The Sringeri Sharada Peetham or Sringeri Temple is located on the banks of River Tunga in the Chikkamagalur district of Karnataka. It is the first of the four Ammaya Peetham established by Sri Adi Shankaracharya in 8th century AD. Further, the word Ammaya Peetham means "Throne of the Veda".
Sri Adi Shankaracharya established four Peethams or Centers in the four corners of the country to safeguard and propagate the Vedas. The head of the Mutt is Jagadguru meaning "Teacher of the world". Although, the sringeri temple is there since the 8th century, but the history is available only for the period after the 14th century AD.
The Sringeri Temple Complex is huge and consists of many temples as mentioned below:
Sri Sharadamba Temple – The Temple consists of granite stones. The Mahamandapam also has huge stone pillars and have carvings of deities like Durga, Raja Rajeshwari, Dwarapalakas and Devis according to the Shilpa Sastras. The door of the temple has Gold covering and is unique because it has 8 panels with figures of Ashtalakshmi inscribed on them.
Sri Torana Ganapati Temple – The unique shrine is a simple silver door with an idol of Ganapati on the top. It is also customary for devotees to first have darshan of Torana Ganapati and then proceed to visit Sri Sharadamba.
Sri Vidyashankara Temple – The Temple exists since 1338 AD and shows Chalukyan and Dravidian style of architecture. The Garbhagrah is on the west side with Vidya Ganapati and Durga as the main deities. Also, Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva govern the other three sides.
Sri Janardhana Temple – The Temple exists since the 9th century. The Temple is for Lord Vishnu as Janardhana. The idol of Lord Janardhana has Sridevi and Bhudevi on both sides. Priests cover the idol with Sandal paste throughout the year.
Sri Adi Shankaracharya Temple – The idol of Sri Adi Shankaracharya is present in a pose of a Yogasana with four disciples and a Shiva Linga in front.
Sri Kodandaramaswami Temple – A small Temple dedicated to Lord Rama, Lakshmana and Sita is present on the right of the Sri Sharadamba Temple.
Besides these Temples, Sri Adi Shankaracharya established four guardian deities in the four directions to protect the town. They are Kalabhairava in the East, Anjaneya in the West, Durga in the South, and Kalikamba in North.
What is the history of Sringeri Temple?
According to the history of the Sringeri Temple, Sri Sharadamba is the presiding deity of the town of Sringeri. The original sringeri temple was small and a sandalwood idol of Goddess Sharada was there above a Sri Chakra. Moreover, Adi Shankaracharya carved the Sri Chakra.
Subsequently, Sri Bharati Krishna Tirtha and Sri Vidyaranya expanded and renovated the temple. Sri Bharati Krishna Tirtha substituted the sandalwood idol with the present golden idol.
Sri Sacchidananda Shivabhinava Narasimha Bharati raised the present structure in granite with polished granite walls around the sanctum and Sri Chandrasekhara Bharati consecrated the new temple in May 1916.
According to the history of the sringeri temple, the 32nd Acharya of the Peetham, Jagadguru Sri Vriddha Narasimha Bharati Mahaswamiji had a vision of the Ganapati when he was contemplating on resolving and issue in the mutt affairs. He offered prayers to the image of Lord Ganapati carved on the Torana of the door nearby. Hence, this resolved the problem immediately. Since then, the Ganapati became famous as Torana Ganapati.
According to sources, the Muslim invasion under Malik Kafur, destroyed the original idol made of sandalwood. During the Vijayanagara period, a gold statue of Sharadamba in a sitting position was there.
In the 14th century, the Vijayanagara empire gave royal patronage. The King granted the Peetham the rights over the secular administration of the land.
What is the legend of Mandanmisra?
As per the story, a noted scholar named Mandanmisra was famous for his debating skills and no one could win the debate with him. Seeing this, Goddess Saraswati descended on Earth as Upaya Bharathi and organized a debate between Shankaracharya and Mandanmisra.
The condition was that if Shankaracharya loses the debate, he would marry and have a family and if Mandanmisra loses, he will take up Asceticism. Upaya Bharathi handed each of them a garland and said that whichever garland dries up first, that person will lose the debate.
The debate lasted for 17 days and eventually Mandanmisra 's garland dried first and he lost the debate. Upaya Bharathi challenged Shankaracharya on a debate on marital life. After a time gap of one month, Shankaracharya won the debate. He begged Upaya Bharathi to follow him to a place he goes to frequently. She obliged on the condition that he will not turn back and look at her otherwise she will stop.
Mandanmisra was a disciple of Shankaracharya and he started the journey with Upaya Bharathi. On reaching the village of Sringeri, an unusual sight on the banks of River Tunga surprised him. A cobra was spreading out its hood over a frog in labor pains, to give it a shadow from the scorching mid-day sun. The sound of the anklets stopped and he turned back to look. Shankaracharya immediately installed the Sri Chakra on a rock there and installed Devi with the name Sharada.
The Goddess appeared before him and said that this would become famous as the Sharada Peetham and that she would stay at the Peetam to grace the devotees. Mandanamisra, now Sureshwara became the first pontiff of Sringeri Sharada Peetam.
What is the significance of Sringeri Temple?
The significance of Sringeri Temple is that Sri Adi Shankaracharya in 8th century AD founded Sringeri Sharada Peetham which is the southern Advaita Vedanta Matt. He had previously established three other Matts – Jyotirmath in the North, Puri in the East and Dwarka in the West (Know more about our Package).
Sri Adi Shankaracharya installed the idol of Goddess Sharadamba on the banks of the Tunga river.
According to beliefs, Lord Shiva gifted the crystal Chandramouleeshwara Linga to Sri Adi Shankaracharya. One can still visit the Linga and the Chandramouleeshwara Pooja takes place for the Linga every night at 8:30 PM.
Devotees believe that Goddess Sharadambika is the incarnation of Goddess Saraswati, who came to Earth as Upaya Bharathi. It is a common faith that by worshiping her, one can receive blessings of Brahma, Shiva, and Vishnu along with Durga, Lakshmi, and Saraswati.
In the eastern half of the structure of Sri Vidyashankara Temple, a mandap with twelve pillars is present. Each of them is adorned with twelve signs of the Zodiac in order. These pillars are arranged in such a way that the rays of the sun fall on each of them in order of the 12 solar months.
A large Sudarshana Chakra can be seen in the Janardhana Temple in the complex. It is believed that offering prayers to the Chakra can ward off the feelings of enmity towards other human beings. It is also believed to protect devotees from all evil and harm.
The ritual of Aksharabhyasa is sacred and fulfilling. The parents of kids in the age of 2-5 are given a slate and chalk or alternatively, a plate of rice on which they pray to Goddess Saraswati and the Guru to impart good knowledge and education to their children.
What is Sringeri Mutt?
Near Sringeri Temple, there is a famous monastery known as Sringeri Mutt which was established by Adi Shankaracharya in 8th century. Gurus of the mutt follow Advaita Vedanta philosophy. The gurus believe that the Brahman is the ultimate cosmic spirit and all gods in scriptures are just manifestations of Brahman.
They believe in the innermost self of the human being – Aham Brahma Asmi, which means "I am the Universal spirit".
The gurus at the mutt teach that an individual must imbibe the good habits of the guru in addition to revering and listening to the guru's teachings.
The mutt has produced so many scholars. The swamis of this matha consider themselves as the descendants of Sri Adi Shankaracharya.
The mutt runs a few colleges and a hospital. It also maintains some temples and Vedic schools across India. The Sringeri Temple is maintained by the mutt. The mutt also strives hard to preserve the natural beauty of Sringeri.

