Film advertisment created by Euro RSCG, France for Canal+, within the category: Media.
Creatives: Charles Lefort, Viken Guzel
Agency Producer: David Green
Production: Wanda, Paris
Director: Wilfrid Brimo
Music Production: Kouz Production, Paris
I don't really like it going backwards as it's barely creative, but really really (should I add a third 'really'?) nice.
How come? In this case, going backwards makes it properly creative (creating the stuff, not destroying it). Joke's aside, I like the directing and camera angles, and keen on the flashback-style, noticing the forward motion at the end.
Reminds me of the Fightclub airplane scene. What is amazing is that Flightclub was done in 1999 and it was as good or better. Wish I had canal + to see the show now.
Great production but i hate terrorists so i "fight" against all kind of violence on TV, etc.
Well directed

Putting his expertise in renewable energy to work, Congressman Jerry McNerney (CA-11) has introduced a major renewable energy initiative in the form of three bills. The bills are H.R. 1774, the Smart Grid Advancement Act, H.R. 1730, the Vehicles for the Future Act, and H.R. 1775, the Grants for Renewable Energy Education for the Nation Act, or the GREEN Act.
"These three bills are an important step towards creating a sustainable energy plan for our nation," said Rep. McNerney. "They also lay the groundwork for development of an economy fueled by clean energy and the next generation of green collar jobs."
"During these tough economic times, it's more important than ever to jumpstart the creation of a green economy," continued Rep. McNerney. "California families need the jobs that initiatives like this will help create."
H.R. 1774, the Smart Grid Advancement Act, would initiate development of a more efficient electrical grid. The bill would task states and utilities with establishing goals for reducing electrical use during peak times through the use of smart grid technologies. Smart grid refers to systems or technologies that help reduce use during times of peak consumption such as in the afternoon versus late at night.
"This bill is part of the foundation of a more sustainable energy plan for our nation," said Rep. McNerney. "Smart grid technologies will both save consumers money and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions."
This bill would also improve the Energy Star Program - an initiative that gives consumers the tools to purchase energy efficient and cost-saving appliances. Currently, the program labels commonly used appliances such as washing machines and refrigerators with information about their efficiency. The Smart Grid Advancement Act would better integrate smart grid features into the Energy Star Program.
The second bill, H.R. 1730, the Vehicles for the Future Act, lays the groundwork for the more widespread use of plug-in hybrid electric and electric vehicles by creating the electrical infrastructure needed for these cars.
"We need to make the use of energy efficient vehicles more convenient," said Rep. McNerney. "This bill plans for the electrical infrastructure needed to run these cars, the development of which will also spur job creation."
Currently, one significant barrier to the widespread use of plug-in hybrid electric and electric vehicles is that charging stations are not readily available. This bill would task public utility commissions with developing plans to improve the infrastructure needed for these cars by installing charging stations in commonly used locations such as gas stations and parking garages.
The third bill, H.R. 1775, the GREEN Act, would help create a workforce ready for a green economy. The bill would provide $100 million in competitive grants for the development of career and technical training in the field of renewable energy. Post-secondary institutions and career and technical schools could use these grants to enter into public-private partnerships to develop these training programs.
"These grants will ready the next generation of workers for good-paying, green collar jobs," said Rep. McNerney. "This bill goes hand in hand with the others because it will help create the workforce needed to build our nation's green energy infrastructure."
H.R. 1774 and H.R. 1775 were introduced on March 30, 2009. H.R. 1730 was introduced on March 26, 2009.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Friendliness of staff, cleanliness of whole hotel
The view
The view and the balcony and friendly staff Noise from outside late at night
lovely town on the port is being redone great spot
I liked the location, close to city centre, walking distance. Too small room, no fridge in the room, not nice look out of the window.
the price and the location in front the sea old outside but clean inside
The breakfast was excellent on the terass with view of the port.
Great location, friendly and helpfull staff. Room was cleaned and the towels were changed daily.
quite well located too much noise from outside
Location fine but need a car. Breakfast and dinner we had were excellent, very pleasant staff at reception and in dining room Lack of insulation between rooms means noisy people next to you or above can be a nuisance - we were woken late one night and kept awake an hour! Could not watch Champions League football final in romm despite skye tv - did watch at bar downstairs
Good-sized room; hotel is very central yet quiet if you have a room at the back. Friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast, including fresh fruit. The furnishings and rather dark interior of the hotel make it look somewhat dull.
