Revo Rollo Goggle Women's
Not only is carrying slew of different lenses a major hassle on the mountain, but it also increases the chance of scratching them when you're constantly swapping between tints. Achieving crystal clear vision in widely fluctuating alpine conditions, the Revo Rollo Women's Goggle features a Polarized Photochromatic Serilium Lens that rapidly adapts to stormy and sunny conditions alike. This lens also blocks harmful UV radiation and High Energy Visible Light when you're skiing or riding at high altitudes. Adapting to incoming light within 40 seconds, this photochromatic lens adjusts from 32% to 12% visible light transmission VLT when storm clouds depart and leave blinding sunshine to contend with. Its natural state of 32% VLT is great for overcast to socked in conditions while the activated 12% VLT tint accommodates the sunniest of alpine conditions. Additionally, this lens features a 50% polarization that cuts blinding glare without compromising your ability to read the terrain below you or view smartphone screens. Designed with a dual lens construction and Air Vent technology, the Rollo keeps built up condensation and fogging at bay when you're ripping high speed laps on warmer spring days or skiing through soaking wet conditions. The adjustable strap features anti slip silicone beads that ensure a secure, stay put fit. Furthermore, Revo provides triple layer face foam for an delightfully soft feel without irritation.

The Films To Look Out For In 2012…
2011 is barely over and already there is much to look forward to in 2012.
Despite a shaky ending, 2011 brought us some fantastic genre cinema including the likes of Captain America, X-Men First Class and Rise of the Planet of the Apes as well as smaller fare like The Woman, Super and Insidious. Luckily 2012 looks just as packed with interesting smaller fare as well as the big blockbuster contenders. If there was one word that could sum up 2012 then 'BIG' seems appropriate with the likes of The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises and the first instalment of The Hobbit coming out. Likely amongst this lot we will see a blockbuster that redefines just how much money can be made at the box office and possibly invents a new number we haven't seen yet, that is if the Mayans were wrong and the world doesn't come to an end.
The following list is made up of the films that we feel should be looked out for this year and that will likely be the ones remembered for better or worse come new year's eve 2012. You will notice that some titles are absent from this list like The Amazing Spider-Man (no need!) Battleship (erm…) and Breaking Dawn part two (please...) so if you feel that we are wrong and should have included these in the list then feel free to disagree with us and let us know. Anyway, on with the list!
Starring: Michael B.Jordan, Michael Kelly and Alex Russell. Directed by: Josh Trank
Isn't it strange how one year ago this film was not on anybody's radar and now it's one of the most hotly anticipated films of the winter? Chronicle is another found footage movie and the thought of another one makes us want to vomit at this point. This one though, directed by Josh Trank and written by son of John, Max Landis, follows a group of super powered youngsters and the carnage that follows them. The trailer shows what looks, initially, like a comedy, as the kids use their powers to prank everyday normal folk but then gives way to something that looks far more sinister and epic. Hopefully the son of John Landis has his father's early talent that brought us An American Werewolf in London and not the kind of talent that lead to films like The Stupids later in his career. Arriving: 1st February
The Innkeepers
Starring: Sara Paxton, Pat Healy and Kelly McGillis. Written and Directed by: Ti West.
Ti West's last directorial effort was the hugely effective The House of the Devil which despite its slow pace had a lot going for it. Not everybody loved it of course but the hard-core horror fan born in the mid-70s found much to admire. For his follow up West has decided to evoke memories of Kubrick's The Shining along with some good old comedy with a tale of a couple of slackers spending the last night of a supposedly haunted hotel trying to prove there are supernatural games afoot. The Innkeepers has been impressing festival audiences for a while now but apparently it has a similar pace to House of the Devil which will no doubt divide people again. Most likely a limited release for this one which will find its audience on DVD. Arriving: March TBC
The Devil Inside
Starring: Fernanda Andrade, Simon Quaterman and Evan Helmuth. Written and Directed by: William Brent Bell.
Another found footage horror, this time involving exorcism with Paramount keen to cash in on the success of their Paranormal Activity franchise. The Devil Inside follows a crew of exorcists as they try and save a stricken young woman. The trailers and clips released so far have been really effective and creepy and sell the old 'Based on a true story' trope very well. Exorcism found footage horror seems like an easy thing to get right (just check out YouTube) and hopefully we will get a nice little scare fest with this movie or we could have another dreary film like last years The Rite. Arriving: January 27th
The Hunger Games
Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth and Woody Harrellson. Written and Directed by: Gary Ross
For many under 20 year olds this is the one to look forward to this spring. For Starburst readers they may well be wondering what all the fuss is about. Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games trilogy are some of the best written young adult fiction stories out there and should not be dismissed by the rest of us as just another Twilight knock off. Gary Ross doesn't seem like the director to pull off this surprisingly brutal cross between Battle Royale and Children of Men but judging by the trailer it looks like he has nailed the tone and subject matter perfectly. The story concerns a group of twelve 'tributes' from districts in a totalitarian state who are forced to fight to the death for the masses' entertainment. Get ready to be surprised... Arriving: 23rd March
The Cabin in the Woods
Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford. Directed by: Drew Goddard.
This film has sat on a shelf gathering dust for so long that it seemed like we may never get to see it. Shot back in 2009, Drew Goddard and Joss Whedon's film supposedly starts like every other cabin in the woods horror flick before becoming something else entirely and flipping the horror genre upside down. The trailer is certainly very intriguing and those who have seen it at Austin's annual Butt Numb-a-thon festival rave about it as if it's the second coming. We finally get to see if the wait has been worth it this April. Arriving: 13th April
MS One: Maximum Security (aka Lock-Out)
Starring: Guy Pearce, Maggie Grace and Peter Stormare Directed By: James Mather and Stephen St Leger.
Or Escape from New York in space with Guy Pearce in the Snake Plissken role. The latest in a long line of action blockbusters from the Luc Besson/Europa corp factory, this film follows a visit to a space station jail where the president's daughter has been kidnapped after a prison break. It's up to mouthy convict Pearce who has been wrongly convicted of espionage against the US, to rescue her from the clutches of the desperate inmates. For many film fans this seems like the kind of role we have wanted Pearce to have for a long time. Expect action and smart quips as bad guys are despatched left and right. The Europa corps' track record has been spotty at best but they know how to do action. Arriving: 13th April
John Dies at the End
Starring: Paul Giamatti, Chase Williamson and Rob Mayes. Written and Directed by: Don Coscarelli.
One of the cleverest and funniest novels I have read for years is David Wong's John Dies at the End. It has horror, it has laughs and it has likeable slacker dudes. Imagine early Kevin Smith crossed with HP Lovecraft and you get the idea. A drug known as 'soy sauce' hits the streets and allows users to speak to the dead and access another plain of reality, but there are things from the other side trying to invade our world. The novel is structured in such a way that it doesn't exactly lend itself easily to the screen but that has not put off Don Coscarelli, the man who brought an elderly Elvis Presley to the masses to fight an Aztec mummy in Bubba Ho-Tep. Though it may be quite low budget, judging by the trailer Coscarelli has brought his wit and inventiveness to the adaptation and kept all of the likeable character work in place. Fingers crossed this gets a wide release and doesn't just go straight to DVD. The film will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January. Arriving: TBC
Knights of Badassdom
Starring: Ryan Kwanten, Steve Zahn, Summer Glau and Peter Dinklage. Directed by: Joe Lynch.
