ComputerWorld offers a nice stroll down Schadenfreude Lane with its list of the 21 most overhyped tech products.
The list includes some obvious targets: Apple's sad attempt to create a market for PDAs with the Newton, Microsoft Bob, WebTV. But there are a few items that flopped so throughly we'd pretty much forgotten they ever existed. Remember the Audrey and other amputated "Net PCs?" How about DIVX, Circuit City's hookah-blowing idea for self-destructing home entertainment?
Lessons to be drawn include waiting until Sony and the other guy settle the latest "My new media is better than your new media!" fight before you invest a lot of money. And standardization rocks!


What is a data backup and how does it work?
Disasters happen without warning, and when they do, you could find your business without access to its data.
When the network goes down, you can't process sales, pull reports, or enter accounting records. It leaves you stranded and paying salaries while no work is happening. If your data isn't recoverable, the problem might be so insurmountable you'll be forced to shut down.
Sixty percent of businesses that suffer catastrophic data loss shut down within six months. With those figures in mind, it pays to be prepared with a comprehensive data backup solution.
A backup is simply a copy of all your data.
It can include everything from customer records and payroll information to transaction history and ongoing projects. A good backup covers all your business data (though not always in real time).
Backups can range from on-site software programs to cloud-based systems that store your data in multiple physical locations.
How does a backup work?
There are several ways to handle backups. Some small businesses back up their server contents once a day, while others automatically back up information a few times throughout the day. These backups can be stored on a separate server, written to physical discs, or stored off-site in cloud storage.
A progressive backup records the changes from the last time the information was stored. That makes a backup file more compact and easy to load. But it can also create a problem if one of the files in the chain is corrupted. A full backup of the system can take more time but provides a complete picture.
What are the most common backup methods?
Backup systems come in 4 basic styles: full, incremental, differential, and mirror.
Full backups – This backup includes everything stored on your machines including every file and folder.
Incremental backups – By only recording changes from the first full backup, this type requires less storage space and happens much more quickly.
Differential backups – Like incremental, differential backups only record changes, but instead of recording changes from the last incremental backup, they record all changes from the last full backup. This takes up more storage space and can take a little more time when recording.
Mirror backup – By making a complete copy of everything on the system, you have all the advantages of a full backup without also storing obsolete files. You only copy what is currently on the system, so deleted files don't carry forward.
How do you select the right backup solution?
How long you can last without data should dictate what type of backup solution you run with.
For example, incremental backups require a smaller investment to set up and maintain, but they also take the longest to generate a full restore if something goes wrong.
Mirror backups are not as costly as full backups, but you could permanently delete an important file if the new backup overwrites the old before the deletion is noticed.
For best results, most businesses use a combination of strategies that include either differential or incremental and regularly scheduled full or mirror backups. With regular complete copies and updates along the way, you can remain confident in your backup strategy.

With over 20 major attractions in and around Tiverton, from National Trust properties and gardens, Railway & Canal visitor centres, Museums, Leisure centres, outdoor pursuits and many many more we have it "going on" all around us. We have a fantastic opportunity as there is no "cross pollination" of visitors, either between attractions or between the attractions and Tiverton town itself.
We want to encourage visitors to go to mulltiple attractions and also to visit Tiverton town itself.
We want to help visitors make the most of their trips to the area. Visitors mean increased footfall for all businesses and attractions. On speaking with representatives of the attractions and the trade association and the council we want to pursue a town brochure which contains a map to both the town and also to the attractions around the town. In addition it will include a voucher scheme for visitors who come into the EX16 postcode.
The scheme will include benefits and enticements to visitors to try other attractions and visit the town itself. The attractions themselves and town centre businesses will fund the discounts and offers.
Visitors would also be informed and encouraged to visit the area again. Repeat business!
The attractions themselves have obviously been busy with the tourists despite the terrible weather over the summer.
We have now received quotes for producing the brochure which not only covers the EX16 postcode but also the vouchers which will be on offer.
Now we are entering into a quieter period for the attractions we can work with the businesses in the town and around the town to get the voucher brochure sorted for the new year.

Lagos pardons 14 inmates, converts 14 death row to life imprisonment
Kennedy Emeka Ukaga Reply Saturday, April 27, 2019 A+ A-
http://www.hrlnews.com/2019/04/lagos-pardons-14-inmates-converts-14.html
The Lagos State Government, through the Advisory Council on Prerogative of Mercy, has pardoned 14 inmates of the Maximum Security Prison in Kirikiri who have been imprisoned for over 20 years for various offences, while 20 others on death row had their punishment converted to life imprisonment.
Speaking while handing over the order for the release of the inmates signed by Governor Akinwunmi Ambode to prison authorities, the State's Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr Adeniji Kazeem (SAN) said the development was pursuant to Constitutional provision which provides for the constitution of an Advisory Council and grants the Governor power to grant clemency to convicted persons on the advice of the Council.
"Prerogative of Mercy is a right recognised under the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended); Section 212(2) of the Constitution provides that the powers conferred on the Governor under Section 212(1) shall be exercised by him after consultation with the Advisory Council of the State on the Prerogative of Mercy as may be established by the Law of the State," Kazeem stated.
He said the inmates were considered to benefit from the prerogative of mercy after due examination of their case files, which revealed that they have been reformed and ready for re-integration into the society. Kazeem, who is also a member of the Council, specifically congratulated the inmates, and advised them to be of good conduct outside the prison.
Also speaking, Chairman of the Council, Prof. Oyelowo Oyewo said aside its power under the Constitution, the setting up of the Council also serves as a way of de-congesting the prisons. He equally congratulated the beneficiaries of the clemency by the Governor, and urged them to avoid acts that led to into prison in the first place.
On his part, the Controller of Prison in charge of Kirikiri Maximum Prison, DCP Emmanuel Oluwaniyi commended the State Government especially the State's Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice for the efforts to de-congest the prison.
Oluwaniyi, who was newly deployed to the State, saying it was particularly gratifying that he was commencing his stewardship in the State on a good note with the release of inmates who are due to be re-integrated into the society, just as he equally admonished them to be of good conduct outside the prison.
Aside Oyewo and Kazeem, other members of the Lagos State Advisory Council on Prerogative of Mercy are Mr. Adedotun Adetunji, Mrs Musili Onasanya, Mr. Olumide Oniyire, Mr. Chris Okoye, Mrs. Bolatumi Animashaun, and Mrs. Yemisi Ogunlola (Secretary).

