Taiwan's HTC to get Google boost as it posts biggest loss
Taiwan's struggling smartphone maker HTC posted its worst-ever quarterly loss on Monday (Mar 26), but said it expects a boost from the US$1.1 billion deal with Google sealed earlier this year. HTC is hoping for a boost from Google AFP/Josep LAGO The deal, completed in January, saw Google buy part of HTC's smartphone business as the US giant looks to take greater control of its hardware business. HTC has suffered consecutive losses due to stiff competition in the smartphone sector from Apple, Samsung and strong Chinese brands. Analysts are also sceptical about the earnings potential of HTC's investments in emerging areas such as virtual reality. Its woes were reflected in the results for the October-December period, which typically would get a lift from the holiday season. But instead the firm booked a net loss of Tw$9.8 billion (US$336.8 million) in the fourth quarter, the biggest on record. Revenue dropped 29 per cent to Tw$15.7 billion. The firm attributed the quarterly … [Read more...] about Taiwan's HTC to get Google boost as it posts biggest loss

As a cover, he says he had an illness which caused him to be deaf and mute that he just now has miraculously recovered from. Sexy ass bitches naked. Joel Edgerton directs the coming out — and coming-of-age — drama: Something like Julianna Guill in Friday the 13th would be great.
A commenter posted this a while back while The Layover was still filming: I totally agree, but I also remember Passenger. I feel like body doubles have become more rare lately and i doubt that a low budget movie like honored will spend money on nude special effects.
Doesn't open for me either. Upcoming celebrity nude scenes. Upon hearing this, the abbess realizes that as long as they all agree to cooperate and not say anything they can keep their polyamourous lifestyle going on indefinitely. It seems from the descriptions and reviews of the book that her explicit sex scene would be a flashback from her past.
Her breasts are scene quite a bit being kissed and while she receives oral sex. This is amazing news, Recapped! Tedb says that we got full frontal when we saw labia. Thank you, good sir! There he tells a young friend Dave Franco of his about his miserable experience on the convent saying that the repressed virgin lives the nuns are forced to live turns them into total bitches, especially to men, and therefore he will never return.
Not even in the 20 minutes of "Britannia Specials" on SkyGo? Even in the trailer you can hear her slip in and out of that russian accent on a few different occasions They gonna find a way, dont worry. Www naked women photos com. No one knows for sure. The actress originally planned on talking director Marc Forster out of the required nudity.
One day, after finding him napping under a tree after a long days work, one of the nuns comments how she would like nothing more to get down and dirty with the new garden boy and since he's a dumb deaf mute there would be no way for him to tell anyone either. First, a correction to our preview regarding Under the Silver Lake which should finally be released in The one during the last dance sequence is likely prosthetics however.
E-mail is already registered on the site. The only female nudity in In a Relationship is a brief topless scene with Dree Hemingway as she is about to go skinny dipping about 48 minutes in. It follows the tail end of their senior year dealing with the trials and tribulations that are thrown at them. Hulu has had nudity. Wu plays Rachel, an economics professor who goes to Singapore with her long-term boyfriend Henry Golding for a wedding, only to discover his family and their social circle are, as the title suggests, insanely wealthy — and none too approving of her.

Levy Tran is topless in a sex scene. They gonna find a way, dont worry. There have been a handful of all-Asian casts in American studio movies before, but none this contemporary. Michelle Dockery should be joining her former Downton Abbey cast mate and have a couple of nude scenes in the upcoming Netflix limited series Godless. I'm not quite ready to say that's the sweater, mainly because this scene doesn't look like it coincides with a dressing room scene that's supposed to be where we see them.
Rumor is Charlotte Hopebest known as Myranda from Game of Throneshas been cast as the lead in The Spanish Princess so it likely will have nudity.
Page 1 Page 2 … Page 65 Next page. And Alexandra Daddario did not give us that in True Detective. Millie Brady apparently has a brief topless scene in Intrigo: I was just gonna say the same thing. Upcoming celebrity nude scenes. Brown and round tits. The MCU builds to a climax! Can anyone confirm Lauren Lapkus? Enter quippy teenage orphan Wade Watts Tye Sheridanwho ventures into this digital dreamland of comic book characters, old movies, and cheesy pop tunes in an attempt to own inner space.
Also, can anyone find a production still or pic of Alex in the said sweater? The excuse is that advertisers won't advertise on a show with nudity but there are plenty of advertisers who are willing. Anna Kendrick has a thriller coming out A Simple Favor based on a book in which her character has an explicit sex scene. Sorry, you must be logged in to post a comment. Dianna Agron is also supposed to have a masturbation scene.
Erect dicks aren't allowed in R-rated movies. It airs in only three weeks.! But Lively read the script and was immediately sold, despite her previous beliefs about on screen nudity. Any rumors on the female brain with Sofia Vergara and Whitney Cummings? While I would absolutely want nudity from AK an explicit sex scene is a step in a good direction There seems to be a reasonable chance of nudity, given certain scenes from the trailer.
Also of note is there are lesbian scenes in a number of episodes without nudity. Apocalypsehas largely been chalked up as a miss.

