5 Music Videos From Horror Directors
For many directors, the path to making a movie is by proving one's worth via some other medium. For example, Saw II, III, and IV director Darren Lynn Bousman's first directing gig was a music video for Static-X. And that path wasn't just one he alone went down. For many director's music videos are the beginning of what may become a long and exciting career, one that brings them praise and accolades.
Since there are some really high profile directors who ventured into horror but also dabbled in music videos in the early days of their careers, I figured we could take some time to give them some praise and recognition! Besides, I'm willing to bet that you had NO idea some of these directors were behind these videos!
Alright, here we go!
Crowded House "Don't Dream It's Over" – Alex Proyas
The director of The Crow and Dark City directed this video for these 80's Australian new wave rockers! The song was wildly popular, reaching #2 on the Billboard Top 100 in the US. Eight years later, he would direct Brandon Lee in the gothic action thriller that would become one of the biggest reasons teenagers ventured down the goth path.
Nine Inch Nails "We're All in This Together" – Mark Pellington
Before the man who brought us the deeply unsettling The Mothman Prophecies and the shocking Arlington Road, he worked with Trent Reznor for this black and white video. He also directed videos for Alice in Chains, Anthrax, Pearl Jam, The Screaming Trees, Silverchair, and more! If you want to see something he did recently, you should watch Lone, the long form video he directed for doom folk artist Chelsea Wolfe.
Paula Abdul "Straight Up" – David Fincher
This one blew my mind. I honestly had no idea that Fincher, who brought us Alien 3, Seven, and Panic Room, was the same man who was behind the video for one of the 80's catchiest songs. No joke, I honestly love the hell out of this track and knowing that Fincher was behind it just makes me a very happy person!
New Order "Touched By the Hand of God" – Kathryn Bigelow
The same year that Bigelow released Near Dark, she also directed this video for New Order, one of the most successful bands of the 80's. Essentially a mockery of the glam metal videos that were being pumped out left and right, there's also a strange narrative of a man chasing a woman in a car only for him to break through the windshield and then the two make out. Oh, and the man and woman? Apparently that's a young Bill Paxton and Rae Dawn Chong!
Monster Magnet "Negasonic Teenage Warhead" – Gore Verbinski
Yup! The guy that brought us the US remake of The Ring, which is a fantastic adaptation, as well as the action/adventure epic Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (and the two immediate sequels) first cut his teeth in the music video world, mainly with punk and rock bands. I grabbed the below video, which was done towards the end of his music video career, because I fucking love me some Monster Magnet.

As part of the Government's commitment to close the gender pay gap in one generation, the draft Gender Pay Gap Information Regulations 2016 (due in force in October 2016) will make those employers of 250+ employees think about what action they may need to take to increase gender pay equality over the next 18 months.
After significant consultation, the regulations have been drafted to require those larger employers who are in scope to publish overall gender pay gap figures, calculated using both the mean and the median. These measures are intended to give employers "a better understanding of any gender pay gaps they identify" and greater "depth to the analysis". The "mean" is the commonly understood calculation of the average. As the middle value in a list of numbers, the "median" disregards small numbers of very high and low earners in the business.
It seems unlikely, at least in the next five years, that employers with less than 250 employees will be brought within the scope of the legislation.
"Pay", for these purposes, excludes overtime, because often men are able to work overtime more easily than women. While women should have equal opportunity to work overtime, that is still to be addressed. Publishing gender pay gap data by grade (or job title) has also been disregarded as many employers may not have an appropriate grading structure and also the data could become confused on a merger or acquisition.
There is no requirement to publish separate gender pay gap data for full and part time employees, even though women are more likely to be working part-time. Employers are to calculate the data for each salary quarter; it is for the employers to calculate the relevant quartile.
Transparency in gender pay gap analysis permits comparability between employees in one organisation and comparability between employers. It is intended to provide good practice initiatives which will lead the way for all employers.
Comparable data is to be taken between a "snapshot" of data in April 2017 and data taken at any later date, to be determined at the employer's discretion, within the subsequent 12 months, i.e. no later than April 2018. During this period, bonuses paid should be factored in; it is recognised that bonuses significantly contribute, particularly in the financial services sector, to a larger gender pay gap.
Employers are encouraged to contextualise their gender pay gap data, provide a narrative, as well as information on the positive steps they have taken.
Data is to be published on a searchable UK website as well as provided directly to the government on an annual basis. Reporting any less frequently could result in lost momentum to positive changes to improve the gender pay gap.
There is no additional compliance mechanism than that which already exists under the Equality Act 2010 under the draft regulations. It is described as "positive compliance regime" in the notes to the draft regulations. Mainly, this means that employers who are leading the way, will be highlighted and praised by the government.
There is potential for non-complying employers to be "named and shamed" as a result of periodic checks to assess the non-compliance. This process is favoured over any additional civil penalties as a result of the perceived success of the voluntary reporting scheme.
Six years ago, the uptake on the voluntary reporting scheme was low. Now, over 300 employers have signed up and have analysed, reported and taken action in accordance with the ACAS "Think, Act, Report" Guidance of 2010.
Costs of the reporting must be borne by the employers, who, according to the government, are likely to have over-budgeted for the cost of implementing these regulations in the run up to them coming into force. The message is intended to be that the regulation is not as prescriptive as it could have been.
Right now employers will need to consider how they will undertake their audit and consider whether the audit and current pay structures throw up any equal pay issues. If so, are there any reasons that may justify the pay differential? If not, what measures need to be put in place to deal with any disparity?
Communicating with employees about the process and the outcome is important. Employers may want to seek advice on what voluntary statements could be included in any final public report to be made in compliance with the new regulations.
- Will apply to employers with 250+ employees.
- That's approximately 34% of the total GB workforce.
- 7,960 employers with approximately 11.3 million employees.
- The scope of it will be reviewed within five years.

