish. Additionally, the AX9 comes ready to take generic communication systems.
Overall, the AX9 does a good job of taking what the AX8 was good at and improving upon it. With a price tag starting at $499 and seven different graphic designs, the AX9 looks like it could be a winner for AGV.

WORLDSTAR!! Fans will do anything for the 'Gram these days.
A group of dudes were at a recent Lil Uzi Vert show, turning up on the second floor balcony, when one of them thought it was a good idea to jump off and onto the stage.
Well, he appeared to make it without seriously injuring himself, but he got a punch to the face and was dragged off the stage like a child on punishment.
LMFAO! At least he made it to WorldstarHipHop, right?


Spring Break is a time to relax and recharge before finishing off the rest of the spring semester. The time off can also be a time to start getting some traction on career-related items…especially if you're graduating this coming May.
Here are posts we've written previously about career-related things to do during break time.
Have a wonderful Spring Break, stay safe, and we'll see you when you get back!
P.S. Getting your resume ready for applying for jobs would be an EXCELLENT thing to do during spring break!

Q: Saving into table on button click I have an onclick event such as:
@Override
public void onClick(View createView) {
    switch (createView.getId()) {
    case R.id.save_button:
        break;
    }
}

When the button is clicked I want to be able to call:
public void addAppointment(String string) {
  // Insert a new record into the Events data source.
  // You would do something similar for delete and update.
  ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
  values.put(TITLE, string);
  values.put(TIME, string);
  getContentResolver().insert(CONTENT_URI, values);
}

from another class, do I have to import certain parts or make it static?

A:
do I have to import certain parts or make it static?

No. I suggest you create new instance of your second class(in onCreate() method) and call its method.
@Override
public void onClick(View createView) {
    switch (createView.getId()) {
    case R.id.save_button:
        sc.addAppointment("someValue");
        break;

Monica Puig Makes Olympic History, Winning Puerto Rico's First Gold Medal
Puerto Rico now has its first Olympic gold medal, courtesy of tennis star Monica Puig, who beat Germany's Angelique Kerber in the women's singles tournament at Rio's Summer Olympics Saturday.
"I"m speechless," a smiling Puig said after her historic win. "I wanted it so bad."
"I never imagined in my wildest dreams that this would happen," Puig added — and she said her experience in Rio de Janeiro has been like a dream. She's looking forward, she said, to waking up tomorrow morning and seeing her gold medal sitting on her bedside table.
As for her plans after the Olympics, Puig said, "I know my life is going to change a bit." But she said some things won't — because, she added, "I love what I do."
Puig won in front of an enthusiastic crowd at the Olympic Tennis Center, with her more dramatic points leading fans to shout "Si se puede" and wave the flag of Puerto Rico. More than once, the chair umpire went from requesting silence to simply shushing the audience.
Puerto Rico has been sending athletes to the Olympics since 1948; before today, Team Puerto Rico had amassed eight Olympic medals — none of them gold.
Facing an opponent who hadn't been taken to three sets before today's final, Puig ensured Kerber would have to play three to win by seizing the first set, 6-4. Kerber responded by taking the second, also by 6-4.
In the decisive third set, Puig served to open the first game and won a series of quick points. She managed to break Kerber's serve in the next game, with the players trading hits from the baseline.
In short order, Puig was up, 3-0. But after the break, Kerber regrouped and seemed poised to hold serve, lashing the court with long, angled shots. But Puig put her on her heels and took the fourth game, as well. She went on to win the fifth — but Kerber held serve to force a seventh game in the last set, at 5-1.
The long rallies were likely part of the reason that after the match, Puig said of Kerber, "She's such a great fighter." Puig added that she had to play some inspired tennis to beat her.
Perhaps the enormity of the moment finally reached Puig's nerves in that seventh game: Serving, she fell behind love-40 before steeling herself and hitting winners again. But that seventh game was, as they do not say in Brazil, a doozy.
Kerber was leading 40-30 and missed a chance to break Puig's serve and make it 5-2, in a point that saw Puig dig out several tough shots as Kerber sought to put the game away. It seemed Kerber would do just that after Puig returned a ball high to the middle of the court — but Kerber's attempt to slam the ball instead zipped it into the net.
For minutes afterward, the score flipped from 40-40 to an advantage for one player or the other — but neither could put the game away. Both dumped shots into the net; Puig double-faulted at 40-40 to give Kerber an edge — but she recovered well, and, after slamming powerful forehands across the net, she erased Kerber's advantage with a soft lob that Kerber couldn't reach.
Another long exchange followed, as the two players moved each other around the court, and Pugh eventually forced Kerber into a bad shot. Celebrating the win, Puig tossed her racket into the air, wearing a look of someone who's found unexpected joy.
That final game was the highlight of a match that had several rousing exchanges, with the left-handed Kerber slugging it out from the baseline with the right-handed Puig. Those exchanges whipped the crowd in Rio into a frenzy of applause and appreciation.
The crowd included the president of Puerto Rico's Olympic Committee, Sara Rosario Velez. After the match, Velez was surrounded by a happy group that chanted "Puerto Rico! Puerto Rico!" and celebrated with Puig. When we asked Velez for a comment, she said simply, "This is a great day for all the Puerto Ricans — that live n Puerto Rico and around the world!"


