Update: Perinatally Acquired HIV/AIDS -- United States, 1997
Perinatal transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) accounts for virtually all new HIV infections in children (1). Through 1993, an estimated 15,000 HIV-infected children were born to HIV-positive women in the United States (2). In 1994, clinical trials demonstrated a two-thirds reduction in the risk for perinatal transmission associated with treatment of HIV-infected pregnant women and their infants with zidovudine (ZDV) therapy (3). The Public Health Service (PHS) issued guidelines for the use of ZDV to reduce perinatal transmission in August 1994 and for universal HIV counseling and voluntary testing of pregnant women in July 1995 (3,4). This report describes increases in HIV testing and use of ZDV treatment among HIV-infected mothers and a continued substantial decline in the incidence of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) during 1992-1996 among children who were infected through perinatal HIV transmission (5). *
For states that conduct HIV surveillance, characteristics were examined for children born to HIV-infected mothers (i.e., perinatally exposed) during 1993-1996. Children were classified into one of four categories: those with AIDS, those with HIV infection but without AIDS, those who were uninfected, and those of indeterminate infection status. Timely ascertainment of HIV infection status of children born in 1995 for HIV reporting states versus AIDS-only reporting states was assessed in comparison to estimates of the number of births to HIV-infected women from the National HIV Serosurvey of Childbearing Women (SCBW) (2). Trends in perinatally acquired AIDS incidence were analyzed by quarter year of diagnosis from January 1984 through March 1997 and were adjusted for reporting delays with reclassification of cases initially reported with no identified risk (1). Evaluation of efforts to reduce perinatal transmission following issuance of the PHS guidelines was restricted to analysis of the estimated incidence of perinatally acquired AIDS among infants (aged less than 1 year) by year of birth. To control for changing birth rates, rates of perinatally acquired AIDS for infants per 100,000 births were calculated by using natality data from CDC's National Center for Health Statistics for births from 1992 through June 1995 (the latest birth cohort for which estimates are reliable). Perinatal HIV Surveillance
A total of 29 states conducted surveillance for HIV infection among children. These states reported 28% of the cumulative perinatally acquired AIDS cases through September 1997. In these states, perinatally exposed children are monitored to determine their HIV-infection and AIDS status, dates of maternal HIV tests, receipt of prenatal care, and maternal and neonatal use of ZDV and other antiretrovirals during pregnancy. Of children born to HIV-infected mothers from 1993 through 1996, these states reported 4325 children who had perinatally acquired AIDS (344) or HIV infection but without AIDS (487) or who were uninfected or indeterminate (3494). Since the PHS guidelines were issued in August 1994, 2027 (87%) HIV-infected mothers of children reported in these states had HIV infection diagnosed before or at the child's birth and 179 (8%) after the child's birth; the timing of HIV infection diagnosis was unknown for 121 (5%) (Figure_1). For children born from 1994 through 1996, the proportion of HIV-infected mothers who were prescribed prenatal ZDV increased from 24% to 64% (Figure_2). Compared with the expected number of children born to HIV-infected women estimated from the SCBW, as of September 1997, states with HIV surveillance ** identified a median of 64% of children born in 1995 compared with a median of 3% in states with AIDS reporting only. Characteristics of Perinatally Acquired AIDS Cases
As of September 30, 1997, perinatal transmission of HIV accounted for 7310 (1%) of the 626,334 total AIDS cases in adults and children reported to CDC by state and territorial health departments. Perinatally acquired cases have been reported from 48 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. Five states and/or territories accounted for 64% of all perinatally acquired AIDS cases: New York (27%); Florida (17%), New Jersey (9%), California (6%), and Puerto Rico (5%). The Northeast (44%) and the South (36%) accounted for most (80%) such cases; 85% of cases were diagnosed in metropolitan areas with a population of greater than 500,000 persons and 9% in metropolitan areas with populations of 50,000-500,000 persons.
Of the 7310 children with perinatally acquired AIDS, 4461 (61%) were non-Hispanic black, 1723 (24%) were Hispanic, 1057 (14%) were non-Hispanic white, and 54 (less than 1%) were either Asian/Pacific Islander or American Indian/Alaskan Native; 15 were of unknown race/ethnicity. The median age at diagnosis was 17 months, with 40% of cases diagnosed in children aged less than 1 year; 47%, in children aged 1-5 years; and 13%, in children aged greater than or equal to 6 years. Trends in Perinatally Acquired AIDS
From 1984 through 1992, the estimated number of children with perinatally acquired AIDS diagnosed each year increased, then declined 43% during 1992-1996 (Figure_3). From 1992 to 1996, declines were similar by race/ethnicity, regions of the United States, and in urban and rural areas (Table_1). Declines were largest among children for whom AIDS was diagnosed at younger ages (less than 5 years).
When the analysis was restricted to children diagnosed with perinatally acquired AIDS at age less than 1 year, for birth years 1992 through 1995, the estimated numbers of cases diagnosed in infants was highest among 1991-1992 birth cohorts, then declined 42% from the first half of the 1992 birth cohort (n=172) to the first half of the 1995 birth cohort (n=100). From the first half of the 1992 birth cohort to the first half of the 1995 birth cohort, the incidence declined 39%, from 8.4 per 100,000 births to 5.1.

