Super Kings crowned champions of IPL 3
Mumbai: Chennai Super Kings played the smarter cricket and deservingly won the IPL Cup by defeating fancied Mumbai Indians by 22 runs at the packed DY Patil Stadium.
Batting first after winning the toss, the Super Kings shrugged off a slow start as "Player of the Match" Suresh Raina (57 not out), dropped twice, led from the front to pile up 168 for five and then turned in some brilliant performance in the field to restrict Mumbai Indians to 146 for nine.
The much-heralded Mumbai batting line-up caved in under pressure despite a brave 48 by skipper Sachin Tendulkar and big-hitting by Kieron Pollard (27 off 10) even as the Super Kings took some brilliant catches with skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni yet again spot-on with his field placements and bowling changes.
Apart from Raina, there were quite a few other heroes for the Super Kings. Spinners Muttiah Muralitharan (17 runs in four overs), Shadab Jakati (2 for 26 from three) and Ravichandran Ashwin (24 in four) and later, seamers Albie Morkel and Doug Bollinger, all chipped in at the right moment to author a historic victory for the Super Kings who had finished runners-up in 2008.
The other factor that tilted the scales in the Super Kings, who also won the Fair Play trophy, favour was the team composition, besides of course their superior fielding. The Chennai outfit kept their faith in their three specialist spinners and held their catches.
The Mumbai Indians went in with just one in Harbhajan Singh while opting for an overly pace attack that was not as effective on a pitch that grew progressively slower.
The home team, faced with a big target, never got into their stride despite a promising second wicket partnership between Tendulkar and Abhishek Nayar who put on 66 runs. But Nayar committed a blunder attempting a non-existing single and was run out. The rot well and truly set in at that point.
Later, despite Tendulkar farming the bowling, wickets fell at the other end. The spinners came into their own with Ashwin up front followed by Muralitharan and Jakati, who dismissed Tendulkar and the dangerous Saurabh Tiwary in one over, doing the bulk of damage.
The Mumbai Indians kept back the powerful Pollard and when he came into bat, the asking rate had climbed to over 15. He blasted some massive hits, but it was all too little too late and he eventually fell to a brilliant catch by Matthew Hayden who thus atoned for a dropped chance earlier in the evening.
The turning point of course was Jakati's third and the 15th over of the innings when he removed Tendulkar and Tiwary. Thereafter, the rest of the batsmen, barring Pollard, were simply not up to the task and although Pollard took 22 off Bollinger in the 18th over, his exit signaled the end of the Mumbai Indians' challenge.
Super Kings did well not to look the gift horse in the mouth when they batted. The going in the initial overs was rather painful and scratchy despite a few big hits by the two openers, Murali Vijay and Hayden who looked distinctly out of depth.
In fact, Hayden was lucky to survive a plumb leg-before decision early in his innings, but even otherwise, was unconvincing. At the other end, Vijay batted quite beautifully until he tried to break the shackles and departed in the eighth over.
Hayden followed his partner back into the dugout, miscuing a big hit. Subramaniam Badrinath did not stay long and with the runs all but dried up, he too fell trying to force the pace and the Super Kings were reduced to 67 for three in the 12th over.
In walked skipper Dhoni and almost immediately set about repairing the damage. Raina, meanwhile, lived a charmed life, being dropped when on 13 and 28 and the Mumbai Indians were to pay a heavy price for these lapses.
The pair went on at a good clip to add 72 runs for the fourth wicket before Dhoni fell in the 18th over trying to maintain the brisk pace.
At this stage, the Super Kings still did not have enough runs on the board, but Raina and Albie Morkel came up with some big hits to push the score along. However, just when the partnership appeared to be flourishing, Morkel was run out attempting a bye in the final over.
Lasith Malinga sent down two dot balls to Raina and off the third, the southpaw batsman attempted a suicidal bye that caught Morkel well short of the crease. Another dot ball followed to new man Anirudha Srikkanth and then five wides. Anirudha hit the fifth legal ball to the boundary and finished the innings with a two.
Thus, a total of 168 gave the Super Kings lots to play with after looking hopelessly out of the contest in the first 10 overs when they scored a mere 59 runs.

