Recent reviews
Outstanding 4.8 /5 from 31 reviews
Only cons I can think of of, is the fact I booked only one night in Cedar Park. I loved the room,facilities, food... But above all - the very warm welcome and care the owners gave. Strongly recommend if you are into a real gateway, located actually deep in the rainforest. Go there.
It's pretty magical to go out to the covered dining area for breakfast and have a wallaby hop in from the woods to get a piece of sweet potato. They even have on site bee hives producing honey for the breakfast. It is about an hour drive up some winding roads from Cairns, so you definitely need a car to stay there. We did some amazing sight seeing from there though. So I would highly recommend it.
LOVED THIS PLACE. The family that owns it is in it for all the right reasons, and it shows. The resident animals are an incredible element all by themselves. The rooms are huge, the beds heavenly, and the showers hot. They serve a fantastic dinner that is not to be missed. If we ever have the luck of being back in the area, we will for sure stay again (and hope to meet the Platypus next time!)
Wonderful, peaceful, refreshing
Secluded, romantic. Very hospitable staff. Comfortable, large rooms. Very pretty location.

Euro 2016 in France has seen a return of football hooliganism which had been largely absent from recent international competitions. Hooliganism and football is a phrase everyone is familiar with, but it has been largely absent from recent international competitions. However, Euro 2016 in France saw a return of this ill-affair.
Saturday's Euro 2016 competition was a fantasticday oftournament soccer.
But it wasn't a fantastic day at a major tournament.
A dark cloud of hooliganism and thuggery, building for several days between English and Russian fans, exploded over the canvas of the championship in Marseille.
Out of the 24 teams competing in Euro 2016, they've been separated into six Euro 2016 groups —from Group A through Group F. Six of the teams were seeded (France, England, Germany, Spain, Belgium and Portugal) while the remaining 18 teams were drawn into their respective groups.
Euro 2016 is arguably the most prestigious and competitive international soccer tournament in the world — even better than the World Cup.
Given the way that ESPN has raised the bar with its world-class coverage of FIFA World Cup 2014 and Euro 2012, it's a tough ask for the network to notonly better its already critically-acclaimed coverage with Euro 2016 but to also dealwith issues that it can't control such as weather, transportation strikes and terror threats.
ESPN's talent that will be bringing Euro 2016 into homes across the United Statesthis summer will have a very familiar look. In fact, the talent is almost identical to the team that received rave reviews for its coverage of World Cup 2014.
Based in a studio in France, BobLey leads a team of English-language studio hosts that includes Mike Tirico his last assignment for ESPN before joining NBC Sports, as well as UK-based sports presenters Steve Bower and Alison Bender.
For the past 8 years, we've been graced by ESPN's superb coverage of world-class soccer competitions on US television. At Euro 2008, it was the birth of a new soccer vision that was focused on providing intelligent discussion and coverage of the Beautiful Game, and importantly not talking down to the viewers.
Madrid (AFP) As a pot-bellied, softly-spoken, 65-year-old, Spain coach Vicente del Bosque can rarely be described as a man on a mission.
Yet he is determined to put right a disastrous World Cup two years ago when La Roja defend their European Championship title.
"The origin of everything is Brazil and the disappointment of Brazil," Del Bosque told AFP explaining why the Spanish public, so accustomed to success over the past decade, has failed to become enthused by its national team in the two years since Spain crashed out after just two games at the World Cup.
ESPN has announced its lineup of talent that will be bringing Euro 2016 toUS television this summer.
The biggest surprise is that ESPN will feature Kate Markgraf as the first female co-commentator in the US to ever call a top-tier global men's tournament. The 1999 Women's World Cup champion made her debut during ESPN's 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup in Germany and has become one of the leading analysts for women's soccer in the United States.
As part oftheir ongoing commitment to keepfootball accessible to all, FIFA have proudly announced that the cheapest match ticket at the 2018 World Cup in Russia will cost a mere $105 (roughly £80).
FIFA have rolled out their pricing structure for the 2018 tournament today, with the following ticket prices applying to overseas fans.
London (AFP) FIFA should warn Russia they could be stripped as hosts of the 2018 World Cup if they don't take measures to root out their hooligan element, British lawmaker Damian Collins told AFP on Friday.
Collins said it would be unacceptable for Russia to host a World Cup if the government cannot give assurances over the safety of foreign football supporters.
Mexico City (AFP) The head of Russia's 2018 World Cup organizing committee admitted on Wednesday that a lot of construction work remains, but said the country is not running behind in its preparations.
Alexey Sorokin, chief of the local organizing committing, said ahead of a FIFA congress in Mexico City later this week that the two biggest stadiums in Saint Petersburg and Moscow are 85 percent ready.

So much for Federations not putting much importance on the Copa America results. Just two days after seeing his side losing 1-0 to Peru, Dunga has been sacked as the Brazil manager, a result that saw the Samba Boys fail to reach the knockout phase for the first time since 1987.
Dunga, who was sacked from his first spell in charge of the Selecao after their last-eight exit at the 2010 World Cup, said after the Peru game:
"The president of the federation knows what we do and how we work.
"The president of the federation knows what we do and how we work.
The USMNT comes to Lincoln Financial Field for the first time since the run-up to the 2010 FIFA World Cup, and the United States needs a result.
