The first to kick off the season, the Cannes Yachting Festival Sept 6-11 in France welcomed the whole fleet from the MCY family. During the prime boating event, the MCY 80 won the Best Layout category in the 80ft – 120ft segment at the World Yacht Trophies.
Cannes opens the way to the 53rd edition of Genoa International Boat Show Sept 20-25 in Italy. On display from MCY was again the whole series. In the following months, two flagship boats MCY 105 and MCY 86 entered the Monaco Yacht show Sept 28-Oct 1 to showcase alongside the one-off superyachts in the glamorous setting of Monaco.
In early November, Monte Carlo Yachts made its presence at the 57th edition of Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show Nov 3-7. The MCY 105 was celebrated by the American public during its official American premiere in the company of MCY 76, MCY 70 and MCY 65. The MCY 105 was also awarded with the Robb Report Best Of The Best in the Wings & Water Category (yachts from 100 to 195 feet), a great success for the company as this award-winning 32-metre yacht entering the American market.

Most of us are keen to help the underprivileged, the people in need. Several causes attract charity; possibly the most fundamental, and the best "return on investment" cause is that of education, because of the inevitable ripple effect: you educate one person, and the lives of many others around that person as well the lives of all subsequent generations are necessarily improved. We offer you a platform where you get the opportunity to adopt a classroom or E even a school, and get involved directly in children's education. You can fund the initial nominal equipment for the school to deploy our solution, work with school authorities
to eliminate initial difficulties such as lack of classrooms, study table, setting chairs, chalks, white boards, schools bags, shoes, or of electricity, and get the education program started. You could also delegate the sponsor's role to a reliable individual who would initiate and shoulder the responsibility on your behalf.Sponsor This Campaign
Teach for Afghanistan relies heavily on the generosity of people like you to help provide a low cost education for children who live in abject poverty in Afghanistan, many families we serve struggle to feed their children and are not in a position to pay the fees required to attend public schools. Therefore, our primary vehicle for providing a low cost education is the teacher sponsorship program.
We believe sponsoring a teacher is the most important and effective way of keeping poverty stricken children in school for two reasons. First, it enables parents who do not have the means to obtain an education for their children to do so. Secondly, instead of trying to find individual sponsors for 1000 children, all we need to do is to fund the salaries of 10 teachers. These teachers will in turn address the educational, mental, physical and spiritual needs of the children. It might be encouraging for you to know that the parents of these children are not left out in the development process of their own children. They just need a hand up and not a hand out from you. The parents have the responsibility for the provision of uniforms, shoes, books and other school supplies. All we are kindly asking of you is to help take care of the financial challenge they are unable to meet at this present moment.
Impact of Your Sponsorship
When you sponsor a teacher today, you will be making a significant difference in the lives of people whom you may never meet. We see this as a true testimony of faith as you are reaching out to your global neighbors to reflect the light of humanity by showing love and support for Teachers in Afghanistan. Through your generosity, we are improving the lives of over 1,000 students, 10 teachers and staff members in our various schools across the country.
The Ministry of Education Department of Human Resources published a teacher pay scale based on teaching qualifications for public schools in Afghanistan.Sponsor This Campaign

Offroading Like A Master on National 4×4 Day
Spring is upon us, which can only mean a few things! One of which is warmer weather and another is the lack of snow. All of this is extremely favourable to offroading and putting it into 4×4! So get up from your desk, hop in your Jeep, and hit the trails! In order to help you out today, we have compiled some useful tips and tricks to keep you moving on the trail!
A lot of the advice we have received over the years is to simply "trust your gut". Often, if you think an obstacle is too extreme, and you get that feeling that you should bypass it, just bypass it. One big reason to trust your gut is simple, you have to drive the vehicle out of the woods, can't do that when it's on its roof!
Buddy System
Another big tip I have always heard is to bring a buddy. Going off into the woods alone is never a good idea, especially if you are going to be testing the limits of your vehicle. The best practice is to go with at least one friend, bring a tow rope or winch, and let someone who isn't with you your plans for the day. Be sure to give a return time and location so they can start looking if you get stuck.
Your Equipment
The next tip is to know your equipment. This may sound obvious, but knowing the limits and abilities of your vehicle can help prevent going into an obstacle wrong and getting stuck or damaging your vehicle.
The whole point of offroading is to have fun, so go out and have some fun! Be sure to use your head, bring the right equipment, and stay on the trail! Happy National 4×4 Day and follow us on Instagram and Facebook to share your photos!

"The spread of the web invites us to look at the future from a different vantage point, to see that what we share is at least as important as what we own; what we hold in common is as important as what we keep for ourselves; what we choose to give away may matter more than what we charge for. In the economy of things you are identified by what you own: your land, house, car. In the economy of ideas that the web is creating, you are what you share: who you are linked to, who you network with and which ideas, pictures, videos, links, comments you share. The biggest change the web will have on us is to allow us to share with one another in new ways and particularly to share ideas. That matters because the more ideas are shared the more they breed, mutate and multiply, and that process is the ultimate source of our creativity, innovation and well being." reads the first chapter of "We think" by Charlie Leadbeater.
As the ICT-KM program continues to develop I cannot help thinking of how this philosophy, this new thinking resonates with the principles of our program: Collaborate, Create, Communicate.
We believe that sharing is a potent platform for innovation and creativity. Reading the book you will see how the 600,000 players in the computer game "I Love Bees" showed that a mass of independent people, with different information, skills and outlooks, working together in the right way, can discover, analyse, coordinate, create and innovate together at scale without much by way of a traditional organisation. Imagine this power applied to agriculture research.
But sharing also brings dilemmas: ownership, rights, privacy, resistance to change…
Apply this to our work and I believe that managing the balance between the rising surge of mass collaboration and the attempts to retain control will be one of the defining areas of work of the ICT-KM program in the CGIAR.
Thanks to Peter Ballantyne for pointing this book to us!