It was relaxed and close to everything - very 'Italian'and friendly The shower was small
being in the center of the city,close to good restaurants and cafes. and free wifi
location/shops no internet even when requested at reception
Whilst not quite reaching the standards expected by the international traveller, it is precisely what can be expected in a small town in the Sardinia countryside. What small deficiencies there may have been were more than compensated by the warmth and helpfulness of the staff.
Nice view to the marina. It is on the busy streat and it was very noisy during the night. The air condition was not working and it was a choice either close the windows and sleep in a very hot room or bare the noise from the street. Breakfast was very poor too.
(1) Nice friendly staff (2) Hotel is right in the middle of small village with cheap eating options and great views (3) Good parking (1) For the services provided Hotel is extremely overpriced (2) The beds are really short in lenght not fit for someone who is 170 cms in height (3) Breakfast is very basic
Location, service, helpfulness, friendliness - restaurant serving more locals than tourists (price/quality ratio excellent) local food, well cooked served with love. Not really bad, but round the corner from portoscuso is portovesme, a huge crumbling industrial complex. not pretty, but not visible from the centre of portoscuso and only really disturbing the first time you approach the village - it's a one off 'oh my god' experience which quickly evaporates once you are in the village itself.
Whery good and frendly staf. Clean and big swiming pool. Good place for good price!
Very hospitable owners, extremely eager to help. A friendly atmosphere and a high level of cleanliness. No restaurant in the building. The staff did not speak English, but were very accommodating - you get a long way with manual sign language and some goodwill. The air conditioning system did not work, but one can hardly complain about that, as the room rates are quite low. The owners' dog barked long into the night.

Achayan (അച്ചായന്) is a term used to address elder males belonging to the Saint Thomas Christians or Syrian Malabar Nasranis, irrespective of denomination, hailing from central and southern parts of Kerala corresponding to the former Travancore kingdom. In Travancore, Achayans are mainly present in Kottayam, Pathanamthitta, Idukki and certain parts of Ernakulam like Muvattupuzha which were under the Travancore Kingdom.
Thrissur Syrian Christians and other denominations including the Latin Christians, Pentecostal et al. are not considered as Achayans.
The term Achayan comes from the way elder males are addressed in the Syrian Christian community [1][2]. This term corresponds to "elder brother" in malayalam [3]. Achayans are usually members of the St.Thomas Christians who are now split into Syro-Malabar Catholic Church, Syro-Malankara Catholic Church, The Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church, The Jacobite Syrian Church and Marthoma Syrian Church.
Achayans are traditionally employed the agriculture sector (especially rubber) and trade. From the time of their settlement in the region, Achayans used to be painstaking and family oriented[2]. They are pretty much far-sighted and modern. The enthusiasm they possess in acquiring knowledge and education paved way for numerous institutions for elementary as well as higher education in the region.
Educational institutions
Many prominent educational institutions in the region are run by Syrian Christians. Some of them are listed below:
- St. Antony's Public School and Junior College, Anakkal, Kanjirapally
- Nirmala Higher Secondary School and Public School, Muvattupuzha
- Nirmala College, Muvattupuzha
- St. Berchmans College, Changanassery
- Assumption College, Changanasserry
- Alphonsa College, Pala
- St. Thomas College Pala
- St. Dominics College, Kanjirappally
- Marthoma College, Thiruvalla
- BCM College Kottayam
- Baselius College, Kottayam
- St. Thomas College, Kozhencherry
- Amal Jyoti College of Engineering, Kanjirappally
- Vishwajyothi College of Engineering, Muvattupuzha
- Pushpagiri College of Medical Sciences,Thiruvalla
Current status
A new generation of professionals and NRI's are now the new dominant group among Travancore Christians now. They are one of the most educated and prosperous Christian communities in India. A large number of expatriate communities are found in the Middle East, Europe and the USA.