Iannucci, in Trafalgar Square, London. Veep, a satirical sitcom about American politics, stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus and is written wholly by British men. Photograph by Peter Dench.
rmando Iannucci, the British comedy writer and director, is short and slight, and, at forty-eight, he is going bald in the old-fashioned, uncropped way, with tufts of hair here and there. He has a soft Scottish accent and a demure, bookish manner. A scholar of John Milton, he is a former classical-music columnist for Gramophone. In recent years, he has become best known in Britain for creating characters who, when they hear a knock at the door, are likely to say, Come the fuck in or fuck the fuck off, instead of Hello. Early one morning last fall, Iannucci was on location in Washington, D.C., directing a scene for Veep, an HBO comedy about American politics written wholly by British men, including one whom Iannucci has described as his swearing consultant. A motorcade of five limousines and two motorcycle outriders was parked by the side entrance of a neoclassical building not far from the White House, and beside it stood Julia Louis-Dreyfus, the former Seinfeld star. She was wearing a wig that looked much like her real haira
strategy that eliminates delays for styling. Louis-Dreyfus plays Vice-President Selina Meyer, who is neither corrupt nor politically extreme but harried, maddened by her jobs taunting combination of power and powerlessness, and forever at risk of public embarrassment. Meyers dominant moodpanic blunted by exhaustion, as she attempts, cursing, to outrun a political shit stormwill be familiar to viewers of The Thick of It, Iannuccis fine BBC sitcom about British ministerial life, or In the Loop, a companion film that used some of the same actors to tell a darker story of Anglo-American ineptness and bad faith in the prelude to an Iraq-style war. Veep is the second attempt to bring Iannuccis political satire to American television. The first, an ABC pilot made in 2007, transposed the action to the office of a goofily innocent U.S. congressman; Iannucci, who was not in charge of that production, says that the experience left him feeling slightly soiled. At HBO, Iannucci made sure that he was the showrunner, and one result is that even late drafts of Veep scripts were dotted with Britishismscharacters ring each other on the phone and threaten to strip down to their pants. It gave me pause in the beginning, Louis-Dreyfus said later. I thought, Come on, you guys. Where are the American comedy writers? She got into the habit, during readings and rehearsals, of making a teasing, crooked face to alert Iannucci to such errors. That morning, Louis-Dreyfus was about to shoot a scene in which she refers to a senator as a real hogfucker, in a conversation with her chief of staff, her head of communications, and a devoted personal aidea group that, in a later episode, she refers to as her Keystone Cunts. Although Veep doesnt have the swearing intensity of Iannuccis British work, the shows scripts still use fuck, and its variants, nearly two hundred and fifty times in the first eight episodes. Iannucci himself does not curse that way, and, as he waited for cars and people to find their places, amid cries of Secret Service, stand by!, he seemed calm almost to the point of diffidence. A production designer showed him photographs of places that could later stand in for the West Wings west entrance, where a white awning stretches over the sidewalk, in an oddly restaurant-like way. For reference, she showed Iannucci a photograph of himself, taken some months earlier, standing in front of that awning in the looming company of Reggie Love, who was then President Barack Obamas special assistant, or body man. Iannucci, who lives with his wife, Rachael, and three children in a small town in Hertfordshire, an hour northwest of central London, is well informed about American politics and history, but for In the Loop, and then for Veep, he made several research trips to Washington, during which he was introduced to lobbyists, Senate staffers, and a former VicePresidential chief of staff, among others. He learned that the State Department doesnt swear that much, but at the Pentagon they swear like dockers. Horrible swearingreally foul, unpleasant swearing. Iannucci had toured the White House with Reggie Love. As Iannucci happily recalled, He referenced The West Wing the show. This is the Roosevelt Roomthis would be where Josh and C.J. would . . . Im thinking, Why couldnt you say this is where President Obama sat with Hillary Clinton? The motorcade rolled into a covered driveway, and there was a quick exchange between Meyer and her staff, along with a moment involving hand sanitizer, in which the devoted assistant (played by Tony Hale, from Arrested Development) over-squirted the Vice-Presidents hands, and then allowed her to wipe the excess onto him, in a palm-upon-palm motion that became awkward. After a couple of takes, Iannucci asked them to do a longer, yet more awkward variant. There were a few other shots, then Iannucci said, Thank you, excellent, and the production, ahead of schedule, prepared to move to the nearby Teamsters headquarters, where the cream-carpeted office of James Hoffa, the son of the iconic labor leader, would stand in for that of
the Vice-Presidents boyfriend, a lawyer, for a scene in which he has a sexually charged phone call with Meyer. Im not going to spend the next hour making sure the motorcade arrives smoothly, Iannucci said. Youre only going to see it for a second. Tony Roche, one of the British writers, who was watching with Iannucci, said, You have to sell the world, but its sort of irrelevant, really. Iannucci, who often holds his hands behind his back, like Groucho Marx, noted that a television drama might have lingered over the establishing shots: motorcycles, limos, limestone. My God! he said. Thats a minute of your show, and you havent had to worry about a single line! But if you put that in the middle of a comedy people will think, Well, this isnt funny. Its the weird thing about comedy, Roche said. Its sort of like boxing. Youre constantly throwing punches, and you might have one really big punch that everyone remembersthe really funny momentbut youre trying to soften them up the whole time: joke, joke, joke, joke. Whereas dramas two people in a boxing ring just looking at each other, Iannucci said.
