Vaccines and board games all in a day's work for patent officers
David Boudreau and Reid Mulligan are passionate about their jobs. Both are patent officers at Canada's clearing house for innovations—the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO). They examine, assess and, ultimately, protect novel ideas that originate with Canada's best and brightest.
David's specialty is reviewing new techniques for detecting illnesses, while Reid has two areas of expertise: electrical innovations and ideas for games.
"I immerse myself in fascinating proposals for new patents—often in medicine and immunology—that could change and, in many cases, save the lives of Canadians," says David. "This can include applications for vaccines used to treat or prevent diseases. Proposed immunological products might cover anything from pregnancy tests to antigens and antibodies for brain and breast cancer."
Reid's job can be a lot more light-hearted. "I really like my work," he says. "It's always different and can be a lot of fun. I might be looking at a new idea for a lottery ticket one day, and the next it's a design for a gaming table at a casino, or perhaps a board game that some family has thought up."
Rewarding innovators for their efforts
CIPO has the gargantuan task of protecting original ideas coming in from all over Canada. That is why David says his job is so interesting. He gets to witness a flow of new concepts that stream through his office.
"Our vision at CIPO is to encourage and protect innovation so that innovators can be rewarded for their efforts. This in turn helps to build an innovative knowledge based economy and foster Canada's prosperity. The people I work with and the amazing information that crosses our desks every day make my job distinctive."
While both men have different specialties, the process they go through at work is much the same.
"Whatever it may be, the same standards for granting a patent always apply. Every proposal is judged on its novelty, utility and ingenuity," Reid explains. "It's exciting. Innovation always starts in someone's mind. But CIPO is often the next step in the chain of creativity that's building Canada's knowledge economy."
Science fair leads to the Patent Office
David studied chemistry and biochemistry, although he says working as a patent officer has long held a special attraction for him.
"Strangely, perhaps, I've always wanted to be a patent officer, ever since I was in high school and became acquainted with the Patent Office via a science fair project. I wrote to the Salomon and Rossignol ski companies about the polymers used in their skis, and they referred me to the Patent Office. Since it was in my hometown, my science teacher took me there, and we spent a whole day meeting people and learning about patents. I was hooked and knew I wanted to work there some day."
Reid is an electrical engineering graduate. His background gives him special insight into the electrical patent applications that land on his desk. "Within those applications there are all the technical components. My electrical engineering training gives me an understanding of what they're trying to invent," he says.
And Reid is just as enthusiastic as David about the work he does.
"CIPO is a great place to work. It takes special preparation to become a patent officer, and CIPO's training program is first-rate. They really bring you along nicely, and now I have an interesting, well-paid job with excellent colleagues. I'd recommend a career in the Public Service, and CIPO, for anyone."
Workplace without barriers
Although Reid has cerebral palsy and is used to overcoming the challenges posed by his disability, he has found CIPO an enabling place to work. His own workplace is barrier free, and he says he has been well accommodated on the job.
"I never have a problem getting the equipment I need," he says, "especially when it comes to getting something with an ergonomic design that works for me. CIPO even helped me get an indoor parking space, right in the building, so I don't have to worry about taking a tumble on the winter ice any more."

Let's Fight Ghost Episodes 3 & 4 Recap: It's Supernatural!
We move two steps forward and one step back in our main mystery as our Dynamic Duo is pulled in by the Derp Duo to investigate two separate ghosts. Join Kate, Amy and Taleena as we pick through the breadcrumb clues in episodes 3 & 4 of Let's Fight Ghost!
Starring Kim So Hyun and Ok Taec Yeon
Let's Fight Ghost
Starring Kim So Hyun and Ok Taec YeonAdd to Queue Remove from Queue Watch Now
Taleena: I'm digging this Ghost-of-the-Week thing as a way to keep the action rolling while our main mysteries: Bong Pal's parents, Evil (oh and he's definitely E-vil!) Vet, and Hyun Ji's death progress incrementally.
Kate: It's a formula that works, and I think there will probably be some episodes that are less ghost-of-the-week and more arc driven, but so far the breadcrumbs are tantalizing. I think you were right last week about our vet Hye Sung though- he's in a mask, like in Scooby Doo. However, I'm calling possession. I think some kind of ghost is wearing him, and that tattoo isn't really a tattoo. He seems to be related to (or the actual evil) that killed Bong Pal's mom, and I bet this isn't the first person it has possessed. I wonder if Dad went all Supernatural devoting his life to finding the evil that killed his wife and ignored Bong Pal, and that's why they have such a bad relationship.
Amy: I totally agree with Kate. I similarly think that the vet is being possessed; he only seems to show his evil side when he gets caught off guard, like when the cat scratched him. I definitely think that the vet has something to do with Hyun-Ji's death. There's always a connection.
Taleena: So is Bong Pal Sam or Dean? I say Dean because Sam always seemed so Goody Two Shoes blindingly naive and Dean is about the benjamins. But you're on the money calling possession with the tattoo a physical manifestation of the spiritual reality. I know they will probably do the Redemption Cha-cha at the end like they do in most K dramas, but I think that was the weakest part of Oh My Ghostess, so I wonder how they will handle it here. Hye Sung killed a kitten and a girl on camera. It is hard making the redemption leap off of that, much less if he had a hand in Bong Pal's mother's death or Hyun Ji's.
Kate: That's funny, I was going to say definitely Sam, since Bong Pal is such a good student at an excellent college and seems to be rejecting his father, hence ignoring and throwing out the letters he sends. Dean looks up to his dad a bit more than Sam, Sam rebelled. Though it appears Bong Pal's rebellion is not complete. Yes, he may be killing ghosts, but as you say Taleena, it's for the cash. I'm not sure what he's saving up for (it seems like he has some kind of total in mind), but he doesn't seem to be fighting ghosts because it's a calling, it is more a special skill that can earn him some dough. And my goodness, Chun Sang and In Rang could use some of that. While they are a bit hapless, I was especially feeling sorry for In Rang this week as he was trying to make the best of their bad financial situation and Chun Sang kept denying the straits they were in.
Amy: If I remember correctly, I think Bong Pal is raising money for some kind of eye surgery so that he will no longer see ghosts. Chun Sang and In Rang are a mess, but they are definitely fun to watch. I did feel really bad for In Rang though since he seems like the more logical and responsible of the two. I honestly got a bit annoyed with Chun Sang since he acts a little selfish at times, but luckily In Rang accepts him for that.
Taleena: OH! Those two just about killed me this week. I want to give a should out to Kang Ki Young and David Lee for the superb physical comedy they did during the salon fight scene. Every time the camera cut to them as the salon ghost was throwing them around - only without the ghost actor- I laughed so hard. Chun Sang and In Rang have a funny relationship, because the ONLY thing I can see Chun Sang bringing to the table is that he is more supernaturally sensitive than In Rang. In Rang has the smarts, but he keeps getting pulled into bad situations by his buddy.
Kate: Chun Sang, when things are going well, is probably the stronger personality. I could see him getting In Rang spending his money on a fancy camera and starting this club in better times. Now that things are going badly, Chun Sang's falling apart. It also doesn't help that Chun Sang seems to be a bit of a ghost magnet. Maybe he can use this skill to help secure Bong Pal more exorcism jobs. He could get a referral fee. I think it will be a few more episodes, though, before Bong Pal is ready to see them as possible friends rather than a possible source of extra jobs.
Taleena: I think that depends on how quickly the writers move on the senior that was killed. Right now Bong Pal's crush, Im Seo Yon, is in an unwittingly dangerous position. She is the link between the girl who died and Hye Sung. Plus, she is in his attention with the dog too. I really think this is going to be the thing which brings her into Bong Pal's orbit. Hyun Ji's ghost friend - whom I have dubbed Minnie for the awesome bow she sports - as well as Hyun Ji herself are bound to stumble across something hinky about the vet. The more I think about it the more I am concerned for Minnie too.
Kate: Im Seo Yeon is in a precarious place. I wonder, though, since K-Drama is the land of coincidence (or just is the ultimate small world), if she might have deeper ties to this whole story somehow. Maybe Hyun Ji and she knew each other? Hyun Ji did say she'd be Bong Pal's sunbae, and Hyun Ji has almost no memory of her own life, other than that brief memory she gained during her kiss with Bong Pal. I'm a little worried there about Hyun Ji too. Minnie (Kyung Ja) may have done more bad than good in suggesting that Bong Pal definitely liked her. I don't think it will do permanent damage, but it will cause some more hurt feelings and misunderstandings as Hyun Ji develops feelings much more quickly for Bong Pal.
Amy: I think Im Seo Yeon is definitely get into trouble soon. She's always talking to the vet without realizing that he's not as perfect as everyone sees him to be. Hopefully, Bong Pal can save her from whatever trouble she ends up in. Kyung Ja did tell Hyun Ji that Bong Pal likes her, but I don't think Hyun Ji thought anymore of the comment after Bong Pal left mid-conversation to talk to his senior.
Taleena: I was very frustrated when she kept saying to Hyun Ji that Bong Pal liked her. I'd like to have a brother/sister vibe rather than a romantic vibe. Even though we have seen two kisses and two ALMOST kisses, they seem to be better as fighting buddies than anything else. I really thought she'd get more memories after getting drunk. I had a theory that it wasn't so much the kiss as it was a "first". Now they have gone on to her doing the SATs but I doubt that is it. I am intrigued by the idea that Im Seo Yeon is, or rather was, Hyun Ji's friend. If Bong Pal's mom was killed by being pushed into traffic, I wonder if Hyun Ji died saving Im Seon Yeon from the same fate?
Kate: It would make sense that both Hyun Ji and Bong Pal were affected by the same malevolent spirit. It would also make a bit of romantic justice, especially if Hyun Ji is really dead, and not in some coma somewhere, if Seo Yeon and Bong Pal were brought together in the end by Hyun Ji. Only time can tell where next week's ghost stories will take our characters.
Taleena: No comas. No COMAS! I hoped for a coma in Oh My Ghostess but I don't want one here. And I realize I just jinxed myself.
What do you think drama fans? Is Im Seo Yeon part of our very small Kdramaland? Is there a connection between the death of Bong Pal's mom and Hyun Ji? Is Hye Sung possessed? Let us know in the comments!

