Hibs and Hearts have issued a joint statement after Wednesday's Edinburgh derby was marred by violence.
The fixture descended into chaos as Neil Lennon was hit by a coin and Jambos keeper Zdenek Zlamal was struck by a fan.
The sickening scenes were beamed across the world on BT Sport on a shameful night for Scottish football.
And now the Edinburgh clubs have declared they are "united in condemnation" over the incidents and vowed to work with Police Scotland to identify the culprits.

SPFL condemn chaotic Hearts and Hibs scenes - but are yet to reveal plan of action
The statement said: "Heart of Midlothian and Hibernian today issued a joint statement, having had time to reflect on the events of last night's Edinburgh Derby.
"The two clubs are united in their condemnation of the isolated events which marred an otherwise compelling fixture, and will together work with Police Scotland to ensure those individuals concerned are identified and face appropriate sanctions."
Jambos owner Ann Budge resolved to ensure those involved were banned and charged but urged caution over tarring the "thousands of genuine football fans" not involved with the same brush.
She also revealed that a post-match arrest was the result of supporters identifying culrpits.
She said: "The first thing I want to say is that we 100% condemn the handful of unsavoury incidents that took place during last night's Edinburgh Derby. We will work closely with Police Scotland and Hibernian to identify the individuals involved in these incidents to ensure they are banned from attending our two stadiums and are formally charged.
"While we condemn such behaviour, we must not fall into the trap of condemning the thousands of genuine football fans, who come to be entertained and who do nothing more than passionately support their respective teams.

"Of the 5 arrests made last night, 1 of them was made possible because fellow supporters identified the culprits. By working together in this manner we will succeed in removing the tiny percentage of fans, whose behaviour spoils things for the majority.
"Thank you to the thousands of supporters, from both teams, who created a fantastic atmosphere last night."
Hibernian chief-executive Leeann Dempster echoed her counterpart's sentiment and insisted the "great mutual respect" between the clubs would remain despite the disturbing clashes.
She said: "The two clubs are united. This kind of behaviour is simply not acceptable. We do everything we can to ensure that we run matches in a way that is safe for everyone involved. Players, coaches, supporters, the media, everyone who goes to a football match is entitled to enjoy the match in safety and security.

"We will not allow the mindless actions of a few foolish individuals to jeopardise that. We will learn any lessons that we can from this, but we would also call on supporters to play their part in helping us to identify those responsible for this kind of unacceptable and potentially dangerous behaviour.
"The two clubs work together in all kinds of ways, and there is great mutual respect. There is an intense sporting rivalry, and we all enjoy that and would not wish to dilute it, but it needs to be a respectful rivalry."
Meanwhile, in addition to the incidents involving Lennon and Zlamal, SFA chief Ian Maxwell confirmed that both assistant referees were on the receiving end of missile attacks during the match.
Maxwell commended both linesmen for their professionalism in seeing the game through to the end.

He said: "In addition to the well-documented incidents that saw Neil Lennon and Zdenek Zlamal left on the receiving end of cowardly attacks from the stands, I am sorry to confirm that two of our match officials were also struck by objects.
"Knowing the clubs involved as I do, I know no stone will be left unturned - in conjunction with the relevant authorities - to identify the individuals responsible and ensure the relevant steps are taken to leave them in no doubt that such actions will not be tolerated by Scottish football.
"Beyond that, we cannot accept that two assistant referees simply carrying out their duties are put in that position and I would like to commend their commitment and professionalism in seeing the game through to its conclusion."

Re: 2002 ranger suspension lifts?
I would advise staying away any lift that includes lifting the rear with shackles.
A rear shackle lift will cause the rear axle to have bad geometry and will also cause the axle to no longer be centered with the wheel wells.
Fabtech and many other suspension companies make lifts for your truck that will not cause poor suspension geometry.
You get what you pay for. Doing it right will cost you more than twice the amount than the first suggested lift kit.
But you will not be back on this forum complaining about your lift.
However it is your truck your project, what you will be happy with and accept may be much different than what I would want on my truck.
In the end you will be stuck with consequences of the modifications you choose to do.
Here is just one link of many where a shackle lift along with a rear spring lift that was not designed for the truck was used then later was regretted.