The Department of Geography, Media and Communication is recruiting a senior lecturer in Media and Communication Studies. The department comprises the disciplines Media and Communication Studies, Film Studies, Human Geography and Tourism Studies, and offers bachelor-level courses as part of several programmes as well as master-level programmes.
Media and Communication Studies, which forms part of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, offers an attractive teaching and research environment. Boundary-crossing contacts and global perspectives are natural parts of our work. Most of our bachelor-level education is offered as part of two large programmes: Public Relations and Media and Communication. The second of these is offered with two tracks: Visual Communication Design and the completely new track Digital Media and Analysis, which focuses on theoretical and practical analysis of media content and media use in digital environments, such as mobile and social media.
Research in media and communication studies is conducted in two profiled research groups at the department: the Geomedia research group (http://www.kau.se/geomedia/) and NODE (the Ander Centre for Research on News and Opinion in the Digital Era; http://www.kau.se/media/node/). Geomedia has recently been designated a strong research group in an internal research excellence initiative and brings together media scholars, human geographers, tourism scholars and film scholars. Research done in Geomedia is located at the intersection between media and geography and focuses on issues such as mediatisation and space, in a broad sense. NODE focuses on developments in news reporting and the formation of opinions at a time characterised by a weakened daily press and increasingly fragmented media landscape. Geomedia and NODE researchers regularly publish in international journals and are successful in securing external research funding.
More information on the university is available at www.kau.se and on the discipline at http://www.kau.se/media.
Duties may involve teaching as part of various programmes, standalone subject courses, commissioned courses and doctoral courses, if applicable. Work duties centre on teaching in the areas of planned and strategic communication, organisational communication, political communication, marketing communication and courses in practical production, but other teaching duties may be included.

The successful applicant is expected to participate in the daily activities of the discipline and the department as regards teaching, research and community cooperation.
During the first two years of appointment, 50% research/professional development is included in the position. This includes responsibility for further developing the discipline's profile in the area of strategic communication. After these two years, the position includes a 20% professional development component, as per the central bargaining agreement, which may be increased through external research funding.
Qualification requirements
The eligibility requirement for appointment as senior lecturer is a doctorate in Media and Communication Studies or a related area, and documented teaching expertise. A completed course in higher education pedagogy, or an equivalent qualification, is required for appointment as senior lecturer. Under special circumstances, this course may be completed within two years of employment as part of the professional development commitment.
Assessment criteria
Special weight is given to research and teaching experience in the area of strategic communication. Teaching and other work duties are conducted in both Swedish and English and therefore special weight is also given to good written and spoken skills in these languages.
Considerable weight is given to practical experience of strategic communication for organisations, focused on digital communication. Considerable weight is further given to the ability to cooperate and take initiative as well as to experience of applying for and being awarded external research funding and participating in national and international academic networks.

Story By Jules
Embrace Change, Embrace staying the same. Just embrace.
There is a time and place for everything.
The nicest thing we can do for ourselves is to embrace whatever is taking place.
If change, evolvement and lots going on is part of your life right now…
If you are doing the same old, and everything feels much the same…
Our lives, our evolvement, comes in ebbs and flows.
Sometimes we are changing and growing so much, it is crazy.
And other times there's now a whole lot going on at all.
The beauty about being human, is we get to experience this and everything in between.
As a human, we sometimes need that rest that comes before the next peak. For us to recalibrate, to ease the rush, to simply just be.
You are not being lazy, or not wanting things enough. Sometimes your body, mind and spirit simply knows that it needs a time out.
If you are actively being shown signs, nudges and the start of something next level – don't ignore it! Up you get again.
As long as you embrace, there is no right or wrong, there simply just is.
Your affirmation for today
"I simply embrace"

