How desirable are you on Tinder? You might not realize it, but anyone who's used the popular dating app is assigned an internal rating: a score calculated by the company that ranks the most (and least) desirable people swiping on the service. The scores are not available to the public, but Tinder recently granted me access to my own—and I've regretted learning it ever since.
Referred to inside the company as an "Elo score," a term the chess world uses to rank player skill levels, Tinder's rating system helps it parse its user base in order to facilitate better matches. Using the system, Tinder could, say, surface more potential dates based on score compatibility. But to me, and likely most Tinder users, it's hard not to perceive the rating as a definitive scoring of our attractiveness, a supercharged Hot or Not-style algorithm culled from thousands and thousands of signals. Should Tinder make your score available to you? And if the company did, would you even want to know it?
Tinder CEO Sean Rad confirmed the scoring system to me while I was reporting Fast Company's recent profile of the company. Rad, who tells me his Elo score is "above average," stresses that the rating is technically not a measure of attractiveness, but a measure of "desirability," in part because it's not determined simply by your profile photo. "It's not just how many people swipe right on you," Rad explains. "It's very complicated. It took us two and a half months just to build the algorithm because a lot of factors go into it."
He doesn't go into too much detail, but it's easy to imagine how many data points could make up your "desirability" score. How many people who you swipe right on, swipe right too? How many don't? Do you include education and career information in your profile? And so on. Jonathan Badeen, Tinder's VP of product, compares it to the video game Warcraft. "I used to play a long time ago, and whenever you play somebody with a really high score, you end up gaining more points than if you played someone with a lower score," he says. "It's a way of essentially matching people and ranking them more quickly and accurately based on who they are being matched up against."
Still, as nuanced as Tinder's algorithm may be, it ultimately comes down to what Tinder data analyst Chris Dumler calls a "vast voting system." Every time you swipe right on one person and left on another, you're fundamentally saying, "This person is more desirable than this other person," says Dumler. "Every swipe is in a way casting a vote: I find this person more desirable than this person, whatever motivated you to swipe right. It might be because of attractiveness, or it might be because they had a really good profile." Tinder's engineers tell me they can use this information to study what profiles are considered most alluring in aggregate.
But it's more of a "generic" beat on what Tinder's community finds desirable. "People are really polarized on even just a photographic level: Some people really favor facial hair, while some do not. Same thing with tattoos, photos with pets or children, excessive outdoors shots, or photos of you with a tiger," says Tinder data engineer Tor Solli-Nowlan. In that sense, a photo showing you skydiving may be alluring (or not) for different reasons; some may like that you're an adventurous thrill seeker, while some might simply be intrigued by how you look. "This [Elo score] isn't a universal attractiveness," Solli-Nowlan says.
It's not uncommon for technology companies to give its users ratings these days, and for good reason. In the gig economy, both customers and service providers now score each other with review systems that help platforms like Airbnb, TaskRabbit, and Lyft weed out bad actors. Drivers on Uber, for example, rate their passengers on a scale of one to five, a rating the ride-sharing company recently made accessible to its users. It can be jarring to look up your own score, as if it's a proxy for how friendly or polite you are (a friend who learned that her score was below 4.7 recently wondered aloud to me whether this meant she was an asshole).
Looking up your score on Tinder is even more jarring. Rad teased me about it several times over dinner one evening, gauging what my score might be as he swiped through a slew of Tinder profiles on my phone. It was one thing to know my Uber rating, but did I really want to know my Elo score on Tinder? When I asked whether he could look up my rating, Rad responded, "Do you want me to do it now?" All he needed was my email address.
At Tinder headquarters, my handler brings me over to the company's analytics team. I ask them if the data they're about to show me will scar my ego. The beauty of Tinder, after all, is that rejection has been removed entirely from the process, since you have no idea who dismissed your profile. Now, in an instant, I'd learn exactly how I ranked on Tinder. "Do you want to see it? I don't know . . . " Solli-Nowlan says forbiddingly as he punches in my account information on his computer. "It's one thing to look up your personal information. You know how many people you swiped on, but this also includes things like what other people have done, like how many people have swiped left on you."
I started having second thoughts, but it was too late. The team did a drum roll, and for a brief second I thought by a fluke I'd turn out to be the No. 1 ranked Tinder user—a narcissistic notion not dissimilar to how I felt when I left the SATs in high school, having guessed my way through the final section yet still believing I'd somehow get a perfect score. Then—ta-da—Solli-Nowlan revealed my score. "It's 946," he said. What does that mean? "It's on the upper end of average." It's a vague number to process, but I knew I didn't like hearing it. Something about "upper end of average" didn't exactly do wonders for my ego.
I leaned into the screen to see the data up close, but Solli-Nowlan threw his hand up to block my sight.
"Don't go staring at my screen," he joked. There was information listed there, he assured me, that I wouldn't want to see.