Justia Dockets & Filings Eleventh Circuit Alabama Northern District McCray v. Milan Supply Chain et al Filing 12
McCray v. Milan Supply Chain et al
Filing 12
MEMORANDUM OPINION. Signed by Judge Abdul K Kallon on 01/11/2021. (AKD)
FILED 2022 Jan-11 PM 01:24 U.S. DISTRICT COURT N.D. OF ALABAMA UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ALABAMA SOUTHERN DIVISION REGINALD MCCRAY, SR., Plaintiff, v. MILAN SUPPLY CHAIN and BOBBY LEE BURKE, Defendants. ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) Civil Action Number 2:20-CV-01891-AKK MEMORANDUM OPINION Pending before the court is Milan Supply Chain's motion for partial summary judgment, in which Milan argues for dismissal of Reginald McCray's punitive damages and negligent entrustment claims following an automobile collision between McCray and Bobby Lee Burke, Milan's tractor-trailer driver. See doc. 10. McCray failed to respond to the motion. After review of the motion, the evidence, and the governing case law, the court concludes that no reasonable juror could find in favor of McCray on his claims for wantonness and negligent entrustment. I. Summary judgment is warranted "if the movant shows that there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law." FED. R. CIV. P. 56. "Rule 56[] mandates the entry of summary judgment, after adequate time for discovery and upon motion, against a party who fails to make a showing sufficient to establish the existence of an element essential to that party's case, and on which that party will bear the burden of proof at trial." Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 322 (1986) (alteration in original). The movant bears the initial burden of proving the absence of a genuine issue of material fact. Id. at 323. The burden then shifts to the nonmoving party to "go beyond the pleadings" and establish a "genuine issue for trial." See id. at 324. A dispute about a material fact is genuine "if the evidence is such that a reasonable jury could return a verdict for the nonmoving party." Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 248 (1986). At summary judgment, the court must construe the evidence and all reasonable inferences arising from it in the light most favorable to the nonmovant. Adickes v. S. H. Kress & Co., 398 U.S. 144, 157 (1970); Anderson, 477 U.S. at 255. Factual disputes are resolved in the nonmoving party's favor when sufficient competent evidence supports the nonmoving party's version of the facts. See Pace v. Capobianco, 283 F.3d 1275, 1276, 1278 (11th Cir. 2002). However, "mere conclusions and unsupported factual allegations are legally insufficient to defeat a summary judgment motion." Ellis v. England, 432 F.3d 1321, 1326 (11th Cir. 2005). II. The collision at issue in this case occurred in October 2018, as McCray drove west on Highway 78 in Birmingham and Burke drove Milan's commercial tractortrailer behind him. See doc. 1-1 at 4. After McCray stopped at a red light, Burke's 2 tractor-trailer rear-ended McCray's vehicle. See id.; doc. 10-4 at 3. According to the police report of Officer Christopher McClure, who responded to the accident, a vehicle had pulled in front of McCray before the light turned red, causing McCray to brake. See docs. 10-4 at 3 (citing the police report); 10-6 at 2. Burke told Officer McClure that "he couldn't stop fast enough" before hitting McCray. Doc. 10-6 at 2. 1 McCray suffered back injuries that required medical treatment. Doc. 1-1 at 5. This lawsuit followed, and Milan removed the case to federal court. See doc. 1. According to Burke's 2017 employment application for Milan, Burke has worked on and off as a commercial driver since 1996. See doc. 10-8. In his application, Burke indicated that he had not had any accidents and had no violations on his driving record. See id. Before hiring Burke, Milan ran a "motor vehicle record" check on him that came back "clear." See doc. 10-5. Milan also had Burke perform a drug test, which came back negative; verified Burke's employment history; gave Burke a road test, which he passed; and provided Burke with "entrylevel" driver training. See docs. 10-10; 10-11; 10-12. Burke held a valid commercial driver's license at the time of the accident, and his CDL remains valid. See doc. 105. 1 See also doc. 10-7 (Milan's accident report) ("A cop was 2 vehicles ahead of [Burke]. The cop made a sudded [sic] right turn into a parking lot without using his turn signal. [McCray] in front of [Burke] was able to slam on his brakes and get stopped. [Burke] was not able to stop before rear-ending [McCray]."). 3 III. McCray pleads negligence, negligence per se, and negligent entrustment claims against Milan and seeks compensatory and punitive damages as relief. See doc. 1-1. For its part, Milan argues that McCray cannot seek punitive damages because he does not allege wantonness, and if McCray does assert wantonness, no evidence of wantonness exists. Doc. 10-1 at 6. Milan also argues that McCray cannot prove that Milan negligently entrusted Burke. Id. at 13. The court addresses these contentions in turn. A. Milan is correct that Alabama law requires evidence of wantonness—or oppression, fraud, or malice—for a plaintiff to recover punitive damages. See id. at 6–7; ALA. CODE § 6-11-20(a).2 Thus, without evidence of wantonness, McCray cannot recover punitive damages. However, the court disagrees with Milan that McCray fails to plead wantonness. To be sure, McCray's complaint asserts three counts, labelled "Negligence," "Negligence Per Se," and "Negligent Entrustment,"; McCray does not specifically separate his claim for wantonness. See doc. 1-1. But 2 "Punitive damages may not be awarded in any civil action, . . . other than in a tort action where it is proven by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant consciously or deliberately engaged in oppression, fraud, wantonness, or malice with regard to the plaintiff." ALA. CODE § 611-20(a). See also CP & B Enterprises, Inc. v Mellert, 762 So. 2d 356, 362 (Ala. 2000) (holding that a finding of negligence "would not warrant an award of punitive damages") (citing Bradley v. Walker, 93 So. 634, 635 (Ala. 1922)); Bradley, 93 So. at 635 ("Punitive damages are not recoverable for simple negligence, but the recovery in such case is for compensatory damages."). 4 his factual allegations express as much: McCray pleads that Burke operated the tractor-trailer "in such a negligent, reckless, and/or wanton manner." See id. at 4 (emphasis added). Though McCray could have pleaded his claims with more clarity, the court understands him to allege negligence and/or wantonness against Burke and Milan in support of his claim for punitive damages. Thus, the question is whether a reasonable jury could return a verdict for McCray on his wantonness claim. See Anderson, 477 U.S. at 248. Here, however, the complaint and the evidence fall short. In Alabama, wantonness refers to "the conscious doing of some act or omission of some duty while knowing of the existing conditions and being conscious that, from doing or omitting to do an act, injury will likely or probably result." McMahon v. Yamaha Motor Corp., USA, 95 So. 3d 769, 773 (Ala. 2012); Ex parte Essary, 992 So. 2d 5, 9 (Ala. 2007). Though wantonness requires a conscious act, "the actor's knowledge may be proved by showing circumstances from which the fact of knowledge is a reasonable inference." Hicks v. Dunn, 819 So. 2d 22, 24 (Ala. 2001) (quoting Scott v. Villegas, 723 So. 2d 642, 643 (Ala. 1998)). In the context of automobile accidents, the negligent failure to exercise "good judgment" while driving does not mean that the driver's conduct constitutes "reckless indifference to a known danger to inflict 5 injury." Cheshire, 54 So. 3d at 344; Essary, 992 So. 2d at 12. 3 See also George v. Champion Ins. Co., 591 So. 2d 852, 854 (Ala. 1991).4 Rather, wantonness depends on the circumstances of each case, Cheshire v. Putman, 54 So. 3d 336, 342 (Ala. 2010) (quoting Ex parte Anderson, 682 So. 2d 467 (Ala. 1996)), and speeding alone is insufficient unless coupled with other factors, Hicks, 819 So. 2d at 24.5 In this case, even in the light most favorable to McCray, the evidence would not lead a reasonable jury to find wantonness. The evidence demonstrates that prior to the collision, a vehicle somewhat abruptly pulled in front of McCray, who applied his brakes. See docs. 10-1 at 2; 10-6 at 2; 10-7 at 2. It appears that as McCray slowed to accommodate the car in front of him, the traffic light also turned red, forcing him to come to a complete stop. See id. Burke, traveling behind McCray, 3 In Essary, the Supreme Court of Alabama held that a driver's rolling stop at an intersection requiring him to yield was not wanton, even though the driver "knowingly entered the intersection" to try to cross it. 992 So. 2d at 7, 12. The Court noted that although the plaintiffs characterized the driver's "attempt to cross the intersection between two vehicles" as "'accelerating' after a 'rolling stop' to 'shoot the gap,'" in reality the driver "made an error in judgment when he attempted to 'beat the traffic.'" Id. at 12. 4 In George, the Supreme Court of Alabama held that there was insufficient evidence of wantonness where the driver approached an intersection at a green light, glanced back at the occupants in the rear seat, looked forward again, saw the light was red, and drove into another vehicle when her foot missed the brake pedal. 591 So. 2d at 854. The Court concluded that although the facts "show[ed] inadvertence on the part of the driver, they [did] not amount to wantonness, which requires some degree of conscious culpability." Id. 5 In Hicks, the Supreme Court of Alabama held that the trial court should have presented a wantonness claim to the jury because evidence showed that the driver was driving "much faster than the posted speed limit" and "was not paying attention to the road." 819 So. 2d at 25. In addition, the Court noted that the driver did not slow his speed despite constructions signs and the driver's knowledge "that a restaurant into which patrons would likely be turning was on the other side of the hill he was cresting, obscured from his view." Id. 6 could not stop in time, and Burke's tractor-trailer rear-ended McCray's vehicle. See id. Although Milan's accident report lists "[d]istracted [d]riving" as a factor in the accident, doc. 10-7, and McCray appears to allege that Burke followed his vehicle too closely, doc. 1-1 at 6, McCray has not established that Burke was speeding or behaved with "reckless indifference to a known danger to inflict injury," Cheshire, 54 So. 3d at 344; Essary, 992 So. 2d at 12. Perhaps Burke made an error in judgment. But because McCray cannot establish wantonness, his claim—as well as his request for punitive damages—cannot proceed. B. Milan also contends that McCray cannot satisfy the elements of negligent entrustment. See doc. 10-1 at 16–17. "The essential ingredients of a cause of action for negligent entrustment are: (1) an entrustment; (2) to an incompetent; (3) with knowledge that he is incompetent; (4) proximate cause; and (5) damages." Prill v. Marrone, 23 So. 3d 1, 8 (Ala. 2009) (quoting Halford v. Alamo Rent-A-Car, LLC, 921 So. 2d 409, 419 (Ala. 2005)). Milan asserts that McCray cannot demonstrate Burke's incompetence, doc. 10-1 at 16–17; and that regardless, McCray cannot show Milan knew of Burke's alleged incompetence, id. at 17–18. The court agrees. 1. Milan contends that the evidence, even viewed in the light most favorable to McCray, does not show that Burke was an incompetent driver. Under Alabama law, 7 "the incompetence of a driver is measured by the driver's demonstrated ability (or inability) to properly drive a vehicle," and a driver need not have a perfect or nearperfect record to establish competence. See Halford, 921 So. 2d at 417.6 In this case, the evidence demonstrates that although Burke had several citations for certain inspection violations, he did not have a history of accidents involving personal injuries. See docs. 10-8 (listing "[n]o accidents"); 10-13 (listing, for example, violations for "[d]riving beyond 8 hour limit" and "[i]noperable head lamps"). Burke also held a valid CDL at the time of the accident and received entry-level driver training and passed a road test the year prior. See docs. 10-5; 10-11; 10-12. On this evidence, McCray has not met his burden of establishing Burke's incompetence. 2. Milan also argues that even if Burke was incompetent, Milan had no knowledge of his incompetence. See doc. 10-1 at 17–18. To survive summary 6 Compare id. (holding that the suspension of a driver's license after the driver failed to appear in court for a "nonmoving" offense did not establish incompetence) and Pryor v. Brown & Root USA, Inc., 674 So. 2d 45, 52 (Ala. 1995) (holding that the plaintiff failed to present substantial evidence of incompetence even where the driver had two prior speeding tickets and a suspended prosecution of a DUI charge over a 10-year period) with Mason v. New, 475 So. 2d 854, 856 (Ala. 1985) (holding that evidence of a driver's lack of a license and three-time failure of her driver's test prior to the accident, "although not conclusive, was probative of her possible inexperience and lack of skill") and Edwards v. Valentine, 926 So. 2d 315, 324 (Ala. 2005) (holding that where a driver had "tr[ied] for two years" to reacquire his license, had three instances of driving under the influence, and had a prior accident in which he "broadsided" someone, the trial court's finding of incompetency was not "palpably erroneous or manifestly unjust"). 8 judgment on his negligent entrustment claim, McCray must establish "that [Milan] knew, or by the exercise of reasonable care, would have known that [Burke] was incompetent." Dunaway v. King, 510 So. 2d 543, 546 (Ala. 1987); Hobbs v. U.S. Xpress, Inc., No. 7:18-cv-02129-LSC, 2021 WL 9133898, at *4 (N.D. Ala. Mar. 10, 2021). 7 Viewed in the light most favorable to McCray, the evidence does not demonstrate that Milan knew or should have known of Burke's alleged incompetence. For one, Milan screened Burke's past employment, reviewed his accident and violation histories, and ensured he held a valid CDL prior to hiring him. See docs. 10-5; 10-8. In addition, Milan obtained Burke's medical examiner's certificate and had him undergo entry-level driver training, a road test, and a drug test in July 2017. See docs. 10-9; 10-10; 10-11; 10-12. On these facts, McCray cannot meet his burden of establishing that Milan knew or should have known of Burke's purported incompetency. No reasonable juror could therefore find for McCray on his negligent entrustment claim, and Milan's motion is due to be granted as to this claim. 7 In Day v. Williams, the Supreme Court of Alabama determined that there was no evidence the defendant had reason to believe the entrustee was an incompetent driver. 670 So. 2d 914, 916 (Ala. 1995). The Court reasoned that the defendant's testimony "demonstrate[d] that he was unaware that [the entrustee] did not possess a driver's license," and that, even if the defendant had been aware of this fact, "that alone would not [have] support[ed] a finding of negligent entrustment, under the circumstances of this case." Id. The Court noted that "[t]he record indicate[d] that [the entrustee] was an experienced adult driver and had exhibited no indication that he was an incompetent driver," despite previous tickets for driving without a license and one speeding citation. See id. 9 IV. To close, Milan's motion for partial summary judgment, doc. 10, is due to be granted, and McCray's wantonness or punitive damages and negligent entrustment claims are due to be dismissed with prejudice. In addition, because McCray failed to serve Burke, who is also a defendant, within 90 days of Milan's removal, see doc. 10 at 2 n.1, and the period for discovery has expired, see doc. 6 at 1, Burke is due to be dismissed unless McCray can show good cause for his failure. 8 The court will effectuate this opinion by separate order. DONE the 11th day of January, 2022. _________________________________ ABDUL K. KALLON UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE 8 See 28 U.S.C. § 1448 ("In all cases removed from any State court to any district court of the United States in which any one . . . of the defendants has not been served with process . . . such process or service may be completed or new process issued in the same manner as in cases originally filed in such district court."); FED. R. CIV. P. 4(m) ("If a defendant is not served within 90 days after the complaint is filed, the court—on motion or on its own after notice to the plaintiff—must dismiss the action without prejudice against that defendant or order that service be made within a specified time. But if the plaintiff shows good cause for the failure, the court must extend the time for service for an appropriate period."). 10