Editorial Note
Editorial Note: This report documents the rapid implementation of recommended HIV counseling and voluntary testing practices and the increasing use of ZDV therapy by health-care providers and use of these services and care by HIV-infected mothers in the United States. The implementation of these recommendations has been temporally associated with a substantial and geographically widespread decline in perinatally acquired AIDS in the United States among all racial/ethnic groups and in both urban and rural areas, particularly since 1994, most likely reflecting the effectiveness of ZDV in reducing perinatal HIV transmission.
The findings from states that conduct HIV surveillance indicate that most HIV-infected mothers were tested for HIV before their child's birth and confirm the effectiveness of current PHS guidelines for routine HIV counseling and voluntary testing of pregnant women. Previous assessments also have demonstrated high acceptance levels following counseling by informed providers (4). Documentation of the increasing use of ZDV therapy among mothers following publication of PHS guidelines is consistent with other assessments noting the increased use of ZDV by pregnant HIV-infected women and their newborns that was associated with reduced rates of perinatal transmission (6).
Declines in perinatally acquired AIDS began before 1994, most likely reflecting increased use of ZDV to treat HIV-infected women (6). Other factors possibly contributing to the decline include decreases in the number of HIV-infected women giving birth and increases in use of prophylaxis for Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) and in antiretroviral treatment for HIV-infected children. However, from 1992 to 1994, the number of children born to HIV-infected mothers was relatively stable (i.e., 6000-7000 per year) (2). At the same time, incidence of PCP among infants did not decrease substantially (5). Because many new antiretroviral agents have not been approved for use in children, the recent declines in perinatally acquired AIDS probably do not yet reflect potent combination therapy with protease inhibitors (7).
Even though this report confirms the effectiveness of prevention efforts, the continued incidence of perinatally acquired AIDS among infants documents ongoing perinatal transmission and underscores the need for strategies to ensure that women receive adequate prenatal care, timely HIV counseling, and voluntary testing; gain access to HIV-related care and services; receive chemoprophylaxis to reduce perinatal transmission; and avoid breastfeeding. These findings especially emphasize the need to focus on increasing access to care and providing prevention services to minority populations, among whom rates of AIDS have been highest (i.e., non-Hispanic blacks and Hispanics) (1).
Through the Ryan White CARE Act, the U.S. Congress allocates resources for care and services for HIV-infected persons. This act requires that states evaluate their perinatal HIV-prevention efforts through the use of HIV-infection and AIDS surveillance. The most timely evaluation of prevention efforts in states with and without HIV surveillance is analysis of AIDS incidence among infants. States should evaluate trends in rates of perinatally acquired AIDS among infants per 100,000 births. Data on perinatal AIDS incidence can assist states in the identification of reasons for continued perinatal transmission, including missed opportunities for prevention or failures of recommended therapy (e.g., because of antiviral resistance or inadequate adherence).
CDC recommends that, as an extension of AIDS surveillance programs, all states and territories conduct surveillance for perinatal HIV exposure with follow-up to determine HIV-infection and AIDS status. Surveillance for HIV exposure and infection and AIDS would enable timely and complete monitoring of the effectiveness of perinatal prevention efforts (8); HIV incidence trends; identification of groups in which prevention strategies are less successful; evaluation of the impact of ZDV on perinatal HIV incidence; assessment of resources required to provide care for HIV-exposed children; the timeliness of receipt of HIV-related care; and potential short- or long-term adverse effects of in utero exposure to ZDV and other antiretroviral therapy. In addition, the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists has recommended that all states conduct surveillance for pediatric HIV/AIDS and perinatal exposure and, in 1995, declared pediatric HIV infection a nationally notifiable disease. The American Academy of Pediatrics also supports surveillance efforts to monitor perinatally exposed and infected children (9).
Substantial decreases in perinatal transmission of HIV have been documented in the United States and in some European countries (10); however, most HIV-infected children are born in developing countries. The Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) estimates that each year 350,000 children in developing countries are infected with HIV through perinatal transmission. The reduction of perinatal transmission of HIV in the United States underscores the need to identify and evaluate safe, effective regimens that are logistically and economically feasible in developing countries.

I remember during my youth I was pretty "spiritual" and believed in an after life, a higher power, etc. I didn't affiliate myself with any particular religion. I would take a cursory interest in the main ones, but always being an independent (some would say stubborn) thinker I reveled in figuring things out for myself. Why my starting position was that of a spiritual nature I'm not wholly sure of. I wasn't raised in a religious home or had anyone close to me during my impressionable youth that was overly religious. Maybe it was simply the general consensus in the environment I grew up in – anyway.
I think that because I was, and still am, such an independent thinker that eventually this brought me to my atheism and current worldview, of which my atheism is a big part. Probably somewhere between my late teens and early twenties It dawned on me that I held a position, or worldview if you like, that I had never investigated like I did with any other claim thrown my way. Dawned makes it seem like it happened instantly, which of course it didn't. Before this realization I had always held religion in disdain. I think the realization of that, in connection with my own "spiritual" position, really gave me the epiphany. I realized (again not instantly) that perhaps the basic underpinnings of all religion is similar to my lukewarm spiritualism – there HAS to be a higher power, I have a destiny written in the cosmos, some thing gives a shit about me, etc.
Through a not-too-long process I came to realize that my position had absolutely no legs to stand on. Hell, even if it had legs, it lacked any ground to stand on anyway. In a nutshell, you could say that I am an atheist because I tend to care about my convictions, and I long to know the truth, or as close to the truth as I can get.
My life as an atheist
I can admit that atheism is not the most sunny disposition in contrast to what religion can offer in regards to death – arguments against the ridiculousness and illogical notions of being immortal and in bliss aside – but not as much as religious people might have you think. Instead of seeking help from a big daddy in the sky in times of being distraught, depressed, etc. , I reach out to my fellow man (friends, family, professional help, etc.). If this life is all we have, and I am quite convinced of this, I will not waste my time reaching out to something that doesn't answer at all, and offers nothing more than what simple introspection can achieve. No, I will reach out to something tangible, my fellow human beings, and I hope that those who surround me will do the same when they need help. I'm here, I'm real, and I may be able to help.
Accepting reality as I do, as an atheist, I find that I hit life's little speed bumps no harder than any person who has found religion. I just do it with all of my doubts and fears laid bare. I find it analogous to accepting an apology for an atrocious act. Once you accept it you can move on, much like once you accept that there is no God, you can shed the shackles and face what you may fear the most, conquer it, and be liberated.

I often find that mental illness and queerness aren't addressed properly or constructively when talked about together. So often the public at large would have us believe that queerness is a result of mental illness or that mental illness is the result of queerness exclusively. With this in mind, the queer community will often push back on society's behavior by talking about the two exclusively from each other, frequently ignoring all the ways mental illness intersect. That's does not go to say that queerness is the result of mental illness or vice versa at all, but rather it shouldn't be ignored that many people in the queer community go through both because of the way society has constructed and reacted towards queerness. For example, queerness has often been perceived as a deviant thing, it has historically been punished and worked against in a variety of ways. (more…)

