EXCLUSIVE: David Kosse took on the newly-created role of VP of International Film at Netflix in April. The former Universal, Film4 and STX executive's mandate is to oversee all of international film production and acquisitions with a focus on making and acquiring non-English language movies for the streaming site. Today, he's got an impressive initial slate that includes a new project from Amélie helmer Jean-Pierre Jeunet; as well as book adaptations, Munich and The Last; and Peter Thorwath's Transatlantic 473 (see more detail below).
We chatted recently about Netflix's overseas ambitions and Kosse's strategy to broaden and diversify international content with global scale.
DEADLINE: Can you lay out for us the local-language strategy?
DAVID KOSSE: The important part of my coming here is that Netflix realized and recognized that the global membership has an appetite for a hugely diverse range of content than we've seen or believed in the past. One statistic is 50% of our membership base has, over the past year, watched something in a language other than English or their own country's language.

Now, we've had a lot of success on the series side in terms of things we produce and shows we've acquired. So basically, we see a massive opportunity around the world with this member base being willing to and being interested in this hugely diverse range of stories.
The opportunity we see is that with this reach of members out there, we think it's going to give filmmakers around the world a huge amount more flexibility in terms of stories they tell and new diverse stories to tell in different languages and different kinds of stories than may have been able to have been financed through the traditional models of distribution. It creates a level of scale and reach and allows us to embrace and take chances on stories that others didn't.
It's a unique opportunity because it makes good business sense, it's good for our members and we can find stories and tell them in a way that is kind of language agnostic to a degree, but not completely, and on a global level. What we see is that the member base increasingly wants to see themselves reflected on the screen. With such a diverse membership, it really is a diverse audience.
The reason I'm excited to be here is to seek out these partnerships with filmmakers and create movies in a way that I don't think has ever been done before.
DEADLINE: Can you elaborate on what you mean by a way that hasn't been done before?
KOSSE: Because we can find the audience on a global level based on viewing habits that we know about in the way Netflix productions work, I think we can find a bigger global audience faster than the traditional foreign language films that are for the most part independently financed and distributed.
In most cases that requires a broadcaster in the home market and distribution in the local market so that it feels like a sellable proposition, and the sales agent feels they can make up gap with equity players and cornerstone financing.
That creates a type of film and a budget constraint that is market based. Our model isn't based on that. It might be perceived as taking risks, but what we can do is identify stories on our platform that would play at a certain level and would allow a filmmaker to have the right money to spend for the story as opposed to being backed into budgets based on audience and expectation.
It's a different model that might come up with a bigger number and allow a filmmaker to make a more complete version of the movie. It might be stories that filmmakers might not be able to get told in the best possible way. If we do it right, they will be able to do it in the best way.
DEADLINE: Can you discuss budgets at all?
KOSSE: I have an overall envelope, it's very robust, but I don't have unlimited funds. We are getting this initiate off the ground in terms of we'll jump in deeply to go and make this work. And it's up to me and my group to define it.
DEADLINE: Where are you sourcing projects?
KOSSE: The team is all based out of London and the markets we're focused on for the bigger productions are the larger European markets and the languages that are spoken by a great deal of people. The primary focus from a production standpoint is Spain, Italy, France, Germany and to some degree the Nordics. But we also are active and exploring opportunities in Sub-Saharan Africa, in Central and Eastern Europe and the Middle East. As well as to some degree Latin America.
DEADLINE: Is it only to some degree in Latin America because if you're in Spain you cover those markets to an extent?
KOSSE: Obviously the Spanish language travels into Latin America, but what we're actually seeing a lot more of is that it's around having a base of enough members who speak that language as their first choice on the service. But the idea is for the Spanish films to travel to non-Spanish speakers and the same goes for France, Italy, etc. And that's what we see already.
DEADLINE: What about Asia?
KOSSE: Separate from my group, Netflix has a team in APAC working on productions there. And then we have a significant ongoing effort in India that does report into me.
DEADLINE: Are you acquiring local production companies?
KOSSE: No, we follow something called a partner managed model. So, I have a team here that crosses creative, physical production, production finance, post, visual effects, business and legal affairs. We do all of that but the producers are taking the final responsibility for delivering the budget. So, we're not managing these productions as a studio would. We're doing the major hires and overseeing the major casting elements but we're co-captain with the production services company.
DEADLINE: On your initial slate you have Bigbug from Jean-Pierre Jeunet. France and Netflix have been uncomfortable bedfellows given the 36-month window from theatrical to streaming. Was it difficult to convince him to come to the service?
KOSSE: Jeunet is excited about the level of reach that he can get through the membership base and is more focused on getting the opportunity to make the movie he really wants to make in the way he really wants to make it, and the opportunity to have that seen globally. He believes in what Netflix can provide on a global level. So the answer is it wasn't that difficult.
DEADLINE: Are there any plans for theatrical elements with your slate? What about festivals?
KOSSE: There are no plans for theatrical elements for these movies. We're not changing our festival strategy, what you've seen is indicative of what we'll continue to do.
DEADLINE: What kinds of talent are you looking to work with?
KOSSE: The whole reason for this initiative is to broaden and diversify stories being told so that they reflect the member base. Part of our strategy is to work with the top filmmakers of the market. But by no means is that the core of the strategy or is it exclusive to them. We have engaged with and reached out to many first and second time filmmakers in the whole process, so the filmmaker's level of experience has not been the major criteria. It's generally a diverse array to broaden the storytelling.
Here is the slate of projects announced today:
Bigbug: A French language film from BAFTA winner and Oscar nominee Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Written with Guillaume Laurant and produced by Eskwad's Richard Grandpierre and Frédéric Doniguian, the story sees a group of bickering suburbanites who find themselves stuck together when an android uprising causes their well intentioned household robots to lock them in for their own safety.
Transatlantic 473 [Blood Red Sky]: In German and English, the film from director Peter Thorwarth (Not My Day, The Last Cop), is set on an international night flight from Berlin to New York. When the plane is hijacked, all is not as it seems. The hijackers find themselves faced with a desperate mother, who is also a supernatural being with powers and reflexes beyond their imaginations, trying to protect her son. Thorwarth wrote the script with Stefan Holtz; producers are Rat Pack Filmproduktion's Christian Becker.
Munich: An adaptation of Robert Harris' bestseller, the film is in German and English. Ben Power is adapting the screenplay with Turbine Studio's Andrew Eaton producing. Set in September 1938 as Hitler is preparing to invade Czechoslovakia and claim the Sudetenland, while European diplomats scramble to stop him. Over four crucial days leading up to Neville Chamberlain's infamous appeasement of the dictator, Munich follows Hugh Legat and Paul Von Hartmann, former friends and opposing diplomats, as they swap secret documents and betray their nations in hopes of preventing another world war.
The Last: An adaptation of Hanna Jameson's book which will be told in French, German, English and Japanese. The novel is part murder mystery and part post-apocalyptic thriller. Amid the fallout of global nuclear war, survivors at a remote Swiss hotel discover the murdered body of a young girl.
Previously announced:
The Incredible Story Of Rose Island (L'Incredibile Storia Dell'Isola Delle Rose): The Italian language picture is from director Sydney Sibilia who co-wrote with Francesca Manieri. Matteo Rovere produces the true story of Giorgio Rosa and the Independent State which he founded in 1968 outside Italian territorial waters, off the Rimini coast, embodying the dreams and aspirations of a generation. Cast includes Elio Germano, Matilda De Angelis, Fabrizio Bentivoglio, Luca Zingaretti, François Cluzet, Tom Wlaschiha, Leonardo Lidi, Alberto Astorri, Violetta Zironi, Fabrizio Rongione and Andrea Pennacchi.