Three years later, there were no SOCIMIs listed on the
Spanish Stock Exchange, so the new government decided to revise
the SOCIMI regime to adapt it to the REIT regimes of
neighboring countries. Consequently, Spain has approved a true
REIT regime, with effect from January 1 2013, the main features
of which are:
As for the tax treatment of the investors, it will depend on
the nature and tax residence of the investor:
But one of the most interesting features of the Spanish REIT
regime is that it is possible for Spanish subsidiaries that are
wholly owned by foreign REITs to enjoy the special tax regime
described above. The minimum 10% tax requirement would refer in
this case to the investors in the REIT. Thus, a foreign REIT
with investments in Spain that is currently taxed at 30% could
opt, through certain restructuring, to apply the 0% tax. This
could be a final tax if, for instance, the foreign REIT can
identify its shareholders and none of them own at least 5% of
the foreign REIT. This should also be appealing to foreign
REITs that have not yet invested in Spanish real estate.
Finally, the new SOCIMI can be listed in a multilateral
negotiation system like the Spanish Mercado Alternativo
Bursátil (MAB), which is less complex and cheaper
than being listed on the regular stock exchange. SOCIMIs can be
listed in Spain or in any other EU country. This flexibility in
the listing requirement could make the regime attractive for
family offices and medium-sized groups with considerable real
estate portfolios.
This revamped SOCIMI regime, this time a true REIT regime,
comes at a time when foreign funds and investors have expressed
an interest in the distressed real estate currently in the
hands of many Spanish banks and/or the SAREB, which is the
asset management company to which Spanish financial
institutions have contributed a large part of their
contaminated property-related assets (for example mortgage
loans and associated real estate). It seems that all the
necessary factors are in place to make this real estate
investment vehicle a success in a Spanish economy that is
making enormous efforts to overcome the economic turmoil.

In Cold Blood
There are lots of reasons to like the Hunger Artists production of Assassins, Stephen Sondheim's musical about America's contributions to the long history of political whacks: it's directed clearly and cogently by Shannon C.M. Flynn. It's also impeccably cast, with some of the best actors from a range of the county's smaller theaters crammed into the cozy space. But, yeah, the show works because of the undeniable genius of Sondheim, a composer whose complicated melodies and intelligent, passionate lyrics are matched only by his fearless artistic choices.
Assassinssticks out from the musical-theater pack like a two-legged man in a one-legged ass-kicking contest. Simply, it's a show featuring people who've tried to assassinate American presidents. There are the two big killer kahunas: John Wilkes Booth (an incredibly assured Mark Palkoner) and Lee Harvey Oswald (an equally convincing Michael Parillo). There's Leon Czolgosz, who nailed William McKinley, and a suitably disturbing Charles J. Guiteau, who capped James A. Garfield. There are also less successful members of this exclusive club, including wannabe Nixon murderer Sam Byck, played by hilariously bipolar Howard Patterson.
Their personalities are wildly divergent, but what they share, at least in Sondheim and librettist John Weidman's treatment, is a collective desire to redeem their own shattered self-images by offing the leader of the most egotistical and self-aggrandizing country on Earth. Booth is fueled by bad reviews, a fading career and Lincoln's systematic dismantling of the American South. Oswald is a victim of the KGB—and his heartless wife.
Personalizing this most impersonal crime—shooting a president isn't shooting an individual as much as it's shooting a symbol for the most symbolic nation on the planet—isn't just out of the theatrical mainstream; it ranks among the ballsiest artistic choices this side of the Tower of Babel. That this Hunger Artists production rings as true as it does should likewise be filed as one of the most daring choices of a company that has never resisted venturing into unfamiliar, dangerous territory.
Assassins at the Hunger Artists Theatre, 699-A S. State College Blvd., Fullerton, (714) 680-6803. Fri.-Sat., 8 p.m.; Sun., 7:30 p.m. Through Aug. 1. $15-$18.

Standard Chartered was attacked by one of the top lawyers in the City last night for agreeing a quick settlement of the money-laundering allegations that threatened to destroy the bank and warned that it could be forced to pay out billions more before it can properly settle the scandal.
The bank, headquartered in London but with a strong bias towards business in Asia, agreed to pay $340m (£217m) to New York's department of financial services, a little-known regulator that has grabbed the limelight ahead of wider investigations by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the US department of justice, among other agencies.
Peter Sands, the Standard Chartered chief executive, told staff in a memo yesterday morning that the bank had reached the deal "in the best interests of our shareholders, clients, customers and staff".
City observers with experience of Wall Street say the deal may ramp up the appetite of the other watchdogs for greater amounts of blood, with the more senior regulators unlikely to settle for less than Standard Chartered paid to the DFS over allegations that it violated US laws in $250bn-worth of trades with Iran.
Although the bank's shares jumped on investor relief that the issue may be resolved quickly, experienced City lawyers warn otherwise. Simon Morris, a partner with top City law firm CMS Cameron McKenna, said: "This is not a good settlement for Standard Chartered on any measurement.
"Last week there was a flat denial of wrongdoing, so this would make $340m an immense penalty for the 0.1 per cent of transactions that supposedly slipped through the net. But if you assume some underlying truth in the allegations, then it is a middling settlement; still a hefty price to pay for a continuing licence to run a branch in New York."
Standard Chartered shares rose 56.5p to 1,426.5p but they are still well below the 1,601p they stood at shortly before Benjamin Lawsky of the DFS published his damaging allegations two weeks ago. Mr Morris says the settlement opens the door to more pain. He added: "Nor is this the end of the story."
Standard Chartered is likely to face further fines on top of the DFS one – from the New York Federal Reserve, US Department of Justice and the Office of Foreign Assets Control.

