BALTIMORE — On a sunny Monday afternoon in early April 2015, 18 teenagers – all veterans of the juvenile justice system – sat in a circle with seven Baltimore City police officers inside a dance studio at a strip mall on the city's west side.
A "Peace Circle" – in which the officers and youth sought common ground, trust and understanding – began each of the five days that the group worked on an intricate, circular, 5-foot-diameter mosaic.
The youth-focused Choice Program at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), brought together the officers, young people, AmeriCorps student volunteers at UMBC and Carien Quiroga, a professional mosaic artist who works with Artivate, a nonprofit, and teaches art at juvenile facilities throughout the state and led the effort.
Together, they arranged thousands of mosaic tiles and shards of metal and glass into a montage that includes shapes of police badges, a peace sign, flags, a heart and two hands clasping each other. The fledgling artists named their mosaic "Uprising to Artrising."
The mosaic, demanding justice for African Americans killed by police in America – including the 2014 death of Michael Brown in Ferguson that elevated the Black Lives Matter movement – was to be installed within weeks of completion in the foyer of the Baltimore City Police Department Headquarters.
But the death of Freddie Gray in police custody in West Baltimore – and the searing aftermath that tore this city apart – delayed the plan by two years. Still, Choice leaders remained determined to have the mosaic displayed at police headquarters.
Now, two years after its completion, the mosaic will be hung during a June 20 ceremony. The Choice Program's director, LaMar Davis, credits first-term Mayor Catherine Pugh, a Democrat who took office in December, and Police Commissioner Kevin Davis with finally helping make it happen.
From Suspicion to Connection
Its name notwithstanding, the 2015 "Peace Circle" at first seemed more like a circle of suspicion and mistrust, with smirks and silent stares, participants recall now. Gradually, though, the daily exchanges and shared effort that took place during the "Spring Break Mosaic Project" helped police officers and young people find common ground.
Shanaya, an 11th grader at Frederick Douglass High School who entered the juvenile justice system for fighting at school, recalled looking at the officers that first day in the "Peace Circle." She thought of Black friends and relatives who had been harassed, stopped and frisked, ordered to lie on the ground, or detained by police.
"And then there are some bad cops who beat people on the street, or even kill people, without good cause," said Shanaya, 16, who has three dogs and plans to become a become a veterinarian.
But by the end of the week, she said: "This project changed me. It took a while, but we kind of saw how the officers were really cool once you got to know them. You know, what surprised me the most about the police? It was just how nice they were once you got to know them."
The mosaic itself is an attention-seizing explosion of shiny, metallic hues: oranges, deep blues and purples, reds and greens, interspersed with white mosaic tiles to form a dramatic contrast.
Its creators chose a "Peace Circle," representing unity and inclusion. An undulating line bisects the circle. On either side of the line are three dark pyramid shapes of equal size, mirroring each other, representing balance. The completed work brings together the shards of life each participant contributed into an interconnected mosaic, signifying unity.
More than a little proud of their handiwork, the officers and young people had every reason to believe the mosaic, spread over lightweight cement composite, would hang at city police headquarters downtown by the end of the 2014-15 school year.
Then, two days after the mosaic's completion, 25-year-old Freddie Gray suffered what would prove to be fatal spinal injuries while in police custody, wearing shackles (but not departmentally required seat belts), as he bounced around the metal cage in the back of a police transport van on a circuitous, 45-minute journey.
The day after Gray's April 27 funeral, people hurled rocks, bricks and bottles at police outside Mondawmin Mall, igniting rioting that quickly swept across the city. Protesters set fire to businesses, torched cars and looted stores.
Many residents refer to the unrest as an uprising, saying that youth felt cornered and trapped by police officers.
Republican Gov. Larry Hogan called in the National Guard and declared a state of emergency. The police commissioner resigned, and Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, once a rising-star Democrat harshly criticized for her response to the rioting, ultimately decided against seeking re-election over the fallout.
In the midst of all this, the initial enthusiasm for hanging the mosaic at police headquarters seemed to evaporate. Police brass and City Hall were consumed by ongoing protests; the trials of six officers; scathing state and federal investigations; and a multimillion dollar civil suit brought by Gray's family.