Book Talk: Look for Me in the Whirlwind: From the Panther 21 to 21st-Century Revolutions
In 1969, 21 members of New York's Black Panther Party, founded in an East Village apartment, were rounded up and charged with conspiracy to commit violent acts. A collective autobiography, Look for Me in the Whirlwind, recalls the fallout of those arrests, and the exile, imprisonment, and assassination of Party leaders which followed, as well as the nationwide solidarity resulting from this incredible piece of East Village history. Activists Matt Meyer, Sekou Odinga, and déqui kioni-sadiki, who reprinted the text in 2017, will share rare archival photos, poetry, prose, and first-person narratives focusing on the history of the movement's founding, the Panther legacy, and its relevance to today's struggles for justice.
Sekou Odinga was a member of Malcolm X's Organization of Afro-American Unity, a founding member of the New York chapter of the Black Panther Party as well as the Black Panther International Section, and was a member of the NY Panther 21.
déqui kioni-sadiki is the chair of the Malcolm X Commemoration Committee and was a leader of the Sekou Odinga Defense Committee, which waged a successful campaign for the release of her husband. A tireless coalition-builder and organizer, déqui is a radio producer, an educator, and a member of the Jericho Movement to Free All Political Prisoners.
Matt Meyer is the Secretary-General of the International Peace Research Association, the Chair of the International Fellowship of Reconciliation Financial Advisory Committee, and the War Resisters' International Africa Support Network Coordinator. A noted educator, author, and organizer, Meyer focuses on an extensive range of human rights issues.