Hi, guys! Just dropping by today to officially say that we've tweaked the blog's theme! Polaris and I started this probably a week ago and I think Polaris should get 100% credit. This person Photoshop-ed everything from scratch -- I was just there to oversee the details (and applied the changes to the blog)! You wouldn't believe we almost fought because of 3 pixels! HAHAHA that's how ridiculously OC I am but look at the blog -- GUUUUYSSS IT IS STUNNING! So thank you, Polaris for all the hard work and patience with me. You did a wonderful and superb job!
After a little over 2 years, I was also able to get the blog button working! Thanks, Miles! I AM SO FRIGGIN HAPPY! (I am going to edit everything to this new format! Good luck with that! :))

They actually taped the celebrity episodes of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire a long, long time ago; hence why a lot of celebrities were on their own respective shows, discussing how they did and what they won a while before they actually aired the episode(s). They were, of course, saving the shows for "sweeps" or "sweeps month," as it's called, when every single show does its best to try to get the highest rating.

Parliamentary elections started in India on April 7th. Due to the will of people, the number of voters promises to be record. Around 814 million of people might attend this election which is 100 million more than in the previous elections in 2009. Parliamentary elections will be held in nine phases until May 12th in 930 thousand polling stations. Vote counting will be held on May 16th. According to the results, the House of the People (Lok Sabha), the lower house of parliament in India will be formed. In order to form it on your own, the winning party will need to obtain a minimum of 272 seats out of 543.
The main contenders are the ruling Indian National Congress (INC) and the largest opposition party in the country, "the Bharatiya Janata Party" (BJP, Indian People's Party). Despite the fact that the INC will be led by Rahul Gandhi in the elections, the fifth generation representative of the famous political dynasty Nehru-Gandhi, it is predicted that INC has a little chance to win. This is explained by its failure during economic problems in India, so for the voters this Party symbolizes stagnation, corruption and nepotism. According to the estimates of the Ministry of Finance in India, in 2013 the GDP growth was only 4.9 per cent, instead of the planned 9 percent per year. These figures are considered to be "catastrophic" to the country and to the ruling party. Public dissatisfaction is caused by the continuing rise of prices for consumer goods, particularly, on the onion and gasoline.
Experts and various polls predict a victory of the BJP led by Narendra Modi. A potential prime minister stands for denationalization of economy and consolidation of the market mechanisms. During the election campaign N. Modi has positioned himself as an administrator-technocrat. In a position of a chief minister (mayor) he managed to bail out Gujarat, one of the most backward states in the country to the economic leader. Today, there is five percent of the country's population which accounts for a quarter of the total country's export.
Despite predictions in favor of the BJP, the election outcome is far from clear. Firstly, we can bear in mind year 2004 when the Indians voted exactly opposite to all predictions and polls. Secondly, the BJP is not likely to get the necessary 272 mandates that would allow it to form a government on its own. This means that Narendra Modi will need to look for allies among regional parties to create a coalition, which in turn will influence the future of the BJP policy.
The form that will be taken by the future coalition depends on the election outcomes. However, it can be already assumed that in the case of the BJP victory, there are two most possible forms of coalition. In the first case, if BJP scores 230 seats in Lokh Sabkh it can cooperate with some regional parties. And the price for this union will be not so high for Naredra Modi. Probably, it will be necessary to pass allies several seats in the Parliament committees, or for example, some non-key ministerial portfolios. In the second case, BJP might take less than 200 seats in parliament and face certain difficulties. The party and its leader will need the support of at least one of the "Three Ladies", so called key regional women leaders. They are Jayalalithaa Jayaram, the leader of the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam party; Mamata Benerjee, Head of the West Bengal and Mayawati Kumari, the former leader of the Uttar Pradesh state which has a power in this most populous state. The complexity of such a union is that each of women will require key positions in the government and promote independent policy in department, which may diverge from the main line of the BJP. Nevertheless, at the moment, it is difficult to say what will be the object of the bargain and a price for a political union.
However, there are more problems to discuss. In case if N. Modi's party gets less than 200 mandates, there is a risk that the head of the BJP will not take the post of a Prime Minister. It will depend on the number of seats taken by INC, as well as of the popularity gaining "Aamaadmi party" (Common man Party), headed by Arvind Kejriwal. For instance, in December 2013 "Aamaadmi party" took the second place in the elections to the National capital territory of Delhi. It managed to beat INC and concede only to BJP. As a result, "Aamaadmi party" agreed on forming a coalition government with INC, and Kejriwal became a chief minister of the Indian capital.
Nonetheless, the preliminary results indicate that the BJP can expect 230-240 seats in the Parliament. Thus, it is better to try to understand what kind of changes are waiting for Indian domestic and foreign policy when the new government takes the office.