"Double-Dog Dare" — Alton's Superstar Sabotage After-Showby Maria Russo in Shows, November 26th, 2015
Alton Brown challenges the chefs. The chefs challenge each other. That's how a typical Cutthroat Kitchen battle unfolds, even in the midst of a Superstar Sabotage tournament. But when it comes to Alton's After-Show, Alton gets even more diabolical: He challenges the judges.
On the latest installment of the After-Show following last night's Heat 4 tournament face-off, Alton and judge Jet Tila experienced firsthand the eviliciousness that was the hamster wheel prep table, which Chef Bobby Deen was forced to contend with in Round 1's Denver omelet test. While their mission began simply enough — Alton and Jet working and walking together to make a joint omelet — the situation turned even more dreadful when it came to the final step in omelet prep, the all-important flip. "I dare you to flip that," Alton told Jet. "Double-dog dare." Ever the good sport, Jet said, "I can't say no." And it's a good thing he didn't, because he managed to pull off a (near) perfect flip while he and Alton continued to walk the wheel. One bit of the omelet didn't turn over, but Jet explained simply, "I'm going to hide it," before successfully plating the omelet.

It wasn't an April Fool's joke. We've really redesigned Techvibes.
As Canada's leading independent technology news site, we admit that our old look was becoming a little stale—and that's the last thing we want to be. So we've spent the past several months working behind the scenes to craft a dramatically improved news site, job board, events calendar, and company directory. We completed most of the changes last month, and are excited to announce today's official launch.
We're proud to present what we dub "New Techvibes." As one of Canada's oldest online tech communities, it was important for us to remain on the cutting edge—we're now sleeker, smoother, and sexier than ever before. While our full library of features will be rolled out gradually over the next few months, you can enjoy most of our redesign starting today.
Later this week, we'll get into more detail over the changes we've made, as well as the changes to come soon. And if you notice any glitches or errors, don't panic—that's to be expected with any major revamp. We're already aware of many of them and are working hard to correct the issues as swiftly as possible. If you spot anything wrong, just let us know in the comments section, via our new contact form, or via email.
It's not yet perfect, but every day we'll be refining and polishing it. We appreciate your patience and hope you enjoy the new look and functions.

Drunken Admiral Dinner
... Place, having dinner. Just as we were really getting worried that we will not have steak dinner at a good restaurant without any reservation, Thomas spotted a large group leaving the Drunken Admiral. Since we were just standing outside, we gave it a try. Wow! We were lucky. Instead of getting turned away, we were invited to wait for our table at the bar. Yippee. We get to wait and gave a drink while at it! Dinner was nice enough to. My steak was ...

There are more jewllery shops, takeaways, bars and a lot more package tourists who barely seem to venture beyond the perimeter of their luxury gulags, and seem quite content to pay up and wait for 'island nite' and the party bus to come around. What strikes you most about the island is how quiet everything seems compared to last time, there is a palpable lack of the traveller buzz (admittedly a sleepy island buzz) that seemed to be here ...

Ode To Third Gear
I am now in third gear. My beloved third gear. Fifteen minutes ago my nightmares were to real. First gear. Let off the clutch. Slowly give it gas. kill it. Repeat. Start the car. slowly let off the gas. To much gas. My tires are screaming like a bashee, but I am moving. Second gear jerks me back and forth but I am still moving and my blood pressure is returning to normal.I look to see who I must share the road with. I am watching all the other drivers, and they are mocking me. Smoothly passing me down the hard grey surface. I can only imagine what I must look like to them. My eyebrows forcing my eyes nearly shut into a squint of concentration, and pure fear. For now I am safe in third gear.
My fate quickly changes. I know a stop sign is coming. I can not see it yet, but I know it is there. Strategically stuck in the earth just for me. A sickening feeling fills up my stomach, and it creeps up my throat the closer I get. I can see it now. Red, and eight sides in all its glory. I down shift into second and my heart rate goes up simultaneously. I am now so close that the stop sign is laughing in my face. My lips tighten with a curl of disgust. My foot hovering over the clutch. My hand sweaty on the shift knob. I am nearly to a stop when I see the other three streets are deserted. No other cars to greet me. I accelerate and roll threw the four way stop. Not completely legal, but I am in survival mode. My only mission in life is to get home. I shift back into the comfort of third. I can feel the stop sign starring into the back of my head as I make my escape. I do not dare look back.
As soon as I exhale, it gets quickly sucked back in. Another stop sign. Clearly who ever designed these streets was trying to shave years off my life. I arrive to quickly and I am forced to put it in first gear to let the jerk who arrived before me go. My turn now. I am not moving. I begin to panic when I see headlights grow bigger behind me. Like two spot lights on the new clutch driver. I can not think clearly and I must go threw the wrong motions because I am still not moving. I turn the key in a fashion of defeat and give a quick wave to the victim waiting behind me. I turn my focus back to my feet and think back to all that was taught to me. I can do this. I let off the clutch, slowly giving it gas.A little more gas. I am moving! I give one more wave made out of exciment and relief. I slip it into a bumpy second leaving a trail of shame behind me.
Now I can relax.There will be no more stops on the route home if I can help it. Slowly I release muscle by muscle as I cruise to the security of home in third gear.

