I believe it's safe to say that most men and women love a window over the kitchen sink. But place that window over a bathroom sink, and that I believe most people would find this to be a defect. A mirror directly above the sink is pretty convenient — you can see exactly what you're doing when you brush your teeth or shave your face. So if you've got a window instead, what can you do? Check out 16 baths where that window over the sink is not a flaw, but a feature.
This marble vanity stands within a bay window, and the mirror was designed to be suspended in the front of this window. What an impressive and luxurious space. The window is definitely a characteristic of the toilet, and functionality is handled beautifully.
Are you ready for some imaginative genius? This mirror slides on a track so that when it is positioned over the sink it reveals that a medicine cabinet. Developed by Malcolm David Architecture and constructed by Mueller Nichols Cabinets & Construction, this can be a totally custom piece.
This long, horizontal window operating over the entire counter area lets abundant light into the toilet while mirrors are placed at intervals in front of it. Fluorescent lights inset into the mirrors provide light at face level.
This round mirror is held in place by a metal pole attached to either side of this window. In the morning, you'd have wonderful natural light emitting your face from all over, so you can see yourself while enjoying the view, too.
These mirrors are attached above and under the top of the backsplash and a customized header. See that the electrical has been run through the header, and wall sconces are dangled out of it involving the mirrors. So, they have ample natural light during the day and extra lighting around the face level when it's needed.
There's something to be said for its simplest and low-tech approach. A freestanding makeup mirror keeps this window completely unobstructed for sun and the opinion. What a cheerful place to start the morning.
A large freestanding mirror solves the problem by standing directly behind the vessel sink. The faucet is offset to the right.
This easy swing-arm mirror is simple to pull into place when it's needed. And it can be pushed out of the way when you're more interested in gazing off into the distance during your morning ablutions.
Attached to the side wall, that this mirror does double duty as a practical piece and sculptural accent. Oh, I would love standing there looking out at the greenery.
Hanging a framed mirror from the ceiling is befitting the conventional style and Old-World charm of this bathroom vanity.
This bath is firmly tucked into one of my own inspiration ideabooks for favored baths. A massive field of glass block allows in abundant light while maintaining privacy. Flat metal bars running from backsplash to ceiling hold the mirrors set up.
In the front of the glass block in this toilet, medicine cabinets with mirrored doors and lights are attached to a metal frame at the ceiling and countertops. Not only do you've got the light and mirror, but your toiletries are within handy reach too.
Shoji screens gently filter light in this modern Asian-style bathroom. The mirror is placed inside the window frame, and pendant lights dangled from the ceiling put the light directly where it's needed to either side of this mirror.
Here's another great example of a traditional bathroom with an oval mirror hung in the front of the window. Simple is good.
A toiletry shelf over the vanity is the best place to prop a tiny mirror and enjoy sunlight in your face.