The live-action Titans series for DC Universe will make its debut Friday, October 12 — just around the same time other DC shows like The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, Black Lightning and Arrow will be premiering their new seasons on The CW. It's going to be a busy week!
The show will get a special preview at New York Comic-Con on October 3.
Titans will roll out with one episode per week, every Friday, and there are 12 episodes in Season 1. And, of course, if you subscribe to the DC Universe service, there will be the ability to read classic Teen Titans comic book runs. You can subscribe to DC Universe at DCUniverse.com.

Titans: DC Universe Launch Date & New Photos
June 29, 2018 Craig Byrne	Leave a comment
The DC Universe made some big announcements yesterday, many of which you can find on our general TV news site, KSiteTV, but even more than that… they released some new photos of Brenton Thwaites as Robin in Titans, including a full body shot!
Thwaites himself posted a photo on Instagram which you can find in the gallery below. In the photo, he mentioned "that's a wrap on Titans" for Season 1… if that is a photo from the end of the season, does that imply Dick Grayson is Robin for the entire year?
Also announced is that Titans is due to come our way later this year! Doom Patrol and Swamp Thing will be headed our way in 2019.
Our apologies for not posting about this on TitansTV yesterday; there were some personal issues that kept webmaster Craig away from the computer for most of the afternoon. As always, though, the first place you can look for Titans information is our @TitansTV Twitter account.

DC Universe May Launch In Late August; Might This Be The Titans Premiere Date?
June 9, 2018 Craig Byrne	Leave a comment
Here at TitansTV we have a lot of "may" and "might" and "could" in our headlines, and we're sorry for that. Since it is part of a streaming service (DC Universe) that is brand new, a lot of the studio's plans are being held close to the vest. However…. some good news may have come in the form of a podcast interview!
DC Entertainment community manager Dani Snow appeared on the "James Bonding" podcast and in the process of it all, she mentioned that the DC Universe digital platform is targeting a "late August" launch for the service, which will be "a hub for all things DC," including comics, movies, and TV shows old and new from the DC library.
The remaining question, of course, is will Titans be premiering with the launch, or will it be a soft launch? Obviously Titans premiering in August or whenever the service goes live would be a big "get" and a reason to get early adopters.
Right now, we don't know anything for sure, though chances are very good that we will be hearing and seeing some very big things around the time of the Comic-Con International in San Diego in mid-July. Hopefully we'll get some more official stills before then as well?
What we do know is that Titans and Young Justice: Outsiders will surely premiere before Swamp Thing or Doom Patrol which have not started filming yet. And we also know "The DC Universe" sounds pretty great and we can't wait to hear more!

Parking Meters for Fairfield Avenue Discussed at Bellevue Council Meeting
The City of Bellevue approved two-hour parking for five spaces on Fairfield Avenue in front of properties that are now mostly used commercially.
The city designated several blocks along its commercial corridor as two-hour parking in 2004 and updated the ordinance last week to include spots that were previously in front of residential properties.
"We need to amend this order to more closely represent what Fairfield Avenue actually is now," said Assistant City Administrator Jody Robinson. "A lot of these residential properties are no longer there. They are now commercial buildings."
Robinson said the change was sought at the prodding of business owners. "We believe it will increase the value of those commercial buildings," she said.
The move from residential parking to timed parking led to the conversion of multiple properties from vacant to commercial, Robinson said.
City councilman Bill Helton expressed concern over residents who live in the area impacted by the addition of five more timed spaces. Robinson said that many residents in Downtown Bellevue have off-street parking and that the parking restrictions are only in place from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Helton argued that if a visitor to Bellevue were to park and take in all the businesses on the Avenue, that the trip would likely take longer than two hours. To return to a vehicle with a ticket on the windshield may discourage a return trip, he said. While he agreed that businesses should be supported by parking that encourages faster turn-over of users, "I don't want the residents in the area to pay the consequences because it won't be fair to them because they live down there."
Robinson conceded that there is always a challenge in finding a parking balance in mixed-use corridors that include commercial and residential properties. "We hopefully will have opportunities in our future to provide off-street parking but where we are today, if you look to the business corridors in Newport, Covington, and Ft. Thomas, there is restricted parking even though they are all mixed-use," Robinson said.
Council approved the change for the designated spaces on the 700 block of Fairfield Avenue but Robinson was asked to explore options to examine the possibility of installing meters on the street at some point.
She said before her time in Bellevue, parking meters were studied. "There are some advantages and disadvantages," she said. "It certainly creates parking turnovers." Adding parking meters would also cost the city parking spaces because of the size requirements for each metered space. Whereas with unmarked two-hour parking spaces, a car's size could allow it to occupy a small space, the required size of a metered space is designed to accommodate even larger vehicles.
That is one of the reasons that during the city's streetscape project that it elected not to mark parking spaces.
The goal is to keep cars circulating, City Adinistrator Keith Spoelker said. Without timed spaces, "A car could take a spot out of commission for the whole day," he said.
"We want to give the opportunity for their customers to pull in and pull out," Spoelker said.
Robinson also requested better enforcement of the two-hour parking limitation. Councilman Matt Olliges argued that the police department doesn't have the man-hours, "and we don't want to be in the parking enforcement business". Olliges conceded that tickets for violating the two-hour limit are not often issued. "I don't think I'm letting the cat out of the bag," he said. He said he would like to see a study conducted on the impact of meters on the street. "The meter is what tricks people into saying it is time to leave," Olliges said.
Robinson said that parking studies are expensive and typically conducted by city planners but she agreed to look into it.
"It might be the right thing to do at this time and then once we get more information, we change the policy to eliminate the two-hour restriction in lieu of meters," Spoelker said.
Police Chief Wayne Berry said most of the complaints the department gets about parking violations are from the people being cited. "It's a very passionate issue," he said. Berry said the department tends to take a reactive approach to parking enforcement.
Other notes from city council meeting:
The salt barn was full as of last week's meeting, prior the snowfall Sunday into Monday.
"We've been able to keep the salt supply full this winter," Mayor Ed Riehl said. "Hats off to the guys that have done an exemplary job of keeping our streets clean. They had a tough task this winter with all the storms one after the other and the cold temperatures that followed."
"If you see the guys, tell them thanks."
The city used a little more than 150 tons of salt this winter and was down to its last twenty tons before the most recent shipment arrived," Spoelker said.
The city administrator said that the extreme storms have cost the city 3,500 hours in overtime, about five hundred more than anticipated. Spoelker said there are savings from other accounts that will cover that extra cost.
One area Bellevue hopes to improve upon is the notification of residents for when garbage collection is delayed. Spoelker said the city is working on enhancing its social media presence to help with that.
Spring Clean-Up is scheduled for March 31 - April 6. There will be dumpsters at the public works facility on Colfax Avenue where residents can drop off trash, with the exception of liquids such as paint or oil.
In previous years the dumpsters were placed at the Callahan Center but Spoelker said it is easier for a backhoe to reach them at the public works facility and likely easier for drop-off by residents.
A shred day is also scheduled for April 5 at the Callahan Center from 9 a.m. - noon.

