EXCLUSIVE: The Killing's Sofie Grabol [pictured] leads the cast.
Arrow Films has acquired all UK/Ireland rights to The Hour of the Lynx and plans a release in late 2013.
For full production information
Søren Kragh-Jacobsen (Mifune) directs and Lars Bredo Rahbek (Flame and Citron, Superclasico) produces. The Match Factory handles international sales on the film, which is in the final stages of post production.
Kragh-Jacobsen also wrote with Jonas T Bengtsson and Tobias Lindholm. The story is based on a play by Swedish author Per Olov Enquist (The Visit Of The Royal Physician).
The cast is led by Sofie Grabol and Soren Malling, who both starred in The Killing, alongside Borgen's Signe Egholm Olsen and Borie Ahlstedt, whose credits include Fanny & Alexander.
Grabol plays a vicar whose life is changed when she tries to help a violent and troubled inmate.
Arrow head of acquisitions Tom Stewart said: "We're incredibly thrilled to be acquiring this exciting new film and to continue our superb relationship with the team at The Match Factory together with establishing a strong relationship with everyone over at Nimbus Film. With such a loved cast and our ever-increasing portfolio of all things Nordic, this will be a wonderful release to take to both UK & Eire audiences.
"We are happy to partner again with Arrow Films, who share our enthusiasm for the new project of this great director. Arrow Films will do a great job, as they did already on other Scandinavian titles," added Brigitte Suárez of The Match Factory.
Producer Rahbek added: "We are delighted at the early and rapidly surging international interest in The Hour of The Lynx. Søren has done an incredibly strong film which we trust will touch and thrill in equal measure. We look forward to be working with Arrow Films to bring this film to audiences as discriminating as the British and the Irish."

Very Small Anna: Pineapple Jammy Tarts
Get the Recipe
Brunch pastries can take a lot of forms. Laborious, yeasted, multi-layered affairs like danishes and croissants are classic pastry basket staples. But what if you've got a pastry chef who loathes excessively early mornings and doesn't appreciate being bossed around by tiny little microbes who eat sugar and belch carbon dioxide?
Well, then you better hope your pastry chef is a master of freezer-stocking. Luckily, not only can I make treats that freeze well both raw and baked, I'm a preserve addict. Left alone with enough fruit for any length of time, I'll inevitably turn it into jam. So when I decided to let the line cooks at my last restaurant do the baking for brunch service, I left them with tubs upon tubs of Jammy Tarts in every flavor imaginable.
What's a Jammy Tart? Well, it contains a generous amount of handmade preserves. I tried a lot of flavors, from classic blueberry and raspberry to exotic papaya-cream cheese and decadent peanut butter-banana—but spicy pineapple was the first and the most delicious. Sandwich that between two rectangles of buttery crust and you have the ultimate simple breakfast or brunch pastry with no kneading or rising involved.
About that crust. You'll find the mixing method to be similar to that of most standard flaky pie crusts (pâte brisée in technical terms), but with an extra step. It results in that classic clash of both flaky and tender. It actually happened completely by accident the first time I made it—I incorrectly converted the recipe I was using and and added twice as much butter as I meant to, only realizing what I did as I saw the flour disappear into a disproportionately large amount of butter. But I decided to forge ahead and add an equal amount of flour and see what happened.
What happened was I got a result so unbelievably flaky that people asked me if I'd used puff pastry. If it can impress professional cooks, imagine how cool you'll look serving these to friends and family.