Mark Gauthreau, 44, of 42298 N. Wood St., Gonzales, was arrested and charged with two counts of first degree attempted murder and hate crimes on Aug. 21 after he allegedly shot and wounded two Hispanic men from Texas.
The incident occurred in the spillway while the two men were fishing. The two Hispanic men did not know each other but had gotten acquainted while fishing.
The gun toting subject apparently locked his keys in his truck. Two other individuals (not the Hispanic men) approached the gunman and offered their assistance in retrieving the subjects keys from his vehicle. The subject declined their offer to assist but stated I am about to kill me some mexicans. The subject then broke his vehicle window and retrieved his keys.
The gunman allegedly pulled up in a pick-up truck and opened fire on the two men. Both men sustained gun shot wounds to their legs. Gauthreau fled the scene. Several hours later the subject was apprehended and arrested.
The victims in this case were minding their own business. The gunman has a long history of DUI arrests and possession of an illegal weapon. This was an unprovoked attack. It was witnessed by at least two other individuals, said Sheriff Greg Champagne of the St. Charles Parish Sheriffs Office.
Both victims were transported to St. Charles Parish Hospital for their injuries. First degree attempted murder carries up to 50 years in prison.
Gauthreaus bond was set at $20,000 by Judge Kirk Granier.

Watching all the developments in the innovation space you'd be forgiven for thinking that you can become an innovative company by simply having an innovation process and throwing in a few innovation tools and hey presto, Apple here we come! Wrong… sorry if it were that easy everyone would be doing it and we'd be overwhelmed with innovation. The reality is that innovating consistently and constantly is achieved by very few companies. What we hear less about is the companies who've tried some form of innovation activity and failed. I don't mean a 70% or 80% failure rate but a 100% failure rate. Now failure is not a bad thing and is actually an essential part of the innovation process, but out of the failure you hope some gems will come forth offsetting all the failures.
There is a huge industry building around the whole innovation space and there are more public speakers on the subject than I can count. A lot of what I hear is quite simply common sense that doesn't take a genius to figure out and lot of it is just high level stuff that gives no clues in how to execute innovation. We can all talk about common sense things and strategy at a high level but very few can talk about what it takes to execute an innovation strategy successfully. I do wonder if the industry is just perpetuating the innovation hype to continue the dollars rolling in for whatever innovation thing they happen to be touting around. This is bad news for people who are committed to innovation and want to see some real innovation happen because where the hype goes so does expectation. When innovation successes fail to materialise the hype is followed by disillusionment and this can result in a real disappointment and cynicism for innovation. The damage from this could really harm innovation to the point that companies just decide its not worth investing in again, or at least don't try innovation again for many years.
So what does it really take to be an innovative company? Yes a process is important and yes tools are important but they're actually some of the lesser important things. Many successfully innovative companies have these tools and processes, but these are a peripheral to what's really enabling innovation in the company. The real enablers for innovation are hidden beneath the surface and are often not even apparent to those working in an innovative company. What's important for innovation is:
- The right culture and behaviours
- Senior level management commitment
- Having people who understand innovation
- Having the right creative types in an integrated organisation
- A route to market for testing concepts
The right culture and behaviours – this is probably one of the biggest barriers and enablers for innovation. The culture of the company is what will ultimately make innovation fail or succeed. Innovation requires a culture that is open to new ideas regardless of where they come from. Companies that have strong functions, particularly Marketing, that think it's their job in the company to come up with new ideas or that their ideas should get higher priority than anyone else are simply wasting all that latent knowledge, talent and capability in the organisation. There are lots of studies about culture and a strong view that you can't change your companies culture, at least not easily, so its therefore important to focus on the behaviours. Reinforce positive behaviours for innovation and eventually the culture will follow. As a company you need to identify the key behaviours that are important for innovation and then put in a plan for making those behaviours happen. Start small, start on a key group of influencers and let their influence permeate throughout the company. It's like nurturing a small plant; keep watering it and watch it grow. Another important factor in the culture of an innovative company is freeing up people to work on innovation. So often the innovators in a company are people who have an important day job that their line managers will be reluctant to let them leave even temporarily. How are you going to free these people up without having a battle with line managers every time you need to do this?