« Le Monde » caught red-handed for misinformation on Phonegate
by phonegate | 5 Aug 2018 | News
Yesterday, 31 May 2018, the internet site of the newspaper Le Monde published an article entitled « Ondes magnétiques : quatre smartphones épinglés ». This article written by the journalist Nicolas Six raises the issue of editorial independence when it comes to subjects relating to the mobile telephony industry.
For the record, the title had been purchased in 2010 by businessmen Xavier Niel (Iliad/Free Telecommunications Group), Matthieu Pigasse (CEO of Lazard Bank France) and Pierre Bergé. Since Pierre Bergé's death in 2017, Mr. Niel and Mr. Pigasse have held 72.5% of the capital of the Le Monde group.
In the first version of the article published at 3.45 p.m., Le Monde writes: "These exceedances do not signal a divergence on the part of manufacturers, but rather the tightening of SAR[1] (specific absorption rate) measurements" under the explicit heading "No worsening of the problem."
This has the merit of clarity and, to support this implacable assertion, Le Monde is embarking on an attempt to adopt all the wording of the manufacturers in the sector, assisted with complacency by Mr Gilles Brégant, Director General of the National Frequencies Agency (ANFR).
In fourteen lines, Le Monde manages to make one factual error per line. We wonder who took the care to verify the elements from its sources… Indeed :
1. Le Monde indicates a measuring distance of the manufacturers "at a range between 0 and 25 mm". In fact, this distance was from 15 to 25 mm up until June 2016. It is precisely this distance which has allowed the manufacturers to overexpose hundreds of millions of users for over 20 years, endangering their health and safety.
2. The European Commission effectively launched a warning in April 2016 and not in "2017". Above all, it never "set a distance of 5 mm". For the SAR "limbs" it imposes a measurement at 0 mm from the skin and for the SAR "trunk" a measurement at a few millimeters from the skin. This is one of the points we have been fighting since its entry into force.
3. The article climaxes with, "the threshold of 2W/kg was set taking into account a large safety margin"… "this figure being fifty times lower than the threshold observed by the researchers." Yes, but that is totally false, the journalist having confused two SARs which have nothing to do with one another, the whole body SAR, and the SAR at contact. To support this affirmation, it cites a report from the Consumer Safety Commission, published in 2008 and not, as written, in "2017", and which the journalist has simply misinterpreted.
Reading this article, Dr. Marc Arazi, President of Phonegate Alert, reached the journalist by phone to share with him all of his remarks. After various exchanges by phone and SMS, the journalist, not convinced by these arguments, told Dr. Arazi without batting an eyelid: "the article was read again by Gilles Brégant". Astonished, to say the least, Dr. Arazi made him repeat the words. Confirmation of the interested party, sure of his facts.
There followed new SMS exchanges. Faced with the evidence, the journalist of Le Monde wrote an SMS to Dr Arazi at 7.06 p.m.: "I have cut out the problematic passage. It will be updated by the correctors within the hour. And I contacted Pierre Le Hir."
At 8.11 p.m., a new version was on line on the site of Le Monde. The passage had indeed been removed but the general sense of the article remains the same, and does not make any mention of the exchanges with our president which prompted the update of the article.
But are we satisfied? Absolutely not when we discover that a leading newspaper like Le Monde can in this way destroy the international work of alerting and protecting public health carried out over the past two years against one of the most powerful lobbies on the planet.
On 23 December 2016, Pierre Le Hir, scientific journalist of Le Monde, had published a reference article on the subject entitled: "Soupçons sur les ondes des téléphones portables". He was the first to use the term "Phonegate", which has since become the reference for this new industrial and health scandal. Yes, but Pierre Le Hir, with whom we have been in regular contact since then, has not written a line in seventeen months.
As you can see from these facts, the readers of Le Monde seem to be reduced to the choice today, of no longer being informed or to be misinformed. It is a sad reality that we all suffer the consequences which are potentially dramatic when they also directly affect the health of millions of mobile phone users.
We see in what is happening a big blow cutting deep into the confidence of its readers. Attention, we know that there are many great journalists in the world who do quality work to inform and enlighten us on the state of society. But the question we ask publicly: Is Le Monde still independent enough to speak about the public health issues related to Phonegate?

After your pregnancy , you may be in a hurry to lose weight to finally find your fine line . Above all, do not go too fast. You should not take any chances for your health because it could affect that of baby.
Help yourself with our advice to lose up to 17 pounds after giving birth.
With birth, you have lost the weight of the baby, placenta and amniotic fluid, and your body begins to recover (decrease in the volume of the uterus, blood, breasts, etc.). A weight loss that can be around 10 kg, so that there are only 7 left to eliminate.
You must first remember to recover from your fatigue and adapt to your new lifestyle with your baby. Do not diet if you are breastfeeding: breastfeeding is exhausting for your body and makes you lose weight naturally .
Instead, bet on a diet rich in vegetables : they keep you in line and thanks to their antioxidants, they have a positive effect against fatigue and stress .
You should avoid eating starchy foods at dinner. A little meat (white preferably) or fish and a light salad, but no heavy meal in the evening. You can also have a seasonal fruit salad at dinner or a vegetable soup.
Take dairy products to avoid the calcium deficiency you need. Cook yourself, with fresh and good quality ingredients, and make sure to hydrate yourself.
When to start a diet?
From the third month after birth, you can begin to review your diet by lightening it, without coming to a rate of calories too low. If you are still tired, do not force it: remember that breastfeeding draws on stored fat stores during pregnancy.
Do not make too restrictive a diet : it will require a lot of motivation , and you risk to take again those kilos right after.
After giving birth, you can walk as a sport. But wait for perineal re-education before resuming more demanding physical activity. You can then return to the pool: swimming will relax you while helping to reach your goal . In the water, you can do many exercises without danger to the joints. Add to that cycling, jogging or yoga.
After giving birth, your body has been sufficiently upset, so it would be wise not to rush it again. To lose weight permanently after pregnancy, a good dose of motivation and patience will help you and you will lose those pounds in a few months . And if you want to go faster, take the trouble to seek medical advice.