The Shea Countdown: 40-35
by Greg Prince on 4 April 2008 7:23 am
40: Tuesday, July 8 vs Giants
Ladies and gentlemen, as we welcome the team formerly known as the New York Baseball Giants into Shea Stadium, we are reminded of the links the Mets share with their forebear whose history is all too often overlooked when discussing the development of baseball as our national pastime and our Metropolitan passion. Look no further than the orange NY the Mets wear on their caps to understand that the road to Shea Stadium truly wound through the Polo Grounds, and that road began to take shape long before 1962. It dates to the 19th century and wraps around names like John McGraw, Christy Mathewson, Bill Terry, Carl Hubbell, Mel Ott and Monte Irvin to name just a few of the New York Giant greats.
Yes, the Mets and Giants, as the only two National League entries to explicitly represent the City of New York on a going basis, can be said to have sprouted from the same family tree. Yet it is just as true that they have grown apart over the years. Mets management looks forward to rectifying this historical oversight at Citi Field with the opening of the William A. Shea New York Mets Hall of Fame and National League Museum, an institution that will celebrate the rich heritage of the Mets, the Giants, the Dodgers, the Cubans, the Bushwicks, the Bridegrooms and almost every team that made a mark on Big Apple baseball. It will, in fact, be home to our own beloved Home Run Apple, on display forever more for fans to reach out and touch. It will stand as a symbol that where New York baseball heritage is concerned, the Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
That said, the New York Mets and the San Francisco Giants are clearly separate entities and their shared history is that of opponents. And at no time in the 46 seasons that they have played each other has their competition cut so close as it did in October of 2000, when the Mets played and defeated the Giants in the National League Division Series, going ahead and clinching those playoffs right here at Shea Stadium.
To recall that most memorable of Mets-Giants showdowns, we have the two standout players from eight autumns ago.
• An instant fan favorite, he inscribed his name into New York postseason baseball history with a 13th-inning home run that turned the tide in that series. It was one of many dramatic hits he collected in four seasons as a Met, but none was bigger. Please welcome the outfielder from Honolulu, Hawaii and the inspiration for Benny Bean coffee, Benny Agbayani.
• Joining Benny to peel number 40 from the right field wall was a solid, occasionally spectacular starting pitcher for the Mets for eight years, including an All-Star season in 1997. The game with which he is indelibly associated, however, is Game Four of the 2000 NLDS when he threw a one-hit shutout against the Giants and secured the Mets a berth in that year's league championship series. A pretty fair righthanded pitcher from Fresno, California in his own right, say hello to Bobby Jones.
39: Wednesday, July 9 vs Giants
A great tradition at Shea Stadium in its first two decades, ladies and gentlemen, was the annual celebration of Old Timers Day. As the Mets were too new for too many Old Timers of their own, it always gave the club great pleasure to welcome back great baseball stars of the past, no matter what uniform they wore in their previous lives. In that sense, no ballpark in America could claim a better appreciation of baseball history than Shea Stadium.
One of those Old Timers Days in particular was a very special occasion. On July 16, 1977, the Mets crowned their ceremonies with a salute to New York baseball royalty, the four centerfielders who defined the position in the city before the Mets were born. It was a breathtaking moment to watch these four men, legends all, enter the field of play through — where else? — the center field fence.
Two of those centerfielders, Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle, sadly are no longer with us. But two are and both grace us with their presence today to remove number 39 one position over, in right field. One was a Giant, one was a Dodger, both were Mets and both mean the world to millions of baseball fans. With them is the songwriter who was inspired by a photograph of their appearance that Saturday afternoon to compose a tribute that turned into one of baseball's most famous musical odes.
Ladies and gentlemen, give a great big Shea Stadium welcome as they enter once more through the centerfield fence to the Say Hey Kid, Willie Mays, the Duke of Flatbush, Duke Snider and the author of "Willie, Mickey and the Duke," Terry Cashman.
38: Thursday, July 10 vs Giants
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to this break in the action at Shea Stadium. There will be no additional fee should this game go into extra innings, but we will have to go a long way to match the bargain the fans at Shea Stadium received when the Mets and Giants matched up on May 31, 1964.
That was a Sunday and, as was the custom in those days, there was a doubleheader. One game ended. Another game began. And it continued. And continued. And continued some more.
Thirty-two innings of baseball were played at Shea that afternoon, evening and night, twenty-three of them in the second game. A day of baseball that began shortly after 1 P.M. ended at nearly 11:30. Another half-hour or so, and the Mets and Giants would have finished off May and played into June.
Needless to say, a lot of players saw action on May 31, 1964. We have several of them here today to remove number 38 from the right field wall.
The starter and winner for the San Francisco Giants in the opener, he's a Hall of Famer and has many friends and admirers here in New York. Ladies and gentlemen, the Dominican Dandy, Juan Marichal.
From the nightcap, the starter for the Mets, a pitcher who appeared in 62 games that season, setting a workload record that would stand for quite some time, Bill Wakefield.
An outfielder who hit .300 for the Mets in '64, his three-run homer in the seventh tied the score at six all and was the reason so many Sunday dinners went uneaten in the Metropolitan area that night. Say hi to Joe Christopher.
When a game goes long, plenty of pitchers take the ball, but usually one has to stay in and take one for the team. That job in this marathon went to the righty who gave manager Casey Stengel nine innings of relief. It was experience like this that helped make him such a valuable pitching coach in later years. Welcome home to Shea Stadium Galen Cisco.
If you think a day of baseball that lasts 32 innings can take it out of you, you're probably right. For one man who played that very long day, it would be his final day in the majors. Give a nice round of applause to one of the Mets' pitchers from the nightcap, an original Met, Craig Anderson.
And finally, as a bookend, we have another Hall of Fame pitcher, the winner in Game Two. He contributed ten innings in relief and though he might have had a little help from under the bill of his cap in settling matters that Sunday night, it was getting late and nobody complained. Please greet one of the greats of his time, Hall of Famer Gaylord Perry.
37: Friday, July 11 vs Rockies
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. We hope you're enjoying the opener of this final series before baseball's All-Star break. The National League squad this year will be managed by Rockies skipper and former Met Clint Hurdle and we wish Hondo luck in securing home field advantage for the senior circuit in the 2008 World Series, wherever it happens to be played.
The All-Star Game has always held a certain magical spell over fans, particularly the young ones who thrill to see, for one night, all the greats of the game on the same field, especially the players from his or her favorite team on such a big stage.
To remove number 37 from the right field wall, we've assembled a galaxy made up of some of the All-Stars who have represented the Mets through the years. Joining us tonight:
• Twice the Mets' representative at midsummer classics, he rejoins the Mets payroll in 2011: Bobby Bonilla.
• Ten wins by the Fourth of July made him too good for Tommy Lasorda to ignore, welcome back 1978 National League All-Star Pat Zachry.
• He was the last Met to win 20 games in one season and, en route to that total, was called on to join the N.L. stars in Wrigley Field. Say hi to 1990 Mets All-Star, Long Island's own Frank Viola.
• A two-time Cy Young winner in the American League, he came to the Mets and demonstrated some of the best control the game had ever seen in 1994, winning 14 while walking only 13. No wonder he was an All-Star that season, Bret Saberhagen.
• He is co-holder of the Met record for most home runs in a single season and was named to the National League All-Star team in 1996 and again in 1997. One of the most popular Mets of the '90s, give a warm welcome to Todd Hundley.
• And closing out our All-Star salute is one of the great closers in Mets history. Best known for closing out the last Mets world championship, he held onto his glove in the 1983 and 1984 midsummer classics. Let's hear it for the southpaw who pitched forever. Ladies and gentlemen, Jesse Orosco.
36: Saturday, July 12 vs Rockies
Greetings, ladies and gentlemen, on this late Saturday afternoon, scheduled as it was to accommodate our friends at Fox television. Because the Mets and Rockies are their Game of the Week, we are able to welcome back to Shea an announcer who honed his craft and became one of the best in the business during his sixteen years as a Mets broadcaster, a tenure highlighted by his work during the 1986 championship run.
A popular voice in New York and eventually everywhere — you might even say that oh baby, they love him — we have asked Tim McCarver to step out of the Ralph Kiner Television Booth for a few moments to remove number 36 from the right field wall. And to accompany him, we have three of his fellow announcers from that golden era of Mets baseball:
• He was Tim's and Ralph's partner in the Channel 9 booth from 1983 to 1989 and described the last out of the '86 division-clincher. Give a warm Shea Stadium welcome to Steve Zabriskie.
• He called one thrilling moment after another from the WHN radio booth alongside Bob Murphy in 1986 and later worked with Timmy on TV. One of the most recognizable voices in all of sportscasting, Gary Thorne.
• And a longtime colleague of Tim's who became known to Mets fans over SportsChannel, Fox Sports New York and MSG. Won't you make Shea Stadium rock one more time for Fran Healy?
35: Sunday, July 13 vs Rockies
It was 31 years ago this evening, ladies and gentlemen, that New York experienced a night like no other in modern times, a night literally and figuratively darker than any other. It was the night of the 1977 blackout and, wouldn't you know it, it plunged Shea Stadium into darkness smack in the middle of a game between the Mets and the Cubs.
To commemorate that most unusual event in Shea Stadium history, we've gathered some eyewitnesses…well, they'd have been eyewitnesses if they could have seen what was going on.
From the Mets bullpen, he was as in the dark as anyone else a little after nine o'clock that night, but his pitching always brought a little light to the situation. A terrific reliever and longtime member of the Mets organization, he helped engineer the Colorado Rockies' amazing pennant drive last season as their pitching coach, please give a warm hand to Bob Apodaca.
Umpiring from behind home plate and with no choice but to suspend the game after an hour-and-a-half when it became obvious the lights were not coming back on anytime soon, say hi to longtime National League ump Harry Wendlestedt.
On the mound and in his windup in the bottom of the sixth, he actually completed the July 13 game when the action was picked up again in September. Talk about a complete game: he went nine innings over two months! The Chicago Cubs' pitcher on the night of the great blackout of 1977 and a future Met, Ray Burris.
And leading our contingent of blackout veterans to the rightfield wall in broad daylight to peel number 35 from the wall, he was the Mets third baseman enjoying a banner season in '77 but had the misfortune of being at the plate when Shea went dark. His thoughts, he later related, were, "God, I'm gone. I thought for sure He was calling me. I thought it was my last at-bat." Obviously, he had some more at-bats and plenty of life left. Please welcome home to Shea Stadium, Lenny Randle.
Numbers 46-41 were revealed here.

