Australia's Seven Network will use AI and ML technology from Jeff Bezos' Amazon Web Services to launch what it claims will be the country's first contextual ad placement facility.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning will be used to analyse and code programming, identifying "objects, environments and mood states" within content so that brands can choose options with which to align.
The technology is the first step towards delivering "the dynamics of digital with the scale of broadcast", with talk of being able to replace ads in broadcast TV within the next four or five years.
A partnership with Carsguide will leverage its data will deliver new options for motor, finance and insurance advertising, and Seven promises the otion to activate both Carsguide and Autotrader data.
At an upfronts event which also launched a new buying platform and Seven's coverage of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, guests heard the 7CAP facility would "double ad recall and significantly boost brand awareness".
It was also the first major event for incoming chief executive James Warburton, who told media buyers and marketers the network had been "weak, inward focused, tired and stagnant".
After letting competitors have it too easy, he promised Seven would be "fierce" in future with 52 weeks' programming and increased investment in 'tentpole' programmes.
The new Code7 portal - which follows similar offerings at Nine and Ten - is "built for the future" and will integrate with upcoming VOZ and platforms for cross-screen trading and reporting.
Seven claims contextual relevancy 7CAP will deliver a new way of targeting audiences. Early trials had suggested a doubling of brand awareness, higher engagement rates and brand recall and increased 'lean in' on ads being served.
Olympics coverage will go out on 35 streams and have captioning in multiple languages and new ad formats. In what seemed an appropriate announcement, Seven also disclosed that its 'Big Brother' reality programme would return in 2020 in a new format.

Technical outlook and chart setups:
Silver has reached a higher low around the level of $15.80 and is looking for an opportunity to move higher towards at least $16.40/50. Please note that the metal is bouncing off the wedge support around $15.80 indicating a bullish bounce from current levels. The metal might have already reversed as prices stay above the levels of $14.00. It is hence recommended to remain long with risk at $14.00. Immediate support is seen at $15.50 followed by $15.00, $14.00, and lower, while resistance is seen at $16.40/50 followed by $17.50/60 and higher.
Trading recommendations:
Remain long, stop is set at $14.00, a target is open. Long-term setups.
Good luck!

Stormwater Authority
7-11-19 Minutes
The following were in ATTENDANCE:
Gordon E. Wilson, Chairman Rebecca Davis, MS4 Coordinator
Alison J Shuler, Secretary
Richard Schin, Assistant Secretary
Also in attendance: Steven P. Miner, Esquire, LATSA Solicitor, and Tina Thomas, Recording Secretary.
Chairman Wilson called the July 11, 2019 Regular Meeting of the Stormwater Authority to order at 8:18 pm. He announced that Proof of Publication was available for review. Tina Thomas completed a Roll Call of the Board members present. Lloyd Bucher, Treasurer, and Timothy Johnson, Vice Chairman, were absent with excuse.
Ms. Shuler moved to approve the minutes from the June 6, 2019 meeting of the Stormwater Authority. Mr. Schin seconded the motion. Motion carried 2-0 with 1 abstaining due to absence. Mr. Schin asked if the Board went into Executive Session when Mrs. Shuman was asked to leave the meeting. Chairman Wilson stated that he asked her to leave the meeting so that the Board could discuss her case.
William and Helen Shuman, 260 Creek Road, Camp Hill, were in attendance at the meeting to further discuss the stormwater fee for the vacant lot they own. Mrs. Shuman recapped what she had spoken about at the last meeting for the benefit of Mr. Schin who was absent. Chairman Wilson stated that the Board had not been able to consider the Shuman's case yet because they were awaiting more information from the MS4 Coordinator. Mrs. Shuman stated she did not expect a decision to be made tonight but she is interested in hearing what Mrs. Davis is going to share with the Board.
Mr. Miner stated that the vacant lot is a credit policy issue. Since this would involve changing the credit policy, it is a policy matter and not a formal appeal. Chairman Wilson asked Mrs. Shuman if she had anything to add to last month's presentation and reminded her that there is a 15 minute limit for audience participation.
