Alon Confino, Professor of History at the University of Virginia, discussed his work on the connection between acts of racial violence against Jews during the Holocaust and the Nazis' reinvention of their understanding of time and history in his lecture on Monday, April 15. The talk was sponsored by the Class of 1960 Scholars and the Department of History.
On June 9, 1938, Nazi paramilitary forces and German mobs destroyed the property of thousands of Jews across Nazi Germany and Austria, and sent thousands more Jews off to concentration camps. Later called Krystallnacht, this night frequently began with a symbolic burning of the Hebrew Bible. Confino's talk used the burning of the Torah Scrolls on Krystallnacht as a starting point for a discussion about the Nazis' vision of their place in history in relationship with minority ethnic groups.
Emerging from a century of colonization in Africa and the Middle East, the Nazis saw European and especially German civilization as superior and destined to dominate its inferiors across the world. To make this claim, however, the Nazis had to reconstruct a well-defined European identity and culture that could fit in with their own ideology. In their efforts to create a new European civilization, the Nazis reinvented the German sense of time and teleology, constructing a history that led directly to the Nazi regime.
Jews challenged this sense of common European and German identity. With their own holy book and distinct sense of origins, the Jews represented the culmination of an alternate European history that did not fit in with the Nazis' self-image. The Nazis' ultimate goal, then, was to create a new German Christianity, as well as a European civilization independent of any non-German history. In his 1943 speech at Poznan, for example, SS commander Heinrich Himmler described the extermination of the Jews as "an unwritten and never-to-be-written page of glory in our history," thereby both erasing the Jews from German history and placing the extermination of the Jews as a step towards the ultimate goal of the glorification of the new German civilization. The Nazis therefore portrayed the Jews as everything that represented "un-German modernity": liberalism, democracy, pacifism, Communism.
Lying at the heart of this anti-Semitism, of course, was the uncomfortable sense that Judaism in fact lay at the roots of an aspect of European culture central to German identity, Christianity. The Nazis' cruelty towards the Jews, Confino argued, was rooted in a deep-seated fear of the Jews, a fear that most often provoked not only wanton cruelty but also resentful mockery. This view of Nazi anti-Semitism pushes against the traditional view of the Nazis as methodical, emotionless killers, and, in particular, highlights the tragedy of the Holocaust as symptoms of an underlying societal phenomenon of racism and racial fear that went well beyond the "cold-blooded killing" of the few in power, such as Himmel and Hitler.
Alon Confino, who grew up in Israel and received his B.A. at Tel Aviv University, is a professor of History at the University of Virginia.

I'm going to lump TV and movies together to keep things simple. If it's a dull, rainy day these are all shows or movies I might turn to.
10. Beauty and the Beast
Yes, there is a lot of criticism that can be leveled at this movie. It's definitely a film where someone can 'touch your Disney' and really pick it apart. But while I did enjoy Frozen (bought it last month) and appreciate it's message, I still feel very strongly that classic fairytales like Beauty and the Beast have their place. The Disney film is the adaptation that made Beauty and the Beast my favorite fairytale, so I feel this list would be incomplete without it.
09. The 10th Kingdom
This is a TV mini-series that is about ten hours long, and it bridges the gap between 'TV' and 'Movie" about as much as it does the gap between our world and a realm made up of fairytale kingdoms. This is one of the first works I saw that blended our world with one full of fantasy elements. This means it was probably one of the first things I saw that did this, and that it likely influenced my enjoyment of other stories that take place in multiple worlds.
08. The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Great music, an interesting and quirky plot, and lots of Tim Curry. What's not to love?
07. Sailor Moon
The show that started my love of anime. This is important since when I am writing I envision most of what I am working on as if it is done in an anime style. I don't know *why*, I just *do*.
06. The Princess Bride
C'mon, who doesn't love this movie?
05. Desperate Housewives
I usually don't go for contemporary styled TV, but the characters in Desperate Housewives are so compelling, and the plotlines get so shockingly twisted, that I can't look away. This is also a personal favorite (and I'm sure I'll say this about other shows) because the characters actually grow.
04. 10 Things I Hate About You
Ah, the movie that defined my own teen years. I wanted to be Katerina Strafford so bad. *laughs, shakes head* I had a heck of a time choosing between this, She's All That, Bring It On and Save The Last Dance. Legally Blonde was also a contender, though that wasn't a thing until my first year of University.
03. Avatar: The Last Airbender
I think what makes Avatar stand out for me is the fact that it has such fantastic depth of character while using animation rather than live action. I mean, seriously... Zoko has more depth than most antagonists in any artistic medium--he even receives redemption. If Sailor Moon fostered my love of animated entertainment that can tell an awesome story, Avatar proves that me aging has not taken away from the fact that it is possible for animation to do this time and again.
02. Mortal Kombat
I saw this movie for the first time when I was in 7th grade, and it has fueled my imagination as a writer ever since. I love the balance between various things like action, exploration, romance, and even humor. I was already invested in the characters and their plight since I played the games. And this, to me, is one of the (extremely rare!) video game movies that does not suck. In fact, (again, to me) this is one of my favorite movies of all time.
01. Farscape
If you like science fiction, fantasy and romance you owe it to yourself to check out Farscape. I've praised other things on this list for character development and continuity, but Farscape takes things one step further. Farscape is, of all TV series I've watched, the only one I've seen that truly feel like it has book quality storytelling. Plus (get this!) if Farscape was a book, it would likely be classified as romantic science fiction. (The only other thing I can think of that comes close is Lexx, and that gets all buggered up.) Science fiction and romance generally do not mix in the TV world, so for those who would like to watch some, and watch it done well, Farscape is a true gem.
So, what are your favorite movies and TV shows? Feel free to leave a comment or link me to your top ten Tuesday post. :)

