Hong Kong ,  2003
Directed by Bosco Lam.
A shot on video production set in Sai Kung, set at the same waterfront restaurant that has been home to a great many low budget productions already in recent years, including Cop Unbowed, Love is Butterfly, and who knows what else. In each case, the location is far better than the production. Eric Kot is Jesus, the owner of the restaurant, Sam Lee his buddy, and his son, Jesse, is played by the cute little boy that has been making the rounds in Hong Kong films recently. No one ever appears to actually eat there. Instead a group of friends hang out and pair off as they learn life and love lessons. Among the more painful is the story of Tiffany Lee's character, who no longer speaks after her parents died in a car wreck. The cast is rounded out by a bunch of pop star wanna-be's like the new "E-kids," whose appearance I have already forgotten and whose talent was never in evidence. Tension is supplied in the second half by the boy, who runs off, and Eric Kot, who decides to go surfing in a tsunami.

Firm's real estate app wins international accolade
A due diligence app developed by the Australian offices of an international law firm has been recognised at an innovation event in Las Vegas.
The International Legal Technology Association (ILTA) recently announced Allens as the winner of its Innovative Project of the Year award.
Allens won the award for its Real Estate Due Diligence App, REDDA. The app was developed by a multidisciplinary Allens team in Sydney and Melbourne, in collaboration with artificial intelligence provider Neota Logic, contract review technology company Kira and cloud-based software provider HighQ.
REDDA streamlines the due diligence process for real estate leases using artificial intelligence and collaboration technologies. It integrates the logic of a lease review into an intelligent app and creates real-time reporting through a collaboration site, according to a statement from Allens.
Allens partner Victoria Holthouse, who specialises in real estate, said the app is a boon for lawyers and clients.
"REDDA addresses a pain point identified by our clients: too much professional time spent on reviewing large volumes of data," Ms Holthouse said.
"It takes a lawyer an average five to six hours to thoroughly review one lease to identify material considerations that require further investigation. On a complex real estate transaction, there can be 200 or more leases for review. Traditionally, this work is done by junior lawyers and is a time-consuming process.
"We brought together a multidisciplinary team to work with Neota Logic to find a way to embed more than 20 years of legal knowledge into a tool that analyses leases and flags material issues that require further review."
"For our clients, the REDDA app provides real-time access to flagged issues, faster turnaround and greater efficiency in a large matter. Our lawyers focus on the flagged issues that require time and expertise."
Beth Patterson, chief legal and technology services officer at Allens, said REDDA successfully integrated legal knowledge and AI technology.
"Our approach to innovation is to develop solutions that address clients' needs and make internal processes more efficient," she said.
"REDDA is the perfect fusion between complex legal knowledge and decision-making and artificial intelligence."
The award was presented at ILTACON in Las Vegas last week.

Loaded up 26 people into 4 riggs. And headed up 20 miles north to antelope island national park. They fast it's the best way to experience the great salt lake. Which by the way is rumored to have a whale in it. Rumors. Well when we are there we see smooth water which reflects the images of the Wasatch Mountain range. Ever so clear.the water has 8 times the amt of salt that the ocean has.
While we were there we seen antelope and buffalo. They have several buffalo that run free on the site. I of course in all of my awesomeness stood out side the sun roof to get closer view. Kent, susan, devin, and mckenna actually got out of the car and headed towards the huge beasts.

Smoke billows from Navy Yard, DC
A massive fire breaks out in a five-storey apartment near Navy Yard, Washington DC.
Firefighters rushed to the scene to rescue residents. The building houses a senior citizens' living centre. More than 100 firefighters were working at the scene, NBC Washington reported.
The cause of the fire remains unclear.

I learned that I had almost more fun taking photos of the people waiting for the shuttle than the actual shuttle. I felt that by the time I got the chance to take my shots of it that most of the interesting angles had been done. It didn't stop me, and I'm not sorry for it, but in the end I just wasn't as inspired by it. I wonder if people feel that way about Half Dome.
I also learned to pay close attention to the gas in my car, and by gas in my car I mean photos left on my card. During the shot below, I got everything juuuuuust how I wanted it and then the shutter wouldn't click – I was out of memory and had to take off my pack, get a card out, get the card in, turn the camera back on and by then the few seconds of shot I really wanted had already passed. That seems to be a common theme for me – is it like that for all people who are learning?
Still, a once in a lifetime opportunity to see a space ship driving up Crenshaw Blvd in South Central Los Angeles.

1. Background 2. Policy Statement 3. Policy Purpose 4. Application of Policy 5. Availability 6. Procedures 7. Further Assistance
It is recognised that ACU staff undertake community engagement outside of their normal work arrangements and that this takes many forms.
This policy has been developed to support staff to participate in community engagement activities and outlines time release arrangements during normal working hours.
In line with its mission as a Catholic university that seeks to serve and promote the common good, the university encourages staff to contribute to the community by working collaboratively with community partners, targeting priority groups and communities identified by ACU Engagement, in order to achieve mutually agreed goals. Approved Community Engagement Time Release provides staff with access of up to 5 days per calendar year to participate in community-based activities (where it occurs during your normal working hours) that contribute to the common good, address social justice issues in the community, and help those in our communities who are experiencing disadvantage and/or marginalisation.
This policy informs staff members on how to access Community Engagement Time Release and its application at ACU.
This policy applies to all continuing and fixed term staff of the University.
Community Engagement Time Release is not available to staff that undertake the types of community engagement activities, as per clause 5. Availability, that are a requirement of the normal duties of their position.
For academic staff, Community Engagement Time Release needs to be consistent with the principles for allocating academic workload under the Academic Workload Policy. Australian Catholic University focuses its community engagement on academic staff expertise in teaching and research. Thus, community engagement will normally be embedded within a staff member's teaching and/or research workload. In special circumstances, it may be reflected in other activities as outlined in D14 Other University Activity of the Academic Workload Policy, which provides an allocation for all staff to participate in and undertake other university activities, including Community Engagement Time Release activities, not already embedded within the staff member's academic role.
Community Engagement Time Release provides staff with the opportunity to contribute to advancing the Catholic mission of the University. Community Engagement Time Release enables staff to participate in community-based activities that contribute to the common good, address social justice issues in the community, and help those in our communities who are experiencing disadvantage and/or marginalisation.
Community Engagement Time Release will normally be taken to support recognised ACU community partners and targeting priority groups and communities identified by ACU Engagement. Community Engagement Time Release is designed to support activities including, but not limited to:
A staff member may access up to five (5) days per calendar year (January to December) of time release to participate in approved community engagement activities that satisfy the parameters in this policy and where it occurs during the staff member's normal working hours. Community Engagement Time Release is not cumulative.
Where a staff member can demonstrate the merits of additional Community Engagement Time Release, time release of greater than five (5) days per annum may be approved. A proposal that includes the merits of the proposed community engagement activity and its alignment with ACU's Mission must be provided to the Pro Vice-Chancellor Engagement for appropriate consideration.
Approval is required before a staff member or a group of staff may proceed on a community engagement activity. A staff member that intends to request Community Engagement Time Release should first contact the Office of the Pro Vice-Chancellor, Engagement via email: email@example.com for guidance on whether the proposed community engagement activity supports the Mission of the University.
The request for Community Engagement Time Release will require endorsement of the request by the Nominated Supervisor and then approval of the community engagement activity by the Pro Vice-Chancellor Engagement. If not approved, the Pro Vice-Chancellor Engagement will advise the staff member of the decision.
Major, Minor or Editorial
11 May 2020
Update at clause 2. Policy Statement stating approved Community Engagement Time Release provides access of up to 5 days per calendar year.
Update at clause 4. Application of Policy noting inclusion of D14 "Other University Activity" from revised Academic Workload Policy.
Any staff member who requires assistance in understanding this policy should contact the office of the Pro Vice- Chancellor, Engagement via email: email@example.com. Information on ACU's recognised community partners, priority issues, priority groups and communities can be obtained from the ACU Engagement website or by contacting the office of the Pro Vice-Chancellor, Engagement.
* Unless otherwise indicated, this policy will still apply beyond the review date.

