Picture Perfect with Donald Weber: Japan in Focus
In our second episode of Picture Perfect, we travel to Tokyo, Japan with Canadian photographer Donald Weber. Weber was born in Toronto, Canada and originally trained as an architect, working with urban theorist Rem Koolhaas' Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. As a freelance photographer, his work has appeared in international publications including Der Speigel, The Guardian, Newsweek, The New York Times, Rolling Stone and Stern. He has also earned numerous grants and awards such as 2007 Canadian Photojournalist of the Year.
We meet Weber and discuss his ongoing documentation of life in Chernobyl, his interest in power roles and his photographic practice. We then go with Weber inside the buffer zone at Fukushima and follow him as he attempts to document the eerie reality amidst an ongoing nuclear crisis.
The powerful footage and imagery remind us that the displaced victims of the Japan earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster still need our help. To support continuing relief efforts, Incase has committed to raise $10,000 for the Artists Help Japan Movement through the Mercy Corps charity organization.
Help us help others with a $20 donation. As a thank you for your generosity we'll send you a limited edition Japan Solidarity Case for iPhone 4. 100% of the proceeds will go to help the victims in Japan.

A more formal way for generating duration strings:
function duration( $int_seconds=0, $if_reached=null )
$key_suffix = 's';
$periods = array(
'year' => 31556926,
'month' => 2629743,
'day' => 86400,
'hour' => 3600,
'minute' => 60,
'second' => 1
// used to hide 0's in higher periods
$flag_hide_zero = true;
// do the loop thang
foreach( $periods as $key => $length )
// calculate
$temp = floor( $int_seconds / $length );
// determine if temp qualifies to be passed to output
if( !$flag_hide_zero || $temp > 0 )
// store in an array
$build[] = $temp.' '.$key.($temp!=1?'s':null);
// set flag to false, to allow 0's in lower periods
$flag_hide_zero = false;
// get the remainder of seconds
$int_seconds = fmod($int_seconds, $length);
// return output, if !empty, implode into string, else output $if_reached
return ( !empty($build)?implode(', ', $build):$if_reached );
Simple use:
echo duration( mktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 1, date('Y')+1) - time(), 'Some fancy message to output if duration is already met...' );
Enjoy. :-)

Note on the code given by cory at lavacube dot net.
You will recieve better results by not using floor and using round instead. As you continue increasing to larger amounts of time you will notice that the outputted time is off by large amounts.
so instead of $temp = floor( $int_seconds / $length );
we would use $temp = round( $int_seconds / $length );
function duration( $int_seconds=0, $if_reached=null )
$key_suffix = 's';
$periods = array(
'year' => 31556926,
'month' => 2629743,
'day' => 86400,
'hour' => 3600,
'minute' => 60,
'second' => 1
// used to hide 0's in higher periods
$flag_hide_zero = true;
// do the loop thang
foreach( $periods as $key => $length )
// calculate
$temp = round( $int_seconds / $length );
// determine if temp qualifies to be passed to output
if( !$flag_hide_zero || $temp > 0 )
// store in an array
$build[] = $temp.' '.$key.($temp!=1?'s':null);
// set flag to false, to allow 0's in lower periods
$flag_hide_zero = false;
// get the remainder of seconds
$int_seconds = fmod($int_seconds, $length);
// return output, if !empty, implode into string, else output $if_reached
return ( !empty($build)?implode(', ', $build):$if_reached );

I don't believe that is correct.
Try this out using your patch:
echo duration( mktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 2006)-time() );
As of right now, this will read:
1 month, 22 days, 24 hours, 49 minutes, 15 seconds
Which is completely incorrect. Seeing as how it is the 9th of December.
The real real flaw here is how the 'year' and 'month' periods are calculated. As most months vary in length...
Thank you very much SnakeEater251 for pointing this out.
The quickest way to get slightly more accurate results, is to use averages based on one "true" year, which is 365.25 days.
Change the year and month to:
'year' => 31557600, // one 'true year' (365.25 days)
'month' => 2629800, // one 'true year' divided by 12 :-)
I will work on developing a true fix, for pin-point accuracy. ;-)

Integer Modulo
If you want the remainder of the division of two Integers rather than Floats, use "%"; eg:
$a = 4;
$b = 3;
print($a % $b);
Will output "1".