What's going on in new media marketing, pulled from social bookmarking site Creativing.com:
Tweet of the Week
"Orkut for Android?" Nice. If they just added pro sports, scrapbooking, and Ron Paul, I'd finally have my perfect "Who Cares?" engine.
Five Keys For Creating Viral YouTube Titles
Interest in creating viral videos will probably be around for a while. These simple tips are well worth the quick read. I also found the video for creating a "Tim Burton" look with makeup surprisingly interesting.
Digital Marketing: YouTube Opens Up Overlays – Advertising Age
I still say the YouTube deal will ultimately play out (and pay out) well for Google. With the level of usage still going through the roof, and Google wanting to get their text ads in every nook and cranny of the Internet, this video-based version of Adwords is right out of their play book.
"My Mom's On Facebook" Song Goes Viral
From somewhere between Twisted Sister and Save By The Bell comes this video that's trending upward. Not sure what qualifies as 'going viral', but at 250k views in a couple days, it seems headed there if it isn't yet.
Attention, "Star Wars" Fans: The iPhone Lightsaber Duel is Coming
So I'll admit to downloading the first Lightsaber iPhone app. And this bluetooth-based multiplayer version certainly ups the ante. Sold!
Facebook, The Tool Of Big Brother?
The idea is simple. Govt agencies like the FBI and DEA are using Facebook to lure and track suspects across a number of potential infractions. On the surface, it's almost funny to think that some FBI agent could be posing as a cute girl to lure a criminal into confessing something stupid online. Of course, if it goes beyond the FBI and some 'stupid criminal' to monitoring general citizen activity, that presents another picture. And while the intent may be different between those two, the basic activities are identical. More privacy regulation fun ahead.
The Current State of Twitter [INFOGRAPHIC]
Sometimes I like data just for the way it's presented. These charts are a lesson in info design. It's also interesting to note how the majority of Twitter users have posted so few times. I'd guess squatters are making a fairly big impact, but still a very high percentage of "users" rarely use it. Also interesting is the days of the week. It still looks like a heavy workplace distraction that spills over into the commute home or drinks after work.
Google TV: Five Burning Questions – Yahoo! News
I don't usually like speculating on things too far out in the future. As Wired magazine once said, It's virtually impossible to predict technology more than 6 months out. But this article brings up some great scenarios to consider, and involves speculation on the future of advertising. I also think the idea of Web-capable TV will probably happen fast. I could almost see people forgoing home computers, and bridging the gap with mobile phones and a Web-enabled TV.
New Ad Opps Abound at Airports, in the Air – MarketingVOX
If you fly much, you likely noticed the increase in ads popping up everywhere; from security bins to seat trays. The new interactive displays are not only showing up at airports, but in downtown areas as well. Triggered by motion (the one's I've seen), they're a fun technology, but I haven't seen them really used that creatively yet. Opportunity alert!

Amidst a long delay, Apple Computer's iPod mini has been a much-talked-about but rarely seen phenomenon. Getting your hands on one isn't easy. Steve Jobs unveiled the iPod mini in January, promising availability shortly thereafter. The launch was delayed when Apple ran short on Hitachi hard drives, and now worldwide availability isn't expected until at least July. The company is filling domestic orders, but the wait is long. Apple even sent out an email message offering a 15GB classic iPod replacement at the same price if customers didn't want to hold out. I decided to wait, and I wasn't disappointed.
I admit that I was initially put off by the price. On paper, $249 seems ridiculous. For $50 more, you can get a classic iPod with almost four times the storage space. So why all the excitement? Baffling—until I got my hands on one, that is.
The Apple Factor
The iPod mini, like many Apple products before it, boasts the powerful attraction of just-plain-coolness. Even the box is worth saving. But it's not all about packaging. The iPod is appealing because it's intelligent and original. There's just something about Apple that gets you excited and makes it worthwhile to wait an extra 3 weeks for a backorder. Call it the Apple Factor. I don't know any other way to describe it.
Shedding 2 ounces and a half inch around the waist, the iPod mini fits in even the smallest hand (or shirt pocket) with ease, unlike the slightly chunkier iPod. Roughly the size of a business card, the iPod mini becomes a nearly invisible addition to your wardrobe. You can choose from five colors—silver, gold, pink, blue, and green—and if that's not enough, you can engrave the scratch-resistant cover with a personalized message.
Other than its smaller size, the iPod mini also boasts a slicker menu with the controls built right into the Touch Wheel, hence the new name—Click Wheel. Whereas the classic iPod's navigation responds at the slightest touch, the mini's Click Wheel combines that concept with press points, allowing the buttons to be in the same space as the wheel itself. The redesign not only permits the more compact size but lets you more easily control the device with just one hand.
I didn't think a half inch would make a big difference, but I was immediately impressed with the simplicity and elegance of the smaller size. By comparison, the classic iPod feels bloated and its menu buttons, with their raised plastic to guide your fingers, seems exaggerated. The iPod mini's Click Wheel takes the iPod to the next level, making it the simplest, most impressive design out there.
Manipulating Music
From the menu, you can select a playlist, and you can browse by artist, album, song, genre, or composer. In Play mode, click once on the center button and you can fast-forward and rewind through the timeline of the current selection. Click twice and you can rate the song on a scale of 1 to 5, giving it a priority in shuffle mode. You can also create a playlist on the fly by pressing and holding the center button while a selection is playing. The song is instantly added to your On-The-Go playlist, accessible from the main menu. Later, you can also upload that new playlist to iTunes.