TL;DR: Working at TIM Group means having the responsibility to decide what work to do. The most obvious criteria is business value but I don't think that is enough.
At TIM Group we have been experimenting with self-organisation for a while. It's been a gradual process that started with the adoption of the Eight Behaviours for Smarter Teams and whose last steps were the removal of the line management structure in the technology department and a reiterated message from the CEO on employees insisting on being responsible.
My personal experience has been of changing team and/or project every six months or so which I find refreshing. Most of the time my moves were motivated by changing conditions and suggested by people higher in the hierarchy. A few times, very notably the last change of both team and project at the same time was decided and executed without indication from the management. I saw this happen multiple times since, to multiple people across multiple departments.
My colleagues and I have the responsibility of deciding what work to do. The executive team still has the authority to give orders and to fire people but that does not happen often. For all intents and purposes proposing projects, staffing those projects and delivering are now shared responsibilities.

Heart failure (HF) is the leading cause of adult hospitalization in the industrialized world and imposes a substantial burden on the public health. Over the past two decades, a large body of research using transgenic models has implicated a growing number of transcription factors and microRNAs as mediators of myocardial hypertrophy and dysfunction. Because few of these mediators have been confirmed in human hearts, there has been minimal progress in applying these insights to human HF therapeutics. We propose to overcome these barriers by leveraging unique bioresources at three U.S. transplant centers that have amassed repositories of high-quality myocardium from more than 1,900 human subjects over the past 15 years. The overall goals of this proposal are to use integrative genomics to test whether transcriptional regulatory programs identified in animal models are relevant in human HF and to perform unbiased screens for regulators of myocardial gene expression in human subjects. Integrative genomics elucidates disease mechanism by combining phenotype data with whole-genome genotypes and gene expression in a tissue of interest. To apply these approaches to the human heart, we have assembled a multidisciplinary team of experts in heart failure, clinical investigation, cardiac biology, and the genetics of complex disorders.
In Aim 1, we will perform a case-control study (n=1000) using integrated SNP and expression data to test which of 40 pre-specified transcriptional regulators contribute to advanced HF in humans.
In Aim 2, we will perform a cross-sectional study (n=1000) using integrated SNP and expression data across a broad range of myocardial phenotypes to test whether the same candidate regulators contribute to pathological remodeling. In both aims, secondary analyses and network modeling will enable genome-wide screens for unanticipiated mechanisms of transcriptional regulation in the human heart.
In Aim 3, we will test whether our most promising results identify genetic risk factors for cardiac remodeling in the general population through collaboration with EchoGen, a genome-wide association meta-analysis of echocardiographic traits in seven community-based cohorts (N=18,000). This research will test the relevance of knowledge derived from years of animal research while employing an unbiased discovery approach to reveal unanticipated mechanisms of human myocardial disease. Doing so will accelerate the translation of scientific knowledge to HF therapeutics. Moreover, all data and biosamples will be made available to the scientific community to promote a broad and durable impact on HF research.
In the midst of an ongoing heart failure epidemic, this research will determine the clinical relevance of heart failure mechanisms identified in animal models, help identify new therapeutic targets, and define mechanisms through which genetic variation influences the development of heart failure. By advancing clinical research in myocardial mechanisms of disease progression, this project will accelerate the development of therapeutic applications to improve the care of patients with heart failure.

AmericanWest Bank to sell Kellogg branch
AmericanWest Bank, based in Spokane, has entered an agreement to sell its Kellogg branch to Bank CDA, a North Idaho community bank.
The deal, once completed, will give Bank CDA a third North Idaho branch. It has branches in Coeur d'Alene and Hayden.
Exact terms of the deal have not been disclosed.
The agreement provides that Bank CDA will acquire roughly $25 million of deposits, about $3 million in active loans and an undisclosed amount of liabilities, according to a news release.
This is the second bank divestiture announced by AmericanWest this month.
Earlier, AmericanWest said it would sell eight branches in central and southern Utah to Cache Valley Bank. A community bank with a business focus, AmericanWest is shedding branches to better focus on its core mission, according to CEO and President Scott Kisting.
Both deals must first be approved by federal banking regulators. They are expected to be completed this fall.
Starbucks expands no-smoking policy
NEW YORK – Starbucks customers will soon have to stamp out their cigarettes before approaching the cafes.
The Seattle-based chain says it will start banning smoking within 25 feet of its stores beginning today. A Starbucks spokeswoman said the intent is to expand the indoor no-smoking policy to the outdoor seating areas.
The rule will apply to the 7,000 cafes owned and operated by Starbucks Corp., regardless of whether they have outdoor seating areas.
Jobless rate at new high across European Union
BRUSSELS – Unemployment across the 17 European Union countries that use the euro has hit another record high, the latest in a series of ignominious landmarks for the ailing single-currency zone.
Eurostat, the EU's statistics office, said Friday that unemployment rose to 12.2 percent in April from the previous record of 12.1 percent the month before. Another 95,000 people joined the ranks of the unemployed, taking the total to 19.38 million.
The figures mask big disparities among countries. While more than one in four people are unemployed in Greece and Spain, Germany's rate is at 5.4 percent.
Test wheat from U.S., EU advises members
BERLIN – The European Union is urging its 27 member states to test wheat shipments from the United States after unauthorized genetically modified grains were found in Oregon.
Tokyo on Thursday halted imports of certain types of wheat from the U.S. following the discovery of an experimental strain that was tested by Monsanto but never approved.
The European Union imports more than 1.1 million tons of U.S. wheat each year, mostly to Spain.
Advisory panel worried about Fed policies
WASHINGTON – Some members of a Federal Reserve banking advisory committee expressed concerns this month that the Fed's low interest-rate policies could be creating an "unsustainable bubble" in stock and bond markets.
The discussion among members of the banking advisory group and officials at the Federal Reserve showed the advisory panel believed that the Fed's policies have provided support for a slow economic recovery. But some advisory members worry that the policies may also lead to higher inflation or market instability.
The group is made up of private bankers from each of the Fed's 12 banking districts.

