Babymel Robyn convertible backpack is rated out of 5 by 13.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Vicky from Amazing product This was bought when I had my 2nd baby and I absolutely love it. It has enough space to carry the baby items and my toddler items. It is stylish and it also has 2 straps on the top which strap onto the buggy. I much prefer this over the yummy mummy changing bag

Rated 3 out of 5 by Emmz from Gutted! I loved this bag when it arrived, so pretty, great size, I can fit everything in it that I need for a toddler, 5 year old and our dog and I can wear it on my back (I thought) so hands free for the dog lead and children... Wrong! The straps are set too wide for my shoulders so the bag just drops off and ends up swinging round, so frustrating having to hold the straps so it doesn't swing round when I bend down to my toddler and hit her and constantly pulling the straps back up. I'm really gutted as I loved the bag but it's unusable for my requirements as I can't wear it as a backpack which is why I bought it. I am petite however I have never had this problem with any other backpack ever.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Lottie from Good bag few down sides Had the bag for about 18 months, was definitely the best looking backpack style changing bag about and I still love the way it looks. Lots of compartments and pockets. Only things that aren't perfect are the two elasticated pockets inside are not easy to get into when the bag is not even completely full and the lining inside has ripped away from the bag where the pockets get pulled down by other items in the bag. The zip pocket inside is also another compartment I don't use very much but the two outside pockets and front compartment are so useful and I love them. I love the changeable straps, they're only uncomfortable to wear when I'm not wearing sleeves as they rub on my arms.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Emma from Difficult to use I bought this bag as I now have two children under 15 months and thought that it seemed spacious and liked that I could wear it as a backpack but also over the shoulder. However, other than the fact is can attach it to my pram I haven't been overly pleased with the useability if the bag. I find it very difficult to find things within the bag. The pockets seems to sink beneath everything inside the bag and therefore to be able to find anything I almost have to empty the bag. As I have previously said, I also bought it because I could wear it in my back however, in doing so I find it incredibly uncomfortable as the plastic pieces to tighten and loosen the straps are incredibly chunky and therefore rub on the inside of your arms- again a reason now to you it. Not my favourite baby purchase!

statistics continue to show that fewer women are choosing computer work as a career or an educational path. as the number of high-tech jobs increase and the demand for high-tech skills continues to explode, the number of women pursuing those skills and filling those jobs continues to decrease. women are using computers and the internet for social/leisure activities as much as men do, but computer classes for network engineering and software development are still almost exclusively male-dominated.
while the u.s. department of education's most recent studies are from the mid-'90s, the results showed that less than 30 percent of comp-sci degrees were awarded to women, a drop of almost 10% from the mid-'80s. that old stat was mirrored recently at university of illinois/urbana-champaign, where the past two graduating classes in computer science have been only 14% female.
another recent report from the american association of university women showed that girls were not attracted to the thought of being geeks in technical careers spending way too many hours in front of a terminal in a windowless office.
for much more information, please see the associated press article.
sam's opinion
the ap piece is short and well worth the read, regardless of your gender and tech orientation. the article has some awesome comments from the aauw study, including my favorite: "the reason why you see more men doing computer stuff is that girls are more ambitious than that." how perfect is that?
in my last job i worked in a hospital information technology department where most of the management positions were filled by women, including the cio. i'd say the gender breakdown in the department must've been pretty close to 50%, and that included analysts, programmers, network folk, pc techs, dbas, help desk, etc. apparently, that experience is truly rare. i do know more guys who are in the tech industry than women, but i'd heard tell that more females were getting into computers/technology as the job market became so amazing. perhaps i was misinformed.
there are already lots of programs (both corporate-sponsored and otherwise) designed to get more women into computers, but i think the most effective way to even the tech gender gap is happening naturally: as more and more women of all ages become accustomed to having computers in every part of their lives and using them (for e-mail, e-commerce, instant messaging, personal finance, word processing, job tasks, etc.), more and more women will take classes and teach their children to take classes, etc. there are also more and more high-profile females in the computer world, including hp's carly fiorina, who is kicking butt.
i don't think there's anything intrinsically "male" about computers or technology or geekdom, and i think more time will prove me right. it's a giant generalization to say that women are better at socializing than men and therefore have alternatives to sitting in front of computers all day and night and mutating into geekdom. plus, i imagine many many women would claim the opposite is true. so i'm predicting that within the next 4-7 years the gender gap will diminish significantly. if woman truly "are more ambitious than that" they'll start getting those computer skills under their belts faster than a gaggle of gigahertz processors.

hogwash (4:20pm est wed jul 05 2000)
i saw a piece similar to this on slashdot this week. it disturbed me quite a bit, since it is inconsistent with my own (male-based) understanding and observation of the tech world.
i am married to a geek, and have two mini-geek daughters. the it department i work in is only one-third female, but i believe that is because of my pointy-haired boss' own prejudices, not because of any lack of female geeks.
this topic of discussion has bugged me enough lately that i posted my concerns to a local geek listsrv, where roughly half the members are women.
the consensus that i got from this group of geeks was that while women still have a glass ceiling (sometimes concrete) in management and other careers, high tech is the one place where they all felt that they are being judged and evaluated solely on their abilities and not on gender.
most of the women in the group were not educated in technical fields though, while most of the men were. my wife, for example, got her ba in philosophy and feminist studies. she ended up as a coder because she needed to try her hand at something that paid well, an area where philosophy is greatly lacking. now she's a bonafide geek!
i think i am seeing the linkage here. women really are avoiding the pursuit of technical education in school, but once out here in the real world, they seem to be moving toward high-tech after trying other careers where they are truly discrimated against.
once again, my two-cents.