You probably don't know who Joe Lynch is yet but he is one of the new breed of young horror directors that includes Adam Green, Ti West and Lucky McKee. For so much hype Lynch has only ever really directed one feature, the superior straight to DVD sequel Wrong Turn 2 where he was given the freedom to crank up the crazy gore and made a film better than the original. Lynch gets to put his money where his mouth is this year with the already massively hyped Knights of Badassdom. The plot follows a group of live action role players who accidentally summon an ancient evil which starts laying waste to many a nerd in the forest. Clips and trailers seen so far promise a raucous, gore soaked and funny ride. Cannot wait for this one… Arriving: TBC
The Avengers
Starring: Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, Scarlett Johannson and Samuel L Jackson. Written and Directed by: Joss Whedon.
For many this is the highlight of 2012. It is the film Marvel Studios have been building towards for the past four years and teams up Iron Man, Thor, The Hulk and Captain America and is written and directed by no less a geek figurehead than Joss Whedon. What we have seen so far shows us much verbal sparring and battle but not much in the way of an actual story. We know that it will involve Thor's fiendish brother Loki and an as yet unnamed alien race. Word is that the production aimed to top the epic carnage seen in the last Transformers movie so at least we know we will be seeing maximum bang for our buck. Sadly this one will be in post-converted 3D but amazingly 2D is making a comeback so there should be that option too. Hopefully the rumblings that the script is all talking and witty banter to keep the budget down are false and just viscous scuttlebutt spread by DC… Arriving: 27th April.
Dark Shadows
Starring: Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer and Eva Green. Directed by: Tim Burton.
Another obvious choice for Tim Burton with a remake of 70s gothic soap Dark Shadows. Johnny Depp plays Barnabus Collins, a vampire trying to keep his family of misfits in check. Never thought we'd get to the point where we felt so indifferent about a Tim Burton film but that's where we're at now. Once he gets this slump out of the way maybe he can get back to doing personal more heartfelt pieces like Big Fish and Ed Wood because that's where he really seems to deliver the goods. There is a promising project on the horizon but more on that later. We could be wrong though, maybe we are in for something special, we just don't have much excitement for it right now... Arriving: May 11th
You're Next
Starring: Sharni Vinson, AJ Bowen and Rob Moran. Directed by: Adam Wingard.
Another festival hit that the masses get to see this year is Adam Wingard's follow up to A Horrible Way to Die; You're Next. The plot follows a group of family and friends who re-unite at a remote cabin. The bickering is interrupted by a group of masked men who lay siege to the cabin and start the slaughter. The film reportedly has gore, comedy and tension in a way that is all too rare these days with a major star turn from actress Sharni Vinson. You're Next heralds the arrival of a major new talent with Adam Wingard. Again this is a film without any confirmed wide release despite being picked up by Lionsgate for distribution. Hopefully we will see this before the end of the year, my guess is around Halloween. Arriving: October TBC
The Revenant
Starring: David Anders and Chris Wylde. Written and Directed by: Kerry Prior.
Strange situation we find ourselves in as far as distribution goes in these modern times. The rise in popularity of VOD platforms has already changed the business forever. Festival buzz used to be a guarantee of distribution to a wider audience but now this is no longer the case. A good case study for this would be The Revenant, directed by Kerry Prior. In 2009 The Revenant gained some major buzz and awards at film festivals across the states. One reviewer even compared the film to Near Dark in terms of its tone, inventiveness and impact. The story follows an undead Iraq war vet who arrives at his buddy's door one night not knowing how or why he is alive but craving human blood. This leads to much comedy and horror as the two of them try and adapt to the new situation. The film has then sat in the vault without being released for nearly three years and now debuts direct to DVD in April. It has already appeared on DVD in Australia and judging by opinion there, the wait was well worth it. Arriving: April 2nd (DVD Premiere)
Men in Black 3
Starring: Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin and Jermaine Clement. Directed by: Barry Sonnenfeld.
Like it or not there is a Men in Black 3 on the way and you can either embrace it or ignore it. Will Smith's star power still burns brightly despite the fact that he has made a whole series of genre films that fell at the last hurdle. The Men in Black franchise is one of the biggest wastes in modern franchises. The first film built up the world and laid down the rules and was damn good summer movie fare. The second film just copied the first movie but lacked the wit and invention of the first. Despite a reportedly troubled production, the third film at least looks like it has an interesting plot and does more of that great revealing the alien in the everyday thing. Plus Josh Brolin has an uncanny likeness to a young Tommy Lee Jones. We hope this is good but we are prepared for the worst. Arriving: 25th May
Starring: Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender and Noomi Rapace. Directed by: Ridley Scott.
Despite Sir Ridley Scott's protestations that "It's not an Alien movie, honest!" Prometheus is a look at how and why the Space Jockey got to LV426 and why he was surrounded by dozens of alien eggs. An air of mystery all too rare these days has surrounded this production and we like this strategy. The recently released trailer reveals an epic production with Ridley Scott's touch with sci-fi not having deserted him despite being absent from the genre for so long. At this point if the dual tongued one does appear in this movie people are going to be pissed. A science fiction film actually shot in 3D by one of the modern masters of the medium? Yes please… Arriving: 1st June
Jack the Giant Killer
Starring: Nicholas Hoult, Ewan McGregor and Stanley Tucci. Directed by: Bryan Singer.
Our first thought when reading the synopsis for this film with Bryan Singer directing was that it was a complete mis-match of director and material, but we have been wrong before. This huge budget summer blockbuster is the mid-point for a year filled with glossy fairy tale reimagining's and in this case it's the tale of Jack and the Beanstalk which concerns an idiot who swaps a prize cow for some magic beans leading to a beanstalk and some gianticide in the clouds. The trailer is very plush and sells the epic aspects of the film; I'm just not convinced by Nicholas Hoult as a credible lead or the actual plot of the film. This one will have to work harder than most this Summer. Arriving: 15th June
The Dark Knight Rises
Starring: Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Gary Oldman, Marion Cotillard, Michael Caine and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Directed by: Christopher Nolan.
The other big movie for comic book fans this summer is Christopher Nolan's third and final film in his Batman trilogy. Between this and The Avengers, they will likely make enough money to buy a medium sized country. This film is set eight years after the events in The Dark Knight with Batman/Bruce Wayne facing an apocalyptic showdown with the League of Shadows, led by the hulking brute Bane, who return to finish what they started in the first movie and bring Gotham City to its knees. Oh yeah and Catwoman is involved somewhere in there. Despite the fact that third movies in franchises rarely equal what has gone before, it's hard to see how this could fail. The only stumbling block we can see is that the film will probably be about three hours long considering how crammed the film is with plotlines and villains. The recent trailer for this film promises something on a huge scale which will go to some surprising places for people who love the comic books and know how the Bane and Batman rivalry ends up. Arriving: 20th July
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
Starring: Benjamin Walker, Rufus Sewell and Dominic Cooper. Directed by: Timur Bekmambetov
The same craze for classic literature infused with the supernatural that gave us Pride and Prejudice and Zombies also gave us the Seth Grahame-Smith novel Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. This summer there will be a movie adaptation of the book directed by Timur Bekmambatov. The plot reimagines Lincoln's life as if his mother was killed by vampires and he crusades against them on the quiet. Say what you will about the coherence of the Nightwatch movies but Bekmambatov is a unique visual stylist up there with the likes of Zack Snyder and Tarsem Singh. How a Russian auteur will do with an American icon fighting vampires is anyone's guess but the results will be pretty to look at that's for certain. A late summer sleeper hit if they get the tone just right and it's not a camp disaster. Arriving: 2nd August
Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis and Seth MacFarlane. Written and Directed by: Seth McFarlane.