It's that time of year again!! That time when we give the blog over to our immensely talented artists and let them share their thoughts about art, life and more. The November Blogathon has become a Brelby tradition here at the Brelby Buzz, and this year we're wrapping up Season Nine with our favorite Brelby Moments. For the next 30 days, our artists will discuss their favorite Brelby Moments from Season Nine and how that has impacted them and the way they approach their art.
Brelby Theatre Collaborative Artist, Karson Cook explains the Heart of a show which is really why all us theatre kids love theatre.
My Brelby Moment
By Karson Cook
My favorite moment this season has to be Putnam. This show was so incredibly special to me and will hold a special place in mine and every member of the Word Fam's Hearts. From the moment we had our first read through, we knew this show and this cast were special. We had about 80% of the script and songs down and just got to play at every rehearsal. Every rehearsal was different and every night was different. We were so in sync that we would find so many knew motivations and make so many choices and just to have fun all the time. What more could you ask for?
We bonded in a way some casts and production teams never get the chance to; it was truly a magical experience for all of us. We laughed. We cried. We spelled. But above all, we loved each other and we had fun every night and every rehearsal. I and our #WordFam will never forget this show. And if you missed it, you truly missed out on something special. Many people and audiences don't see what goes on behind the scenes, but if people could've seen the magic we had from that read through and on, they'd understand why this show will always be special to everyone that was a part of it. I love every single one of you, and you all know who you are.
So much Putnam love from Season Nine!! We're looking forward to more casts creating moments like this in Season Ten!! Stay tuned for more stories to tug at your heart strings tomorrow and throughout November!

On 21 June 1931, Franz Kruckenberg's Schienenzeppelin (rail zeppelin) set a new world railway speed record of 230.2 km/h (143.0 mph) on the Berlin–Hamburg line between Karstädt and Dergenthin, which was not surpassed by any other rail vehicle until 1954.
The famous Schienenzeppelin was anticipated by the design of the Aerowagon, an experimental Russian high-speed railcar fitted with an aircraft engine and propeller traction invented by Valerian Abakovsky, a Soviet engineer from Latvia. It produced speeds of up to 140 kilometres per hour. The railcar from Germany was built in 1930 near Hannover by German aircraft engineer Franz Kruckenberg and finished in fall of the same year. It was about 15 m long and had two axles. Originally, the railcar had two conjoined BMW petrol aircraft engines powering a four bladed propeller. The body of the Schienenzeppelin was streamlined, having a great resemblance to the era's popular Zeppelin airships, and it was built of aluminum in aircraft style to reduce weight.[3] The railcar could carry up to 40 passengers and its interior was designed in Bauhaus-style.[4] On May 10, 1931 the railcar reached speeds of 200 km/h for the first time and this achievement was reported across the German media immediately. The great success on June 21 was achieved with Kruckenberg steering the rail zeppelin himself and afterwards, the vehicle was displayed in Berlin.
In 1932 Kruckenberg began a new project with the rail car involving significant modifications. It was given a completely new front end while the rear axle remained as it was. The aircraft engine was still used, but the power transmission was hydraulic through two Föttinger Fluid Drives for both directions of travel. Also, a pointed fairing was installed in place of the propeller. Kruckenberg completed this design in November 1932. During test drives in 1933, the new railway reached speeds of 180 km/h. Even though, Kruckenberg's designs never really went into 'mass' production, his designs found their way into later DRG railcar designs. His last version of the rail vehicle was produced in 1934 and it was sold to the Deutsche Reichsbahn (German Imperial Railway) and dismantled in in order to re-use its material for military purposes.
In 1942, the company Luftschiffbau Zeppelin presented plans for four-storey so-called rail zeppelins as part of the broad-gauge railway designed by Adolf Hitler himself from May 1942 until the last days of the Second World War in 1945.
Unfortunately, the use of propellers in crowded railway stations was found too dangerous and due to its construction, it would have been difficult to pull additional wagons to form a train. Furthermore, Safety concerns have been associated with running high-speed railcars on old track network, with the inadvisability of reversing the vehicle, and with operating a propeller in close proximity to passengers. An auxiliary drive powered by batteries was required for manoeuvring. Reversing was not even possible with the fixed pitch propeller, so the rail zeppelin was a single-purpose vehicle and required turntables or track triangles for turning. If these were not available, long and cumbersome turns were sometimes necessary. However, the Russian Aerowagon as well as the German Schienenzeppelin were precursors to the American M-497 Black Beetle railcar and the Soviet turbojet train, all three of them being experimental vehicles featuring the combination of railcar and aircraft engine.

The trailer for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse has dropped, along with cast announcements!
Sony released the first full trailer for their forthcoming animated feature Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse starring Shameik Moore (Dope, The Get Down) in a different take on your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. The studio also announced an all-star cast joining Moore lending their voice to the series.
In the trailer, producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller apply a groundbreaking visual style to Spider-Man — a style that immerses you in the pages of a comic book when introducing you to Brooklyn teen Miles Morales (Moore) his turn as the web-slinger and the limitless possibilities of the Spider-Verse, where more than one can wear the mask.
Joining Moore are Hailee Steinfeld, Mahershala Ali, Jake Johnson, Liev Schreiber, Brian Tyree Henry, Luna Lauren Velez and Lily Tomlin.

How do we use Cases?
The case method involves 3 distinct stages of learning that complement and build on one another:
Step 1: Individual Preparation
At this stage, students read the case and prepare their response. They apply a problem solving model appropriate to their field of study to the decision outlined in the case and spend time generating and evaluating alternatives, developing their plan of action. Typically, teachers provide some scaffolding (either a series of questions or a specific problem solving model) to help students approach the issue in a systematic way. Students can also spend time at this stage gathering information needed to solve the case whether from their course materials or through research.
Step 2: Small Group Work
At this stage, students get together in small groups to discuss their solutions to the case. They challenge each other to justify their alternatives and their criteria for evaluating their alternatives, pointing out important details of the case that their peers may have missed. Each student therefore reinforces and refines his or her solution to the case, developing communication skills and honing his or her problem solving skills.
Step 3: Large Group Discussion
At this stage, the class as a whole discuss the case, articulating the important aspects of the situation, the constraints on the decision maker, the alternatives and the criteria used to evaluate those alternatives. Participants challenge each other to justify their positions and refine their solutions. The teacher facilitates but allows the students to drive the discussion. Typically, the class comes to a consensus about the best alternative(s).