What do you get when you cross a demonically possessed car on a murderous rampage, a small quiet American town and an incredibly good-looking James Brolin? You get the very silly but fun 1977 cult horror feature The Car. Directed by Elliot Silverstein, The Car is often referred to as 'Jaws on wheels', and rightly so. Just like the giant shark, The Car stalks its prey, attacks and drives off leaving residents terrified. And thanks to our good friends at Arrow, the film is not only getting its first Blu-ray release, but a release containing extras.
The community of Santa Ynez is under threat… by a car. It kills two young cyclists (one being a stunt man who does an amazing hundred foot plus free jump), goes after a hitchhiker, and even gets the towns most beloved Sheriff. It's up to Captain Wade Parent (a really, really yummy James Brolin, who looks a bit too much like Christian Bale at some moments, but is pretty hot and kind of makes you want him to turn up on his cop motorcycle and save you, or maybe that's just me…) to stop The Car right in its tracks. Does he? You bet he does! Eventually. In one massive blazing fire-ball of revenge out in the dusty canyons. Is it the best film ever made? Of course not, but its an enjoyable ride (excuse the pun) none the less. The actors make the most of some wooden dialogue and do their best worried expressions and make it work pretty well. Brolin is good as the single daddy/hero of the piece (yes, I wasn't just perving), as is Ronny Cox (Deliverence) as his emotionally conflicted co-worker, Kathleen Lloyd as Parent's worried girlfriend Lauren, who tries to stand up to the automobile, and R.G. Armstrong as the towns big bully wife beater. Extra points also go to Kim Richards (Race To Witch Mountain, the little girl who gets shot in Assault From Precinct 13) for maintaining an adorable look in every scene she's in, even when she's meant to be terrified. That takes a lot of skill and she pulls it off all the time. Kudos.
If we're really being honest, the cast don't have anything on The Car. The actual car itself is, to put it bluntly, fucking awesome. A sleek, black customised Lincoln Continental Mark III with chrome metal work, it looks terrific, one of those cars you wouldn't mind owning yourself. No wonder director Guillermo Del Toro spend thousands of dollars getting a custom-made identical working replica built for personal use. It's bloody beautiful, and is the über stalk and kill machine. Faceless (there is no driver), nameless (there is no number plate) and absolutely full of blood lust (every POV shot from inside the car is tinted a red-orange), it is quite literally bad ass. Four were built for the film's production, three of which were destroyed during stunts. The last, used mainly for close up shots, is now in the hands of a private collector. Am I jealous? Yes. As jealous as Del Toro? Probably not.
Re-mastered by Universal, the Blu-ray transfer does look beautiful, really doing the films shooting location of Utah justice. If it doesn't make you want to go and visit American canyon towns then there really is something wrong with you. Every frame is beautifully composed too and whilst it does get quite dusty in certain scenes, the picture is pretty clear. The score is also great, with a very Jaws-esque two note theme featured at the films start. Aside from that, it really is just a film about a possessed car, much in the same way that Killdozer! made three years before was about a possessed bulldozer. Duel might be the better picture but when it comes to road movies, well, you just gotta include The Car. Even if for The Exorcist style exorcism-like destruction of the bad boy in the films final moments.
The extras on the release package are few but fun. A great commentary by director Elliot Silverstein is included, along with an interview with actor John Rubinstein (the hitchhiker victim of The Car), the original trailer and the Trailers From Hell commentary of the trailer by director John Landis (An American Werewolf In London, Blues Brothers). Also included, as beginning the standard norm for Arrow releases, is a detailed booklet containing essays and interviews. Best of them all though is a great thirty minute feature with Special Effects artist William Aldridge (Star Trek, Die Hard 2, 127 Hours) who goes through every effect in the movie and details how it was done, through the working process, who was involved and the differences between the special effects and stunt work. It's a very interesting interview, and the type of extra I wish more distributors would try to include on DVD/Blu-ray releases. If, like me, you haven't got a bloody clue how some departments work and find it amazing learning the mechanical process of physical effects – this extra is for you.
To sum up – a demonically possessed car that kills people ends up going up against a small town police squad. Do you need anymore convincing (other than mentioning that James Brolin is really hot in it, like let-me-peel-off-your-cop-uniform-and-sponge-you-down hot)? Of course not! Go and buy it folks!

Poet and performer Tony Plocido brings you his Poetry Performance Workshop. Each month, a small group gathers in the back room with poems in hand to practice performing in front of each other. This group is meant to help build confidence in reading poetry in front of others and finding the nuances in written word.
Here are the rules:
This event is FREE. No cost. Nothing.
This is NOT a writing workshop. This is a PERFORMANCE workshop. We are here to help each other perform better. Here are things to keep in mind when you come (and you should be here!)
1) Bring 1 to 3 pieces to read. You will probably only read one but it's good to have a selection.
2) Bring copies (4 to 6 copies), double spaced, if possible. This helps everyone else take notes on your performance but is not required.
3) BRING PAPER AND PEN. You will be taking notes on the other performers.
4) Lastly, do not bring your fear. This is a safe space. We are here to make you better.
You may bring other people's work. Again, this is a performance workshop, not a writing workshop. We just want you to learn how to perform your poetry, instead of just reading it.