I am one day away from surviving the first three weeks of school. You might think that isn't a big deal, but there are several reasons why I actually deserve an award, night out on the town, and full body massage.
First of all, as a teacher, it is important that we show all our students how much we love them and want them to be at school. Different teachers do this in different ways. My preferred way was to shake each student's hand every morning and give them a personal "good morning" as they come in the door. That sounds all well and good until I realized the trail of contamination I was creating. Sure, I would sanitize MY hands after I greeted everyone, but…..do the math there. Yeah. Now I just SAY good morning to each one and keep my hands to myself.
The second qualifying category is the physical and mental fatigue that inevitably comes with the 8 hour days spent juggling the very personal needs of 31 one pre-pubescent kiddoes in one small room. Teaching isn't one of those "show up and do your thing" kind of jobs. I eat, sleep, and breathe teaching. Those kids are on my mind almost as much as my own kids, and more so during the day. Keeping them engaged, happy, safe, and entertained with a one man(woman) pony show is no small feat. Let up for one moment and you have a full on mutiny on your hands. Yeah, I'm tired.
Let's just mention quickly the fact that the first day of school was on a full moon, and just this last Monday we had a solar eclipse. If you don't think the moon has any effect on kids….you must be living on the dark side of the said moon. Seriously. I'm pretty sure the legend of the werewolf originated with a teacher noticing the craziness of his/her students during a full moon. I can totally see half my class turning into wolves and running wild and free through the midnight wilderness.
With children big, or children small.
WE work to see your children grow.
but we are dealing with thirty-one!
learning is about much more than a grade.
to learn to be who they can be.
the learner should be the one in school.
Yeah, I know I'm not a poet, but Siri and I thought this was pretty good work for a drive home from the doctor today.
No, this doesn't mean we are going to start running around like tiny dogs with ADHD, it means we are going to make sure we know what we are doing, we are in charge, and we don't let those awesome H parents plow us into the ground.
Be the Chihuahua. Words to live by. Cause I said so.

I like this so much! I love the poem. You amaze me.
Litterally made me laugh out loud and it was great to see a teacher's perspective.


Manuel's shares as a contributing author in this book a personal story of finding home in the way she walks. She pays homage to her ancestors. (There is no title of her piece. It can be found on page 201).
Although Together We Are One is based on Thich Nhat Hanh's teachings given to Buddhist practitioners of color, readers of all backgrounds and walks of life can appreciate this inspirational and practical guide. In chapters focusing on honoring our ancestors, developing understanding and compassion, and seeing the world in terms of interbeing, Nhat Hanh shows how meditation and the practice of looking deeply can help create a sense of wholeness and connectedness with others. Chapters are interspersed with mindfulness practice exercises and the personal stories of skilled writers, such as Larry Ward (author of Love's Garden), and Sr. Chan Khong (author of Learning True Love). Covering the discovery of a spiritual path, the experience of finding balance, and overcoming obstacles in an unpredictable world, Together We Are One is a valuable addition to the unique expression of Buddhism in the West.

Whether you are looking for a lock for business or you need it for home, the selection process always demand more care. As door locks are some of the most essential accessories of every door and even for every house so they are desired to be of rich quality. A good door lock system is observed to serve homes owner with higher security and safety. Other then this selection parameters also include your budget, need of advanced door security features, location where your door will be installed as many more. Here we are just going to discuss about some of the most common types of door lock product available in market. It will help you to pick the right tool from wide range of collections.
These door locking systems are often attached in permanent form to the door units. You can find these lock hardware in variable size and prices; note that your need and required specifications must form right combination. Generally, these padlocks are available in two major forms: You can buy them in form of combinations and the other option is keyed arrangement. Padlocks can be easily recognised due to their popular looks; you can find them in free standing variant and in form of a portable unit. Note that, the combination locks door use to have numbers of dials that are used to form the exact combination of digits for opening a particular door unit. On the other side, the keyed locks are also available in two different forms as non rekeyable and rekeyable. Out of these, the first one offers option to change keys as per convenience whereas the rekeyable locks can also be of key retaining type of non retaining type. Note that, some local padlock designs can have shrouded shackle.
These door locks are usually installed at external door and they generally have wide range of options to buy from market. The three major categories of deadbolt are lockable, double and single thumbturn. Most of the American home installation use to follow single cylinder type door lock arrangements. These locks use to have a special secure key cylinder at outer side whereas rosary is found in the inner side of lock that assists to make locked connection. These levers lock are not considered safer because if somehow intruders gain access to inner portion of your door, either via windows or through any peephole then they can unlock the whole system easily via thumbturn. On the other side, the double cylinder deadbolts use to have a key cylinder on both sides so that theft issues can be resolved. But these locks are more difficult to get opened fast at the time of emergency like fire etc. The last types of deadbolts are hybridised models and they are known as lockable thumbturn. It helps users to lock doors with two options that mean it can behave life single cylinder type deadbolt when few members of family are inside and it can work like double deadbolt when everyone goes out. Hence they are more reliable as well as safe. Other than this, you may also hear two more names in this category: they are jimmy deadbolt locks and Captive deadlocks. The first option is more suitable to double door home secure installations. On the other side the captive deadlocks are little expensive choice where an external key is always required to remove thumbturn from its locked position.
You can often find such type of door locks in residential buildings. Many people use to install these types of locks for secure places but experts recommend to avoid installation of these locks when you demand proper security. The region behind is that they use to have lock cylinder inside the knob instead of having it inside the door unit. Hence they can be easily broken up with hammers or wrench to gain access inside. In case if you have installed knob locks are major entry points of your home then it is good to get them replaced as soon as possible.
These types of locks are generally considered as ideal choice for inner door units and in commercial settings. Lever handle locks are much easier to open as compared to knob locks because they have larger push down type handle. These locks are highly preferred at those locations where more movements are related to handicaps.
Cam locks are commonly found in variety of places like mailboxes, cabinets and even in many lower security type applications. These locks use to come with variable length options and they have different types of locking mechanism inside that offer smooth functionality. You can easily pick them in various design options that can suit your door installation arrangements.
This category is highly preferred for commercial units, for apartment doors and in case of entry glass doors. Mortise locks are very much similar to Rim locks in terms of appearance but the internal door hardware arrangements use to differ by great amount. The Rim cylinder type locks are usually attached to rim latch locks that you can find mounted inside the door. Generally, the rim locks are mounted using two screws and they attach the mechanism to backside of the rim cylinder. Whereas in case of mortise hardware, the cylinders are attached into mortise hardware itself via screws.
As the name indicates, these locks are mounted inside wall. You might have seen such types of lock at emergency exit points. They are usually accompanied by an alarm system so that signals can be passed to whole premises at the time of emergency. They usually have a box type arrangement beside that helps to keep few valuables that can be needed at the time of emergency.
This category of special locks is preferably used for sliding door mechanisms, desks and for cabinets. You will find two common styles of these furniture locks in common, they are push button style and of bolt style; both of these have unique specifications and applications. The bolt style construction use to have an additional piece of flat metal in its installation arrangement, it extends to either side for of the lock so that device can be secured. These locks are commonly used for drawers, cabinets and desks. In case if push button type locks you will find a rod coming out that helps to keep things well secured at specific position.
As technology has grown up now so it is quite obvious to expect something new in the list. The keyless entry pads are special type of electronic locks that makes use of a numbered keypad for initiating the locking and unlocking mechanism. You need not to use a key to unlock these systems rather a numeric key will be needed. Most of these entry pads follow slide code type arrangements whereas few expensive ones are also designed with card systems and touch pad entry mechanisms. You will need an experienced professional to install these types of locks at home but they provide added safety to whole construction.
With such a big list of door lock types it becomes quite difficult to pick the right lock type for new house doors. If you are more influenced with technology and need highly safe locking mechanism for your door or any closet then prefer to install keyless entry type locking mechanisms at those locations. But these are expensive options so you need to make decision accordingly. We have wide collection of all these door locks and our professionals are well trained to handle all installation needs at residential as well as commercial buildings. If you are ready to get a new lock for your house or office then prefer to set your budget first and then ask for recommendations from professionals to get an idea about which one of all these doors can solve your purpose. Some of these door locks can be installed to special type of door arrangements so prefer to pick your design accordingly.

