Go (1999)
Ronna: I need a favor.
Todd: Wow, I didn't know we were such good friends, Ronna! Because if we were, you would know I give head before I give favors and I didn't even give my best friends head, so the chances of your getting a favor is pretty fucking slim.
Claire: Gay men are so hot. It's tragic.
Zack: It really didn't go as bad as it could have.
Adam: A girl is dead, Zack.
Zack: I didn't say it went perfectly.
Stringy Haired Woman: Don't think you're something you're not. I used to have your job.
Ronna: Look how far it got you.
Todd: You come here, out of the blue, asking for 20 hits. Just so happens 20 is the magic number where intent to sell becomes trafficking!
Ronna: Todd, I would never fuck you like that.
Todd: How would you fuck me?
Victor Sr.: You know what wakes me up in the middle of the night covered in a cold sweat? Knowing that you aren't any worse than anyone else in your whole screwed up generation. In the old days, you know how you got to the top? Huh? By being better than the guy ahead of you. How do you people get to the top? By being so fucking incompetent, that the guy ahead of you can't do his job, so he falls on his ass and congratulations, you are now on top. And now the top is down here, it used to be up here... and you don't even know the fucking difference.
[Selling allergy medicine as drugs]
Ronna: You know what makes it even better? If you take like a lot of pot with it. I mean like, like a lot of pot.
Todd: What do you want for Christmas, Claire?
Claire: I don't know.
Todd: Do you want to get laid?
Claire: No.
Todd: No, you don't wanna get laid, or no, you do, but you don't wanna get laid - with me?
[last lines]
Mannie: So, what are we doing for New Year's?
Singh: Just so we're clear, you stole a car, shot a bouncer, and had sex with two women?
[Referring to the Family Circus comic strip]
Todd: And it's always there, in the lower right hand corner, just waiting to suck.
Simon Baines: He's a good guy.
Marcus: Oh, he's the good drug dealer.
Burke: Listen, I just want to make a deal here. Can we make a deal?
Ronna: Who the hell are you? Monty Hall?
Tiny: And whack! It hits her in the eye. And her contact? It's, like, stuck on the end of my dick!
[Tiny waits for a reaction, but his friends are unimpressed. Only Marcus, in the front passenger seat, turns his head, alertly, like a lion smelling prey]
Tiny: Yo, her contact was stuck on the end of my dick, yo!
Marcus: Was it hard or was it soft?
Tiny: What, my dick?
Singh: The contact lens!
Marcus: Do you remember if it was a colored lens? That she used to have two blue eyes, and now she had one blue and one brown?
Tiny: [Still elated from telling his story] Hey, what the fuck does that matter?
Marcus: [Marcus turns to look at Tiny over the headrest of the front passenger seat, and stares him straight in the eye] It matters because it happened to ME. That was my story. I told that story a year ago, man!
Tiny: Aw, no.
Marcus: The difference is that I knew those small but important details. That and, and my story was true.
Tiny: Oh.
[Embarrassed, he looks out the window, away from Marcus]
Tiny: Whatever.
Marcus: Whatever?
Tiny: Whatever!
Marcus: What do you mean, whatever?
Tiny: Why don't you pull your stinky-dinky out of my ass? I'm just trying to make conversation. Fuck! Come on, why don't you give a nigger a break?
Marcus: [Marcus turns around in the car seat again] "Nigger"? What nigger?
[touches his own chest]
Marcus: THIS nigger?
Tiny: Yo, I told you, my mother's mother's mother were black!
Marcus: Your mother's mother's mother, fuck - this ain't "Roots", mutha... Man, I wanna see a picture of this Nubian princess.
[angry cross-talk]
Marcus: If you were any less black, you would be clear.
Tiny: That bitch was black as night!
Singh: Okay! Stop! Truce!
Tiny: But I see black. Because I know I am. Color's a state of mind, Marcus!
Marcus: You know what, you right. Thank you, Rhythm Nation.
[And the laughter and insults continue... ]
Adam: Is it safe to have a radio attached to my balls like this?
[Claire and Todd are having breakfast together, and he's reading the funnies in the newspaper]
Claire: So, what do you have against The Family Circus?
Todd: Okay. You sit down and read your paper, and you're enjoying your entire two-page comics spread. Right? And then there's the Family fucking Circus, bottom right-hand corner, just waiting to suck.
Tiny: Yo, I told you, my mother's mother's mother was black!
Marcus: Your mother's mother's mother, f*** - this ain't "Roots", mutha... Man, I wanna see a picture of this Nubian princess. If you were any less black, you would be clear.
Marcus: If you were any less black, you'd be clear.
Zack: Let's think about this logically. She's either alive, or she's dead.
[Adam and Zack are in the rain trying to make space in their trunk to put a body in it]
Zack: Wait! Stop! Hold it!
Adam: What? What?
Zack: It's a Miata!
Simon Baines: They can't evict you on Christmas! Then you'd be ho-ho-homeless!
Marcus: Are you happy now? Is your British ass happy?
[after the wild night]
Mannie: So... what are we doing for New Years?
Claire: You're making me an accessory!
Ronna: Okay Claire, that bracelet of mine you're wearing, that's an accessory.
[Claire walks out of the apartment - a gunshot is heard from the apartment - she freezes]
Simon Baines: [from the apartment] It's alright. I'm okay.
[after being asked by Burke to sell the Amway-like Confederated Products]
Zack: I need to bathe in sin.
Adam: With me, or one of your other boyfriends?
Ronna: [before selling baby aspirin to a party-goer] Show me your tits.
[while escaping from Victor Sr. and Junior Jr]
Tiny: WHO DA FUCK WE RUNNIN' FROM?
Zack: [after being asked by Burke to sell Confederated Products] Uhh, wait. Wait. You want us to sell Amway?
Burke: It's Confederated Products. It's a different company, it's a different quality of product.
Marcus: Get away from me! You're bad luck!
Marcus: I'm not a bathroom attendant!
Todd: Hey Ronna, how are sales?
Ronna: Todd, I can explain
Todd: I'm not going to ask you to. It's not like I'm in a highly ethical industry. But Goddamned, Ronna. You fucked me over for twenty lousy hits!
Victor Sr.: Let's gut this motherfucker!

