Building future production environments based solely on IT infrastructures and packet networks (Ethernet, IP) is a great opportunity for broadcasters to offer new ways to produce content.
EBU Technology & Innovation Workplan
Every two years, the EBU develops a roadmap for technology and innovation activities based on the requirements and inputs given by EBU Members. The result of this roadmap is our bi-annual EBU Technology & Innovation Workplan. Strategic programmes and project groups are set up to focus on specific areas of interest. To access the latest Workplan, click here.
EBU Project Group on Joint Task Force on Networked Media
The topic of Joint Task Force on Networked Media is part of the EBU's Strategic Programme on Future Networked Systems.
Main activities:
- Stimulates new business opportunities for broadcasters using IT-based technology.
- We do so by joining forces with the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) and the Video Services Forum (VSF) and the Advanced Media Workflow Association (AMWA) - added in phase 3 - to provide a joint effort to make it easier to build professional media infrastructures by promoting interoperability between IT-based media components, and helping the industry to develop a shared understanding about how to describe these systems.
- JT-NM Phase 3 was annouced in April 2016 to offer the industry a platform for coordinating the efforts in open intereoprability work.

The world has truly lost the plot when a court in Brussels asserts the unborn have a right to be aborted (http://www.zenit.org/en/articles/expendable-babies).
With jaw-dropping horror we read of the report of the decision just published in the Belgian journal, "Revue Générale des Assurances et Responsabilités," has just published the decision handed down by the Brussels Court of Appeal on 21 September 2010 regarding the case of a child born disabled after an erroneous prenatal diagnosis.
By the court ruling that the child's parents could claim damages from the doctors who failed to detect the disability, they claimed to be "having regard not only to the interests of the mother, but also to those of the unborn child itself." Thus, the judges considered that the child would have had the "right" to an abortion if his disability had been correctly diagnosed.
The report on the decision did not explain how the court could consider an unborn child to be able to be the 'subject of rights', and why that right was only one to be killed and not to live!
The pro-abortion lobby constantly try to make out they are fighting for 'rights', however the only 'right' they ever screech about is the right for a woman in a pregnant state to abort her baby. You never see them protesting for more efficient and user-friendly adoption rights, nor foster 'right', just death, death and more death through abortion.

Hi all,
Am starting to work on 2 seperate forces of Eldar, one dark one vanilla, and would like the 2 forces to be able to be combined as allies for bigger games. Both forces will focus on mobility with all troops in transports or being jump infantry. Eldar force will be themed around Jain Zar leading a small force and the dark eldar will be themed around the wych cults so lots of wyches in venoms supported by beastmasters and scourges.
Now here is the problem, I want both armys to have a common ground in he paint scheme. Recently watched a show called Ergo Proxy and really like the muted colour schemes with lots of neutral colours
Here are a few images i just dragged up from a google search to give you a idea of the style.
Now Eldar are easy enough to do in this scheme, im thinking using the brown/grey/green from the first image for the main areas on the Eldar and the black/blue/turquoise from the second image for the dark eldar. Do you think that The Orange from the 3rd pic would work as the tie in colour for both forces?
I never normally plan things out like this before i start but am trying to take a more structured approach to help me in my painting and keeping a shedule.
Any input and advice would be greatly appreciated.

A Meditation upon the Petroglyphs of Ausevik
21 July 2012
On the drive today inland from Florø toward the fjord country of Sogn and Fjordane, my sister and I detoured from the main road to see a group of petroglyphs at Ausevik. This was not at all far from Florø, and well worth the detour. There is a large, flat rock sloping down toward the fjord that is covered with a variety of carvings in the rock, some of them recognizably representative of familiar objects, and some of them not representative at all. I often marvel how the oldest art works of human beings are the most robust and likely to outlast the civilizations that superseded them. The petroglyphs, geoglyphs, and megaliths to be found around the world have been exposed to wind and weather for thousands of years longer than civilization has existed, and they remain today a vivid reminder of our prehistoric past. Similar considerations hold for the earliest monuments of human beings: the pyramids are likely to outlast anything that came, and is still to come, after them.
To mention other forms of robust ancient art like the petroglyphs at Ausevik reminds me of seeing the Nazca lines in January of this year — another perfect example of aesthetic simplicity and mystery likely to far outlast any subsequent constructions of civilization. The petroglyphs at Ausevik and the geoglyphs at Nazca remind me of each other for other reasons besides their robust character: the hypnotic patterns of lines is similar between the two, and the difficult of interpreting that which is not naturalistically representative poses the same dilemma in both cases, and in many other cases as well. Perhaps there is no better proof of ideas in the Kantian sense (as Husserl called them) than non-naturalistic, non-representative art. Such works of art have not correlate in nature; they spring from the mind of man, and are natural only to the degree that the mind is natural (and this is a matter of some disagreement).
It has been an invariant feature of the human mind since the advent of cogntive modernity that the mind is productive of non-naturalistic, non-representative ideas. This is a reminder to us of the conceptual sophistication of our prehistoric ancestors, and of their similarity to us. In other words, we are right to recognize ourselves in them, as they would be right to recognize themselves in us, their descendents. Of course, there are limits to this identification over time, but as I tried to show in my discussion of our intimacy with the past, it is partly a matter of perspective.