Mrs. Davis explained the hand-out that she provided to the Board members a listing of vacant parcels and whether they have road frontage, as requested last month by the Board. She stated that out of 190 vacant parcels in Lower Allen Township, 12 have no road frontage. She also had property mapper pulled up on the overhead. Mrs. Shuman stated that she also looked into vacant parcels that were contiguous residential properties and which had no road frontage. She believes either five or seven properties fall under this category, including her property. She stated that if only these five or seven properties were exempt from the stormwater fee, it would only be a loss to the Township of $400 to $530 year. Otherwise, an exemption of all vacant properties would be $14,000 per year in lost revenue. Mrs. Shuman stated again for the Board that properties with road frontage use the storm drains, but they have no storm drain access from their vacant lot and they feel this makes it an exception [from] to the stormwater fee. Per Lower Allen Ordinance, properties without road frontage cannot be developed. She stated that residential properties larger than theirs only have to pay one ERU for their property and it would be too costly for them to change their deed. They also do not want to do a BMP as it is costly to start and maintain.
Mrs. Davis stated that the Board would have to amend the policy and then the resolution as it states that every parcel will be billed. She believes there may be more than 5 vacant parcels that fit the criteria. She also stated that all properties have stormwater runoff and that is why each property [that was] assigned a parcel number by the Cumberland County Tax Association was assessed a fee. Mrs. Davis also anticipates more owners of vacant parcels will come to the Township and ask for their fees to be waived.
Mr. Miner stated that the Shumans do not have a relevant appeal under the current policies. Theirs is more of a policy issue. He also agreed with Mrs. Shuman that under current Lower Allen ordinance, a property cannot be developed that does not have road frontage on a public street.
Mr. Schin stated that he does not feel that the Stormwater Board is close to changing the policy and a lot of discussion would need to be held before a decision could be reached.
Mrs. Davis stated that a lot of time and thought went into creating the policy initially. The stormwater program helps to fund the future infrastructure of the Township that must be maintained. All residents use the stormwater infrastructure and drive on the roads. It is a very comprehensive program and does not just deal with where stormwater inlets are located.
Chairman Wilson stated that he would like to table this discussion. Mrs. Shuman asked what the next step would be. Chairman Wilson said that Mr. Miner and the whole Board would need to review the information. This would probably take place next month. Mrs. Shuman thanked the Board for their time.
Mr. Miner referenced the memo that he had passed out to the Board members. He stated that there is not an expiration date on the appeal.
Mrs. Davis is presenting the report due to Mr. Bucher's absent. She stated that she and Mr. Bucher met with the Township Finance Director, Mr. Grove. The purpose was to go over the transfer request for the first quarterly installment of 2019, which was based on budgeted amounts. She stated that after an audit is performed, the financials for the third quarter will be based on actual numbers. A hand-out was provided with the revenue and expenditures leading to the requested funds transfer. The first installment is for $139,527 and is a third of the budgeted amount. Ms. Shuler moved to approve the transfer of funds and Mr. Schin seconded the motion. Motion carried 3-0.
Mrs. Davis spoke about the updated billed revenue which is $403,953.73 and noted the difference still not collected is $99,332.70. This outstanding amount, which totals almost 40%, is from PennDOT, the PA Turnpike, and SCI Camp Hill. After three quarters of uncollected fees, a notice will be sent; after four quarters a delinquency notice will then be sent. Fifteen days after that a lien is placed on the property.
Mrs. Davis presented the Stormwater Fee Credit and Appeals Monthly Report. She stated that one application was received in the past month and it was from 2850 Appleton Street. It is a large commercial property with a large basin constructed in the 1970's. She stated that there was no justification provided demonstrating the basin on the property meets BMP. Thus, it was denied.
Mrs. Davis then spoke about the summary of the vacant parcel data that Mr. Bucher had requested she provide. She offered to provide a larger map next month if that would be helpful to the Board. Ms. Shuler asked Mrs. Davis if she could look more into contiguous parcels and parcels without road frontage specifically. She would like a list of properties that cannot be developed to narrow down the current list.
Chairman Wilson would like to pursue stormwater fee payment by SCI Camp Hill. Mr. Miner stated that he will do it informally as he did for the Sewer Authority. If it goes to litigation and the Township would lose, it would set a precedent for the entire state. Mr. Schin stated that other municipalities are also having a difficult time collecting stormwater fees from large entities. Chairman Wilson asked if we can report entities that will not pay to the DEP and EPA. Mr. Miner stated that a better result would be achieved by going together with other municipalities and perhaps starting with PennDOT since everyone is affected by them. The Stormwater Board asked Mr. Miner to pursue this.
