'Rent' 20th anniversary tour stops at State Theatre
Friday, April 6, 2018 by DAWN OUELLETTE Special to The Press in Focus
"Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
"How do you measure, measure a year?"
It's been 20 years since the late Jonathan Larson's famous lyrics were first sung on Broadway, creating an enduring hit.
The 20th anniversary tour of "Rent" is on its national tour, with a stop at 7:30 p.m. April 11, 12, State Theatre Center for the Arts, Easton.
"Rent," the 1996 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning rock musical, is a reimagining of Puccini's "La Boheme" that follows the trials and triumphs of seven artists living in New York City as they struggle to pay the rent.
Aaron Alcaraz plays one of those artists, Angel, in the "Rent" national tour.
"Angel is a dream role for me," says the Los Angeles born and bred actor in a phone interview.
"I was just two when the musical debuted on Broadway, so my first introduction to 'Rent' was through the movie. I watched the movie over and over."
Alcarez performed for the first time on stage as a sophomore in high school.
"I never considered that theater could be a real thing for me before that," he says, "but through theater I found a way to express myself."
Alcarez believes that "Rent" and the character of Angel resonates with audiences because they are about love.
"Angel resonates love," he says. "He's a beacon of light and joy and acceptance."
The iconic song, "Seasons Of Love," opens Act 2.
"At the core, the song and the show are about the same thing" says Alcarez. "The song hits you right in the feels. We are talking directly to the audience, and I'm trying to make eye contact with as many people as I can."
Alcarez is proud to be a part of such the "Rent" story.
"The fact that I get to bring this to the entire country is amazing," he says.
"It was groundbreaking 20 years ago and the messages today are still needed. The show is still relevant and the message and mission of love and acceptance are not yet done."
Tickets: State Theatre Center for the Arts box office, 453 Northampton St., Easton; statetheatre.org; 1-800-999-7828; 610-252-3132

Following the huge success of HBO's series Flight of the Conchords, actor Rhys Darby has been clocking up a number of small roles in big comedy movies such as Yes Man and The Boat That Rocked .
Yet he's now taking his turn at playing the leading man, in romantic comedy Love Birds , alongside Happy-Go-Lucky star Sally Hawkins.
The film, which just started shooting in Auckland, centres around a lonely man who begins caring for a wounded bird in an attempt to heal his broken heart, after getting dumped by his girlfriend.
But it is Hawkins, who plays the role of a kooky animal specialist, that becomes the real nurse for his shattered heart… Wonder if he'll keep his socks on when it's "business time"?
Directed by Paul Murphy and written by Nick Ward, the film currently has no release date but it will likely be released in the UK sometime next year.
Love Birds? Or... er... hate birds? Let us know!

Mission trip
A mission trip pulls together different people to serve those in need of God's glory. How can we pray for the planned activities as well as the people involved?
James 1:27 ESV Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.
A prayer for ourselves before we embark on a mission trip
"Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You that You have everything for the upcoming mission trip already all mapped out, even before we thought of going.
Thank You for preparing the hearts that will serve You and all the wonderful testimonies You have planned for Your glory.
We pray for unity amongst the mission trip members and those we serve. May we use our spiritual gifts to support each other as we act as one of heart. May we also be quick to listen to one another and resolve misunderstandings. While we know that You will protect us, we pray that our team will stay alert to any spiritual attacks and dangers.
1 Peter 4:10 ESV As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace:
Teach us to be joyful, patient and attentive as Your Holy Spirit leads us.
2 Corinthians 9:7 ESV Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
May we always walk under Your shadow and never run ahead or behind You. We are in awe that You have called us into Your ministry of reconciling people to you.
Thank You that You use weak vessels to shine Your love in the darkness, so that people will see You when they look at those of us who serve. Please remind us to bask in Your deep, rich and everlasting love, and not to fear or worry.
2 Corinthians 4:7 NLT We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.
Our hands and hearts are open to receive from You, our King, Friend and Saviour.
In Jesus name, amen!"