chicks! (9:24pm est wed jul 05 2000)
its a shame… i can't talk about graph theory algorithms converted to programming languages to organize a true pixel morph with chicks! anything that brings less women into this business is bad! :)
seriously, though, it may end up being a problem. women may even have it easier later on to join such programs because of the low numbers, just like afirmative action works based on race across entire schools in these politically correct days. will such actions lower the bar of standards? maybe, only time will tell. *shrug* my comp-u-girl hunting instinct tells me it's time to step away from ada and play with aim… :) – by suppertime
i read it, so it must be true (7:31am est thu jul 06 2000)
20 years ago this may have been true. sure, back then i was one of the few women attending trade shows like pc expo and tech training classes (and that was kinda fun!). but today? no way!
my fellow techie females and i have talked about the data collected in these surveys and decided that either (1) they're using really old data, (2) we are too busy getting work done (and playing with the new toys) to waste time filling out surveys!
– by webgrrls do exist!
haven't noticed this trend (10:55am est thu jul 06 2000)
both the manager of our support team and the cio are "y chromosome-less" individuals, not to mention our helpdesk staff, programmers, field support, etc.. etc.. etc.. – by razja7670
female geeks (11:23am est thu jul 06 2000)
i believe i'd have to agree with the gentleman geek, seant… we were just discussing this this past weekend. i have many friends in those discriminated against fields. and, i personally am a rec. mgnt./bus admin. major, turned geek. it is where the money is, and even though i'd rather not be one of "those" who lives by "their" standards, money does make the world go 'round. i also have expanded my brain ten-fold, so sell-out is not the term i would use. power to all geeks! – by dhman
it's all how you read the numbers (12:49pm est thu jul 06 2000)
there was another story on this recently, but i can't recall from what source. the ap story is a bit biased – while it's true that the percentage of women is dropping, the story i read stated that that the report indicated that the number of women in it had increased over previous years. apparently, the number of employed women increased at a higher rate than the number entering it positions, causing a percentage decrease even though the actual number is higher. this just goes to prove the old adage, "numbers don't lie… at least, not until you use them creatively." if anyone knows the other story about this report, please post the source, so we have another reference.

a true geek defined… (1:15pm est thu jul 06 2000)
i do not wish to offend females out there, but i have found in my experiences that the real 'geeks' out there are in general males. in the various places i have worked, i have found that the definition of geeks are those people that actually commit themselves to computing, not only on work time, but in their spare time – to get an edge. i have 7 pcs at home and have done various things with them in my geekness to network them, and put them to use. i have yet to come across a female who is as remotely committed to spending a few extra minutes at the end of the workday to complete a technical project or achieve something technical. workday ends at 4:00? they are ready to leave at 3:59. perhaps lack of geekiness is due to a genetic thing (nurturing children, etc), but that is my opinion as to why the it industry is dominated by us males. – by mcvane
check your definition (1:50pm est thu jul 06 2000)
i take exception to your assertion that women are not committed to being geeks, and they don't dedicate themselves to after-hours computer play for the sake of keeping an edge.
there are three women in the it department where i work. all three of them engage in high-level geekiness on the side. we have a network tech who takes additional classes in the evenings, and has set up a windows nt network in her home to keep up with technologies. another network tech also maintains a home network, as well as developing web-based applications, just to keep in practice.
the third woman in our department is an applications developer and is committed to personal as well as non-profit projects in her spare time which include web development and working on new applications.
all three of these women do more geekwork in their spare time than they do during business hours, and certainly more than i do in my spare time.
i know many, many women in the technical world, and i have to say that i don't know a single one who fits your definition of the 9 – 5 geekgirl.

my two-cents is worth more than your two-cents. – by seant
geek definition (8:18am est fri jul 07 2000)
some posts seem to equate "geekiness" with "being a good tech/coder/etc..". i think i am a good tech ( i am a chick, btw), but i have tons of other interests that take my time after work. maintaining a good balance in life is just as important as spending 12-16 hours a day geeking out. a person can be good in their field, interested, on top of the changes in tech that they need to be without spending 6 more hours at home playing around with computers. part of a tech support's job is interacting with their customers, and being focused and content helps me do that. i ask the "geek snobs" out there if maybe they aren't just a touch arrogant and unresponsive to those customers who they feel are newbies. the techs that make it to upper management in the geek world are going to be those people (male or female) that can both keep up with technology but also interact with their employees and clients.
(you coders still have to interact with your group and your boss, so don't think you're off the hook!) – by geekgirl
yipes… (4:54pm est fri jul 07 2000)
it's starting to sound like a game of, "who's got the biggest geek". that seems to be a time honored game males have been playing since the game of who's – who, began. don't kid yourself that there aren't plenty of females that love computers and all their capacaties as much as you guys do. females may be more apprehensive about changing careers midstream, but the passion for technology is there. – by me

Such a polished act,
"who you mean",
your obscenity
and crawling nails,
they scratch the sidewalk,
we lost all hope for You
and walk with dark eyes;
thrown from Your arms.
You held the tickets,
of children whose dreams
and whose tune…
feet with pepsi caps,
the smiles of night.
Willingly plundered
in dark brown or kool-aid lime,
holding the smokes
and shivering puffs,
that pass from lip
to mouth.
We look 6:30 in the morning;
we are your Lounge.
"yeah I know, it's voodoo"
Our paper dryness and
shaking palms,
we high and low,
ritual blows,
who work the Lounge,
who adore your obscenity,
the comedy, the pages of scribble;
our perspectives of absurd value.
We adore you and
that sketch, stubbled erasings
in the Lounge.
"you mean the voodoo lounge?"