Well not sure how your comment applys to fmod..
but their is a sure simpler way of coping with situations like this..
its called a bit field (bit masking)
/* Categories */
bin dec cat
0001 - 1 - Blue
0010 - 2 - Red
0100 - 4 - Green
1000 - 8 - Yellow
/* Permissions */
0010 - 2 - Bob
0101 - 5 - John
1011 - 11 - Steve
1111- 15 - Mary
to find out the permissions for each user you simple need to do a bitwise AND
function get_perm($auth)
foreach($cats as $perm=>$catNum)
if($auth & $catNum)
return $perms;
[Blue] => 1
[Red] => 1
[Yellow] => 1
This is far simpler than your prime number idea, in fact you dont even need a function in any tests for the permmsions on a user you can do them directly using the bitwise and operator.

You can also use the modulo operator '%', which returns the same result :
$var1 = 5;
$var2 = 2;
echo $var1 % $var2; //Returns 1
echo fmod($var1,$var2); //Returns the same
ysangkok at gmail dot com ¶

Please note that this:
function custom_modulo($var1, $var2) {
$tmp = $var1/$var2;
return (float) ( $var1 - ( ( (int) ($tmp) ) * $var2 ) );
$par1 = 1;
$par2 = 0.2;
echo "fmod: ";
var_dump(fmod ( $par1 , $par2 ));
echo "custom_modulo: ";
var_dump(custom_modulo ( $par1 , $par2 ));
gives this:
fmod: float(0.2)
custom_modulo: float(0)
Fmod does not deliver the desired result, therefore I made my own.

If you need to reduce an integer to zero if zero and 1 if not, you can use
$sign = (integer)(boolean)$integer;
instead of
$sign = $integer > 0 ? 1 : 0;
it is faster from 100 operations on (at least on my machine).

NAN (.net Equivalent = Double.NaN) means "Not-a-Number".
Some ways to get NaN are modulo 0, and square root of 0.

Note that fmod is NOT equivalent to this basic function:
function modulo($a, $b) {
return $a - $b * floor($a / $b);
because fmod() will return a value with the same sign as $a. In other words the floor() function is not correct as it rounds towards -INF instead of towards zero.
To emulate fmod($a, $b) the correct way is:
function fmod($a, $b) {
return $a - $b * (($b < 0) ? ceil($a / $b) : floor($a / $b)));
Note that both functions will throw a DIVISION BY ZERO if $b is null.
The first function modulo() above is the mathematical function which is useful for working on cyclic structures (such as calender computions or trignonometric functions :
- fmod($a, 2*PI) returns a value in [0..2*PI) if $a is positive
- fmod($a, 2*PI) returns a value in [-2*PI..0] if $a is negative
- modulo($a, 2*PI) returns a value always in [0..2*PI) independantly of the sign of $a

I always use this:
function modulo($n,$b) {
return $n-$b*floor($n/$b);
And it appears to work correctly.
sam dot fullman at verizon ¶

This function behaves wierd in negative regions. If you have something like an angle that goes through 360 degress of rotation and your angle goes negative, then fmod of -1 should be 359, right?
Here's a way to get that result, so that you get a phase shift vs. just a "negative fmod":
$h= -30; //same as 330 degrees
//handle negative
$fail++; if($fail>100)break; //in case loop gets tied up
echo $h; //will say 330 degrees - we phase shifted up until positive.

For those of you still using PHP 4.1.X and below.. fmod is not available. You can easily check if a variable a multiple of 2 by doing the following which is compatible with 4.1.X and below:
$var; //variable to check if multiple of 2 or not
$stype = gettype($var/2); //returns the type of the result.
if($stype == "integer"){
echo "$var is a multiple of two! Yay!";
} else {
echo "$var is NOT a multiple of two! Yay, I guess!";
since 3/2 = 1.5 its a float..
4/2 = 2 its an integer..
$stype will be equal to "double" if the variable is a float.. for historical reasons.
jphansen at uga dot edu ¶

fmod() does not mirror a calculator's mod function. For example, fmod(.25, .05) will return .05 instead of 0 due to floor(). Using the aforementioned example, you may get 0 by replacing floor() with round() in a custom fmod().
function fmod_round($x, $y) {
$i = round($x / $y);
return $x - $i * $y;
var_dump(fmod(.25, .05)); // float(0.05)
var_dump(fmod_round(.25, .05)); // float(0)

Just a note on the previous note by Ryan Means:
Instead of using explode() to get the number before the decimal point, would be to use floor()... floor() rounds fractions down, which is exactly what is needed.
His same example using floor();
$totalsec=XXXXXXX; //Replace the X's with a int value of seconds
$daysarray = floor( $totalsec/86400 );
$partdays = fmod($totalsec, 86400);
$hours = floor( $partdays/3600 );
$parthours = fmod($partdays, 3600);
$min = floor( $parthours/60 );
$sec = fmod($parthours, 60);
echo "days " . $days . "
";
echo "hours " . $hours . "
";
echo "minutes " . $min . "
";
echo "seconds " . $sec . "
";

