BeamZ Privacy Policy
Effective September 30, 2020
Our services include a platform for third parties to present live, interactive online shows.
And if you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, you can contact us. email@example.com.
1. Information BeamZ collects
We want you to understand the types of information we collect as you use our services
We collect information to provide better services to all our users — from figuring out basic stuff like which language you speak, to more complex things like which BeamZ shows you might like. The information BeamZ collects, and how that information is used, depends on how you use our services.
When you're not signed in to a BeamZ Account, we store the information we collect with unique identifiers tied to the browser, application, or device you're using. This helps us do things like maintain your language preferences across browsing sessions.
When you're signed in, we also collect information that we store with your BeamZ Account, which we treat as personal information.
2. Things you create or provide to us
When you create a BeamZ Account, you provide us with personal information that includes your name and a password. You can also choose to add a phone number or payment information to your account. Even if you aren't signed in to a BeamZ Account, you might choose to provide us with information — like an email address to receive updates about our services.
We also collect the content you create, upload, or receive from others when using our services. This includes things like email you write and receive, photos and videos you save, docs and spreadsheets you create, and comments you make on BeamZ videos.
3. Information we collect as you use our services
Your apps, browsers & devices
We collect information about the apps, browsers, and devices you use to access BeamZ services, which helps us provide features like automatic product updates and dimming your screen if your battery runs low.
The information we collect includes unique identifiers, browser type and settings, device type and settings, operating system, mobile network information including carrier name and phone number, and application version number. We also collect information about the interaction of your apps, browsers, and devices with our services, including IP address, crash reports, system activity, and the date, time, and referrer URL of your request.
We collect this information when a BeamZ service on your device contacts our servers — for example, when you install an app from the Play Store or when a service checks for automatic updates.
4. Your activity
We collect information about your activity in our services, which we use to do things like recommend a BeamZ show you might like. The activity information we collect may include:
- Terms you search for
- Shows you watch
- Views and interactions with content and ads
- Voice and audio information when you use audio features
- Purchase activity
- People with whom you communicate or share content
You can visit your BeamZ Account to find and manage activity information that's saved in your account.
Your location information
We collect information about your location when you use our services, which helps us offer features like driving directions for your weekend getaway or showtimes for movies playing near you.

We use automated systems that analyze your content to provide you with things like customized search results, personalized ads, or other features tailored to how you use our services. And we analyze your content to help us detect abuse such as spam, malware, and illegal content. We also use algorithms to recognize patterns in data.

Mother's Day Gift Guide
Mother's Day gifts for all the wonderful women in your life!Posted on April 28, 2022 Written by: 100% PURE®
Somehow we blinked, and now Mother's Day is right around the corner. We love to honor our moms, mummies, mom-figures, and moms-to-be with epic Mother's Day gifts, but we sometimes struggle with gift inspiration.
We don't want to do the same old card or gift card and rose bouquet. We find it best to imagine not just what our moms want but how they want to feel: happy, taken care of, relaxed, and pampered are feelings that come to mind. That means self-care Mother's Day gifts are going to be perfect. Here's a shortlist of curated Mother's Day gift ideas for taking care of mom the way she takes care of us.
(5PK) Does It All Sheet Mask - Rose Water Face Mist - (5PK) Bright Eyes Eye Masks
Mom's most-loved trifecta comes to her in the form of this perfect Mother's Day gift set. Mama gets to enjoy masks and a mist designed to zing the skin aware with potent caffeine infusions and floral extracts. The skin will absolutely drink in key ingredients like calming and hydrating rose hydrosol, healing aloe, and green coffee for increased circulation and a more bright, awake look.
Vitamin C Serum - Vitamin C Mask - Mask Spoon
The key to youthful skin is vitamin C. Brightening and anti-aging, this mask and serum combo is one of the gift ideas that'll give mom a mini makeover, but in the best way. A juicy boost of collagen and a fast track to breaking up scarring and melasma, this trio is going to make any gift giver mom's (secret) favorite.
16 oz. Lavender Shower Gel - Lavender Sea Therapy Bath - French Lavender Nourishing Body Cream
Sweet dreams, mom. This mothers day gift has "relax" written all over it. Aromatherapy lovers and shower singers alike will love the calming impact of lavender on the skin. An evening soak with this Mother's Day gift will help mom have the sweetest dreams and even softer skin.

Fruit Pigmented® Ultra-Lengthening Black Tea Mascara - Blackest Creamy Long Last Liner
Giving Mother's Day gifts means mom can enjoy time to herself. What better gift than something for her to get dolled up? This mascara is infused with tea for rich pigmentation and lash conditioning. The result? The most fluttery lashes mom can dream of. Paired with our blackest creamy liner, mom's eyes will sparkle and smolder well past midnight.
Always & Forever 10, Always & Forever 20, Always & Forever 30
BB Cream* - Dark Cacao Creamy Long Last Liner - Fruit Pigmented Cranberry Glow Lip & Cheek Tint
BB Cream is available in shades 10, 20, or 30
Ask any makeup-loving lady: a gift set of beauty staples is always a great idea. Three options with three different beauty shades for all the ladies in our life, the lightweight BB cream adds a smooth complexion and glow. Create thicker-looking lashes or a staple smokey eye with the daytime-appropriate dark brown liner. A buildable tint for the lips and cheeks completes the set with the cherry on top.
Cocoa Coffee Body Scrub - Cocoa Butter Moisture Mask
Every mother's chocolate craving will be completely satisfied with this cocoa-y duo delight. A brightening and tightening scrub meet a deeply hydrating skin mask for an extra special shower or bath that our favorite mama won't forget.
Multi-Vitamin PM Eye Treatment - Retinol Restorative Neck Cream
Want to share the Mother's Day gift of eternal youth? This duo comes pretty close with an anti-aging neck cream designed to nourish and protect the delicate (often overlooked) skin of our decolletage. Paired with a rejuvenating treatment for the sensitive eye area, this gift is great for new moms and grandmas too.
Tea Tree Deep Detox Mask - Charcoal Konjac Sponge
Ideal to introduce a mom or sweetheart to new products, this adorable Mother's Day gift duo helps mom and her skin relax. Detoxing and aromatherapy via this tea tree mask, our scrubby konjac sponge pulls any debris off and away from the skin. That way, mom can enjoy the holiday like the queen she is.
Multi-Vitamin PM Serum - Retinol Overnight Balm - Green Tea Water Bomb Mask
We'll be honest - we made this one as much for Mother's Day gifts as we did for our personal pamper stash. This serum and retinol balm duo work on our biggest skin goals while we sleep. Skin then gets this water bomb mask hydrating treat to further wake up and smooth the skin. It provides deep and lasting hydration.
Matcha Oat Face Scrub - Retinol Overnight Balm
Hit tired skin where it hurts with this powerhouse duo designed to soften and rejuvenate skin. Any mummy will enjoy how the gentle matcha and oat facial scrub brightens and calms. She'll also love the supple and youthful-looking refresh, thanks to a quality slumber wearing our retinol balm.