The United States have had a down and up group stage in the Copa America Centenario thus far. Things began on a dour note against Colombia with a 2-0 loss but four days later the United States picked up a 4-0 win against Costa Rica despite USMNT manager Jurgen Klinsmann not making a single change to his starting XI.
Former Everton winger Ronny Goodlass wouldn't accept the old adage that you should never meet your heroes.
The 62-year-old scouser came through the ranks with the Toffees when they were a powerhouse in English football, boasting some of the finest players in the club's and the English game's history.
Chicago (AFP) A Donald Trump victory in the US Presidential elections could scupper America's chances of mounting a successful bid for the 2026 World Cup, the country's top soccer official told US media outlets on Tuesday.
US Soccer president Sunil Gulati said Trump's election could adversely affect international opinion of the United States, potentially dealing a fatal blow to hopes of gathering enough votes to land the tournament.

Republican presidentialcandidate Donald Trump has created waves with some of his comments throughout the campaigning process, but could a potential White House bid affect the United States' chances of hosting another major soccer tournament?
Votingfor the 2026 World Cup is still several years away, and Sunil Gulati says that U.S. Soccer remains unsure of how, and if, the federation will present themselves as potential hosts.
According to a recent ESPN report, John Motta, a U.S. Soccer board member, says the federation has been considering a joint bid with Mexico for the 2026 tournament, which will see the host nation determined in May 2020.

Usually when major soccer tournaments come to new regions, one of the barometers of success is in the form of ticket sales. One of the pillars of a future US World Cup would be that major ticket sales would fill up gigantic stadiums across the country.
FIFA has a moneyproblem. After years of scandals coming to the forefront of people's attentions and assets being seized in criminal investigations, the organization is finally being hit where it hurts. According to the Associated Press, FIFA's latest financials showed a loss of $122 million last year, and the organization now has had trouble finding new sponsors in the wake of seemingly repeated misappropriation of funds.
FOX Sports has teamed up with National Geographic to complement its coverage of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, which will be shown on US television.
National Geographic Channel, which is owned by 21st Century FOX, will collaborate with FOX Sports to help create features, vignettes and bumpers that will try to capture Russia's diversity, culture and scenery.
Former Italian defender Marco Materazzi has undisclosed what he said to his opponent Zidedine Zindane which caused the infamous headbutt incident in the 2006 World Cup final.
In the 110th minute of the mega International finale, France midfielder Zidane produced one of the most controversial moments in the history of the game as he was sent off for headbutting Materazzi after the duo confronted each other during a heated encounter.

Slaughtered, Gutted and Heartbroken Lyrics
Artist: Squeeze
Album: Frank
Slaughtered gutted and heartbroken
With no spirit or no soul
My emotions have been stolen
Love has left me with this hole
Now my heart's a deep dark cavern
Emptiness is all I feel
I'm the pig she tried to fatten
And now all I do is squeal
But things could be worse
Things could be very bad for me
O' my dear I find myself
A stitch short of a tapestry
Patience on the verge of breaking
I'm kicking cans around the street
Like a bad cold I need shaking
Like a fool I want to cheat
But to me she was an angel
And I went and let her down
The attraction was so fatal
That she kicked me off her cloud
The light was on there in her window
I saw her shadow moving around
I tried to stand on tip toes
Hoping that she might look down
I wanted so bad to call her
But I had to walk away
Slaughtered, gutted and heartbroken
Another diamond down the drain

This invention relates to a seismic accelerometer for measuring low frequency and large dynamic measurement ranges, in particular, for measuring P-waves and S-waves in a single housing.
Since the discovery of the piezoelectric effect, many types of mechanical-electrical measuring transducers based on this effect have been produced, in particular force and pressure transducers and accelerometers. The compactness, high rigidity and high resonant frequency of piezoelectric type accelerometers render such accelerometers excellent instruments to measure various inertial forces as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,227,198; 4,088,027; 5,299,075 and 4,016,437.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,227,198, a piezoelectric accelerometer measures seismic activity caused by explosives in a mining operation. That accelerometer comprises a seismic sensor, delay circuitry, an amplifier, a comparator and a recorder. The seismic sensor generates a sensor signal in response to any seismic activity. The amplifier receives and amplifies the sensor signal. The comparator and the delay circuitry receive the amplified sensor signal. The comparator determines if sensor signal has reached a predetermined threshold. When the threshold is reached, the comparator generates a threshold signal. The recorder receives the threshold signal and turns on to record the sensor signal that will be released from the delay circuitry, otherwise the sensor signal is not recorded. Thus, the accelerometer is designed to accurately record a particular frequency range of forces.
The capability of accelerometers have been explored to measure various inertial forces. However, accelerometers have not previously been used to accurately monitor and record all frequency inertial forces by adjusting the accelerometer's sensitivity in response to the strength of inertial forces. The present invention is designed to resolve this inadequacy.
In addition to altering the sensitivity of the accelerometer, the proposed accelerometer would allow civil engineers to monitor inertial forces applied to a civil engineering structure to determine the safety of the structure.
