In Attack on Titan, Erwin Smith and Captain Levi are an inseparable duo, the calculating brain and pumping heart of the Survey Corps.

Years earlier, the young Erwin was an ambitious military ladder-climber and political prodigy, while Levi lived in another world under the elite's feet, the Underground. In this place, humans are born and die surrounded by the garbage the Capital throws away, and only the lucky or the ruthless have a chance to emerge onto the surface and see the Sun. Under a fierce exterior, Levi longs for a life of dignity for himself and his friends, while Erwin's lifelong obsession with the Titans drives him to depths of moral ambiguity. The two men's collision course will lead to tension, tragedy, and the greatest team of Titan-fighters humanity will ever know.

Captured by Rod Reiss, the rightful king, Krista and Eren finally have their memories back. What exactly happened to Eren, and what was the crime his father committed? Meanwhile, the Survey Corps desperately hunts for Eren, while at the same time seeking to legitimize their military coup. As the situation inside the walls comes to a head, the mysteries of the world of the Titans seem on the cusp of being solved at last!
Commander Erwin has finally come to a decision: Putting their own wealth and position ahead of the survival of humanity, the royal government is no longer fit to lead. To execute their leader's most audacious plan yet, Eren and Krista will have to put themselves in peril yet again, and Armin, Mikasa, and the rest of the Survey Corps will have to turn from humanity's guardians into traitors. If they fail this time, they'll face not a Titan's gaping mouth, but the gallows…
Hange's interrogation of a Military Police squad has revealed that Krista (a.k.a. Historia Reiss) is the true heir to the throne. The Corps quickly moves to enthrone her as queen, but a homicidal MP leads a squad that abducts Eren and Krista and throws the Corps into disarray. With Erwin arrested and the Survey Corps on the edge of dissolution, are Levi and Hange finally out of options?
At great cost to the Garrison and the Survey Corps, Commander Erwin has managed to recover Eren from the Titans who tried to carry him off. But during the battle, Eren manifested yet another power he doesn't understand. As Eren and Krista find new enemies, the Survey Corps faces threats from both inside and outside the walls. And what will happen to Ymir, now that she has decided to make herself the Titans' prize?
Erwin and the Survey Corps desperately mount a rescue operation to take Eren back from the Colossus Titan and Armored Titan. But without the numbers to form up properly outside the walls, how can the humans catch up before they're all slaughtered? Just whose side is Ymir on? And will Eren ever see his friends again?

The Survey Corps sets a cunning trap to capture the mysterious Abnormal Titan that broke through their ranks. As Armin tries to determine the grotesque creature's identity and purpose, scouts report Titans closing in on all sides! But they don't seem to be after the humans – instead they're targeting the Titan!
On the way to Eren's home, deep in Titan territory, the Survey Corps ranks are broken by a charge led by a female Titan! But this Abnormal is different – she kills not to eat but to protect herself, and she seems to be looking for someone. Armin comes to a shocking conclusion: She's a human in a Titan's body, just like Eren!
Thanks to Eren, humanity has taken the town of Trost back from the Titans. Exhausted, Eren falls into a coma for three days – and wakes in shackles, staring at Erwin Smith, leader of the Survey Corps. Certain that Eren's father's research holds the key to the mystery of the Titans' rise, Smith wants an expedition to retrieve it from the house where Eren grew up. But that's deep in Titan territory, and to get there Eren will need to master a power he still doesn't fully understand…
The Survey Corps develop a risky gambit – have Eren in Titan form attempt to repair Wall Rose, reclaiming human territory from the monsters for the first time in a century. But Titan-Eren's self-control is far from perfect, and when he goes on a rampage, not even Armin can stop him! With the survival of humanity on his massive shoulders, will Eren be able to return to his senses, or will he lose himself forever?
The last thing Eren remembers before blacking out, a Titan had bitten off his arm and leg and was getting ready to eat him alive. Much to his surprise he wakes up without a scratch on him, with a crowd of angry soldiers screaming for his blood. What strange new power has he awakened, and what will happen when the boy devoted to destroying the Titans becomes one himself?

Saturday night Cicero, IL had a fire in a 3-flat apartment building at 2120 s 59th Ave. Crews did a great job and knocked it pretty quick. In total I believe they had 4 lines lead out and the main from Truck 1 was up to the roof.