Strongly condemning attacks on medical personnel in conflict situations, the Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution demanding an end to impunity for those responsible and respect for international law on the part of all warring parties.
The Council demanded that all parties to armed conflict comply fully with their obligations under international law, including international human rights law, as applicable, and international humanitarian law, in particular their obligations under the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and their Additional Protocols of 1977 and 2005. It demanded also that all parties to armed conflict facilitate safe and unimpeded passage for medical and humanitarian personnel.
Council President for May Amr Abdellatif Aboulatta said that there had been widespread support for the resolution. Attacks against medical workers and facilities created hatred in society and undermined the possibility of peaceful settlement.
International humanitarian law, particularly the Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols, called for full respect for and protection of health personnel and institutions, he said, adding that the Council, for its part, must send a strong political message that such violations could not occur.

Conservative Activist Trayce Bradford Announces Campaign Against Dan Patrick
"We must respect the role of self-governance and value the heritage of this great state and her citizens."
Brandon Waltens | October 5, 2021
Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick's competition at the polls next year won't just be coming from Democrats.
At a meeting of Grassroots America – We the People in Tyler on Tuesday evening, Tracye Bradford, conservative activist and former president of the Texas Eagle Forum, announced she would be mounting a campaign against Patrick in the Republican primary in 2022.
"After much prayer and discussion with my family, I have made the decision to run for the office of Lt. Governor for the great state of Texas. As a native Texan and strong conservative, I will stand up for the liberty principles that are foundational to Texas' long-term success," said Bradford. After leaving Texas Eagle Forum, she became the vice president of Christians Engaged.
In a campaign announcement, Bradford said she was running because of constant challenges on the southern border and Texas' sovereignty, as well as "the ever-growing government encroachment into our lives and liberties as citizens."
"Whether it be protecting our children, our individual medical rights, or small businesses, there are critical decisions that must be made and not continually kicked down the road. The time is now for decisive action and unwavering courage to stand up for Texan's inalienable rights given by our Creator, protected in our constitutions, both state and federal and under the rule of law. We must respect the role of self-governance and value the heritage of this great state and her citizens," she added.
Patrick, a former state senator, has served as lieutenant governor since 2015. Before the legislative session ended in May, Patrick touted the endorsement of former President Donald Trump in an attempt to dissuade intra-party challengers.
On the Democrat side, Patrick has already garnered opponents in his 2018 foe Mike Collier and former George Bush advisor Matt Dowd.
While the primary election is currently scheduled for March 1, 2022, delays due to legislative redistricting could force the election to be moved back.

Q: Nullified the deportation rule ON/TO/FOR her Let's say your aunt got deported by the U.S government. Few weeks later, she came back, as the gov't has nullified the deportation rules because your aunt gave birth in the U.S.A (more like mandatory child support). The correct phrase & preposition is:

My auny was deported, but few weeks later, the U.S. government found out that she gave birth to her youngest child in the U.S.A, then the government has nullified/amend the deportation rule on/to/for her, so she came back.

What is the correct phrase and preposition here?

A: Normally we would say her deportation ruling.  But if you wanted to be long-winded about it, you could say
... the deportation ruling in respect to her
The prepositions you suggest are not quite idiomatic.  There are native speakers would might say on her or for her there, but they would be likely to have a number  of "non-standard" forms in their speech.

Nicholas gets stronger, threatens to hit Texas as hurricane
The storm could bring up to 20 inches of rain to parts of the Gulf Coast.

Published Sep. 13, 2021
HOUSTON — Tropical Storm Nicholas gathered strength Monday and threatened to blow ashore in Texas as a hurricane that could bring up to 20 inches of rain to parts of the Gulf Coast, including the same area hit by Hurricane Harvey in 2017 and storm-battered Louisiana.
Although the system was expected to generate only a fraction as much rain as Harvey, nearly all of the state's coastline was under a tropical storm warning that included potential flash floods and urban flooding. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said authorities placed rescue teams and resources in the Houston area and along the coast.
Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center in Miami said the system's top sustained winds reached 65 mph, an increase of 5 mph from earlier in the day. If the winds hit 74 mph, the storm would become a Category 1 hurricane. It was moving northeast at 12 mph and was predicted to make landfall in the evening along the central Texas coast.
In flood-prone Houston, officials worried that heavy rain expected to arrive late Monday and early Tuesday could inundate streets and flood homes. Authorities deployed high-water rescue vehicles throughout the city and erected barricades at more than 40 locations that tend to flood, Mayor Sylvester Turner said.

"This city is very resilient. We know what we need to do. We know about preparing," said Turner, referencing four major flood events that have hit the Houston area in recent years, including devastating damage from Harvey, which flooded more than 150,000 homes in the Houston area.
Turner and Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo asked residents to stay off the roads Monday evening to avoid risking their lives or the lives of first responders who might be called to rescue them from flooded roadways.
"What I need each resident to do is get where you need to be by 6 p.m. and stay there," said Hidalgo, the top elected official in Harris County, which includes Houston.
The Houston school district, the state's largest, announced that classes would be canceled Tuesday because of the incoming storm. The weather threat also closed multiple COVID-19 testing and vaccination sites in the Houston and Corpus Christi areas, and forced the cancellation of a Harry Styles concert scheduled for Monday evening in Houston.
On Monday afternoon, Nicholas was centered roughly 70 miles (113 kilometers) south of Port O'Connor, Texas, and 85 miles (137 kilometers) southwest of Matagorda, Texas. A hurricane watch was issued from Port Aransas to San Luis Pass.
Six to 12 inches (15 to 30 centimeters) of rain were expected along the middle and upper Texas coast, with isolated maximum amounts of 18 inches (46 centimeters) possible. Other parts of southeast Texas and south-central Louisiana and southern Mississippi could see 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 centimeters) over the coming days.
"Listen to local weather alerts and heed local advisories about the right and safe thing to do, and you'll make it through this storm just like you've had many other storms," Abbott said during a news conference in Houston.
Nicholas was headed toward the same area of Texas that was hit hard by Harvey. That storm made landfall, then stalled for four days, dropping more than 60 inches (152 cm) of rain in parts of southeast Texas. Harvey was blamed for at least 68 deaths, including 36 in the Houston area.
After Harvey, voters approved the issuance of $2.5 billion in bonds to fund flood-control projects, including the widening of bayous. The 181 projects designed to mitigate damage from future storms are at different stages of completion.
University of Miami hurricane researcher Brian McNoldy said he expects Nicholas to be "magnitudes less than Harvey in every regard."
The main worry with Nicholas will be its speed. Storms are moving slower in recent decades, and Nicholas could get stuck between two other weather systems, said hurricane researcher Jim Kossin of The Climate Service.
Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards declared a state of emergency Sunday night, ahead of the storm's arrival in a state still recovering from Hurricane Ida and last year's Hurricane Laura and historic flooding. The system was expected to bring the heaviest rainfall west of where Ida slammed into Louisiana two weeks ago.
Across Louisiana, almost 120,000 customers remained without power Monday morning, according to the utility tracking site poweroutage.us.
In Cameron Parish in coastal Louisiana, Scott Trahan was still finishing repairs on his home from Hurricane Laura, which put about 2 feet of water in his house. He hopes to be finished by Christmas. He said many in his area have moved instead of rebuilding.
"If you get your butt whipped about four times, you are not going to get back up again. You are going to go somewhere else," Trahan said.
Colorado State University hurricane researcher Phil Klotzbach said via Twitter that Nicholas is the 14th named storm of the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season. Only four other years since 1966 have had 14 or more named storms by Sept. 12: 2005, 2011, 2012 and 2020.