I much preferred this cream eyeshadow to Benefit's Tattle Tale. I got this eyeshadow in Silver and the texture is great - it's a cream shadow but it's not too creamy and is really malleable. The only thing I didn't like about it is the fact that there isn't a bigger range of colours. All the colours are quite dark and highly pigmented, meaning I can only really wear them at night, but the silver is perfect and accentuates my grey / green eyes.

John Ingram (martyr)
|John Ingram
Stoke Edith, Herefordshire
|26 July 1594
Gateshead or Newcastle-on-Tyne
The Blessed John Ingram (1565 – 26 July, 1594) was an English Jesuit and martyr from Stoke Edith, Herefordshire, who was executed in Newcastle-on-Tyne on 26 July 1594, during the reign of Elizabeth I.[1]
Ingram was probably the son of Anthony Ingram of Wolford, Warwickshire, by Dorothy, daughter of Sir John Hungerford.
He began his education in Worcestershire and attended New College, Oxford. He then converted to Catholicism and studied at the English College, Rheims, at the Jesuit College, Pont-a-Mousson, and at the English College, Rome. He was ordained at Rome in 1589; and then, early in 1592, he went to Scotland. There he befriended many powerful people. He acted as chaplain to Walter Lindsay of Balgavie for 18 months.[2]
Captured on the Tyne on 25 November 1593, he was first imprisoned at Berwick; then at Durham, York, and in the Tower of London, where he was severely tortured and wrote twenty Latin epigrams, which survive.
After his ordeal at the Tower, he was sent North again and imprisoned at York, Newcastle, and Durham. There he was tried with John Boste and George Swallowell, a converted minister. He was convicted under a law, which made the mere presence in England of a priest ordained abroad high treason, even though there was no evidence that he had ever acted as a priest while in England.[3] There is evidence that someone in Scotland offered the English Government a thousand crowns to spare Ingram's life, all in vain.
Death and beatification[edit]
Ingram was executed at Gateshead (or Newcastle-on-Tyne) on 26 July 1594.
He was beatified in 1929 by Pope Pius XI and his anniversary is 24 July.