Senior level management commitment is more than just unleashing a few junior managers to go innovate or that. Putting a CxO's name on an initiative doesn't means their sponsorship guarantees success. That's not going to work in a lot of companies unless its a truly flat hierarchy with a really democratic culture. Board level members make key strategic decisions about the companies future and are often involved in the execution of projects that are deemed critical for the company. Innovation too should be firmly in that critical category with direct board level involvement. Senior people need to be running the innovation effort or at least be heavily involved in it. It's their day to day involvement in innovation projects that's showing the company they are leading by example. Marshalling important but finite resources will also often require senior management involvement to secure those resources whether it be money or people. If innovation is really the route to success then the most senior people in the company should be involved in it and not leaving it to someone else.
Having people who understand innovation. People who understand some of the deep cultural and organisational changes that are necessary to become an innovative company are a must. These aren't people who just understand what an innovation process or funnel is, but can understand the often hidden or subtle signs that point to innovation blockers. These people are politically savy enough to know who needs influencing and who's support they need to get the innovation effort to succeed. These people probably aren't the innovators (but they can be) but rather focus on removing the roadblocks to a more innovative environment.
Having the right creative types in an integrated organisation. Innovation requires creative people because make no mistake innovation is born out of a creative process not a logical one. These are the people who think differently, people who constantly seeking new meanings in things, people who test new ideas on themselves as well as customers. These are people who are so passionate about what they do that they immerse themselves in it. These are the innovators and can they can be anywhere inside the company, the key is unleashing them and their talent. However having such people inside the organisation may not always be possible so in that case the organisation has to seek out partnerships with such people to collaborate on new ideas and concepts. Too many companies create bland offerings because the corporate environment is about safety and not creativity. Innovation is an art and has to be treated as such. But creative people won't succeed on their own and this is where an integrated organisation is important. It doesn't matter that you have the best innovators in the world in your company because if you can't pull the various strands across the company to implement the ideas then you'll hit a brick wall. When working on innovation there are many people involved in the chain from idea to conception. An integrated organisation brings together the people who are responsible for each component of the chain. In these companies people work in less formal hierarchical structures (at least some of the time) but more in a project based environment where people from across the company come together to achieve a common set of objectives. Question companies need to ask themselves is how do you create an integrated organisation to deliver? The one other thing that I'll add is you need passionate people. People who care and love what they do. These are people who ooze enthusiasm about what they're doing. Do you have such people in the company?
A route to market for testing concepts. Everyone knows that innovation can be a hit an miss affair. Various research studies for example conclude over 67% of new product launches fail within the first twelve months. Therefore anyone bringing new innovations to market needs to be able to test ideas and concepts directly with customers. It's important that there is that direct relationship with customers so you can observe first hand what they think of your innovations.
In summary I hope this gives people some food for thought. Innovation isn't just something companies can wake up and say "we're going to be innovative now" and learn from a text book. Innovation is a capability that takes serious time and effort to nurture and there will be many failures along the way. Innovation is about getting underneath the surface and looking at the process start to finish and asking yourself what works and what doesn't work and then having the power to change what doesn't work and strengthen what does work. Innovation will be contending for finite resources with the BAU stuff which is never an easy debate to win. What works will be different for every company because every company has a unique character. The trick is working out what works for your company.

Marko helped us deal with a sticky timeshare situation. He was very approachable, understanding, and considerate of our needs. He explained the cancellation process very well and successfully resolved our issue to the end. I highly recommend Marko to everyone who needs a lawyer to defend their right.

Mr. Cerenko helped me very much to mediate an unfair legal situation wrought by disinformation and unethical law enforcement practices.
He was very prompt in returning my emails or calls and helped me to understand my options.
I would most definitely recommend him to anyone in need of criminal defense, he is very knowledgeable and will research case law to explore all available options for his clients. He is very professional and puts in a lot of effort to give his clients the best legal services he has to offer.


text: I won't be surprised if Tanner gets cut before Randle because of Tanner's limited upside and Randle's perceived higher ceiling. Moreover Randle is a rookie so you would expect him to get better over time. I was pretty high on the Randle pick coming out of the draft. However, objectively speaking, Randle hasn't shown very much in the preseason. Granted that doesn't mean much, but realistically, he has been the 4th best back on the roster so far. I'm ok if he is kept over Tanner, but late round picks like him often get cut and often make it to the practice squad. I'm not saying he would, or that I would risk doing it, but it is not outside the realm of possibility.

