I have two models X and Y. In X model there is function xx() and in Y model there is function yy().
Now in controller
public function actionWork(){ $a = new X; $b = new Y; $result1 = $a->xx(); $result2 = $b->yy(); }
Now this code will process the action in sequential order.
But if I want to process these code in parallel, how will I be able to do that?

Physicians for Human RightsThrough evidence, change is possible.
Lisez à propos de notre programme en français (pdf).
As efforts to support legal redress for survivors of mass rape intensify in Central and East Africa, Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) is working to improve the abilities of the health and legal communities to build prosecutions of sexual violence crimes, in collaboration with a number of local partners in the region.
Health professionals are crucial first responders for sexual violence survivors, yet many receive little training in the forensic collection and documentation of evidence. Additionally, police officers, lawyers, and judges need support to properly assess cases of sexual violence and effectively interact with health workers and survivors.
In 2011, PHR launched the Program on Sexual Violence in Conflict Zones, a multi-year training and advocacy initiative, with the aim of forging coalitions among regional medical, law enforcement, and legal experts in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Kenya. PHR's goal is to dramatically increase local capacity for the collection of court-admissible evidence of sexual violence to support prosecutions for these crimes.
The Program on Sexual Violence in Conflict Zones draws on PHR's extensive expertise in documenting war crimes and providing forensic training to professionals in regions of conflict where mass crimes have been committed. Specifically, the program includes a series of cross-sectoral, collaborative training workshops for members of the health care, law enforcement, and legal communities.
PHR convened a three-day regional roundtable discussion between February 25 and 27, 2015 at the Lukenya Getaway in Athi River, Kenya. This report provides a summary of the discussions that took place during the roundtable in order to capitalize on the ideas and lessons learned from stakeholders in the DRC and Kenya who are so actively engaged with efforts to end impunity for sexual violence in their respective communities, as well as with PHR's training and advocacy program.
Program Activities
Through its training workshops, PHR's Program on Sexual Violence in Conflict Zones works with local experts to train doctors, nurses, and psycho-social trauma and recovery counselors in the collection of forensic evidence of sexual violence, including documenting health consequences, assuring appropriate treatment, and supporting legal assistance and advocacy.
Learn more about our program activities.
MediCapt is a mobile application, under development by the Program on Sexual Violence in Conflict Zones at PHR, to help clinicians more effectively collect, document, and preserve forensic medical evidence of sexual violence to support the local prosecution of these crimes. This critical tool converts a standardized medical intake form for forensic documentation to a digital platform and combines it with a secure mobile camera to facilitate forensic photography.
Dr. Mukwege, Panzi Hospital, and PHR's Partnership
Dr. Denis Mukwege is a world-renowned gynecological surgeon who is the founder and medical director of Panzi Hospital in Bukavu, DRC. Since he founded the hospital in 1999, Dr. Mukwege and his staff have helped to care for more than 30,000 survivors of sexual violence. For the last eight years, Dr. Mukwege has been PHR's close colleague. More recently, we have been partnering with Dr. Mukwege and his staff at Panzi Hospital, where the Program on Sexual Violence in Conflict Zones has a local office.
Learn more about Dr. Mukwege, Panzi Hospital, and PHR's partnership.
Judicial Colloquium
PHR, in collaboration with Brandeis University and the Institute for Historical Justice and Reconciliation, convened the inaugural judicial colloquium in October 2013 aimed at bringing together military and civilian judges from the DRC with a distinguished group of jurists from international criminal courts and regional tribunals to discuss the challenges of adjudicating cases of sexual violence.
Learn more about the judicial colloquium.
PHR contributed significantly to the Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict from June 10-13, 2014 in London with a delegation of 28 people, including doctors, lawyers, police investigators, human rights advocates, and judges from seven countries, and hosted three expert-led sessions.

|Researchers have found that snap decisions about how 'competent' a politician looks, based solely on a picture of the politician's face, are good predictors of the outcome of elections. In work published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers quickly showed college students images of politicians running for office in other parts of the country and asked them to choose the one that they felt looked 'more competent.' Amazingly, the snap decisions made by those students ended up reflecting the actual outcome of senate and gubernatorial elections over two-thirds of the time. In this segment, Ira talks with psychologist Alexander Todorov, one of the authors of the study, about what it means.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Meeting Warren Buffett was exciting, but 10-year-old Matthew Meyer said winning $5,000 and 10 shares of stock in Buffett's company made Monday the best day of his life.
Matthew said he never expected to make the finals in Omaha, much less win the entrepreneurial contest tied to "The Secret Millionaire's Club" cartoon that drew nearly 4,000 entries online. The Cincinnati boy said his winnings make him "rich-ish" because $5,000 is quite a lot.
"I've wanted to be an investor all my life, so this is a dream come true," said Matthew, who designed a wristband with an elastic strap that helped him learn to hold a pen correctly.
The cartoon, featuring an animated Buffett who teaches financial lessons, airs on the Hub cable network and online at www.smckids.com . Buffett supports the cartoon's efforts to teach kids financial principles, such as avoiding debt, and he voices his own character.
But Matthew said he made sure to tell the billionaire that "he looks nothing like the cartoon."
Buffett said he was impressed with the thought the kids all put into their products and how articulate they were. He gave all the finalists, who range in age from 7 to 16, and their teachers 10 Class B Berkshire shares.
"They so far ahead of where I was at that age," Buffett said.
The chairman and CEO of the Berkshire Hathaway Inc. conglomerate said he hopes the kids come away with the understanding that the more education they get, the more they'll be able to earn. But mostly he said he just posed for pictures with the kids Monday and offered encouragement.
Buffett regularly meets with groups of college students who come to Omaha to ask him questions about business and life. He said he's trying to pass on some of the lessons he's learned because he had good teachers who helped him when he was young.
Kennedy Sabharwal, who won the group competition with her brother and her cousin, said meeting Buffett was the best part of the event.
"He's such a great guy. He even let me hold his wallet for a picture," said Kennedy, 13, of Lexington, Ky. Kennedy worked with her 16-year-old brother Spencer Sabharwal and her cousin Sawyer Beeler, of Liberty, Ky., to design an entrepreneurial kit to equip kids who want to run their own business.
The winning individual and all the members of the winning team received $5,000. Runners-up get $500.
The Fairholme Foundation sponsors the contest, and By Kids For Kids oversees it.
The foundation's trustee, fund manager Bruce Berkowitz of investment firm Fairholme Capital Management, said he hopes the event continues to grow because the kids learned valuable lessons while trying to launch a business and by interacting with Buffett.
"Anything to do with Warren Buffett is worth doing. The man is clearly the Benjamin Franklin of our time," Berkowitz said.
Besides Matthew Meyer, the other individual finalists were: Max Wallack of Natick, Maine; Krissa Hillman of Savage, Md.; Fabian Fernandez-Han of Conroe, Texas; Alexis Pollitto of Colts Neck, N.J.
The other group finalists were: Molly McKiernan, Michael Park, Charles Ripepi and Austin Hayhurst from the Cleveland area; and Clarissa Henry and Esai Prescod of Seattle.