2-Alarm fire 2130 hours 4/17/19 at 141 West Grand Lake Blvd in West Chicago, IL. One man was rescued and later died in the hospital. One resident died at the scene.
Sunday night (3/31/19), the Chicago's MFAO sent companies to a working fire @ 3104 W. Monroe Street. Upon arrival, Battalion 18 had a 3-sty brick, with heavy fire on the first, second, and third floors plus an exposure problem. A Still and Box was requested shortly after. Companies lead out 6+ hand lines and had two truck companies working the roof. For a short time, they had heavy fire venting through the roof and top floor. While working, multiple members fell through a hole in the floor which activated the Mayday Alert and 2-11. I believe the RIT team did remove one of the injured firefighters from the rear of building. Tough fire and a lot of work. Thankfully the injuries sustained were not life threatening. These photos began about 10 minutes into the fire.
Kitchener Ontario fire dispatch received a call for a basement fire at 603 Mill Park Drive at 1:40 February 15, 2019. P6, P1, A1, R1, and Car 23 were dispatched to the call. P6 arrived on scene and reported they had smoke showing and a 360 showed they had a fire in the basement. Command reported all five students in the basement were out of the house and that the owner of the house was out of town.
Station 7 was added to the call, they were running in the tanker for the shift. Multiple lines were pulled into the building. Crews encountered a very cluttered house, full of furniture on every floor and even the garage was full of furniture which prevented access as it was so full. There were three pianos in the bedrooms on the second floor and an organ in the living room which was not accessible due to all of the furniture.
Firefighters were pulled from the basement due to untenable conditions, and the first floor became well involved minutes later. It was not long before the entire building was alight. Two hydrants were picked up to feed the pumper and aerial. Small and large lines as well as an aerial master stream were used to fight the fire.
Due to the tremendous amount of furniture in the house, it took hours to knock the bulk of the fire down. The day shift replaced the tired crews, and worked till 12:30 to fully extinguish all the spot fires. Due to the severe damage in the house, all overhaul had to be done from outside. Crews even pulled a cellar piercing applicator to use on hot spots. That is the first time I have seen this tool used in 31 years on the canteen. Damage has been set at $800,000, cause has not been determined yet. Box 690 provided breakfast and lunch at the fire. Photos and videos shot 35 minutes into the fire.

The Orchid Highway The Orchid Highway
Published Aug 19, 2008Its hard to believe that it has taken Vancouvers the Orchid Highway more than a decade to get around to releasing their first album. The upside is that such an experienced band have produced an accomplished, polished debut that delivers on most of their promise. Like the majority of Rainbow Quartzs roster, the Orchid Highway are mining the rich vein of power pop that has produced the likes of Big Star and the Posies. When they get it right, like on "Sofa Surfer Girl or "Legion Hall, their songs could quite happily stand up against anything that Jellyfish offered during their brief career. Yet there are other moments that recycle musical and lyrical clichés, creating something so completely derivative that its hard to know just how firmly their tongues are planted in their cheeks. The best moments are the slower, more psychedelic-sounding songs because their rockier moments veer into that imitative territory. On the whole, this is a convincing retro-sounding record that has more highlights than lowlights. (Rainbow Quartz)