AOL Time Warner lost a massive $54.2 billion in the first quarter of 2002 due to the declining value of some of its assets. The loss is the biggest in US corporate history. The company attributed this to an accounting charge of $54 billion, factored in to reflect a decline in value of some assets acquired with Time Warner.
Advertising sales for the media giant continue to be slow – AOL subscribers and cable connections grew, however.
Revenue for the quarter, which ended March 31, increased 4 per cent year-on-year to $9.8 billion.
Earnings reached $2.05 billion – a three per cent jump over the $1.98 billion reported in the same quarter of 2001.
"There is a lot of good news, but one area of real disappointment – weak advertising sales," said Dick Parsons, CEO-elect at AOL Time Warner. Advertising revenue lagged, and is not expected to increase until next year, said Parsons.
Box-office gains help offset loss The company reduced its full-year guidance, predicting growth in the range of 5 per cent to 9 per cent. Previous forecasts put growth in the range of 8 per cent to 12 per cent, Parsons remarked.
"We are assuming no recovery in the economy," he said.
Subscription revenue surged 14 per cent to $4.7 billion over the same quarter last year, the company said. These gains came because of subscriber growth in both the AOL and cable businesses. The company also received a boost from its blockbuster films Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (the latter rendered entirely on Macs) which are among the highest-grossing movies of all time.
The AOL unit's earnings, however, declined 15 per cent year-on-year – though subscriptions rose, the business suffered from a 31 per cent drop in advertising and commerce-revenue.

I first heard about peeling gels from my Aunt (who is really into Korean beauty products & skincare) who recommended that I use a peeling gel to gently exfoliate my acne-prone skin. They're very different from traditional exfoliators that we have here in the States. Luckily, I happened to already have a generous sample of Naruko's tea tree peeling gel. I used that sample to the very last dollop, and I don't think I will ever go back to traditional exfoliators after using peeling gels.
Peeling gels are different from your traditional exfoliating scrub because they don't contain any of those hard granulated ingredients such as salt, sugar, or nut shells, that we here in the States commonly associate with "exfoliation." Instead, peeling gels are usually clear gels that when you rub onto your skin, your dead skin literally "clumps" into small balls. This may sound painful, but rest assured it isn't! And, it is somewhat satisfying to see all that dead skin being removed! Afterwards, you're left with noticeably smoother skin when you touch your face.
I highly recommend peeling gels if you're acne prone, have sensitive skin, or are just looking for a gentler exfoliation from your skincare. For those of you with oily skin, you may use the peeling gel as often as 2-3 times a week. For those of you with drier skin, try it once a week first and then see how your skin reacts.