MEDIA APPEARANCE: "Connecting With Classics" Episode 7: "Vertigo"
For the July selection of the Feelin' Film Podcast "Connecting With Classics" series, host Aaron White and I have been circling Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo for months, ever since it officially celebrated its 60th anniversary on May 9th. Next to Casablanca, it's probably the highest regarded film "Connecting With Classics" will present in this series during this inaugural year of 2018. We here dive into the AFI's Top 100, but Vertigo sits atop "The 50 Greatest Films of Time" as voted on by the British Film Institute's Sight and Sound magazine. Ladies and gentlemen, they don't get much better than this.
This month, Aaron and I are joined by a special guest, who last year completed the enormous challenge of watching Alfred Hitchcock's entire filmography. He is Reed Lackey, from the podcast The Fear of God, friend of the show, and probably the biggest Hitchcock fan I know. Welcome, Reed!


Last week on the 28th and 29th March Wax Jacket attended Legalex, held at the ExCel in London. It was largely a success, with some useful contacts made, some ongoing clients signing up with us, and the awareness of our brand being further extended.
Legalex is aimed at legal professionals and those in supporting industries. We spoke to Paralegals, solicitors, barristers and everyone between. There was a right mix of characters and we actually had a lot of fun chatting to the different people that visited the stand throughout the day. We'd previously readied two Magnums of champagne and an iPad Mini as a tempting giveaway in return for the business cards of the movers and shakers in our industry. The images of the winners receiving their prizes are on the Wax Jacket social media pages and we have a full jar of business cards. Job done!
We learned a huge amount from Legalex – not just about the future of the legal industry, but we also gleaned useful market research into our own brand. This will help us move further forward in the future – which is always our aim here. We chatted to the providers of some useful case handling software that we are looking to implement to further reduce the lifecycle of our clients' cases.
Enquiries wise, we saw a surge in overseas clients last week. Four on one day coming from Canada alone. The worldwide potential for UK process serving must be staggering, and we're starting to see growth from all corners of the globe.
We have a unique selling point for international clients. We operate a truly 24-hour service. It was a decision I made in the early days of wax jacket to operate a split shift approach to deliver first-class service to all of our clients. During the core hours of business 8 am to 6 pm there are three members of staff in the office able to deal with enquiries. From six till 10 there are two members of staff available to answer enquiries on the web or in person by the phone. The 'graveyard shift' is 10 pm until 6 am is manned by a nominated member of staff who deals with urgent enquiries from the internet. In addition, this member of staff is able to prepare statements and affidavits for cases that are in court following day. The ability to react 24hours a day is helping us manage our clients' needs better than ever. It is a worldwide economy, after all.
Serving all types of court documents for clients all over the world in the UK. Trace and find service available. Don't waste money on trying to serve someone until you know where they are!

De  naässenen was een gnostische groepering uit de tweede eeuw na Chr. die bekend is uit de tekst  Refutatio Omnium Haeresium van Hippolytus van Rome (170-235). Hun naam is ontleend aan de veronderstelling dat zij de slang (Hebreeuws nahash) in het paradijs zouden vereren als brenger van gnosis. Er was een andere gnostische groepering die op basis van dezelfde veronderstelling de naam ophieten heeft naar het Griekse woord ophis  dat ook de betekenis van slang heeft. Er is in de godsleer van beide groeperingen overigens weinig overeenkomst.

Hyppolytus schreef in zijn werk dat hij zich baseerde op een document van de naässenen met de naam Rede (of Preek)  van de  naässenen. Het wordt voorafgegaan door een inleiding en besluit met een conclusie. De moeilijkheid voor de interpretatie van het werk is dat het oorspronkelijke document waar Hyppolytus zich op baseerde duidelijk alleen voor ingewijden moet zijn geschreven. Kennis van rituelen en de godsleer werd daarbij als verondersteld bekend en dus maar summier vermeld.

Beschrijving van de constructie van hun pleroma

Het grootste deel van de tekst van Hippolytus van Rome is een samenvatting van de opvatting van de naässenen over het pleroma. In de gnostiek is pleroma de benaming voor de volheid, de structuur en verblijfplaats van de goddelijke wereld. In gnostische teksten wordt het pleroma verschillend beschreven. De essentie van de top van het pleroma is echter vaak min of meer hetzelfde. Er is sprake van een Vader, een Moeder en een Zoon. De Vader ziet zich weerspiegeld in het lichtwater dat hem omgeeft en realiseert zich dat hij zichzelf ziet. Die gedachte verzelfstandigt zich en dat creëert de Moeder, vaak aangeduid als de Eerste Gedachte of ook wel Barbelo. Zij ontvangt een lichtvonk van de vader en produceert een Licht, de Zoon. Die wordt door de Vader gezalfd en daarom de Gezalfde, Christus, genoemd.  In alle gnostische teksten over het pleroma verschijnen dan eonen. Dat zijn emanaties van de Moeder en de Zoon. Het zijn goddelijke krachten van een lagere orde.