If your given a number of seconds and you want to turn it into Days, hours, minutes, and seconds:
(this is very useful when using the Unix Time Epoch to find the difference from one time to the other)
For Example:
I posted in a bb at one date.. when I post a Unix Time Epoch was marked..
Then When I go back and view it again 2 weeks later I generate the Unix Time Epoch for the current time.
Then take the current time - the posting time, this gives the number of seconds since the post.
Then use the below equations to get days, hours, minutes, and seconds since the post was made:
$totalsec=XXXXXXX; //Replace the X's with a int value of seconds
$daysarray = explode(".", ($totalsec/86400));
$days = $daysarray[0];
$partdays = fmod($totalsec, 86400);
$hoursarray = explode(".", ($partdays/3600));
$hours = $hoursarray[0];
$parthours = fmod($partdays, 3600);
$minarray = explode(".", ($parthours/60));
$min = $minarray[0];
$sec = fmod($parthours, 60);
echo "days " . $days . "
";
echo "hours " . $hours . "
";
echo "minutes " . $min . "
";
echo "seconds " . $sec . "
";

The fmod() function is useful as the integer modulus operator (%) is limited in its range of precision.
Making the assumption that any operator has arbitrary precision is not portable.
I created a sample code here and ran it off a random virtual server. Do note the output may vary according to your environment but it is sufficient to illustrate the possible gotchas.
$checksum = crc32("The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.");
$divisor = 256;
$a = sprintf("%u", $checksum);
echo "sprintf crc32 output a = $a, to divide by $divisor\n";
$r = $a % $divisor;
echo "% operator: r = $r \n";
$r = intval(fmod($a, $divisor));
echo "fmod function: r = $r \n";
$r = bcmod($a, $divisor);
echo "bcmod function: r = $r \n";
sprintf crc32 output a = 2191738434, to divide by 256
% operator: r = 255
fmod function: r = 66
bcmod function: r = 66
Integer arithmetic operators do not have the precision to work correctly in some applications. In such situations, fmod() can be used in place of the modulus (%) operator.

for those w/o fmod, here is q lil' add-on function you can use to replicate it:
function fmodAddOn($x,$y)
$i = floor($x/$y);
// r = x - i * y
return $x - $i*$y;
john at digitizelife dot com ¶

In the process of writing an authentication process for my software, I came across the need for a permissions function. Basically, I wanted to use prime numbers to indicate a specified permission 'group' or 'category'. For example, the categories could be asigned a prime number as follows;
/* Categories */
2 - Blue
3 - Red
5 - Green
7 - Yellow
Then, a permission level can be assigned to a user as follows;
/* Permissions */
3 - Bob
10 - John
42 - Steve
210 - Mary
Using the prime number assigned to the specified category, you can specify access to each category by multiplying the allowed categories together. For example, Bob only has access to Red, whereas Steve has access to Red, Blue and Yellow.
Only prime numbers work because the resulting permission number can only be devided evenly by 1, itself, and one of the prime numbers. So, a script can be written to look for the multiples of the permission number. Here is what I came up with;
function get_perm($auth) {
/* initialize variables */
$perm = array();
$count = 0;
for ($x = 1; $x <= $auth; $x++) {
$result = $auth / $x;
if (!ereg("[.]", $result)) { // is whole number
$n = 0;
for ($y = 1; $y <= $x; $y++) {
$result = $x / $y;
if (!ereg("[.]", $result)) { // is whole number
if ($n == 2) {
$perm[$count] = $x;
The function starts by looking for multiples of $auth (the given authorization number [42]). Then it checks to see if that multiple is prime. If it is, the script inserts the value into array $perm.
When called, the function will return the array of permissions for the given authorization number. For example;
$auth = 42;
$perm = get_perm($auth);
$perm will now contain the numbers; 2, 3, 7 since 2*3*7=42. The values can be parsed by using a simple loop.
/* count number of permisions */
$count = count($perm);
/* print permisions */
while ($count > 0) {
echo "$perm[$count]
";
If there is a more simple way to acheive the previous results, please feel free to comment (and e-mail me). I orignally thought PHP was able to do this simply by mod($auth). However, I was wrong.