"These long-term results suggest that 80 percent of newly diagnosed patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia receiving IMBRUVICA monotherapy sustained remission through seven years without chemotherapy. Together with the iLLUMINATE study findings, these data provide compelling evidence to consider IMBRUVICA as a single agent or combination option for appropriate newly diagnosed patients with CLL," said Craig Tendler, M.D., Vice President, Clinical Development and Global Medical Affairs, Janssen Research & Development, LLC. "Since its first approval more than five years ago, IMBRUVICA has been regarded as an important treatment in CLL, and we continue to study and pursue its full potential across the spectrum of blood cancers through our comprehensive clinical development programs."
The iLLUMINATE data were presented today in an oral session at the 2018 American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and simultaneously published in The Lancet Oncology. On October 16, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Priority Review for a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) seeking to expand the use of IMBRUVICA to include combination with obinutuzumab in CLL/SLL.
At a median follow-up of 31.3 months, IMBRUVICA plus obinutuzumab significantly prolonged the Independent Review Committee (IRC)-assessed PFS compared with chlorambucil plus obinutuzumab (median not reached [NR] vs. 19.0 months; HR 0.23; 95 percent confidence interval [CI]: 0.15-0.37; P<0.0001), with a 77 percent reduction in risk of progression or death.
Superior PFS in the IMBRUVICA plus obinutuzumab arm compared to the chlorambucil plus obinutuzumab arm was also seen in the high-risk population, including those with unmutated IGHV, del11q, del17p and/or TP53 mutation, with an 85 percent reduction in risk of progression or death (median NR vs. 14.7 months; HR 0.15; 95 percent CI: 0.09-0.27; P<0.0001). In addition, IRC-assessed overall response rate (ORR) was higher in the IMBRUVICA plus obinutuzumab arm versus the chlorambucil plus obinutuzumab arm (88 percent vs. 73 percent); complete response (CR)/complete response with incomplete blood recovery (CRi) rates were also higher with 19 percent versus 8 percent, respectively. Minimal residual disease (MRD) was undetectable in blood and/or bone marrow (<10-4 by flow cytometry) for 35 percent of patients treated with IMBRUVICA plus obinutuzumab, compared to 25 percent of patients treated with chlorambucil plus obinutuzumab. Overall survival (OS) rates at 31 months were 86 percent for the IMBRUVICA plus obinutuzumab arm compared to 85 percent for the chlorambucil plus obinutuzumab arm.
The most common Grade 3 or higher adverse events (AEs) in the IMBRUVICA plus obinutuzumab arm versus chlorambucil plus obinutuzumab arm were neutropenia (43 percent vs. 63 percent), thrombocytopenia (35 percent vs. 25 percent), diarrhea (34 percent vs. 10 percent), cough (27 percent vs. 12 percent), infusion-related reactions (IRRs; 25 percent vs. 58 percent), arthralgia (22 percent vs. 10 percent), pyrexia (19 percent vs. 26 percent), anemia (17 percent vs. 25 percent), and nausea (12 percent vs. 30 percent). No patients discontinued obinutuzumab due to IRRs in the IMBRUVICA plus obinutuzumab arm compared to the chlorambucil plus obinutuzumab arm (6 percent). AEs led to the discontinuation of IMBRUVICA in 16 percent of patients and led to the discontinuation of chlorambucil in 9 percent of patients. AEs led to the discontinuation of obinutuzumab in the IMBRUVICA plus obinutuzumab arm (9 percent) and chlorambucil plus obinutuzumab arm (13 percent). With about three years of follow-up, 70 percent of patients in the IMBRUVICA plus obinutuzumab arm remain on IMBRUVICA monotherapy.
"With 2.5 years of follow-up, results from the iLLUMINATE study showed significantly prolonged progression-free survival of IMBRUVICA plus obinutuzumab versus a commonly used chemoimmunotherapy regimen in chronic lymphocytic leukemia," said Carol Moreno, M.D., Ph.D., Consultant Hematologist, Hospital de la Santa Creu Sant Pau, Autonomous University of Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain, and lead investigator of the iLLUMINATE study. "IMBRUVICA plus obinutuzumab represents an important advance and a welcome potential new combination regimen for patients living with CLL."
iLLUMINATE (PCYC-1130) evaluated newly diagnosed patients with CLL/SLL who were randomized to receive IMBRUVICA 420 mg once-daily continuously until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity in combination with obinutuzumab 1000 mg intravenously over 6 cycles (n=113), or chlorambucil on Days 1 and 15 of each cycle plus obinutuzumab 1000 mg intravenously over 6 cycles (n=116). Median age of the patients was 71 years and 65 percent of the patients had high-risk genomic features.
With up to seven years of follow-up, the studies (Phase 1b/2, PCYC-1102 and its extension, PCYC-1103) evaluated newly diagnosed and R/R patients with CLL/SLL (n=132; newly diagnosed=31, R/R=101), including those with high-risk features who received 420 mg or 840 mg once-daily IMBRUVICA until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. As of the cutoff, 55 percent of newly diagnosed and 21 percent of R/R patients continued IMBRUVICA with median follow-up of 67 months.
Results from these studies showed durable efficacy of IMBRUVICA in newly diagnosed and R/R patients with CLL/SLL. These long-term data showed sustained PFS and OS rates. The estimated seven-year PFS rates were 80 percent for patients with newly diagnosed disease and 32 percent for patients with R/R disease. Notably, administering IMBRUVICA in earlier lines of therapy resulted in improved PFS outcomes for R/R patients.
ORR was 89 percent for all patients (CR, 15 percent) with similar rates in newly diagnosed (87 percent [CR, 32 percent]) and R/R CLL/SLL patients (89 percent [CR, 10 percent]). Median duration of response (DOR) was NR (95 percent CI: 0+-85+) for newly diagnosed CLL/SLL patients and was 57 months (95 percent CI: 0+-85+) for R/R CLL/SLL patients. Median PFS was NR (95 percent CI: NE, NE) for newly diagnosed CLL/SLL patients and was 51 months (95 percent CI: 37-70) for R/R CLL/SLL patients. The median OS was NR in newly diagnosed (95 percent CI: 80-NE) or R/R CLL/SLL patients (95 percent CI: 63-NE) with estimated 7-year OS rates of 75 percent and 52 percent, respectively.
Grade 3 or higher AEs were reported in 74 percent of newly diagnosed and 89 percent of R/R patients with CLL/SLL. Hypertension (newly diagnosed, 32 percent; R/R, 26 percent), diarrhea (newly diagnosed, 16 percent; R/R, 4 percent), and hyponatremia (newly diagnosed, 10 percent; R/R, 0 percent) were among the most common Grade 3 or higher treatment-emergent AEs. Major hemorrhage and Grade 3 or higher atrial fibrillation, thrombocytopenia, anemia, and arthralgia were observed in 11 percent or less of newly diagnosed and R/R patients. In addition, infections (newly diagnosed, 23 percent; R/R, 55 percent) was more common in R/R CLL/SLL patients. No new or unexpected AEs were observed, and the occurrence of most Grade 3 or higher AEs and serious AEs decreased over time, with the exception of hypertension.