Born in Milan, in 1921, Silvio Gazzaniga is the artist who designed and created the FIFA World Cup Trophy after its predecessor, the Jules Rimet Cup, was won outright by Brazil in 1970.
FIFA.com: In researching for this interview, I came across
a village called Gazzaniga in the Lombardian province of Bergamo.
Is there some family connection there, and would that be the
region's insignia on your lapel?
Silvio Gazzaniga: Well, as a matter of fact, I have ties with Bergamo, as my grandfather was from the province. I'm very pleased about that too, as the people are famed for their strong character. However, the insignia is the Ambrogino, a medal the city of Milan awards for civil distinction. I've lived all my life there and have given a lot to the city. Naturally, receiving it was very gratifying and a real honour.
How would you best describe your craft? Do you consider yourself an artist, a sculptor?
I consider myself a sculptor of medals as, aside from the occasional larger works, I've spent my entire life doing medals and trophies, well cups to be more precise. That's my main profession, so to speak.
Your creations are inextricably linked with the world of sport. Have you always worked in this arena?
Yes, although not exclusively. I've also created religious objects. My long-term involvement in sport is due to an enduring collaboration with the Bertoni company, or GDE as they're now called. I've been their artistic director for forty-five years now.
What are some of the larger monuments you have created?
Well, there was the monument to the fallen motorcyclists, among others.
Like the 'Madonna of the Lake', for example?
Yes, but the monuments were mainly in the field of motorcycling. I've always worked for sporting federations. It's my area of expertise. I've also made a reliquary for the relics of St Anthony of Padova, as well as a host of medals commemorating him for monks who where clients of ours. I found that very rewarding and it gave me a rather good living.
I imagine people always ask you about the FIFA World Cup Trophy. Do you enjoy the attention this specific trophy brings, or do you think too much attention is devoted to it, perhaps to the detriment of your religious creations?
No, I enjoy it because it's a very well-conceived and centred piece of work. I also consider it an artistic success, although its importance now goes far beyond its value as a work of art.
Was it the first sporting trophy you ever created?
No, I'd already made a lot of trophies, including one for the wrestling championship. I've also done designs for various sporting federations over the years, like motorcycling, and been very involved with some of them. It's my specialist area after all. I've also worked for the International Olympic Committee.
With regard to the FIFA World Cup, how did you hear about the project to commission a new trophy?
It came about very simply. At the time I was artistic director of the Bertoni company, and we were asked to send some outline designs. For my part, I submitted two. Then I realised if I wanted people to appreciate the trophy's real form and feel, I'd have to make a prototype. So I made one and sent a photo of it into the FIFA Committee in 1971, and they chose my design.
Your decision to work directly with materials and create a model trophy was rather unusual. Did you work this way because you were convinced you had a great concept?
Yes, but mainly because the drawing by itself was insufficient to express the sensations produced by materials. I wanted the Trophy's ruggedness to transmit a sense of power and energy, and its strong and marked lines to evoke dynamism. And I think I was successful in this respect, because the Cup stands out from other purely decorative ones (which are beautiful in their own right) like the British cups, which are very traditional. This Cup has its own personality and, you could say it's a work of sculpture.
Is it true that you were holed up in your study almost an entire week working on it?
Yes, more or less. As for the moulding, I didn't want to add too many details, as it would've cheapened the sculpture and lessened its impact. So I did the sculpture all at once, although there were things to refine later. In fact, at a later stage when FIFA asked to see the actual model, I had to perfect some of the details of geographical regions on the globe, something they considered very important. That was painstaking and slow, but on the whole it was a quick process.
At what stage did you realise you had the finished article?
I knew it once I'd achieved what I'd set out to do. Usually, you don't work without having a specific brief from a company, so it was definitely a risk, both for FIFA and myself. Once I'd completed the model, I knew that I'd successfully done what I'd been trying to do.
Like those painters who are never finished with their works, did there come a moment when you had to say, "Right, that's it! No more!"?
No. With modern objects of art, if you keep on refining them, they lose the originality and spontaneity that initially gave them life.
Your being satisfied with it was obviously of major importance, but when did you realise the public viewed it with admiration?
Someone called to tell me that he admired my creation, which was when I understood it could be appreciated by anyone, and not just lovers of art. Maybe it's because the work is spontaneous. Football fans also understand and appreciate it.
Footballers are not generally known for their appreciation of works of art, but almost all of them are fascinated by your Trophy. Why do you think that is?
I'd say it's because it was made in an appropriate way and appeals directly to them.
You said once that you wanted to bring together the athlete and the world in your trophy.
Yes, that's right. As this is the World Cup, it's only logical that the world should form part of the Trophy. Of course the world is spherical and, as such, very similar to a ball. The human figures that emerge from the base material extend upwards and support the world, which I also imagined as a ball.
You also said you wanted the Trophy to symbolise effort, harmony and peace. Can you tell us what you meant by that?
And dynamism too. The idea was to create something symbolising exertion, dynamism and the jubilation of an athlete in the moment of victory, with all the joy that contains. The seemingly irregular volumes are what give it its sense of dynamism, but in reality it has a harmonious energy of its own. The figures that emerge from the rough base material evoke a sense of jubilation in victory.
Some experts have claimed it is your Trophy's spiralling shape that has made it a success.
It does ascend helicoidally, and it's this ascension that gives it its harmony, or more precisely its powerful harmony, energy and dynamism.
Where did the idea for those malachite rings come from?
Malachite is a precious stone, and it fitted the sculpture well because it's green, like a football field. It also gives a touch of colour to the Trophy, which, I think, suits it. If it were all metal, it might appear a little dull. And as I said, it is a precious material.
Do you know when you were making the Trophy that FIFA intended to engrave the names of all the winners on it?
No, I didn't. If you look at it, you'll see that it has small plates on the front for the inscription. There are also smaller plates at the back, which also have a decorative function. (If I'd known) I'd have put a bigger plate where you could put the word FIFA, the winner's name and the year of his victory.
Did you know that the winners' names are engraved underneath?
No, I didn't know that.
Did you ever see the Jules Rimet Trophy?
Yes, I had seen it before I designed my one, and I think it was also well-conceived and well-made. But I didn't just want to create a copy of it. I think it was stolen anyway, wasn't it? It was a cup that represented the era in which it was made very well, just as I think mine does.
The sculptor who created the original trophy was a man named Abel Lafleur. Had you heard tell of him?
Yes. At home I have some information on him and even a photo from an old newspaper in which he's mentioned. He was French, I believe.
You rightly mentioned that the Jules Rimet Trophy was stolen. Are you afraid on some level that the same thing might happen to your creation?
Well, you can see why someone would be tempted, what with it being solid gold, but it wouldn't be a disaster, as we made a copy using scagliola (a marble-effect Italian plaster) and could use that to create another. The Jules Rimet Trophy, on the other hand, being less sculpted and made from gold, would have to be made directly from metal. The two processes are very different. The process used in making my Trophy is the same one used on larger statues: first you make a sketch; then you make a preliminary model from clay; and then you do it in scagliola. From that you can extract a mold in wax. A 'lost wax' method is then used for casting, so-called because the wax cavity is later melted and replaced by gold, bronze or whatever metal you're using. That's how my Cup was made.
The Trophy was first unveiled to the public when it was presented to Germany as winners the 1974 FIFA World Cup™. Franz Beckenbauer was the first player ever to lift the Cup. Can you remember where you were and what you felt at that moment?
I can't recall where I was on that occasion, but I clearly remember the day Italy won it (in 1982). I was at home at the time, and there were countless people rejoicing in the streets. It looked like they'd gone mad. I remember it so well as it was Italy's triumph.
Is it true you once said the Cup will always have a little bit of Italy in it?
Seeing as it was made by an Italian, it's only logical that there will always a bit of Italy in it.
Of course, the paradox is that if Brazil had not beaten Riva's Italy team in 1970, you might never have had the chance to create this Trophy.
That's sport for you. The ball is round, and that means it has to rotate. Sometimes you have to tip your hat to the opposition and accept defeat. That's part of sportsmanship.
Although you cannot remember Beckenbauer lifting the Trophy, do normally watch the FIFA World Cup Finals?
Yes, of course. I'm not a diehard football fan, but I really enjoy big games and finals, and try never to miss them.
Traditionally, prominent officials, from presidents to heads of state, hand the Trophy to the winning captain. How does it feel to see your creation handled by such important figures?
It's obviously very satisfying to see that, but it's all part of the game.
The Trophy seems to produce a mix of reverence and euphoria in those players who lift it, and it is practically venerated by the general public. How does that make you feel?
I would modestly suggest that this intense affection for the Trophy comes from the object itself, and what it stands for. It is a symbol of victory, and they're thrilled to have won it, which is why they kiss it as they would kiss a religious relic.
What do you think of the assertion that Italy has given the world two wonderful works of art: the Mona Lisa painting and your Trophy?
Come on now! There's no sense in a comparison like that. The Mona Lisa is of a different quality and is in a whole different category. I appreciate the compliment, but that's an exaggeration.
Modesty aside, you have to accept that every time the Trophy is exhibited, the queues that form would not look out of place at the Louvre.
That is true, but that's because, on some level, they understand this Trophy better than they understand the Gioconda. You need some training or knowledge of art to understand all of Da Vinci's subtleties. The trophy can be understood by anyone, perhaps not completely, but it's still a great popular symbol and touches people.
And here it is, just to remind you.
(Holding the Trophy) It's very heavy, isn't it? It looks like it needs a good clean. Even as it is, it's still beautiful. It's like seeing a son or daughter come home after a long time away. In fact, a work of art is a bit like one's child, as it's a creation. And I'm not just talking about the World Cup: the same is true for every thing I did. So many works or art! It's very interesting to see it again.
All the former winners say a little piece of them will always be imprinted on the Trophy. The same could be said of you?
Although they've won the title, I think there is more of me than them in this Cup. It really is a part of me.
The Honorary FIFA President, Joao Havelange, said on holding the Trophy: "I get older and older, but this Cup stays forever young."
I could say the same, as I too am an old man. However, works of art can endure. One of the most satisfying things about a work of art is that they can survive the passage of time. Life, on the other hand, is fleeting.
Did you ever imagine when you created the Trophy that more than 30 years later it would become this incredibly potent symbol and would be toured all around the world?
Not at all. I didn't think it would become so important, particularly to young people, or that it would come to represent peace. I'm very proud to have done my little bit to help spread peace in the world through sport. Sport brings people and nations together, and is much more important than many of us believe.