Africa this week lost another leader, an important and special one, who will be better judged by history than by his own ANC party. After nearly 10 years as president of South Africa and five as Nelson Mandela's deputy president, Thabo Mbeki was ignominiously forced to step down on Thursday just six months before his term in office was due to end.
It didn't have to be this way, and it is a great shame that it was. It was a harsh, ungracious and unnecessary way to deal with an essentially decent and proud man, who had done a lot for his country and for southern Africa. And it says a lot for Mbeki, born and bred a loyal ANC cadre, that he bowed to the democratic process, even though denied the pomp and ceremony that would have been his after April's elections.
The next day, contained and dignified, he appeared on television to thank, without a flicker of bitterness or irony, the ANC "for giving me the opportunity to serve in public office". He talked of his successes, mostly on the economic front, but also acknowledged "the abject poverty we still find coexisting side by side with extraordinary opulence". And he reiterated his vision "of a South Africa that is democratic, non-racial, non-sexist and prosperous". And then he was gone – just like that. By Thursday South Africa had its third post-apartheid president – Kgalema Motlanthe, a moderate and respected ANC official who will keep the seat warm until Jacob Zuma takes over next April.
Ten years ago, as Nelson Mandela prepared to step down after only one five-year term as president, the great cry was: "What happens after Mandela?" What happened was Mbeki and another 10 years of political stability and economic growth. Those years have put South Africa in a much better place than it was at the end of apartheid, and Mbeki has had a lot to do with it.
Even when Mandela was president, it was Mbeki who did the heavy lifting, ran the government and developed the free-market economics which are greatly admired around the world and which have spawned a rich black middle class and even richer white and Indian communities.
It is true that the electricity supply has lagged behind demand; there is a major skills shortage and crime is close to being out of control. But Johannesburg today is the finest and most modern city in Africa; shopping centres, airports, roads, rail and ports are first world; white farmers still farm; vines are harvested; international mining companies still dig out bountiful quantities of platinum, gold, chrome and coal. This is no Zimbabwe, nor ever will be.
Mbeki gets little credit for it. In the immediate aftermath of his departure, his image, inside and outside South Africa, is of a flawed, austere and stubborn man whose legacy is an economic boom which has unfortunately has left the poor behind: unemployment is at 38 per cent and six million people (out of 43 million) are HIV positive, the majority of whom will almost certainly die from Aids. He is also seen as the man who couldn't say "boo" to Mugabe, even though he did at the very end cobble together a kind of peace deal there.
That's the case for the prosecution. The case for the defence is more complex, and elusive. Mandela was always wonderfully fruitful territory for historians and biographers and books, but students of Mbeki have found the ground hard going. Mark Gevisser, a fine biographer, after years of research and 800 pages admitted he never got below the surface of the man inside the Turnbull & Asser shirts and beautifully tailored suits.
Mandela, who never liked Mbeki and openly admitted that he had made "a mistake" in accepting him as his deputy, once remarked: "The trouble with Thabo is he is not an African." It seems an extraordinary thing to say about a fellow Xhosa who created the whole concept of what he called the "African Renaissance", but Mandela meant something different.
Somewhere, maybe during his student years at Southampton University or the Lenin Institute in Moscow, Mbeki seems to have lost touch with his roots. Along the way he developed a reputation as an aloof, intellectually arrogant and humourless man. Someone once said of Mbeki that he was "the only African who can't dance", and it was almost true.
As president he became more and more isolated and distant. His cultural tastes, although fairly eclectic, are often more Western than African. He once quoted an entire Yeats poem to 5,000 bemused ANC delegates, many of whom didn't even know where Ireland was, let alone Thoor Ballylee.
For relaxation he often read Heaney or the Shakespeare plays. He researched his own speeches, sitting up half the night browsing the internet, reading blogs and absorbing odd bits of sometimes irrelevant information. It was always alleged by his inner circle that he first formed his eccentric views on Aids when he stumbled on a site where perfectly respectable (then) scientists and opinion-formers argued that the Western Aids lobbies had, for their own financial reasons, vastly exaggerated the seriousness of the pandemic, and that HIV was unproven as the sole precursor to full-blown Aids which could just as easily be the result of malnutrition. Under Andrew Neil, The Sunday Times held pretty much the same view.
Mbeki has never tortured or killed anyone, as Mugabe and so many African (including South African) leaders have. He has rigidly fought against corruption in his own government, and striven to embed respect for the rule of law and human rights "as the cornerstone of our democracy".
None of this makes him a bad man. He deserves better.

Cardmon Hero is a cute anime style MMORPG originally announced in 2006. How has it fared since its global English launch a year ago? Find out in our latest review!
Launched in January 2011, Cardmon Hero was a noteworthy MMORPG which received a fair amount of attention when it was initially announced (in Korea) back in 2006. One year after the launch of the global English version, has the game held up well over the years? Well, from what I can tell, its problems run a bit deeper than just its age.
Read more of Adrian Liew's Cardmon Heroes: Our Official Review.
Is this another in the trend of 'we have to publish more reviews'? Because I and probably many others aren't really looking for games like these.
Other than that a pleasant read to waste my time on ^_^
"We need men who can dream of things that never were." - John F. Kennedy
And for MMORPGs ever so true...
Well I still welcome the fact that they are putting these reviews up because although us who are regulars might not be interested in these games a huge number of people who visit the website will appreciate them.
I like the fact that they are doing these. It helps if I'm bored and I see something I may like. Or it lets me read a lengthy review on something I don't care about to pass some time. Either way it's a win win in my opinion.
this game has been dead for a while now bc the developer stopped updating it / dropped in the overseas counterpart so nothing new come into us version
Our goal is to eventually review EVERY game on our Game List. Think about that for a minute...
Try to be excellent to everyone you meet. You never know what someone else has seen or endured.