In sommige gnostische systemen, zoals ook in Eugnostus de Gelukzalige, komen hypostases, goddelijke zijnsvormen, voor als De Mens en Zoon van de Mens. Bij de naässenen vormen die samen een androgyne eenheid, ook wel Adamas genoemd, waarboven nog een hoogste onbekende God aanwezig is. In de inleiding wordt duidelijk gemaakt dat de gehele structuur van het universum drie eeuwige principes kent die ook zijnsvormen zijn:de Pre-existente, de Zelfverwekte en de Uitgestorte Chaos. De verhouding tussen deze zijnsvormen en de eerste drie is niet geheel duidelijk, maar de Zelfverwekte en de Mens moeten identiek zijn. In de tekst is daarnaast sprake van het bestaan van een demiurg, die hier de naam Esaldaeus heeft. Dat is de Griekse vorm van El Shaddai. Onder die naam is in Genesis God bekend bij de aartsvaders Abraham, Isaak en Jakob. Hij ordende door de schepping de Uitgestorte Chaos en is de heerser daarover.

Het universum, ook het goddelijke, kent een drievoudige structuur. Ook de Hemelse Mens heeft zowel een geestelijke, psychische als materiële, stoffelijke component. Dit is een parallel met de  opvatting in het valentinianisme waar de werkelijkheid verdeeld verdeeld werd in een pneumatische wereld (de goddelijke wereld), een psychische wereld (de wereld van de demiurg) en een stoffelijke wereld (de zichtbare wereld). Deze drie elementen komen bij de naässenen samen in  een mens, Jezus, de zoon van Maria. Door deze elementen sprak Jezus tot de drie gemeenschappen in het universum, de engelen, de psychici en de aardsen. Die worden benoemd als de uitverkorenen, de geroepen (de gnostici, de naässenen) en de in slavernij levenden (de niet-gnostici, die onwetend gehouden worden door de demiurg).

De rede, preek van de naässenen

Hierna volgt dan de Rede (of Preek) van de  naässenen. Het is een gecompliceerde verhandeling die de bedoeling van de Mens en Zoon van de Mens tracht te verduidelijken door het schetsen van een grote hoeveelheid parallellen met Griekse en oosterse godsdiensten. Er is een uitvoerig commentaar op twee hymnes aan Attis, de zoon en minnaar van Cybele in een Griekse mysteriecultus. Een van de hymnes syncretiseert Attis met de mysteriën van godheden als Adonis, Isis en Eleusis. Deze godheden en de met de cultus samenhangende rituelen worden verbonden met het bestaan van de Hemelse Mens.

De hemelse Adamas is het prototype waarvan de aardse mens, Adam, het evenbeeld is. De verbinding tussen die twee is de ziel. De aspecten van de Hemelse Mens komen samen in Jezus, die de Verlosser wordt door de gnosis te openbaren aan hen die dat waardig zijn. Dat wordt verbeeld als een proces van afdaling en opstijging van zowel de Hemelse Mens als de menselijke zielen. Het wordt  vergeleken met een oceaan, die altijd vloed en eb kent, nu naar beneden en nu naar boven  .

In dit tekstdeel wordt dan ook aan de slang gerefereerd. De slang wordt gezien als een vloeibare substantie. Zonder die aanwezigheid zou niets kunnen bestaan. Die substantie wordt geïdentificeerd als de rivier die in Genesis ontspringt in het paradijs en is daarmee het Levende water, een term die ook in andere gnostische literatuur, zoals de Openbaring van Adam, wordt gebruikt voor een doopplechtigheid waarin de hoogste vorm van gnosis bereikt werd.

De psalm van de naässenen

Hyppolytus beëindigt het hoofdstuk over de naässenen met het citeren van de de psalm van de naässenen. Het is van de meest poëtische teksten uit de gnostische literatuur. De psalm begint met het benoemen van de drie principes van het universum. Daarna vervolgt het met het lot van de ziel die tijdens haar zoektocht in het Labyrinth belandt, de wereld van het kwaad.  Aan het eind van de psalm brengt Jezus als Verlosser de mogelijkheid van gnosis.

Mandan Amin was born in the Northern Province of Iran. Early in her life, she learned the importance of education through her father who taught her that the only way to influence people and make a difference would be to be educated. Throughout school she studied hard and received an award of Excellence reserved only for those from the school district who had finished at the top of the class. Her love of science, medicine and strong ambition led her to follow an unconventional journey. While there was equality for women to get educated, most did not venture far from home. After she graduated from high school, she moved to Tehran to follow her dreams. She taught science, mathematics and drawing in an all-girl high school. She later went abroad to Germany where she got a bigger view of the world.
Upon her return to Tehran, she majored in political science in Tehran University Law School, which was a competitive undergraduate program. That followed with a Master's degree in hospital administration and an internship in a Tehran hospital. Throughout Mandan's life, she cared for policy to help streamline hospital protocols, knowing that providing committees to support further medical training as well as advocating for patients' comforts would help faster healing. Mandan also joined the International Organization for Children, where she taught and prepared young children who had intellectual disabilities for primary school.
In the 1970s, Mandan made the difficult decision to leave everything she had ever known behind. After settling in the United States, Mandan focused her attention on her children and their education. All three children followed their education path and the American Dream.
A common trend in Mandan's life was to actively help people. Whether it was disadvantaged children who could not advocate for themselves or friends needing support or empathy, Mandan was always there. She was the person who pushed her children and others to be their best selves. She believed everyone had some talent and, through education and hard work, they could realize their own American Dream.
It was her children's wish to provide others with the same opportunities that were given to her own children. Following in her footsteps, they established this fund in her name.

