How the way the mass thinks affect the groups in making decision? Ideally it shouldn't since the group is supposed to make a weighed, calculated and balanced decision, not swayed by the 'mood' of the population, unless it is called for. But do they?
This is the age of wide all pervasive social media, and all the people as well as their ardent followers are looking everywhere for the feedback from mass (like and dislike buttons) and that makes the the outcomes to be heavily influenced. It is not only the politicians who have to look at these signals and modify their policies and speeches, even the courts are not immune. They might not change their stand entirely, the guilty remained guilty of the same charges and were not acquitted or the innocent punished, due to mass outcry, but the degree of punishment had most certainly been colored, and in a few cases, that is even on record. I have even noticed that sometimes the judgments were biased, by hardening the stand (ego?) against the public or softening in support. But I won't take those blips in my radar, anyway they are rare enough to be the exceptions to prove the law (of the land). It is of course by the courts, who could afford to do it, politicians are not that immune.
But is it right? When we look at the response of the populace, it is short term outlook and corresponds to the current mood. However, the expert group should be looking towards something more substantial, and the effects of decisions in a long term.
- When a political cabinet meets for a policy decision, it is for something that would have consequences a few years down the line.
- When a court pronounces a verdict, it is not only for the defendant, but also it is a message to the people in general, that if a certain act is done again in future, what could be the result.
- When a company board meets, it formulates policies, which would guide the company for next few years.
If the ministers start following the short-term public sentiments, courts start considering the defendant as an isolated individual (hence the verdict that they pronounce would be an act in isolation and won't affect others), the company board takes policy decisions based on the demands of the labor unions, the systems are doomed. It is not because the demands of public, society or labor unions are wrong, but because they are with narrow and short-term outlook.
How much these short-term mood swings taper off, or may be even reverse, as the time moves forward by a few years? Do the new crowd, consisting of new members and the old ones, senior by a few years, think of the situation and the decisions in same way? They do have a precedence to look at and they know the mistakes committed and right things done. But if it wasn't there? Had that particular incident happened now, would they have reacted the same way? Or what was right them is now wrong, or at least sub-optimal?
Probably so, after all Odin, one of the most revered deities of ancient times, was equated to Devil by Ingmer Bergman in The Virgin Spring (1960). Obviously with no one to take up the cause. Of course he proved what was said by Prof Luke Timothy Johnson "Early Christians frequently misinterpreted virtuous gods as demons. It is impossible, not to recognize that paganism is the furthest thing possible from the demonic. It is indeed a form of religious expression from which we can learn much, and at the very least we need to respect." Bergman proved, through his movies, that it was not only the early, but even current ones think of them as demons.
But that was after a millenium after all the defenders had been removed. I am not talking of such a long time, What about the outlook towards things in general, when the crowd have aged by a few years? And of course things are not that grim now, again, thanks to a few movies like "Thor" and the comics associated, where the pagan Gods are no more demons, only aliens.
Are the so-called experts too affected by the mood swings of the society, or are they immune, being experts and people with far outlooks? If they are not immune, are they at least partially immune or they float along with the stream, gathering whatever floating by them, rather than making an effort to swim against, or at least across, to reach a particularly tasty fruit hanging just in the reach?
I used my own non-patented method to look at it, through movies.
Any movie is made based on current mood of the population. Unless that is catered too, it is doing to be a dud in the box office, which no producer and financier would like. This mood however could be
- As per the current situation in the society, or
- Completely opposite to it, the Utopia, people want to be in,
- Or a means to escape, to help forget about it.
- Or situation twisted in favor of certain agenda.
At different time of the history we would see one or the other having a small but significant edge over other.
- There were times when audience lapped up Mobster movies;
- The feel-good movies and musicals, who especially at difficult times were using weighbridges to count cash collected in the box office;
- In the time of great depressions, we had the hero and heroines struggling and making good
- And of course, we had the one which had most nincompoop, inefficient, brutal and stupid foreigners. Depending on the time, they could be Nazis, Soviets, Vietcong, Libya, Iraq, North Koreans… but all of them shared the same stupidity and brutality. Our protagonist is obviously highly outnumbered, almost pure white (not necessarily but most often, in skin color too), though he would be in general a nervous wreck, and due to it he might stray occasionally, though temporarily, into grey areas.
Like general audience, I too am a commoner, and hence similarly prejudiced, but in opposite direction, being an iconoclast. Frankly I rarely watch any of these unbalanced movies. I don't have any particular reason to watch these genres of movies either. My patriotism doesn't goad me to watch the Americans (or British of MI6) with individuals of IQ- 300 meting out justice to a bunch of Russians or Cowboys/ Frontiersmen doing the same with Apache Indians, in each case, the combined (not average) IQ of the villains is around 100. I don't really blame them in this white vs black (some time skin too) fight, the IQs have to be unbalanced if 300 has to fight against 30,000 of Xerxes. I prefer the Meet the Spartan over the 300, where the IQ levels of the two combatants were most certainly matching – and of course it has the playmate in it, who has an extinct fly (of all things), named after her. It is not limited to any particular wood though, all the Indian woods, at least including obviously and prominently Bollywood, too have lapped it up. Long back Jai and Veeru did it against scores of retarded people of equally retarded Gabbar Singh and it happens in almost all movies where there is a villain.
Talking of the IQ, I had come across a funny reading "Scientific" analysis on IQ by a pair of British and Finnish Professors, who claim to be Professors, and seemed to have missed that I in the IQ stands for "Intelligence" and has nothing to do with the color of the skin and the national poverty. For my part, I will ignore the prejudiced.
Anyway, as I said, I don't watch the Cold War, Vietnam, WW-II etc. movies, and limit myself to the good movies, (what I think are good movies). If any of the movies related to war that I watch, it is about the veteran's adjustment in the society, more of a psychological adjustment angle, though not many of them have much to recommend either (e.g. First Blood). But the mushrooming of the movies of specific subjects, in specific time-era does give the mood of the particular nation on those periods.
Obviously as the time changes, the mood too does, and so does the theme of movies. Best way to gauge the mood of the people would be to get the Hit to Flop ratio of subjects for each of the time-range. But that would be massive exercise. Getting the list of the movies of a year won't be difficult, but then each is to be analyzed on the theme. Also I have to know that the flop was for audience rejection of the subject or was it because their favorite was badly treated and mauled by the director and actors. If I take say a fifty-year period to study, this exercise would take may be a couple of years. If that isn't bad enough, most of these, especially the flops, won't have their names in the web, leave aside the nut-shell story.
I didn't dare to attempt such an extensive job, and decided on a shortcut. Obviously, even the top production houses won't go against the flow and produce the movies that are not related to the prevailing mood. To compound the matter, fortunately in the same direction, any jury sitting for evaluation too would have similar mental frame. Why don't I look at Oscar winners of the years and make a list of these? Probability is very high that the awarded movies of the year would reflect public sentiment. Fortunately, the Oscars follow the box office more closely than the Indian National Awards, where the Noir movies, which could go diametrically opposite to the money churners would garner the medallion, probably the Filmfare awards would be more in the moods of the Oscars.
So, my first premise is that the Oscars reflect the mood of the year. But there are multiple Oscar awards. Probably the best measure would be the 'Best Film', the subject matter encompassing the whole. But there would be some other soft hints too, like Director, Actor and Actress, who too could help the mood. This year (2017)'s results, though a bit too apologetic of last year, amply prove the wind of what the system wants.
Note it need not be what the public wants. They may or may not want it, but they definitely won't hate it, and make it bomb in box office. The system here is the top brass of the film fraternity, not the viewers. These are the people who decide whom to award. Our, the viewers' responsibility is only to get the movie known enough (through number of footfalls in the theater) to win it a nomination.
The system has declared that it prefers a specific behavior pattern, but do the public listen and follow their dictate? Are the Oscar winners replicating the behavior in box office? We know that these are not the greatest hits of the years, though they are money earners. For example, this year's top movie, Moonlight has grossed around 30 million, one tenth of the loser, La La land, indicating that though the public didn't wholeheartedly agree with the Bosses, but didn't go totally against either, since even the awarded movie was a box-office success. This feature isn't limited to this year only, and could be seen quite often that the prize winners and box-office winners have disconnect.
To gauge the public perception, instead of Box office, I used another metrics, the votes available on the websites, for example IMdB. This would directly give the measures of what the viewers think of La La land (8.5) vis-à-vis Moonlight (7.8). But even this score is transitory and keeps on changing as the viewers jump at new toys (movies). I remember Bahubali, in the initial stages had as high as 9+ but now is down at around 8.3. Not that it deserves it, in fact it certainly doesn't, but this is a measure of public opinion, and I as an individual isn't supposed to force my judgement down the throat of others, and veto the IMDb marks.
To make the matter more complicated, for me, I looked at the AFI list, the 100 years 100 movies. This is based on group of "Experts" who have looked at the movies (not necessarily watched) and decided which of them have the special ingredients. This data could be easily matched with the Oscar awards, since both are (supposed to be) by experts, and the same criteria (of being box office success) applies. The groups chosen to judge the movies, and cast their votes are experts with similar qualifications, for both the long term and the annual. Probably there would be quite a few persons, common in the two sets of experts. Of course, there is one major difference, the movies of say 1940 were judged by the experts of 1940. But when it comes for the best of the century, it is by the expert of today, a few may be old, but certainly not old enough to be young in 1940.
IMdb also suffers from a similar problem here. The people usually put their votes after watching the movies, and mark their opinion on the ballot. In addition they are sometimes influenced by some other factors, for example group dynamics, personal opinions etc. For example, when I go to watch a movie of Kurosawa, Bergman, De Sica or Chaplin, then aware of the director's name, my impressions about the movie would not be entirely unbiased. One of the best examples of bias may be the change in IMDb ratings before and after a movie gets an Academy or Palme d'Or award. Due to this reason, whether it is IMDb score or any award, a total disconnect from the personalities associated too is not practically possible.
IMDb tops would most certainly be from current era. However, the method of dynamic evaluation has a strength. It averages over time. If I disregard the current breed of movies, (say about 5 years), then the law of averages would take over, and the movies would slowly settle in their grooves, where audience, and not experts, would like to place them. When I look at old movies, then the IMDb score would tell me the longevity of the movie, whether it is a wine, perfectly aging and retaining its flavor, or a soda bottle, which had given out a huge fizz, and is now completely flattened.
The personality cult and the bias due to it probably is equally disruptive in the expert's psyche. I am not an expert, but if I ask myself to make a list of the best movies of the last millennium, how would my thought process go?
If it is a short list, it would be easy, I will go by memory of the movies directly. The one I have seen, or the one I have heard been talked about highly, provided they suit my taste – no war, no apache, and no mobsters.
But if I am asked to make a list of very few (say best three) or a large list (say 50 movies) then it would become complicated. After the first dozen, my thought process would take a particular route (This may be different for others). I will go by personalities. I might first take up Chaplin (if he is my favorite), and list his movies, which I have (or should have) watched, may be then I will take Korda. Of course, in racking up the brain, I would not limit myself to Directors, the actors and actresses too are there to suggest the list. Leigh, Garbo, Ingrid, Hepburn(s), Bette, Loretta, Gable, Grant… each of them will suggest me names of the movies to include. From that list, I would remove a few if it has overshot the target figure, or go to the web (a beautiful tool available today) if the count is short. I am sure the experts too are not going to work in much different manner.
Anyway, coming back to the topic, I thought of comparing three metrics (IMDb Score, AFI-100 ranking and the Oscars won by the movie). My aim was to find the movies that are Good, and to watch those that I haven't yet seen, which are recommended by all:
- Experts of the era (Oscar),
- Today's expert's opinion on Longevity and relevance (AFI-100)
- The public perception on movies (IMDb)
It should give me some idea of what is good and what isn't, despite the bias due to personality cult. In fact, I too might be under the similar spell.
Oscars are being awarded on multiple fields, and I thought that I should take all these in account. The Director, or Leading Actor, whose role isn't in consonance with the Boss's thinking, might not even get a nod for nomination, leave aside winning the statue. A superb acting anyway might make a not too bad movie watchable. Getting a nomination itself, is as we say more than half the battle won. For my comparison, I gave
1/3rd of the winner prize money of a category to the nominated but not won movies. Also, all categories are not equal, some are more equal than others. I allocated
- 12 (4 for nomination) to best movie of the year,
- 9 (N=3) to best director and
- 6 (N=2) to the best actors of respective genders.
- All the other categories except these 4 are 3 for a win and 1 for nomination.
These are arbitrary numbers, and without any logical or scientific basis. But a good movie should be the most significant, followed by direction, and then the two actors living the major part of the movie. I didn't give any negative marks for Razzy, which could have complicated the issue (for example in Wall Street where Douglas and Hannah would have cancelled each other).
If I look at some other field, the concept would be easy. I first thought of sports, but that has a big drawback. Most of the sports are not subjective. The results speak for themselves. When Bolt wins a race, he does. The time is clocked, and there is no human factor to decide. That goes with Messi Vs Ronaldo's fight for the shoe that they won't ever wear (Golden Boot), even the rankings in the ATP, or PGA are all mathematical and defined, no one could contradict them. Probably except in artistic sports (Gymnastics, Figure Skating, Synch Swimming, Diving, etc.), nowhere a man (or a woman) has any say.
Then I looked at science and found it to be highly unscientific, you definitely can't call the awards as a good sport, including, and especially, the most sought after of all prizes, the Nobel Prize. Here again experts come in and decide who gets the award, again weighed down with personal bias and prejudices, with sometimes quite funny, and many times politically motivated results.
But this has a great advantage, if one can't get an award this year, his/ her work isn't passed into ineligible list, and next year, the same work could be considered. If I look for the similarity, the award is given to the person, whose as yet un-awarded work is considered to have contributed the most in the specific field. Thus, any scientific discovery, which would be considered among the best of the century, has to come from the list of the awarded. For example, in Physics, it could be Rayleigh (for gas conduction and discovery of Argon)? Chadwick (for Neutron), Bragg (for Crystal Structures), Shockley (Transistor), Einstein (Photo electric and quantum physics), Bohr… Definitely, the most important, which gave rise to the most disruption, would feature in the list, and rarely it would go a step down, to the list of nominated but didn't win.
In the similar manner, the best movies should come from the winners, and since here the nominations are not in perpetuity, till won or become stale, I will take the nominated too in my probables.
In general, like the best of Nobels, the AFI list represents what the Power centers, the specialists of today, thought about the movies of yore and which one they found significant. By significance, I will interpret them as,
- It has some context even today,
- It has some effect on the future movies, and probably the effect is still on, either in the same form or with further modifications.
- More these factors are of relevance today, higher they go up in the list.
IMDb too looks at the movies from the same angle, but with a different mindset. The common audience may not bother about whether a movie has a disruptive effect or not. They would rather look as to whether the movie has still some relevance today, so that they can associate with, and enjoy it. Unlike the experts, who would look for a 'proper message' or 'feature', IMDb will look at the enjoyment angle, and would rank movies with glamor and glitz above the noirs.
The first two groups, the 100 years and the IMDb have a big list to chose their favorites from, and get confused along the way. The experts choosing for Oscars have a limited choice, and from the handful of the movies, the list of the non-box office duds, that they received, they have to make their choice, in the same way as the first group looked at (relevance, proper subject and positive effect on industry as well as society), and get equally confused, when the quality doesn't exactly suit their taste. In first case there may be overabundance, and the second case lack of it, but that goes with the job, and there is no use of complaining.
Overall, if I look after a long gap, there must be some relationship between them. Let us say a movie that was very good 40 years back, as told by experts, our viewers of today may not rank them as very good to today's standard, but compared to other movies of that year, or a year plus or minus, it would still be the one from which the best would be chosen.
Experts of today may have different mindset than that of 40 years back and they might prefer movies of current time, but if asked to rank the movies of say 1955, the rank list should remain similar (not necessarily same though) as was done by the experts of that time.
It would be surprising if they bring in an entirely unseeded and unknown player and nominate as top seed. We all know the name of Ken Rosewall, but how many of us remember Lew Hoad, who was his double partner and singles opponent, and another world No 1? If a list is ever prepared of greatest players, his name could still crop up from his multiple Grand Slam titles, may be Pancho Gonzales too would be recalled, but I wonder if Pancho Segura will.
I think that I could make a fair guess that the three series will converge. i.e.
- The AFI's top list would be from the ones, that have won multiple Oscars.
- More the Oscars won by it, higher it would be in the pecking order.
- It would have almost similar trend in the IMDb ranking too, at least among the movies of approximately same era.
- It implies that if I sort the list by number of Oscars, especially major Oscars, probably the series would be same as that of IMDb and AFI, with some acceptable errors (which are part of any statistics).
- The movies of pre-Oscars era, or those for which the category didn't exist, could be sandwiched in between, or might even be at pinnacle, but in general they won't disturb the sequence of others.
I think my hypothesis is in order.