We're raising money for the AbleGamers charity, which aims to increase the accessibility of video games for the disabled. This has been a tradition in the PA community for the past couple of years (so this is the third event). There will be a series of four four player free for alls with the winner of each being sent to a fifth free for all. Viewers will be able to influence the outcome by donating to the charity in the name of the player, giving their chosen player various explosive goodies. If any of you folks feel like participating, that'd be great.

World Language and Culture Exams
Active Page: World Language and Culture Exams
All student audio responses for AP French, German, Italian, and Spanish Language and Culture Exams must be submitted through the Digital Audio Submission (DAS) portal to be scored. Visit Submitting Audio for more information about the DAS portal.
The Digital Audio Capture (DAC) app is an additional recording option available for the AP French, German, Italian, and Spanish Language and Culture Exams. In 2020, versions of the DAC app will be available for iPads and Chromebooks. The 2020 DAC app will be available for download in the spring from the Apple App store and the Chrome Web store. Schools that use the DAC app must use the 2020 version of the app. (Files recorded using previous versions of the DAC app will not be accepted by the DAS portal.)
For more information, please see the AP Coordinator's Manual, Part 2. The AP Exam Instructions will be available in 2020.
AP French, German, Italian, and Spanish Language and Culture, and Spanish Literature and Culture Exams
You'll order exams for AP French, German, Italian, Spanish Language and Culture and AP Spanish Literature and Culture through AP Registration and Ordering. For more information about ordering AP Exams, go to Ordering Exam Materials, or review the AP Coordinator's Manual, Part 1.
Ordering Master CDs
Each order for an AP French, German, Italian, and Spanish Language and Culture and Spanish Literature and Culture Exam includes one set of master CDs, as follows:
French, German, Italian, and Spanish Language and Culture: master CD for Section I (listening), and a double CD set containing the master CD for writing and the master CD for speaking for Section II.
Spanish Literature and Culture: master CD for Section I (listening).
Important: By default, you'll receive one set of master CDs for each subject ordered, regardless of the number of exams ordered. You may need to request more master CDs when additional testing rooms are needed:
Some schools administer the speaking parts of the exams in multiple rooms. Schools may do this if they have enough rooms and recording equipment to administer these sections to groups of students at the same time. If you plan to do this, you should order master double CD sets for each testing room.
Also, order sufficient master CDs if you have students who have been approved for extended time or other accommodations that require separate testing rooms. You should order one set of master CDs for each testing room.
When you submit your exam order, you may request:
1 additional master writing/speaking CD set for every 4 exams ordered
1 additional master listening CD for every 10 exams ordered
You may add additional master CDs to your exam order until March 13, 2020, 11:59 p.m. ET. After March 13, if you need to request additional master CDs, you must contact AP Services for Educators.
Necessary equipment
CD player: You will need a high-quality CD player with speakers to play the listening and speaking master CDs. If you are recording the speaking portion in more than one room, you will need a CD player at each of these locations.
Recording devices/equipment: You will need digital audio recording devices or equipment to record student responses at each recording location. Acceptable recording methods in 2020 are:
Computers with MP3 recording software and headset/microphone
Handheld recording devices
Digital language lab
Digital Audio Capture (DAC) app running on Apple iPad tablets and Chromebooks
Visit Recording Audio for information on recording options.
Submitting Audio Files
All students' recorded speaking response files must be submitted online through the Digital Audio Submission (DAS) portal. Visit the Submitting Audio page for information on how to submit student responses. The DAS portal will be available in early April 2020 for AP coordinators and school staff to create accounts.
Important: Only audio responses submitted through the DAS portal will be scored.
To prepare for AP French, German, Italian, and Spanish Language and Culture Exams, please take the following steps:
Decide where you'll administer the exams; you may administer these exams in a regular classroom, a language lab, or a computer lab.
Determine the digital recording technology students will use to record their responses for the speaking portion of the exams. (If using a digital language lab, computer, or handheld recording device, files must be saved in MP3 format.)
Hold several practice recording sessions so that you, teachers, proctors, students, and your school's technical staff (if applicable) gain a full understanding of the process.
Encourage AP teachers to give students time to practice recording responses using the method that will be used on exam day.
Make sure students have the opportunity to practice with released free-response questions and short-answer questions available in the course and exam descriptions, and the teacher-accessible practice exams available in the fall through AP Classroom.
If using a digital language lab, computer, or handheld recording device, have proctors practice saving and naming MP3 files before the exam administration. If your school is using the DAC app for recording, the app directly names and saves the files with the student's AP ID. Learn more about the DAC app.
Give proctors a way to cross-reference students' AP IDs to ensure that the proper AP ID is used when they name and save the MP3 files. (Applies only when recording with a digital language lab, computer, or handheld recording device.)
Remind proctors that they will need to verify that each file can be played and the audio level of each file is adequate.
Work with your school's administration to establish a quiet testing environment. Refrain from using bells and making PA announcements during testing, if possible, and ensure that proctors do not talk with other staff during the exam.
Extended Time
If a student taking an AP French, German, Italian, or Spanish Language and Culture Exam has been approved for an accommodation of extended time, it's important that the proctor understands how to apply the extended time during the exam. These exams don't offer master CDs with embedded extended time due to the varied needs of students with disabilities. (The Chinese and Japanese Language and Culture exams do have 50% and 100% extended time embedded in the exam CDs because the entire exam is administered on a computer.)
AP coordinators and proctors should review the instructions for determining extended time for the AP French, German, Italian, and Spanish Language and Culture Exams in the AP Coordinator's Manual, Part 2.
Although master CDs must not be paused during a standard exam administration, remind proctors administering AP Exams to students approved for extended time that they can apply extended time to master CDs by pausing between tracks or after the audio stimulus is played.
Reminder: As noted in the AP Coordinator's Manual, Part 2, questions in Section II, Part B require students to provide oral responses. In this part, students are limited to short responses that should not exceed the time allotted on the master CD (20 seconds or two minutes, depending on the task). If a student is approved for extended time for this part, the extended time should be used for preparing responses, not for creating responses that are longer than requested.
Remember that to take an AP Exam with accommodations—including extended time—a student must be approved for accommodations by College Board's Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) office. Providing accommodations to students without College Board approval will result in the cancellation of these students' scores.
If you have questions about applying extended time to exams for students approved for this accommodation, or any other accommodations, contact SSD:
844-255-7728 (toll free in the United States and Canada)
ssd@info.collegeboard.org
Refer to the AP Coordinator's Manual, Part 2 for full instructions and procedures for preparing for and administering the AP Exams in world languages.
Refer to the AP Exam Instructions for exam administration proctor scripts, including scripts specific to each audio recording option.
Review AP Digital Audio Submission (DAS) Help, a step-by-step guide to using the DAS portal to upload and submit students' recorded responses. (An updated version for 2019-20 will be posted in spring 2020.)
If your school is planning to use the DAC app to record students' responses, check the DAC App page in April 2020 for the DAC App Overview, a guide to using the app.
AP Chinese and AP Japanese Exams
AP Chinese Language and Culture and AP Japanese Language and Culture Exams are delivered on CD and administered on a computer. Detailed information about administering these exams, including hardware and software requirements, is available in the AP Coordinator's Manual, Part 2 and the AP Exam Instructions.
You can also go to AP Chinese Language and Culture and AP Japanese Language and Culture for information about those exams.
New! You'll order AP Chinese and AP Japanese Exams through AP Registration and Ordering at the same time that you order all other AP Exams by the November 15 final ordering deadline. You no longer need to submit orders for AP Chinese and AP Japanese Exams earlier than your order for all other exams. For more information about ordering AP Exams, go to Ordering Exam Materials, or review the AP Coordinator's Manual, Part 1.
Please call College Board's SSD office immediately to advise of any students planning to take AP Chinese or AP Japanese Exams with accommodations and provide detailed information about the accommodations they need.
Technical Updates for 2019-20
Technical support is available throughout the year to provide assistance with all AP Chinese and Japanese technical setup questions and issues.
Email: APiBTTech@ets.org
During the computer setup phase for AP Chinese and Japanese Exams, technical support hours are: 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET, Monday—Friday.
On exam day for the Chinese and Japanese Exams (regularly scheduled and late-testing administrations), live technical support will be available from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. local time.
New! Microsoft has discontinued support of Windows 7 and will no longer provide technical support, software updates, or security updates for the operating system. Third-party video and/or audio drivers may also no longer be supported, causing poor quality audio recording of students' responses. If your school still uses Windows 7, upgrade to Windows 10 to avoid technical problems that could jeopardize your students' exam scores. (Window 8.1 also remains supported for 2020.)
Windows 10 and the AP Japanese Language and Culture Exam: if you're planning to administer the AP Japanese Language and Culture Exam on a computer using Windows 10, testing stations need to be connected to the internet in order to install the required Microsoft Mincho font. If your school plans to use computers running Windows 10 for this exam and they're not connected to the internet, please contact Technical Support for further assistance (email APiBTTech@ets.org or call 609-406-5640).
Fee Reductions and Class Sections
New! This year, you don't need to complete a separate Fee Reduction/Section Designation Form for students taking these exams. You'll create class sections for AP Chinese and AP Japanese before the start of the school year at the same time you create all other class sections in AP Registration and Ordering.
You'll indicate the fee reduction status for these students only in AP Registration and Ordering, as you will for students taking any other AP Exams. Fee reduction status needs to be indicated by April 30, 2020, 11:59 p.m. ET. See more information about Accessing and Using AP Registration and Ordering.
What's Not Changing
In the spring, you'll receive a shipment with AP Chinese and AP Japanese Setup CDs. Setup CDs are required for preparing testing computers to deliver the exams.
In a separate shipment in the spring, you'll receive the Exam CDs. (The Setup CDs are sent ahead of the Exam CDs.)
If a student taking an exam in AP Chinese or AP Japanese has been approved for an accommodation of extended time, the proctor does not need to follow the same procedures as for the other world language exams. The AP Chinese and AP Japanese Exams include 50% and 100% extended time embedded in the exam CDs.