It's the time of the year to gather all of my best work to show to the world. As a part of the university project we were asked to make both digital and physical portfolio. I am glad that it is a project so as we get more time for it and more focus than last year students who had to prepare all this along with other projects. I have already crated a draft for when we were looking for work placement. Here it is in my blog:Portfolio draft. I have made few changes since but nothing major.
We have also been given an opportunity to have one on one 20 minutes session with Fig Taylor who has visited us last year. A persuasive portfolio- Fig Taylor.
This time it was so much better for us as she could advise us individually. She works with illustrators and graphic designers so she said she cant advise me much on animation industry but what was useful she said to also brand myself as 3D illustrator to open more doors. I have suggested that apart from animating the puppets that I make I like to make sure I photograph it to either use as an introduction to the character or a promo poster for the animation etc.
I was also happy as I got good feedback on my portfolio. She said that the volume of work I have and the consistency of it is very good and the way I put it all together. She advised short title and one sentence descriptions for the project is enough. It obviously varies on what jobs I apply for but it is enough to keep the interest of the viewer going and not to overwhelm. What I am going to do is stick with the approach and be selective with the work that I do. I will also use the same approach for my website which I am constructing on Squarespace.
Rather than overload of stills from the animation I will include 4: 1 big tointroduce main character, 3 smaller ones and there is still space to put quick description.
I will also include short animations/GIFS that I make using the clay elements that I make for the animations. I like to do that in my spare time so even though those elements don't play huge role in the animations I give it new life.
I will also use two pages for set design and model making. This is an example of what I could include however will still go through my work to select best ones. I may also photograph the building model with my hands there so as it can reflect on the scale.
Page each will be given to my two other animations. I know those are very amateur as one is from year 1 and the other year 2 but I want to show different approaches I have used and it also shows my problem solving skills.
I have been thinking of my logo and name and I have made clay typography. I also liked making 3D type.
Using the clay typography and the character I made below I want to record a quick introduction to "Aga Animates".
I must say that last time we had a session about portfolios the work I had was pretty much all I did for university and because project varied from one another my work was pretty much like a miss match. We had only one project where moving image could be an outcome. I understand as the course is illustration not animation.
I would like my portfolio to reflect the work I have done so far and also show clearly what I am interested and skilled in yet I wouldn't want that to limit me as I want to discover more of what I can do. 80% of work that is in my portfolio I have produced within a year as first year of the study was pretty much experimental for me and half way then the second I had a chance to do more of moving image. That assures me that with experience I can thrive even more. It may sound big headed but I am talking about my personal progress not comparing myself with anyone else. I compete with my last project in order to improve my skills.
My physical portfolio updates will come soon. I will explain how I am planning to present my animation in physical form.

|"Dr. Zadeh is wonderful! He has been my dentist for over 7 years now. I have had root canals, crowns, fillings and extractions done at their office, and I have had no complaints whatsoever. Most recently, I had my implant placed by Dr. Zadeh, something I had always been hesitant to do, but, I knew I needed to. Dr. Zadeh and his staff were considerate of my hesitation, and made me feel comfortable throughout the procedure, which went very smoothly. And in less time than I had expected! Great job, guys, and thank you for taking such good care of me!"

I went to two different oral surgeons before visiting Dr. Zadeh. He performed a four hour surgery to do bone grafting in order to prepare me for my implant. He was amazingly thorough in his operation and in the process, removed a cyst that had bothered me for quite some time. I am very pleased with the result and would highly recommend Dr. Zadeh to anyone who needs a dental implant. He is extremely knowledgable in this field and uses the latest techniques to perform the surgery. Absolutely perfect, like a Swiss watch!!!

Find a mediatorEnter your postal code to find a mediator near you
Founded in 1985 by Legal and Social Science professionals, the Association de médiation familiale du Québec is the first and most important coalition of family mediations in Québec.
By providing structure to the profession, ensuring training for family mediators and adopting a Standards of practice in family mediation, the Association has been playing a major role in the development of family mediation, making it an alternative to legal recourse.
Throughout the years, the Association has been actively participating as a consultant in the elaboration of many government policies regarding family mediation, including the legislation that established the accreditation structure for family mediators, the model for determining child support payments, legislation that facilitates the collecting of child support as well as the Code of Civil Procedure regulation responsible for establishing prehearing mediation in family law cases. In 1997, the Association also submitted a brief to the Minister of Justice as part of the revision of regulations concerning family mediation. In 2003, it produced a video for the general public, which is still current, titled An other way to win, family mediation.
Because of its expertise and historical role, the Association de médiation familiale du Québec collaborates with the COAMF (the Committee of Accrediting Organizations in Family Mediation at the provincial level ever since it was created. At the national level, it has a seat on the board of directors of its Canadian counterpart, Family Mediation Canada. On the international level, numerous members represent the Association by participating in conferences and by conducting training, particularly in Europe where Québec's expertise in the field is widely recognized.
The Association regroups more than 375 attorneys, guidance counsellors, notaries, psychologists, social workers and psychoeducators who have received specialized training in family mediation to complement their initial training. They work in many languages in the various judicial districts in Québec.

Most Valuable Player
Casino players are having arguments. Who is the most valuable player inside the casino? Is it the blackjack player, who bets $25 a hand or the slot player who inserts only $3 on the slot machine?
So far, slot players are far more valuable than any other casino player. And here's why.
A blackjack player can risk $1500 to $2000 in every hour he spends at the blackjack table. The blackjack player will meet 60 to 80 decisions per hour. A majority of blackjack casino players don't know strategies about the game. Basically, the casino already has the edge of winning against the player. The house advantage against the blackjack player is about 1 to 2 percent.
The blackjack player losing to the casino's edge will make the player lose about $7.50 to $10 an hour. A regular blackjack player can spent about four hours at the blackjack table. That can total to $30 to $40 each day.
Blackjack players seem to be losing huge amounts of money. But take a closer look at the slot player within the same period of time the blackjack player is spending on the table.
Every spin the slot player is inserting $3 with an average pace of approximately 10 to 12 spins every minute. The casino's advantage against the slot player is about 5 to 8 percent. In simpler words, the slot player can lose about $90 to $108 in an hour playing the slots. In about four hours that the slot player is spending on the slot, just like the blackjack player is spending on the table for about four hours. The slot player can lose about $360 to $432. Now that is a huge amount of money.
That's not all the bad news. If the player chooses to play on the slot that is a progressive type, and he keeps on playing on the machine he can lose an astounding $1296 in one day.
All in all, slot players are more valuable than the $100 player of blackjack or the player of baccarat with $150 or the craps player with $200.
Here's the catch, people tend to play the slots more than any other table games, thinking that they could bet less on the slot than in any other casino games. $3 bet is far lesser than $25 or $100 bet. If they thought of betting less, they might lose less. But actually that's not the case.
I am not telling slot player to stop playing slots. This is to show that slot players are the most valuable player over other casino players. Casinos are actually earning more from slot than blackjack or roulette and they like it that way. Besides, you don't have to pay a slot machine a salary too!