Starting with internationalization¶
You have a project and want to to translate it into several languages? This guide will help you to do so. We will showcase several typical situations, but most of the examples are generic and can be applied to other scenarios as well.
Before translating any software, you should realize that languages around the world are really different and you should not make any assumption based on your experience. For most of languages it will look weird if you try to concatenate a sentence out of translated segments. You also should properly handle plural forms because many languages have complex rules for that and the internationalization framework you end up using should support this.
Last but not least, sometimes it might be necessary to add some context to the
translated string. Imagine a translator would get string
Sun to translate.
Without context most people would translate that as our closest star, but it
might be actually used as an abbreviation for Sunday.
Choosing internationalization framework¶
Choose whatever is standard on your platform, try to avoid reinventing the wheel by creating your own framework to handle localizations. Weblate supports most of the widely used frameworks, see Supported file formats for more information (especially Translation types capabilities).
Our personal recommendation for some plaforms is in the following table. This is based on our experience, but that can not cover all use cases, so always consider your environment when doing the choice.
|Recommended format
|Android string resources
|Apple iOS strings
|Qt Linguist .ts
|GNU gettext
|GNU gettext [1]
|GNU gettext
|.XML resource files
|GNU gettext
|Ruby YAML files
|Web extensions
|WebExtension JSON
|JSON i18next files [3]
|The native Gettext support in PHP is buggy and often missing on Windows builds, it is recommended to use third party library motranslator instead.
|You can also use Java properties if plurals are not needed.
|You can also use plain JSON files if plurals are not needed.
Following chapters describe two use cases - GNU Gettext and Sphinx, but many of the steps are quite generic and apply to the other frameworks as well.
Translating software using GNU Gettext¶
GNU Gettext is one of the most widely used tool for internationalization of free software. It provides a simple yet flexible way to localize the software. It has great support for plurals, it can add further context to the translated string and there are quite a lot of tools built around it. Of course it has great support in Weblate (see GNU gettext file format description).
If you are about to use it in proprietary software, please consult licensing first, it might not be suitable for you.
GNU Gettext can be used from a variety of languages (C, Python, PHP, Ruby, JavaScript and many more) and usually the UI frameworks already come with some support for it. The standard usage is through the gettext() function call, which is often aliased to _() to make the code simpler and easier to read.
Additionally it provides pgettext() call to provide additional context to translators and ngettext() which can handle plural types as defined for target language.
As a widely spread tool, it has many wrappers which make its usage really simple, instead of manual invoking of Gettext described below, you might want to try one of them, for example intltool.
Sample program¶
The simple program in C using Gettext might look like following:
#include <libintl.h>
#include <locale.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(void)
int count = 1;
setlocale(LC_ALL, "");
bindtextdomain("hello", "/usr/share/locale");
"Orangutan has %d banana.\n",
"Orangutan has %d bananas.\n",
printf("%s\n", gettext("Thank you for using Weblate."));
Extracting translatable strings¶
Once you have code using the gettext calls, you can use xgettext to extract messages from it and store them into a .pot:
$ xgettext main.c -o po/hello.pot
There are alternative programs to extract strings from the code, for example pybabel.
This creates a template file, which you can use for starting new translations (using msginit) or updating existing ones after code change (you would use msgmerge for that). The resulting file is simply a structured text file:
# Copyright (C) YEAR THE PACKAGE'S COPYRIGHT HOLDER
# This file is distributed under the same license as the PACKAGE package.
#, fuzzy
msgid ""
msgstr ""
"Project-Id-Version: PACKAGE VERSION\n"
"Report-Msgid-Bugs-To: \n"
"POT-Creation-Date: 2015-10-23 11:02+0200\n"
"PO-Revision-Date: YEAR-MO-DA HO:MI+ZONE\n"
"Last-Translator: FULL NAME <EMAIL@ADDRESS>\n"
"Language-Team: LANGUAGE <email@example.com>\n"
"Language: \n"
"MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=CHARSET\n"
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"
"Plural-Forms: nplurals=INTEGER; plural=EXPRESSION;\n"
#: main.c:14
#, c-format
msgid "Orangutan has %d banana.\n"
msgid_plural "Orangutan has %d bananas.\n"
msgstr[0] ""
msgstr[1] ""
#: main.c:20
msgid "Thank you for using Weblate."
msgstr ""
msgid line defines a string to translate, the special empty string
in the beginning is the file header containing metadata about the translation.
Starting new translation¶
With the template in place, we can start our first translation:
$ msginit -i po/hello.pot -l cs --no-translator -o po/cs.po
Created cs.po.
The just created
cs.po already has some information filled in. Most
importantly it got the proper plural forms definition for chosen language and you
can see number of plurals have changed according to that:
# Czech translations for PACKAGE package.
# Copyright (C) 2015 THE PACKAGE'S COPYRIGHT HOLDER
# This file is distributed under the same license as the PACKAGE package.
# Automatically generated, 2015.
msgid ""
msgstr ""
"Project-Id-Version: PACKAGE VERSION\n"
"Report-Msgid-Bugs-To: \n"
"POT-Creation-Date: 2015-10-23 11:02+0200\n"
"PO-Revision-Date: 2015-10-23 11:02+0200\n"
"Last-Translator: Automatically generated\n"
"Language-Team: none\n"
"Language: cs\n"
"MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ASCII\n"
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"
"Plural-Forms: nplurals=3; plural=(n==1) ? 0 : (n>=2 && n<=4) ? 1 : 2;\n"
#: main.c:14
#, c-format
msgid "Orangutan has %d banana.\n"
msgid_plural "Orangutan has %d bananas.\n"
msgstr[0] ""
msgstr[1] ""
msgstr[2] ""
#: main.c:20
msgid "Thank you for using Weblate."
msgstr ""
This file is compiled into an optimized binary form, the .mo file used by the GNU Gettext functions at runtime.
Updating strings¶
Once you add more strings or change some strings in your program, you execute again xgettext which regenerates the template file:
$ xgettext main.c -o po/hello.pot
Then you can update individual translation files to match newly created templates (this includes reordering the strings to match new template):
$ msgmerge --previous --update po/cs.po po/hello.pot
Importing to Weblate¶
To import such translation into Weblate, all you need to define are the following fields when creating component (see Component configuration for detailed description of the fields):
|Source code repository
|URL of the VCS repository with your project
|File mask
|Template for new translations
|File format
|Choose Gettext PO file
|New language
|Choose Create new language file
And that's it, you're now ready to start translating your software!