Phil is a family friend, so we trusted him to find our first house. The experience was great! Five years later we were more than comfortable having him list that house and help us upgrade. I can't remember how many houses we looked at, but he never gave up. He didn't stop until we found the perfect place!
~ Krysta Gerstner
Phil went all out to find us the house we were looking for and helping us to sell our old house. He made the experience as easy as possible and I would recommend him to anyone who is thinking of selling or purchasing a house.
~ Nita Adkins Castillo
Phil is the best, when you choose Eisendrath Properties Unlimited you get quality service, professionalism and total commitment. After 21 years and 2 houses he still ranks number 1. Ready to sell now Go Phil Lets Do It!!!!!
~ Tina Carter
Phil is dog gone awesome !!
~ Susan Fouts
As a mortgage lender, I've known and worked with Phil for over 25 years. He goes above and beyond to help his clients go through the process answering their questions and staying on top of every detail. Most importantly, he genuinely cares about his clients and once you've had the pleasure of using his services, you'll want to refer your friends and family to him as well. I am highly recommending Phil for all your Real Estate needs.
~ Deb Seeber
Phil is a true professional. He definitely cares about the real needs of my family and I. Everything he does is thorough and taken care of, from start to finish. Phil started out as my realtor 16 years ago, and quickly became a friend.
~ Chuck Northrup
Above and beyond customer service and superb communication made the sale of my home an extremely positive experience. I look forward to working with Phil again in the near future!
~ Cheryl Sasaki
We used Phil in purchasing our house in Sept 2012. Phil was up front, handled the process efficently and professionally. Phil is by far the best agent we have dealt with and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

On most Wednesday mornings, I spend an hour with Hope learning to balance. I stand barefoot on my yoga mat, facing a mirror with a familiar set of faces as we bend and flow in tai chi, pilates, and yoga moves, and for just a moment forget about everything else that's going on in our lives. I love that my instructor's name is Hope. I love that this takes place smack in the middle of my week. The experience is literally and symbolically a balancing act.
Today is Saturday and, in a rare alignment of the planets, I have the whole day and house to myself. This is both a covetable blessing and an interesting dilemma. The list is long. What should I do with my day?
I could have slept in. Except I woke up at 4 a.m. and realized no one was here to care if I turned on the lights and started my day. My one. Whole. Day. To myself.
I could have gone out to eat. But then I realized I could snack on leftovers all day long. I love leftovers. I don't complain about leftovers. And I have no place I need to be, so I can eat the leftovers at any time, one bite at a time if I want to, right out of the container, while still wearing pajamas, or not.
The house needs cleaning and the lawn needs to be mowed, but I can't spend a me-day on those things because I finally dropped the magic wand. For a while, my family thought the laundry, groceries, cleaning, and so on all happened by magic. Actually, my husband thought we were really clean people and our bathroom never got dirty. HA. No, I think I need to not do as good a job with the magic wand so others can feel a sense of contribution. Yes, that's it. I want them to all feel like they are needed, too.
It's tempting to work. I love my job. And there's always something really interesting to do in my office. I've taken on a new role this month—which is a crazy, not-so-balanced decision because I don't have any more hats I can wear in a week. But despite the workload, I couldn't turn it down. It's too fun to leave behind. I'm so excited to be the publisher of a new online magazine called Books Make A Difference. I get to work with writers like Meagan Frank. It's wonderful to put my years of magazine management and book publishing together in this exciting project. There's so much to do before our first issue launch, so in between snacks today I'll be jotting down ideas.
When I first started writing this September blog, I was riding in the truck with my family on the way home from building a deer stand. The girls thought I should write about One Direction, the latest boy band sensation. Everything in the girls' world at the moment comes back to being a "directioner." They know every little detail about Zayn, Niall, Harry, Louis, and Liam: the boys' favorite colors, their girlfriends' workout routines, when the next song will be released. Malaina suggested since September is back-to-school month, I write about learning. She gave me a list of her favorite songs to listen to so I can learn how to write songs for One Direction.
I could catch up on my reading. On my nightstand: White Elephants: On Yard Sales, Relationships, & Finding What's Missing by Katie Haegele (a quirky find); 15 Seconds by Andrew Gross (I was intrigued by how Andrew came up with the idea for this story); and Boundaries with Teens: When to Say Yes, How to Say No by John Townsend (need I say more?). At least one of these will make it with me to the back deck this evening. Hope would call this breathing in.
I need to spend time on the back deck, enjoying our trees before they go. They are dying from Imprelis damage and I'm so sad to see them leave. All the little critters and birdies love our trees. Me too.
Before the deck, I'll be catching up with an old friend. Always a good choice for a me-day. Good friends inspire balance.
But mostly…. Since I'm just me today, no kids to taxi, no junior high math to figure out, no dinner to prepare, no coworkers expecting a response this weekend…
I think I'll write. Writers need to write. We need a place to capture all the learnings from all our other hats and lists and experiences. We need a way to make good stuff from the leftovers. Hope says breathing out is as important as breathing in.
And I have one whole day to myself. To breathe. To balance. To write!
Karen's life experience is intertwined with her roles as a wife, mom, stepmom, writer, publisher, photographer, traveler, and woman of faith. All these elements tend to make their way into her blog posts.
"Writers have to write. It's something deep inside us that pushes and pushes until we let it out. It's part of the air we breathe, this need to make sense of the world around us and to somehow find the right words to express and influence the way we each feel and interact and love and live."—Writing is Risky Business

