A government-commissioned survey released last week showed that foreign nationals in Taiwan gave the nation a score of 87 for overall satisfaction with Taiwanese hospitality, the highest score in the 36 items examining the country's living environment for foreigners.
A lower score was given to the bilingual signs category, with overall satisfaction for bilingual markings on the packaging of various products receiving the lowest score, at 58 points, the survey showed.
The survey polled what it called "white-collar foreign workers" living in the country, a bit of a departure from past surveys, which polled foreigners coming to Taiwan for travel, study or business.
Asked why this year's survey limited itself to "white-collar foreign workers," Sung Yu-hsieh (宋餘俠), deputy minister of the Research, Development and Evaluation Commission, said the survey would serve as a reference for the government to bring the living environment for foreigners in line with international standards.
"The purpose of the survey was to attract more international talent," he said. "Foreigners working on construction sites or working as housemaids come to Taiwan through specific channels and their opinion is solicited by the Council of Labor Affairs from time to time."
Government statistics showed that 373,190 foreign workers were employed in the country by the end of October, while the commission said the population of white-collar foreign workers was estimated at 18,645.
Sung said that regardless of which groups were targeted in the survey, foreign nationals' overall satisfaction with the country's living environment continued to increase, from 39 percent in 2006, 40 percent last year and 49 percent this year.
From a maximum of 100 points, the overall satisfaction rate this year was 67.9 points, he said.
The survey comprised seven categories. An average score of 69.1 was received for the "satisfaction with overall government performance" category, 66.1 for "overall satisfaction with bilingual signage," 65.8 for "overall satisfaction with bilingual Web sites," 64.9 for "overall satisfaction with emergency assistance information," 67.2 for "overall satisfaction with service facilities for foreigners," 87 for "overall satisfaction with Taiwanese friendliness toward foreigners" and 82.2 for "overall satisfaction with social cohesion."
Respondents found bilingual Web sites and bilingual signage most unsatisfactory.
For bilingual signage, the highest score (66.1 points) was given to hospitals and clinics, followed by financial institutions, government agencies and department stores, as well as schools, hotels, restaurants and sightseeing spots.
Lung Wen-bin (龍文斌), a counselor at Shih Hsin University commissioned by the commission to conduct the survey, said the lack of bilingual markings on food products, inadequate descriptions on the country of origin and contents of food products or Chinese markings covering other markings on imported food items were most troubling.
Respondents gave 58 points to bilingual markings on food products.
Sung said different spellings on various road signs resulting from the adoption of different Chinese Romanization was expected to be resolved as the Ministry of Education has recently drawn up plans to replace Tongyong Pinyin with Hanyu Pinyin, starting next year.

Two garage punk bands, two killer debut slabs. The Devil Dogs were a New York band influenced by 60's garage rock and 70's punk of Ramones, DMZ, The Dictators, New york Dolls… This is vinyl rip of their classic '89 debut lp on Crypt records, a mix of great original tunes as Action, 354, C'mon Little Baby, Gimme That Girl, Brand New Chevy and fine covers of DMZ [Ball Me Out], The Dictators [Stay With Me], Ramones [Babysitter] or Thee Mighty Caesars [Suck The Dog, Pussywhipped].
The Swingin' Neckbreakers from Trenton, New Jersey, are in the same vein with little more influences from the 60's garage rock and 50's r&b, trash and r'n'r and 70's punk/power pop of The Real Kids, Flamin' Groovies and 80's garage revivalists as Lyres. They can best be described as kinda like a cross between The Sonics and Ramones! Their '93 debut "Live For Buzz" on Telstar records opens with great garage punk stomper "You" followed up with cool covers of Lord Luther's '59 r&b "Thinkin' Man's Girl" and garage legends The Squires "Same All Over The World". Other cool tunes are originals "Take Your Life", "Little Pink Medicine" and "I Live For Buzz" and killer covers of The Kinks "I Took My Baby Home", Tony Sheridan "Shake It Some More" and The Sonics "Boss Hoss". I already have posted these slabs before on my old blog but hey!… This is A MUST!

So, the not-entirely unexpected planning application is now in from Persimmon homes and Sompting Estate to build 520 houses in West Sompting.
This comes after the approval for the New Monks Farm/IKEA development last year.
The traffic gridlock in West Street, Sompting, is of course well documented, and it doesn't take a genius to work out the effect it will have with all these new houses and a failure to provide some sort of bypass to the existing A27.
How can anyone in their right mind allow this to go ahead?
It is not just the traffic, of course, there are other parts of the infrastructure which have been ignored, such as schools and GP surgeries which will not be able to cope.
Maybe this time our elected Adur councillors will stand up for their constituents and, when the time comes, vote down these ridiculous plans. However, I'm not holding my breath!
Phil Moggridge

Quick Reference
Austrian founder of anthroposophy.
Born in Kraljeve, Croatia, the son of a Catholic stationmaster, Steiner was educated at the University of Vienna, where he studied natural science. From 1890 to 1897 he worked at Weimar, editing Goethe's writings on natural history. At this point Steiner's career as an academic scholar ended when he came under the influence of Annie Besant (1847–1933) and the theosophist movement. For some ten years Steiner served the movement but in 1912 he broke away to found his own school of anthroposophy. Steiner established the headquarters of his new movement at the so-called 'Goetheanum' at Dornach near Basel.
Like its theosophical ancestor, Steiner's anthroposophy is essentially eclectic, with elements taken from eastern religions, early Christian gnosticism, mystic literature, and classical German philosophy. It has consequently been quite self-contained. More influential have been his educational theories with their emphasis on play and creative activity in the learning process; Steiner schools are operating in many parts of the western world.