Love him or hate him, you can't deny that Seth Macfarlane is a funny guy. Family Guy, when it's on form, is one of the funniest things on TV. Macfarlane makes his live action directorial debut this summer with Ted which concerns a childhood teddy bear which comes to life and makes life hell for its now adult owner. Mark Wahlberg plays the adult and has proved that he can do comedy with The Other Guys but whether MacFarlane's anarchic brand of comedy will translate to live action is yet to be seen. Hopefully this will not be a watered down effort and will straddle the line of offensive in the way that Family Guy usually does so well. Could Macfarlane become the new Mike Judge? Arriving: 3rd August
Starring: Kelly Macdonald, Kevin McKidd and Billy Connolly. Directed by: Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman.
This year's Pixar effort is thankfully a return to original plotting and not a sequel to a previous success. Brave follows a princess who must undo a curse she brings upon the land when being a headstrong young lady; she refuses to follow an ancient custom. The animation seen so far suggests that they are taking the fantasy elements as seriously as they did the comic book elements in The Incredibles. Also this is the first time a Pixar film has had a female protagonist which is surprising to hear. The voice cast reads like a BAFTA awards invite list of British and Scottish talent from the last twenty years. All signs point towards this being another triumph and a return to form after the tedious Cars 2. Arriving: 17th August
Neighborhood Watch
Starring: Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughan, Jonah Hill and Richard Ayoade. Directed by: Akiva Schaffer.
Normally something starring Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughan on their current career trajectory would be easy to dismiss but look at this one a little closer. Director Akiva Schaffer made the massively underrated Andy Samberg vehicle; Hot Rod in 2007 and brought the silly and surreal to the film in a way that Adam McKay and Will Ferrell have only previously been able to do. The screenplay for this one is credited to Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg who have written some of the finest comedy of the last few years. There is no reason for this to be anything less than hilarious. The plot concerns some suburban men who start a neighbourhood watch program as an excuse to get away from their wives and families, they then stumble across an alien invasion plot. Simple yet brilliant. This could be a huge hit this summer or languish in cult moviedom if it fails. Arriving: 22th August
Warm Bodies
Starring: Nicholas Hoult, Teresa Palmer and John Malkovich. Directed by: Jonathan Levine.
Do you know the name Jonathan Levine? No? Well you should as he is one of the most solid directors working today. After the brilliant 50/50 Levine next turns his attentions to the well-worn and shambling zombie genre. This one is a little different though as it concerns what happens when a zombie falls in love with the girlfriend of one of his victims and is based on the novel by Isaac Marion. This again has Nicolas Hoult in the lead role who it seems Hollywood has decided is the next big thing. Could be great or could be a disaster if they try and make it appeal to the Twilight crowd. The results will at least be interesting and Warm Bodies is certainly a fresh take on an increasingly stale genre. Arriving: 24th August
Starring: Kodi Smit-McPhee, Anna Kendrick and Christopher Mintz-Plasse. Directed by: Chris Butler
Forget Brave and whatever DreamWorks animation has coming out, for real horror nerds the animated film to look forward to in 2012 is Paranorman. This is the latest film from Coraline producers Laika and looks just as dark and delicious as that film. The story follows a boy who can talk to the dead and how he fights back against an ancient curse that threatens his town. What we have seen so far shows a great sensibility that should thrill kids and adults alike. Arriving: 14th September
Starring: Karl Urban, Olivia Thirlby and Lena Headey. Directed by: Pete Travis
After a worrying delay in release of almost a year and a firm denial from director Pete Travis that he has been thrown off the production, we finally get to see this new interpretation of the futuristic 2000AD lawman in September. Not one minute of footage has been seen thus far in this smaller more contained film that aims to correct what went wrong with the 1995 film. The costumes and production design seen thus far certainly suggest that they are heading in the right direction and with this many talented people behind the film it surely can't be that bad. Arriving: 21st September
Starring: Bruce Willis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Emily Blunt. Written and Directed by: Rian Johnson.
Rian Johnson's third directorial outing after the underrated The Brothers Bloom concerns time travel. Specifically it concerns what happens when targets are sent forward in time to be killed by special assassins. One such assassin is played by Bruce Willis who is suddenly sent his younger self played by Joseph Gordon Levitt as a target. Cue much running around and paradoxes in a future setting. Frustratingly Looper has been seen a year from release by some online geek critics who have nothing but praise for the film. Rian Johnson is a very talented man and the idea of him adapting his style to a science fiction time travel story is very pleasing indeed. After years of disappointment it's good to hear that Bruce Willis is back in something good again too. Arriving: 28th September
Starring: Winona Ryder, Catherine O'Hara and Martin Short. Directed by: Tim Burton.
Could this be the film that pulls Tim Burton out of his current predictable slump? He is after all going back to his roots with a film version of his animated short Frankenweenie. The plot concerns a grief stricken young mad scientist who tries to reanimate his dead dog but things of course go wrong. The film will also re-unite Burton with Winona Ryder for the first time in twenty years. Pleasingly the film is also black and white, evoking memories of yesteryears B movies the way Burton did with Ed Wood. Please let this be good... Arriving: 5th October
The Lords of Salem
Starring: Sid Haig, Dee Wallace and Clint Howard. Written and Directed by: Rob Zombie.
Rob Zombie has a lot to prove with his fifth directorial effort. The Devils Rejects may have impressed us all seven years ago but since then there has been the ill-advised Halloween remake and its sequel and he seems to have lost some of his grimy hard edge that made us like him in the first place. The cast reads like a who's who of genre cinema from the last twenty years which apart from the above also includes Udo Kier, Billy Drago, Michael Berryman and Meg Foster. The plot is about a coven of witches who return to terrorise a town 300 years after they were vanquished. I like the cast, I like that fact that Zombie is writing original material again and I hope that this gets a big Halloween release and isn't treated as poorly as House of 1000 Corpses. Released: October TBC
Starring: George Clooney and Sandra Bullock. Written and Directed by: Alfonso Cuaron.
Gravity has been on the starting blocks for a long time and Alfonso Cuaron has not directed a movie since the stunning Children of Men seven years ago. Gravity follows a stranded astronaut played by Sandra Bullock after a mission in space ends in tragedy. George Clooney plays the mission controller on the ground trying to get her back to Earth. If this is done right then this will no doubt generate much Oscar buzz as well as being technically dazzling. Early reports indicate that the film contains an ambitious 30 minute continuous take in zero gravity in 3D! Wrap your mind around that one… Arriving: 19th October
Starring: Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes and Naomie Harris. Directed by: Sam Mendes.
After years of delays a new James Bond adventure is now in production and due out late 2012. Daniel Craig is again in the main role that he made his own in 2006 with the awesome reboot. Like it or not Quantum of Solace made money but we are alarmed by the suggestion that they are abandoning that mythology in favour of a return to the gadgets and campery of the earlier films. We're staggered that there has been a backlash against the grittiness of Casino Royale so soon after the film reinvigorated the franchise. Oscar winner Sam Mendes is the director of the film so if anyone can take the material seriously then it's Mendes. Hopefully they will strike just the right balance between serious and fun and Javier Bardem should essay a classic villain right up there with the best of them. Arriving: 26th October
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
Starring: Martin Freeman, Ian McKellan and Luke Evans. Directed by: Peter Jackson.
The year ends with the welcoming of an old friend back to cinemas. Peter Jackson returns to Tolkien with part one of a two part interpretation of The Hobbit. Early fears that this would be too camp or less serious than the Lord of the Rings trilogy seem to have been assuaged with the release of the first trailer which shows they have the tone nailed down perfectly and it will blend seamlessly with the existing trilogy. December 2012 seems like such a long way away and yet the level of anticipation is already unbelievably high. Only drag? It's in 3 bleedin D! Arriving: 14th December