A Dream Attained
Quiroga, the mosaic art teacher, says the young people involved could hardly contain their enthusiasm over completing the mosaic.
Now, at last, their work will hang in the very nerve center of the Baltimore City Police Department.
"We had so much initial tension, and then the relationships between the kids and the police changing as the project changed, as sheets of glass were broken into smaller pieces and then put back together to create something beautiful," the White, South African-born artist said.
"What was broken has become pieced back together, made whole – in the art, in the relationships."
The process was not easy.
Early on in the week-long process of creating the mosaic, a Black teenage boy from a violence-plagued neighborhood piped up with a question for one of the officers:
"How come every time we see a police officer in our neighborhood, he's locking somebody up? That's the only time we ever see them."
Officer Lawrence LaPrade, who is Black, told the teen he knew something about living amid violence and poverty and drug dealing, in a place where you knew seeing cops could only mean trouble.
The officer had grown up in the notorious Lexington Terrace housing projects, a sprawling complex of high-rise towers demolished in 1996.
"Unfortunately, these youths in the 'Peace Circle' that day only saw the police when they were locking people up," LaPrade said recently. "There are trust barriers, and that's what we're working to change."
LaPrade told the youth, almost all of them Black boys, that while growing up in the Western District, he decided he would return to work as a police officer there.
He was eager to participate in the mosaic program, to do his small part to help reverse the cycle of violence, poverty and despair in a city that had more murders through May of this year – 146 – than during the first five months of any year in its history.
"I grew up here, and I came back here to give back, to help save it," he told the young people.
"These are still kids"
Through the mosaic project, participants said, officers and youth got to know about one another's lives, hopes, aspirations and hardships. Labels and stereotypes slipped away. The kids and the cops shared stories and laughter as they got to know one another as individuals, not merely seen as just another delinquent on the path to a life of crime, or another bad cop.
"It helped show me these are still kids," LaPrade said. "There are still kids inside them who need to see that we're there to help them….We opened up to them, and they opened up to us."
In some neighborhoods, LaPrade said, this kind of communication is rare, if not impossible: "The parents don't even want the kids to say hi to the police. They tell their kids, 'Don't speak to them. Don't go near them.'"
"It's good for them seeing us doing something other than arresting someone," LaPrade said. "That's when they see us most of the time."
Trying to Stop the Bloodletting
Baltimore's absolute murder numbers through May of this year trail only those of Chicago, which has five times as many people. Baltimore's per-capita murder rate far exceeds that of Chicago, New York and other big cities often associated with violent crime.
Now, amid one of the deadliest stretches in the city's history, from City Hall to Fells Point pubs to the Catholic Charities homeless shelter by the Jones Falls Expressway ramp, the talk of this old port city of 620,000 is centered on how to stem the bloodletting.
Mayor Pugh has asked the Trump administration to send in reinforcements from the FBI to patrol city streets. But even as politicos call for tougher enforcement, the crime wave has underscored the notoriously bad relationship between city police officers and residents of the poor, Black neighborhoods they patrol.
In this sense, the mosaic project, completed two years ago, appears prescient.
The year opened with Pugh, just weeks into her term as the new mayor, and Commissioner Davis announcing that 500 city police officers would undergo group and individual training sessions and meet one-on-one with middle school youth to try to break down barriers between police and teens.
"The most important thing we learned through the unrest is we need to repair the relationship between the police and young people," Baltimore City Councilman Brandon Scott, a Democrat, said when the initiative was announced at the nonprofit Community Mediation Center, which is overseeing the training sessions.
"There is nothing more important to repair in our city than that relationship."
Mayor Pugh sounded much the same theme during a June 10 "Call to Action" aimed at stopping the violence. The mayor stressed the need for police to strive to engage youth, even – perhaps, especially – those who distrust police.
City Police Lt. Col. Melvin Russell, commanding officer of the Police Department's Community Collaboration Division, says outreach efforts can make all the difference when a cop encounters a youth.
Russell, who led the department's effort to bring officers and youth together for the mosaic project, pointed to other department programs like camping trips during which police officers sleep under the stars with teens in parkland on the outskirts of the city; peer mentoring and peer conflict-resolution programs; and the "Explorer" program, which puts students on track to become police officers.