n 1980, the BBC broadcast the first season of Yes Minister, a satirical sitcom, now considered a classic, about a fey, inexperienced government minister and an unctuous career civil servant who answers to him and controls him. The scenario owed something to P. G. Wodehouse, but, as Iannucci recently recalled, Yes Minister also seemed oddly realistic: When it came on, even though it was a traditionally shot sitcom in front of a studio audience, it felt like a documentary to a lot of people, he said. It was the very first time they had the slightest inkling of what went on at Whitehall. It was a revelation. Margaret Thatcher had just been elected Prime Minister, and Iannucci was in his midteens, attending a private Jesuit school in Glasgow. He was seriously thinking that he might enter the priesthood. The son of British-Italian parents, he had a taste for The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Sibelius, and raw transcriptions of Parliamentary debates. Iannucci studied English at Oxford, then stayed on as a graduate student. For three years, he worked on a Ph.D. thesis about Milton, until he saw that it had become a treatise on all of language and all of theology, and gave it up. He joined the staff of the BBC, where, in 1991, he devised and co-wrote On the Hour, an absurdist radio news program in which absolute stupid bollocks was talked about very straightno raised eyebrows. The cast included Steve Coogan in the role of Alan Partridge, a sports reporter defined by a wounded, hectoring navet. On the Hour moved successfully to television, as The Day Today, and the Partridge character then went on to appear in several hit series produced and co-written by Iannucci. In a typical scenario, Partridge, his London broadcasting career having faltered, is hosting a graveyard-shift radio show in Norwich. He makes an ill-judged on-air joke about farming, then has to apologize to a farmer, whom he interrupts with insults and mooing; later, while he is shooting a corporate video on a riverboat, angry farmers heave a dead cow onto him from a bridge above. Partridge never understands that he has given real offense. Iannucci told me that the character combines aspiration and dejection: Partridge buries his insecurities by exaggerating his confidence in himself. People never see themselves in Partridge, he noted, but always see someone they know. Tony Blair asked to be interviewed by Coogan, as Partridge, not long before he became Prime Minister, in 1997. Iannucci also performed in his own shows of sketches and topical satire, usually built around surreal
monologues. These were less successful. He writes with acid brilliance about delusional and disappointed men with a foot still in adolescence, but when he foregrounds his own sensibilityself-contained, intellectually confident, alert to incongruitiesthe result can be dry, with a whiff of performance art. In 2004, Iannucci began to imagine a modernized Yes Minister that reflected what he saw as the changed dynamics of British public life. Contemporary politicians were giving up their power not to silky senior bureaucrats but to advisers and spin doctorsa category most colorfully represented by Alastair Campbell, the former tabloid newspaper editor who became Blairs spokesman in the mid-nineties, and then his head of communications after Blair reached Downing Street. Iannucci had welcomed Blairs rise to Prime Minister, but still found much to mock; for a while, he wrote a column, for the Daily Telegraph, in the form of Campbell memos. After the invasion of Iraq, in 2003, Campbell was widely criticized for the way he had marshalled evidence supporting the governments case. Iannucci strongly opposed the war. With a BBC budget allowing for three cheap half-hour episodes, Iannucci wrote a political comedy: a halfcompetent minister, two policy advisers, a press secretary, and, at one remove, a menacing, pure alpha enforcer from the Prime Ministers office. The Thick of It s bleak appraisal of modern politics was not unfamiliar, except, perhaps, in the completeness of its vision: Entourage, with five Aris. Nobody was led by principle, or had time to think. Politics was media relations; the only policy was damage control. And everyone cursed, and was invested in cursing, as if it were the only surviving pastime in their overburdened lives. Iannucci worked with a team of co-writers, and when a script was largely done (and already quite heavy with expletives) he e-mailed it to Ian Martin, a writer in his fifties, living in Lancashire, whose Web site had attracted Iannucci for its foulmouthed parodies of Hansard, the official record of Parliamentary business. Arm felt I had a talent for a certain kind of stupid, overblown, bombastic, baroque swearing, Martin said recently, in a phone conversation that was interrupted by the visit of a grandchild. Martin has since joined Iannuccis writing team, but at the time he was contributing only the occasional line. When, in The Thick of It, someone says, I heard there were sandwiches and Im a fucker for cress, that may not be Martin; but when there are threats of violent bodily insertions, or when a script is changed from clean up this mess to mop up a fucking hurricane of piss, that is Martin. Such material tended to be written for Malcolm Tucker, the character inspired by Campbell, who was played with bilious zeal by Peter Capaldi. It was important for Malcolm to demonstrate his superiority by being the one who swore hardest and fastest, Martin said. Hes the king of the jungle. The initial episodes were filmed at a former Guinness brewery in West London, and, because of the low budget, Iannucci recalled, the crew worked fast: We couldnt spend an hour lighting it to shoot it this way, then do it all again to shoot it that way. The Thick of It was not a faux documentary, but Iannucci was at ease with jump cuts, imperfect lighting, half-heard insults. Ive done shows that I storyboarded, but I felt that this should be nervy and messy, he said. He took encouragement from the example of Robert Altman, whose work, he noted, often has five or six conversations going at once, and the brain does absorb it. At fifty pages, Iannuccis scripts were twice the length of the usual half-hour sitcom, and his rough cuts were an hour long. So he could afford to have bits that failed. Two handheld cameras, filming simultaneously, followed the action in long, fluid takes; this accepted the possibility that one camera might catch a glimpse of the other. Iannucci sometimes asked his actors to improvise, but even scripted lines were often delivered without polish. Although he workshopped with actors, and fed rehearsal-room improvisation back into the
scripts, he occasionally withheld final lines until the night before a shoot. He has also been known to give a line to one actor without telling the others. One of the things that interested Armando is that people in politics are constantly reacting to things going wrong, Tony Roche, the writer, said. Iannuccis attempt to reproduce that dynamic on the set was punishing for the actors, Roche added: You could see, in their eyes, the look of panic. Peter said thats partly why he ended up swearing a lothe was using fuck as a punctuation point as he tried to remember his next line. (In a memo Iannucci wrote to Veep colleagues about his working habits, he explained that he sometimes liked to reshoot the start of an episode at the end of the schedule, when the actors have the exhausted, lived-in look that I want right from the beginning.) The first episodes, broadcast in the U.K. in the spring of 2005, met with acclaim. Iannucci had created a form of screwball naturalism, a believable government workplace in which officials might make the mistake of relying on a focus group of one, or try to think up uncontroversial, budget-neutral policy ideas while driving to a press conference where that policy must be announced: National spare-room database? What about zoos? My kids went to a zoo the other day, and they said it was fucking disgusting. What if everyone had to carry a plastic bag by law? The show tempered its creators moralism with a tone of forgiveness. When Iannucci addresses an audience directlyon his own TV shows, or in his newspaper writinghe can be a scold. A few years ago, he wrote and hosted a television documentary in praise of Milton, and he quoted Satan, in Paradise Lost, speaking of his minds ability to make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven. This, Iannucci said to the camera, was the language of political spin, and operatives who employed such meaningless nonsense were literally doing the Devils work. But while The Thick of It certainly finds something corrosive in the relationship between politicians and the media, and discourages elevated thoughts about public serviceits a counterpoint to The West Wing, and even to Parks and Recreationthe show conveys a kind of warmth toward men whose greatest professional victories are days that end without the need to resign. The minister, Hugh Abbott, is played by Chris Langham, with a gently stunned quality; he is ridiculous, but he is trying to keep up. I work, I eat, I showerthats it, he says in one episode. Occasionally . . . I take a dump, just as a sort of treat. I mean, that really is my treat. Thats what its come to. I sit there and I think, No, Im not going to read the New Statesman. This time is just for me. In October, 2006, ABC announced that it was developing a U.S. version of The Thick of It. Mitchell Hurwitz, whose show Arrested Development had just been cancelled, was named executive producer and cowriter. In a recent e-mail, Hurwitz said that he saw similarities between Arrested Development and The Thick of It, which, in his reading, was about people whose big outward and important lives are run on a very small and impaired set of inner resources. He went on, That just really appeals to me comedically. . . . Big people with small hearts. Stupid people with high I.Q.s. Christopher Guest directed the pilot. Iannucci barely had a role. Peter Bennett-Jones, Iannuccis agent in the U.K., told me, It seemed to be in good hands, but they just didnt listen to Armando. The pilot, which never aired, starred Oliver Platt as an almost avuncular (and non-swearing) envoy from the office of his partys Whip, and John Michael Higgins as a peppy congressman who has never heard of The Daily Show. Seen today, the pilot seems flat. And there is no hint of melancholy, as there was in the British version, no sense of ideals eroded over time. Iannucci said, Its not awful, its just dullwhich, you know, is a good trick to pull off. Hurwitz defended the pilot, but admitted that it had lost the sense of mania of the original.