You can find a Gettext example with many languages in the Weblate Hello project on GitHub: <https://github.com/WeblateOrg/hello>.
Translating documentation using Sphinx¶
Sphinx is a tool for creating beautiful documentation. It uses simple reStructuredText syntax and can generate output in many formats. If you're looking for an example, this documentation is also built using it. The very useful companion for using Sphinx is the Read the Docs service, which will build and publish your documentation for free.
I will not focus on writing documentation itself, if you need guidance with
that, just follow instructions on the Sphinx website. Once you have
documentation ready, translating it is quite easy as Sphinx comes with support
for this and it is quite nicely covered in their Internationalization. It's
matter of few configuration directives and invoking of the
If you are using Read the Docs service, you can start building translated documentation on the Read the Docs. Their Localization of Documentation covers pretty much everything you need - creating another project, set its language and link it from master project as a translation.
Now all you need is translating the documentation content. As Sphinx splits
the translation files per source file, you might end up with dozen of files,
which might be challenging to import using the Weblate's web interface. For
that reason, there is the
import_project management command.
Depending on exact setup, importing of the translation might look like:
$ weblate import_project --name-template 'Documentation: %s' \
--file-format po \
project https://github.com/project/docs.git master \
If you have more complex document structure, importing different folders is not directly supported; you currently have to list them separately:
$ weblate import_project --name-template 'Directory 1: %s' \
--file-format po \
project https://github.com/project/docs.git master \
$ weblate import_project --name-template 'Directory 2: %s' \
--file-format po \
project https://github.com/project/docs.git master \

The Odorik python module documentation is built using Sphinx, Read the Docs and translated using Weblate.
Integrating with Weblate¶
Getting translations updates from Weblate¶
To fetch updated strings from Weblate you can simply fetch the underlying repository (either from filesystem or it can be made available through Git exporter). Prior to this, you might want to commit any pending changes (see Lazy commits). This can be achieved in the user interface (in the Repository maintenance) or from command line using Weblate Client.
This can be automated if you grant Weblate push access to your repository and configure Push URL in the Component configuration.
See also
Pushing string changes to Weblate¶
To push newly updated strings to Weblate, just let it pull from the upstream repository. This can be achieved in the user interface (in the Repository maintenance) or from command line using Weblate Client.
This can be automated by installing a webhook on your repository to trigger Weblate whenever there is a new commit, see Updating repositories for more details.

True story: in 2003, I very nearly failed a whole bunch of university courses, which in Australia is a very difficult thing to do. It wasn't because I was drinking too much, or partying too hard.
It was because of Animal Crossing.
The GameCube original destroyed me. Housemates would come back from a day's hard work to find me on the couch, still in my pyjamas, muttering something about fish, and bells, and the inherent inequality of the town's home ownership laws. Then they'd see what I was playing, shake their heads and leave me alone.

No charges in Minden post office fracas
Charges have been dropped against Lowell Archer III, 31, in connection with a June 7 fracas with a political group at the Minden Post Office.
Archer said Wednesday that the Douglas County District Attorney's Office won't be pursuing the case against him.
"I think they saw through it," Archer said of the confrontation with members of Lyndon LaRouche's political action committee, which was set up at the post office.
Archer called the sheriff's office that day after talking to the Minden Postmaster who said committee members were encroaching on post office property.
He said while he was waiting for deputies to arrive, he tried to talk to one of the people and then took one of the pamphlets, that he said appeared to be for the public.
A confrontation ensued and the committee members claimed that Archer grabbed one of them by the arm. Archer denied this, saying he was actually slapped on the hand by a committee member.
There was no report that anyone was injured in the incident.
The Impeach Obama petition booth had been at the post office on several occasions prior to the incident.
Archer was taken into custody after Van Der Schaaf's wife conducted a private party arrest for battery.
The group was distributing a petition to impeach the president over bombing in Libya in support of the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi and the approval of the Health Care for America Plan, typically referred to as Obamacare.
Archer thanked his friends and family for all their support.
"I'm overwhelmed by the support from the community," Archer said. "The support from my friends and family really helped."
"It was a really dark time," his mother, Felicia said of the days following Wayne's arrest. "And people made it better."

UPDATE: Bullied Bus Monitor Responds To Public Outcry [VIDEO]
Karen Klein, a 68-year-old bus monitor in Greece, N.Y., was brought to tears because of constant verbal harrassment from middle-school children on the bus she monitors daily. What is our world coming to?
This video infuriated me because no-one deserves to be talked to that way, especially from children! Now, Ms. Klein has given an interview in regards to the public's outreach.
Here's the video that started it all! Warning: This video contains graphic language and is NSFW
And here is Karen's response:
Apparently, the video has now gone viral after a concerned person took the initiative to send this woman on an incredible vacation via fundraiser!
The fundraiser has raised more than $160,000 dollars thus far to send Karen on a much-needed and deserved vacation from these kids.
Clearly, this behavior is disgusting and down-right unacceptable! What do you think should be the course of action in regard to discipline with the kids?

http://www.dallasobserver.com/news/eigh ... ng-9862994A bloodbath erupted at a Dallas Cowboys watch party Sunday night in Plano when a gunman shot and killed seven people and wounded two others before police killed him. It was the largest murder scene Plano police have ever seen, according to the department.
Dude had a fight with his ex-wife and decided to shoot her and all (their) friends.
Question: Do you believe in guns? Do you protect the 2nd amendment? Do you want gun control or the freedom?

Picture: Mark Foster of band Foster The People 102.7 KIIS FM's Wango Tango at The Home Depot Center - Show Carson, California - 12.05.12
Foster The People frontman Mark Foster is climbing to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro to raise money for charity.
The Pumped Up Kicks hitmaker is among a group of celebrities and activists scaling the peak in Tanzania to highlight the global clean water crisis.
Breaking Bad actor Aaron Paul has taken to Twitter.com to support the rocker, writing, "My friend Mark from Foster The People is on his way to climb Kilimanjaro for a clean water charity. Please send him your love and support."
Philanthropic singer Kenna, who organised the Summit On The Summit: Kilimanjaro hike, says, "My friends are remarkable people to do a crazy thing like climb Kilimanjaro, but they know that it's crazy that there are a billion people who still lack access to safe drinking water. It's been over 60 years since my father suffered with waterborne disease in my home country of Ethiopia. He survived, but many did not, and many do not today. Summit On The Summit is bringing this issue to the forefront and broadcasting that message from one of the largest peaks in the world."
Hollywood stars Jessica Biel and Emile Hirsch and rapper Lupe Fiasco have previously made the trek up Kilimanjaro for the cause.