This post was sponsored by Bush's Beans. All opinions are my own.
As a mother, I am always looking for ways to sneak more protein in my kids' diet. I feel like their main sources come from peanut butter and yogurt. I try to be creative but sometimes getting creative takes too long in the kitchen. I was super excited to find a recipe that would allow me to add more protein and fiber to our dinner without my littles even knowing using Bush's Best Great Northern Beans!
Most of you know that I have been counting my Macros, and in so doing am always on a protein hunt. One of my go to websites for mouthwatering healthy recipes is Dashing Dish. She has a way of taking the foods we love and transforming them into a healthier version. Protein packed chicken enchiladas?? YES, please! The secret to the extra creamy center is the Bush's Best Great Northern Beans! These beauties are super soft and smashable and pack a healthy punch. They're loaded with fiber and protein and tons of vitamins and minerals.
I went straight to Wal-Mart to stock up on Bush's Best Beans because beans really are such an easy and healthy addition to any meal. I made breakfast burritos this morning with egg whites, turkey bacon, sautéed peppers and onions, and Bush's Best Black beans, and they were seriously bomb-diggity. My Little Man also loves to just munch on Black Beans as a snack, and I love how super and easy they are to whip out and fill his belly quickly.
Friends. These enchiladas are so creamy and delicious, and totally Macro friendly! They were a huge hit at the dinner table and all of my kiddos gobbled them up and even asked for seconds. I would say that's definitely a healthy win in the MOM department. Here is my modified version of the Dashing Dish recipe:
Bush's Best Great Northern Bean and Buffalo Chicken Enchiladas
12 Flour Tortillas
1 can (14 oz.) Red Enchilada Sauce
1/2 cup Frank's Hot Sauce
2 Chicken Breast (about 2 cups) cooked, and shredded
1/2 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder
1/2 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1-2 Red and Orange peppers, sautéed
1 onion, sautéed
1 can (15 oz.) Bush's Best Great Northern Beans
1 can (4 oz.) Diced Green Chilies
1-2 cups Mozzarella Cheese
Boil Chicken on the stove; little tip- I can never stand to wait for my chicken to thaw completely and if I just throw it in the hot water I feel like it takes FOREVER to cook which I also have no patience for, so I slice up my semi-frozen chicken into strips and then toss it in the boiling water! It helps the chicken to cook faster and still stays juicy.
Sautée peppers and onions, set aside.
Shred Chicken while it's hot in Kitchen-Aid mixer with the paddle attachment (this will save you tons of tedious time). If you don't have one, you can chop it or shred with forks.
Mix together enchilada sauce and Frank's hot sauce in a small bowl.
Rinse, Drain, and smash Bush's Best Great Northern Beans with a fork on a separate plate.
Add Bush's Beans, cheddar cheese, greek yogurt, 3/4 of the sauce mixture, and garlic powder to the shredded chicken and mix together.
Dip tortillas in extra sauce mixture on a separate plate and coat both sides evenly. Place in your pan and fill with 2-3 spoonfuls of chicken mixture and peppers and onions. Roll tortillas into an enchilada shape and repeat until your pan is full.
Top with Mozzarella cheese and diced green chilies. Bake @ 350 for 20ish minutes, or until cheese is melted and enchiladas are heated through.
Eat and Enjoy! 🙂