Fatigue is a common side-effect and can be caused by radiation treatments, chemotherapy and other drug therapies, over all stress and the lack of sleep common during treatment. This week we will focus on energizing mudras and pranayama and restorative postures to provide true rest and relaxation to the body to help alleviate fatigue. Conserving energy is an important part of dealing with fatigue. Try not to not do too much on your good days and make time for nurturing activities that will help you save your healing energy for yourself rather than expending it on others.
This article belongs to a 10-part series of home practices that were developed as part of the 2013 Research Survey conducted at the Cancer Support Community San Francisco East Bay by Cheryl Fenner Brown, E-RYT 500.


Welcome to Week 6 of the 10-Week Digital Photo Organizing Challenge! Today, we're zooming in on a crucual step in the photo organizing process — deleting digital photo duplicates.
So you've successfully sorted your images into their appropriate dated folder within your new core file structure. BRAVO! Now that that monumental task is behind you, things begin to get a bit more fun.
This week, we begin to "declutter" your images by deleting the digital photo duplicates within your collection.
As you can imagine, this step has the potential to be fairly time-consuming. Fortunately, there are some super helpful software tools out there to make the "de-duping" process go quickly. I use PhotoSweeper when working on a Mac (which I use to illustrate the de-duping process within this post). There are a few more options if you are using a PC. I've used Awesome Duplicate Photo Finder, when working on a PC. Other PC-based programs used by photo organizers include: Visipics, PhotoSort, and Duplicate Cleaner Pro.
Take some time to explore the various software programs and determine which one you feel most comfortable with (features, user interface, price, etc.). Once you make a selection, your first order of business is to download the software and begin to play around with it. I highly suggest creating a "practice folder" of copied images that you can use to complete a series of de-duping runs in order to get a good feel for how the software program works. You can also search for tutorials on YouTube in order to fully explore the software features.
Once you are in the thick of the de-duping process, you may encounter a moment of terror as you discover that you've inadvertently deleted photos that you didn't want to delete. If you created a back-up copy of your original core file structure before you began the de-duping process, you'll be able to restore those accidentally deleted photos and begin to breathe again!
I don't think I mentioned this in previous posts, so I'll do it now. The only type of files that should exist at this point in your core file structure are image files (.jpg, .tif, .png, .gif). If you run the de-duping software on folders that contain other types of files, it has the potential to trip up the software.
In order to avoid overwhelming the software and yourself, I recommend first running duplicate searches separately for each yearly folder within your core file structure. In the example below, I ran a search on my 2017 file folder, which contains 1501 images (so far).
After the search is completed, my task is to visually compare 24 images and make decisions about what can be deleted. That's do-able!
After you've gone through the process of looking at 100% duplicate match images within the year folder, repeat the process a few more times, adjusting the criteria of similarity. Most duplicate finder software programs allow you to dial in or out the criteria for defining a match. Play with it a bit to see what results pan out.
Since it makes no sense to keep 2 identical images in your collection, deleting the ones that have a 100% degree of similarity is really a no-brainer and doesn't require any taxing decision-making on your part.
You can choose to move your deleted images directly into the trash, or move them to a "To Be Deleted" folder (if you prefer to place them in a holding area and delete everything at the end of the photo organizing project).
As you work your way down the list of images, you'll likely come across ones that are not 100% matches, but are similar enough that you're willing to part with one of them. Whenever possible, keep the image with the larger file size and let go of the other one. The larger the file size, typically the higher the photo quality/resolution.
Just because two images are rated with a low degree of similarity, doesn't mean that you are obligated to keep both photos. We often have many images that are taken in quick succession that capture essentially the same moment. Your job during the decluttering process is to make some tough choices to keep your image collection lean and mean.
When I came across this comparison, I asked myself "do I really need both of these images?" Nope. I chose the one that I thought was the best (in this case, the one on the right, since my son was actually smiling ever-so-slightly!).
Once I've completed the above-outlined de-duping process on each of the individual yearly folders, I then run my the master pictures folder (containing the entire core file structure) through the software program one last time. In theory, duplicates/similar pictures should be grouped together within a yearly folder, but conducting this one final run-through gives me peace of mind that I didn't miss anything.
Be sure to return later in the week to let me know about your progress in the comments, Facebook, or Instagram (use hashtag #DPOChallenge on Instagram).
You could do the de-duping first, but I find that running a massive amount of photos at one time through the de-duping software can be very overwhelming. It's a much more manageable process if you do it by monthly subfolder and that's why I have the steps in the order that they are in the Challenge.
I'm starting from week one! 🙂 Thanks for the series Natalie!
Awesome Autumn! Keep me posted on your progress and let me know how many digital images are in your collection when you start…I'm curious!
I haven't been able to work through the weekly steps, but this information is SO valuable! I will definitely be coming back when I'm ready to work on my collection.
The Challenge series will be here when you are ready Janet!