Mr. Miner told the Board that he will not be in attendance at the August 1st meeting.
There being no more business, Mr. Wilson adjourned the Stormwater Authority meeting at 9:08 pm. The next meeting of the Stormwater Authority will take place on Thursday August 1st.
Respectfully submitted,
Tina Thomas
Recording Secretary

How to contribute to JavaScriptMVC 3.0
If you are reading this, I can safely assume you know what JavaScriptMVC (JMVC) is, what its features are, and what components it consists of, namely:
- FuncUnit (the test framework)
- DocumentJS (the documentation engine)
- jQuery (JavaScriptMVC uses a special fork with added bugfixes)
- JavaScriptMVC (the core framework)
- Steal (the code manager / script loader; sometimes referred to as "StealJS")
- Phui (component library for JavaScriptMVC, not part of the core)
These partly independent components (together with Selenium) are bundled using git submodules (http://book.git-scm.com/5_submodules.html) in a repository called "framework" for your convenience:
A detailed description of the components can be found on the Jupiter JS blog:
Release 2.0
You should be aware that release 2.0 is still out there. Don't get confused. It is hosted on Google Code at http://code.google.com/p/javascriptmvc/ and uses Subversion instead of git. Don't use the issue tracker there for bugs you find in 3.0.
The respective project Web sites are:
- http://www.javascriptmvc.com/ for 2.0
- http://v3.javascriptmvc.com/index.html for 3.0
Ways to contribute
There is a number of ways to contribute:
- You can fork the project repositories on github (http://github.com/jupiterjs/) into your own repository and send a "pull request", every time you want to submit changes (pull requests replace patches and preserve your authorship)
- After contributing for a while, you can become a member of the JavaScriptMVC team and ask for direct write access to the project repositories
- You can just checkout/download the latest framework version and report bugs to the developers (http://github.com/jupiterjs/javascriptmvc/issues) or answer questions on the mailing list (http://groups.google.com/group/javascriptmvc?hl=en)
A few words about git
In every case you should become more or less familiar with git (the distributed version control system) and github (the project hosting Web site). The Git Community Book is a great reference: http://book.git-scm.com/index.html. If you are already familiar with Subversion, you might want to read the "Git – SVN Crash Course" (http://git.or.cz/course/svn.html). The main idea of git is that everyone has its own repository (that's why it's called distributed). It allows everyone to contribute easily to Open Source projects and was initially designed and developed by Linus Torvalds for Linux kernel development.
In contrast to "normal" version control systems, a commit is happening on your local computer only. If you want to actually send your code to the server, you have to push it back to the remote repository. If this is not the main repository of the project but your own fork, you additionally have to send a "pull request" to the project owner (jupiterjs in that case). As a previous user of Subversion I found the whole process of checking out the source, committing my changes and pushing it back to the repository tremendously complicated, even though I understand the need for distributed version control. In part this is because git sometimes comes up with error messages that look pretty scary and that don't help to understand the actual problem.
Setup your github account
After you created your free github account at http://github.com/, you need to go to the Account Settings page, click on "SSH Public Keys" in the left hand side navigation and then enter your public key. If you don't have one yet, you open a text terminal on the local computer and enter:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "firstname.lastname@example.com"
There is a more detailed howto at http://help.github.com/msysgit-key-setup/.
If you run Windows, you are probably out of luck. Try to ask Google for assistance ;)
Next step is to fork the repositories you want to work on. This process is pretty convenient – you simply click the fork button on the main repository page. The complete list is visible on:
Install Git and Java
If not yet done, you should also install Git and Java on the local computer by using the package management software that comes with your Linux distribution. On Ubuntu you can use the "Synaptic Package Manager" for example. At least in the past, I had bad experiences with OpenJDK and Rhino (the engine that executes JMVC's command line scripts), so I recommend installing the "original" Sun/Oracle Java version. The Selenium server also needs Java.