The US authorities are trying to retrieve an air-to-surface missile that was erroneously delivered to Cuba in 2014.
According to Vesti.Ru, the US military command sent a Hellfire missile without a warhead to Spain for NATO exercises in 2014. After the maneuvers, the missile was delivered to Paris. Afterwards, for some unknown reason, the missile was flown to Havana aboard an Air France transport flight
It took Lockheed Martin quite a lot of time to realized that the missile had been sent to a wrong address.
Currently, the State Department is trying to understand whether the case should be categorized as negligence or espionage. The US is concerned that Cuba may deliver secret technology to North Korea, China or Russia.
If it was a fault of logistics, Lockheed Martin will have to be held accountable for that. Under the laws of the United States, the corporation may face a multi-million dollar fine for violating the ban on exports of military or dual-use products.

Mr. Big (Mr.ビッグ, Misutā Biggu) is a boss character introduced in the Art of Fighting series.
[hide] *1 Story
Art of FightingEditEdit
Mr. Big has been involved with the mob for as long as he can remember. A former kingpin of Southtown, he was eventually overthrown by Geese Howard's organization. Nonetheless, Geese recruited Mr. Big, and he quickly rose through the ranks to become Geese's right-hand man.
While Geese was out of town on business, he left Big in charge. Under Geese's orders, Big has Takuma's daughter kidnapped as an added incentive to keep the unwilling father working for the organization. Unfortunately, the plan backfired when Ryo Sakazakiand Robert Garcia fought their way through Southtown to rescue her and find Takuma, leaving Mr. Big defeated.
In the second game when Geese hosts the first "King of Fighters" tournament, Big enters as a contestant to prove his power to those who once defeated him.
Neo Geo Battle ColiseumEditEdit
His story in Neo Geo Battle Coliseum serves as a (non-canon) prelude for his entry in the King of Fighters tournament. Mr. Big enters the coliseum and defeats WAREZ in a coup to drive them out of Southtown and increase the power of his own syndicate. As he celebrates his victory, he muses that he will enter the upcoming tournament to manage some way to take advantage of his future team members.
The King of FightersEditEdit
In 1996, Geese recruited Mr. Big and Wolfgang Krauser to form a team and enter the tournament. Mr. Big accepted the invitation on the grounds of possibly expanding the influence of his organization. During the tournament's conclusion, it is revealed that Geese had used his fellow teammates to gauge the strength of theOrochi power. Enraged, Mr. Big tries to use a sniper on Geese, but is thwarted by Billy. He then leaves, warning Geese that he will one day return the favor again.
Self-confident and ambitious, Mr. Big will use any methods he deems necessary to get what he wants. He enjoys the feeling of complete control and the glory that comes with it. He hates being told what to do by others. Mr. Big also seems to enjoy being surrounded by women, often seen with a woman on each arm.
- Electric Stick: Mr. Big can release an electric ray from his sticks, either straight forward, or creating a wave along the floor.
- Burst of Flight: Mr. Big can fly forward completely horizonal for a short duration to attack a foe.
- Projectile Defense: While spinning rapidly with his sticks outward, Mr. Big can defend against other characters energy attacks without taking damage.
Fighting StyleEditEdit
He fights using traditional Escrima, and shows great mastery of the art despite being a gangster rather than a professional fighter or teacher.

- During his original appearance in the first Art of Fighting, Mr. Big was incapable of jumping or crouching (unlike most SNK bosses who only cannot crouch or crouch block, but could still block low), he also had a special technique (a rolling stick thrust) who's command has never been found by players. The only way Mr. Big could avoid a ground projectile would be to time his Cross Diving special technique carefully, he is forced to block regular projectiles. Thankfully he has gained the ability to jump since then.
- Mr. Big is also one of the few characters in fighting game history to not have his cr.D or a crouching strongest normal as his standard sweep; his cr.C acts as one instead.

Tbilisi to quarrel with Ankara over Buket?
2009-09-04 22:34
Georgia's scandalous detention of Turkish Buket in the neutral waters and 24 years' imprisonment for her captain might affect Tbilisi-Ankara relations. The Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already reported on violation of international law by Georgia and intention to put diplomatic pressure on Georgia. Moscow shares Ankara's position: it was stated in the Russian Foreign Ministry that the arrests of ships in the Black Sea are a violation of the sea convention aw well as a step toward military and political tensions in the region.
Vashadze goes to make peace with Yerevan
2009-09-04 17:20
Georgia has been a multinational country at all times. However, on obtaining independence, polyethnicity became a heavy burden for the authorities. Passions are running high around the recognition of independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, and now relationship with another neighbor, Armenia, is also strained. Recently, President Serzh Sargsyan stressed the expediency of granting the regional status to the Armenian language and the necessity of legal registration of the Armenian apostolic church. Yesterday, a criminal incident took place at the border, while the media started talking about Armenia again. This is not going to do any good to the neighborly relations. Tomorrow, Head of the Georgian MFA Grigol Vashadze is going to Yerevan with a two-day business visit. Will he manage to settle the escalated issues?
Why Temur Yakobashvili took offence at Sergey Bagapsh
2009-09-04 15:38
Georgia's Vice Prime Minister, State Minister for Reintegration Temur Yakobashvili is ready to resort to international organizations in case any actions against Georgian sailors are taken by the Abkhaz authorities. This is official Tbilisi's reaction to Abkhaz leader Sergey Bagapsh's statement promising to destroy Georgian ships "trespassing on Abkhazian waters". This is a repetition of the hoary scenario frequently used by official Tbilisi: provocation-reaction-appeal to the world community.
Journalists as top hazard for Tbilisi?
Since last August events the Russian-Georgian relations have been maintained only at the level of people's diplomacy. The diplomatic relations between the countries are torn up. Yesterday's "round table" on settlement of Georgian-Russian relations was under threat of failure. The representatives of the Russian delegation – First Channel host, Public Chamber Member Maxim Shevchenko and Izvestia Chief Editor Vladimir Mamontov were not permitted to enter Tbilisi. If even the people's diplomacy can't be faultless it means a new confrontation is inevitable, doesn't it? GeorgiaTimes correspondent2009-09-04 14:09
Opposition on siesta
2009-09-04 17:59
The autumn storm promised by the Georgian opposition may fail. A velvet September is more probable instead. The Georgian opposition decided to stop permanent rallies joining elaboration of the country's election code. Nomination of opposition candidates for Tbilisi Mayor position is now actively discussed. Does this mean the political crisis is over? Are the opposition leaders that openly admit their presidential ambitions content with the municipal portfolios?

RWANDA Football Federation (Ferwafa) has confirmed that Amavubi Stars will play a friendly game against Uganda Cranes on October 15 at Namboole national stadium in Kampala.
Ferwafa chairman Celestin Ntagungira told Saturday Sport yesterday that the match will be a return leg following the friendly between the two sides in Kigali in February.
The match will give Amavubi coach Eric Nshimiyimana an opportunity to identify his squad for the Cecafa Challenge Cup due in Kenya from November 28 through December 12.
In February, Cranes held Amavubi to 2-all draw at Amahoro stadium. It was the first the two teams had played each other since Uganda beat Rwanda 3-2 in a penalty shootout in the 2011 Cecafa senior Challenge Cup final in Dar es Salaam.
Uganda Cranes will be looking to use the game as part of their preparations for Cecafa and Africa Nations Championships (Chan) set for next January in South Africa.
Uganda Cranes are now coached by Milutin 'Micho' Sredojevic, the man who was at the helm at Amavubi Stars during the last friendly in Kigali.
It will be the first time the Serb reunites with Amavubi – but as opponents – since both sides parted ways back in April, 2013.
Uganda are also expected to play an international friendly against Iraq next Wednesday in Jordan.
The Cranes are still reeling from their elimination from the 2014 World Cup qualification campaign – at the hands of Senegal.
Amavubi Stars were eliminated from the same qualifiers much earlier when Micho was still in charge.