1954 Jaguar XK 120 roadster, first introduced at the 1948 Earle's Court Motor Show as a concept car. In it's day the XK-120 was the fastest production car in the world. The first couple of hundred cars were produced with an aluminum body and with a steel body thereafter. This was the first Jaguar sports car produced since the famous SS-100 of the thirties, and was continued through the years with improvements as an XK 140 and 150. The 120 signified the estimated top speed of the car,produced by the 160 HP six cylinder, double overhead camshaft engine.


LeBron James' buzzer beater sends another tough blow to the Raptors in the playoffs.
LeBron James continues to torment Toronto Raptors fans over and over again. After the Raptors battled back from being down by as many as 17 points to tie the game at 103 late in the fourth quarter.
Then the King broke their hearts again adding to his hall of fame highlight reel - year 15 and he continues to amaze.
The bigger picture for the series is the Raptors will now have to look to do something that no other team has done in NBA history - that's come back from a 3-0 deficit.
For the Raptors who've now lost nine straight playoff games to James and the Cavs, they'll be hoping for just one as Game 4 goes on Monday night.
O.G. Annouby and Pascal Siakim did as good a job as they possibly could to try and get LeBron off his game. They were far more physical with James in Game 3 and at times it appeared as though they were succeeding in frustrating him.
But in the end, they were never going to stop the King. James posted a game-high 38 points, six rebounds seven assists and the dagger that has put the Raptors in a 3-0 hole.
James was incredible in the Cavs sweep of the Raptors last season averaging 36 points, 8.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists on 57.3% from the field. In the three games so far this series he's averaging 35.7 points, 11.3 assists, 8.3 rebounds on 53.6% from the field - sometimes greatness is just too great to overcome.
The Raptors finished in the top six of the league in terms of taking care of the ball. They averaged 13.4 turnovers per game on route to their franchise-record 59 wins. In round one against the Washington Wizards, they were sloppy with the ball averaging 14.2 turns per game. The Wizards were never truly able to take advantage of the Raptors misplays and Toronto was able to escape in six games.
Toronto recorded 14 and 11 turnovers in Game 1 and 2 respectively - it didn't necessarily lead to many Cleveland fast break points (2 fast-break points, 11 points off turns), but it never allowed the Raptors to get any flow offensively. 17 turnovers were a series high on Saturday and once again it constantly stalled the Raptors offence and didn't let them get into a great rhythm all evening.
On the other side, the Cavs have only turned the ball over 19 times in three games.
It was all about pace and space in the regular season for the Raptors, and in both of the first two games, they recorded 26 dimes. They feel back to their old ways in Game 3 only managing to dish out 14 team assists.
They finally had some of their threes fall for them in the fourth quarter, they rebounded well enough to stay within striking distance all game long and even Serge Ibaka showed signs of a return to his regular form.
But far too often they relied on one-on-one plays and made life for the Cavs easy on defence. Old habits tend to die hard, and in Game 3 for Toronto that was the case.

Q: Where is "Allow website caches and databases" checkbox Registry key? I can't find this checkbox in the registry so I can have Desktop Authority write it to whatever it needs to be to be UNCHECKED.
I have perused many forums that address the changing of the flag/option on the first tab, IE this Stack article:
How to modify Internet Explorer temporary internet settings with registry?
BUTTTT What I truly want is the checkbox in this screenshot to be turned off (in the Caches and databases tab):

A: Further Googling did not offer anything but I went through the Registry one by one until I found the key in a spot completely different than the Internet Settings.
Key location:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\BrowserStorage\AppCache]
"AllowWebsiteCaches"=dword:00000000
Setting that as 1 or 0 changes the checkmark within the internet settings.  Silly me, thinking the same options panel would have registry keys in the same spot!  Thanks!

ESTV was the only TV that airs the news that was happening in the country of Ethiopia in General and that of Somali Region. Somali Region Set up this TV media for almost about a decade Ago. It was the first Somali Region owned TV and saved the Region from the one-hour late Programme of the sister TV of ETV. The TV of penetrating into the air of Arab site satellite by the name of ESTV. The Somali Region was paying thousands of US dolor rent to Arab site Satellite owned by the high-tech Countries every month.
ESTV aired many good things and scary things by using its young Journalists with their well skilled in Communications. The aim of the licensing this TV, was to air the whereabouts of the Country and the Region and to draw the attention of the Somali Region Diaspora; that used to hear the dreadful thing shadowed by good things and eager to hear something real that matters in their back home. Moreover; it was supposed to bring the investors in to the base of the region. So that they invest and create job opportunities in the and read the hearts and minds of the Somali region community in the region.
One of the Good things I remember that ESTV aired in its firs clean breathed air and how History will never forget the enormous attention and recourse given by the government of Somali region in under the age of ESTV IN filling the void vacated by Somali government in promoting and spreading Somali music, poetry and folklore.
But to my dismay and surprise of the elite and the innocent community witnessed later was that when ESTV took another way that seemed at times beyond reproach. The TV like a rouged soldier started airing propaganda, hatred message against anyone who stand the way of the dictating regime at that time in the region. I addition to that let alone to read the hearts and the minds of the community they claim to represent they bombarded on the innocent civilians who are lagging all kinds of service from the major part of the country.
LIKE THE NARRATIONS OF THE SOMALI WOMEN NARTAES WHEN THEY ARE WELCOMING SOME OCCASIONS OR PEOPLE THEY ADORE SAY: WUXIA HOUR WAA BILAASH HAMADA ****** KANJIRA. MEANING THE PREVIOUS IS WORTH ZERO, ********** IS ON THE AIR. LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE WHEN PRESIDENT MUSTAFA CAME TO POWER THEY SAID WUXIA HORE WAA BILAASHA HAWADA CAGJARBAA KU JIRA. THE PREVIOUS IS WORTH ZERO CAGJAR IS ON THE AIR.
Like that this kind of celebration, I said the voice of the diehard tv of ESTV to the voice of the voiceless of the SRTV is with the Changing Somali Region. To the fortunate of the Community that in the region a lot has changed about media here in the country, when the press is rescued from hanging to the arrival of the Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali came to power and President Mustafa Omer is selected from the thousands of all kind of different Somali Community gathered in to Addis Ababa and stepped on the upstairs of the of the office of the President.
The STRV is led by Abdirazak Adan (Ak Abdirizak Cadhays in Social media) is leading this visual Audio-Visual Media and I have every courage that he has background in this field he is leading on behalf and the Young Journalists airing their Precious Voice and good looking.
When this TV changed the tune, we got amazing that the Clock tuned 360 degree in no man's guesswork. It became the home of the where victims of the previous regimes but behind the pars and the entry point of the closure of the notorious Jail of Jeel Ogaadeen.
I joined and made my first choice in the televisions I watch. Started an excellent job of disclosure and start reading the minds and hearts of the Community that was filled their ears by arooskii qaranka and the like while the cattle were dying, harvest failed and community lost their means of everything (Animals) and images of hunger and human right abuse of the region was every where're in from Sitti to Gashamo to Garlagubay and the Entire Zone of Todays Doolo Zone.
Nowadays I saw that some of the Dulmidiid Prominent members are accusing SRTV and that is not what we are expecting at this stage and no time in the Future. I don't want my SRTV look back and need them to take the root they started and watch their back. Otherwise elites will have no option but to start telling your changed face tan iyo reerihii miyiga yaalay inaad xumaateen. No doubts that you will be in position always that you can serve the wills of the region that belong to it.
I want to cut my piece of writing here and thanks for the excellent job that everyone in the region from those tax payers to the Civil Servants, to the leaders is having its edge and taking the region forward from press point view as that of development endeavors and May God bless you all the time.