Panic and protest over East River Park-closure plan
The Villager: At a June 11 public hearing about the city's East Side Coastal Resiliency plan, Lower East Side residents mostly disapproved of the current flood-protection plan and called for more community input into the process.
Held by the Community Board 3 Parks, Recreation, Waterfront & Resiliency Committee, the meeting was part of the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) for the application submitted for the plan. The full board of C.B. 3 will ultimately weigh in with its advisory opinion on the proposed project as part of the public-review process.
The scheme would raise East River Park by about 8 to 9 feet.
Before the evening hearing started at P.S./M.S. 188, The Island School, at 442 E. Houston St., opponents decried the plan at a rally organized by the East River Alliance.
Speakers expressed concerns about the impact on air quality by the project's construction and also asked for a deck to be built over the F.D.R. Drive to create more park space. There were also calls for a longer-term plan beyond the currently proposed protections, which are geared toward 2050 projected water levels.
Also speaking at the rally was Laura Sewell, executive director of the East Village Community Coalition. She called for an independent, third-party panel of experts to comprehensively evaluate the city's plan, and to request needed data about it and provide updates to the public.
"Given how critical the project is to our community," she said, "and how many questions remain unanswered as the plan barrels forward, we deserve nothing less." Read more>>

On August 2, 2021 July 30, 2021 By NCIn Communication, On Philosophy
In Plato's dialogue Phaedrus (a version of its translation available here), Socrates discusses the merits of rhetoric as the art of speaking. He wants to establish whether rhetoric, as practised and taught in Athens by the orators at the time and understood as "a way of directing the soul by means of speech" (we could say – persuading), is indeed an art, noble and just, or rather "an artless practice".