In hindsight, there were plenty of warning signs all the way along until, far too late, I realised the full horror of my predicament.
Lets start with Res. Old school. He actually has many bikes, not just a Brompton (1). There are no Japanese components on his 30 year old custom built steel frame that he rides today (2). He glues his tubular tyres to his rims (3).
"Let's ride up the Col de la Colombèire."(4)
Sure, why not? It sounded vaguely familiar. But hadn't I already conquered the Belpberg, the most feared peak in Switzerland?
Sadly, this journey would be taking us through France.(5)
"I think it might be a two banana ride (6), we'd better leave at 7am (7)."
I'll stop counting now, but I still hadn't twigged and the signs continued….
The journey starts with a descent in the lift; Res keeps his bikes inside.
But we end up not starting until 7:01am. Disappointed Res…
Still predawn, but there is some ominous scenery:
Dawn breaks; "Don't worry, we go behind these, the next range is higher."
Here Res demonstrates how to adjust a Campagnola Super Record derailleur with a Swiss Army knife.
After a couple of hours, I'm feeling that I've done a day's worth of enjoyable tempo. Where's the coffee shop Res? Oh, oh, Res is getting out of the saddle:
This sign flashed past quickly. That was 600m of falling rocks, right?
No, that was 6 kilometers. And that's just the start of the ascent.
What? What is all this writing scrawled on the road? It's mostly washed out, but then I see, "Andy, Andy, Andy, Andy, Fränck, Andy" and then: "Lance, go home!".
The penny drops: Col de la Colombèire. The category 1 climb on stage 9 of the 2010 Tour de France. The stage after the rest day, where Cadel lost the yellow jersey with a broken elbow.
So now in delirium I imagine I hear the helicopters circling and the scenery shifts into HD. In my mind's eye I mentally cut to picturesque chateaux, and Gabriel Gaté recipes. We eat the first banana.
I can hear the voice of Phil Liggett explain yet again how up to 20% energy is saved by drafting in the peloton, and I tuck closer into Res's shadow. Allez, Res, allez!
Cycling is all about conserving energy, being comfortable at 98% of the red line, tiny incremental adjustments. The body goes into automatic (survival) mode. Thinking has switched off; but, like a dinosaur, the various peripheral brains take over, acting on whatever signals are coming in.
Twinge in knee, ease power. Shift hand position. Look behind. Stand for 10. Sit and shift down. Command centre to engine room: how are legs? Legs are deciding where to cramp first. Leave legs with indecision. Drink. Pick smooth road marking around drain. Trim front derailleur. Look at forest. Look at peaks. Is that the Matterhorn? Adjust chamois. What is this car doing? Coast because you are not a fixie. Stand. Dodge cracks. Overtake car. Is there a lower gear?
Suddenly its flat: "Le Reposoir", we are halfway up.
It doesn't last, as we climb out.
Only other bikes can get this high.
Finally we are there…
AYHEMC (All You Haters, Envy My Col)
…with a multitude of other cow-themed riders who have tackled it from the other (easier) side.
After that coffee, we descend fast: road surface, traffic, sun, scenery, gradient: All perfect.
Here is Res at 98% of the speed of sound.
Absolutely amazing experience. However, at the bottom there is a "surprise".
Res translates "deviation" as changing "Downhill all the way back home" into "We have to go the long way around. There is a lot more up. It's off the maps I have".
In desperation we eat our second banana.
We go around this one (note the beer kegs in foreground for scale).
We are suddenly assailed by a French bike scout troop. The leader stops traffic. Res powers through.
This is where I hear: "I'm pretty sure I know approximately where we are now."
We are now in the outskirts of Annecy. We have now passed onto the next TdF stage.
Something must give. Just before bonking we stop to refuel.
This is more than a 2 banana ride.
We finally reach the top of the next col…
Back on the flat, and eventually back into Switzerland, and eventually back home.
Packed the bike that night. Fly out of Geneva and another big ride tomorrow.
A big thanks, Res….
It may have been just another 9 hour bike ride for you, but for me it was: Totally Epic.

We've all been to art museums before. What you might not realize is that, behind these iconic buildings are secrets and intriguing stories the majority of the public are never privy to. We all know the MoMA is one of the most influential contemporary museums in the world, but what lays beneath the paint and bizarre video montages? Here are three surprising facts about museums in NY that you never knew.
1. Dead Eagles at the Museum of Modern Art
One piece being displayed in the MoMA, "Canyon" by Robert Rauschenberg, has a very interesting history. The multi media painting, created in 1959, created a host of legal problems for its past owners, who received it as inheritance. They were not allowed to sell it, since it incorporated the taxidermied body of a real eagle. The IRS, though, s

Update On Mommy
For those who know that PBM is in the hospital 3 months early of her pregnancy because her water broke I wanted to give a quick update that she's still ok.
Today I'm going to try to get to the hospital to see her and bring a fun gift basket. I was going to try to make something at Target with magazines, books, games, etc. Stuff to make her laugh and keep her entertained.
She can't have visitors so I want to send a really good gift basket, any ideas of good places that have games and stuff?
Keep your thoughts with her.

Yesterday I got in two more games of SAGA at Galactic comics and games in Statesboro. I decided to try some of the fantasy boards created on the internet which I have found at this excellent German blog SAGA Fantasy Battle-boards . My fellow players were nice enough to let me use them so it was great. Miniature wise until I find the time and money to get some more appropriate minis, I have been press-ganging my Warhammer Beastmen. Which is fine by me !
The first game was against a Byzantine warband and it was a game of Escort. He had to escort three pieces of baggage (a magic sword, a cow, and a magic book :p), across the board from his edge to my edge. I played Mordor organised into a large group of Hearthguard, a large group of warriors , and my warlord.
The first game was against a Byzantine warband and it was a game of Escort. He had to escort three pieces of baggage (a magic sword, a cow, and a magic book :p), across the board from his edge to my edge. I played Mordor organised into a large group of Hearthguard, a large group of warriors , and my warlord.
The Byzantines sent a small unit of mounted kavallaraioi (Hearthguard) to tackle my Hearthguard, while the rest offered close escort to the baggage. My warriors moved to block that escape path.
My warlord got peppered with arrows which though did not hurt him. The idea of man-flesh and horse-flesh for dinner excited my creatures!
The kavallaraioi charged into my warrior unit but were driven back by their bestial rage.
Another tussles and my warriors got their taste for man-flesh and horse-flesh satiated (Come on it was a funny scene in the Two Towers movie adaption: MAAANN FLESSSSHH)
In the end though a combination of his warlords suicidal bravery, and single-mindedness to save the baggage, gave the game to the Byzantines!
The second battle was a bit more to my liking. A Challenge! A mighty clash of two warlords to see who is more badass. As per rules the two warlords start close to each other, while their peeps are on the sidelines, rushing to join in the glorious carnage. I played the Goblin Battle board while my opponent was an Irish warband, which also had dogs. My warband was made of two units of hearthguard (8 and 4), and a unit of warriors (8).
The battle started well for me, as I moved first. Arrgghh! My warlord and hearth-guard crushed into his, shaving off 6 of 12 hitpoints (in Challenge warlords have 12 instead of 2 hit-points) .
However, at a terrible price. His own warriors and bodyguards came up to help his warlord!
While the warlords clashed, my hearthguard was whittled down bit by bit, even though at times my dice were really good. Try as I might, for the rest of the game I was unable to take any more HPs from the Irish chief.
And the Irish were more than willing to use cowardly javelins to pester me!
Warriors and warlord would clash with warlord, but my big horned goblin king held his ground! Fatigue began accumulating to both sides.
Meanwhile my second hearth-guard and his war-hounds edged to the fight.
A scene from the nightmares of fantasy authors! A beast vs. beast battle! The hounds tore the flesh of my monstrosities eradicating the last of my big hearth-guard unit!
Meanwhile my warriors on the other flank and his warriors engaged in a see-saw battle!
My warlord feels a bit isolated! But no matter! The Eye protects and man and dog flesh shall succor!
HAHAHAHAH! TO THE DEATH! Another massive Irish attack on my warlord fails to do the job.
Man is repalced by his best friend, as the warhounds bark and jump to tear the flesh of my warlord1
But alas for the puppies, they shall be food tonight!
My remaining hearth-guard come up to help! While fatigue starts to accumulate to dangerous levels among the warriors of Erin.
Dice are rolled and hits are thrown as my beast tries to kill the enemy chief!
But it was not meant for the Dark Eye to win today. The Irish warlord smashed his sword into mine, and does enough damage so that he can win the fight, even though my ravaged warlord is still alive.
The last of my hearth-guard kill one of the bodyguards of the Irish warlord.
And in the end , all side exhausted the forces of the Eye slither away in darkness to dark dens to nurture their wounds!
All in all it was a blast. I did not feel I got a chance to fully explore the Mordor Battle-board in the first battle, but the fight was different from the usual. The second battle was epic! The Irish are fun and interesting enemy, and the Goblins battleboard while not fully facile due to the low numbers of my warband, made my warlord a rock on which the Irish storm broke. In the end I lost, but it came after a game full of many good "what the devil" moments and a lot of mayhem!
As it should be in Saga!
As it should be in Saga!