Who is to say what is authentic? A dictionary definition of authenticity is: "The condition of quality of being authentic, trustworthy or genuine". Authentic is "worthy of trust, reliance or belief". Trustworthy is "warranting trust, dependable, reliable". Genuine is as "authentic". If we take the above and apply it to the Martial Arts, we can then say that an art or system has authenticity if it is worthy of trust, dependable, reliable and it is known the character of the founder or producer.
Some say that a system has to be hundreds or thousands of years old to be authentic. If that being the case, where is the time where authenticity ends and "counterfeits, fakes and artificiality" begin? Whenever an individual takes an idea, modifies it and improves on it for the times or their own purpose, is it a counterfeit or an original? Is the modern day home, automobile or airplane a counterfeit of the first idea or is it a much improved version?
Tae Kwon Do and Jeet Kune Do, to name a couple, are less than 50 years old, but are they counterfeit or just another family from the same idea? Tang Soo Do practitioners might say that they are more original. And then you have Pankration and So on. How far back do you have to go? What about Vajramushti? It goes much farther back than Bodhidharma (Daruma, Pu Ti Ta Mo), so is Chuan Fa of the Shaolin Temple a counterfeit?
I really do not believe that it is the age of a system that makes it "authentic", but of the usable and effective value of a system built upon the tradition by which the original idea was born or developed. As with Tae Kwon Do, it has become a well recognized and respected martial art that is relatively new. So, whether a system is 1500 years old or 40 years old, it doesn't matter as long as it is functional and accepted by the populous as workable and effective. Some of the older systems are beginning to conform to more modern ideas, but is that to say that they are no longer authentic? I believe that if a system is able to compete against another system with positive results, it is worthy of acceptance and of being authentic in its design.

Becoming a profitable trader requires determination, hard work, and ongoing learning. There are plenty of resources on the web to help you learn specific trading strategies and setups, but there's also a handful of books every trader should read.
If you open a trading account at a forex broker like IG, you'll have access to lots educational resources. Those resources will teach you some of the techniques you can use to trade profitably. Reading books by trading veterans will give your trading career context and a broader perspective. The following three books will give you an idea of what it means to be a trader and how to understand the psychology of profitable trading.
The first book every trader should read is Reminisces of a Stock Operator by Edwin Lefèvre. This book recounts the career of legendary trader Jesse Livermore during the early 1900s. Livermore was a colorful character who made and lost a fortune three times trading stocks and commodities through the crash of 1929. The book will give you a good idea of the trials and tribulations a trader has to endure and make you more finance-savvy overall.
Market Wizards by Jack Schwager is a series of interviews with top performing traders. It's actually the first in a series of four books but is regarded by many as the best of the four. Jack Schwager has a knack for uncovering the source of each trader's success. He also does a good job of highlighting the common traits of successful traders despite each having a unique and different approach.
Michael Lewis has written several bestselling books about financial markets, including The Big Short and Flash Boys. But, it was his first book, Liar's Poker, that put him on the map. The book is a first-hand account of life as a trader on the bond trading desk at Salomon Brothers in the late 1980s. It's a unique account of the inner workings of a Wall Street trading desk. Liar's Poker is essential reading for anyone wanting to know how markets really operate.
Trading in The Zone by Mark Douglas is regarded by many as the best book to read on trading psychology. The book explores the mental mindset that winning trader's need to have in order to succeed. Traders have to endure periods of loss and self-doubt, without losing focus. Trading in the Zone teaches aspiring traders how to maintain the right state of mind regardless of what their P&L looks like.
Fooled by Randomness, by Nassim Taleb is not really a book about trading, though Taleb himself is a trader. The book is about the role chance and luck play in our lives and careers. Understanding probability is essential for any trader. This book is an excellent introduction to probability and the tendency people have to see patterns in a random series of events.
These three books will give any aspiring trader an introduction to what it means to be a trader, how to develop a winning mindset and how to approach the markets they trade. The next step is to learn profitable techniques and develop the skill to generate profits consistently.

Home Government Orange County shines in national solar recognition program
Orange County shines in national solar recognition program
From the Orange County Newsroom
For its efforts in making solar power easier to obtain and more affordable for residents and businesses to install, Orange County Government has recently been awarded Gold-level recognition from the U.S. Department of Energy-sponsored program known as SolSmart.
SolSmart is a national nonprofit designation and technical assistance program that recognizes leading solar communities and empowers them to expand local solar markets. SolSmart strives to cut red tape, expand solar availability and make it possible for more American homes and businesses to access solar energy to meet their electricity needs.
"We are thrilled that Orange County has been recognized for its commitment to streamline, and to help so many residents and business owners go solar," said Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs. "Our successful solar co-ops are a testament to our dedication to sustainability, as well as the hard work and commitment of our staff. Florida's outlook is bright for solar and Orange County's solar co-ops are helping to lead the way."
To achieve this designation, Orange County has optimized its permitting process to speed approvals, provided specialized training to its plan reviewers and inspectors, and offered the convenience of online permitting. Solar permits are typically approved within 24 hours.
Orange County has also invested in the expansion of residential solar by teaming up with Solar United Neighbors of Florida and launching solar co-ops. This co-op model allows interested residents the opportunity to leverage significant savings in a bulk contract with solar providers. Its first solar co-op in the summer of 2016 had a record-setting 515 participants and was the state's largest and most successful endeavor of its kind at that time. Of those households, 79 installed solar through the co-op, including Orange County Mayor Jacobs and her family.
Within the last two years, 2.2 megawatts of solar capacity has been installed on 235 homes around Orange County. That's a $4.6 million dollar economic investment in Central Florida and a carbon offset of more than 86 million pounds.
These significant investments in permit streamlining and residential assistance through co-ops have allowed Orange County to be the first County in the state of Florida to receive Gold-level designation for its solar efforts.
To learn more about solar energy, visit the Orange County Solar and Clean Energy webpage at www.ocfl.net/solar or contact epd@ocfl.net or 407-836-1400.