Bennett-Jones noted that the occasional successful export of a British sitcom shouldnt eclipse the more common story of disaster. As he put it, The Office is the exception rather than the rule.
Veep was largely shot in a warehouse in an industrial park fifteen miles west of Baltimore. The Wire was made in the same space. Iannuccis production team built a partial replica of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building: a corridor and five rooms. The Vice-Presidential office, in pastels, had some grandeur, but its outer office was a mess of cheap furniture and snow globes. Frank Rich, the New York columnist, is a creative consultant at HBO and an executive producer on Veep. He recently paraphrased an early memo that Iannucci wrote to the shows production designers: It said, No, Washington is not glamorous and glossy. It is shabby, people are slobs, nobody cleans anything, detritus stays around for weeks if not months, and everyone dresses ten years behind the times. Iannucci told me that his memory of his White House visit was of middle-aged men in suits who clearly have senior roles, sitting on sofas with laptops, because there was no desk. Big blokes on sofas, typing Iran-bombing strategy. One morning, Iannucci was shooting the shows fourth episode, which involves Selina Meyers appearance on Meet the Press, and her fear that a young governor, a war hero, might at some point make an attractive replacement as Vice-President. (Veep is set early in the first term of a President who is never seen, heard, or named. His party affiliation is unknown, although Iannuccis description of Meyer as a soft centrist risks identifying her as a Democrat, given the tone of the Republican primaries.) Some way into the episode, Meyer learns, via a White House emissary, that the President would like her to cool her enthusiasm for the filibuster reform that she hopes will be part of her legacy. Well, God bless the President, Meyer says to her staff. He is really a great man. But he is busting my fucking lady balls here. Louis-Dreyfus stressed both busting and fucking to good effect. Iannucci sat in front of video monitors in a half-lit space just off the corridor, first asking for a scripted take and then saying, Can we loosen up now, play about with it a little? The loose version was always longer: actors added more than they deleted. With both kinds of take, Iannucci liked to withhold the command Cut. Cameras stayed with the actors until they fell off the page of script, and had to find their own words. Between camera setups, Iannucci wrote instructions for his co-writers in the margins of another Veep script. He showed me a page: shorter; shorter; more Leon-ish. (Leon is a reporter who, in a nod to Frank Rich, is nicknamed the Beltway Butcher.) On Veep, one or two writers create a rough draft, which is reworked by Iannucci and circulated to all the others. You cant be precious about any line, Simon Blackwell, a writer and executive producer, later told me. And its often when the lines you really love are lost that you know the episodes working. That one joke doesnt matter anymore, because the reality of the scene and the relationships are funny. Louis-Dreyfus joined Iannucci for a few minutes, and, after switching out of snakeskin stilettos into slippers, she recalled their first meeting, in the fall of 2010. Her agent had described to her an idea for an HBO show about an unhappy Vice-President, and she had joined Iannucci for tea at the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles. Iannucci said of the meeting, I timed itit was three hours. Three hours, Louis-Dreyfus said. You know, I kept wondering if you were going to end it. I was afraid to leave. Were you wondering if I was going to leave? I had it down as this would be a half-hour getting to know you, Iannucci said. And I was expecting
lots of people. You were expecting an entourage? By that time, Iannucci had been talking to HBO for several years. The network had tried, unsuccessfully, to acquire the U.S. rights to The Thick of It, and had subsequently encouraged him to suggest other sitcom ideas. He pitched Couldnt Be Better, set at an Internet startup. It was a show, he said, about twentysomethings whod got a very popular Web site, who are on the verge, potentially, of being billionaires. HBO commissioned a script, which Iannucci wrote with Tony Roche, but the project was tabled after the financial crash of 2008. Iannucci said, We thought, Do people really want to watch a comedy about people loving being rich? And then The Social Network came out, and we thought, Oh, they do. (Couldnt Be Better is likely to be revived.) In 2009, Iannucci released In the Loop, a feature film in which a British minister for international development is dwarfed by the American political process. In writing the script, Iannucci said, he drew on his experience with ABCon having been just a tiny, tiny cog in the machine of a network and having gone out to America and being promised the world. He recalled, I started reading about how Blair would have these meetings with Bush, where hes thinking, This is going to change everything. And it changed nothing. I thought, Thats like some of the meetings Ive had in L.A., where theyre going, Were so delighted to see you, and you dont know if theyve even seen your stuff. Capaldi again played Malcolm Tucker, and the American cast included James Gandolfini, as Lieutenant General George Miller. (Have you ever even actually killed anybody? Tucker asks Miller. Falling asleep on someone, that doesnt count.) Alastair Campbell, reviewing In the Loop for the Guardian, argued that what worked as a series of halfhour TV satires did not work as a much longer film. The best cartoons are short. This was a very long cartoon. Though the film has dozens of winning linesincluding Tuckers Let them eat cock!some nimbleness was lost when Iannucci turned from the fictional Department of Social Affairs, where little seems to be at stake but self-respect, to the State Department and the United Nations, and to a dark conspiracy bringing the world to war. But In the Loop was well reviewed, and received an Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay. After In the Loop, Iannucci talked with HBO about making a new political comedy. The network had not been lucky in this realm. K Street, made by Steven Soderbergh and George Clooney, lasted for one pretentious season, in 2003. The Washingtonienne, a kind of D.C. Sex and the City, developed by Sarah