It was a long time ago and Jeanne Wakatsuki was only 7 years old, but a surprise attack at a place she had never heard of was about to change her life forever.
It was the morning of Dec. 7, 1941, when Jeanne waved goodbye to her father who was leaving from San Pedro with his two boats to catch sardines for the canneries on nearby Terminal Island.
But the boats almost immediately turned around and came back when the fishermen got the news that Japan had bombed Pearl Harbor.
Soon after, Jeanne and the rest of her family, taking only the belongings they could carry, were imprisoned in Manzanar, now a historic site 230 miles northeast of Long Beach. Anti-Japanese hysteria gripped the nation, resulting in forced dislocation, internment and property seizure of thousands of families of Japanese descent in Southern California.
The Wakatsuki family's experiences during this tragic time is described in the book, "Farewell to Manzanar," written by Jeanne and her late husband, James D. Huston, and published in 1973. It was adapted in a made-for-TV movie in 1976.
Jeanne, now 77 and living in Santa Cruz, will discuss her compelling memoir and autograph books on Saturday at the Long Beach Main Library Auditorium at 101 Pacific Ave. A reception begins at 1 p.m., with a discussion at 1:30 p.m.
This Long Beach Library California Reads event is made possible with support from Friends of the Library and Cal Humanities in partnership with the California Center for the Book. Admission is free.
When the Wakatsuki family got to Manzanar, they found cramped living conditions, badly prepared food and swirling dust blowing everywhere. Family life was extremely difficult to maintain. More than 10,000 people were in the camp.
In December 1944, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the
Jeanne's father bought a car and took his family to Long Beach. In her book, Jeanne compares the overpacked car to an Oklahoma family moving west during the Depression.
The Wakatsukis found a small apartment at the Cabrillo Homes housing project on Long Beach's westside. Jeanne entered Stephens Middle School and then Poly High School, where she spent the l0th and 11th grades before the family moved to San Jose. Jeanne fondly remembers her time at Poly as a drum majorette for the Jackrabbits.
"We had the best-looking uniforms, beautiful green and gold with fur on the back like little bunnies," she said.
In April 1972, Jeanne, now married, visited the Manzanar camp with her husband and their three children for the first time since she left as a little girl. Memories came flooding back to her, memories she had kept hidden for years.
"Many people, including me, had kept this experience hidden. We never referred to it. There were feelings of guilt. I didn't tell my husband about my experience until after we were married," she said.
Her husband of 52 years died three years ago.
"Farewell to Manzanar" is a coming-of-age book for a young girl who was forced to grow up more rapidly than most. Themes running through the book include the dangers of racial stereotyping and prejudice, the difficulty of discovering your own identity and family relationships.
Asked how she came up with the title, "Farewell to Manzanar," Jeanne said it meant a lot of things.
"It meant I was letting go of things I had suppressed for years," she said. "Manzanar had become almost like a dream to me, like it almost didn't happen. It was a traumatic experience I was finally able to face up to. My 1972 visit there helped me with my own self-perception and identity."
In her speeches, Jeanne said she discusses what happened to her and the state of democracy in the United States and the world. Why does she keep up the hectic pace of speeches across the state?
"We must continue to educate people, especially young people," she said. "We can't let something like this happen again. Our country is made up of immigrants. We have a Constitution holding us together in the United States. This is very rare in the world today. We must use it to be better and to have more humanity."

Anthrax is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis. It can occur in humans when they have been exposed to contaminated animals or tissue from these animals.
Different types of anthrax infections can occur. These include:
Anthrax is treated with antibiotics. All forms of anthrax can be fatal, especially if not treated.
The anthrax vaccine protects against anthrax. It does not contain cells that cause anthrax.
The following people (aged 18 to 65 years) should get vaccinated. Those who:
These people should get 5 doses of the vaccine in the muscle. The first dose should be given when there is risk of exposure. The other 4 doses should be given at 4 weeks and 6, 12, and 18 months after the first dose.
Those who should not get vaccinated include:
It is not believed that anthrax can be spread from person to person. If an outbreak occurred and a large number of people were exposed to the bacteria, the US would give antibiotics and vaccines to everyone who was exposed.

The "fiscal cliff" is hours away. And Americans are angry.
Across the country, millions are fed up with a Congress that seems unable to get some important things done.
"We need Congress to represent the people, not two arrogant parties that can't see middle ground," Garry Benner says.
"Nowhere else in this country can you get paid for ... years and not do your job," Tom Jeffries says.
By posting their views on Facebook, Benner and Jeffries joined a growing chorus of millions who are venting through social media.
The messages, which include videos sent to CNN iReport, are "so useful, because the people in Washington need to hear from the everyday American," says Ana Navarro, a Republican strategist and CNN contributor.
Some are furious with Republicans for fighting against allowing tax breaks for the nation's wealthiest to expire, despite an election that made clear that a majority of Americans support the idea.
"Asking Republicans to give up money is like asking the sun for water in the desert," Thomas Hannsz complains.
Others say Democrats and President Obama aren't doing enough to cut spending. "We need to cut entitlements & spending & get people off" government reliance, Candria Crisp writes.
One of the most striking, and disheartening, iReports comes from Shannen Bazzi, an 18-year-old student of international affairs at George Washington University.

