[Instructors: Download the exercise and key at the end of the post.]
Some of the most common complaints about writing in the workplace involve three sentence structure errors.
A fragment is usually a broken-off part of a sentence. Fragments often can be identified by the words that introduce them–words such as although, as, because, even, except, for example, if, instead of, since, such as, that, which, and when.
Example: Jeremy loaded his résumé with keywords and relevant skills. Which is why he couldn't understand receiving no responses.
Improved: Jeremy loaded his résumé with keywords and relevant skills, which is why he couldn't understand receiving no responses.
Run-on (fused) sentence. A sentence with two independent clauses must be joined by a coordinating conjunction (and, or, nor, but) or by a semicolon. Without a conjunction or a semicolon, a run-on sentence results:
Example: Becca considered an internship she also thought about graduate school.
Improved: Becca considered an internship, but she also thought about graduate school.
Improved: Becca considered an internship; she also thought about graduate school.
Comma splice. When a writer joins (splices together) two independent clauses without using a coordinating conjunction, a comma splice results.
Example: Jeremy disliked networking, however he knew how important it was.
Improved: Jeremy disliked networking; however, he knew how important it was.
Improved: Jeremy disliked networking, but he knew how important it was.
Study the following. Identify fragments, run-ons, and comma splices. For each item write an improved version. If a sentence is correct, write C.
- Jeremy mailed over a hundred beautifully written résumés. Which is why he was depressed when he didn't receive quick responses.
- To come up with a tagline that describes what you do and who you are. Ask yourself questions about what you are really good at.
- Candidates can't anticipate precise questions, however they can expect to be asked about their education, skills, experience, and availability.
- An elevator speech is a pitch you can deliver in 60 seconds it tells who you are and what you can offer.
- Becca hoped to find a job in marketing, however she was willing to consider other offers.
- If possible, call in advance to inquire about what to wear, also ask how to prepare.
- Some job candidates go a step further they prepare professional-looking business cards with their name and tagline.
- In today's challenging and digital job market, the focus is not so much on what you want but on what the employer needs.
- Although you may be changing jobs and careers in the future. You still need to train for a specific career area now.
- Zack saw no value in preparing a résumé at this time. Because he was only a sophomore and searching for a job was a distant and distressing task.
- Employment counselors suggest learning more about careers they recommend taking a summer job, an internship, or a part-time position in your field.
- Having a current résumé makes you look well-organized and professional. If an unexpected employment opportunity should arise.
- With over 50,000 job boards and employment websites deluging the Internet. It's hard to know where to start.
- Early in her academic career, Becca begin monitoring advertisements and websites in her career area, Jeremy preferred to wait.
- Recruiters seem to favor chronological résumés. Which is good because they are easier to write than functional résumés.

Large text document collections are increasingly important in a variety of domains; examples of such collections include news articles, streaming social media, scientific research papers, and digitized literary documents. Existing methods for searching and exploring these collections focus on surface-level matches to user queries, ignoring higher-level thematic structure. Probabilistic topic models are a machine learning technique for finding themes that recur across a corpus, but there has been little work on how they can support end users in exploratory analysis. In this talk I will survey the topic modeling literature and describe our ongoing work on using topic models to support digital humanities research. In the second half of the talk, I will describe TopicViz, an interactive environment that combines traditional search and citation-graph exploration with a dust-and-magnet layout that links documents to the latent themes discovered by the topic model.
This work is in collaboration with:
Polo Chau, Jaegul Choo, Niki Kittur, Chang-Hyun Lee, Lauren Klein, Jarek Rossignac, Haesun Park, Eric P. Xing, and Tina Zhou

Meditation in a psychiatric hospital setting
Meditation in a psychiatric hospital setting
In November, 2016, I visited Eastern State Hospital at the invitation of one of the administrators. She wanted the administration to experience meditation in the hope that meditation could be offered to the staff and patients of the psychiatric hospital. As a former Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, this gave me the opportunity to share my knowledge of meditation in an environment that I was very familiar with.
Eastern State Hospital is one of two inpatient psychiatric hospitals in Eastern Washington State. Eastern State hospital serves 18 counties and was established in 1891 in Medical Lake, a small community 20 miles south of Spokane.
The hospital provides evaluation and inpatient treatment for individuals with serious or long-term mental illness who have been referred to the hospital through the Behavioral Health Organization (which coordinates mental health and substance use treatment services), the civil court system (where individuals have received a civil court order for involuntary treatment), or through the criminal justice system. It has 287 beds including a forensic services unit. This unit serves clients who have been committed to the hospital and includes defendants who are undergoing an inpatient evaluation for competency to stand trial and/or mental state at the time of the criminal offense. This unit also provides treatment for clients who have been found not guilty by reason of insanity.
The second hospital, the Psychiatric Treatment and Recovery Center (PTRC), serves clients who have been civilly committed to the hospital. The center is divided into 3 areas:
- PTRC-EAST; which contains treatment units serving older adult clients.
- PTRC-CENTRAL; which contains treatment units serving adult clients who have been newly admitted and/or continue to experience acute psychotic symptoms.
- PTRC-SOUTH; which contains treatment units serving adult clients who experience more chronic mental illness symptoms.
I met with six of the administrators and led them through a simple body scan and breathing meditation, and concluded with a brief loving-kindness meditation. I described the research initiated by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and prominent neuroscientists that has demonstrated the many benefits of even brief meditation. They experienced the calming result of a short meditation and were open to a discussion about offering meditation to staff and patients. A week later I met with the chaplain who gave me a tour, and we talked about how best to introduce meditation to the facility.
Many of the patients have no family or friends that visit them. Those who are committed by civil court have an average stay of 45 to 60 days and then are released to the community. Others are too ill to be released and live out their lives in the hospital.
I found Eastern State hospital's mission and core values very compatible with the values and worldview of Buddhist practitioners. Their mission is to transform lives by supporting sustainable recovery, independence and wellness.
Their vision: People are healthy, safe, and supported, and taxpayer resources are guarded.
Core values
- Honestly and integrity
- Pursuit of excellence
- Open communication
- Diversity and inclusion
- Commitment to service
- Respect
- Teamwork and collaboration
Recovery Principles
- Hope
- Self-management and autonomy
- Dignity and self-respect
- Tolerance and forgiveness
- Adaptability and capacity to change
- Restoration and personal growth
- Personal responsibility and productivity
- Peer support and community life
- Acceptance and self-awareness
Traditionally, those who are mentally ill are not afforded the resources of other patient populations and as a group are stigmatized in our society. Offering methods to help them cope with severe illness as well as social stigma would be a wonderful opportunity for them. Caring for those who are severely mentally ill is a demanding and stressful job, so teaching staff methods to rebalance and calm themselves would be beneficial. I look forward to teaching staff and patients meditation so that they can experience its many benefits.