The present invention is a seismic accelerometer to measure and record low frequencies and large dynamic measurement ranges. The accelerometer comprises at least one directional piezoelectric sensing element and an integrated circuit system. Each directional piezoelectric sensing element senses inertial forces applied to the accelerometer from a particular direction, X, Y or Z, and generates a force voltage signal whose amplitude and frequency are proportional to the amplitude and frequency of the inertial forces sensed by the accelerometer. The sensitivity of each directional piezoelectric sensing element is in direct proportion to the sensitivity of the integrated circuit and the mass of a first mass. The integrated circuit system receives the force voltage signal from each directional piezoelectric sensing element and generates an output signal for each direction. The invention has means for altering the sensitivity of the accelerometer. Upon reception of an initial, vertical P wave, the sensitivity is adjusted by mechanical or electrical means or by a combination of mechanical and electrical means. If the P wave magnitude predicts an S wave that would likely exceed the range of the accelerometer, the sensitivity is reduced so that the incident S wave will generate a force voltage signal within the operating range of the accelerometer. In one embodiment a mass attached to the accelerometer to raise its sensitivity. In response to an incident P wave the mass breaks and the sensitivity is reduced. In another embodiment an integrated circuit monitors the incident waves. When an incident wave exceeds a threshold level, the sensitivity of the accelerometer is automatically reduced to keep any following signals within its operating range.

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a seismic accelerometer 10. The accelerometer 10 comprises a base 12, an integrated circuit system 14, a vertical stud 16, a first directional piezoelectric sensing element 18, a second directional piezoelectric sensing element 20, and a first mass 22.
The base 12 is a durable material, like metal or plastic, that supports the components of the accelerometer. The base 12 can have an aperture 24 so the base 12 can be connected or mounted to a civil engineering structure. The phrase "civil engineering structure" means any man-made or natural bridge, building, or structure. Extending from the center of the base 12 is the vertical stud 16. Attached to the base 12 is the integrated circuit system 14.
FIG. 2 shows a view of FIG. 1 taken along the lines 2--2. FIG. 2 shows the first piezoelectric sensing element 18, the second piezoelectric sensing element 20 and a third directional piezoelectric sensing element 26. Each sensing element 18, 20, 26 is connected to the vertical stud 16 and senses inertial forces applied to the accelerometer from a particular direction (X, Y or Z). For example, the third element 26 may sense inertial forces from the Z direction, the second element 20 may sense inertial forces from the Y direction, and the first element 18 may sense inertial forces from the X direction. The sensing elements 18, 20, 26 sense inertial forces in a particular direction due to the crystal structure of the piezoelectric material. A horizontal crystal structure predominantly senses inertial forces from the X and Y directions. While a vertical crystal structure senses inertial forces from the Z direction. Each sensing element 18, 20, 26 generates a force voltage signal 28 in response and in proportion to the respective inertial forces applied to the accelerometer, in particular to the sensing elements. Signal 28 is a force voltage signal and contains a broad band spectrum of frequencies, i.e., high, middle and low frequencies.
FIG. 3 is an electrical schematic of the present invention. FIG. 3 shows each of the three sensing elements 18, 20, 26. Each element 18, 20, 26 generates the force voltage signal 28. Integrated circuit system 14 is comprised of three directional systems 4, 5, 6. Each directional system corresponds to one directional piezoelectric sensing element and receives the corresponding signal 28. After receiving signal 28, each directional system of the integrated circuit system 14 generates an output signal 30 for each direction (X, Y and Z).
Each directional system 4, 5, 6 comprises a first filter 34a, a pre-amplifier 32, a second filter 34b, a gate 36, a post-amplifier 38, and a comparator 40. Each directional system 4, 5, 6 is further connected to a controller 42 in integrated circuit system 14.
The first filter 34a receives the force voltage signal 28, removes the high frequency components of output 28, and generates signal 31. By removing the high frequencies, the accelerometer 10 operates in a very low frequency range, e.g. under 50 Hz. Preferably, first filter 34a is a low pass filter. The low pass filter deletes frequencies of the signal 31 greater than a desired frequency, such as 50 Hz and therefore prevents a possible overload in middle and high frequencies to any sensing element 18, 20, 26, in particular, to sensing elements designed for high sensitivity to a low frequency range. Signal 31 is similar to output 28, except signal 31 provides a low frequency spectrum.
The pre-amplifier 32 increases the sensitivity of the accelerometer 10 minutely, such as 5 V/g (Volts/acceleration due to gravity, i.e., 32 ft/sec2). The pre-amplifier 32 receives the force voltage signal 28 and generates pre-amplifier signal 44. Pre-amplifier signal 44 is in voltage mode and provides the same frequency band as signal 31.
The second filter 34b for each directional system 4, 5, 6 receives its corresponding pre-amplified signal 44. The filter 34b can be either a band pass filter that filters frequencies of the signal 44 that are outside the desired frequency, such as 0.05 Hz to 50 Hz, or a low pass filter that filters frequencies of the signal 44 greater than a desired frequency, such as 50 Hz. In either option, second filter 34b generates a filter signal 35.
The controller 42 receives filter signal 35 from the vertical (z) sensor system 6 or from all three directional systems 4, 5, 6 and generates a command signal 92. Each gate 36 in integrated circuit system 14 receives command signal 92. Controller 42 determines if filter signal 35 exceeds a predetermined threshold. When the threshold is exceeded, the controller 42 generates command signal 92 to open the gates 36. After a predetermined time period, preferably about two minutes since most earthquakes average less than 2 minutes in duration, controller 42 generates another command signal 92 to close the gates 36.