It is, of course, clear from the outset what the conviction of Socrates is. The value of this dialogue lies in Plato's use of it as an instrument to guide the way – the logical argumentation – that leads to the position held by Socrates. Namely, that rhetoric as it was known in Athens of the day is indeed an artless practice and those claiming to teach it as an art of speaking and writing are ignorant of the true nature of their subject. This is key. The fundamental position from which Socrates starts and to which he returns, albeit in a more extensive manner, is that "someone who is to speak well and nobly" should "have in mind the truth about the subject he is going to discuss".
The dialogue begins in earnest when Socrates' interlocutor Phaedrus objects that, from what he has heard, a successful orator does not need to know what really is just, good or noble, but only what will seem so to those listening to him, for his goal is to persuade (direct their souls by his speech, as Socrates poetically puts is), and persuasion needs not to proceed from the truth, but merely appear to do so. I don't think that Socrates or Plato who wrote the dialogue were so naive to deny this. Most of us have experienced one public figure or another who manages to come across as very persuasive, regardless of whether their message is true or not.
It does not take the truth to persuade us. We need to believe that what we're hearing or reading is true. People do not like to feel deceived. However, if a claim seems true to us, we will find it very hard not to believe it. Whether such practice of rhetoricians of Socrates' Athens is "artless" or art of persuasion, depends on perspective. It is not surprising that for Plato and Socrates, philosophers or "lovers of wisdom" as they were, anything that distorts or plays with the true nature of things, or, even worse, does not care about it at all, falls far too short of the main virtues of being just, true and, therefore, noble. Measured by the standard of a philosopher, rhetorical speeches given by orators at law courts or in political gatherings do not bring one closer to wisdom, to the truth.
Thus, students of rhetoric are not equipped with reliable methods of learning the truth, methods like dialectic that Socrates praises in the dialogue. The philosopher believes that if one follows the path of logical argumentation (the dialectic), it will necessarily lead to the recognition of truth and to distinguishing it from mere opinion. The importance of this for the philosopher cannot be understated. This core belief characterises much of philosophy and its search for certain knowledge.
Nowadays, we would probably say that such rhetoric as Socrates discusses in the dialogue cannot be called a science. Perhaps some would even call it a pseudoscientific project, especially if it aims to deceive with false certainty. But 'science' as a concept arrived on the scene long after Socrates and all other Greek philosophers were gone. So maybe it is in this sense that we should understand Socrates' criticism of rhetoric – or the art of persuasion – as an "artless practice". Art being only that which brings its student and practitioner closer to the truth, that noble value, offering a sound theoretical foundation in proper thinking instead of 'how-to-in-X-steps' type of shortcuts.
This is the end of part 1 of a 3-part series on the topic. Next week in part two I will explore in more detail some of the ideas that can be gathered from Plato's dialogue Phaedrus on what can be considered the art of thinking.

The UZI and the Czechoslovakian series Sa 23 to Sa 26 were the first weapons to use a telescoping bolt design, in which the bolt wraps around the breech end of the barrel. This allows the barrel to be moved far back into the receiver and the magazine to be housed in the pistol grip, allowing for a heavier, slower-firing bolt in a shorter, better-balanced weapon. The pistol grip is fitted with a grip safety, making it difficult to fire accidentally. It was built in Belgium under license for export to Germany and Iran. Croatia manufactured unlicensed copies of the Uzi and Micro-Uzi called the ERO and Mini ERO respectively. Mini- and Micro-Uzi submachine guns are produced either in open-bolt or closed-bolt versions.
The MP UZI is found in 78 countries according to our data.

COP23 – The Goings On in Bonn Today – 16/11/17
> Blog > Uncategorized > COP23 – The Goings On in Bonn Today – 16/11/17
Our Founder is out at COP23 this week, so here is a round up of the main stories coming out of Bonn during this pivotal COP:
'Coal is not coming back' as leading economies sign up to Powering Past Coal Alliance
The UK and Canada have joined with 25 other nations and regional states to launch a new global alliance aimed at phasing out coal-fired power and weaning the world off the most carbon intensive form of electricity generation. The new group was officially launched on the sidelines of the COP23 Summit in Bonn on Tuesday, confirming that Mexico, France, Finland, New Zealand, Italy, and Denmark have all joined the alliance.

Solar Impulse clears efficiency campaign for take-off
Fresh from completing the world's first round-the-world solar powered flight, The Solar Impulse Foundation yesterday launched a new initiative on the aidelines of the COP23 Summit in Bonn to promote 1,000 solutions "that can protect the environment in a profitable way". Dubbed the World Alliance for Efficient Solutions, the aim of the new campaign is to present selected clean technologies to decision makers at the COP24 UN summit in Poland next year in a bid to encourage them to adopt more ambitious environmental targets and clean energy policies.

Women Rising Up on Sustainable Energy and Ending Energy Poverty
If we're serious about ending energy poverty for the world's most marginalized populations, more women need to be involved. Lots of them. Throughout the energy value chain. And they need financial support, too. That's the genesis for yesterday's groundbreaking launch of the People-Centered Accelerator, a global initiative that aims to advance gender equality, social inclusion and women's empowerment in sustainable energy. The effort, announced on Gender Day at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP23), is being led by Sustainable Energy for All and more than 40 partners from government, civil society, private sector, finance and non-government organizations from across the world.