The main difficulty to be faced by the new Prime Minister is to ensure economic growth. The drop of the GDP growth to 4,9 per cent has caused problems to the Indian economy, while the growth has an inflationary nature and happens mainly due to the increases in government spending, prices and interest rate. Narendu Modi is ready to cut the public sector, sequester social spending which reaches 2,2 per cent of GDP. Half of the savings will be spent on the development of infrastructure, transport and energy. Moreover, N. Modi is willing to attract foreign investment, but firstly he needs to stabilize prices in the country, the growth of which negatively affects the profit of companies and investors. In general, the economic success of the BJP leader as the mayor of Gujarat gives investors' confidence that on the Prime Minister post he can return India to the previous levels of economic development. Investors' positive sentiment regarding the outcome of the elections has led to the increase of stock prices for Indian bonds.
Today, to predict Indian foreign policy appears to be quite difficult. As a mayor of Gujarat, Modi proved himself as a nationalist politician. Therefore, there is a risk that his rise to power could create conditions for the escalation of relations between Pakistan, China and the USA. In one of his campaign speeches, Modi promised to return to the "Kashmir policy" of the previous Minister Atal Bihari Vadjpai, which provides the recovery of the "historical justice" and return of the part of Pakistani part of Kashmir to India. Clearly, these statements caused anxiety in Pakistan.
Potential Prime Minister of India holds a pretty tough line towards China. During a recent visit to Arunachal Pradesh, there were clashes between Indian and Chinese troops in 1962, Modi asked Beijing to "discard the expansionist aspirations" and not to think about "picking up a piece of territory of India". Modi's possible victory will also become a challenge for India-U.S. relations, because this politician is under U.S. sanctions. He is banned from entering the United States due to the tragic events of 2002 in Gujarat. U.S. authorities accused Modi to a standstill during the communal violence between Hindus and Muslims. Muslims became sufferers in this event, where the number of victims estimated about one thousand.
However, the leader of the BJP is a pragmatic politician and understands that the deterioration of relations with neighbors can lead to destabilization of the region, and therefore can raise concerns of potential investors, many of whom live in China and in the United States. For example, China is the main investor in Gujarat, the BJP leader's native state. Tough stance towards Beijing and Washington will not improve the economic situation in India. Namely, this is the main task of Narenda Modi. Consequently, it can be assumed, that these statements are just campaign rhetoric and the potential leader of India will not go against the main trade partners. A relation with Pakistan is likely to undergo changes, but the sharp increase in tensions between two countries is also not in the interest of India. As the Head of Gujarat, Modi was actively involved into the process of assistance to Afghanistan, where he interacted with the Pakistani side. This can be a hope to a constructive dialogue between them.
Nonetheless, there is always a case when the BJP leader may try to play the nationalist card, if he does not succeed in realization of his campaign promises regarding economic growth. Image of an external enemy might distract the Indians from possible economic failures of Modi.
It is very likely that elections in India can lead to a shift of political and economic policy of the country. But they will not affect the stability of the general situation in the largest democracy in the world. All the time, India poises between governmental capitalism and liberal approach to the economy, between nationalism and liberalism, between multiplicity of national and religious groups, between West and East. However, India always retains its originality and is influential and independent player on the world stage and in the regional affairs as well. Therefore, Kazakhstan will always be interested in the experience of India and stay in a good relationship with this country.

(Reuters) - Netflix Inc has been a stock market darling over the past few years and strong first-quarter subscriber additions sent its shares to another record high on Thursday. But is the company's sky-high valuation sustainable?
Some Wall Street analysts played devil's advocate, raising doubts about the sustainability of the video streaming service's scorching growth.
"I think if Netflix shares are valued based on its fundamentals, the share price is not warranted," Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter said.
Netflix's shares jumped as much as 20 percent to $568.75 - their highest ever. The stock, which has risen nine-fold in the last three years, was valued at 123 times forward earnings as of its Wednesday's close of $475.46.
In comparison, Apple Inc, the world's most valuable technology company, has a P/E ratio of 17, while Google Inc's stock trades at 26.7 times earnings.
Netflix's Wednesday closing implies a forward 5-year earnings growth of 35.1 percent.
According to StarMine's intrinsic valuation model, which takes analysts' estimates over five years and models a long-term growth trajectory, the stock should be trading at $77.09 with a 5-year profit growth of just 10.7 percent.
Still, at least 22 brokerages raised their price targets on the stock by $25-$500, with FBR Capital Markets analysts more than doubling theirs to $900.
U.S. subscribers love the Netflix service more than television itself, FBR analysts said, citing a survey of over 2,000 consumers.
A majority of the analysts who assigned high price targets valued Netflix based on its high subscriber adds, a potential rise in average revenue per user and a rebound in its core business of renting out DVDs and streaming movies.
Netflix has been wooing customers with original shows including the Emmy-winning "House of Cards" and new series such as "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" and "Bloodline."
The company, which turned to international markets to make up for slowing growth in the United States, recently launched services in Australia and New Zealand and plans to be in Japan later this year.
The company expects to be present in 200 countries in the next two years, up from 50 now.
But the cost of driving subscriber growth has been high as Netflix continues to invest heavily but is yet to see any profits from outside the United States.
"When you are beating sub numbers by tripling the number of original hours, no one cares about any of the less sexy topics like international losses, content amortization policies or changes in working capital," MoffettNathanson Research analysts said.