Each gate 36 receives command signal 92 and its respective filter signal 35. When gate 36 is closed, gate 36 allows filter signal 35 to pass through it. Signal 35 becomes signal 37 once it passes through gate 36. In contrast, when gate 36 is open signal 37 is not generated.
In contrast to the pre-amplifier 32, post-amplifier 38 increases the sensitivity of the accelerometer 10 dramatically, for example, from 5 V/g to 500 V/g. Post-amplifier 38 operates by receiving the signal 37 and generating an amplified signal 39 when gate 36 is closed. Comparator 40 receives signal 39 and signal 35 and generates output signal 30. Output signal 30 is signal 35 when gates 36 are open and is signal 39 when gates 36 are closed. By opening the gates 36, the sensitivity of the accelerometer 10 decreases.
In operation, when a strong earthquake is sensed by the accelerometer 10 the first inertial force is normally a P-wave (vertical wave) and then a S-wave. If an inertial force, such as a P-wave, arrives and it exceeds the predetermined threshold set forth in controller 42, e.g. 0.2 g with the signal 35 being about 1 volt, then all the gates 36 receive the 1 volt signal 35 and command signal 92 from controller 42 and open. With the gate 36 of each directional system 4, 5, 6 open, the sensitivity of the accelerometer 10 decreases to the sensitivity of the pre-amplifier 32 of 5 V/g. With the lower sensitivity, the recorded output will not have any saturation points 90 on a graph as shown in FIG. 5 but will have a complete graph similar to FIG. 4 after the decrease in sensitivity of the accelerometer 10 (indicated as line 96). After the gates 36 close the sensitivity of the accelerometer 10 increases, i.e. from 5 V/g to 500 V/g, when post-amplifier 38 is in operation.
Another means to control the sensitivity of the accelerometer 10 is with the first mass 22. Returning to FIG. 1, the first mass 22 is attached to the vertical stud 16 and can be disconnected from the accelerometer 10 to alter the sensitivity of the accelerometer 10. The change in sensitivity (Sc) of the accelerometer 10 is directly proportional to the mass (m) of the first mass 22 and any other mass connected to the accelerometer 10, as shown by the following formula (wherein kc is a proportional coefficient):
Sc =kc m
FIG. 6 is an alternative embodiment of FIG. 1. FIG. 6 shows base 12, the three sensing elements 18, 20, 26, the first mass 22, a break mechanism 46 and a second mass 48. The break mechanism 46 is a material, such as ceramic, metal or plastic material, and is designed to break at a pre-set inertial force. The break mechanism 46 is over the first mass 22 and supports the second mass 48. The combination of the first mass 22 and the second mass 48 (m) increases the sensitivity of the accelerometer 10 proportionally, for example, 10-50 PC/g to 5000 PC/g.
If the P-wave is strong enough, the break mechanism will break and separate the second mass 48 from the accelerometer 10. Thereby, the sensitivity of the accelerometer, in particular the three sensing elements 18, 20, 26, is decreased to obtain the desired output shown in FIG. 4 rather than the output with saturated points 90 shown in FIG. 5.
Even though each sensing element 18, 20, 26 is designed to sense a particular direction of the applied inertial force, it is inherent that the sensing elements will record portions of the applied inertial force not in the particular direction (transverse forces). It is therefore necessary to cancel the transverse forces. Usually the transverse forces are functions of frequencies. That is,
X0 (ω)=a'yx (ω)Yi (ω)+a'zx (ω)Zi (ω)
Y0 (ω)=a'zy (ω)Zi (ω)+a'xy (ω)Xi (ω) Equation 1
Z0 (ω)=a'xz (ω)Xi (ω)+a'yz (ω)Yi (ω)
wherein a'yx (ω) stands for the influence factor to output X0 from the input Yi 30 at frequency ω. Equation 1 can be rewritten in the following matrix equation: ##EQU1##
Equations 1 and 2 can be used to cancel the transverse forces. The canceling occurs in either two manners, a variable transverse force cancellation as shown in FIG. 7 or a constant transverse force cancellation as shown in FIG. 8.
FIG. 7 illustrates an analog to digital converter 60, a fast fourier transformer 64, a logic circuit 68, a memory unit 70, an inverse fast fourier transformer 74 and an optional digital to analog converter 78 to cancel the variable transverse forces. The analog to digital converter 60 receives each output signal 30 and generates converted output signals 62 for each direction. The fast fourier transformer 64 receives converted output signals 62 and generates transformed signals 66 for each direction. The logic circuit 68 receives each transformed signal 66 and analyzes each transformed signal 66 to the other transformed signals 66 and further compares this analysis to previous data on the relation of signals 66 stored in memory unit 70 (such as an EPROM). Logic circuit 68 then alters each transformed signal 66 and generates a logic signal 72. The inverse fast fourier transformer 74 receives each logic signal 72 and generates a variable altered signal 76 for each direction (X,Y,Z). Optionally, the variable altered signal 76 can be converted by the digital to analog converter 78.
In FIG. 8, there is a logic circuit 80 for each direction to cancel the constant transverse forces. Each logic circuit 80 receives output signals 30 from each direction (X,Y,Z). Each logic circuit 80 alters each output signal 30 a pre-determined value and generates constant altered signal 82 for each direction.