Kid Lyrik a.k.a. Kudzai Mawunganidze speaks out
Kid Lyrik – real name Kudzai Mawunganidze – has revealed how drug dealing got him deported from the United States.
Kid Lyrik (27) who was in the US since the age of eight staying in Texas was deported last year in October after being arrested by undercover police during a cocaine drug deal.
He was also caught in possession of four kilogrammes of marijuana.
Like most rappers in the US, who start off as drug dealers and then pursue their music professionally to becoming stars, Kid Lyrik had seen himself take the same path.
Kid Lyrik, who is now staying with his uncle in Marlborough in the capital, opened up about his gangster lifestyle that included, drug dealing, women, owning a gun and getting intoxicated basically on a daily basis.
"I left Zimbabwe when I was eight, at that time I was staying with my grandmother in Chitungwiza, both my parents' were already in the US.
"I was staying in Texas-Dallas and over the years, I became good friends with many cowboys, some who later who became my marijuana suppliers.
"I considered drugs after I lost my dad in 2009, I was very close to him than I was to my mom and losing at a time when I was graduating from high school the next year kind of affected me.
"My dad had separated with my mom and he had moved back to Zimbabwe where he died.
"From there I started taking drugs then went to selling marijuana.
"I would take cocaine too but it wasn't my trade," he said.
He said he had two accomplices that helped him sell the marijuana, his two girlfriends he stayed with, one named Kara and other Sally Gee.
He added he slept like a king, as he would get sexually engaged to both of both at the same time (three-some).
"I met these two girls when they were already dating each other, they were bisexual and after the three of us clicked everything was good.
"They would do anything for me from selling marijuana to just anything.
"It was also good business having the two girls play front as it brought in many customers.
"I was making around a thousand dollars a week a selling one gramme for ten dollars.
"I wasn't rich but it was good money, I was comfortable and lived the lifestyle I wanted.
"I was also making around US$150 a day from my Snapchat account," he said.
As a drug dealer, Kid Lyrik said he also owned a gun and at some point had three guns that he used a couple of times.
Kid Lyrik said he was growing popular around Texas with his music, which he produced and wrote on his own.
He became popular, got the attention around Texas and was performing at small and big events in the city.
"My music was basically about drugs, sex and money but I always wanted my music to have a deeper meaning combining that, so I started to teach myself sociology and psychology.
"As a rapper, I knew it would take me global."
However, his music-gangster lifestyle came to an end when he was arrested.
He spent nine months behind bars and from there he was deported back to Zimbabwe.
"I never saw myself coming to Zimbabwe I just thought after my release I am going back to my lifestyle.
"I wrote a lot of music whilst I was in prison and it's all on my upcoming EP entitled "The irony of contradiction"
"I produced the EP with the help of my young brother Blawu."
Kid Lyrik still strongly believes he can go global with his music and has recently released a song entitled "Coming to America" produced by Oskid.
"The song is about me going back to America, not physical since I was deported but going back to America in the sense of my music playing in America.
"I was already making 'noise' in Texas with great potential of blowing up in other states in America and that dream for me still lives on.
"I have great faith I will make it with my music.
"I also want to study sociology and psychology majoring in mass communication, hopefully, next year I start my studies," he said.H-Metro