I believe I have looked forward to the warmth and green of spring this year more than any other. It's been fairly warm outside the last few days, even at night, and several trees have already begun getting leaves. I look out my window as I write this and see how so much has already turned green. In another couple of weeks, flowers will be out. I look forward to their beauty. I've already been enjoying the buttercups. They always seem to be the first of any flowers that bloom, and they always remind me of Easter and of life renewing itself. And I look forward to being able to work out in the yard again, taking longer hikes, and being able to travel a bit more as well.
I think of spring and I'm reminded just how precious life is. God gives us the ability to exist, to have conscience, to know Him, to be in relationship with others, to live. He breathes life into all of us. We live because we are His creation, and He wants us.
I have two nephews that I cherish deeply. They were unexpected to say the least, and the entire family worried about how life would change when they came about. Their being certainly did change a lot of things—some for the good, some for the bad—but they have been perhaps the biggest blessing God has ever given us. I love them beyond any measure.
It bewilders me how so many people have such disregard or no appreciation at all for the life of others. I think about how easy it would have been for my nephew's mother to have aborted them. She was young, unmarried, broke… fit the bill pretty well for that sort of thing. If she ever did anything right or good, however, it was in choosing to give birth to her sons. But there are so many people who have made that other decision: to err on the side of death. And I wonder if they have any idea what sort of thing they really gave up. I've seen diagrams and videos depicting abortion before, like the one here, and I can say it is a horrendously, monstrous act—one that I couldn't imagine even contemplating doing.
I look at how nature is beginning to come alive again, and I wonder how many babies will never know it. And not only them, but how many desperate people will have taken their lives and not see another beautiful spring day, or a murdered person whose opportunity to do so was taken away from them. How many non Christians passed from this world into the next, now dead to all things forever? I think it's sad really, how so many people can choose death over life. And I wonder if they really know at all what they're doing or what they're giving up.
I choose life, defend life, and promote life, because I know how truly valuable it is. And so this spring, as everything in nature seems to come alive again, I hope you'll take a few minutes every once and a while to think about how precious a gift God has given us--in all things living--and thank Him for such a truly miraculous blessing.