Sen. Chris Murphy: The NCAA 'Routinely Defrauds' Athletes Out Of Real Educations
Major college athletic programs are failing in their promise to deliver athletes a quality education and "routinely defraud athletes of the tremendous value" a college scholarship holds, a U.S. senator said in a new report issued Thursday morning.
"The lack of academic integrity across college sports may be the most insidious piece of a broken system," Sen. Chris Murphy wrote in the report that challenges the NCAA over its measurement of graduation rates and its failure to graduate athletes at rates similar to those of other students.
Murphy, a Connecticut Democrat, released a scathing report about the NCAA and major college athletics in March. That report called for paying college athletes ? especially those in sports like football and men's basketball that help generate millions of dollars in revenue for universities and their athletic departments.
In the subsequent report released Thursday morning, Murphy targeted one of the most enduring myths of college athletics: that the college scholarship and supposed "free education" athletes receive in exchange for their labor means they are adequately compensated. In reality, Murphy's report argues, the NCAA's member schools are providing inadequate educational opportunities, and too few athletes are graduating with a quality degree ? or any degree at all.
"The NCAA's primary response to my first report was that students are compensated, in their opinion. They believe that scholarship is adequate compensation for all of the time students put in and all the money they make for the system," Murphy told HuffPost. "But there are a lot of students who are in the big time college programs where schools are treating them like commodities and not giving them the education that they deserve."
"You're obligated at these big kinds of college sport programs to be an athlete first, second and third, and a student fourth," Murphy said. "It's a bit of a red herring for the NCAA to say that a scholarship is enough compensation when a lot of these kids aren't graduating and many others aren't getting an education that is commensurate to their peers'."
Murphy's report cites a number of common criticisms of the education athletes receive, as well as high-profile academic fraud scandals like the one that rocked the University of North Carolina. But it takes particular aim at NCAA schools' failure to graduate athletes, and targets the organization's method of calculating athletes' graduation rates, which the report calls "both incomplete and misleading."
The NCAA has touted its success in graduating athletes ? and anyone who tunes in to even a few minutes of the annual NCAA men's basketball tournament is familiar with its commercials that claim most of its athletes "go pro in something other than sports."
In recent years, the organization has celebrated its progress in increasing the percentage of students who graduate, which the NCAA measures with its own metric called the Graduation Success Rate. It developed that metric in 2002 in part to account for the high rate of athletes who transfer to different schools during their collegiate careers ? an issue the federal government's statistics are ill-equipped to measure.
But the Graduation Success Rate, Murphy said, inflates schools' success because it credits them when an athlete transfers in good academic standing - but sometimes fails to track them to their next school. From 2006 to 2009, Murphy said in the report, more than 23,000 athletes transferred while in good standing (and, as a result, were excluded from graduation rates). But the NCAA only accounted for the roughly 8,000 of those students who went on to enroll in different schools - so 15,000 individuals, the report states, "went missing," meaning they dropped out or didn't return as athletes and are thus unaccounted for.
"These athletes did not graduate, but the numbers account for them as if they did — painting an inflated picture of academic success," the report says.
"The way that the federal government traditionally measures graduation rates, schools are held accountable for those who drop out," Murphy said. "But [the NCAA] has rigged their own measure of graduation, so that if a kid potentially drops out of the program, nobody's responsible for that kid. And that's not measured in the dozens. As we showed in this report, there are thousands of kids who have dropped out of school who were playing sports, but weren't counted when it comes to graduation rates."
In his initial report, Murphy called the fight to fairly compensate college athletes a "civil rights issue" because the majority of athletes in major college men's basketball and football are black. He views the academic situation similarly, he said, and his report argues that the system is especially failing black athletes.
The NCAA has said that its black athletes graduate at higher rates than black students overall, but the report cites other studies calling that into question. The graduation rate for black male athletes at schools in the NCAA's biggest five conferences, the report says, is 5 percent lower than the rate for black male undergraduates overall. It is also 14 percent lower than the rate for all athletes and 21 percent lower than the rate for all college students.
Black male basketball and football players are even worse off: Their graduation rates are 22 percent and 35 percent lower, respectively, than those of the general student population, the report says, citing other studies.
"Black athletes are graduating at abysmal rates compared to their peers. And when you layer upon the graduation rate injustice, the fact that none of these kids are getting compensated, and all the largely white adults surrounding them are, it's a civil rights issue," Murphy said. "The NCAA says, 'Don't worry about the fact that all the adults are getting rich and the kids aren't because the kids are getting an education. So it's not a civil rights issue because we're giving these kids, many of those African American athletes, an education.'
"Well, in many cases you aren't ... giving these kids an education, which just exacerbates the civil rights issue."
Even if they graduate, athletes often receive inadequate educations, the report argues, citing testimony from multiple former athletes. Athletes, the former players said, are sometimes forced into classes they don't want to take and majors they don't want to do, advisers often do their schoolwork for them, and their education often takes a backseat to their true purpose on campus: to play sports.
"The whole time ... I felt stuck — stuck in football, stuck in my major," Stephen Cline, a former defensive lineman for Kansas State University, said in the report. Cline, according to the report, wanted to become a veterinarian but was pushed into a "less demanding major" so he could concentrate on football. "Now I look back and say, 'Well what did I really go to college for?' Crap classes you won't use the rest of your life? I was majoring in football."
The NCAA has faced numerous challenges to its "amateur" model in recent years, in the form of federal lawsuits, state legislative pushes, efforts to form new leagues, and ill-fated attempts to form labor unions for college athletes.
Those challenges have fostered the belief among many advocates that the NCAA is losing the battle to keep its exploitative system in place, and Murphy hopes his scrutiny of major college sports will bring more public attention to the current system's shortcomings.
But while he will continue to scrutinize the NCAA, Murphy also said Thursday's report puts more of a burden on major colleges and universities than the organization itself.
"The first report is about money, and schools can't make the decisions by themselves to compensate kids. That'd be an NCAA decision," Murphy said. "But every school can make the decision to get more serious about academics. Every school can look at the amount of time that their football athletes are spending on athletic activities versus school activities and shift that balance. I hope that this report, if it gets some attention, will cause some individual schools to take a look at their own policies."