Clone the repositories
I recommend cloning (that means checkout) the "framework" repository as the first step. The build script in there allows creating the downloadable packages you see on http://github.com/jupiterjs/framework/downloads. To do this, follow these 4 easy steps:
- Create an empty local directory that should contain all your github repositories and change into it
- git clone git://github.com/jupiterjs/framework.git
- git submodule init
- git submodule update
That's it!
The procedure to clone your forked project repositories is similar. First you need the URL that you have to provide to Git.
Go to your Git home page ( http://github.com/[username]/) and then click on the forked respository, e.g. javascriptmvc. On the top you'll see 3 different URLS:
- SSH with read and write access: This is what you want to use
- HTTP: This is slower and offers read only access
- Git Read-Only: Since we want to push (write) our changes to the server, this does not make sense
Now simply clone it into your local github directory by typing:
git clone firstname.lastname@example.com:[username]/[repository].git
Push changes
With Git, you can do as many commit as you want locally. Please note that the equivalent to "svn commit" is "git commit –a". Please be nice and provide a commit message every time, for example:
git commit -a –message 'Changed github URLs from pinhook to jupiterjs'
To see what would be commited or to see your changes since the last commit you can use "git status" and "git diff".
After testing all your changes locally (this is probably worth another article, but I'm running out of time now), you are free to commit your changes to the remote repository:
git push origin master
You can also configure git to always push to the matching remote branch (there are other options as well, but I'm not that much into git to fully understand them, to be honest):
git config push.default matching
Next time you push something into that repository, it is enough to use "git push".
As mentioned earlier, you have to do send a "pull request" (there is a nice button on github to do just that), if you want to send your changes from your fork to the original project repository.
Pull changes for submodules
In my naïve thinking, I assumed that Git will automatically update the submodule directories in the framework repository when you type "git submodule update". This is not the case.
You have to manually pull the latest changes in each sub directory that contains a submodule like this:
cd funcunit/
git checkout master (only required the first time)
git pull
You will only get the changes in the submodules via "git pull" in the main framework directory if somebody with write access to framework does this "cd [submodule]; git pull" procedure locally and then pushes back to the repository on github:
Thanks for reading this. You see, I'm not a Git expert yet and I really hope I didn't give any bad advice concerning its usage. As I improve my knowledge and find best practices how to do things most efficiently, I will update this page or post a follow-up. Especially testing is not covered in this article, which is a shame.

Addition u/s 40A(3)
Section 40A(3) - No violation when the cash payments were made to Supervisors to manage business
Section 263 - Action not warranted when the AO has taken a concise decision of not making addition
1. Assessee is a contractor and his books of accounts are audited u/s 44AB of the Income Tax Act, 1961
2. The case of the assessee was selected for scrutiny
3. During the assessment proceedings, after examination of books of accounts and after verification of other details the addition was made to the tune of Rs.1 lac
4. The learned CIT issued notice u/s 263 and passed order u/s 263 and set aside the order of Assessing Officer with the directions to Assessing Officer to decide the issue afresh on merits in accordance with law
5. Aggrieved the assessee preferred appeal before the ITAT
Arguments by Assessee
Learned AR submitted that the basis on which proceedings by Commissioner were initiated u/s 263 for the so called violation of provisions of section 40A(3) was not correct as in fact the assessee had not made payments in violation of provisions of section 40A(3) and this angle was already examined by Assessing Officer before passing the assessment order. The learned AR in this respect invited our attention to a copy of questionair issued by Assessing Officer placed at paper book page 12 to 14 and our specific attention was invited to question No.19 placed at paper book page 13. Inviting our attention to reply to this notice, the learned AR took us to paper book page 15 to 17 and our specific attention was invited to reply to question No. 19 placed at paper book page 17. The learned AR further invited our attention to a copy of audit report placed at paper book page 2 to 11 and submitted that auditor in his report has not pointed out any violation in the provisions of section 40A(3) and in this respect our specific attention was invited to paper book page 5. The learned AR, therefore, submitted that the necessary examination was already done by Assessing Officer and therefore, action u/s 263 was not warranted.
Without prejudice the learned AR submitted that reassessment proceedings in this case were initiated on the basis of audit objection and which were later on dropped however, on the same date of dropping the reassessment proceedings proposal for initiation action u/s 263 was initiated on the basis of same audit objection which was not warranted by law as held by Punjab & Haryana High Court in the case of CIT V Sohana Woollen Mills,296 ITr 238 and in this respect filed a copy of the case law reported at 296 ITR 238.