Olympic College gets new trustee
Christopher Dunagan — Nov 27th, 1996
Naomi Pursel says she supports strong
science education.
By Christopher Dunagan
Naomi Pursel, a former educator who founded a technical services company in Silverdale, has been appointed to the Olympic College Board of Trustees, replacing The Rev. Larry Robertson who recently resigned.
"Education is one of my passions," said Pursel, 54, a Silverdale resident.
"I basically feel the future in Kitsap County lies in establishing a very solid educational system in terms of science and technology."
Pursel taught high school science at Sacred Hearts Academy in Honolulu from 1967 to 1976 after she received her master's degree in in zoology from the University of Hawaii, where she also worked as a teaching assistant.
Other duties at Sacred Hearts Academy included working as chairwoman of the science department and assistant to the principal of registration and admissions.
In 1983, Pursel founded Pacific Western Services, Inc., which provides technical and engineering services — including computer programming and environmental services. Customers of the firm include the Navy and other federal and state agencies.
Last May, Pacific Western Services, with its 75 employees, merged with Envisioneering, Inc., where Pursel now works as division director.
Pursel maintains that small businesses are critical to America's industrial base, and she is particularly interested in encouraging minority-owned businesses. She has worked with Kitsap County Economic Development Council in promoting economic diversification.
She has twice received a Business Excellence Award from the U.S. Small Business Administration.
Pursel also volunteers her time with Kitsap County's Drug-Free/Family-Friendly Round Table, which promotes a safer and healthier work environment.
Professional memberships include the National Contract Management Association, Northwest Human Resource Management Association, Navy League and several local, state and federal business organizations.
She was born in Honolulu, a third-generation descendant of Japanese immigrants.
She and her husband, retired Navy Cmdr. Joe Pursel, have two sons and three grandchildren.
Pursel was appointed by Gov. Mike Lowry to serve a voluntary five-year term at Olympic College. Robertson, whose post she assumes, served on the Board of Trustees seven years.

Minister: Azerbaijani army ready to demonstrate April 2016 victory at any moment
In the April 2016 battles, the Armenian army was defeated only by a few units of the Azerbaijani army, Azerbaijani Defense Minister, Colonel-General Zakir Hasanov said at a press conference in Baku, Trend reports on June 18.
The minister said that the Azerbaijani army is ready to demonstrate the April victory at any moment.
"The servicemen do not start the war, but fulfill the military orders," he said. "Presently, the international situation does not allow to resort to the military actions. The Azerbaijani President is doing a great job to resolve the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict peacefully."
Hasanov stressed that the Azerbaijani army constantly strengthens its combat readiness.
"The Azerbaijani army is constantly developing and strengthening," he said. "Its combat readiness, psychological preparation is always at a high level. Armenia is very weak in this sphere. After the April 2016 battles, Armenian ex-President Serzh Sargsyan said that 'Armenia was fighting by using the armaments of the 1980s', although they said once that Armenia has a strong army".
On April 2, 2016, all the frontier positions and settlements of Azerbaijan were subjected to heavy fire by the Armenian Armed Forces. As a result of the shelling of Azerbaijan's settlements located along the line of contact, civilians were killed, including two children. Azerbaijan responded with an armed offensive, which resulted in four days of fighting, as the country liberated several important strategic spots previously occupied by Armenian Armed Forces. As a result of the successful counteroffensive, more than 2,000 hectares of territory were liberated from the Armenian occupation.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
The 1994 ceasefire agreement was followed by peace negotiations. Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council resolutions on withdrawal of its armed forces from Nagorno Karabakh and the surrounding districts.

Do not lead on your recruits with false hopes or impressions. If you do, they'll expect too much and quit before anything happens. Make certain that your pitch is realistic.
Achieve efficiency by hosting events to talk about your opportunity. When you obtain some motivated people in a presentation, you won't need to present your items repeatedly. Having a weekly get-together can be a great way to let people talk about your opportunity.
Always encourage your own recruits to attend live events, and lead by example by going yourself. Even though these events might not seem worthwhile, there is always something important to be gained. You get to network with others, as well as discover and share information so that everyone succeeds.

Your Boss Can Restrict Your…
Employers have latitude to know how workers are spending their off hours and can take away vacation time to protect the workplace from Covid-19
As the holiday season gets under way amid a Covid-19 surge across the country, employers are taking measures to encourage employees to limit their potential virus exposure and to safeguard workplaces. What is your boss is entitled to know about your holiday plans?
Employers have wide latitude during a pandemic in what they can ask regarding your holiday plans. That includes asking workers to take a pledge to refrain from any risky behavior—as some companies did right before Thanksgiving—and cautioning employees against any conduct that would violate federal or local health guidelines. It varies by state, but if it is a matter of protecting the safety of the workplace, employers can also discipline workers for what they do during off hours. That could include if workers don't disclose potential exposure to the virus and return to the workplace without quarantining after personal travel or after attending large celebrations.
Limitations on what employers can restrict in your off-time vary by state, but companies generally have leeway when it comes to protecting workplace safety.
Employers are required under Occupational Safety and Health Administration rules to provide a safe workplace, says Jennifer Merrigan Fay, an employment-law partner in Boston at Goodwin Procter LLP. While companies can't unreasonably invade an employee's privacy and make requests such as not to go outside, they can take other unusual, but not illegal, steps during a health crisis aimed at preventing the spread of Covid-19.
Companies can, for example, require employees to disclose any travel plans or recent trips, and can enforce recommendations from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or local health mandates for post-travel quarantine periods. Some firms also ask or require employees to sign pledges stating they'll keep celebrations small, wear a mask or even limit contact with people outside of their household, she said.
"It does feel unnatural, but behavior outside of the workplace causes such a risk to workplace health and safety," says Ms. Fay. "Employers are able to encroach more into employees' personal lives than they otherwise would."
Ms. Fay said it is key that whatever rules employers adopt are applied consistently to all employees.
Vacation time also isn't guaranteed under federal law, and most employers are within their rights to cancel a vacation and require workers to return to the job to prevent unnecessary travel.
"They are asking employees to change how they act outside of the workplace, and it isn't a normal request for employers," Ms. Fay said. "But in this time, we have to act differently than we normally would."
Some states, such as California and New York, have off-duty conduct laws that prevent employers from restricting activities that employees may do lawfully outside the workplace, including personal travel, says Rachel Conn, an employment attorney in San Francisco at Nixon Peabody LLP. Some union contracts could also include an off-duty conduct rule potentially preventing an employer from taking action against an employee.
Companies can also discipline employees if they are caught on social media violating state or local health mandates, such as being at a large party or traveling to a Covid hot spot and refusing to quarantine after.
"If an employer sees someone doing something on social media that is not in line with state or local orders, depending on employer policy, they could discipline that person or require them to quarantine," Ms. Conn said.
Companies in some states that ask workers to stay away from the workplace as a preventive measure aren't required to offer paid time off, said Ms. Fay. The Families First Coronavirus Response Act, enacted in March, requires private companies with 500 employees or fewer to provide up to 10 days of paid sick leave to workers in states that have quarantine mandates. The policy is set to expire Dec. 31.
Enforcement of policies regarding travel or large celebrations, however, can be difficult and in most cases falls on the employee to be honest about their plans.
"Employees should know what your employer's travel policy is and what would be required of you if you make travel plans," Ms. Conn said. "Employees should educate themselves on if there are advisories or guidance on travel before they make their plans."