From The Socialist newspaper, 18 November 2015
Reinstate sacked CWU reps
As reported in the Socialist last week, a longstanding Socialist Party member in the Communication Workers' Union (CWU) has had an appeal against unfair dismissal rejected by British Telecom, confirming his sacking after 38 years of service.
The member, Clive, is chair of the CWU Birmingham, Black Country & Worcester branch and is a leading lay rep of the union.
Clive has said: "I would like to thank all Socialist Party and National Shop Stewards Network (NSSN) supporters for the solidarity shown to me so far in my campaign for re-instatement. The number of likes on Facebook and the number of tweets has been amazing; many from people and organisations I don't follow and have never met. Hopefully BT now know that they are taking on an industrial and political movement and not an individual.
"Having support from union general secretaries, presidents, vice-presidents and executive members is both heartening and shows how seriously sacking a trade unionist is taken. I was particularly encouraged that my union general secretary Dave Ward re-tweeted the NSSN demanding the re-instatement of myself and John Vasey, the victimised CWU rep from Wakefield."
Clive worked in a BT call centre and was dismissed after an aggressive customer reported him to management just 33 seconds into a phone call. The decision was made without taking stress into account despite the local CWU branch reporting that 7% of staff at the call centre leave their jobs each month, some walking out mid shift. Management took the decision without consulting any medical advice or taking into account any mitigation.
An employment tribunal claim for unfair dismissal is currently pending. Clive is an NSSN steering committee member and the NSSN and Socialist Party will be supporting the campaign protesting the sacking and calling for his reinstatement.
Also John Vasey, a CWU postal rep in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, has been sacked on what his work colleagues recognise as stitched up charges. John is waiting for his appeal at the end of November.
The NSSN calls on all our supporters and affiliates to support John's campaign for reinstatement and his union the CWU.
Messages of protest to Jon Millidge, Royal Mail Group HR Director, c/o Tallents House, South Gyle Crescent, Edinburgh, EH12 9PB.

The Hatching [of two ducklings]
David Aisher and Kristi Roger invite you to watch the 'hatching' of two duckling dinghies recently acquired for their daughters Sophie and Penny. A short naming and christening ceremony took place on 9th April at the well known (and very classic) Elephant Boatyard, near the Hamble (UK). Sophie and Penny respectively named their boats, 'Swallow' and 'Amazon' with a splash of Prosecco. In a fluky and blustery breeze David and Sophie launched and sailed 'Amazon' while Kristi and Penny sailed away from the slipway in 'Swallow'.
The 9ft Duckling dinghy was designed by renowned yacht designer and sailor Uffa Fox, they were produced in mass by Fairey Marine, on the Hamble in the 1960's. Using the hot moulded double diagonal technique, a construction method very characteristic of Fairey Marine, they're strong and versatile, featuring a mahogany capping rail and sculling notch in the transom.
These two Ducklings join a very impressive linage of yachts in the Aisher family. They have hatched into, possibly, Britain's greatest sailing families – the Aisher's – famous for their offshore sailing successes, very closely attached to the Royal Ocean Racing Club; through several generations they commissioned the build(s) and campaigned the 'Yeoman's from the 1930's onwards. David's grandfather, Sir Owen Aisher was the Admiral of RORC and founded this succession of world-class yachting. The lucky dinghies 'Swallow' and 'Amazon' will join David and Kristi, Sophie and Penny as they cruise on board their yacht 'Thalia'.
Classic Yacht TV hopes this film inspires future Duckling sailors in the spirit of Swallows & Amazons.

Normally, those who obsessively focus on terrorism, while disregarding other events, are guilty of getting fooled by randomness. They see one epic event and conclude that it's a bigger deal than it really is, even if the actual threat doesn't mean its spectacularness.
In the case of the Detroit would-be bomber, we're getting fooled by randomness in the other direction. Because it didn't go off, it's not being treated as that big of a a deal, at least not by the President, who finally got around to interrupting his vacation today to speak on the matter.
Glynnis Macnicol of Mediatite sums it up pretty well:
[It was] exactly the sort of presser the President should have given three days ago — including the lack of tie and questions, because those are the sort of things you expect from rushed together statement from a president on vacation. Unfortunately, the casualness of his attire matched with the shortness of the statement, and the lack of questions felt a bit tone deaf considering the President and his advisers had the entire weekend to prepare for it. Moreover, they only served to underline concerns that the President perhaps did not have a grasp of the seriousness of the situation. Obama also "strongly condemned" the suppression of the protests in Iran (something he didn't do back in June).