Yesterday Harry Reid [D-NV] introduced Senate Resolution 608 – "A resolution relative to the death of Jesse Alexander Helms, Jr., former United States Senator for the State of North Carolina" – and the entire Sentate signed on as co-sponsors.
The resolution expresses "profound sorrow and deep regret" over the death of this racist prick and claims he "made invaluable contributions to his community, State, Nation, and the World."
When did gay bashing and race baiting become invaluable contributions to any community?
Anyway- here's the text, from the congressional record:
Whereas Jesse Alexander Helms, Jr., born in Monroe, North Carolina on October 18, 1921, spent a 52-year public career dedicating himself to his country, his family, and his home State, representing North Carolina in the United States Senate for 30 years;
Whereas Jesse Alexander Helms, Jr., served in the United States Navy from 1942 until 1945;
Whereas Jesse Alexander Helms, Jr., was educated in the public schools of Monroe, North Carolina and at Wingate Junior College and Wake Forest College, served as city editor of the Raleigh Times, administrative assistant to United States Senators Willis Smith and Alton Lennon, executive director of the North Carolina Bankers Association, member of the Raleigh City Council, and a television and radio executive;
Whereas Jesse Alexander Helms, Jr., was elected to the United States Senate in 1972, and served as Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the Senate Agriculture Committee, ultimately serving five terms, equal to the longest of any Senator from North Carolina;
Whereas Jesse Alexander Helms, Jr., was a leader against Communism and became the first legislator of any nation to address the United Nations Security Council;
Whereas Jesse Alexander Helms, Jr., was married for 65 years to Dorothy "Dot" Coble Helms, whom he termed his "best friend" and is the father of three children;
Whereas Jesse Alexander Helms, Jr., made invaluable contributions to his community, State, Nation, and the World;
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate has heard with profound sorrow and deep regret the announcement of the death of the Honorable Jesse Alexander Helms, Jr., former Member of the United States Senate.
Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate communicate these resolutions to the House of Representatives and transmit an enrolled copy thereof to the family of the deceased.
Resolved, That when the Senate adjourns today, it stand in adjournment as a further mark of respect to the memory of the Honorable Jesse Alexander Helms, Jr.
But yet you just love Robert the Racist Byrd, don't you? I bet you love Margaret Sanger, who in part started the abortion movement to wipe out "inferior races." The inherent racism in the so called progressive movement is astonishing, and more astonishing that you people refuse to accept it and project it onto others.
Inherent racism? This sounds a bit like projecting to me.
The difference between Byrd and Helms is pretty fucking obvious: Byrd renounced his earlier views on racial segregation.
Helms never did.
Instead, Helms just switched his public hatred to the gays.

It is time for the 2016-2017 choir year to begin, and we have decided to make some changes with the hopes that we may allow more children to have a chance to participate in praising God through song. This year, we are alternating practice times between Crossings and the 11 a.m. Celebration of Worship. It is our hope that children whose families worship at either hour will be able to take part in the choirs.
Children's Choir is open to all children in grades 1—5. The Middle School Choir will be for kids in grades 6—8. (Those kids are also encouraged to be "teen helpers" for the Children's Choir.) Even if your child has never been in the choir before, we hope he or she will give it a try this year. We will be singing on the first Sunday of each month. We will also lead worship at the 5 p.m. Christmas Eve Worship with our traditional Christmas Eve musical.
Our first practice will be held on Sunday, August 28, at 9 a.m. in RH13.
Choir director Betsy Charles and I are looking forward to a very special year with our Southminster singers!
Nancy Karras, Accompanist