Strip club at center of Mecklenborg issues worst non-denial ever
WLWT Channel 5 in Cincinnati admits they've been trying to track down whether Mecklenborg's female passenger was a female stripper at a nearby gentleman's club:
WLWT has been working to confirm reports that the woman works as a stripper at a club in Lawrenceburg. No one at the club would confirm her employment, but an employee at the club told WLWT they would pass along a message to her. (emphasis added.)
"Being human, I have made a mistake and this has caused great hurt to my family, and I'm deeply sorry for that. I've served tirelessly and well my constituents and I want to apologize to them as well. While the discovery process in this case goes on, I am entitled to the same presumption of innocence as any other citizen. Beyond this, it is a personal matter, which I trust you will respect."
they should all look up the word stupid !!
Yes, you're so right!
What does it feel like knowing you're smarter than everyone else in the room?
Where is the public outrage? Are voters so disenfranchised that nothing will pull voters away from American Idol and to the voting booth?
The pedophile-serving, mother-killing, Nazi-electing GENOCIDAL (Cardinal Montini AKA Paul VI FUNDED Nazi death camps in Croatia during WWII) Catholic Church has bullied Americans into Stockholm Syndrome apathy. Hopefully, outraged feminists will wake everyone up by hounding theothugs like Mecklenborg over the grisly reasons for their adultery — their stupid brood mares suffer stinky childbirth bladder and bowel incontinence and disfiguring cancers triggered by female fetuses. If Mecklenborg can secretly treat his mistresses to reputation-saving abortions, ALL women deserve abortions to save their own lives, health and marriages. No woman should be maimed or murdered by forced birthers just to keep priests and anti-choicers supplied with fresh altar boys and strippers. Mecklenborg should be Bobbitted. We scorned and stoned women deserve to know all about the STD treatments and Viagra sprees of mother-killing priests and politicians.