FSC Unfinished Bamboo
For homeowners looking for the ultimate in versatility, FSC Unfinished Bamboo is the place to go. With unfinished flooring products one can choose whichever stain they prefer, be it a dark walnut or a less conventional green or red. Some may choose to simply seal the bamboo as-is for a completely natural flooring look. Whatever look homeowners wish to achieve, the FSC Unfinished Bamboo collection from Nikzad can give it while being environmentally friendly at the same time.
FSC Unfinished Bamboo Design Options
FSC Unfinished Bamboo flooring is available in natural vertical grain, natural horizontal grain, carbonized vertical grain, and carbonized horizontal grain. Regardless of graining pattern, each option features an elegant square edge and 6 5/8 inch widths. FSC Unfinished Bamboo is extremely versatile on its own, but if one wishes to mix it up even more, this collection can be combined with choices of other collections as well such as FSC Designer, FSC Prestige, or FSC Pacifique Strand. Even EcoTimber's EcoBamboo Collection could be incorporated into a flooring design with the FSC Unfinished Bamboo collection.
As far as patterns go, many things are possible with FSC Unfinished Bamboo flooring. One could create a border around a room using a darker finish while leaving the majority of the floor open and light. A tiling look can be created by staining FSC Unfinished Bamboo various colors and using small cuts to inlay throughout the floor. A homeowner may wish to create a variance of tones by using 3 or 4 similar shaded stains every few planks or simply go for a solid and sophisticated look by using one color exclusively.
Environmental benefits of FSC Unfinished Bamboo flooring:
- All FSC certified collections from Nikzad are rated based on sustainable and responsible harvesting practices.
- Bamboo matures at a fraction of the rate of traditional hardwoods, requiring only a maximum of 6 years rather than 60.
- Bamboo is technically a grass and as such does not require replanting in order to continue growing.
FSC Unfinished Bamboo Durability
Bamboo is harder than oak, one of the hardest hardwoods available. With proper installation and care, and FSC Unfinished Bamboo floor will last for many years. Nikzad offers a 25 year residential and 5 year commercial warranty, but life expectancy exceeds this generous warranty period. To prolong the life of this beautiful flooring product even further, homeowners might consider placing rugs under furniture and in areas that receive the most traffic.
Caring for an FSC Unfinished Bamboo Floor
Owners should sweep or vacuum bamboo floors daily or at least every other day to prevent small particles of dirt from scratching the surface. A soft bristled broom or sweeping product that uses static electricity to trap dust particles will work better than a traditional broom. Vacuums should have a hard floor attachment and never be used with the beater brush engaged. Mopping should be done with a damp, never wet, mop using only plain water or a very mild detergent that is rinse free.

Yeah, gates seem to be the next step. I definitely want her to feel able to crawl around without too many limitations. I have blocked all of the dangerous stuff, closed all doors to other rooms and stairs. Now our only issue is the cat food. She is in love with one of our cats and I think she wants to be her. She follows her everywhere including the food bowl and she wants to play in it too : ) its cute but frustrating. Again, she completely ignores me when I tell her no. I am thinking about gating off the kitchen but it helps me out that she can follow me in there while I'm doing dishes and stuff. UGH! Love the crawling, hate the dangers : )

Introduction | Measurement | Comparisons | Conclusion |
Launched in October 2012, the Nikon 1 V2 is a not unexpected update to the Nikon 1 V1, which debuted in September 2011. The Nikon 1 Series cameras are hybrid cameras with interchangeable lenses. In the case of the V1 and V2, they fall at the upper end of the segment, offering more features and a higher performance level than their more consumer oriented brethren, the Nikon 1 J1 and J2.
Featuring a 14.2megapixel 'CX' sized CMOS sensor and an EXPEED 3A processing engine, the camera claims to offer high resolution images. An ISO range from 160 to 6400 suggests Nikon feel it will perform well in low light too.
The AF system is another area of interest as the V2 is able to switch automatically between a 73-point system using phase detection and a 135-point system based on contrast that uses the camera sensor for AF. If you're interested in capturing motion, the V2 has that covered too, with up to 15fps shooting speed when using AF or 60fps when using single shot shooting.
All of this suggests the Nikon 1 V2 should be a formidable tool for capturing high quality images. Let's see how it stacks up in the sensor tests.