In thinking about these petroglyphs at Ausevik I realized that there is both a phylogenetic and an ontogenetic aspect to our intimacy with the past, i.e., there is also a personal version of the historical quest to understand the past. This is precisely what I was getting at in describing my pilgrimage to Kinn, where my fraternal grandmother came from. Personal pilgrimages to discover one's own origins are the ontogenetic correlate of phylogenetic inquiries into history that privilege the impersonal, the universal, the objective, and the abstract — that is to say, the traditional ideal of history as a rigorous intellectual discipline.
My visit to Kinn recontextualized my personal history in a greater expanse of time than that I had previously understood; the life of my fraternal grandmother, whom I never met, is real to me in a way that it was not previously real to me. I have been to her home and walked in her footsteps and to a limited extent seen the world from her point of view. This is the first step in recontextualizing one's past in ever greater expanses of history. The more we can expand our concepts to a generalization of our life that eventually coincides with the lives of our ancestors, the greater our intimacy with the past and the greater our understanding of the past. If we continue to extrapolate this process backward through history, the entire universe becomes implicated in our personal existence. In this way, we come to live the interconnectedness of all things. One's personal history becomes impersonal and ultimately indistinguishable from the history of the world entire.
I see this effort as a way toward formulating a philosophy of history that is as personal as conventional philosophies of history — be they Augustinian, Kantian, Hegelian, Marxist, positivist, or anything else — have striven toward being impersonal, objective, universal, and abstract. I am not suggesting that philosophy or historiography abandon the pursuit of these admirable intellectual ideas, but what I am suggesting is that a personal conception of the world need not be unrigorous. While it is true that most personal visions of life are parochial in the extreme, this is not necessarily true, and it strikes me as an equally admirable intellectual ideal to formulation a personal philosophy of history.
One obvious question that follows from this intellectual exercise, and the question that demonstrates the profound practicality of the philosophy of history, is whether this coincidence of personal and universal history extrapolated into the past also holds when extrapolated into the future. I can intuitively see how this might be the case, or how it might fail to be the case. It would be a further intellectual exercise to try to answer to this question in a rigorous and still personal way. Such an answer — if indeed such an answer is even possible — would point the way to a naturalistic eschatology that might be sufficiently vivid as to supplant the supernatural eschatologies that have fascinating human beings since the beginning of time (and which have probably constituted the greater part of the non-naturalistic, non-representative ideas that human beings have entertained).

Lorenzo Bartolomé Massa
Lorenzo Massa, c. 1910.
|Personal details
|11 November 1882
Morón Partido, Buenos Aires
|31 October 1949
Provincia de Buenos Aires
|Roman Catholic Church
|Catholic priest
|Salesians of Don Bosco
Lorenzo Bartolomé Massa (November 11, 1882 – October 31, 1949) was an Argentine Catholic priest, mostly notable for being one of the main founders of Club San Lorenzo de Almagro and scout group Don Bosco's Argentinian Explorers.
Early years[edit]
Lorenzo Bartolomé Massa was born in Morón, Buenos Aires, Argentina, and his parents Lorenzo Massa and his mother Margarita Scanavino were born in Turin, Italy. His sisters were Ángela and Blanca, and were also religious. On February 13, 1898, he was ordained to the priesthood by Joseph Vespignani. In 1900, Massa took his first job as a Salesian of Don Bosco Agricultural School in Uribelarrea until October 1902. Then Massa continued at the College Pius IX as a teacher and assistant in theology. In 1908 he was appointed as manager of the Oratorio San Antonio, in 4050 Mexico Street in the Almagro neighborhood of Buenos Aires.
Los Forzosos de Almagro (San Lorenzo)[edit]
During 1908, Massa met a group of boys from the neighborhood named Los Forzosos del Almagro led by a young man named Federico Monti. This name defines virtue of force in the game of football. Facing the drawbacks of playing in the street, the priest offered to let them play in the Oratory of San Antonio. This event would be the preliminary stage of the founding of Club Atlético San Lorenzo de Almagro.
Explorers of Don Bosco's Argentinians[edit]
On December 14, 1875, the first 10 Salesians came to Argentina. Since then, in every city settled, they created works and activities for youth. The Salesians in Argentina turned the whole society "donboscana way to the formation of youth", concretized through the Holidays oratories, which were characterized by joy, Christian upbringing instilled slowly through techniques such as the classic "Goodnight Salesian "and many others, combined with various means of attraction: small works of theater, craft workshops, walks with his classic bands to attract people to the Mass.
The work of the Salesians continued to grow in the formation of Oratorios. Between 1908 and 1914, the bands, the brackets and Battalions Gymnasts, recorded brilliant pages. In all this, the need to beat form a stable body. It was then that Father Joseph Vespignani (at the upper point of the Salesians), which had received reports of current that attracted young people to leave the Church, and had even reached Argentinian scoutist version (planned by Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell) wanted ahead of this emerging and influence. Excited about the idea of giving concrete form to something more stable, and recalling Blossio brackets created by Don Bosco at the beginning of his work, combined with the activities of existing brackets gymnasts, he called Father Lorenzo Massa. From that moment, the theoretical and organizational framework of Dom Bosco's Argentinian Scouts outlined. Besides participating in the creation, was the first Chaplain Battalion No. 1.