Your final photos are only a small part of your wedding photography experience. How your photographer works to get those images and how they treat you during the process is just as important as the photos themselves. What makes me different from other photographers is the same reason why you are here reading through all this information – we both care about your wedding photos just a little more than the average person.
Please explore the following sections to see what makes your experience with me unique.
Investment is not just some buzz word I throw around to be edgy. Your wedding photography truly is an emotional investment that grows in value over time. Like an heirloom in a safe deposit box, wedding photos are not meant to be looked at every single day. They are meant to always be there to remind you of one of the happiest days of your life, taking you back through not only the events of the day you shared together, but also the memories, emotions, and feelings you experienced.
My rates are based on an a-la-carte system which allows complete flexibility for you to choose what is most important to you without being forced to pay for things you don't need.
Basic wedding photography coverage begins at $3000.
Full-service and unlimited photography coverage averages $4000 or so depending on which options you choose.
I am an all-inclusive photographer, and I provide high resolution images and full print rights with all coverages.
Engagement and other sessions begin at $400 and up.
Please contact me for specifics, including collections, print, and album options. I will also be happy to design a custom package to meet your unique needs. Contact Me today!
Are you the type of person who wants something a little more off the beaten path for your wedding photography? With my background in landscape photography, destination weddings and adventure sessions are a specialty of mine. Rates for these are based on my all-day rates, but every destination is different. Contact me today for a custom quote.
Elopements and simple weddings with fewer than 20 guests have special rates, please contact me for a custom quote.
"I hadn't originally considered using him for the wedding because we were doing a destination wedding in Playa del Carmen Mexico. After we received the engagement photos I knew that no one would capture our special day the way he could. "
" Matthew's photos of my wedding and rehearsal literally brought tears to my eyes when I saw them. "
" We couldn't have found a better photographer/artist to capture our special day!! Matthew is extremely talented and literally captures your wedding through the eyes of an artist. "
I have built my personal life around this belief, and I feel it is just as meaningful in the world of wedding photography. In a world full of people who are content with doing only what's necessary to do the job, I want to stand out as someone who is the exact opposite.
I believe you deserve a photographer who sees you as more than another number or sales goal. Your story deserves more than the cookie cutter treatment, or the tired old "smile and say cheese" treatment. You deserve a photographer who will lug 40lbs of extra equipment up a mountainside just to chase that one perfect, defining photo. You worked hard to get where you are today, and your photographer should too.
This is part of what makes me unique, and as a result I do things very differently from other photographers. In order to be able to give every couple the individual attention they deserve, I only accept a limited number of weddings each year. The first step is to contact me and set up an in-person meeting so we can get to know each other and make sure we are an excellent fit.


It's a fair bet that everyone in South Africa has one or more Tiger Brands product in their grocery cupboards right now. That sort of popularity comes from trusting the quality and consistency of the company's large range of Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) products over decades. A trust the company didn't want to break at their Boksburg mayonnaise production facility which they thought needed more industrial IT muscle.


The Content Marketing Institute has just released its latest research into content marketing in manufacturing, and as always it's an interesting read. Being based in Birmingham and the Midlands, an area with a rich manufacturing heritage, and our involvement with festivals celebrating local industry, like Birmingham Made Me, means that the Ember team are always intrigued by the findings in this study.
Although the survey focuses on North America, there are still pointers we can use in the UK. Previous studies have shown that the US is ahead of the curve when it comes to content marketing. It's fair to say that the situation in the UK wouldn't be radically different and there are always lessons we can learn from our friends across the pond. Here are the headline findings.
Probably the most striking finding was that 12% of marketers said they were unable to track the ROI of their content marketing. For an industry where the business imperative is to produce products in the most efficient and cost-effective way, it's odd that ROI is not more imperative. This finding might explain why only 26% of manufacturing marketers considered their efforts to be effective compared to 38% of B2B marketers in other industries.
Obviously this is the statistic that stood out for us. 87% of marketers use video, with YouTube catching up with LinkedIn as the most used social media platform. We could see this figure rise next year as 66% agreed that the social video platform was more effective than LinkedIn.
It's easy to see why video can be so effective for manufacturing marketers, and in particular product marketers. Most sales conversations are based around what a product can do and what makes them different. The need for visuals is key, and video is a logical sales tool alongside product samples and showrooms.
Video can also play a role in exports. Buyers and suppliers from around the world can watch videos where they haven't been able to see the products before. Exports in the West Midlands have risen again despite a fall elsewhere in the UK, so investing in video could develop these international interests.
In person events are seen as the most effective marketing tactic (66%), nipping in ahead of video (65%). Out of the content options included in the question though, video was the only tactic that could be used in all the other options, including events, showing how robust and cost-effective it can be - a point we'll return to later in this blog.
Experience tells us that these are the two biggest challenges in content marketing generally. That said, there is no reason why manufacturing content doesn't have to be engaging, as content from machinery manufacturers Caterpillar demonstrates. The videos on their YouTube channel range from the beautiful and emotional to the informative and helpful.
They obviously have huge budgets and access to top creative talent, but I believe it's possible for any manufacturer to create content that delivers results. So, here are three suggestions on how to help ensure that manufacturing marketers produce engaging, effective content.
When you're developing the ideas and concept for your video content, identify who you want to watch it. Whether it's the technical product designers in the R&D department or buyers at an expo, the more specific you can be, the better.
It's also helpful if you can involve a member of the target audience in the pre-production and development meetings. The manufacturing industry is based on long-term working relationships, so use these and have an informal conversation with a regular customer. For example, if the target audience are electrical engineers working on location, they can advise on the information they want when they need to purchase a particular part. Feed this into the script and concept development.
Video content should be used to solve a defined communication problem, so there needs to be a clear set of goals from the start. What are you trying to achieve? To drive website traffic? Convert customers? Boost brand awareness? The goals could also be indirect, such as simply getting the audience to ask questions about their current arrangements or products. While your product video may not be watched by the Studio head at a company, it could be seen by one of the product designers who is provoked into asking "does our product do that?", and that's when an internal conversation around your idea is started.
Not being able to see how useful a content marketing strategy is usually caused by not having a defined set of metrics. Content data is getting easier to access, but that doesn't mean everyone has the skills to use it as a basis to inform decisions. It's worth getting a basic understanding of how analytics work. There are plenty of online resources, but a good starting point is the analytics bible Web Analytics 2.0: The Art of Online Accountability and the Science of Customer Centricity by Avinash Kaushik. He has a talent for explaining the world of data analysis in clear and accessible ways, and his passion is infectious. Highly recommended.
Before developing your video content, think about the different ways it could be used. Video content can be easily repurposed and played in different situations. For example, one product video could be used on a website landing page, shared on social media, shown on event stands and uploaded onto tablets for sales people to show at meetings. That's four ways of reaching your target audience from one video alone.
It's worth considering this when thinking about what to include in the video. If it's going to be shown at noisy events where sound is an issue, talking head interviews and voiceovers won't be useful. We had this in mind when we developed the product video for Systems Integration. They wanted to feature it on their website, but also at events and looped on the screens in their reception area. When using video in this way, motion graphics and featuring product demonstrations are more helpful. Well-chosen music can be used where hearing audio is less of a problem, like in an office or meeting room.