The Marvel Universe's 10 WORST Summer Vacation Spots
The Marvel Universe's 10 WORST Summer Vacation Spots1 of 12By Graeme McMillan, Newsarama Contributor
Summer is almost here, and despite what Martha or her Vandellas might want you to believe, the time is more right for taking a break from it all than it is for dancing in the streets (seriously, it's too hot for such physical activity).
But while we in the real world can travel to all manner of enjoyable, beautiful getaway destinations, pity the denizens of the Marvel Universe: While their everyday existence is likely to be interrupted by that week's alien invasion, supervillain attack or natural disaster, it's not as if the rest of the world is that much safer. Consider these following vacation destinations with the relief that comes from knowing that you can only visit from the relative safety of the comic page.
Got a comment? There's lots of conversation on Newsarama's FACEBOOK and TWITTER!
TRANSIA/WUNDAGORE2 of 12Pros: Enjoy the beautiful scenery of Mount Wundagore, pride of the Eastern European country of Transia! Marvel at the wonders of nature (and scientifically enhanced quasi-nature) and learn about the wide variety of animals that you had no idea about.
Cons: Tourists are warned that the mountain may be home to the spirit of the demonic Chthon, as well as home to the genetic engineer the High Evolutionary. Both of those things may increase the likelihood not only of superhuman tussles ruining your break, but also meeting men with cow heads instead of regular heads.
WAKANDA3 of 12Pros: Wakanda! The most scientifically advanced nation in Africa, and home to many long-lived local traditions, giving visitors a unique insight into a culture very different and (in a not-at-all-patronizing-whatsoever-way) more noble than their own!
Cons: Yes, Wakanda may be home to some of the most advanced minds on the planet, but inexplicably much of the local culture seems trapped in a 1960s White Imperialist idea of what an African nation should be like. More worryingly, the country is repeatedly the subject of either forceful regime change or invasion, and in the brief moments when that is not the case, travelers may want to beware of the local religious cults based around Apes, Lions and Crocodiles.
ATTILAN4 of 12Pros: One of the oldest cities in the world, Attilan boasts the remnants of cultures thought lost to human experience, as well as the rare chance to interact with the "Inhumans," a race of beings just like us but for their strange powers and unfortunate fashion sense.
Cons: Sadly, the mobile nature of the city means that tourists are recommended to make their stays as short as possible, as it is possible that you may enter via the Himalayas onto to discover, upon exit, that the city now exists on the moon. Additionally, some of the Inhumans can be somewhat off-putting to those unfamiliar with the fantastic, especially those allergic to giant dogs that can teleport.
K'UN L'UN5 of 12Pros: Once called the "jewel of the orient," the self-proclaimed "mystical city of K'Un L'Un" is a holiday destination unlike any other, with a whole host of activities based around quiet meditation and intense physical activity that is greatly helped if one happens to have a spirit animal or two. Lose weight and gain piece of mind that's a two-for-one deal that's hard to say no to.
Cons: Unless one has a connection to a friend with magical abilities, K'Un L'Un can prove surprisingly difficult to reach for most travelers, considering its tendency to disappear from the world for decades at a time. It is also worth pointing out that the city was founded by, and remains filled with, an inter-dimensional plant race called the H'ylthri that can grow clones of humans with disturbing ease, so if visiting, make sure not to upset your hosts.
GENOSHA6 of 12Pros: If solitude is what you're seeking, then Genosha is the location for you! Imagine an entire island almost entirely devoid of other people with prime hiking real estate for you to investigate and claim for yourself. Doesn't that sound like your own personal paradise?
Cons: It's possible that the island is radioactive. If visiting, remember to bring your anti-radiation kits just in case, and while packing, it's possibly worth considering bringing some kind of weaponry to defend yourself in case marauding bands of mutants declare you a "flatscan" whose kind was responsible for the partial destruction of their entire race.
THE SAVAGE LAND7 of 12Pros: For those hoping to return to nature, there are few places more ideal than the Savage Land, a hidden oasis (literally) right in the heart of Antarctica. Imagine the tropical lure of a Hawaii that hasn't been overrun by television crews looking to pretend that they're in the rain forest or a rain forest without the rain. Could anyone resist?
Cons: There are dinosaurs. And cavemen, kinda. Oh, and every now and again, superheroes show up to fight, and it's possible that someone may try and destroy the entire place during your stay. But other than that, it's great.
MADRIPOOR8 of 12Pros: Admit it: Sometimes, you've found yourself watching Casablanca and thought, "I wish there were still places like that only more dangerous and with far, far more institutionalized corruption than I could even think possible." Guess what? There is and you could visit!
Cons: Apparently, you may have missed the part about the danger and the institutionalized corruption. Worth noting, too, that this is another locale famous for the speedy turn-over in political regimes, almost every single one of which will be revealed to be connected in some way to organized crime. Which is to say, carry your passport with you at all times, but not in any obvious (or easily accessed) location.
MONSTER ISLE9 of 12Pros: Wildlife enthusiasts, rejoice: The rarest of all life on Earth can be found in one place that's as far away as your next private plane ride Monster Isle! If you've ever dreamt of life in a living nature documentary filled with creatures you're unlikely to see in New York City (unless the Mole Man is attacking again), then this is the trip for you.
Cons: The fact that the island's entire population is a monster of some form or another means that concessions, restaurants and other familiar amenities are near-impossible to come by, and also that the only recognizable form of currency is probably human blood.
KRAKOA10 of 12Pros: Some people say "living island" like it's a bad thing, but to them, I like to say "All islands are living, if you really think about all the organisms, microorganisms and probably nano-organisms they contain, so what's your problem, Jack?" Krakoa is just like all of those other islands... except this one has a brain.
Cons: Admittedly, most islands don't have a brain, and those that do probably shouldn't have them as the result of mutations brought on by nuclear tests decades earlier. Oh, is vacationing on a thinking radioactive island that may try to kill you a problem? If so, then this may be one stop you wish to avoid.
LATVERIA11 of 12Pros: Possibly the pride of Europe as long as you forget places like Paris, Rome, Barcelona, Stockholm and those other cultural capitals, Latveria has everything you'd expect from an authentically rustic Eastern European country whose capital has the inviting name of Doomstadt: Men in shorts, women with names like Helga and robot police who will kill you if you say anything against the country's dictator.
Cons: Where to start? There's the dictator thing, the robot police thing, the fact that inhabitants are downtrodden and seemingly stuck in the 19th century or the fact that the main cities in the country (besides Doomstadt) are Doomsburg, Doomsdale, Doomsvale, Doomton and Doomwood. Or what about the fact that its ruler Doctor Victor Von Doom seemingly never spends any time there other than when he's hiding out after getting beaten by the Fantastic Four, Avengers or whoever else is defending America, therefore not even being good at being a dictator? Despite the good if broken hearts of its inhabitants, there's no denying this simple truth: Latveria sucks. You'll have more fun going to work like you do everyday.