On Sunday February 28, 1915, the announcement of a hike and camp who performed the Scouts of Argentina came to Argentinian priest Lorenzo Massa. "Is it possible to join this noble institution with our charism?" Massa asked. He presented his draft form, with the children of this company, a Children Battalion, for walks and excursions, as had Don Bosco. On Sunday March 7, after Mass, the children invited were present to join the Children's Battalion. The name originally adopted Child Battalion was the Defenders of the Fatherland, according to the size of each split into nine companies of 30 children. Father Vespignani undertook personally to obtain the appropriate approval of the Superior Chapter of the Salesians of Don Bosco. Some time later, Father Joseph Vespignani called Father Lorenzo Massa, and said: Let's found Don Bosco's Argentinian Explorers.
On August 14, 1915, the solemn inauguration of the new school building "Saint Francis of Sales" (homage to Don Bosco on the centenary of his birth), located at the corner where the streets Hipólito Yrigoyen and Yapeyú was placed. The President was received at the entrance of the school by the principal of the house, Father Lorenzo Massa, who to greet said: "Today our house is proud to receive his visit, but we'd be more proud if the President of Argentina agreed to be escorted by our scouts, who today make his first official presentation. "Thus, for a few minutes the honor guard of the President's Office were not the traditional Regiment of Mounted Grenadiers, but was 40 by the first explorers who wore their new uniforms.
Everything became a reality on August 14, 1915 (for this reason, the day designated as Explorer), the celebration of the centenary of the birth of Don Bosco.
In founding the work, Father Jose said "Scouts will be a selection of festive Oratory, where the most prominent oratorians participate in the privileges and responsibilities inherent in Battalions" "We do not introduce anything new in the Salesians of Don Bosco;[1] explorers of Don Bosco Oratory will just be like leaven among others. "And stressed: "You shall preserve lifelong autonomy and self-regulation."
Explorers of Don Bosco have emerged in the name of God and country to preserve and advance the moral and religious values of youth, arousing noble sentiments of patriotism, twinned with family affection and respect for authority in a climate expansive joy and healthy companionship. Before the end of year 1, and the battalion had 165 explordores in uniform and perfect discipline, by whom was the first Captain and Chief of the General Command, Mr. Ramón Cortés Conde. That same year, Father Joseph Vespignani drafted by the Law of Scouts Honor of Don Bosco, published on March 12, 1930.
On the morning of October 31, 1949, Massa did not open the door of his room in Buenos Aires. A janitor entered and found Father Massa dead in his bed at sixty-six years old. It is believed that he died of cardiac arrest. On October 31, 2008, his remains were deposited in the mausoleum built in his honor located in the Oratorio San Antonio, in 4050 Mexico Street.
Massa arrived in Tucumán in 1916 where he founded the first Salesian work in the province, through an Arts and Crafts Workshop then called Salesian College General Belgrano. He actively participated in the foundation of other Salesian houses, one of which now bears his name: Lorenzo Massa Technical Institute.
The film El Cura Lorenzo in 1954 in which starred actor Ángel Magaña, freely recreates the story of Massa in the San Lorenzo de Almagro's foundation.

Sounds like a lovely idea.
Why not give it a go: Pop them in a glass jar with some twine wrapped around it. Happiness in a jar! Perfect!

Learning a second language is daunting to many adults, but take heart… there are ways you can shorten your learning curve and put yourself on track to foreign language fluency. Try these basic suggestions to help you achieve maximum recall with minimum effort.
Suggestion 1: Learn greetings, goodbyes, or "predictable" daily phrases. By memorizing these phrases you will have an arsenal at your disposal. It will take the stress off when you are interacting with individuals and gives you a sense of accomplishment.
Suggestion 2: Ever thought of using a label maker to help learn a new language? Train your brain by labeling all the things around you in another language. It's a fast and easy way to grow your vocabulary.
Suggestion 3: Focus on a single theme each week. Our mind naturally clusters connected words together so learning a topic is in tune with our brain's natural system. Week one, learn about Spring or all four seasons. Next week, follow-up with the weather.
Suggestion 4: Experts say that you can learn and retain 10 to 20 words per study hour. So an investment of 15 focused minutes of self-study per day will let you reach a weekly goal of 20-25 words and phrases, and a full 120-word baseline vocabulary in about is weeks.
Suggestion 5: Immerse yourself in the language you want to learn. As young children, we learned our native "tongue" by listening and parroting sounds. With the internet and technology, we have music, podcasts, TV shows and movies available in almost any language. Remember listening reinforces learned vocabulary and structures and helps us see patterns in language.
Suggestion 6: Reading, reading and reading! It helps you revisit learned vocabulary, and see those words in new sentences and contexts. Most newspapers can be found on the internet. There is another reason why reading through online newspapers is useful – it presents you with vocabulary in a variety of new contexts.
Suggestion 7: Yesterday's vocabulary is more important than today's, because you need to transfer yesterday's short-term knowledge into your long-term memory before you lose it. Recycle those words regularly and often, and you'll embed them in your memory. A good language textbook or online program will review and apply learned vocabulary over and over in later lessons.
Suggestion 8: Mnemonics are memory devices that help learners recall larger pieces of information, especially in the form of lists like characteristics, steps, stages, parts, phases, etc. That means you can help yourself, remember a word by identifying a term in your native language that starts in a similar way. Connect the two in a sentence to give yourself a quick shortcut that will help you with recall exercises.
Suggestion 9: Understanding prefixes and suffixes will immediately expand your vocabulary. The French word désagréable, for example, contains the negating prefix dés- and the adjective-forming suffix –able. Studying prefixes and suffixes can help you make educated guesses about the meanings of new words you encounter.