Barcelona breakaway? Madrid coach Zidane can't imagine La Liga without Catalans
Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane says he cannot imagine seeing Barcelona leave La Liga if Catalonia becomes independent.
The Catalan parliament plans to hold a referendum on October 1 on whether the region should separate from Spain, although a national court has this week blocked those plans.
It has been speculated that Barca and Espanyol, who meet in a derby match on Saturday, could have the chance to play in France's Ligue 1 if the independence campaign is successful.
But Zidane feels any exit from La Liga would be damaging to the competition, telling a news conference: "I can't see a Spanish league without Barcelona. It's all I can say as a fan of football, of this sport.
"I'm not going to get into it because there are people who want it and people who don't. I simply can't see a Spanish league without them."
Zidane went on to defend comments made by Madrid president Florentino Perez with regard to referees in Spain's top flight.
Perez stated his belief that officials are not operating to the required standard in La Liga and Zidane feels his opinion is justified.
"All Florentino said is that we all have to improve, the referees as well," he said. "The president has the right to say what he thinks and I agree with him, that we all have to improve."

The organisers are those of NaNoWriMo (national novel writing month) and camp wrimo has been happening for many years. This is going to be my first year attempting it, though I am not going in officially. I'm not even sure my account is still alive and accessible.
There is a novel I have been slowly adding to, pretty much a chapter a month. The going is painfully slow. But, fun. I like the characters. I'm happy that my laziness has meant I've taken time to flesh out characters. And it changed from my original plan of writing smut with the intent of getting it published and making some money (cue accented stretched out word) to something I'm more comfortable with; awkward romance.
This is what I plan to finish writing.
30 days.
50,000 words (or at least the rest of it, since I think I'm about 7,000 words in).
1,557 words per day minimum.
Planning on using the nanowrimo format to get me through this.
If I do choose to send this to a publisher, that means I am giving up the sole rights of my story and will receive an agree upon percentage of the profits. But then I should be able to get my book to a wider audience and maybe make a living from it (not that I am ungrateful to all of you who read and support my work, it's just a thing I'm thinking about). And I might feel a little more legitimate as an author.
However, self-publishing is... well, what I know and means that everything is mine still and I can share what I want with the world.
I mention this, as publishers make it clear in their rules and regulations that no portion of the manuscript is to be published to the public, not if you want it to be considered for publication with them. (exhale)
Okay. Focusing on the writing and making the plot a solid thing before the start of camp (since that's where I faulted for nanowrimo last year) and then getting the words done.
Then I'll worry about a publisher or self-publishing.
Who knows what will happen in the future.

The best way to do this is just check the option in the security assist wizard. I've attached a screen grab of the page where the option appears.
The two checkboxes are for "remember me" and "auto login"... remember me just remembers the username and you still have to type in the password. "Auto Login" will actually bypass the login screen and the person stays logged in.
You can click the lightning bolt to use custom triggers. Just choose the associated checkbox field.
I'd strongly suggest using the wizard to do this for you on another page, and then you can reverse engineer it from there. You could even copy and paste things like the checkboxes and store session server behavior code.

We spotted this sign, walking through Balaam's Wood Local Nature Reserve on the way to Frankley Carnival back in August.
This should read Balaam's Wood, not Ballam's! Penny Moore from the Friends of Balaam's Wood, a voluntary organisation that helps take care of the nature reserve, told us it had always been spelled wrongly and they had asked for it to be replaced before. She said: "There was a second one spelt wrongly when we asked it to be replaced they put one up saying Rubery Lane! So best not to ask again."
Today, Rubery resident Donato Esposito drew our attention to this plaque at Beacon Hill – I must admit it took me several minutes to spot the error! We're sure the people of 'Birmngham' are very pleased!
Do you have any photos of misspelled or funny signs from around the B31/45/38 area? Send them in to email@example.com and we'll share them here!
Keep an eye out! :)

The sinking exercise (SINKEX) provided participating units the opportunity to gain proficiency and confidence in their weapons and systems through realistic training that could not be duplicated in simulators. "This SINKEX was invaluable for exercising our interoperability as a combined maritime force, and also demonstrating and testing the tremendous warfighting skills…Read More

HMAS Newcastle Completes Last RAN FFG Middle East Deployment
HMAS Newcastle returned to her home port of Fleet Base East, Garden Island, Sydney, today following a six month deployment to the Middle East region. Minister for Defence, Senator the Hon Marise Payne, welcomed 230 members of the ship's company home from the deployment, which included counter-terrorism and counter-piracy patrols as part of the Combined Maritime Forces and a two-week attachment with the US Navy's Fifth Fleet in the Arabian Gulf.Read More
Making more of the maritime
The Royal Australian Navy and Royal Australian Air Force have been working ever closer together with a combined anti-submarine exercise undertaken as the Indo-Pacific Endeavour Task Group sails through regional waters. HMA Ships Darwin and Adelaide were recently joined in by the Air Force's newest capability, the P8-A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft. The Poseidon provides up-to-date anti-submarine warfare and maritime patrol features, and the leading-edge aircraft flew ahead of the force and dropped a remotely operated vehicle known as an Expendable Mobile Anti-Submarine Warfare Training Target (or EMATT) into the…Read More
Sister ships share final transit
HMAS Darwin and her younger sister HMAS Melbourne have shared their last moments together, showing the rest of the Navy that the guided missile frigates are still an impressive capability. The Adelaide class frigates have deployed concurrently with a number of other Australian Navy ships to the Asian region, however, Darwin's program will see her decommission before Melbourne returns home from the deployment in December. Seizing the opportunity, Commanding Officer Darwin, Commander Phillip Henry, invited Melbourne, led by Commander Charles Bourne, to join them for some challenging Navy maneuvers. The…Read More