Beauty and the Beast – Live Action Disney Film is a Gem
The Disney magic has struck again.
The studio's live action remake, with a superbly talented cast, breath-taking sets, lavish costumes, and special effects that enhance rather than detract, surpasses the original 1991 animated classic. With the previous film, as well as the stage version, in the rear view mirror, and with La La Land whetting the public's appetite for more musical films, Beauty and the Beast's timing couldn't be better.
Dan Stevens as the Beast
Director Bill Condon leads a production team that manages to do everything right. Condon, whose film adaptation of the Broadway hit Dreamgirls, won two Academy Awards and three Golden Globes, also knows his way around a script. He won an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for Gods and Monsters which he also directed. The screenplay by Stephen Chbosky and Evan Spiliotopoulos builds on the original, filling in some of the backstory about Belle and the Prince/Beast. The score with music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Tim Rice, retains the songs in the animated version, while eliminating some from the stage version, and adding several that serve to advance the story in key moments.
Emma Watson as Belle and Luke Evans as Gaston
The cast, many of whom had worked with Condon before, trusted his vision and were eager to sign on for this mission. Emma Watson, known to younger audiences as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films, is radiant as Belle, projecting the heroine's intelligence and kindness, but also her bravery when faced with danger. Her face lights up the screen and her singing voice projects a sweet innocence which befits her character.
Dan Stevens, the doomed Downton Abbey heir, might seem an odd choice to play the Prince who, because of his selfishness, is turned into the Beast by an enchantress. Yet he attacks (in some scenes quite literally), the role with relish. While the Beast is a fully digital character (according to the press notes the actor wore stilts and a prosthetics muscle suit with a grey bodysuit during filming), Stevens was determined to display the fine line between man and beast, striving to make his live action character "more dimensional than the Beast from the animated film." He succeeds, revealing the human trapped inside a horrible-looking animal, particularly when singing the lament "Evermore," a new addition to the score.
Kevin Kline as Maurice and Emma Watson as Belle
Belle's father has evolved from the zany inventor in the animated version to an artist who creates beautiful, ornate music boxes. Kevin Kline's mere presence adds depth to any scene he's in. His Maurice projects a father's love, but beneath the surface there's a sadness about the past. (Through the magic of a mirror, the Beast takes Belle back to her life in Paris and she understands the secrets Maurice holds in his heart.) Kline's Maurice is not without humor, especially when he encounters some of the talking objects in the Beast's castle, and he delivers a stirring "How Does a Moment Last Forever," another new song.
Josh Gad as LeFou and Luke Evans as Gaston
Gaston's resume has been beefed up, transforming him into a war hero who saved Villenueve, the fictional French village, from invaders. What hasn't been altered is Gaston's quick-trigger temper, his oversized ego, and his inability to accept Belle's refusal to marry him. Welsh actor Luke Evans brings his stage presence and booming baritone to the "role he was born to play," according to Condon. Paired with Josh Gad as Gaston's sidekick LeFou, Evans takes advantage of Gad's impeccable comic timing to make the interaction between the two fun to watch. (There's been much pre-publicity – both positive and negative – about LeFou's obvious attraction to the manly Gaston.)
The Castle Objects
Those who signed on as the humans doomed to live as various objects in the Beast's castle until the spell is broken, include a mind-boggling group of A-list actors. For most of the film, they are voicing the characters, but they are seen briefly in the beginning and finally emerge in the flesh at the end. They include: Ewan McGregor as Lumière, the candlestick holder; Stanley Tucci as Cadenza, a harpsichord; Audra McDonald, as Madame de Garderobe the wardrobe; Gugu Mbatha-Raw, as Plumette, the feather duster; Ian McKellen, as the clock, Cogsworth; Emma Thompson as the teakettle, Mrs. Potts; and Nathan Mack as the teacup, Chip. Hattie Morahan who lurks around the village as the homeless woman, Agatha, is actually the Enchantress who casts the spell on the Prince.
Production Designer Sarah Greenwood, responsible for the visual aspect of the film, led a team of more than 1,000 crew members who worked to create the sets that would mimic those in the animated film. These sets built on the backlot at Shepperton Studios outside London, include: the fictional town of Villeneuve; the castle's ballroom, with a floor made from 12,000 square feet of faux marble; Belle's bedroom; and the castle's library holding thousands of books created specifically for the production. The largest set – 9,600 square feet – is the forest surrounding the castle which included real trees, hedges, a frozen lake, a set of 29-foot high ice gates, and about 20,000 icicles.
Costumes are period perfect and eye-catching. Designer Jacqueline Durran's team, made up of embroiders, milliners, jewelers, painters, and textile artists, worked for three months before filming began. That lead time was necessary since Durran wanted to create sustainable costumes from fair-trade fabrics. The greatest challenge was designing that iconic yellow dress that Belle wears when dancing with the Beast in the castle's ballroom. Made from 180 feet of feather-light satin organza, the dress used up 3,000 feet of thread. All that attention to detail pays off. Belle's gown glows in that dance number, a high point in a film with many high points.
In a cynical world, the "tale as old as time," never gets old. Disney's new version continues that legacy.