1775 T ST NW, Washington, D.C.
Dupont Circle
Offered at: $1,950,000
Lease Option: $11,500/month NNN
Whether you're a large organization seeking to lay down roots in one of Washington's premier neighborhoods or a small to medium-size business that wants to protect itself from rising rents while simultaneously building assets for the organization, 1775 T Street NW is an ideal solution. Featuring nearly 3600 square feet of finished space, the bay-front Dupont Circle Grande Dame Victorian offers the perfect balance of being located in the heart of the city yet on a quiet and peaceful block that offers a seamless transition from commercial to residential. The property features two off-street parking spaces to boot (additional fee for leases).
While the property boasts an impressive and grand façade from 1905, you'll appreciate the full gut-renovation completed in 1985 of the interior that transformed the space into a versatile layout for offices as well as all new electrical, plumbing, and two HVAC systems.
The brilliant and versatile layout features four suites which allows the new owner or tenant the ability to occupy the entire space or just one or multiple suites while subletting the remaining. The existing configuration features a reception area, 7 private offices, two open workspaces large conference room on the top floor, four half bathrooms, and three storage/kitchenette areas.
While the property is presently configured as commercial office space, it's Mixed Use Zoning (MU-4) permits a future owner to convert the space back to residential use whether a single-family home, multi-family apartment building or even condominiums. Or, consider a combination of uses, i.e. a fabulous apartment on the upper floors with the ground and first level office space? With residential prices reaching upwards of $900+/square foot, you won't regret additional investment into this grand-dame on such a desirable block of Dupont Circle. View Zoning Report
The Mixed-Use (MU) zones provide for mixed-use developments that permit a broad range of commercial, institutional, and multiple dwelling unit residential developments at varying densities. The MU-4 zone is a mixed-use zone that is intended to be applied throughout the city consistent with the density designation of the Comprehensive Plan. A zone may be applied to more than 1 density designation. The MU-4 zone is intended to:
- Permit moderate-density mixed-use development;
- Provide facilities for shopping and business needs, housing, and mixed uses for large segments of the District of Columbia outside of the central core; and
- Be located in low- and moderate-density residential areas with access to main roadways or rapid transit stops, and include office employment centers, shopping centers, and moderate bulk mixed-use centers.
Located right off of the bustling 18th Street corridor that connects Dupont with Adams Morgan, this fantastic location offers the perfect blend of neighborhood appeal with convenient location for your employees and clients alike. Just 1/2 miles north of the Dupont Circle Metrorail Station and flanked by Connecticut Ave and 16th Street, the location is fantastic for those taking public transit or driving. With a plethora of dining options, cafes, and other businesses in the vicinity, it's no surprise that this property boasts a WalkScore of 97 and Bike Score of 90, labeling this location a "Walker's Paradise" and "Very Bikeable." The Washington Hilton Hotel and The Hepburn are just 1.5 blocks away.

Welcome to BACK2MYROOTS B2MR regular postings of fresh new topic's
If it's a bad look done at home it's sad. If it's a bad look and not very well executed cut style or colour done professionally that's even worse.
Why is it? how is some people can go out without looking in the mirror and being honest asking the question. Does this look good?
As stylist we need to remember that a client leaving the salon is our walking promotion.It's a free walking bill board or the reason why your not getting recommended. Standards creative skill. consultation with clients about what will work!
below some examples of bad looks and why!
over processed candy cane hair bleached within an inch of it's life shapeless hair cut looking like she stuck a finger in a electric socket! would you be proud of this creation?
When you see bad hair out in public do you ever think? What was going through the person mind who created that? Or do they know how bad that looks? Did they pay for that? I do it amazes me what stylist's can do produce that is deemed acceptable. How low standards can get. What poor standards people will accept as looking good !
The same can be said for dress sense looking in the mirror and thinking maybe not! Or for me this hair do is wrong on so many levels. Its shape well lack of ! Its colour. In this case a stylist has taken three looks and tried to join them together very badly.
I'm not sure if the nape and the nasty line there .The crown and that flat bald like area . Or the weight line carried round to the sides and face. It's just wrong on all levels.
Oh! Perfect a side view to show off what I am trying to point out! No flow. Disconnection it not an excuse for total shapeless mess. The crown area is two short and blunt . Cutting hair short does not create height! or volume. Texture does with shears or a razor and an understanding of weight shape and form, well that and styling.
This to me looks like she turned her head up side down and blasted it with a hairdryer. Sadly the shape or lack there of does allow for a lazy styling approach .The blonde is a nothing colour dull patchy leopard spotting caused by over layering coloured area's. No thought has been given to shape look or colour not to mentions the clients features and dress sense or lack of.
This is all a classic example of not caring and low standards. In this instance. The stylist not only let's the client down but also them selves for it is no advert to produce work like this.
Want more? Ok How about this look:
What does this say to you? Would you produce this ? Would you be proud to say this totally represents my work and who I am ? Hum not so much ha!
Again really bad choice of colours and look. Whether the client did this her self or paid for it .Well it's a rat's nest. Why do people go out looking like this. Because they really take very little time to think does this look good ! do I feel good! If your a stylist looking at this say to your self I am better than this ! If you are a client then say! From now on I will take time to make an effort to look and feel good.
In closing It is possible to see a look that works that is well done I think that it was the contrast of these three women all taken at the same location that set this topic in motion.
For me this is a well executed little cut. A really well done colour it work and suites the women. I hope this brings my point home that as stylist's we have to consider so much not just a hair do. we have to work with and cater for all sorts and types!
But life style. The way the client looks. What she wears. Does she really care about appearance. Some women don't getting a hair cut or colour is just a routine event,We have the skill and ability to make a difference to open their eye's
Where does all this start With the image we present and the service the consultation the honest sound advise we offer. can you do you do this ? Do you really care? Don't be any thing other than the very best you can. Never settle for second best as a Stylist or as a client.
We attract what we project and present that look that say's this is me. Or as a stylist's it says. This is what i can do for you. Standards never let them slip !!!! Mike B2MR

