Iggy Pop Tickets
Iggy Pop (born James Newell Osterberg, Jr. on April 21, 1947 in Muskegon, Michigan, USA) is an American rock singer, songwriter, and occasional actor.
Although he has had only limited commercial success, Iggy Pop is considered one of the most important innovators of punk rock and related styles. He is sometimes referred to by the nicknames "the Godfather of Punk" and "the Rock Iguana", and is widely acknowledged as one of the most dynamic stage performers of rock. In addition to his solo work and time with The Stooges, he has also collaborated with well-known musicians including David Bowie.
Iggy Pop was the lead singer of The Stooges, a late 1960s/early 1970s garage rock band who were highly influential in the development of the nascent heavy metal and punk rock. The Stooges became infamous for their live performances in which Iggy Pop leapt off the stage (thus inventing the "stage dive"), smeared raw meat and on one occasion peanut butter over his chest and cut himself with broken bottles. Many subsequent performers have imitated his antics. Although he would never revisit the primal vitality of his days with The Stooges, Iggy Pop has had varying degrees of success in his 25 years as a solo artist. His best-known songs include "Lust for Life", "I'm Bored", "Real Wild Child", the Top 40 hit "Candy", and "The Passenger".

Prince Ali, a 6-foot-3, class of 2015 guard from Pembroke Pines, Fla., confirmed an oral commitment to UConn Monday afternoon via Twitter. "It has been a long time coming. I have officially committed to the University of Connecticut," Ali tweeted. The guard, reportedly in the Kevin Ollie/UConn mold (big and versatile), visited Storrs over the weekend.
"I'd classify him as an elite athlete," said Adam Ross, Ali's coach at Sagemont School in Weston, Fla., "and he has the potential to be an elite scorer. He has long arms, can pressure the ball defensively and he's a very good rebounder for his size."

Simulate and export your prototypes
Simulate, export and share your prototypes easily with Justinmind. In this tutorial we will explore how you can do this.
We believe a prototype is the best communication tool between customers/users and the software development team. If you have an app prototype at the start of a project and it is as close as possible to the layout of the final app, the users can be involved from the beginning, giving their opinion and validating it. The more key people get involved, the more successful the project will be as a whole, reducing the number of adjustments on the actual application.
You can find below the many different ways to simulate a prototypes, export it, and share it with users and clients.
- Click the Simulate button or F5 to visualize a prototype simulation together with the users. To enter the full screen mode click on F11. This comes in handy when you want to make changes on the spot and validate them immediately, at the presence of the client or user.
You can also remove the device's frame from view in the Simulation window to visualize the standalone design.
- Export it to HTML. You will find the option in the File menu. Once exported, it's possible to open the prototype in any Internet browser and distribute it to an unlimited number of key users, who will be able to execute and test it. However, please consider that many users have anti-spam filters installed that block e-mails with attached HTML code.
- Export it to images. If you want to show a static design of your future application, you can save your screens as simple images, by clicking on the File menu option "Save as Images".
- Export to document: You can export all the information of the prototype in a specification document in order to integrate it into the different documentation processes of an organization or, simply, to have a document that can be signed.
- Publish it on the cloud. Justinmind lets you publish your prototype so that all authorized users can experience it on their browsers, as if it were the final app. They can collaborate by testing, reviewing and adding comments straight on the prototype. All their comments are registered and centralized so that no details are lost. You can also set up extensive user testing as Justinmind integrates most user testing tools to carry extensive user tests remotely or in person. To share your prototype, you can click on the "Share" button in Justinmin editor, or you can upload it directly from your online account. Learn more in the Online Account tutorial section.

can I export a prototype as a short movie or gif?
Jordick Says :
This functions ara available on macos?
Hey – is there a way to save the HTML file locally to your computer? Or is there a workaround for this when you have a bad WiFi connection??

there are way better abstractions to this and the current package doesnt even work - will be removed in a few months
Browser Mongoose via modul8
m8-mongoose is a modul8 plugin that aims to partially port mongoose logic to the client.
A web application using mongodb on its backend and using mongoose as an ORM layer ends up defining a lot of validation logic on the server. Logic that should be reused on the client. This plugin will export sanitized versions of your explicitly exported mongoose models, along with helpers to utilize this data in a helpful way.
- mongodb
- mongoose
- modul8
Willingness to perform an extra function call when defining your mongoose modules.
Install with
$ npm install m8-mongoose
then require the register function, and register a model with it
var Schema = Schema;var toBrowser = register; User = ;
The output Schema instance is mongoose compatible (toBrowser remembers the extra attributes like
private, but returns an object without these).
On deployment, the plugin will pass back the serialized version of what was passed in above to modul8
var modul8 = var MongoosePlugin = Plugin; ;
An optional first parameter to the MongoosePlugin constructor can be set, which will specify the name of the domain and data key used when exporting. This parameter defaults to 'mongoose'.
Calls to
register() serializes the model to the plugins 'runtime' directory, whereas
MongoosePlugin will read these for modul8.
Code to help auto generate certain form code and validation logic is (soon) included on the
mongoose domain, and will be bundled with the output source if required
by the application.
You can extend the classical mongoose object with certain unused attributes. These work as follows:
private- if true, it this key will not be sent to the client
label- if set, it will be used by formGenerator to construct standard text inputs
labels- if set to array, it will be used by formGenerator to construct a select input
These attributes will be removed before passing the object back to mongoose's Schema constructor.

Marketplace Updated Info
The marketplace is opening this weekend, around a week behind schedule but it's finally about ready to go.
Here is a list of categories. Please let me know if I've left out anything really important. I'd like to keep it simple for starters until the categories fill up again. After that, we can consider partitioning into subcategories further.
Commissions: For Hire (Costumes)
Commissions: For Hire (Wigs)
Commissions: For Hire (Props)
Commissions: Wanted
For Sale: Costumes
For Sale: Wigs
For Sale: Props
For Sale: Other Cosplay Items
For Sale: Non-Cosplay
Again, the non-commission categories are for used items only. No new items are allowed. Please suggest any major categories you think would work best in this setup.
All ads have comments turned on, and you can leave feedback for each user with feedback comments.
There will be no limit of # of ads placed, aside from only one ad per member in each of the "for hire" sections.
There is no longer any current or near-future plan to have upgraded commission accounts. This will be revisited in the future when we can put more resources into them. All members can equally use the marketplace, and other members can deal with the feedback section from there. We'll have an announcement for some paid promotional features that will affect commissioners soon.
There will be two sponsored sections/links in the marketplace, one for new costumes and one going to CosWorx for new wigs. These will be clearly marked as sponsored links and only show up on the main page.
We will keep this forum open for replies for the time being, but new posts will be directed to the marketplace to get it rolling.
I anticipate opening this on Friday or Saturday. This thread replaces the old discussion thread, so please continue any suggestions here by re-posting them if they are topical.