Agropoli: introduction
Between the coast and the Cilento National Park, Agropoli is one of the most important tourist destinations in Campania's "Cilento" area. With its breathtaking views of the Tyrrhenian sea, Agropoli is the perfect choice for those wishing to enjoy a seaside vacation, close to the many places of natural beauty to be found within the National Park of Cilento and the Vallo di Diano.
The cliffs of "Trentova" and "San Francesco" appear on many a postcard of Agropoli, as do the images of the historic center and the Castle. The name Agropoli derives from the ancient Greek "akro-polis", or "city on high".
Numerous traces of the Magna Grecia can be found in the nearby archaeological sites of Velia and Paestum. Among the various events held in the town, the most popular are, without doubt, the Carnevale Agropolese and the Festa della Madonna di Costantinopoli.

Sometimes we receive letters from new parents, both of whom have spent a lifetime unsuccessfully battling obesity. They want to spare their child the same fate, and ask if this is an impossible dream.
The answer is a resounding no.
We advise them to follow the pediatrician`s directives carefully, learning to avoid both overfeeding and overrestriction. Overrestriction can be extremely dangerous and lead to retarded growth.

Liam Payne, Emeli Sande & Stormzy Named For Simon Cowell's Grenfell Tower Charity Single
17 June 2017, 11:27
PLUS the name of the single has been revealed!
Just a day after announcing he will putting together a charity single for the victims of Grenfell Tower, Simon Cowell has reportedly bagged the help of Liam Payne, Louisa Johnson, The Who, Craig David and James Arthur amongst others.
Stormzy and Skepta have also been named as contributors for the charity single, hinting that the single could have a rap interlude.
The plethora of artists will be singing their own version of the 1970s hit Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel.
The track was previously covered by the NHS Choir, who beat Justin Bieber to the number one spot with their own version of Bridge Over Troubled Water combined with Coldplay's Fix You.
Since the fire first broke out on Wednesday 14th June, the death toll from the Grenfell Tower blaze has risen from 12 to 30 in the last 24 hours. As the search of the building continues, the number is set to rise even further.
The money raised from the single will go to the families who lost loved ones in the tragedy and families who have been made homeless because of the fire.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, Simon said,
'Until that last note has been finished, we will not be off the phone … We started 24 hours ago and already we're getting calls coming in, mainly from Brits. A lot of London artists, people like Skepta, Stormzy, Emeli Sande, The London Community Gospel Choir, all wanted to be involved.'
'I got calls from David Joseph and Max Lousada at Warners. I sent them an email last night and they rang me back first thing this morning to say they'll do whatever they can to help. It's been an all round support and effort here.'
The music mogul is aiming for the project to be completed by Monday, hoping that the single will spark a chain reaction for more people to help in other ways.

'I hope it will prick a few people's consciousness and it might spur someone on to do something else,' he said. 'We can do more than just a record.'
Despite gaining the help of a number of music stars, Simon is still anchoring for one special Brit to join the project.
'I would love to get Adele on the record, after she did what she did.'
When speaking on the song choice, Simon commented 'The song [choice] is important because it has to be sincere, it has to have the right message, it has to mean something to the people affected. I genuinely believe it will make a difference.'