STOP the MIND's Influence on YOU Part IV
Read part I in the series: https://healbyrule.wordpress.com/2013/01/31/how-to-stop-the-mind-influencing-us-part-i/
Part II: "The need for Letting GO" – https://healbyrule.wordpress.com/2013/02/07/the-need-for-letting-go/
Part III: "Letting GO in Action" – https://healbyrule.wordpress.com/2013/02/11/letting-go-in-action/
Your child is not studying
Letting go proves to be very difficult for the mother. Between feelings/emotions and action there is no gap. So she gets angry and scolds him.
Then she will feel guilty and pamper him to appease him. During this process, the purpose of the son to study has been lost.
How to manage such a situation?
Whenever any emotion arises, ask the questions:
- What are the thoughts?
- What is the emotion behind the thought(s)?
- I accept this thought
- Can I release it?
By asking questions, you are creating a gap between thoughts and actions.
Will he study if I release the thought? He has not studied so far anyway.
Try this technique, release your anger and do the action. Then see the results for yourself whether he studies or not.
Why there are communication barriers between mother and son?
Emotions block the communication.
What is the communication required here? He has to listen to us for him to study.
There can be three types of desires here.
Desire to control or change the person
He has to study very hard. He has to become an Engineer and so on.
A framework is present here:
- Release the thought one after another
- Do I want to change this person/child?
- If I say yes, can I release my desire to control the person?
- We are only releasing the desire, and we are not releasing the action here.
- I release my desire to control the person. Only then your anger will go.
Desire for more security – feeling of insecurity
Is there is any desire to feel more secure?
Only if he studies well he will do well and then I will become free.
Where there is fear there is no presence of Divinity. Only Satan is present.
I release my fear.
These desires are born with ego.
Desire for approval
Others should recognize my son's talent. Others should appreciate us (by appreciating my son's excellence in his studies). People have to complement us (how well you have brought him up).
Another example where a husband desires his wife should treat him properly when he comes home from office.
Release that desire.
What if she appreciates you or not? You let go the craving for recognition.
More and more you should indulge in releasing thoughts, like a game.
Rule your mind instead of mind ruling you
Now mind is managing your life.
Instead, manage it yourself.
Then you do not need a teacher. You do not need anybody.
Therefore, just let go all the thoughts.
What this technique can do
- Achieving your goals. We are not saying no for achievement. We are only entitled for action and not fruits for the action.
- Keep saying release and go beyond likes and dislikes.
- Decision-making
- Breaking bad habits
- Better Health and Wealth
- Good Relationships
- Build better parent and children relationships
- In your career you will be able to do wonders
In entire life, you can let go and release. Everything will happen without your intervention.

Letting GO in Action

STOP the MIND's Influence on YOU Part III
Read part I in the series: https://healbyrule.wordpress.com/2013/01/31/how-to-stop-the-mind-influencing-us-part-i/
And Part II: "The need for Letting GO" – https://healbyrule.wordpress.com/2013/02/07/the-need-for-letting-go/
How to bring the mind to do letting go?
Let us say, you are angry.
Then affirm, "I am not the mind. I feel angry."
Here you have changed "I am angry" to "I feel angry".
If you are happy then affirm, "I feel happy", and so on.
Prepare a checklist of emotions
List the emotions you are feeling currently.
Irrespective of whether they are positive or negative, release them.
Let us see an example
Somebody cheats you.
How you let go the emotions attached with this incident?
List the emotions first.
For example:
- Let him go to hell
- He is not fair
- How can he do this to me, when I have done so much to him?
(One thought will generate another thought)
Take the first one "Let him to hell".
- Affirm, "I accept this thought."
- I ask the mind, "Can I release it?"
- If it says no, then I question back the mind, "When can I release it?"
- If it keeps quiet, then I ask the mind, "Can I release at least 10% of the thought?"
- If it says yes, then I release the 10%.
It is just a mind game. Playing games with mind like this will confuse it.
A confused mind cannot have any impact on your actions.