Arguments by Revenue
The learned DR, on the other hand, submitted that the assessment order passed by Assessing Officer does not talk about the examination of this aspect and therefore, the action u/s 263 was rightly taken by Commissioner. He submitted that department had dropped proceedings u/s 147 to strengthen its case for action u/s 263.
We find that the examination of violation of provisions of section 40A(3) has been examined by Assessing Officer on three occasions and he had not found any violation of such provisions. The reply filed by the assessee clearly shows that to manage his business at various places the advances were made to various Supervisors engaged working in various locations and these Supervisors used to submit the details of material purchased by them and for making payments to labour and each payment was less than Rs.20,000/- and therefore, in fact, there was no violation of the provisions of section 40A(3).
In the case before us, we find that the Assessing Officer has already applied his mind and has taken a concise decision of not making addition for violation of provisions as there were no violation at all and therefore, the order passed by Assessing Officer was not erroneous and was not prejudicial to the interest of Revenue.

A black bear thought to have been stressed while attempting to escape crowds of gawkers at Lake Louise started nipping at a tourist's ankles, tearing his pants and biting his leg, say parks officials.
The international visitor in his mid-20s was hiking the Lake Agnes Horse Trail near the lake in Banff National Park when he spotted the black bear on Friday, officials with Parks Canada said.

Highly stressed black bear bites tourist at crowded Lake Louise Back to video
Parks officials said they received the call around 4:45 p.m. and sent staff onto the trail.
They were aware a bear was in the area because other visitors had reported seeing one swimming in the lake shortly before the encounter.
The bear emerged from the chilly water near the trailhead, wandering into the forest.
Wildlife management specialist Jon Stuart-Smith said the bear might have been trying to get away from tourists by swimming across part of the lake, but got cold and left the water before clearing the crowds.

In 1995, I learned to play sax. I teach how to play alto and baritone saxophone, which are both in E♭, how to read music, and how to improvise. I own two alto saxophones, one for teaching.
I enjoy teaching saxophone to see people learn to play an instrument that I have played for more than 20 years.

I teach a new student without training 1) how the keys work, 2) the notes 3) what keys play what notes.
I teach a new student with some training 1) how to sound better on low notes and high notes 2) how to read music 3) how to improvise.
I can also teach a new student with or without training how to read music.
I was taught to play the alto in middle school in 1994. I have experience teaching foreign language.
My pricing system for lessons is flexible depending on 1) a new students ability to pay 2) how long the lessons will be.
I started teaching as a volunteer.
I have volunteered to teach adults and children.
I had a great time watching the Boston Symphony Orchestra at Carnegie Hall at the beginning of March 2017.
A new student should look to hire a teacher who likes the saxophone and enjoys to teach.

Pavlov's Dog and the Notification Ding: Your Smartphone Glue
With just the "ding" of a smartphone enough to grab our attention, are we turning into Pavlov's dogs?
Picture this. You're doing something…let's say, reading a book, or watching TV. Just then, you get a "ding" on your phone. And no matter what you're doing, you immediately go for your phone and check it out. Sound familiar? Well, it is. That notification ding is a glue that binds you helplessly to your smartphone.
The Notification Ding
How much time do you spend on your phone on average? 2 hours? 4? Or more? No matter how many hours of screen we take in, our attention never really diverts from our smartphones. Even in an unconscious state, our mind is on our phones. Our minds are always aware of our smartphones…of the fact that it can buzz any time with said notification. Our minds are waiting for it. And so, due to this, smartphones can make us look at them with so much as a simple ding! A notification is enough to make us drop what we're doing and glance at our smartphones. Relatable?
I should think so. Because our smartphones are the "precious" devils. Smartphones have become such a huge part of our lives that our day starts and ends with one. Of course, they do help largely to do stuff, but it's not what we're addicted to. It's the pleasure we derive from being validated, being part of something that outside of the monotony that pulls us. And so, the moment it beckons, we're ready to be pulled into it…sometimes, staying there for considerable periods after checking the actual notification.
Apps and Bells
Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Messenger, WhatsApp, Dating apps, or even work apps can easily grab our attention. That notification bell that alerts us of any message, likes, or comments, make our brains release dopamine – something that results in us feeling pleasure. And sometimes, getting a notification can be more powerful than actually looking into it.