Great experience to work with Bonnie! We had an initial discussion for the type of the property we are looking for and she find the properties exactly matching our need. She is very professional, very approachable and always helpful in all stages of this journey. As a first time homebuyer, we felt very secure with Bonnie and trusted her all the way to the end. The transition was a lot smoother than expected. We will recommend her to all my friends and family.Mehmet
We had just come out of a deal with another realtor which left us a little uneasy, we stumbled upon Bonnie as we had opted to look at houses on our own and met her at a open house that she was helping someone show (indication of the type of person she is) we clicked, she was informative,understanding that due to being burned in the past we were cautious and she stuck with us every step of the way, she answered our questions (we had a lot) and never made us felt like we were a bother, or annoying her, she made enrolling our daughter in school in the new school district effortless, and she helped us find our dream home and for that we will always be grateful. She was a pleasure to work with and considered her more than an agent, we call her friend.Bill & Teresa
After meeting with Bonnie to discuss the details of selling our home, we knew she was the right realtor for our family. She is a first-class, knowledgeable professional who provided us marketing data and strategies, as well as personal attention that is unsurpassed. Bonnie responded to our phone calls and texts quickly and was personable and patient with our many questions. Her expertise speaks for itself – our house sold in 2 days for more than asking price. We recommend Bonnie to all who desire outstanding results, because that's exactly what she delivered!Joe & Stacy
It was an absolute pleasure to do business with Bonnie. She really went above and beyond for me. When I called her numerous times with multiple questions, she always displayed patience, professionalism, and always took the time to explain everything to make sure I understood it. I am so happy to have chosen her as my realtor in recently purchasing my new home. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who is looking for an agent who is honest, patient, knowledgeable, and that will go the extra mile to make sure that you are satisfied. Thanks Bonnie!!Jeanette & Hector
Bonnie is a very nice and responsible person! She helps me a lot, even though some is not her job, she told me and helps me! Thank you and very good experience!Shi Yi

We made it through yesterday – through the artificial insanity of my wife's birth control pills, the hurricane (or tornado, as it were) of tumultuous emotions that tore her up. We made it through, got strong and fierce and courageous, pulled her through the fire and flood (not without getting singed or water-logged) because of care and attention, intention and affection.
This brings me to something I read in Tao of Pooh. I have said here before that love is automatic. Love is the emotion you feel, it is directionless and pure energy. Caring is the action, the direction, the follow-through of love. Ironically enough, the thing that makes others feel loved, feel loved when they are alone, feel affected by love, is not love itself. The ironic thing about love is that directionless, it has the ability to make others feel unloved. Love itself, by itself, would be selfish. Love does not make the lover feel loved; love makes the lovee feel. On the other hand, caring – the action of love – that makes others feel loved. We found out yesterday, once again, that being courageous and fierce and loving and strong, that these traits related not to love, but to caring.
In line with this, according to Benjamin Hoff and Taoism, the source of courage and strength (of believing) lies in caring, which is the action of love:
"The two Fearless Rescues just mentioned [(of Roo from the river and Piglet who was Trapped by the Flood)] bring us to one of the most important terms of Taoism: Tz'u, which can be translated as 'caring' or 'compassion' and which is based upon the character for heart. In the sixty-seventh chapter of the Tao Te Ching, Lao-tse named it as his 'first treasure,' and then wrote, 'From caring comes courage.' We might add that from it also comes wisdom. It's rather significant, we think, that those who have no compassion have no wisdom. … We also consider it significant that cor, the Latin word for 'heart,' is the basis for the word courage. Piglet put it this way: 'She isn't Clever, Kanga isn't, but she would be so anxious about Roo that she would do a Good Thing to Do without thinking about it.' Tz'u … saved Roo, discovered the North Pole, and rescued Piglet" (128-129).
Strength and compassion, ferocity and fierceness, wisdom – these are built through caring, through Tz'u. When my wife and I talk about her recovery, we talk about love being natural and care being intentional. Care takes courage, awareness takes strength, but as it states above, "From caring comes courage" – what you put in – in terms of belief and strength and courage – will feed the recovery, will beget greater belief and strength and courage and feelings of love. This is not done through love itself, but through the actions of love, through Tz'u.
I feel the love of my mother-in-law not because she loves me, not because of some abstract emotion she has within her. I feel the love of my mother-in-law because she thinks of me when I'm not there, buying berries that cost much more than they should (probably because of the water they taste like! – but I'll never tell). Tasty or not, it is the caring in her action that makes me feel loved [AN ASIDE: (my metaphor continuing, of my wife and my Roo to her Kanga) my mother-in-law, through her Tz'u and because of her love, demonstrates time and time again her strength of character and that she is wise beyond experience]. Similarly, I feel the love of my grandparents because they sought to understand how they could support my veganism, even if they did not understand the love I have for it. The caring in their actions – Tz'u – is what makes me feel loved. Intentional Acts of Niceness make absolute strangers feel loved, and yet, there is no love for that stranger by the actee. However, the IAN will give them the strength to do a nice thing for the next person, even without love being behind the Tz'u. There is caring, which begets love and happiness, strength and wisdom in the lover and the lovee.