All I can do is wait for that moment. ^.^ But it just seems to me that there's a wave of somewhat older, not that good, f2p games is coming out with hardly anything worth checking out for people used to sub-based games. Although I must say I did try many of the better f2p ones already, so it might just be me left without new games
I do however appreciate the effort and the goal. Always good to see people working hard. And on top of that the review is well-written.
"We need men who can dream of things that never were." - John F. Kennedy
And for MMORPGs ever so true...
I've actually played CardMon Hero during its CBT and OBT. I agree with you that the population is almost non-existent, especially if you just played it recently. But during its launch and a few months after, the game started strong with lots of people playing it. It is actually fun because it's good to collect monster cards for your cardbook and as your allies. I guess that's the main point of the game. The problem, however, is that the developers left it behind so the population slowly dwindled until nothing is left. If you played it a lot earlier, it was really fun.
Anyway, you're right when you said it's going to close down since they already announced its closing. The game closed down yesterday, or will close down today. Not exactly sure which.
Yeah, I just tried to look into this game and its gone from the website. I check the Facebook and it has a closure announcement. A little late with the review mmorpg haha
Yeah maybe the reviewer had this sitting around and found out it was the last day and felt like they had to rush it out so it wouldn't be wasted. That is the only thing I can think of.
I mean checking the main site said Cardmon close for at least a month. What is odd is the people obviously had info about the Korean version going belly up and the Japanese additions but didn't know about the shutdown??
Well all that aside Cardmon Hero was actually a very fun game. The issue I had was that you could not kill the bosses to get the cards. Well you didn't really have a chance was more like it. The game bascially forced grouping by having a short timer on bosses. If you didn't kill it in 5 or 10 minutes, it went back to full health. When you got later in the game and there were 5-10 pieces to get, it would be difficult since certain pieces only came from higher difficulties of the boss. Also made field bosses impossible.
T3fun was pretty terrible. They gave up on Aika pretty fast too if I recall. Just to give you an idea the last update was April 2011. They bascially kept the game open to siphon money from the unsespecting. It was pretty low.
I really wish a real company had the IP. Losing the Korean version was a huge blow, but as it was shown with the Japanese version, a dedicated team could have come in to smooth out bugs and keep it going. The other pieces were in the Korean version so worse comes to worse they ask for the code and insert it themselves.
Well RIP Cardmon, you were a fun game and hopefully you get a second chance in some form down the road.

New York City might be home to the big houses, but this scrappy city just happens to be the epicenter of publishing on the Best Coast. Join Alexis Coe every Wednesday for Read Local, a series on books produced in the Bay Area.
The published title may read Poems for the Millennium, but editors Pierre Joris and Habib Tengour spent years calling it Diwan Ifrikiya, a combination of the Arabic word for "a gather, a collection or anthology" and an Arabization of the Latin word "Africa." Whatever it is called, they hoped the fourth volume in this ongoing series will, to borrow a line from Frank O'Hara, satisfy readers who want to "see what the poets of North Africa are doing these days."