[Authors and titles are listed at the end of the review.]
Wealth and Poverty in Early Church and Society is a collection of works originally presented at a conference on "Wealth and Poverty in Early Christianity" held in 2005. The first book in the series Holy Cross Studies in Patristic Theology and History, it offers a broad collection of papers predominantly discussing early Christian responses to poverty and wealth across the Roman world. Divided into five sections, the volume presents eighteen essays grouped under the titles: "The New Testament Period"; "Egypt in Late Antiquity"; "John Chrysostom, the Cappadocians, and Friends"; "Wealth, Trade, and Profit in Early Byzantium"; and "Patristic Studies for Today". These sectional groupings provide a useful and cohesive way to absorb the wide ranging research presented in the volume. The approaches taken to the topic of wealth, poverty and early Christianity are diverse and the essays vary in their depth of interpretation. Different perspectives are taken, and new insights offered on familiar texts and authors, such as the Shepherd of Hermas and the homilies of John Chrysostom, as well as on less familiar texts such as extant papyri from Egypt. The volume is a welcome contribution to the field of poverty studies, and will be of interest, and use, to both students and specialists in the areas of poverty, society, and religion in the Roman empire and late antiquity.
Part 1--"The New Testament Period"--presents four essays that consider various Christian texts from the first two centuries of the Common Era. In the first essay, S.J. Friesen discusses early Christian analyses of the causes of poverty, using the Revelation of John, the Letter of Jacob (or James), the Acts of the Apostles, and the Shepherd of Hermas. Providing a framework of Roman imperial economic inequality, Friesen identifies four distinct commentaries in the texts that portray both an exploitative and suppressive system that promotes economic inequality, as well as a system of charity and salvation in which economic inequality played an accepted, even necessary, role. Buell, in the second paper, considers those exhorted to give alms and charity in early Christian communities. Using Didache, 1 Clement and the Shepherd of Hermas, Buell proposes that donors and recipients usually seen as mutually exclusive entities could be read as interchangeable. She suggests that impoverished Christians could both be involved in poverty relief and be recipients of it. Thus, she argues that the binary oppositions of rich/poor, donor/recipient presented in Christian rhetoric should not be interpreted too literally. In the third essay of this section, G.K. Hasselhoff, presents a discussion of the reception of James 2:2-7 and its opposition to a social preference of the rich. Discussing Bede's commentary on the text and the earlier patristic interpretations available to him, Hasselhoff questions whether the passage's limited reception can be explained by its radical critique of wealth. Moore offers the final essay and examines the lures of both spiritual and material wealth as allegorized in the Hymn of the Pearl. Through discussion of this text as well as theological commentaries on poverty in a larger eschatological context, he proposes that in gnostic thought poverty was an ignorance, a lack of a vision of God, while wealth was the knowledge of God's all pervasive love and humanity's journey to God's kingdom.
Part 2--"Egypt in Late Antiquity"--deals with different sources from the second through to seventh centuries of the Common Era. Van den Hoek discusses poverty and wealth in the Quis dives Salvetur? of Clement of Alexandria. She argues that in Clement's exegesis of Mark 10:17-31 material wealth was neither a positive nor a negative asset, the liquidation of one's assets was an allegorical reference to one's desire for, and attachment to, money, while the sharing of one's wealth was an important social duty. This interpretation, she proposes, was a landmark in reconciling the wealthy with the Christian community. Brakke's essay considers the semi-eremitical monks of Northern Egypt in the fourth century, and Evagrius's presentation of the values and anxieties that concerned their attainment and use of money and charity, as well as the constant threat of the demon Love of Money. He points out that for Evagrius economic sufficiency, which still enabled charity, rather than economic security, was the eremitic aim. Such sufficiency encouraged an economic vulnerability with fostered generosity, faith and dependence in God. Serfass's essay examines extant papyri and what they reveal about the assistance provided to the needy by Christian communities in Egypt. He discusses papyrological evidence that shows that these communities operated a well organised program that included donations to churches, and by churches, of food, wine and clothing, as well as the activities of various charitable institutions and individuals. These provided, Serfass argues, a responsive system of charity and support in small cities and villages in late antique Egypt. In the final paper dealing with Egypt, Susan Holman considers the seventh-century text Miracles of Saints Cyrus and John by Sophronius of Jerusalem, and proposes that four story-sets rhetorically connect rich and poor within the text. Providing a historical, narrative, theological and social context for the work and its subject, Holman suggests that the text moves way from earlier Christian works through its representation of rich and poor and its focus on humility and equality in healing, revealing in its narrative monastic ideals on humility and social justice.
Four of the five essays in Part 3--"John Chrysostom, the Cappadocians, and Friends"--are concerned with the homilies and society of John Chrysostom. The first essay, by Rudolf Brändle, presents a Chrysostom actively engaged in a fight against poverty. Brändle draws upon his earlier work on Chrysostom, and considers Chrysostom's argumentation of Matt 25:31-46 as part of the preacher's fight against poverty.1 He further extends his discussion to argue that Matt 25:31-46 can be seen to be of central importance to Chrysostom's theology and practices. In the second essay Wendy Mayer considers voluntary and economic poverty in Chrysostom's time. Mayer demonstrates that voluntary poverty was a relative concept that required a personal detachment from, and appropriate use of, wealth. She argues that, in contrast to economic poverty, voluntary poverty conformed to social ideals, and thus became a more attractive recipient of care and benefaction in late antique society. Further she proposes that these differing attitudes towards poverty be considered within our understanding of the shifting role of wealth and poverty in late antique society. Cardman investigates Chrysostom's homilies on Lazarus and the rich man through the lens of the theatre, building upon Leyerle's work in this area.2 She considers John Chrysostom's rhetorical staging of wealth and poverty by reading the homilies as play scenarios. Cardman argues that ambiguities in the preacher's theatre of wealth and poverty serve to diminish his effectiveness in changing his audience's response to the poor. Makris Walsh's essay also deals with the homilies of John Chrysostom. In it Makris Walsh focuses on the preacher's concern with widows, arguing for their important role in the pastoral activities and theology of Chrysostom's church in Antioch. She proposes that the preacher's concern for widows, both wealthy and impoverished, was soteriological, practical and apologetic. In the final essay of this section, D.J. Constantelos focuses on the transition from Hellenic to Christian philanthropy. He presents a discussion of the Hellenic and early Christian backgrounds of philanthropy and proposes that Christianity extended the traditional form of philanthropy both to include individuals from a diversity of backgrounds, and to provide a wide variety of social services.
Part 4--"Wealth, Trade, and Profit in Early Byzantium"--begins with Siecienski's essay questioning the seeming disparity between the wealth of church adornment and architecture and the church's rhetoric towards the wealthy. His discussion demonstrates that the splendor of the liturgy could be justified as a reflection of spiritual truths, making it easier for believers to see true beauty and to be transported to the celestial realm. Daniel Caner turns to voluntary poverty in his paper on early Byzantine monasticism and discusses the practice and obligations of monastic stewardship. Considering sources from the fourth to sixth centuries, including Cyril of Scythopolis, Basil of Caesarea and Barsanuphius of Gaza, Caner presents an in-depth discussion of stewardship, charity and surplus that demonstrates how a flexible notion of a "blessing" allowed even very small quantities of surplus, such as leftovers, to be distributed as charity. In the third essay in this section, A. Laiou considers trade, profit, and the merchant, from the fourth to eleventh centuries, in terms of Christian values and reality. She proposes that patristic teachings sought non-economic behaviour, and that hagiographies reflected this ideal with a focus on charity and the miraculous economy. She further argues that while patristic sources present negative views of trade, profit and the merchant, hagiography presents merchants, their profession, and the marketplace as legitimate and accepted, reflecting their position within Byzantine society.
The first essay in Part 5, "Patristic Studies for Today", by Timothy Patitsas attempts to bridge the gap between patristic beliefs and practices and those of the modern world. He presents a brief discussion of Basil of Caesarea's philanthropic program, modern poverty-relief efforts, micro-lending and the economic theory of Jane Jacobs, and proposes that Basil's program could have relevance for poverty relief in the modern world. The second paper by B. Matz outlines a research project being undertaken by the Centre for Catholic Social Thought, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, that deals with the past and future use of patristic teachings on social ethics in Catholic Social Teaching.
Wealth and Poverty in Early Church and Society provides a valuable contribution to the study of poverty in early Christianity and late antiquity. Several essays offer important insights into the rhetoric of poverty, and the relative nature of poverty in early Christian texts and practices. Papers such as those by Friesen, Buell, Brakke, Serfass, Mayer, Cardman and Caner, are particularly notable for providing critical and insightful readings of the antique material in their treatments of poverty and wealth in early Christian communities. Readers should note that a Christian lens is applied in some of the papers, as is the question of the relevance of early Christian and patristic texts to the modern world. Of editorial note, papers such as Laiou's essay with its focus on merchants and Matz's paper on Catholic Social Teaching, seem somewhat misplaced within the overall theme of the volume.