Congressman Jared Polis (D-Colo.) seems tailor-made for Reddit. He's gay. He's one of just a handful in Congress to sign the Declaration of Internet Freedom. He plays computer games. And he supports nationwide marijuana legalization, representing one of the few states where it's already legal.
For his third Ask Me Anything session with redditors, oddly scheduled for the night of President Obama's State of the Union address, Polis was cordial and happy to talk pot, politics, gay elected officials, and that one redditor who used to date his cousin.
Can you please throw in a small amendment making it legal to punch people who would insist on posting their stupid "I'm so high because it's legal" statuses and photos? (pedantic_dullard)
Yes. Truly folks, this does NOT help the cause
What moneyed interests are blocking real progress on marijuana legalization? (Salacious-)
the law enforcement industrial complex.
All those on the gravy train of the drug war which means parts of law enforcement and their private sector vendors.
This is @19natey6! I was curious to see if you actually run your Twitter account, or if I have been foolishly tweeting your intern. My friends make fun of my tweets to you, and I would love to prove them wrong! (LtJimmyCross)
yeah you're my buddy on twitter. Of course it's me. I would fire an intern for impersonating me!
Tell your friends I'm real, I remember giving you a restaurant recommendation once did u go?
Amsterdam Falafelshop! It was amazing! (LtJimmyCross)
Glad you tried it, I went there again two weeks ago. Hope you enjoyed DC!
Certain municipalities in Colorado are attempting to keep marijuana illegal in their jurisdictions. Some still write tickets for marijuana paraphernalia, accessories explicitly legalized in the state constitution. What can be done to see that these municipalities respect the will of the voters of Colorado? (hubert1504)
The will of the voters (Amendment 64) leaves it up to counties and cities how to regulate marijuana. I fully expect that many counties and cities will retain or enact bans. That is entirely their choice. The answer is to elect a different city council if you don't like their decisions.
Just as when federal prohibition ended for alcohol, many counties remaind "dry" and there are dry counties to this day.
Hi! I'm one of your constituents. I have a super important question for you: What's your Summoner name in League of Legends? (LucubrateIsh)
private msg me with yours and I'll friend u
Bill Gates said on reddit not too long ago "Higher is better." Do you agree with his statement sir ? (Hellshield)
Much of my district is more than 5,000 feet above sea level and I also represent mountains that are well over 10,000 feet.
Do you get tired of hearing how rich you are? (bizzle6)
How rich I am, how gay I am, how Jewish I am, how handsome I am (well, maybe not so much that last one).
I am fine with my identities of course (one has to get used to things). I always try not to judge people or assume things because of their identities. Someone's wealth, sexual orientation, etc says nothing about whether they are a good person or not.
What do you think of the record numbers of LGBT members of this congress (of which you are a member)? Will Steve King and Michelle Bachmann willingly go within 15 feet of you? (interstate73)
Yeah it's really exciting. We have six out LGBT House members now and one in the Senate. I think there will be more and more. I get along fine with Bachmann and King. I mean I haven't made out with them or anything, but we get along just fine.
I dated Shari for almost 5 years. How's she doing? (neuromanced)
u dated my cousin Shari? she's great, they have two kids
What's your favorite thing about being a Congressman? (777Iamnumber4)
The private planes, congressional yacht, private country club.... J/K (we have none of those things FYI)
My favorite thing is being able to make a difference on an issue. I helped delay SOPA which led to ya'll helping finally kill it. That felt really good.
think your actually a redditor who happens to be a congressman. (thestupids)
yeah pretty much