Creator's Guide to Hang w/
As a content creator – it's important to me that people be able to access that content. On Hang w/ – I don't have to worry that people I send my links are not able to access the content within. That's a major issue with a platform like Periscope – which requires you to remain within the platform to view – and as of publishing – do not have an Android app either – closing off a large portion of your audience. Unless of course your podcast is about Apple devices. In which case – you are set.
To be completely honest, one of Hang w/'s only drawbacks is the lack of diverse content creators consistently producing great and unique live content. That drawback can work for you, however – if you have something to share – people are out there looking for something good to watch. Plus, if you have already built up an audience through social media – then streaming to them with Hang w/ is easier than ever – and you don't have to worry about people being unable to watch your stream – just because they are on Android, or on their computers. Anyone can watch.
What Should Creators Do on Hang w/?
- Stream a session at your latest public speaking gig, public event, or meetup
- Host a game show or contest.
- Already have another show online or on TV?
~ A behind-the scenes look at your production process.
~ Extended clips and longer interviews by leaving Meerkat running when your regular broadcast has ended (or vice versa)
- Traveling somewhere new and interesting? Show the world!
- Personalized how-to videos will do great here too:
~ Show off that latest recipe you thought of by streaming your cooking experience
~ Whatever it is you do – turn on Hang w/ in the office and show off!
- Already have another show online or on TV?
- Already have another show online or on TV?
What Shouldn't Creators Do on Hang w/?
- Interacting with Viewers While Driving. Stop this. Not only is it illegal in most states, and thus against the Hang w/ Terms of Service… but it's also irresponsible. Even if you don't use your hands – distracted driving is dangerous. Stop risking other people's lives to stroke your own ego with a live stream of your day. You can however show people a ride home safely by mounting your phone like a Russian dashboard cam – you never know what your camera might catch. Works best with a Go Pro.
- Stream people without their consent.
- Language, Nudity. Try to be respectful of other people – don't surprise them with graphic scenes or sounds – they may be watching or listening in the office. Of course, you can do what you want, assuming it's legal for you to do so – and I can't stop you – this is just a plea for creators to be considerate of others.
Go Live on Hang w/
Going live on Hang w/ is easy. Simply title (and hashtag) your broadcast, select your privacy and sharing settings, and click the red button to start! Unlike the other streaming apps, you get a 5-second countdown to mount your phone or fix your hair before you get started. No more accidental crotch shots streaming out to your audience. Also, you may want to wear pants while live streaming… just a tip.
Unlike Meerkat and Periscope, you can stream live from your smartphone TODAY even if you are only on an Android device. There are, however, a few features that are not yet available on Android (but coming soon, according to the founder of Hang w/ himself). Hang w/ users on iOS get a few additional features for their live streams:
- Use a GoPro to stream live.
- Switch camera mid-stream. One feature coming very very soon to Android is the ability to switch between front-facing and rear-facing device cameras while streaming.
- Automatically save your broadcast to your device. Before you launch your stream, make sure the "save" button is on to save the stream to your device when it's over (found next to the Facebook, Twitter, and Location buttons in the stream launch screen). Don't worry, you can export your stream later too.
- Use filters on your stream. Choose from Hang w/ Blue, Color Burst, Vintage, 8-bit, and Blob.
During the stream, you can easily access additional controls and information about your audience. You can see how long you have been streaming live, how many are viewing, how many likes your stream has received, review user profiles, follow new viewers, and more.
Once your live stream is over – simply press the red button one more time to end the broadcast. From the Post-Broadcast screen – you can edit the broadcast title, share the replay on your social media channels or with specific Hang w/ followers and friends that may have missed your stream, or go ahead and launch a brand new broadcast right away.
The last option, to launch a new broadcast immediately is vital, because as a user, you are by default only permitted to stream for up to 15 minutes at any one time. Though some see this as a major drawback – it does keep newcomers from spamming the "live now" and discover tabs with streams full of non-stop cameras, with users who aren't even in front of their phones.
Get Discovered on Hang w/
When you log into your Hang w/ app you start in the "Discover" tab. From your favorite actors and artists, fitness insctructors, photographers, chefs – whatever you may enjoy – Hang w/ likely has a featured broadcast about it! Not only do they seek out those streams themselves – The Hang w/ team is very active on their own platform – they are on the lookout for the best broadcasts and broadcasters – but with over 3,000,000 live broadcasts – that can be difficult.
If you feel that you, or a specific broadcast, should be featured in the main discovery area – or in a specific channel, you can contact Hang w/ yourself at: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Get Verified on Hang w/
If you have over 100,000 followers on social media, or just have a great idea in mind for your channel – contact Hang w/ to get verified via firstname.lastname@example.com. With a verified profile, stream up to one hour at a time.
Use a GoPro to Stream on Hang w/
Hang w/ users on iOS with cell data plans can now stream live using their Go Pro cameras. This is something that really makes Hang w/ shine as a streaming option.
Something to note is that the GoPro feature will capture video from the camera, but audio will continue to be picked up by the iOS device. This means you can easily attach your GoPro to your flying drone, and narrate the action yourself.
This is really ideal for people on the go or on vacation. There is a noticeable delay between audio and video, however – so you'll want to use this for videos that are narrated more than spoken directly to camera. Mount the GoPro on your car's dashboard, on the front of your bike, or on a helmet as you do something extreme!
- Turn on your GoPros Wifi
- Turn on your device's Wifi and connect to your GoPro
- Launch Hang w/ and Go LIVE!
When creating a stream on iOS, click "Use GoPro" at the top of the screen to connect.
Your Hang w/ Inbox
Hang w/ users can send each other messages inside the app by tapping the message icon on a user's profile page. Are you an influencer and worried about spam? Hang w/ Verified Users can only be messaged by people they follow or by other Verified Users.
In the inbox is where you'll find any messages sent to you as well as a running tab of the recent activity on your profile and streams. See when users followed you, and immediately check out their own profiles yourself – follow them back, or give them access to private streams.
Your Hang w/ Profile
Your profile is you home base. Head here to review and watch your past live streams as well as delete or restrict replays.
You even have a corresponding web profile, found at http://hangwith.me/[USERNAME]. My username (same as on Twitter, Meerkat, and Periscope) is @socializations, thus my public profile is found at http://hangwith.me/socializations.
Your web profile even allows viewers to watch your past streams – with comments and all! If you log into the Hang w/ browser interface yourself, you can download your streams to your computer right from the browser too, for easy editing and upload to a service like YouTube or Vimeo.
You can also login through your browser to update your name, username, email, profile picture and personal quote.
Not only can you create some great streaming content for your social media channels and on your web profile page on HangWith.me – but you can even embed your Hang w/ profile and streams on your website by using just one line of 'iframe' code.
Whenever you are live on Hang w/ you'll be live on your own site.
Even when you aren't live – your website visitors can browse your public live stream archives.
Monetize Your Live Streaming on Hang w/
Hang w/ displays ads before and after broadcasts (skipped after only a few seconds, just like YouTube "True View" advertisements). Users approved for monetizations can eart 25% of the net advertising revenue earned by Hang w/ from your broadcasts. The more views a broadcast receives, the more ads that can be shown, and the more money you will earn. Payouts are made monthly at a minimum of $10.
Verified users with advertising category conflicts or those that have sponsors of their own can contact Hang w/ – they are very accommodating. Hang w/ partners with advertising networks who provide quality advertising content to users. Applying for monetization is simple – simply head to "More > Monetization" in the Hang w/ app.
Please note – even with advertising and monetization – Hang w/ understands the importance that creators own their own work. As stated in the Terms of Service for Hang w/: "You retain all ownership rights in the User Content that you post."
Subdomains And Forwarding: Your Best Friends
It is no secret that I love subdomains. My website here is andrij.co – so I made myself two additional subdomains, one for "hangwith" and one for "stream."
hangwith.andrij.co goes to my profile page (find yours at hangwith.me/yourusername)
stream.andrij.co is useful if I schedule a stream ahead of time or to show off one specific stream from your archive as an example, as I can link it to the web viewer.
This way I can promote the same links over and over again – and old links shared on multiple social networks won't ever die – you'll always retain control of those shares – even if Hang w/ were to disappear.
Live Streaming Gear
How does someone get the most out of their Hang w/ stream? From selfie sticks, to lights, lenses, and mounts – I love all of these options. Surely – there are many companies that make the products below – but I went ahead and found reliable Amazon Prime providers who can guarantee not only a low price but fast delivery to US customers. Personally, I am a big fan of the clip-on lavalier microphone – great for sitting at your desk and answering questions for your viewers.
Please note – people will think you are crazy if you are just walking around with a head mount with your phone. Recommended for only those situations where you have to be hands-free – not just because you are lazy.
Let's say you are a mechanic, wishing to show people a "mechanic's eye view" of the engine – knowing that if you can see it, your viewers can too. Maybe you work in the kitchen, and don't want to be adjusting your streaming device and then touching food – you could use it to give viewers an intimate cooking experience, right from your point of view.
Selfie Stick
Mic – Quality
Mic – Value
Body Harness
Head Harness