Leaving Corporate Life Behind, Brittany Darrington Finds the Perfect Balance at WeWork
6 desks in Houston Galleria
Working at Home Wasn't Working for the Entrepreneur, Who Teaches Others How to Start Businesses
Brittany Darrington, founder of a launch pad for Millennial entrepreneurs called The BD Team, says working from home wasn't working for her.
"Prior to joining WeWork, I was running my business out of my house," she says. "My spouse said that so many people were coming in and out of our living room, I finally needed to find an office of my own."
So for the first time since she founded the company five years ago, Darrington looked for office space. After visiting WeWork Houston Galleria, she knew she had found the right place.
"Being in a WeWork makes you so excited to come to work," she says. "I was already a morning person, but I've been coming in even earlier because I'm so excited to get my day started. I'm literally the first person to walk in the door every day."
But her five-member team needed convincing—at least at first.
"They all came from working the corporate 9 to 5, and didn't want to give up the whole startup vibe," says Darrington. "When they saw the environment at WeWork, they were like, 'Oh yeah, we can do this.'"
Darrington and her team were impressed by the space itself. They have a beautifully designed office of their own, but when they need to meet with colleagues, they can book a spacious conference room. When they are on deadline for a project, there are plenty of spaces where they can work without any distractions.
"I learned something very important from the other members at WeWork: you don't have to check off everything on your list. End your day at a reasonable time and enjoy life and enjoy people. It's important for the long haul."
For Darrington, the flexibility of working from any of the more than 200 WeWork offices is key.
"I travel so much, going to workshops and conferences," says Darrington. "Being a member of WeWork gives me the option to work from anywhere around the world."
How did Darrington join the startup world? Several years ago she was working in the marketing department a Fortune 500 company, which didn't make much use of the skills she picked up in art school.
"I was bored because I could literally could finish my job in two hours," she says. "So I started hosting all these gatherings for other millennials. And I found out there there were a lot of people out there who were also not feeling fulfilled by their jobs."
To use her design skills, she started a fashion-forward T-shirt company called Oil Digger Tees. She eventually got her line into more than 740 store nationwide.
"What I found out during that time was that no one was teaching people how to start a business," says Darrington. "So I started immersing myself into how to grow a business from scratch. I interviewed entrepreneurs running really successful businesses in all sorts of industries."
That led her to launching her second company, the BD Team. Her focus is millennials who have always wanted to launch their own companies, but didn't know how.
"I've had the pleasure of working with thousands and thousands of people on their entrepreneurial journey," says Darrington. "And going beyond, helping them figure out how to generate revenue."
One of the lessons she teaches is balancing work and life—a lesson she learned herself at WeWork.
"When I was working at home, I found myself never turning off completely," she says. "I was working 24/7. I learned something very important from the other members at WeWork: you don't have to check off everything on your list. End your day at a reasonable time and enjoy life and enjoy people. It's important for the long haul."