A protective signet ring of mighty god Odin
When choosing a ring for yourself or as a gift, there are two things you shouldn't overlook – quality material and recognizable design that makes you feel special. The protective signet ring inspired by Vikings is just what every man and woman need to highlight their meaningful look.
The exclusive signet rings are custom-made from Italian bronze or Silver 925 solids (according to your preference) by hand casting. The Norse mythology admires will be impressed by the symbolism that is in the base of this ring. In the center of the signet ring, there is stunningly engraved Mask of Odin. Pagans have been using this symbol as a protection for centuries due to its deep connection to All-Farther. Moreover, there are legendary Odin's ravens (Huginn and Muginn) depicted on the both profiles of the ring. As a loyal messengers they were performing an important mission of delivering information to the God's ear. From the Old Norse the names interpret as "thought" and "memory". Thus, wearing a ring with these symbols help the owner to channel his mind and thoughts into right diction.
Whether you prefer Nordic, Norse, Viking, Pagan or Scandinavian jewelry, this signet ring will make a perfect addition to your historical look. Remember, this is more than a ring, as it represents one of the most powerful Viking beliefs.

Q: How can I use inverse or negative wildcards when pattern matching in a unix/linux shell? Say I want to copy the contents of a directory excluding files and folders whose names contain the word 'Music'.
cp [exclude-matches] *Music* /target_directory

What should go in place of [exclude-matches] to accomplish this?

A: A trick I haven't seen on here yet that doesn't use extglob, find, or grep is to treat two file lists as sets and "diff" them using comm:
comm -23 <(ls) <(ls *Music*)

comm is preferable over diff because it doesn't have extra cruft.
This returns all elements of set 1, ls, that are not also in set 2, ls *Music*. This requires both sets to be in sorted order to work properly. No problem for ls and glob expansion, but if you're using something like find, be sure to invoke sort.
comm -23 <(find . | sort) <(find . | grep -i '.jpg' | sort)

Potentially useful.

A: You can also use a pretty simple for loop:
for f in `find . -not -name "*Music*"`
do
    cp $f /target/dir
done

A: In bash, an alternative to shopt -s extglob is the GLOBIGNORE variable. It's not really better, but I find it easier to remember.
An example that may be what the original poster wanted:
GLOBIGNORE="*techno*"; cp *Music* /only_good_music/

When done, unset GLOBIGNORE to be able to rm *techno* in the source directory.

A: In Bash you can do it by enabling the extglob option, like this (replace ls with cp and add the target directory, of course)
~/foobar> shopt extglob
extglob        off
~/foobar> ls
abar  afoo  bbar  bfoo
~/foobar> ls !(b*)
-bash: !: event not found
~/foobar> shopt -s extglob  # Enables extglob
~/foobar> ls !(b*)
abar  afoo
~/foobar> ls !(a*)
bbar  bfoo
~/foobar> ls !(*foo)
abar  bbar

You can later disable extglob with
shopt -u extglob

A: My personal preference is to use grep and the while command. This allows one to write powerful yet readable scripts ensuring that you end up doing exactly what you want. Plus by using an echo command you can perform a dry run before carrying out the actual operation. For example:
ls | grep -v "Music" | while read filename
do
echo $filename
done

will print out the files that you will end up copying. If the list is correct the next step is to simply replace the echo command with the copy command as follows:
ls | grep -v "Music" | while read filename
do
cp "$filename" /target_directory
done

A: One solution for this can be found with find.
$ mkdir foo bar
$ touch foo/a.txt foo/Music.txt
$ find foo -type f ! -name '*Music*' -exec cp {} bar \;
$ ls bar
a.txt

Find has quite a few options, you can get pretty specific on what you include and exclude.
Edit: Adam in the comments noted that this is recursive.  find options mindepth and maxdepth can be useful in controlling this.

A: The following works lists all *.txt files in the current dir, except those that begin with a number.
This works in bash, dash, zsh and all other POSIX compatible shells.
for FILE in /some/dir/*.txt; do    # for each *.txt file
    case "${FILE##*/}" in          #   if file basename...
        [0-9]*) continue ;;        #   starts with digit: skip
    esac
    ## otherwise, do stuff with $FILE here
done

*

*In line one the pattern /some/dir/*.txt will cause the for loop to iterate over all files in /some/dir whose name end with .txt.

*In line two a case statement is used to weed out undesired files. – The ${FILE##*/} expression strips off any leading dir name component from the filename (here /some/dir/) so that patters can match against only the basename of the file. (If you're only weeding out filenames based on suffixes, you can shorten this to $FILE instead.)

*In line three, all files matching the case pattern [0-9]*) line will be skipped (the continue statement jumps to the next iteration of the for loop). – If you want to you can do something more interesting here, e.g. like skipping all files which do not start with a letter (a–z) using [!a-z]*, or you could use multiple patterns to skip several kinds of filenames e.g. [0-9]*|*.bak to skip files both .bak files, and files which does not start with a number.

A: Not in bash (that I know of), but:
cp `ls | grep -v Music` /target_directory

I know this is not exactly what you were looking for, but it will solve your example.

A: The extglob shell option gives you more powerful pattern matching in the command line.
You turn it on with shopt -s extglob, and turn it off with shopt -u extglob.
In your example, you would initially do:
$ shopt -s extglob
$ cp !(*Music*) /target_directory

The full available extended globbing operators are (excerpt from man bash):

If  the  extglob  shell option is enabled using the shopt builtin, several extended
  pattern matching operators are recognized.A pattern-list  is  a list of one or more patterns separated by a |.  Composite patterns may be formed using one or more of the following sub-patterns:

*

*?(pattern-list)
  Matches zero or one occurrence of the given patterns

**(pattern-list)
  Matches zero or more occurrences of the given patterns

*+(pattern-list)
  Matches one or more occurrences of the given patterns

*@(pattern-list)
  Matches one of the given patterns

*!(pattern-list)
  Matches anything except one of the given patterns

So, for example, if you wanted to list all the files in the current directory that are not .c or .h files, you would do:
$ ls -d !(*@(.c|.h))

Of course, normal shell globing works, so the last example could also be written as:
$ ls -d !(*.[ch])

A: If you want to avoid the mem cost of using the exec command, I believe you can do better with xargs. I think the following is a more efficient alternative to
find foo -type f ! -name '*Music*' -exec cp {} bar \; # new proc for each exec

find . -maxdepth 1 -name '*Music*' -prune -o -print0 | xargs -0 -i cp {} dest/

A: this would do it excluding exactly 'Music'
cp -a ^'Music' /target

this and that for excluding things like Music?* or *?Music
cp -a ^\*?'complete' /target
cp -a ^'complete'?\* /target

"My mom, for some reason, asked me to take a pregnancy test," Celeste said. "(Moms) always seem to know. I went to the store and got two tests, and sure enough I was pregnant. I couldn't wait, so I called my boyfriend immediately even though he was working at the time."
Celeste made her debut as a UFC octagon girl in 2006 and has been among the most popular ring girls ever, having won "Ring Girl of the Year" a record five times at the World MMA Awards.