In George Lucas's heyday, movies sold toys. Now it's the other way around. After Transformers and G.I. Joe turned out to be just as resistant to film critics as they are to Decepticons and Cobra respectively, Warners has acquired the film rights to Lego. There is no director or logline yet, so we've come up with a list of various American auteurs and imagined the narratives they might construct out of Denmark's most beloved export. (VF Daily will settle for "story by" credit should any of these end up on screen.)
Steven Spielberg: Troubled by her parents' divorce, a little girl (Elle Fanning) builds her own fantasy world when she discovers she has the power to give life to Lego.
Michael Bay: A Danish madman encases Copehagen in Lego, rigging the dome to a nuke that will go off if a single piece is missing. Who you gonna call? Surprisingly well-adjusted Lego dork Jarl Fredrickssen (Will Smith)!
Woody Allen: A neurotic playwright finds he makes more progress with his Lego therapist than with his real one.
Spike Lee: A large box of different-colored Lego sits in the backseat of a car on the hottest day of the year. Can they work together to roll down a window, or would they rather melt in the face of Lego integration?
Eli Roth: A small group of interlocking plastic bricks decide to take a fly-by-night Eastern European vacation package on the cheap and suddenly find themselves trapped in the lair of a sadist who cruelly delights in forcing them to couple with Tinkertoys. Absolutely chilling.Nora Ephron: A man and a woman fall in love after she fakes an orgasm over a Lego salad.
Jon Favreau: Industrialist playboy and brilliant engineer Tony Stark builds a suit out of Lego in order to protect the world from evil. Unfortunately Lego, while fitting together well, are terrible protection. Stark and his suit are destroyed in the first ten minutes of the film.
Wes Anderson: A precocious child spends four years locked in his bedroom in a fevered attempt to make Lego coruduroy.
Tyler Perry: A hardworking career woman discovers it doesn't matter that her out-of-work boyfriend made her an engagement ring out of Lego, as long as he truly loves her.
Martin Scorsese: A regular Lego guy from the Lego neighborhood gets sucked into the Lego mob after shooting a Lego cop.