"It all about just engaging the kids," Russell said. "It is an art, listening to the community, connecting with the kids one on one. You build buy-in as a friend, someone they trust, when you do that. We have to talk to kids so they're not looking at the police as their enemy."
Russell said the mosaic project went a long way toward that end and that he's confident it will resume next spring.
Chantell English, another city police officer who worked with the youth on the mosaic, said she has no doubt the officers and teens built something even more than the mosaic: trust.
None of them, she said, would ever revert to seeing just another juvenile offender destined for a life of crime, or just another bad cop out to harass Black teens on the corner.
English knew the teens in that West Baltimore dance studio felt the transformation, too. She could tell by their easy laughter, the way they shared bits of their stories with officers or asked police for advice, their obvious pride in creating something that stood for peace, harmony and justice.
"They'll go back to their friends and say, 'You know what, these officers weren't that bad,'" she said. "'They were actually all right.' And in these neighborhoods we're working, that means everything."

Trauma or critical illness policies pay a lump sum in the event of an injury or sickness as defined in the policy.
Trauma policies are not intended to replace having private health insurance but rather are designed to ease any financial burden that will arise upon such an event occurring. There is a wide range of policies covering numerous events but the majority of claims are paid for cancer and heart attacks. The list of conditions covered is often optional and varies between companies as do the definitions of those conditions. Some trauma benefits are subject to a qualifying period. The benefit can be provided as either an advance payment of a death benefit or on a stand-alone basis. This cover is also available for children who are under the age of 18 years old.
As advances in medicine and technology continue, more people are surviving a critical illness where they may not have in the past. The chances of you suffering a critical illness may not seem likely however, one in two men and one in three women will be diagnosed with cancer before the age of 85 and an estimated 3.67 million Australians are affected by heart/vascular disease or stroke. Trauma payments may be used to pay for lifestyle alterations and any rehabilitation that may be required due to a defined critical illness or to allow you to take time off work to assist in recovery.
Trauma insurance allows for financial flexibility at a challenging time. It can open the door to treatment options that may not have been available without a significant lump sum on hand. It can also fund time for a spouse or family member to take time off work to help care for you when you need it most.
Not all trauma contracts are created equal and there can be significant differences between insurers – how an insurer defines "heart attack", for example. Many insurers offer partial claims on their policies but these can differ also, with some providers paying up to four times what another insurer will pay for the same event. It is important to have guidance and the right advice to ensure that you secure the policy that fits you best on the Sunshine Coast.

Wow - I didn't realise it was going to be that big! It's a gift for a young member of the family - I think he'll be thrilled as he's a tractor fanatic at 6 years old. A practical gift too. The towel has a smoother upper side so it'll be more comfortable to sit on at the beach. It seems to have a thick absorbent power so no usual skinny beach towel.

Francis Oliveira Recycled paper jewelry
"Art for me today is an instrument of transformation."
"I don't have any formal formation; I am self-taught, living new experiences together with my friends. Besides this, I always tried to be linked with some artistic movement, because those experiences were so outstanding that they are present in the artist that I am today.
"I began making this type of jewelry in 2000, when I was working as a social worker at shelter with more than 2000 people. They were poor and some were sick, and amongst them was a woman called Isabel. She had some form of mental problem and she spent the day rolling up pieces of paper or whatever else she had in her hand. She kept moving her hands, it was like a tic that she had.
"I wanted to develop a project that would teach them something that could help them earn some money to cover the day. As the government of Rio owned this shelter, there wasn't a budget, so they could not afford expensive tools and materials. When I saw what Isabel was doing, I decided to explore the possibility of creating a variety of items with rolled-up paper. They started by making bowls and curtains, and finally jewelry. I used to make jewelry when I was young and always liked it, so I knew how to go about it.
"This project lasted until 2003, when the shelter closed down, but I kept crafting different objects at my place, with many people from the shelter coming round to do their pieces too.