Tips on Dealing With Wholesale Suppliers As a Sole Trader
Together with the present state of our economy, where more and more people are dropping their jobs, and making both ends meet is becoming increasingly difficult, a viable option to complement your income is to turn into a sole trader and sell wholesale products. However, although it might seem to be easy to buy wholesale products and sell them at retail value and make a cool profit, you ought to be aware of which products to source, where to source them, and where to sell them. Moreover, dealing with inexpensive suppliers as a singular trader is also a complex proposition, and it is necessary to do thorough research regarding finding wholesale suppliers and profitable products on different websites before starting any such business. Yet , the main aspect of this business is to know exactly how to deal with these wholesale suppliers. Salehoo Salehoo review
Website Discussion boards
There are many websites that provide deep information into dealing with bulk suppliers because they also have special forums where experts and other members share their opinions, experiences, and tips. These forums can help the sole speculator to source companies track down genuine suppliers. You cannot find any subscription or subscription fee, and the sole trader can get expert business advice and community support. The forums also act as service platforms for potential buyers and sellers to create a network to talk about trade leads, form trading partners, and identify profitable business opportunities. A b2b community is formed, which acts as an industry for sole traders, bulk suppliers, product distributors, and operate stock buyers.
In order to find and package with wholesale suppliers, it is essential to stick to the following steps.
Sourcing A Wholesale Supplier
The first step in starting as a sole trader is to find a reliable wholesale supplier. A provider should be easy to work with him, and he will honor his commitments. Many sole dealers have been taken for a ride by dishonest wholesalers in several ways. That is, therefore essential to exercise caution is to do a thorough search before finalizing who to work with. The local phone book and the Internet are a great sources to find a suitable inexpensive supplier. There are many websites and wholesale web directories which may have plenty of information regarding finding good and reliable companies. It might be highly recommended to short-list several of the potential wholesalers and then look at the reviews on Google from prior buyers who have done business with them. It will not be difficult to choose an appropriate flower nurseries. It might be more profitable to deal with overseas wholesalers because products are available at an inexpensive rate in countries like China, but as a first step up this business, it is better to start out with local bulk suppliers and slowly but surely build up sufficient experience to be able to deal with overseas suppliers.
Testing The Provider
Many newcomers in this field have experienced terrible experience with general suppliers, like not acquiring any goods at all or acquiring substandard goods that could not be sold. There have recently been cases when the goods were supplied after the scheduled delivery period, and the demand had pointed down by then, so the sole trader was left with a sizable investment that spelt financial corrupt. In order to find the right supplier, it is essential for the only trader to place a tiny order and create an impression that the lady or he is a serious buyer. Constant communication by telephone with questions about the position of delivery of the order will make the supplier understand that the sole trader will not tolerate noncompliance of the conditions of the order. This will likely be a good way of testing the distributor.
Bargaining For the Good Offer
The aim of any business is to make money, and achieving goods at a cheaper rate and selling them at a much higher rate is the foremost method of making a substantial amount of revenue. As such, it is important to bargain with a supplier to be able to bring down the rate. To become alarmed to get shy for bargaining because the suppliers also look front to selling their arrays and may give a discount, particularly if there is the opportunity of obtaining a bulk order. Additionally it is important for the sole speculator to cross-check the full prices of the goods that he or the girl intends to buy from the wholesaler, because many unscrupulous wholesalers demand an inflated potential retail rate and try to create the impression that the wholesale price will permit the trader to make a huge profit. In order to avoid falling fodder to such a move, finding out whether the wholesaler's indications are appropriate will assist the trader.
Smelling A Rat
If the deal proposed by a flower nurseries appears to be too good to be true, the sole trader should smell a rat and keep way from such a deal, simply because there must be a catch, that is not apparent in the starting.