Nasdaq's Greifeld Strikes Nerve at DOJ Over NYSE Comments
Nasdaq Chief Robert Greifeld has struck a raw nerve with officials in the Justice Department's anti-trust division over some recent comments suggesting that regulators are likely to give the green light to his proposed takeover of the New York Stock Exchange, the FOX Business Network has learned.
In response, Nasdaq has issued an unusual statement late Wednesday designed to mollify critics at the DOJ, stating that the exchange "is working closely with the Department of Justice," adding that the "NASDAQ OMX makes no comment on the specifics of these discussions or how they are progressing, has received no assurances from the Department of Justice as to the timing or outcome of the review. Comments made by NASDAQ OMX concerning the impact of potential remedies on NASDAQ OMX are based solely upon the views of NASDAQ OMX."
Anti-trust regulators are weighing whether the potential combination of the Nasdaq and the NYSE, the two largest stock exchanges, may violate anti-trust laws since nearly every American company has its stock "listed" to trade on either of the exchanges, thus a combination as envisioned by the Nasdaq might constitute a monopoly.
As reported, the Nasdaq has announced that it intends on making a tender offer to NYSE shareholders to buy the Big Board, and thus break up the NYSE's planned merger with Germany's Deutsche Borse. The Nasdaq is bidding on the NYSE with the Intercontinental Exchange, but the deal would effectively be killed without the DOJ's blessing that it doesn't violate anti-trust laws.
The problem for Greifeld is that earlier in the week he made remarks in a meeting with NYSE shareholders suggesting to some in the room that the DOJ was soon likely to approve the transaction even before it finished its investigation. FBN was first to report that Greifeld and Nasdaq were hoping to soon receive some positive feedback from the DOJ, which would clear the way for them to attempt their bid for the NYSE.
Officials in the Justice Department's anti-trust division have made it no secret that they thought Greifeld's remarks were off base, telling lawyers working on the deal that their decision on the legality of the potential Nasdaq/NYSE combination wasn't complete, and may not be complete until after the NYSE holds a shareholder vote on its planned merger with the Deutsche Borse in July, according to people close to the matter. The Justice Department had no comment on the matter.
Nasdaq officials are hoping for a decision by the Justice Department before the July vote so shareholders know where DOJ stands on the matter. Meanwhile, Nasdaq spokesman Frank DeMaria wouldn't deny that the Nasdaq officials are trying to appease officials at the Justice Department because of Greifeld's recent statements. "We are just trying to ensure the information out there is consistent," DeMaria said. "No comment beyond that."