Going back to my wife's path of recovery, it is about intention and belief. Her path of recovery is reclaiming her healthy, her Tz'u. I have faith in her love, but I also believe in her Tz'u. I carry around a lollipop notepad from her. In it, there are messages of love. I have yet to open it, have yet to read a single one of these messages. And yet, I feel loved because of it. I feel loved not because of the words on the page, words that are finite and after being read once are never-to-be-read the same again. No, I feel loved because of the infinite care that the lollipop notepad represents.
In 1494, Leonardo da Vinci stated: "Oh ye seekers after perpetual motion, how many vain chimeras have you pursued? Go and take your place with the alchemists." Not so, because the source of alchemy is Tz'u. Even if I never read a single message from the lollipop notepad, it will always be an infinite source of strength and belief, of courage and ferocity, of matter-and-universe-defying love. This act of love – caring, compassion, Tz'u – always creates and therefore is perpetually in motion.

Last night, Liam met a few fans who weren't exactly the best of fans. They were quite rude, actually…
Which is why we, as well as many other 1D fans on Tumblr/Twitter have decided to join the 'Liam Defense Squad'. We love Liam and we will not stand for our cinnamon roll to be treated poorly.
Everyone should consider joining for many reasons but mainly two. We'll list them below.
1) Liam is amazing with fans.
2) Liam loves his boys.
He serenades Niall.
Dances with Harry.
Messes around with Louis.
It's just impossible not to love the Payno.
Join the Liam Defense Squad because you know the rest of One Direction is a part of the squad and so are we.

Astonishing pre-Cesidian (societal and political) science
Socialism, like the ancient [Aristotelian] ideas from which it springs, confuses the distinction between government and society. As a result of this, every time we object to a thing being done by government, the socialists conclude that we object to its being done at all. We disapprove of state education. Then the socialists say that we are opposed to any education. We object to a state religion. Then the socialists say that we want no religion at all. We object to a state-enforced equality. Then they say that we are against equality. And so on, and so on. It is as if the socialists were to accuse us of not wanting persons to eat because we do not want the state to raise grain.
When I read the quote above, I was stunned. It is absolutely brilliant, even though it is clearly pre-Cesidian (societal and political) science! Bastiat was right, because states are artificial — or forced, unnatural — societies, and (inherent) socialism, not societalism, is the formula that provides ever-increasing dominion of the state even in non-state (or societal/societalistic) affairs. More on that with the remarkable quotes below:
Everyone wants to live at the expense of the state. They forget that the state lives at the expense of everyone.

Los Angeles Limits New Fast Food Restaurants
Los Angeles Limits New Fast Food Restaurants
The Los Angeles City Council imposed a moratorium on new fast food franchises in south L.A., where healthy dining choices are slim and obesity among young children is a growing problem.
RENEE MONTAGNE, host:
And while sit-down chains like Bennigan's struggle to survive, fast food chains like McDonald's are faring well. But they won't be expanding in one area of L.A., at least for the next year. Yesterday, the Los Angeles City Council passed a one year moratorium on new fast food restaurants in a section of the city that already has plenty of fast food and a high child obesity rate. NPR's Karen Grigsby-Bates reports.
KAREN GRIGSBY-BATES: Crenshaw Boulevard is one of the major northwest streets in south L.A., and it's larded with fast food outlets, like the McDonald's on the corner of Crenshaw and 43rd.
Lamara Jones has stopped in with her young cousins for lunch. She says the moratorium is a good idea.
Ms. LAMARA JONES: When you walk down the street it's every McDonald's, every Burger King, Jack-in-the-Box, any fast food you can think of on like pretty much every corner. So I totally agree. It should stop for a year.
GRIGSBY-BATES: Backers of the moratorium say a break in the construction of fast food outlets might give healthier restaurants a chance to gain a foothold in South L.A. Lamara Jones says she's ready for a change.
Ms. JONES: Sushi, anything other than just burgers. I want to try different other foods.
GRIGSBY-BATES: But critics point out that a lot of people, like Gigi Williams, are pressed for time and rely on fast food to be, well, fast.
Ms. GIGI WILLIAMS: Go in, go out. I don't really have time to stop and sit anywhere for lunch.
GRIGSBY-BATES: The Restaurant Association, which opposes the moratorium, agrees. A consultant told the L.A. Times the new ordinance was akin to, quote, "saying we're not going to allow anyone to sell Chevrolets because we want people to buy nothing but Mercedes Benzes."
Last year, the Times studied the city's restaurants and discovered that the highest concentration of fast food is in South L.A. So is the city's highest percentage of obese adults and children. The city council says the moratorium isn't about banning fast food entirely but about giving city planners a year to figure out how to add other choices to the area's fast food-heavy menu.

Pierre Bonnard Artworks
French Painter and Printmaker
Movements and Styles: Post-Impressionism, Les Nabis, Symbolism
Born: October 3, 1867 - Fontenay-aux-Roses, France
Died: January 23, 1947 - Le Cannet, France
Artworks by Pierre Bonnard
The below artworks are the most important by Pierre Bonnard - that both overview the major creative periods, and highlight the greatest achievements by the artist.