Moore, which reflects on the work and legacy of documentary photographer and photojournalist Dorothea Lange, who died on October 11th 1965 of esophageal cancer, during post-production of this film. Seen in conversation with Peter Odergard, Professor of Political Science at UC Berkeley, Lange meditates on the influence and potential of photography and expresses a hope that the principles set down in the seminal Farm Security Administration (FSA) project of the 1930s, will be extended to chronicle the life of America's new urban landscapes. She opens the film by advising that: "One should really use the camera as though tomorrow you'd be stricken blind." And she ends with a valediction on photography and images: "The visual mind has a very great contribution to make ... This is a peculiar and a powerful instrument for this purpose of saying to you or saying to the world in general. This is the way it is. Look at it. Look at it!" Also features many close ups of Lange's photographs from the 1930s-60s. This film was produced, directed and edited by Philip Greene, Robert Katz and Richard Moore. Oakland Museum loaned their 16mm film print of this film to the TV Archive, to be remastered.
Note that Movette Film Transfer of San Francisco remastered this 16mm negative film print in May 2017 in 2K resolution (2048x1556 pixels), using a Lasergraphics film scanner. Opening graphic designed by Carrie Hawks.

New Delhi: Asserting that Anna Hazare`s
allegations against him have no "factual basis", HRD Minister
Kapil Sibal, one of the five ministers nominated to the joint
committee to draft Lokpal Bill, on Monday termed as "patently
false" the statements attributed to him.
Without naming Sibal, Hazare had written a letter to
Congress chief Sonia Gandhi accusing him of holding "private
informal debriefing session" for journalists to charge civil
society members with "succumbing to government`s pressure"
after the first meeting of the joint committee last week.
Reacting to the allegations, the minister`s office issued
a clarification and said the statement attributed to him that
"the civil society members have succumbed to government
pressure" is patently false.
"No such statement was ever made by Mr Sibal," it said.
The clarification said that after the first meeting of
the Joint Drafting Committee with reference to the Lokpal
Bill, and after the official briefing, Sibal held no meeting
with journalists to debrief them.
"After the meeting, journalists followed him to his home
and sought details about the meeting, which he refused to
divulge....Journalists who came to his house sought a copy of
the fresh draft of the Jan Lokpal Bill which had been handed
over to the Members of the Committee and sought further
details with reference thereto. Sibal refused to give a copy
of the draft in question," it said.
"The fact that no debriefing took place is confirmed by
journalists who were present in his house and have on air
stated that the allegation made in Anna Hazare`s letter has no
factual basis," the minister`s office said.
Hazare had alleged one of the ministers, who addressed
the media on Saturday after the joint committee meeting, said
it was "good".
But later, Hazare said, the minister held a "private
informal debriefing session" at his house and "falsely
accused" the civil society representatives of having succumbed
to government`s pressure within the committee and that the
civil society have diluted the law".
"This was a completely false statement because there were
no discussions at all on the law within the committee. His
informal debriefing created confusion in the minds of people
across the country. It appears that this debriefing was meant
to send a message to public that we have been influenced,"
Hazare said in the letter to Gandhi.

The on-again, off-again relationship between House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and President Obama is on again, White House Spokesman Jay Carney said Monday, despite the picture of tension Boehner illustrated just a day earlier.
"[T]he president has had and I think continues to have a solid relationship with the speaker of the House. You know, they spent a lot of time together in private trying to do something big for the American people," Carney told reporters Monday, referring to this summer's debt reduction talks.
Speaker Boehner told ABC on Sunday that his relationship with the president has grown "a little frosty" of late, but Carney wouldn't buy into that assertion.
"The issue here, though, is not about personal friendship," Carney said. "It's about doing the work that the American people are asking their elected leaders in Washington to do. And in the case of what we just talked about [the American Jobs Act], the American people overwhelmingly are asking Washington to act on jobs and the economy. The president hopes that Speaker Boehner, Minority Leader McConnell and others will join him in taking the kind of action that the American people want taken," he added.
Although the speaker indicated tension has heightened in "the last few weeks," which can be linked to the length of time Congress has been dealing with the president's jobs bill, he said that he and the president still have a "pretty good relationship."
That's something the White House agrees with; attributing past stumbling blocks to the speaker's uphill battle with his caucus, rather than to the speaker himself.
Still, when asked when the two leaders last spoke, Carney replied, "I know they spoke when the president called after the passage of the free trade agreements [last month] , but I don't know that they've spoken since."

California police investigating a missing iPhone prototype were unable to view video footage that could have revealed details about the handset to the wider world, it has emerged.
In a re-run of an incident in Redwood City from the last year when an iPhone 4 protoype was lost at a California drinking hole, a device believed to be an iPhone 5 went astray in a bar in San Francisco in June, prompting a scramble to recover it before it was leaked to the world.
Aside from fears that the phone could be sold on to rival companies or tech sites, Apple, whose employee it was who mislaid the handset at the Cava 22 hostelry, also feared that information about it could also have emerged on the bar's CCTV footage.
It seems they needn't have worried. According to a report from Apple Insider, the video recorded by the six cameras was wiped from the hard drive afore anyone could even so much as get a glimpse
A joint Apple and local police raid on a home in the Bernal Heights area in July yielded no results. In the meantime, the search for the phone, the value of which will depreciate massively in a matter of hours when the iPhone 5 is officially unveiled, goes on.