'Branding demands commitment…Striking chords with people to stir their emotions.' This is a quote from Sir Richard Branson, the CEO of Virgin. This is a mantra that the most successful brands follow; they resonate on a personal level with their target markets. This results in loyal, sometimes rabid, fan bases that willingly promote their products and services.
Experts from Red Rider Creative, an ad agency from Utah cite the following techniques on how you can emotionally connect with customers.
Creating a Unique Experience
You create a loyal, and even sometimes rabid, customer base by making them feel they are special to you. One of the ways to achieve this is to provide them with distinct experiences; this includes using appropriate language that your audience uses regularly, quick responses to queries via email or social media, posting product or service testimonials, and even using your customers in some promotional materials.
Valuable Insights
Apple distinguished itself from other devices because of the feeling of exclusivity they created, even if other gadgets had similar or even superior features. Provide your potential customers with a special 'something' they can't find anywhere else. This can come in the form of an old topic with a distinct take or perspective, or a service or product they can't find anywhere else.
Be an Authority
When a person perceives you as an expert, they will hold your opinion in high regard. This perception puts you in a position of authority with a lot of influence and sway. This position enables you to elicit the emotions and actions you want from your intended audience.
A Compelling Story
A strong narrative is far more memorable compared to advertising pitches and commercials. A story resonates and stays with those that watch or read it, because someone may have gone through the same experiences.
These are some of the ways you can connect with your audience emotionally. Implement these to relate to your customer base and keep them loyal.

|Violence and Accommodation as Caste Hierarchies Wane in Rural India
|James Manor
|2010, 2012
|Research Grant
For over 20 years, we have had solid evidence to show that across most of rural India, the acceptance of caste hierarchies by the so-called lower castes has substantially waned. Caste, which remains strong, has increasingly come to denote difference more than hierarchy. Caste hierarchies have decisively shaped social and political processes in villages for generations, so this is a fundamentally important change.
This research project sought to understand the implications of this change for social interactions and power dynamics within villages, where most Indians still live. As the old dominance of higher castes is challenged, especially by Dalits or ex-untouchables, what ensues: more violence or something else?
Research over two years among villagers and social scientists in nine varied regions of India, which support from the Foundation made possible, has found that we mostly see something else. Dalits continue to suffer humiliations, and there are occasional spasms of violence as formerly dominant castes seek to enforce the old hierarchies. When it occurs, it is often more savage than it was 20 or 30 years ago. But surprisingly, it is much more common to find grudging accommodations between higher castes and Dalits.
Those accommodations result not from a change of heart among higher castes, but from a change of mind. There is next to no evidence of empathy among them for Dalits. Their self- restraint when inter-caste tensions arise is the result of calculations that violence will ensnare higher castes in unacceptably severe difficulties.
Dalit organizations and other progressive civil society organizations now extend into far more rural localities than before, so that violent actions will be reported to the media which will publicize them, to government bureaucrats, and to politicians who often intervene because they need Dalit votes. A 1989 Act to combat atrocities against Dalits may be invoked. It places the burden of proof upon alleged perpetrators and, even when it does not result in convictions, it entangles the accused in years of expensive, time consuming legal proceedings which make it hard for them to get on with other important things (developing lands, investing in enterprises, educating and marrying their children, etc.)
This study, unlike many which focus mainly on the sufferings of Dalits, examines the lives of both Dalits and higher castes since it is about caste interactions. It also explains how most accommodations are forged. In so doing, it identifies a trend which may make accommodations more difficult in the future. The same changes which have facilitated Dalit challenges to caste hierarchies are also eroding the authority of village elders within both Dalit and higher castes. That authority is essential if accommodations are to be forged and, once they are forged, are to be made to stick. So the encouraging trend toward greater accommodation may not endure, and inter-caste violence may yet become more common.

Saddle #1018
Another nice Circle Y saddle at a very reasonable price. Serial number 3660 1608 1097 04 saddle is marked equitation but is built a lot like a park and trail. Has some added silver of course. 16 inch suede leather seat. 3 way inskirt rigging and breast collar D's. The hardware on this saddle does show some minor corrosion, the leather is all good and tree and horn are tight. Doesn't show a lot of use. Would be a great trail saddle or you could use it to show in also. Has semi bars with a 61/2 gullet measurement and 12 inch bar spread. Priced at $575

INDIANAPOLIS – The Pacers don't think Patrick Ewing can beat them. It is Ewing's job the remainder of the Eastern Conference Finals to make Indiana pay for that disrespect.
The sight of Ewing going against Dale Davis or ancient Sam Perkins, one-on-one, with no defensive help in sight, must have been startling to the Knicks. Ewing last night continued his strong post-season play with 21 points and mirrored the Knicks' total team effort. Ewing had little difficulty scoring but all sorts of trouble guarding his man in a 102-88 loss to the Pacers.
Ewing too often allowed Rik Smits uncontested looks at the basket, and that is never wise, as the 7-4 Smits has the softest of touches. Smits was the catalyst in a 35-point first-quarter blitz with 10 of his 16 points, hitting 5 of 6 shots. Ewing was reluctant to move out on Smits, a trend that cannot continue.
"We gave 'em too much," Ewing said. "I don't know how many points they scored but we scored enough points to beat them but we didn't step up on defense."

KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- Administrators at a metro high school are addressing racism at school. Piper High School administrators held a community forum on Sunday evening to have important discussion about racism and student safety.
On Wednesday someone scrawled a message on a bathroom stall at Piper High School that says "Kill All N******." After discovering the message school administrators held an assembly to address it on the following day. On Friday students held a sit-in as a silent protest to racism and the districts response.
During Sunday evening's community forum many topics such as student safety, school policy, racism and diversity were all discussed.
"I think it was great, I think they had good dialogue, it didn't get too heated, but there were challenges to parents and administration," said Morris Letcher, Piper of a recent Piper High School graduate.
But students say Sunday night's meeting didn't ease their frustrations or calm their fears about safety at school.
"I really don't feel safe here because anything could happen, they could bring a weapon to the school and harm us so anytime they put an action word in front of a race it's never good so no I don't feel safe," said one Piper High School student.
Students say a similar incident involving racism occurred during the last school year and they don't feel like enough disciplinary action was taken against the person who did it.
"If the school says that it has a zero tolerance, it should be zero tolerance period, it shouldn't be you get suspended for a few days or a week," a student explained.
During the meeting administrators pointed out that this is just the first in a long process of improving race relations at school.
"I'm an optimist, I'm confident, I live by hope and action so I think that the students have gotten the administration and the district's attention so once we just keep dialogue and keep working with these values and core things that need to change we will be working towards what needs to happen," said Letcher.
A police report has been filed and several students have been interviewed by school administrators. As of now no one has been disciplined in connection to this incident.
School leaders say since it happened in a bathroom and there aren't security cameras there it's harder to figure out who is responsible.
The school plans to host similar community forums in the future. The next school board meeting is scheduled for January 29TH at 6:30pm.

All the files you need in one zip (adb+SuperSU+fastboot+Windows drivers):
Step 1. Put your Nexus 10 into Bootloader mode by turning off your Nexus 10. Then hold down Volume Up, Volume Down, and Power buttons together.
Step 2. Once in bootloader menus, connect a micro USB cable from your Nexus 10 to your computer. Update the drivers on your computer.
Step 3. Let's unlock the bootloader. This WILL ERASE EVERYTHING on your Nexus 10, make a BACKUP before you DO THIS!!!
Open a command prompt or terminal and type:
cd Downloads
cd Nexus10Root
fastboot oem unlock
For Mac, type:
./fastboot-mac oem unlock
For Linux, type:
./fastboot-linux oem unlock
Step 4. Go to your tablet and unlock your Nexus 10.
Step 5. Next let's flash CWM recovery, so type:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-184.108.40.206-manta.img
For Mac,
./fastboot-mac flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-220.127.116.11-manta.img
For Linux:
./fastboot-linux flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-220.127.116.11-manta.img
Step 6. Type the following but DO NOT PRESS ENTER yet!
adb sideload CWM-SuperSU-v0.98.zip
For Mac,
./adb-mac sideload CWM-SuperSU-v0.98.zip
For Linux,
./adb-linux sideload CWM-SuperSU-v0.98.zip
Step 7. Choose "Recovery" using Volume buttons and your Nexus 10 should boot into CWM Recovery.
Step 7b. (ONLY FOR WINDOWS, Mac and Linux skip this step) Now, open up Device Manager on your computer (if using Windows, otherwise skip this step) and make sure you see some kind of "ADB Interface" driver. If you don't, quickly update the manta with exclamation mark with the same drivers you used earlier. Reboot into bootloader then choose "Recovery" and enter CWM Recovery again.
Step 8. Choose "install zip from sideload" and hit ENTER in your command prompt/terminal for the command you typed earlier in Step 6.
Step 9. If it was successful, you should see Superuser app and root being installed. If not, try again from Step 7 and make sure your drivers are installed if using Windows.
Step 10. That's it for now, you should be able to root your Nexus 10.
Thanks to shimp208 for the sideload method, ChainFire for awesome SuperSU and to all the developers who are worked on CWM recovery! Now waiting for a stable version of CWM…

We are 100% donation-based and each event is contingent on the monies raised. That said, a HUGE thank you for allowing us to continue this unique opportunity for the kiddos and their families. Donations for this year's event can be made by visiting: https://www.gofundme.com/QuietSanta2015.

program and to hear all the positive support for our efforts!
December 16, 2013
The 2013 Quiet Santa event was a success. We had 40 children visit us this year; which is double from 2012. Many families reported that this was their first time getting their child to visit with Santa. Our photographers did an AMAZING job! I highly recommend Raspberry Lane Photography and Roots to Wings Photography. These ladies went above and beyond for us and the families that attended. We received news coverage from CBS (chan. 3) and NBC (chan. 15). You can view the video from NBC here: http://www.nbc15.com/home/headlines/Quiet-Santa-offers-calm-experience-for-kids-on-autism-spectrum--235952461.html

December 2012

(We promise to get a better costume and decorations in the future.)