Wilfred Marodza raped woman four times in the park
Wilfred Marodza, a trainee solicitor at a top law firm who repeatedly raped a young woman after stalking her and dragging her to a park is facing years in prison.
Marodza, 28, pounced on the victim, in her twenties, in the early hours of July 20 as she walked along Great Dover Street in Borough, grabbing on to her neck and threatening her as he forced her into a secluded part of Dickens Fields.
He then stripped her and raped her four times before she managed to break free, Inner London crown court heard.
She fled naked through the street with Wilfred Marodza in pursuit, as he claimed to bystanders they were having a "domestic" before she managed to escape in a passing minicab.
Marodza, a trainee solicitor with firm Cripps Pemberton Greenish, had been drinking in the area before carrying out the attack at 2.15am and struck again less than two hours later.
He grabbed another woman, also in her twenties, from behind in Borough High Street and put his hand over her mouth, attempting to drag her into a side street. However, the woman screamed and Wilfred Marodza fled.
Police were able to catch him because he left his rucksack, with his work identification inside, at the scene.
CPS prosecutor Nahid Mannan said: "This was a horrendous attack on two young, lone females. The prosecution case included compelling evidence showing Marodza dragging the two victims to secluded areas and also chasing the naked victim he had just raped.
"Marodza also left his rucksack containing his work identification at the scene of the rape, allowing police to easily identify him.
"The CPS takes crimes against women extremely seriously and I hope this conviction goes some way to provide the victims with a degree of closure."
At court yesterday, Wilfred Marodza, a Zimbabwean national from Eastbourne in East Sussex, pleaded guilty to four counts of rape, kidnapping and a charge of committing an offence with the intent to commit a sexual offence.
He was remanded in custody by Judge Nigel Seed QC until a sentencing hearing next month.
Gavin Tyler, the managing partner at Cripps Pemberton Greenish, said: "We are completely appalled to learn of Wilfred Marodza's conviction for such shocking offences. We were informed by the police in July of the arrest and that he was remanded in custody but did not know anything about the details of the offences until today. Our thoughts, of course, are with the victims and their families.
"Although there were never any concerns raised internally regarding Mr Marodza, we are offering support for staff members who worked closely with him or who feel affected by the news for any other reason." The Standard
FBI takes down Nigerian fraudsters in $46M case
The relationship between a Japanese woman and a U.S. Army captain stationed in Syria started online, through an international social network for digital pen pals. It grew into an internet romance over 10 months of daily emails.
It ended with the woman $200,000 poorer and on the verge of bankruptcy after borrowing money from her sister, ex-husband and friends to help Capt. Terry Garcia with his plan to smuggle diamonds out of Syria.
In reality, there were no diamonds and there was no Garcia — they were part of an elaborate scam hatched by an international ring of cyber thieves operating mainly out of Los Angeles and Nigeria.
Federal authorities cited the case of the Japanese woman, known only as "F.K." in court papers, on Thursday when they announced an indictment charging 80 people with stealing at least $46 million through various schemes that targeted businesses, the elderly and anyone susceptible to a romance scam. Most of the defendants are Nigerian fraudsters.
"We believe this is one of the largest cases of its kind in U.S. history," U.S. Attorney Nick Hanna told a news conference. "We are taking a major step to disrupt these criminal networks."
The investigation began in 2016 with a single bank account and one victim, said Paul Delacourt, assistant director in charge of the FBI's Los Angeles office. It grew to encompass victims who were targeted in the U.S. and around the world, some of whom like the Japanese woman lost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
"F.K. was and is extremely depressed and angry about these losses," the federal complaint states. "She began crying when discussing the way that these losses have affected her."
Her relationship began innocently in March 2016 with an email but soon "Garcia" made "romantic overtures," according to federal authorities. He told her they couldn't talk by phone because he wasn't allowed to use one in Syria.
So a stream of emails went back and worth, with her using Google to translate his English into her Japanese. A month into the relationship, Garcia told her he'd found a bag of diamonds in Syria and he began introducing her to his associates, starting with a Red Cross representative who told her Garcia had been injured but had given him the box.
F.K. ultimately made 35 to 40 payments, receiving as many as 10 to 15 emails a day directing her to send money to accounts in the U.S., Turkey and the United Kingdom through the captain's many purported associates.
The Nigerian fraudsters even threatened her with arrest if she did not continue to pay and at one point she travelled to Los Angeles because she was told a Russian bank manager had embezzled more than $33,000 of her funds.
Authorities arrested 14 defendants Thursday, mostly in the Los Angeles area. FBI agents could be seen processing suspects in a downtown Los Angeles parking lot before they were arraigned in federal court. It was not immediately known if they had attorneys who could speak on their behalf.
Two suspects were previously in custody and a few others were arrested earlier this week. Hanna said he hoped to be able to work with foreign governments to extradite the remaining Nigerian fraudsters.
They all face charges of conspiracy to commit fraud, conspiracy to launder money, and aggravated identity theft, and some are charged with additional offences for alleged fraud and money laundering.AOL
Bulawayo woman brutally killed in the UK
A UK-based Zimbabwean woman was found lying in a pool of blood with multiple stab wounds, inflicted allegedly by her husband.
Essex police reported that a murder probe has since been launched after the woman, identified as Linda Nomagugu Vilika (41) from Bulawayo's Mpopoma suburb, was brutally butchered on Wednesday.
The incident allegedly happened in broad daylight.

Vilika's siblings took to Facebook to express their shock and heartbreak at the passing of their sister.
Ms Sithulisile Vilika, a sister to the deceased described her as a cheerful person who touched many lives and shared pleasant laughter moments.
Mntaka tata can you find peace where you are. Be a good guardian Angel to the family, Whisper to us what really went on- on the day of your death so we can find healing.
"As a family, we will never come to understand the way you died it will be scarred forever. Many people will miss you friends and colleagues that you have touched their lives in so many different ways. You lived your life the best way you knew how and to the fullest."
"One will miss that beautiful smile and to hear your pleasant laughter. One thing I know is that even on your last breath you fought so hard to stay alive but God had other plans. Where you are now always holding a candle for us and wait patiently for our reunion. May your soul rest in peace my beloved sister Linda Nomagugu Vilika," wrote Ms Sithulisile Vilika on Facebook.