Five Fabulous Flicks Featuring Mystics
With Dr. Strange coming out Friday, (the buzz says that it's the trippiest Marvel movie yet), inevitably the mind turns to other magicians, wizards, witches, and sorcerers supreme who've dazzled us on screen. As the following examples show mastering the Dark Arts is a veritable cinematic tradition.
The Wizard of Oz (1939) This technicolor, musical-comedy-drama-fantasy, based on the beloved Frank L. Baum masterpiece, represents the best of Golden Age Hollywood with Judy Garland in the performance that made her an icon. While (spoiler alert) the titular wizard is a fraud, the powers of Elphalba the Wicked Witch of the West, and Glinda the Good Witch are very real and propel much of the events of the plot. It was nominated for six Academy Awards including Best Picture but lost to Gone With the Wind. Initially something of a box office disappointment, it would later go on to become one of the best known films in American history and a cultural landmark.
Excalibur (1981) Directed, produced, and co-written by John Boorman (Deliverance and The Tailor of Panama) Excalibur retells the classic legend of King Arthur primarily from the viewpoint of Merlin played with grandeur by Nicol Williamson (Hamlet, Inadmissible Evidence). From the days of Uther Pendragon (Gabriel Byrne in the role that launched his career) to Arthur's final showdown with Mordred, Merlin steals the show. And this is among a truly great cast including Nigel Terry as King Arthur, Helen Mirren as Morgana Le Fay, Nicholas Clay as Sir Lancelot, Cherie Lunghi as Gwenevere, a young Patrick Stewart as King Leondegrance, Liam Neeson as Sir Gawain, and Corin Redgrave as the Duke of Cornwall. It was all filmed in Ireland, and holds up as one of the best Arthurian adaptions of all time.
The Witches of Eastwick (1987) Directed by George Miller of Mad Max fame and based on the John Updike novel of the same name. Alexandra (Cher), Jane (Susan Sarandon), and Sukie (Michelle Pfeiffer), are three women all living in Eastwick, Rhode Island who share two things in common. One, they're all single having lost their husbands. Secondly, unbeknownst to them, they are all witches, and wittingly they start a coven and start practicing spells. Soon the mysterious Daryl Van Horne (Jack Nicholson) comes to town and that's when things start to get freaky. It was nominated for two Academy Awards and holds an over 70% fresh rating at Rotten Tomatoes.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) Directed by Chris Columbus. No such list would be complete without including the movie based on the best-selling book series that kicked off one of THE most successful film franchises in history. It helped that to do justice to Rowling's vision they put together an all-star cast as well including Maggie Smith, John Hurt, Robbie Coltrane, and the dearly departed Alan Rickman. Billions of dollars later, Hogwarts has become a cultural landscape that all children secretly dream of being invited to attend, Dumbledore and Snape are now household names, and it launched Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe's careers into the stratosphere.
The Witch (2015) Newcomer Robert Eggers wrote and directed this historical period supernatural horror tale that came seemingly out of nowhere to become an indie hit that grossed $40 million on a $3 million dollar budget. A puritan family is banished from their old settlement and builds a new farm by the woods. But beginning with the disappearance of their youngest child infant Samuel it soon becomes clear they are being terrorized by a powerful witch. It has an over 90% fresh rating at Rotten Tomatoes and Stephen King said the movie "scared the hell out of me."