MadBid's auction winners must be loving this notion that MadBid is a scam. I mean, if you can buy a brand new shiny iphone for 80% discount and shop in peace knowing that this concept will not catch on because everyone thinks it's a MadBid.com scam, well played madbidders, well played.
We want to take this time and go over some of the most memorable auction winners that would never tell you that MadBid auctions work, after all, the less bidders in auctions, the bigger the discounts right? So why spread the word?
Let's start with the car auction winners. While MadBid has been fortunate enough to grab the happy auction winners during car handovers, we are not holding our breaths that the word about MadBid auctions would spread 😉
Our favourite had to be the £6 Mini auction that closed back in 2008. Not only did the BBC interview the winner Sandeep Anantharaman, but the news spread like wild-fire across national newspapers for a good few months.
After Sandeep, car winners were rolling in one after the other. Mike gave us a great run through about his auction winning bidding strategy and Joseba was so excited, he recited everything he had for breakfast the day he found out he won the car auction. Mini Coopers seem to be the favourite car auctions on MadBid, but regardless of the car type, the average saving is 79% on all the MadBid car auctions. If you think that the car auction interviews that you see on YouTube are all willingly done by the auction winners, no no. The interviews are compulsory because the car is such a high ticket item and because it's the only real time that MadBid can have a chat with auction winners to find out what they really think about shopping on the website. You can find all the car handover videos in our Youtube car handover playlist to find bidding tips. Also, see if you notice some faces appear more than once, that's right some madbidders have bagged 2 cars. MadBid's auction winners love their privacy, some of them have bagged up to 200 MadBid auctions with huge discounts, but what the real secret behind their bidding strategy is, not even we know.
How do you know if a user is an experienced Madbidder?
They usually enter the auctions when the timer drops which mean the auction will soon close as the timer has more chance of running out when it's dropped to 5 seconds. Also, the regulars know how much the products tend to sell for in auctions, so if the last 5 laptops sold for £50 in auction, they know they should start bidding around that price range because they don't need to use up that many credits and still have all the chance of winning the auction. Regular bidders will be bidding on more than one auction. When they have the right bidding strategy, you will see their usernames appear on 2-3 high ticket items (we are not talking just placing one or 2 bids, full on bidding). And one of the most obvious ways to tell an experienced madbidder is by looking at the closed auctions page. If you see the same username appearing as the winner of the auctions, you will know that this bidder has the bidding strategy figured out. Do not worry about them winning all the auctions, there are winning limits per month in place.
So our advice is if you want to become one of the silently happy madbidders that walks away with 80% discounts in auctions, figure out who the regular bidders are and see what they do to bag the biggest bargains.

The Supreme Court handed down three decisions on Monday, two of which are noteworthy, and also granted review in one new case for its next Term, beginning in October.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture filed a lawsuit against Marvin and Laura Horne regarding their business, in which the Hornes produce and handle raisins. USDA imposed fines and sanctions against them after the Hornes refused to sell a percentage of their crop to the government at below-market price. The Hornes asserted as a defense that the Agriculture Department's fines were an unconstitutional taking of their property without compensation in violation of the Fifth Amendment Takings Clause.
The Ninth Circuit federal appeals court denied this defense, saying that the Hornes must file their own separate lawsuit in the Court of Federal Claims in Washington, D.C., and therefore that other federal courts lacked jurisdiction to consider the defense. In Horne v. Dep't of Agriculture, the Supreme Court held that federal courts do have jurisdiction to consider this Fifth Amendment claim raised as a defense against government actions. The case now goes back to the lower court.
Justice Clarence Thomas wrote for a unanimous Court, "In the case of an administrative enforcement proceeding, when a party raises a constitutional defense to an assessed fine, it would make little sense to require the party to pay the fine in one proceeding and then turn around and sue for recovery of that same money in another proceeding."
In the second newsworthy case from today, the Ex Post Facto Clause of the Constitution forbids the government from prosecuting someone for a crime if what they did was not a crime at the time they committed it, and instead became criminal only after they did it. If the law is changed to make something that is a crime more severe, this provision also forbids the government from imposing the new, harsher punishments on someone who committed that crime before it was enhanced.
In Peugh v. U.S., the Supreme Court held in a 5-4 decision written by Justice Sonia Sotomayor that when U.S. Sentencing Guidelines are revised, it violates the Ex Post Facto Clause to consider that new range of factors for someone who committed the crime before the revision.
Thomas wrote the main dissent, explaining that revising the Guidelines do not alter the punishment for the crime. Federal judges still have discretion on what punishment to impose, and since the Guidelines are advisory, seeking only to persuade judges how much weight to give various factors, the Guidelines carry no automatic legal effect to determine the punishment.
Also today, against the Obama administration's objections, the justices decided to hear arguments late this year in an arbitration case against Argentina. The Court also denied review today in a First Amendment challenge to a court injunction that restricted display of "gruesome" images in a church where children under age 12 were expected to see the pictures.
No word today on the blockbuster cases pending before the Court on affirmative action, voting rights, or gay marriage. The Court will hold another session this Thursday.
Breitbart News legal columnist Ken Klukowski is on faculty at Liberty University School of Law.

As if you didn't have enough to worry about during the divorce process, at the forefront is what to tell them while you and your spouse are, shall we say, not seeing eye to eye. The manner in which you both handle matters with your children will dictate how well they fare, and how quickly they will come to understand that although the family unit is splintered, it still exists; all that has changed is that they now have two parents living in two separate residences. That's the reality of the situation.
Sometimes, in our darkest hour, we forget that children are not mini-versions of adults. They are not equipped to deal with intimate details of the ineptness of your spouse, nor should they be expected to rush in and save the emotional day if one of you is behaving like a victim…but they will. Little kids who don't have the first idea of what they can possibly do to help, will stay awake at night making plans to try to make things better. This is diametricall opposed to the way children are hard-wired, and causes them an inordinate amount of stress. Wht they are really equipped to do is be who they are…irresponsible, self-centered, selfish, narcissistic individuals who don't want to be involved in anything that isn't "fun." This is normal, and this is exactly how they should be thinking, according to the theory that they are not going to really mature and make consistently good decisions until the age of 23 yers.
So, what do they really care about? Once you drop the bomb (and please do it gently, and with your spouse,e) about divorce, don't do it without a plan, because they really want to know if everything will turn out all right. This is when you get a free pass on a little fib…even if you don't know how things will turn out, make them believe that you haee things under control, and everything will be just fine. Have answers to questions such as, Where are we going to live, who am I going to live with, do we have to move, will i still have my own bedroom, can I take the dog, cat, gerbil, bird…Do I have to change schools, Will I still be able to see my friends?
Can you blame them? So far, they have lost any control to save their parent's marriage, they can't call a truce for you both, they can't put you guys in time out…all they can do to allay their fears and anxieties is to gather as much information as possible so they know what to expect in this uncharted territory. Even if you and your spouse can't agree on anything else, agree on this; your children do not have to suffer emotional anguish. This is comletely within your control, because even with all the unknowns, some things will remain the same. They will always have two parents who love them, they will have old friends, and maybe some new ones, they will survive a move and even a change in schools, and they will not have to live in a cardboard box on the street.
Mostly they want to hear that no matter how much you might disagree with your spouse in the legal arena, tthey can count on you both to be civil, no, make that friendly, outside of court, for the sake of their little psyches. Your job as a parent is to shield your kids from the miseries they will encounter in life for as long as you can, and I suppose sharing a spot on the bleachers with your ex is as good a way as any to begin! Their world is supposed to be happy. Make that the only priority that matters, because waiting too long is waiting too long.