Nikon 1 V2: Evolution, stasis or regression?
The review misses the whole point of this camera. The V2 has a huge attraction, by using the FT-1 Mount Adapter it is possible to mount pretty much any Nikon DSLR lens. Taking into account the dslr like autofocus and the X2.7 crop factor the excellent Nikon AF-S VR 70-300 f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED (around £330) becomes a 190-810mm lens, just great for birds and wildlife.
The lens, FT-1 and camera would weigh around 1100gr and cost $1300ish (but will come down). An APS-C camera with similar spec would weigh close to 5000gr & cost $9000ish. Sure, its a fact that the resolution of the APC-S camera would be superior, but would it be 3900gr & $7700 superior? Reply |

Gotta' give them credit
You gotta' give Nikon credit; it's a dead-end product, but they are doubling down, which is commendable service to those who bought into the system.

Re: Gotta' give them credit
I usually don't feed the trolls, but how a camera with solid IQ, and blazing fast AF, and a huge buffer (capable of 12 fps with the J1 and 16 fps with the V1) a dead-end?
So Nikon with it's first try made a camera with a smaller sensor that is competitive with many larger sensor cameras like the EP3, and absolutely demolishes the competition when it comes to processing data, fps, PDAF on the sensor, etc. The Nikon 1 sounds alive and well to me. Few will lose sleep over it over your dislike of the Nikon 1 and tons of people will continue to buy it. Nice try though. Reply |

English smallsword hilts in gold or silver-gilt, set with colored enamels, were the specialty of the London goldsmith James Morisset. The majority were created for presentation to British naval officers during the Napoleonic wars. This example is inscribed on the underside of the shell: "The Committee of Merchants of London presented this sword to Lieutenᵗ John Burn for his active and spirited conduct on board His M.S. the Beaulieu during the late mutiny at the Nore in 1797.