Tehran's iconic Milad Tower on Monday hosted the largest banking event of the year, which whole-heartedly supported financial technology and innovative solutions to succor an economy centered on a besieged banking system in dire need of reforms.
The Seventh Conference on Electronic Banking and Payment Systems was opened by Ali Divandari, director of the Monetary and Banking Research Institute—the entity in charge of organizing the major event.
A large number of high-level officials, industry players and local and foreign experts are attending the annual event.
Divandari focused on the ever-increasing importance of fintechs and the boons they bring for consumers, as they change the traditional ambience of the banks. "This year's conference is focused on promoting innovation and optimizing efficiency in financial businesses," he said.
Governor of the Central Bank of Iran Valiollah Seif was up next and mainly spoke of the inevitability of financial technology and blockchain innovation. He called on bank executives and board members to develop a comprehensive understanding of the subject.
Communications Minister Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi was another top-tier figure who warned against the detrimental effects of monopoly in payment systems on market expansion, called for financing fledgling businesses and stressed the administration's commitment to combating digital and cyber fraud.
"We have drafted the strategic blueprint of digital economy in collaboration with the ministries of economy and industries, as well as the central bank, which will be submitted to the parliament in a month," he announced.
Jahromi vowed to grant digital economy a bigger role in the government's plans for the fiscal 2018-19 that begins on March 21.
Before the officials convened a panel presided by Divandari, two business representatives, namely Mohammad Mehdi Sadeq, chief executive of Bank Melli's Sadad Informatics Corps, and Milad Jahandar, secretary of Iran's Fitnech Association, addressed the packed conference hall.
Sadeq outlined the six major challenges facing the Iranian payment industry, but Jahandari, who is also the founder of payment app Bahamta, was more confrontational in terms of what ails the fintechs.
"We are not seen and recognized," he emphasized, and called on the telecoms minister to put a stop to the filtering of online businesses as their whole livelihood is disrupted.
Jahromi conceded that online businesses have on occasion found themselves between a rock and a hard place when the judiciary voted to block their activities.
That usually happens when startups are asked to hand in their entire databases for fear of possible criminal wrongdoing by people employing their services, but they naturally decline as their entire competitive advantage rests on that information.
Online businesses were also outraged recently when social media channels were blocked and Internet disconnection reigned for close to two weeks after protests broke out in numerous Iranian cities.
The minister vowed that the issue will continue to pale in significance, as the administration pursues regulatory changes and constructive dialogue.
Central Bank, Digital Banking and Fintechs
Also addressing the conference, CEO of Informatics Services Corporation Seyyed Aboutaleb Najafi urged banks to pick up pace in offering innovative services to stay relevant.
He was followed by Enrico Lucchinetti, leader of European banking practice at Italy's McKinsey & Company who reviewed progress in Europe's digital banking and potentials in Iran.
The keynote speaker of this section, however, was Nasser Hakimi, the head of CBI's Innovative Technologies Department, who outlined the policies of the monetary regulator in financial innovation and technology.
He noted that the central bank has envisioned six documents in three phases, which will provide "regulatory frameworks" rather than rigid regulations to make its stance on fintechs and crpytocurrencies transparent.
Two of them dealing with payment initiators and facilitators have already been published and the rest are to be publicly disclosed by the end of next year's second quarter on Sept. 22 using active feedback from industry players.
Hakimi emphasized that the central bank will not directly exert oversight on fintechs and, as part of its novel outsourcing approach, has bestowed banks with the leeway to decide their relationship with fintechs on a variety of levels.
The annual conference, which also featured an exhibition wherein a host of banks and fintechs established small pavilions, had a number of other roundtable discussions on Europay, Mastercard and Visa technology, open banking and conformity to international standards.
Banking supervision, confidentiality of information, automation systems, anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism laws and global banking trends were also discussed and scientific research articles were presented.
Various workshops were also held on the sidelines of the two-day event.

HTML preprocessors can make writing HTML more powerful or convenient. For instance, Markdown is designed to be easier to write and read for text documents and you could write a loop in Pug.
In CodePen, whatever you write in the HTML editor is what goes within the
 tags in a basic HTML5 template. So you don't have access to higher-up elements like the
 tag. If you want to add classes there that can affect the whole document, this is the place to do it.
In CodePen, whatever you write in the HTML editor is what goes within the
 tags in a basic HTML5 template. If you need things in the
 of the document, put that code here.
The resource you are linking to is using the 'http' protocol, which may not work when the browser is using https.
CSS preprocessors help make authoring CSS easier. All of them offer things like variables and mixins to provide convenient abstractions.
It's a common practice to apply CSS to a page that styles elements such that they are consistent across all browsers. We offer two of the most popular choices: normalize.css and a reset. Or, choose Neither and nothing will be applied.
To get the best cross-browser support, it is a common practice to apply vendor prefixes to CSS properties and values that require them to work. For instance
-webkit- or
We offer two popular choices: Autoprefixer (which processes your CSS server-side) and -prefix-free (which applies prefixes via a script, client-side).
Any URLs added here will be added as
<link>s in order, and before the CSS in the editor. You can use the CSS from another Pen by using its URL and the proper URL extension.
You can apply CSS to your Pen from any stylesheet on the web. Just put a URL to it here and we'll apply it, in the order you have them, before the CSS in the Pen itself.
You can also link to another Pen here (use the
.css URL Extension) and we'll pull the CSS from that Pen and include it. If it's using a matching preprocessor, use the appropriate URL Extension and we'll combine the code before preprocessing, so you can use the linked Pen as a true dependency.
JavaScript preprocessors can help make authoring JavaScript easier and more convenient.
Babel includes JSX processing.

Wooden Side Tables
Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, 2015
- Table top and base: moulded plywood.
- Glides: felt glides.
Wooden Side Tables
In their basic shape and dimensions, the Wooden Side Tables correspond to the Metal Side Tables created for Vitra by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec in 2004. Like the latter, they derive their appeal from the contrast between their gracefully thin table tops and the voluminous plinth-like bases. As a distinctive feature, the plywood table tops are gently moulded around the edges to form a slight lip, which lends them an elegant, almost Japanese aura. The Wooden Side Tables are available in three sizes. Together with the Metal Side Tables and Leather Side Tables, they comprise a family of occasional tables that can be used and combined in myriad ways. With a face veneer in natural oak, dark oak or walnut, they bring an inviting, natural aesthetic to this group – and thanks to the plywood material, they are light and mobile.
Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec
The brothers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec live and work in Paris. Their oeuvre ranges from small everyday objects to architectural projects. They have worked with Vitra since 2000 and have contributed numerous designs to both the office and home collections.