Manual updates sound like work, but adding files is no more complex than drag-and-drop. To delete files, you simply hit the Delete key. The iPod and its contents are displayed in iTunes' left navigation bar, much like a CD or playlist, so you view the contents and manage the files the way you'd expect.
Like its bigger brother, the mini sounds fantastic. The device comes with earbuds, which are great, and sound better than my $90 Grado SR-80 headphones.
Size and Storage Concerns
If you choose an iPod mini over the traditional iPod, you will lose some storage, The classic iPod selection ranges from 15GB to 40GB, but at 4GB, the iPod mini is no slouch. In fact, this device is perfect for the overwhelming majority of us who, according to a recent study by Jupiter Research, barely keep 1000 songs on our computers anyway. I synced my entire library and still had space to transfer data files.
For serious music lovers, or those who can't pack lightly, the small hard drive will be a deterrent. If that's the case, $50 more for a classic iPod isn't a huge leap. If you plan to use the iPod as a portable hard drive, that may be another reason to upgrade. Also, watch out if you work or play in a cross-platform environment. Although you can use the device on a PC or a Mac, you can't easily sync to more than one version of iTunes without reformatting the drive. Bummer.
iPod Video and Satellite Radio
Video capability isn't in the works, according to Jobs, who spoke at a press conference celebrating the iTunes Music Store's 1-year anniversary. We've heard speculation that the increase in storage capability of the iPod (up to 40BG) and other players signaled a possible shift to a multi-use portable player such as the RCA Lyra Audio/Video Jukebox. Jobs squashed those hopes by saying the iPod would continue to support only music.
I'm hoping Apple will eventually build in a satellite-radio feature. Although you can buy an adapter to convert the player to an FM/AM radio, I'd like to see the company take that notion a step further and benefit from the portability of XM or Sirius technology.
Battery Life
Another disappointment is the battery. The iPod mini uses the same small, hidden battery that its sibling uses. It's rechargeable and lasts only 8 hours, but the real concern has been its life span. Complaints popped up all over the Web when—because of a difficult-to-get-to battery and the high cost of replacing it—Apple recommended customers replace out-of-warranty iPods instead of the battery when it stopped taking a charge.
A $300 hit after only 18 months was too much for Casey Neistat, a New Yorker and iPod battery-life victim. His Web site and video, "iPod's Dirty Secret," dedicated to warning others about the quirky battery life, quickly became Internet legend.
It's hard to imagine how Apple would overcome this problem with an insanely small device like the iPod mini, but the company does now offer a replacement program. It'll still cost you $105.95, your data will not be transferred to the new iPod, and you're likely to get a refurbished model in exchange. The solution seems fair, though, when you consider Apple is replacing past-warranty equipment.
In Demand
All that said, the iPod mini is definitely the coolest-looking player on the market and has a better UI and slicker package than its sibling. But it won't satisfy serious music consumers. The iPod mini is perfect for the casual music lover who travels light and appreciates intelligent design. The price would be easier to swallow at around $150, but if eBay is any indication, demand for the device has proven that people are willing to pay for it.

A. My company has a Windows NT 4.0 network on which we've installed Microsoft Exchange Server. I'm weary of performing nightly manual backups of the C partition. Do you have a script that I can use to automate the NT backup process?
The following batch file lets you automate the backup of a local partition. However, this batch file is inappropriate for more complex network partitions and won't let you back up remote registries. For those situations, you need to invest in a backup application such as VERITAS Software's VERITAS Backup Exec or Computer Associates' (CA's) ARCserve. Writing even a simple local NT backup batch file can be laborious. To do so, open your favorite file editor. I recommend MS-DOS Editor, which you access from a command line by typing
Your batch file first needs to use the Net Stop command to stop all Exchange Server services. (You can't back up an active service.) Type the following:
net stop MSExchangeMSMI /y net stop MSExchangePCMTA /y net stop MSExchangeFB /y net stop MSExchangeDX /y net stop MSExchangeIMC /y net stop MSExchangeMTA /y net stop MSExchangeIS /y net stop MSExchangeDS /y net stop MSExchangeSA /y
The /y switch automates the process of stopping the services by answering yes to the series of questions that the user must typically answer as the system prepares for the backup. Next, type the following backup command into your file editor:
ntbackup backup C: /b /hc:on /t:normal /l:"%windirlogfiles\backup.log" /tape:0
where the /b switch backs up the registry, the /hc:on switch enables hardware compression, the /l switch tells the backup process to write the results to a file in the NT directory's \logfiles subdirectory, and the /tape:0 switch determines which tape device to use. (The 0 registry syntax directs the backup to the first tape device.)
To restart the Exchange Server services, type the following lines into your file editor:
net start MSExchangeSA net start MSExchangeDS net start MSExchangeIS net start MSExchangeMTA net start MSExchangeIMC net start MSExchangeDX net start MSExchangeFB net start MSExchangePCMTA net start MSExchangeMSMI
Optionally, you can inform the user when the backup has completed. To do so, add the following line to your file:
net send user BACKUP FINISHED
Save the file as, for example, backup.bat in the NT directory and close the file editor. At the command prompt, type
at 2:00am /every:sunday "backup.bat" /interactive
where the /interactive switch handles any potential errors. This command tells the command scheduler to run backup.bat every Sunday at 2:00 a.m.

J.C. Penney Taps Credit Line; Here's Why
J.C. Penney disclosed Monday morning it tapped $850 million of its $1.85 billion credit line to fund operating needs, a move that comes as the company has been talking with bankers in order to help replenish its rapidly dwindling cash coffers.
The announcement, which will allow Penney to fund inventory restocking and other costs related to its renovated home departments, comes after the struggling retailer last week ousted former Apple wonder boy Ron Johnson as CEO after only 17 months at the helm. Penney is also scrambling to rebound from a 25% drop in sales last year.
The Wall Street Journal last week reported that Centerview Partners is advising J.C. Penney on its fundraising options along with Blackstone Group, as the department-store chain looks to a widening circle of bankers for help replenishing its rapidly dwindling cash coffers.
Shares recently rose 1.1% to $14.78 in recent premarket trading.
Here's Penney's release:
PLANO, Texas (April 15, 2013) – J. C. Penney Company, Inc. (NYSE:JCP) today announced plans to enhance the company's financial flexibility and position. As part of that process, and consistent with its previously stated plans, the company has drawn $850 million out of its $1.85 billion committed revolving credit facility. Proceeds will be used to fund working capital requirements and capital expenditures, including the replenishment of inventory levels in anticipation of the completion of its newly renovated home departments next month.
Chief Financial Officer Ken Hannah said, "Earlier this year, we increased our revolving credit facility in anticipation of operating, working capital and capital expenditure needs, especially during the first half of the year. As we near completion of the home department transformation in over 500 stores, we have been undertaking and will continue to experience a significant inventory build and increase in capital expenditures."
Hannah continued, "The draw under our revolver today provides more than our current funding needs to ensure our continued liquidity. Moreover, we will continue to explore additional capital raising alternatives with the assistance of our financial advisors."
Over the past few months, the company has worked to improve performance through changes in its pricing and promotional strategies, including the return of coupons, and the development of other new initiatives to drive store traffic and deliver the style, quality and value that its customers want. The action today bolsters those efforts, as well as the company's on-going financial position.