France Champagne (1891)
Artwork description & Analysis: This lithograph launched Bonnard's career from law into art; in 1889, he won a competition to design a poster advertising France Champagne, which led him to create this illustration. A seemingly frivolous female looks over her shoulder, holding a fan in one hand and her magical glass of champagne in the other. There is a witty play on the oneness of the young girl with the bubbles of champagne. Champagne bubbles, expressed through an agitated line that alternates between thick and thin, create both a literal and symbolic feeling of froth. The bubbles engulf the woman and she becomes part of the total pattern. The "C" of the word "Champagne" relates visually to the arc of her arm such that compositional elements reinforce the gaiety of the woman and of champagne itself. The work is characterized by continuous, undulating outlines, flattened form, flat poster color, distorted perspective and proportion, purposeful distortion of perspective and proportion, and the elimination of detail and decoration. The influences of Japanese prints is visible here and, perhaps even more so, that of Jules Cheret's prints. France Champagne, which was to influence Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, is an early expression of the Art Nouveau aesthetic as well as an early use of the pretty girl to advertise a product.
Lithograph - Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris
Promenade des nourrices, fries des fiacres (Nannies Promenade, Frieze of Carriages) (1897)
Artwork description & Analysis: This four-paneled work is characterized by its understatement, economy of line, and rhythm. Bonnard places his figures asymmetrically and balances them against the empty space. The decorative use of silhouette is influenced by both the Art Nouveau style and of Japanese prints. Bonnard here employs a great economy of means - accomplishing many effects with only a few elements. An example of this would be the way the artist lets white function in multiple ways: it fills in the faces and it is worked into the figures' costumes. The animated linear arabesque of the dog functions in such a way as to suggest volume. Through the distortion of form for decorative effect, Bonnard has created a world of decorative unreality that asserts the two-dimensionality of the wall, thus uniting art and architecture.
Color lithograph - Musée d'Orsay, Paris
Woman Reclining on a Bed (1899)
Artwork description & Analysis: This painting is a good example of Bonnard embedding his figure within an intimate surrounding. The artist employs a corner point of view from which we are allowed to view the figure, whose face is concealed in shadow. The brushwork is similar to that of the Impressionists, but the artist has created more of an intimate, moody atmosphere - almost an erotic one - with the viewer as voyeur. Furthermore, this is not the monumental or idealized nude that one might recognize from a Titian or Rubens: this nude distinguishes itself from other nudes of the time in its natural pose and lack of inhibition. In fact, Bonnard is often credited with the introduction of this "modern" nude.
Oil on canvas - Musée d'Orsay, Paris
Dining Room in the Country (1913)
Artwork description & Analysis: Bonnard was fascinated with different levels of perspective and with the tricks of perspective. In this painting there are no real space-defining objects - the chair and the washstand blend into the wall. The composition is a "corner composition," moving diagonally across the table, treated as a vertical plane, through the doorway to the woman to the landscape. Then there is a cross-diagonal movement through the chair to the washstand. This spatial movement is largely dependent on color; color is the primary director of this painting. Our eye is carried from the indoors to the outdoors via the red color. The door is the same color as the landscape, the table, and the crockery. Bonnard also contrasts the warm orange-red colors of the interior and the cool whites of the outdoors - a contrast accompanied by a heightened quality of the light.
The Toilet (1932)
Artwork description & Analysis: Bonnard's bathroom and environs are known to have been very simple, plain, and functional. But in Bonnard's numerous bath scenes, spaces and objects have their own mystery and mood. Locked in her environment, the figure (Madame Bonnard) - the un-idealized, "modern" nude - is at one with her surroundings. It is an intimate scene in both subject matter, and the way the light caresses the objects, exposes their surfaces and highlighting the contours of the flesh. In contrast to his earlier fin-de-siècle work, the artist reanimates the space and gives depth to the scene, using tiles to shape it and modeling objects to make them appear more sensuous and tangible. As is usual in Bonnard's work, color creates the dominant effect, as the artist manipulates the oranges of the body and floor and the mauve of the wall and the legs to produce an aesthetically pleasing effect. Bonnard also uses luminous colors to produce a sensuous effect - a kind of nostalgic recollection of beauty and of the mystery of life. Since Bonnard is known to have worked largely from memory, this would be recollection at a distance, with objects taking on psychological qualities. Some of Bonnard's bath scenes even recall passages in Marcel Proust's Remembrance of Things Past (1913). Several influences present themselves here, beginning with that of the 17th-century Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer in the rectilinear division of the surface and in the mosaic of sumptuous color that celebrates the little pleasures of life. The influence of Renoir's colors, brushwork, and heavy coloristic atmosphere is likewise evident. In fact, the painting would almost seem an Impressionist capturing of sunlight, except that the colors are more arbitrary and the space more compartmentalized than that of the Impressionists. Bonnard very carefully selects those objects upon which he wishes the viewer to focus. Some objects are intentionally out of focus, and some are intentionally in focus. Sometimes the figures even take a back seat to the objects. Rather than attempting the spontaneity of Impressionism, here Bonnard paints a figure performing a kind of habitual action - a figure in frozen permanence brought to mind through the act of memory acted upon by feeling.
Oil on canvas - Private Collection
Landscape at Le Cannet (1945)
Artwork description & Analysis: Without the title, one might read this painting as being totally abstract, emphasizing as it does the flat surface of the painting rather than any depth of landscape. Its brushy shape areas are reminiscent of the work of Gauguin. Bonnard's treatment of this landscape in the south of France reminds us that shape does not have to be seen with an outline around it; shapes can be read as mere changes of color as we see here. Painted just two years before his death, this painting serves as an example of Bonnard's late work and follows the stylistic trajectory of increasing abstraction similar to that of late Monet and the Impressionists. Furthermore, it is fitting close to his earlier association with the group of Les Nabis. Bonnard took Maurice Denis's words further than any other member of this group: "A picture - before being a war horse, a female nude, or some anecdote - is essentially a flat surface covered with colors in a particular order."