And just what are these post-independence and diasporic writers, situated in the region known as the Maghreb, doing the present day, post-colonial world? Negotiating oral history, traditional and experimental forms, new translations, geographical treatises, philosophical and esoteric traditions, and song lyrics, as it turns out -- not that you'd know it.
"North Africa is a region whose cultural achievements -- including their impact on and importance for Western culture -- have been not only passively neglected but often actively 'disappeared' or written out of the record," write the editors, before introducing a tome meant to right this wrong. Their book comes at a time when there are a slew of English titles published on the Arab world, but unlike the majority of them, this volume actually encourages cultural appreciation.
I could wax rhapsodic about these poems for months while railing against the our political mistakes in the region over the last century, but that would be a poor, and repetitive, use of everyone's time.
Instead, consider excerpts from the following two poems. The first was written on the right and left side of poet Wallada bint al-Mutakfi's robe, and translated by Abdullah al-Udhari. Wallada bint al-Mutakfi (994-1091), was the daughter of last Umayyad Cordonan caliph, Muhammid III. He was assassinated without a male heir, and his properties went to his daughter, who opened a palace and literary hall. She was considered somewhat controversial, as the fair-haired beauty was known to appear in public without her hijab. She was also known as intelligent and proud, as the prose will show. She considered the poet Ibn Zaydun the love of her life.
Six Poems
If you were faithful to our love you wouldn't have lost your head over my maid.
You dropped a branch in full bloom for a lifeless twig.
You know I am the moon yet you fell for a tiddly star.
Ibn Zaidun, though a man of quality, loves the unbent rods in men's trousers.
If he saw a joystick dangling from a palm tree he'd fly after it like a craving bird.
Is there a way we can meet and share our love once more?
In the winter I used to wait on hot coals for your visits.
Now I feel worse since you've gone and confirmed by fears.
The night rolls on, but absence stays and patience won't free me from longing's grip.
I hope Allah waters the new lands that's become our home.
The writer Mustapha Benfodil was one of the most important literary figures to emerge during the Black Decade of the civil war in Algeria. Born in 1968, he last published a play, Clandestinopolis, in Paris. Here is an excerpt translated by Nicole Peyrafitte.
I conned myself on a Levantine Day
I ground my soul
I crushed my nights and turned them into grass
I added some tobacco from the south
And I rolled a reefer
I asked the hill for a light
It gave me a tank
Pulverized by a scream
I asked a fear peddler for a light
He handed me a poster
Bearing the effigy of Armageddon
Poems for the Millennium: Book of North African Literature ($39.95) was recently published by the University of California Press.

Abandoned Rubber BowlWednesday, January 27, 2016
The Rubber Bowl was one of those places I had known about for a little while but wasn't all that concerned with actually getting to. I'm not interested in football at all, and I really didn't see how an abandoned stadium could be all that cool. I had seen a few photos but wasn't too impressed. I'm fully prepared to admit I was wrong, the Rubber Bowl was pretty darn awesome! I'm super pumped about my photos.
Let's back up a second though. The Rubber Bowl is a, now abandoned, stadium in Akron, Ohio that was built in 1940. It was primarily used as a football field, both professional and high school, but also hosted concerts, and other events. Large names such as Black Sabbath, Bob Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel, Alice Cooper, Tom Petty, The Grateful Dead, and Aretha Franklin, among many others, have all played here.
Since 2008, when the Rubber Bowl's home team The Zips, moved to a new stadium this place has sat abandoned. In 2012, a marketing company with big hopes purchase the stadium for $38,000. They have yet to do anything with the property but claim that the stadium could be up and running within six to eight months if they wanted. Apparently, "most of the damage is cosmetic."
After finishing up shooting, we ended up finding a football. Jeff, Jason, and Brandon tossed it around while I laid on the ground and soaked up the sunshine. Playing catch might be something totally normal for most dudes but these are three guys I have never seen show any interest in sports before so it was particularly amusing watching them throw the ball back and forth. There were a few random tires scattered across the field so they took turns trying to throw the ball through a rolling tire. We could have hung out a lot longer and I'd have been a happy gal. The sunshine, and blue skies were a nice change of pace from the constant gray Ohio has been. And the artificial turf? SO warm! For a brief moment it was easy to forget it was we're smack dab in the middle of January.