Well. I was wrong…I figured you'd bring Willie out for some convoluted ceremony where he removes 24 from the wall and then takes it over and adds it to the other numbers (41 etc…can't bring myself to list the other ones that shouldn't be there). So you did it the right way and brought him back on a day when his team, the San Fransisco Giants are playing. Appropriate.
I was so thrilled to see Benny and Bobby Jones… and Wed/Thurs…. good stuff!! Then I got more and more deflated as I continued to read on.
This should have been the April Fool's post. Ugh. I'll be sure to arrive late on Friday and Saturday.
Bonilla?! C'mon, now Greg. The only way Met fans would be excited over that is if an announcement was made, "please fans, join us after the game outside of the Press Gate with Mr Bonilla, where we can all 'show him the Bronx'".
And Healy and McCarver… oof. There was a post a ways back where you or Jason got it right, something along the lines of "at an 86 reunion, fans wouldn't particularly be happy to see McCarver, but they could understand why he was there. Fran Healy, on the other hand, shouldn't be welcomed back under any circumstances." Though I do admit, I love watching Mets Classics and hearing Fran. Now that he's no longer part of the family, I can laugh at how bad he is instead of cry. In fact every so often at work, myself and 2 others will start a Fran Healy catchphrase email chain when we need a laugh.
I suppose maybe I would cheer Fran at Shea. Not for his announcing skills, but for eventually drilling in my brain loads of unintentional comedy. "GOT 'EEMMMMM!"
Actually, I'm the one who locked Fran Healy out of the hypothetical '86 reunion. What can I tell ya, time heals (or Healys) all wounds.
McCarver is insufferable in his current incarnation but he won me back at least in terms of the old Tim when he and Ralph teamed briefly last season.
Bonilla? He's gonna get paid by the Mets well past his 70th birthday. He might as well start earning it.
Kevin, don't forget Fran always reminding us that the Mets will be playing "those Munchreal Expos."
And my catchphrase for years was "SHUT UP, FRAN." How did we ever get lumbered with him, anyway?
"So come on down and see the Mets play those Munchreal Expos! For tickets you can buy em Shea, any of the Mets Clubhouse Stores, or just go to METS… dot-caaaaaaaaahm"
*sob*
Great idea honoring those who played in that 23 inning game against the Giants.
The Amazins' actually came back from a six run deficit, capped by Christopher's three-run shot in the seventh. The only reason it went past 15 was because Met shortstop Roy McMillian snared Willie McCovey's line drive and turned it into a triple play. The play saved Galen Cisco for a while but he eventually went on to lose it in the 23rd.
Two off the field occurances stick in my memory. One was seeing Ralph Kiner sitting in the studio doing nothing and getting taunted by Bob Murphy and Lindsay Nelson while they continued working and the other was the newspaper headline I think written by Barney Kremenko "Well, you don't beat our guys easy".

Biografia
Nato nel New Jersey da genitori ebrei immigrati dall'Europa, dopo il servizio militare nell'esercito Lautenberg studiò economia alla Columbia University.

Dal 1952 al 1982 fu presidente e amministratore delegato della Automatic Data Processing, Inc. e lasciò il posto per candidarsi al Senato come membro del Partito Democratico. Il suo avversario Partito Repubblicano fu la popolare deputata Millicent Fenwick, che Lautenberg riuscì a sconfiggere di misura.

Lautenberg venne rieletto nel 1988 e nel 1994, ma nel 2000 annunciò il suo ritiro e venne succeduto da Jon Corzine. Poco più di un anno dopo, l'altro senatore del New Jersey, il democratico Robert Torricelli, venne coinvolto in uno scandalo riguardante dei finanziamenti illeciti proprio nel periodo della sua campagna elettorale. Torricelli fu costretto a ritirarsi e il Partito Democratico chiese a Lautenberg di prendere il suo posto nella competizione elettorale. Lautenberg accettò e sconfisse ampiamente l'avversario repubblicano, tornando al Senato. Fu poi riconfermato dagli elettori anche nel 2008.

Lautenberg è uno dei senatori più liberali, soprattutto sui temi sociali come l'aborto e l'omosessualità.

Dal primo matrimonio con Lois Levenson, Lautenberg ha avuto quattro figli; dopo trentuno anni i due divorziarono e Lautenberg intraprese una relazione con Bonnie Englebardt, che sposò nel 2004 dopo sedici anni di frequentazione.

The child-parent bond is a crucial one, a connection that when positive and strong, can have long lasting, beneficial effects on the child's life.
But so many kids are missing that connection. And without it, they are at risk of leading lives with multiple detrimental challenges.
Kids like Aaron, whose father has cancer. When not going to medical appointments, he's asleep.
He simply doesn't have enough energy to spend time with him.
Kids like Shlomo, whose parents are divorced. His mother, raising her children alone, works two jobs so she can support them all.
She's rarely home and rarely sees them.
Kids like Sara, whose mother passed away several years ago. Severely depressed, her father hasn't been the same, since and either keeps his distance or bursts out in anger.
Life at home is difficult and unpleasant.
For these kids and countless others, each with their own painful situation, there's a void-an empty spot in their lives where the lack of a parent is felt so strongly. While their friends have someone to learn with, someone to take them shopping for a new pair of shoes, or just someone to talk to about their day, these kids have no one.
Yad Eliezer's Big Brothers and Big Sisters in Israel help fill the void in the lives of over 3500 Israeli boys and girls like these. They are there to assist with studies and learning during the school year but they will also be found hosting kids at their homes on Shabbat and holidays, filling in for missing dads at Bar Mitzvahs and providing a listening ear whenever it's needed.
It's because of your support that they can support these kids, all year long.
About 4,000 mentors are changing lives through this program.

Erin Mussolum
Hates loaning Rob her spare sleeping bag. Often forgets her chips.
If Erin had to define herself, it would be as a 'rustic glamper'. She loves her plaid shirts and campfire cooking, but definitely demands a good inflatable mattress and a bit of decorative bling adorning her tent.
Erin has been actively working in the film and television industry for over 20 years – from running her own award-winning documentary production company to producing and developing for many of the top television and radio companies in Vancouver. Her work has been seen on national outlets such as CBC, Bravo!, CTV, Vision TV, Global, Knowledge Network, Corus and PBS.
With a unique career history that has straddled both content production and communications, Erin knows first-hand the importance of not only creating award-winning content but also communicating that content in an effective way. A nerd for project management, and seeing projects delivered on time and on budget she won't stop until a project is successful and has a blast doing them.
She is currently the Co-Executive Director of Vancouver's award-winning film program Crazy8s and president Chickadee Creative a marketing and communications company specializing in film and television industry.
Erin regularly escapes to the great outdoors to breath in the tall trees and rushing streams that make up her home in the Pacific Northwest.
Always forgets his sleeping bag.
Robert Hardy loves to camp. But, he's not the most organized man in the world. While he's the dude who shows up with three Rubbermaid bins full of campstoves, propane trees and card games ready to roll out, he's also the guy who forgets his sleeping bag, half the groceries in the fridge, and extra batteries for the bluetooth speaker.
When he's not trying to figure out where he left his fold up chair, Rob works as a Vancouver-based television writer, creative producer and executive. He's been involved in creating and making shows for everyone from History Channel, Discovery and the Oprah Winfrey Network to CBC, CTV, Global and APTN.
Before all that, Rob built an award-winning career in marketing, advertising and strategic communications. He's helped create and enhance national brands and live events, conceive major promotions campaigns and even leveraged brand partnerships to help launch one of the world's first web series, and Canada's first online film festival.


An "expert" analyst stayed with the CIA to prove that Islam was a religion of peace!
"Does the "U.S. Pentagon" know what is in this Koran?
You will be disturbed by what is in a translation of the Koran that is available to U.S. military personnel.
There are some interesting connections between Islam and the Ku Klux Klan.
"Holy War" is not an Islamic Term?
Do Ahmadi Muslims Really Speak for Islam?
What are Muslim-American children being taught?
Does Islam get special treatment in Eastern Iowa schools?