What Could Be More Pop Culture Than Nintendo?
Answer: Not much. If you were like me (and around the same age), you can remember seeing or hearing about Nintendo for the first time. Games that you can play at home that are more like the arcade and not near as pixelated as Atari or other systems. And what was that robot that came with the first release systems?! R.O.B. came with early release NES systems and you could use him for playing Gyromite and a few other random games. When it worked it was neat and fun, but there were a lot of little pieces that would get lost or broken. Small kids and small pieces don't mix people. I can remember wanting one of these so bad, but they were like $200.00 in the J.C. Penny catalog when they first came out. That is a lot of coin for a kid who is 7. Todays dollars, that would be $400.00 or more. Sop basically you had to stand in lie at a friends house to try and play maybe once or twice.
A year after the initial release they started to make smaller package systems (without R.O.B.) and would cost between $110.00 and $150.00 depending if you wanted the zapper and 2 controllers as well as Duckhunt (action set as pictured). When the prices hit here, I was a lucky kid to have gotten one for Christmas. I'm not kidding when I say that I had a line of kids at my door wanting to come in and play Super Mario Bros. I had to lock the front door and only let in one kid at a time. It is crazy for me to sit here and think that this was a real scenario!
As They Grew
In 1989 after huge success with the NES Nintendo would start releasing new systems. The first being Gameboy which was one of the first handheld systems that you could change the games and small enough to transport around. From there they would release The Super Nintendo in 1992 which is considered for some to be their best system released to date. I easily spent hundreds of dollars on renting games for the NES and Super NES at my local movie store. After the Super NES came Gamecube, Nintendo 64, Wii, and a few other variants which all went on to have huge success (well, maybe not Gamecube).
Now The Re-Release!
So when I heard they were re-releasing the NES, I seriously felt like a little kid inside. Flash backs of hours of playing Final Fantasy and Zelda. What would this new system offer, how would it play, so many questions. Come to find out that it is a simple release. A lot like the Atari Flashbacks where they have 30 preprogramed games in the unit with no option to be able to use your old games on it. I think they missed out there personally. This is not to say that it won't be fun. Just some of the game titles are awesome!
Here are the games that will come with the Mini:
- Balloon Fight
- Bubble Bobble
- Castlevania
- Castlevania II: Simon's Quest
- Donkey Kong
- Donkey Kong Jr.
- Double Dragon II: The Revenge
- Dr. Mario
- Excitebike
- Final Fantasy
- Galaga
- Ghosts'n Goblins
- Gradius
- Ice Climber
- Kid Icarus
- Kirby's Adventure
- Mario Bros.
- Mega Man 2
- Metroid
- Ninja Gaiden
- Pac-Man
- Punch-Out! Featuring Mr. Dream
- StarTropics
- Super C
- Super Mario Bros.
- Super Mario Bros. 2
- Super Mario Bros. 3
- Tecmo Bowl
- The Legend of Zelda
- Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
What a list right! Not too shabby. Keep in mind the system does only come with one controller so you may have to go out and find a second which they are offering for $19.99. The Mini will cost $59.99 if you wait for more to be released. Right now the only ones available are for sale on Ebay for $200+. They purposely do this to drive supply and demand. It is stupid if you ask me.
So that is it. A flashback down memory lane! Let us know what you think about the new NES mini!

RALEIGH --The US Embassy in Chile is working to learn the whereabouts of US citizens. No US casualties have been reported but Chilean natives are still concerned about loved ones. Natives in the triangle are glued to the TV looking for updates and checking in with family and friends.
"My dad said that it was like a terror movie, that it was three minutes that the house was shaking from side to side, NC State Student and Chilean Native Constanza Miranda said. "Actually, all the furniture came down."
Miranda and boyfriend Joaquin Baranao have been glued to the TV and internet, absorbing every update coming out of their home country.
The Santiago natives got a scary wakeup call in the morning after the quake.
"A friend from the graduate program just called me and said there was a huge earthquake in Chile, some structures collapsed, it was huge, it was bigger than the one in 1985," Miranda said.
"She said, or at least what I heard was this famous building which is being built now, it collapsed, what I thought was, if that building collapsed, then there is really a huge mess," Baranao said. "Probably my family died, this is what I thought the very first minute."
"We couldn't get in touch family, we were calling all the morning and it was impossible, all the networks were down," Miranda said.
Miranda and Baranao found out through Facebook that both of their friends and family had survived.
"Some friends told us also that the traffic lights would explode," Miranda said.
Miranda has seen some powerful earthquakes in Chile. She says quakes hit Chile often so the country is prepared for them. Miranda says that's why buildings are made to withstand powerful tremors.
"What was amazing is that some roads collapsed and that is kind of never happened before," Miranda said.
Pictures coming out of Chile show there is some significant damage to the country.
"We have some people in the countryside that live in houses built with mud, that they fell down so these are the people that are suffering," Miranda said.

It seems that Motorola is baking another High-end Flagship Smartphone with tiny side-bezels. The device could be the 2016 Moto X or Moto M Plus and could feature a rear facing fingerprint sensor. However, since we don't have any confirmations yet take it with a grain of salt.
This new Moto Device was first spotted at onwhite.ca which is a image production website. The website was probably building the default Mysterious Moto Smartphone wallpaper.