In 1993, Epson entered the inkjet printing market with the innovative Epson Stylus 800, and introduced its market changing printhead with Epson Micro Piezo technology, making a permanent technological advancement which remains at the forefront today. In 1994, Epson introduced the Stylus Pro, the world's first 720 dpi colour inkjet printer. In 1998, the Epson Stylus Pro 800 was selected by NASA for the STS-95 mission and Epson introduced the first colour inkjet printer with built-in USB connectivity. Epson is a global leader dedicated to driving innovations based on compact, energy-saving, and high precision technologies. Epson continues to develop breakthroughs in technology and applications including industrial robots, smart glasses and sensing systems, as well as print, projection and display, building on more than 60 years of innovation of Seiko Epson, which began as a watchmaker.
Epson SureColor SC-P printers incorporate a number of Epson proprietary technologies including Micro Piezo, PrecisionCore, Variable Sized Droplet Technology (VSDT), Exotic Thin Film Piezo (TFP), Low Vibration Meniscus Control, UltraChrome® Inks and Look-Up Table (LUT).
Epson introduced the award-winning proprietary piezo-electric technology, called Micro Piezo in 1993, and Micro Piezo has made Epson inkjet printers renowned for their high quality output, reliability, and low running costs. Today, Epson is the only company that uses the piezo-electric printhead throughout its inkjet printing device range, from the smallest personal photo printer to the largest industrial system. Epson Micro Piezo technology fires ink droplets onto a surface by applying an electric charge to piezo-electric elements, which bend when an electrical charge is passed through them. Using piezo-electric technology, the amount of ink pulled into and expelled out of the nozzles can be very accurately controlled by varying the electrical charge given to the piezo-electric elements. This enables the printhead to eject ink droplets in a range of precisely controlled sizes. Ink droplets are propelled instead of heating the ink, which results in a wider range of printing applications and media compatibility, including paper, and industrial applications, fabric printing, indoor filter fabrication and applying patterns to electronic circuit boards. Epson Micro Piezo technology minimises impact on the environment because it uses ink very efficiently and places ink droplets accurately, to prevent wasted paper. The printheads last the lifetime of the printer.
Epson PrecisionCore printhead technology features new enhancements including a new wave form, improving dot placement and accuracy, delivering Epson's renowned industry-leading output quality at high speed. Inch for inch, the high-resolution Epson print chips are one of the fastest inkjet printing technologies in the world. PrecisionCore piezo elements each fire nearly 50,000 times per second. PrecisionCore has up to triple the nozzle density of conventional Epson piezo printheads. The nozzles are roughly 20 microns in diameter and deliver small, round, repeatable dots about 40 microns across. This dot precision creates sharp text and fine lines. PrecisionCore uses the power of the piezo crystal to increase reliability. The piezo element generates a voltage that can detect in milliseconds, whether its firing normally and self diagnose its health. The automatic nozzle check system uses advanced ink droplet detection to eliminate misprinting caused by nozzle clogging. Ink drops with an electrical charge are read by a sensor which takes less than 15 seconds, requires no media and consumes only a miniscule amount of ink. PrecisionCore's micro-mechanical firing elements avoid material limitations faced by heat-based systems. More colourful and durable ink formulations with higher concentrations of colorants and binders can be used compared to heat-based systems, allowing for printing on a much wider range of substrates. PrecisionCore Scalable Technology is designed for products ranging from industrial systems such as large-scale label presses to desktop printers. Its modularity allows PrecisionCore print chips to be arrayed in both moving serial and fixed line printhead configurations.
Epson Variable Sized Droplet Technology (VSDT) refers to the capability of Epson's Micro Piezo printhead technology to eject ink droplets of different sizes by varying the electrical charge give to the piezo-electric elements. Epson's printers can achieve up to five variable sized ink droplets as small as 1.5 picoliters. Such superior precision results in sharp, rich, and virtually grain-free text and images, key qualities strongly associated through the years with Epson's renowned photo-quality prints. The low temperature of operation makes Epson Micro Piezo printheads compatible with a wide range of inks, including dye and pigment types, solvent inks, and ultraviolet cure inks. Epson Micro Piezo printheads run much cooler than thermal inkjet ones and can provide reliable operation for the life span of the printer. Epson ink cartridges do not require a printhead attached, making the ink cartridges more affordable, and environmentally friendly. Epson Micro Piezo printheads use less power than thermal inkjet printheads because the piezo-electric method of ink ejection is far more efficient.
The Epson Exotic Thin Film Piezo (TFP) printhead and Low Vibration Meniscus Control technologies deliver a superior level of ink placement accuracy and extraordinary photographic quality. The Epson TFP is the highest resolution 1-inch wide high performance inkjet printhead with 360 nozzles per channel. It is capable of using up to 8 separate ink channels simultaneously. Epson Low Vibration Meniscus Control technology delivers highly accurate dot shape and high precision impact point control for extreme dot placement accuracy by precisely controlling the curvature of every ink droplet within each nozzle before releasing it onto the media. There is an ink repelling coating which dramatically reduces nozzle clogging. Variable size droplets, as small as 3.5 picoliters in the SC-P printer series decrease the print times and optimise the photographic quality.
The award-winning Epson UltraChrome® Ink developed for the latest generation of inkjet professional printers is a significant advancement in print technology. Epson has developed several variations of UltraChrome® Ink, for different needs and applications. Epson UltraChrome® HD/HDX Ink sets are pigment inks with high pigment density and Resin Encapsulation technology delivers superior gloss uniformity for more stability and even surface and gloss, and high stability on a wide variety of media including fine art, speciality and plain paper. Epson UltraChrome® HD/HDX Inks can be used on a wide variety of media while maintaining outstanding light fastness and made for professional display and sales applications. Epson UltraChrome® HD/HDX Inks deliver two times the density of conventional pigment inks, a larger colour gamut, deeper blacks, and superb water resistance. Epson UltraChrome® HD/HDX inks are ideal for fine art, photography and proofing.
Epson Look-up Table (LUT) Technology optimises colour quality and assures maximum colour fidelity across the spectrum. With the expanded colour gamut of the Epson UltraChrome® HD/HDX ink, achieving precise colour accuracy requires a significantly more complex conversion programme. Epson LUT Technology maximises use of the colour gamut and improving ink utilisation by seamlessly integrating high-fidelity ink primaries. Developed through fundamental research conducted jointly with the Munsell Colour Science Laboratory at the Rochester Institute of Technology, Epson LUT Technology reduces colour fidelity, reduces graininess in skin tones, improves colour inconstancy, and ensures smooth gradations between colours. To print a given colour on an inkjet printer, colour information (either CMYK or RGB) must be converted so that the printer knows which ink colours to blend, and in what amount. To perform the extremely complex calculations required for image data to ink conversion, a massive reference table of colour data called a LUT is used. Image quality is to a large extent determined by the choice of which ink colours to blend, and how much of each should be used. Epson LUT Technology automatically selects the optimum combination to accurately express the desired colour with the 8-colour SureColor SC-P6000 and SC-P8000 Series printers.