Vivian always goes above and beyond in caring for her patients. Last week she had a 3 year old boy admitted at 9:00 a.m. Mom had four other siblings and needed to leave immediately, Vivian took over as "mom" for the 3 year old child. She kept the child with her all morning riding a bicycle. She offered to take him to lunch with her when she went, because he would not stay with anyone else. He would not sit on a chair if not next to Vivian, he would not even g to the bathroom with anyone else. Vivian showed him live like a true mom. He followed her down the hallways and waited outside patient's room for her. The next day, the mother was so grateful; she brought her balloon and chocolates and this was a mom without any financial means.
Vivian truly is a special and a loving nurse. Thank you for taking care of our kids.

Tarahumara: Where the Night Is the Day of the Moon. By Bernard L.
Fontana. Photographs by John D. Schaefer. (Flagstaff, Arizona:
Northland Press, 1979. Pp. xv+167. Preface, illustrations, glos-
sary, bibliography, index. $20.)
Less than 300 air miles south of El Paso, amid the majestic peaks and
precipitous barrancas of the Sierra Madre Occidental in southwestern
Chihuahua, resides one of Mexico's most picturesque native peoples.
The Tarahumaras have long held a fascination for anthropologists,
who wonder how they have managed to maintain the stability of their
simple, ascetic lifestyle despite more than three centuries of Hispanic
contact and influence.
In this magnificently produced volume, ethnologist Bernard L. Fon-
tana seeks to provide an appreciation of the modern Tarahumaras by
demonstrating how well they have adapted to their natural environ-
ment. Although the author is obviously well versed on the history and
background of the tribe, he is quick to disclaim this as a scientific
study, since his observations are based on relatively few visits to their
mountain homeland. Nevertheless, by interspersing his own lucid de-
scriptions with those of earlier missionaries and anthropologists, he
manages to delightfully document the continuity of Tarahumara cul-
ture. Whatever of the beauty of these people and their surroundings is
not captured by his pen is splendidly conveyed in the eighty-five
photographs by John D. Schaefer, who, when not trucking off to the
wilds with Fontana, is gainfully employed as president of the Uni-
versity of Arizona.
Tarahumura means "foot-runners," an apt term for a people who,
living at elevations upwards to 9,000 feet, have found running to be a
most efficient means of transportation. The high-protein, low-meat diet
of these Indians, in combination with their natural mountain condi-
tioning, has served to make them superb endurance runners. (In a
1927 demonstration, for example, two tribesmen ran the ninety or so
miles between San Antonio and Austin in just under fifteen hours.) In
this age of seemingly growing asceticism in America, as evidenced by
sudden popularity of jogging and vegetarianism, the Tarahumaras
have a great deal of appeal. Realizing this, the author has concealed the

Small camera drones on Kickstarter and Indiegogo – how many of those have we seen already? Remember the Lily Camera drone that we reported about? It doesn't seem to be shipping yet, and there seem to be some problems with it with another "fake" campaign claiming to sell their drone too, and according to this report they are under review by the "Indiegogo Trust and Safety Team". Not very reassuring, to say the least. So, we have honestly become more cautious with crowd funding campaigns in general and drone crowd funding campaigns specifically – there are just a lot of things that seem to go wrong, and a lot of products that never see the light of day, even after being successfully funded. Now, the drone market is huge – if you look at this article, it becomes apparent why so many companies try their luck. And I am not only talking about camera drones. It's growing fast, and so is the need for regulation. This article here gives a good overview of industry trends in the drone field (PDF link). But let's look at the drone crowd funding campaign du jour – the UP&Go Arial Camera on Indiegogo. It's already overfunded by now with over three weeks left, which is another good indication about how much hype still surrounds the drone business. What's so special about it? It's quite cheap with a starting price of $299, and it's really supposed to be for amateurs who want to film their outdoor adventures by having a drone follow them automatically. It records only 1080p at (up to?) 60fps and 720p at 120fps, and takes 12MP stills. The demo footage looks okay but I expect this to essentially look like an older generation GoPro. Speaking of which, they officially call this an "Aerial GoPro" and even copy the style of GoPro's logotype, which is daring to say the least, because I am sure that there is no real association with GoPro. Seriously? The logo looks like a GoPro rip-off … So, if you are thinking about pre-ordering the UP&GO camera drone on Indiegogo, be careful – you might get a very cheap drone for more "fun stuff", but there is always the danger that a crowd funding campaign like this won't materialise. Also, as far as I can tell from the campaign page, the drone is not aware of its environments with sensors (unlike, for instance, the DJI Phantom 4), which means that it will crash into trees when it follows you if you're not careful. Let's hope that's something they will add before they ship the product.Read more

Self-proclaimed game changers, Shotover, have released an exciting new promo for their U1 gimbal and rotocopter. The Shotover U1 Launch Reel is produced by skate filmer extraordinaire Ty Evans and highlights the features of what makes up a very exciting heavy-duty system. U1 Gimbal and Rotocopter We first saw this promo shortly after it was released, but with the hype of NAB 2016 we've held this article back until now. Shotover are no strangers to making stabilized camera systems. Their K1 and F1 6-axis gyro gimbal systems can regularly be found on the front of helicopters and sporting payloads in excess of 200lbs, makes the U1 and U1g look like lightweight systems. Make no mistake, however, the Shotover U1 is a sizeable platform and can fly a combined weight of 30kg. To clarify their line-up, the U1 is the Shotover complete rotocopter system. The U1g is the gimbal only. I therefore speak for both the U1 and U1g when I say the gimbal is continuously rotatable in all 3 axis, has complete FIZ control (focus, iris, zoom) on compatible cinema lenses as well as remote camera control for RED, Arri, Sony, Canon and Phantom. The Carbon fibre design of the Shotover makes it lightweight, fuss-free (for continuous rotation on the axis') and weather resistant (same may not be said for your camera). You'll get 9-22 minutes of run time on the 4-armed rotocopter, as well as features like dual HD downstream (for two operators) with customizable graphic overlay, redundant battery system and flight controller and retractable landing gear. The U1g is quick release detachable, and can be used in a number of configurations (as per promo video) like a cable cam, car cam, white water rafting cam…. There is more flexibility with the payload once on the ground. Here's a lens/camera compatibility chart for reference. Other configurations can be determined when comparing similar camera/lens weights and physical dimensions. For more info on the U1 check out this handy PDF document. With a price range of around of (I'll add it when I get it) the Shotover systems will apply to an acute end of the market. However with such a well designed and self-contained system you can see exactly why.Read more

Freefly has announced a new multicopter, the Alta 8 comes arrives with all the neat features of the Alta 6 including Synapse brain, top/bottom loading and 45 degree angle operation, but adds two more arms increasing it's payload to an impressive 18kg. So, another Freefly promo video. They makes them nice, don't they? Any form of filmmaker would probably have the same feelings as me after that video, Want and Need (before realising I'm not a pilot and would likely crash it the minute I'd set my hands on that lovely flashy controller). Those that are pilots and perhaps looking to upgrade to a larger system will appreciate the Alta 8 in a more practical fashion. The payload gets increased to 18kg (5 more than the Alta 6) giving the multicopter a hefty 11.9 working payload (6.2kg of the 18 taken up by the weight of the aircraft). Despite the extra 2 arms and increased payload, the Alta 8 out performs its smaller 6-legged brother in reducing down to 50% of it's ready-to-fly size down to packed away state. The Alta is 640mm in diameter packed down (littler larger than the Alta 6 at 590mm) but is actually has a smaller wingspan at 1296mm. Just like the Alta 6, the Alta 8 utilizes Freeflys quick release toad in the hole system to quickly switch between a conventional underslung configuration to SkyView, where the camera sits above the rotors for any up tilted shots. The great feature of Alta systems (despite not being new) is the Alta App. I have vast experience with the Movi app which is both very quick & easy to use, whilst also complex in the amount of adjustments you can make throughout. Observing the Alta App, you get the same impression and coupled with the Synapse brain you've access to a host of graphical and numeric information to ensure your setup is calibrated on point. The Alta 8 maintains agility with 45 degrees of operation (tilt of copter whilst keeping camera straight), features velocity clamps for control of repeat camera moves and silent drive motors that Freefly bill as being optimized for speed, reliability, and robustness. The Freefly Alta 8 will start shipping immediately, starting at $17,495.Read more