This week on DVD/Blu-ray: One of the breakouts of last year's Sundance Film Festival; a moving father-son drama; Clint Eastwood's latest; a documentary that delves into the independent filmmaking movement of the '70s; and an overlooked masterpiece from Germany.
#1. Critic's Pick: "Martha Marcy May Marlene" (DVD and Blu-ray)
Few indie films broke out quite the way "Martha Marcy May Marlene" did at last year's Sundance Film Festival. When first-time feature filmmaker Sean Durkin and his star, Elizabeth Olsen, both arrived in Park City, they were unknowns. When they left, after seeing their film go to Fox Searchlight, they left as indie stars. The latest good news for the pair: Both Durkin and Olsen are up for Spirit Awards (Best First Feature/Best Actress) at Sunday's event in Los Angeles.
The film concerns Martha (Olsen), a young woman who flees a mysterious cult to find refuge at her sister's lakefront house in Connecticut. Once relocated, Martha begins having flashbacks to the horrors she was subjected to at the hands of the cult's fearsomely enigmatic leader, Patrick (John Hawkes).
"Marked by patient long-takes and the uneasy quietude that accompanies Martha's constant disconnect from her surrounding environment, 'Martha' derives much of its power from a stark visual style that's easily readable as the sum of its part," wrote Eric Kohn in his review out of Sundance. "Photographed by prolific cinematographer Jody Lee Lipes ('Tiny Furniture') and co-produced by Antonio Campos (director of the Cannes entry 'Afterschool,' produced by Durkin and shot by Lipes), the movie contains a haunting depiction of the claustrophobia associated with the tendency for developing minds to question their surroundings."
Extras: The most intriguing extra on the disc is surely director Durkin's short film "Mary Last Seen," a prequel of sorts to the feature. Also included: multiple featurettes on the making of the film; a conversation with the filmmakers; "Marcy's Song" music video by actor John Hawkes; and, of course, the theatrical trailer.
Go here for Indiewire's chat with Olsen; and here for our profile of Durkin.
#2. "The Way" (DVD and Blu-ray)
One of the biggest surprises at the 2011 indie box office was this audience charmer from Emilio Estevez, starring his father, Martin Sheen. In the drama, Sheen plays Tom, an American doctor who flies out to St. Jean Pied de Port to collect the remains of his son who was killed in a storm while walking The Camino de Santiago. On a quest to understand his son better, Tom embarks on the historical pilgrimage.
As Kohn wrote in his review, "Estevez treats the drama with a straight-faced, utterly earnest approach with dual respect for the material and the audience's awareness of how it can go wrong. By playing it straight, 'The Way' never goes off the deep end."
Go here to watch a video chat with Estevez and Sheen from Indiewire's TIFF 2010 coverage.
#3. "J. Edgar" (DVD and Blu-ray)
Despite being shut out of the Oscar race, don't overlook Clint Eastwood's masterful look into the life of the controversial FBI figure, penned by Oscar-winner Dustin Lance Black ("Milk") and starring Leonardo DiCaprio in tour-de-force performance as the titular man.
"After I saw 'J. Edgar' a few weeks ago, I wrote that it's a late, kick-out-the-jams masterpiece," Film Comment contributor Amy Taubin shared with Indiewire. "After a second viewing, I feel the same. What Eastwood does to the conventions of realism is wild. There are bits of 'Kane' and bits of 'Psycho,' but a lot of the movie is reminiscent of an amateur production of Tennessee Williams where the actors are 20 years too young for the roles they are playing, but nevertheless their struggles move you to tears."
Extras: Not much. There's "The Most Powerful Man in the World," a making of featurette; a digital copy of the film is also included.
#4. "Blank City" (DVD and Blu-ray)
Céline Danhier's documentary "Blank City" is set in the late 1970s, back when New York City was cheap and nasty, to document the rise of renegade filmmakers who shook up independent filmmaking. The film weaves an oral history of the 'No Wave Cinema' and 'Cinema of Transgression' movements with interviews from the people who began it all.
Extras: Director Celine Dahner provides an interview. Other extras include: deleted/extended scenes; out-takes; and a trailer
#5. "World on a Wire" (DVD and Blu-ray)
After returning to theaters for a limited run last year, R.W. Fassbinder's gloriously bonkers and endlessly inventive sci-fi epic (it clocks in at over three-and-a-half hours!) makes its Blu-ray debut, courtesy of the Criterion Collection. The thriller centers on Fred Stiller, a cybernetics engineer who uncovers a massive corporate conspiracy. Don't let that description fool you. If you're seeking a cohesive narrative, look elsewhere.
Extras: As with all Criterion Collection releases, this one doesn't skimp on the bonus features. The film itself is a new digital transfer which was overseen by cinematographer, Michael Ballhaus. Also included: "Fassbinder's World on a Wire: Looking Ahead to Today," a documentary about director Rainer Fassbinder's making of the film; a new interview with German-film scholar Gerd Gemunden; new English subtitles; and a booklet containing an essay by film critic Ed Halter.

Mini Medal + 1m Jumper Round
These are some video's of an A show I was at earlier in the year. First video is of my round in the 1m jumper. We had that one rail- my fault! In the round before I hit the SAME rail so I put on a little extra spur to get over it and well... Didnt work out for me! Lesson learnt!
Second video is of a mini medal, we where called back to flat and I think it went pretty good. I would post the flat video but my mom lost me after a couple times around the ring and video'd another girl for the rest of the class!