Well, I always try my best to excel when I was still in UP (ye know, honor and excellence ang peg namin eh). But I grew tired of it since my best wasn't good enough to some of my prof, but fortunately, I managed to finish my course on time. One thing that I regret the most was I just settled with mediocrity during the 2nd half of my college life (3rd and 4th year). I should have fought 'til the last day. But yeah, no regrets...just love. LolReplyDeleteReplies
That's the good thing about growing up and staying in a competitive environment - you will always try your best.Delete
Fight till the end! That's very inspiring to hear. Thanks Renz!

What Is A Bottle Warmer?
A bottle warmer is a small equipment that that heats your bottle of milk for feeding. Bottle warmers are those necessities mothers should not overlook because it standards are really made for infant feeding. Rather than microwave usage, the equipment warms up evenly your milk and does not leave any hot spots.
Want to warm up the milk you have in your fridge? No problem. It's better to have one of these bottle warmers and let it do the heating up for you.
Why Buy A Bottle Warmer?
Why don't we just microwave or heat the milk up in a cooking pot? We'll tell you why. You never boil, microwave or overheat a baby's food. With the best baby bottle warmer, instead of SWELTERING your stored breast milk, it'll bring it at the right temperature. Here are more reasons why you should consider buying a bottle warmer.
- Breast milk can be warmed up quickly and evenly
- Brings milk to the right temperature for babies
- It will not damage the nutritional value of his drink
- It's convenient for mothers who are traveling or co-sleeping with their child
- The baby bottle warmer would heat the milk quite faster than a microwave can!
Bottle warmers offer convenience. It saves time and so much hassle that you'll have to thank yourself over and over again for buying it. This is no salesy-talk. Giant Mommy experienced it herself!
What Are The Kinds Of Bottle Warmers?
In order to cater to the different needs of a mother, the market has created various prototypes of the product. Yep. You heard that one right. So, basically, there are three major kinds of the product. You've probably bumped into some of the words when reading loads of bottle warmer reviews.
Countertop bottle warmers
Its name says it all! Countertop warmers are bottle heaters that, well, sit on a countertop. It's the most used bottle warmer because it's really efficient. It's not huge and fits just right in your kitchen or bed table.
So, if you're room sharing or co-sleeping with your child, evening nurse feedings are a breeze if you have a countertop bottle warmer beside you.
You think, this, maybe the best bottle warmer? Check out the other one.
Portable and travel bottle warmers
While many people often differentiate the two, we really opt to have it as the same. Both items can be carried, turned on with batteries and can be plugged into a car.
These bottle warmers can be taken anywhere with or without the need of an outlet. For example, if you have a long trip to go, and your baby is hungry, you can pop your cold bottled milk in the warmer and heat it up. Simple and efficient, we say.
Now that we have rounded up the two types of bottles, we'll help you distinguish the factors and features you need to look when buying the best baby bottle warmer.
Features Of A Baby Bottle Warmer To Look For
Before looking for the best bottle warmer, there are a few things to know about before swiping your card or handing out the moolah to the cashier. So, what do you want in a bottle warmer? Does it suit your lifestyle? After figuring out your needs, it's time know the features you want to see in the item. We've listed them here for you.
Yes, it's a baby bottle warmer, but don't you know you can heat up milk storage bags or glass containers of your baby's food? The size of the warmer space should meet your needs, but if you want a bigger space to heat up your bags and glasses, then you have to look for the perfect bottle warmer that says it all. It's all available in the market.
Warming levels
A baby bottle warmer has different warming levels depending on how hot the milk will be. Either you want a quick reheat or a longer warming session, a bottle warmer will keep that certain temperature you choose for a long time.
Water collection
You need water to heat or steam your milk, and with that, some bottle warmers offer a "reservoir." These warmers keep your water levels in check and don't let you refill every time you use them.
Auto shut-off mechanics
In order not to burn or overheat your milk, bottle warmers have an automatic timer according to your adjusted minutes, temperature, or available water.
Ease of usage
Why would you want to buy something that's hard to use or clean? Look for a bottle warmer that has easy-to-read labels when warming or sterilizing your milk and other baby items.
Do you want your bottle to be clean and germ-free? Or your child's pacifiers and bottle nipples? You may want a bottle warmer that can do all of these!
There are plenty of features you have to look for. We've placed the most needed ones for you to stay watch in the market. And with that, we present to you the five best baby bottle warmer for your child.