text:
I was excited to talk to Jeff Baena about his new film, The Little Hours. The movie is, at its heart, for classics nerds, of which I count myself. The source material is the stuff of medieval studies majors at liberal arts institutions. Who else reads Bocaccio's The Decameron, a collection of 100 stories written in 14th century Italy? The Decameron is funny, bawdy, and often ridiculous, and it's the perfect place to find a sacrilegious story of sex and mayhem at a convent.
Despite my enthusiasm for The Little Hours, and writer/director Baena's previous films (Life After Beth, Joshy) I realize in hindsight that calling the movie a film for nerds wasn't a great place to start our conversation. Alas, that's where we began.
What resulted was a frank discussion about making The Little Hours, marketing The Little Hours, and how Jeff Baena would rather not be talking about The Little Hours.
This interview was conducted on the phone and has been lightly edited for clarity in print.
Christopher Zumski Finke: I feel like The Little Hours is a movie for classics nerds. Why did you make a movie out of The Decameron?
Jeff Baena: Did you say it's a movie for nerds?
Zumski Finke: Classics nerds. People who've read Bocaccio in lit classes.
Baena: I guess I made the movie to defy that attitude. I minored in Medieval Renaissance Studies, I read The Decameron in college. To me, it was something that transcended classicism, and was completely fresh and funny and timeless and human, and ultimately something I think is just as applicable today as it was 667 years ago.
Zumski Finke: You shot The Little Hours in secret. Nobody knew about it until it arrived at Sundance. Why did you make it that way?
Baena: I'm not a big fan of people having preconceived notions of films. The idea that a movie is preceded by months of marketing and synopsizing and reviews and any kind of coverage, is ultimately really hurtful to that movie. It hurts the primary experience of seeing that movie. I'm an advocate of trying to keep the movie under the radar as much as possible, so that when you do experience it, you're experiencing it as fresh as possible and you don't bring any baggage to it.
Zumski Finke: What's it like, then, to do press junket interviews like this?
Baena: I'm not a fan of putting it out there, or publicizing it before you actually see it. Unfortunately that's the nature of the beast when you release a movie. But I try to do my best and keep it as under wraps as possible.
Zumski Finke: Would you rather not have to sit for interviews like this one?
Baena: Yeah, I mean, preferably I would not have to do interviews, and be reductive and try to break down the movie into sizable bites. I think, it's ultimately necessary. The market is so saturated that you have to do something to set your movie apart, but the narrative that is created through marketing and publicity is a lot of times counter to the piece that you made, itself.
I understand why it's a necessary function. But personally, if it was up to me, I don't think people should do publicity and I don't think there should be any marketing. People should just be exposed to films. See them, and make their judgments and base them on that experience. It's more of a primary experience, they have a blank slate, as opposed to some idea of what they're getting themselves into.
Zumski Finke: That's interesting because the marketing campaign for The Little Hours includes the response from The Catholic League and others who are upset about the film. What's that been like for you as this film rolls out?
Baena: I think it's a little overstated. This is an independent film so our footprint isn't that large. I think if this was a studio film, if it was something like The Last Temptation of Christ, you'd see protesting and all kinds of handwringing, but because we're a small independent film and we're just platforming this, I think it's a knee-jerk reaction on behalf of the Catholic League. They hadn't actually seen the movie when they declared it 'trash.'
But, obviously I would prefer them to see the movie and judge it. There have been different articles, one was a review in America Magazine, which is a Jesuit publication, that came to our defense saying that there is a place for this and that Catholics are doing themselves a disservice by not exposing themselves to something that isn't just fluff.
There was the Catholic League declaration that the film was trash, without having seen it, and then AmericaNeedsFatima.org started a petition where they got 30something-thousand people to write letters to Van Toffler at Gunpowder and Sky, asking him to not release the movie. Other than that I haven't really heard anything else. To me it sounds like we're getting the minimum amount of fire from the Catholics about this film.
Zumski Finke: The fact that the controversy is being used in the marketing, that it's in the trailer, it's not entirely considered something that's negative for the film.
Baena: I just told them to put that in the trailer and poster because I think it's funny. I'm a big David Lynch fan and when he made Lost Highway, he put on his poster Siskel and Ebert Give It Two Thumbs Down, Two More Reasons to See Lost Highway, and I thought that was really clever. So I figured might as well use it, because it's there.
To me, condemning the movie without seeing it is closed-minded.
Zumski Finke: How much of the movie was improvised?
Baena: All the dialogue was improvised. We based the movie on a 25-page outline, so I basically told the actors what they were going to say in the scene but I didn't tell them how I was going to say it, so we could achieve, I guess, some degree of realism. As the actors were performing they weren't anticipating what the other actors would be saying, and were thus present and listening. I tried that in my second movie, and I liked the results. So I gave it another shot on this one.
Zumski Finke: That was Life After Beth?
Baena: No, it was Joshy.
Zumski Finke: When you're shooting a film that's entirely–or almost entirely–improv, what was that shoot like? You have a lot of actors in the movie, you were in Italy for the shoot, how long was your shoot?
Baena: The shoot was 20 days. I think when you say improvisation, people have the assumption that it's just a lot of alts, and people figuring out the scene as it was going. We had to be very deliberate, we had very little time. And we had only a certain number of locations, and a certain amount of time in each of those locations, so we had to be very economical with our time. It was not too dissimilar from the way that actors work with a script. But the way they get to speak the lines is different. After the third take, we're pretty much doing coverage. It's not like every take was different. There wasn't a lot of room for people to vamp and ad lib and go off on a tangent, it was more a way to find our way into lines that were clearly delineated.
Zumski Finke: Making a movie like this, it's fairly unique. There are other convent comedies, and there's Monty Python. Were there movies you looked to to inspire what you were going for?
Baena: Honestly, no. I just wanted to do an adaptation of The Decameron, so I didn't think of it as emulating any style or any previous work. Truthfully, when we were in Italy we didn't have any wifi, so I wasn't streaming any movies. I didn't have any DVDs with me. So, I really was in a hermetically sealed jar without having any access to any other media.
Zumski Finke: None of the cast had any wifi either?
Baena: We had very little wifi. The hotel we were in, we were in very rural Tuscany, for whatever reason production wasn't able to secure wifi. So it was pretty much just our phones, roaming.
Zumski Finke: What did everybody do? You shot in Tuscany, Italy. There's a lot of folks in this film. I doubt you had a lot of down time, but what did everyone else spend their evenings doing?
Baena: There's wasn't a lot of downtime. We shot in 20 days, which was ambitious for the number of scenes. We had so many setups. So, pretty much, it was eating. There would be lunch, we'd hang out outside the convent in a field overlooking the Alps, and when we'd break in the evening, if we weren't super exhausted, we'd go to town, eat dinner, then go to sleep.
Zumski Finke: Tell me about the locations. They're beautiful. Is that an active convent?
Baena: It was a former convent, from the 1100s, turned into an agriturismo, which is basically a bed and breakfast that's also a working farm. And we had a chapel from the 800s, where all the services took place. We shot at a bridge, also from the 800s. And then there was a castle that we shot in for two days, that was Nick Offerman's castle… all those locations were in an area called Garfagnana, in Tuscany.
Zumski Finke: That seems like pretty much the ideal for a movie like this. You couldn't have wished for something better than getting all these historic locations, I imagine.
Baena: That was sort of the impetus to make the movie. When I told my producer about this movie, she mentioned that one of my producers on my first two movies had been asking people to shoot in these locations, and the investor group didn't have any need for medieval locations, so when this idea popped up everyone got really excited.
Zumski Finke: What's your favorite bit in the movie? Is there something that surprised you?
Baena: The scene where Jemima (Kirke) shows up and the girls all get drunk and hang out. There's a real energy and spirit in that scene that is exactly what I was going for in this movie.
Zumski Finke: What do you hope audiences take away when they watch this movie?
Baena: I hope people feel a bittersweet understanding that history is not something that is distant from us, but is just people in a different time period that were going through very similar things that we go through, and had just as rich an interior life as we do, and that despite the fact there may be differences in technology or political/religious/social structures, we all are coming from the same place, and the only thing separating us is time.