Forests of fir trees, snow capped mountain tops, bubbling streams, and crackling log fires. Am I in Switzerland, Austria, perhaps the Italian Alps? No, I'm in Greece!, Karpenissi to be exact, located approximately 4 hours north of Athens, on the southern slopes of Mount Tymfristos. Greece is usually associated with white sandy beaches, azure seas and waterside tavernas, but Karpenissi is a world away from the main tourist track, in a region where we see the country in its most natural and beautiful state.
This is a perfect region for outdoor activities. Popular with the Greeks in winter for skiing, hiking, rafting and cycling take over as popular pastimes in the summer months. The air here is said to be the cleanest in Europe and it is truly invigorating! The region's numerous walking trails, including parts of the E4 Path, link traditional villages following river banks, past waterfalls, across stone bridges, and with stunning scenery at every turn. When I visited in early April this year, the snow was still visible on the mountain peaks but the spring flowers had already started to poke through. Another couple of weeks later, I was informed, and the area would be transformed.
In addition to the stunning countryside, the area has plenty to offer culturally too. The National Resistance Museum in Koreshades tells the Greek resistance story, both the villages of Tournos and Megalo Chorio have folklore museums with some interesting and personal artefacts, and there's the magnificently positioned Prousos Monastery, seemingly clinging to the side of the mountain.
I already love Greek food, and as a vegetarian I find plenty to choose from, and it was nice to have dishes that I was familiar with and to discover new ones. The honey, cheeses, pastillas, and vegetable dishes are delicious. For meat eaters, the area is famed for its pork, lamb, and sausage so I can assure you – no one will go hungry! You may also want to try the locally produced tsipuro, a form of raki, and something definitely to be tried! For something smoother, the local mountain tea is delicious.
If, like me, you love travelling to Greece but have visited many of the islands and are looking for something new, then Karpenissi is a must. The scenery is reminiscent of Switzerland, the welcome typically Greek, and the walking opportunities plentiful.

Aspect of Winter
A Harmony Ink Press Title
High school isn't easy for any gay teen, and on top of everything, Fay struggles to understand his supernatural powers—and keep them hidden from everyone but his best friend Sam. It's almost too much for anyone to cope with, and it's all Fay can do to endure.
Then Fay and Sam come to the attention of a representative from Janus University, a college for people who display magical potential. Along with their classmate Tyler, the two friends are tipped into a precarious world of mystery and magic that they don't yet understand. Their lives are about to change, but first they must complete—and survive—the university's Trials. Romantic feelings start to bloom between Fay and Tyler, but before they can explore them, they must learn to deal with a new world that can be both beautiful and terrifying—especially when the dangerous source of Fay's abilities is discovered.

Exploring Alternative Futures Using a Spatially Explicit Econometric Model
Kaza, Nikhil
Knaap, Gerrit
Meade, Douglas
MetadataShow full item record
This paper illustrates the application of various forecasting methodologies in constructing multiple scenarios for the state of Maryland using Long term Inter Industry Forecasting Tool that tracks inter-industry outputs at a macro scale, and State Employment Model that disaggregates these outputs to the states. We then use accessibility, land availability and observed relationships of employment categories to distribute employment at a county level. In this paper, we identify the possible advantages and pitfalls of using large scale economic models to drive employment forecasts at the county level. This framework allows for simulating the implications of macroeconomic scenarios such as changes in exchange rates and unemployment levels, as well as local land use and transportation policies on local employment and demographics. In particular, we focus on two scenarios as test cases both of which involve very different ideas about how future might unfold and their effects on land use and transportation policy prescriptions. One of the scenarios involves, among others, rises in health care spending over the next few years and the other involves increases in energy prices. As will be shown, they have different spatial effects and suggest different policy actions on the part of various governments.

THANK YOU! We're Over Halfway There!
In 1952, when Dad broke the color-barrier to become a Baltimore City firefighter, our family moved out of the projects to a small black suburban community called Pumphrey. I still remember Dad's response coming home from work to learn that the projects raised our rent. Dad said, "Seventy-two dollars a month, we're movin'!"
After living in the concrete jungle of the city, Pumphrey was Disneyland for my sister Gloria and brothers Jerry and David. Our brother Allen was not born yet. We went swimming and fishing down the river a quarter of a mile away. My new buddy Charles taught me how to make a bow and arrow using branches and twigs. We played outside until suppertime.
At age 17, I graduated high school and became a student at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore. I often stayed at my Aunt Shirley's house who lived in the city.
In 1972, hurricane Agnes hit Maryland with a vengeance causing $110 million in damages. When I drove Belle Grove Road which is the road into Pumphrey, I was shocked. Water covered the road. Pumphrey was a lake with the tips of a few rooftops peaking out. I feared for my family.
I learned that they were safe on the hill portion of Pumphrey. Dad and my brother David rode in a rowboat
rescuing neighbors throughout the community. Dad also coordinated with the Red Cross and neighbors helping them receive their relief benefits. Young Rev Marcus, (my dad) was a hero of our community.
Dad is gone now. I am producing a full color book honoring Dad's legacy which cost $5000.
The cover is in the process of being designed by renowned Art Director/Graphic Designer Joe Ford. Thanks to your generosity, we are over halfway to our goal. Thus far you have contributed over $2700. If the balance is not raised by April 25, 2019, Kickstarter will not release any of the funds for the book to be published.
You can help at https://bit.ly/2WbzR2T
You can send a check to:
Lloyd Marcus / PO Box 283 / Paw Paw, WV 25434
No contribution is too small.
Thanks and God bless, Lloyd