"I love this type of work for two main reasons: I think that it is fundamental to start recycling stuff, otherwise the world will become more and more polluted. I am happy to contribute by recycling. And the second reason is that this type of work is helping people earning a living. Before, these people usually stayed in the street asking for money, but now they know how to recycle paper and other techniques, so they can go in the street to selling instead of asking for money, and this is a big improvement.
"Today, art for me has a social nature. There is no doubt that it provides me with my sustenance and income, but this is not the main foundation of my art. I work together with communities in need, shelters for street people, non-profit projects and movements. With what I am doing, I believe art is an instrument of transition.
"We work basically with recyclable materials, preserving nature, mobilizing everyone to an exercise in environmental preservation. Novica is a great partner that opens my eyes to new horizons and the possibilities of showing my work to everyone. And, as in my past, I am picking the fruits of a seed planted 31 years ago: the seed of art."

Objectives of the Lecture
To introduce software engineering and to explain its importance in dealing with large software systems. To provide answers to key questions about software design and development as part of software engineering discipline.
Software systems The impact of software systems on modern society and technology for 50 years. Process automation: automobile industry; refinery; software product family for electronic devices; telephony and switching systems Equipment control: embedded systems in different electronic devices such as home appliances; automobile control gadgets Scientific problems: differential equations; matrix operations; model checking; searching algorithms; information system manipulation Entertainment industry: gaming; graphics; movies; music Education and office management: distance education; word processors; databases; spreadsheets; slide presenters Software systems are around for more than 50 years. They are implemented to assist human in different aspects of their lives such as: process……
Software systems … Example of very large software systems
Flight simulators; medical and imaging applications; air-traffic control; banking; telecommunications; etc. These systems are written in more than 500 different languages. Billions of lines of source code are written for mission critical software systems worldwide. process automation: automobile industry; product families; refineries; .. Equipment control: embedded systems in different electronic devices
Software engineering to solve software crisis
Software crisis refers to the current state of software technology in dealing with development and maintenance of large and complex software systems. Instances are: For every 8 large projects, 2 are cancelled. Most projects exceed their time-schedule by 50%. 75% of large software systems malfunction after completion. Detecting and correcting errors take 50% of time and effort. Maintenance cost of a system is 60% of entire cost. An example: baggage-handling system at Denver international airport 4000 telecars, 5000 electric-eyes, 400 radio receivers, 100 computers, cost $193 million Discuss the cause of each instance of software crisis: Project management Project management and lack of understanding of the problem Lack of accurate software specification Errors that are left in the system since the development was not standard and precise Errors that remained in the system from beginning that is requirement specification SRS The grand opening of the airport was delayed for 9 months because the baggage conveyer belt did not work properly, and had high speed at in the curves that caused the luggage's to be thrown out of the conveyer belt. It cost one-million dollar per day for the airport because of delay in operation. Software engineering tackles the software crisis by providing disciplined processes and methodologies to design, implement, and maintain large systems.

President Trump weighed in on his administration's decision to begin pulling U.S. troops out of northern Syria ahead of a Turkish military operation in the region, saying it was time for Americans to "get out of these ridiculous Endless Wars."
The White House said Sunday that U.S. troops will no longer be in the area.
"Turkey will soon be moving forward with its long-planned operation into Northern Syria. The United States Armed Forces will not support or be involved in the operation, and United States forces, having defeated the ISIS territorial 'Caliphate,' will no longer be in the immediate area," White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said in a statement, adding that "Turkey will now be responsible for all ISIS fighters in the area captured over the past two years in the wake of the defeat of the territorial 'Caliphate' by the United States."
Kurdish-led forces denounced the move as a "stab in the back," reports Reuters.

Feature Night mode " Dark Mode "is a feature began to make their way into more applications these days, and if you chat a lot on your smart phone, especially late at night, the night mode will be able to provide more comfort to work because it says to get rid of the colors bright white that we normally see in applications.
The good news for users of Slack is that it seems that the company started to test Night mode " Dark Mode " in its application on the iOS platform. Note that this only applies to the demo version of the application of the Slack, which means that if you are not using the demo app, you will not see this feature in your device currently. However, testers who use the application Slack demo they'll be able to find a new option to activate Night Mode in the settings.