After a brief struggle in the tablet market, Barnes & Noble is pulling out.
On Tuesday, the company announced that hits to its NOOK segment helped to drive its losses upward in its latest quarter. From February to April, Barnes & Noble's net losses were at $2.11 per share, for a total of nearly $119 million. Just a year ago, losses totaled around $57 million, or $1.06 per share. NOOK revenues were down sharply last quarter, by 34 percent from a year ago.
As part of its plan to stop its NOOK losses, Barnes & Noble now says it will have a third party manufacture its color NOOK HD and NOOK HD+ tablets, in an effort to mitigate the risks from manufacturing the tablets itself, the company said. Barnes & Noble will, however, continue to make its black-and-white eReaders and to sell NOOK-branded color tablets, as well as eReader content.
[READ: The Outlook Darkens for the Barnes & Noble Nook]
It wasn't just slower device sales that pulled down revenues. Sales of digital content (like books and magazines), while up by more than 16 percent for the year, were down 8.9 percent for the fourth quarter - a drop the company attributed in part to weaker titles this year, compared to the popularity of the Hunger Games and Fifty Shades of Grey trilogies last year.
"We are taking big steps to reduce the losses in the NOOK segment, as we move to a partner-centric model in tablets and reduce overhead costs," explained CEO William Lynch in a statement.
As the tablet market experiences explosive growth, competition has grown fierce. According to market research firm IDC, tablet shipments grew 142 percent year-over-year in the first quarter of 2013. But in that quarter, Barnes & Noble wasn't even among the top five tablet vendors.
The company also expects to open five new stores and close 15 to 20 new ones in the coming year. That rate of store openings and closings is consistent with what the company has done in recent years, says CFO Michael Huseby, and does not reflect that the company is shifting its focus away from brick-and-mortar retail.
[ALSO: Why Apple and Amazon Win at Retail]
"[Our strategy] is to expand our business in all fronts," he says. "To help our customers get a book anytime, anywhere. In the stores, online, through digital devices."
Amid the tablet difficulties, the company said it had a strong fiscal year 2013 performance in its retail and college segments. However, the outlook isn't sunny for the company's stores: Barnes & Noble expects percentage declines for comparable bookstore sales to be in the high single digits for fiscal year 2014, and for percentage declines in college comparable store sales to be in the low single digits,according to a statement released Tuesday.
The latest news from the company helped drive Barnes & Noble's stock price down on Tuesday. As of midday, it had fallen nearly 17 percent from the morning's open, to under $16.