Nordictrack Introduces New Incline Trainer for 2017
If you're eagerly awaiting the new 2017 models from Nordictrack, wondering what fresh new features you'll find (ok, maybe that's just me) I guarantee that you won't be expecting this.
Nordictrack is introducing a new Incline Trainer for 2017 – the X22i.
And the only word is…wow.
(If you want a little more than that you can read the full review here)
The X22i keeps a lot of what makes incline trainers popular: the 40% incline and the 6% decline. There's also the extra long belt and tons of built-in workouts (44 to be exact).
But it blows the other incline treadmills out of the water with the other features:
Massive New 22 inch HD Touch-Screen Console
This is like having a large touch-screen computer/TV in your console. It works with the iFit Coach to show you real life running scenes from Paris to Hawaii and everything in between.
And you can easily see your workout stats with a swipe of your finger.
Take Live Fitness Classes From Your Treadmill
This is just jaw-droppingly cool. You can participate in daily fitness classes led by a professional instructor – with other iFit coach subscribers as well. You see everything on your screen as the instructor takes you through your workout.
iFit Coach Plus Personal Training
With iFit Coach Plus on this trainer, it's like you have your own personal trainer helping you achieve your goals.
You choose from different kinds of workouts to try – from cardio to yoga. There are also different personal trainers to lead you through different workouts, each with their own unique teaching style.
You'll also get custom meal plans based on your fitness goals, as well as a free wearable to track your activity and sleep patterns.
Adjustable Dumbbells
Add some strength training to your workout with the adjustable dumbbells (there's also a stand to store them on beside your treadmill.)
The dumbbells can be easily switched between 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, and 12.5 pounds. So you can start at 2.5 pounds if you're new to upper body training and work up from there.
The iFit coach will also give you ideas and suggestions on which exercises to do with the dumbbells.
Basically the Nordictrack X22i is the ultimate incline trainer. It may be overkill if you're looking for a simple treadmill – but if you want the best incline trainer treadmill with the addition of the personal trainer and customized workout option, this is one to consider.
They are just doing pre orders now for January but I'm guessing this will sell out pretty quickly in the new year.

The Goodwood Festival of Speed is underway and with it comes all the hill climb videos you can handle. Today, Bugatti has uploaded a video of their new Chiron taking on Goodwood.
Bugatti Chiron Specs
- Price: $2.6 million
- Engine: 8.0-liter W16
- Horsepower: 1,500 hp
- 0–62: Under 2.5 seconds
- Top Speed: 260 mph
- Transmission: Seven-speed dual-clutch
- Torque: 1,180 lb-ft
In the videos' description, they note that the Chiron is the "world's most powerful, fastest, most exclusive and most luxurious production super sports car."

It's luxurious interior and stylish exterior is motivated by an 8.0-liter W16 engine that's capable of 1,500 horsepower and 1,180 lb-ft of torque. All of this power makes for one of the most exciting Goodwood runs. Check out the video to see the Chiron's first trip to Goodwood.

The days immediately following Christmas 1906 were bleak across much of Britain, with heavy falls of snow, icy temperatures, strong winds, even thunder and lightning. Much to the disappointment of North East football fans, the Tyne-Wear derby due to be played at Roker Park on Saturday 29th December, was postponed.
Holiday fixtures
Newcastle United's Colin Veitch could be forgiven for secretly welcoming the enforced rest. Footballers in those days faced a punishing schedule over the festive period that would make today's superstars blanch. In the previous week Newcastle had already played three matches. The derby was due to be their fourth in eight days, all away from home, at a time before luxury travel, pristine pitches or squad rotation.
The previous Saturday, 22nd December. Newcastle had played and beaten Manchester United at United's Bank Street ground. Colin had scored a penalty in a 3-1 victory. Veitch's defensive performance in shackling United's best player, Menzies, was singled out for particular praise in the press.
Perhaps the game took a lot out of the Tynesiders because three days later, on Christmas Day, Newcastle travelled to Blackburn where an almost unchanged team (just one of the full backs being replaced) suffered their heaviest defeat of the season, 4-0 in front of a big holiday crowd of 35,000.
And the unrelenting schedule continued the following day, Boxing Day. Snow was already carpeting much of the country but players and fans, not to mention train companies, were clearly made of stern stuff back then and United fulfilled their fixture at Stoke City. There were just two further team changes and Colin played his third game of the week in a 2-1 United victory. The win left the Magpies just two points behind Everton at the top of the league.
New home
Newcastle will have had a long and difficult journey home and, had it not been for the weather, would have played their fourth away game in eight days the next Saturday. Colin Veitch and his wife, Minnie, had recently moved into a new house at 1 Stratford Villas, Heaton, where on September 25th Colin's achievements as a footballer, an actor and a politician will be recognised when the Lord Mayor of Newcastle unveils a commemorative plaque.
We've chosen to highlight this period of Colin's football career because, when carrying out work on their home, the current owners of the Veitches' former house, found a copy of the Evening Chronicle dated 29th December 1906 under the floor boards. It doesn't take too much imagination to guess that instead of sitting with his feet up on his unexpected rest day, Colin had instead found himself crouched under the floor mending a burst pipe. His day would get even worse, championship rivals Everton beat Middlesbrough 5-1.
But Colin and the team soon got back to work. Just two days later on New Years Day 1907, they at last played a home game. A football-starved Newcastle crowd of 30,000 cheered the team to a 2-0 win on an what was by all accounts a quagmire of a pitch. Colin and most of the Newcastle team played their fourth match in eleven days but, luckily for them, it was their opponents Derby County's fifth! Not to be outdone though, Newcastle played a friendly the following day against Corinthians and won 3-0.
Champions again
United lost to Everton later in the month but showed much greater resilience than their rivals over the second half of the season. They won three matches in four days over Easter and on 7 April, when Blackburn beat Everton, the Geordies were confirmed as champions for the second time in three years.
This was undoubtedly the Magpies' golden era: in the eight years between 1904 and 1912, they won the league three times and played in five FA Cup Finals, albeit winning only once.
Not only did Colin Veitch play a leading role in the football team's success, he was also, in 1907, a founder member of the players' union and in 1911, a co-founder and leading actor (and composer) of the People's Theatre. In his spare time, he also wrote for the Evening Chronicle!
Special day
Come to our talk at the Corner House, Heaton on Wednesday 25 September to find out more about Colin Veitch, his part in the history of Newcastle United, the PFA and the People's Theatre – and what his story tells us about the Edwardian era and life in Newcastle and Heaton at that time. Booking is essential as a capacity crowd is expected! Contact firstname.lastname@example.com/ 0191 215 0821 / 07763 985656 to book a place.
The plaque, which will be unveiled earlier in the day, has been made possible by Newcaste City Council, the PFA and private individuals. We're delighted that we'll be joined at both events by members of Colin's family, who are delighted that his achievements are being recognised by the city.