Project Description
We are currently using a digital advertising(signage) web based platform. The software is called Xibo [url removed, login to view]
It is a locally hosted platform(XAMP/WAMPP) using a HTML frontend and a MySQL & PHP backend.
The platform allows the user to create layouts on screen and divide the screen into different sized regions depending on the users requirements. The user then adds media to the various regions. Once the user has created a layout on the server, the client side part of the platform then checks the server for the users layout and it's content and then plays the media.
Currently the user has to create multiple layouts and can not duplicate a region within one layout to another layout. This is a feature we require. And we believe it can be achieved by linking a button on the frontend GUI to a duplicate table script that copies the required region from one layout to another.
There is a permission system in place and these permissions will need to be kept in mind when duplicating the relevant tables. And this option should only be able to be done my a super admin of the platform.
So before you bid, please download and install the server software from the link provided above. We are using the Stable Release 1.42.
Thank you for your time.

Yanni's and Lemoni Bar and GrillYou love Yanni's. So do we. Their adjoined Opa Bar seats about 85 people and is open for lunch, dinner or just cocktails. Painted deep red, dimly lit and accented with lots of dark wood, the lounge provides a stark contrast to the bright, light and airy dining rooms at Yanni's. It's an ideal place for pre- or post-movie cocktails and snacks, or more substantial cuisine. Their green chile Bloody Mary will certainly boost your brunch. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:12.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/12.0
Build ID: 20120420145725
Steps to reproduce:
Just as usual I synchronized my Android cellphone with MyPhone Explorer from FJ Software after updating to TB 12.01 and Lightning 1.4.
Actual results:
All yearly occurring days (birthdays/weddingdays etc) before 1.1.1970 produce an corrupted date. More users report this problem in the forum of FJ Software and found out that this happened with dates before 1970. See here (in German): http://www.fjsoft.at/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16470
I found another post on the German sunbird-kalender.de forum regarding an unclear error depending on pre-1970 dates: http://www.sunbird-kalender.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=3781 (youtube-Video showing the problem).
Expected results:
Synch dates as usual!
Were there any changes made in 1.4 that could lead to the problem?
I just downgrded to TB 11 and Lightning 1.3. Result:
It's getting even worse! All recurring dates before 1970 are now corrupted in my ics file! All dates in the ics file have now a year with 1970 or 1971 the day and month is still OK. This is getting critical!
I have Tbird 12.0.1 and lightning 1.4
I too have recently started to have issues with recurring dates (birthdays) corrupting to negative months and years. A recent May date appeared as December 8 -35, -25164.
This has lost me inportant personal information. I AM NOT Happy
I see the latest Lightning is now shown as 1.3! Nobody said the 1.4 was a trial or has it been withdrawn.
Also needing to set up a separate address to report bugs is a pain.
Mozilla ia starting to get like Microsoft and Apple it seems. Keep the users in the dark and feed them Sh*t
I can't be sure when this happens but it may be related to when reminders activate.
Not all dates pre 1970 are affected at once, but it does seem to be older dated events (like Birthdays) which are affected. Hope this helps

@derekund: Are you also using MyPhoneExplorer?
Hi, I have also problem with some series dates (birthday's) before 1970. The problem existed since Lighning 1.4 and it still remains with Lighning 1.5.1. with Thunderbirg 13.0.1
The problem was triggered after I have manually changed a birth **year** in Thunderbird to 1950 an start after this a sychronisation to my Mobile Device an then to the Calender (Mobile, then Ligning 1.4) in the folling way:
1. Entry of Birthday data in the Thunderbird address book
2. Sync address book with mobile device address book (Application Birdisync)
3. Create series entries in the mobile calendar by the application "Manila Birthday"
4. Sync with PC (to Lightning)
*** AFTER a restart of Thunderbird the dates in Lighning are incorrect with an incorrect start and end date ***
The Problem can be reproduced and is also tested from the birdysync support team, to reproduce the problem: Manually create a yearly event with a date before 1970 in Thunderbird - Restart Thunderbird
Are you working on the correction of the bug already and can we expect a correction in the next release?
Best Regards
The problem is not specific to BirdieSync (tests were done with BirdieSync extension disabled).
To reproduce the problem:
- Manually create a yearly event with a date before 1970 in
Lightning (for instance: 12h30 - 13h30, 12th of June 1962, Yearly)
- Restart Thunderbird
The event has now an incorrect start and end date.
If you look at Lightning database, the value of the stored "event start" and "event end" columns of the event before Thunderbird restart are incorrect: "1.84465056529096e+19" and "1.84465056565096e+19"
Could you have a look at this problem ? It impacts all users who store birthdays in Lightning database (and want to synchronize them with their mobile device).
Thanks a lot.