The field looks to be in pretty great condition considering!ReplyDeleteReplies
I know! It's funny how beat up everything else looks and then the field is only ruined in a few spots where people cut up sections.Delete
I agree that I was distracted by the wreck of the stands until your shot of the 50 yard line revealed how spectacular the turf looks in comparison. I don't blame the kids for coming out to play either.ReplyDeleteReplies
Right? Definitely a pretty cool spot to go hang out!Delete
Beautiful pictures :-) (I only found your blog recently I've been binge-reading all your posts!) It's great that people sneak in to play on the pitch - it'd almost be a shame to get it back up and running and deprive them of having their own secret stadium!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks so much! Glad you're enjoying! :DDelete
This is rad! I absolutely love your posts on abandoned spaces, and this is no exception :-) It's really interesting to see something so empty, when once upon a time it must have frequently been absolutely rammed, because of all of the events there... I wonder how it would compare if it was revamped?ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks so much, Sian!Delete
I have no idea! I read they were thinking of covering it and making it an indoor venue. I wonder if they'll ever do anything with it...
Oh how fun!! The stadium looks pretty good considering and yes, that fields looks really great! And that's such a cool a story about your Mother seeing the Rolling Stones there.ReplyDelete
WOW! These photos are amazing. That looks like a fun place to visit.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks, Tara! :)Delete
The fields look like they have been treated by a secret gardener :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Haha, well it's fake so it'll probably last a long long looooong time.Delete
That is so cool!! I'm a huuuuge football fan so it would have been really cool to find something like this near me. If you're ever in CO again, swing by our town, we have a ton of abandoned places!ReplyDeleteReplies
I'd LOVE to visit CO again! We loved it there, well, specifically we love Durango. I'd move there in a heartbeat! You anywhere near there?Delete
We're about 5 hours from there, ee were there last weekend to see cousins but I'm not sure we could live there. It's cute but we lived in an artsy college town before and it was no bueno hahah!Delete
so cool!!! wow!!! love the 50 yard line shot!!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks! That was one of my favorites as well. :)Delete
Such cool photos! I love that your Mum saw the Rolling Stones there, my Mum saw them in 1965 in Brisbane (Australia).ReplyDelete
Kate | themintedblog.comReplies
That's awesome! So crazy to think about our parents seeing REALLY REALLY huge bands.Delete
Beautiful pictures with rest of snow, magnificent faded blue color and super original abandonned place!ReplyDelete
That's really cool that your mom had been there! My dad loves talking about the past, so if I had done something similar he would have been stoked and then went on and on about the concert or whatever he saw there.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hehe, that's cute! :)Delete
These are so fun!ReplyDelete
you probably get asked this a lot, but with all the abandoned places you photograph, do you ever get worried about trespassing and whatnot? There's an abandoned school for the deaf and blind down the street from me that I am aching to explore but I'm a worrywart over getting caught by some sort of security guard or something.Replies
Also, off topic, I saw this and thought of you.ReplyDelete
HOLY COW, that's awesome!!!Delete
What an interesting place! A football stadium wouldn't have been one of my first choices to go visit either, but it seems like it would be really neat to stand in the field, where huge events once took place. That's really cool about your mom being there years before!ReplyDeleteReplies
Yeah, so crazy to think of this place at one time being completely packed with people!Delete
This is so neat. I have so many memories of the Rubber Bowl from my years at the University of Akron. I graduated in 2010...it's hard to believe how quickly nature has taken over!ReplyDeleteReplies
Hey, small world! It really is amazing how quickly nature takes back over.Delete
I went to school there 20+ years ago so that place brings back great memories! Great pictures!ReplyDelete

Frapp Innovative app discovery tool
Hi guys, I've been working with an amazing team in the research department of a leading tech company and we have developed a innovative way to discover apps in your device.
Basically what it does is gather some sensor information of your device ( all of them anonymous ) and a clever algorithm contantly learns in which situations people most use their apps.
With that information the app itself will recommend you apps in a dynamic and intuitive way based on your current context/situation, so the recommendations are liked to change as much as your different activities through the way.
I will not extent myself too long, so if you are willing to try, the app is available for free in Google Play.
We would love to hear some feedback so if you have any comment, let us know.
Thank you very much !

Shark Rotator Lift-Away
The brilliant Shark Rotator Lift Away vacuum will clean your carpets faster, and keep them cleaner longer! It does so because it is really like three vacuums in one compact machine: an upright for daily carpet cleaning, a lift away for portable cleaning, and as a caddy so you have more convenience. Now, you can deep clean your carpets regularly without losing any suction. You can even clean your bare floors and hard to reach areas without lugging around a heavy vacuum or carrying multiple tools. The lightweight Shark Rotator vacuum does it all! While being super quiet, the vacuum's swivel steering allows you to move around objects, corners, and under all types of furniture. For those who have allergies, Shark's Complete Seal Technology™ traps dust and allergens, keeping them out of the air you breathe freely and enjoy your daily life more. The Shark patented powerful motorized brush roll can be turned on or off, providing greater performance on both carpets and bare floors without changing accessories.
It can sometimes be difficult to clean some areas of your house with bulky machines. It can be almost impossible to clean the steps with a standard model. Cleaning your car can be a huge pain with bulkier machines, and often enough, they don't work well enough to be effective. The Shark Lift Away vacuum is the perfect choice for someone who wants a luxury vacuum without paying the luxury price.
For only four payments of $49.95, the Shark Rotator will prove to be better than the pricier models, which is one of the reasons Shark is such a trusted name in vacuum technology! The extra-large capacity dust cup and Anti-Allergen Complete Seal Technology traps over 99.9% of dust and allergens inside the vacuum!
This powerful Never Loses Suction upright vacuum features a unique detachable and portable canister that lifts away for effortless cleaning in and around the home. That means it works well for all of your rooms, especially those with furniture! The Shark Rotator Lift Away is great for cleaning out under sofa cushions, in your dryer's lint trap, and under desks, toy boxes, and tables.
When you receive your Shark Rotator Lift Away vacuum, you will receive Includes a premium pet power brush for picking up that hard to get pet hair, a crevice tool for cleaning hard to clean areas like a keyboard, a dusting brush, an easy to clean canister caddy, an extra straight suction floor nozzle, and a home and car detail kit for cleaning the tiniest of spaces. You vacuum will even come with an extra-long 30 foot power cord provides maximum range for cleaning large spaces quickly and easily.
Better yet, if you order now, you will receive a free 11 inch crevice tool, a dusting brush, a premium turbo brush, and a free steam mop. The steam mop is a $99 dollar value, which will help ensure your house stays cleaner longer. You can also purchase a caddy that will put your Life-Away vacuum on wheels, to make your job even easier!
What You'll Get:
- 11 inch Crevice Tool
- Dusting Brush