And there's no excuse for that. But, here's mine anyway… Since I vowed back in December to work every single day on the book, I really have been trucking right along. I've been contacting women on Etsy for the past month or so. I've been visiting Etsy shops and doing research and sending out emails requesting interviews. Yeah, sounds rough. Looking at cute Etsy shops all day. And by all day, I mean the tiny sliver of time that I dedicate to work every afternoon (if the planets align). But, I've managed alright. 😉
I have to tell you, I sure felt silly that I hadn't even considered Etsy until I inadvertently stumbled across a list of the top Etsy sellers. Big surprise, a lot of them are moms. There sure are a lot of creative mamas there, and I have been getting some great responses.
One such mama is Susan Shaprio. Her Etsy shop is Susabellas, and she has her own online shop at www.susabella.com. Susan is the maker and seller of personalized wedding, baby and home gifts. She has had 37,340 sales on Etsy alone since 2011! She started her business in her garage at her home in Woodinville, Washington, but has since outgrown that space and now operates out of a 1,900 square foot studio/warehouse. Susan sums up her experience in a few short sentences:
I moved to Seattle in 2004 and eventually met my husband and when we had our son I decide to take some time off. I missed having a creative outlet and my mother in law suggested taking pottery classes. One thing lead to another and my hobby became a business.
Although, I'm sure there's a little more to it, that brief story is so inspirational. It makes me think, "I can do that." And, you can too! That's what the whole book is about–moms inspiring other moms and making us all realize we can do it.
Susan ended our interview with some words of encouragement:
If you are passionate about something and want to turn your hobby into a business, you can do it! Don't put it off or make excuses. Create a list or quick business plan to help you get started and get to it! Sales always take awhile but persistence and hard work pay off. Don't be afraid to ask for help or advice, I still do all the time.
Like Susan, you too can turn a hobby into a business with a little hard work and persistence. Susan's entire interview will be one of many featured in the book. So, stay tuned!

Echo & the Doppelgängermen
No Mac, but packed. It's taken 25 years but I've finally gotten over the traumatic Echo & the Bunnymen split of 1988. Sure, everything's fine now (sort of) but signer Ian McCulloch leaving guitarist Will Sergeant, bassist Les Pattinson and drummer Pete DeFreitas was such a bitter event that not even the subsequent death of DeFreitas in a motorcycle accident was enough to bring the three survivors back together.

The Lake District is without a doubt one of the best places to visit as a family. There is something for everyone - young, old, energetic, adventurous or for those wanting a quiet break away from it all.
Walks for all
We're aware that cost can be a big consideration for family days out so what better than a family walk. Get your hotel to prepare you a packed lunch for the day so you're not caught short and set off for the hills (or the lakes if you prefer something a little flatter!).
Some great walks that are not too long for little legs:
- Scout Scar near Kendal - see for miles and miles from the sea to the mountains!
- Elterwater to Skelwith Bridge in the Langdales - waterfalls, woods and refreshments at either end of the walk.
- Tarn Hows near Coniston - a circular walk round a beautiful tarn with views of mountains beyond and lots of woods to play in.
- Gummers How by Lake Windermere – a short climb to the top for a fantastic view.
- Cathedral Cavern in Little Langdale – a longer walk but great caves to explore and sparkly stones to collect along the way.
Wet Weather attractions
Granted, our weather can be a little inclement at times! Guests staying at South Lakes Hotels benefit from unlimited use of the indoor pools, which is always popular with the children. Here's a selection of the many indoor attractions around the county.
- Quaker Tapestry: this award winning Quaker Tapestry inspires all those who visit, you'll be amazed, if you are thinking dark, dusty and dull - think again! www.quaker-tapestry.co.uk
- World of Beatrix Potter: for younger children www.hop-skip-jump.com
- Lakes Aquarium: www.lakesaquarium.co.uk
- Lakeland Motor Museum: www.lakelandmotormuseum.co.uk
- Lakeland Climbing Centre: will be great for all ages www.kendalwall.co.uk

- Zero Gravity: a room full of trampolines, what's not to like? www.zerogravitytrampolinepark.co.uk
- Keswick Illusion place www.puzzlingplace.co.uk
A little adventure
- Brockhole: adventure playground and tree top experience www.brockhole.co.uk

Getting excited for Google's Pixel event? You've still got a couple of days to wait, but thanks to Canadian carrier Bell, the wait just got a little easier.
Bell today posted images of both the Google Pixel and Pixel XL, with the former in white and the latter in black. The images look like official renders, and they're some of the better shots of the Pixels that we've seen yet.
Bell's webpages also specifically name these devices as Pixels, saying "Introducing Pixel, Phone by Google" and "Introducing Pixel XL, Phone by Google." That adds support to the rumors that Google's new phones will be branded as Pixels rather than Nexuses.
The pages appear to have been pulled from Bell's website, which isn't surprising since, you know, Google hasn't actually announced these Pixel phones yet. Google is expected to make them official on October 4, at which point we'll finally get their official spec lists and pricing info.
Based on what we've seen of them so far, are you interested in Google's Pixel phones?