Cartier made significant improvements to its digital platforms in 2018 to shoot past Tiffany to take the top spot in the annual Digital IQ Index report for watch and jewelry brands. Tiffany previously held the top position for five consecutive years. Meanwhile, Bulgari also showed marked improvement to rise to number three in the annual survey, conducted by Gartner L2, a business intelligence and research firm that benchmarks the digital performance of consumer brands.
The 2019 survey released Tuesday, titled "Digital IQ Index Watches & Jewelry Global," measured the digital competence in 2018 of 83 watch and jewelry companies based on the digital presence and engagement of their websites and eCommerce platforms, digital marketing penetration, social media presence and mobile strategies. The companies are ranked in five categories: "Genius," "Gifted," "Average," "Challenged" and "Feeble." Cartier, Tiffany and Bulgari all earned the Genius ranking, achieving a minimum score of 140 points. It is the first time in the survey's nine years that three companies shared this ranking. Cartier's Digital IQ score improved by seven points, year-over-year, to reach 147 while Tiffany's score remained unchanged at 144. Bulgari's score moved from 134 in the 2018 survey to 141. It is the first LVMH brand to be named to the Genius category.
This is the first time the Digital IQ report included data from the United Kingdom, France and Germany (the three largest markets in the European Union) along with the United States, said Brian Lee, senior principal at Gartner L2, who added that the new market data did little to influence the overall results.
This year, the number brands included in the report increased to 83, from 70 a year ago, but Lee said the gap between the leading digital brands and those that are lagging is becoming so great they may reduce the number of participants.
While the Genius brands are enjoying strong digital growth, overall, watch and jewelry brands are lacking in many digital competencies, including some very basic ones in website design and functionality, eCommerce capabilities and basic search engine optimization and marketing strategies. Because of this eCommerce retailers, particularly in the resale and gray market categories, are winning the digital battles.
Search engine strategies is where e-retailers are excelling and where luxury brands are falling behind, the report says, even though it is the key driver of traffic to brand websites.
Lee acknowledges that it's difficult for brands to move resources and knowhow from their core business to the digital space. However, he says that basic SEO and SEM strategies can be done with minimal costs and manpower, and are highly effective in defending their space on search engines.
Many of the brands in the survey are owned by a handful of luxury conglomerates (Richemont, LVMH, Swatch Group and Kering). These holding companies are often trying to create overall digital strategies for their brands. Within this framework, it is Richemont and LVMH that are winning this battle while Swatch Group and Kering lag.
The Feeble category shrunk slightly from the prior year; however, there are many repeaters in this group. Generally, these brands have sites lacking basic functionality — frequently without eCommerce or user accounts and with poor social media presence. The bottom five in this group are: Fred Paris, Loren Stewart, Girard-Perregaux, Certina and at the bottom, De Grisogono.
* Focus on the basics by creating website that meet basic consumer needs and expectations through features that include geolocation, mobile-optimized check-out and live chat; and by integrating useful merchandising content for a cohesive customer experience.
* Invest in SEO and SEM Invest and website advertising.
3. Diversify social media marketing content across Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.
Gartner L2 produces Digital IQ reports for a number of industries and Lee says that when compared similar retail categories, like health and beauty, and fashion, watch and jewelry brands are well behind.