I am honestly very happy. I opened the letters around 11pm last night and I started screaming and jumping in my bed. My fiancé asked me, " What the hell is wrong with you?" LOL!!! He was upset because I startled him. OMG and his reaction jumping out of bed was hilarious but I didn't care!!! LMBO…. You just don't know Angelica I am so happy right now.

Miami Dade, Intel Teaming on AI Workforce
Miami Dade College (MDC) in Miami, Fla., is teaming up with technology giant Intel Corporation on a program that aims to provide cutting-edge education on artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to for the coming generation of techies, engineers, and inventors.
The Intel AI for Workforce Program – which features technology support from Dell Technologies – offers a wealth of AI education and training that is leading to the development of related credit and degree programs by MDC.
For its part, Intel is providing more than 225 hours of AI content. That contribution includes courses on data collection, computer vision, AI model training, coding, and instruction on ethics and societal impact of AI tech. Intel is also offering professional training for MDC faculty, and implementation guidance.
So far, two members of the MDC faculty have completed AI for Workforce training, with three more faculty members in the pipeline. MDC is using the content to create what it calls a "stackable credential pathway" in applied AI that will include a college credit certificate, Associate's in Science, and Bachelor's in Science.
MDC will offer begin to offer applied AI classes for community members this fall at its new AI Center.
"The AI for Workforce Program provides a pathway for meeting the growing demand for a wide range of AI skillsets," said Dr. George Gabb, lead faculty for AI programs at MDC. "It takes students from awareness to experience and completing a practical training," he said, adding, "Intel curriculum's objective and flexibility makes it a great match for MDC and our students."
"We are excited to partner with Intel to expand AI education in South Florida, and continue serving the community as a bridge to high paying jobs and in-demand tech careers," commented MDC President Madeline Pumariega.
"In partnership with Miami Dade College and Dell Technologies, we are committed to the re-skilling of the American workforce and to advancing diversity and inclusion to ensure that the next generation of technologists are prepared and provided opportunities for AI education," said Michelle Johnston Holthaus, Intel executive vice president and general manager of the company's Client Computing Group.

Using live video to build your audience is not just a trend, it's a social media phenomenon that has consistently grown in popularity and user-base since it first launched in early 2015. Less than 2 years later, social media users now spend 3x more time watching live video than regular content.
People love live video because they get to see you in real time, ask you questions, and see how you respond. In fact, 80% of consumers have said they would rather watch live video from a brand than read a blog.
In a world of bots and pre-recorded videos and webinars people want to see a real person, they want to interact with a real person and they want to connect with a real person. Live video gives people just that.
You still need to prepare for a live video stream just as you would for a pre-recorded video but there's no editing and no time to prepare an answer if you're asked a question.
Scared? Don't be! It's really not that bad. When people follow you and watch your live videos they want you to succeed and they remember that you are human.
As an expert in your field, you will be able to anticipate the questions your audience will ask and have notes ready, but what people are really looking for is a raw, in the moment, representation of the person they are investing their time, energy and money in.
Don't be afraid to say you need to look something up or that the answer is long and ask the person to email you instead. What people don't want is scripted, fake, and wrong information, so be yourself and be open and honest.
Pro Tip: Post a notice on your profile in advance of your live Q&A and ask people to submit questions or topics ahead of time.
Use live video to announce the contest or giveaway, layout the rules and encourage people to enter and share.
Pro Tip: Launch your contest with a Live Video as well, and use clues or hints in the video that gives live viewers extra chances to win!
Depending on the platform you use (YouTube Live, Facebook Live, Instagram Stories) you can either have someone take over your page live stream, join from their own computer or be in person with you for the broadcast.
You then encourage people to ask questions in the comments or have a full live interview. Or even ask the guest to teach on a topic of interest to your audience as a guest expert.
Pro Tip: Investigate 3rd party software to make split-screen broadcasts easier to facilitate.
If you have a new program, event or physical products to share with your followers, you can use a live video stream to show off the new products either by showing physical items or by using a program to share your screen with your audience.
This is great for over the shoulder demonstrations, showing how a product looks on a person, the packaging, and so much more. 92% of shoppers say visuals are the most influential factor affecting purchase decisions. Consumers love seeing things in real time even if they don't want to go to a physical store so live video is the next best thing. Next stop – smell-o-vision!
Pro Tip: Make sure you have a good camera and good lighting to show the best aspects of your products!
Having an auction for charity? An end of year clearance sale? A one time flash sale?
Use live video to host a day-long event, have multiple speakers to auction off items or give testimonials on products. Hey, throw in some giveaways of discounts, pens, and other branded items and make it an event of its own.
People will come and go and you may want to break it up to have lunch breaks but it would certainly make an impression with your social media audience to be able to participate virtually.
Planning a new event, launching a new venture, opening the doors on a previously closed program?
Counting down to closing the doors on early bird gifts or a limited space program?
Pro Tip: Enhance a reminder email by going live on Facebook to remind people to take advantage of your offer before they miss out.
If you are hosting a workshop or event, provide your social followers a sneak peak. Live broadcast the intro of a presentation, show people working in groups, talk into the camera while people talk and buzz behind you.
Throughout the event, gather a group of people together and ask them for something they learned so far at the event. Tease your online audience so they will want to be there next time you run the event.
Pro Tip: Don't forget to download your videos after you post them live so you can use them in promotional material for the next event!
Webinars are a popular form of live video, but they can be limited by access to software.
A live stream on Facebook or YouTube can provide a similar experience for your viewers, in which you can give them a nugget of information, an actionable tidbit or do a bit longer of a training session.
Now that you can live stream directly from your computer rather than just your cell phone there's no excuse! Facebook and YouTube save your video to your profile so it will be there for others to see after and offering something helpful and interesting will build your audience even after the live video stream has ended.
Pro Tip: Schedule your LIVE training session in a Facebook Event that people can RSVP to so they are sure to tune-in at the right time.
Don't let live video intimidate you – embrace the opportunity to really connect with your audience.
Live video is the best way to build your audience and really deepen your relationship with them so they know they can trust you and therefore will be willing to purchase from you.
If you need help planning your videos and promotions, Teach Me Social offers training and support for all your social media needs! Click HERE to book a complimentary consultation today.

I follow several Powell River friends online. One day there was mention of a book about horses, one of my favourite subjects. As a young girl in the suburbs of Los Angeles, I dreamed of having a horse of my own. My dad helped by taking me riding at a nearby stable on the Los Angeles River, which at the time was not the cement channel it is today. I always rode Flash, but I think his name was more of a joke than a description of his fleet footedness.
When we came to Powell River, I saw a brochure offering trail rides at Tanglewood Farms. I've never completed my desire to check it out, but when I learned that the owner Phoebe Kingscote's mother Barbara wrote a memoir of a riding adventure from the early 1950s, I had to get it.
Barbara Kingscote grew up in Quebec in the 1940s. She too had a love of horses. Working on a small subsistence farm, she gained the experienced needed to apply for veterinary college. In 1949 when she was twenty years old, the owners of the farm moved to the West Coast, but couldn't take their horse Zazy. The solution? Barbara would ride the black mare all the way from Montreal to their new home in Lytton, British Columbia. But just prior to departure, Charlie, the owner, gave the mare to Barbara to be her own.
Ride the Rising Wind: One Woman's Journey Across Canada (NeWest Press, 2006) is Barbara and Zazy's story of the massive undertaking spanning sixteen months and over four thousand miles. Barbara left with minimal supplies lashed to Zazy's saddle and $100 in her pocket. She stopped along the way at logging camps, farms and towns to intercept mail, buy meager supplies for herself and her horse, and enjoy the company of generous Canadians all along the way.
When she wasn't offered a loft or bedroom, the intrepid pair slept under the stars or a tarp in pouring rain. Their winter was spent working in the cookhouse at a logging camp. That was a story in itself. But come spring, the two were back on the road.
To take such a journey today seems impossible. The roads are more like freeways, the traffic even more congested. Towns and logging camps along the way no longer depend on horses, so support would be minimal. That's one reason Barbara's story is so compelling. Horse people dream of such adventures and opportunities. The closest I ever came was riding in the Chilko Lake area helping a dude ranch hand with the horses.