Within "Reclaim The Darkness", KING creates the perfect soundtrack to tell tales of an old world, a world forged by the gods and walked by giants. Tales of dark and bleak battles, never-ending winters and the wonders of time and space. "Reclaim The Darkness" will take you on a journey of profound melancholic black metal paths; epic while remaining raw, majestic while retaining a primitive atmosphere.
"We are excited the time has come and "Reclaim The Darkness" will see the cold light of day. After the first glimpses of KING's music over the past months, we're now eager for the album to be heard as a whole. The journey has been begun"." - KING

The GUI
I was lucky to find a professor who enjoys robotics as much as I do. She was my advisor for my Master's Thesis. Others might have trouble finding professors and/or students with matching research interests. That is why we built this platform.
What it does
It indexes students and professors, and generates matches like a dating website; however, the compatibility rating is based on the shared areas of research interest and proximity.
How we built it
We designed the front end in HTML and CSS, made it dynamic with JavaScript, coded the back end in Django and hosted it on Heroku.
Challenges we ran into
Filtering search results and displaying them in an intuitive way.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Fluid and responsive UI; hosted on Heroku.
What we learned
CSS should not be trifled with.
What's next for Scholaborate
Improve heuristics for filtering, allowing people to create their profiles.

Lisbon, Portugal – At every fashion week, there are inevitably some shows that mark the whole edition in a positive way. This year when looking at the calendar of shows, my eyes immediately noticed the name of DAWID TOMASWZESKI. No stranger to the catwalks of Lisbon, the Polish fashion designer had previously presented at the Spring/Summer 2012 edition of the ModaLisboa. He show at that time marked the spirit of everyone present.
This said, it goes without say that I was very excited to see what he was bringing this time. And he did not disappoint at all. His new collection for Fall Winter 2015/16 is amazing and super classy. Inspired by contemporary art he uses materials such as wool and silk to bring his creations to life. The models were constantly dressed with long and elegant dresses in dark colors.
Followed by heavy fabrics, we see little Chanel-like jackets in tweed and pieces with lots of volume, texture and geometric patterns. These patterns resemble broken glass. They eventually made this collection a glimpse of sophistication and so easily so when compared to many of the other shows.

Emerging African Directors' Films Compete in Scotland
By Katie Miller
Published October 7, 2009
Seven short films by up-and-coming young African filmmakers have been short-listed for the 2nd annual Africa in Motion (AiM) short film competition in Scotland. KATIE MILLER writes.
The films—spanning fiction and documentary—come from across the continent and include: a silent and visually stunning experimental short from South Africa; a Tunisian love story set in an unlikely place; a passionate tale of courage in a Mozambiqan fishing village; a haunting South African tale of three friends harbouring a dark secret; a beautifully shot story about outsiders in a Moroccan village; a superbly acted story of a Rwandan friendship tested to its true limits; and a Malian exploration of freedom and independence.
The films short-listed are: Continue reading
On-line African Film Library Launched
This is fantastic news and I am very excited. All you have to do is register to access all these films.
Late last week, M-Net launched the African Film Library – the largest electronic library of feature films, shorts and documentaries from 50 years of African film production. Over the past three years, M-Net has been negotiating the rights to almost 600 works in English, French, Arabic and Portuguese and digitising them.
The African Film Library, launched on Wednesday, 23 September 2009, consists of award-winning works from more than 80 filmmakers including Senegalese Ousmane Sembene and Djibril Mambety, Yousef Chahine from Egypt, Kwaw Ansah from Ghana and Haile Gerima from Ethiopia.

Tadias Magazine
By Martha Z. Tegegn
Published: Thursday, September 17, 2009
New York (Tadias) – For filmmaker Haile Gerima the travails of life are much like moving images – "a constant journey of restlessness and complexity, until the final rest."
Haile's latest film Teza is set to make it U.S. premiere in Washington D.C. tonight. The film focuses on the tumultuous years of the Mengistu era, as told by an idealistic Ethiopian doctor who recounts dreams and nightmares.

Heart of Fire – playing at ICA (London) from Sep 25th -8,10-11 Oct
A drama about Eritrean child soldiers from the director of The Story of the Weeping Camel, inspired by the controversial memoir by Senait G Mehari.
The father of 10-year-old Awet (beautifully played by Letekidan Micael) hands her over to the Eritrean Liberation Front (known as the Jebha), where she falls under the influence of a charismatic leader, although her size prevents her from being a fully fledged part of the rebel militia. A powerful film that, by focusing on one story, attempts to represent the experiences of child soldiers everywhere.

The Rose of Rhodesia (1918), one of the earliest feature films made in South Africa, went online on 10 September at the website of Australian film journal Screening the Past.
A five-reel romance centred on a stolen diamond, an interracial friendship, and an anti-colonial uprising, The Rose of Rhodesia impressed contemporary reviewers with its daring realism, spectacular outdoor locations, and casting of African actors in prominent roles. Considered lost for most of the last century, the film may claim to be the first fictional treatment of Zimbabwe in cinema.
Now fully restored by the Nederlands Filmmuseum, The Rose of Rhodesia is being streamed together with a new musical soundtrack by acclaimed silent film composer Matti Bye. Accompanying the film is a special issue of Screening the Past, edited by Stephen Donovan and Vreni Hockenjos, in which specialists from a range of disciplines offer the first detailed analysis of this remarkable cinematic discovery.