Help protect our marine national parks and save our marine lifeLong term volunteer role
Western Australia
In 2012 Australia created the world's largest network of sanctuaries. Now they are all at risk. Divers, fishers, businesses & ocean lovers are coming together to save our sanctuaries.
Save our Marine Life is a growing community of people, organisations and businesses working to protect Australia's unique marine life, safeguard our healthy coastal lifestyle and save our new national network of marine sanctuaries.
More than 100,000 people have already joined Save Our Marine Life's Big Blue Army to protect our marine life and help create Australia's world-leading national network of marine sanctuaries. Our support of sanctuaries is based on the best science evidence, which is conclusive about the benefits of large 'no take' areas for the health of fish stocks, for safeguarding and encouraging a diversity of life, and for resilience against the impacts of climate change.
But now, every sanctuary we've helped to secure is at risk, and there's too much at stake to stop now. We are working together to defend our national network of sanctuaries for our marine life, for the people, the businesses and the communities that depend on them.
If you are interested in attending an info night for volunteers or becoming involved in the campaign or helping out on stalls, please send your name, number and email address to the Sandy Seal Facebook Page or email Community Campaigner Kady on email@example.com

January 2017
By Laurence Kaldor, President of the VCLF
JANNYDA SRE FIRST participated in the Boys and Girls Club of Pomona Valley the summer before her freshman year of high school and has been intimately involved ever since. She attributes the life affirming lessons and incalculable benefits of the organization to her bright future ahead as she proudly soldiers through her freshman year at UCLA.
The Boys and Girls Club is her home and everyone at the club is her family. She reflects, "They have supported me and pushed me to achieve greatness. I have learned many crucial life skills and gained numerous experiences that are definitely life changing."
Life for Jannyda before the club was not so bright and sunny. She grew up in the projects in a small apartment with her mother and two brothers. Life was difficult enough being the youngest and the only girl. "I never knew my father," she recalls. "But I always wanted to."
As for the necessities, her mother did the best she could with what they had—she acknowledges that mom provided the basics, "a roof over my head, clothes on my back, and food in my stomach.
"But the one thing that she did not provide was affection," Jannyda continued. "She always held back her feelings from me. I never knew why, and until this day, I'm still not quite sure."
Jannyda's isolation was not limited to affection, for the entirety of her childhood, she was kept locked in the small apartment with her brothers anytime they weren't attending school. They were essentially shutoff from the outside world. Into her early high school years she wasn't afforded any extra- circular activities, a social life or any friends whatsoever.
"It was like living in a cage," she remembers with great sadness. "I was never given the opportunity to hang out with friends after school or even have sleepovers. We did not have cable television. We did not have internet. We did not have freedom. My mother restricted everything."
Their living space was sparse and cramped, she remembers with sorrow, "It literally felt like I was living inside a cage."
Compounding her living situation, when she was at school, she was embarrassed by life she had no control over. "We were not like other families. My mother was incapable of work, so we lived off of government assistance my entire life. We had social security (SSI), medical, food stamps, and Section 8 housing," she explained.
She was mortified to have to wear ratty hand-me- down clothing most of the time. And the worst part was they were from her brothers. Most years it was difficult for her mother to pay all of the essential bills. Jannyda carried such shame as a child, "People would mock me, taunt me, and just destroy my self-esteem."
It wasn't until she found the Boys and Girls Club that her life began to finally change for the better. "It was the club that changed it all and showed me that I should use the things I dislike about my lifestyle as motivation to aim for an even better lifestyle in my future and the future of my own family."
In 2014, she was nominated to be the Boys and Girls Club of Pomona Valley's 2014-2015 Youth of the Year. Some of her peers told her that she should not be the Boys and Girls Club's representative because of her underprivileged and uncouth upbringing. Others picked on her "bad habits" and claimed that she did not fit the role of "Youth of the Year."
Jannyda's Teen Director, Lance Holliday, who nominated her, always believed in her. He encouraged her to continue to thrive and prove to everyone who doubted her that she could rise to the honor. Jannyda remembered, "He taught me how to be humble but to not let them silence me. He showed me that my story can make a big impact and let my voice move the people. I was the club's Youth of the Year for two years and I hold that title proudly because I've worked for it. I worked to change myself as a whole. I wanted to be better. I wanted to have a better attitude, a better view, and simply be a better person. I didn't want to let the negativity going on at home to affect me anymore."
The Boys and Girls Club taught her so many things about life and how to overcome her own personal struggles. They also taught her how to be a better person through community service. "I didn't want any of the other people around me to suffer anymore. I wanted everyone—children, teens, and even adults—to understand that there is always a helping hand. You may not find it at home, you may not find it at school, you may not even find it within the circle of your friends, but you will definitely find it at the club. At the club, each and every one of us is special in our own way and we have different potentials.
The club showed me that I had the potential to make an impact among our youth and myself. I have to admit, sometimes I did not want to be the bigger person or hold my tongue when people say hurtful things to me and constantly bring me down. And I know a lot of people can relate. But Victor Caceres, the Executive Director at my club, told me that, 'Sometimes we simply have to brush it off because the most successful people fight the toughest battles. Not all battles were won, but that did not stop them.' "
"The club, the members, and the community," Jannyda said, "are my motivation."
Jannyda is just one of more than 3,000 local kids helped by Boys and Girls Clubs, funded in part by Valley attorneys through their support of the VCLF . Every year the VCLF supports the Boys and Girls Club with financial contributions, from which real and positive results come, like the success of Jannyda Sre.
"The Boys and Girls Club is a great example of an organization the VCLF proudly supports," says VCLF President Laurence Kaldor. "They are providing great and necessary services to our community, and we are proud to fund their efforts."
It's estimated that helping someone like Jannyda costs about $590 per year. That's right, just $590, to help a child, impacted by life's challenges, a casualty of the impoverished sectors of our society, yet turning out to be a shining star.
"There are a lot of Jannydas out there in the San Fernando Valley," says Kaldor. "We'd like to help as many as possible. We love getting large corporate donations, but here's a very concrete way an individual, an attorney, a judge, or a businessperson can make a real difference. For a donation of $590, we can help another Jannyda right now."