"In the summer of 1940, lying in the sun, I saw a family of redstarts, unconcerned in the affairs of our skeletal multitude, going about their ways in cherry and chestnut trees." Soon after his arrival at Warburg PoW camp, British army officer John Buxton found an unexpected means of escape from the horrors of internment. Passing his days covertly watching birds, he was unaware that he, too, was being watched. Peter Conder, also a passionate ornithologist, had noticed Buxton gazing skywards. He approached him and, with two other prisoners, they founded a secret birdwatching society.
This is the untold story of an obsessive quest behind barbed wire. Through their shared love of birds, the four PoWs overcame hunger, hardship, fear and stultifying boredom. Their quest would draw in not only their fellow prisoners, but also some of the German guards, at great risk to them all.
Derek Niemann draws on original diaries, letters and drawings, to tell of how Conder, Barrett, Waterston and Buxton were forged by their wartime experience into the giants of postwar wildlife conservation. Their legacy lives on.
"A wonderfully crafted hymn to the life-giving qualities of birds"
– Simon Barnes
"Immensely moving [...] a beautiful and gripping story"
– Tim Dee, BBC Wildlife Magazine
"The most gripping and illuminating tale of a hidden side of PoW life in WWII"
– Toby Little
"A wonderful story [...] gives you that warm feeling that a shared love of Nature conquers all"
– John Beard
"John Barrett, John Buxton, Peter Conder and George Waterston were four of the most significant British ornithologists to be born in the 1910s. All wrote papers for British Birds at various times and each made his mark on bird study in a different way. By chance, they each joined a different regiment in the Second World War and, by tragic coincidence, all found themselves imprisoned at different places during that war, having been captured in Germany, Norway, France, and Greece respectively.
The war brought together so many people from different backgrounds, often in very challenging situations. Friendships were forged in the toughest of circumstances – not least in Prisoner of War camps across Germany. These four ornithologists were all moved between different prison camps in varying locations but all four were held at the same place between October 1941 and September 1942. That place was the Oflag VI-B camp for officers at Warburg in Germany – roughly halfway between Hanover and Cologne.
This book tells the story of their wartime service, but particularly the time they spent together. If anything, their interest in birds was strengthened by their enforced imprisonment. There were relatively few things that inmates could do, but each of them had noticed birds around the camp, and – despite the absence of binoculars – they had started to record what they saw. In particular they observed the spring migration of 1942, with a daily log being kept of every bird seen over a period of almost two months. In addition Buxton focused his attention on the Common Redstart Phoenicurus phoenicurus. Their interest in birds attracted the attention of security guards, who suspected them of plotting an escape plan. Not surprisingly, some of the inmates thought that they were an odd group – not least when they started to correspond with a German ornithologist. All but Barrett were later moved south to another camp in a wooded valley at Eichstätt, where Conder studied the Goldfinch Carduelis carduelis and Waterston focused on the Wryneck Jynx torquilla. The latter study totalled an astonishing 1200 hours of observation for Waterston and his 'assistants'. Eventually, the men were split up before the war ended in 1945 and all returned home safely.
In their own ways, each of the four men went on to make their impression on the world of ornithology and bird conservation. John Buxton became a teacher and academic and wrote up his studies of the Common Redstart in a New Naturalist monograph (The Redstart, Collins, 1950); John Barrett became the warden of Dale Fort Field Centre in Pembrokeshire and wrote highly popular guides to seashore wildlife; Peter Conder became the warden at nearby Skokholm, eventually joining the RSPB staff in 1954 and becoming the Society's Director General; George Waterston, who founded Fair Isle Bird Observatory, also ended up on the RSPB staff and is widely accepted as the man who made sure that the Osprey Pandion haliaetus successfully reintroduced itself to Scotland in the 1950s.
The great value of this book is that it brings together the story of what these men experienced. These are stories that have rarely been told, as each of them remained relatively tight-lipped about their experiences – even to close family. Peter Conder did write up some of his thoughts but never completed them, and John Buxton even wrote a book on the subject, which was rejected for publication. The strength of this book comes from the fact that you are drawn into their lives and it feels as if the men are in a room talking about what had happened. All four died a long time before Derek Niemann had the idea for this book, but despite having never met any of them, he has brought to life their different attitudes and experiences with great ease."
Keith Betton, 25-04-2013, www.britishbirds.co.uk/
"I received an email in mid-November from a reader suggesting that we should review Birds in a Cage. My curiosity was piqued and I emailed the charming folks at Short Books to secure a copy. We are more used to reviewing field guides, site guides and avifaunas, so the prospect of reviewing a "proper" book was rather a novelty.
First impressions were certainly favourable. The book is a hardback with a pleasing heft and a well-designed cover. Four uniformed men are pictured thereon: Peter Conder (who would go on to be director of the RSPB), George Waterston (who established Fair Isle Bird Observatory and the Loch Garten Osprey watch), John Buxton (poet and author of The Redstart) and John Barrett (whose books would inspire millions to enjoy natural history). All four were separately taken prisoner in 1940/41 and would see out World War II in a variety of prisons, eventually coming together at Warburg PoW camp in autumn of 1941. They were united in relying on their love of birds to provide a figurative escape from their confines.
The book starts with an introduction and cast list, which lends very helpful context. As the years since the end of the last great war begin to stretch beyond living memory, it is a sobering reminder that six million men fought for Britain during the campaign. However this book is far from being miserable, maudlin or moralising. It is instead insightful, inspiring and uplifting. It is also beautifully written. The author, Derek Niemann, will be familiar to many as a contributor to The Guardian's country diary as well as the author of many books. He puts his considerable skills to good use weaving these threads of history into a compelling yarn. The book is liberally sprinkled with line drawings, photos and reproductions of letters and telegrams.
Birding in the 1940s wasn't a straightforward pastime. Telescopes and "field glasses" were only available to a favoured few, and reliable field guides were thin on the ground, and nigh-on impossible to find in a prison camp. The literary John Buxton wrote home asking not for cigarettes or spare socks, but exhorting his father to send Gilbert White's Natural History of Selbourne. However, the men had plenty of time on their hands, and they filled it by observing nests, building nest boxes, counting birds, noting dates of arrivals and departures, all recorded in detailed and fiercely guarded notebooks. The central European avifauna was unfamiliar to our cohort of British officers, and tricky species such as crested lark gave them the runaround.
In addition, these men were surely the first proponents of vis-migging. They spent hours gazing at the skies noting the species that flew over. In March 1942 they noted some spectacular movements. On the 14th of the month they had nearly 7000 skylarks over, and noted a daytime passage of 7659 rooks and jackdaws. At night they heard cranes passing over – although it took until a daylight party flew over the camp to work out which species was making the haunting honks. The irony of their observation of migration was not lost on the prisoners. The German guards eventually began to look upon the birding prisoners as harmless enthusiasts and tolerated or even encouraged the hobby, a fact that tunnel-diggers were to exploit to their advantage. Some unlikely friendships born out of a love of birds and natural history were to flourish.
Birds in a Cage is not simply a book about birds, nor is it a biography of Conder, Waterston, Buxton and Barrett, and nor is it a history book about the PoW camps of World War II. It contains, of course, elements of all three. It is a tale of survival, endurance, adventure and resourcefulness all bound inextricably to a love of birds. Anyone who has sat miserably at a desk gazing out of the window willing a waxwing to appear in a nearby sorbus has some insight into the minds of these men. This is a fascinating and engrossing book, a perfect Christmas gift, but make sure you buy one for yourself at the same time."