Jessica Parker, made no progress beyond a pilot. Iannucci said of his project, It was a question of where it was going to be set. I didnt want it to be in the Presidents officethat felt too big. It could be a congressman, but thats quite small. A cabinet secretary? They dont last long. An embassy? The civil service? And then I thought, What about the Vice-President? A running joke of Veep is Meyers repeated question to her assistant: Did the President call? . . . No? As Iannucci said, The dynamic of the job is youre so close, and yet youre excluded. He was thinking less of Dick Cheney than of Lyndon Johnson: Kennedy makes him Vice-President, and hes sitting there, going, Is anything happening today? Do we know whats happening? He laughed. You know that people are slightly disrespecting you behind your back. But they cant disrespect you to your face, because you could be the most powerful person in the world one day. So everyone has to guard themselves when they speak to you, but you know that outsidein all of the restaurants and cocktail partiesyoure a joke. (As John Adams said when he was Vice-President, In this I am nothing, but I may be everything.)
In The Thick of It, the ministry had been decidedly second-tiera place where a middle-of-the-range politician is shunted, to keep him out of harms way, as Iannucci put it. He initially thought of his VicePresident in similar terms. Writing the outline of the pilot, we were still in that mind-set, thinking shes not quite good enough. With HBOs encouragement, he began to revise this notion. That was the great note we got from them, he said. Weve really got to believe it, and shes got to have clout. Given the career that he imagined for Meyeryears in the Senate, and her own run at her partys nominationhe realized that she couldnt be a complete buffoon. He had to allow her some dignity. It was commonplace for Malcolm to come in and hurl abuse at the minister, Iannucci recalled. You cant do that to the Vice-President. Youd be wrestled to the ground, and then rendered. Frank Rich, recalling these conversations, said, It was important that Selina not be a conventional sitcom comediennea Lucythrown into government. Shes not going to work each day just to hang around in her office and exchange quips with a bumbling staff. When Iannucci and Louis-Dreyfus met in L.A., they discussed the pilot, in which the Vice-Presidents long-range pursuit of clean-jobs legislation is threatened by the oil lobbys annoyance over her embrace of ecofriendly eating utensils. Louis-Dreyfus was amused: she had recently made an effort to green up the set of her CBS show, The New Adventures of Old Christine, which had just concluded a five-year run. Her experience had been that a cornstarch spoon, when immersed in hot coffee, takes the form of a flaccid penis. A spoon gag was later incorporated into the pilot. Louis-Dreyfus thought that the Vice-Presidential concept was a gold nugget that nobody had noticed. We fucking lucked out, she told me. And she felt that her experience of fame could inform her performance. Among the lines that Louis-Dreyfus later improvised in Veep is a moment, in the pilot, when she calls out to a guest at a fund-raiser, I see you. I see you. Louis-Dreyfus said, People are desperate to be seen by politicians and by celebrities. And it seems to make sense to identify and communicate to them what they wantYoure standing there, and I see you. She still felt some hesitation: she didnt know anybody who had worked with Iannucci, and although HBO did not expect its star to sign the kind of six- or seven-year contract that is standard for network sitcoms, there was still a commitment of several years. Its like getting married without knowing somebody, she told me. Its a real leap of faith that you must make, creatively. You have to pray to Jesus that your instincts are correct. By the end of 2010, she had signed on to Veep, with a producers credit. For the role of the VicePresidents young chief of staff, Iannucci hired Anna Chlumsky, who had played a State Department staffer in In the Loop. In a process that ended in a day of group improvisation with Louis-Dreyfus, in Los Angeles, Iannucci chose other cast members, including Tony Hale, who plays Gary, the bag-carrying assistant, too old for the job, who whispers social talking points in her ear at parties; Reid Scott, as Dan, a handsome, amoral aide; and Timothy Simons, who gives an expert performance as Jonah, an ungainly White House liaison. To the extent that Selina Meyer would be subjected to Malcolm-style belittling, it would be in the form of Jonahs borderline discourtesy. We met a couple of people like this, Iannucci recalled. Theyre sent over from the White House with instructions, and they have to be listened to and obeyed, but theyre little children, really. The pilot was shot last spring. As a placeholder, Iannucci included passages from The Chairman Dances, by John Adams, as the incidental music. HBO was eager to make Veep a series, but first asked for a
conference call. Though in the pilot Meyer is no buffoon, she still seems out of her depth: she fails to draw a crowd at a reception, she is insulted by a former Senate colleague, and she fumbles a speech that the White House has editedor pencil-fucked, as she puts itat the last minute. Her haplessness is defined, in part, by the shows secondary characters, who seem to fill gaps in her political character. Dan, the Machiavellian, compensates for her lack of guile; as Meyer says, quite loudly, in defense of her decision to hire him, I need a shit. Iannucci described his conference call with HBO: it was about Meyers sense of political purpose, about how we need to feel she has a set of beliefsan identity, even if she compromises it, or alters it. Iannucci took the point, and the second episode introduces a new political ambitionfilibuster reformand reduces her ineptitude. (This seems to parallel a change in Parks and Recreation, whose protagonist, played by Amy Poehler, became markedly more acute and competent over the course of its first seasons.) In this slightly evolved role, Meyer is still unlikely to achieve anything, but it will always be clear that she wishes to do so, and that her office is burdensome. By the end of the season, Iannucci said, shell become quite steely; and there will be evidence of how devastating a public role can bewhat it can do to you privately and emotionally. Shell also run into trouble for reassigning a Secret Service agent who smiles too much.