There have been bank foreclosures on landlords' properties. Some tenants have been threatened with eviction. NJTO wants all tenants to know that is it illegal to evict you from your apartment due to foreclosure against the landlord. Contact NJTO
at 201-342-3775
if you are being threatened.
THE RECORD FRIDAY, JANUARY 2, 2009 Page A-17
How N.J. tenants got their rights
Regarding "State warns about illegal evictions" (Business, Page B-1, Dec. 24):
Ever wonder why New Jersey renters are protected against foreclosure evictions, while tenants in other states are not? Answer: the New Jersey Tenants Organization.
Formed 40 years ago, this group, funded only by membership dues and contributions, has fought for and won more rights for tenants here than tenants enjoy anywhere else in the nation.
In 1974, the NJTO won the passage of the Eviction for Just Cause Law, the most important tenant law in the country, which sets out the allowable just causes for eviction. Foreclosure doesn't happen to be one of them. If a bank or another mortgage holder takes title to the property, that entity is the new landlord, with the same responsibilities as the old landlord, and with no special rights.
In 2006, the NJTO won the passage of a law that made it a criminal act for a landlord, or anyone representing the landlord, to illegally lock out a tenant. The police are now supposed to protect tenants while they legally break back in to their homes. The police are also supposed to warn the landlord of the criminal violation and should arrest a landlord who does not let tenants back into their apartments.
Shutting off vital services like heat, electricity and water is the same as putting a lock on the door and could yield the same criminal violations.
Tenants who want to support the NJTO's work and also learn about their rights should join us. Just call 201-342-3775.
Matt Shapiro
Hackensack, Dec. 25
The writer is president of the New Jersey Tenants Organization.

Well this is my first post here at Homerefurbers. I'm a regular on Lumberjocks so some of my stuff is posted there. I'll write a blog about me to introduce myself but thought I'd throw this out there first since I really don't have to think to much. Anyhow, this is the kitchen I built for the house I'm living in now. It was my house but they are going to foreclose due to hard times. So the new owner will have a new kitchen, bath cabinet, mantle, mouldings throughout, and an updated girls room which I will post picks of soon. This kitchen is made out of Alder. Because I am a woodworker money is always an issue so I had to keep the existing appliances. Cabinetry has been my profession for a long time so I have to inform you that this is technically a "professional" job since technically a "professional" did the work. LOL. Anyhow, enjoy.

I am very sorry to hear you have to loose your house. I am sure you talked to your bank about options to make it work for both of you. Tough times.
The kitchen is very nice. I like what you did with alder. You made very nice use of slide-out storage.
posted 02-12-2009 11:12 PM
Thanks guys. I did talk to the lender for the house. The problem is that I went out of business and now I don't have an income. And if I get a job it won't be enough income to qualify me to keep the loan. Soooo…. foreclosure it is.

Beautiful cabinets, I love all those nifty slide outs. Sorry to hear about your hard times. I'm sure you'll pull through, someone with your kind of skill level should be able to find work in no time. Good luck friend.

You have some killer details in that kitchen. Did you build the shelving on the lazy susan? I've been using RevaShelf and have been wanting to get away from the plastic look. The roll outs all look custom. The extra wide stile and rails. The wide crown. The toe kick details. Pretty good work.
posted 02-13-2009 07:45 PM
Thanks guys! Dennis, the lazy susan is a Rev-a-Shelf product. It's their wood series. You will be surprised at the quality of these susans. There is a post on lumberjocks and although I won't say it there this product is constructed much better then the way they are describing how to make it. I made the right decision with these. The other convenience options are Rev-a-shelf too.