The project consists of three discrete photographic series, each made during the 25th anniversary of the 1984/5 miners strike. Together South Yorkshire coal miners, former and current, are pictured within the landscape, drawing attention to their complex and reciprocal relationship whilst offering an opportunity for Lovell to explore how context and setting can change perception and meaning within photographic portraiture.
Revisiting locations where major political events took place, Lovell's images remind us of life's losses: the loss of an industry, the passing of an era and the departure of communities built on coal.
We Still Stand is supported by a National Media Museum Photography Bursary 2008 .

By Mark John
PARIS (Reuters) - Chancellor Angela Merkel's Social Democrat (SPD) rival in this year's election accused the German leader during a visit to France on Friday of dragging Europe's southern economies into a vicious circle of ruin by insisting on fiscal austerity.
The accusation by Peer Steinbrueck, made after talks with French President Francois Hollande, echoed France's campaign for a re-balancing of euro zone policy to allow more leniency on budget deficits and promote more growth.
Five months before federal elections, it was Steinbrueck's latest attempt to stake out policy differences between himself and the conservative Merkel, whose conservative bloc has a comfortable lead over the SPD in German opinion polls.
"We are very critical about the fact that with this focus on a very rigid consolidation course, many countries are getting trapped in a vicious circle which is weakening their economies," Steinbrueck told reporters in Paris.
"What the chancellor is promoting in European forums is a concentration on consolidation which is damaging the economies of these countries, leading to higher unemployment, lower tax revenues," he said.
He did not name countries but referred to those on the Mediterranean suffering under the weight of debt mountains. Greece and Cyprus are making drastic reforms to cut debt in exchange for EU-backed bail-outs, while Spain and Italy are also undergoing painful austerity courses.
There is speculation that France could be the next country to be caught in the eye of the storm, especially after it conceded it would miss its target of cutting the deficit to three percent of output this year, and with 2013 growth forecast at little more than zero.
But Steinbrueck rejected criticism of Hollande for failing so far to address the rigidities in France's labor market and public spending excesses which many economists say are at the heart of its declining share in world export markets.
"I would ask for a bit more understanding for the fact that in 10 or 11 months President Hollande is not going to make good on all that his two predecessors didn't manage in 10 to 15 years," he said of Hollande's conservative predecessors Nicolas Sarkozy and Jacques Chirac.
There was no immediate French comment after Steinbrueck's meeting with Hollande, but his comments chime perfectly with the line Hollande has taken since his election last May.
"They (the Germans) are sucking up the rest of the euro zone's energy," Emmanuel Macron, a top economic adviser to Hollande, told a conference in Paris late on Thursday.
"We should have an adult debate on the subject of how to use the German surpluses," he said of Germany's trade surplus and its near-balanced fiscal position.
"Shouldn't they provide stimulus?" he asked, echoing a similar call by French Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici that Germany should adapt its policies to help raise growth around a euro zone mostly stuck in recession.