As explained by the website 9to5Mac, it's night in the applied Slack uses a gray color instead of plain black color. However, we believe that it is still dark enough to where it should be convenient for use in environments of low lighting, but if you prefer a black color, you're out of luck. However, this trial version only, which means that there is a chance to change some things before the launch of the final version of this feature for all users of the application of Slack.
There is currently no information about the date Exit feature Night mode " Dark Mode " of the pilot phase, but given that the testing process has now begun, we hope that this will be a reference to that should launch this feature soon.

"There is pent-up demand for this programme", stated Dr. Suzanne Strasberg, President of the Ontario Medical Association. Ensuring that electronic medical records are available in every doctor's office is an important step towards improving and strengthening Ontario's health care system."
With electronic medical records, physicians are able to prevent adverse drug reactions when writing and renewing prescriptions. They can manage lab results and help develop preventative care strategies. Doctors have ready access to their patient's history, know what tests have been done and when to schedule periodic checks and tests. Physicians also use these electronic records to help their patients manage chronic disease, such as diabetes and depression. Patients can be confident that their information will be available when their physician or someone on his or her team needs it.
The OMA is partnering with eHealth Ontario to increase the number of family physicians and specialists who use and share electronic medical records. Currently 3300 primary care physicians have made the transition to electronic medical records. Now, with this new programme, an additional 5700 physicians will be supported. By 2012, 9000 physicians, including more than 65 percent of primary care physicians, will be using electronic medical records, to the benefit of approximately 10 million Ontarians.
"The adoption of electronic medical records is one of the most important tools needed to increase efficiency throughout the entire health care system", stated the Honourable Deb Matthews, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care.
Under the programme, eligible physicians will receive subsidies to transform their offices. They will receive approximately $28.000 over three years to assist in successfully adopting a certified electronic medical records system. The balance of the investment helps physicians with change management, adoption support services, technology enhancements and access to web-based information. The total cost of the programme is $236 million over three years.
The $236 million investment was made in July by eHealth Ontario. Under the programme's terms, doctors in Ontario can apply for the grant to purchase either a local electronic medical records system from one of eleven approved vendors or a system tied into eHealth Ontario's server.
"These systems help physicians advance patient safety and provide better care through medication management and special features for patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes", stated Rob Devitt, interim President and CEO of eHealth Ontario.
The programme will provide one time and monthly funding, as well as transition and adoption support services. Furthermore, early electronic medical records adopters, who helped expand and evolve the programme are also eligible for a monthly funding subsidy to upgrade their electronic medical records to the latest certified specification.
An electronic medical record is a computer-based medical record that is specific to one physician, practice or organisation. It is the record that a doctor maintains for his or her own patients which details demographics, medical and drug history, diagnostic information and laboratory results. It is often integrated with other software that manages activities such as billing and scheduling.
P & P Data Systems Inc., a developer of paperless solutions for the medical industry, is one of the eleven approved vendors for the programme. A centralized, easily accessible, and secure patient information network is critical to putting patient information at the centre of any clinical environment. With data stored locally at each clinic's facility, P & P's value proposition delivers its clients numerous benefits.
These benefits include:
- Immediate access to information, since it is all stored at each clinic's physical facility
- Sharing of patient information everywhere assessment, diagnosis and treatment decisions occur.
- Reduced costs by shortening billing cycles and other core administrative and clinical operations - including storage and copying costs of medical records.
- Direct data entry by clinicians and staff greatly reduces transcription costs. Direct links to transcription systems also saves time.
- Creation of higher quality documentation.
- Minimization and in many cases, elimination of issues of incorrect or conflicting drug prescriptions.
- EMR systems greatly aid clinicians in immediate patient treatment and in capturing key information.
- More complete records helps clinicians and staff to avoid mistakes and to manage the cost of malpractice insurance.

THRESHOLD (ParaSEEK First Look)
(First Look, See our updated review below): CBS tries to make a return to sci-fi with the new, ambitious Brannon Braga series Threshold. Best described as more horror than traditional science fiction, Threshold offers up a present day invasion story in which the aliens exist in a 4th or other dimension and attempt colonization by altering humans from the other side. The package borrows heavily from previous science fiction, especially the movie Sphere which it emulates in both tone and balance.