Better Buy: Plug Power vs. Bloom Energy
The concept of a fuel cell has been around for a long time, but the companies making the technology haven't exactly lived up to expectations. In fact, Plug Power (NASDAQ: PLUG), a public company since late 1999, has a history of making promises and failing to deliver. That said, Plug Power's stock has roughly doubled so far in 2019. Having IPOed in mid-2018, Bloom Energy (NYSE: BE) doesn't have as long of a public market track record yet, but it has to contend with the same history of missed expectations. Bloom is up just 10% or so this year. However, it is down 25% from its IPO price, and a whopping 65% or so from the highs reached shortly after it went public.
Stepping back from the price movements here, these are some factors to consider to help you figure out which of these two fuel cell makers, if either, is the better option for your portfolio.
1. Sizing the businesses up
Plug Power has a market cap of around $600 million. Bloom's market cap is $1.2 billion, despite it being public for only about a year (and the fact that its shares have fallen by 25% since its IPO). However, when you look at each company's revenue it makes sense that Bloom would have the larger market cap -- the company generated roughly $200 million in revenue in the first quarter, compared to Plug Power's roughly $20 million.
To be fair, the quarterly revenue numbers are for just three months, and Plug Power's revenue can jump around a bit, with the first quarter historically being a weak period of the year. But the comparison doesn't change materially when looking back over a longer period. Bloom's trailing 12-month revenue is roughly $775 million, while Plug Power's was only $172 million. Despite its short stint on the public markets, Bloom Energy has a more substantial business.
2. Any profits here?
That said, neither company has been able to turn that revenue into bottom line profit. Bloom Energy lost $0.76 a share in the first quarter, while Plug Power's red ink came in at $0.15 a share. Neither company is generating positive free cash flow either. Although the notion of fuel cells is exciting, Bloom Energy and Plug Power have yet to find a way to turn their technologies into a profitable business.
One notable factor here is the substantial investments in research and development that both companies are making. R&D spending ate up nearly 20% of Plug Power's revenue in 2018, with Bloom spending about 12% of its top line on such investments. Because the technology underpinning these businesses is relatively new, neither can really afford to stop such investments -- that spending is basically table stakes. That means that high costs are likely the norm for a while.
3. How they pay the bills
With red ink flowing and the material costs of playing in a high-tech space, both companies need to find a way to fund their businesses. At the moment, they're mostly filling that void by tapping the capital markets -- the debt-to-capital ratio is over 100% at both companies. That's a notable level of leverage.
While there's nothing inherently wrong with a company using leverage, the interest expenses related to significant debt simply create an even greater headwind to profitability. Essentially, buying Plug Power or Bloom Energy stock is a bet that the future will look brighter than the present, and that all of the spending to get there will pan out as planned.
4. The target markets
Both companies have impressive lists of customers, including companies like Amazon and WalMart. However, what they do differs materially. Plug Power has staked out a material position in transportation, providing fuel cells for everything from forklifts used inside warehouse facilities to delivery trucks and consumer vehicles. The technology has caught on more widely in some applications than others. Batteries, for example, are currently more popular than fuel cells when it comes to cars and trucks. So while Plug Power's addressable market appears to be huge, realistically it faces notable competition from other technology options.
Bloom Energy's focus is on providing reliable power to large facilities. Its fuel cells can complement intermittent power options (like solar and wind), provide backup power in emergency situations, and offset grid usage during peak load times to help reduce electricity costs. Although Bloom needs to convince customers of the value its product offers, it isn't really trying to revolutionize anything. It's more akin to displacing a dedicated backup generator. That's a material market, but one that's likely to face less competition from other emerging technologies.
Which of the long-term opportunities is more compelling will likely depend on the investor looking at these two stocks. However, what is clear is that both companies are working to create large installed customer bases. If a large enough customer base is created, then the ongoing fees these two fuel cell makers generate will, eventually, provide a foundation for future growth. That, however, will only happen after the businesses gain enough scale to become profitable.
5. A better business?
Stepping back from the big picture here, it's interesting to note that Plug Power's gross profit margin has generally peaked in the low- to mid-single digits. That's not a great result, especially when you compare it to Bloom Energy's gross profit margins, which are in the 10% range. It appears that putting in a smaller number of large fuel cells is working out better than trying to get a large number of small fuel cells into the transportation mix.
6. Valuation, for what it's worth
Without earnings investors can't rely on a price-to-earnings ratio, which is usually the first tool pulled from the valuation tool box. With negative free cash flow, price to cash flow isn't a useful metric. And with both companies reporting negative shareholder equity in the most recent quarter, price to book value isn't particularly meaningful either. That leaves price to sales as the core valuation tool here.
On that score, Bloom Energy's P/S ratio of 1.1 is much lower than Plug Power's nearly 3.4. To be fair, Plug Power's P/S ratio is much lower than it was five years ago, when it was in the mid to high teens. But that doesn't change the fact that investors are affording it a premium over Bloom Energy today.
A final call
Plug Power and Bloom Energy are two money-losing companies that are attempting to introduce new technologies to the world. All but the most aggressive investors would be best off avoiding both until they have proven that their businesses can be sustainably profitable.
However, for more aggressive types who believe fuel cells will play a big role in the future of power consumption, it appears that Bloom Energy has the edge here if you had to pick one name from this pair. It has a more substantial business backed by materially higher gross margins and is trading at a lower valuation. Just make sure to watch the balance sheet and the company's progress getting customers to adopt its fuel cell technology. Trouble on either of those fronts could quickly derail this risky investment.

The Senegalese army took local and international media on Monday, June 14th, to visit five strongholds the regular military took from Casamance rebels of Movement of Democratic Forces of Casamance (MFDC). Since May 31st, 2021, the Senegalese army has launched a significant military operation to take over rebel strongholds along the border with Guinea Bissau. This includes Ahinga, Badem, Bagam, Bounick, and Djileor, all located on the southwest edge of Casamance.
At the end of the soldiers' guided tour, the commanders who led the military attacks on the rear bases of the MFDC talked to the press. Lieutenant-Colonel Mathieu Diogoye Sene commanded the combined arms battle group Alpha to secure sectors 51 and 53 of military zone No. 5 in Casamance. He said the 3rd infantry battalion was the centerpiece of the attacks on the MFDC positions.
"The first phase was to launch our operation from Niassya, to control the Ediouma-Bassere road. This gave us access to the Koumere-Bassere-Kouring road that is now secured. It is a road formerly used by villagers on their way to sell their harvest to the Forest Spot of Toubacouta. That makes it a loop to Kaguitt," the military commander revealed.
According to Lieutenant-Colonel Mathieu Diogoye Sene, "the second phase of the military operation consisted of attacking MFDC rebels' positions from Bassere. The positions of Bassere, Djileor 1 and Djileor 2, Eliotte, Ayingua 1 and Ayingua 2 have been conquered. Today our first goal is to take over Bougnack," the Senegalese army commander said.
The senior commander told the media that the army seized many pieces of equipment from the rebels. "The detailed report about the items will be communicated to you (the press) later. What interests us the most are the rockets, the grenades, the landmines, and the homemade traps that we destroyed on the spot. We also destroyed farms of Indian hemp, and these conditions now enable the return of populations to their land. A landmine wounded one army officer. A comrade also sustained wounds from a gunshot," Lt. Col. Sene informed.
"We carried out this decisive phase of our mission which consisted in seizing the Bagame rebel base, 200 meters from the border with Guinea Bissau," Lieutenant-Colonel Clement Hubert Boukal
Lieutenant-Colonel Clement Hubert Boukal is the commander of the Bravo combined arms tactical group. It is the backbone of the commando battalion. He reveals that the soldiers have started an offensive for scouting towards Badem as they equally secure the roads for the army logistics supply. Commander Boukal emphasizes that "These were pathways used by civilians before the rebels turned them into landmine fields. So we unearthed and destroyed 25 landmines, including ten anti-tank and 15 anti-personnel landmines," Colonel Boukal said.
The Senegalese Commando leader continued, "We carried out this decisive phase of our mission which consisted in seizing the Bagame rebel base, 200 meters from the border with Guinea Bissau. The Bagame rebel camp is a large base made up of 15 bunkers, established in-depth and firmly defended by the rebels. After an intense battle, we forced them to surrender their stronghold and abandon many items, including anti-tank rockets and other weapons such as B10 anti-personnel landmines. The rebels also left two RPGs and five Ak47 assault rifles, and an enormous quantity of ammunition. They further abandoned some documents, a lot of logistics stuff and bicycles which they used as means to transport their products," the Senegalese commando leader said.