Hi, Project Ed Bear family,
Twisted Tiffany, our annual event dubbed the "ultimate ladies day" that funds our college scholarship program, is shifting a bit in 2019— and we need your help.
Project Ed Bear is led by its fearless and dedicated (full-time volunteer!) founder Susan. If you've had the privilege of meeting Susan, you know the light she brings to the Project Ed Bear children fighting cancer, as well as their families and our community of supporters.
A few weeks ago, Susan's mom received a lung cancer diagnosis, and true to the family's spirit, she's braving the diagnosis and fighting hard. Since getting the news, Susan hasn't missed a doctor's appointment with her mom, all while maintaining this incredible Project Ed Bear community.
Wanting to ensure her Project Ed Bear children and her mother are taken care of, Twisted Tiffany is the ONLY event that is changing this year.
Instead of planning a large event, selling tickets, getting raffle items— we're asking you to host your own small Project Ed Bear event with your own girlfriends— and help us raise the necessary funds for our college scholarship program.
Here's how you can participate:
On the last weekend of April, Saturday, April 27 or Sunday, April 28, get a group of your closest friends together.
Have brunch or a tea-time themed lunch, and talk to them a bit about Project Ed Bear and the power that it brings to this community. Then, ask for a donation!
During your own girls time, please send photos to our team at firstname.lastname@example.com or tag us on Facebook (@ProjectEdBear)!
Any photos we see, we will share on our page to celebrate you and your group.
Once you have your group together, please let us know. The college scholarship program is a vital part of our organization and has been helping since 2008 to provide childhood cancer patients, a college scholarship.
Any child who's been treated at Akron Children's Hospital Oncology Unity since the inception of Project Ed Bear is eligible for the scholarship as long as they have been accepted into an accredited school.
Thank you for all you do!
Kat Pestian, Project Ed Bear Advocate + Friend

I believe "The Incredible Melting Man" craze was over within two days of its release! I think it lasted just one week at that Patterson theater-- not that I was looking to go see it again, mind you.No, "The Deep" was PG, though just barely. They were really trying to push TIMM as the first modern horror movie icon, but the R rating and limited release in grindhouses and drive-ins meant not too many kids actually saw it. With "Halloween" and "Friday the 13th" waiting in the wings, we didn't have to wait too long for the first true modern horror icons.
That Melting Man makeup kit by Imagineering is crazy rare. The only one I've ever seen was a few years ago on ebay and it was sealed and went for several hundred bucks.....larry
I'd love to have the Imagineering Incredible Melting Man kit. I figured it was probably a bag of cotton balls and some tubes of goop, but I always wondered if it might be more like The Face kits, with foam rubber appliances. It's interesting to know what was really inside that box! Someday I will have one.In the meantime, I have a couple other cool Incredible Melting Man items.Here is the Collegeville costume. This picture was taken at Mask-Fest 2010. I think it was the second time we'd had it in the UMA display, but this was the first picture I found.very cool. Do you have any picks of the costume piece it self? wasn't the other topstone mask "The Horrible Melting Man?" lol!This is the Topstone rubber mask.Note that Topstone made another "melting man" mask in the 1950s, but that has no connection to the 70s movie monster. I think some people get them confused when talking about Topstone masks.
It came in a large, swell box, though.
A Bit of trivia for you.I actually had the license to produce the Incredible Melting Man back in 1981. That was before Topstone. I wanted to make the version similar to the Topstone but my partner made me make the extreme melted version.Here's the only surviving copy.