"I went to get coffee and I realized my wallet didn't have any money in it."
That was Rob Hutchinson's first clue that his home had been burglarized. Then his wife discovered her cash and her iPad had been taken.
A burglar had broken into their home and rummaged around while they slept.
"Someone had entered an open window from our kitchen and come in and taken our material while we slept. For this area, [it is] very frightening," Hutchinson said.
In all, four homes along Maple Avenue have been burglarized over the past six weeks.
At one house, they apparently cut the screen to try to open a window. When that didn't work, they broke a pane of glass in the door to open the lock.
So far, the burglars have taken mostly cash and small electronic items.
Residents are on edge, and following police advice to secure their homes.
"Our home's always locked, but I have two [dogs], first line of defense," resident Ernie Giancola said.
Dogs are a help and so are burglar alarms. Hutchinson had one installed immediately after his burglary.
He shudders to think of what might have happened if he had to confront the burglar.
"It was really a shock. The police department in Doylestown Borough is doing a great job. They came out, fingerprinted, they are trying their best," Hutchinson said.

Death of twin sisters who appeared on '50s TV sparks mystery
Detectives in El Dorado County have received calls from around the country offering help to find relatives of twin sisters who appeared in TV shows in the '50s and were found dead last month.
Sheriff's officials have been struggling to find a family member to notify about the deaths of Patricia and Joan Miller, who at one time were entertainers.
In their last decades, the sisters were recluses, isolated in their Lake Tahoe home, sheriff's officials said. It's likely they were dead for several weeks before their bodies were found.
Detectives hoped that publicizing the case would lead them to a relative, and many have taken an interest in helping them solve the mystery, including one woman from Texas who offered to help trace their genealogy, said El Dorado County Sheriff's Det. Matt Harwood.
The 73-year-old twins were found after volunteers arrived at their home for a welfare check Feb. 25 and did not get an answer to their knocks. Deputies later entered the home and found the sisters' bodies, one in her bedroom, the other in a hallway just outside. The cause of death has not been determined, but foul play has been ruled out.
Detectives learned they appeared regularly on a weekly television show, "The Hoffman Hayride," in the 1950s and that they entertained troops at several military bases. But they've found almost nothing about the twins' family.
The sisters always listed each other as next of kin, Harwood said. Detectives believe their parents died some time ago. They've come to believe that neither sister ever married and that they were dependent on each other their entire lives.
"I think they need to have some family know that they're gone," Harwood said. "I think they deserve that."
Anyone with information about the twins is asked to contact Harwood at (530) 573-3015.

Each year millions of companion animals flood animal shelters across the country – most of which have very limited resources and all of which have ever unlimited compassion for animals in need
San Diego (Vocus) March 27, 2008
Spring is a time of new beginnings and that's why the PETCO Foundation is once again launching its annual Spring A Pet fundraiser to benefit animal welfare groups nationwide in hopes of a new beginning for the millions of companion animals they shelter.
Starting Sunday, March 30, PETCO stores nationwide will collect donations on behalf of local animal shelters and rescue groups. The annual campaign will last through May 4.
The PETCO Foundation has partnered with the makers of PEDIGREE dog food who will support the Spring A Pet campaign by donating $1 for each purchase of PEDIGREE products – at PETCO stores or on PETCO.com – of $10 or more.
"Each year millions of companion animals flood animal shelters across the country – most of which have very limited resources and all of which have ever unlimited compassion for animals in need," said Beth Mars, PETCO Foundation director of operations and development. "This is why each spring the PETCO Foundation asks the generous and compassionate pet parents visiting PETCO stores nationwide to make a donation in support of these groups and the animals they shelter."
Approximately five to seven million companion animals enter shelters nationwide every year with approximately three to four million euthanized due to a lack of space or resources to adequately care for them, according to estimates by The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Only one in 10 animals received by shelters has been spayed or neutered.
PETCO customers can make a difference by purchasing Spring A Pet donation cards for a $5, $10 or $20 donation at PETCO stores nationwide or by donating to the campaign online. Customers donating $20 or more will receive a commemorative photo album. Last year, the annual campaign raised nearly $1.7 million with all donations staying in local communities.
To learn more about the PETCO Foundation, visit http://www.petco.com. To get the latest news on anything and everything PETCO – from updates about the company to incredible acts of animal kindness – visit the company's blog at http://www.petconews.com.
About PETCO and the PETCO Foundation
PETCO is a privately held specialty retailer that provides products, services and advice that make it easier for our customers to be great pet parents. We operate more than 900 stores in 49 states and the District of Columbia, as well as a leading pet products and information destination at http://www.PETCO.com. Our nonprofit organization, the PETCO Foundation, has raised more than $41 million since its inception in 1999 to help promote and improve the welfare of companion animals. In conjunction with the foundation, we work with and support nearly 5,000 local animal welfare groups across the country to help find homes for more than 200,000 adoptable animals every year.

Hi Everyone,
So I've been working on a new blog layout/design (please bear with me, it's taking me a while as my HTML skills have gotten a little rusty over the years). For some of you that are members on the Bloggers.com community will know that I've opened up a talk about AdSense.
For those of you who haven't seen it, and those of you that are not part of the community, I'd like to ask:
is AdSense (or similar) worth it? Or is it just annoying when you visit blogs with advertisements on them?
Also, if there are other advertising programs, similar to AdSense, around, please feel free to recommend them. I'm trying to decide IF I want to advertise, and what advertising provider to use.
Thanks Everyone, it's just a short one for now.
But As Always, Stay Tuned!