These Websites Are Members of the SEO Spam Hall of Shame
Listed below are URLs for websites that have arranged for people to come to this forum and post links to their sites, even though their sites are totally unrelated to Ardour, audio engineering or anything remotely related to what this site is about. Quite a few of them are probably scams as well. This post will be updated and their names will be added. Google is quite good at indexing ardour.org. You spam our site, we add your URL here.
The saddest part is that I suspect that most of these businesses had no plans to do this. They hired some company who said they would do SEO for them. That company hired some $0.05/hr workers and said "you know what to do". I don't really like listing their names here, but companies need to start getting a lot more informed about what "SEO" is, and how Google PageRank works before hiring these scam artists.

First post here. It seems that printing blue is all happy now. A better way to nail these scumbags is to use the tricks that the search engines actively penalise - hidden text, doorway pages, etc., etc.

The hip hop duo from Florida known as Nobodies have released their self-titled full-length record, "Nobodies." The album contains nine original tracks for a total listening time of half an hour. It has been proudly published on the Blackhouse Records independent music label without the direction or support of the corporate music industry. Intelligent, iconoclastic, and aggressively shouting down the ills of modern society, "Nobodies" by Nobodies is a rap record fans of hip hop from every walk can get behind.
The official music video for the record's popular single, "Zero Tolerance/Inaction," is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76laab4VrwE. An official video for its opening track, "Hermes Trismegistus," has also been made available for listening and viewing online.
Asked to cite some main influences, Florida's Nobodies say their music is for "fans of Denzel Curry, Vince Staples, Awful Records, Miami, punk rock, trap, and hip hop." Their sound is a mixture of contemporary dirty south and New York styles, with artistic principles drawn from social activism and subcultures such as the punk movement and late 19th-century occultism. The result is a smart, heavy-hitting collection of songs that recalls acts like Dead Prez and the Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy.
Speaking of the themes of their new record, Nobodies write, "Nobodies are about bringing home the idea that we are all here to serve a greater purpose than to cycle through the mundane day-to-day tasks, and that we should all embrace our greatness. Music that pushes boundaries, in a sonic sense, as well as lyrically, and spreading the message to masses to do the same."
Nobodies are a duo comprised of longtime pals MTFR (Matt the F'n Rapper) and Jah (usually stylized 'JAH'). They have distinguished themselves in rap circles by eschewing the shameless self-aggrandizing and ostentation practiced by many hip hop artists today, choosing instead to "be prolific and release nothing but precedent-setting, groundbreaking new material."
Music videos by Nobodies have been directed by the recent underground favorite, FXRBES.
Blackhouse Records have described Nobodies saying, "This addition to the Blackhouse Records lineup is unlike anything we have ever taken on in 15 years of operation. In this partnership, the future will see not only an upcoming full length by NOBODIES, but also solo releases from MTFR and JAH separately. We couldn't be more elated to have these guys aboard and absolutely cannot wait to present to you what they have coming your way."
"Nobodies" by Nobodies is available online worldwide from Blackhouse Records at over 700 quality digital music stores now. Get in early, rap fans. Very early.