Leap year: The time it takes the Earth to orbit the sun can't be precisely divided into days. Alien planets are likely to have the same difficulty in measuring time accurately.
Today is a leap day, a calendar oddity that helps align our timekeeping with the orbit of the Earth around the sun. But leap day may not be restricted to the Earth — it could occur on planets around other stars as well, as long as there are beings living there to mark the days, scientists say.

The Kansas Senate is preparing to take final action on a bill expanding the number of public buildings where concealed weapons are allowed and letting public school and college employees carry concealed firearms.
Wednesday's vote would determine whether the measure passes and goes to the House.
The bill backed by gun-rights advocates comes as federal officials consider new gun-control measures following a deadly mass shooting at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school in December.
The House already has approved its own version of the same measure, which would allow local school boards and state colleges to designate employees to carry concealed weapons.
Also, state and local governments couldn't prohibit holders of state concealed-carry permits from bringing their weapons into public buildings unless those places had security measures in place.

Australia: Budget cash to shore up oil reserves
The Federal Government will launch a major push to find another Bass
Strait-type oil reserve to combat concerns over Australia's looming
oil supply crisis as part of a wide range of giveaways in today's
federal budget.
Oil exploration companies will receive $1.50 for every dollar spent
on "new frontier" exploration in Australia's offshore seabeds.
The funds are among a plethora of sweeteners in a family-oriented
election budget that will include substantial tax cuts, enhanced
benefits, strong growth projections and a surplus.
The budget is expected to be accompanied by a media campaign costing
up to $20 million.
But Treasurer Peter Costello has taken some gloss of the budget by
failing to stop leadership speculation. Yesterday he again refused to
say that he would be treasurer next year, accusing reporters of
asking a "tricky question".
Mr Costello's prevarication surprised colleagues and triggered
Government fears that selling the budget will be complicated by
repeated questions to Prime Minister John Howard and Mr Costello
about their futures.
Opposition Leader Mark Latham said there was now the "extraordinary
situation" where the Treasurer could not commit to being there for
next year's budget, and the PM could not commit to serving the next
full parliamentary term.
Adding to the day's confusion, Mr Costello was also at odds with
Deputy Prime Minister John Anderson over what to do with the proceeds
of the sale of Telstra.
Mr Anderson said some of the money should be used on infrastructure
spending in rural areas, while Mr Costello said the money should be
used only to reduce Commonwealth debt.
In one of a suite of family measures, which also includes a new
maternity payment worth thousands of dollars, hundreds of thousands
of parents will be eligible for a $600 tax rebate for each child.
The payment follows anger over unexpected debts incurred by up to
500,000 recipients of the family tax benefit who had over-estimated
their incomes.
Mr Costello said the budget "will have families front, centre and
square". It would help relieve some of the pressures on families and
help them balance work and child rearing, he said.
St Paul's Cathedral in Melbourne will receive $2.5 million to help
repair and preserve the 113-year-old Anglican church.
The funding is in addition to the $2.5 million the Federal Government
granted the church in 2001 under its Federation Fund to help restore
two decaying spires.
The hopes of a large number of Government backbenchers for the
establishment of a Families Tribunal to take the place of lawyers in
child disputes will be dampened by a lack of any firm funding in the
The Government's funding for oil exploration is in response to
concerns raised by resources exploration agency Geoscience Australia
that at current production levels Australia's reserves will dry up in
five years.
The agency believes there are up to 40 potential sites in Australian
waters that contain significant oil reserves.
Geoscience Australia expects that by 2015 Australia will be producing
325,000 barrels a day, compared with a demand for 1,027,000 barrels,
resulting in Australia having to import 70 per cent of its oil needs.
The Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association has
forecast Australia's annual import bill for crude oil to rise to
anywhere between $3 billion and $12 billion by 2010.