n a drive through Baltimore one evening, Iannucci spoke glowingly about a Mahler concert that he had just heard at the Peabody Institute, at Johns Hopkins University, and added, I always get confused when Im in Los Angeles. I dont know where I am or how anything connects. My perception of L.A. is being in a hotel where, at breakfast, you hear other people talking about television and movies. In Baltimore, other people are talking about fish and football and music. He was in the middle of a three-week stint of filming, during which he would not get home to Hertfordshire. He had never spent such a long time away from his family. Sarah Sands, a British journalist who first met Iannucci a decade ago, when, as an editor at the Daily Telegraph, she commissioned articles from him, told me, There is something of the priest about Armando. While other comedians of his generation were out snorting cocaine, he was always getting the train home. In Baltimore, his manner was businesslike; you wouldnt mistake him for someone having a lot of fun. If I was twenty years younger, Id be kind of Oh, I cant believe this, he said to me one daymeaning the cast, the set, the motorcycle outriders. Id be sending photos to my friends. But, no, Im thinking, I want this to be good. Rich said of him, Hes incredibly efficient, knows what he wants. When the production hit a snag someone had forgotten to call a cast member to a location shootIannucci rewrote a few lines and then tried to stop people from spending a lot of time on a postmortem as to why it happened. Iannuccis abiding interest, and the connection between Alan Partridge and Selina Meyer, is public image the thought that behind every social exterior is a person who is scared of being judged. Iannucci seems to be unusually free of such fears. He has little apparent vanity or neurosis; in his own life, he has closed the gap between public and private. His subdued, affable purposefulness seems to extend as far as he extends. In a field in which everyone mocks everything, Iannucci has made himself impressively unmockable. In Britain, he maintains a professional life beyond comedy scripts. He has appeared on Question Time, the leading weekly political panel show. He regularly writes for newspapers. He wrote the libretto for an opera about plastic surgery, which was performed in 2009. And he is working on a novel, Tongue International, about the success of a for-profit language. You cant quite express as much as you normally express, but its popular, so everyone can understand, he explained. But it does mean that peoples thought processes become a little
constricted. When I had lunch with Louis-Dreyfuswho, like Iannucci, seems to guard against workplace ebullience she said that though she didnt think of Iannucci as being unhappy, she still took particular satisfaction in making him laugh. She called him an exceptionally kind person. People dont talk about kindness very much. Later, she got up from the table to try to mimic his walk, which is brisk and short-legged: Its Chaplin! Its the Little Tramp. I just now realized that. Alastair Campbell wrote in the Guardian that, after meeting Iannucci, he wondered whether he really believed that all politics was basically crass, all politicians venal, all advisers base. From watching In the Loop, I suspect he does. In the 2010 British General Election, he voted for the Liberal Democrats, the party that then formed a coalition government with the Conservative Party. This coalition will be represented in a new season of The Thick of It, to be shot this spring. Iannucci does not believe that all politicians are wicked, and hes grateful that they run for office. But, in his view, its not possible to make a half-hour comedy based on the thought that ninety-five per cent of politicians are just getting on with working quite hard. Moreover, he said, The Thick of It wouldnt have resonated were it not for the fact that this representation somehow does connect with what goes on. He added, I think its up to politicians to show that there is another side. Recently, when Prime Minister David Cameron admitted that he had ridden a retired police horse at the country home of Rebekah Brooksthe former tabloid editor at the center of the phonehacking scandalcommentators joked that The Thick of It is probably writing itself this year. Veep will premire in April. One wonders if its depiction of politics will inspire in American viewers a similar sense of recognition. Richard Plepler, the co-president of HBO, recently observed that Iannucci, in an unusual turn for satire, has toned down the cynicism of Washington life. Part of Iannuccis genius, he said, was that, in this very heightened and extreme and almost hyper-political culture that we are in, hes softened the voice a little bit, through irony. At a time when politicians describe their opponents as enemies of the state, a comedy of office missteps and compromised principleseven one with relentlessly profane dialogueis a diversion, just as The West Wing offered escape from its own political era. The diversion is welcome: I recently saw unfinished edits of much of the first season, and each episode was funnier than the last. But it wasnt clear if, with Veep, Iannucci would ever reach a place quite as satisfying as he did with The Thick of It. The various efforts to internationalize the success of The Thick of It may have not fully taken into account that the show is more about work than politics. Its a workplace where ones embarrassments may spill onto the evening news, but its nevertheless about private humiliations and defeats, and how men in offices are much like boys in high school. As Iannucci himself said, of Veep, A lot of the stories in the end are Everyman stories, and if it didnt happen in the Vice-Presidents office it would happen in a shoe shop in Milan. Its just people trying to get on, and not wanting to be found out. He said of the situations on Veep, I want the viewer to think, What would I do? Id probably end up doing the same. But the size of the stage on which Vice-Presidential affairs occuror any national politics in America risks overwhelming that shoe-shop spirit. In Veep, almost any workplace incompetence, or even informality, is a threat to its hoped-for naturalism. Anna Chlumskys youthful mannerismsthe little shake of the head with which a teen-ager accompanies the word whateveralso have this effect. I saw that as an interesting challenge, Iannucci said, when asked about Vice-Presidential gravitas. And I like that big stage. With Veep, he said, Its all about showing the big public world Selina inhabits, but once
weve clocked it were moving in, microscopically, onto the four or five people who are stuck in it. And sometimes you can get intimate stuff because its public. If something embarrassing happens, Selina has to try to find somewhere she can compose herself, and those places are necessarily really quiet and really small.