Directed by David Zellner (2014)
On the surface, Kumiko, The Treasure Hunter, sounds like a comedy: A Japanese woman, convinced that the Coen Brothers' Fargo relates the location of a very real briefcase full of money, travels to Minnesota to claim her buried treasure. Beneath this absurd premise, however, lies something very different than a typical comedy: the sympathetic portrayal of a deeply unhappy person who feels compelled to escape from her life into a fantasy at the risk of self-destruction. Directed by David Zellner from a script cowritten with his brother, producer Nathan Zellner, Kumiko is sometimes whimsical, sometimes touching, and thankfully never mocking of its protagonist.
The first half of the film takes place in Tokyo, where 29-year-old Kumiko (Rinko Kikuchi) lives in a tiny apartment and works as an "office lady," a clerical job typically populated by young women who are planning to get married and settle down as housewives as soon as possible. Kumiko is not typical, and between her patronizing boss, superficial coworkers, and insufferable nag of a mother, she is constantly reminded of her failure to live up to expectations. Even the prospect of catching up with an old friend whom she runs into on the street seems to fill her with dread.
Kumiko's one source of hope is her beat-up VHS tape of Fargo, which she examines every night in an effort to discern the exact location of the buried briefcase. After upgrading to a DVD, she finally thinks she has an answer, and so when her boss lends her his company credit card so she can run an errand, she's off to America. Once there, she spends the second half of the film making her way toward her treasure, sometimes helped and sometimes hindered by an assortment of local characters.
Despite her peculiar obsession and abnormal behavior, there is much about Kumiko that elicits emotional resonance. The scene in which she parts ways with her pet rabbit, Bunzo, is heartbreaking, giving a glimpse into the feeling person beneath her normally guarded exterior. More subtly, one comes to realize that Kumiko has been so beaten down by life that even when people are genuinely trying to be kind to her — as is the case with two well-meaning, if a bit dopey, characters she meets in Minnesota, an older widow (Shirley Venard) and a sheriff's deputy (David Zeller) — she cannot help but be suspicious of their motives, a pitiable but real and recognizable reaction.
To the extent that Kumiko is successful, much of the credit goes to Kikuchi. Kumiko may rarely speak more than a few words at a time and even more rarely take actions that make any objective sense, but Kikuchi's portrayal nevertheless allows viewers to see the world through her eyes. Sean Porter's beautiful photography and The Octopus Project's atmospheric score also make the film a pleasure to watch and listen to. The Zellners' film may disorient viewers who come in expecting a barrel of laughs (though such people can be stubbornly persistent), but it will yield returns for anyone who appreciates a gentler sort of humor coupled with empathy and open-mindedness.
After two packed screenings at the Walker Art Center last weekend, Kumiko, The Treasure Hunter, returns on Oct. 23 for an appearance at the Twin Cities Film Festival.

It's an age-old question: What's the first thing a man notices when he sees a woman? Is it eyes, smile, face, body?
Obviously the first thing we notice is always something physical, and that allows us to gather intel to make decisions and judgments about what type of woman we think you may be. We use all five senses. How you look, what you're wearing, the setting, what you're drinking/eating, who you're with. Men notice whatever part of your body that stands out in 3D: Your curves, your physique and whether he sees you from the front or back. It could also be what fragrance you're wearing or how you sound. He may notice your voice if you're singing out loud, humming, or if he overhears you talking.
However, the most important thing we observe is how you carry yourself and how you act as we're trying to converse with you.
Your attitude will decide how we treat you and what we think of you.
What you say and how you say it can change, break or affirm any stereotypes and assumptions we had about you from the start, and will ultimately decide which of these four categories to put you in:
Good for one thing– That one thing is not necessarily sex, but sex is definitely a possibility. These are women we're not interested in or we're friendly with only when needed. These are women with which men expect short-term interactions. For example, a study buddy, a hookup, or someone only good for networking purposes.
She's just a friend– These are the women with which men only want to be friends. He may have tried to date or sleep with you, but if it doesn't work out, he's all right with just being friends. These are cool women worth keeping around, and if she's willing, he'd have sex with her.
She can get it– A woman he finds highly attractive and definitely wants to sex. He might be pursuing it, but probably not. These women could also be in any of the other categories, i.e. "she's just a friend, but she can get it." If it's just sex, it is what it is. Sometimes men flirt with these women; sometimes they're a secret fantasy.
Potential wife– Serious relationship/marriage material women only. These are the women that men want to do right by. These are the women that men change and sacrifice for; the women that men know they have to come correct to get.
You may not get a second chance to make a first impression, but the second thing we notice is far more important than the first. We may give you the benefit of the doubt for what may seem like a physical concern. We'll overlook what you had on or where we met. But as far as the character and attitude you display during conversation, that's what really stands out to a man.

Today, in advance, I must ask the publisher to excuse me for what I am about to do. Sorry. Today I just have to turn this space into an advertisement.
Here's the deal. I have an old worn-out piece of equipment that needs a part. It's one of those unique parts that you can't build in your shop at home and none of the junk yards have them lying around. The strange thing is, I know there has to be lots of them out there but finding one is a heck of a lot harder than I ever dreamed.
This machine is pretty darned old. When you look at it one would guess it's even older. Lots of rough use, not enough oil changes and a practically non-existent maintenance program have left it looking even older than it is. Why it wasn't taken better care of I can't explain. It has been indescribably useful around our ranch and has been loaned out to others who didn't really want to return it. Just to darn good. I have all the correct serial numbers for the part. Experts have checked to make sure the model and year are correct. A few suppliers probably have one of these parts stored away but just don't realize how important it is to let it be known it would fit this machine. Some might say, "Heck you fix this part and something else will blow up." Could be right but true to our rural stubbornness, we'll just search for that part until we find it. The machine, ugly as it may be, is just too darn valuable. We need this part. Oh, one more small thing. I can't pay for it. Will that be a problem for you? If not, give me a call and lets get the part on the way.
I guess I forgot to tell you the make, model and serial number. Don't laugh. It's a 1957 JM. Not JD, as in John Deere, JM. Stands for Jim Moss, co-owner of a newspaper we have written for many years. The worn out part we are needing to replace for him is a kidney. If you know of one, preferably from a human. Cowboy would be best but we will take a non-loop-swinger's organ, if it hasn't been used too hard. I'm not sure if male or female makes any difference but after the surgery, I'd love to be able to ask Jim which restroom he plans on going to now.
We all love him. His wife, Paulette, most of all but lots of us need him to stick around and keep being useful by brightening our days. If you have an extra kidney hanging around give him a call. We'd all appreciate it.
This was originally written over a year ago exclusively for the newspaper Jim and Paulette Moss have allowed us to be part of since it first hit the newsstands thirty years ago. After what was beginning to look like a futile search and with Jim slowly loosing the battle to survive, a miracle occurred. A nationwide search, the suggested remedy, had been exhausted with no matches found for this red headed, tough as nails cowboy with a heart as big as the great outdoors. Not surprisingly, I suppose because they just don't make many like him. Or do they? One day, a tiny, beautiful blonde young lady, far from a physical match for our old machine, decided to have the doctors take a look at her as a potential match. She was found to be a perfect match. The storybook like end to this saga took place January 16th at a hospital in Phoenix, Arizona where Jim received a kidney donated by his and Paulette's daughter, Carla, beautiful both inside and out.
The old machine needing new parts is now up and running, literally. I am thrilled to be able to write this wonderful ending to a very special story.