wandering...meandering...lollygaging about in Bloglandia
as i occasionally do, i see things...
lots and lots of things!
things i want...things i have...things i want until i remember
that i already have them...things that are cute...things i could
make myself for waaaaaaaaaaaaaay cheaper!
do you ever have this conversations with yourself?
"what?! how much?!!!!"
"not hardly!"
{sorry, that escaped from the part of my brain that is
still holding on to jr. high!}
"get outta town and take a bus...i can make that myself!"
ok...maybe you wouldn't use those exact words, because maybe english
isn't your first language or maybe because you were never a teen-
age girl living in Cali...but you get my meaning. And you would have
had the same reaction when you saw a frame used as a dry-erase
message board...
pay for that? nuh-uh!
even lazy girls have to man-up and exert when it comes to
squandering the cold hard cash that could be better spent on
a spicy chicken sandwich combo at chick-fil-a{extra polynesian
sauce, please!; }is being jeopardized!
and i have to admit, when i spotted this on PINTEREST , the 1st, 2nd & 30th time, i
didn't even pin it...
it all seemed pretty badda-ding to me...at first blush!
a frame...
cute paper...
a dry-erase marker...
how hard can that be?
badda bing!
{and feel free to use my signature flaming hot cheeto shooter-
on-the-half-shell at your next soirée...it just screams classy, no? ;}
but for someone...uh-hem, namely moi...
who has spent the better part of a decade buying a cute
frame, promptly divesting it of its innards and then
painting it white...ok, sometimes pink...i had a doozy
of time finding one single solitary frame that still had
the original glass in it!
but when i finally did...i just went to town!
i used vintage wallpaper...bits & scraps that we semi-hoarders
and even a cute map print from The Graphics Fairy...
{how sad is that? i don't even have a thomas guide to cut up!}
seriously as easy-peasy as they come!
for long lists...or short reminders...you can match your decor
in two shakes of a lamb's tail!
and still have $$ to spare for life's necessities...like Fiddle Faddle! ;}
and one little f-your-i...
don't just use those dry-erase markers on white boards and
plates! anything with a nice smooth surface is fair game!
use your imagination and go wild!!! ;}
{for many more examples with WAY better pictures...i am feeling so
nikon-challenged lately, i couldn't "shoot" the broad side of a barn!...
check THESE out!}

- AnonymousAugust 2, 2011 at 7:21 PM
I have this pinned and keep thinking how easy it would be to do...but haven't yet. This would have been even quicker than the two projects I did for the challenge :) Oh well, maybe fall.ReplyDelete

Free Drury to Drury Business Networking Events
The Drury to Drury business networking events program includes more than 80 alumni members who have shared an estimated $50,000 in business referrals. The program began in Springfield in 2006 and has since grown to Kansas City, St. Louis, Tulsa and Northwest Arkansas.
In the past, alumni attending the events were required to pay an annual membership fee, but this year Drury to Drury membership in all locations will be free!
Family-Friendly and Young Alumni Events
This year, Drury will host several new and exciting events for young alumni and families of all ages. As part of this initiative, admission for children 12 and under will be free to all Panthers and Lady Panthers home events for the 2014-15 school year.
"With the success of our teams and our affordable ticket prices, Drury has established itself as a great family entertainment value, and we want to take that one notch further by inviting more families to come and check out the high-quality teams and atmospheres we will once again put on the fields and the courts," said Drury's interim director of athletics, Scott Puryear.
Drury's President's Awards
Each year, Drury students, faculty, staff, groups and alumni exceed expectations and prove to be exemplary. Drury recognizes those outstanding people in multiple ways. One way is through the Drury Awards, which recognize exceptional students, devoted mentors and outstanding groups for their commitment to enhancing the Drury University experience.
Monthly Drury Spotlight Awards are announced on the 15th of each month and the overall Drury President's Awards will be presented at the end of the spring semester by the University President and the Drury Awards Committee.
To nominate someone for the Drury President's Awards and for more information, please go to drury.edu/du/student-activities/Drury-Awards.
531 Challenge: Goal Reached
The "531 Challenge" fundraising campaign exceeded its participation goal and raised more than $623,000.
The challenge kicked off on April 15 with the goal of 531 donors giving at any level before the last day of May (5/31) on the calendar. Drury alumnus and longtime supporter Larry O'Reilly committed to a gift of $25,000 if the participation goal was met. Drury exceeded the goal with a total of 546 donors.
The contributions will go to the Drury Fund for general academic needs and scholarships, as well as designated department needs.
Library Staff Retire After a Combined 57 Years
Craig Smith and Victoria Johnson both retired from Drury's library in April. They both saw the library move from Walker Library in Bay Hall to Olin Library in its current location, which was built in 1992.
Smith, associate librarian, had been on the faculty since 1984 and first joined the Drury library staff in 1980.
Johnson had been with the library since 1991.

Moyes happy for Rooney to show aggression
Manchester United manager David Moyes is happy for Wayne Rooney to display aggression, providing it is controlled.
The England forward's temperament has often been called into question and he was arguably fortunate not to be dismissed in the early stages of Sunday's 2-2 draw with Cardiff City.
Jordon Mutch was the victim of a petulant kick from Rooney as the players tussled for possession, but the latter escaped with a yellow card.
Ahead of United's UEFA Champions League match at Bayer Leverkusen, Moyes told a press conference he was pleased to see Rooney demonstrating his hunger.
"It's a big part of his game. He's an aggressive player; he plays with his heart, as well as the skills he's got in abundance," said Moyes.
"That's the way he was when he was a boy at Everton with me.
"A lot of people said that might have been missing from his game last season - it's certainly not missing now.
"He's got the hunger back and the desire back and he's committed for everything. I'd rather have a Wayne Rooney that way than any other way."
Rooney has scored eight goals for United this season and his general level of performance has impressed Moyes.
"I want Wayne to have fire in his belly. I think he plays better when he's tough and aggressive," added the Scot.
"I don't want to change Wayne Rooney, that's for sure. I don't want him to be kicking at anybody, but I want him aggressive, challenging and full of running.
"And I think at the moment we're seeing a really good Wayne Rooney who's in top form and scoring goals as well."

First of all, in the near future I will have nothing to do with whether or not a particular system uses poll or select for this APR function. This is because it will be selectable at APR configuration time. This has been a goal for a while, but nobody has had the time to invest in learning autoconf well enough to do it. When this is true, I am assuming people will use whichever method is the better performer on their system. The general consensus I have heard, is that select is better for densly populated lists of file descriptors, and poll is better for sparesly populated lists. Because Apache tends to have sparesly populated lists, poll would seem to make sense. Of course, that requires that the poll implementation of ap_poll is tuned much better. :) Ryan On Sun, 10 Oct 1999 email@example.com wrote: > Ryan, just a short comment about poll/select.