I still haven't been able to reproduce this, for me the dates still remain correctly set at 1962. Can you reproduce this with a new clean Thunderbird profile with only Lightning installed?
(In reply to Matthew Mecca [:mmecca] from comment #7)
Thanks a lot for looking at this problem.
I tried with a new empty profile (with only Lightning installed and Test Pilot) and still could reproduce the problem.
Note that the problem doesn't occur if you use a day event. You must set a start and end time (like 12h30 - 13h30).
Something doesn't float quite right with such events. Using steps in comment 6 got me:
After restart it had changed to:
This was with 1.7a2 from 20120615.
In 1.3 the after restart result is
and in 1.4 it is
so whatever causes it seems to mess up less since 1.4

I can reproduce this on Windows 7 but not on Ubuntu. After restart there are multiple instances of:
Timestamp: 6/27/2012 6:57:55 PM
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE) [nsIScriptableDateFormat.FormatDate]" nsresult: "0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE)" location: "JS frame :: resource://calendar/modules/calUtils.jsm -> file:///C:/Users/.../extensions/%7Be2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103%7D/calendar-js/calDateTimeFormatter.js :: formatDateLong :: line 148" data: no]
I also tried adding non-repeating events with a start date in 1962, none of these appear in the unifinder with the "All Events" filter selected or in the views after restart.
The problem with dates before 1970 is just related to a restart of Thunderbird.
I have 13.0.1 and Lightning 1.5.2.
I created a new calendar with one entry and exported:
PRODID:-//Mozilla.org/NONSGML Mozilla Calendar V1.1//EN
SUMMARY:Alexandra *1961
I closed and restarted thunderbird. Now the export shows:
PRODID:-//Mozilla.org/NONSGML Mozilla Calendar V1.1//EN
SUMMARY:Alexandra *1961
Thus simply the DTSTART and DTEND dissappeared, which means
there is no longer any information about the birthday.
This update really messed up most of all my birthday
entries, which I now have to find again in some written
paper documentation.
(In reply to Matthew Mecca [:mmecca] from comment #11)
> I can reproduce this on Windows 7 but not on Ubuntu.
I take that back, on Ubuntu (32 bit) dates before 1970 are 1 second off, while on Win 7 (64 bit) the date is completely corrupted.
*** Bug 764049 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
*** Bug 772023 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
For your information: The problem with dates before 1970 was identified as a bug that was introduced in Thunderbird 12.
Lightning 1.6 - that was released yesterday for Thunderbird 14 - contains a workaround for the Thunderbird bug. Therefore it should be possible to correctly create events with dates before 1970 again.
Events that were broken using the previous Thunderbird 12 and 13 release currently stay broken until a fix is available. You could try to workaround by editing and recreating the events.
Created attachment 653232 [details] [diff] [review]
Fix v1
Converts the incorrect unsigned nativeTime values back to negative before converting to a calDateTime.
Some results have a rounding error of 1024 microseconds that rounds to a full second off the converted date value, I'm not sure if there's any way around that.
Comment on attachment 653232 [details] [diff] [review]
Fix v1
Review of attachment 653232 [details] [diff] [review]:
Maybe you can truncate the microseconds instead of rounding? I guess since its currently not possible to create a date so far into the future anyway, so this won't distract anything. We should get rid of this code in a few years though since the original bug is fixed :)

Information relating to the specific services we offer and what you must do to request a service is available on the pages in the left hand navigation. We continually seek out ways to improve our operations and the way we provide our services and welcome any feedback or suggestions you have.
We welcome Expressions of Interest from community members willing to contribute to the governance of the University as an external member of Council or one of its committees or boards. There are often specific skills required for a vacancy, but if you have an interest in governance and would like to help shape the direction of the University, please refer to the Expressions of Interest item which can be downloaded on this page.
Please leave a comment about your rating so we can better understand how we might improve the page.

What to do
Weeds are growing fast in earth that is still warm. Bury them by mulching thickly with compost, or cut them off with a sharp hoe. Watch out for bindweed among permanent plantings of shrubs or between soft fruit such as raspberries and blackcurrants. Glyphosate kills it, but you may need to persevere with more than one application.
Scrub greenhouses inside and out with a disinfectant that will shift pests that thought they had winter board and lodging there. Scrape moss gently away from greenhouse roofs.
Plant daffodil bulbs to naturalise in grass. The best tool for this job is a long-handled bulb planter. The bulb goes in the hole, is sealed up with the plug and miraculously heaves its way through to the light in spring.
A lengthy trial of bulbs for naturalising at RHS Wisley showed that the deep yellow 'Golden Harvest', creamy white 'Mount Hood' and the pink tinged 'Mrs RO Backhouse' all continue to flower well after 10 years in the ground.
In a wild flower meadow, less blatant types are called for. Stick to species or near-species such as the Tenby daffodil, Narcissus obvallaris (£13 per 100 from Parkers) or 'February Gold' (£11.50 per 100). Bonemeal will help them compete on more equal terms with grass.
Puschkinia and Anemone blanda will also naturalise very successfully and should be planted as soon as possible. Puschkinia can be planted in short grass, rockeries, or in a border.
Pot up rooted cuttings of zonal and ivy-leaved pelargoniums, so that the plants have a chance to develop a decent root system before winter sets in. Use a 9cm (3.5in) pot; firm the compost down round the cuttings.
Lift main crop carrots and store them in buckets of damp sand in a cool place inside. Some varieties like 'Chantenay' and 'Autumn King' stand well in the ground, but may need a loose mulch of straw later on.