3 Makeup Looks Inspired by My Favorite Albums of 2016
Since I'm a visual person I hardly ever remember the album title but I just remember what the album art looks like.
The red carpet is like my personal Olympics. It's very competitive, and I like to win, even though I'm not up for any awards. As someone who isn't a recognizable face in Hollywood, I feel I must up my game if I'm going to be within a few feet movie stars, supermodels and TV divas who have teams of pros to make them even more photogenic than they already are.
In the case of the recent SAG awards, the red carpet commences at 3:15 pm and ends at 5 pm. We have to be there early in order to get facetime with the media before it turns into a shimmering clusterflock of fame. That means I need to start my prettifying mere minutes after I wake up.
Here's how it went down.
The alarm goes off at 10 am, and although I'm still a bit… um… "rough" from the Entertainment Weekly pre-SAG party the night before, I'm up and in the shower. I wash my hair and make sure there aren't any camera-unfriendly hairs that haven't been waxed, shaved, or plucked.
Twenty minutes later, three sets of hot rollers are warming up, and I, in my Pikachu slippers, run downstairs to the other bathroom, where I always set up my hair station.
After moussing and blow-drying, it's time to run back upstairs to put scalding hot rollers in my hair to get it ready for the updo I also do all by myself like a big girl. (That's another article!) Every inch of the bathroom is used for my red carpet process. Poor Jared has to really dance around me to get ready. BIG HAIR, DON'T CARE.
I always set my hair before doing my makeup, so it can really cool off for maximum curlage. Then, for both greater effect and comedy value, I encapsulate my head in the adorable shower cap that Jared got me for Christmas two years ago.
The car will be coming for us at 2 pm, so my goal is to be ready at 1:30 because we've been invited to our neighbor's house for pre-event champagne. Panic begins to set in. I clear out my hair stuff, place a clean towel down, and unceremoniously dump my makeup bag on it. Then, I create order by separating everything into proper groups. As I go along, I return items to my makeup bag, so I can simultaneously clean up and see how much I've accomplished.
I don't like to wear too much makeup, because HD picks up everything. Luckily, I work hard to have nice skin, so I just use moisturizer, concealer, and pressed powder—no heavy primer/foundation/whatever. You run the risk of looking like a clown.
Ever since I was a little girl, my mother has always used Oil of Olay—just the smell of it reminds me of her. We'll be outside for the carpet gauntlet, so I use Olay Complete All Day UV Moisturizer. I put a good amount on my face, neck (front and back, because of the updo), ears and décolletage.
Concealer is next, and I use a whopping four different types. I don't know if it's my Indian or Italian side (I've ruled out the Polish side) that makes me prone to under-eye darkness (perhaps the champagne from the EW party?), but anyway, they're there.
People often make the mistake of using just one product to battle this problem. I was in the lighting business for 17 years, so I understand that human skin is not all one color. We must blend various colors to look natural. (In lighting, it's called "color correction.") I blend a light, medium, and dark concealer under my eyes to achieve an even tone.
MAC makes an awesome concealer brush, which I lightly dab it into the lightest of my concealers, RMS Beauty "Un" Cover-Up, and dab lots of little points in my darkest areas.
Then, use your ring finger to blend. DO NOT RUB! Just lightly pat under your eyes to mute the hard lines of the dots.
I follow with the medium concealer, MAC Select Moisturecover, and repeat the same process. The center of your face is generally lighter than the outskirts, so I try to even them out.
Lighting is everything. Check your makeup in the sun!
Happy with my sun test, it's time for the last of the concealers. I dab a light highlighting concealer, this time Revlon PhotoReady Concealer, on my brow, around my lips, and in the inner corner of the eye, blending as I go. All of these are focus points that draw others' eyes.
For powder, I use MAC Studio Fix. Because of my naturally Oompa-Loompa-esque skin, I've found it difficult to find products to match my coloring, but MAC has saved my life. Plus, their products have ingredients that really pop when in front of flash bulbs.
First, I use a soft brush to add powder to all that concealing action. I find using a soft brush to dab the powder on these areas not only sets it beautifully, but it also ensures complete coverage. I thoroughly coat the brush, and dab the loose powder under and over my eyes and around my mouth.
Then, I use the round sponge that comes in the compact to do my forehead, cheeks, nose, chin… and ears! Your ears should match your face!
Your neck and décolletage should match your face, too. I use a large soft-bristled brush for this. Coat it with your pressed powder, and apply it in a sweeping, circular motion.
Once all your powder is applied, clean your eyebrows off. They become coated with powder in the last step, and before you move on to your eyes, you should dust them off. I moisten my eyebrow brush with water, dap off the excess, and de-powder my brows.
I love my eyes and try to draw as much attention to them as possible, so nine times out of ten, I do a smoky eye. First, a frosty white for the browbone and inner corner—any shimmering white will do. Be generous, because at the end, when you blend it all together, you'll thank me.
Next, I dot black Prestige Classic Kohl Eyeliner from the outer edge of my lower lid to the middle, and draw a relaxed cat eye on my upper lid. Neither of these lines go further inward than the middle of the eye. Then I blend, using the smudged liner as a foundation for eyeshadow.
I love Stila Eye Shadow in Pewter for my upper and lower lids. I apply it over the smudged liner with an angled eyeliner brush on my lower lid, and with my fingers (of all things!) on my upper lids. Then, for the lower lid, I begin at the outer corner and finish at the center of the eye. It should be a thicker line on the corner, and thinner in the middle.
I use my middle finger for my upper lid because I'm punk rock. I swirl my fingers on the pressed eyeshadow and start out on the outer corners and swirl inward, toward the inner corners. Then, I smudge the lower lid shadow line with my pinky finger, because I'm also a lady.
I firmly dab an angled brush in the contour shadow, L'Oreal HiP High Intensity Pigments Concentrated Shadow Duo in Dynamic. It's brown, with olive and gold undertones (yes, in addition to the shimmery white and sparkly pewter—I promise, it'll all work out). Contour your eye from the outer crease towards the inner corner, then flare up onto your lower browbone from out to in.
Next, I sweep (without adding more shadow) from my lower corner out and up to my eyebrow. I use the same brush to blend everything on my upper lid. Then, I use my pinky fingers to blend my upper lids even further, gently sweeping them from inner corner to outer eyebrow edge. This serves to soften the contour and blend the highlight.
Finally, I use the outer edges of my hands to sweep up along my cheeks to my temples, to wipe away any weirdness, and use my pressed powder to clean up any errant eyeshadow.
This would be a good time to wet your eyebrow brush and de-powder your brows again.
Cheeks are next—MAC Powder Blush in Mocha. I simply smash my brush into it just once and swirl it on the apple of one cheek, gradually up my cheekbone, and dab some onto my temple. Repeat with the other side.
Then, I don't add any more blush, but use the remainder on the brush to contour under my chin, down the sides of my neck, and above my bosom.
I urge you to take your eyeliner seriously. This is the frame of your eyes, people. I use four (again, count 'em, four) for my whole process, and they are all jet-black. We've already used one, involved in the eyeshadow process. Now, I'll use a waterproof pencil for both my lower and upper waterlines. (Non-waterproof liner melts off, gets cried off, or smudges away.) I love Dior Crayon waterproof liner.
I do not one coat, but two. Be very careful, as your eyes are extremely delicate and are the things you see out of. The first layer won't seem like much, hence two coats. After the first, I like to let it sit for a minute, so in the meantime…
I never do a red carpet without a shimmery moisturizer. It helps even your skin tone and defines your muscles. Also, when the flashbulbs go off, the shimmer reflects, and all manner of sins (veins, sun spots, weird tan lines, scars, etc.) disappear, and all they see is luminosity. My favorite: Burt's Bees Radiance Body Lotion.
I'm wearing a wonderful Jovani dress that has a plunging back, so I focus on my arms, back and upper-chest areas. Wash your hands when you're done, as you don't want to get shimmer all over your face while you finish your makeup.
Do a second coat of your waterproof liner on your upper and lower waterlines. Then, liquid liner. (I like Prestige Liquid Eyeliner.)
You'll want to use a mirror you can get really close to—like, uncomfortably, look-at-all-that-nose-hair close. Take your time, and don't panic. Start in the middle of your eye and make a cat eye towards the outer edge. Thinner in the center, thicker on the outside. This is what's known as a "corrective line," and it makes my round eyes look more feline.
When you are done with your liquid liner, use your fingertips to gently pull the trapped liner on your lashes. Otherwise, they'll have liquid liner gunked all up in them.
Next, I use L'Oreal Extra-Intense Liquid Pencil Eyeliner—best of both worlds!—to line over the waterproof liner to set it.
Since I've done a smoky eye, I'm going to do a neutral lip. I want it to be pink, to pick up on the pink highlight stones in my gorgeous Erica Courtney jadeite earrings. Bobbi Brown invented neutral lip gloss, so we'll stick with one of her classics, Petal. Also, her glosses are thick, so they really last on the red carpet.
It was at this very moment that my camera died. So, while it was charging, I applied two coats of black Diorshow Mascara, took all those curlers out, and created an updo consisting of merely 12 pins! (As I said before, that's a whole 'nother article.) Then I put my dress on, and headed out for some champage and carpet posing.
I'm pretty pleased with the result! I'd love to hear if you try this makeup regimen for your next big event, so tweet some pictures at me.
Also, check out this cool new thing that let's you get all the stuff I used in one click! Whaaaaaat?