Silent clockFrom Wiki 24The silent clock from the end of Day 6A silent clock is a rare event on 24 that features a clock with no beeping at the end of a scene or episode. It is used to punctuate highly emotional scenes, often surrounding the death of a significant character.Because of often drastically varying circumstances, as well as the infrequency of the silent clock, there does not appear to be many patterns for use of the device. Some silent clocks are accompanied by noises in the foreground or background, while others have faint music underneath.To date, only one silent clock has occurred before the end of an episode.The effect of the silent clock could be accentuated by the split screen that is put in place immediately prior, depending on the circumstances. Upon the death of Teri Bauer, the screen was split between the scene of Jack cradling Teri's body alongside black and white clips from Day 1 12:00am-1:00am. Immediately preceding Ryan Chappelle's death, there was no split screen, possibly to create the expectation that the episode was not quite over and he would somehow escape, until the appearance of the silent clock, confirming that he had indeed died. By contrast, there was also no split screen leading to the final moments of Day 6 5:00am-6:00am, but instead of heightening tension, this omission was presumably to preserve the tenderness of the farewell between Jack and Audrey.The silent clock following David Palmer's assassination attempt at the end of Day 2 and the silent clock during Day 7 as Renee is being buried alive were used to create tension and highlight the seriousness of the situation.

Florida detectives hope new images will help ID victim in 1989 cold case murder
Forensic experts from a Florida university have helped detectives recreate the likeness of a man murdered nearly 25 years ago, working with little more than a pile of bones, teeth and patches of mummified skin.
The remains of the unidentified man, who was shot twice, were found in 1989 near an orange grove by an artifact hunter in Dade City, Fla. Authorities believe he had been dead for as long as two years.
"The body was found fully skeletonized," said Detective David Boyer of the Pasco County Sheriff's Office. "There was just bones."
In a scene straight out of television's "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," digital facial imaging conducted by Erin Kimmerle, a forensic anthropologist from the University of South Florida, helped generate a composite sketch of the man. And by rehydrating and cleaning the man's mummified skin, Kimmerle determined he had several tattoos on his left arm, including those of a Confederate flag, a Nazi symbol and the initials "HFD."
The man's boots were significantly worn to the point that he may have walked with a limp or had a "strange gait," Boyer said. The body also was found with mismatched tube socks, Givenchy eyeglasses and had several missing teeth, as well as well-made dentures. Detectives estimate the man was between 30 and 50 years old.
Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco told reporters during a press conference on Monday that he's hopeful the Kimmerle's work will lead to new information in the cold case.
"There's somebody out there that once they see this photo, it's going to bring back some memories," Nocco said. "Somebody knows something out there."
Boyer said the man's hair length and style is based on statements from the man who found the body, recalling that his hair was dark reddish-auburn and long enough to be worn in a short ponytail.
"We're really looking for the public's involvement in this case because that's what's going to solve it," he said.
Nocco, meanwhile, said he'd like to solve the case to give the man's relatives some closure.
"Even if it's 20 years later, we're still going to look into these cases," Nocco said. "Not only for the fact that we want justice to be served, more importantly, there's a family out there that lost a loved one. They need resolution."
Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact the Pasco Sheriff's Office at (800) 706-2488.
Nocco also praised the high-tech work by Kimmerle and Boyer in the case.
"A lot of times we watch TV and we watch CSI and it's a nice hour-long show and everything's solved very quickly," Nocco said. "Well, I can tell you Detective Boyer and Erin Kimmerle, they're the real CSIs. They are really out there figuring out what is going on … When you realize the work that went into it, we're able now to identify the tattoos that were on him."