NORTHFIELD, Vt. - The Norwich University baseball team closed out the 2019 season with a non-conference doubleheader split vs. Pine Manor on Tuesday afternoon at Garrity Field.
Norwich (7-23) took the first game by a 14-4 score and then fell 6-3 in extra innings in the second game to split the inaugural two meetings between the two programs.
Norwich senior pitcher Jake Ryan (Arlington, Mass.) threw five shutout innings, allowing just two hits in his final appearance on the bump for the Maroon and Gold to pick up his fourth victory of the season. He also struck out a season-high seven batters and with his third strikeout of the game in the top of the 2nd inning, he reached the 100-career strikeouts milestone.
Every Norwich starter but one recorded a hit in Game 1 as the Cadets used a seven-run bottom of the second to pull away and then cruise to the victory. Freshmen Hunter Lavigne (Charlton, Mass.) and Michael Koytihk (Melrose, Mass.) led the NU offense from the bottom of the order with two hits each.
Despite being the lone starter to not tally a hit, Hayden Roberge (Middlesex, Vt.) led the team with two RBIs with a run-scoring ground and then getting hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to force in another run.
Norwich took advantage of seven Pine Manor errors in the first game and scored 10 unearned runs in the rout. Seniors Mike Lesco (Somers, Conn.), Kevin Lynch (Randolph, Mass.) and Jacob Barlow (Newburyport, Mass.) all tallied RBIs as well. Barlow made his 100th career appearance as well in Game 1.
In the nightcap, the Norwich bats cooled off and managed just six hits off Pine Manor pitching. Lorenzo Pantaleo threw seven solid innings and gave up one earned run on five hits to pick up his first win of the season for the Gators. Joe Mello came on and worked a scoreless bottom of the eighth to secure his first save of the year.
Junior Chris Dayos (Temecula, Calif.) provided the biggest spark on offense for the Cadets with a two-run single in the bottom of the fifth to score Connor McGee (Wakefield, R.I) and Roberge. Dayos' clutch hit leveled the score at 2-2 after Pine Manor scored a run each in the third and the fourth inning.
Freshman catcher Cameron Chamberlain (Marlborough, N.H.) was on base all three times with two walks and a hit to help lead the Norwich offense.
Norwich trailed 3-2 in the bottom of the seventh but Dayos reached on a fielder's choice that allowed Koby Foster (Estill Springs, Tenn.) to score on the play after an errant throw sailed out of play.
However, the tie was short lived as Pine Manor delivered a major blow in the top of the eighth inning with Franklin Baez crushing a bases-clearing triple to right center field that allowed three runs to come in and score and stake the Gators to a 6-3 lead.
Chris Henderson (Stafford, Va.) threw seven innings and gave up three earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out five in the no decision.

We're in a bubbles phase over here lately. The Lola likes this activity primarily because of the blowing, which she likes to do while sticking the bubble wand directly in my mouth. I like to watch each bubble float softly away, so beautifully fleeting and iridescent.
This thing happened a couple of weeks ago. I mentioned in my last post that when I went back to work, my schedule was the stuff dreams are made of. But you know how it goes, nothing lasts forever, and so I decided to become a (temporary?) stay-at-home mom. A housewife! I felt very 1950's! And then I was offered a job. A BETTER job! A job which, if you want to know the truth, I've been working towards ever since I graduated college and, thanks to a master's degree and some solid professional experience, I would have been really good at. A job which was also 40+ hours a week with a 40 minute commute each way.
I turned it down.
When I got the offer, I was reading "Tiny Beautiful Things," a compilation of the "Dear Sugar" advice column questions and answers written by Cheryl Strayed. I kept coming back to this letter and the idea of the "sister life" I wouldn't choose, the experiences and opportunities that wouldn't be mine.
Frankly, I've been surprised at how much I've enjoyed my days at home with my little lovie. Motherhood is, of course, a study in contradictions: long days, short years; children that you love but don't always like; never being alone but sometimes feeling lonely. But when I think about the things I would have missed about this slow life of tiny baby steps and small bites and "¿cómo dice el león?… rawrrrr!", I feel so terribly grateful.
I think I'll always work in some way or another (freelancing is a beautiful thing). But each day that I would have spent at work away from my baby now feels like summer vacation (which I'm enjoying because, just like small babies, summer vacation doesn't last).
It felt right to let that particular career option float away, swiftly and elegantly, just like our bubbles.
(The pictures are from the dolly's first birthday party and completely unrelated to this post, but isn't she cute?)