Sydney Water has sold the disused Drummoyne Reservoir for $3.75 million to an unnamed buyer.
A spokesperson from Sydney Water confirmed the sale to Commercial Real Estate.
"The site is under settlement and we'll be able to provide more details once the sale has been finalised," he said.
The property is due to settle in mid-October.
As first revealed by Commercial Real Estate in May, Sydney Water had offered the site to the City of Canada Bay below market value, but the council did not respond to the offer.
That prompted the NSW government-owned corporation, which considers the property on the corner of Reservoir Lane and Rawson Avenue to be surplus land, to list the asset on the open market.
A petition, organised by Canada Bay mayor Angelo Tsirekas, urging Sydney Water to hand the site to the council, as well as to fund the restoration of the run-down reservoir and tower, collected more than 1500 signatures out of a target of 2500.
"It's been a part of the Drummoyne's history (sic) since 1913 and it is up to us to make it clear to this state government that we don't want it sold off to the highest bidder," the petition said.
The council wanted to repurpose the land for use as a public park, it said.
But the historic structures, which take up more than half of the land, cannot be demolished due to their state heritage listing, leaving little space for major development on the site zoned R2 for low-density residential use.
It is understood Sydney Water had been prioritising buyers who would adaptively reuse the property, which is the only reservoir with its tower intact in NSW.
While CBRE selling agent Victor Sheu would not comment on the new owners or their intentions, he said the site, on 1802 square metres, attracted interest from developers, private users and religious groups.
"The unique nature of the property attracted a lot of attention," he said.
Built in 1913, Drummoyne Reservoir stopped supplying water more than 50 years ago and was disconnected from the system in 1994.
Mr Sheu sold the property with colleagues Peter Vines and Simon Spicer.