В книге "Freedom climbers" встретился синоним термина fast and light - night naked: "Erhard was a favourite climbing partner for Voytek, the best since Alex and Jurek. But in 1990 on Cho Oyu their friendship was strained to the breaking point. From the beginning, Voytek was pushing to summit Cho Oyu and Shishapangma in quick succession. Erhard and Jean agreed. Their plan was to first acclimatize and then climb each mountain in one push: no tent, no stove and almost no food. Just their clothing and a limited amount of equipment. They came to call their approach "night naked" climbing."

Frama CopenhagenFebruary 14, 2018
Last weekend was a very inspiring day at the Hoxton Hotel: the HoxHowTo design event styled by w/ Style Agency. You may have seen the Frama stools and bench used in our decoration concept. I love this Copenhagen based brand for its natural and detailed designs.
Early January we visited Copenhagen. We had two wonderful but busy days so I was glad we booked an extra day. The morning before we left to the airport we had a few hours for a coffee and delicious lunch in town. Also to visit some stores from our wish list.
The Frama store was definitely one of the highlights. Online I already noticed the impressive wooden laboratory closet, filled with body care products in beautiful bottles. The store space is divided into several smaller rooms and corners. All equally beautiful, it feels more like an exhibition space than a shop. I made several rounds through the space and noticed beautiful new details every round.
Frama Studio operates in various creative fields, like furniture, ceramics, lighting, books and kitchens. They all have in common that they focus on natural materials, simple geometry and a general appreciation of permanency. At home, I am the lucky owner of small - but much appreciated - Frama design: the E27 table light. Made of bronze metal with a black textile cord.
The headquarters and Studio Store is located in central Copenhagen within the historic and protected neighbourhood of Nyboder. Located in a former pharmacy established in 1878. Other Frama Studio Stores are located in Oslo, Stockholm and New York.

Shia LaBeouf is no stranger in making bizarre headlines, and he has seemingly experienced more ups and downs than many other Hollywood celebrities and high-profile experimental performance artists. Now it's reported that Man Down, his latest war thriller, has perhaps broken a record for the least amount of ticket sales in cinematic history.
Wikipedia describes the English city of Burnley as a "market town" — but apparently, residents weren't in the market for the movie star's latest film. It generated a mere £7 (that's slightly less than $9 in US dollars) in ticket sales after premiering this week at the Reel Cinema theater, notes senior film and media editor Brent Lang in a Variety article, which cites global analytics company comScore as a source. That is roughly the equivalent of one ticket sold.
Update – April 5th: Since publication of this story, two more tickets have been sold, according to The Hollywood Reporter, bringing its box office total to $27.
Man Down, directed by Dito Montiel, tells the story of a former soldier dealing with PTSD. The film was released in the US last year and didn't fair much better: it grossed just $454,490. The flick also has a tragically low 15 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Watch the trailer for Man Down below.

Wutchu know about Eric Saade?
Saade is the adorkable Swede who represented his home country in this year's Eurovision Song Contest, placing 3rd overall (Sweden's highest placing since '99!) with the gleefully campy synth-pop fest, "Popular".
Now, the "Manboy" (don't ask, just click) is back for more with "Hearts In The Air (feat. J-Son)."
The single–which just smashed into the Sweden charts at #2 two weeks ago–is Saade's first from his second studio album, Saade Vol. 1, which was just released yesterday.
"Hearts In The Air" kind of sounds like everything Top 40 electro-R&B/pop right now, from Taio Cruz to fellow Swede Darin. It's also a self-empowerment anthem ("Put your hearts in the air / You gotta love being you!"), which is kind of like everything that Top 40 is all about right now, from Katy Perry's "Firework" to Ke$ha's "We R Who We R."
Still, there's a distinctly Swedish, Kleerup-ian kind of electronica undercurrent within "Hearts In The Air" that makes Saade's new single just a cut above the rest of the radio riffraff.
So don't be a fool…put your hearts in the air!
"Hearts In The Air (feat. J-Son)" was released on June 3. (iTunes Sweden)

LISBON – Portuguese police have carried out searches at the offices of the country's Finance Minister Mário Centeno, who this month took over as president of the Eurogroup.
In a short statement sent to POLITICO, the finance ministry confirmed the searches took place Friday. It said the ministry "cooperates openly" with any investigation and will "place at the disposition of the judicial authorities any material requested."
Various media reports said the searches were linked to allegations of favourable tax treatment for a real estate company owned by family members of the president of Lisbon soccer club Benfica.
The reports were not immediately confirmed by the Public Prosecution Service or the ministry.
Centeno has previously denied any involvement in the tax break allegations which first emerged last September in the news magazine Sábado.
A life-long fan of the Benfica club, Centeno faced criticism recently over revelations he requested seats in the presidential box of the club's stadium last year to watch a match with arch rivals FC Porto. Centeno's office said the request was made for security reasons and did not breach a government code of conduct.