Basil ct linalol (Ocimum basilicum ct. linalool)
$ 2.00
Product details
Common Name: Basil,Sweet
Latin Name: Ocimum basilicum ct. linalool
Plant part: Leaves
Distillation Method: Steam
Shelf Life: About 4-5 years
Country of Origin: Nepal, Unsprayed.
GC/MS Batch:
BLA15 Aug 2015
Aroma: This is a very energetic, yet smooth basil. It has an exotic spicy and herbal aroma that is tampered with sweet grassy tones. It makes for a wonderful middle to top note in blending.
Personal notes: I love this essential oil for blends that are supportive of recovering from colds and coughs. I have also found that only one drop of this particular oil makes for a wonderful basil infused oil when I am out of fresh basil for dipping bread infusions.
Safety Data: The linalool chemotype is generally considered safe on the skin. While this essential oil is considered safe for skin application without dilution, rarely will one need such a high dosage. Dilution is always recommended regardless of purity.
Usage ideas:
Blend and apply to chest area during colds to soothe coughs.
- 5 drops of Basil
- 4 drops of Lavender
- 1 ounce jojoba oil
Emotional/Energetic Qualities: Offers energetic protection, brings clarity to the mind, and can be emotionally uplifting.
Recommended applications: Diffuse, topical application using safe dilution ratios, steam inhalation.
Other considerations:
- Tisserand recommends a maximum dermal use of 1.5% for Basil ct linalool based on a high eugenol content. The eugenol percentage of this specific batch is only 2.99%. While higher amounts can be used, they should be done so with caution.
- Methyl chavicol content is 0.35%.
- Do not place on broken skin.
California Prop 65 Statement: This product is not nor does it contain any constituents on the CA Prop 65 list of toxic chemicals. This product conforms to the reporting requirements of California Proposition 65 (Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986).

I like to read, but I usually don't spend much time on fiction. Still, every now and then I'll read some sci-fi.
A few years ago there was quite a bit of buzz again about The Singularity. I wanted to learn more about this topic. A little research quickly turned up that Vernor Vinge is known to be an originator of this concept. He is a math/CS professor from UCSD that writes great science fiction. After watching a brief interview with him, I was intrigued and decided to read one of his books. I thought it would be an entertaining way to learn more about the Singularity. The book I read was called A Fire Upon the Deep. I really liked it, but didn't get a chance to read any more sci-fi for quite a while.
A few weeks ago, my daughter decided to go to a library book sale. This is not a common thing for me or her. However, she invited me to go, so I decided to take her up on it. While I was there with her, I found a few interesting tech books. However, just before I left, I felt the pull to check out the sci-fi section. It was a pretty large section, but the memory of Vinge popped in my head. I scanned towards 'V' and found a book by him called Rainbows End. Without thinking too hard, I bought it. I really enjoyed reading it the days following. IMHO, I found it to be thought provoking and entertaining. Recommended.
Now I'm wondering why I haven't been reading good sci-fi books more often. Especially considering the lack of good sci-fi movies. As I read more books, I'll post about them on the site.

YouTube has unveiled its most watched music videos of 2014, and Katy Perry and her Dark Horse have shot straight to the top of the list with a ridic 715 MILLION views. Unreal.
Yep, not only is she performing during this year's Super Bowl halftime show, but Katy has topped the list for having the most entertaining music video with her Egyptian-themed shenanigans. The video features Perry as an ancient Egyptian queen, and it's actually brilliant.
1. Katy Perry - "Dark Horse"
2. Enrique Iglesias - "Bailando" (Spanish)
3. Shakira - "Can't Remember To Forget You" featuring Rihanna
4. Shakira - "La La La" (Brazil 2014)
5. Jason Derulo - "Wiggle" featuring Snoop Dogg
6. Iggy Azalea - "Fancy" featuring Charli XCX
8. Meghan Trainor - "All About That Bass"

The 2015 UCLA Festival of Preservation
2015 UCLA Festival of Preservation is this Thursday evening, March 5th.
The Festival of Preservation is a biennial month-long series celebrating the work of the UCLA Film and Television Archive. The screenings take place at UCLA's Billy Wilder Theater at the Hammer Museum in Westwood.
I thoroughly enjoyed the 2011 and 2013 festivals. In 2011 I saw two films, and in 2013 I attended four different screenings, seeing a total of seven films. All of the festival screenings have been terrific experiences, and I particularly appreciate that the festival has introduced me to a couple of favorite films, the Dick Powell film noir CRY DANGER (1951) and Joan Leslie's noir fantasy REPEAT PERFORMANCE (1947).
The festival will kick off Thursday with a screening of Anthony Mann's MEN IN WAR (1957), starring Robert Ryan and Aldo Ray. Cast member L.Q.Jones will appear that evening to discuss the film with Archive director Jan-Christopher Horak.
This year I hope to again attend several screenings, starting with the film noir double bill of TOO LATE FOR TEARS (1949) and THE GUILTY (1947) this Saturday, March 7th. I saw TOO LATE FOR TEARS at last year's Noir City Festival, and it was so much fun I'd enjoy seeing it again. The late Lizabeth Scott stars along with Dan Duryea, Arthur Kennedy, and Don DeFore. I've never seen THE GUILTY, which stars Bonita Granville, Don Castle, and Regis Toomey. The Film Noir Foundation's Alan Rode will be on hand Saturday night to introduce the movies.
I also hope to attend a pre-Code double bill on Sunday afternoon and a great-looking double bill of Bing Crosby in THE BIG BROADCAST (1932) and Harold Lloyd in THE MILKY WAY (1936) later in the month.
introduce HER SISTER'S SECRET (1946), which I thoroughly enjoyed at last year's TCM Classic Film Festival. The TCM Fest movies sometimes blur a bit in memory due to seeing so many in such a short time frame, so I would love the chance to take a second look at this very good film, which stars Margaret Lindsay and Nancy Coleman. There's an excellent review of this movie by Moira Finnie at Silver Screen Oasis.
Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times has many more details on what promises to be an exciting festival.
schedule for a complete list of titles and times.
There's much more great stuff ahead for classic film fans in Southern California. I will again be credentialed media at this year's TCM Classic Film Festival, which takes place from March 26th through 29th, and I'll be providing complete coverage here at Laura's Miscellaneous Musings.
The weekend after the TCM Fest it's time for the 17th Annual Noir City Hollywood Festival, which takes place at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood the first three weeks of April. Meanwhile in early April UCLA will kick off what's sure to be a spectacular three-month-long William Wellman Festival!
A look back: The 2013 UCLA Festival of Preservation and The 2011 UCLA Festival of Preservation.
Update: Here are reviews of THE GUILTY (1947), BACHELOR'S AFFAIRS (1932), SOCIETY GIRL (1932), THE BIG BROADCAST (1932), and THE MILKY WAY (1936), plus an account of a very special screening of HER SISTER'S SECRET (1946).