The Day God Walked Away (Toronto Film Festival 2009, 18 -19 Sept.)
"The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting."—Milan Kundera
The brief history of films about the 1994 Rwandan genocide seem to range wildly, from glossy Oscar bait like Hotel Rwanda to the intimate, poetic beauty of Lee Isaac Chung's Munyurangabo to the damning documentary Shake Hands With The Devil. But a look under the hood shows the most difficult truth about these films, whether they feature a big name movie star, a foreigner directing local non-actors or reportage on the moral failings of the international community; most of the films about the Rwandan genocide feature a distinctly Western touch and, unable to capture the emotional experience of the genocide itself, refract the issue of the Rwandan experience through the lens of something akin to post-traumatic stress disorder.
Even the brilliant Munyurangabo, which focuses on reconciliation in the years after the genocide, is only able to capture the ghostly remnants of those actual, murderous days, and Hotel Rwanda puts the murder on the other side of an iron fence, creating something akin to a Schindler's List for the Tutsi people. Cinema has proven wholly inadequate as a substitute for memory in telling the story of the murderous rampage that took place in Rwanda.
The Day God Walked Away, directed by the Belgian cinematographer Philippe van Leeuw (making his debut), takes a massive step forward in using the language of cinema to convey the horror of the genocide. Instead of making the genocide a pretext for grand statements about personal responsibility or the cultural and tribal conflicts that drove the Hutu majority to murder their Tutsi neighbors en masse, van Leeuw forgoes psychology, culture and the massive scale of death, distilling the genocide into the experience of a single Tutsi woman named Jacqueline (Rwandan pop star Ruth Niere, making a powerful debut).
In his writing on the film, van Leeuw describes his inspiration for the story; "In April 1992, some friends of mine returned from Rwanda following the emergency evacuation… Before they left, they hid Jacqueline, their children's Rwandan nanny, in the attic of their house in Kigali, hoping that she would escape the massacre. They never knew what became of her."
Thus begins van Leeuw's film, which the imagines the genocidal experience from Jacqueline's perspective; Hiding Anne Frank-like in a dirty attic while the Hutu militas search the home of her employers.

The Figurine raises the bar of Nigerian filmmaking
September 4, 2009 05:33PMT
By Lerato Umah
The Figurine raises the bar of Nigerian filmmaking
Yet to be screened by the press and still in the post production stage, The Figurine – produced by , adequately portrays the advances made in the Nigerian movie industry. The film has intricate plot that represents the true nature of the different facets of the lifestyles of Nigerians. In ancient Yoruba land, set in modern Osun State, a priest brings forth 'Araromire', the goddess of good luck and fortune who bestows wealth upon the people for seven years. After finding a figurine in an abandoned shrine whilst in National Youth Service Corps camp in the town of Araromire, two young friends go on from a life of hustling in Lagos to become successful businessmen facing seemingly normal issues to do with friendship, love, and family. Bizarre occurrences lead to the pointing of fingers at the ugly stranger in the house – the figurine they found seven years earlier. Starring Ramsey Nouah, Kunle Afolayan, Omoni Oboli and Funlola Aofiyebi, this N70 million production sells the 'Lagos Life' in an inviting manner.