FIG. 9 is an alternative embodiment of FIG. 3 taken from the view of box 9. In the alternative embodiment the filters 34a and 34b are by-passed through a second gate 50 to conduct a self-check mode of the accelerometer 10. The second gate 50 receives the signal 28 and directs the signal 31b to a second voltage amplifier 32b. The second voltage amplifier 32b generates a voltage signal 51 to the comparator 40. The resonant frequency of each sensing element 18, 20, 26 can be as high as a thousand hertz. Under ambient excitation, although the low frequency vibrations are in a low acceleration level, the high frequency components of the accelerometer 10 can be measured as a self-check signal to ensure the accelerometer 10 is operating properly.
Another alternative embodiment is shown in FIG. 9. Switch 36b replaces gate 36, receives signals 35 and 92, and generates signals 37 and 37b depending on the inertial force applied to the accelerometer. When signal 35 is weak, e.g. when no strong earthquake occurs, the controller 42 generates the command signal 92 that controls switch 36b to generate signal 37. Amplifier 38 receives signal 37, amplifies that signal with high gain, and generates signal 39. Comparator 40 receives signal 39.
In contrast, if signal 35 is strong, e.g. a strong P-wave signal is measured, the controller generates the command signal 92 that controls switch 36b to generate signal 37b. Amplifier 38b receives signal 37b, amplifies that signal with a much lower gain than amplifier 38, and generates signal 39b. Comparator 40 receives signal 39b.
The present invention is mounted to, for example, a bridge. An engineer is then able to monitor the inertial forces applied to that bridge to determine if that bridge is structurally sound.
Multiple units of the present invention can also be mounted to various locations on a civil engineering structure and the surrounding terrain. Each unit monitors the inertial forces applied to that structure and possible terrain and records the output in a memory unit for total analysis of the effect of an inertial force, e.g. an earthquake, on the structure.
The invention has been described in detail with particular reference to certain preferred embodiments thereof, but it will be understood that variations and modifications can be effected within the spirit and scope of the invention.

Vin Diesel Remembers Paul Walker as 'Fast 8' Shooting Is Underway
- Mon May 23, 2016, 2:30 AM GMT
The 48-year-old actor pays tribute to his late co-star and gives an update after the first week on the filming set.READ MORE
The common notion to survive in Hollywood could be: if you are blond, blue-eyed, good looking and doing some acting, you'll be in the clan. These are the stereotypes that Paul Walker has, but not living on. As cute as he's always been, Paul Walker could have easily been Hollywood's gleaming boy. Yet, he seems to refuse the idea that Hollywood lifestyle is the center of his life �Some people say that you should go to the parties, nightclubs, & I look at them & say, 'You don't want to have contacts with those people.' Look at what happened to River Phoenix. If you get caught up in that, it ruins you. Hollywood is garbage.� This heartthrob is just getting interesting.
Paul was born September 12, 1973 in Glendale, California and grew up in San Fernando Valley. Starting as early as a baby, Paul was noticed as Pampers commercial star. Knowing that appear on TV was what he wanted, teenage Paul took some guest role appearances in TV series. The first one was �Highway to Heaven� (1984) where he became a mentally challenged youth for three episodes. Next came �Throb� (1986) as Diana Canova's son for a year before being replaced by Sean De Veritch. Feeling that it was time to move on to bigger screen, Paul starred in a rather insipid movie titled �Monster in the Closet� (1987).

You cannot otherwise use the Stock Files. 2. Limitations: The Stock Files may not be sold as stand alone clips/stock files, or included in any other media/stock product, library, or collection for distribution or resale. The Stock Files may not be used, in part or in whole, as a trademark or service mark, nor may you claim any proprietary rights of any sort in the Stock Files, or any part thereof. You may not make available some or all of the Stock Files on a web page or other display as a separate or downloadable reusable file, or disassemble, decompile, reverse engineer, translate, or otherwise decode the Stock Files for any reason whatsoever. If you provide Stock Files or Derivative Works to a client as part of your work product, the client may not reuse the Stock Files or Derivative Works for any purposes other than a review of your work product without purchasing a separate license. 3. Fees and Payments: In exchange for your usage of Footage Firm's Stock Files as provided hereunder,
you must have a registered VideoBlocks.com account (with either free trial or paid status) at the time of downloading. This license applies to all files you downloaded during your subscription (regardless of whether it was a paid or free trial account), and remains in effect even after you cancel your account. (You may continue to use the clips you downloaded even after account cancellation, as described in this Agreement.). You agree to pay and be responsible for any and all sales taxes, use taxes, value added taxes and duties imposed by any jurisdiction as a result of the license granted to you, or of your use of the Stock Files, pursuant to this Agreement. 4. Copyright: Footage Firm, its licensors and contributors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Stock Files not expressly granted by the License Grant above. Such rights are protected by the United States and International Copyright laws and international treaty provisions. You may be held legally responsible for any copyright infringement that is caused or encouraged by your failure to abide by the terms of this Agreement. 5. No Warranty: Footage Firm makes no representation or warranty with respect to any Stock File or the use of names, trademarks, logos, registered or copyrighted designs or works of art depicted in any Stock File, and you must satisfy yourself that all necessary rights, model releases, consents or permissions as may be required for your intended usage are secured. All Footage Firm's Stock Files are provided "as is." Footage Firm makes no representation or warranty either express or implied including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for any particular use, quality of image, noninfringement, or compatibility with any computer hardware or other equipment, operating system or software program. Neither Footage Firm nor any of its directors, officers, employees, subsidiaries, affiliates, or agents shall be liable for any damages, whether direct, incidental, or consequential, or other damages arising out of the use of, or the inability to use, the Stock Files. You acknowledge that Footage Firm has no obligation to review, monitor or screen Stock Files, although Footage Firm it reserves the right in its sole discretion to do so, and Footage Firm does not approve, endorse or make any representations or warranties with respect to Stock Files. Footage Firm does not warrant the accuracy of any categorization, keyword, caption or title of the Stock File or the metadata that may be provided therewith. ANY STOCK FILES DOWNLOADED FROM OR OTHERWISE ACCESSED THROUGH THE SITE IS ACCESSED AT YOUR OWN RISK, AND YOU SHALL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PROPERTY OR PERSON, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM AND ANY DEVICE YOU USE TO ACCESS THE SITEOR THE SERVICES, OR ANY OTHER LOSS THAT RESULTS FROM ACCESSING OR DOWNLOADING SUCH CONTENT. 