Since 2003, Hot Toys has acquired the official merchandising rights in producing collectibles series from worldwide movies, including The Avengers, Batman, Superman, Terminator, Pirates of the Caribbean, Alien, and Predator. They also have rights to manga/anime like, Appleseed and Space Pirate Captain Harlock, video games such as Assassin's Creed and Resident Evil, as well as famous world-class celebrities such as martial artist Bruce Lee and King of Pop Michael Jackson. All of which are well-received by movie, figure and pop culture fans.
Hot Toys takes the lead in the 1/6th collectible industry and has led the quality of collectible figures development to a climax in recent years. Moreover, Hot Toys has obtained the patent for its innovation of Parallel Eyeball Rolling System (PERS) and Interchangeable Faces Technique (IFT) for its DX series, which have further increased the likeness and interesting elements of the collectible figures.
Hot Toys stresses product diversification. Emerging from highly detailed and articulated 1/6th scale collectible figures, Hot Toys also engages in 1/4th scale collectible figures, 1/6th scale collectible vehicles, 1/4th scale collectible busts, as well as 3" and 6" Cosbaby series, etc.
Headquartered in Hong Kong, the Hot Toys brand is well-received in different parts of the world with products sold by our strategic worldwide distributors to over 30 countries including the United States, Europe, and most of the Asian countries. Hot Toys' subsidiary, known as Hot Toys Japan, is located in Tokyo, Japan.
Collaboration with the Metal Gear franchise
Hot Toys' involved with the Metal Gear series started in 2012 with the announcement of 2 new figures introduced into their Video Game Masterpiece category of figures, revealing to be 1/6 scale figures of Naked Snake and The Boss from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. Appearing in their Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D concept designs rather than their original, each figure is sculpted by Jung Ju Won and have over 80 points of articulation. Both were released in late 2012 with various accessories and in packages designed by Yoji Shinkawa.
In 2014, a announcement by Hoy Toys has announced a 1/6 scale figure of Raiden from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is on it's way. The figure is sculpted by JC. Hong and is planned for a late 2014 release. Raiden will come with accessories he uses in Metal Gear Rising and Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. A limited edition offer has been put up, with the offer of having Samuel Rodriguez's signature weapon, the HF Masamura and it's sheath added to the figure.
A leaked image of the same Raiden figure, this time, sporting the Inferno Armor attire as been announced. Whether this is a new figure or the previously menstioned limited edition with the HF Masamura blade is yet to be announced.

About abdulla
abdulla posted a topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingHi guys Is there a way of getting the mipmap level of a texture2D lookup? So far the best advice I can find is to encode the data in the texture itself. I thought there might be a better way that someone is aware of.
abdulla replied to McZ's topic in For BeginnersYou need to explicitly say that "List::iterator" is a typename by saying "typedef typename List::iterator iterator".
abdulla replied to Trapper Zoid's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingSince you're in Melbourne, I'd recommend ClickNGo.com.au. If you have any issues, just pick up the phone and they'll have it fixed in an instant.
abdulla replied to Kylotan's topic in Engines and MiddlewareEigen - a "C++ template library for linear algebra: vectors, matrices, and related algorithms".
abdulla replied to AcidZombie24's topic in Engines and MiddlewareHaskell actually fairs pretty well in the shootout. I also recommend Haskell, it's a joy to code in once you wrap your head around it.
abdulla replied to FreJa's topic in Math and PhysicsAn aside: After having a quick look at Premake, it looks like it does something _very_ similar to CMake. I'd probably suggest moving to CMake, as it's also supported under Fink. Personally I'm a fan of SCons, I just wish it had a coloured output like CMake, or a minimal output like the Linux kernel build system.
abdulla replied to -Datriot-'s topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingEigen 2 seems to be a very promising upcoming library. It uses expression templates and is explicitly vectorised (SSE and AltiVec). The geometry module isn't complete though, but they are looking for contributors.