Since Game Of Thrones came to an end, Sophie Turner has been having the summer of her life. She married boyfriend Joe Jonas at a stunning Chateau wedding venue in the south of France, wearing a bespoke Louis Vuitton gown, then she headed to southern Italy and the Maldives for her honeymoon, before joining her new husband and his brothers for the Jonas Brothers US tour.
But now, it's back to work for the 23-year-old actress. After playing Sansa Stark on Game of Thrones since the age of 14, Turner has now landed her first TV role since the cult series aired its final episode earlier this year.
The British actress will play the lead role of Jane in a series called Survive, which will be available on upcoming new streaming platform Quibi. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the series is based on the novel of the same name by Alex Morel about two survivors of a plane crash. Turner will star opposite Corey Hawkins, who will play the other survivor Paul, who is most recognizable from playing a young Dr. Dre in Straight Outta Compton and in the 2018 Oscar-winning Spike Lee film BlacKkKlansman.
Survive follows Turner's Jane after her plane crashes on a remote snow-covered mountain (good thing Turner's used to those conditions thanks to calling Winterfell home for eight seasons). She must pull herself out of the wreckage and fight for her life alongside Paul (Hawkins), as the two remaining survivors. Together, the duo journey through the wilderness, battling brutal conditions and personal traumas.
'I couldn't be more honoured to portray the role of Jane… She's a complex character fighting against the odds not only to save her life but to also find her own source of strength and courage. 'I only hope this can impact anyone struggling with self-worth to understand they are braver than they know and to seek the support they need,' the mental health advocate said.
"After reading the script, it was clear that we'd need to find the right artist to take on the lead role in Survive and we couldn't be happier than to have Sophie starring who brings a high caliber of talent to the table," Van Toffler, CEO of Gunpowder & Sky, said in a statement. "I'm also thrilled to be making a movie with Mark Pellington who had the office next to me at MTV in the 80s and has grown to be an exceptional director.

Turner and Hawkins are the latest stars to join Quibi's growing roster of talent. This is Turner's first series project since Game of Thrones wrapped up earlier in 2019. The series is currently in production, so it's unknown when it will air, but for the moment Turner waits to see if she wins the Best Supporting Actress Emmy she's been nominated for, for her work in GOT, at the awards ceremony this weekend.

Hero Options
A "hero" is usually the first thing anyone sees when they arrive to a site's homepage. A hero is meant to be eye catching, attention grabbing and should intrigue visitors stay on the site. The internal page's hero layouts can either be the same one from the homepage, or similar but toned down a bit. The media you choose for the row background will determine what kind of hero layout will work best. You can also pair your hero with a row separator.
Hero Placement & Size
Hero Placement
Depending on the kind of hero image you are working with and the color of the logo, you can decide whether you want the header to overlay the hero row or to be placed before the hero row starts. For example, if the hero image is busy or if the logo has a white background or colors in it that wont stand out atop the hero image, the header should be placed before the hero row starts. However, if the hero image is subtle or if the logo image is a solid color that will stand out atop the hero image, then the header can overlay the hero row. Use discretion here to make your best judgment when deciding to overlay the header or to keep it placed before the hero area.
Hero Size
Choosing the right hero size depends on how big the images/videos provided by the customer are, and how much of these media files are required to be seen.
Hero Width
Hero on all header options can be Full Width or Content (Fixed) Width - but fixed width won't look good on headers that overlay the hero.
Full Width is the most common and the industry standard for modern sites. We would only choose content width if the customer specifically requested it, or if the images they want in the hero are too small to stretch across the screen.
Hero Height
Hero rows can range from full height to half height to no hero at all. A full height hero is most commonly seen on homepages at the very top. This is great for sites that want a very high quality image or full-size video to be seen upon arrival.
The most common hero type seen on homepages, however, takes up about 3/4 of the height of the screen. Most people prefer this so people can see the first paragraph or indication to scroll down to see the content below. Internal page heroes normally take up 1/2 of the screen height or less.
Some informational sites may request there not be a hero at all.
Hero Layout Options
Style 1 - Rule of Thirds
Visually divide the hero section into thirds. The focal point is generally in 1/3 to 1/2 of the image on its right or left. The text content will go on the side opposite the focal point.
Style 2 - The Stripe
Similar to the "Rule of Thirds" hero layout, but the text content might need more contrast or more of the image might need to show.
Style 3 - Split Screen
This layout is great for hero images with a center focal point. This means if you placed the text on top of the hero image, it would cover the important parts, so the content is placed beside the image instead.
Style 4 - Text Overlay
The text content in this hero layout is centered directly over the image. This is a good layout if the hero image is not too busy, has no real focal point or has lots of negative space along the top. If the text on top is still too hard to read, we'll add an opaque overlay for contrast.
Style 5 - Floating Image
This layout works best for cases where the hero image is too small to fill the screen, or if everything in the image is so important that it can't be cropped or hidden. The background of the row is usually a solid color, a gradient or a blurred image.
Style 6 - Blog Slider
Use this hero layout if you have a blog-centric site with posts that get regularly updated, and you would like for your latest posts to be the first thing people see on the site.
Style 7 - Product Slider
Use this hero layout if you have a premium shop with many products that get regularly added, and you would like for your latest or featured products to be the first thing people see on the site.
Alternative Layout Options
What if the Hero Image is Too Small?
In the case that the picture the customer wants isn't large enough for a full height or full width hero, but they requested a large hero, present them with some alternatives. If you're unable to get in touch with the PL, use your best judgement so that the first impression of the site leaves a positive impact on the customer. Make sure you notate why you did it differently, so its clear to the QA team and can be conveyed back to the customer.
What Other Options Do I Have?
How to Blur Your Hero
In the case that you choose to use the blur option, you can actually achieve this effect with purely CSS rather than needing to do it in Photoshop, and here's how:
- You'd set the row background as the desired image, then place a photo module within the row using the same image set to favor its dimensions/aspect
- Assign the main row a custom class that you'd assign to all rows that require the backgrounds to be blurred
Then, use the CSS snippet:
Technically this would work, however, Beaver Builder doesn't like to make the distinction between the background row and the items inside it on a regular row. this technique works well with content sliders or any module that clearly define div hierarchy and allow you to choose a background image and place text in a container on top.
For now, if you're trying to avoid photoshop and get an image background of a simple row blurred without affecting the contents, use a free online tool like Fotoram.io to get the job done.
Examples of a Smaller Width/Poor Resolution Hero
Have a small hero image or don't like the full width? Try a "blur" or "inset" option. This would look good for small/low-resolution hero banners that need to include an h1/description/cta, but may have text on the image already or get distorted when stretched across the screen.
Check out the images below for inspiration:

Use the following templates as a starting point if you need it, else use them as a reference and create your own masterpiece based on the content provided.

By Henry Little,
Volunteer founder and program leader for the Golden Gate Angling & Casting Club's Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing
Healing Those Who Served
For the past three summers, disabled veterans have enjoyed the solace of Cal Trout's "Shasta Springs Trout Camp," wading the waters of the upper Sacramento River, sharing home cooked meals, and telling fish tales around the campfire beneath a cathedral of tall pines.
These vets–and the Golden Gate Angling and Casting Club volunteers with them–are from the San Francisco chapter of Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing (PHWFF), a national non-profit organization dedicated to the physical and emotional rehabilitation of disabled veterans and active military service personnel through fly fishing education and outings.
The San Francisco Program of Project Heading Waters Fly Fishing (PHWFF-SF) was started in 2016 by longtime angler Henry Little, himself a U.S. Army veteran and Purple Heart recipient who knows firsthand the restorative qualities of stalking wily trout amidst some of nature's most beautiful landscapes.
Of course, PHWFF-SF really isn't so much about fishing as it is about healing, helping vets know they aren't alone and that others care for them, and even may have shared similar challenges.
It's about caring and camaraderie developed over shared experiences.
It's about helping those who have served our county.

Learning the Tools of the Trade
Every other Wednesday at the Angler's Lodge and casting pools in Golden Gate Park, PHWFF-SF hosts classes during which volunteers instruct the vets in fly casting, fly tying, fly fishing equipment and tactics, knot tying, and stream entomology.

PHWFF-SF also takes vet participants on a dozen one-day to four-day outings, including surf fishing for stripers at San Francisco's Crissy Field, float fishing the lower Sacramento out of Redding (for trout) and out of Chico (for shad), and wading the upper Sacramento and McCloud rivers for trout.
More than 20 disabled veterans, with the support of 20 volunteers, actively engage in these activities together.
PHWFF-SF is one of PHWFF's 11 programs in California (and 230 nationwide), with other programs located in San Diego, Redding, Chico, Martinez, Long Beach, Santa Barbara, Fresno, Ventura, Sepulveda, and Victorville.
Disabled veterans are referred to each program by local VA facilities. For PHWFF-SF, vets are referred by the San Francisco VA Medical Center.
All PHWFF activities are 100% free for the disabled veteran participants, as the volunteers raise funds to buy fishing equipment and to pay for outings.
Many members of Cal Trout and the Golden Gate Angling & Casting Club have been generous PHWFF-SF supporters, donating both funds and fishing gear.
For this, the disabled veterans and volunteers associated with PHWFF-SF are deeply appreciative.

In Their Own Words
PHWFF-SF vet participant Tom Glynn, who as an Army medic cared for wounded soldiers aboard medevac flights from Vietnam to the USA, fished at Trout Camp in 2017 and recently commented about his experiences with PHWFF-SF:
"The practice of fly fishing is very suitable for the healing process for veterans. It engages the mind, places you in an environment that is connected to nature, is both exciting and also completive, encourages social interaction and allows solitude—a very salubrious practice. I learned a few things from Project Healing Waters: fishing is about a lot more than catching fish; that there is a special, unique camaraderie between veterans and other veterans and military people; and this can be very, very useful in the healing process, healing from the internal wounds of war; and most important, that you are not alone and that people really do care."

Authorities in Florida say a man was arrested on suspicion of engaging in a sexual relationship with a minor, whom he is believed to have impregnated.
According to WFLA, Carlos Perez Corona of Clearwater remained in jail as of the latest reports available after officers took him into custody on Sunday.
Police reports indicate a resident at the alleged 13-year-old victim's home discovered Corona inside the house on the same day after he entered in an apparent attempt to have sex with the girl.
Investigators believe he sneaked onto the property on Saturday and Sunday to have sex with her.

He was reportedly found hiding in a closet when someone spotted him and notified authorities. Investigators subsequently confirmed that the girl had repeatedly tested positive for pregnancy, as reported by WTSP.
The alleged sex crimes spanned several months, as deputies alleged in their report. They believe Corona knew the girl and her father through mutual family connections before initiating the sexual relationship.
He is expected to face criminal charges including two counts of lewd and lascivious battery. In addition to those related counts, Corona is also reportedly being held in connection with a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement request.