The THOUGHT (Individuals with Disabilities Schooling Act) has defined the sphere of Special Education as "Specially designed instruction, for gratis to parents, to fulfill the distinctive wants of a kid with a disability." Dad and mom and their particular needs kids are supplied with extra providers, custom-made environments, applications, specialized placements, and help. Students with disabilities might attend courses with common schooling college students, often known as inclusive lecture rooms. They're answerable for helping infants and toddlers beneath the age of 5 construct learning expertise to organize them for college. Job alternatives additionally could also be higher in sure specialties, such experience with early childhood intervention and expertise in working with students who've a number of disabilities, extreme disabilities, or autism spectrum disorders.
Particular schooling academics must be affected person with every student, as some may have the instruction given aloud, at a slower pace, or in writing. Teachers' schedules will fluctuate in keeping with their faculty's schedules, however some also use those months to arrange lessons for the approaching college yr or to teach summer time courses if they would like supplemental earnings.
IEPs define targets and services for each pupil, such as periods with the school psychologists, counselors, and particular schooling teachers. The power to find new methods to clarify and show subject material is commonly the only handiest characteristic a particular ed trainer can possess.
Because serving to college students with disabilities can be quite tense—emotionally demanding and physically draining—many schools have difficulties recruiting and retaining particular training academics. In addition, kids with disabilities are being recognized earlier and enrolled into special education programs, increasing the need for particular training academics in preschool and kindergarten grades.
Trainer Certification Levels receives a marketing price from companies working with faculties and universities which are presented with our "Discover Faculties" buttons. They work with general education teachers to current info in a fashion that students with disabilities can extra simply understand.