Locksmith The Woodlands, Tx – What type of deadbolt do I need on my door?
When securing your door a deadbolt lock is without question the safest way to go. Deadbolts offer important supplemental protection to your basic key-in-knob locks, which are mostly spring-latch locks. As the name suggests, these locks merely hold the latch in place with a spring. If enough force is applied to the latch it will retract. Most of us have some experience or observation of this fact. Have you ever used a butter knife or credit card to open a locked door? This is impossible with a deadbolt lock as the spring mechanism is absent. What follows is information about 3 common residential deadbolt configurations.
1. Single Cylinder Deadbolt
In all probability this is the most common deadbolt type. It is mounted inside the door and has a thumb-turn in the interior and key cylinder on the exterior of the door's face. This hardware is primarily intended for use on a door absent of a window. Either a window in the door itself or one immediately adjacent to the door.
2. Double Cylinder Deadbolt
The difference between the single cylinder and the double is that there is no thumb-turn, instead, the interior as well as the exterior have a key cylinder. A key is always needed to open unlock or lock the door whether you're inside or outside the residence. The advantage to this is that if there is glass in or near your doorframe. If the glass is broken by a perspective intruder, they can't simply reach in and use the thumb-turn to unlock the door. The criticism of this style deadbolt is that if you had to leave your residence in a case of emergency, a fire for example, it can take up valuable time to find and use the necessary key for exit. Double cylinder deadbolts are usually against state law for residential rental property use.
3. One-Sided or "Keyless" Deadbolt
Also known as a "night lock". This lock is also mounted on the inside of the door. It has no keyhole on the outside of the door. All the resident has to interact with is the interior thumb-turn. This lock can only be activated from the interior of the residence. In some states, it is unlawful for a rental property to be without this hardware. In the vast majority of cases, this deadbolt is used in conjunction with a single cylinder deadbolt. Here is a short video we made to show you these 3 types of deadbolt configurations.
Your locksmith can advise you on which configuration of deadbolt lock would work best in your situation.

Red Velvet Hot Chocolate
Red Velvet Hot Chocolate is luxurious and rich, topped with a dollop of whipped cream, and the perfect holiday treat.
During this holiday season, a cup of warm hot chocolate drink will go a long way. If you prefer a cider, I have a great Slow Cooker Apple Cider recipe, that will make your day more enjoyable!
Red Velvet Hot Chocolate
This Red Velvet Hot Chocolate is my favorite drink of the holiday season. In my opinion this is definitely the drink that you should make this holiday season. It will make your house smell amazing and there is nothing better than a cup of warm, hot chocolate during cold, windy days! The Hot Chocolate is very flavorful and it's so easy to make, that you will never go back to store bought. Fresh, rich and delicious, this is the perfect comfort drink to have.
Why You'll Love This Red Velvet Hot Chocolate:
- It's creamy and luxurious, also very easy to make.
- The hot chocolate has a gorgeous red color that is very festive.
- It would make an amazing holiday treat and it's perfect for Valentine's day.
- Rich and full of flavor it is a hit with children and adults.
- Tastes delicious when served with whipped cream or toasted marshmallows.
Red Velvet Hot Chocolate Recipe Tips:
- Use high quality unsweetened cocoa powder. Also high quality chocolate, as the chocolate flavor is front and center here.
- The food coloring is optional, but obviously if you want your chocolate red you have to use some. I highly recommend using gel food color as it's more concentrated and you will use less.
- If you are wondering why the recipes asks for vanilla extract, its because a little vanilla flavor will make the chocolate flavor even more prominent.
- Serve with whipped cream or toasted marshmallows.
Follow Sweet and Savory Meals on Pinterest for more great recipes!
Tools/Ingredients I used to make this Red Velvet Hot Chocolate Recipe:
- Unsweetened Cocoa Powder – delicious flavor, it will make any chocolate dessert amazing
- Dark Chocolate Melts/Wafers – I love using these for chocolate ganache and any other recipes that ask for melted chocolate
- Gel Food Coloring – this set comes in a variety of colors and it won't add extra water
Prep time: 7 minutes Cook time: 5 minutes Total time: 12 mins
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate (chopped)
- 1 1/2 red food coloring
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whipped Cream:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon red sand sugar
- In a medium sauce pan heat the milk and cream over medium heat.
- Whisk in the chopped chocolate and stir until fully melted.
- Stir in the red food coloring and the vanilla extract. Add more food coloring if needed, until you get the red you are looking for.
- In a mixer bowl, whip the cream with the sugar and vanilla extract.
- Serve the hot chocolate topped with whip per cream and sprinkle with red sand sugar.

The final leading article : As for me, God knows I tried
The final leading article from Lasantha Wickrematunga
No other profession calls on its practitioners to lay down their lives for their art save the armed forces and, in Sri Lanka, journalism.
Countless journalists have been harassed, threatened and killed. It has been my honour to belong to all those categories and now especially the last.
Why then do we do it? I often wonder that. After all, I too am a husband, and the father of three wonderful children. I too have responsibilities and obligations that transcend my profession, be it the law or journalism. Is it worth the risk? Many people tell me it is not . . . But there is a calling that is yet above high office, fame, lucre and security. It is the call of conscience.