DJI has just released a new version of the Phantom 3 drone-series with a 4K camera and an integrated Wi-Fi downlink. Also hot-of-the-press, similar to Apple's iPhone market, per popular demand the DJI Inspire 1 can now also be purchased in a very cool looking black edition. DJI Phantom 3 4K It really is tough to keep up with the technology in the drone market. As soon as you have your hands on one, a new one pops out of nowhere. This is, however, a pleasant surprise, as DJI's newest model in its Phantom 3 flagship series combines the best from previous Phantom models and the most popular features of more advanced models at a highly competitive price. The Phantom 3 4K comes with an integrated, gimbal-stabilized 4K camera, ultrasonic sensors and has remote-control buttons for playback, video recording and camera shutter. In DCI (4096x2160p) the Phantom 3 4K can do 24 and 25 fps, and in UHD (3840x2160p) it can do 24/25/30fps. While this version does shoot 4K, the light-bridge downlink was replaced with a Wi-Fi connection that has a range of about 1.2km with clear line of sight. In terms of price, it fits right between the two existing Phantom 3 versions, DJI Phantom 3 Advanced, which features a 2.7K camera and DJI Phantom 3 Professional, which also has a 4K camera but with Lightbridge downlink. Here's a quick overview of the various models and prices: Phantom 3 Standard ($499) – 3 Axis Gimbal with 2.7K camera and Wi-Fi downlink Phantom 3 Advanced ($799) – 3-Axis Gimbal with 2.7K camera and Lightbridge downlink Phantom 3 4K ($799) – 3-axis Gimbal with 4K camera and Wi-Fi downlink Phantom 3 Professional ($1259) – 3-axis Gimbal with 4K camera and Lightbridge downlink DJI Inspire 1 – Black Edition In response to popular demand from the professional filmmaker community, DJI introduced a stylistic change in its Inspire line of drones. The Inspire 1 Pro Black comes with a shell, controller, and battery in matte black. It comes equipped with DJI's best-in-class Micro Four Thirds camera, the Zenmuse X5. The original Inspire 1 Pro, with a white shell, battery case and controller, will continue to be sold alongside the new model. Unfortunately for some, the Inspire 1 Pro Black Edition will initially only be available to customers in regions except for Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom and Ireland. Firmware upgrade for the DJI A2 Flight Controller DJI have also released a new firmware for their A2 Flight controller. You can download the A2 Assistant Software v1.9 from the product page on the official DJI website http://www.dji.com/product/a2/download?www=v1 to update your firmware. Here are some of the updates, as listed on DJI's website: Firmware Improved compatibility with the DJI GO app (Lightbridge 2 required): (1) OSD flight data in the Camera View including control mode, battery voltage and battery warnings. (2) Dynamic Home Point feature. (3) In-app enabling of the Home Lock and Course Lock features. Added PMU connection status detection: (1) If detected before takeoff, motors will not start and takeoff is prevented. The LED module will flash red four times and repeat. To resume normal flight, ensure that the PMU is connected correctly. (2) If detected during flight, the LED module will flash red four times and repeat. Land the aircraft and re-connect the PMU to resume battery voltage readings and low voltage protection.Read more

This is a guest post by Thomas Foster who runs the website bestquadwithcamera.com – NL Recently the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration in USA) has announced that all drones and quadcopters which weigh more than 0.55 pounds (250grams) must be registered. The registration can be done on internet through a web form. This move was expected. They were trying to enforce drone registration and education for years. The reason for that is that there are a lot safety and privacy concerns from the FAA. Safety concerns There are more safety concerns. One is that drone airspace would interfere with the airspace of other aircrafts. Because of that, the FAA declared that drones are forbidden in the area 5 miles around airports and national parks. Besides that they also excluded them from certain areas for which they considered that flying drones there can pose a threat to security. All zones where you can or cannot fly are marked here. Furthermore, you are forbidden to fly a drone above the height of 400 feet and without the sight of operator. Other safety concerns are that you can attach literally everything on the drone. People were attaching guns and flamethrowers there. With registration it is easier to recognize the infringements. Privacy concerns Privacy concerns go mainly to smaller lawsuits of people who found themselves on internet and who did not like being recorded by drones. There are also some commercial videos which had been shooting at restricted territory. And finally, some newspapers use drones that make photos and videos of celebrities. All those concerns led to the change of rules. Penalties Everybody who owns a drone which has more than 0.55 pounds must register it. That means that even if you have owned a drone for a long time, you must still register it. The penalties can go up to $27,500 in civil fines and up to $250,000 and three years in prison for criminal penalties. Although those penalties are harsh, FAA said that it is trying to avoid punishing and just trying to make people register the drones. Filming – what can you do? At the moment, aerial filming and usage of drones and quadcopters with camera are both completely legal. All you need to do is to have your drone registered. Drones with camera in general weigh more than 0.55 pounds. The things that you need to take into account are fairly standard; No flying above 400 feet Fly away from pedestrians and from the people that might feel irritated by your drone Keep the aircraft in sight Do not fly on restricted zones Stay clear in the air and do not interfere with another aircraft's operations Make sure you fly safely In case you want to use your videos or pictures commercially, you need to get a permit from the owners of the property for usage. If you do not use it commercially, you can share it (via youtube and other platforms for example) freely. This is currently allowed, but the drone legislation is changing, so it might not always stay like that. So for that, it is best to keep yourself updated with the news. Other countries around the world The important question that arises is, how is with other countries in the world? As USA is enforcing new rules, this will eventually become a new guideline for most law enforcers around the world. Some countries already have their own legislation which is different from the one in USA. It is best to check their own legislation when you plan to make a shooting in the country of your choosing. Below I will briefly describe the legislation of some of the countries. European Union European Union made some attempts to make a common legislation among all of its members. Unfortunately it did not work out (yet). So therefore every country has different legislation. It is best to research legislation for specific country. Below, the United Kingdom, Germany and France are described. United Kingdom The regulations in UK are the following (it holds for all aircrafts with weight below 100 kg).: You must not endanger anyone while flying. Keep the aircraft in sight – you can only fly on the distance less than 500 meters from your piloting place. Smaller aircrafts used for surveillance purposes are subject to tighter restrictions to the above rule – they must fly closer. Also you need permission for them. If you do aerial work and getting paid for it, you need the permission of CAA (Civil Aviation Authority). You have a responsibility to conduct the flight safely. You may not fly closer than 50 meters near vehicles, boats, buildings that are not your property unless you have the permission of the owner. You are not allowed to fly over large groups of people. Germany If your drone weigh does not exceed 5 kilograms and you do not use it for commercial purposes, you do not need to register it. In other case you have to register it. You also need to follow those rules: Maximum altitude above ground is 100m Operation is forbidden in crowd, misfortune locations, disaster areas and some other locations. This also applies for the flying above industrial plants, factories, and military installations. Within built-up areas (cities), the competent regulatory authorities / police departments must be informed in advance. Within protected areas the local regulations must be observed. France You need to register a drone there. Furthermore, Flight must not exceeding the height of 150 meters high. It is forbidden to fly over people or animals You must not fly 50 meters or closer to the roads It is forbidden to fly in restricted areas (near airports, etc.) It is forbidden to fly at night It is forbidden to fly in places where you pose danger to others. You need a permission of the property owner if you will make a commercial video on someone else's property Australia The regulations in Australia are the following (it holds for all aircrafts with weight below 20 kg).: You must not endanger anyone while flying. You are not allowed to fly above 400 feet (120 meters). You are not allowed to fly closer than 10 meters from another person. You are not allowed to fly over large groups of people You are not allowed to fly in bad weather or at night. There are restricted areas – similar as in USA. You may not fly closer than 30m near vehicles, boats, buildings that are not your property unless you have the permission of the owner. You have a responsibility to conduct the flight safely. As you can see in most countries the rules are quite similar. There is also a gray area in many countries with filming property from distance. Also make sure that if you post something to internet and someone asks you to remove it, you should do it. Your chances of winning such battles on court are not clear. So it is better to be careful. Tips for safe and law-friendly shooting Shooting a video or photographs with a drone is still a great thing to get good and artistic videos and photos. The new drone legislation does not really change that. A good guide was already written about that here. But in order to also abide the laws in any country, it is highly recommended to use the common sense when filming different things. Do not film things where people might feel irritated. Also it is good to check the latest changes in rules. That is because the industry is growing rapidly and rules are changing fast because of that. That industry is getting regulated very fast. However that does not mean that aerial filming will lose popularity. Many video makers and photographers are now using it and it is also becoming increasingly popular in cinematography as well. This might actually be the future of filming. This was a guest post by Thomas Foster who runs the website bestquadwithcamera.com. — NLRead more