"That ping is telling us there is some type of reward there, waiting for us", David Greenfield, Psychologist, and Asst. Clinical Professor at the University of Connecticut says. "Smartphone notifications have turned us all into Pavlov's dogs"
Think about this. More often than not, you might have felt excited to get a notification on your phone while doing something else, even though you have no idea what that is. Just a vibration or a ting gives you this "rush" and you hastily check it out. If it's not that important to you, you simply put your phone back in your pocket. But you do check it.
Classical Conditioning
And that's exactly how smartphones have turned us into Pavlov's dogs. If you're wondering what that is, take a walk back to Introductory Psychology. Ivan Pavlov, a Russian physiologist, is known for his work on Classical Conditioning. It is a type of associative learning which suggests that a response can be produced by a trigger to a stimulus if the mind is trained to. Pavlov worked this out with his dogs. Before he fed his dogs, he sounded a bell to signal that it was time to feed and whenever the food was brought, they salivated. And over time, his dogs learned to associate the sound of the bell to feeding. And so, every time the bell sounded, the dogs salivated…whether the food was brought in or not.
If you have a house pet, you might have noticed similar instances. Your dogs might know the sound of opening a packet of biscuits. And whenever you open a packet of anything, they come towards you, expecting something, even if you're only opening a packet of soup…which is not for dogs, anyway.
Classical Conditioning and Smartphones
The point is, even though human behavior is more complex than you can fathom, it turns out our animal instincts are just as easy to control. And that's what smartphones can do. They are associated with some of our needs on Maslow's Hierarchy – Belongingness and Esteem Needs. They help us get access to endless information, knowledge, and entertainment and also help us meet our needs of relatedness, and friendships. Our smartphones are a gateway to connections – a place in this world, and our notifications are associated with it. This is why, our response to these notification dings is, mostly, excitement.
And this is why we are always aware of our phones, even though we, ourselves, are unaware of the fact that we are doing so. The situation is much worse, that, if you hear a notification sounds from someone else's phones, you check yours too.
And maybe, you have felt this too – just random vibrations from your phone when it hasn't actually happened at all. This is actually more common than you think and is known as Phantom Vibration Syndrome. You think your phone vibrated with some kind of notification but it actually hasn't.
This is now turning out to be a problem. We divide our attention between our smartphones and the task at hand. And just a buzz or a ring or chime is enough to draw our attention fully on to our phones. This, of course, leads to a negative impact on our work, or social life. Also, you must be aware of those studies that suggest how smartphones and technology decrease our creativity and brain activity.
The Problem
When you're glued to your smartphone, there are certain limits. And there are times when you realize that you need to cut back. You keep checking your phone every 5-10 minutes because every time you do, there's something new waiting for you. And even though most of it might be bogus, every once in awhile, you find something good. And that boosts your dopamine levels even more. Meaning, you will keep surfing through useless content in the hopes that you'll come across something good. (Studies suggest that this is also related to gambling…you keep on playing in the hopes that you'll win eventually because the rush of winning once / twice is better than the risk of losing it all.)
So, look for signs that you need to cut back. If your smartphone interferes with your sleep, or it leaves no time for your friends and family physically, it hampers your work, etc.
The Pavlov's Dog Solution
As grave of a problem, this can be, there is no perfect solution. We are so dependant on our smartphones, that parting with them is not an option. Cutting back can help, but it won't totally solve the problem.
Many companies, now, are bringing features like the Zen Mode – it does not alert you for any kind of notification for a set period of time. And even then, when that Zen Mode is turned off, the rush of notifications we get all at once is enough to take you to a level of euphoria.
Of course, you can disable your push notifications altogether. But that, too, can interfere with your work and your digital social life. Finding a perfect balance is key, but that is difficult. Digital detoxing might help if you can implement it.
Smartphones have powerful control over us. They are mostly, irresistible. These notifications make us feel important and wanted. If you do go through a day without receiving any notifications, it makes you feel somewhat worthless and unwanted.
App makers have found a way to Classically Condition us, just like Pavlov's dogs. The notification ding is our dinner bell, and the excitement we get is the way we salivate – even though there's nothing relevant to look for. Who knew we evolved for millennia, only to be slaves to these little electronics in our pockets? Maybe, we humans aren't so complex at all.