[Current copyright laws] are
inadequate because they ... relied
on the premise that works have to
manifest themselves physically in
order to be communicated. This
premise is becoming less frequently
true, and mistakes made in domestic
laws are spread throughout the
world by virtue of international
intellectual property treaties as
well as by perpetuating the
paradigm of fixed copies. Future
intellectual property law must
recognize the increasingly flawed
nature of that premise. This
area of law must find a way to
work with the changing state of
intellectual property ...
These indie grassroots online
music labels are everywhere, and
are datapoints for a
transformation in the music world.
In the words of my brother-in-law,
"almost no one is making money in
electronic music anymore, except
for going and playing places."
There was an excess of music
production, beyond the ability of
traditional labels to distribute
it to listeners, so these new
labels sprang up to fill the need.
They succeed because they make
everyone happy. Listeners get
music for free, of course.
Artists get to have their music
distributed in high-quality
versions with good metadata,
album covers, etc. rather than
crappy low-fi rips with no
guarantee their name is on it.
But most of all, artists and the
labels build brands. The music
sells the artist's live shows
(if they have any), and the
quality of the music found and
distributed by the netlabel
builds the reputation of the
person behind the netlabel.
Making intermediate electronic
copies in order to create derived
works that are themselves fair
use is one of those technological
changes that requires us to
rethink the narrow interpretation
of copyright law that old-line
companies would have us hold onto.
In short, I believe that the AAP's
position is intellectually dishonest.
They are pretending that opt-in is
a real solution to the orphaned works
problem, when by the numbers, it
clearly is not.

Samael and the Serpent
Talmud: b. Shab. 146a
When the serpent mounted eve, he injected filth into her. Israel who stood at Mount Sinai, their filth ceased; the other nations who did not stand at Mount Sinai, their filth has not ceased.... (
Kabbala: Zohar 1:37a
R. Hiyya said: "The sons of God were the sons of Cain. For when Samael mounted Eve, he injected filth into her, and she conceived and bare Cain. And his aspect was unlike that of the other humans and all those who came from his side were called sons of God." (
Midrash: Pirqe R. Eliezer. Ch. 13
Samael was the greatest prince in heaven. The celestial animals and the Seraphim had six wings each, but Samael had twelve. He took his cohorts and went down, and saw all the creatures whom the Holy One, blessed be He, had created, and found among them none as astute and malicious as the serpent. And the serpent's appearance was like that of a camel. And Samael mounted him and rode him. And the Tora cried and shrieked and said: "Samael, the world has just been created, is this the time to rebel against God?"   The serpent went and said to the woman: "Is it true that you are commanded not to eat the fruit of this tree?....

Berlin - Behavioral preventive approaches are not enough to do something against obesity in children and adolescents under today's obese living conditions. Successful obesity prevention primarily requires measures to prevent the situation, which must be initiated by society and politics. This is shown by the scientific studies on which the guideline "Therapy and Prevention of Obesity in Children and Adolescents" presented today is based.
The evidence-based S3 guideline was developed by 40 experts from 16 medical-scientific societies, professional associations and other organizations. Leading the way were the Working Group on Obesity in Child and Adolescent Ages (AGA) of the German Obesity Society (DAG) and the German Society for Child and Adolescent Medicine (DGKJ).
The guidance and training of affected children and their families with the aim of changing their personal lifestyle in multimodal obesity therapy can also be promising under certain circumstances. This applies in particular to the education of children of primary school age and especially their families. Nevertheless, the almost 80-page guideline states that the "therapeutic effects achieved are rather low" and "often do not meet the expectations of those affected".
According to experts, children and young people are most likely to benefit from outpatient services. "That is why the recommendation 'outpatient before inpatient' clearly applies to obesity therapy," said Susanna Wiegand, former spokeswoman for the AGA and since October Vice President of the German Obesity Society. However, there are too few places for these concepts, according to which the child is cared for in the midst of family, school and friends.

AUSTIN, Texas — The May 1 election in Austin is right around the corner. Early voting for the election runs from Monday, April 19, through Tuesday, April 27.
One of the major items on the May ballot is Proposition B. It aims to reinstate the City of Austin's homeless camping ban, which was reversed in July 2019. Both support for and opposition to the proposition has been strong in the months leading up to the election.
Let's take a closer look at Proposition B.
What is Proposition B?
In short, Proposition B aims to reinstate the City's camping ban. The ban would make it illegal to camp in certain places, to sit or lie on public sidewalks or outdoors in certain areas and to panhandle at night.
Proposition B's journey to the Austin May ballot
In February 2020, the PAC Save Austin Now started a petition to put an item on the November 2020 ballot to reinstate the City's camping ban. In August, the City clerk ruled that the group's petition did not succeed due to an insufficient number of signatures.
Save Austin Now continued its efforts to get the item on a ballot, starting a second petition. A day after the group reportedly secured enough signatures to potentially put the item on the May ballot, Gov. Greg Abbott announced that if Austin doesn't elect to reinstate its camping ban, the State will step in.
On Feb. 4, 2021, Save Austin Now announced the City Clerk's Office had certified its petition. Members of the group said they submitted more than 27,000 signatures and the clerk's office said more than 26,000 of them were valid. The next step was for the Austin City Council to approve ballot language, which happened a few days later.
In February, the Austin City Council also voted to pass its amended HEAL initiative, which would partially reinstate the camping ban going forward. The initiative's aim is to remove those experiencing homelessness from four high-traffic areas in Austin and connect them with housing and shelters. The first phase of the initiative is expected to be completed by late this summer.
Proposition B has not been without opposition in its journey to the ballot.
In March, area Democrats launched a campaign against Proposition B. Those involved said they believe passing the proposition would be a step in the wrong direction for people experiencing homelessness in Austin.
Also in March, following a series of fires at Austin-area homeless camps, several local leaders spoke out against Proposition B, including Mayor Pro-Tem Natasha Harper-Madison, City Councilmember Greg Casar and Chas Moore with the Austin Justice Coalition.
Austin Mayor Steve Adler has said he expects a close vote on the proposition.
On the final day of early voting, KVUE spoke to people on both sides of the issue about what they think the proposition ultimately stands for.
"None of it has to do with partisan – like, it's a humanitarian issue and it's negligence on the, on the part of the city for not providing safe places for them to go, letting them live the way they are. It's inhumane. And no one can say that this has been a success," said Cleo Petricek, co-founder of Save Austin Now.
"What we see around the country is that when we criminalize it and we push homelessness out of sight, it often dries up the efforts to actually try to address it because people don't understand how big of an issue it really is," said Chris Harris with Homes Not Handcuffs.
Austin Proposition B ballot language
In February, the Austin City Council agreed on ballot language for Proposition B. In early March, the Texas Supreme Court ruled the City had to change one word of that language for the ballot item.
According to a sample ballot on the Travis County clerk's website, the final ballot language for Proposition B is:
Shall an ordinance be adopted that would create a criminal offense and a penalty for sitting or lying down on a public sidewalk or sleeping outdoors in and near the Downtown area and the area around the University of Texas campus; create a criminal offense and penalty for solicitation, defined as requesting money or another thing of value, at specific hours and locations or for solicitation in a public area that is deemed aggressive in manner; create a criminal offense and penalty for camping in any public area not designated by the Parks and Recreation Department?
Voters have the option to vote "for" or "against" the proposition. A vote for the proposition is a vote in favor of reinstating the camping ban.