SilverStone RL06-Pro ATX Case Review
ProsHuge airflow thanks to four 120mm fans, mesh front panel, and clean interior; great looks; low price
ConsFan hub offers no speed control; very limited cable management space behind motherboard
Star Rating
Here at The Tech Buyer's Guru, we really like reviewing cases. That's why we've reviewed more PC cases than any other tech product. This is despite the fact that they are incredibly time-consuming to review, because a proper writeup requires that you actually build a PC in them (which oddly, a lot of reviews on the Internet don't). And while big changes in other areas of PC technology get lots of press, the equally-important changes in case design often get overlooked, despite the fact that in the grand scheme of things, they might actually have a much greater impact on your user experience. This is doubly true if you intend to keep a case for a while, tweaking, refreshing, or completely rebuilding your PC over time, but sticking with the same chassis. That's why every year, we aim to review the best new cases at a variety of pricepoints in order to give our readers a "best of" list that keeps up with the times. These top-rated cases end up being the driving force behind our Do-it-Yourself PC Buyer's Guides, as they are the very first component readers will focus on as they select the right PC for their needs.
To keep up with all the latest designs, we spend a lot of time chatting with PC case vendors at trade shows each year (primarily CES and PAX West), which gives us a preview of all the "next big things" in PC cases long before they actually hit store shelves. And that's how we came to review the subject of this article, the SilverStone RL06-Pro. SilverStone had a number of new cases on display at CES 2017, and right off the bat, this case was the one we thought had the greatest market potential, and therefore the one we most wanted to review. We've seen what it takes to make a case a #1 best seller. Back in 2015, we picked up the NZXT S340 as soon as it was released and published one of the first S340 reviews on the web. We called it a winner, moreso for the forward-looking changes it brought to case design than for actual execution. And sure enough, today the S340 is the top-selling case in America in the coveted $50-$100 price bracket where most PC case buyers shop. Could the RL06-Pro unseat the S340 and thus become the next #1 best seller? Read on to find out!
We'd like to extend a special thank you to SilverStone for providing a review sample of the SilverStone RL06-Pro White Case.
Description and Features
SilverStone markets the RL06-Pro as a high-performance case at a budget price. To achieve this performance, SilverStone starts with the basics: a main compartment devoid of drive bays, a fully-meshed front and top panel, and four 120mm fans, three mounted up front. Due to the compact layout of the RL06-Pro, those front fans are surprisingly close to the components they're actually supposed to cool (i.e., the CPU and GPU), unlike in larger cases where front-mounted fans blow directly into closed drive bays, where the air is dissipated before it reaches gear that really needs the cooling. The case is 477mm tall and 455mm deep, quite tidy for an ATX case. Like many SilverStone cases, the RL06-Pro is also surprisingly narrow, at just 200mm wide. That gives it one of the smallest footprints of any ATX case, but also comes with its drawbacks, as we'll discuss on the next page.
The RL06-Pro features top-mounted data ports on par with more expensive cases: two USB 3.0 ports and two USB 2.0 ports. Note that these are all of the Type-A variety, and we anticipate it will be a while before we start seeing Type-C ports on many cases, let alone lower-cost cases. SilverStone tried that approach with its RL05 case, but users took issue with the reduced number of Type-A ports this entailed, as Type-C is almost impossible to find being used by any peripherals or accessories today. The RL06-Pro has a nice-looking power button with an LED bezel, but oddly leaves out a reset button. This has been a trend in case design for the last couple of years, and we're not sure how we feel about it. Yes, we understand that resetting a system can be done by a hard power-down in case of a crash, but it's still a nice option to have, and probably wouldn't add anything to the cost. The RL06-Pro does at least come equipped with a drive activity LED, along with headphone and microphone ports.
We'll highlight some of the RL06-Pro's other major features on the next page when we step through the assembly process, but first, let's go over the components we used to put the case to the test:
- CPU: Intel Core i7-7700K
- Motherboard: MSI Z270 Gaming Pro Carbon (thank you to MSI for providing this review sample)
- Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC 8GB
- SSD #1: Samsung 850 Evo 500GB M.2
- SSD #2: Crucial MX300 1TB 2.5"
- RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2x8GB DDR4-3000
- CPU Cooler: Arctic Freezer i32 (thank you to Arctic for providing this review sample)
- Power Supply: SilverStone Strider 850W Platinum (thank you to SilverStone for providing this review sample)
- Operating System: Windows 10 Flash Drive
This is in fact our brand-new mid/high-end benchmarking system, and we'll be publishing a step-by-step assembly guide using these same components soon. SilverStone got lucky here, because there were a number of cases we were eyeing for this role, including the fantastic Phanteks Enthoo Pro M (a cost-reduced, higher-airflow version of the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv that we reviewed and loved), the sleek CoolerMaster MasterCase Pro 5, as well as some great new cases from Thermaltake (one of which we'll likely be reviewing soon). We've also had discussions with Corsair about the cases they've announced over the past six months or so, but in reality, all of these cases (the Crystal 460X, the Crystal 570X, and the Air 740) have been delayed again and again, and in any event focus more on style than performance.