We bought one for our nephew who's reasonably new to the actual R/C scene (as opposed to the rinky-dink tinker toys). This kit is amazing and has everything! So cool is this set up that I bought another one for my husband, the ex R/C track owner! I used to buy all the products for our store. Had this been available I would have definitely carried it!
Sure - you can piece together your RC toolbox one item at a time, but if you want to show up at your next RC event fully-equipped, take a look at our Complete 29-piece Racing Tool Set w/Pro Carrying Bag. This set includes practically everything you will need to wrench on your RC, whether you are going off-road or on-road, car or truck, nitro or electric, crawler or truggy. So what do you get in this set?
It starts with the hex wrenches.

parenting books
There are so many books out there that can be helpful in the parenting journey. The following books, organized alphabetically by title, have influenced our personal philosophy and our decision making for the better.
This page includes affiliate links. Basically, if you choose to purchase any of these items through the links provided, you will be supporting this website and my family at no cost to you.
Attachments: Why You Love, Feel, and Act the Way You Do
Ideal for: all parents, all humans
We recommend this book to everyone, parent or not. This book, more than any other, influences the way we parent. It provides an importance basis for understanding attachment styles and how it influences us as parents, spouses, and people in general. Kevin originally read this as a textbook for his counseling program, but don't let that scare you: it's insightful, interesting, and easy to read.
The Danish Way of Parenting: What the Happiest People in the World Know About Raising Confident, Capable Kids
Ideal for: parents who are looking for a new perspective on parenting
If you're finding that your parenting journey has felt more stressed than happy, it may be time to take some advice from the Danes. Using the acronym PARENT – play, authenticity, reframing, empathy, no ultimatums, togetherness and hygge – the book shows how the values of the Danish culture impact parenting and, in turn, the nature of their children. I found this easy-to-read book to be a gem, ripe with helpful tips and ideas to make time with my children more enjoyable and life-giving.
For the Children's Sake: Foundations of Education for Home and School
Ideal for: parents concerned about their child's education
This book is what fully inspired me to homeschool my kiddos. Gleaning from the rich wisdom of educator Charlotte Mason, Macaulay's text provides a foundation for the whys and hows of home education.
Good Nights: The Happy Parents' Guide to the Family Bed (and a Peaceful Night's Sleep)
Ideal for: parents considering, or are already committed to, co-sleeping
I was pregnant with my second and co-sleeping with our toddler when I picked this book up from a resource shelf at the birth center. Though co-sleeping was working well for Levi, I still felt a bit ashamed about the whole ordeal. Fortunately, though, I read this book. With a casual tone, Gordon and Goodavage address the history and benefits of co-sleeping (even its impact on sex). Reading this book actually pushed me to make the decision to co-sleep with Lucy right from the start, and I'm so glad we did.
How to Raise a Wild Child: The Art and Science of Falling in Love with Nature
Ideal for: any parent
This book is full of information and practical advice for getting your kids to become a lover of nature. Sampson laces anecdotes, statistics, and tips together in an extensive text that will inspire you to be a nature mentor to your kids, whatever age they are. It also will remind you of our need for nature; something that we, as a society, are forgetting all too often.
The Importance of Being Little: What Young Children Really Need from Grownups
Ideal for: parents of little ones
This book will remind you of the amazing gifts your little one has, and instruct you on, as the title says, what they really need from us adults. It will make you reframe your thinking on what's most important in education, play, and relating to these special little people.
Parenting: 14 Gospel Principles That Can Radically Change Your Family
Ideal for: Christian parents
As a Christian, I've struggled with finding a harmonious union between biblical wisdom and cultural psychology and theory. I found that I have disagreed with a lot of Christian parenting advice, finding most recommendations are focused more on behavioral modification than true discipleship. Paul Tripp's book, however, is completely founded on the principles of grace and how we use that to be advocates of God's love in the lives of our children. It has changed the way I think about parenting on a day-to-day basis, and has reminded me that I need God's grace in my own life in order to parent well.
Simplicity Parenting: Using the Extraordinary Power of Less to Raise Calmer, Happier, and More Secure Kids
Ideal for: parents of toddlers and up; parents who feel their child is overwhelmed or demonstrating negative behaviors
In a culture that values stuff, busyness, and entertainment, children are beginning to suffer. Payne offers many insights into how to create a more simple life for our children, and for ourselves. With practical suggestions and the reasoning to back, this book offers a lot to the American parent and, ultimately, to our children. I found it to be highly convicting.
Unlatched: The Evolution of Breastfeeding and the Making of a Controversy
Ideal for: parents considering breastfeeding, parents of breastfed children
If you need information on why breastfeeding matters or an encouragement to stick with it, this book is for you. Personal and informative, Grayson takes the reader through a journey of the importance of breastfeeding, why it's so controversial, and the benefits of breastfeeding for the mother, child, and society at large.
The Vaccine-Friendly Plan: Dr. Paul's Safe and Effective Approach to Immunity and Health-from Pregnancy Through Your Child's Teen Years
Ideal for: parents-to-be through parents of teenagers
This book is an incredible reference, based off of the experience and knowledge of Dr. Paul Thomas. It provides a different perspective on the issue of vaccines, fully backed by science and his extensive personal experience. This book revolutionized my thinking.
The Whole-Brain Child: 12 Revolutionary Strategies to Nurture Your Child's Developing Mind
Ideal for: parents of toddlers through grade-schoolers
This text is so helpful for understanding the way that the mind of a young child works. So often, we put too high of expectations on our children, especially when it comes to their emotions. This text helps with understanding why our children behave then they do, and with helpful illustrations, illuminating anecdotes, and practical strategies, it helps equip parents to help young ones navigate through their emotions and make sense of the world around them.

Why Did Sophie Turner Dye Her Hair Blonde? Whatever The Reason, She Couldn't Look Better
You likely recognize this actress from her role as Sansa Stark on Game of Thrones . If you're familiar with her, then you know that she's most-known for being a beautiful redhead. But, now, she's gone and dyed her hair white blonde. I must say, I'm loving the transformation. Why did Sophie Turner dye her hair blonde in the first place, though? Well, let's explore the possibilities, shall we?
A very highly likely reason for switching up her 'do could be because she's feeling like having a little more fun this summer because you know what they say about blondes, after all. Since she's not one for trying super daring beauty looks, I originally thought this dye job may be for an upcoming role. She is set to star in the film Berlin I Love You. So, her blonde hair could very well be for her latest movie project.
There's no denying she'll be the star of the show with her bright new hair color. Whatever the reason for the change, though, she couldn't look more amazing her bleached locks. If you're going to stray from your signature look, you may as well make a big statement. And Turner's doing just that. All I can say is, Bravo!
She may have just done a thing, but boy did she do it well!
1. Messy
She's great at subtly changing up how she styles her hair, and she even looks good with a "rolled out of bed" kind of look.
2. Loose Curls
Those loose ringlets are just beautiful.
3. Slicked Back
A slicked back, sleek style works well for her, too.
4. Crown Braid
Only she could make a braided crown this elegant.
5. Half Up, Half Down
So simple, yet so stunning.
6. High-Class Pony
She's got a way of making classic hairstyles seem so sophisticated, doesn't she?
7. Sleek & Straight
Loose curls or stick straight, this over the shoulder thing is always a great move.
8. Middle Part
While you typically see her with a deep side part, she can rock a middle part, too. And that's no easy feat, if you ask me. Middle parts just aren't for everyone, you know what I mean?
9. Long Braid
There just isn't a single hairdo she can't pull off.
She's bound to sport these blonde strands just as well. And I, for one, can't wait to watch her do it.