Call Only Campaigns with Third Party Call Tracking
We have been experimenting with Call Only Campaigns in Google AdWords.
Call Only Campaigns are like regular search campaigns but they are only eligible to run on mobile phones. Basically, a user sees your ad, clicks on it and their phone app opens with your number pre-dialled.
And it doesn't matter where a user clicks. There is a Call Now button on the ads, but wherever they click, the result is the same - they are primed to place the call.
At this point we find many people panic. They simply weren't ready to place a call to your business. They were expecting to be redirected to your website and then have the opportunity to browse your offer, find out a little more about your company and then... maybe... give you a call.
Instead, most people simply drop their phone and wonder how they did that.... "Surely I didn't hit the Call Now button, or did I ??"

Inmates are the other prison members in the facility. Different amounts of them are in each prison facility. Items can be bought, sold, and given, and they can ask for a favour. Inmates can be talked to (by left-clicking on them), resulting in an inmate's improved Opinion of you by 1+ for every quote they say. This does not apply to random things an Inmate will say. You can also give them most items in the game, reactions differ, but in most occasions their opinion will increase. They can also be picked up and you can take or put things in their pockets when downed, which is useful for smuggling things through contraband detectors as inmates can't trigger them. Simply put them down in the detector and collect on the other side. If Guards see you holding or stealing from an inmate, your heat will increase by 10% and they will attack you. If an inmate has an opinion of at least 80, the player may recruit that inmate by pressing "Q" while near them to fight alongside the player and later dismiss them if needed (you need at least 90 opinion on console for inmates to be recruited). Recruiting inmates doesn't work in The Escapists 2. When inmates are sent to attack, they can pass through locked doors.
If an inmate's opinion is low enough, they may decide to attack the player, though guards will generally attack the inmate in response. Of course, inmates may randomly attack each other, often when wandering in prison halls, during exercise period, or shower block.
Note: If an inmate has a higher opinion, he will sell items at a lower price, as well as if he has a lower opinion, he will sell items at a higher price (if he sells something).
Players[edit | edit source]
There are currently 9 different inmates you can choose to be, those of which are shown below (in Stalag Flucht, Jungle Compound and San Pancho the inmate's outfits will be brown because they wear POW Outfits).
The default names of the inmates are as follows (from left to right above): Rabbit, Maru, YoungBuck, BaldEagle, OldTimer, Tango, BillyGoat, Lifer, Froseph and the DLC characters Clint, Buddy and Connelly.
Bugs[edit | edit source]
Inmates can sometimes be seen stuck in walls. What causes this is unknown. Sometimes they can get stuck going left and right at the same time, causing them to just spin in place. This can also happen to guards, too. Also in the Jingle Cells prison, one inmate walks into the wall outside at showers.

In an era of globalization, the CCIS must be a springboard towards the foreign countries for its operators, in the search of new markets and in order to promote Tunisian exports.
Thus, many twinning and cooperation agreements were born with the Chambers of Commerce and organizations disseminated throughout the world.
The SCCI wove very strong bonds with a number of African and Arab countries with which the exchanges are multiple: Tebessa, Oasis and the Sahel (Algeria), Rabat-Sale (Morocco), Misourata (Libya), Mali, Dakar (Senegal), Niger, Burkina-Faso, Alexandria (Egypt), Durban (South Africa), Amman (Jordan), Bahrain, Qatar, Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates).
The Sfax Chamber has also privileged relations with Europe: Thessalonique (Greece), Grenoble, Villefranche and Beaujolais, Rouen and Cherbourg (France), Antwerp (Belgium), Barcelona (Spain), Istanbul (Turkey), Romania, Katowice (Poland), and the Commodity Exchange of Moscow (Russia).
Meanwhile, thanks to its opening policy and to its research collaboration task, the SCCI also went into partnership with chambers and organizations of the Asian continent: Sialkot and Karachi (Pakistan) and the Indian Industrial Confederation of Mumbai (India).
The entrepreneurship and the effectiveness of its international relations made it possible for the S CCI to take part in important projects, in particular through the Association of the Mediterranean Chambers of Commerce (ASCAME) and its association with Eurochambers: Mercuremed, ArchiMèdes, Eumédis... Or within the framework of other international projects with: the mixed Chambers of Commerce, USAID (United States Agency for International Development), ECTI (Exchanges and Technical meetings International), IESC (International Executive Service Body), GTZ (German Technical Co-operation)...