In this article, Frank de Man, who runs Governance & Finance at EATRIS, reflects on the building of EATRIS and running this start-up infrastructure, with all its pros and cons.
Frank highlights the decision making process from the preparatory phase, from gap analysis to designing the right functional and organisational model with the right legal entity, up to effective governance and operations of the EATRIS infrastructure and ensuring its sustainability in the future.
Building EATRIS as a research infrastructure in Translational Medicine was a greenfield operation. Though in various parts of the world like Australia, US and Canada, service and development models in translational research existed, none of these were applicable to address the objectives identified via the gap analysis performed in Europe.
In contrast to other European initiatives in bioscience, the EATRIS services model was developed from scratch and tested with potential users: academics, science funders and those with matchmaking needs, for projects among scientific institutions and industry.
Though now established as an international organisation and driven by 90+ leading scientific institutions across Europe, EATRIS is, in essence, a start-up that must continue to explore and define its position in the scientific and drug development markets.
Providing the scientific community and industry with the right tools and models, to not only improve but accelerate drug development too, requires an ultra-flexible organisation that continuously (re-)assesses its added value against the needs of clients, in order to grow into a leading European RI. Moreover, the global collaboration with partners from Australia, USA, Canada, UK and Japan is an indispensable asset that helps us to stay up to speed with innovation in translational research.

Der Sender Weimar (Ettersberg) befindet sich auf dem Großen Ettersberg nördlich von Weimar, in der Nähe des ehemaligen KZ Buchenwald. Neben dem Sender Weimar (südlich von der Stadt), befindet sich dieser ebenfalls auf einer Liegenschaft der Deutschen Funkturm GmbH einem Tochterunternehmen der Deutschen Telekom AG.

Dieser Standort wird heute zur Verbreitung von digitalen Fernsehen (DVB-T2), analogen Rundfunk (UKW), digitalen Rundfunk (DAB) genutzt.

Weiterhin dient er als Antennenstandort für den Mobilfunk sowie für Richtfunkstrecken.

Geschichte

Die Liegenschaft inklusive des Sendebetriebsgebäudes (A-Turm) wurde ursprünglich als Bezirksrichtfunkzentrale (BzRFuZ) Erfurt, als Teil der Netzebene 1 des Richtfunknetz der Partei (SED), erschlossen.
Das Netz arbeitete im offenen Regime ohne Einsatz von Schlüsseltechnik und wurde bereits in der zweiten Hälfte der 1960er Jahre von der Fernmeldeaufklärung der Bundeswehr, gemäß einer Vereinbarung mit dem Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND), abgehört. In der Folge wurde die Nutzung des Netzes stark eingeschränkt. Mit dem Ausbau des Sondernetzes 1 verlor das Richtfunknetz an Bedeutung für die tägliche Kommunikation. Hauptsächlich war es für den Kriegsfall vorbereitet. Es wurde per 1. Januar 1984 kostenfrei an die Deutsche Post übertragen. Gemäß einer Vereinbarung zwischen der DP und der NVA wurde eine definierte Anzahl von Reservekanälen für Führungsstellen gegen Gebühr weiterhin bis 1990 für die NVA zur Verfügung gestellt.
Der Standort wurde weiterhin für die Übertragung von Zeitungsdrucksätzen der Zeitung des Zentralorgans der Partei Neues Deutschland zu den Druckeinrichtungen im Bezirk Erfurt genutzt.
Mitte der 1980er Jahre kam dann UKW und TV (Füllsender) hinzu.
Infolge der Wiedervereinigung wurden die bis dahin genutzten Richtfunkstrecken eingestellt, und die Liegenschaft wurde an die Deutsche Bundespost übereignet.

From chemicals to cars, 3-D printing may be the manufacturing method of the future.
3-D printers were used to build novel lab equipment.
Its use long confined to tech-savvy engineering students and Silicon Valley tinkerers, the 3-D printer has suddenly morphed into an off-the-shelf technology, with big implications for R&D and society at large. The printers, which create physical objects directly from digital renderings, could revolutionize the manufacture of everything from pharmaceuticals to automobiles.
In one notable application, chemists at the University of Glasgow last year developed a method [pdf] for assembling chemical compounds using open-source software and a pair of $2,000 3-D printers. One printer's robotically controlled syringe deposited gels that hardened into half of a reaction vessel. A second printer painted chemical compounds into the shell, which was sealed by the first printer. The compounds then combined in the completed reaction vessel, creating new, previously unsynthesized chemicals.
As a test, the Scottish team soon plans to use a similar process to create a common painkiller, ibuprofen. In the future, automated labs outfitted with just a few chemical printers and an Internet connection might make custom-tailored medicines on demand in your doctor's office, says study author Lee Cronin.
Also this year, a team of Belgian engineers printed a full-sized race car, suggesting a more efficient alternative to assembly lines. In another, more politically charged development, an American gunsmith printed functioning parts for a .22-caliber pistol. Soon after, a group called Defense Distributed generated controversy when it announced a project to create a fully printable 3-D gun and then make its plans freely available on the Internet. The group raised $20,000 before the company from which it had rented its printer revoked the lease and reclaimed it, citing legal issues. Defense Distributed, however, remains committed to its goal of making 3-D printed guns commonplace.