I went to my SSDI video hearing on February 14,2019. 10 minutes after the hearing started they lost the network connection and could not get it back on. So they said they would have to reschedule the hearing. I would like to know how long it will take to reschedule the hearing with this kind of situation. Has anyone had this experience ? I do have a lawyer representing me. I hope it won't take too long.

|Aurora Rhododactyllos, much praised by the poets. Also called Eos, she's the sister of the archaic Titan Hyperion/Sol/Phoebus, the goddess of the dawn who casts dew on the grass and announces the arrival of her brother Apollo. She bestows favor upon sailors, giving them omens for the day's sailing, and she is worshipped under the name Matutina by women who are about to give birth. She and her sister/alter ego Selene are the only goddesses to have not just consorted with but actually married mortal men, Tithonus and Endymion, who were granted immortal life. She has thus been regarded as a goddess of good fortune, and on many colonies has been conflated with the goddess Tyche/Fortuna herself.
Common History
In Colonial mythology, Aurora renews herself every morning and flies across the sky, announcing the arrival of the sun. Her parentage is unknown, but poets name Aurora as the mother of the Winds. Aurora appears most often in sexual poetry with one of her lovers, Tithonus, who as a mortal would age and die. Wanting to be with her lover for all eternity, Aurora asked Zeus to grant immortality to Tithonus. Zeus granted her wish, but she failed to ask for eternal youth to accompany his immortality, and he became forever old.
Sometimes refered to as Eos, she was a goddess of dawn, bringer of the early light when came from the ocean's stream at the far east to overcome the night. She was often described as being hope and rejuvenation to all living mortal beings as they woke up in the morning, filled with energy and ready to resume their work and journey and life in general. She is said to have been bringing light to heavens and Kobol and was also used to describe all the charms of dawn, for the movement of the stars, and orientation or navigation, it is said that her home island was Aeaea, the dancing grounds of Eos.
Related Colony
- Picon: While Picon is largely known for it's devotion to Poseidon, it was also home to the largest concentration of Aurora followers, although there seems to have been no particular reason for this other than simple settlement patterns. Temples specifically devoted to her (Matuta) are rare though, and she is usually worshiped in shrines that form part of larger temple complexs to other, more prominant Lords and Ladies.
Common Rituals
The festival to Aurora was called the Matralia, the festival of the matrons, and celebrated on the 11th of June in her temples. As the goddess of growth, childbirth, motherhood and the raising of children the goddess was honored by the matrons of the colonies and all mothers were honored on this day by their spouces and children. During the Matronalia women prayed to the goddess Aurora for the safety and blessing of their children and nephews and nieces. The honoured role of decorating the statue of Aurora was usually only given to a newly married woman, and such was the status of the role that many couples timed their marriages to give them a better chance of selection. Offerings were made to Aurora in the form of testuacia (toasted sacred cakes) that had been cooked in special earthenware containers called 'testu'. The rituals conducted during Matralia included the re-enactment of myths relating to the goddess Aurora. The feast of Matralia celebrated the coming dawn of the longest day in the year (summer solstice 21st June), thus the Matralia was essentially the feast to celebrate the dawn of the second half of the year.
Cults and Sects
- Matrons of Matuta - It is perhaps not surprising that the Goddess of Childbirth had a following amongst those medically trained to assist at births. Long before the First Cylon war a group of them on Virgon together to found their own temple much more akin to those of Asclepius', only instead of catering to the sick in their dormatories, they were a sanctuary for those about to give birth. The movement grew and spread to other colonies, much to the chargrin of some hospitals, but the Matrons persisted and grew. Their temples are a place of safety, comfort, and wellbring in the first few months of an infants life, with most offering care for up to the first three months after birth. Some however, particularly on Caprica, branched out and start offering daycare services for pre-school children as well.
- New Dawn - While most sects devoted to Aurora focus on the positive aspects, every now and again one appears that takes an extreme view on the concept of new dawnings and rebirth. The most recent started on Aerlion about ten years before the Second Cylon War, and was based around the hugely charismatic Priestess Magdalena Ostlander. Her following quickly grew from a small side temple in a complex dedicated to Hera, into a large community that built it's own complex out in the hills. All migth have been fine if they'd stuck to their ceremonies, but Magdalena claimed to be an Oracle and called for the Colonies to be reborn in a blaze of fire, like the Suns each morning. In their secluded outpost her followers started to stockpile weapons and explosives, while others went out to scout targets, and recruit like minded souls. Their first target was a Temple of Zeus about forty miles outside of the planetary capital, Gaoth, which they attacked with fire bombs and homemade incenduaries. The second the Hera complex where Magdalena had started. It proved to be a poor choice of targets though, for the police managed to track the cult back to their hillside fortress and after attempts at negotiation for a surrender failed, stormed the facility and killed most of the members. As for Magdalena herself? Well, it depends who you ask. Official records have her identifed as a charred corpse who'd self-immolated rather than face capture, but local legend says she escaped, and for years any house, barn, or wild fire within 200 miles was blamed on her, or her restless soul.
Hear me, O Goddess! Whose emerging ray
Leads on the broad refulgence of the day;
Blushing Aurora, whose celestial light
Beams on the world with reddening splendours bright:
Angel of Titan, whom with constant round,
Thy orient beams recall from night profound:
Labour of every kind to lead is thine,
Of mortal life the minister divine.
Mankind in thee eternally delight,
And none presumes to shun thy beauteous sight.
Soon as thy splendours break the bands of rest,
And eyes unclose with pleasing sleep oppressed;
Men, reptiles, birds, and beasts, with general voice,
And all the nations of the deep, rejoice;
For all the culture of our life is thine.
Come, blessed power! and to these rites incline:
Thy holy light increase, and unconfined;
Diffuse its radiance on thy mystic's mind.
Characters with this Patron