Dhaka: An aggressive campaign against smuggling and trade of narcotic substances has been undertaken in Bangladesh. More than 100 smugglers have been killed in the operation, 'War on Drugs' which started two weeks ago. Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina had ordered a crackdown on the traders of narcotic substancesa few weeks ago.
The Bangladeshi agencies informed that twelve people were killed in the joint operation of the 'Rapid Action Battalion' and 'Anti-Crime Unit' of Bangladesh on Monday night. Bangladesh's Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan, asserted that this campaign will continue till the narcotic substances are completely wiped out from Bangladesh. But some human rights groups and foreign diplomats have expressed concerns that this action is out of the purview of the judiciary.
There is no harvesting of narcotic substances in Bangladesh, but it is said that there is large scale smuggling from neighbouring Myanmar. The aforesaid action has been undertaken to stop this smuggling of narcotics. 'Rapid Action Battalion' and 'Anti-Crime Unit' are carrying out raids during the nights, at the locations where the trade of narcotics is carried out. More than 100 smugglers have been killed so far in these raids. More than 7,000 people have been arrested during the operations. Six people involved with the trade of narcotic substances were arrested in an operation on Sunday. One of them is said to be Rohingya.
Prior to this, the Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte had created a sensation by undertaking an extensive 'War on Drugs' campaign. Following this Indonesia also had taken up an extensive action against the trade of narcotics.

'Law & Order' actress Diane Neal to run for Congress in New York
KINGSTON, N.Y. — New York will see another female celebrity with political hopes campaigning this fall: Former Law & Order actress Diane Neal is seeking a new gig as representative of a sprawling congressional district in upstate New York.
Neal, 42, is one of the multitude of actors who have come and gone on the original L&O, once the longest-running crime drama on American primetime, and its spinoff shows.
From 2001-2012, she played Assistant District Attorney Casey Novak on Law & Order: SVU, now in its 19th season. More recently, in 2015, Neal appeared on NCIS: New Orleans, The Following and Blue Bloods.
On Wednesday, she launched her campaign for the 19th Congressional District, where she has lived for four years. She announced her independent candidacy in February.
The district north of the New York City metro region is a key battleground in the November midterm elections.
First-term incumbent Rep. John Faso is one of six Republican House members targeted in New York by the Democratic Party, and the Republican National Committee is determined to defend his seat.
Seven candidates are vying for the Democratic nomination, but Neal is running as an independent.
She's not the only ex-actress trying to get elected in New York this year: Cynthia Nixon, 51, who played Miranda on Sex and the City from 1998-2004, is challenging New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary this fall.
She launched her campaign in March and has already garnered a flurry of media coverage with a platform based on criticizing Cuomo for a legacy of "disappointment, dysfunctionand dishonesty."

Bindah - Jewelry, Purses or Handbags exquisite one-of-a-kind fashion accessories coming to you not just from an Indonesian woman's hands, but her heart.Bindah the perfect one-of-a-kind gift handcrafted by Indonesian artisans will not be in attendance at the Atlanta Fall Gift & Home Furnishings Market, Sept 17-19, 2013. For additional information on our collection or to place an order please visit us online at bindah.com
Craft elevated to Luxury for Home Décor and Fashion Accessories. Not Merely Possessed. Prized.A snowflake. A fingerprint. A Bindah.
What is a Bindah? It is a totally original work of art and yes, no two are exactly alike. Coming to you not just from an Indonesian woman's hands, but her heart. The painstaking yet joyous result of months of her life. Fashioned one piece at a time in a village, not a factory. Perfection is the deadline. Absolute beauty, the quota. Behold skill and artistry demonstrated at a level seldom seen in our times.
Functional Art. Each Bindah consists of a hand woven basket made of the ata vine and detailed with hand sewn glass beads. Centuries old Indonesian artisan traditions have been cultivated and combined with global attitude to showcase usable art for home décor and fashion. Strong and beautiful at the same time. Why not?
One dewy morning as I strolled through one of the more remote villages in Bali, I came across an intricately beaded basket. It was small...fist sized...but the colors and motif continued to draw me closer to look at the detail. I was so fascinated by it that I felt almost powerless not to collect it. Alas it was not to be as this small piece was part of a family tradition and heritage for the local children. I was able to collect another small and painfully intricate box which I sent to my father. Like me, he was enthralled by the craftsmanship.
Determined to find learn more about the work and the artists behind it, I found myself back in that very same village visiting the artists homes as they crafted their wares with their children playing at their feet. I felt I was in the presence of an unbroken chain that had begun centuries ago. I knew that I simply had to play a part in it. I knew that I wanted to support these family circles and given women the freedom to do their craft wherever they chose.
Bindah was born.
Fashion. Make a fashion statement with Bindah jewelry, purses or handbags. The exquisite design and craftsmanship make these one-of-a-kind fashion accessories prized to behold, and admired by others.
A 700-year old art. Talk about timeless design.The birth of a Bindah begins with a handwoven basket consisting of the ata vine or rattan from the Island of Lombok or the village of Tenganan in Bali. The village of Tenganan is a settlement that pre-dates Hinduism and is home to the Bali Aga people, the original Balinese. This is a place of unchanging tradition and ritual upheld by a fervent pride in the magic that hands can produce when given the devotion of time and love. A single ata vine can be separated up to 6 times to provide a rich woven canvas for every Bindah.
A Bindah gains color and individual personality as glass beads are hand sewn onto the woven canvas by women in their individual homes throughout the small villages in Java, Bali, and Sumatra. A small piece may take 1 day to bead. Larger pieces can take 9 months to complete. This is simply "Art from the Heart" and personality takes shape each day the artist works.
A Bindah is original, intricate, and timeless.
Gift Giving. Give the gift of Bindah and you're simultaneously helping an Indonesian artist improve the quality of life. Bindah gifts are the perfect one-of-a-kind gift for that one-of-a-kind friend or loved one.
Seasonal. Hand-woven Christmas ornaments for you or as a gift!
Bindah Vision. Our vision is to create economic opportunities for Indonesian women artisans and to give them international recognition for their beautiful works of art. Bindah pieces are created by women in rural villages enabling them to create from their home with their children close at hand.
We applaud these talented and patient artisans who spent countless hours, days, and months creating the uniquely perfect Bindahs you see on this website. It is our honor to promote Bindah to the global audience!