D-Day invasion left behind stunning secrets
Posted by
The English Channel was churning the morning of June 6, 1944. A storm had delayed the launch of the largest amphibious invasion in the history of warfare.
The weather cleared just enough for Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, the supreme Allied commander of forces in Europe to declare: "OK, we'll go."
And so they did. American, British and Canadian troops sailed across the Channel from southern England and they landed along five beachfronts. They met ferocious resistance. The hardest task fell to the American forces landing at Omaha Beach. They had to scale cliffs and battle German soldiers dug in deeply.
The battle would be won eventually by the Americans, Brits and Canadians. They would leave the beach and begin fighting their way toward the German "Fatherland."
They left behind huge troves of equipment.
NOVA, the science series produced by PBS, looks for those items in an installment to be aired Wednesday at 8 p.m. on Panhandle PBS. "D-Day's Sunken Secrets" takes viewers under the English Channel to find Allied ships and aircraft sunk during the ferocious battle to retake Europe from the hands of the tyrants.
NOVA employed state-of-the-art technology to find these relics. As PBS notes in its online promotional trailer: "Dive teams, submersibles, and underwater robots will discover and identify key examples of Allied craft that fell victim to German shellfire, mines, and torpedoes, using the latest 3D-mapping tools to plot the relics on the sea floor."
NOVA also will show us some of the technology the Allies used to defeat the Germans -- and will interview veterans from that terrible battle who will tell their stories of what happened when they became part of arguably history's most decisive battle to end the world's most destructive war.
The Nazi tyrant/madman Adolf Hitler didn't expect the Allies to invade at Normandy. He had believed the brunt of the attack would come at Calais. He was mistaken. The Allies hit his forces hard and were able to storm off the beach and begin the liberation of western Europe.
This victory, though, came at tremendous cost in terms of human life and in equipment.
We've recovered the remains of the men who died that day. The equipment remains sunken under the English Channel.
NOVA's "D-Day's Sunken Secrets" gives us a peek at what was left behind.

In need of a little audition-spiration? Whether you're preparing to try out for the show or are just looking to get into the "SYTYCD" mood, here are 8 phenomenal past auditions we're still obsessing over.
Last year's Super Bowl gifted us a fantastically dance-y halftime show that included Kaycee Rice, Gabe de Guzman and Charlize Glass killing it alongside Missy Elliott. (Also Left Shark. NEVER FORGET LEFT SHARK.) And given that this year's halftime show lineup includes Bruno Mars and, um, Beyoncé, odds are good that we'll be treated to more top-shelf choreography come Sunday night.
But for those of us who can't wait that long for our Super Bowl dance fix, there's #DoTheChickenWing. Which is...well, what is it, exactly?
In short: It's a wonderfully bizarre little video starring Cyrus Spencer, Gev Manoukian, Amymarie Gaertner and one of last year's Super Bowl [dance] MVPs, Kaycee Rice, who duke it out over their party's final chicken wing.
It looks a little something like this.
In long: It's tied into YouTube's AdBlitz campaign, which gives us a sneak peek at some of the Super Bowl's best commercials. #DoTheChickenWing isn't quite a Super Bowl ad, though—rather, it's part of YouTube's "How to Win at Game Day" series, a collection of videos created by YouTube celebrities to hype AdBlitz. (Filmmaker/songwriter Scott Winn is the mastermind behind #DoTheChickenWing.)
In summary: I mean all you really need to know is that KAYCEE SPINS ON GEV'S HEAD.
Happy Super Bowl week, dance fam.
Want more Dance Spirit?
On a scale of one to I-need-to-get-down-RIGHT-NOW, how much do you love trap music?
Yep, me too. In case you fierce freestylers out there need some inspiration for the next time the beat drops, may I present tWitch, Glitch (aka Cyrus Spencer), Comfort Fedoke and SHEstreet dancing to "Soundclash" by Flosstradamus & TroyBoi? These four will school you on the possibilities of trap.
I love that each dancer has such a unique style, yet staying true to their preferences doesn't prevent them from playing with the music. When I hear trap, I tend to think about deep and heavy movements, but the dancers' ability to create contrast through their artistry totally changed the way I, as Mr. Balanchine would say, "saw the music."
Maybe this will become the new TGIF dance around the Dance Spirit office. Here's hoping!
Air travel is an awesome thing with a lot of un-awesome aspects to it. Security lines? Baggage fees? Teeny-tiny seats? That one guy with the B.O. who always, somehow, ends up seated next to you? Ugh.
Usually, by the time you're listening to an inane in-flight safety announcement—really, who doesn't know how to use a seat belt??—you're just about ready to scream.
But for people flying Virgin America, that's all about to change. Because the airline just did an incredibly savvy thing: It turned its safety video into a sweet, sweet song-and-dance number. (A "safety dance"! Get it?)
You will not be able to stop watching this thing. Directed by Jon Chu, it features the likes of Madd Chadd, Cyrus Spencer, Chris Scott, Tyne Stecklein and Phillip Chbeeb, plus music and lyrics by former "American Idol" contestant Todrick Hall. To give you a sense of its genius, I'll just say that my personal favorite moment is the "robot dance" led by Mr. Chadd demonstrating how to use inflatable vests. (That is definitely not a sentence I ever thought I would type.)
And you know what? I'll admit it: I did learn something about airline safety while watching the video (30 times in a row). Snaps to Virgin.
Remember a few weeks ago, when we caught American Ballet Theatre dancer Puanani Brown looking pretty great in her undies in a Fruit of the Loom ad? Well, apparently she got the brand hooked on dancers. They recently finished up their "Next Big Move" contest, with hundreds of movers and shakers auditioning to appear in a Fruit of the Loom spot.
But why are we really telling you this? Because we're now totally obsessed with one of the winners of the contest, 14-year-old Tucker Heim of Fort Worth, TX. With moves like his, we're guessing he has no trouble wooing the eighth-grade ladies. His dubstep-fueled routine at the contest's live audition in Dallas would have made Cyrus Spencer proud. (It definitely made Legacy, who was judging the audition, proud!)
Will Tucker's moves sell underwear? Uh, maybe. But are we now playing his video on repeat? That's a yes. Join the party:

Everspin Technologies has filed an amended S-1 form with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding its initial public offering (IPO). The company said in this most recent filing that it expects to price its 5 million shares at $8 per share, with an overallotment option for an additional 750,000. At this price the entire offering is valued up to $46 million. The company intends to list its shares on the Nasdaq under the symbol MRAM.
The underwriters for the offering are Stifel, Needham, Canaccord Genuity and Craig-Hallum Capital.
This is the leading provider of magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) solutions. Its MRAM solutions offer the persistence of non-volatile memory, a type of memory that retains information even in the absence of power, with the speed and endurance of random access memory (RAM), and they enable the protection of mission critical data particularly in the event of power interruption or failure.
Its MRAM solutions allow customers in the industrial, automotive and transportation, and enterprise storage markets to design high-performance, power-efficient and reliable systems without the need for bulky batteries or capacitors. This company is the only provider of commercially available MRAM solutions, and over the past eight years it has shipped over 60 million MRAM units.
Everspin offers its MRAM solutions with different densities and interfaces to address the various needs of customers. Its lower-density MRAM products, which it defines as having bit densities from 128kb to 16Mb, offer write-speeds on par with SRAM, with virtually unlimited endurance. The higher density products, which it defines as having bit densities at or greater than 64Mb, offer write-speeds on par with DRAM and have superior endurance compared to most other non-volatile memory technologies.
The company described its financial position as follows:
For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, and six months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded revenue of $24.9 million, $26.5 million and $12.9 million, gross margin of 52.6%, 52.7% and 55.7%, and a net loss of $10.2 million, $18.2 million and $10.0 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2016, we had 86 employees,
Everspin expects to use the net proceeds that it receives from this offering and the concurrent private placement for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including an estimated payment of $8.5 million due to GlobalFoundries in December 2016, research and development activities, sales and marketing activities and capital expenditures, to enhance existing and develop new products, expand manufacturing capabilities and to fund growth.

One more question.... Are we allowed to "add" walls to the second story? Say i'd like to open those niches on the second floor instead of the first?? the windows will be in the same place and no walls are added on the first floor..
do the tables need to be 3 individual tables, or can we use one table to seat the same number of people?
I have a question, how wide is the door leading into the hall?
Not sure if I am understanding what you mean...the tables must be at least 4 tables long. Number of students sitting at table (place settings) is up to you. Even if you use a 2-tile or 3-tile table, you must have it at least 4 tables end to end.Hope I answered your question (?)
I used an extra long table but placed 4 overlapping so I stuck to the rules...I have 4 tables..just mashed together..is that ok?

Cling and Margaret moved from Oden to a farm in the Pine Ridge area c.1927 where they had their own fruit orchard, sheep, milk cow, geese and ducks. They used the feathers to make feather mattress and pillows. The nearby river served many purposes. The children took their baths there, it was also their swimming hole and sometimes the "Big Wash" once a week was done in the river.