Several paintings, including Robert Jenkins Onderdonk's "Fall of the Alamo," and Sir Joshua Reynold's "Richard Barwell and His Son," were returned to their respective spots inside the Governor's Mansion last week. The Perrys will move back into the historic home this month.
Onderdonk's "Alamo," donated anonymously to the Friends of the Governor's Mansion in 1981, is considered the most historically accurate painting of the event; it will hang in the entry hall above the American Empire sofa.
The Governor's Mansion Collection is an expansive body of furniture, art, and mementos belonging to former first ladies, some of which dates back to the 1800s.
A $21.5 million appropriation by the Texas legislature funded most of the mansion's restoration after an arsonist set it ablaze four years ago.
"The investigation is still ongoing," said Tom Vinger, spokesman for the Department of Public Services. "Sketches of persons of interest are still current."

Jan Pienkowski's Haunted House: 3rd party support in 1997
So Media Station created in 1995 "Haunted House", a CD-i title you might remember. It was published by Reed Interactive in 1997. Again, a delayed project. The CD-i platform is known for its many "delayed projects". Some of them never saw the light of day (Tom & Tim, Discworld), some of them did at the very last moment (The Lost Ride, Creature Shock). We might be lucky that Reed took charge of publishing the title, otherwise Haunted House could easily have been a cancelled project as well.
It seems that Philips Media was only used for the distribution of the title to its channels.
"May 11, 1995--Reaffirming the company's commitment to providing outstanding interactive family entertainment, Media Station Thursday announced that the company is producing "Haunted House," an interactive adventure based on Jan Piekowski's world renowned pop-up book, for Reed Children's Books.
Philips Media will distribute "Haunted House" this fall on CD-ROM for the Windows platform and on the CD-i platform in Spring '96. The title will be demonstrated at Media Station's booth, West Hall No. 3524, and Philips Media booth, South Hall No. 1801 at the Electronic Entertainment Expo.
"We worked closely with Jan Piekowski to capture the ghoulish surprises featured in the bewitching, interactive world of `Haunted House,'" said David Gregory, chairman and chief creative officer of Media Station. "Media Station has brought to life the full creative vision of Jan Piekowski through lavish music and stunning animation, resulting in a fun-filled interactive experience."
"Jan has been in the forefront of creating involving products for children, long before the computer was a household word," said Sarina Simon, president of Philips Media Home and Family Entertainment. "We are very excited to be associated with Jan as he brings his unique talents to multimedia."
Players wander through the house and they encounter strange and unexpected creatures, fun-filled games and spooky challenges. Children will be captivated as they seek to unlock the dreaded cellar.
Jan Piekowski is one of the world's most famous children's authors and illustrators. Internationally known for his unique and clever children's books, he has written more than 60 books and, with the publishing of "Haunted House," led the resurgence of the pop-up book genre."