Ruthelma (Pitmon) Moore 1929–2020 Columbus, OH—Ruthelma (Pitmon) Moore, age 91, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, June 30, 2020 in Columbus, OH. Ruthe was born to Lewis and Lorraine Pitmon in Kasota, MN on February 19, 1929. She graduated from St. Peter High School in 1946. She attended Braniff Airline School and worked for the airline in Dallas in the early 1950's. There, she met and married Dale Hare. They returned to live in St. Peter in 1956. Together they had a son, Toby, and then later divorced. She married Bill Moore in 1970 and together they had a daughter, Caron. Ruthe worked at the Holiday House and also held many sales and secretarial jobs in the St. Peter area over the years. She loved working with the public and always spoke fondly of the places she worked and the people she worked with. She also loved many types of music and enjoyed seeing plays and live performances as often as she could. In retirement, she volunteered at area hospitals and with Meals on Wheels. In 2009 she moved to Ohio to live with her daughter and family and was very happy to be able to spend quality time with them. Ruthe is survived by her daughter Caron (Brad Barron) Moore; step-daughter Vicki (Louie) King; grandchildren: Molly (Scot) Cybyske, Marie (Ken Ebert) Moore, Michael (Liz) Moore, Travis (Lauren) Hare, Shilo Hare, Cameron Barron, Connor Barron and Lily Barron; great grandchildren: Ellie, Sam, Zachary, Zoey, Lucy and Kerrigan; nieces and a nephew. She was preceded in death by her parents; brother Jerry Pitmon, husband Bill Moore; son Toby Hare and step-son Don Moore. A private memorial will be held at a later date.

This disorder is called diabetes it is when you have little amounts of insulin or glucose dependings diabetes is bad for you it can make you die. It can also make you have bad diarrhea. Just make sure that you don't eat lots of sugar because your body may not be able to produce enough insulin. Diabetes is a chronic, often fatal disease, in which the body either cannot produce insulin or cannot properly use the insulin it produces. Insulin is a hormone that controls the amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood. Diabetes leads to high blood sugar levels, which can damage organs blood vessels and nerves. The body needs insulin to use sugar as an energy source.
The pancreas is an organ that sits behind the stomach and releases hormones into the digestive system. In the healthy body, when blood sugar levels get too high, the beta cells release insulin. Insulin is a hormone and it causes cells to take in sugar to use as energy or to store as fat. This causes blood sugar levels to go back down. Type 1 diabetes occurs when the immune system attacks and kills the beta cells of the pancreas. No or very little insulin is released into the body. As a result, sugar builds up in the blood instead of being used as energy. About five to 10 percent of people with diabetes have type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes generally develops in childhood but can develop in adulthood.
Type 1 diabetes is always treated with insulin. Meal planning also helps with keeping blood sugar at the right levels. Type 1 diabetes also includes latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA), the term used to describe the small number of people with type 2 diabetes who appear to have immune-mediated loss of pancreatic beta cells.
Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body can't properly use the insulin that is released (called insulin insensitivity) or does not make enough insulin. As a result, sugar builds up in the blood instead of being used as energy. About 90 per cent of people with diabetes have type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes more often develops in adults, but children can be affected.
Depending on the severity of type 2 diabetes, it may be managed through physical activity and or may also require medications and/or insulin to control blood sugar more effectively. Having high blood sugar can cause diabetes-related bad things, like chronic kidney disease, foot problems, non-traumatic lower limb (leg, foot, toe, etc.) amputation, eye disease (retinopathy) that can lead to blindness, heart attack, stroke, anxiety, nerve damage, and erectile dysfunction (men).
Diabetes-related complications can be very serious and even life-threatening. Properly managing blood sugar levels reduces the risk of developing these complications.