GoPro CEO Nick Woodman just went on stage at TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco to tease a few interesting things the company is developing behind closed doors. Asked about drones, he said "A drone opens up a world that we've never seen before, like from an angel perspective. That truly is the invisible camera." More precisely, he also added, "Development is on track for the first half of 2016. We have some differentiations that are right in the GoPro alley." This sounds like we can expect exciting drone news from the maker of the world's best-selling camera next year, possibly at NAB 2016 time? This will put them squarely into DJI territory with their Phantom 3 and Inspire 1 drones, which also feature a camera similar to GoPro in quality in their standard specifications. Watch the full interview session here: He also added that Hero4 Session sales are slower than they were expecting, but said that compared to anything that their competitors are doing, the camera is still doing remarkably well. Another new GoPro focus will be the software side of things – particularly a cloud based solution that they have been developing for a while now. They want to enable users to share their captured videos more instantly, with the "GoPro servers" that "will let you make 60-second or 2-minute videos without any effort on your part." That of course doesn't sound like professional filmmaking, but that's also not what GoPro are after, and that's not where they make their real money. via TechCrunchRead more

Multicopters, commonly called "drones", have changed filmmaking more than anything else over the past few years. With these tools becoming more accessible, aerial cinematography comes into reach of many filmmakers even for smaller productions with cheaper solutions. However not everyone is only heading for the low end, high end multicopters are boasting more and more impressive new features. In comes the Freefly ALTA, which we already reported about in a news video post from NAB 2015 (click here), when we interviewed CEO Tabb Firchau. It's tightly integrated with Freefly MōVI systems (which I personally use on many of my productions, both the M10 and M5). MōVIs can be attached to the ALTA very easily and quickly – if it works like they show in their video, it looks like you literally can go from handheld MōVI to aerial ALTA shots in a matter of minutes: The ALTA also features a top mount camera option, which is really something unseen on other drones so far … the camera is mounted ABOVE the copters, which allows you to get tilt-up shots for the first time ever … which opens a whole new world of creative opportunities for "drone flyers". To make a long story short, I came across some new work that was shot on the Freefly ALTA which sincerely impressed me in terms of its creativity. Particularly this little short, "Nostalgia" by Tim Sessler, which was shot on a RED Epic Monochrome, in black and white. The infrared view on nature, combined with poetic movement and narration, is something I haven't seen before. It features one amazing tilt-up shot with the ALTA. Also, the precision with which that drone seems to be controlled is remarkable: And last but not least, here's another video by Camp 4 Collective which features a bunch of bikers filmed with the ALTA in some impressive landscape and light: More information about the Freefly ALTA can be found here.Read more

It's 2015 and it seems like you can't play with the cool kids anymore if you haven't built your own camera drone or gimbal and started your own Kickstarter project. Here we go, in come two new multicopter projects looking for crowd funding. The first of them is the Aexo, which encapsulates the rotors in something that looks like a pizza box, protecting it against crashing within an instant when touching anything like a tree, rock, or … human. The other one is called Sprite and looks like a flying … tube. Or something. It's a completely different concept which is kind of refreshing, but let's try and take a closer look at both ideas. Aexo tries to solve a real problem when flying drones – you actually need to have flying skills before you start, otherwise it can get messy. Rotors are sharp and move fast, so you want to stay away from them. Also, when they touch anything, they will most likely crash and destroy the drone. Aexo seems like it's doing a good job at protecting itself against things and staying air bound, however their claim that it's safer to fly close to humans with that thing is a dangerous, if not idiotic statement. I doubt that the Aexo would cause less pain if it crashes into your head. The guys from Aexo offer various versions of the concept, even the bare protector kit itself, in which you can your DJI Phantom (1-3) drone. They also offer models which include the drone, different models for different payloads. Aexo is on track of reaching its modest crowdfunding goal soon on Kickstarter. Sprite is a totally different concept but also claims that ruggedness and portability is one of its biggest features. It looks like a flying you-know-what and has two rotors. It is definitely portable as you can put it into your backpack and off you go. It also looks quite rigid. However, judging from the very brief glimpses of footage that we get from their Kickstarter promo video, the footage unfortunately doesn't look particularly stable … unsurprising considering that it has only one primary rotor (with a smaller stabilizing motor below), it's definitely more affected by wind than other solutions. Sprite comes with its camera built-in and is about to reach its much higher funding goal on Kickstarter very soon.Read more

People who work night shifts are at an increased risk of car crashes because working night shifts damages health and puts those who drive home after the shift at a high risk of car crashes, said a US study. The study from Brigham and Women's Hospital in the US had assessed daytime driving performance of workers doing night shifts after a night of the shift and compared it to driving after a night of sleep.
They found that 37.5 percent of drivers who participated in the test drive post night shift were involved in near-crash event. The same drivers had zero near-crashes when they drove after a night of sleep before the test.
Findings of the study show an increased risk of drowsy driving related motor vehicle crashes as well as an increase in self-reported and biological measures of drowsiness while operating a motor vehicle during the day post night shift work.
16 night shift workers had, in the study, completed a pair of two-hour driving sessions on a closed driving track. Before one of these two sessions, the participants slept for an average of 7.6 hours the night before without any shift work. Before the other session, participants were tested after they had worked one night shift. The post-night shift as well as post-sleep drives had occurred at the same time of the day for all the participants.
In the post night-shift drives, the participants had undergone a deteriorating driving performance, increased driver drowsiness and an increase in risk of near-crashes. Over one third of the post night-shift drives had needed emergency braking maneuvers and almost half of the drives had to be terminated before the actual time because they had failed to maintain control of the vehicle.
The participants had also experienced an increase in blink duration as well as the number of slow eye movements.