Bonn climate summit: India and other developing countries score a victory
India, China and other members of the Like-Minded Developing Countries group won a big victory at the Bonn climate change summit on Wednesday. After a week of bitter negotiations, they ensured that developed countries will have to report on what they will do by 2020 to protect the world against climate change.

Check out the latest Twitter news from COP23 about #resilience – some great discussions on how we can build more resilient nations and communities to stand up to climate change:
COP blog: Transparency high on the agenda for investors
Amid the heat and light that flooded the UN Climate negotiations of December 2015 and the resulting Paris Agreement, there was another significant event held in the margins of that historic fortnight. At this, Bank of England Governor Mark Carney, in his role as Chair of the Financial Stability Board (the international body that monitors and makes recommendations about the financial system), announced a new voluntary private sector-led global taskforce that would identify the kind of financial information necessary for the providers of capital to judge the exposure of companies to risks arising from climate change.

Blog: How RE100 members are going beyond their own operations to engage suppliers on renewable power
Following a call to action to companies by The Climate Group's CEO Helen Clarkson earlier this year, the Head of RE100, Sam Kimmins, blogs on the release of new guidance for businesses looking to implement a renewable electricity program throughout their supply chain. Bold targets like 100% renewable energy are fast becoming the norm for many companies, with RE100 members at the leading edge through commitments to 100% renewable power.

GOJHL Officially Cancels 2020-2021 Season
Carson Noble of the Chatham Maroons – Photo by CKSN.ca
There will be no 2020-2021 GOJHL season. This was a reality that many anticipated, but now it is official.
The GOJHL has made the difficult and unfortunate decision to cancel the 2020-21 season. There was never ending hope that we would be able to somehow manage a safe and responsible 2020-21 hockey season. However, with the Ontario Government issuing yet another "Stay-at-home" order, effective through at least May 6th, there simply is no way of completing any kind of meaningful season. All recreational facilities have been closed to the public, and most towns or cities are now in the process of taking their ice out.
"The Covid-19 pandemic has been devastating to all Ontarians for so many reasons. Our front-line workers have certainly endured the greatest challenges and losses but our devoted athletes, coaches and staff who live for the game have lost as well," said GOJHL Commissioner Brent Garbutt.
"At this time, we will focus our attention on planning for a successful return in the 2021-22 season, knowing full-well that we are not yet out of this pandemic and there will be more obstacles to overcome in the future."

With the image quality of "pro-sumer" cameras like the Red and Sony EX3, the editing power of Final Cut, and "experimental" contracts with the guilds, the cost barriers to "real" film-making are tumbling down. The downside is that most of these privately financed movies will never be seen outside of a small circle of friends. Of the 5,000 plus indie features submitted to Sundance last year, only 100 were chosen. Fewer than six received any significant theatrical distribution. More movies, fewer distributors. The U.S. marketplace may be permanently glutted. What's the answer for indie filmmakers? How can you help your film beat the odds? Get the view from the trenches in session with top executives and experts on acquisition, marketing and distribution.

Tyler Perry To Play Alex Cross In New Film For Rob Cohen
Can Tyler Perry fill Moran Freeman's shoes as Alex Cross in a reboot of the franchise? Keep reading for all of the details and my thoughts on the news.
Tyler Perry is set to star in an adaptation of the James Patterson novel I, Alex Cross to be directed by Rob Cohen which is planned as a trilogy. The film will serve as a reboot of the mystery series that starred Morgan Freeman as the detective/psychologist based in D.C.
The project is close to getting a distribution deal. It will likely be grabbed up by Paramount, the distributor of Kiss the Girls and Along Came A Spider. Perry has a great relationship with Lionsgate, so they may be interested. steps up, especially since the studio collects a distribution fee on pictures that Perry owns.
The project was initially designed as a vehicle for actor Idris Elba, who was going to play the character in the novel Cross, with David Twohy helming. This project with Perry in the lead only recently came into the forefront. Perry's films have a strong female following where as the Cross mysteries are action mystery appealing to a male viewing audience. Star Trek was the only film that Perry starred int that he did not direct, making this a radical departure for Perry.
The choice for Rob Cohen as the director is also an interesting one. He has launched both the XxX and The Fast and the Furious franchises. So a mystery film is a slight departure for Cohen. I would much rather see Elba in this role, he is a much more accomplished actor in my opinion. It will be interesting to see if Perry can break out from his more comedic roles of past.
What are your thoughts of this news?