A Gotcha Question for George W. Bush
Gotcha questions get a bad rap. True, some of them are merely obnoxious ("But Mr. Candidate, didn't you say yesterday that it wasn't going to rain in Kalamazoo?"), but the best ones can trap candidates into acknowledging the weaknesses of their own belief systems--an exercise that surely benefits the body politic. In that spirit, Chatterbox offers up an excellent gotcha question for someone to ask George W. Bush: Should switchblades be illegal?
Right now, it's illegal to carry a switchblade in 37 states. Interstate sales of switchblades are banned by the federal government, and you can't bring a switchblade into the United States from another country. ("Are you carrying a switchblade?" has always struck Chatterbox as the most disorienting question posed by U.S. Customs officers.) Nonetheless, the Internet has created a boom in switchblade sales to the United States, according to an article by Robert Johnson in the March 7 Wall Street Journal. Thanks to its Web site, an Italian switchblade manufacturer called SKM has apparently doubled its sales to the United States every year since 1996. (It even carries a line called "cheap switchblades"!)
Naturally, the inflow of switchblades from overseas annoys the U.S. knife industry to no end. The Journal piece says that Leslie DeAsis, president of Benchmade Knife Co. (which makes switchblades but says it sells them only to cops) is thinking of starting a lobbying effort in some states to repeal switchblade bans. (He is president of an industry-wide trade group.) "You can't have an accidental discharge with a knife, and kill someone in the next room," DeAsis told the Journal.
This rationale is slightly less ridiculous than it sounds. DeAsis is right that switchblades are less dangerous than guns; the technological challenge posed by killing someone with a knife probably helps explain why the juvenile delinquents of the West Side Storyish 1950s killed fewer people than the generation that succeeded them. Today, the juvenile homicide rate is dropping nationally: According to a new Justice department study called "Kids and Guns," this is because of a drop in gun-related juvenile homicides since 1993. Non-gun-related juvenile homicides have mostly held steady during this same period. Can we attribute the productivity drop by teen-age killers to a new preference for low-tech switchblades? That's probably a stretch. Between 1996 and 1997, the Justice department data show about the same rate of decline for gun-related juvenile homicides and non-gun-related juvenile homicides. If juvenile killers are trading guns for switchblades, though, that presents a social problem--not so great a problem as a handgun boom would be, but troublesome nonetheless. According to the Journal, use of knives in killings has already risen from 12.7 percent in 1994 to 13.3 percent in 1998.
So we're agreed: Switchblade use should not be encouraged.
But imagine the pickle it would put George W. Bush in if he were asked whether he favored repealing the laws that restrict use of switchblades. If he answered "Yes" (admittedly that's hard to imagine), he would be advocating the reintroduction of a dangerous weapon to America's youth gangs. (For the right, switchblades don't really inspire the same sentimentality that guns do; colonial militiamen didn't carry them.) If Bush answered "No," however, inevitably he would invite the follow-up question, "Then why don't you favor more drastic restrictions on handguns, which kill a lot more people than switchblades ever will?" (As Bush's Web page on gun laws shows, his idea of gun control is to support "voluntary efforts to equip all handguns with child safety locks.")
Bush could say what he says about the Confederate flag--"leave it to the states"--but that would raise the question of whether the federal ban on interstate switchblade sales, and on switchblade imports, should be maintained.
Over to you, Sam Donaldson.

Nine Massachusetts students are facing charges in the suicide of Phoebe Prince. New York criminal defense attorneys are taking note, as the Massachusettes teens are preparing for a host of charges related to the suicide, ranging from statutory rape to criminal harassment and stalking. Indeed, bullying is not just a Massachusetts problem-- it's a huge problem in New York, as well. A 17 year old West Islip teen was found dead on March 21, and police are investigating the harrassing messages she received, prior to her death.
Unfortunately for the Massachusetts teen, Phoebe Prince, the charges come too late. Prince committed suicide on January 14, when she walked into her apartment building and hung herself in a stairwell leading up to her second floor apartment.
And even in death, she was tormented. Her haters wrote nasty comments on her Facebook memorial page.

Evening in memory of Patsy Farrell
A fundraiser in the memory of the late Patsy Farrell, Teffia Park, Longford town will be held on Saturday, November 24th in the Longford Arms Hotel at 9pm. All proceeds will go towards a Family Rest Room in the In-Patients Ward of the Oncology Unit in Tullamore.
Speaking ahead of the event entitled 'On The Road Again', the Farrell family said: "Anyone who knew Patsy will know she had a passion for music. She was a familiar face on many stage productions throughout the years. She attended St Mel's Musical Society events and she was a keen dancer all through her life.
"We hope that any local musicians available on the night will come and join us in this fundraiser.
"The idea behind the establishment of a Rest Room is that families will have a designated area where they can rest, shower and have facilities to make teas/coffees, thus easing the pressure on the all too helpful staff."
An auction will also play a part on the night with a well known local auctioneer taking bids on a number of signed jerseys. Tickets cost $10 each and will be sold door to door and will also be available at Hair Square, Longford and other local businesses.