Kelly Ripa introduced Michael Strahan as her new co-host this morning.
When he joined her on the show, rechristened "Live! with Kelly & Michael," Strahan called the gig "a dream come true."
Ripa welcomed her new partner on the air just after the show began at 9 a.m. EDT, saying he would help usher in "a new era of our show" after a long search for a new cohost.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
"Stop sending me your résumés to my home address," she joked to her viewers.
Strahan, 40, is a former NFL star and currently a host of "Fox NFL Sunday." Back in 2008, as a guest on the show, he had joked to Ripa's then-cohost Regis Philbin that he might one day take his place hosting the show.
Although producers had not commented on who would fill the void left by Regis Philbin when he retired last November, Strahan had been in negotiations and was expected to take on the role.
The syndicated weekday talk show had left Ripa without a permanent co-host since Philbin departed the show. Since then, she has welcomed 59 guest co-hosts, several of whom, including Strahan, were under consideration for the permanent job. Strahan has made several guest appearances this year.
Philbin, the original "Live!" host, exited at age 80 after presiding more than 28 years alongside several co-hosts. Ripa became his on-air partner in 2001.

Obama to award Medals of Honor to overlooked veterans
- The Army reviewed the records of about 600 veterans between 1941 and 2001
- Three Vietnam veterans will receive the awards at the White House next month
- The remaining veterans will receive the medal posthumously
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Army will award 24 Medals of Honor, the nation's highest award for bravery, following a review of military records of Jewish and Hispanic veterans who served in World War II, Korea and Vietnam.
The review determined the soldiers should have been awarded the Medal of Honor based on their actions, but were given a lesser award.
In 2002 the services were ordered by Congress to review the records of Jewish and Hispanic veterans of the three wars, reflecting concerns that they may have been the victims of discrimination.
The Army reviewed about 600 records of veterans between 1941 and 2001 who were awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, the second-highest award for valor, and were believed to be Jewish or Hispanic.
The 600 records were chosen based on whether the veterans identified themselves as Jewish or Hispanic on their records or other indicators suggested that.
The Army determined later that a handful of the 24 were neither Jewish or Hispanic but should have been awarded the higher medal.
Three of the veterans will be awarded the Medal of Honor by President Obama in a White House ceremony on March 18. The remainder will be awarded the medal posthumously.
The Army said there was no way to determine in hindsight whether the men were discriminated against. "We're not able to answer that question," said Tatjana Christian, an Army spokeswoman.
However, the Army was racially segregated during World War II and discrimination was common.
The Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force also launched a similar investigation but turned up no cases where they concluded an upgrade was warranted.
The Air Force reviewed 186 files and the Department of the Navy, which includes the Marine Corps, reviewed 89 records, the Pentagon said.
A list of those receiving the award.

This concise version of the acclaimed Oxford Companion to the Theatre covers all aspects of theatre worldwide and throughout the ages. It contains entries on a vast range of theatrical styles, dramatists, performers, and directors, as well as information on theatres, festivals, and such technical topics as lighting, sound, and method acting. Entries on people and places include Athol Fugard, Anthony Hopkins, Glenda Jackson, Derek Jacobi, Harvey Fierstein, Helen Mirren, Trevor Nunn, Peter O'Toole, Willy Russell, and Stephen Sondheim, Barbican Theatre, The English Shakespeare Company, Michael Gambon, The Swan at Stratford, and the Shubert theatre in New York.
The Oxford Dictionary of Dance (2 ed.) Quick reference
'A must-have volume' The Times
The second edition of this dictionary is a unique single volume reference on all aspects of dance performance. The work covers all aspects of the diverse dance world from classical ballet to modern, from flamenco to hip-hop, from tap to South Asian dance forms and includes detailed entries on technical terms, steps, styles, works, and countries, in addition to many biographies of dancers, choreographers, and companies.
Fans today are likely to attend performances as varied as Indian bharata natyam, Japanese butoh, and post-modern dance. With an emphasis on performance—the dance we see in our theatres today—readers will find both fact and analysis on a wide range of subjects.
With 150 new entries, this new edition charts developments that have occurred over the last ten years, including the rise of new digital technology in the creation and staging of dance and the move to the mainstream of formerly fringe genres such as hip-hop, as well as the arrival of a new generation of dancers and choreographers to the scene.
Dictionary Plus Performing Arts Quick reference
This dictionary comprises authoritative, highly accessible entries on styles, dramatists, performers, companies, and organizations related to the performing arts. These entries are supplementary to other performing arts titles in the Quick Reference collection, and are written by specialist authors. The dictionary is an ongoing project, and more entries will be added over time.
The Grove Book of Operas (2 ed.) Quick reference
"The Grove Book of Operas, Second Edition, should be on every opera-lover's short list of indispensable reference books. Highly recommended. " - Gary Hoffman, Opera Today. First published in 1996 to great critical and popular acclaim, the Grove Book of Operas, is a collection of synopses and descriptions of over 250 operas. Each succinct yet insightful entry is written by a leading authority on the opera and includes a full synopsis of the plot, a cast list, a note on the singers in the original production, and information on the origins of the work and its literary and social background. Contributions conclude with a brief comment on the particular work's place in operatic history. The second edition brings the book up to date with several recently composed operas. Recent additions to the operatic repertory included for the first time in this edition include Nicholas Maw, Sophie's Choice; Poul Ruders, A Handmaid's Tale; John Adams, Death of Klinghoffer; and Mark Adamo, Little Women. Covering all operas in the current repertory along with some less-well-known early and very modern ones, this is an ideal volume for the general opera lover.

Recommended opera-related web links are listed for relevant and up-to-date extra information. This book is an invaluable source of reference for professionals and amateurs alike, and a fascinating read for anyone curious about opera, for example, who did marry Figaro?
The Grove Book of Opera Singers (2 ed.) Reference library
Covering over 1500 singers from the birth of opera to the present day, this marvellous volume will be an essential resource for all serious opera lovers and an indispensable companion to the enormously successful Grove Book of Operas (also in Oxford Reference Online: Premium Collection).
The most comprehensive guide to opera singers ever produced, this volume offers an alphabetically arranged collection of authoritative biographies that range from Marion Anderson (the first African American to perform at the Met) to Benedict Zak (the classical tenor and close friend and colleague of Mozart). Readers will find fascinating articles on such opera stars as Maria Callas and Enrico Caruso, Ezio Pinza and Fyodor Chaliapin, Lotte Lehmann and Jenny Lind, Lily Pons and Luciano Pavarotti. The profiles offer basic information such as birth date, vocal style, first debut, most memorable roles, and much more. But these articles often go well beyond basic biographical information to offer colourful portraits of the singer's personality and vocal style, plus astute evaluations of their place in operatic history and many other intriguing observations. Many entries also include suggestions for further reading, so that anyone interested in a particular performer can explore their life and career in more depth. The articles are mostly drawn from the acclaimed Grove Music Online and have been fully revised, and the book is further supplemented by more than 40 specially commissioned articles on contemporary singers.
A superb new guide from the first name in opera reference, The Grove Book of Opera Singers is a lively and authoritative work. It is an essential volume for opera lovers everywhere.