Manila is now known for it's sprawling city and traffic. But there is still a small part of the city that capture's Manila's past. In Intramuros, remnants of Spanish rule can be found in the form of Fort Santiago, refurbished colonial buildings and churches. This is the historic centre and oldest district of Manila. In fact Intramuros was Manila from the city's foundation in 1571 to the end of Spanish rule in 1898.
Fort Santiago
A walk around Fort Santiago will give you a good idea of the history and tragedies that happened in the area. Once the military headquarters of the Spanish colonial government and the location where José Rizal – the national hero of the Philippines – was imprisoned prior to his execution, now houses a small museum dedicated to his life and work in a restored section of one of the fort's former barracks. Next to the barracks, sunken dungeons act as reminders of the horrors that happened here especially during World War II, as the Japanese imprisoned hundreds of Americans and Filipinos.
Casa Manila
Take a closer look at the colonial lifestyle during the Spanish colonisation of the Philippines in this museum. Set in a beautifully designed stone-and wood structure, it is directly across the street from the historic San Agustin church.
San Agustin Church
A beautiful Roman Catholic church under the auspices of The Order of St. Augustine, used to this day by the city's elite for weddings and funerals.
In 1993, San Agustin Church was one of four Philippine churches constructed during the Spanish colonial period to be designated as aWorld Heritage Site by UNESCO, under the collective title Baroque Churches of the Philippines.1
White Knight Hotel Intramuros
A chance to stay in the centre of Manila's history town in a charming restored building. White Knight Hotel also houses a restaurant with a gorgeous courtyard for alfresco dining.

The Importance of Proximity Awareness
On a busy worksite, it can be difficult to keep track of equipment, workers, and other vehicles without the right tools. Blind spots and permanent or temporary obstructions can further complicate this equation, putting personnel and equipment at risk without an effective proximity awareness system. Guardvant's effective ProxGuard proximity awareness alerting system is an excellent solution to maintain worksite safety and productivity in the mining industry.
Worker Safety
Mining companies have a commitment to keep workers safe while on the job. However, surface mining operations can present several unique and serious hazards, particularly when large equipment and vehicles are present. Proximity awareness systems offer a redundant safety solution that alerts both vehicle operators and site monitoring facilities to situations in which immediate action is needed to prevent a collision or other incident that could result in a serious worker injury.
Equipment Protection
Your mining equipment is a valuable and vital component of your business. However, maneuvering vehicles and equipment through challenging terrain could leave this property at risk for damage without consistent and accurate proximity awareness. Investing in an effective proximity awareness solution is also an investment in your equipment by avoiding collisions that may otherwise cause significant property damage in addition to potential injuries.
Productivity Management
When workers are injured or equipment is damaged during collisions and other accidents, your operation will also lose productivity as a result. Thus, proximity awareness will not only improve the safety of your worksite, but also maintain productivity by helping you to effectively avoid situations in which damaged equipment or missing workers cause lost time and profits.
You can discover the benefits of Guardvant's advanced ProxGuard proximity awareness system when you check out the information on our website to learn how this effective solution works and what it can do for your mining operation. We also invite you to click through our blog for more tips and news, or contact our company today at (520) 299-1911 for additional information on how you can integrate our safety systems into your business.

While savings rates across the UK increased marginally during July, must are falling well short of the current rate of inflation (2.6%). With base interest rates also capped at 0.25% and likely to remain this way for the foreseeable future, it is fair to say that saving money is no longer the best way to build wealth for the future.
Neither is reckless spending, of course, so as individuals we need to uncover creative and quirky ways of utilizing our disposable income in order to achieve financial security.
In this article, we will look at three quirky ways of using your disposable income in a bid to achieve such as objective:
Invest in Businesses
While we are not suggesting that you apply to become an investor on Dragon's Den (although let's face it, everyone else seems to have had a go), it is now possible back emerging start-ups in an attempt to build long-term gains.
In truth, there has never been a better time to attempt this, particularly with the popular crowdfunding model having evolved to provide far greater rewards. More specifically, investors can now access an equity-based model, which is more in line with traditional investments in that individuals commit funds in exchanged for a share in the company.
With a keen instinct and an eye for value, you can quickly become a small-scale tycoon that leverages disposable income in order to buy potentially valuable shares and equity stakes.
Play the Financial Markets
The term 'play' is probably a little misleading here, particularly when you consider that the forex market alone sees an estimated $5.1 trillion traded each day. Make no mistake; however, investing responsibly in the financial marketplace can reap sustained and lucrative rewards, with margin-based returns capable of helping you to earn far more than your initial capital.
This objective is now more accessible than ever before, thanks to the proliferation of technology and online trading platforms such as LCG. These resources offer you real-time access to multiple markets, along with in-depth analytical tools, risk-management measures and brand new asset classes.
Newcomers can even access a demo account on most trading platforms, which offers them access to a simulated and live market environment where they can hone their skills without placing their hard-earned capital at risk.
Buy Some Domain Names
As you can probably tell by now, speculation is the best way to accumulate in the current climate. We have continued our theme with our next step, which is also taps into the rising trends for e-commerce and online business ventures.
More specifically, you can invest in idle domain names that you believe may offer value in the future. These can be purchased for just a few pounds, while you can stockpile these and trade them online in order to make a profit.
The key is to identify domain names that relate to growth industries, as these are most likely to be in demand in the near-term. These can subsequently be sold for a profit, while the sale of multiple domains can build a tidy profit without the need for too much work.