HEPA Filters alone are not enough!
For years the vacuum industry has claimed that having a HEPA filter was the best way to trap dust and allergens, but they haven't told you the whole story.
It's time to clear the air about this dirty little secret. The truth is, if your vacuum does not have a system that is completely sealed, then the dust and allergens you vacuum up escape back into the air before they even reach the HEPA filter.
Anti-Allergen Complete Seal Technology
captures and holds over 99.9% of dust and allergens inside the vacuum, not back into the air you breathe — great news for pet owners & allergy sufferers!

Crowd Sourcing used to Repay the Kindness of Strangers.
Nelson film producer, Keith Hawke, has mounted a campaign to raise funds to develop a free phone app that will allow people to get the correct pronunciation of English words anywhere, anytime. It will be simple and quick to use and practical.
Nelson film producer, Keith Hawke, has mounted a campaign to raise funds to develop a free phone app that will allow people to get the correct pronunciation of English words anywhere, anytime. It will be simple and quick to use and practical.
The user will key in the word, listen to the international broadcast voice pronounce the word correctly, record their own attempt, compare the two and then try again.
"Over the years there have been many many people who have patiently corrected my pronunciation of their language when I have clumsily tried to communicate. I have little proficiency in learning other languages so their patience and kindness has been invaluable.
I am working to give something back, for free, to those who are trying to correct their pronunciation of my native language. English."
"I have heard these lines so often from friends and business associates:
"I speak English but people don't understand me."
"I have taken English classes but I am unsure of my pronunciation."
"I am often misunderstood and I am embarrassed about my accent."
"I am not sure that my English client understands what I am saying."
Hawke has enlisted the Crowd Sourcing site Indiegogo in his bid to raise the necessary funds.
His site is at:
He has highlighted a range of attractive rewards to those who fund the project.
These include copies of his book 'Plough Chains and Bees Arses' and the opportunity to become a Beta tester of the software.
The funds raised will be spent on contracting a developer to design the software for this phone application, a graphic artist to design the logo and artwork for the website and the app. A server, which will be a significant cost, so that the users can quickly access the thousands of sound files of the words in the archive.
The International voice will be paid an agreed fee for his recording time and for the continued use of his voice. It will take at least a week or more to record the correct pronunciation of all the words. These individual recordings will then have to be named and catalogued.
Hawke will put also put up a website that explains how the English pronunciation application works.
"I will obviously continue to put in a large amount of unpaid effort and time to make all this happen."
The budget is for cash outlays only. There is no provision for time spent.
"As an independent film producer I am very accustomed to working with limited budgets and I am very confident that with this budget I will be able to develop and to offer for free a very practical and popular tool to help people to correct their English pronunciation."
Key people in this project are:
Keith Hawke is a New Zealander who has owned and managed Film and Video production companies in Asia and New Zealand for more than twenty years.
He has produced many TV series and Marketing Videos and he has an extensive knowledge of film and television production.
"I have employed and socialised with many many people who spoke English with an accent.
Very often their English is technically correct but their accent makes communication with native English speakers difficult.
It is primarily an accent and pronunciation problem.
English is spoken with many different accents but there is a 'Mid Atlantic' accent that is neutral and universally understood.
In setting up Say You Say I have offered to my friends a tool where they can hear English spoken correctly and where they can compare their own accents with that of a professional broadcaster."