So you've just taken in a shiny new iPad. Great, but you'll soon realise that on its own the iPad doesn't do that much.
We've scoured the 3,500 dedicated iPad apps to bring you what we think are the best iPad apps available at the moment (early April) to get you started when it comes to TV and video, and help you make the most of that brilliant 9.7-inch screen.
We've tried, tested and reviewed all the iPad apps below ourselves rather than just guessing whether they are good or not. Now grab the popcorn.
Sky Go
It's clear that Sky is taking the tablet and smartphone revolution very seriously. Its Sky News app, released back in March, impressed us greatly and initial impressions of the iPad version of Sky Go are equally as striking. Flicking between channels is done nicely, as you're presented with an EPG and a mini TV - much like you get with Sky HD in your living room - so you can carry on watching something whilst you look for something better although with only a handful of channels to being with that doesn't take too long.
A killer feature of the app is AirPlay support - meaning that you can beam the action from your iPad straight to your Apple TV and onto your big screen. So, by sticking the little black hobby box in your bedroom you can go multi-room with your Sky, without paying extra for the privilege - yes we know you don't get all the channels but you get a selection of premium ones. HDMI out via the iPad 2 isn't supported, however. Read More
iTunes: Link
Price: Free with Sky Go subscription
Rating: 4/5
Movie Vault
If you are one of the many who believe that a lot of films these days have got it all wrong, with too much violence and a plot as thin as a, eh, particularly thin rake, then this is the app for you. Movie Vault brings together the best of classic cinema in one handy app, allowing you to stream movies at a moments notice to you iPhone/iPod.
There are over 1000 movies available to watch and the interface is all pretty straightforward, with swipe navigation and the ability to browse movies by genre, keyword, actor or director - it all looks nice too, with true cover art and info from IMDB. Read More

Price: £1.99
Rating: 4/5
AirVideo is a dual iPhone and iPad app that lets you stream movies and videos from a Mac or PC to your iPad (and iPhone) so you don't have to worry about filling up your precious storage space.
Working over your wireless network, it requires you to have the AirVideo server software installed on the host PC/Mac (it's free and takes 2 seconds to set-up) and then you can stream at the press of the button. It will support virtually all video files, even though the iPad doesn't, and if the iPad doesn't support the video file, it will live convert it for you so you still can. Now you can watch your entire collection without the need to transfer it.
There are some drawbacks, mainly that the better the host machine the faster the service you'll get from it, and bigger files do take a little time to get started. But as a way to give you to access far more films that you could store on the device, this is a great app to have.

We've all been there. That moment where you are watching a movie and you see an actor that you recognise but just can't place. Here IMdb turns your iPad into a massive movie database so you can quickly search a movie and solve the riddle at the press of a button.
While the app will give you wealth of features like latest on what's coming to the cinema and the top 250 movies of all time. It's most helpful when its giving you the biography of actors that you are trying to place.
Find the movie, find the actor and then you get their page detailing their life story, with pictures, trailers, and links to buy the any of their movies from Amazon if you're that way inclined.
Never again will you have the pain of knowing you've seen them, but for the life of you not remembering where.