#ConfrontationModel, #effectiveconflict #conflictresolution #positive disagreements, #OpeningStatement, #Relationships #Leadership, #softstart
My coaching clients often identify issues that consistently drain their emotional energy. Many times, the issue involves another person, and the only way to resolve the issue is to have a conversation with that person. Unfortunately, few of us are adept, or even comfortable, beginning conversations that are going to be difficult.
Most of the time, it is a conversation my client dreads, which is totally understandable. Most of us aren't trained to handle conflict, and we rarely see conflict done well. Every sitcom and reality show on television depends on people handling conflict poorly!
However, we can have productive conversations about disagreements that will actually strengthen our relationships. It takes a little courage if you don't care for difficult conversations, but the results can be life-changing.
The key is to start the conversation well. Research shows that if we begin a conversation harshly, it will end harshly more than 90% of the time. The opening is crucial. We want to clearly state what we want to talk about in a nonconfrontational manner.
Besides courage, a little preparation will help. I often help clients get ready for difficult conversations, and we use an outline from the book Fierce Conversations. You can download a summary of the model on my website under the "Free Stuff" tab.
There are seven steps in the Confrontation Model in Fierce Conversations. I am not a fan of the name of the model, but it's a great tool. Think of it as "Creating an Opening to a Conversation that Can Change Your Life for the Better." That title is a little long, but you get the point. We want to start a courageous conversation that will improve our relationship with someone else and also improve the quality of our lives.
OPENING STATEMENT. There are seven steps to create a succinct and nonthreatening opening statement. When we are done, we will have a complete introduction to the conversation that will take us only 60 seconds to say. It's just a beginning, but it sets the tone. We don't want to drone on and make the other person defensive. Once it's written, we want to practice saying it out loud until we remember it easily. I role-play with my coaching clients until they are completely comfortable saying their opening statements.
Step 1. Name the issue. We start by clearly stating the behavior or issue that we want to talk about.
"I want to talk with you about the effect that [a specific behavior or situation] is having on [me, our family, the team, etc.]."
The key here is that we are clearly talking about the effect that the behavior or situation is having. We are talking about a specific outcome for a specific situation or behavior.
Sometimes there are several issues that we want to discuss. Pick the one that would improve your life the most if resolved. When I work with clients, sometimes we find a theme once we start discussing the various behaviors and situations.
For example, if an employee has had several poor interactions with several clients, we don't want to talk about just one instance; we want to discuss their poor customer service skills.
Step 2. Select a specific example that illustrates the behavior or situation you want to change. We want to give specific examples of the situation or behavior that we've described in Step 1. The example gives the other person a clear picture of the focus for the discussion.
"For example, yesterday…"
The entire opening statement will only be 60 seconds long, so we want to be succinct. If we give a long litany of the person's misdeeds, they will check out of the conversation. We want to give a couple of very short examples of the behavior or situations.
In our customer service example, we would say something like, "For example, ABC Company said that you are not returning their calls. In addition, the representative from XYZ reported that you gave them outdated information then got defensive and raised your voice when she asked for current information."
Step 3. Describe your emotions about this issue. Every discussion has a fact and a feeling part. We often ignore the feeling part, but we have to deal with both in order to resolve any conflict. In addition, sharing our emotions makes the conversation personal because we show some vulnerability. It's okay to say that we are angry about something as long as we say it calmly.
This step reminds me of a simple formula for "I statements" that my children learned from their first grade teacher. She taught them to say,
"When you [do this] it makes me feel [emotion]." It was simple enough for first graders and very effective because it kept the children from blaming and name-calling. It's a skill and sentence that we could all use more often!
"I am feeling [frustrated, embarrassed, not appreciated, etc.]."
In our example, we could say, "I am concerned about keeping our customers and afraid we are losing our reputation for caring about our customers."
Step 4. Clarify what is at stake. If the situation continues as it is, what will be lost or gained? This step is often left out, and it's important that everyone know what is at stake if nothing changes.
We are telling the other person why this is important. We don't want our statements to sound threatening. The goal is to make the outcomes for the current behavior or situation very clear.
"This is what is at stake…"
In our example we could say, "There is a great deal at stake right now. Our reputation as a company that is responsive to customer needs is in danger. Our customer service is what differentiates us from our competition, and if we lose our reputation, it could substantially affect our financial goals."
Step 5. Identify your contribution to this problem. We don't have to give a long confession here. Remember, we only have 60 seconds for the entire opening statement. However, we want to acknowledge any role that we have played in creating the problem. We also want to make clear our intention to do something about it.
"I lost my temper." Or "I haven't spoken up."
One of the most common contributions is not communicating clear expectations. Susan Scott mentions it in Fierce Conversations, and I see it with my clients, as well. Another contribution I see often is people not speaking up when they are first upset. They let the situation fester until they can't stand it anymore. It's better to speak up in the beginning and have a truthful conversation about what's bothering you.
In our example, we could say, "I noticed your poor interaction with customers earlier and should have spoken to you immediately." Or we might say, "I don't feel that I have clearly communicated our customer service standards and why they are crucial to our company's success."
If we truly don't believe that we have contributed in any way, we can leave this step out.
Step 6. Indicate your wish to resolve the issue. Assure the person that you aren't blaming or complaining; you want to figure out how to make it better together.
"This is what I want to resolve with you: [restate the issue]."
We want to show that our intent is figure out a way to fix or improve the situation. When we restate the issue, we are keeping the focus on the one thing that we want to talk about.
In our example, we could say, "I want to resolve the issue of your poor customer service actions so that we can keep meet our customers' needs in a positive way." In this example, we are letting our employee know that we are not planning to fire him or her. We want to find a way to help them be successful.
Step 7. Invite the other person to respond. Once we finish our 60-second opening statement, we want to give the other person a chance to respond. The opening statement was just the beginning of the conversation.
"I want to understand what is happening from your perspective. Please talk to me about what is going on."
To our customer service-challenged employee, we could say, "Please give me your perspective on your customer interactions." We want to hear about any obstacles or circumstances that are getting in the way. Remember, we are looking for ways to improve the situation.
Important note: If the other person tries to interrupt you before you finish with the 60-second opening statement, ask them to let you finish. Tell them it will only take 60 seconds and then you want to hear what he or she has to say.
Now we go through the rest of the Conversation Outline: Discover and Share > Develop Solutions > Agree > Close. Discover and Share is the most important step. We want to use active listening skills be sure to ask about the fact and feeling parts of the issue. We want to be sure that the other person feels confident that we understand and acknowledge his or her positions, interests, and feelings before we move on to Develop Solutions.
Once we agree on a solution, we want to discuss what we have learned and where we are now in the Agree step. We want to be sure to clearly define who is doing what by when.
In Close, we ask if there is anything else that needs to be said and express gratitude for the person for working through the challenge or issue with us.
During the conversation, people will often try to assign blame or change subjects. Our job is to keep the conversation on-topic. If a person says, "Well, they should have come to me with that information," we would respond with, "We are here to talk about your interaction with customers." Calmly refuse to get sidetracked.
When discussing conversations that need to happen with coaching clients, they often tell me that the other person won't be able to handle the discussion or that talking with him or her won't help. First, the alternative to not having the conversation is to continue to endure a situation that is causing stress and draining emotional energy. Second, we really don't know how it will turn out until we try. The other person may get emotional. That's okay! It is perfectly alright for people to feel strong emotions. We don't need to protect them from that – or run from it. It takes some courage, but we can witness someone feeling strong emotions. In coaching, we call it standing in the lion's roar. I love that metaphor.
I want to add one caveat. I find that most people are reasonable human beings who will engage in a productive conversation if given the invitation and circumstances that make them feel safe to engage in a dialogue. Effective conflict involves telling others what we think and feel. We must be a little vulnerable, and most people are willing to do that. However, there are a few mean-spirited people out there whose goal is cause harm. It isn't a misunderstanding; it's an attack.
If you can, let those people go. If you can't, document every conversation. At work it is especially important to get everything that you can in writing. Send an email summary of the conversation and ask for the other person to confirm that you understood everything correctly. Whatever the circumstance, do your best to keep the negative meanies from stealing your joy. They are not worth it.
Most of the time, we can improve our lives by easing tension and removing energy drains with some preparation, determination, and courage. Grab some support if you need it, and know that no matter the outcome, the conversation is usually worth it.