New Generation of Designers Coming to Singapore Art Museum : Meet the Alchemists
The very word Alchemy, much like the process, has meant a lot of different things throughout its long history of practice. From the Early Greek for "black earth", over Late Greek for "black magic", to the Arabic for "philosopher's stone", alchemy has seen a range of uses and applications. Though it has lost most of its purposes with the rise of modern science in 17th century, it can be said that the tradition lives through us, and that there's a bit of an alchemist in most of us. Whether you enjoy mixing vegetables in the pot while brewing your lunch on the stove, or excite about results of various unpredictable experiments, odds are you would have made a fine alchemist in medieval times. Today, however, the use of alchemy as such is mostly confined within its practical implementation in chemistry and medicine, influencing modern life enormously. But modern discussions of alchemy speak of another aspect of this practice; one spiritual, esoteric that has been pursued by certain historians, psychologists, spiritualists and of course, artists. Starting January 16th, 2016, you are able to attend an exhibition fittingly named "The Alchemists", and witness the artistic part of alchemy as 15 talents from Singapore explore the results of alchemical process of substance transformation. The exhibition will see opening at Singapore Art Museum during Singapore Art Week in 2016, and with the new art fair Singapore Contemporary opening around the same time, Singapore is the place to visit in January.
Turning Lead Into Gold
More than to simply showcase new production technologies, the intent of "The Alchemists" is to develop a more contemporary attitude for the art of designing, as Stefano Casciani, the Italian editor, writer, designer and exhibition curator, mentioned. Inspired by the alchemical process of transforming substances such as lead into gold, a new generation of Singaporean designers set on a path of exploration through design, applying transmutation principles to numerous materials: from nylon laser sintering to resin pouring, from liquid coloring of ceramics to acrylic textiles moulding. In its attempt to answer the question "what can be designed by applying the process of transmutation?" the project that represents a "sequel" to the Italian movement of the 1970s, Studio Alchimia, hopes to reflect on the current state of design from a Singapore perspective.
The Converging Point
You might consider turning mercury into gold an achievement, but what matters more than result itself is the recipe to making it. Selecting designers that vary in age and experience, the project's most valued purpose was to bring together this group of talented designers, and hopefully create a converging point for future generations. "This project hopes to serve both as a converging and a departure point for more dialogue and collaboration among this group of designers, as well as future generations of designers to come" says Patrick Chia, the exhibition co-curator. Having its design prototypes shown in an exhibition at Triennale di Milano as part of Milan Design Week in April 2015, "The Alchemists" proves the "value of its recipe", which will see its final installment at Singapore Art Museum.
The Alchemists Exhibition at Singapore Art Museum
Though you might not find a philosopher's stone or witness any black magic at Singapore Art Museum, the works to be exhibited are literal magic in design themselves. Presenting fifteen talented designers who vary in age and experience, the project is reshaping designing perspective in a global context, showcasing one last event. The exhibition "Singapore Design: The Alchemists" will last from 16th to 31st of January, 2016, and hosted at Singapore Art Museum with an opening reception on January 15th from 7 – 9 PM.

DOL Fiduciary Rule Arrives June 9…Will It Survive?
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Circle June 9 on your calendar. That's the date that the DOL's fiduciary rule will kick into effect. At least that's what Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta announced in an op-ed piece he penned for the Wall Street Journal, saying that "respect for the rule of law" precludes further delay.
It's a victory for supporters of the rule, which states that financial advisers must act in the best interest of clients in retirement accounts. It got delayed 60 days when President Donald Trump directed the DOL to evaluate the Obama-era regulation.
The financial industry got caught off guard. Stock prices took a hit, with shares of LPL Financial (LPLA) down 2.4%, while Franklin Resources (BEN) dropped 1.8%.
Elsewhere, Artisan Partners Asset Management (APAM) fell 1% and Invesco (IVZ) fell 0.9%, while Legg Mason (LM), Charles Schwab (SCHW) and Wisdom Tree Investments (WETF) each dropped 0.6%.
Still, the DOL's evaluation continues, leaving the door open for repeal or modification before the rule's final implementation on Jan. 1. Keefe, Bruyette & Woods analysts Ryan Krueger, Ann Dai and Blake Mock highlighted a handful of comments from Acosta's op-ed piece as suggesting that Trump's new labor secretary "believes the DOL fiduciary rule is too restrictive on investment choice, views private right of action as potentially problematic, and is seeking more coordination with the SEC.:"
What did Acosta write to give Krueger and his team that impression? Look below:
- "Although courts have upheld this rule as consistent with Congress's delegated authority, the Fiduciary Rule as written may not align with President Trump's deregulatory goals. This administration presumes that Americans can be trusted to decide for themselves what is best for them."
- "Certainly, it is important to ensure that savers and retirees receive prudent investment advice, but doing so in a way that limits choice and benefits lawyers is not what this administration envisions."
- "Trust in Americans' ability to decide what is best for them and their families lead us to the conclusion that we should seek public comment on how to revise this rule."
- "Under the Obama administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission declined to move forward in rule-making. Yet the SEC has critical expertise in this area. I hope in this administration the SEC will be a full participant."

The crashing of the nuclear power-energized Cassini space probe into Saturn – a process that began on April 22, Earth Day – will culminate this Friday, September 15. The probe – containing more deadly plutonium than has ever been used on a space device – will then reach Saturn's atmosphere and disintegrate as it plummets to Saturn.
The Cassini space probe was launched 20 years ago despite protests around the world. The $3.27 billion mission constituted a huge risk. Cassini with its 72.3 pounds of Plutonium-238 fuel was launched on a Titan IV rocket on October 17, 1997 despite several Titan IV rockets having earlier blown up on launch…

In the last couple of years, fans have witness John Cena take a more backseat approach on the WWE roster as of late. As his role in the company diminishes, the 16x World Heavyweight Champion has taken a more active approach in Hollywood.
During an interview with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Cena reflects on his feud with The Rock heading into Wrestlemania 28 and the regret he has for calling him out for leaving the WWE for Hollywood. Check out the quote below:
"It was stupid of me," Cena said. "It genuinely was. That was my perspective at the time. When you're involved in the daily grind of WWE, and that's something I never will let go of—I promise you that. I just love it, and I don't think I need to say that, ever again, or have somebody question my allegiance to a brand, not the sport of professional wrestling, so to say, but a brand. I love the WWE. For me to not be able to see Dwayne's vision on what he wanted to do personally, and how his personal success could affect a growing global brand, that was just ignorant on my part."