Price: Free
Rating: 4.5/5
Rowmote Pro
While Apple offers it's own iTunes / Apple TV remote for free for the iPhone, it hasn't got around to offering a dedicated iPad version yet, so if you want to control your music or videos from the couch you've got to double up the iPhone app - not great.
Rather than just let you control iTunes, the Rowmote Pro app lets you control your whole computer from your armchair, be it VLC or EyeTV, iTunes, Hulu Desktop, Boxee, and a stack of more serious office type applications like PowerPoint or Safari (we mention that because you can then use it as an excuse you're getting it for work).
When it comes to the remote functions (i.e., play/pause skip etc) the iPad doesn't use the screen to its full potential disappointingly, however we do like the added keyboard and trackpad support available at the press of a button - that turns your iPad into a massive trackpad to control your mouse.
There is Apple TV support, however you'll have to hack your set-top box from Apple to get this to work, suggesting the best possible option is to connect your computer to your TV and run it that way.
iTunes: Link
Price: £2.99
Rating: 3.5/5
TV Catchup
Not an app per se, TV catchup is still worth a look and an icon on your home page if you want to watch television in the UK on your iPad.
The trick here is to ignore the main website (it won't work as it needs Flash) and head over to the iPhone.Catchup.com website instead, get yourself a login and then get ready to watch any of the Freeview channels on your iPad without any fuss.
While the channel section choice is iPhone formatted, pressing play on one of the icons loads up the channel which is then automatically played full screen: don't worry you can get rid of your browser address bar by pressing the full screen icon.
Channels available include: BBC one, BBC two, ITV 1, Channel 4, Five, ITV 2, Five USA, E4, ITV 3, ITV 4, More 4, BBC Three, BBC Four, Fiver, Film 4, BBC News, cbbc, C ITV, Channel 4 +1, E4 +1, ITV 2 +1, Ceebies, 4 Music, More 4 +1, ITV 3 +1, ITV 4 +1, Film 4 +1, and BBC Parliament.
It's a live stream so you can't record from it, but you can pause it if you need a wee break.
iTunes: Link
Price: Free
Rating: 4.5/5
Yep it's still going and yep it has a dedicated iPad app so you can watch the latest Joost videos for free when you're bored at home with nothing on the television.
It's a fairly basic app, but you'll get a selection of staff picks, most popular videos, the ability to browse genres, and search for stuff.
While some of the content is country specific (mainly the films), most is available to everyone. Oh and we know, while you might not openly admit it, you'll be seduced by He-Man the cartoon streamed to your new tablet computer.
iTunes: Link
Price: Free
Rating: 4/5
Vimeo and YouTube
YouTube is a dedicated app already installed on your iPad that will let you surf the site's featured videos, its top rated offerings, its most viewed, your favourites, your subscriptions, your videos that you've actually uploaded from elsewhere and your viewing history. It's basic, but works well, giving you a laugh when you need it.
Vimeo's opted for an iPad friendly video site, rather than a dedicated app for the time being and it is also worth a look around. The Vimeo HD videos full screen are just amazing.
iTunes: Link
Price: Free
Rating: 4.5/5
Netflix, ABC player
One for our US readers, the Netflix app will let you stream movies directly to your iPad without you having to wait for them in the post. You'll have to have a subscription of course, but it begs the question of why you would ever want to buy any films ever again.
Meanwhile the ABC player will give you the chance to watch full episodes of your favourite ABC shows again. That means Lost, Grey's Anatomy, Modern Family, Desperate Housewives and more.
Price: Free

Rihanna and Chris Brown appear to be very much back together, if the Umbrella hitmaker's latest tweet is anything to go by.
After insisting she was single in a post on 18 December (12), the pretty R&B star was spotted with Brown at the Los Angeles Lakers' Christmas Day (25Dec12) basketball game, and now she has jetted off to the Ivory Coast to be with the Kiss Kiss singer as he prepares to perform at the Kora Awards in Abidjan.
And it seems Rihanna is keen to ring in 2013 as her ex's new lady love after posting a telling tweet on Sunday (30Dec12).
She wrote, "Are u still down baby? Are u really bout that life? Is you down for the ride?.......here we go again."
The couple split in early 2009 after a headline-grabbing fight, which left Rihanna battered and bruised and resulted in assault charges for Brown.
Brown split from model girlfriend Karrueche Tran earlier this year (12) amid reports he had fallen in love with Rihanna again following a series of recording sessions with his ex.
Grainy video footage of Rihanna and Brown arriving in Abidjan has been obtained by celebrity blogger Perez Hilton.