The Gangster Movie Review
There is nothing more amazing to watch than a wonderful children's film. If the filmmaker nails it they create a film that transcends time, culture and generation ala Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971) and when they miss you get something like Pocket Ninjas (1997). The modern blueprint for a successful children's film can be found by looking at two men, Brad Bird and John Lasseter. When Bird appeared on the scene with Iron Giant (1999), though not a commercial success, it turned a lot of heads because, simply, the film is a masterpiece. John Lasseter is so well known he is a household name due to Pixar, but it's his screenplays for Toy Story, A Bug's Life and Cars that helped define the successful family picture. The breadth of both Bird and Lasseter's filmographies show concisely the fundamental rule of the true family film: never pander. The brilliance of something like Willy Wonka is that I can still watch that movie today, as an adult, and enjoy it because it works as a children's film and on its own merits. That duality of story is what Bird and Lasseter have so perfected, and to show another example would be entirely redundant. It's disappointing then to see, when blessed with so many modern cinematic examples on how to do it right, that filmmakers seem to still miss the boat. Though harboring sprinklings of brilliance here and there, Caley Wilson's short film The Gangster (2009) overall seems to have evaded its intended mark and ultimately its audience.
It's never an enjoyable thing to cut into a film, like natal surgery, it is heart wrenching for all involved. The Gangster does have a lot going for it. The cinematography is top notch as is the sound (the importance of which can never be understated) yet the story is very predictable and by the end credits I was struck with the odd feeling I had just watched a film based on a one note joke. The story centers on three friends, Baden (Justin Scriver), Michelle (Kyra Weisman) and Adam (Lukas Pallotta) who witness a "gangster car" leaving an abandoned house. The children are so enticed by the concept that the house may be a dumping site for dead bodies that they break in to have a look around.
Whereas the concept of childhood projection can be used in wonderful cinematic ways, here it is only hinted at and ultimately discarded for convention. The three child leads handle themselves competently, though at times the pace of their dialogue as well as their performances are stilted and disjointed. Still there is a clever exchange in the opening when Baden and Michelle discuss the presence of the gangster Caddy as being proof of dead bodies. It's wonderful child logic and the exchange is witty, well paced and hits a high note with Baden exclaiming "Dead bodies. That's what those cars are for. You pretty much got to kill someone before they'll sell you one." When Wilson allows himself to explore these element of child perception, the film shines. The short-lived moments inside the house, when Michelle goes in through a broken window to open the door for the others, are brilliant and expertly handled. They showcase Wilson's undeniable filmmaking ability which makes his ultimate discarding of them so disappointing. His use of sound, muffled dialogue, lighting, set design and camera are so top notch here it feels like another film entirely. If these elements had been carried further, or explored in more detail, the culmination of the story would have been more satisfying. Yet Wilson tips his hand just a little too soon and gives the punch line of the story away before reveling it on screen.
Wilson definitely has some talent behind the camera, and there is no denying he's a brave soul. Making a film centered on children is something certain filmmakers will never even attempt. For the most part he nails the logic and heart of a child, and his moments inside the house exploring perception verses reality is a stroke of genius. Yet he also makes the misstep of falling to convention and ultimately pandering to his perceived youth audience. There are ingredients in The Gangster that could make for a truly amazing film, and Wilson most definitely has the chops to do it. Evolving the concept and carrying it through, or even allowing the film to go over the top as in Jacob Two-Two Meets The Hooded Fang (1978), would add immeasurably. Ultimately Wilson has offered us a competent first film rife with potential and possibilities.
The goal of any reviewer is never to stifle creativity like Wilson's, but to say "Don't hold back or second guess yourself." The moments with Michelle inside the house alone harkens to a unique and burgeoning filmmaking talent if allowed to roam free. The Gangster has its flaws as does most first films, but it also has its moments of sly brilliance. Given time and focusing on what really works Wilson will most certainly come into his own. For now though The Gangster stands as an admirable first step.


text: Square Enix's Marvel's Avengers debut trailer received a mediocre reception. However, those who saw the gameplay presentation behind closed doors had overwhelmingly positive things to say. With some saying the footage shown should've been what debuted the game. Now, it's public and the footage shown is definitely a step up from the debut trailer. The footage is prologue, giving an extensive look at what happened during the trailer. With players seeing footage of Thor, Iron Man, Captain America, and Black Widow in action. The Avengers working together and facing against enemies armed with stolen weapons made by Tony Stark. It's impressive and as someone who wasn't blown away by the original trailer. This gameplay footage has changed my opinion about the game for the better. Marvel's Avengers releases for Google Stadia, PC, PS4, and Xbox One on May 15, 2020.