Quacks Who Let Their Son Die Have Convictions Overturned On Technicality
In 2012, David and Collet Stephan let their son Ezekiel die by refusing to take him to a hospital after suffered for two weeks with meningitis. When they finally did, he was more or less brain dead.
They were convicted in 2016 and their appeal was dismissed in late 2017. They decided to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada (mostly on various legal technicalities) and now their convictions have been overturned.
They have been granted a new trial. Justice for Ezekiel hangs, yet again, in the balance.
What is the background?
In March 2012, David and Collet Stephan refused to take their son Ezekiel (who had developed meningitis) to the doctor. Instead, they spent two weeks giving him various fake "treatments" based on naturopathy. They deluded themselves into thinking that the fever was merely due to teething instead of realizing that their son was severely ill. Then, everything started to go downhill. Ezekiel had "abnormal breathing where he seemed to be gasping and struggling". Instead of calling an ambulance, they decided to drive him to the hospital themselves. The toddler was declared brain dead a few days after finally arriving to the hospital.
In April 2016, they were convicted of failing to provide the necessaries of life. David was sentenced to four months in prison and Collet got three months of house arrest. She got a more lenient sentence because she made some small efforts to find out what was wrong, while David just bought more supplements. The couple was also required to take their remaining children to see health professionals on a regular basis. They appealed the case. While the case was going through the court system, David continued to sell naturopathic quackery and seemed completely remorseless.
In November 2017, their appeals were dismissed. The parents were fuming with anger and conspiracy theories about government tyranny, basically blaming everyone and every thing besides themselves. They made an attempt to salvage the situation by appealing to the Supreme Court of Canada on legal technicalities. At this point, David started to get booted from different kind of wellness expos because they did not want to collaborate with someone who got convicted for what amounts to taking so poor care of his child that the child died.
In May 2018, The Supreme Court of Canada overturned those convictions and ordered a new trial for David and Collet.