Take that, losers!
That's the gloves-off message from a trio of billboards that have gone up near the Kodak Theater to tweak anti-Bushites such as Michael Moore, Barbra Streisand, Sean Penn, Ben Affleck, Martin Sheen, Chevy Chase and Whoopi Goldberg on Oscar night.
The billboards, viewable from the red carpet, show a beaming President Bush juxtaposed with the stars. The basic idea: to credit an anti-celebrity backlash with helping re-elect Bush.
"4 more years. Thank you Hollywood!" reads one.
The sore-winner campaign comes from Citizens United, the same org that tried unsuccessfully to prevent "Fahrenheit 9/11" distribs from advertising on TV and then financed Lionel Chetwynd's pro-Bush docu, "Celsius 41.11."
Exec director David Bossie is unapologetic about delivering a strident message on Oscar night, citing "hate-filled" attacks on Bush by the stars.
"It's a not-so-gentle reminder to them that the American people don't take them seriously when it comes to issues of war and peace," he asserts. "John Kerry paid dearly for their support. And I hope that Hollywood supports the Democratic candidate in the same way in 2008."
Bossie says cost of the billboards is about $40,000, but Citizens United is looking to offset some of the expense. It's selling copies, in poster form, on its Web site for $15 a pop.

A young man Amore, who has just made an historic transatlantic flight, goes, with his friend Octave (director Jean Renoir), to a shooting weekend presided over by the husband of the woman he is in love with. But the manners and 'rules of the game' of the group of people in the party begin to crumble.

WALL TOWNSHIP –Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) Chief Administrator Raymond P. Martinez today joined NASCAR driver Ryan Truex, the Truex family and others in the racing community at Wall Stadium to unveil the state's new line of NASCAR-themed license plates. The 12 plates honor the sport of auto racing and popular drivers, including New Jersey native and NASCAR Sprint Cup series driver Martin Truex, Jr. (#56).
"When Governor Christie signed the sports plate legislation earlier this year, he recognized the overwhelming popularity of motorsports and the desire of New Jersey racing fans to show their pride on their vehicles," said Martinez. "With NASCAR hosting some of the most highly-attended sports events worldwide, we are confident this new series of plates will be a huge success."
The MVC is offering a general NASCAR fan plate and 11 driver plates through the mail with order forms available online at www.njmvc.gov/sports or at any one of the MVC's 42 agencies. Plates are $60 for an initial purchase with an annual renewal fee of $60. Personalized NASCAR plates are also available for purchase. Revenue generated from the sale of the plates will go to the state's General Fund.
There are 12 plates in the NASCAR series:
- A general NASCAR fan plate
- A commemorative Hall of Fame plate for Dale Earnhardt
- A Kevin Harvick plate
- A Tony Stewart plate
- A Ryan Newman plate
- A Martin Truex, Jr. plate
- A Jeff Gordon plate
- A Mark Martin plate
- A Kasey Kahne plate
- A Dale Earnhardt Jr. plate
- A Matt Kenseth plate; and
- A Jimmie Johnson plate
Officially licensed NASCAR plates are now available in 10 different states and six more states will add the program in the next two years.
Over the next few weeks, the MVC will begin offering other sports license plates for fans of the NHL, NBA, MLB and NFL.
"The sale of sports plates is a win-win for the state as it allows fans the unique opportunity to show their pride while providing another valuable source of revenue," added Martinez.
Today's event was held at Wall Stadium, home of auto racing at the Jersey Shore for more than 60 years and the historic Turkey Derby. Martin Truex, Jr. won the event when he was just 18 and Ryan is scheduled to race in this year's Derby.
The youngest Truex driver will be racing in the #14 NASCAR Whelen Modified car owned by Don Ling Sr. of Brick Township and Dick Barney of Lakewood (both Ocean County). The car was on display at today's event along with the #11 Street Stock car owned by Carl Thomas of Manalapan, Monmouth County. Thomas will also be racing this car at this year's Derby.
The 37th running of the Turkey Derby, which will take place on Nov. 26 and 27, is being organized, promoted and managed by the Ling and John Blewett Jr. families, who have been racing icons at Wall Stadium for some 40 years.

Filling Up
There has always been a major debate among iPhone and iPod Touch users since their earliest incarnations: does filling then draining your iPod Touch's battery when you first purchase it extend your iPod Touch's battery life? The search to extend the iPod Touch's battery life has taken people to their most creative, and sometimes bizarre, ends. The internet is littered with different tips for extending the iPod Touch's battery life, but over all of these methods for extending battery life, the bottom line has simply been in lowering the overall energy use by the iPod Touch. The only tip that tends to stray from this model is one that suggests filling then draining your iPod Touch's battery will improve battery life. Here is a look into this filling and draining rumor to see if there is any truth to it.
- slide 2 of 3
The Logic
The logic of filling then draining your iPod Touch battery to improve battery life is around the idea that you need to properly weather the battery in your iPod Touch. This process is actually recommended by Apple under the idea that for "proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it's important to keep the electrons in it moving occasionally." What this really means is that they want you to go through a complete battery cycle about once a month and actually recommend that you set a calendar reminder for this. This is still a relatively vague set of reasons for filling then draining your iPod Touch battery to improve battery life, but it is still recommended. This idea is not, on the other hand, usually present amongst the tips for extending battery life en masse as it is not usually recognized as a likely scenario for extending the life of your iPod Touch battery.
- slide 3 of 3
New iPod Touch
If you are going to go through the process of filling then draining your iPod Touch battery to improve battery life, you should do this right out of the box. When you first get your iPod Touch, charge it so that it is completely full and then engage in standard iPod Touch use. Let it drain completely and shut off on its own before putting it in for a regular charge. Make sure that you format and upload music to your iPod Touch on the very first charge and do not charge your iPod Touch on a wall charger the first time around. This will allow you to actually have content to use to drain your battery life. Beyond the first time you fill then drain your iPod Touch's battery to extend battery life, you are not going to find that this is a very pertinent option for extending the iPod Touch battery life. Instead you should be focusing on darkening your iPod Touch's screen, keeping Auto-Lock on when you are not using it, and keeping your iPod Touch out of extremely hot or cold areas.