Oracle Back in Court, This Time vs. HPE
The legal dispute dates back to Oracle's 2011 decision not to support Intel's Itanium platform, a move for which HPE officials are seeking $3 billion.Oracle's $7.4 billion acquisition of Sun Microsystems in 2010 opened a lot of doors for the enterprise applications vendor, giving it a data center hardware business and the popular Java programming language. In recent weeks, the deal has led Oracle into the courtroom. Soon after buying Sun in 2010, Oracle sued Google, claiming the search giant violated copyright laws when it used some 11,000 lines of Java code in its Android mobile operating system. After six years of litigation, in which Oracle officials said they planned to ask for $9.3 billion in damages, a federal district court jury in San Francisco on May 26 ruled in favor of Google, handing Oracle a stunning defeat. Oracle lawyers indicated they intended to file an appeal of the case, which some industry observers said could end up with the Supreme Court. Just days after that ruling, Oracle found itself back in court last week as the defendant in a lawsuit that has roots in the Sun acquisition. In this case—which comes out of a legal dispute that also began in 2010—Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) officials are seeking $3 billion in damages resulting from Oracle's threat in 2011 to discontinue supporting Intel's Itanium chip platform with its database technologies. When Oracle inherited Sun's data center hardware business through the acquisition, it immediately became a competitor to longtime partner Hewlett-Packard. (HP in November 2015 split in two, creating two new companies, including HPE, which sells enterprise IT solutions and services.) Later in the year, Oracle hired Mark Hurd as president after he was forced to resign as HP's CEO. The move angered HP executives, and eventually, the two companies reached an agreement over the hiring in which Oracle, among other things, agreed to continue to support HP products as it had before the legal dispute over Hurd.
That part of the agreement became the focus of HP's legal action against Oracle when the software giant in 2011 announced it was no longer going to support Itanium with its enterprise applications, including its database solutions. Intel's controversial chip architecture powered most of HP's high-end servers, and HP officials said that about 140,000 customers ran Oracle's database applications on those Itanium-based systems.

Flipping out: York County No. 2 nationally for home flips; midstate has value
Erie, Berks and Allegheny counties are seeing the most home flips in the commonwealth, but the best value for investors might be in the midstate.
York County came in at No. 2 nationally for best counties to flip, according to California-based RealtyTrac Inc.
To get on the list, counties needed at least 100 flips, an increase in foreclosure activity from a year ago, an unemployment rate below the national average and a gross return on investment of at least 30 percent. York County was fourth in Pennsylvania with 179 flips between April 2013 and March 2014.
The average purchase price of a flip in York County was $88,063 and the sale price was $151,871 — a 72.5 percent ROI, according to RealtyTrac.
Prince George's County, Md., topped the national list with an ROI of 83.4 percent.
But don't discount the rest of Central Pennsylvania.
Lancaster County posted 141 flips and an ROI of 55.6 percent. But foreclosure activity was down slightly, which kept it off the best counties list, according to RealtyTrac.
In Dauphin County, there were 69 flips and an ROI of 56 percent. Lebanon County had just 27 flips and an ROI of 38.2 percent, while Cumberland County logged just 17 flips. The latter's ROI was 74.7 percent.
The best ROI in Pennsylvania belongs to Wayne County at 290.7 percent, according to RealtyTrac. There were 17 flips. The average purchase price was $26,543 and the average flip was $103,714.

How Homo Became Sapiens by Peter Gardenfors
Book DescriptionOur ability to think is one of our most puzzling characteristics. What it would be like to be unable to think? What would it be like to lack self-awareness? The complexity of this activity is striking. Thinking involves the interaction of a range of mental processes - attention, emotion, memory, planning, self-consciousness, free will, and language. So where did these processes arise? What evolutionary advantages were bestowed upon those with an ability to deceive, to plan, to empathize, or to understand the intentions of others? In this compelling work, Peter Gardenfors embarks on an evolutionary detective story to try and solve one of the big mysteries surrounding human existence - how has the modern human being's way of thinking come into existence. He starts by taking in turn the more basic cognitive processes, such as attention and memory, then builds upon these to explore more complex behaviours, such as self-consciousness, mindreading, and imitation. Having done this, he examines the consequences of "putting thought into the world", using external media like cave paintings, drawings and writing. Immensely readable and humorous, the book will be valuable for students in psychology and biology, whilst remaining accessible to readers of popular science.

Remuneration to senior management
The 2014 AGM established guidelines for remuneration to senior executives, primarily entailing the following: Remuneration and other employment terms and conditions for senior executives is to be market-based and competitive in every market where Getinge is active so as to attract, motivate and retain
skilled and competent employees. The total remuneration package to senior executives is to comprise basic pay, variable remuneration, pension and other benefits. The allocation between basic pay and variable remuneration
should be proportionate to the executive's responsibility and authority. Variable remuneration is limited to a maximum amount and linked to predetermined and measurable criteria, designed with the aim of promoting