By Tom Wulf
In early 2009, 34,000 American workers lost their jobs and one of retail's greatest stories of entrepreneurship abruptly came to an end. More than 250,000 people—families, suppliers, supporting businesses—were impacted directly by the closing of Circuit City Stores, Inc. The 60-year-old retailer, with a presence in every major U.S. city, seemed to just disappear.
The Circuit City story began in 1949, when young entrepreneur Sam Wurtzel opened a small TV store in Richmond, VA, after he learned that the South's first television station was going on the air. Over the next 20 years, Sam grew his company into a 100-store chain. His son, Alan, became CEO in 1972 and created the ground-breaking superstore format that evolved into Circuit City. When Alan retired from the board in 2000, Circuit City was a Fortune 500 company with more than 600 stores and 60,000 employees.
Jim Collins hailed Circuit City as a shining example of exceptional management practices in his 2001 best-seller, "Good to Great." Yet even then, cracks were beginning to show in the company's foundation.
The story of Circuit City's meteoric rise and catastrophic fall reveals myriad leadership lessons. It also underscores the critical strategic role that training and development play in a company's continued success.
Good to Great
For its first 50 years, Circuit City (originally called Wards TV) was a pioneer in the rapidly changing consumer electronics industry. Some examples of what made the company great:
A unique and powerful consumer offer: In 1975, Alan Wurtzel transformed the retail landscape in America by creating the first big-box superstore with a focus on Savings, Selection, Service, and Satisfaction. His "4 S's" were captured in policies and processes that were easily understood by the customer, and easily executed by his employees. Circuit City offered a low-price guarantee, a 30-day satisfaction guarantee, and a huge selection of products—which it delivered, installed, and repaired as necessary. A complaint was considered "an opportunity to make a friend." Recognizing that customers could help identify ways to improve its business, Circuit City created a survey department that called thousands of customers each year to learn about their shopping experiences.
The best-trained sales counselors in the industry: Every new Circuit City Sales Counselor attended a week of classroom training, practicing customer service and selling skills with a professional trainer. That was supplemented with a strong in-store mentor program and self-training. Sales managers received a continuous stream of lesson plans and facilitator guides from the home office to conduct weekly sales training. In addition, the commissioned pay structure rewarded Sales Counselors for learning as much as they could about new products. As a result, customers could expect a superior shopping experience with friendly, knowledgeable assistance.
Extraordinary career development opportunities: Circuit City grew from a dozen superstores to more than 600 in a period of 15 years. That explosive growth required an exponential increase in store, district, and regional managers —the majority of whom were promoted from within. Circuit City invested heavily to ensure its
management selection, training, and retention strategies were the best in retail. Large bonuses were awarded to store managers for every new manager promoted from their location. In the late 1990s, more than 3,000 managers each year attended position-specific, week-long management training classes in Richmond.
Great to Gone
So how and why did Circuit City spiral into oblivion? To summarize its fatal flaws:
Overconfidence and complacency: Circuit City was the No. 1 performing stock on the NYSE for the decade of 1980 to 1990. With that track record, Circuit City became overconfident, taking its eye off its competitors. In 1990, a relatively small
retailer named Best Buy began testing its new superstore format in the Midwest. Customers seemed to prefer the no-pressure/non-commissioned sales environment at Best Buy and its superior selection of computers, games, and music. Circuit City failed to respond, perhaps because leadership was distracted by its other business ventures, CarMax and DIVX. In 1998, Best Buy surpassed Circuit City in annual revenues and never looked back.
A poor decision-making process: Suddenly in the No. 2 spot, Circuit City began making wholesale changes to its business model to try to regain the lead, but didn't test those changes first. In 2000, for example, Circuit City exited the major appliance business to make room for more computer products, thinking it was a more profitable use of floor space. In reality, the company began sending loyal customers to its competitors. Circuit City easily could have tested the impact of abandoning major appliances in any subset of its stores first, and would have seen the unfortunate result. The company soon thereafter eliminated its world-class training programs; terminated 3,900 sales positions; sold off its bank; and outsourced its IT services—all without testing the potential impact of these
decisions. Morale throughout the company suffered, the customer experience deteriorated, and customers sought better service elsewhere.
Favoring Wall Street stakeholders over customers and associates: As Circuit City's market share continued to decline, so did its stock price. At the goading of Wall Street, the company spent $920 million to buy back its stock—money it could have used to reinvest in its associates and outdated stores. The stock price briefly rose to $30 a share in 2006, then promptly dropped back down to $5 a share in 2007 when the company made its biggest public-relations blunder: firing 3,400 store associates because they were paid "above the market rate," then offering to hire them back for lower pay. When the financial crisis of 2008 finally hit, the company had run out of cash, and vendors didn't want to extend credit to Circuit City to buy merchandise. On November 10, 2008, the company declared bankruptcy.
Many businesses today face challenges similar to Circuit City's. With institutional memories fading due to aggressive record-retention/destruction policies, today's leaders would be wise to reflect on Circuit City's 60-year history of best practices and mistakes. Any executive considering cuts to its training and development programs should study Circuit City first.
A Tale of Two Cities: The Circuit City Story is Tom Wulf's feature-length documentary. Alan Wurtzel and CarMax co-founder and CEO Austin Ligon are interviewed extensively, along with former Circuit City executives, associates, and vendors—many of whom lost life-long careers when the company closed in 2009. It's available now in a two-disc DVD set, with nearly two hours of additional features including in-depth commentaries on Circuit City's rise and fall. It can be purchased for $24.95 at http://circuitcitystory.com.

11 Themed Featurettes - Release Date: 1998
Two neurotic and sharp-tongued urbanites--gay lawyer Will (Eric McCormack) and straight interior designer Grace (Debra Messing)--delight in their volatile but enduring friendship as they share a sumptuous New York apartment.
Sweeping into the mix are Will's unapologetically queeny friend Jack (Sean Hayes) and Grace's wildly eccentric assistant Karen (Megan Mullally).
Much like Seinfeld, the humor on Will & Grace springs from self-obsession, petty jealousy, and compulsive interfering in each other's lives--basically, the building blocks of human nature.
The show's writers apparently feel compelled to keep the lead characters warm and likeable in the usual sitcom mode (which hardly seems necessary, as McCormack and Messing are naturally engaging). As a result, it's Jack and Karen who get free reign to be truly obnoxious and ridiculous--which, of course, makes them incredibly funny and charismatic.
Hayes and Mullally rise to the occasion, ripping through absurd situations and arias of narcissistic wit with dazzling panache.
Will & Grace's plots routinely center around scenarios that could feature a married couple or two same-sex roommates: Will and Grace bicker over buying a dog, find their relationship tested by apartment renovations, or discover they're both pursuing the same guy--standard sitcom material that the gay factor gives a clever spin.
Though their relationship gets in the way of their sex lives, the two take so much pleasure in each other's company that they can't help but stick together--a surprisingly chaste theme for such a culturally groundbreaking show, but one that Will & Grace's addicted audience undoubtedly appreciates.