Supreme Court decision
With the possible exception of an appeal by the Crown to get a harder sentence, the legal case should have ended after they had their appeal trial dismissed by the Court of Appeals.
It would have been extremely unlikely that the Supreme Court of Canada would have heard their case. This is because the Court needs to give the people appealing permission to seek an appeal at the highest court in the country. The Supreme Court only hear a small number of cases every year. Their chances would have been minuscule.
If it was not for one tiny legal detail.
The appeal trial was dismissed. However, one of the three appeal judges (Brian O'Ferrall) wrote a dissenting opinion that stated that the Stephan deserved a new trial. Although this may superficially appear inconsequential, this automatically granted them the ability to have the Supreme court of Canada hear their case if they so wanted. Of course, the Stephans had nothing to lose from a legal standpoint, so they submitted an appeal.
On May 15, 2018, they submitted their appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. They requested that the court either overturn the convictions or grant them a new trial. What arguments did their Supreme Court appeal rely on? It turns out that it had nothing to do with the facts of the matter, but instead various legal technicalities. As predicted in a previous article, they heavily relied on the dissenting opinion of O'Ferrall.
The primary argument was that the trial judge did not provide the jury with sufficient instructions related to the charges, what was needed to be proved, the nature and relevance of the evidence, the connection between evidence and legal questions, what was and was not permissible usages of expert testimony, using too complex language and so on.
They second argument was an attempt to revise history. The lawyers for the defense insists that David and Collet are not at all engaged in naturopathic quackery and that the reason they did not take Ezekiel to a doctor was that the symptoms "appeared to be mild and consistent with a typical cold or flu" and that they "were told by a medical professional that she could find nothing wrong with him." In legal terminology, they argued that they did not engage in a "marked departure" from the "standard of a reasonable parent". They also recycle some of the arguments that had been dismissed by the appeal court.
Basically, the Stephans argued that the instructions that the judge presented regarding evidence that the Crown presented were insufficient and too complicated.
The Crown strongly disagreed and made the argument that no errors of the kind the defense lawyers are claiming have been found. This is because even if the charged would have been worded or structured differently does not qualify as a reviewable error. They further argue that strict specification of what necessaries should be provided in what circumstances risks restricting the duties of the jury itself, as this is something that should be determined by the jury itself, not the judge.
Mere minutes after the defendants and the Crown had submitted their material, the Supreme Court of Canada decided to squash the convictions and grant the defendants a new trial. They concluded that the trial judge had conflated two different aspects of the offense and did not properly explain the concept of marked departure to the jury. The decision stated that they "would allow the appeal, quash the convictions and order a new trial".
It is unclear how the Supreme Court justices could reach a well-informed conclusions just minutes after the appeal was submitted. Perhaps they were already read in on the court case. Chief Justice Richard Wagner justifies the speed at which they acted by stating that "The court believes that under the circumstances it was important to deliver a decision as soon as possible".
In 2016, the Crown appealed the sentence in the original trial because it was deemed too lenient. It is currently unclear at what date, if any, the Crown appeal will be held.
David Stephan reacts to decision and media coverage
In a brief interview by CBC news at the steps of the Supreme Court of Canada, David had this to say:
We feel very vindicated. We are extremely grateful. We are grateful, because this is a move in the right direction and we now have the opportunity to bring the whole truth forward. We are just so excited to have the ability to do that and being able to uphold parents rights here in Canada.
What truth does David think was not put forward during the police investigation, the first trial and the appeal trial? No new facts have been presented. No new information that can change the fact that he and his wife let their son Ezekiel die. Instead, this is part of their grand delusions about being oppressed victims of government tyranny. Somehow, they believe that it is their parental rights to deny health care to their son and instead give a deadly ill toddler naturopathic quackery products.
This is further made clear by several Facebook post made by David. Here is the first reaction (cache, cache) to the Supreme Court decision:
Praise be to the Lord God almighty!!
Justice over the errors of our conviction has finally been served, our convictions have been overturned and we now have the opportunity to go back to trial. Even though the idea of enduring 4+ weeks of court is deeply uncomfortable for us, we take comfort in knowing that aside from the medical evidence that is still withheld or destroyed, the whole truth will be established and the tremendous lies surrounding the passing of our son will be exposed. In the light of truth and love, we look forward to exposing this corruption as it will serve to uphold the God given liberties that are paramount in maintaining the sanctity of parents and the family.
May the truth be revealed and may the love of God prevail!
Predictably, he gloats over the fact that the Supreme Court of Canada has granted him and his wife a new trial. More astonishingly, he complains about the uncomfortable nature of going through additional weeks of court proceedings. Their son Ezekiel died because of their quackery and inaction, and David dares to complain about being uncomfortable during court proceedings? The sheer arrogance and ignorance is truly bizarre.
He rants about supposed "medical evidence" that is somehow being "withheld or destroyed". Presumably, he is referring to their faulty suggestion that Ezekiel did not really have meningitis, but merely the cold or the flu. Yet David cannot explain how this produces typical meningitis symptoms or the evidence of meningitis infection presented during the trials. Note that David calls the negligent death of Ezekiel "the passing of our son", completely refusing to take any responsibility whatsoever. This fits well with previous observations that he is completely remorseless.
He continues to complain about supposed government corruption and that this court case is supposedly about upholding the rights of the parents.
David reacts very badly (cache, cache) to press coverage that contains the slightest criticism of him:
Even in less than 1 minute of video, the Mainstream Media's agenda begins to shine through. Notice that even though our conviction was overturned today, they are still referring to us as having been found guilty. Not wrongfully convicted or wrongfully found guilty, but found guilty. And to boot, they are still peddling the lie of Ezekiel dying from bacterial meningitis which was disproven over 2 years ago.
Perhaps the saddest thing about all of this is, is that this is by far the least twisted media piece that I was able to find on the Supreme Courts ruling today. For those who still watch "The News"… I suggest you do yourself a favour and unplug your TV.
David complains that the "Mainstream Media" continues to state that they have been found guilty of failing to provide the necessaries of life instead of being "wrongfully convicted". In reality, it is accurate to state that David and Collet have been found guilty, because they were found to be guilty in two trials. The fact that those convictions have been squashed on legal technicalities does not change this historical fact. Furthermore, being granted a new trial is not the same as being found not guilty due to factual content of the case. These are two different things. David wants people to believe that a court has found him not guilty merely by granting a new trial. This is not how the court system works. He wants to make pronouncement of a court proceeding that has not yet been held before it has even begun. Just because the have gotten a new trial does not mean that this new trial will find they not guilty.
More shockingly, David repeat the distortion that Ezekiel did not die of meningitis like he did in the previous Facebook post. This is a fatally flawed conspiracy theory. The medical evidence is there. Ezekiel had meningitis, not just a cold or a flu. You do not get systematic meningitis symptoms from a cold or a flu. This has never been disproved by the Stephans.
Finally, David repeats the terrible argument that negative press coverage means that the content is "fake". In reality, it is merely press coverage that the Stephans do not like. He also encourages people to stop listening to the media and, presumably, only listen to what he says. In other words, he is discouraging people from getting independent information about the case and only believing what he claims.
What will happen now?
This is a temporary setback for the task of getting real justice for Ezekiel.
The defendants got everything they asked for and more. They asked for their having their convictions overturned or get a new trial, but the Supreme Court of Canada granted them both. They even made their decisions after just a few minutes.
They will have their new trial. This does not mean that they will be found not guilty and set free. Even if the jury instructions are made more clear or otherwise improved to satisfy the defendants, it is unlikely that they will be found not guilty as the evidence is just overwhelming.
Cases like this tend to drag on for multiple years. Debunking Denialism will continue to follow this until the end.