The New England Patriots are running a conga line at defensive tackle this offseason, adding Armond Armstead and Tommy Kelly while surprisingly dumping key 2012 contributors Brandon Deaderick and Kyle Love.
Next to join the line could be Sedrick Ellis. The former New Orleans Saints first-round draft pick visited the Patriots on Friday, Comcast SportsNet New England's Tom Curran reported.
The Saints considered re-signing Ellis before the draft, and the Arizona Cardinals reportedly had some level of interest, but he has been faced with a cold market for nearly three months. This is Ellis' first known visit since the onset of free agency.
One of the biggest busts of the 2008 draft class, Ellis made 70 starts with the Saints as a liability against the run. Although billed as a pass-rushing, three-technique tackle, Ellis has managed just 12.5 sacks in five seasons.
UPDATE: A source informed of Ellis' plans told NFL.com's Ian Rapoport on Monday that the defensive tackle will visit the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears this week. His market finally is heating up as teams free up salary-cap space with post-June 1 release designations going through.

My father is a list person. He is never without his legal pad jotting down all different activities and errands that need to happen – everyday it's the same thing… making a list of the tasks that need to happen for the next day. They're known fondly at our house as the "honey do" list – a term quipped by my mother.
|Weekend Honey Do's
Like father, like daughter… guilty as charged – I'm a list person too. I've got lists that break out my work responsibilities, home errands, crafty projects, exercise/running plans and dinner ideas. And, because I've been so busy traveling and having fun, my lists have been neglected.
This weekend I am planning to cross several off the list. Prepare to be amazed by the projects and meals I crank out… amongst them will include:
- Sew a new make-up pouch, something like this. I splurged this week and treated myself to new Lancome make-up. I'm in love with it and figured that new make-up deserves a new make-up pouch!
- 15K training run. I love to run and participating in "fun" runs is always something I like to do. As part of my training plan to get myself ready for the Portland Marathon this October, I'm taking part in several half marathons and other distance events. This weekend, in celebration of Earth Day, there's a 15K at Magnunson Park. See you there?
- SCRAP Challenge project! How is it already almost the end of April? I've got to get started on my SCRAP challenge project – and you can join me too. Take a look at my former blog post to find out more about the challenge.
- Mini-Lasagnas for Sunday night dinner with Michael's sister, Shana. How cute would it be to make up these individualize sized lasagnas?
What does your honey-do list have on it this weekend?

I'll share a couple ideas of my own, if you'll put one of yours in the comment section, and maybe give this post a share or Stumble. When commenting, a sponsor page will come up. In 5 seconds, you click "skip ad" and the comment form comes up. Give us your best suggestions, pranks, tips or whatever. Readers will come by here forever. So, please use the mouth you type to your momma with, okay? Thanks, from all of us.
Two pranks you can play on your best friends April Fool's Day:
1. This one takes friends. If you have a half-dozen or so, get them all together, along with the uninformed subject of the joke together in any one setting and ask the subject:
"Q: How many pancakes does it take to build a doghouse?" Your fellow conspirators start giggling, as does the subject. That's all part of it, even though the subject has no Earthly idea what is so damn funny.
They'll likely reply, something like: "I don't know. How many?"
"A: Six! You know why?! Because ICE CREAM HAS NO BONES! Like it's just the funniest danged old joke you could've ever told! At this point, your fellow conspirators laugh like it is too. Even have one or two of them laugh so hard they snort. The aim of the joke is for the subject to find themselves in a situation where they don't want to be the only person who doesn't get, what is impossible to get. It makes no damn sense, but nobody wants to be the one dummy who doesn't get it and therefore, can't keep up.
The funnier everybody responds to the joke as being, the harder our subject will try to laugh to "get it" as much as all the others do. The harder they try to fake laugh, the funnier it is, for real-real, for you and your fellow evil minions. The funnier it is for you all, the harder you'll laugh back, and the harder even more, our subject will try to keep up. All the while, not understanding what what in blazes was so funny, about such a pointless, stupid, non-sensical joke. The pain of their confusion is the aim of this joke. Only the rarest, most-precious sort of a person will be able to stand there and say, "Whiskey tango foxtrot?" I all but guarantee you a good gut-aching laugh for you and a lot of your co-workers or other pals.
2. My next gag tip only takes one other very good friend/conspirator, along with a subject (or 20) and it's a mind-bender. You'll laugh til you wanna puke: It will require some private rehearsal. It's more of a "performing art."
One of the two actors gets the subject(s) to ask the other actor "How fast can your sister roller-skate?" Actor number 2 is very hurt, asking "Who told you to say that?" Use tears, be devastated. Actually sit down, on the floor, regardless of where you are-work-home-the park-the store. Sit there. Be upset and quiet for thirty seconds, other than asking who told them to ask them that, until they tell you. They will...eventually...trust me. Tell them ultimately, "My sister has no legs." Say it in pain.
At that point, actor number 1 comes back into the scene (actor 2 uses a "You!" on sight), and a cruel, fake fight should break out after a scene of one person finding another person's pain funny. If you're doing this right, the subject(s) should actually hate actor 1 by now. Actors 1 and 2 should actually get into a physical scuffle, which doesn't stop no matter what, until both actors break out in laughter, and greet each other as if they're old friends. Subject(s) should be in tears by now, over the thought of so much cruelty and pain. Once subject(s) see(s) both actors are actually friends, both will be graduated to "Grade A Jackasses" in everyone's book, for around three months.