H. G. Wells Quotes About SufferingQuotes about: Suffering
Perhaps I am a man of exceptional moods. I do not know how far my experience is common. At times I suffer from the strangest sense of detachment from myself and the world about me; I seem to watch it all from the outside, from somewhere inconceivably remote, out of time, out of space, out of the stress and tragedy of it all. This feeling was very strong upon me that night. Here was another side to my dream.
The crying sounded even louder out of doors. It was as if all the pain in the world had found a voice. Yet had I known such pain was in the next room, and had it been dumb, I believe—I have thought since—I could have stood it well enough. It is when suffering finds a voice and sets our nerves quivering that this pity comes troubling us. But in spite of the brilliant sunlight and the green fans of the trees waving in the soothing sea-breeze, the world was a confusion, blurred with drifting black and red phantasms, until I was out of earshot of the house in the stone wall.
You have only to play at Little Wars three or four times to realize just what a blundering thing Great War must be. Great War is at present, I am convinced, not only the most expensive game in the universe, but it is a game out of all proportion. Not only are the masses of men and material and suffering and inconvenience too monstrously big for reason, but-the available heads we have for it, are too small. That, I think, is the most pacific realization conceivable, and Little War brings you to it as nothing else but Great War can do.

So...as I mentioned when I posted my Bloggiesta idea page...I am going to have my readers edit my work, because I am just horrible at catching my own errors. So as you read my work and catch an error, just drop me a comment on that post and tell me what you found. There are some guidelines I would like you to follow though:
- Dont count (....) those, that is my writing equivalent of an ummm
- Don't critique my writing style please...just the errors in typing, grammar, spelling, punctuation and what not.
Only correct from this post forward. I guess I'll count this one too, but it's probably jacked. I will calculate who comments on what errors and the person who catches the most of my errors gets a prize, I will correct each error and delete the comment that posted it, showing I fixed it and I also counted you. One error per person :)
YOU MUST POST THE ERROR AND WHY...for example:
"I am so sure your happy"
Copy and paste that and then put "your" is not the correct word, should be "you are" or "you're" in a comment with your email and that's it.
Thanks everyone who decides to help, it will help me improve my writing skills and the quality of the work I put out to you! Thank you!
P.S. This is not me trying to slack off and not edit. I totally edit, I just never catch it all, and there are some rules of grammar and such that I just don't know.

U.S. ski jumpers miss medal round
Team members hope their efforts keep sport flying
February 20, 2010
Whistler, British Columbia — It was a picture-perfect day at Whistler Olympic Park.
Blue sky, more than 6,400 enthusiastic fans and hundreds of cameras greeted the field of 50 of the world's best ski jumpers Saturday. Two Americans arrived with hopes of making it into the top 30 and hopes of surprising the world with an Olympic medal. But after Saturday's first official round in the large hill event, the only Americans to move past qualification failed to make the cut.
The Americans' top jumper, Peter Frenette, of Saranac Lake, N.Y., narrowly missed the mark. He placed 32nd — just one spot behind Finland's Janne Ahonen, who was the final jumper to make it into the finals. American Nicholas Alexander placed 40th, and Anders Johnson, the team's final jumper, failed to make it out of Friday's qualification round.
Frenette, however, wasn't complaining after his first Olympics. The jumper, who shares the same hometown as Nordic combined skier Billy Demong, made the top 50 qualifying cut in the individual and large hill events. Alexander also qualified in the normal and large hill events, and Johnson, the final member of the American contingent, made the cut in the normal hill.
"This has been exciting and fun," Frenette said. "It's inspiring to see all of the U.S. athletes get medals, and hopefully the next Olympics, I'll be right there. It played out just like I thought, but it's exciting and has been a lot of fun."
The American jumpers, who have not been supported by the U.S. Ski Team since the 2006 Olympics in Turin, Italy, are dependent on sponsors, their parents and many times their own wallets for funding.

The team exceeded expectations at the 2010 Winter Olympics by qualifying skiers in the two individual events. The team will not get the opportunity to compete in the special jumping team event. To compete in that event, a country must have four jumpers at the Olympics. The Americans have just three.
"It's my first big international competition that I'm competing in, so it's good experience no matter what," Frenette said.
Switzerland's Simon Ammann won the event and wrote a little bit of history in the process. Ammann, who also won the normal hill competition, has earned four career gold medals in ski jumping. He won both the large and normal hill titles at the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City, and repeated the feat in 2010 at the Vancouver Olympics.
"What can I say? I was so nervous up there. This is all very nerve-racking," Ammann said after the event. "I always have this magical force to jump far here, and that is amazing. Truly amazing."
Poland's Adam Malysz earned the silver, and Austria's Gregor Schlierenzauer landed the bronze medal in the final individual special jumping event of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. The final special jumping event will be the team event Monday.

Visual Communications' mission is to develop and support the voices of Asian American and Pacific Islander filmmakers and media artists who empower communities and challenge perspectives. Visual Communications is the first non-profit organization in the nation dedicated to the honest and accurate portrayals of the Asian Pacific American peoples, communities, and heritage through the media arts. VC was created with the understanding that media and the arts are important vehicles to organize and empower communities, build connections between peoples and generations through the development of AAPI film, video, and media. The organization has created award-winning productions, nurtured and given voice to our youth and seniors, promoted new artistic talent, presented new cinema, and preserved our visual history.
Our programming includes: the annual Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival and year‐round screenings and exhibitions; the Armed With a Camera Fellowship for Emerging Media Artists; the Digital Histories media production and digital storytelling program for senior citizens; a Media Development Fund for independent filmmakers; and C3: The Conference for Creative Content. Visual Communications is also home to the VC Archives, one of the largest photographic and moving image archives on Asian Pacific experiences in America. We see media as a powerful tool to create and share meaningful perspectives, and our programs ensure that our communities have access to the resources tell their unique stories.
Established in 2002, the Armed with Camera Fellowship for Emerging Media Artists recruits, trains, and supports independent AAPI artists in their efforts to create artistically and culturally significant short films. Through a five-month program, the AWC Fellowship offers training, mentorship, and funding to up-and-coming artists to create new work that premieres at the annual Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival.
The Digital Histories video production and digital storytelling program for senior citizens is designed for older generations to create and preserve visual stories to be passed down to younger generations. Their works consist of personal and place-based documentaries and other compelling narratives that contribute to the artistic expression and healthy lifestyles of older adults. These films will premiere at the annual Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival.
VC acts as fiscal sponsor for numerous independent film projects and continues to be a resource for Asian American filmmakers in Los Angeles. Filmmakers may apply to VISUAL COMMUNICATIONS for non-profit sponsorship of their project.
The annual Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival (LAAPFF) showcases important new work by established filmmakers, and supports local, emerging Los Angeles talent. The Festival takes place annually during the month of April as part a kickoff to Asian Pacific Heritage Month. The Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival has an annual audience of over 25,000 individuals in attendance at its screenings, educational seminars and artist talks, and other special events.

C3: The CONFERENCE FOR CREATIVE CONTENT
The Conference for Creative Content is a two-day media arts conference focused to provide our creative community a space for meaningful discourse on media and entertainment. With panel and seminar topics covering new media technologies, media platforms, distribution, C3 celebrates creativity and diversity through a forum with established pioneers in entertainment, academia, and professional guilds. Within this intimate space, it our goal to connect our aspiring and emerging content creators with creative individuals leading the charge.
The VC Archives serves as an integral part of our documentary-based production activities as we have documented various Asian American social movements and communities in California. Additionally, preserved films and videos were used for education and organizing work around setting up ethnic studies programs on local campuses, city redevelopment issues, the redress campaign for Japanese Americans interned during World War II, and the declaration of martial law in the Philippines. VC's own past in media, narrative films, documentaries and educational projects are intertwined with the Asian Pacific American movements of the 1970s, and in itself represents a rich resource of the APA movements for students, researchers, and filmmakers.