Yet while the review notes that the XK is "not quite a canyon-carving sports car," it's still "sporty enough to please those looking for something more than just a pretty automotive fashion accessory." Plus, the XK enjoys an advantage over its quicker rivals -- its smooth ride gives it a luxurious, sports-tourer feel.
The 2008 Jaguar XK comes with a 4.2-liter V8 engine that makes 300 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 310 pound-feet of torque at 4,100 rpm. According to Jaguar, the XK coupe can reach 0 to 60 miles per hour (mph) in 5.9 seconds and has a maximum speed of 155 mph.
Several test drivers take issue with the XK's available power. AutoWeek notes that the "V8 should produce more than 300 hp. For this money, you shouldn't feel cheated on the power," and adds, "There are plenty of smaller-displacement engines putting out more power (but not always as much torque)." Consequently, Edmunds reports that the XK simply can't match "the straight-line pace of competitors like the BMW 6 Series or Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class -- 300 horsepower just isn't enough these days." Likewise, the Detroit News finds the XK is "not nearly as muscular as a Corvette, which pulls a lusty 400 horsepower from its beefy 6.0-liter V-8." Bottom line: If you're purely interested in off-the-line power, you may want to look elsewhere.
Despite these criticisms, many find the V8 plenty adequate. USA Today notes that its "unimpressive on paper," but reports that the Jag's drive-by-wire system "rapidly cranks on the revs and power, and you're shooting ahead at a very satisfying and exciting rate. The power is more than enough for sporty endeavors, owing to a car that's lighter than the one it replaced." In the same vein, Cars.com notes that "there's more to acceleration than test times. How a drivetrain does its job is critical, and here the XK is exceptional." CNET admits that the XK "is not the fastest or most powerful car in its class, but its relatively lightweight body means that a squeeze of the accelerator at 2,000rpm will push driver and passenger back into their perforated soft-grain leather seats."
Reviewers also love the sound of the V8, which Edmunds describes like this: "On South Africa's smooth, sweeping roads, we reveled in the throaty roar from the two-stage muffler. At idle, it purrs; under hard acceleration, there's a yowl reminiscent of the thrilling note from the parallel exhaust pipes of Jag's classic XK120. Time after time, we ran the XK through its gears just to hear their symphony." Cars.com calls the exhaust note "intoxicating," noting it's "just audible enough in normal driving, and it becomes a roar befitting the grandest jaguar of the four-legged variety." However, Automobile Magazine -- one of the few detractors -- says of the sound, "We could deal with something a little rootier, tootier, and fruitier, but maybe that's just us."
Fuel economy is a definite plus for the XK. In fact, the New York Times calls it "laudable, class-leading." According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the XK coupe is expected to net 16 miles per gallon (mpg) in the city and 25 mpg on the highway -- "not bad for a performance car with a V-8 and automatic," says the Detroit News. Premium fuel is recommended.
The V8 is paired with a six-speed ZF electronic automatic transmission that gets very good reviews. A Sequential Shift feature allows the driver to manually change gears via the gearshift or steering wheel-mounted paddles (a first for Jaguar). Drivers can choose between several modes: Drive, Sport Auto or Sport Manual. Cars.com says the transmission is "excellent," adding that "it has the absolute best Sport mode I've ever driven."
The Cars.com review continues: "First off, the upshifts and downshifts are very quick -- a basic characteristic that's taken a backseat in recent years to additional gears and technological 'advances.' I've driven many automatics that are claimed to adapt to your driving style, but never has a transmission read my mind like the XK's. When I wanted quick acceleration, it stayed in a lower gear exactly the right duration." Likewise, Road & Travel Magazine says the Sequential Shift "feels smooth and steady -- and completes a shift from touch to turn in approximately 600 milliseconds, making it the fastest automatic transmission available, and quite possibly the fasted Sport shift around." But AutoWeek, one of the few to offer criticism, says, "I found myself dreaming of a manual gearbox, or at least a paddle-shifted double-clutch setup. This six-speed automatic is not bad, and the paddle-shift operation works pretty well, but it upshifts too slowly."
Though the XK's acceleration and power gets some negative reviews, the Jag's handling is a completely different story. Test drivers love its stiff yet smooth ride, nimble cornering and excellent road grip. Kelley Blue Book says "the most fun for serious drivers comes through the twisty bits as its big, meaty tires virtually velcro the XK's lightweight aluminum body to the pavement. It feels smaller and lighter than it is. Steering and braking are equally outstanding." Likewise, Cars.com says, "The XK isn't a small car, but in short order I was driving it like one, flinging it into curves, powering out of turns and generally enjoying its capability and poise."
The XK's all-aluminum chassis, new in 2007, gives it a stiffer, lighter structure than the previous-generation model. It features unequal-length double wishbone suspension in the front and rear, plus coil springs. The Detroit News says the ride is "supple and comfortable, with none of the stiff or bouncy feel that you sometimes get in a sports car." Consumer Guide reports that the "well-controlled base suspension delivers a firm but comfortable ride devoid of jolts and highway float." The Chicago Sun-Times offers even more praise, saying, "The supple, advanced suspension delivers a ride that's so good you can feel each wheel smoothing out bumps."
Aiding ride feel is Jaguar's Enhanced Computer Active Technology Suspension (eCATS). According to the manufacturer, this system "automatically ensures the optimum balance between ride and handling -- under every kind of road and driving condition -- by continuously adjusting the vehicle's shock absorber settings." CNET reports that the system gives the XK "impeccable road manners on the twistiest of roads." Cars.com comments that eCATS "does a very good job, automatically," but adds that "it wouldn't hurt to add a soft/firm selector for the suspension, simply because if people pay for technology, they want to know it's there and that they can play with it." In addition to eCATS, the XK gets Trac Dynamic Stability Control (TracDSC), which, according to Jaguar, "uses the anti-lock braking and traction control systems to improve directional stability when cornering, helping to prevent skids and loss of control by reducing power from the engine, and applying the brakes to individual wheels as appropriate."
The XK's power-assisted, speed-sensitive, variable-ratio rack-and-pinion steering gets some mixed reviews. While the Detroit News says it "helps you feel connected to the road." The Chicago Sun-Times describes steering as "plenty quick, and the car adroitly handles fast curves and sudden directional changes." Edmunds says the XK "corners like a racecar, with no drama."
However, others aren't as kind. AutoWeek says there's "almost too much steering response that makes it feel a little darty, like the front end is turning quicker than the rest of the car can handle. That may be something that just takes getting used to, after years of Jags that didn't provide such responsiveness." The New York Times also notes some opposition: "Early drivers have had notably mixed views about the speed-sensitive rack-and-pinion steering. Some drivers have described it as numb, and others as too heavy. I thought it was nicely weighted." The reviewer adds, "This new cat feels light on its paws. It sinks its claws into the pavement and springs eagerly out of the turns."
The XK features ventilated performance anti-lock disc brakes that allow increased airflow to improve stopping distance and reduce fade in hard use. They come with a passive brake booster, hydraulic brake assist, and Electronic Brake Force Distribution. An electronic parking brake engages automatically when "Park" is selected and disengages when the vehicle is in gear and the accelerator is pressed.
The brakes receive excellent reviews, with Edmunds calling them "incredible, powerful enough to stop the car in just over 113 feet from 60 mph." Cars.com explains, "Linearity, pedal feel and all that are decent, but the main thing is that the brakes are plain strong. The XK stops like a woman passing a shoe store." Finally, the Chicago Sun-Times reports, "Powerful new anti-lock brakes scrub off speed quickly and begin working with the first touch of the pedal."

Hi Guys,
Having just ventured into my first amp and cabs (been using combos until now)
I have a Terror Bass and a OBC 410 plus a OBC 115, am I right in thinking I plug them into the two outlets of the amp and set the amp at 4ohms?
Does anyone see and issue with this set up, I appreciate the OBC115 is a tad small but I thought the variation of speaker sizes might hit the spot
what is the horn switch on the back of the OBC 410 (Hi-Off-Lo)
Cheers Bupton