Ben Brust
Niels Giffey
Julius Randle
Scottie Wilbekin
THE MODERATOR:Â We'll get started with questions for the student‑athletes.
Q. For Julius first, like to know how much you, just as a fan, have watched and become familiar with Wisconsin basketball over the years? Ben, please answer the same question in reverse about Kentucky.
JULIUS RANDLE: Just growing up I've always known Wisconsin just to be a hard‑nosed, tough team. They play really good defense. Of course, our team's already been informed that this is one of the better offensive teams that they have had, and they really can score the ball, move the ball. They have always just had a great coach.
So definitely it will be a challenge for us.
BEN BRUST: There's definitely a lot of rich history with the University of Kentucky's basketball program. Looking back all the way to the day when Pat Riley was there and I've watched Glory Road and all those movies, and there's definitely some good history there.
With Coach Cal, I followed him a little bit when he was at Memphis from being from Chicago, watched Derrick Rose when he made the transition to Kentucky. He's done great job with all the players that he's brought there and won with all of them.
So they're very talented team and we're looking forward to the challenge on Saturday.
Q. Guys, each of the four teams have great back courts, so for Ben and Scottie, talk about your opponents back court. Also we have heard for years about college basketball being a guards' game, I wonder if that still holds true.
BEN BRUST: Yeah, if you look at Kentucky, even though they do start three freshmen in the back court, they don't play like freshmen. They play mature and they're very talented. So it's going to be a tough test.
Guard play definitely is big in March. Now that we're into April, it's definitely something that's helped get us there and looking forward to seeing what kind of matchup it's going to be on Saturday.
SCOTTIE WILBEKIN: Yeah, for us, UCONN guards are really good, Shabazz and Boatright do a great job of creating shots for themself, whether it's getting in the lane and finishing or pulling up from the dribble. They also do a good job of getting in the lane and setting up their other teammates. So it's going to be a challenge to guard them.
Q. Ben, as a three‑point shooter, how do you get used to baskets, bigger venue, more space behind the basket and just shooting like what you do?
BEN BRUST: Well, I think we played at a lot of different arenas. Whether it be a smaller arena, whether it be a pro arena or a college arena or now a football stadium, we're going to do all the same things we always do. Coach Ryan always does a great job of that. We always get shots whenever we go different places, so we play the same way every place we go to and it's worked for us. We're going to continue doing that.
Q. For Ben, can you talk generally about what Bo has been like to play for in terms of, he can be a little bit biting sometimes. Wonder if that reflects on you guys, and also maybe something that's taught you about how to play the game that you didn't know before you arrived.
BEN BRUST: Coach Ryan's been awesome to play for in the fact that I've really grown as a player. I didn't play at all as a freshman, really, and I had a chance to learn what it's going to take to get out there on the floor and what he demands and what he expects from what you have as players.
Luckily I had other older guys like Jordan Taylor and Jon Leuer ahead of me and I was able to learn a lot of things from them and really just have grown as a basketball player. His intensity that Coach Ryan brings every day, he gets up and he comes to practice and he teaches us. He just wants to help the young men that he has learn the game of basketball and do it the right way. We're proud to be here representing the University of Wisconsin and ready to go after it.
Q. For Ben, they obviously play five freshmen, start five freshmen. When you were a freshman, you averaged three minutes, less than a point, less than a rebound, and less than an assist in a game. Were you capable of playing more and when you come in there, does Coach Ryan tell you as a freshman you're not going to play much?
BEN BRUST: There's always an opportunity. I knew there was an opportunity there. I just had some learning to do and some growing up to do. I definitely brought it every day in practice and I did what I could to make my teammates better.
But I think that experience really helped me grow as a person and as a player. Led me to where I am today. Even though they are five freshmen, they have obviously proven that they can get the job done. You don't get to the Final Four right now for no reason. So they're doing some good things.
Q. Julius, obviously you're playing in the Final Four at home. What does it mean to you and what have your emotions been like kind of leading up to this thing?
JULIUS RANDLE: Yes, it's definitely home. I'm just excited to be playing. It doesn't matter if it was in Dallas or wherever it was. Just to have the opportunity and blessing to play in the Final Four is all that really matters to me.
It's kind of been emotional for my family, all that the team's been through this year. They're just really proud of where we came from.
But at the end of the day we're just excited to get out there and compete and have another opportunity to play the game.
Q. For Julius, but if either any of you guys want to chime in, that's great. Julius, obviously all season you've played before huge crowds at Rupp, and here this weekend you guys might be playing before 75,000. I'm wondering, at any point this season have you ever paused to sort of do the math on how much money you and your teammates are bringing in for your school? If so, on balance, does the value of the scholarship that you have gotten this year, does that seem like a fair exchange or is there anything you would change about that if you could?
JULIUS RANDLE: No, I've never done the math on what we're bringing into the school or anything like that. All I know is that I'm a college athlete. I'm a college student. I have the opportunity to get an education as well as play for Kentucky, who has so much tradition, and that's really all that matters to me right now.
I don't really get into the politics and stuff like that about whether it's fair or not. I just know I'm blessed to be in the position I'm in and that's really all that matters to me.
NIELS GIFFEY: I think that I got to agree with what was just said. I think that there might be a different way to see the whole situation, but I think all of us up here are blessed that we got the opportunities that are presented to us.
Just the way it's compensated I think is great for us to get our education and just to take care of all the things that we go through every day. I think those problems that you're probably asking for, I think other people should take care of them.
Q. Scottie, throughout the Dayton game I saw you kind of gathering the team together, huddling them up, talking with them. How important do you think, as a point guard, is it to be a vocal leader and how have you developed that over time?