To say the series is complex would be an understatement. In the course of an hour, dozens of major bombshells are dropped which seems to indicate two possibilities: there are either hundreds of additional bombshells down the pipe, or the production team has decided to put all their cards on the table, a polar opposite to shows such as Lost.
Ironically, the pacing and cliffhanger ending of the pilot share many aspects with Lost (even a cast member), and CBS has already been asked if the show was intentionally made as a Lost clone, which CBS has flatly denied. Currently slated for Fridays at 9p.m., it will have to deal with the Friday night SCIFI CHANNEL powerhouse of Stargate and Battlestar, the last resting place of Star Trek Enterprise. It may be prudent to shift gears and put Threshold on Saturday or Sunday. It would have a much better time up against the lighter Charmed.
The first hour feels like someone opened up a new puzzle, displayed all the pieces, then threw them in the air. They don't land when the credits roll but they are all out there. The cast, led by Carla Gugino and Star Trek's Brent Spiner, are similarly in flux. No character in the cast has a previous relationship with another, something we've not seen in recent scifi, so it feels like you are in a room full of strangers. The first few weeks will be key to see if the cast can pull things together from this odd positioning. This may be intentional, and if so we applaud the writers for trying it, because it left us alienated and a bit claustrophobic. This normally would indicate bad writing, but in this case put us right where we want to be mentally. Plot-wise, we are placed in a blind point C and left there to fend for ourselves rather than pulled from point A to point B.
We have not been given the final edit of the pilot, nor do we feel it's fair to rate the show in any way until we see a minimum of three episodes. However, we do question where the audience for Threshold will come from. The show combines so many previous incarnations of sci-fi, it will need to please all of them, while hoping that a little horror won't scare off viewers. It will be interesting to see if all of the most explicit scenes, which are set in a horror movie genre, stay intact for the series launch or if the show will be softened to meet the needs of younger viewers. The blood trail makes the show unique, is the last thing we expected to find, and is the one element we can say is definitely not on television at this time.
Stay tuned for our official review when the season begins. (-William J Piniarski-)
We'll admit it. We didn't have high hopes for Threshold. The first draft we were sent had a lot of problems; so many, in fact, that in no way did we think it could hold up to re-runs of Stargate. But to our utter surprise, they fixed the pilot.
As we predicted a little of the gore was toned down. Some of the blood was taken out, and shots of mutilated bodies were shown in shorter frames. It's still not a family show, but we feel they did a good job of keeping all audiences happy.
Character interaction is better. There are no fewer then half a dozen totally brand new scenes in the first hour, including two with Spiner that help explain his character's motivations and pull the supporting cast together. The scene with one of the crew-men's bodies coming back to life was not in the first cut. All in all they spend much more time on the ship which is great.
Most importantly, the alien in the dream has changed. Originally it looked like a black Predator/Alien hybrid, but really it just looked like a human in a bad costume. They altered it so it was blurred, and in this case, less is more. We don't know what the aliens look like now and hope we never learn; because we're dealing with 4 dimensions here, they shouldn't look anything like us. Nor do they really have to have a body.
We'll have to see how this show evolves in the next few episodes, but based on the fact that the editors listened and listened well, Braga may have a hit on his hands. But CBS needs to hold off on pulling the plug. This one could take a good year to take off. They may need to start working on a better companion piece, because Ghost Whisperer is not going to pull the weight. More to come.
UPDATE OCTOBER 13th: TIME FOR OUR REVIEW
Now that we've seen a fair portion of the season we think it's fair to cast our judgement and sharpen our sickles. Cause that's what we do. Sniff.
This is a show full of promise, but we're not sure if it's trying to be an X-files clone or if it's hiding something completely different under the surface. What we do know is, we shouldn't be asking this question 5 episodes into the season. The time has long gone when you can hide your cards and this is especially true when you have every major network throwing out new science fiction at a rate not seen, well, since never. If you want ratings, you need to get them quickly and draw in your audience.