In Grimm Legacies, esteemed literary scholar Jack Zipes explores the legacy of the Brothers Grimm in Europe and North America, from the nineteenth century to the present. Zipes reveals how the Grimms came to play a pivotal and unusual role in the evolution of Western folklore and in the history of the most significant cultural genre in the worldathe fairy tale. Folklorists Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm sought to discover and preserve a rich abundance of stories emanating from an oral tradition, and encouraged friends, colleagues, and strangers to gather and share these tales. As a result, hundreds of thousands of wonderful folk and fairy tales poured into books throughout Europe and have kept coming. Zipes looks at the transformation of the Grimms' tales into children's literature, the Americanization of the tales, the qGrimmq aspects of contemporary tales, and the tales' utopian impulses. He shows that the Grimms were not the first scholars to turn their attention to folk tales, but were vital in expanding readership and setting the high standards for folk-tale collecting that continue through the current era. Zipes concludes with a look at contemporary adaptations of the tales and raises questions about authenticity, target audience, and consumerism. With erudition and verve, Grimm Legacies examines the lasting universal influence of two brothers and their collected tales on today's storytelling world.The Magic Spell of the Grimmsa#39; Folk and Fairy Tales Jack Zipes. This book ... Every culture formulates something that might be called a connective structure. ... This connective structure is the aspect of culture that underlies myths and histories.

Defining Big Data:
There is a lot of information floating around right now about Big Data, its benefits, how it can be dangerous to use, how it's completely useless after all, etc. Most of these articles barely define Big Data, or stray away completely from the subject despite telling you how "Big Data Can Benefit Your Business." We're here to clear things up a bit, and help you decide whether or not to incorporate Big Data into your marketing strategy.
Big Data is basically any system that processes/analyzes large sets of data -platforms such as Google Analytics, and even Google's search engine itself (after all, Google is the original Big Data company, according to Search Engine Watch). Google's search engine gathers key words from content around the web, which influences your findings when you type a phrase into the search engine. This is why content with strong SEO is essential if you want your business to rank in Google's "social value" scale. The stronger SEO content you have, the more visible you are, and the more traffic your site and business will get.
Benefits and Challenges
Big Data can come from pretty much anywhere – mobile devices and computers across the world. The information comes in large quantities, across multiple channels, at a speed where basic technology would not be able to process it as quickly as platforms intended to sort through Big Data. According to 360i, "Marketers who successfully measure what matters within this influx of data will realize greater marketing efficiency and ROI, and identify opportunities to advance their brands' offerings and positioning." So as long as you know how to break down and analyze the data, you can use it to your benefit. The challenge is knowing what information is useful, and what information you can throw away. Big Data can enable brand marketers to understand and measure the impact of their online efforts, effectively target the brand's audience based on an analysis of the data (location, gender, age, interests, time spent on different channels), and correctly allocate brand marketing dollars to effective social media initiatives, leading to a greater ROI (Business Insider).
Big Data clearly has a lot of benefits to the business side of things, but beware of the hidden dangers. Mashable points out that consumers' personal information can become part of the Big Data collection, which leads to issues surrounding consumer trust, which is essential to good business. As Big Data becomes more effective, privacy and data security are being called into question. Therefore, if your business wishes to use Big Data, having a strong safeguard for the information is important for maintaining a strong business to consumer relationship.
Ultimately, Knowledge is Power, and if you know how to harness it, Big Data can be an extremely valuable marketing tool for your business – just be careful to use it for Good, not Evil and your brand can be successful while maintaining strong client relationships.

I've only read a handful of Stephen King novels, but 'Gerald's Game' just so happens to be one of them. I liked the novel without overly loving it. It had a memorable ending, but the story was a little bland for my liking. I've heard people say it's one of their favourite King novels and also heard people say it's one of their least favourite, so it's clearly quite a polarising novel. I was excited when I heard it was going to be made into a movie though. I almost always enjoy King movie adaptions and was very interesting to see how they went about the ending I spoke of earlier. It is very rare that I enjoy a movie more than the book version (almost to the point that I can't think of a single example before now), but this is almost certainly a case of that.
When you think of a movie where the plot involves a woman tied to a bed for almost the entire run time, you would think they would scraping the barrel to reach 90 minutes. Instead they comfortable cruise to 103 minutes and it never really feels that stretched out.
All the classic traits of King's work are featured. The well, the eclipse etc. Even the vibe just inexplicably feels like it's directly from his work. Director Mike Flanagan has once again done a fantastic job. He really is becoming a sure sign of a quality film.
The whole cast was admittedly excellent, but it would have to be said that Carla Gugino carried the film. I wasn't too sure with her casting whether she was right for the role, but she proved me wrong to have any doubts. It would not have been an easy role, you're effectively being asked to carry the film on your shoulders, but she nailed it.
I'm really glad this turned out so well. It's a smart, thought-provoking and moving story of survival that actually works better in film form than it did in book form. It's a great time to be a King fan right now, that's for sure.