DFM solidarity actions. Show your news!
Tomorrow's DFM workers solidarity action marks the three-month countdown to contract negotiations in 12 Guild bargaining units nationwide. Join us!
DFM Caucus begins six-month countdown to contract talks
Alden Global Capital founder Randall Smith recently sold one of his many Palm Beach mansions for $5.5 million, according to the Palm Beach Daily News. The $1.9 million profit on the sale – purchased in a mansion-buying binge that began in 2013, after Alden became majority owner of DFM – would cover an annual raise of more than $3,900 for the 487 Guild-represented employees at 12 DFM newspapers nationwide.
Hugely profitable DFM refuses to increase workers' pay
For Alden Global Capital, $160 million in profits is not enough. Management for Digital First Media, speaking for its corporate masters at the New York vulture fund, rejected a modified wage proposal Thursday by the unions that comprise the DFM Caucus during wage negotiations in Philadelphia.
DFM workers deserve share of Company's huge profits
Union representatives will press management to increase the pay of workers at Digital First Media newspapers nationwide when wage negotiations resume on October 11 in Philadelphia. The message will be simple: Our award-winning employees deserve their share of the massive profits that DFM is earning from their work. Most DFM employees only have received one raise in 10 years.
ASL unit in Denver fights for contract talks in Denver
Union leaders representing the Denver Call Center served notice on Purple/ZVRS management this week of our intention to move our ongoing talks for a new labor agreement to Denver. The company — recently found guilty of multiple violations of federal labor law — threatened to file even more time-consuming legal appeals to keep that from happening.
DFM workers: We fight on
Top executives at the hedge fund that owns Digital First Media must have felt terrible that employees at the newspaper company weren't getting any raises in 2017. So they did something about it. They gave themselves a raise.
Tentative agreement on new contract at Chronicle
After 14 months of negotiations, the Chronicle and the Pacific Media Workers Guild on Wednesday reached tentative agreement on a four-year labor contract that offers an average annual merit-based pay raise of 2 percent and – for the first time – a 401(k) employer contribution and match of up to 2.5 percent of annual salary.
Highly profitable DFM again refuses to offer pay increase
DFM management came to a bargaining session empty-handed, telling a national coalition of NewsGuild representatives that the company's hedge fund ownership intends to keep employee pay frozen companywide to help maintain its profits. Alden Global Capital, principal owner of Digital First Media, has earned worldwide notoriety for its ruthless staff cuts and double-digit profit margins. The ongoing damage to newsrooms across the country has triggered protests from New York to Denver to the Bay Area.
Honolulu Star-Advertiser Workers Ratify Contract
An overwhelming majority of the 63 unionized workers in the Honolulu Star-Advertiser newsroom voted on April 25 to ratify a five-year contract with owner Oahu Publications Inc.

World Resources Institute: Plastic Is Your Frenemy
Before plastics became nature's enemy, they were meant to be nature's friend.
Created in 1869 as a substitute for the ivory in billiard balls, the first primitive synthetic plastic was hailed as the savior of the elephant and a replacement for wood, metal, stone, bone, tusk, and horn. According to the Science History Institute, plastics were then seen as a way to protect the natural world from "the destructive forces of human need."