annucci spent much of last fall in Baltimore and Washington, looking forward to going home, dressed in various shades of gray. When James Hoffa visited his own office while Veep was filming there, he seemed unable to process the thought that Iannucci might be in charge: he scanned the room, as if looking for anyone identifiable as having substance, and, finding nobody but himself, started issuing pleasantries in a booming voice: You know, you guys are like interior decorators! At that location, Iannucci and Louis-Dreyfus had a considered conversation about possible elements of Vice-Presidential smut to include in her phone call with her lawyer boyfriend. I need your finger on the button? Louis-Dreyfus said, thinking aloud. Iannucci replied, Ready to launchor is that already in there? He threw out suggestive terms: Predator, missile, body man. Louis-Dreyfus said, I need someone in a very powerful position . . . A pause, before Iannucci said, Defcock 1? One morning, Iannucci was shooting an episode at Camden Yards, the home of the Baltimore Orioles. Members of the team, playing themselves, gathered on the field, in uniform, waiting for a scene in which Meyer would have a brief photo op with them. At this point in the episode, she has a lot on her mind, and Louis-Dreyfus played her with feverish social energy. Her laugh, with its emphasis on the inhale, carried across the empty stadium. Short on baseball expertise, Meyer calls Jonah, the White House liaison, for guidance (Theyre all in the same outfit and theyve all got beards. . . . Oh, wait, theyve got numbers), and then babbles to Tommy Hunter, the Orioles starting pitcher, Isnt it nice how the lettering works on these tops? After one take, Hunter was both exuberant and self-doubting. I suck at improv! he said. Iannucci was reassuring. Thats great, he said. Are you being facetious? Hunter asked. No, Im BritishI always sound facetious. At lunch, Iannucci and Simon Blackwell listened to Chris Godsick, an executive producer, make the case that they should fill their days off with manly outdoor pursuits, like sky-diving. A nice meal would be fine, Blackwell said. Iannucci announced that they were exactly halfway through their shooting schedule. He showed me photographs on his iPad: his familys small black dog, some Malcolm Tucker refrigerator magnets, Joe Bidens former chief of staff, andseen from a planea cloud in the shape of Margaret Thatcher. Iannucci and Blackwell explained how they had put together a baseball-related episode with no knowledge of baseball. The Internet is your friend, Blackwell said. On the field, Iannucci rearranged people and cameras. Pointing, he asked Godsick, Whats thatwhat do you call it? Home plate, Godsick said.

My beloved siblings,
I have decided to keep in touch with you through this media every fortnight…I will share everything I am doing on behalf of you… I love to be transparent and plain with you as I wish to work as your mirror image before the higher desks of the administration. You are my everything and your opinion and suggestions keep me more confident. I license you to share everything you feel on the common objective of the cadre.
I always believe in team work and I define team as T=together, E=each, A=achieve, M=more…Circle working committee is formatted to work in tandem to achieve our goals and we have many issues to be attended on top priority basis along with all the inherent complexities.
As of now, we have to tackle with administration on drawal of bunching benefit to our senior ASPs, PSS Group B DPC, Cadre restructuring, All India Gradation list, MACP issues and many more. We are combating to get every entitlement through legal struggle since last decade. We need to motivate our CHQ through our physical, financial and psychological support.
Circle working committee meeting has to be done in the coming month and Shimoga friends are examining the proposal…I will issue the notification very early. We will sit together and create some important teams on drafting, blog management, organizational elements, legal aspects etc in our forthcoming CWC meeting.
Each one of us needs to be very rigorous and active rather than expecting everything from the CS. I am here to represent your attitude, trend, emotions and feel….But, I need your total involvement in all the common issues which will serve the welfare of each member of the cadre.
Association is always in the pursuit of withstanding the interest of the members…But efforts are not rewarded friends ….Only results will be rewarded… Hope you will join your shoulders in achieving results oriented efforts of our ongoing struggles…
Yours amiably,

Wasted energies are the same as lost opportunities.
- Posted: April 27, 2015
- 454 words
There are spiritual laws that govern what we will or won't discover about ourselves in this lifetime.
And when we understand that self-knowledge is to our spiritual growth what a spring rain is to the wildflower seeds that await it, then we also realize how vital it is to not just embrace these higher laws but embrace them mind, body, and soul.
Following are three laws to help you awaken and realize your highest spiritual possibilities.
If It Doesn't Flow, There's More to Know
Learn to recognize all forms of strain -- whether at work, in your creative efforts, or in your relationships -- as being unnecessary. The mounting friction you feel when busy at some labor is never caused by the task at hand but by what you don't yet know about it. This means the only real reason for your strain is that you've got hold of a wrong idea you don't yet see as wrong. This new insight allows you to release yourself by showing you what you need to know. Flowing follows your new knowing.
Refuse to Take the Easy Way
There's no getting away from what you don't know, which is why anytime you feel compelled to go around a problem by taking the easy way, i.e., pretending it doesn't exist, blaming others for your pain, or meeting it with half-measures, that problem always comes back around again. And isn't that what makes life seem so hard? Learn to see the "easy way" as a lying thought that keeps you tied up and doing hard time. Getting through something is not the same as having it completed. And as this insight grows, so will your understanding that the whole idea of the "hard way" has always been just a lying thought as well. Now you know: the complete way is the easy way. So volunteer to make the "hard way" your way, and learn what it means to live the effortless way.
Persistence Always Prevails
If you'll persist with your sincere wish for higher learning, you can't help but succeed. Persistence always prevails because part of its power is to hold you in place until either the world lines up with your wish or you see that your wish is out of line. But, for whichever way it turns in that moment, you've won something that only persistence can buy. If you get what you think you have to have to be happy and you're still not satisfied, then you've learned what doesn't work. Now you can go on to higher things. And should you learn you've been wearing yourself out with useless wishes, then this discovery allows you to turn your energies in a new direction: self-liberation.