PARK CITY, Utah (AP) — In the ecosystem of who directs Hollywood's top-grossing films, women of color are the rarest kind.
But the 2019 Sundance Film Festival is proving to be a referendum on the dismal industry statistics . And the positive reception to and pricey acquisitions of films like Gurinder Chadha's "Blinded by the Light" (bought by New Line for million) and Nisha Ganatra's "Late Night" (Amazon purchased for million) is, at the very least, promising.
In the U.S. dramatic competition alone, where more than half of the 16 features included were directed by women, three films by women of color have stood out: Lulu Wang's "The Farewell," Minhal Baig's "Hala" and Chinonye Chukwu's "Clemency." Each was written by their director and offer boldly personal stories that have captivated critics, audiences and industry dealmakers.
"The Farewell," perhaps already one of the best known of the films that debuted at Sundance, is based on Wang's real-life experience when she and her Chinese-American family staged a fake wedding as an excuse to visit her terminally-ill grandmother in China, who was totally unaware of her prognosis. Awkwafina stars in the film, which was bought by A24 for million.
Wang, who had previously directed the well-received "Posthumous," took a somewhat roundabout approach to getting her "unconventional" film made.
She wrote it as a short story and submitted it to "This American Life," where it played and got the attention of a lot of producers. Big Beach Films, the shop behind "Little Miss Sunshine" decided to make it.
Baig, who also wrote a personal story based on her life as a Muslim teenager in America during a difficult time at home, had a similarly circuitous route to making "Hala." First she had to overcome the idea that she'd be satisfied in a more stable, creative-adjacent job as a development executive.
She tested the waters by making a crowd-funded short version of "Hala" and putting it online where the response was "incredible." With a proof of audience and a script that made it onto the 2016 Black List, an influential collection of unproduced scripts, she was then on the radar of executives and financiers.
With "Blockers" star Geraldine Viswanathan in the title role, "Hala" has been one of the breakouts of the festival. Apple purchased it for an undisclosed amount.
"Clemency" writer and director Chukwu also spent years trying to make her film about the psychological and emotional toll taken on a death row prison warden, played by Alfre Woodard. Following the execution of Troy Davis in 2011, Chukwu started a four-year process of deep research, including interviewing death row lawyers and former wardens, and even working as a volunteer in clemency cases and teaching in a woman's prison.
She found a supporter in producer Bronwyn Cornelius and they searched for funding for three years, encountering some reluctance because of the subject matter and Chukwu being a first-time director. "Clemency" has been widely praised at the festival, where some have declared that it will earn Woodard an Oscar nomination. It is still looking for distribution.
All are aware of the position they're in as filmmakers who happen to also be women and minorities at this moment in Hollywood, where despite all the attention, where they remain vastly underrepresented. Among the 1,200 top films of the past 12 years, female directors of color are in the single digits, according to USC Annenberg's Inclusion Initiative.
She hopes that aspiring filmmakers "embrace their uniqueness," admitting that it took her a long time to do that.


The EA Heavy Commercial Vehicle Driver Development Institute has been established by the Kenya Transporters Association through funding and support from USAID-COMPETE. The EA HCV Driver Development Institute provides additional and necessary competence to Heavy Commercial Vehicle Drivers in order to enhance road safety, enhance efficiency and reduce costs, promote driver discipline and professionalism.
EA HCV Driver Development Institute is envisioned to play a critical role in professionalizing the trucking industry in Kenya. Since no such school exists in the region, it is envisioned that the school will offer advanced driving lessons to new and experienced drivers in East Africa. The lessons will address issues that truck drivers have to deal with on a daily basis other than the technical aspects only. These will include road safety, defensive driving, vehicle maintenance, managing road rage, customer relations, among others.
It will set standards expected of truck and bus drivers. It will certify the drivers after intensive training using a simulator as well as practical field driving experiences. The certified drivers will be expected to attend an annual refresher course to maintain their certification and accreditation.

Q: Meager set and $\mathrm{MA}$ Martin's axiom. Let $\langle\mathbb P,\leq\rangle$ be a ccc partially ordered set. If $\mathcal D$ is a family of dense subset of $\mathbb P$ such that $|\mathcal D|<\mathfrak c$, then there exists a $\mathcal D$-generic filter $F$ in $\mathbb P.$ it is usually abbreviated by $\mathrm{MA}$. The following theorem is well known.
Theorem: If $\mathrm{MA}$ holds then a union of less than continuum many meager subsets of $\mathbb R$ is meager in $\mathbb R$.
So, it is clear that any subset of $\mathbb R$ with cardinality less than $\mathfrak c$ is meager.
My question is Can the theorem above be hold with a weaker set-theoretical assumption ? or we need the whole $\mathrm{MA}$ to prove it ?
Any help will be appreciated greatly.

A: Probably the simplest way to build a model in which MA fails but every union of $<\mathfrak c$ meager sets is meager is to start with a model of GCH and adjoin Hechler reals in a finite-support iteration of length $\aleph_2$.
A table of facts of this sort is in Section 11 of my chapter of the Handbook of Set Theory, a preprint of which is available at http://www.math.lsa.umich.edu/~ablass/hbk.pdf .
For a lot more information about MA (and weaker forms of MA), the standard reference is David Fremlin's book, "Consequences of Martin's Axiom".

What I believe.
Strategic advice and prevention of litigation
The best chain of shops or the largest banking network cannot excel in everything and everywhere. The same is true of law firms or consulting firms. My obsession with customer satisfaction, avoiding conflicts of interest and controlling costs, combined with the creativity and flexibility increasingly demanded of the business world, has led me to organise myself as a solution assembler. DELACOLLETTE srl is therefore a niche firm that mobilises the talents and energies of the best lawyers, experts in figures and strategic advisers in the best interests of the clients whose interests I defend and whose interests I sometimes also speak for.
Transfer of companies
I advise my clients in the areas of mergers and acquisitions, business transfers and access to capital markets. To do so, I mobilize, as needed, experts recognized in their field of excellence and build tailor-made multidisciplinary teams.
Negotiation of agreements
Litigation prevention
My experience as a company director and administrator within international groups that are leaders in their sector of activity has enabled me to develop my "bilingualism" as a simultaneous practitioner of the languages of business and law. This translates into strategic coaching and assistance in the negotiation of all business agreements. I am also sometimes asked to be a director or member of the supervisory board.

A synopsis of the story.
The basic plot is simple to tell.
A bandit lures a couple into a thick grove. He overpowers the husband (a samurai), ties him up, and rapes the wife in front of him. The husband is subsequently killed and the bandit is arrested. The husband's body is found by a woodcutter. The wife and the couple's horse disappears. Subsequently all involved in the events narrate their different and incompatible versions of the story.
The arrested bandit and the woodcutter give their testimonies before a High Police Commissioner. The wife re-appears in a temple to confess her version to a monk. Even the dead husband is called to give evidence through a medium. As the different versions of the events are heard it becomes clear that they are all incompatible and yet they have one point in common: all the characters , except the woodcutter, claim to have killed the husband. Even the husband claims to having killed himself.