Apollo 11: An Astonishing Journey Through The Heavens
Edited, produced, and directed by Todd Douglas Miller, Apollo 11 seeks to take us up close and personal to the last greatest feat in human achievement, the 1969 mission to put a man on the moon. Consisting solely of archival footage, including 70 mm film that was previously unreleased to the public, this documentary will have you feeling absolutely awestruck and inspired.
Apollo 11 is a cinematic space event film fifty years in the making, featuring never-before-seen large-format film footage of one of humanity's greatest accomplishments. The documentary provides a look at the Apollo 11 mission to land on the moon led by commander Neil Armstrong and pilots Buzz Aldrin & Michael Collins.
How will we ever manage to top the moon landing? It's been 50 years, and we still haven't managed to even come close to that kind of grand display of accomplishment, one which marked "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." The event captured the attention of the entire world, effectively ending the Space Race and fulfilling a national goal proposed in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy: "before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth." All of us probably know the story of the moon landing — it's been taught in every history class and is the topic of countless documentaries and conspiracies over the years — but very few of us were alive to witness it, and even in the off chance that we were alive at the time of the moon landing, it's highly probably we didn't get the chance to see it like this.
Apollo 11 doesn't add any new facts or aspects to Man's journey to the moon, but it does offer a never-before-seen, close-up glimpse into the interior of the mission, from the cosmos to mission control. It's very clean and smoothly stitched together, making good use of split-screen to give the journey more jet propulsion, and it's accompanied by a perfectly synced score by Matt Morton consisting of droning synth, steady, driving minimal beats, and fragments of delicate piano, giving the film a sense of tension, suspense, awe, inspiration, and the fluttering sensation of nervous excitement.
I really like how Miller didn't bother with shoehorning a narrative or diving into characters, all of which we pretty much know. It just sticks to the mission, and it does a very effective job of showing the massive breadth of the operation, full of multitudes or intelligent and driven individuals. By opting to not dive into the story, it allows the viewer an ample amount of time to soak in the imagery and reflect on Man's most audacious leap forward, the height of human innovation.
The 70mm footage is GORGEOUS. Whomever shot the launch and control room footage truly had a cinematic eye. The colors pop. The level of detail is fine. You can see the pores of the moon just as you can the pores of the astronauts. It's not always 100% captivating though. The flight through space in particular is a bit of a drag, but it opens fiercely and finishes strong.
Overall, Apollo 11 won't tell you anything you don't already know, but it will make you feel the event on a visceral level and see it with fresh perspective. My one true hope is that the film finally puts to bed the conspiracy theorists because it serves as fairly definitive evidence of the hard work many individuals put in to make this a reality. Skeptic or not, everyone should give it chance.
Recommendation: Definitely check it out in theaters if possible, but if you miss it, it'll be screening in high school history classes from now until eternity.
Rating: 3.5 giant leaps outta 5.
What do you think? We you blown away by Apollo 11? Was it too slow or boring? We want to know. Share your thoughts and feelings in the comments section below, and as always, remember to viddy well!

|Re: Prevayle-based StorageController for GDataServer
|Tue, 15 Aug 2006 10:23:43 GMT
No not yet, the storage implementation are still in heavy development, but I had a look at the prevayle api as well. If you are interested in building such a storage layer we can set up a plan together to integrate this as a storage for gdata server. I thought a while about the storage topic and couldn't find a "really good" solution for providing a fast and distributable solution. I don't know much about Prevayler but you have to be careful about using the same entry/feed object instance for multiple feeds. Currently the server created dynamic feed / entry elements per request. That mean the server does not store the entry link element in the storage, this will be created at request time to calculate the current request URL as the self and edit link. This is a kind of a problem if you use a cache or a persistence layer sharing object instances. I might change that to dynamic context element, this will be configurable in the XML file. This still keeps the server flexible to move it on other domains an solves the caching db / problem. Are you interested in contributing you development to the server at all? best regards Simon If you need any information about the internals you just ping the mailinglist.

Is there anyway to control the occurrence rate of the IRQ Receive Interrupt where the CRC is NOT valid. Is there some hidden register to control this spurious Receive Interrupt. I see this on the SARD card hardware with the latest SMAC code. I see this same rate of occurrence on other hardware designs even when I put the MC13192 based Hardware into an RF chamber... NO outside 2.4G Band Signals.
This interrupt happens randomly sometimes 2 or 3 times in 5 a second window.

Conjecture that there is a solution for all n > 24. See A090460 for a count of the number of essentially different solutions.
It is now known that 25..299 are in the sequence, see the Numberphile 2 link. - Jud McCranie, Jan 11 2018
Every 25 <= n <= 2^20 is in the sequence and (71*25^k-1)/2 is also in the sequence for every k, hence this sequence is infinite, see Mersenneforum link for the proof, we give Hamiltonian cycle for these n values if n >= 32. - Robert Gerbicz, Jan 17 2017

The third film in a series, Rings continues to the story begun in The Ring- When a person watches the haunted video tape they will receive a phone call stating that they will die in "seven days". The caller is Samara, a mysterious young girl who was murdered years ago and is currently haunting the video. SPOILER ALERT: The first film establishes that one can rid themselves of the curse by making a copy and passing it on to another before the seven days are up.
The third film picks up a little over a decade later when a college professor comes across the tape and starts the curse into motion on a new scale. Rather than seeing the tape as a "curse," the professor decides to experiment with the idea of life after death and engages in a mass experiment with the student body. One person watches the tape, another person tails behind them, going on in a pyramid scheme that encourages the students to refer to themselves as "The Sevens". And the tape eventually finds it's way to the eyes of Holt, whose girlfriend will do anything to save him. And anything inludes watching the tape….
So here's what I find interesting: the film continues to push the narrative of the first, but Samara's presence shouldn't be the only point in spreading this curse. There should be an endgame and this film finally addresses the possibility of that endpoint when our lead is unable to create a new duplicate. More images have appeared in the video code, images meant for her alone. And those images send her and Holt on another journey of their own…
"Rings" is not a reinvention of the wheel and makes a few stumbling missteps along the way, but it is largely an enjoyable film. There's been a pretty big backlash from the horror community and reviews, panning the film on a number of faults. I, however, had a nice time watching the film and enjoyed myself immensely. While it won't crack my top ten of the year, I can definitely see myself purchasing the blu-ray when it's released.
6.5 out of 10 and a mild recommend. See it in the theaters.