One thing that all of those cases have in common is that they cost more than the $70 RL06-Pro, which says something about the value proposition offered by the RL06-Pro. Yes, it's smaller than those cases, which limits component selection somewhat, but in terms of style, features, and performance, it's right on par with them. We're pretty confident you won't find another $70 case from any manufacturer than includes the RL06-Pro's 10-port fan hub, four fans (let alone LED fans), along with high-quality craftmanship. We've provided a closeup interior view of the front fans to better illustrate their layout. Two drive air directly into the main compartment, while the lower fan sends most of its airflow through the bottom-mounted drive bay and PSU area.
Note that the chassis allows you to use either triple 120mm fans or dual 140mm fans, but it does not allow for customizing the location of these fans. The pre-drilled screw holes set those positions for you, and dual 140mm fans would be stacked at the bottom of the case, an unfortunate setup for cooling purposes. The triple-120mm array defintely makes the most sense in this case in terms of both cooling and exterior aesthetics. The LED lighting shining through the entire front fascia just looks great!
To help keep the interior clean despite the massive amount of air that will be flowing through it, the RL06-Pro includes filters for all of its intakes. A large, easily-removable mesh screen guards the front-mounted triple fan array, using a huge number of fine holes, which we find to be the most-effective, least-restrictive type of filter. It's the same type of metal screen you'll find on windows, and there's a reason people use it in their homes - it keeps everything but the air out! The top vent (which can accommodate a 240mm radiator or dual 140mm fans) uses a very slick removable plastic filter held on by magnets. It's easy to pull off, yet stays in place perfectly. Our only concern is that the plastic crimps easily, so if you don't handle it gently, you might find it's picked up a permanent crease, as ours did. Note that with top-mounted filters, the goal is really just to keep objects from falling in without blocking too much airflow, as the optimal thermal layout will always be to use this area for exhaust, not intakes. The bottom power supply intake uses a smaller plastic mesh filter, identical to the top filter, but much smaller. Like the top filter, it's also removable (by sliding out), in case you don't want to use it. We'd prefer to see a fine metal-mesh screen here, like the one used for the front fans, as these really do trap dust better than plastic filters.
All right, now that we've covered the basic description and features of the RL06-Pro, let's get cracking on that build of ours to see how it works in practice!

Security Update
Tension arising out of the Djibouti Peace Process continues to dominate the security scene in most of Somalia.
South Zone
South Zone was generally quiet.
General Mohamed Hersi Morgan continues to train and re-equip his troops in the Wajid/Barre area.
Kismayo Special Zone
Kismayo remains tense in the aftermath of sharp fighting between the sub-clans of the Marehan in early April. "Technical" battlewagons from all sides are frequently observed in the city and its environs.
Central Zone
There has been no fighting on either the Qoreoley or Kurtunwarey fronts this week. Sharia militia continue to clear landmines in the Kurtunwarey area.
Merka Airport was opened to UN air traffic on 17 April, and security clearances for Merka City and immediate environs are being granted.
On 15 April, the "sharia" court militia in Merka arrested the newly appointed SNA governor of the Lower Shabelle Region, Ahmed Nur Mohamed Jimale. Jimale is the brother of the former SNA governor. He was released following demonstrations by SNA supporters in Merka. However tensions still run high on the political leadership in the region.
On 15 April, a CARE food convoy was attacked at a militia checkpoint on the Brave-Merka road. The checkpoint was allegedly manned by the Biymaal. One person was killed and one wounded in the exchange of fire. However, reports state that no food was looted, and the convoy continued to its destination.
A letter of apology from the sharia has been received by ZSO Central in Merkaregarding the arrest last week of WHO staff member Dr Jeylani.
On 17 April a militia firefight broke out in Jowhar in the vicinity of the CEFA, INTERSOS and UNICEF offices. The fight lasted for an hour. As a result, two UN international staff members were relocated on 18 April (one WHO and one UNICEF). Only UN national staff remain in the town. CEFA and INTERSOS international staff remain in the town, but both organisations have suspended operations for at least two days. Meanwhile, elders are meeting at the invitation of the Governor of the Middle Shabelle Region to discuss the issues surrounding the confrontation. Jowhar will remain closed to UN air and international staff ground travel until the situation has been evaluated.
On 14 April, at 13 00 hours, a UNDP leased vehicle in Mogadishu was fired upon and struck by militia of Mohamed Qanyare. The vehicle was on a mission to seek compensation for the entry of a UNDP guard dependant by the Qanyare militia. It was fired upon after unsuccessful negotiations. A non-staff member who was a passenger in the vehicle was slightly injured by shattered glass. On 19 April, the Qanyare group apologised to UNDP, and offered to pay for damages. The delegation from Djibouti visiting the city for the purposes of discussions on the peace process have departed.
The death threat against WFP national staff in Mogadishu remains in effect.
Car-jacking, street hold-ups, armed break-ins and killings continue in the city, but during this past week, at a lower level of intensity.
The seaport and airport remain closed.
Northeast Zone
Unconfirmed reports indicate that tension is high in Galcaiyo, allegedly due to differences over the Djibouti process, and that some INGOs are considering withdrawing from the city.
There are also reports that a Djiboutian delegation will visit Bossaso and Garowe in the near future.
Northwest Zone
The "Somaliland" administration rejection of entry visa applications of the Djibouti delegation to Hargeisa this week resulted in the ejection of the "Somaliland" representative to Djibouti by authorities there. Tension remains high in the region. (UNCT SOmalia Monitor 15-20 April 2000).