Inspection kit is a single use item. When someone uses the Inspection Kit on another player, they can see if the player is infected or not. Only the user will see the result.
When someone uses the inspection kit, NEVER trust it in the first sight. it might be the infected who used it.
You can use the inspection kit as an Infected to make others trust the other Infected too.
When someone wants to use the Inspection Kit on you, you should stay and don't run. Running gives away that you are surely infected, while staying still can make others think that you aren't infected.
Use the inspection kit anyway, even if you don't suspect someone is infected.

No queues at Plymouth's main vaccination centre on booster campaign day one
It comes after the target for giving every adult in England a booster jab was brought forward by a month over fears of a "tidal wave of Omicron" that could cause "very many deaths"
Alex GreenReporter
Home Park - the home of Plymouth Argyle and one of the city's vaccination centres - was devoid of queues today, the morning after Boris Johnson made the announcement that the booster programme would be ramped up to tackle the Omicron variant.
A steady stream of people appeared to be making their way from their cars to the entrance of the vaccination centre this morning, but there were no lengthy queues.
Of course, the number of people attending is likely to pick up as more and more people become eligible for their booster jab from Wednesday, with all those over the age of 18 being invited to book in or drop in for their booster vaccine from Wednesday, 15 December.

It comes after the target for giving every adult in England a booster jab was brought forward by a month over fears of a "tidal wave of Omicron" that could cause "very many deaths".
Boris Johnson, in a pre-recorded address to the nation on Sunday evening, said Britain "must urgently reinforce our wall of vaccine protection" as he set a new deadline of jabbing everyone over 18 by the new year.
He said scientists had discovered that being fully vaccinated is "simply not enough" to prevent the spread of the coronavirus mutation and that, without a lightning speed mass booster campaign, the NHS could be overwhelmed.
The mission to administer millions more jabs by December 31 will see 42 military planning teams deployed across every health region.
Extra vaccine sites will be opened and additional mobile units deployed, clinic opening hours are to be extended to allow people to be jabbed around the clock and at weekends, while thousands more will be trained.
The announcement comes as the UK Covid alert level was raised to Level 4, up from Level 3, following a rapid increase in the number of Omicron cases being recorded.

The recommendation was made to ministers by the country's four chief medical officers and NHS England's national medical director following advice from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA).
The UK, as of Sunday, recorded a further 1,239 confirmed cases of the Omicron mutation, bringing the total number of cases to 3,137 – a 65% increase from Saturday's total of 1,898.

My Life without my Dad - .
"Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring." I answer it.
"Hello, can I speak to Ariana." It was my dad.
"Hi!" I said. It made me smile from ear to ear to talk to my dad.
Until he said, "I'm in jail." Beeeeeeeeeep.
I dropped the phone. I came to my room and sat in the corner with tears down my face.
"What's wrong?" asked my mom.
"It will be ok.," said mom, but there was an angry tone in her voice. She tried not to show she was mad and angry, but I know she was angry at my father. Whenever my dad gets me upset, my mom's face turns reddish and a little orangish. She looks like the sun. Days went by. I was not longer crying, but on the inside, I was angry and furious. I would not talk to anyone for three weeks. It was always a rainy day on the inside because I felt like my heart was broken. I had the blues. I kept asking myself why does this keep happening? He has missed out on so much of my life. I did not want him missing out on anymore of my life and my future. I didn't want him missing out on all the stuff that I could do.
He had already missed so much. Like when he missed my moving up ceremony in first grade. I was crying inside because he was not there. I thought that my dad did not LOVE ME anymore because he missed my first grade moving up. He came up to me and said, "sorry".
I said, "It's ok Daddy." I was only seven when that happened. Now I'm thirteen and I know not to forgive him.
I was sitting down on the couch watching TV when the house phone rang. It was my dad, "Hello," he said. "Hello," he said again. My head was going crazy. I kept asking myself, should I say something? Should I just hang up the phone? I didn't and I felt ok that I didn't because I felt that I should not listen to someone who had broken my heart or someone who was supposed to be a hero to me. It was not fair to me. But then again, that was my father, and I didn't want to disrespect him, so I just called my sister and told her to say I was asleep. We go through the same routine each time he calls.
I may sound like I don't love him, don't get me wrong. I do love my father. But the thing he's done to me in my life, I would not forget it. Like not coming to see me in the first grade and other things a father should do.
The thing that gets me more upset was that he does not say sorry or his actions. I didn't want to hear it on the phone. I wanted it in person. He should have been there for me through my ups and downs.

Pianoboy
Choose event
from 0.00 EUR
Why is it worth going to Pianoboy concert?
1. The pianoboy sounds magical!
2. The exclusive program includes the best compositions by Dmitry Shurov.
3. The concert will be accompanied by a spectacular light show.
Stunning PianoBoy will give a grand concert in your city! Do not miss a unique event!
Ukrainian independent artists of the new wave rarely perform in such a pretentious hall as the "Palace of Ukraine", but PianoBoy - a special talent, pushing the framework and breaking stereotypes. His amazingly powerful musical and energetic concerts are enjoyed not only by young people, but also by an older listener.
"Pianoboy is a bridge between generations," says Dmitry Shurov. - Despite the fact that at our concerts under the stage students and students are always hanging out, their parents are sitting in the hall. Our listener is very advanced, with fresh thinking and excellent taste in music. I am more confident in my public than in myself. They will understand that just such a big stage as in the "Palace of Ukraine" will give us an opportunity to translate all our ambitious plans for light and show. What stereotypes we did not break, let's move this one too - that in this room only folk and well deserved perform! "
The program of the concert includes new songs, new musicians, a new Shurov, for whom there are no borders or boundaries. He puts before his team more and more sophisticated tasks - each of them plays several instruments and sings, and now they are still dancing! Concert shows Pianoboy are famous for a special atmosphere - not only thanks to the subtle compositional talent and ability to surprise the audience with something new every time. But also thanks to the unique mass flash mobs that pianofamily arranges - the fan base of the artist, an intelligent but numerous, active and modern youth party, a "family", whose members live in all corners of the country.
Dmitry promises that the "Palace of Ukraine" on this day will become a home for both them and for musicians. He is going to turn it into his piano-planet, on which the newest concert technologies will be able to get along with the analog musical soul, which is so much in his songs. The band is preparing an unexpected experimental show. This evening promises to become one of the indicators of the inevitable transformation of Ukrainian music, the challenge of the present and the new - the Soviet-era pop-music that is becoming obsolete. It is no accident that the concert is scheduled for November 17 - Youth Day: "The Palace of Ukraine" will for the first time sound like a chorus of young hearts and for some time will be the hottest point on the planet.