From May 1st to October 31st, all trailered boats being launched into Lake George must undergo an inspection at one of the seven regional inspection stations around Lake George before they launch. The purpose of this inspection is to ensure that boats and trailers are clean, drained and dry, and are harboring no invasive species. Our goal is to keep Lake George clean for the future, so that we can all enjoy this lake in its current high quality state for generations to come. There is no cost to boaters for these inspections, or the washing of the boat and trailer if determined necessary by an inspection technician.
Inspection Station Locations
Get Directions
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do before I arrive at the inspection station?
You should "Clean, Drain and Dry" your boat before arriving at one of the Lake George Inspection Stations. To find out more about this process (CDD), please visit ProtectLakeGeorge.com.
Where do I find the actual regulations related to this program?
The regulations are available here: Regulation 646-9 – Final Adopted 2016
Where do I find more information about Lake George and how this program was developed?
Go to the Lake George Park Commission's website at www.lgpc.state.ny.us, which has a great deal of information about Lake George and the programs developed to protect it.
What organization is in charge of this program?
The NYS Lake George Park Commission. The Commission is a New York State agency created in 1961 specifically to help protect Lake George for the future. While the Commission is the regulatory agency responsible for this program, it would not be possible without the tremendous support of the communities surrounding Lake George and the many nonprofit organizations and other agencies who work to protect the Lake.
How is this program funded?
Funding for this program has been generously provided in a 50-50 cost-sharing effort between New York State through its Environmental Protection Fund, and by a local partnership of municipalities and nonprofit organizations.
Why are these inspections so important & what are inspectors looking for?
Boat inspections are an essential part of preventing the inadvertent transport of aquatic invasive species into the pristine waters of Lake George. Invasive species have devastating environmental and economic impacts on the lake itself, surrounding communities, and native species populations. Most invasive species do not have predators to keep their populations in balance and, once introduced, are difficult or impossible to eradicate. Aquatic pests, including both plants and animals, are easily carried by trailered boats and can infect new waterbodies if care is not taken.
What are Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) and why are they such a big deal?
AIS are non-native species (plants and animals) and are a tremendous threat to all of our lakes. They can impact water quality, the ecology of a lake, our recreational enjoyment of that lake, and even affect the local economies which depend heavily on that lake. Lake George currently has five invasive species, and more than $7 million dollars has been spent trying to control these species over the past two decades. Some invasives have no control, and have long-term impacts on water bodies which have no cure. Prevention of new introductions of invasives through a mandatory boat inspection program is the best way to protect Lake George for the future.
The five invasive species currently present in Lake George are: the Asian Clam, Curly-leaf pondweed, Eurasian watermilfoil, spiny water flea and Zebra mussels. Arriving clean, drained and dry assists in preventing the spread of AIS.
For more information, visit us at the Invasive Species Information Page.
My boat stays at a quick launch or a marina, who launches and retrieves my boat for me at the beginning and end of the season. What do I need to do?
Agreements will be put in place with various marinas who operate primarily "Lake George" boats. If that boat is under their administration and does not leave their facility (or Lake George), inspections will not be required. For more information, check with your marina or storage facility, or contact the Commission at (518) 668-9347.
What is a boat decontamination (washing) & how long does it take?
Decontamination is a process where the exterior of the boat and its systems are flushed using 140 degree water to destroy any invasive species that may be present on the boat or trailer. If the boat requires a hot water decontamination, that will happen at one of our six regional Inspection Stations on a first-come first-served basis. There is no cost for this decontamination, and no chemicals will be used. Boats that arrive clean, drained and dry will not be required to go through the decontamination process. Depending on the complexity of your vessel, decontaminations can last anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes. If you flush your boat's engine at home, please bring your flush kit and any adapters with you to the inspection station, as we have only the most common adapters and tools for the decontamination process.
What should I expect when I arrive at the inspection station?
At the inspection stations you will be greeted by a Vessel Inspection Technician. They will ask you a few questions about your boat and launching history. Then they will physically look and feel for evidence of aquatic invasive species (AIS) inside all compartments of your vessel, including but not limited to the anchor, all bilge & storage compartments, ballast tanks or bladders, ropes & fenders, live or bait wells, etc. They will also inspect the outside of your vessels hull, including the trailer, as well as the engine outdrive & intakes. Once the inspection process is complete, the inspector will inform you if they will need to perform a decontamination, which includes washing and flushing all areas needing decontamination with 140 degree hot water to kill any remaining AIS. Before you leave the inspection station, if you are going to a different launch site, you will receive a wire inspection seal. The seal is typically installed through the bow ring of your boat through a secure location on your trailer.
At the launch ramps, the launch owner will inspect your seal and remove it prior to launching and install a new one when you haul your boat out of the water. The next time you go to launch, if the wire inspection seal is still "intact" you will be able to launch without another inspection. However, if you launch somewhere other than Lake George or the seal is not "intact" you will be required to visit one of the inspection stations for another inspection prior to launching and to get a new inspection seal installed.
Clean, Drain and Dry your boat after every use–including the engine outdrive, bilge, ballast tanks, live wells and storage compartments including their contents. Clean up any oil, dirt or debris inside bilges and storage compartments, and remove all items inside these compartments prior to arriving for your inspection. Make sure all systems are operational, including batteries, engine(s), pumps, etc.
Vessel Inspection Technicians will be checking all compartments for wet ropes and/or dirty anchors, etc. so be sure all equipment and compartments are dry when you arrive. Any wet or dirty equipment will need to be decontaminated.
Inspecting your own boat thoroughly and removing any AIS that may be clinging to carpeted trailer bunks or wheel wells on the trailer, will help expedite the process. Arrive clean, drained and dry.
How long does an inspection take?
Inspections are done on a first-come first-served basis and will take between five and ten minutes to complete, depending on the size and condition of the boat. All efforts will be made to staff the inspection sites appropriately to keep the wait to a minimum.
What are the inspection station hours of operation?
Hours vary by site and season, and are available here.
Does my jet ski need to be inspected?
Yes, jetskis, waverunners, etc are trailered vessels, and need to be inspected prior to launch.
Can I get my boat inspection tag at a regular NYS auto inspection facility?
No, only at one of the six regional Lake George invasive species inspection stations noted on the map on this website.
Where are the inspection stations located?
There are six regional inspection stations located at convenient locations around Lake George, as shown on the map here.
Is there a cost for a decontamination, if required?
No. If an inspection technician determines that your vessel or trailer needs to undergo decontamination, that service will be provided at no cost at the inspection facility.
Is there a fee for inspection?
No. There is no cost for the inspection.
How does this program work?
All trailered boats must get inspected and "sealed" at a regional inspection facility before launching into Lake George. Once inspected (and decontaminated if not clean, drained and dry), you can launch at that site or go to your favorite launch on Lake George (public or private). When you retrieve your boat from the lake, the launch owner or operator will put another inspection seal on your boat before you leave. If that seal is still intact when you return to Lake George again (i.e. you haven't launched into another lake), you do not need to be re-inspected and you can just go to your favorite Lake George launch. However, if you have launched at another lake and/or the seal is broken, you will need to be re-inspected prior to launch into Lake George.
What boats need to be inspected under this program?
Only trailered vessels are required to be inspected prior to launching in Lake George. This includes motorboats, personal watercraft, and sailboats. Canoes, kayaks, and other cartop watercraft are not subject to inspections.
What is this boat inspection program about?
This program has been developed to help prevent new aquatic invasive species from being introduced into Lake George. Trailered boats are the primary means whereby invasive species travel from waterbody to waterbody, and this program is intended to help eliminate this threat to the lake.
Lake George Boat Inspections
Lake George is known as the "Queen of American Lakes", and is one of the foremost natural treasures in the United States. It is one of the clearest large lakes in the world, and is a popular tourist destination for visitors from around the world. In 1961, the NYS Legislature established the Lake George Park Commission as a state agency to help protect Lake George for the future, while maintaining the resource as a high-use recreational lake for its millions of annual visitors.
One of the greatest threats to Lake George comes from aquatic invasive species. Invasive species are plants or animals which are not native to the region, and can cause significant ecological and economic impact to a waterbody. Currently, Lake George has five invasive species present in its waters. To date, more than $7 million has been spent working to control and eradicate these invasives, and this costly work is likely to continue into the foreseeable future.
The primary mechanism whereby invasive species are introduced into waterbodies is through boating. When boaters leave a waterbody and trailer their boat to another waterbody, there is a chance that plants or other invasive species may be on the boat or the trailer. Some of the most concerning aquatic invasive species are non-detectable to the eye in their juvenile form, and can reside in the bilge area or even in the coolant water in the engine. When the infected boat is launched into a new waterbody, that species gets introduced into that waterbody and the problems begin.
Protecting Lake George
To keep new invasive species from entering Lake George, the Lake George Park Commission underwent a two-year study of ideas and alternatives for prevention. This was a very public process which included dozens of public meetings and input, resulting in an Environmental Impact Statement and AIS Prevention Plan which outlined various alternatives for protection. With unanimous support from the nine municipalities around Lake George, the Commission voted to put a new regulatory program forward to require the inspection of all trailered boats prior to being launched into Lake George. This program follows similar successful efforts in many states and key waterbodies out in the western U.S., particularly Lake Tahoe.