Top 10 antivirus software options for security-conscious users
by Scott Matteson in Security on September 15, 2020, 9:14 AM PST
The world is too dangerous to use the internet unprotected. Save your computers, tablets, and phones from being attacked--check out this antivirus software.

Antivirus software is an essential component of any Windows, Mac, or mobile operating system, especially workstations that access the internet and are used for financial transactions or to access and store confidential data. That doesn't mean protecting servers with antivirus protection isn't a critical responsibility--even those on segregated subnets without external access. Viruses can spread on internal networks if compromised machines are introduced into the environment without antivirus software.
Some antivirus products are paid (usually by annual subscription), some are free, some are geared toward consumers, and others have an enterprise angle. There are plenty of diverse options out there in antivirus protection, so here are 10 antivirus software products aimed at protecting systems that cover all walks of technological life.
Note: Pricing may vary depending on vendor, origin of purchase, and bulk discounts. Products are not listed in any particular order, so this list should not be construed as arranged by quality from top to bottom or vice versa.
Image: Norton
Norton Antivirus is probably the most well-known product among this antivirus roundup. It debuted in 1991 and has a solid track record of protecting systems. The antivirus app interface is clean and easy to navigate, and additional features such as a performance optimizer, password manager, and backup options (some cost extra money) are available. One of the best features of this antivirus product is protection against phishing attempts by blocking access to malicious websites that seek to harvest account credentials and confidential information, keeping you safe from identity theft or worse.
This app runs on Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.
$59 at Norton
McAfee is a popular security software staple among consumers and businesses. It yields excellent performance, and protects against spyware and malware, as well as routine viruses. It not only blocks dangerous websites, it scans and removes malicious emails as well. Safe browsing, identity theft protection, and a secure VPN option are included. The app runs on Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android, securing any mobile device.
$35 at MacAfee
Image: Trend Micro
Trend Micro Antivirus+ Security is a bit more basic antivirus app than other products. It offers standard antivirus as well as antispyware and antimalware features, comes at a lower average cost but is reported to entail some performance overhead. Artificial intelligence (AI) learning is used to observe threat behaviors and adapt accordingly. A Pay Guard option is used to protect online transactions. It's provided for Windows only.
The more advanced Internet Security and Maximum Security options are basically the same product, they just cover a different level of devices (per the price section) and offer social media privacy, system optimization and repair, online children's safeguards (parental control), a password manager and mobile OS/Mac options. It runs on Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android, protecting all your devices from malware.
$20 at Trend Micro
Image: Webroot
Webroot antivirus software protects against the usual cast of characters from the threat department, it is lightweight and offers identity protection to safeguard accounts, passwords, and confidential data, firewall protection, and pop-ups and ad blocking to protect you from viruses and other malware. To be fair, browsers generally offer this last feature as well, but website operators routinely find ways to thwart these built-in options, so some extra assistance can come in handy to reduce these frustrations.
The Webroot antivirus scan is quick and efficient, and there is even a webcam protector to keep malicious software from accessing your camera. This malware protection runs on Windows and Mac.
$40 at Webroot
Image: Symantec
Symantec Endpoint Protection is the most "corporate" of products here and is arguably the best suited for centralized management by the IT or security departments. The mobile app of this antivirus protection can be deployed through centralized means as well.
Symantec offers protection from malware, viruses, spyware, unknown threats, and network/host exploits. There is no anti-phishing feature, unfortunately, and it does entail significant system overhead. But the trade-off is highly efficient protection against threats, protecting company assets and employees. It runs on Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.
$28 at Symantec
Image: Kaspersky
Kaspersky is another well-known player in the antivirus space, having a proven track record of virus protection reliability since 1997. Its endpoint security product offers the usual anti-malware suite, good performance, anti-phishing and strong anti-ransomware protection. It integrates well in businesses with centralized management capability.
Some users have reported challenges with the reporting module, but overall customer satisfaction with Kaspersky's antivirus software ranks among some of the most positive of any of these antivirus products reviewed. It runs on Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.
$40 at Kaspersky
Sophos Home is Sophos's antivirus software, and it comes in both a free and a premium version. Both versions offer antivirus protection, AI threat detection, parental website filtering and web protection. The free antivirus version can cover three devices. The paid version goes further by providing ransomware security; extended web security; banking, privacy, and identity theft protection; advanced anti-malware components; premium support; and coverage for 10 devices.

Malwarebytes offers free and paid products, but the free antivirus version is really only intended to clean up an infected computer; it does offer anti-hacking, anti-ransomware, anti-phishing, and active antivirus threat protection measures, but these expire after 14 days. The paid version of this antivirus program offers all of the above components for the cost shown. It runs on Windows, Mac, and Chromebook.