MESA, ARIZ. — For starters, the Cubs` outfield is set. It`s the competition for the reserve corps where the auditioning is becoming intense.
``There aren`t that many spots open on the roster this spring,`` said Cub assistant general manager John Cox. ``But a few players are going to wind up with some awfully hurt feelings.``

I'm weepy today.
13 years ago today my father passed away.
Dad loved to joke, to dance, to party. To have a good time. To bring home treats.
Louis Armstrong, Fats Waller, the Twist.
My math brain comes from him.
Sadness and loss.
But of course, there's more to it.
Good memories and also plenty of hard ones.
Today's grayness and rain today echo my melancholy mood and set the perfect stage for curling up with a cup of coffee to reflect.
If I'm honest, I've been weepy and out of sorts for the past week and a half.
There are regrets.
I start to write then fidget. My brain wants to run from the discomfort. I get up and start to clean. Flip on the radio and hear,
And all those things I didn't say, wrecking balls inside my brain
Rachel Patten, pre-chorus Fight Song
Then I turn the radio off and sit silent again. Sometimes it was things I said, or that were said, which caused regrets and hurt.
Even more that what others did, intentionally or unknowingly to me, it's so much harder for me to forgive all the things I've done or should have done.
How do I forgive my judgements of other people and myself –for making mistakes, not being perfect, being human and not being able to live up to my own standards, or follow my own advice?
And perhaps trying always to look on the bright side doesn't work if you deny that there are things that hurt. There are things I thought I "dealt with", understood and didn't need to forgive from long ago that are still swirling inside, and are part of feeling stuck and the unexpected tears.
So what's the formula for forgiveness?
Here is the formula I'm trying: Acceptance + Gratitude = Forgiveness.
There was hurt; there are regrets. I feel them. Dad was doing the best he could at the time. Things I wish I could do over. I was doing my best at that moment, too.
Accepting that:
Our parents are not perfect.
Our children are not perfect.
We are not perfect.
How can I be thankful for the experience?
What were the strengths?
Joie de vivre, laughter, joking, how to get along with people, time with friends, giving presents, hosting parties, unconditional love.
The opportunities for learning?
- Being honest
- being happy with what you do have
- responsibility
- drive
- how to cope with stress and disappointment
- how to deal with sorrows instead of drowning them
- how to reach out
- patience
- choosing a new perspective
- staying true under pressure to conform to medical decisions
- negotiating
- empathy
- feeling instead of denial.
Acceptance + Gratitude = Forgiveness
Does that equation work? I can think it. I can do the math.
Now, to work on feeling it, and proving a new equation.
Forgiveness – Shame = Peace + Moving Forward
Minus the shame: I'm human and make mistakes, even though I don't want to.
As a kid.
And as a parent.
In relationships.
I am learning all the time.
Now it is time to breathe in peace and take the next step.
I wasn't sure about sharing these raw, first-draft thoughts with you today since forgiveness is not what pops to mind when thinking about self-directed learning and helping our kids grow and learn.
But then I thought, maybe it would help if we did pay attention to forgiveness.
Maybe it is some of those hidden unforgiven hurts that interfere with how we help ourselves and our kids move forward.
And maybe I'm not the only one struggling with forgiving myself, maybe I'm not alone?
So, over to you.
How do you think forgiveness, or lack of forgiveness, impacts your parenting? Your learning?
What is your formula for forgiveness?
Do you find it harder to forgive others or yourself?
Do you have a tip or resource to share?
I'd love to hear your thoughts, Lisa.

NO refunds have yet been issued for the America's Cup music concert despite numerous complaints over the way it was organised.
The Portsmouth Live! gig held during the sailing spectacle sparked controversy as some spectators went for free while others paid £45 to go.
There are different situations and views, and we are not outright refunding people because we don't see there is a reason to.America's Cup World Series event director Leslie Greenhalgh
Event organiser Team Origin issued free concert tickets as a goodwill gesture to people who bought tickets to the South Coast Proms on July 24, which was cancelled due to poor weather.
The move didn't go down well with those who felt they didn't get anything for their money they had paid, and there were also complaints on the night that security staff weren't checking properly if people had tickets.
The event, featuring international stars Spandau Ballet, Wet Wet Wet, McBusted and Carly Rae Jepsen, saw 15,000 people watch the show on Southsea Common.
World Series event director Leslie Greenhalgh said there had been no grounds for refunds so far, and there had been very few complaints compared with the number of people who attended.
Mrs Greenhalgh said: 'We are responding to everyone who has emailed us and assessing each situation. There are different situations and views, and we are not outright refunding people because we don't see there is a reason to.
'Each enquiry is slightly different.'
Mrs Greenhalgh said about 100 out of 5,000 people that had tickets for the South Coast Proms concerts took up the offer of a refund and a free ticket to the Portsmouth Live! show.
Olympic sailor Sir Ben Ainslie led his Portsmouth-based Land Rover BAR team to victory in the Portsmouth regatta.
They go into first place against their international competitors at the next qualifying round in Sweden from August 27 to 30.
The America's Cup finals take place in Bermuda in 2017.

Celebrating Fiona's birthday
The Panamanian jaguar Fiona celebrated her third birthday at the Palm Beach Zoo in Florida October 4th, 2017. Fiona arrived at the Palm Beach Zoo in Florida, USA, in April of this year.
The Panamanian jaguar was honored in a celebration of her third birthday which was also World Animal Day.
Fiona was rescued in Bayano, east of Panama City, in October 2014, when she was an orphaned and wounded by poachers.
During her first months of life, she was raised by Lynne Hawksworth, a British volunteer who works with the Pan American Conservation Association (APPC).
As the months passed, Fiona recovered. Her first home was the APPC Wildlife Care Center in Gamboa. She grew strong and was then transferred to the Florida Zoo. After a quarantine period, Fiona adapted to her new enclosure well. Specialists at the zoo are optimistic that she will be able to reproduce and be a positive addition to the program with aims to aid the survival of the species.
Fiona's partner, named Zooka, is expected to arrive in Florida in April 2018 from the Granby Zoo in Quebec, Canada. Zooka also grew up in captivity and will be one of the four Jaguars at the Palm Beach Zoo, and the only male.