Hardik Pandya, who bagged the man of the match award on his debut in the first ODI in Dharamsala, will enjoy the freedom to bat and bowl without having to worry about following 'definite plans', India coach Anil Kumble said on Wednesday. Pandya shared the new-ball with Umesh Yadav and had taken three wickets to leave New Zealand tottering at 5 for 48. The all-rounder can give the ODI unit the right balance, the coach believed.
"He is someone who gives us the right balance because not only can he bowl but he can bowl at a decent pace as well. He really bowled well in the first game with the new ball and that is something MS (Dhoni) wanted Hardik to try. He came off with the Man of the Match in his first game and that should give him a lot of confidence," Kumble said.
The team has been searching for an all-rounder who is not a flash in the pan and can consistently contribute and Kumble feels Hardik has shown the potential in the limited opportunities he has got. "Like I mentioned, all-rounders who can run in and bowl quick and also bat are certainly an asset. He has the potential and has showed his potential in the limited opportunities he has got. With him giving us seven to 8 overs and sometimes 10, it gives us the balance."
Kumble said that the team's approach would be to allow Hardik to play with complete freedom because it was too early to burden the 23-year-old with expectations. For someone who is starting his international career we don't want to burden him with definite plans or tell him what is expected of him. Hardik can bowl with freedom. The moment you put pressure it does not work. The same is with the batting. He has all the freedom to play the way he wants to play rather than how you want him to play."

"While the endorsement of local varieties is growing more prevalent among Puglia's quality producers," writes Wine Spectator editor Alison Napjus in the October 2015 issue of the magazine, "it remains a difficult task to educate the wider world about these grapes."
"'I would like to do something to help the popularity of Negroamaro,' says Gianni Cantele, of his family's Cantele winery, which moved from large-volume winemaking to smaller, quality-oriented production in the late 1990s."
"'Negroamaro is a challenge for us. In this part of Salento it's all Negroamaro, so of course we want to promote the reputation of the grape. It's not an easy job to do. But at the end of the day, I think this is very important to increase overall quality.'"
Check out Alison's interview with Gianni in her feature article "Puglia: Out of the Shadows" in the current issue of the magazine (October 2015).

I recently attended the "Closing the School Discipline Gap" conference organized by the UCLA Center for Civil Rights Remedies and the Research to Practice Collaborative on Race and Gender Disparities in Discipline. The school discipline gap, i.e., inequitable discipline outcomes for students from different racial/ethnic backgrounds and abilities, affects students across the country. News reports from Chicago Public Schools to San Francisco Unified School District and many school districts in between tell the same story. Losen and Gillespie (2012) summarized this story by disaggregating out-of school suspension data collected by the Office for Civil Rights by student race and disability status:
Impact by race and disability of the use of out-of-school suspensions, 2009-2010
Source: CRDC, 2009-2010 (numbers from national sample rounded to whole numbers)
From: Losen, D. & Gillespie, J. (2012). Opportunities suspended: The disparate impact of disciplinary exclusion from school. University of California at Los Angeles: The Center for Civil Rights Remedies at The Civil Rights Project/Proyecto Derechos Civiles. Figure 2, Page 13.
The conference brought together researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and students, all committed to making a difference. It presented not only different perspectives, but offered a forum for open and honest dialogue and galvanized collaborations across disciplinary boundaries. The student voices set this conference apart from many others I have attended and brought its purpose to life. The immediacy, clarity, and openness with which the students shared their experiences were simultaneously heartbreaking and inspiring.
After the initial plenary session in which researchers presented the well-known numbers documenting disciplinary disproportionality and the dismal trajectories of students excluded from school, a young man stepped up to the microphone and started by apologizing for wearing his sunglasses. As it turned out, his sunglasses almost got him suspended from school when he refused to take them off in class after being asked by his teacher to do so. The teacher argued that he needed to see the students' eyes in order to determine if he is academically engaged. The student argued that his work clearly indicated that he is academically engaged and that freedom of expression allowed him to wear his sunglasses. The issue was finally settled during a parent-teacher conference attended by the student, his mother, and the teacher. Not only was the student academically successful, but he was also a youth leader in his community.
A young woman responded to a number of presentations grouped together under the title "What policymakers can learn from data on disparities in discipline." The presentations focused on disciplinary outcomes for specific groups of students, e.g. African-American males, Native Americans, and students with disabilities. The young woman said that she needed to go through a metal detector every day she entered her school, a process she found personally violating. She described the heavy police presence at her school, and her efforts to get more people in her school and community involved in peace programs. "Whenever I ask for more peace programs, they tell me there is no money. But you've got money to put more cops into our school, right?" she said.
Another young woman, who identified herself as being openly lesbian, spoke about her experiences of being bullied and finding little support from adults. She recounted her struggles to build an identity in her school and community that was true to herself and living that identity despite the taunts of peers and teachers looking the other way when she asked for support. She underscored the need to recognize LGBTQ students because their school experience differs from many other students and deserves to be studied and improved.
A young man and youth leader in his community spoke up in response to several presentations outlining the efforts of researchers to train teachers and administrators to respond to disciplinary incidents in a manner that minimizes bias. He highlighted the fact that much of the research and policy efforts presented focused on adults, and that "culture" seemed to be interpreted as synonymous with race and ethnicity. "Perhaps you all should pay a little bit more attention to youth culture," he said to applause and cheers from the students in the audience.
Listening to the students' experiences, opinions, and insights made me realize how difficult—and at the same time how crucial—it is to look beyond the data at the real experiences of individuals our data represent. As a researcher, I spend much of my time looking at rows and columns of data, tables, and graphs, and I do so in comfortable offices in safe neighborhoods. The professional and personal resources I have access to likely exceed those of many of the students who spoke at the conference. Given the glaring difference between the environment the students described and the environment I work in, can what I do be truly impactful? Does it have the necessary ring of truth? Can I contextualize it appropriately when I share it with my colleagues? How and when can I share it with students? What is my reality check?
At too many conferences, researchers or policymakers only talk to each other and the conversations rarely leave well-defined comfort zones. The "Closing the School Discipline Gap" conference, however, brought us face to face with the students whom we are researching and for whom we are designing policy. And their main messages were: No need to be afraid of us, don't waste money on what doesn't work, and listen to students and not only to yourselves. Points taken.