New entries include recent plays such as Angels in America and Six Degrees of Separation, performers such as Eric Bogosian and Bill Irwin, playwrights like David Henry Hwang and Wendy Wasserstein, and relevant developments and issues including AIDS in American theatre, theatrical producing by Disney, and the rise in solo performance.

Hi, although by now I know enough about making methods and constructors, they're definition...I don't know why I have problem with this exercise of my teacher...now I don't want anyone to write the code, I'm just asking for some advice to find out what I'm doing wrong
here's the problem:
Make a class Rational to provide at least following methods and constructors:
Rational b1= new Rational (2,7);
Rational b2= new Rational (3,6);
Rational b3=b1.add(b2);
now, so far I made a class named Rational, with a constructor that takes two arguments, for numerator and denominator...but a constructor can't return anything, while in the example above(provided by the teacher), by calling the constructor, we made a Rational object with value 2/7!
how is that possible? cuz when I printout b1 or b2, it doesn't give me the value 2/7 or 3/6, rather something like Rational@5c09036e
I know I can make a method that makes rational number, but according to this example, we have to make that object by calling the constructor!
I hope someone figures out where I'm making mistake lol, I'm not sure if the things I'm saying even make sense! or maybe I have not understood the problem correctly, in any ways, any help would be appreciated....

A visit to Katy McFadden's studio and garden overlooking Tryon Creek State Park seems like dropping into a forest dreamworld. McFadden makes prints and ceramic sculpture: her interaction with the natural world yields figures in the garden that seem more to have come there of their own will because they found it home rather than placed there by a human with a plan. The figures are sometimes animated with the spirit of another sentient being- a fox, a bird or the creatures of the sea, and standing in groups as friends or fellow travelers.
McFadden spent her childhood playing in the ebb and flow of the tides on the coast of New Jersey. The sense of motion between spaces has deeply influenced her work over the decades that she has been making, teaching, and travelling. Boundaries between sea and land are spaces of constant change, as are the perceived boundaries between animal, plant and human. Her sense of human connection is of a similarly porosity. She says, of travel: "I love to travel because I see the commonality between people as opposed to a difference- the core is the same- we want to be accepted, be loved, have family around us. The things that make us different are just social constructs…. [People can see the] movement in a piece [of art], and can respond to it without an understanding of who your are or where you come from."
As a fellow clayworker, the author is well aware of the labor involved in creating on the human scale at which McFadden works. I am amazed that such a beautiful and strong but small woman manages to make these figures. Most of them are fired at her studio in a large kiln that runs on natural gas. But she sometimes opts to fire them in a wood-firing kiln, an extremely labor-intensive process. I asked her how she does it, and her work ethic in general. She explains that sometimes she just goes into the studio and rolls out slabs. Then she's put herself into a situation that's made it more fertile to create, and the muse comes. About her work ethic, she replies in jest, "I don't know what else to do with myself", a re-iteration of an earlier comment that "art transcends the particular, and there is nothing else worth doing".
Teaching she calls "the left hand", the one that passes the nourishment of process and understanding to the next generation. Process is revealed as a "point on a line of non-ownership", echoing her artist statement: "we are voices for a short period of time". Her classes are explorations of the language of clay process, with the objective that students can translate an understanding of process to any other material. She taught in Cape Cod for years. Now she teaches at Clackamas Community College.
Katy McFadden's studio is number two on the map. She participated in Portland Open Studios years ago and then took a break. We're excited that she has decided to open her studio again this year. You can see more of her work at katymcfadden.com.

Pravda Questions American Media Silence.
Pravda asks: What happened to American media?
Accuses U.S. press of 'deliberately hiding evidence' of Obama's 'fraud'
by Chelsea Schilling, -a commentary editor and staff writer for WND, an editor of Jerome Corsi's Red Alert, and a proud homeschooling mother of two. Schilling joined the Army at age 17, receiving the rare designation of expert marksman three times. In addition to WND, Schilling has worked as a news producer at USA Radio Network
It's a twist of irony: The Russian news website Pravda has published an accusation that the American media is "tame," afraid to publish news and is "deliberately hiding the evidence published on the internet about [President Obama's] defrauding of the American public and the deliberate evisceration of the Constitution of the United States."
In a March 7 Pravda column, "Arizona sheriff finds Obama presidential qualifications forged," Dianna Cotter, a senior at American Military University, blasts America's mainstream media for their virtual silence about Maricopa County, Ariz., Sheriff Joe Arpaio's six-month investigation into the controversy surrounding Obama's birth certificate and his constitutional eligibility for office.
NOTE: In case you missed the news conference of Sheriff Joe Arpaio's "Cold Case Posse," you can view it here.
"A singularly remarkable event has taken place in the United States of America," Cotter wrote. "This event occurred in Arizona on March 1st and was an earth shattering revelation. … Yet, in the five days since [Arpaio's] revelations there has been little in the way of serious reporting on the findings he presented in his presser. With 6 short videos, the Sheriff and his team presented a devastating case, one the tame US press is apparently unable to report."
Cotter recalls Obama April 27, 2011, press conference in which he "walked into the White House Press room with a Cheshire cat like grin and a 'Long Form Birth Certificate' from the State of Hawaii in hand."
Speaking from the podium, Obama declared, "We're not going to be able to solve our problems if we get distracted by sideshows and carnival barkers."
"Quite the barb from a man holding a forged document," Cotter wrote. "That's right, forged.
She notes that the investigation also uncovered an allegedly forged Selective Service Card for Obama.
"Forged documents are being used to qualify a President of the United States for the office he holds," she contends. "Or is usurped the more accurate term?
"The silence from the main stream media in the US is deafening. It almost seems as if the press is terrified to even think the question, let alone ask it: Is the President a criminal? The press in Arpaio's audience were certainly asking him to state precisely that, yet nowhere has the question been asked of the White House by the press. Instead the American Press is aggressively protecting the presumed President of the United States, pushing the fraud upon both America and the world, supporting a man who may well have usurped the office."
She asks, "What has been the response from the Obama era press? "Silence. Silence so loud it can be felt."
Cotter lays out detailed evidence of a widespread cover-up and concludes:
The American Press is deliberately hiding the evidence published on the internet about this defrauding of the American public and the deliberate evisceration of the Constitution of the United States. It is hiding Barack Obama's Fraud as it has been revealed by a Sheriff in Arizona. The silence of the American press would be unbelievable if it weren't so blatantly obvious.
It is nearly as egregious as the audacity of Obama's fraud itself.