Why "Science Fiction/Horror"?
This is an excellent film. I have no idea why it is classified as "Science Fiction/Horror". It is a DOCUMENTARY. Häxan is such an excellent documentary that it conscientiously cites its references for the various still images and scenarios shown. It is also a feminist film, displaying (for its time) a profound understanding of the tangles belief in (an evil form of) witchcraft produces; and giving new insight into the formula "damned if you do and damned if you don't". Someone here said the link between "modern" (ca. 1922) hysteria and historical witchhunts was incomprehensible, but I feel the analogy was clearly shown. The same curious traits, largely associated with female physiognomy and behavior, which fed the flames of the witch-hunters' madness gave way in the early Twentieth Century to Freudian diagnoses of "hysteria". Both led to the locking-up of women, although the more recent interpretation led less often to their immediate deaths.
I recommend viewers to adjust their screens to black&white (even if there is an historical basis for the tinting/"colourization", it is distracting from the composition and natural contrast of the scenes) and to select almost any classical music in their libraries to play as a background (although I have not heard ALL available DVD soundtracks, the ones I have heard were distracting).
Brilliant. Highly recommended.

good horror movie
i watched it a few days before halloween. it was a bit boring at first, but it becomes more interesting. i just don't understand the parallelism between the past-age witchcraft and modern-day hysteria. they're from very different worlds. still, i generally think it deserves a cult following.
by the way, SlomoG is right. the text is in swedish and not danish. i hope the original danish version still exists.

A Truely Fine Film
Thank-you for this picture. It is good for the sets, props, acting, costumes...so many things. I liked the end where they used "modern psychology" to explain away witchcraft. A good, must see.

Ouch! Haxan my skull! Find Me an Editor!
This film suffers from being waaaaaaay to long. A quick edit couldn't hurt.
That, though, is the only flaw in this film. Watch it and enjoy!

Actually the intertitles are in Swedish and not Danish.

MPEG2 not Better than MPEG4 pound for pound!
" Does anyone know how I can convert an MPEG4 to an MPEG 2 without destroying its quality, or easier still, download this as an MPEG2?
To convert it to MPEG4 use a software by VSO called ConvertXToDVD, it's easy to use. Do a Google search for it. The loss of visual quality from MPEG4 to MEPG2 will be very small, defiantly acceptable. MPEG4 is superior to MPEG2 (about 4 times better) for storage vs content. The visually best viewing moves available on this site are in MPEG4.

Poor Codex
This is an excellent film, and an excellent transfer, but the selection of MPEG4 or MPEG4 leaves much to be desired. Does anyone know how I can convert an MPEG4 to an MPEG 2 without destroying its quality, or easier still, download this as an MPEG2?

Haxan, an interesting film.
As I stated interesting. But I must scold IA on
a techinical point. This film is not color but tinted. Tints were used in silent films to express a mood or the case Norferstu to said it for shots of horror or day or night shots.

The program was officiated by Marvin Hampton, chairman of the committee that built the park and organized the Veterans Day Program.
The program began with a prayer led by Chaplain Marvin Mobbs, which was followed by the National Anthem sung by Colleetoe Sanders. After the anthem, the honor guard performed a 21 gun salute and taps was played. After this opening ceremony, Hampton introduced the keynote speaker, Randy Goodman.
Goodman is an Air Force veteran from Florence, S.C. He served more than 17 years in the Air Force, retiring in 1994 at the rank of master sergeant. Goodman entered basic training in July 1976 and graduated from the aerospace ground equipment school at Chanute Air Force Base, Ill., in December 1976.
Goodman's military decorations include the Meritorious Service Medal with one oak leaf cluster, the Air Force Commendation Medal with one oak leaf cluster, the Air Force Good Conduct Medal with four oak leaf clusters, the National Defense Service Medal and the Southwest Asia Service Medal with one device.
Goodman is a lifetime member of the Air Force Sergeant's Association and The American Legion. He currently serves The American Legion as state junior vice commander, state legislative liaison and as state employment committee chair.
His speech commemorated veterans who gave their lives in service to our country. He spoke about honoring veterans and their families and giving thanks to them for their service. Goodman gave thanks to the veterans who enter the workforce as fire-fighters and police officers. He also brought up points about the struggle of veterans and the problems they face such as homelessness and post-traumatic stress disorder.
"Born of their extraordinary accomplishments comes our extraordinary debt," Goodman said. "And for those accomplishments and for their dedication, we must always be grateful."
After Goodman's speech and the crowd's applause, Hampton gave a closing statement, thanking the audience and the veterans.
Hampton mentioned that this year's Veterans Day Program is the first in Cedartown to not have a veteran of World War I in attendance.
Sanders ended the ceremony by singing "God Bless America," to which the audience sang along under their umbrellas.