A good skin care regimen always starts with a good cleanser. The newest ones leave skin feeling squeaky clean and come in a variety of formulas—gels, oils, milks, and powders—for all skin types. Make sure when picking the right cleanser that it should never be too harsh and strip away the skin's healthy oils.
These 6 complexion cleansers will keep pores clear, and brighten and hydrate parched skin.
Revision Skincare Papaya Enzyme Cleanser ($28) – Exfoliate gently with this refreshing cleanser containing papaya fruit extract and salicylic acid to speed up cell turnover and antioxidants to soothe skin.
Algenist Genius Ultimate Anti-Aging Melting Cleanser ($38) – A good option for normal to dry skin, this starts off as a gel and then morphs into a milk when mixed with water, containing alguronic acid and microalgae oil to keep skin smooth and hydrated.
Murad Transforming Powder Dual-Action Cleanser and Exfoliator ($30) – A new addition to the brands acne line, this deep-cleaning wash starts off as a powder, and when activated with water turns into a foam with gentle exfoliation beads to help unclog pores. Pumpkin seed extract and salicylic acid keep pores clear and prevent future breakouts.
ZO Skin Health Offects Hydrating Cleanser ($35) – This rich and lovely cleanser removes impurities and excess oil while panthenol and allantoin soothe and moisturize skin.
Ole Henriksen pure truth melting cleanser ($34) – Another hybrid cleanser that starts off as a citrusy orange gel and when mixed with water turns into a light milk, removing makeup without stripping the skin. Vitamin C, rose hip, and virgin cherry oils brighten and nourish the skin.
Tata Harper Purifying Cleanser ($58) – A soap-free all-natural cleanser for combination to oily skin, containing sugars, broccoli extract, and fruit enzymes to unclog pores, while a blend of essential oils keep skin balanced and feeling refreshed.

When I went to New York's Maritime Hotel to learn about Ole Henriksen's new Pure Truth Melting Cleanser, I wasn't sure what to expect, having tested hundreds of cleansers in my lifetime.
This new 3 in 1 bright orange cleansing gelée is quite revolutionary, explained one charming lady whose skin looked so flawless that it could have been airbrushed. The Pure Truth Melting Cleanser is a re-imagined take on the classic cold cream, which may have fallen out of popularity in the US but women in Europe and the Far East have been using for more than a dozen decades (myself included).
The Melting Cleanser, or gelée, contains a unique blend of ingredients formulated to brighten and boost collagen synthesis, including vitamin C, virgin cherry oil, and Ole Henriksen's favorite, rose hip seed oil (nature's bountiful source of omegas 3, 6, and 9). The melting cleanser is transformative in a David Blaine kind of way, morphing from gelée to oil when applied on skin, then when activated with water, it spins into a creamy milk-like texture to become a complete magician.
The gelée itself is clean and fresh, like bright orange jelly or marmalade, and is paraben and synthetic free. It has a hint of fragrance, but I learned at the event that Henriksen, because of his European heritage (he's a great Dane), "loves fragrance" but lets it be as natural as possible.
For $36, this is a beautiful, refreshing product, and one that deserves attention. It launches in stores and online on August 21.
Fresh from her headline-grabbing double date with Katy Perry and John Mayer at the Grammys, actress Allison Williams, one of the break-out stars on HBO's hit show Girls and daughter of NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams, is sharing her anti-break out skincare secrets as the new face of Simple®, a range of facial skincare products that won't irritate sensitive skin.
As part of the new campaign, the 24-year-old, who plays gorgeous but down-on-her-luck Marnie Michaels on Girls says she relies on Simple® products to counter the many factors that irritate her sensitive skin. These include makeup, weather, and pollution. Simple® products don't contain dyes, a
There are so many acne products on the market that it's hard to know which products work and which products are just a waste of money. From cleansers, moisturizers, toners, spot treatments, and masks…how do we know what to try and what to toss? Well, I've finally found a product that not only works to clear my breakouts fast, but improves my skin's texture, too.
Beyond Clear is a new 3-step acne system that uses a patent-pending Clarifoam Technologyâ"¢ to deliver powerful, bacteria-killing ingredients without the irritation, redness, or flaking that I've experienced from other acne products. Even better, Beyond Clear's products have retinol and glycerin to even out my skin tone