Sixty seven years running the same shop in the same location is no easy feat. With the rise of global chain stores over the past couple of decades, a large number of independent mom and pop shops in so many countries have fallen victim to the march of globalisation. Japan has not been immune to this, with so many suburban, and now inner-city, station fronts afflicted with the same department store chains and fast-food shops, making it at times difficult to distinguish one station from another.
And yet in the midst of this blur of identikit shopping centers suiting all income levels, the Japanese shoutengai (neighborhood shopping street) survives against enormous odds, often full of family run stores that pre-date World War II. Japan's post-war economic miracle is known worldwide, with its automotive, electronic and finance industries bringing prosperity to much of the population. Much less well known outside Japan are these local traders, shopkeepers and craftsmen who have been the lifeblood of residential communities around the country.
The tai-yaki/sweets shop is an integral part of every older Japanese neighborhood, selling not only the tasty fried tai-yaki cakes but all sorts of biscuits, candies, packaged sweets and in the summer, kaki-gori (shaved ice snow cones). Like candy stores anywhere it's a magnet for the area kids in spring and summer.
Mr. Tomio's tai-yaki/candy store has been open at the same spot for 67 years on Akebono Shopping St in an old, working class fisherman's neighborhood in the north part of Yokohama. Now 85 years old, Tomio-san first took over the shop when in 1950 when he was 18. He survived the war as a teenager and in the very tough years post-1945 he was one of a generation of Japanese young men struggling to make a living. His is one of what used to number thousands of similar shops all around the country.
Tomio-san is up daily at 6am to prepare his morning deliveries around the area, bringing snacks and sweets to day care centers and kindergartens. He then returns to the first floor shop to make the first batch of tai-yaki, set out the cooler of ice next to the snow cone machine, and replenish the containers of biscuits and cookies that fill the shop.
Daily, from about 9am to 7pm he is there, smiling & chatting with customers, neighbors and delivery people. Unlike the rather dour fishmonger next door who is always scowling and seemingly always working (maybe there's a connection), Tomio-san seems to be perpetually cheerful and welcoming. He knows everyone in the neighborhood and can still rattle off details about life in the area over the last six decades.
The shoutengai around Tomio-san has individual shops selling clothing, hardware, stationery, books, fish, liquor, toys, tea, futons, fruit & veg, meat, shoes. Local residents tend to shop almost daily for fresh goods, and with that there's a regular rhythm of Japanese greetings, commiserations about the weather and local gossip.
Three generations of locals do their shopping on this street, with the kids always stopping by to see Tomio-san for some sweets and shaved ice. It's an identifiable community space, unfettered by any chain stores excepting the 7-11 at the extreme end of the road.
It's easy, and somewhat lazy, to long for the simpler 'old days' of local community; this is often a mask for xenophobia and a resentment of equal rights for all members of society. And yet, Tomio-san and the shoutengai can't help make you wonder, how much has been lost. We all sense that pressing a few buttons and ordering anything from anywhere, instantaneously, is deeply seductive. However the increasing loss of daily human interaction is something unprecedented for human beings, the consequences of which can also be seen in Japan among the estimated one-million 'shut ins', people whose entire life is spent alone, mostly online.
It's not the cure for such social ills, but the local shoutengai, with it's slow, predictable repetitions and daily communication can help fight off the creeping isolation of the modern world. Shopping in an sterile department store or ordering all your weekly groceries (these days fully cooked meals) online is convenient, but so cold and impersonal, to say nothing of the the disastrous effect online shopping has had on local commerce.
Watching Tomio-san smile and joke with the kids as he sells them candy, counting up purchases on his abacus, I'm reminded of Jose Saramago's novel 'The Cave'. The lead character, the potter Cipriano Algor, works hard to maintain his livelihood in the modern world, making by hand what can be mass produced for much less expense at a monolithic new entity called The Center. Like Algor, Tomio-san is an anomaly, a relic of a Japan that is vanishing before our eyes. Hopefully the urban shoutengai can fight off extinction for another generation.