«Эпизод с футболом» () — девятый эпизод третьего сезона американского комедийного телесериала «Друзья», впервые транслировался на NBC 21 ноября 1996 года.

Выпуск посвящён Дню Благодарения. Росс и Моника вспоминают о семейном турнире двенадцатилетней давности. Друзья решают сыграть в футбол на открытом воздухе. Все усложняется соперничеством Геллеров, неумением Рэйчел играть и борьбой Джоуи и Чендлера за голландку.

Премьеру эпизода просмотрело 29 миллионов телезрителей. Серия помещена на 104-е место среди всех 236-ти эпизодов телесериала.

Сюжет
Девчонки готовят ужин на День Благодарения, а парни смотрят футбол по телевизору. Джоуи предлагает сыграть в футбол в парке. Рэйчел и Фиби считают, что это отличная идея, хотя никто из них никогда не играл в футбол раньше. Поначалу Чендлер отказывается, так как он все еще расстроен расставанием с Дженис, но Джоуи его уговаривает.

Моника и Росс поначалу тоже отказываются, так как их родители в детстве запретили им играть в футбол. Раньше они каждый год участвовали в семейном футбольном турнире за обладание «Кубка Геллеров» (). Во время VI-го турнира Моника сломала Россу нос, спровоцировав свою дисквалификацию. После чего, их отец бросил «кубок» в озеро, а мать запретила играть в футбол. Моника считает, что они уже выросли и могут сыграть.

На местной спортивной площадке друзья делятся на команды: Моника и Росс называют себя капитанами. Моника выбирает Джоуи и Фиби; Росс выбирает Чендлера и оставшуюся Рэйчел. Рэйчел не умеет играть и Росс всегда отправляет её на дальнюю базу. Соперничество Геллеров не заставило себя долго ждать, и они играют ожесточённо.

Во время перерыва Моника рассказывает, что она выловила «Кубок Геллеров» из озера (это кукла-тролль, прибитая к игрушечному кубику). Она предлагает трофей в качестве награды. Росс, спровоцированный Моникой, меняет Рэйчел на Джоуи и теперь это противостояние парней против девушек. Девчонки используют самые отчаянные способы выиграть.

Во время игры Джоуи и Чендлер знакомятся с симпатичной туристкой — голландка по имени Марха. Чендлер решает забыть о Дженис и приударить за Мархой. Джоуи уступает её, что очень злит Чендлера: он пытается доказать, что сам имеет равные шансы на внимание девушек. Парни начинают строить пакости друг другу в игре, борясь за её внимание. В итоге, Росс, уставший от этой борьбы, просит Марху выбрать одного из его друзей. Она выбирает Чендлера после того, как выясняется, что Джоуи не знает, откуда родом голландцы, но отменяет свой выбор, когда Чендлер начинает злорадствовать.

Во время последнего тайма, Моника бросает мяч Рэйчел и та его ловит. Ещё до звонка таймера Рэйчел от радости бросает мяч и начинает ликовать. Когда все понимают, что мяч всё ещё находится в игре, Моника и Росс бросаются за мячом. Остальные ребята отпускают мяч и уходят домой за ужином. Геллеры продолжают лежать на поле до ночи, борясь за мяч.

В конце концов, Моника и Росс решают выкинуть кубок в мусор. После того, как Росс уходит, Моника кричит Фиби в мусоропровод — та поймала его внизу специально для Моники.

В оригинальном вещании США данный эпизод просмотрело 29,3 млн телезрителей, что делает его третьим по популярности (после 11 и 12-й серий, «Эпизод, где Чендлер не помнит, какая сестра» и «Эпизод со всей ревностью» соответственно) эпизодом третьего сезона. GamesRadar поместил эпизод на 24-е место, а Digital Spy на 104 место в рейтинге всех 236 серий «Друзей».

Многие зрители и критики заметили, что акцент Мархи совсем не похож на голландский акцент (скорее, на русский). Во время кастинга Сюзанна Миднайт изобразила восточно-европейский акцент. Позже вся съемочная команда была удивлена, что это не настоящий акцент и, что Сюзанна американка.

Q: Output of layer in CNN with equal dim of feature I read a bit about autoencoders and read that encoder transform data from $\mathbb{R}^{N \times D} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{N\times d}$$ space.
I wrote CNN autoencoder with for example one layer like this:
  self.conv1 = nn.Conv2d(1, 1, 5)

but when I apply x = F.relu(self.conv1(x)) of course I get an image with smaller dimensions (if I had the dimension torch.Size([1, 400, 1024]) at the beginning)
after the operation I have torch.Size([1, 396, 1020]).
It is clear that convolution reduces the dimension of the image (that's all clear :) ), but I'm interested in whether there is a way to keep the number of features and then fill the others with zeros, and if that would be a step in the right direction, the question arises as to which features to fill with zeros .
P.S. I use only one channel because I want the final result to be in a 2d matrix, and my images are gray scale anyway.

A: I think you need to add a padding='same' option
self.conv1 = nn.Conv2d(1, 1, 5, padding='same')

This is the usual way of ensuring output dimensions don't get shrunk
when applying convolutional layers. It pads the original image before
applying the convolution, by default with zeros, rather than padding the result.
(If this were Tensorflow I would be certain, but it looks like torch works
the same way. https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/generated/torch.nn.Conv2d.html)

Andrea Mitchell Decries Arkansas Passing 'Most Restrictive Abortion Legislation in Decades'
By Kyle Drennen | March 7, 2013 5:16 PM EST
On her Thursday 1 p.m. ET hour show on MSNBC, host Andrea Mitchell denounced a newly passed law in Arkansas preventing abortions after 12 weeks: "We're talking about the most restrictive abortion legislation in decades. Most people do not think it will pass court test muster..." [Listen to the audio or watch the video after the jump]
She lamented to Time magazine's Nancy Gibbs: "We're still debating whether or not in the first trimester there should be the right to abortion, all these years after Roe v. Wade." Gibbs joined in the hand-wringing: "There are a growing number of states where there are simply no abortion providers available or there's only one in the entire state, or the restrictions have become so great that effectively there is no availability of abortion....This is just the latest of what has been a pretty steady stream of state level efforts to roll back that access."
NBC and CBS similarly hyped the law as the "most restrictive abortion law in the country."
Here is a transcript of the brief March 7 exchange:
1:40PM ET
ANDREA MITCHELL: I wanted to also raise the issue of this Arkansas legislation now. We're talking about the most restrictive abortion legislation in decades. Most people do not think it will pass court test muster, but what about that, Nancy Gibbs? We're still debating whether or not in the first trimester there should be the right to abortion, all these years after Roe v. Wade.
NANCY GIBBS [DEPUTY MANAGING EDITOR, TIME]: But we're seeing this in more and more states, Andrea. So much of the fight over abortion is now being fought state by state, regardless of what happens at the national level. There are a growing number of states where there are simply no abortion providers available or there's only one in the entire state, or the restrictions have become so great that effectively there is no availability of abortion. So when we talk about the laws, there are many things that are blocking access to abortion besides the actual laws being passed. This is just the latest of what has been a pretty steady stream of state level efforts to roll back that access.

Q: how do i tell heroku what version of php i am using? I attempted to follow the help pages will no luck.
this message appears to default to a version of php of its choosing then chastises me for picking an out of date version.
I am using php version 7.0.29 on my local server.
I ran composer update but it did not create a lock file as the help pages suggested
How do i get rid of this message?