Maja Hitij / Staff
PITTSBURGH (Newsradio 1020 KDKA) - Frzy is over halfway through his record-breaking freestyle attempt, and Primanti's has raised the stakes.
Frzy, the Emmy-winning rapper, is trying to set a new record for the longest freestyle rap.
Currently, the Pittsburgh-based rapper is the middle of his attempt to break the Guinness world Record.
Harvey Daniels, better known by his "Frzy" stage name, is undertaking a major challenge to rap for a nonstop 31 hours.
The event is being held at and sponsored by the Block Northway, while Frzy takes the stage for those 31 hours.
Frzy started his rap on Saturday, January 11 at 10 a.m.
Primanti's has upped the ante with a new proposal, though.
If Frzy raps for 33 hours instead of the originally planned 31 hours, then the restaurant will offer him a year's supply of sandwiches.
Frzy's freestyle was first planned to end at 5 p.m. on Sunday, but that could change given the new potential bonus that Primanti's has offered.
UPDATE: Frzy has succeeded in breaking the world record.

What is 7-11?
24/7 convience store that should be name 24/7 instead.
I went to 7/11 today. I bought a pizza. Unfortunatly, I found a toe in my pizza. Hey, it still taste good.
7-11 is the historical name ascribed to the most prevalent naturally occuring inconvenience store. Known since antiquity, 7-11 has become the world's foremost purveyor of toxically unhealthy processed food products. Also notable are the frictionless tile floors and the uniformly East Indian service staff.
7-11 has been a recognized natural phenomenon since the dawn of recorded history.
It is believed that the 7-11 was a natural evolution of the 7-10, a prehistoric herd animal. 7-10 were common when the entire landmass of Earth was concentrated into one supercontinent, Pangaea. Herds of 7-10 freely roamed the continent, having only one natural predator - the Chuck Norris. The massive evolutionary strain induced by such a formidable foe necessitated a new evolutionary strategy.
The first 7-11 was created by a confluence of the superintelligent East Indians and a herd of 7-10. This new symbiotic strategy proved successful - so successful, in fact, that individual members could survive without the protection of the herd. 7-11 spread to every corner of the supercontinent before the famed breakup of Pangaea (actually caused by one of Chuck Norris' temper tantrums) and so were located around the planet when humans showed up some hundreds of millions of years later.
The influence of the 7-11 on humanity has been tremendous. Former hunter/gatherer societies, upon finding a cluster of 7-11, would settle there rather than continuing their nomadic lifestyle. With the relief of the burden of constantly searching for food, humans were free to develop other primitive activities, such as religion and the killing of innocent people. It is at this point in history that we see the first evidence of Norris worship, including human sacrifice and execution by roundhouse kicking. The first cities developed around herds of 7-11, and wars were common between those who had access to 7-11 and those who did not have such privilege.
7-11 continues to be a major world influence.

India's National Centre for Radio Astrophysics becomes the 11th full SKA Organisation member
1 1 August 2014, SKA Organisation HQ, Jodrell Bank, UK – Following ratification by the Board of Directors, India's National Centre for Radio Astrophysics (NCRA) has now become the 11th full member of SKA Organisation.
"NCRA's full membership cements India's intention to play an important part in the SKA, and shows the project is steadily moving forward, with more countries expected to join in the near future," said Professor Philip Diamond, the SKA Organisation Director General.
NCRA first joined SKA Organisation in April 2012 as an Associate Member, indicating its intention of becoming a Full Member during the pre-construction phase of the project. NCRA has, in fact, been involved in the SKA project since the project's earliest days and was one of the institutions that signed an agreement in 1997 to develop technologies for a large-scale radio telescope.
In November 2013, SKA Organisation attributed 10 work packages representing the various elements of the SKA to 10 international consortia drawn from nearly one hundred institutions, universities and industry around the world to participate in the analysis and design of the components of the SKA during its three year detailed design phase.
NCRA, a centre of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, is leading the Telescope Manager consortium, a key element of the SKA telescope focused on developing all hardware and software necessary to control the telescope, including the software needed to schedule telescope operations and monitor the status of each of the SKA's thousands of dishes and antenna stations. NCRA is also a participant in the Signal and Data Transport and Central Signal Processing work packages of the SKA.
Professor Yashwant Gupta, who is leading the Telescope Manager consortium at NCRA, has been appointed as NCRA's representative on SKA Organisation's Board of Directors.
"We are very happy to further strengthen our involvement with the SKA. The SKA is one of India's key science priorities of the next decade and we are proud to represent our country in this exciting international science collaboration," he said following the decision.
Prof. S.K. Ghosh, Centre Director at NCRA further added that "Involvement in the SKA will also benefit next generation improvements in projects in India such as the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT), built and operated by NCRA".
The proposal to transfer NCRA's full membership status to the Government of India is under active consideration by the Government. The transfer would ensure a wider participation of other interested parties in India and secure the long-term participation of India in the project.
The SKA project is an international effort to build the world's largest radio telescope, with a square kilometre (one million square metres) of collecting area. The scale of the SKA represents a huge leap forward in both engineering and research & development towards building and delivering a radio telescope, and will deliver a correspondingly transformational increase in science capability when operational.
Deploying thousands of radio telescopes, in three unique configurations, which will enable astronomers to monitor the sky in unprecedented detail and survey the entire sky thousands of times faster than any system currently in existence. The SKA telescope will be co located in Africa and in Australia. It will have an unprecedented scope in observations, exceeding the image resolution quality of the Hubble Space Telescope by a factor of 50 times, whilst also having the ability to image huge areas of sky in parallel. With a range of other large telescopes in the optical and infrared being built and launched into space over the coming decades, the SKA will perfectly augment, complement and lead the way in scientific discovery.
SKA Organisation, with its headquarters at Jodrell Bank Observatory, near Manchester, UK, was established in December 2011 as a not-for-profit company in order to formalise relationships between the international partners and to centralise the leadership of the project. Countries represented by full members in SKA Organisation are Australia, Canada, China, Germany, India, Italy, New Zealand, South Africa, Sweden, The Netherlands and the United Kingdom.