President Barack Obama holds a commanding lead over Mitt Romney on campaign issues like world affairs and health care, a poll showed Tuesday, but trails the Republican frontrunner on one key front: handling the US economy.
Obama enjoys double-digit advantages on women's issues, protecting the middle class, likeability, and better understanding the economic challenges of the average American, according to a Washington Post/ABC poll, which had Obama winning 51 percent to 44 percent if the election were being held today.
But the survey of 1,103 adults shows that voters, by more than three to one, still see the US economy in a recession, and such pessimism could leave Obama vulnerable in the November election if he is perceived as being unable to turn the country around.
Romney's lead in the protracted Republican nominations race is now nearly unassailable, and the general election is shaping up to be a battle between him and Obama, who is seeking a second term.
Romney is ahead or within the poll's 3.5-percent margin of error on some pressing economic issues that will be front and center in the election.
On handling the economy, Romney leads 47 percent to 43 percent. Romney's lead on handling the federal budget deficit is a more substantial 51-38, while on the matter of creating jobs, Obama nips his rival 46-43.
The president remains well ahead in a range of issues, especially personal traits, with respondents giving him a more than 2-1 advantage on friendliness and likeability.
Romney has a troubling deficit among women voters, with the poll showing Obama trouncing Romney on women's issues 53-34 percent.
But Obama draws negative marks for his acumen on the economy, with nearly half of respondents (46 percent) saying it's a reason to oppose his reelection, compared to 32 percent saying it's a reason to support him.
With less than seven months before the election, the US economy is only slowly pulling out of its worst recession in decades.
The unemployment rate this week dropped to 8.2 percent, a three-year low, but the economy generated just 120,000 new jobs last month, fewer than the 200,000 expected by many economists.

Monroe truck parts plant building new $40M factory near airport
25 May 2017
By Ken Elkins, Charlotte Business Journal
A longtime Monroe manufacturer is doubling the size of its presence with a $40 million truck-hub factory near the Charlotte-Monroe Executive Airport.
Consolidated Metco Inc., which already has about 500 employees at a 220,000-square-foot plant closer to downtown Monroe, will bring 100 additional jobs to the new facility.
Production of the truck-hub and brake-rotor plant, which will supply the Charlotte area's Freightliner plants among others, should start later this year. Much of the foundation for the new plant is already built, with ConMet officials expecting the building to be ready in October.
"The city of Monroe is a critical part of our company," says Mike Swiderski, president of ConMet. Based in Vancouver, Wash., the company makes components for commercial trucks. It has six plants in the United States and Mexico.
ConMet, under another name, dates to 1964 in Monroe.
About 50 local and company officials attended a groundbreaking for the airport-area facility.
The new plant in Monroe Corporate Center will contain 253,000 square feet and will be used to assemble and ship truck hubs and brake assemblies that are made at the current ConMet plant on Patton Avenue.
Incentives from the city of Monroe, Union County and the state total $2.7 million.
Swiderski says an improving truck manufacturing market has ConMet busy with construction at its facilities "around the world."
Jim Keaney, plant manager at the Patton Avenue plant, says ConMet will have more manufacturing space once the new facility is in production.
ConMet is a subsidiary of Chicago-based Amsted Industries, which manufactures railroad, construction and building equipment.
The Keith Corp. is developing the 20-acre site in Monroe Corporate Center, which has room to double ConMet's space there, says Ken Beuley, CFO of Keith Corp.
Choate Construction Co. is the general contractor on the job. Merriman Schmitt is the architect and Burton Engineering is doing the civil engineering work.

You look great in red. It is one of my favourite colours to wear. When I lived in New Zealand, I was very conservative about colour and I think it is because of the cold climate but when you live somewhere warm like I do now, you want to brighten up to match the beautiful blue skies. This is a lovely classic dress and you can down tone it if you want with a black jacket but do wear this dress.

Famous breast cancer survivors
Giuliana Rancic, "E!" host and star of "Giuliana and Bill," announced on "Today" that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 36. Though celebrities have gone public with struggles with breast cancer before, not as many were as young as Rancic. But, as she pointed out, the disease can strike earlier in life as well as later, and other celebrities have revealed their diagnosis in their 30s or 40s. To coincide with Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, here are some of the famous names who fought breast cancer before turning 50.

"It's just all gone." That's what Shawn Burgess, Stone County, Ark., agent for the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service, saw at one stop as he drove the county roads to check on his clients, dodging downed power lines and trees.
"I went to one family this morning. They lost their house and their rent house. The roof is blown off the house they live in," he said. "They lost four barns and can't find any of their stock trailers."
On Feb. 5, a line of storms spawned tornadoes that killed 13 people in Arkansas. Van Buren, Pope, Sharp, Izard and Conway counties were all hard hit.
In Izard County, Extension agent Carroll Prewett was standing amid the remains of the cattle operation of one of his clients near Melbourne, Ark. Wind noise drowned his voice from time to time on a cell call.
"One of my farmers, it blew his barn away," Prewett said. "There are dead cattle everywhere. He has 1,300 stockers here — maybe 200 dead. The fence is down. I just left my office to come out here and see what I could do to help."
Prewett said the power was out and trees were down in the county. The phones at his office were out of order.
In Pope County, Ark., Phil Sims, Extension agent, said damage was severe, mainly in and around Atkins, Ark. "The schools were not hit and are in session today. I thought that was a positive thing to do to normalize the routine for our kids."
Sims said Entergy personnel were coming from Oklahoma to handle downed, but live wires. "They still have power in them, and clean up can't occur until power is turned off."
Sims was trying to check with farmers in the area affected by the tornado, but cell phone coverage was erratic. The main area hit was more row crop production than beef cattle production.
Sims said Extension would help in the relief efforts. "We'll encourage 4-H youth to offer to help people in need."
After the Appleton-Jerusalem tornado a few weeks earlier, 4-H'ers helped elderly and fixed-income residents who couldn't afford to hire someone to pickup debris out of their yards and fields. After that tornado, 4-H'ers picked up stones and other debris deposited in cattle pastures.
Sims cautioned residents about food safety after a tornado. "It doesn't take long for food to go bad when there's no power," he said. The Extension service will provide advice to people in the affected area about food safety issues.
The tornado hit home personally for Sims, who knew three of the four person reported killed in his county. During a county fair meeting shortly after the tornado hit, "we all said a prayer for the victims."
Linda Tanner, Sharp County Extension administrative office supervisor, said her office escaped damage, but "most of the Highland business area is destroyed. The old Ford dealership is gone. There was a barber and beauty shop, restaurant, all kinds of things" were destroyed, she said. "There are homes destroyed and lots of timber."
Conway County Extension agent Tommy Thompson was driving the back roads trying to get to devastated areas to check on farmers. His wife was documenting producer losses with a digital camera.
"The feed mill between here and Atkins was destroyed, and we have tons of chickens that have to have food," he said. "There's going to be barns blown down and hay bales blown away and cattle are going to have to be fed."
The tornado damage was more widespread than the early January twister that hit Appleton and Jerusalem, killing one person.

Nick Lowe has enjoyed a renaissance as a sophisticated crooner after years as a snotty pub-rocker. After running with and producing Elvis Costello and other U.K. new wave acts that he helped presage, Lowe began to concentrate on his roots fascinations in the '90s. Now two decades in, he's become a highly respected elder statesman of Americana. He's always been a canny lyricist , which comes more to the fore in his soulful country songs' lower-key environs. His latest, The Old Magic, features several wondrous tracks, from the mordant rockabilly meditation of "Checkout Time" to the wryly self-deprecating '60s pop of "Sensitive Man."