SCOTTIE WILBEKIN: I think it's important to have somebody on the floor that kind of relays what the coach wants and can say from a better perspective on the floor. I think it's important to keep us connected and together as a group, focused on what's happening right now in the current possession. I just tried to grow into more of a leader as I've grown older and just kind of have my mind more into the game.
Q. Ben, what aspects of your offense do you feel that you guys as a team maybe don't get enough credit for or what aspects of your offense are maybe a little bit underrated and why?
BEN BRUST: I don't really think anything is being underrated. I think we have gone out there and we have done some good things. It's nice to go through lay‑up lines and look around and see all the guys that I have an on my team. It could be their night or his night or his night.
So we definitely do a good job of being efficient offensively, and I love that we have a really unselfish group and we all care about each other, which makes it fun to go out there and play with.
Q. Niels, you're one of the few guys you, Shabazz, Tyler, that have actually been to a Final Four. Does the atmosphere and all that goes into it, does that sort of equalize things? Is everybody sort of as star struck, whether a senior, freshmen, sophomore, is it kind of hard to manage all that?
NIELS GIFFEY: It's kind of tough to manage these first days, just getting in here, taking care of the media. You have to stay focused on what you got to done the court. That's the most important thing, I think. You can't be too impressed with everything that's going on, the gym, the different crowd that's going to be out there and all the attention that's focused on you.
So just stay with your group as much as you can, stay with your teammates. That's really what I'm trying to tell my younger guys that haven't been here before, just try to have fun, enjoy this moment as much as you can.
Q. For Niels and Scottie, there's so much attention paid on making it to the NBA. How do you guys value just having a really great college career?
NIELS GIFFEY: I think it's interesting to see the different people, like Shabazz stayed for four years and he made that conscious decision to get his degree and wait for the next step for another year. I think it's just a great opportunity to grow as a person and a player on a different level where it's not all about business, where it's not about money. It's about family and getting together as a group.
I think I had my personal experiences with the national team over the summer, and I talked to the guys and they told me all the time of stories, so I was really happy with all of the decisions that I made to play for four years and not go overseas.
So it's just a great opportunity to build something at a university where you can always go back to. You will always have that family and that basis. I think that's why people should consider taking four years, getting their degree, and really making an impact on your university.
SCOTTIE WILBEKIN: For me, coming into college, I was just blessed to be able to have an opportunity to play at Florida. I didn't have a lot of hype coming in as a freshman, so I was really just having the most fun in the situation that I was at. That's what I've continued to do for all my four years. I never really looked to the future as much as I'm just having fun in the moment right now and just enjoying playing with my teammates and the college experience.
It's a lot of fun with the fans and everything and having teammates that you care about. Whatever happens in the future, whatever happens, will happen. But I'm enjoying right now.
Q. For Scottie, what makes Shabazz so different and difficult to guard compared to some other point guards that you've guarded this season?
SCOTTIE WILBEKIN: I think that's his ability to pull up from anywhere and the quickness that he pulls up and with the efficiency that he makes difficult shots. That's what makes him hard to guard. He also has the ability to get in the lane with his quickness and his first step. So just the different weapons that he has on offense is what makes it hard for him to be guarded.
Q. Ben and Julius, when you look at the matchup between your two programs, you got one program that's a high seed, but hasn't been here very often. Another one that's kind of had an improbable run, but was a lower seed. Who gets the right, the ownership to the underdog card, and do you use that? Is that something that you want to even embrace?
BEN BRUST: I just think it's going to be a great matchup. Doesn't matter what everyone has us at or what seed or if you get to here. At this point in the Final Four in March, obviously both of your teams are playing very well and you're there for a reason.
So no matter what anyone says about underdog or whatever, it's going to be a battle and I'm looking forward to it.
JULIUS RANDLE: I think that especially with both of these programs, there's just too much tradition and too many great players that have come through both of these programs that I really don't believe there's an underdog, especially when you get to this point in the season in the Final Four. You're playing for either one of these teams, I mean there's no such thing as an underdog. It's just going to be a hard‑fought game, and I think that's what both teams are looking forward to.
Q. Scottie, wanted to ask you about Napier. Can you relive the experience of that game. I know you got hurt, too, and you lost and you watched him hit a winning shot. How much does it means to you to get another crack at that defensive assignment?
SCOTTIE WILBEKIN: Well, I always like guarding guys that are challenging to guard. But as far as getting another crack at playing them, it's really not about that at all. I would be happy to play anybody in the Final Four, because I'm just happy to be here with an opportunity to advance.
So they're a great team, they have obviously played great up until this point, so it's going to be a tough game for both of us. Hopefully we'll come out with a lot of high energy and ready to play.
Q. Julius, how has your game evolved since you first showed up at Kentucky and what aspect has Coach Cal helped you with the most?
JULIUS RANDLE: My game's evolved tremendously. Just my mindset towards the game, how I approach games, and how I make adjustments throughout games. Coach Calipari has done a great job of developing many different parts of my game. But the biggest thing is just how I approach games, he's really helped me with that. How I make adjustments to how teams are playing me or how I can affect the game is really what he's helped me with. Because coming from high school, you just think that one thing, just scoring the ball and offensively. But coach has really helped me find ways to impact the game other than just scoring the ball.

Recently Prosody gained the ability to store passwords in a hashed form.
With the upcoming upgrade next weekend this feature will be enabled.
It's an important change as a possible attacker wouldn't be able to look at users passwords anymore even if he gained access to the server.
This is possible due to a new authentication mechanism called SCRAM. For the best possible security use a client that supports SCRAM (such support is already being added to most of the popular clients). In the meantime Prosody will allow clients to use the standard PLAIN mechanism, and perform the SCRAM calculations on the server side.
The code has been contributed by jefferai, thanks!
Update: Done 🙂