This version is a remix made by the american producer Mathia Gavriel aka Mati Moon™. Thanks to Sheppard Solomon, Lisa Glaeser & Mohawk.

I started with the 10g of Vitality Enhanced Blend, a sort of tan dust. Used 2 little-spoonfuls (dust tastes a fair bit like green/oolong tea dust) into the tea mug and then some boiling water. A minute of steeping and… bleh. Tastes sort of musty and sour. (I see why people recommended sweetening it with honey.) The effects? While I might've been more motivated - I hadn't had caffeine that day and was a tad under the weather, a feeling which seemed to go away perhaps half an hour after starting - I can't say I experienced any nausea or very noticeable effects. (At least the flavor is no longer quite so offensive.)
This looks interesting: the Noopept effect is positive for all the dose levels, but it looks like a U-curve - low at 10mg, high at 15mg, lower at 20mg, and even lower at 30mg 48mg and 60mg aren't estimated because they are hit by the missingness problem: the magnesium citrate variable is unavailable for the days the higher doses were taken on, and so their days are omitted and those levels of the factor are not estimated. One way to fix this is to drop magnesium from the model entirely, at the cost of fitting the data much more poorly and losing a lot of R2:
That it is somewhat valuable is clear if we consider it under another guise. Imagine you received the same salary you do, but paid every day. Accounting systems would incur considerable costs handling daily payments, since they would be making so many more and so much smaller payments, and they would have to know instantly whether you showed up to work that day and all sorts of other details, and the recipients themselves would waste time dealing with all these checks or looking through all the deposits to their account, and any errors would be that much harder to track down. (And conversely, expensive payday loans are strong evidence that for poor people, a bi-weekly payment is much too infrequent.) One might draw a comparison to batching or buffers in computers: by letting data pile up in buffers, the computer can then deal with them in one batch, amortizing overhead over many items rather than incurring the overhead again and again. The downside, of course, is that latency will suffer and performance may drop based on that or the items becoming outdated & useless. The right trade-off will depend on the specifics; one would not expect random buffer-sizes to be optimal, but one would have to test and see what works best.
My first time was relatively short: 10 minutes around the F3/F4 points, with another 5 minutes to the forehead. Awkward holding it up against one's head, and I see why people talk of LED helmets, it's boring waiting. No initial impressions except maybe feeling a bit mentally cloudy, but that goes away within 20 minutes of finishing when I took a nap outside in the sunlight. Lostfalco says Expectations: You will be tired after the first time for 2 to 24 hours. It's perfectly normal., but I'm not sure - my dog woke me up very early and disturbed my sleep, so maybe that's why I felt suddenly tired. On the second day, I escalated to 30 minutes on the forehead, and tried an hour on my finger joints. No particular observations except less tiredness than before and perhaps less joint ache. Third day: skipped forehead stimulation, exclusively knee & ankle. Fourth day: forehead at various spots for 30 minutes; tiredness 5/6/7/8th day (11/12/13/4): skipped. Ninth: forehead, 20 minutes. No noticeable effects.
A poster or two on Longecity claimed that iodine supplementation had changed their eye color, suggesting a connection to the yellow-reddish element bromine - bromides being displaced by their chemical cousin, iodine. I was skeptical this was a real effect since I don't know why visible amounts of either iodine or bromine would be in the eye, and the photographs produced were less than convincing. But it's an easy thing to test, so why not?
But when aficionados talk about nootropics, they usually refer to substances that have supposedly few side effects and low toxicity. Most often they mean piracetam, which Giurgea first synthesized in 1964 and which is approved for therapeutic use in dozens of countries for use in adults and the elderly. Not so in the United States, however, where officially it can be sold only for research purposes.
Natural and herbal nootropics are by far the safest and best smart drugs to ingest. For this reason, they're worth covering first. Our recommendation is always to stick with natural brain fog cures. Herbal remedies for enhancing mental cognition are often side-effect free. These substances are superior for both long-term safety and effectiveness. They are also well-studied and have deep roots in traditional medicine.

Among the questions to be addressed in the present article are, How widespread is the use of prescription stimulants for cognitive enhancement? Who uses them, for what specific purposes? Given that nonmedical use of these substances is illegal, how are they obtained? Furthermore, do these substances actually enhance cognition? If so, what aspects of cognition do they enhance? Is everyone able to be enhanced, or are some groups of healthy individuals helped by these drugs and others not? The goal of this article is to address these questions by reviewing and synthesizing findings from the existing scientific literature. We begin with a brief overview of the psychopharmacology of the two most commonly used prescription stimulants.
Many of the most popular "smart drugs" (Piracetam, Sulbutiamine, Ginkgo Biloba, etc.) have been around for decades or even millenia but are still known only in medical circles or among esoteric practicioners of herbal medicine. Why is this? If these compounds have proven cognitive benefits, why are they not ubiquitous? How come every grade-school child gets fluoride for the development of their teeth (despite fluoride's being a known neurotoxin) but not, say, Piracetam for the development of their brains? Why does the nightly news slant stories to appeal more to a fear-of-change than the promise of a richer cognitive future?
If you want to focus on boosting your brain power, Lebowitz says you should primarily focus on improving your cardiovascular health, which is "the key to good thinking." For example, high blood pressure and cholesterol, which raise the risk of heart disease, can cause arteries to harden, which can decrease blood flow to the brain. The brain relies on blood to function normally.
Panax ginseng – A review by the Cochrane Collaboration concluded that "there is a lack of convincing evidence to show a cognitive enhancing effect of Panax ginseng in healthy participants and no high quality evidence about its efficacy in patients with dementia."[36] According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, "[a]lthough Asian ginseng has been widely studied for a variety of uses, research results to date do not conclusively support health claims associated with the herb."[37]