Giant Mommy Knows What's Best
Do you know what the best bottle warmer is for your kid? Giant Mommy has tried and even sourced out some mommies for their bottle warmer reviews. And do you know what we've found?
Basing from our metrics like safety, ease of use, and interviews from our mommies, they said that they love the First Years Quick Serve Bottle Warmer. And we can say why!
Perhaps its versatility is what makes parents love them so much because it can fit any bottle inside. Its ease and efficiency in use makes it a top choice why they are wanted most in the market today. A plus side of the First Years Quick Serve Bottle Warmer is that it has a lid to protect it from any dirt and debris while sterilizing.
Though parents have to refill the bottle warmer, it's not a reason to actually dislike the product. More so, when using the item, just be sure to clean it, so that it won't stain. It will take time to heat your milk, that's given. You should have pre-heat already while waiting for your baby to cry.
All in all, it's a great product with amazing features.

I may be the only person old enough in the Canadian and Inuit Art departments to remember the craze of "having your colours done". Trained colour consultants would be engaged to find colours for their clients to wear that best complemented their complexion, eyes, and hair colour, thereby enhancing one's attractiveness and boosting one's confidence. People were categorized as Seasons. Cool colour palettes were "Winters", warm muted colours were "Falls". You get the idea.
We know colour can have a powerful effect on us. Whether dramatic, sophisticated, soothing or subtle, colour impacts our mood and carries varied - even contradictory- cultural meaning. Our reaction to colour serves both a biological purpose, and an aesthetic ambition.
Each season, one of our favourite projects leading up to the auction preview, which begins tomorrow (dates and times below), is determining the set up of our preview gallery in order to best enhance the works of art being offered that season. This involves decisions about layout, placement of lots, lighting and choice of wall colour. While I suspect I can be somewhat dictatorial about some of these decisions, the fact is they are largely predetermined by the sale itself. Once we reach our consignment deadline and begin laying out our catalogue, it becomes very apparent that we have a "blue" sale or a "coral" sale or a "violet" sale. Inevitably, one colour or two seems to dominate, and the rest falls into place accordingly.
This year, several key paintings inspired our choice of wall colour and we have developed spaces that contain families of paintings and sculpture which play off one another. They have been set in environments that have been prepared to enhance your ability to read them and enjoy them.
While Russell Foster, a neuroscientist at Oxford, maintains "The whole point of colour vision is not to inspire poets, but to allow contrast detection," (Tom Chivers, February 2015, The Telegraph), I can't help but take a slightly less scientific position. And while I can't argue with an Oxford intellect, I hope the layout and design of our saleroom both pleases and inspires you. Please join us this season for a dose of chromotherapy.
(Oh, and in case you were wondering, I'm a "Summer").

The world's tallest man, who had grown to 2.60 meters (8.5 feet) by age 44, has died from complications associated with the condition that was the cause of his ceaseless growth.
Leonid Stadnyk had withdrawn from public attention after being briefly named by the Guinness World Records as the world's tallest man in 2007. Stadnyk refused to be measured by the records organization, and the title was returned to Bao Xishun of China, who stood at 2.36 meters (7 ft 9 in)
Stadnyk lived at his mother's house in a village in northern Ukraine. Stadnyk said that his height did him more harm than good.
During the latter part of his life, Stadnyk's condition had caused him to quit his employment as a veterinarian and even made it difficult to walk.
Stadnyk occupied himself with gardening and tending livestock at home. He held onto the limbs of trees and the side of his house to walk about.
Stadnyk's condition began after a brain surgery operation performed on him at age 14. Stadnyk developed a pituitary gland tumor, which caused the production of large amounts of growth hormone–a condition known as acromegalic gigantism. However, twenty years after the operation, the tumor was found to have mysteriously disappeared.
Stadnyk died of a cerebral hemorrhage Sunday, according to his mother.