These terms are necessary in order to protect both you and us, and to make our services possible and more enjoyable for everyone.
If anyone other than yourself accesses your User Account and/or any of your User Websites' settings, they may perform any actions available to you (unless as specifically stated otherwise on the eCanuks Services), make changes to your User Website(s) and User Account, and accept any legal terms available therein, make various representations and warranties and more – and all such activities will be deemed to have occurred on your behalf and in your name.
Therefore, we strongly encourage you to keep the log-in credentials of your User Account confidential, and allow such access only to people you trust – as you will be solely and fully responsible for all activities that occur under your User Account and/or User Websites (including for any representations, warranties and undertakings made therein), whether or not specifically authorized by you, and for any damages, expenses or losses that may result from such activities.
You must provide accurate and complete information when registering your User Account and using the eCanuks Services, to which you are the sole and exclusive rights holder. We strongly encourage you to provide your own (or your company's) contact and billing details, including your valid e-mail address, as we may use it to identify and determine the actual and true owner of the User Account and/or User Content (as defined below) submitted to us.
We reserve the right to determine ownership to a User Account based on our reasonable judgment, whether or not an independent investigation has been conducted by us. However, if we cannot make such determination (as we may deem in our sole discretion), we reserve the right to avoid doing so, without liability to you or to any other party. Among others, we may consider the principles set forth below.
Please carefully review these principles and consider adapting your practices accordingly, to ensure that what you believe to be "your" User Account and/or User Website remains as such:
- eCanuks will consider the owner of a User Account, User Website and/or User Content created and/or uploaded to the eCanuks Services, as the person or entity who has access to the e-mail address then listed in eCanuks' records for such User Account under which such User Website or User Content was created.
- If any Paid Services (as defined in Section 5 below) were purchased via a User Account, eCanuks will consider the owner of such User Account and/or the relevant User Website and/or User Content created there under, may be considered to be the person or entity whose billing details were used to purchase such Paid Services ("Billing Information"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a User Website was connected to an external domain name (either imported or purchased as part of certain Paid Services, as defined below), and such domain's registration information is publicly available or on eCanuks' database, eCanuks will consider the owner of such User Website as the person or entity registered as the registrant of such domain there under. In the event that an individual and an organization are both registered as the registrant or the registrant organization of such domain, eCanuks will consider the organization as the actual owner of the domain, and therefore as the owner of the User Website connected to such domain. In event the Billing Information indicates one person as the owner of the User Website and the domain registration indicates a different owner, eCanuks shall consider the person registered as the owner of the domain connected to the eCanuks Account as the owner of the User Website.
- Notwithstanding the forgoing, eCanuks shall have the right to determine the ownership of User Content and/or a User Website as it chooses, including by ignoring the indications set forth above, in event eCanuks deems, at its sole discretion, that the situation justifies such determination, all based upon the factual situation as determined by eCanuks.