igus® Video of the Week – Tribo tape dance
Video of the Week – CFRIP® tool
Stripping the insulation jacket from high quality cables is a very time consuming operation. If performed manually with a sharp cutting tool the insulation of the inner core cables can be damaged, and may result in a safety hazard or expensive scrapping of material. The risk is compounded when long lengths of cable jackets have to be stripped.
igus® has introduced the CFRIP® tear strip, along with a special plastic hand tool, that reduces cable insulation stripping times by up to 50% – saving both time and money. Requiring no cutting operation with metal tools, the outer jacket (inner jacket on shielded types) can be quickly and safely removed to the desired length.
This feature is now available on 569 e-chain® cables, including the new CF78.UL PUR control cable, providing quick and easy cable striping without damaging the core insulation or outer jacket. The CFRIP® technology received the IF Design Award in 2016.
iglidur® I3-PL – wear-resistant tribo-powder for 3D SLS printing
parts are three times more wear-resistant than those printed from standard materials
igus® has expanded its 3D printing material offering further with the introduction of a material suitable for Selective Laser Sintering (SLS). With the familiar wear resistance of the four already available tribo-filaments for Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM), the new iglidur® I3-PL tribo-powder is for printing special 3D parts using the SLS technique.
In the igus® test laboratory, plain bearings made from the new material have been compared with those printed from conventional SLS materials. After pivoting, rotating and linear testing, initial results indicate that the iglidur® I3-PL parts are at least three times more wear resistant.
"Selective laser sintering produces a 3D part with better precision, compared to parts printed using the FDM technique," explains Robert Dumayne, director at igus®. "Another advantage of the new iglidur® I3-PL material is that the parts can achieve a much higher strength due to the pressure in the SLS method."
An additional benefit of using the laser sintering is that no support structures are needed. This is because the loose powder, which is not melted by the laser, acts as the supporting material. Thus less finishing work is required on the components and the parts can be used directly.
Video of the Week – clever plastics for any bearing application with iglidur®
This week's video of the week explores the versatility of iglidur® plastic plain bearings from industrial tribo-polymer specialist, igus® – delivering high performance across the widest range of applications and industries.
iglidur® polymer plain bearings offer versatile, low cost, lubrication and maintenance-free operation across the broadest range of industries and applications, including automotive, aerospace, food and packaging, agriculture and construction. iglidur® plastic bearings are clean and dry-running, eliminating dirt and debris build-up, as well as lightweight and low-wear – with all iglidur® materials extensively tested in the igus® test lab in Cologne, the industry's largest facility for testing plastic plain bearings.
This is why igus® can always offer a solution, even for demanding applications with high loads or those requiring resistance to extreme temperatures, UV rays or chemicals. Furthermore, using iglidur® plain bearings in your application can reduce costs and at the same time increase service life.
e-spools ease PA speaker array manoeuvring in Liverpool University venue
Over the last two years the University of Liverpool has run an ambitious £14m [€18m] project to improve functionality and the utilisation of space, and to enhance the overall student experience at the Guild and Reilly Building, which is central to the Liverpool University campus. The project included technical upgrades and refurbishment for three venues – Mountford Hall, the Stanley Theatre and The Courtyard.
The largest of these is Mountford Hall, Liverpool's second-largest concert space with a capacity of 2,300 people which is ideal for live events and conferences. It also has its own bar, which has been moved to a more central and accessible location as part of the refurbishment. The Hall is in heavy, regular use by both day and night. It runs a full programme embracing Students' Union activities and all genres of music and performance, including the BBC's 'Question Time'. This has been presented here as recently as March 2016; the university will host the show here again in June.
A significant part of the upgrade budget for the Hall has been invested in a permanent PA and lighting installation. Performers can just 'plug and play' while audiences enjoy a high-quality audio-visual experience. Any potential delays and increased costs often arising when performers bring in their own, temporary PA and lighting systems have been managed and minimised.
The new L-Acoustics sound system comprises amplifiers, cabling and suspended (or flying) speakers chosen and set up using acoustic modelling to give optimal clear sound and sonically uniform coverage around the venue. However, some flexibility is required within the fixed installation, to allow for the different audio projection needs of visiting performers. This can be provided by raising and lowering four independent main PA Loudspeaker speaker arrays to achieve the best sound balance for differing Performances.
Traditionally this speaker manoeuvring was carried out manually – a more labour-intensive procedure that was not only costly and time-consuming but also potentially dangerous as it involved staff working at height and also within the roof void to access cable routes and rigging. On occasions this could also lead to untidiness with the venue, in the form of unsightly trailing speaker cables Overhead.
nother solution that has been adopted in many situations is to interconnect the fixed and moveable audio elements through slip rings. These allow flexibility in extending and retracting both electrical signal and power cables, however their operation depends on a break in the conductive paths. This is undesirable in high power, high quality systems such as the Mountford Hall installation because of its adverse effect on both reliability and potentially signal quality.
A similar situation existed for the overhead lighting trusses, which also needed to be raised and lowered to rig equipment to suit different event requirements.
Adlib Audio, the sound and lighting designers, suppliers and installers for the entire upgrade project, turned to igus®for a superior alternative. For the speakers, this was delivered in the form of four custom e-chain®and e-spool cable management systems, one for each of the four main speaker arrays. These provided no-break connections between the amplifiers and the speakers, eliminating reliability and signal quality issues. It also meant that speaker raising and lowering became a simple, automated procedure that could be conducted at will prior to rehearsals and sound checks. The delays, costs and health and safety issues associated with calling on extra crew and working at height for manoeuvring were eliminated.
The e-spool system is also very compact while being able to carry many cables in a confined space. Its interconnection of the amplifiers and speakers is unique. An e-chain®carrying the cables from the amplifiers is guided by one roller, and always maintained at exactly the correct length and tension by an integrated retaining spring. In the start position, the e-chain®is completely rolled up to save space. The twisterband connects the roll to the shaft block, which acts as the interface to the speaker cables. There is never any tensile load on the cables, while cable droop is eliminated to save space and keep working areas clear.