So if you were a fan of American Hustle or City of God, then Hyenas Blood could definitely be one for you. It's short and sharp, but also fun and quirky.
Belying it's short film genesis, Hyena's Blood instead plays like a Hollywood blockbuster. The momentum of the film keeps the film moving and the viewer wondering if the train really is going to come off the tracks! ! ! All in all, Hyena's Blood is a bold, driven, high octane film that pulls no punches. Stylish, dangerous and decadently fun to watch!
If you have an aversion to blood, boobs or 70s hairstyle, look away!
All in all, Hyena's Blood is a bold, driven, high octane film that pulls no punches. Stylish, dangerous and decadently fun to watch, director Nicolas Caicoya is a cinematic force to be reckoned with.
Pure B-Movie without truce. With Glimpses from Sam Peckinpah to Jim Thompson.
This is epic! One of the better trailer's I've ever seen.. including feature films!
HYENA'S BLOOD is one of the most anticipated shorts of the year!
Drug trafficking between USA and México is unfortunately recurrent news all over the world. Politicians have told us for decades that the drug crisis was about to be solved...But the truth is quite the opposite: it's getting worse.
What people don't know is that trouble with Mexico started during the Second World War, more precisely when Turkey became a Nazi ally, thus cutting America's access to opium. This posed an issue on many levels since morphine, used for medical purposes, is a byproduct of "poppy slash heroine". However, before the American army ran out of their stock of morphine they established some bilateral agreements with México to become their new supplier. The military went to Mexico and planted the "amapola" fields guaranteeing that they would be destroyed once the war was over. When the conflict was over some of those fields were burned, but not all. One pound of heroin had become much more attractive than one pound of corn. These agreements were kept secret and some historians will even dispute their veracity. The downside of today's overabundance of information is that we find ourselves negotiating between large volumes of approaches and perspectives to the same problem...and inevitably arguments often ending in deadlocks of meaning impair our capacity to react and act.
This short film is the result of my investigation into an issue that I did not fully understand and that I still grapple with. The only thing I feel comfortable saying is that what we have done so far has been useless. The harder the law hits the more explosive and destructive criminality's answer is. Perhaps a "war against" is the wrong approach. War is a living organism that differs significantly from ours; unlike the human body it does not decompose over time... It's an organism that feeds itself with fear, weapons, violence, offshore bank accounts, and tons of pain. War doesn't know what scientist call "senescence"—or biological aging; war's DNA will keep on replicating until the end of time if we let it do so. A war against drugs, by virtue of its nature, cannot have an end; it cannot and will not have winners and losers. That's why this critical situation needs a completely new and much more mindful approach. What we need, in my mind, is a policy that is miles away from the hypotrophy and the myopia that characterizes our current politicians and their solutions to these pressing issues.

I'm very insecure about my chest and Dr. Day has made me so comfortable to the point that I am super excited to have my breast augmentation surgery. I also LOVE the staff! I have called several times and asked SO MANY questions, and the ladies actually take the time on the phone to talk and explain everything to you without any rush, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!

Dr. Day,
Words cannot express my gratitude for what you have done for me. All my life I have identified myself as a woman with my breasts, but when cancer stole that from me I lost all my sense of self worth. Your skillful artisanship has restored and renewed that within me once again. I know having breasts does not make me a woman, but honestly having them back makes me more confident. I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am to you have done for me and for changing my life!

Dear Dr. Day,
I wish I had a more spectacular way to tell you thank you! It is wonderful to look in the mirror theses days. While I feel youthful and vibrant on the inside, I think you have made my appearance more in harmony with those feelings. I feel more confident and self assured as a result. I also want to thank you for the respect with which you treat me. You have never trivialized my concerns. Good luck to you in your career. You are a genius! An artist!

Dr. Day and Staff,
I would like to take a minute of your time to share with you my thoughts and feelings on this journey I have taken with you. The procedure I underwent was something I have considered for about four to five years. When I first came to your office, I had done my best to educate myself on the realities of the procedure. Then, Dr. Day put everything clearly into perspective for me. Unfortunately, I had some outside forces that caused me to prolong the surgery and you and your staff understood. Finally, the time was right and you made things happen for me. Your care and concern meant everything to me during my pre-op appointment with you. Then, the morning of surgery you continued to make me feel important, worthy, and very well taken care of. Thank you! I am still on the beginning of this journey, it has only been nine days since my surgery but what an incredible difference I feel about myself. Thank you, Dr. Day. Thank you and your staff for your continued support and praise.
Very Sincerely Yours,

The iconic 1964 Trabant 601, infamous for its reputation as possibly the worst car ever made. In fact in many ways the Trabant is ingenious in design and intelligent in manufacture, but it ain't a race car. Enjoy the Trabi experience in all 7 craptastic original colours. The Trabant 1.8T is a Trabant rerofitted with a 1.8L engine from an Audi TT for a ton of tyre-smoking fun.

Oh Snap! It's the USTCC GTI V1.2! Besides featuring totally new wheels (compliments of A-rod), the handling is slightly massaged, the interior redone (sorry to Val for the last version-this should fix that), and the torque peak is lowered a tad. The result: one sweet handling, sweet driving ride. Enjoy, and safe driving!

Vauxhall Vectra BTCC 1.1 This is my version of the Vauxhall Vectra entered in the British Touring Car Championship this year. The car is run by VXR Racing for Vauxhall and constructed by Triple Eight Racing to the FIA Super 2000 rules as used in the World Touring Car Championship. I'm hoping this will be the first car in a new class for the Redline Racing League based on the same Super 2000 rules. Many thanks to X-trac for help with available gear ratios for this class of car. slowDan
VectorW8 v1.05.40 MB | By Anonymous