6. Indemnity and Release. You will indemnify and hold Footage Firm, and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, partners and employees (collectively, the "Footage Firm Parties"), harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorney's fees, arising out of your use of Stock Files. You hereby release the Footage Firm Parties and their successors from claims, demands, any and all losses, damages, rights, and actions of any kind, including personal injuries, death, and property damage that is either directly or indirectly related to or arises from any Stock Files or use thereof. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code 1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not now or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor." 7. Limitation of Liability:IN NO EVENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, NEGLIGENCE, SHALL ANY FOOTAGE FIRM PARTY BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, OR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES RESULTING FROM THE STOCK FILES, WHETHER OR NOT FOOTAGE FIRM HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL FOOTAGE FIRM BE LIABLE TO YOU IN THE AGGREGATE FOR MORE THAN THE AMOUNT RECEIVED BY FOOTAGE FIRM AS A RESULT OF YOUR USE OF THE SITE IN THE SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD DURING WHICH YOU FIRST ASSERT A CLAIM. IF YOU HAVE NOT PAID FOOTAGE FIRM ANY AMOUNTS IN THE SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD DURING WHICH YOU FIRST ASSERT ANY SUCH CLAIM, FOOTAGE FIRM'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TEN DOLLARS ($10.00). FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, FOOTAGE FIRM'S LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO SUCH AMOUNTS IN THE AGGREGATE FOR BOTH THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TERMS OF USE. CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR
ALL OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MIGHT HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS. THE LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN FOOTAGE FIRM AND YOU. 8. Termination: This Agreement will commence on the date when you first download any Stock File and will remain in effect as long as you maintain any Stock File or Derivative Work in your possession. The license contained in this Agreement will terminate automatically without notice from Footage Firm if you fail to comply with any provision of the Agreement or the Terms of Use. If you want to terminate this Agreement, you may do so at any time by notifying us and destroying all Stock Files in your possession. Your indemnity and payment obligations and Footage Firm's rights in conjunction with those obligations shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement, as well as Footage Firm's limitation on liability. The provisions of this paragraph are in addition to any other remedies and rights Footage Firm may have as a result of any breach of this Agreement. Neither party will be entitled to damages as a result of termination of this Agreement as provided herein. Upon termination, you must immediately (i) cease using the Stock Files for any purpose; (ii) destroy or delete all copies and archives of the Stock Files or accompanying materials; and (iii) if requested, confirm to Footage Firm in writing that you have complied with these requirements, provided, however, that such requirements in (i), (ii) and (iii) shall not affect or limit your use of any existing Derivative Works containing Stock Files. Upon notice from Footage Firm, or upon your knowledge that any Stock File is subject to a threatened, potential or actual claim of infringement of another's right for which Footage Firm may be liable, you must immediately and at your own expense (i) stop using the Stock File; (ii) delete or remove the Stock File from your premises, computer systems and storage (electronic or physical); and (iii) ensure that your clients, printers or ISPs do likewise. Footage Firm will provide you with replacement Stock Files (which shall be determined by Footage Firm in its reasonable commercial judgment) free of charge, but subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement. 9. Export Control. You may not use, export, import, or transfer the Stock Files except as authorized by U.S. law, the laws of the jurisdiction in which you obtained the Stock Files, and any other applicable laws. In particular, but without limitation, the Stock Files may not be exported or re-exported (a) into any United States embargoed countries; or (b) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department's list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Department of Commerce's Denied Person's List or Entity List. By using the Stock Files, you represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You also will not use the Stock Files for any purpose prohibited by U.S. law, including the development, design, manufacture or production of missiles, nuclear, chemical or biological weapons. You acknowledge and agree that products, services or technology provided by Footage Firm are subject to the export control laws and regulations of the United States. You shall comply with these laws and regulations and shall not, without prior U.S. government authorization, export, re-export, or transfer Footage Firm products, services or technology, either directly or indirectly, to any country in violation of such laws and regulations. 10. General Provisions: This Agreement, with the Terms of Use, constitutes the entire agreement between you and us regarding the use of the Stock Files. Footage Firm's failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in this Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Your relationship to Footage Firm is that of an independent contractor, and neither party is an agent or partner of the other. This Agreement, and your rights and obligations herein, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without Footage Firm's prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon assignees. If any provision of this Agreement is found illegal or unenforceable, the legality and enforceability of the other provisions of the Agreement will not be affected. Your use of the Stock File(s) must be in compliance with all applicable law, including but not limited to, laws and regulations relating to export, currency, and the law of moral rights. This license will expressly not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.No failure of either party to exercise or enforce any of its rights hereunder will serve as a waiver of such rights. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding its' body of law relating to conflicts of law, and excluding the issue of copyright, including its