Miki, a long short story... Miki is a professional French artist, born in the Pyrenees, Her works have been sold and published worldwide. Her painting is a reflection of her life: a permanent oscillation between light and shadow, lines and shapes, times and places, always looking for that equilibrium which she can only find in continuous movement, in the mysterious and the unknown. A life divided between two passions: mathematics and painting. The first as a supreme form of abstract art ruling her universe... The second as a way of cementing the beauty of that art. Miki, about herself: "... Passionate. Impatient. Unappeasable, uncontrollable! I prefer dancing on a volcano rather than to sit at home! I love the...

It was 'the bridge that could not be built' – and yet it was. After 4 years of construction, which was often hampered by icy winds, treacherous currents and thick fog, the Golden Gate Bridge opened in 1937. With its 2 towering supports and eye-catching reddish-orange colour, this magnificent bridge quickly came to symbolise San Francisco.
The Golden Gate Bridge spans the Golden Gate Strait and connects San Francisco and the Marin Headlands. In the past, the bay could only be crossed by ferry, which was a time-consuming affair. There was little funding to build the bridge, but engineer Joseph Strauss claimed he could build it for less money than estimated. He was given the go-ahead and may very well have built the world's most beautiful and most photographed bridge.
"The 2 main cables that connect the bridge supports consist of approximately 129,000 kilometres of steel cable and took 6 months to produce"