Ask any runner, and I bet you'll get a general consensus – whenever you CAN'T or SHOULDN'T run (read: injured/resting/recovering) it is when you WANT to run the most!
Here, 8 days post-Chicago, I am ITCHING to run…bad. Sure, on Saturday I did run/walk training with the No Boundaries Group at Fleet Feet, but I am not counting that 😉 Since I began training with the Hanson Marathon Method, I've been a stickler to the recovery period after 26.2, but as I transition into a new schedule, I came up with an idea that I think will benefit not just me and my antsy-ness, but the greater good!!
Introducing…the MILE MATCH CHALLENGE!
So, yes – you may have heard of a matching challenge before – where someone donates an amount, and then some wealthy donor goes in to match it, essentially doubling your money. Well, I am still working on finding a wealthy donor or two, but in the meantime, I am doing what I do best – running – and matching each dollar to support the cause and prepare for all the running fun ahead this season.
So PLEASE! Share this post, share this link, just SHARE and I SO appreciate donations of any shape and size…from $1 to $500 (okay, that might be a bit challenging to do, but hey, a promise is a promise and we all need to make some sacrifices to achieve goals, right!?)
DONATE TODAY – and I'll be lacing up my shoes and hitting the road!
How many miles do you run a month? How many miles do you think I'll reach in the next 40 days?

Democrat Barack Obama and his Republican challenger Mitt Romney wrapped up campaign 2012 with a whirlwind of rallies in so called battleground states that the candidates need to win the election. VOA's Chris Simkins has more on the race for the White House, which is too close to predict a winner.

Presentation Filter:
Dead code is source code that can never be executed in a running program. The surrounding code makes it impossible for a section of code to ever be executed.
The table(s) below shows the weaknesses and high level categories that are related to this weakness. These relationships are defined as ChildOf, ParentOf, MemberOf and give insight to similar items that may exist at higher and lower levels of abstraction. In addition, relationships such as PeerOf and CanAlsoBe are defined to show similar weaknesses that the user may want to explore.
Relevant to the view "Research Concepts" (CWE-1000)
Relevant to the view "Development Concepts" (CWE-699)
The different Modes of Introduction provide information about how and when this weakness may be introduced. The Phase identifies a point in the software life cycle at which introduction may occur, while the Note provides a typical scenario related to introduction during the given phase.
The table below specifies different individual consequences associated with the weakness. The Scope identifies the application security area that is violated, while the Impact describes the negative technical impact that arises if an adversary succeeds in exploiting this weakness. The Likelihood provides information about how likely the specific consequence is expected to be seen relative to the other consequences in the list. For example, there may be high likelihood that a weakness will be exploited to achieve a certain impact, but a low likelihood that it will be exploited to achieve a different impact.
Example 1
The condition for the second if statement is impossible to satisfy. It requires that the variables be non-null, while on the only path where s can be assigned a non-null value there is a return statement.
(bad code)
Example Language: C++
String s = null;
if (b) {
s = "Yes";}
if (s != null) {
Example 2
In the following class, two private methods call each other, but since neither one is ever invoked from anywhere else, they are both dead code.
(bad code)
Example Language: Java
public class DoubleDead {
private void doTweedledee() {}
private void doTweedledumb() {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("running DoubleDead");}
(In this case it is a good thing that the methods are dead: invoking either one would cause an infinite loop.)
Example 3
The field named glue is not used in the following class. The author of the class has accidentally put quotes around the field name, transforming it into a string constant.
(bad code)
Example Language: Java
public class Dead {
String glue;
public String getGlue() {
return "glue";}
This MemberOf Relationships table shows additional CWE Categories and Views that reference this weakness as a member. This information is often useful in understanding where a weakness fits within the context of external information sources.