A: I spoke with our PHP team. You're running on an older Heroku stack (not heroku-18). These older stacks will default to PHP 5, unless you specify a version in composer. So if you were to upgrade to heroku-18, the default would be PHP 7.2 Either way, it's highly recommended that you specify a version in your composer file.


For the version of this for 1.10 and beyond, see World Control!

Helicopter and Aircraft Service in Alice, Texas
The Jamaica Defense Force received a jubilee helicopter for public safety and training future pilots
By -PILOT
Bell Textron Inc. a conglomerate of Textron Inc. (NYSE:TXT) today announced the delivery of its three-hundredth Bell 505 Jet Ranger X helicopter to the Jamaica Defense Force (JDF). The first delivery of the Bell 505 helicopter was made in 2017, and to date, 300 machines are in service on six continents with a combined 70,000 hours of flight time.
"The Bell 505 is currently one of Bell's fastest-growing commercial programs, having passed several significant milestones since its launch," says Michael Thacker, executive vice president of Innovation and Commerce. "As we have seen continued interest in the helicopter in public safety, general purpose and corporate flying, Bell has invested in new products and technologies to enhance the capabilities of the Bell 505 helicopter."
The latest developments in the Bell 505 platform include the Garmin G1000H NXi flight suite, Flight Stream application, autopilot, lightweight medical module layout, Bell public safety configuration, Pulselite bird collision warning system, FliteStep cross landing gear steps, left side luggage compartment door and removable ballast.
"We are proud to receive our 300th Bell 505 helicopter, thereby expanding the capabilities of our fleet," said Lt. Col. Brian Lundy, JDF air unit commander. "JDF and Bell have a strong bond of cooperation, and today's delivery signifies a new phase of our relationship." The sixth Bell 505 helicopter in the JDF fleet will serve Jamaican citizens on public safety missions and will be operated by the Caribbean Military Aviation School (CMAS) to train future international rotorcraft pilots.
With a speed of 125 knots (232 km/h) and a payload of 680 kg, the Bell 505 is Bell's newest five-seat aircraft designed for safety, efficiency and reliability using advanced avionics technology. Its similarity to the Bell 429 series platform will make it easy for pilots to rearrange when JDFs begin training activities. With the Garmin G1000 panel, the platform has a suite of onboard equipment similar to JDF combat training aircraft and reduces pilot workload while enhancing student learning.

Sometimes you just have to pay homage to the classics, even if they may not deserve it. We're likely going to be arguing about Birth of a Nation for quite some time, for instance, and here's another one that I've been curious about for some time – Nanook of the North, the first docudrama.
Robert J. Flaherty didn't start out as a filmmaker; he was a paid explorer, who when working for the Canadian Railroads, spent several years among the indigenous people of the Hudson Bay area, in northern Quebec. This was about 1910; in 1913 he bought a motion picture camera and started filming these people in their everyday lives. In 1916, though, he dropped a lit cigarette on this film, and being nitrate stock, it went up in a fireball (it's estimated that there was about 30,000 feet involved). He went back with more equipment, and using what he had learned in that previous venture, narrowed the focus to one family, and their struggles to survive a typical year in the hostile climate of Northern Quebec, and the result was a worldwide sensation.
But this is one of those movies where the behind-the-scenes is arguably more intriguing than what we see on the screen, and what we see on the screen is actually pretty damned good. There are many controversies surrounding Nanook, and all of them, unfortunately, bring the final product into question.
We'll start with the obvious: the title character, the Great Hunter Nanook (which we are told means "Bear"), is actually named (I hope I get this right) Allakariallak. We are introduced to his two wives, Nyla ("The Smiling One") and Cunayou. They were apparently not actually Allakariallak's wives, but – and this is only an allegation, mind – that they were actually Flaherty's lovers. The parentage of the baby constantly riding in Nyla's furs, like a papoose, is unknown.
The movie begins with some striking imagery, as Spring begins and Nanook paddles his kayak to the white man's trading post to barter the furs of his winter's kills. One of his children is riding on the top of the kayak. Nanook gets out, helps the boy to land, and then the kayak starts disgorging the rest of the family, like a clown car. This was a surprise, but so logical, I was placing it in my "Things Learned" column, until finding out about the rest of the picture's veracity. Now I'm not so sure.
There's a scene at the trading post where the proprietor shows a Gramophone to the baffled Nanook. Allakariallak, it turns out, was no bumpkin, and knew perfectly well what a gramophone was; but he also apparently knew the value of comic relief. There's also the fact that Nanook is portrayed in his constant hunting for food armed only with his trusty harpoon and a knife carved from a walrus tusk (which truly turns out to have a thousand and one uses), when the Inuit had been using guns for years.
So Flaherty convinced his plucky villagers to emulate their ancestors in their walrus hunt, and they seem to do a pretty good, if arduous job of it. The hunt itself may not be truly documentary, it may be scripted, but as Roger Ebert pointed out, nobody showed the walrus the script.
If you're willing to grant that Allakariallak may be using old-timey methods to trap his other prey, a snow fox and a huge seal, it becomes a fairly nice re-telling and record of those ways. Then, with the onset of winter, the family builds an igloo (the film claims "within an hour", but I ain't so sure about that). This is one of the most famous segments of Nanook, and it is a wonder to behold: Nanook carving the blocks of snow with his trusty walrus-tusk knife, the women and children spackling the gaps with more snow. And most amazing to my eye, Nanook carving a block of ice from the frozen bay to serve as a window, and then placing a block of snow to reflect sunlight into the igloo. That is neatly done.
Then the family settles down for the night under their skins and furs. And something is chewing at the back of my brain: I've seen the movie cameras of that era, and they are big. Too big to easily fit through the tiny open Nanook and his clan crawled through. And they required more light than could be brought in through that ice window.
Yep, Flaherty built a half-igloo, open to the outdoors and its bounteous light.
This is a question we have to face again and again as fans of cinema: does a good story trump the needs of historic accuracy? The answer from Hollywood is always a resounding, "Yes!" and who is to say they are wrong? Perhaps Nanook serves best not as a strict documentary, but as a record of a way of life that had vanished before the invention of the motion picture. Hence, not "documentary", but "docudrama". Robert Flaherty made a career out of movies like these, and they are all well-regarded: Elephant Boy (with Zoltan Korda, introducing Sabu), Louisiana Story, The Land.

Fitness App BoxVR to get a Physical box Edition for PlayStation VR
While not every PlayStation VR videogame gets a boxed version for gamers to collect, there are still plenty that do, with the likes of Sairento VR, The Wizards – Enhanced Edition, Squishies, Smash Hit Plunder and many more available. The company behind most of these launches is Perp Games, today announcing that fitness title BoxVR will be arriving on retail shelves in October.
Developed by FitXR, BoxVR launched digitally for PlayStation VR in April, leaving Early Access on PC the following month. As the name suggests, the title focuses on high-energy boxing gameplay, with players able to choose a selection of workouts depending on ability and how many calories they want to burn.
Alongside the 45 choreographed routines of varying lengths and intensities, BoxVR also features the My Workouts mode. This allows players to customise their experience, varying the duration and intensity of the routine whilst a custom playlist can be finetuned from the 110 included music tracks covering Rock to Pop, Dance and Hip Hop.
"We're excited to partner with Perp Games to bring BoxVR to a wider audience and, hopefully, turn many of them into fitness enthusiasts," said Sam Cole, co-founder of FitXR in a statement. "Given how many gamers and VR fans have migrated to our platform to not only get workouts inconsistently but have fun doing it, it's a natural fit."
BoxVR isn't purely single-player either supporting multiplayer. You can compete with five other people in real-time to tackle the same workout together.
Rob Edwards, Managing Director of Perp Games added: "VR has limitless potential in helping people get fit and stay healthy. We can think of no better partner than FitXR to release our first fitness game and are delighted to bring one of the very best workout experiences out there to global retail."
The physical launch will take place at some point during October, with the European version arriving first and the North American version shortly after. Or if you happen to live in the EU and don't mind a digital version, BoxVR is currently 36 percent off on PlayStation Store, retailing for £15.99 GBP instead of £24.99.