European Commission - Press release
European Commission proposes to make 2013 the "European Year of Citizens"
Brussels, 11 August 2011 – Union citizenship and the rights that go with it are one of the key pillars of the European Union. As we mark the 20th anniversary of the establishment of Union citizenship under the Maastricht Treaty, on 1 November 1993, the European Commission has today proposed to designate 2013 as the "European Year of Citizens".
20 years after the creation of Union citizenship, tangible progress has been made that directly affects the lives of millions. To take just one example: nowadays travelling abroad entails cheaper travel costs, hassle-free border crossings, package holiday guarantees, access to healthcare systems and cheaper calls when you phone home. These are just some of the benefits derived from EU citizenship. The Commission's goal is to make sure that we remove the remaining hurdles people face when exercising their rights abroad.
"Free movement is the most cherished right in the European Union. It is synonymous with Union citizenship. Businesses and citizens are reaping huge rewards as the EU steadily breaks down internal barriers to the free movement of goods, services and people. I want to build on our achievements so that all EU citizens feel comfortable when travelling, shopping, studying or settling in another EU Member State", said Vice-President Viviane Reding, EU-Commissioner responsible for Justice and Citizenship. "If Europeans do not know their rights, they cannot effectively exercise them. Today 48% of Europeans feel that they are not well informed about their rights. The European Year of Citizens will help us change this. It will be a good opportunity to remind people what the European Union can do for every one of us."
Freedom of movement is the most cherished right of EU citizenship (see press release No. 14/2011). Indeed, more and more Europeans benefit from this right and live in another EU Member State: in 2009, an estimated 11.9 million citizens were living in a Member State other than their own; in 2010 this figure grew to 12.3 million (STAT/11/105). Thanks to EU citizenship – which does not replace national citizenship but is additional to it – EU-citizens have access to a broad range of rights across all EU-Member States, including rights as consumers to access goods and services in other Member States, and the right as citizens to access education, to obtain recognition of their professional qualifications, to access healthcare, to acquire or preserve social security rights or the right to vote and to stand as candidates in elections to the European Parliament and in municipal elections in their Member State of residence.
Yet whilst more than one third (35%) of workers would consider taking a job in another Member State, nearly one in five still considers that there are too many obstacles to actually doing so. Together with language difficulties, a chronic lack of information is the most important barrier to cross-border commuting. A survey from 2010 showed that too many people still do not feel adequately informed about the different rights available to them: only 43% know the meaning of the term 'citizen of the European Union' and almost half of European citizens (48%) indicate that they are 'not well informed' about their rights (see Annex).
In addition, the EU Citizenship Report 2010 (see IP/10/1390 and MEMO/10/525) showed that, in fact, many barriers remain that prevent or discourage people from moving abroad. The report outlined 25 concrete actions to remove these remaining obstacles. One of these is to "strengthen citizens' awareness of their EU citizenship status, their rights and meaning in their daily lives by proposing the designation of 2013 as the European Year of Citizens and by organising targeted events on EU citizenship and citizen-related policies during this Year". The European Year of Citizens will be characterised by a follow up to the EU Citizenship Report: in 2013, the Commission will publish an action plan for completing the removal of the remaining obstacles that hinder citizens from enjoying their rights as Union citizens.
By designating 2013 as the European Year of Citizens, the European Commission is delivering on the promise made in the EU Citizenship Report and answering the European Parliament's call for such a year.
The purpose of the European Year of Citizens is to facilitate Union citizens' exercising their right to move and reside freely within the EU by ensuring they can easily access information about their rights. More specifically, the aim of the Year is to:
To mark the European Year of Citizens 2013, a range of events, conferences and seminars will be organised across the EU at Union, national, regional or local level. The Commission is also planning to strengthen the visibility of the multilingual Europe Direct and Your Europe web portals as key elements of a 'one-stop-shop' information system on Union citizens' rights, as well as the role and visibility of problem solving tools, such as SOLVIT, to allow Union citizens to better make use of and defend their rights.
The proposed budget for the activities to take place during the 2013 European Year of Citizens is EUR 1 million.
Today's Decision will need to be approved by the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers according to the "ordinary legislative procedure" (co-decision). The Commission expects to work in close cooperation with the other EU institutions, notably the European Parliament, and with the Member States to make sure the Year has a strong and lasting impact.

text: Hi, I run ispconfig several users are on the system and everything is working fine, but... Some users have wordpress installed and install plugins via the web interface. This way the webserver creates files on the hard disk in the web directory of the user. These files have the ownership of www-data.www-data and not client1.web1 (just an example). As the webserver also creates directories the user is no longer able to delete these webserver created files. Has anyone a solution to this problem other than running a cronjob the resets the permission of every file owned by the webserver every now and then? As I ran my own selfmade hosting solution I had one apache instance for every user in chroot environment and that way all webserver created files had the correct ownership and permissions. But the ispconfig approach does not allow this, as far as I understand ispconfig... Cheers, Nicki

New video for Omodaka's Kyoteizinc is incredible! Directed by Hiroshi Kizu and featuring the beautiful dancing of Masako Yasumoto. Serious props to Mr. Kizu, although this proves to me once again: The editor > The director.
I see some similarities between what's happening in Asia and what's happening in France. Glitchy-pop techno and this editing style seem to be the craze right now! Like the new windrunner ad by Nike, so obviously influenced by Justice et al. (video after the jump)