Avast Free is commonly regarded as one of the best free antivirus products out there. It offers free antivirus protection, Wi-Fi scanning to detect weaknesses (such as using default passwords), pop-up blocking, a password manager, a comprehensive firewall and—best of all—no ads.
The premium antivirus software version offers all the above plus the Avast Secure Browser, which is a customized secure web browser that protects your data (and is recommended for those working in the financial industry). It also provides a new feature called Remote Access Shield, which helps to protect personal data and mitigate remote desktop vulnerabilities.
A sandbox feature lets you run suspect software in a locked-down environment to test it and see if it contains malicious code. There is also a safe banking feature, a fake website detection option, webcam protection, and even a software updater to ensure other products, such as utilities and web browsers, are up to date. It runs on Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android
The single device offering is $39.99 and the multi-device offering $49.99

We come to our final antivirus protection product in the round-up, Windows Defender, which comes bundled with Windows 10. As products go, it's fairly basic and would probably earn about a "C" on any report card. It protects against viruses, but doesn't update often, has no advanced threat protection, and account protection only applies to your Microsoft account. This latter feature is irrelevant for users relying on local accounts instead.
Defender offers firewall protection (which is really just the classic Windows firewall some have loved and some have hated since Windows XP), network protection, app and browser protection (note the browser in question must be Microsoft Edge; other browsers need not apply) and some measure of device security such as preventing malicious code from being inserted into processes running in memory.
This free antivirus program is not perfect and has made some mistakes, such as mislabeling Citrix components as malware, but for most basic computer usage (think: Grandma using the computer for Facebook, Amazon shopping, and email) it gets the job done. It runs on Windows 10.

(Hy-Vee)
Hy-Vee announced in a press release that free Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine booster doses are available by appointment only to 12- to 15-year-olds at least 5 months after their second dose. Additionally, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) authorized the following:
All individuals who completed a primary series (two doses) of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine can receive an mRNA booster dose (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna) at least 5 months after their second dose (reduced from the previously authorized 6 months).
Individuals ages 5 to 11 who are moderately to severely immunocompromised may receive a third dose of the Pediatric Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine at least 28 days after the second dose. At this time, Pediatric Pfizer-BioNTech booster vaccines are NOT authorized for individuals ages 5 to 11.
Those who completed their primary COVID-19 vaccination with Moderna or received a mixed primary series can only receive a booster dose at least 6 months after their second dose. Patients ages 12 to 17 receiving a booster dose cannot mix-and-match vaccines. A parent or legal guardian must consent and accompany all minors to their vaccination. The booster vaccines are free to all eligible patients, regardless of insurance coverage.
According to the release:
The second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine should be administered at least 21 days after the first dose. A booster dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is ONLY available for individuals ages 12 and older, and should be administered based on individuals' primary vaccine manufacturer.
At least 5 months after the second dose if a Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine recipient (or at least 5 months after their third dose of Pfizer-BioNTech if moderately to severely immunocompromised)

8tracks Free Internet Radio Bringing The Mix Tape Back!

8tracks brings back the mixtape, but makes it easier to create and share than the painstaking process people in the 80's and 90's took. Though it's become simpler, it's still a labor of love and even more so because you know your blend has the potential to reach thousands or maybe even 10's of thousands.
Something has been lost along the way to where we sit now. The ease with which we can share a song, a picture or a story has opened up the world, but it's also enclosed us and locked us in the proverbial internet closet. 8tracks brings a little bit of the nostalgic past back. Those who create the mixes, for the most part, are really sitting down and putting a little piece of heart into the work. Every time you listen to a mix you're getting a small private glimpse into the mix's creator.
What continues to intrigue me with 8tracks is the business model. Most of the music in the mixes is likely created from pirated mp3's, but 8tracks pays royalty to record companies. So we have here a case where stolen music is actually making money for the record companies and artists. It's an interesting model and makes me wonder about other potential avenues for pirated content to make money for producers and creators. Perhaps the Big Boys should consider the problem and come up with creative ways to make money in this not-so-brave new world, than suing downloaders for ridiculous sums.
Gizbeat heartily suggests you take a look and listen. Better yet, join in and share a piece of you with the world.
Plain and simple, 8tracks has brought music back into the limelight of my life. While Spotify, Pandora and last.fm battle it out for first, 8tracks is the little engine that could – trudgin' along and making everybody who takes a ride, happy.

It's great man. I don't use any other music service. You should try and 'acquire' the songs from your old mixtapes and throw 'em up on 8tracks!