Goddamn... I forgot how good this movie is.
It finds a perfect spot between cheesy and goose-bump-inducing joy with an incredibly tight script and crisp direction.
In my opinion, Whoopi Goldberg's greatest film, and most definitely the best movie you could possibly make about a lounge singer finding refuge in a convent so her mobster boyfriend doesn't kill her.
I'm developing a bad habit of watching terrible movies just because of an interesting poster.
Why is almost everything shot in a wide? Why are these wides so awkwardly framed?
A poor, not at all fun, 'video nasty'.
Without a doubt, my favourite Hitchcock film - by far. I'd even go as far to say that this is his masterpiece. The rich characterisation, the quintessential pure cinematics, the dexterous cinematic language, the impeccable performances and the fantastic set-design all come together to produce something truly special. I don't like the use of fast motion, nor parts of the logic with the climax, but this is entirely overshadowed by every other detail of the feature.
This film deserves a lot more words, especially when considering the depths of subtext to be found around Jeff's relationship with Lisa in relation to the many residents of the courtyard, but, I need not say more right now than this is one of the undeniable all-time-greats that everyone needs to see.
Incredible. Powerful visual poetry. Koyaanisqatsi is utterly immersive and impossibly beautiful. I thought this would be an arduous watch, but everything flies by so fast, leaving you in awe.
It is immensely difficult to gain a satisfactory perspective on a bigger picture than yourself and your little life. Koyaanisqatsi allows something of an incite into a bigger picture of industrialisation and progress - and in a, in certain senses, long gone time. This is certainly the power of the film; its ability to convey the momentum of a society in such a captivating manner. And the purpose of all of this is to ask us what definition of "Koyaanisqatsi" makes sense in relation to what you've seen.
I personally have to go for 'crazy life' as I didn't really feel much negativity to be drawn from this hectic depiction of humanity. So, ultimately, if the aliens show up, maybe this would be an interesting thing to show them?
Another great hour from Louis C.K. I particularly love the approach of many of his bits that ensures he never, not really, kinda, almost, definitely, always... may... have something of an opinion on a subject. I think this speak volumes about his kind of comedy; the commentary is complex, is sometimes dark, is sometimes absurd, but always, and before anything else, comedic.
And need I say more than "CHRIST!". Pure gold. Make sure you see it if you haven't already.
An interesting film. Sometimes beautiful. Sometimes quite unsettling. Ultimately, it drags on far too long with painful pacing. The worst element of this Decasia, however, is certainly the soundtrack. I don't understand the choice to play constantly disturbing music - even over imagery that seems joyful or placid. It's starts out confusing, becomes jarring and is eventually monotonous and banal.
If you want to see a film that uses decayed, fractured and destroyed footage, check out Tscherkassky's work; with this approach he creates narratives with a unique cinematic language (that don't last too long).
Not as good as the old T.V show, but, for some reason, I've always enjoyed this movie. It's pretty stupid and the supporting cast are quite bad. The script is very shoddy too. But, Atkinson has quite a few great moments that are supported well by the surprisingly good score and direction - look for instance to the poster replacement sequence.
I laughed like an idiot all throughout the final act, and... yeah, a dumb movie that I always end up watching whenever it's on T.V
I don't really know how or why I stumbled onto this, but, Jesus...
I know almost nothing about opera, classical singing, orchestras and so on, but this film/concert is beyond many preconceptions you may bring to it. There is just such immense emotional power exuding from almost every moment of each performance that this wholly transcends artistic forms and simply speaks to any and everyone. In other words, no matter what you like, what you don't like, or what you think about classical music and opera, I bet this concert will astound you.
And beyond that, I think I've been left speechless.

Will you start the fans, please! It seems people have already started funding in droves as a new attempt to crowdfund an interactive Crystal Maze has raised over £230,000, which is almost half of what it needs, in just over a day.
The "Live Immersive Experience" is planned to take over a "space" near King's Cross in central London, and will see the classic Channel 4 show's four zones recreated – as well as the Crystal Dome, of course.
The project also has the blessing of original host Richard O'Brien, who will be appearing on videos watched by contestants at the start of their adventure. As teams enter the maze, a trained actor will play the presenter role, leading them through the different games, and presumably accompanying them with a harmonica.
The game won't be exactly like the one on TV. In this live-action variation, there will be four teams playing at once, one in each zone, who will then face off together in the Crystal Maze.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the production team is going with recreating the Industrial Zone, instead of the Aquatic one that replaced it, because dealing with all of that water might be a lot of faff. Almost half of the money is budgeted to go on recreating the Maze, so hopefully it should be pretty authentic too... though the creators have wisely decided to also include a bar area.
The team behind it sound as though it is certainly qualified to make it real: it includes Ben Hodges, who is one of the brains behind Secret Cinema, and Dean Rodgers who has a background in theatre and immersive games. Malcolm Heyworth, who was the original producer of the TV show is also on board.
You can find the IndieGogo page here. We're presume if it doesn't get fully funded there is an automatic lock-in.