Achievements of Research Area L
Efficient Algorithms for Combinatorial and Geometric Optimisation.
Karpinski and Schudy [L:KS09] have resolved the computational status of the well-known Gale-Berlekamp game optimisation problem, answering a long time open question. As an application of the method, the first linear time approximation schemes have been designed for a general class of fragile minimisation problems including the nearest codeword problem, Unique Games, constrained form of matrix rigidity and maximum likelihood decoding of an error correcting code [L:KS09]. Using similar methods, we have also constructed the currently best exact algorithms for feedback arc set and Kemeny rank aggregation [L:KS10].
Karpinski and co-authors designed the first polynomial-time algorithm for the perfect matching problem [L:KRS10] and the Hamiltonian cycle problem in dense k-uniform hypergraphs.
In [L:GJK10], we have considered Metropolis Glauber dynamics for sampling proper colorings of regular trees and proved almost tight (upper and lower) bounds on the mixing time. We obtained new results on sequential Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods and the bounds on their approximation errors. New geometric path coupling methods were introduced for counting independent sets and colorings in hypergraphs.
Efficient Algorithms in Pure Mathematics.
Karpinski and Saxena [L:IKRS, L:IKS09] have intensively studied the deterministic computational complexity of the well-known problem of factoring polynomials over finite fields and its intimate connection to the generalised Riemann hypothesis (GRH). Factoring occupies a central place in computational complexity and is connected to the famous question whether BPP = P, i.e. whether randomised polynomial-time and deterministic polynomial-time classes are identical. In [L:IKRS] we developed a general technique to eliminate the GRH from various deterministic polynomial factoring algorithms over finite fields. These results represent the first progress in this direction for more than 25 years.
Implementations of Number Field Sieve methods were used by Franke and collaborators for breaking records in the field of integer factorisation, like the factorisation of a 768-Bit RSA number [L:KAF+10]. Recently, the first practical implementation of an analytic method, assuming the Riemann hypothesis, for calculating the prime counting function p(x) has been achieved and the largest known values of p(x) have been determined.
In the Naproche project (Natural language proof checking), Koepke and collaborators from computational linguistics connect ordinary mathematical texts with fully formal mathematics, using automatic provers to supply implicit arguments. Efficient automatic checking of proof steps requires the selection of small sets of possible premises. We have studied selection algorithms based on metrics within proofs graphs and on clues provided by the natural language input [L:CKKS10]. Parts of Landau's Grundlagen der Analysis and Euclid's Elements have been reformulated into human readable and computer checked formats.
Structural and Computational Complexity.
Saxena joined ongoing research by Karpinski on circuit complexity and the problems of derandomisation. In particular, Saxena obtained new, interesting results related to the algebraic version of the P = NP question.
Several new results were obtained by Saxena and co-authors on the polynomial identity testing (PIT) problem for depth-3 circuits, e.g. [L:SS11]. In [L:BKS07] Karpinski and co-authors have answered an open problem of Iwama and Takaki by designing a polynomial-time algorithm for restricted instances of 3SAT which are syntactically very close to instances known to be NPhard. Very recently, a number of improved upper and lower approximation bounds have been established for subdense instances of problems like Vertex Cover, Set Cover, and Steiner Tree.
New Models of Computation.
The concept of computability on ordinals has lead to a unifying spectrum of computabilities parametrised by bounds on ordinal time and space [L:Koe09]. Classical classes of hyperarithmetic, D1/2-, Gödel-constructible sets and others could be characterised by Ordinal Register Machines and Ordinal Turing Machines. Typical properties of the classes could be recast and proved in terms of transfinite computations [L:KS09]. The 'Bonn InternationalWorkshop on Ordinal Computability' (January 2007) brought together researchers in ordinal computability with eminent logicians from other fields, exploring new ways to ordinalise classical computation mechanisms.
Further Activities.
Jointly with Research Area G, we hosted the workshop on 'Stochastic Processes and Algorithms' at HIM in September 2007, organised by Chayes, Eberle and Karpinski, and a workshop partially supported by HCM and BIGS on 'Design and Analysis of Randomised and Approximation Algorithms' at Dagstuhl in May 2008, organised by Dyer, Jerrum, and Karpinski. Several worldwide leading researchers contributed to the success of these workshops.

The family of a deceased 91-year-old woman claims in a lawsuit that workers at a Roman Catholic cemetery near Pittsburgh jumped up and down on top of the woman's casket and otherwise jammed it into a snug grave by poking it with poles.
Theodore Zimmick, his daughter and granddaughter sued the Pittsburgh diocese and its Catholic Cemeteries Association over the burial of his mother, Agnes Zimmick, on Dec. 1, 2009 at St. Stanislaus Catholic Cemetery in Shaler Township.
After the funeral service, the family says they went to visit the graves of other family members, and then saw workers stomping and walking on the casket and otherwise jamming it into the grave.
Annabelle McGannon, executive director of the cemeteries association, says the family's claims have been investigated and are "unfounded."

Sudeep in Ram Gopal Verma's RANNSampurn, Bollywood Trade News Network
Sudeep has not only cemented his place as an actor in Kannada films but is also in the process of making big in Bollywood. After PHOONK, the actor would again be seen in Ram Gopal Verma's Hindi film RANN, where Sudeep is playing the role of Bachchan's son. The star cast also includes Paresh Rawal, Rajat Kapoor, Ritiesh Deshmukh, Rajpal Yadav and others.
CHECK OUT: RANN to be ready by mid-2009
Ram Gopal Verma states in his blog about RANN, ''When News Channels, Political parties and Industrial czars are the principal movers and shakers in a film, there is obviously a tremendous scope for high drama. This is not so much my conscious intention as the director of the film, but the very demand of the subject matter. Having said that, even the so-called high profile people at the end of the day are, 'people'. And no matter how powerful they are, they are not without their share of insecurities, egos, jealousies, and dilemmas.''
Seems like there's a lot to look forward to in Ramu's RANN. Lets wait & watch for the same!

The Broward Supervisor of Elections Office has agreed to change the polling place for residents of the Colony Point condominium, but not for those at Century Village.
Residents of the two huge condominiums in Pembroke Pines complained to the County Commission on Dec. 11 about having to vote at the Southern Bell building, 13900 Pines Blvd. The building is about halfway between the two condominiums.
The commission, at the behest of Commissioner Howard Forman, agreed to pass on the residents` complaints about truck traffic along Pines Boulevard to Jane Carroll, Broward supervisor of elections.
Carroll`s office responded by redesigning the voting precincts in Pembroke Pines so that Colony Point residents can return to their old polling place at Pembroke Lakes Elementary School.
That school, at 11251 Taft St., now will serve as the polling place for two precincts. ``I think it`s going to be a little crowded on Election Day and there won`t be as much parking,`` Carroll said.
Meanwhile, Century Village -- plus other voters in that precinct -- still will have to vote at the Southern Bell building, although some residents said they wanted a polling place within the condominium itself.
``They suggested they could use the First American Bank, which is within Century Village,`` Forman said. ``I`ll lobby the supervisor of elections to do that.``
Said Carroll: ``He can ask anything he wants to. That doesn`t mean he`s going to get it . . . You can`t please everybody. It`s impossible.``

I think this was asked before the server crashed, but I forgot the answer.
Hello Sunshy,
ya, I think you are right, but we lost a lot of files in that crash.
Anyhow, to answer the question, .........well kinda!
How's that for a direct answer.
In normal conditions when using AlphaTrack with a DAW like Cubase, SONAR, PT or most of the others, AlphaTrack can not send a specific CC message. However, if you access that same parameter using Plug-In mode then AT can control it with an encoder. And in many apps you can then use the FLIP function to control it with the fader for finer control.
The other option is to use a program such as Bome's MIDI Translator to convert your AT's output to other MIDI messages such as a CC value. Using this method however, means that you don't use the normal control setup, and won't have all of the normal controls of the AlphaTrack.
Thank you for the info.