Emergency manager says a car is not safe place to be during tornado
The recent tornadoes in Moore and El Reno, Okla., put focus on a very important question: What do you do if a tornado is going to strike while you are in your car?
A veteran Oklahoma City broadcast meteorologist stirred up a huge controversy on social media for suggesting people to travel on an interstate if they weren't in an underground shelter, potentially putting more people in harm's way during a recent violent and deadly tornado.
David Maack, the emergency manager in Racine County, has a quarter century of experience dealing with nature's most dangerous situations, and he said a car is not the place you want to be when a tornado is closing in on you.
"I'm not going to stay in my car when I see pictures of cars just being picked up and tossed, you know? I realize I don't want to be in that car when that happens," Maack said.
Pioneer tornado researcher Tim Samaras, his son and a fellow storm chaser lost their lives as they were caught in the middle of a rapidly intensifying tornado near El Reno, Okla.
Maack maintained that if you find yourself on a crowed highway with a tornado bearing down, you should safely park your car, exit the vehicle and find a nearby ditch and get as low as you possibly can.
"I would find the lowest point on the side of the road," Carol Hess said.
Milwaukee-area residents Carol Hess and and Cathy Calkins agree that if they were on the road with a tornado nearby, their car is not where they will stay.
"I would try to find a ditch or hide under a bridge, somewhere sturdy, safe, get out of my car," Calkins said.
"You pick the best possible spot you have, but there's never any guarantee unless you have a storm shelter," Maack said.
A life-threatening reality people have to realize no matter where they are when severe weather strikes
Maack said having a severe weather plan in place before the storm strikes is key to minimizing your injuries or worse.

It Takes a Village12/14/2010 11:06:00 PM Edit This 4 Comments »
So in the spirit of holidays past, I decided Lexie and I could handle not just a gingerbread house but a whole village as our craft project for the weekend (what was I thinking?) Lexie was very excited when I showed her what was in the box.
She jumped right into the assembly of the houses.
She took the icing and decorating of the house so seriously that she took off her princess costume and crown so you know she meant business!
And she was very proud of her work...
But when she was getting bored by her 3rd house I told her I guess I needed to call some of Santa's helpers in like maybe his favorite reindeer.
She couldn't believe that I actually did it.
But when she realized that it was icing well of course she had to "clean it up." Oh my good little helper.
Once we pretty much finished all the houses well they needed to dry before we put them together as a village so it was off to the bath for my little decorator.
Once she was all clean she insisted that she was still hunger so a bowl of oatmeal later she was ready for bed. At least according to me. And I promised I'd finish the village. And here it is.
Pretty darn cute or so I thought.
When I showed Lexie the next morning she said she love it and it was almost perfect. Almost?? She told me this made it perfect.......
Princesses and lots of them! I should have known. What was I thinking? Of course every gingerbread village needs princesses and their friends to make it complete.
And here's my little princess so thrilled to have her own gingerbread princess village.
But what really cracked me up was her story about the princesses in the village. You have to watch this.
This was just one of her "stories." And I love that she's acting like the teacher asking questions of her student - me! She thought she was soooo funny teaching Mommy all about the princesses.
Now I wonder how long gingerbread will last. Anyone have any suggestions?

Contrary to what others might say about me, I don't really like being the centre of attention, and as such, I don't really like throwing a birthday party for myself. If I do have a big party (which I have for the past couple of years), it's because I want all my friends to have fun. That being said, I use my birthday as an excuse to get anything I want, and I celebrate all month long.
This year, I spent my birthday walking around downtown Toronto to collect all my birthday freebies that different companies offer! Starbucks gives you a big fancy birthday drink, Menchies gives you a free froyo cup (up to $5) and as most girls know, Sephora gives you different birthday gifts every year. Yes, all of these perks come with memberships, but they're all free to sign up, so why not!
A couple other places that give you free things are Tuckers Marketplace and Wok of Fame (free buffet dinner), Booster Juice (free drink coupon), Pickle Barrel (app/dessert with purchase of entree), What-a-Bagel (free 6 bagels with purchase of 6 bagels), and Spoonful (1/2 price buffet dinner). There are a bunch on this list that I found online.
Lou Dawg's – 589 King St W., Toronto
So I woke up on the noon of my 24th birthday with a hankering for BBQ. I had been having flashbacks to our outing that had included the Lancaster Smokehouse in Kitchener, so I headed out to the closest place to the condo, Lou Dawg's BBQ. I've seen a few Lou Dawgs around, and the Belly Monsters informed me that they weren't bad. I had a breakfast birthday beer followed by their two meat platter — pulled pork and brisket — which came with two sides — coleslaw and baked beans, my weakness. I also ordered a cheesy jalapeno cornbread, because really, who can say no to that combination? The platter ($14.99) is a great value and it comes with a bun sliced in half for you to make sandwiches if that's what your heart desires.
Now, I don't know why I broke my rule of never ordering pulled pork at a restaurant. It is always disappointing and this one was no different. It tasted like what I can make in my slow cooker. I put it in the bread with my coleslaw, which made it marginally better.
The brisket was a little better. Soft, delicious, but sitting in a pool of grease and fat smothered in barbecue sauce. However, when you drain the fattiness at the bottom from the meat, it is actually quite delicious. They also serve the bbq with two different sauces on the side. The hot sauce is not so hot.
The cornbread was a muffin with pieces of japaleno in it. It was really yummy but disappointingly dry. The cheese on top was crispy and chewy and delicious. I did love the coleslaw and baked beans though. The beans were smokey and perfectly sweet. The coleslaw was the right about of tangy and crunchy. The sides were definitely the highlight of the whole lot, along with the funny and upbeat bartender/waiter.
Boston Pizza – 2915 Eglinton Ave W., Mississauga
Yes, I do not only eat at independent restaurants. We actually eat at chain restaurants quite often when we're trying to please everyone and just need a quick bite. This night was just some wings and desserts. These Caesars were probably the worst Caesar I've ever had. The bacon was bleh. There was too much vodka, and not enough tomato flavour, or any other flavour really.
The big round thing in the middle is what they call a "Doughcano." It's their chocolate explosion cake wrapped in pizza dough, baked, then topped with whipped cream. It was chewy, with thick fudge in the middle, and oh man. It was perfect. Chewy, sugary, and a huge hit of chocolate if that's what you're craving. my only complaint is that the cheesecake tasted and felt more like marshmallows than cheesecake.
The panookie on the right is always a good bet. A giant chocolate chip cookie that's pan-fried, then topped with ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate and caramel sauce. A nice dose of sugar. The edges are crispy and the inside is chewy.
D Hot Shoppe – 4155 Fairview St, Burlington
D Hot Shoppe is a Caribbean/West Indian restaurant that has been recommended to me over and over again by both Dave (@1goatroti) and Justin (@the_Jmoney). On the left is a goat roti drenched in medium gravy and on the right is a doubles, which is a deep fried dough traditionally stuffed with curried chickpeas. They put chutney in it and I asked them to put chicken in it too. They do not look appetizing to someone who's never had them before but DANG. So good. I'd go eat here twice a week if I were nearby. If you can handle spice, I would still recommend getting the medium. I thought I was soo strong and ordered the hot level the first time I ate at D's and I regretted it for a few days as it burned through my digestive tract. It was still delicious though.
Phoenix Chinese Restaurant – 4040 Creditview Rd, Mississauga
A pretty normal Chinese restaurant where you can get your noodles and rice and sweet and sour pork. That beast up there is what they called French toast with peanut butter. It is a pretty dense, sweet bread with peanut butter spread in the middle, deep fried, and then you smother it in more butter and maple syrup. It is deadly. It is delicious.
St. Louis Bar & Grill – 6485 Mississauga Rd, Mississauga
My friend Audrey has been obsessed with Caesars lately, and rightly so. They're delicious. I love it when my caesar comes with a pickled bean. Yum yum.
The burger was quite good, but I just needed a second to rave about these sweet potato fries. Ultra yummy with just the right about of crispiness and potatoeyness still in the middle. They even serve it with a spicy mayo — perfect.
Milestones – 10 Dundas St. E. (Yonge & Dundas), Toronto
The Tuesday Peach Bellini special at Milestones is great! It's like a slushie made of Tim Horton's peach drink, but not as disgustingly sweet. Then it's topped with a flavoured vodka, and apparently an animal of the deer variety. The boys were feeling too manly to order one for themselves even though they really really wanted one.
The white chocolate cheesecake is BEYOND. Just beyond beyond. Soft, sweet, decadent, light, with some coffee underneath, whipped cream at the top. Smooth. Take-me-home-to-yo-momma delicious. Tuck-me-into-a-bed-of-rose-pedals-and-make-love-to-me delicious.
And lastly, the dude that made my birthday outings possible by spoiling me.
I hope all your birthday wishes come true around the world! If they don't, make them happen.