validity, interpretation, performance, breach, or othermatter. Any and all disputes, controversies, demands, counts, claims, or causes of action arising under this Agreement, with the above exceptions, shall be settled by arbitration pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Judgment upon any arbitration award may be entered in the highest court having jurisdiction as provided herein. Footage Firm reserves the right to pursue any claim or controversy relating to intellectual property rights, not by arbitration, but by a court located in the State of Delaware. In the event that either a court of competent jurisdiction directs us to go to court, or the matter involves copyright, you agree to fully reimburse Footage Firm for its reasonable legal fees, costs, and disbursements if Footage Firm is successful in the suit. Footage Firm reserves the right to seek an injunction to prevent breach of your obligation to Footage Firm's intellectual property rights. Footage Firm reserves the right to withdraw Stock Files from VideoBlocks.com at any time, for any reason. 11. Arbitration. Arbitration shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and not state arbitration law.The arbitration shall be conducted before one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving similar disputes.The matter may be arbitrated either by JAMS or the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as mutually agreed upon by the parties or selected by the party filing the claim.As modified by this Agreement, unless agreed upon by the parties in writing, the conduct of the arbitration shall be subject to the then current rules of JAMS or AAA (whichever is arbitrating the dispute), for commercial arbitration and, if the arbitrator deems it appropriate, consumer disputes. You are thus GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights EXCEPT for matters that may be taken to small claims court.Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury.You are entitled to a FAIR HEARING, BUT the arbitration procedures are SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN RULES APPLICABLE IN COURT.Arbitrator decisions are as enforceable as any court order and are subject to VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT. You and Footage Firm must abide by the following rules: (a) at your election, any in-person arbitration hearing may take place in the federal judicial district of your residence; (b) if your claim is for $10,000 or less, instead of an in-person hearing, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents or through a telephonic hearing; (c) the arbitrator's ruling is binding and not merely advisory; (d) ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT BY YOU OR FOOTAGE FIRM MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES' INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING; (e) THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING, (f) THE ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT AWARD CLASS-WIDE RELIEF; (g) Footage Firm will pay the arbitration costs as required by the rules of JAMS or AAA (depending upon which is arbitrating the dispute), and in the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to costs of litigation, Footage Firm will pay as much of your arbitration filing and hearing fees as the arbitrator deems is necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the cost of litigation, (h) the arbitrator may award any damages or other relief or remedies (including attorneys' fees and costs) that are permitted by applicable law; and (i) each side pays his, her or its own attorneys' fees and costs unless the claim(s) at-issue permit the prevailing party to be paid its fees' and litigation costs, and in such instance any fees' and costs awarded by the arbitrator shall be determined by applicable law, statute, regulation, or case law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Footage Firm may bring an individual action in small claims court.Further, claims of infringement or misappropriation of the other party's patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret shall not be subject to this arbitration agreement.Such claims shall be exclusively brought in the state or federal courts located in the State of Delaware. With the exception of subparts (d) - (f) in the paragraph above (prohibiting arbitration on a class or collective basis), if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, or illegal provision were not contained. If, however, subparts (d) - (f) are found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor Footage Firm shall be entitled to arbitration.In the event this agreement to arbitrate is held unenforceable, or in the event both AAA and JAMS refuse to arbitrate the
Dispute, all controversies, disputes, demands, counts, claims, or causes of action between Footage Firm and you shall be exclusively brought in the state or federal courts located in the State of Delaware. For more information on AAA, its rules and procedures, and how to file an arbitration claim, you may call AAA at 800-778-7879 or visit the AAA website at http://www.adr.org. For more information on JAMS, its rules and procedures, and how to file an arbitration claim, you may call JAMS at 800.352.5267 or visit the JAMS website at http://www.jamsadr.com.

Utada Hikaru Is Releasing A New Album This September
Utada Hikaru is releasing her first full album in eight years.
Utada Hikaru is releasing her first full album in eight years.
There is no way in hell the official Tetris movie will surpass the greatness of the mock-ups out readers put together in our second most-recent Photoshop contest.
After years of near-misses, classic puzzle game Tetris is threatening to become a movie. Maybe if we show them how badly Tetris works with existing movies they will stop.
The most popular versions of Tetris only concern themselves with how the player engages with the mechanics of the play experience. It's a video game with no characters, story, antagonistic action or subtext. So of course people are going to make a movie out of it.
Besides Doom, Tetris is one game that gets all kinds of silly ports all the time. Enthusiast Numeric compressed the game into a 10x16 frame and made it work on a very tiny character display.
Tetris is one of those games that seemingly everybody has played in some form or another. It's evolved in fascinating ways and players continue to do amazing things with Tetris' many iterations. Later this year, a new non-fiction comic will look at the beginnings of one of history's most famous video games.
Yesterday, Tetris Ultimate, the latest official version of the classic puzzle game, was released on Steam for $14.99. Today, I asked for a refund.