Give drunk drivers longer jail terms - grieving parents
The parents of a four-year-old boy killed by a drunk driver have called for tougher sentences in drink-driving cases.
Gillian and Ronan Treacy lost their son Ciaran when a vehicle crossed the white line and ploughed into their car.
The head-on collision occurred in April 2014 as Gillian was returning home to Portarlington with the couple's sons, Ciaran and Sean, after spending a day with their grandparents in Stradbally, Co Laois.
Ronan said there needs to be a "fairer way" of dealing with drunk drivers.
"Whether it be tougher sentences...I would like to even see it aligned with the UK.
"I think they are around 14 years whereas here I think the maximum is 10 years."
Ms Treacy was seriously injured in the collision.
She said that after the collision she feared the car would go up in flames.
"I was asking Sean to get Ciaran's belt off so the two of them could get out of car, I knew at that stage I couldn't get out.
"I did fear the worst - I thought Ciaran was badly injured or that he was dead."
Gillian's husband Ronan was at home with their youngest child Caoimhe when he received a call about the collision.
"I just didn't know what I was getting into," he said.
"I got Caoimhe out of the cot. I arrived at the scene in total disbelief. There were ambulances, fire brigades, guards, just mayhem. In my wildest dreams, you couldn't imagine what I walked into.
"I was ushered straight to Sean, who needed to be calmed down."
He had a couple of bruises and was sore but he was hysterical out of fear.
"I kept asking about Ciaran and they said, 'He's okay, we're working on him'.
"I couldn't get near the car to see Gillian.
"I would have known all the local guys [in the emergency crews], known them all personally.
"It was etched across their faces."
Speaking on RTÉ One's 'Claire Byrne Live' last night, the young couple said life "has been tough" since the collision.
Gillian is set for another operation on her lower leg in the next few weeks.
Ronan said their children, Sean and Caoimhe, are "doing good".
"Kids are a lot stronger than grown-ups, they deal with grief a little bit differently. They're stronger than we give them credit for."
Travelling salesman Finbarr O'Rourke (40), of Laurel Drive, Portlaoise, Co Laois, was jailed for seven years and six months for causing the death of Ciaran.
He was also disqualified from driving for 20 years.

Fake followers undermine confidence in the digital economy.
Is this "social sales rock star" talking to real people? Is the "social media rock star" reaching a real audience?
StatusPeople offers a way to check on the twitter accounts fake followers.
Status people has garnered press coverage and is frequently used by social media experts such as Gareth Davies to evaluate social media accounts.
If it's good enough for Gareth, it's good enough for me.
Both Keith Gill and Gareth Davies are leaders at EmpireKred, the gamified social media stock market simulation.
Buying followers is against Twitter's Terms of Service.
Let's look at Keith Gill, AKA DigitalKeith and see what we find!
Oh dear, not so good social media.
According to Chris Jones,
It's easy to spot fake followers. And when you have paid for followers, it sends out a message that your are desperate, inauthentic and that you really don't get the point of social media.
Why would anyone buy followers? Vanity? To make themselves look bigger and more engaged than the competition? To look like they have greater marketing reach than they actually do?
Chris recommends Twitercounter.com to check for recent spikes in followers.
First was an actor with a surprisingly large amount of followers. I first checked her/him out on Twitter Counter (http://twittercounter.com). Her/his chart shows a linear decline followed by linear growth. This is a sure footprint of some kind of 'bot' system. The real tell is that EVERY day was the same decrease in followers. Then she/he began growing again (as she/he paid for more followers). Again, the growth is exactly the same every day.
Keith Gill had 9,170 on October first, and 17,018 as of October 5.
That's a 7848 gain in that short time.

A group of teen-age computer crackers allegedly used thousands of stolen Internet accounts to probe the networks of two national nuclear weapons laboratories, according to law enforcement authorities in California last week.
At least five crackers, between the ages of 15 and 17, compromised accounts at 17 Internet service providers in the U.S., Romania and Australia. They used the accounts to attack nine targets, including the Sandia and Oak Ridge National Laboratories and Harvard University, according to Capt. Jan Hoganson of the Sacramento Valley High-Tech Crimes Task Force in California.
Hoganson said the crackers managed to gain root access to computers at Harvard, but just scanned the national lab networks to look for vulnerabilities. The intruders stole 200,000 accounts alone from San Francisco-based Pacific Bell Internet Services for use in the attack.
According to Hoganson, the stolen accounts were used to scan for open network ports at the labs that could be used for subsequent attacks. Hoganson emphasized that the laboratory networks themselves weren't compromised.