I've only read a handful of Stephen King novels, but 'Gerald's Game' just so happens to be one of them. I liked the novel without overly loving it. It had a memorable ending, but the story was a little bland for my liking. I've heard people say it's one of their favourite King novels and also heard people say it's one of their least favourite, so it's clearly quite a polarising novel. I was excited when I heard it was going to be made into a movie though. I almost always enjoy King movie adaptions and was very interesting to see how they went about the ending I spoke of earlier. It is very rare that I enjoy a movie more than the book version (almost to the point that I can't think of a single example before now), but this is almost certainly a case of that.
Contains all the pain and heart of the novel
Ten out of ten. Other viewers can complain all they want about this film being 'tedious' or 'bland', or slightly missing the mark or opportunity, but I strongly disagree. Makes me wonder if they got the true point of the novel, even. Stephen King is NOT a horror writer, so much as he is a writer of characters and extraordinary events that they go through, and most importantly, he writes about the deep emotional experiences that people endure in their lifetimes here on this earth. He tends to throw in dark elements, to be certain, and some of those are downright creepy, frightening, or straight-up horrific; this does not make him a horror writer. And anyone expecting a horror film here will subsequently be disappointed and, I guess, apparently bored. I was not bored, I was riveted the entire time. It's not easy to do what Mike Flanagan does with this adaptation. He nails the mental struggles and fractured psyche of the main character, Jessie, under the strain of what she faces. He also delivers on the heart of King's story, which isn't the present situation she finds herself in as an adult, but rather, dealing with secrets and ghosts from her past that have haunted her all her life, without her truly even knowing 'til her current situation arises. It's a beautiful novel of pain, suffering, secrets, abuse (on multiple levels, by multiple people), and the struggle to not just survive, but also heal and thrive, if possible. Flanagan's film captures the heart of King's story, and it is beautifully rendered, and many scenes are equally visually stunning. I cried at the end of the movie. Bruce Greenwood and Carla Gugino turn in excellent performances, among the best I've seen from both of them. Henry Thomas is equally and fittingly gross. Very well done. Even younger Jessie, played by Chiara Aurelia, was exacted with nuanced grace and heartbreak. This is just a terrific movie. And I find every scene featuring Carel Struycken to be extremely creepy, so I'm not certain how other reviewers find this movie lacking in creep value. I just can't disagree more. I love this movie, it's instantly and already in my top fifteen, maybe even my top ten favorite films of all time. Well done. I'll be watching this one more than once.
Gerald's Game was surprisingly more introspective and less gruesome than I imagined.
Gerald's Game was surprisingly more introspective and less gruesome than I imagined (except one particularly cringe-worthy scene). From a viewer who didn't read the Stephen King novel the film was based upon, I went into the Netflix original prepared to be disturbed. The film doesn't waste time getting you to the meat of the story. From the start Carla Gugino gives an emotionally powerful performance as Jessie – a mentally abused victim struggling to repair a failing marriage - that sets the tone for the rest of the film. The reluctance she shows toward her husband Gerald (Bruce Greenwood) forces you to never sit comfortably as the plot begins to be painted.
One of the great strengths of this movie was answering the questions you were going to ask before you asked them. Understanding from the beginning that Jessie was to end up handcuffed to a bed throughout the entirety of the film already had me questioning her inability to escape. As soon as you see her situation play out and begin to think of her options, the writers provided answers as to why that isn't possible in a unique and believable fashion. With the multitude of challenges she has to overcome she is forced to relive her disturbing past, which in-turn must help her overcome her shackled state if she is to even have a chance of surviving.
The use of symbolism in this film is constant, but so much so that at times it seems to spell it out for you, or literally tell you. I felt the comparisons between her current situation and her past was a bit too blunt. I would've called for a little less hand-holding and a bit more mystery surrounding the connections that were made between the men in her life. Yet one of the most obvious symbols - the blood- red eclipse – was one that surprised me the most as its representation transforms into a powerful message of strength.
The anchor for this film was Carla Gugino and her amazingly powerful performance with a great showing from co-star Bruce Greenwood. The dialogue and thought process that unfolded from the two kept me emotionally entwined in the story and eager to find out what would happen next. Along with fantastic performers, Gerald's Game was made better with the subtlety of the soundtrack and cinematography. I was more impressed at the times where there was no music playing at all, which seemed often and was appropriate. It built suspense and kept focus on the current scene when all the viewers were left with was the disturbing sounds of her struggle. The eclipse as mentioned was a favorite of mine. The deep red ring emphasized the horror of events unfolding, yet transformed with the character and began something greater.
Even after the movie was finished I found myself thinking over the message that was left for the viewers to contemplate. It was one that I didn't expect and was glad to see at the same time. Gerald's Game was a fantastic physiological thriller that never had me shaking my head in un-believability. I enjoyed the restraint of music in key moments, and was enthralled by the situation presented. This makes two Stephen King adaptations that have nailed the difficult process of transforming a story from a book to film. JordanRoss gives Gerald's Game:

HAIR BATTLE: Lee Min Ho as Gu Jun Pyo vs G-Dragon as himself
It's Hair Battle of the Curls! This week in the hair arena is Boys Over Flowers' Gu Jun Pyo (Lee Min Ho), the heir of Shinhwa, and the leader of K-pop group BIG BANG, G-Dragon! It's up to you to decide who takes the crown of best hair curl.
As you can see, Jun Pyo opted for a more man-made curl, achieved by way of curling iron and extreme-hold hairspray. GD, on the other hand, is going for a more perm-made loose, Bohemian curl style.
Can Rain and Krystal overcome a tragic past to find new love? Find out in My Lovable Girl
As the heir to Shinhwa, having a more polished curl style is important. Jun Pyo prefers to wear a curl style that frames his face, yet stays out of his eyes. On the other hand, GD styled his curls to draw attention to the width of his hat with no care in the world for his vision.
So what do you think? Who rocks their curly hairstyle the best? #TeamJunPyo or #TeamGD

Mohs Hardness Scale: 7.5-8
Cleavage: 3, 1
Fractures: Uneven to Conchoidal
Luster: Vitreous
As a gemstone, Aquamarine has always interested me. There is something soothing about its clear connection with all things sea, ocean and still, clear water. It has a gorgeous blue colour, and it amazes me that planet earth can produce stones of these colours. The stone in my collection is a rough stone, not cut or polished with opaque cyan colouring. It has no other colours running through it, and the crystals reflect the light in a mesmirising manner. It is about 2 cm tall by 3 cm long.
The name for this gemstone is derived from the latin word, 'aquamarina' for being of the sea.
Aquamarine is a blue, or cyan form of the gemstone Beryl. These stones are generally a light blue, and deeper blue versions are called Maxixe. The iron ions within the stone give the fresh light blue colour. The relative combination of different iron ions controls whether the stone is classified as Aquamarine, Maxixe, Heliodor or Yellow Beryl. The colour does fade in sunlight. In terms of clarity, stones that are clear rather than opaque and are free of visible inclusions are more valuable. Aquamarine is relatively easy to mine so these stones are widely available meaning that you are able to shop around for what you want. A lot of rough gemstones are more opaque and look similar to a lot of waxy calcites.
The stones are predominantly comprised of Beryl, but also contain Aluminium, Silica and Iron.
Common places where this gemstone is found is Sri Lanka, Madagascar, Kenya and America.
The gorgeous cyan colour of Aquamarine and its ease of accessibility make a lot of these stones inexpensive and favoured for jewellery. There are a lot of pieces that do sell for a lot more money, with this being a semi-precious stone. It has a good grading system, and value is based of depth of colour as well as clarity. Most jewellers will sell inexpensive and expensive pieces.
Aquamarine is the stone of 'courage', can provide emotional and intellectual stability and creates balance and order. It may pay to keep this stone somewhere that you feel is dominated by disorder. For me this would be our pantry, although having Aquamarine sitting on one of the pantry shelves may seem a bit out of place.

Captain William Kidd may or may not have been a pirate. He was a privateer for sure, attacking French ships on behalf of England. His trial for piracy and execution were probably more political than anything, and surviving documents that were mysteriously missing at his trial point to his innocence. His career was not very lucrative at any rate, and he was plagued by bad karma. His crew did not respect him.
But according to hearsay, Captain Kidd, upon learning that he was wanted for piracy, buried a substantial amount of treasure somewhere, hoping to use its location as a bargaining chip for his freedom. His gambit failed, and he was hanged on May 23, 1701. Actually he was hanged twice, since on the first attempt the rope broke, which under some jurisdictions would have been considered an "Act of God" proving his innocence.
Captain Kidd spent his career trying to do the right thing, but his bad luck led him to a probably undeserved fate. But thanks to him we have the classic pirate trope of buried treasure.