Consumers Line Up for New Lip Enlargement Product
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., April 23, 2013CandyLipz LLC announces a new product - the Xtreme Lip-Shaper® System - that allows users to naturally control the appearance and size of their lips. It's no longer necessary to experience expensive and invasive injections to achieve more luscious and fuller lips.
Product users can enhance their upper, lower or both lips, so the lip enhancement/enlargement system can create single or double-lobed lips. The Xtreme Lip-Shaper® System includes a lip enhancing pump which is compact, attractive and easy to use; in fact, it's designed to be used hands-free, making multi-tasking a breeze.

And, users may use the lip enlargement pump as many times during the day as they wish after an initial conditioning period of seven days.
"There is absolutely no other lip plumper of this kind which explains its high demand and waiting list," Thienna Ho, founder and inventor of the Xtreme Lip-Shaper® System, says. "The product will be available early this summer and is for males and females, 16 and older."

The process was not only expensive, but dissatisfying. I was pretty sure that I was not alone in my frustration, so I set out to create a product that would be effective, less expensive and easy to use."

TOKYObay FW' 2013 Global Print Chic Vs. Retro Minimalism at the Atlanta Fall Gift Market, Sept 17-19, 2013. Represented at AmericasMart by JustGot2Haveit! In suite 1721-17th Floor, Bldg 3
Atlanta Fall Gift & Home Furnishings Market, Sept 17-19, 2013 is pleased to feature the launch of FW' 13 Collection of Watches & Bracelets by TOKYObay. Represented at the AmericasMart by JustGot2Haveit! In suite 1721-17th Floor, Bldg 3
TOKYObay Combines Brand History From Japan & America into FW'13Global Print Chic Vs. Retro Minimalism
TOKYObay, a San Francisco fashion watch & accessories brand led by design duo Jun Kobayashi & Dory Isaacs, launch a FW'13 collection of watches and bracelets that pull from both designer's backgrounds. With Jun reigning from Japan and Dory a transplant from the UK to San Francisco, the duo have brought together their influences to create a unisex collection of bold watches & accessories. A focus on woven prints with larger open dials is cleverly contrasted with a collection of minimal classic designs to create a line of wearable, style heavy pieces.
Anatoli, matching Tex bracelet (left), Odoshi (middle) and Katana (right) use authentic woven prints on durable Italian leather cuff style straps. These intricate patterns paired with various hardware finishes & subtle dial color hits create an effortlessly unique look easily worn by men & women alike. With original tribal patterns on the strap, Anatoli's dial features a faint star etching surrounded by darted metal hour marks. A matching Tex bracelet is introduced as an instant stacking piece or a standalone style with or without a watch. Odoshi (middle) &Katana (right) integrate Japanese & American aesthetics by using, Sanada Obi, a tightly hand woven cotton & silk material with a 400 year old history. Originally used as a strong cord to wrap and fasten Samurai sword handles, the 'Obi' is still used in traditional Japanese clothing & decorations today. Created on specialty looms by a collective of artisans outside of Kyoto, the intricate designs are given a new angle on this exclusive TOKYObay line for both men & women.
In conjunction with these more graphically focused textures, a simpler aesthetic is introduced in the form of retro minimalism - Specs, Smith & Code. In place of the standard stainless steel case, the Specs watch case is made from an acetate plastic material traditionally used for eyewear. The lightweight material is polished to highlight a classic tortoise shell effect and buffed in other colors to reveal a matte finish against a smooth Italian leather strap. Color hits on the dial & bezel give this piece a minimal but playful touch that works as a men's or women's wardrobe staple. To maintain accuracy & durability, the acetate watch has been built with an inner lining of stainless steel to further secure the Japanese Miyota movement. Smith's classic look with subtle flair is apparent with its full numbered open dial, antique finishing and dash of color stitching on a thick ridged Italian leather strap. A weighty look that can go from weekend to work wear. The Code is a women's cuff band which boasts a clever dial design inspired by a minimalist bar code pattern. The iconic graphic is followed through the whole dial, increasing in width as time passes. Variations in case plating from shiny silver to sleek jet black, coordinate with subdued leather colors. A sleek silhouette with edgy graphics.
More feminine styles with a simple yet modern look are Frida & Trail. Frida is a new triple wrap style with a petite sliding watch head for an effortless jewelry style look. The instant stacking piece has contrast seasonal color stitching on soft Italian leather straps. The Trail is the perfect every day watch with compact silhouette, full numbered dial and delicate contrast stitching on soft Italian leather strap.TOKYObay's Fall Winter'13 line draws from its 21 year history in Japanese & American cultures by integrating indigenous woven fabrics into classic retro designs. Using unique patterns, color combinations, dial detailing and innovative finishes, TOKYObay strikes the perfect balance between style & utility.

A female teacher at a Hastings high school has been deregistered after admitting to a sexual relationship with a student.
In a decision issued on Thursday, the Teachers Disciplinary Tribunal cancelled her teaching registration and ordered her to pay $2226.11.
- Otago teacher's registration cancelled after inappropriate relationship with student
- NZ teacher lies to colleague, cons her into spanking session
The teacher, who has been granted name suppression, taught English at Hastings Boys' High School.
On June 23 2017, Principal Rob Sturch received screenshots of text messages between the teacher and a Year 12 student, which he believed suggested a sexual relationship.
That same day he met with the woman and showed her the messages. She admitted that she had been in a sexual relationship with the boy, who was 16 years old at the time.
She was immediately stood down and later resigned from her job.
The tribunal said the teacher was "fully cooperative" with the investigation.
"She candidly admitted the nature of her relationship with [the student] and did not resist the conclusions that cancellation of her registration to teach is inevitable."
While it's not illegal for a teacher to have sexual relations with a student who is 16 or older, it is considered "serious misconduct at a high level" by the tribunal.
"[The teacher and student] are not contemporaries," it said in its decision.
"They could not be friends. [The teacher is] in a position of power and responsibility, where he [or she] should role model appropriate behaviour."
While both the teacher and student have been granted permanent name suppression, the tribunal has named Hastings Boys' High School as media had already reported the school's name.