TYRO3 plays a critical role in maintaining normal podocyte function and may be a potential new drug target to treat glomerular diseases
data do not support a particular role for TAM receptors or for activated CD11b in the association of platelet-derived EVs with monocytes and granulocytes in the circulation.
Results found the protein levels of Syk and inflammatory factors expression in the NSTE-ACS and STEMI groups were higher than those in the SAP and control groups. The protein levels of Syk and inflammatory factors expression in the SAP group were higher than those in the control group.
Axl and Tyro3, but not Mertk, have an important role in platelet activation and thrombus formation
A meta-analysis of 3 Japanese populations (a total of 2403 Japanese adults) revealed that TYRO3 rs2297377 was associated with atopy and allergic rhinitis (OR = 1.29 and 1.31; P = 0.00041 and 0.0010, respectively).
Serum sTyro3 levels were elevated in rheumatoid arthritis patients and correlated positively with disease activity and bone destruction, which may serve as an important participant in rheumatoid arthritis pathogenesis.
TYRO3 is upregulated in colorectal cancer cells and is a direct target gene of miR-7.
Data suggest that TYRO3-mediated phosphorylation of ACTN4 is involved in invasiveness of melanoma cells; TYRO3-mediated phosphorylation of ACTN4 requires FAK activation at tyrosine 397. (TYRO3 = TYRO3 protein tyrosine kinase; ACTN4 = actinin alpha 4; FAK = focal adhesion kinase isoform FAK1)
Phosphatidylserine mediated hyperactivation of TYRO3.TYRO3 promotes epithelial cell efferocytosis in a tyrosine kinase-dependent manner.TYRO3 role in AKT-dependent drug resistance.
Taken together, our data indicate that elevated plasma Gas6 levels is associated with the severity of disease during HTNV infection in humans, suggesting that Gas6 may play an important role by binding with Tyro3 on monocytes.
Study identified the Gas6/TAM receptor pathway with Tyro3 and Mer as novel targets in colorectal cancer.
These results show that TYRO3, AXL and GAS6 are expressed at higher levels in LMS and expression of its ligands correlates to a worse PFS in LMS patients.
Patients with macroalbuminuria diabetes had higher circulating levels of sMer and more urinary soluble Tyro3 and sMer than normoalbuminuric diabetics. Increased clearance of sTyro3 and sMer was associated with loss of tubular Tyro3 and Mer expression in diabetic nephropathy tissue. During in vitro diabetes, human kidney cells had down-regulation of Tyro3 and Mer mRNA and increased shedding of sTyro3 and sMer.
TYRO3 is overexpressed in the early stage of colon cancer development and aberrant expression of TYRO3 promotes tumorigenesis and induces EMT through the regulation of SNAI1.
In this paper, we review the biology of the Gas6/Tyro3, Axl, and MerTK(collectively named TAM system)and the current evidence supporting its potential role in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis .
these data suggest that Tyro3 contributes significantly to tumor growth, aggressiveness and liver dysfunction
Tyro3 gene dosage modulates Mertk-associated retinal degeneration, provide strong evidence for a direct role for TYRO3 in RPE phagocytosis, and suggest that an eQTL can modify a recessive Inherited photoreceptor degenerations.
The mRNA expression levels of Tyro-3, Axl were decreased in pSS patients. When considering the plasma level, increased levels of soluble Mer was observed with statistically significant difference.
genetic ablation of a receptor tyrosine kinase encoded byTyro3in mice or the functional neutralization of its ortholog in human dendritic cells resulted in enhanced type 2 immunity.
the results of the present study demonstrated that the acquired taxol resistance of ovarian cancer cells was associated with ROS-dependent upregulation in the expression of Tyro3 RTK and the subsequent activation of Akt.
Tyro3/Axl/Mertk-deficient mice develop bone marrow edema which is an early pathological marker in rheumatoid arthritis.
Loss of the Tyro3 receptor correlates with significantly thinner myelin sheaths in both unchallenged mice and during remyelination, particularly in larger caliber axons. Primary effect of Tyro3 is upon the radial expansion of myelin. The loss of Tyro3 leads to a reduction in the number of myelin lamellae on axons.
Disinhibiation of Gas6 binding to Tyro3 due to PGRN reduction results in activation of PKCalpha via PLCgamma, inducing tau phosphorylation at Ser203, mislocalization of tau to dendritic spines, and spine loss.
shows that Tyro3 has prosurvival roles in the appetite regulatory circuitry and could also provide useful insights towards the development of interventions targeting detrimental weight loss
The findings of this study indicated the critical importance of Tyro3 in potentiating central nervous system myelination
This study mapped the autophosphorylation sites of murine Tyro3 to tyrosine 723 and 756, with K540 being required for its kinase activity.
Axl, Mertk and Tyro3 receptors are not required for Zika virus entry and infection.
These results suggest that TAM receptors support NSCs survival, proliferation and differentiation by regulating expression of neurotrophins, especially the nerve growth factor.
Optimal TAM signaling requires coincident TAM ligand engagement of both its receptor and the phospholipid phosphatidylserine regulating TAM receptor tyrosine kinases Tyro3, Axl, and Mer and their ligands Gas6 and Protein S.
These findings indicate that Tyro3 is a critical signal for synovial hyperplasia, osteoclast differentiation and bone erosion during arthritis.
Axl and Mer (TAM) receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) developed persistent inflammatory liver damage resembling AIH. Tyro3(-/-)Axl(-/-)Mer(-/-) triple mutant (TAM(-/-)) mice exhibited chronic hepatitis
Adult brain neurogenesis is reduced in the hippocampus of the Tyro3-/-Axl-/-Mertk-/- triple-knockout but not in single Tyro3-/- knockouts.
Chronic systemic inflammation and autoimmune disorders in the Tyro3, Axl and Mertk knockout mice cause neuronal damage and death.
Receptor tyrosine kinase Tyro3 is involved in amyloidogenic Amyloid beta-Protein Precursor processing and beta-amyloid deposition in Alzheimer's disease models.
Novel insight into the mechanism of TAM RTKs (Tyro3, Axl, Mer receptor tyrosine kinases)in regulating male fertility.
Gas6 and Tyro3, Axl and Mer (TAM) receptors have roles in human and murine platelet activation and thrombus stabilization
Protein S controls hypoxic/ischemic blood-brain barrier disruption through the TAM receptor Tyro3 and sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor1.
The gene is part of a 3-member transmembrane receptor kinase receptor family with a processed pseudogene distal on chromosome 15. The encoded protein is activated by the products of the growth arrest-specific gene 6 and protein S genes and is involved in controlling cell survival and proliferation, spermatogenesis, immunoregulation and phagocytosis. The encoded protein has also been identified as a cell entry factor for Ebola and Marburg viruses.