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Vector W8 was the first American super car produced from 1989 to 1993. It was manufactured by Vector Aeromotive (see Vector Supercars), and was designed by Gerald Wiegert, and David Kostka. The newest, and most advanced methods of manufacture were used in building the W8s, justifying the name "Aeromotive Engineering." Group C racing technology came into play with the aluminum honeycomb semi-monicoque, and roughly 5,000 aircraft specification rivets. Everything on the Vector was designed to last the life of the owner, given that the owner maintained the vehicle. The body was made largely of lightweight carbon kevlar, known for its strength, and lightness. Just 22 W8s were produced (17 customer cars and two pre-production cars, the prototype W2, and two prototype Avtech WX-3 with a mock up of the 7.0 liter DOHC TT engine evolution), the car retailing for up to 455,000 USD new (on today's used market they are available from less than 200,000, to well over 1,000,000) The car was based around a Rodeck resleevable V8 engine racing engine, coupled to a three-speed B+M modified transmission. The engine had twin turbochargers, which produced an advertised 625 hp (634 PS/466 kW) at 5700 rpm and 834 N·m (650 ft·lbf) of torque. The W8 had an estimated top speed of 200+ mph (338 km/h). However, in testing at the Bonneville Salt Flats, the W-2 reached 242 mph (389 km/h) with the less powerful Donovan block as reported by Top Wheels magazine. This was reached while still using the "high downforce" wing. Later aerodynamic testing further honed efficiancy bringing Cd. down to just .32 prior to DOT crash testing in Ann Arbor, MI. Some may notice the subtle changes to the body from the first car, through the later cars. These include the elimination of some gills, a lower front facia, and air splitter, revised rear wing, mirror intakes, and front grill. All in all, this lead to substantial downforce without needing the W-2's massive rear wing. Evidence of the aerodynamic capablities exsist today, as seen on a video on Jabbasworld, Youtube, and Nthimage. After the top speed testing was completed, no more Vector W8's were fitted with a removable glass roof, as buffeting occurred at those extreme speeds. The W8 was essentially an upgrade of the same company's earlier prototype, the Vector W2. Among the famous customers for the car was tennis star Andre Agassi, who had his car delivered for his birthday party. Late that night, he had an infamous incident when his car locked up, and spun during excessive speeds without all the necessary radiators installed. He was half way from his home towared Las Vegas. Vector claims that this is because he demended for his car before it could be finished, and he ignored their recommendations not to drive it until they could do the final work.[citation needed] Vector intended to follow the W8 with the Vector WX-3 and Vector WX-3R, but series production never got off the ground. Production of the W8 ended in 1993, when the company was illegally taken over by Megatech, but Wiegert won back the design copyrights, equipment, and remaining unsold cars, including the car in a VW museum in Germany. A red W8 made a rare appearance in the 1993 movie Rising Sun starring Sean Connery and Wesley Snipes. The car was owned by the character Eddie.

What's Your Challenge?
Enhanced collaboration among geoscientists and engineers extracts maximum value from subsurface data, resulting in improved hydrocarbon recovery. However, the explosive growth in the unconventional space has left a significant gap in the ability of oil companies to answer critical questions that lead to inconsistent well production, and increased OPEX and CAPEX.
As oil companies search for opportunities to optimize their exploration, drilling, and production efforts in complex reservoirs that were previously not economic, operators are forced to address multiple challenges that historically have acted as barriers to success.
- What areas will be the most productive and profitable?
- How do we drill the fewest wells and leverage their trajectory to make the most of reservoir properties, including geomechanical attributes like brittleness and features like natural fractures?
- How do we design wells that best connect natural and induced fractures with the least number of hydrofrac stages?
- What hydrofrac engineering and completion techniques will maximize our production and ROI?
The answers to these questions cannot be found in traditional silos because they require a truly interdisciplinary approach that starts with oil finders' DNA combined with integrated workflows and technology.
Having confidence about where to drill, where and how to frac and complete, and where to invest requires dynamic GeoEngineering models that can adapt for proper understanding of today's complex heterogeneous reservoirs. Combining best-in-class geoscience and engineering technology, SIGMA³ Integrated Reservoir Solutions leverages decades of industry experience to generate high-resolution subsurface models constrained by seismic and well data. Via our proprietary Real-Time Dynamic Earth Modeling™ (RTDM) workflow, real-time completions data and microseismic events are integrated and interpreted in tandem with the geologic models, well geometries, and reservoir property predictions – leading to better drilling decisions, and better business outcomes for clients.
SIGMA³ offers technology, expertise and services ranging from reservoir understanding, field development planning to production optimization. This integration of geoscience and engineering forms the foundation of SIGMA³ GeoEngineering solutions, including earth modeling and imaging; seismic-driven reservoir characterization and Continuous Fracture Modeling (CFM™); hydrofrac engineering design and microseismic fracture and field monitoring.
Oil and gas operators are looking for insight about how to drill and complete their wells and maximize reservoir potential across the life of the asset. SIGMA³ believes that smart use of fit-for-purpose technologies in a Real-Time Dynamic Modeling workflow gives E&P companies the power to implement the best solution and enhance production efforts, reduce drilling and completion costs, and drive profitability.
Success Through Integration of Geoscience, Engineering & Real-Time Microseismic Monitoring
Managing the life cycle of the petroleum asset requires true integration of the geoscience and engineering disciplines to optimize performance in the primary phases of exploration, drilling and production. In each phase, critical questions must be addressed to assure the success of the asset-based business.
Reservoir Understanding
The process starts with Reservoir Understanding by answering the questions "Where do we explore?" and "How do we reduce risk?". Understanding the reservoir is the essential first step in the asset workflow that is enabled by integrated technologies and expertise in the fields of:
- Earth Modeling & Imaging
- Integrated Interpretation
- Quantitative Seismic Analysis
- Prospect Evaluation & Risking
Well Positioning & Field Planning
Once the reservoir is defined from seismic data, the next step in the process is to drill and complete/frac wells safely and cost effectively through Well Positioning & Field Development Planning by answering the questions, "Where and how should we drill?" and "Where and how do we frac?". Drilling and completion operations are typically 40-50% of the E&P budget, so addressing these questions in a robust way is essential to success. This must be enabled by integrated technologies and expertise in the fields of:
- Reservoir & Fracture Properties Prediction
- Pore Pressure & Geohazards Prediction
- Well Design & Completion Design
- Continuous Wellbore Imaging
- Well Operations Monitoring (RTO)
Production Optimization
After the reservoir has been penetrated, logged and evaluated and the data are used to update the reservoir model, the next step is to use all of the information to design and implement a production plan that will maximize the recovery from the asset and with "Time-to-Cash" (T2$TM) in mind.
The primary question in Production Optimization is "How do we maximize reserves?". This process must be enabled by integrated technologies and expertise in the fields of:
- Reservoir Management
- Quantitative Reservoir Simulation
- Microseismic Field/Frac Monitoring
- Integrated Geomechanics
- Active, Passive & Continuous Seismic Monitoring
All three phases of the process must act in a seamless fashion, transforming the traditional static reservoir model of the 20th Century into the Dynamic Reservoir Model of the 21st Century, where information is constantly updated and learning never ceases.
Turn Uncertainty into Actionable Knowledge
Through a truly integrated, reservoir-centric portfolio of technology, expertise and services, SIGMA³ Integrated Reservoir Solutions™ delivers an unprecedented level of integration that spans reservoir understanding to production optimization.
We provide the highest level of service to:
- Help operators understand their reservoirs and reduce uncertainty
- Assure safe operations
- Maximize the value of every dollar spent on exploration, drilling and production
- Fundamentally transform workflows and processes with world-class expertise, experience, technology and software