When to fish for Trophy Pike?
Trophy fishing at Silsby is great spring, summer and fall. However tactics do change throughout the season. If you like sight-fishing in the bays and catching high numbers of fish then the spring is for you. If you like the good weather, fishing the weed beds and catching the heaviest fish of the year then the summer and fall months would be more to your liking. Below we give you a basic description of what to expect during all times of the year. Whether you choose the spring, summer, or fall we are sure our trophy pike will create exciting memories.
June Fishing
Ice-out varies from May 15th to June 1st with the average being May 20th. Due to cold fronts that come in and out of the area, temperatures can range from 35 - 80 degrees, so bring layers of clothing.
The trophy pike are in flat shallow bays & river mouths. The big post-spawn female trophy pike are looking for the warmest bays. Find the warm water and you have found the active monster pike. This is the time of the year when sight-fishing is best as the trophy pike will be in the shallow bays sunning themselves.
The suckers spawn in and around the rivers and creeks, which usually starts a feeding frenzy for trophy pike. This time of the year we usually have the best success with smaller baits such as medium sized Johnson spoons, Daredevils, Mepps #5, Blue fox #6 and slow wobbling crank baits such as the Manns Minus One.
July Fishing
This time of year the weather is more stable. Fishing becomes more consistent with temperatures averaging 50 - 80 degrees. There are fewer cold fronts thus fish are less affected by the weather. This far North, the water stays cool so there are no mythical "dog days." For instance, our guests sometimes catch more Master Angler Northern in July than our guests do in the first week of June.
On Silsby and High Hill lakes, pike stay in the thick cabbage weeds in depths of 6-10 feet. Fish the edges of the cabbage and you'll catch trophy Pike. At this time the 45" pike that weighed 25 pounds in the spring are now 30 pounds and full of energy as their metabolism is at the highest peak due to foraging since ice out. This is the time to catch the heaviest fish of the year and many of our guests seeking the bubba bean trophy pike come year after year during the summer months!
When is the best time to fish for Trophy Pike? I get asked this question on a constant basis over the years. The familiar answer of "it's hard to say" is actually true at Silsby. Our guests catch Just as many trophy Pike in July as they do at ice out. For instance...we have had a week in June produce 28 trophy Pike on Silsby. The same year we had a week at the end of July produce 30 trophy Pike. See..."it's hard to say."
We had a wonderful time. The fishing was great. We were a little surprised that the fishing was that good considering the time of year. We ended up with 11 trophy Pike. This was the best we have ever had done in one trip. Sisby lake was great to get around in. We never was more than 15 minutes from our next spot to fish."
Mark Kruse (Bill Kruse, right, with 47 inch Northern in late July)
August Fishing
The lodge record pike of 53.5 inches was caught in mid-August in the weeds. The big females have big meals on their diet at this time of the year so bring lots of big baits such as large Johnson Silver Minnows, Large (Musky size) Tandem spinner baits, Stick baits like Bobby baits, Reef Hawks, Suicks, and Mann's minus one super stretch.
Late August produces our biggest Pike of the season. These giants are filling up on smaller fish that come to the reefs to fill up on craw fish that live on these rocky shelves.
The weather this time of year has usually cooled off and the bugs are minimal or gone. Nothing beats the scenery in late August and September with leaves changing colors and the Northern Lights dancing on clear nights.
Hi Sam:
Here's some pictures. Sue had a great time and says the her top five list would be #1: The clean bathrooms. #2: Great accommodations. #3: Beautiful scenery. #4: Great guide. #5: Fishing. (I'll copy her in just in case I've ordered them wrong).
See you next year.

Raquel Sofia
Latin Grammy-nominated Raquel Sofia was trained classically in the jazz style of music, but nothing can hide the deeply-rooted, rich, Puerto Rican sound that created the singer and took her from wedding singer to rising superstar.
Her latin-jazz sound is complimented by her rock-n-roll looks, and accented by her half-shaved head. Her first EP and subsequent album, "Te Odio Los Sábados" and "Te Quiero Los Domingos," respectively, are the latest achievements in her burgeoning musical career, allowing her vibrant personality to radiate through her lyrics.
For Raquel, it's always been about eliciting emotions through her music and songwriting. "There was never really another option for me besides music," she said.
Her early musicality flourished in the culture of her native island, Puerto Rico. There, her style developed with the influence of various musical styles ranging across the spectrum, from classic salsa to reggae to rock 'n roll. Raquel cemented her style after her move to Miami, majoring in jazz at the University of Miami and becoming very involved in the music community of the city, she said.
As she immersed herself in the community, she would sing cover songs at clubs, restaurants and weddings, juggling her passion with her schoolwork -- the latin essence of Miami nightlife with the structured jazz of the university. After a serendipitous audition for Colombian superstar Juanes, Raquel performed live on stage in thirty states as the opening act for his MTV unplugged tour, her original songs of love and heartbreak resonating with the hundreds of thousands of fans who watched her perform.
"Te Odio Los Sabados," five songs leaning more toward the darker side of romance, was released in February 2015. Four months later, just in time for the summer season, her first album, "Te Quiero Los Domingos," was released, including the heartbreaking five songs from the aforementioned EP juxtaposed with the heartfelt joy associated with relationships.
The combination of the two lends the album a feeling of relatability to any romantic situation. "I think the album has something for everyone," Raquel said. "No matter what mood you're in, you can find a track that speaks to you."
"Some things I draw from my island, [my] Latin roots- the reggae influence, the latin rhythms and, obviously, the Spanish lyrics. But there are hints of folk, hip-hop, jazz and rock that come from that fifteen-year-old girl inside [of] me blasting John Mayer and Ella Fitzgerald in her room," she said.
This intricate mix of cultures is just one of the ways that Raquel stands out from the crop of young Latin musicians. Continuing her trend of asserting her individuality, she shaved half of her curly locks as a physical marker of the shift from cover-song-singer to rockstar singing alongside Juanes and Shakira.
As a bilingual artist, Raquel said, "it's not as much about what language I'm writing in as it is about what sounds I'm incorporating into my songs."
"[Even though the songs are only in Spanish,] a lot of times people will tell me that they love my songs even though they can't understand the lyrics, [which] means so much to me because as musicians we ultimately strive to deliver emotion," she said.