In a gracious interview with the UK Guardian published Saturday, Yoko Ono thanked Paul McCartney for his comments that she wasn't responsible for the breakup of the Beatles.
"I thought people knew that I was not responsible, but surprisingly, many people still felt that. He was very brave. So I'd like to say 'Thank you, Paul. I love you, we love you,'

The story of this feature started in autumn 2007 when I asked a bank for a private loan of 10 000 Euro to start the shooting of Nasty Old People. I was basically afraid to lose motivation and creative energy if I should wait for film funds or some big producers to invest in it. So, instead, I asked my dear and crazy friends to join me in the project - without getting paid - and they said yes!
Two weeks before the first day of shooting the bank finally said yes! I was happy, but also terrified. What if it we wouldn't make it? What if all those creative and engaged people worked for nothing? Anyway, we struggled together through hundreds of hours of non-paid work. Despite the lack of money and equipment we actually managed to finish the shooting of Nasty Old People in 32 days over a period of nine months. Between the periods of shooting we built the set design using old wallpapers, leftovers from carpenters and lots and lots of tape. Most of the scenes are shot in the homes of the film team and the actors; so for periods we stored our own furniture in attics. And also, of course, we had to take care of our ordinary day-jobs.
Anyway, when we had shot two-thirds of the feature I was tiered as hell and I couldn't imagine how we would ever make it to the end. This was the time when I met Helene Granqvist, a producer at Good World in Malmö. Helene supported us throw the last days of shooting and went into the project as a co-producer for the post-production. She managed to find some funding to partly cover the expenses for editing, sound design, music and colour grading. The rest of the post-production is done by Good World for free. Today when we're done and I look back I can see it's a great thing we finished the shooting. But to me it's even greater to experience this almost magical feeling you get when you struggle together with a common vision, without money being your first motivation, and do things you hardly imagine yourself being capable of doing.
Through this journey I learnt a lot about filmmaking, and storytelling, but I think most of all I learned how to jump into the unknown together with other people - without knowing the outcome - but still having trust in other people and in life. That life itself will carry on when you are too tired and don't have the strength to continue on your own.
Now when it's finished, we are happy to release Nasty Old People to the world wide audience on the net. We do this in a different way for the same reasons we once started the project in a different way. We don't want to wait for someone else to accept the film. There is just too much love invested in the project. Putting it in a box to store is not an option. We wanted to tell a story and of course we want it to be shown everywhere. So, now it's out; free to leech and seed, copy, share and remix, and hopefully it will be around for a long time.
I don't want to force people to pay for Nasty Old People, because I'm convinced that stories, art and music create and reflect the society we live in and being able to take part of that creativity should not be dependent on how much money you have in the bank.
Still, of course, I would be thrilled if the team and the actors behind Nasty Old People could get something for all their work, that the bank loan can be repaid and I hope that we can do lots of features together in the future; next time with a little more money. So if you like what you see and would like us to produce some more please support us by sending us some money.
Even though Nasty Old People is released on the net it will still be shown in public places and perhaps in small theatres and at film festivals around Europe. The tour starts in Malmö, Sweden. Tonight, the 10th of October Nasty Old People is shown in Malmö at Kontrapunkt by Luffarbion, aka Vagabond Cinema, which basically is a cinema on wheels run by the film collective RåFILM. Kontrapunkt is a meeting place and workspace for creative people engaged in diverse cultural activities.
On its tour around the world Nasty Old People will be shown outdoors on facades, in clubs, cinemas and theatres. The admission will always be free according to the same principles as on the net. The audience gets the opportunity to donate an optional amount that goes to the loan, distribution, salary to the team, and financing our next feature.
On this webpage you can follow Nasty Old People on its tour around the world and find out when we'll come and visit your town. If you want to help us organize a premier near you please contact us at email@example.com
So if you like what you see and would like us to produce some more please support as by sending an optional amount that goes to the loan, distribution, salary to the team, and financing our next feature!