GFM Brakes for Kids as Part of the UnitedHealthcare, Children's Hospital Colorado and USA Pro Cycling Challenge Partnership Announcement
GroundFloor Media (GFM) has served as Children's Hospital Colorado's (Children's Colorado) agency of record for the past five years. Recently, GFM was asked to coordinate a media event that capitalized on the buzz and excitement of the USA Pro Cycling Challenge to launch Bikes for Life. A partnership between Children's Colorado, UnitedHealthcare and the USA Pro Cycling Challenge, Bikes for Life is a new three-year program designed to promote the health benefits of cycling to Colorado's youth, helping curb the growing prevalence of childhood obesity. The initiative provides bicycles and helmets to kids in the Denver metro region to promote the health and safety initiatives of Children's Colorado's Children's Health Advocacy Institute.
With just two weeks to plan and execute the event, the GFM team went to work. The team facilitated partner meetings, developed and presented a program overview with ideas for the launch event, program rollout and future partnerships. In addition, GFM drafted and coordinated support materials including launch event press release, spokesperson bios and talking points. Bikes for Life was launched publicly during a media event on Aug. 29, 2011 – the day after the pro cycling tour ended. GFM worked in partnership with UnitedHealthcare and the USA Pro Cycling Challenge to generate traditional and social media interest for the event.
Online posts included photos and video coverage of the event on the USA Pro Cycling Challenge Facebook page, which has nearly 44,000 "likes." The USA Pro Cycling Challenge team also tweeted about the event to its more than 8,700 Twitter followers. GFM reinforced this effort by drafting status posts for the USA Pro Cycling Challenge's Facebook page leading up to the event, and coordinating photo posts on the Children's Colorado Facebook page, which has more than 9,000 "likes."
The event generated widespread local media coverage, as well as national and international coverage in outlets such as CNBC, Reuters, Calgary Herald, RoadBicycles.org, and Health News Today, to name a few. Locally, Denver-area TV stations covered the story, and it was also featured in The Denver Post and numerous other newspapers throughout the state.
Overall, the Bikes for Life launch was a tremendous success that brought together key health care leaders and resources on a tight turnaround to capitalize on the energy around cycling throughout the state of Colorado and improve health and fitness opportunities for the next generation.

I ordered two books to get into the mood before the trip and they both arrived today! The first is "The Sweet Life in Paris" by David Lebovitz, a pastry chef and blogger who moved to Paris. The first couple chapters I read this morning were hilarious and completely entertaining. I also ordered "The Art of Renaissance Florence (1400-1600)". I'm a total art history geek—when I flipped thorough this beautiful book I'm ashamed to admit I was totally salivating. Michelangelo, Raphael, Ghiberti, Brunelleschi, Botticelli, Donatello, oh my!

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Utica is among 11 communities nationwide that will share $21 million in grants for summer jobs programs aimed at helping disadvantaged youth, the White House and U.S. Department of Labor said Monday.
Utica will use the money to help 400 students in the city's refugee population receive summer work experience and part-time jobs the rest of the year, White House officials said.
The Utica students also will receive tutoring in English and math as part of the New Americans Career Pathways Project.
The federal money is part of the Summer Opportunity Project launched by the White House in February. The goal is to increase work opportunities for students, while at the same time decreasing the percentage of youth involved in violence over the summer months.
President Barack Obama's administration launched the effort after a study found that almost 46 percent of youth who applied for summer jobs last year were turned down.
The other cities and counties awarded grants today are Portland, Oregon; Milwaukee; Hartford, Conn.; Chicago; Santa Maria, Calif.; Detroit; Indianapolis; Philadelphia; tribal counties in California,Illinois and Iowa; and the Franklin Hampshire region of Massachusetts.