abdulla replied to DEVLiN's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingQuote:Original post by swiftcoder I didn't really state my point very well there, so here goes: a) syscall count is not a good metric of performance. b) context switches are expensive when working with processes - when you start blocking you are going to lose. c) you are most likely going to need to do those extra copies to make your shared-memory solution non-bocking. a) No it's not, but it has a big effect on performance. Reducing syscalls really does help, but this is at the nanosecond level (at least on my test systems). b+c) I guess it really comes down to whether you want to block or not, so it depends on the structure of the system.
abdulla replied to Zouflain's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingQuote:Original post by Antheus In the same way that the articles mentions generalizations, generalizing over a single blog that applies to Java only is somewhat bold. Sure, it was the first link that turned up in my history. I've been reading a lot of papers lately so forgive me for generalising, but you can dig deeper and find more articles on the subject. I do admit my background is Linux/Mac OS X, so I can't comment on the behaviour of Windows. Quote: Quote:I use a thread per connection in my RPC servers and it scales amazingly well. Are the RPC calls blocking, or use asynchronous method invocation? If former, then you're limited by network latency either way, and the application is under-utilized, which is why many workload sensitive applications prefer message passing vs. pure RPC. Actually I wrote 2 different RPC libraries, one that does block but uses tricks to reduce latency, the other that attempts to be completely asynchronous. Message passing is great, but it doesn't give the type-safety or convenience of RPC.
abdulla replied to DEVLiN's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingQuote:Original post by swiftcoder Quote:Original post by abdulla And you're correct, shared memory is faster than sockets due in part to reduction in the amount of syscalls needed.Only if you are able to avoid locking - as soon as you have to lock your shared memory, the sockets do about as well, since a local socket (at least in the unix world) tends to be implemented as chunk of shared memory and some locking primitive, which evens out your syscalls again. Actually, I've got some benchmarks for a paper I'm working on that show that that's a false assumption. You end up copying around data a lot more, even if you use tricks like vmsplice (which require you to allocate pages of memory). The overhead for semaphores, especially under Linux, is quite low, and you can use spin locks to reduce the latency further.
abdulla replied to Zouflain's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingQuote:Original post by Antheus Which is somewhat interesting, given that JVM doesn't have network layer, and all calls are passed down to OS. How well does it work with 5000 concurrent connections? Any chance of a link to the articles? http://paultyma.blogspot.com/2008/03/writing-java-multithreaded-servers.html http://www.classhat.com/tymaPaulMultithread.pdf I use a thread per connection in my RPC servers and it scales amazingly well.
abdulla replied to DEVLiN's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingThe biggest overhead you'll have by going multi-process is context switching. It's a lot faster to switch between threads in the same address space. And you're correct, shared memory is faster than sockets due in part to reduction in the amount of syscalls needed. I'd also advise against file-backed shared memory, I'm not sure how it's done under Windows, but there's shm_open and related functions in POSIX that allow you to create and manage shared memory without a file backing. All in all, unless you need the added protection of address space separation, you're better off sticking with a multi-threaded design.
abdulla replied to Zouflain's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingQuote:Original post by Kylotan Quote:Original post by Zouflain and finally a thread for each active connection Never do that. "The "one thread per client" model is well-known not to scale beyond a dozen clients or so." Actually, that's a bit of an exaggeration, as I've had hundreds of simultaneous connections with 2 threads per connection, but it does indeed thrash your server. Actually, I've been reading a lot of papers on RPC, with quite a few talking about server scalability. It turns out on modern operating systems (like Linux since NPTL was introduced), one thread per connection turns out to perform a lot better than using any form of poll/select. Which is actually reflected in my own performance tests. There are papers that talk about how Java's original IO is better than NIO for that very reason.
abdulla replied to Basiror's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingI don't believe so, I think it just looks at .svn/entries file in the current path and finds the repository URL. But as usual, look at the SVN book to find out more.
abdulla replied to Kaycon11's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingAfter reading all the books acadestuff mentioned, I'd recommend reading: C++ Template Metaprogramming: Concepts, Tools, and Techniques from Boost and Beyond - David Abrahams, Aleksey Gurtovoy It's a really great read.