The COSCO became the first vessel ever to pass through the expanded Panama Canal on Sunday, completing the 80-kilometer (49 mile) journey.
CCTV America's Roee Ruttenberg reported.
Chinese mega-ship becomes first to traverse upgraded Panama canalThe COSCO becoming the first vessel ever to pass through the expanded Panama Canal on Sunday, completed the 80-kilometer journey.
Nearly 300-meters (984 foot) in length, the Chinese ship arrived at the new Cocoli locks, carrying nearly 10,000 containers an impossible feat in the older, smaller passageway.
"To us, Panamanians, the Canal is way more than just an engineering and technology masterpiece. It symbolizes what Panama's isthmus represents for the international community: a meeting point between East and West, between South and North," Juan Carlos Varela, President of Panama said.
Planning for this trip started more than a decade ago, after Panama gained full control of the canal from the U.S., which built the original locks and ran them for 85 years.
The $5 billion project was Panamanian led, and included Spanish and Italian consortiums.
The new locks are now closed, but the expanded canal is now open for business. The largest ships can expect to pay up to one million dollars to pass. As for the maiden vessel we just saw, it's expected to reach the port of Shanghai in August.
Panama's economy flourishes while neighbors lag behind
It's been 25 years since Panama regained access to funding from the IMF, after defaulting on loans. Now, the international lender said Panama has one of the region's most flourishing economies.
CCTV America's Roee Ruttenberg reports.
Panama\'s economy flourishes while neighbors lag behindThe COSCO became the first vessel ever to pass through the expanded Panama Canal on Sunday, completing the 80-kilometer (49 mile) journey.
Panama is one of Latin America's smallest countries. But it's 4 million people continue to punch well above their weight.
It's hard to ignore the American influence : the country still uses the U.S. dollar, while nearly 40 percent of Panama's GDP comes from activity related to the American-built Panama Canal.
"That area of the country was forbidden for Panamanians. And that really was a barrier for Panama to exploit our geographical position and advantage. Therefore Panama had to go through a process of self-discovery – thinking outside the box," Felipe Chapman, Economist of INDESA said.
"750 million people for Latin America. So what it means is that the compound growth of population in the region is close to 20%," Oscar Bazan, Panama Canal Authority said. "So consumption will be very steady, and will be reflecting a marginal growth. Just of consumption. It doesn't have anything to do with how the trade behaves."
Oscar Bazan said the canal would need to meet that demand.
For all its success, Panama is still a country of contrasts. It has more than 6 percent annual growth, while there were visibly lingering effects of poverty
The government has made combating poverty a national priority, and it intends to use its new wealth to do so.
Dulcidio De La Guardia on Panama's economy
Over the years, Panama's economy has largely benefited from billions of dollars in infrastructure spending.
CCTV America's Roee Ruttenberg interviewed the country's Economy and Finance Minister, Dulcidio De La Guardia.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal announced Tuesday he is ending his presidential bid, after failing to gain traction in the large GOP primary field.
"This is not my time, so I am suspending my campaign for President," Jindal said in a statement.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal announced Tuesday he is ending his presidential bid, after failing to gain traction in the large GOP primary field.
"This is not my time, so I am suspending my campaign for President," Jindal said in a statement.
But ahead of the debate, the latest The Economist/YouGov poll shows the percentage of Republicans who think Bush could win the general election falling.
The poll, released Tuesday, shows only 44 percent of Republicans think Bush could win the general election, regardless of who emerges as the Democratic nominee. That's down from 53 percent from just two weeks ago.
If Vitter is elected Louisiana's next governor, political dominoes there could quickly start to fall. (Photo By Bill Clark/CQ Roll Call)
For a number of ambitious Republicans in Louisiana, a whole lot hinges on the state's gubernatorial election later this year — and Sen. David Vitter.
Vitter is one of four candidates facing off in the Pelican State's "jungle primary" in October. He will be up against two other Republicans and one Democrat in a race that, unless a single candidate gets half the vote, would advance the two top candidates to a runoff in late November. If he ultimately emerges as the victor — and that's still an "if"— a brand new set of ifs would arise and leave politicians at several levels in Louisiana stuck watching and waiting.
Jindal, in Washington for a forum on school choice, is mulling an education-focused presidential run. (Bill Clark/CQ Roll Call)
Potential presidential contender Gov. Bobby Jindal was in Washington again Monday, burnishing his national education policy credentials at a Heritage Foundation forum on school choice.
The Louisiana Republican, who was a proponent of Common Core before very publicly reversing his thoughts on the schooling standards, has long focused on education policy as a way to distinguish himself from the bumper crop of would-be 2016 GOP presidential candidates.
Roberts, left, campaigned with Cruz, right. (Tom Williams/CQ Roll Call File Photo)
When the myriad Republican presidential contenders start campaigning for 2016, their journeys might not look much different from this cycle.
From Iowa to New Hampshire, every Republican who is even remotely considering a 2016 bid hit the trail this year to help Senate contenders. What's more, several competitive Senate races are this year conveniently in states that play host to early nominating contests in 2016.

But with Sen. Charles E. Grassley, it takes 45.

DES MOINES, Iowa – Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal thinks Rep. Vance McAllister should step down, calling the Louisiana Republican's continued tenure an "embarrassment" thanks to a scandal that left him with the nickname the "Kissing Congressman."
"Look, he originally made the right decision when he decided not to run for reelection," Jindal told CQ Roll Call during a visit to the Iowa State Fair on Saturday. "I said he should have stepped down at the time. I think he's making a mistake, I think he should, I think he should've stuck to his original decision and not go back inside to try to run again. I think it'd be better for him, he said he wanted some time for privacy and to spend that time with his family, I think that'd be a good thing for him to do."
Rand will return to CPAC to speak on Friday. (Chris Maddaloni/CQ Roll Call File Photo)
Five Republicans who could share a presidential primary debate stage next year will all deliver speeches by lunchtime at today's start of the Conservative Political Action Conference.
Potential 2016 White House contenders, elected officials and conservative darlings are lining up over the next few days to address thousands of conservative activists descending on the nation's capital for the annual retreat.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., won the Conservative Political Action Conference straw poll on Saturday, edging out fellow Sen. Marco Rubio. He follows in the footsteps of his father, former Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, who was a perennial CPAC straw poll winner.
Paul took 25 percent with Rubio garnering 23 percent at the annual event that took place at National Harbor, Md., this year. This comes about a week after Paul's Senate floor filibuster that created the Twitter hashtag "StandWithRand." The motto translated at CPAC - some of the biggest souvenir hits were Mad Men logo "Stand With Rand" stickers and t-shirts that featured Paul's silhouette.