I'm a confirmed believer in the church of video games, a sect whose faith has been rewarded over the past decade, as games have sailed easily over the hurdles that have been placed in front of them by the apostates. No one really disputes anymore that games can make us cry, make us laugh, teach our children, train our…
It all started with a one-0f-a-kind Tetris playing business card, but as Kevin Bates' tiny Arduboy gaming console nears production, there's now a new version that's custom-designed to finally play an official version of that famous tetromino-stacking game.
In its most vanilla, near-ubiquitous form, Tetris is already a near perfect video game that challenges you to be smart and fast in increasingly hard fashion. The stuff that gets thrown at you in an ultra-hard arcade version is mind-blowing. Blocks that need to be cleared twice. A stack that flips around. Let's watch…
Like the delightful and oppressive mobile-game galaxy that it summoned, Tetris is both seductive and dispiriting. Alexey Pajitnov's falling-block puzzler captures the pleasure and the vacuousness of virtual labor. Each game of Tetris contains an interactive "Ozymandias," a fruitless quest to build something that will…
Kevin Birrell dazzled the world with his Tetris skills a few weeks back, but for the truly dedicated, the work never ends. Birrell had yet another goal for himself in Tetris: The Grandmaster 3: become the first player outside of Japan to achieve grandmaster status.
Last week, I watched someone pull off one of the most impressive gaming feats I've seen in a long time. He was playing Tetris, and the pieces were invisible. I had to find out how he did it.
You have probably played Tetris. You have probably watched people play Tetris. You have almost surely not watched people play Tetris like this.
It's being developed by the producer behind the Mortal Kombat films from the '90s.
Few things in video games are as mentally satisfying as the crunch of a Tetris piece falling right into place. That's makes this physics test infuriating.
Do you love the game Tetris but wish it was on your torso for friends and total strangers to see? Well one lucky tinkerer has a solution for you!
It might seem like this player is being reckless by choosing to focus on the Tetris game built into Counter-Strike. But they're still paying attention to what's going on around them—so much so that this player actually nabs the game-winning kill.
In our article about Tetris's 30th anniversary, the one and only Steve Wozniak dropped by to regale us with tales of his long reign as America's #1 Tetris champion. He was so good, Nintendo Power magazine stopped accepting his score submissions. So Woz had to get crafty.
In June of 1984, Alexey Pajitnov created Tetris, one of the most popular video games of all time. Three decades later, Ubisoft announces Tetris Ultimate — the final game in the series, unless I am applying an irresponsibly erroneous definition to the word "ultimate".

This is your resource to discuss support topics with your peers, and learn from each other.
We are developing an application having screen with image in background and edit box. As soon as this screen displays, virtual keyboard gets launched (as default focus is on the edit box) and screen size gets changed due to which image in the background also gets shrinks (image gets disturbed).
Is there any work around or way to avoid screen sizing when virtual keyboard gets launched.
- Krmlkr
I presume you are using Display.getHeight() and Display.getWidth().
I recommend that you get these once, at application startup, and use this value where you need assets like images sized to the actual screen size.
You may need to be careful if you are supporting the application tilting the screen, as the width becomes the height and vice versa.
As I understand it, Display.getHeight() and Display.getWidth() are actually 'expensive' in terms of the resources required so doing this once is good practice.
If this doesn't help, look at how you are using sublayout in the Manager that you use to 'size' the background bitmap.
Finally if you are resizing things like this, I recommend that you do it once at application start-up (say while your splash screen is displaying) and save the images. This reduces the number of times you do this and may well reduce memory footprint, since images, especially background images, can be very large.

Monday, 20 June to Friday, 12 August 2016: road traffic delays to and from Mulhouse
During the roadworks, airport users and passengers coming from Mulhouse and Colmar are kindly requested to allow sufficient time before their flight for the journey to the airport, to avoid the roadworks area and to follow the deviation signs in place.
More information: www.enroute.est.equipement.gouv.fr/a35-et-a36-travaux-a-hauteur-de-mulhouse-en-a754.html
(only available in French language)
Duration of journey by road from and to the airportF - Saint-Louis: 5 minutes
F - Mulhouse: 30 minutes
F - Colmar: 50 minutes
F - Belfort: 60 minutes
F - Montbéliard: 75 minutes
F - Strasbourg: 75 minutes
CH - Basel: 5 minutes
CH - Berne: 60 minutes
CH - Lucerne: 60 minutes
CH - Zurich: 55 minutes
D - Freiburg: 50 minutes
How to find EuroAirport with your GPS?
The airport has no street address. Most GPS will find us though if you search e.g. for "Basel airport" or "EuroAirport".
Alternatively, you can use the following coordinates:
Swiss side, roundabout on the airport access road (follow the signs to the airport afterwards):
French side, roundabout on the airport entryway:
Please bear in mind that you can access either the Swiss or the French side of the airport, and enter the required location into your GPS accordingly.

I've also noticed that b/c of Netlfix I'm becoming less likely to go to the theater, and I love movies. ;p
I really grow tired of the "I support the developer" argument in threads of this nature
Because I want to support the developer if I feel they deserve it. If everyone was so selfish that they waited till every game was in the bargin bin or worse just pirates everything it would destroy the gaming industry no gaming industry.
Is it even possible to buy a full priced game for less than $60?
You are not allowed to request a sticky.