GET BIT Investigations uses amazing new technology for crime scene reconstructions which graphically and accurately represent the actual crime scene. Crime scene reconstructions provide the audience a "fly on the wall" perspective. This tool is incredibly valuable when presenting your case to a jury as most of us are visual learners.
Crime scene reconstruction is the use of scientific methods, physical evidence, deductive reasoning, and their interrelationships to gain explicit knowledge of the series of events that surround the commission of a crime. It is a disciplined and principled approach towards objectively understanding a crime scene. Using evidence found at a crime scene the incident can be reconstructed to determine what happened, and possibly find more clues.


Few small cars match the overall greatness of the new 2017 Mazda3, which can be had with a larger four-cylinder engine, set up in a hatchback or sedan body, and comes with plenty of standard or optional features. This well-rounded compact car found at our Houston, TX Mazda dealer is also pretty affordable, giving you great value for what you're paying for. Come on over today for a closer look at the new 2017 Mazda3.
While the base level four-cylinder, your Mazda3 will earn 37 mpg on the highway, which is great for the daily commuter. But the upgraded larger four-cylinder engine gives you a much peppier ride, particularly with the Mazda3's small and lightweight hatchback or sedan body, to the tune of 184 horsepower. We recommend that, as it's a lot of fun to drive and you won't sacrifice much in terms of fuel efficiency.
See more of the new Mazda3 by heading over to Jeff Haas Mazda today and we'll gladly take you for a test drive.


The concept of dae is to smoothly harmonize with the design of furniture or fittings, while maintaining a distinct presence as a caster. Rather than a "ball bearing configuration" comprising an axle and bearing, which is the basic structure of a conventional caster, it is characterized by a "sliding configuration" that does not use an axle or bearing. The dae caster structure comprises a SUS shell, an aluminum roller, and an internal ring made of special resin, enablingaring-shaped wheel with a central hole-a hublesscaster that possesses sufficient strength and solidity, yet seems to float.


Mixed effects models work for correlated data regression models, including repeated measures, longitudinal, time series, clustered, and other related methods.
One key assumption of ordinary linear regression is that the errors are independent of each other. However, with repeated measures or time series data, the ordinary regression residuals usually are correlated over time. Hence, this assumption is violated for correlated data.
It includes features of both fixed and random effects. Whereas, standard regression includes only fixed effects.
Examination Result (target variable) could be related to how many hours students study (fixed effect), but might also be dependent on the school they go to (random effect), as well as simple variation between students (residual error).
Fixed effects assume observations are independent while random effects assume some type of relationship exists between some observations.
Gender is a fixed effect variable because the values of male / female are independent of one another (mutually exclusive); and they do not change. Whereas, school has random effects because we can only sample some of the schools which exist; not to mention, students move into and out of those schools each year.
A target variable is contributed to by additive fixed and random effects as well as an error term.
where yij is the value of the outcome variable for a particular ij case, β1 through βn are the fixed effect coefficients (like regression coefficients), x1ij through xnij are the fixed effect variables (predictors) for observation j in group i (usually the first is reserved for the intercept/constant; x1ij = 1), bi1 through bin are the random effect coefficients which are assumed to be multivariate normally distributed, z1ij through znij are the random effect variables (predictors), and εij is the error for case j in group i where each group's error is assumed to be multivariate normally distributed.
Time series analysis usually has long time series and the primary goal is to look at how a single variable changes over time. There are sophisticated methods to deal with many problems - not just autocorrelation, but seasonality and other periodic changes and so on.
Mixed models are not as good at dealing with complex relationships between a variable and time, partly because they usually have fewer time points (it's hard to look at seasonality if you don't have multiple data for each season).
It is not necessary to have time series data for mixed models.
The ARIMA and AUTOREG procedures provide more time series structures than PROC MIXED.
The data used in the example below contains the interval scaled outcome variable Extroversion (extro) is predicted by fixed effects for the interval scaled predictor Openness to new experiences (open), the interval scaled predictor Agreeableness (agree), the interval scaled predictor Social engagement (social), and the nominal scaled predictor Class (class); as well as the random (nested) effect of Class within School (school). The data contains 1200 cases evenly distributed among 24 nested groups (4 classes within 6 schools).
The random effect specifies the nested effect of class within (or under) school; as class would be considered the level one variable and school the level two variable -- which is why the forward slash is used.
Then we can divide this total variance by our nested effect variance to give us the proportion of variance accounted for, which indicates whether or not this effect is meaningful.
These estimates are interpreted the same way as one would interpret estimates from a traditional ordinary least squares linear regression.
A one unit increase in the predictor Openness to new experiences (open) corresponds to a 0.0061302 increase in the outcome Extroversion (extro). Likewise, a one unit increase in the predictor Agreeableness (agree) corresponds to a 0.0077361 decrease in the outcome Extroversion (extro). Furthermore, the categorical predictor classb has a coefficient of 2.0547978; which means, the mean Extroversion score of the second group of class (b) is 2.0547978 higher than the mean Extroversion score of the first group of class (a).
It allows us to assess whether or not the random effect is present in the data.

Where f07q04c is the variable representing viral shedding; i.visit is an indicator variable for visit since my reference point is baseline visit; f03q10==0 represents not on ARV and f03q10==1 ARV Active ; subject is subject id and visit is follow-up time in weeks.
This is a longitudinal study but not all subjects have the same follow up times. There are missing observations too. Thanks.
in the above equation, don't you think that we shd/can have INTERCEPT as well.

Zambian police detain newspaper editors in tax row
Posted on June 28, 2016 by The Independent in Business, Politics
Zambian President Edgar Lungu
ZAMBIAN police detained three people including two editors of a newspaper critical of the government that was shut down last week, as tensions rose in the run up to elections in August.
The Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) shut down the Post newspaper last week, demanding US$6 million in unpaid taxes but the newspaper accused the authorities of trying to silence it, and claimed the outstanding bill was part of a court dispute.
Tax officials have not commented on the matter, but Zambian President Edgar Lungu on Monday defended the ZRA's action, saying it did so to recoup unpaid taxes.
On Tuesday, the Post's managing editor Joan Chirwa said police arrested its editor-in-chief Fred Mmembe, his wife Mutinta and deputy managing editor Joseph Mwenda late on Monday.
"This was after the trio gained entry into the Post newspaper's head office in Rhodespark following a stay granted by the court restraining ZRA from seizing the newspaper's property," Chirwa told Reuters.
She said the Post – which has continued publishing from an unknown location – obtained a court order to resume operations but the police said it had not been signed by ZRA.
Police spokesman Rae Hamoonga said the three had been detained but had not yet been formally charged, and that police officers were still consulting with the tax authorities.
The opposition says the government was using repressive laws to restrict its campaigns and that there was a media clamp down. The presidency has denied the claims, saying the opposition was campaigning freely.
Lungu has been in power for just over a year after winning a ballot triggered by the death of his predecessor, Michael Sata, in October 2014. He faces a strong challenge from opposition leader Hakainde Hichilema of the United Party for National Development at the polls.-Reuters