A similarly flexible and robust solution for the lighting trusses was used. Known as 'zig-zag' e-chain®, it uses a space-saving and unconventional approach facilitated by the modular design of the e-chain®. When the trusses are at maximum trim height, the collapsed e-chain®is stored in a 'basket' above each lighting truss. If the truss is lowered, the e-chain®automatically unfolds. When the truss is raised then the e-chain®is stored automatically into its default position into a basket over the truss.
Adlib Audio had not used e-chain®or e-spool products previously, but after reviewing the alternatives was convinced they would prove beneficial to the project's success. The e-spool's ability to carry a large number of cables, including different types – for power, signal and data – was a significant factor in the decision.
"We were able to work closely with the igus®engineers at all times," commented Roger Kirby, installations director at Adlib Audio. "They attended regular meetings and visits to site, and were always available for advice and support. They also helped us select the best of multiple designs, and spent time in testing the lift and drop actions, chain pitch and chain basket position. This turned out to be time well spent, as everything continues to run excellently. The system looks neat, and can cope with pressure and frequent movement.
"Overall we felt that igus®offered us a large catalogue range of high specification items coupled with the knowledge and skills to develop specific solutions for our needs. After this first project, we will definitely consider using the e-spool technology again. From a cabling and reliability point of view it works brilliantly."
Video of the Week – easier industrial 3D printing with iglidur® l150 tribo-filament
This week's video of the week introduces the latest tribo-filament material for 3D printing from industrial tribo-polymer specialist, igus®.
Previously, igus® introduced the world's first structural plastic filament for use in 3D printing. 50 times more wear-resistant than conventional 3D printing materials, it was developed for engineers that need to create structurally robust prototypes or even small batch samples for real-world tests. A number of variants are available to suit different application requirements.
While still offering very good wear-resistance, this new iglidur® l150 variant is even easier to process and print compared with other igus® tribo-filaments. It can be used in any 3D printer for which a nozzle temperature of approximately 250 °C can be set – with or without a heated printing plate, if an adhesive foil is used
Video of the Week – take a tour through the igus® test lab
In this week's video of the week, we take a tour through the igus® chainflex® test lab in Cologne, the world's largest facility for testing moving cables.
As part of its commitment to customer success, igus® has operated an extensive test lab for more than 20 years. This state-of-the-art 2750m² facility carries out more than 2 billion test cycles per year. Conducting more than 700 tests simultaneously, four test robots put igus® chainflex® cables and energy chain® carriers through their paces in a series of demanding material tests, including torsion testing and -40ºC cold chamber test stations.
More than 5000 measurement locations are monitored continuously, taking 1.4 million electrical measurements per year. As well as rigorous and comprehensive testing to igus® standards, customer-specific application testing is also undertaken. All tests are systematically documented; this exacting process is part of how igus® is able to offer customers a 36-month guarantee on its cables and carriers, giving them the reassurance that their system will deliver a reliable long life.
igus® showcases bearings and cable management systems at Automechanika Birmingham
Automechanika, one of the world's leading exhibitions for the automotive supply chain and aftermarket, is coming to the UK for the very first time. During the show, which runs from 7th – 9th June at Birmingham's NEC, igus® will be showcasing its innovative, tribopolymer bearing products and cable management systems on its stand (11E22).
"Dedicated to meeting the growing needs of manufacturers and engineers, we offer a huge range of cost-effective, lightweight and maintenance-free solutions for a variety of automotive applications," says Matthew Aldridge, managing director, igus®.
With 40 standard iglidur® materials, ranging from iglidur® X for corrosive environments to iglidur® J260 for plastic shafts, igus® offers the world's broadest range of friction-optimised polymer plain bearings. In addition to low weight, benefits include wear resistance, low noise, corrosion resistance and cost. Areas of application include windscreen wipers, convertible roof frames, door hinges, seats, chassis, the steering system, gearbox, and pedal box, or even within the engine compartment. Today, over 200 million iglidur® plastic bearings are installed in cars worldwide.
With increasing pressure on car manufacturers to save as much weight as possible in every component, every gram counts. iglidur® polymer bearings are up to seven times lighter than their metal counterparts, thus reducing the overall weight of the car and helping save fuel. Car seat applications are a good example where there has been a migration from metal on metal to metal on plastic to fully plastic. In addition to their low weight, the noise damping and quiet running properties of iglidur® bearings, which take a high static load, are beneficial to the driver's comfort.
The requirements on cable management systems in vehicles are becoming ever more complex. Onboard, there is a growing number of moveable, electrically-controlled functions and settings on hinged and sliding doors, seats, speakers and windows, as well as security and locking systems. Conventional power systems, such as gliding contacts, are susceptible to intermittent contact with loss of signal and no permanent current feed. In addition, simple plastic tubes and rubber grommets offer no defined guidance or radial stability, and cable ties are only suited to static applications.
igus® E2 micro cable management solutions are suitable for universal applications with different types of motion and travel, and protect and guide power, data, and fibre optic cabling, as well as gas, air and liquid hose lines. These energy chains are already onboard in a range of car systems for applications with very high dynamic loads, tight working spaces and long service life requirements. Available as one and two-piece systems, from 5mm inner height and bending radii from 100mm, these lightweight energy chains feature a cable-friendly interior and offer high torsion resistance.
For simple motion applications or infrequently moving cables, the E1 system is a cost-effective solution for large volumes, yet offers the same protect and guide functionality as the E2 micro. The new "e-rib" simply clips onto existing corrugated hose for stabilisation, preventing unintentional sideways movements thus enable several hoses to be guided next to each other.
Throughout the show, members of the igus® team will be available on Stand 11E22 to take visitors through the benefits and potential applications of their bearing products and cable management systems, as well as provide insight into the full range of igus® products suitable for automotive applications.