Hi everyone, today I would like to show you a technique that I showed you before but this time I'm using Copic Various Inks instead of the Ranger alcohol inks and I'm applying the inks in a different way. The Various Inks are the Copic refills.
Step 1:
Before you start, protect your work surface, work on a craft sheet of glass work mat. To get my project started I applied three colours of the Copic Various ink to a piece of Yupo paper. The panel is large enough to die cut two panels for my cards from (these panels are two sizes smaller then my card base). Onto these panels I added the alcohol inks, dropping in the inks in a stripy manner (drawing lines with the colours). Then I mixed the colours, maintaining the stripy design, to create a gradient effect, using a felt applicator tool. And to finish my base panel I added some of the contrasting colour on top by stippling with the same felt tip applicator (mainly with the red alcohol ink colour). If you feel the colours don't blend enough then you add some Activator to your felt applicator to move the colour around more easily.
I used Copic Various inks in the colours : Y08, YR18 and R29.
Step 2:
Now I'm die cutting two panels from the created gradient alcohol ink background. These panels are two sizes smaller then my card bases. I temporarily adhere a stencil (for today's project I used The Crafter's Workshop stencils "Tuscan Floral" (TCW774s) and "Scrollwork" (TCW781s)) over one of the panels using removable tape. Then I applied some Activator to my glass work surface and picked it up with a foam applicator tool (in the picture I show the felt applicator but after testing I felt that the foam applicator worked faster) to apply the Activator over the stencil, removing the colour to reveal the stencil design. For a faint design you apply less Activator in the same area and for more contrast you can use more Activator.
Step 3:
Now I'm going to work on the rest of my card design: I stamped two flower images onto Schut Terschelling Glad/Smooth watercolour paper using Versafine "Onyx Black" ink and clear heat embossing afterwards (you have to stamps several times over the same lines, use a stamping tool like a MISTI, and then work fast because the ink will dry fast on this absorbent paper), this way my lines will stay dark and crisp. I used a Gina K Designs stamp set called "Thank you Friend" and a Clearly Besotted stamp set called "Beautiful Friend".
Then I coloured the images using my Daniel Smith watercolour paints: for the Gina K image I used: Quin. Sienna, Quin. Deep Gold, Carmine, Sap Green and Payne's Blue Gray. For the Clearly Besotted image I used: Quin. Sienna, Carmine, Payne's Blue Gray, Quin. Magenta, Quin. Deep Gold, Hooker's Green, Pht. Blue Green Shade and Pht. Green Blue Shade.
I can mix the colours in the metal palette I store my paints in but when I work at home I prefer working on a porcelain plate.
When the colouring was done I added in some highlights using a white Gelly Roll Pen and fussy cut the images out, leaving a small border.
Step 4:
Next I'm working on my sentiment strips: for this I choose vellum and I clear heat embossed over black stamped ink (I prefer Versafine "Onyx Black" for this). My sentiments are from a Clearly Besotted stamp set called "Many Mini Messages" and a Simon Says Stamp stamp set called "Tiny Words". I also created to matching green mats, slightly larger then my alcohol ink background panel.
Now I can put my cards together: I adhered both rectangle panels together using liquid glue. Then I wrapped the sentiment strips around the panels and adhered on the back using regular tape. This combination I adhered to my peach coloured card base using one millimetre thick foam tape and then finished the cards by adhering the flower images on top also using one millimetre thick foam tape.
Some detail pictures:
And that's it for today's project! I wish you a creative day!

Pine Wreath Sneak Peek
I have another sneak peek for you today from Wednesday's One Day Special -
Holly Green Sparkle Texture Paste through the Holly Background Mask onto Rich Red Card. Leaving the mask in place, I sprinkled over some Rich Gold Pixie Powder. I removed the mask and cleaned it under a tap and put my background aside to dry (a couple of hours).
I dusted a piece of Milk Card with an Anti-Static Pad. I stamped the CE Pine Wreath Stamp using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with Forest CS Brilliant Sparkle Embossing Powder. I cut out using die #6 from Sue Wilson's Scalloped Snowflake Frame Die Set. I coloured in a little using Red Star Stardust Pen. I cut die #6 out of Brunswick Green Card and added my stamped die cut on top, offsetting it slightly.
I stamped the sentiment from the CE Santa's Sentiments Stamp Set using Olive Archival. I cut out using die #2 from Sue's Scalloped Snowlake Frame and added it to the centre of my wreath.
Antique Gold Pearl Card and Milk Card.
I cut a pair of pine cones out of Antique Gold Pearl Card and foliage out of Brunswick Green Card using Sue's Pine Cone & Greenery Die Set.
Thanks for stopping by.
Free card with all website orders over £10 (ask for one in the comments box at checkout).

Since 2004 Rey and Bobby Longhurst have produced and sold Sprouted Almonds nationwide. It all started when Bobby (Rey's wife spelled like a boy) had serious health problems. The doctors could not find the problem. She was enrolled in the resident Optimal Health Institute in San Diego for a two week stay to find out what was wrong with her health. One of the foods they fed her was Sprouted Almonds. This specialty food made Rey VERY CURIOUS INDEED! After months of research and product development Rey concluded that this was something the whole world needed to know about. Sprouted Almonds, LLC was born! Rey and Bobby rebranded the company in 2017 under the name Longhurst Farms to include additional sprouted products besides almonds. In 2019 they opened the Nut Factory Retail Store to share their sprouting secrets with the local community in Sheridan, Wyoming and surrounding areas.
Nuts and Seeds have enzyme inhibitors in them. This is why almonds can remain stored for many years. To eat unsprouted almonds is to eat these enzyme inhibitors... which will inhibit the enzymes y-o-u need to digest your food! Sprouting Removes the Enzyme Inhibitors! Nutritionally, you get more "bang-for-your-buck"! Sprouting is one of the most fascinating natural phenomena. From this tiny appendage, a tree is born. It's not surprising that there is exceptional nutritional value locked inside the kernel. Sprouting enlivens the enzymes that are dormant within. These enzymes activate when they come in contact with water, and the nuts are "awakened". The potential growth for each nut is to become a tree, and when we eat Sprouted Almonds® our bodies receive this concentrated vital energy and nutrition. Even more important, sprouting neutralizes enzyme inhibitors present in the nut, allowing quicker and more complete digestion and assimilation of nutrients. Resveratrol – Anti Aging Factor Sprouted Almonds® Brand contains 1.4mg Resveratrol per serving (24 nuts). 1.4mg is equivalent to 3 glasses of Red Wine. Gluten Free! GMO Free! Additive Free! SPROUTED ALMONDS IS A RAW, WHOLE FOOD! Enjoy the absence of that rancid oil after taste associated with oil roasted almonds. We do not roast our Sprouted Almonds®! We dry them! Original Gourmet Sprouted Almonds® are easier on the stomach! Sprouted Almonds® and sprouted seeds are healthier, easier to chew & digest!