Is there a guide somewhere showing how to use the Apple TV app for TV Mosaic? I have searched and can't find anything. The app really does not seem intuitive to me, especially when it comes to using the remote control, and how it is supposed to work, and watching recordings.
Before I ask questions or make comments, I would like to say I have seen the app improve since it was originally released, but without having read a wiki or a guide, I am unclear what capabilities currently exist and what are considered enhancement requests.
1) There are basic options are the top, GUIDE, MEDIA LIBRARY, RECORDINGS, SETTINGS, etc. I often find myself getting stuck in one of them (usually the guide area now, but used to also be the Media Library back when I had Vaders) regardless if that is the option I want to be in. Once the spinning wheel begins, you can NOT move to another option, until it finishes whatever it is doing. My guide takes 48 seconds to load 203 visible channels with guide data. So I suppose my question is, am I stuck in GUIDE, for example, for 48 seconds if I accidentally click GUIDE, but actually want to be in RECORDINGS? Is there a way to move around in the app without having to wait?
2) Is it normal to take 48 seconds to load a TV Guide of 203 channels? Seems excessive when you are sitting there watching the circle go round and round. My Nvidia Shield in the Bedroom takes less than 2 seconds to load the same exact guide, for the same exact channels, from the same exact server. Seems like the Apple TV app is the red-headed step child of apps based on my experience using it. It seems way less refined than other Apple TV apps, and a far cry from the way easier to use Android version of TV Mosaic.
3) Once in the TV guide, how do you scroll easily? I seem to end up hours ahead of the current time, just scrolling straight down the guide. While scrolling down one channel at a time, the guide never seems to stay in the current time frame. Let's say it's currently 2:00pm. How do you scroll down while making the cursor to remain in the 2:00pm time area? It seems like the remote is super sensitive and moves right or left when I swear I am scrolling only down. Also I notice that if you scroll down and hit a 2 hour movie, for example, the next scroll down doesn't stay in the current time area, but will jump ahead, and will continue to jump ahead the more channels you scroll through. Am I doing something wrong here?
4) Also in the TV guide while scrolling, what am I hitting on the remote that suddenly scrolling down makes the guide do a "page jump" scroll down, instead of a normal "single scroll" down? I can't figure it out.
5) Watching recordings can be a challenge, as I seem to encounter multiple issues. Is there a 30-second skip or 3-minute skip feature available, and how to do that if so? How about a 10-second or 30-second rewind option? My Android TV box is a simple left or right click for 30 seconds, and right click 6 times for 3 minutes, but Apple TV doesn't seem to work as well or easily, at least that I have figured out anyways. Currently, I click the remove once to pause so that I can move around the recording, but from there the remote seems to be all over the place when you try to move either forwards or backwards.
6) In recordings, there are 3 numbers being displayed at the bottom. Unfortunately, the 3 numbers do not seem like logical choices to be displayed to me (my opinion). The remote seems super sensitive in the app, so a simple swipe left or right, and there is no telling where you actually are in the recording, because the time references on the left and right aren't fixed times. There's a positive number on the left, a negative number on the right, and a very random number in the middle, all 3 constantly changing. Additionally, I do not find that these numbers are consistent across recordings. (often recordings get cut short, but the time still says the full time. Also I see all 0:00's on some recordings) The bigger issue is trying to simply skip commercials or move to a different section of the recording. Best I have determined, the number on the left is where you currently are (generally it should remain 0:00, the beginning of a show), number on the right (negative) is time left (generally it is the length of the program - a fixed number), and number in the middle I assume is where you may end up if you click the remote again. In attempting to skip commercials, I often try to add 3 minutes to the left number to figure out where I need to be, but for the life of me, I can't get the app to that desired time, and once you click play, the number of the left is now different than what it was, and you are not where you want to be, but now that number is different, so getting to a desired place in the recording is tough. Do I need to be ahead of where I am or behind? I have had cable boxes for years, I have used Plex, Kodi, MrMC, and various other programs, but have never had such a difficult time getting around in a recorded show. The reason the 3 numbers do not seem logical to me is that you have no fixed reference on where you are in a recording, as all 3 numbers that are being displayed are continually changing. In the current setup, it seems that there is no fixed frame of reference to look to as a means to navigate through commercials, FF, rewind, etc. Clearly this is more of an observation than a question, but am I missing an understanding of something that would make navigating recordings easier?
7) There is a commercial detection option available in the server as a "send to" section, but if you send a recording somewhere, TV Mosaic can no longer watch it, so how would you watch a show in the app with the commercials detected?
8) How do you make the app display captions? Captions do not ever work for me in the Apple TV app! Not on Live TV, not on recorded shows. I can swipe down on the remote and view the options to display CC1, CC2, CC3, CC4, but for my recordings, it is ALWAYS CC1 that has English captions, and despite that fact that they will display without issue in the Android app, the same exact show will NOT display captions on the Apple TV. Is this a setting issue I have yet to figure out? Does anyone use the Apple TV app and have the ability to view captions? All my other Apple TV apps work perfectly with captions, but not TV Mosaic. Any advice here?
9) Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity of the touch pad on the remote for this app? The Apple TV 4K is my favorite and main box that I use at home, and I use a lot of other apps, but do not experience the same level of difficulty in maneuvering around the app like I do with TV Mosaic. A simple click or swipe and you are often times way off from your desired location. It all seems to come down to the sensitivity of the remote inside the app.
10) Siri integration would be nice to have available. I tell her to FF 3 minutes, but she says "Sorry, I can not do that here". Enhancement request?
Not trying to beat up on the app, or its designer, but my send-to option on my server is currently broken, meaning I am forced to use the TV Mosaic app, and perhaps if I understand how things are meant to work, it would be a better experience.
Thank you!

Re: Apple TV App How-to?
Hi, unfortunately I am not able to help but I support most of your topics.
Especially the sensitivity issue in regards of the remote control. I have no idea if this is app related or just a hardware "feature".
I love my AppleTV but scrolling through the EPG is a real pain in the ass.

As a long term DVBLink and TVMosaic user, I predict no big changes to come to the tvOS platform for TVMosaic.
DVBLink on tvOS stayed the same in the last couple of years, while users requested changes for it and TVMosaic will probably undergo the same treatment...
With that attitude of DVBLogic, users are forced to use other options on the Apple TV like MrMC, Plex or Emby, with the last two not even needing TVMosaic Server, to get Live TV recording options.
PS: Can you add a blank line between the numbered sections for better readability ?

Re: Apple TV App How-to?
Thanks for the replies. I did not anticipate 10 separate items when I started the topic, but each item reminded me of another. I have added a blank line in between each item and bolded a specific question on each topic for brevity and clarity.
I appreciate the information provided. If anyone actually knows that there is an answer to any of these items, it would be appreciated. I find it odd that the Android app feels VERY much easier to use and navigate as compared to the Apple TV, the remote in particular. However even in the Android version, which I have also purchased TV Mosaic server for my Mother to use, and tried to teach her how to use the app, navigation of android isn't particularly intuitive. The app seems written for ease of programming vs ease of use for the end user. Menus are difficult to locate, navigate and illogically placed in Android, but the Apple TV app with that Apple TV 4K remote don't seem to work well together.
I think TV Mosaic is an Excellent product as a server, and I LOVE it over any other that I have used, but truly struggle with using any of the clients.
Thanks again!

SNC Lavalin controversy could contain key to Wilson-Raybould's shortcomings
Feb 11 2019 — Michael Spratt — Canadian Lawyer Mag — Maybe I was wrong all along. Maybe Jody Wilson-Raybould, Canada's former Minister of Justice and Attorney General, was honestly trying to follow through on the government's progressive pre-election justice promises. Maybe the last three-an-a-half years of inaction, bungled justice legislation, and pandering to corporations was all the PMO's doing.