The Third Bear Carnival will come to an end later this week, and in honor of that, here's a contest. I have a copy of Jeff VanderMeer's Third Bear collection that includes a unique cartoon by Eric Schaller, drawn on 24 July 2010. This is the only copy of this cartoon that exists, at least as far as I know (most of Eric's cartoons are reproduced in bulk by the many small, innocent children he has imprisoned in a sweatshop deep beneath Dartmouth College). It is drawn on the title page of the book, which in all other editions is unillustrated.
Here's how you can win this unique copy of The Third Bear:
In the comments to this post, write a description/explanation of 100 words or less about The Fourth Bear. (Yes, we know all about the Third Bear now, but what is the Fourth Bear?) The deadline is this Friday, August 27, at 12pm Eastern Standard Time. Eric and I will then consult, and the entry that we agree is most interesting will be the winner. All results are final and utterly subjective.
Barring unforseen claims upon our time, or an inability to come to an agreement (and thus the need to institute a mud-wrestling match between ourselves), we will announce the winner here on Monday, August 30.

A barium swallow is an imaging test that uses X-rays to look at your upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Your upper GI tract includes the back of your mouth and throat (pharynx) and your esophagus.
You may have just a barium swallow. Or this test may be done as part of an upper GI series. This series looks at your esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine (duodenum).
X-rays use a small amount of radiation to create images of your bones and internal organs. X-rays are most often used to find bone or joint problems, or to check the heart and lungs. A barium swallow is one type of X-ray.
Fluoroscopy is often used during a barium swallow. Fluoroscopy is a kind of X-ray "movie."
The test also uses barium. Barium is a substance that makes certain area of the body show up more clearly on an X-ray. The radiologist will be able to see size and shape of the pharynx and esophagus. He or she will also be able see how you swallow. These details might not be seen on a standard X-ray. Barium is used only for imaging tests for the GI tract.
A barium swallow may be done to look for and diagnose problems in the pharynx and esophagus. You may need a barium swallow if your healthcare provider think that you have:
Your healthcare provider may have other reasons to recommend a barium swallow.
You may want to ask your healthcare provider about the amount of radiation used during the test. Also ask about the risks as they apply to you.
Consider writing down all X-rays you get, including past scans and X-rays for other health reasons. Show this list to your provider. The risks of radiation exposure may be tied to the number of X-rays you have and the X-ray treatments you have over time.
Tell your provider if:
You may have constipation or impacted stool after the test if all of the barium does not pass out of your body.
You should not have a barium swallow if you have:
You should also not have this test if you are pregnant.
You may have other risks depending on your specific health condition. Be sure to talk with your provider about any concerns you have before the procedure.
You may have a barium swallow as an outpatient or as part of your stay in a hospital. The way the test is done may vary depending on your condition and your healthcare provider's practices.
Generally, a barium swallow follows this process:
You may go back to your normal diet and activities after a barium swallow, unless your healthcare provider tells you otherwise.
Barium may cause constipation or impacted stool after the procedure if it isn't completely cleared from your body. You may be told to drink plenty of fluids and eat foods high in fiber to help the rest of the barium leave your body. You may also be given a laxative to help with this.
Your bowel movements may be white or lighter in color until all the barium has left your body.
Call your healthcare provider right away if any of these happen:
Your healthcare provider may give you other instructions, depending on your situation.
Before you agree to the test or the procedure make sure you know:

A vote on a U.S. House of Representatives Republican plan to avert the fiscal cliff could come as early as this week, according to a Republican lawmaker.
Leader Eric Cantor told a Republican caucus meeting Tuesday morning that a vote on a Republican plan to avoid some $600 billion in taxes and spending could be this week, U.S. Representative Paul Broun told Reuters.
Earlier, a congressional aide said the plan would prevent taxes from rising on incomes below $1 million.

Beyoncé's empire is getting a boost from Forbes.
The singer has just topped the magazine's Celebrity 100 List, thanks in part to her stellar 2013 with the help of her surprise album release Beyoncé and a massive tour.
According to Pollstar, Beyoncé played 95 shows, which brought in an average of $2.4 million per date. Additionally, her single "Drunk in Love" has gone platinum and sold more than 1 million copies.

That's not all, though. Queen Bey's empire extends from music into fashion and soft drinks, as she has endorsed H&M and Pepsi as well as released a line of fragrances. All of these ventures and her clothing company House of Dereon have earned her $115 million between June 1, 2013, and June 1, 2014, Forbes reports.