Threshold, for now, is keeping us hooked with a cast that has worked together far better than we could have expected. Carla Gugino is a perfect lead, although we would stop having her throw ill-placed one-liners at her FBI counterpart. Brian Van Holt is dry, and if they are trying to create a Mulder-Scully relationship, it's not working. Abandon that quick! The supporting cast here is a joy, with Spiner delivering his usual brilliance and Peter Dinklage coming from nowhere to be one of our favorites. In a science fiction landscape where you have the same characters over and over again, having an active linguist solving problems is one of Braga's crowning achievements. We would argue that the supporting cast should be much more involved, as with CSI. The one rough spot in this group seems to be Charles S. Dutton (Baylock). We're sick of having him enter a room enraged in the exact same tone. He serves no purpose but to be annoying and to remind that the government is still in charge, and apparently whiny.
The stories are unfortunately carbon copies each week. The team locates another infectee, traps him and maybe we're handed some little bit of data on the alien master design. If this is how the entire season is going to be played out, this show isn't going to work. There better be a right turn and quick, and the threat had better evolve.
Threshold needs to shine quickly and show some variety, or else it will be gone. The clock is ticking and if ratings don't kill it early, then the return of Stargate in January will. Worth watching, YES. For how long, we'll see. But we're hoping.

The Natasha Goulbourn Foundation (NGF) has extended its search for a 40-second animated digital video that would encourage those suffering from depression to seek help and, possibly, to call its 24/7 Hopeline suicide hotline in times of crisis.
NGF president and chief executive officer Jean Goulbourn announced that the video competition's deadline has been moved to Aug. 15, from the original July 31.
The foundation plans to distribute the winning video to various channels, including social media and movie theaters, to make more people aware of mental health issues and the available intervention that would allow them to cope with their condition.
NGF was named after Goulbourn's daughter, who committed suicide after suffering from severe depression. The foundation hopes to avert suicide cases through educational lectures, its Hopeline confidential crisis line and referrals to partner psychologists.
NGF has mounted a mental health campaign for the past five years, including an ongoing campus caravan to bring mental health awareness to schools, through the support of newly appointed Health Secretary Paulyn Ubial.
The video competition, dubbed Hope In 40 Seconds, is a reference to a World Health Organization study showing that one person between 15 and 29 years old is lost to suicide every 40 seconds around the world.
Emotional crisis
"We want to counter the suicide rate … by offering hope so that those who are in emotional crisis and in need of immediate assistance can have someone they can talk to, someone who understands what they are going through and who can give them the support they need," Goulbourn told a recent gathering of representatives from Hopeline, Globe Telecom, the UP Junior Marketing Association and the Department of Health.
NGF has partnered with Globe in providing information and communication capability for Hopeline to enable Globe and TM customers to call toll-free. Goulbourn said Globe has also lent its resources to the video competition.
Globe director for citizenship Fernando Esguerra noted that the telecom company runs a Digital Thumbprint Program workshop that provides guidelines to students on responsible online behavior.
Esguerra explains, "Although there are no official studies … on how cyberbullying affects mental health, there are already reports of young people taking their own lives due to online pressure and stress."
Esguerra added that Globe supports NGF's mental health campaign because "it is also our duty to protect and educate the people on the impact of technology in their lives."
So far, Globe has a partnership with Unicef Philippines and the Ateneo Human Rights Center for the protection of children against online exploitation.
In an earlier interview, Goulbourn said NGF has signed a memorandum of agreement with the Department of Education to incorporate lessons on wellness and emotional resilience in the curricula of Grades 4-12 students.
A pilot of this project will run from September 2016 to July 2017 in select schools.
Although the Hope In 40 Seconds campaign does not impose an age limit on participants, Goulbourn said she wants it to encourage young people in particular to "convince their peers that breathing is valuable to live. The youth is invited to give their 40 seconds to thoughts on how they imagine hope to be, to save a life."
The contest, open to all Filipinos, requires submissions in animated digital video format (flv, wmv, mov, avi, mpeg, mp4) that will not exceed 40 seconds.
Goulbourn said all entries should incorporate Hopeline's numbers— 804-HOPE (4673), 0917558HOPE (4673) and 2919 (toll-free for Globe and TM).
Hopeline's e-mail address is [email protected]
