Homeschooling was something I never pictured becoming a part of my life. My only real exposure to the topic, aside from that discussed in pop culture such as on the show "19 Kids and Counting," was in wishing my parents would let me do it (as independent study), so I wouldn't have to go to high school. I was voluntarily missing a lot of class at that time in my life 🙂
I went to law school thinking I would spend the next 10 or so years dedicated to my career. Instead, I ended up a mommy of three wonderful children, who I couldn't bare to be apart from.
Anyone who knows me knows that my kids challenge me endlessly, especially my oldest. But in addition to her spirited disagreements, she's also pretty damn amazing. I found that when she was attending preschool (which we absolutely loved), she would expend all of her positive energy, and be too tired and grouchy to have a good time with afterwards.
Additionally, many of the challenges I face with my children stem from their inborn curiosity. They just cannot resist trying things to see what happens. The neat corrolary is their love for learning. There is nothing more rewarding than following my daughter's interests and seeing the look on her face to experience something new or exciting. (YouTube videos of tarantulas nonwithstanding).
Thus, after struggling with what the next step might be for us, I decided to take a trial run at homeschooling over the summer, and see whether the fun, learning opportunity filled, somewhat less stressful times would outweigh the ones where I was ripping my hair out or about to implode. So far, I am happy to report, the scales have been weighed in my favor. I'll write more on our summer in another post.
Thus, tentatively, I believe homeschooling may be the right thing for our family for now. We are waiting to see how this year unfolds before deciding about the big K!

How to wear a scarf (so it doesn't wear you)
Ever felt a bit awkward, wearing a knotted silk scarf? Alice Tate finds a solution
Added on
How chic does a knotted silk scarf with a simple jeans-and-tee combo look on other people? Ah, it pains me. Oh, to look that good…There's clearly an art to the tying, because on the few times I've tried it, I just feel conscious that my outfit is like, "GUYS, GUYS! CHECK IT OUT – I'M WEARING A SCARF!" It's daunting isn't it?
After much studying on Pinterest, I tried the knotted-round-the-neck trick again with more guidance and, actually, it felt pretty damn good. When done right, it instantly dresses up an outfit and makes your look appear considered and sophisticated. After a few other styling ideas I'd researched, I realised a scarf doesn't always have to wear you…
Knotted around your neck
The well-tested easy outfit-maker that's as cool and classic as it is easy to master.
Around your wrist
Now that you've learnt to perfectly master the Jenna Roll, add a hefty dose of chic to those exposed wrists.
On your bag
Instantly spruce up your tired leather bag. A hit of a colour and an easy air of luxury.

I've had what I now understand are bunions since about 7-8 years old, my mother had them and all my sisters have them; my mum only had surgery about 3 years ago. I'm 27 today and I've finally been referred to hospital for possible surgery! I cannot wait!!
I've had ugly painful feet for as long as i can remember and I've hidden under black socks and had the complete mick taken out off them all my life! I hate my feet!!!! I've been called diamond feet; my charming husband calls them reptile feet! lol.... Even on my wedding day i had to take my shoes off after 2 hours.... I can't bare them to be touched or looked at by another person.
I decided I wanted to have surgery a few years ago after seeing the results my mum had and her feet are pain free and beautiful now.
I hate not being able to wear pretty sandals and flip-flops.... people actually stare at the monsters...
I trained in ballet as a child from 4 to about 13 and my GP thinks I could have triggered it off earlier than I might have got them through dance. It's not just about the appearance either; they really bloody hurt all the time, walking, standing if you knock them it horrid!
And if I dare to wear some high heels then I know I'mm going to be aching after about 2 hours wearing them, I get pain in my shins and calfs (throbbing pain).
I have to buy my shoes in a plus size clothing shop even though im a petite size 8 in clothes because they cater for women with wide feet!
I've suffered long enough and surgery for me is only way to go.
It's all very well to have things to help like the cushions or splints but it will only get worse and worse, if you have genetic bunions get them removed before you get in your late 20's so you don't feel ashamed of your feet!!

GALESBURG — Now that the sale of the Ralph M. Noble American Legion Post 285 building is final, the future home of the transport vehicle out front is yet to be determined.
The amphibious vehicle, which local residents commonly — and mistakenly — call a tank, is at the post under a lease agreement with the U.S. Department of Defense. Cedar Creek Hall, the reception/events venue taking over the 571 E. North St. property, doesn't want it nor could the business keep it.
According to Knox County property records, the sale was finalized March 9 for $210,000 between the Legion and Cedar Creek.
Post Commander Timothy Roll said the legion's charter remains intact and they are working on where the transport vehicle may end up.
Janet Thompson Spoden is the daughter of James A. Thompson, who helped spearhead the effort to bring the vehicle to Galesburg in the mid-1990s. It was unveiled on Veterans Day 1998 after arriving in town about a month earlier by way of train.
In the Oct. 12, 1998, edition of The Register-Mail, the 1944 LVT Landing Vehicle was featured and Legionnaire Jim Thompson was highlighted for leading the effort to bring it here. A World War II Marine veteran himself, he served in the Pacific on a similar vehicle during his service. Thompson died in February 2005 at age 83.
In the weeks before the article ran, Thompson said kids had come up to ask questions about the new addition to Galesburg's landscape.
He said then, "I told my wife that's the very reason we wanted to get it."
The vehicle came to Galesburg from the Amphibian Museum at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton in Oceanside, California, in mid-September 1998. It also was transported to Galesburg by way of a BNSF flatbed. BNSF delivered the LVT free of charge.
The LVT was used to transport 20 to 25 men at a time, or fellow Marines in Thompson's case.
The 1998 story said, "The LVTs were the creation of Donald Roebling, the grandson of the designer of the Brooklyn Bridge. He designed and built his first amphibian tractor, called The Alligator, in 1935."
The Alligator mostly came about as a way to help hurricane victims in Florida in the 1930s, but then Roebling sold his patent to the U.S. government.
LVTs could tear through coral reefs as it brought troops in or out from islands in the Pacific during WWII and also was used to cross rivers in Europe during fighting there.
Thompson told The Register-Mail in 1998 that as the new building was being constructed in 1996, discussion talked about a monument for the post. At that time, Thompson suggested the amphibious vehicle.
It was subsequently dedicated Nov. 11, 1998, during a Veterans Day ceremony. In the article highlighting the event in the next day's paper, Thompson talked about the vehicle.
"We hope it will be treated as a symbol of the efforts of our veterans in preserving our freedom," Thompson said at the time.
Spoden also provided to The Register-Mail a letter between her father and then-BNSF Chairman, president and Chief Executive Officer Robert Krebs.
Thompson included a novel with his letter of appreciation to Krebs. The book was "Utmost Savagery" by Col. Joseph Alexander and focused on the Battle of Tarawa and the use of Marine amphibious assault vehicle in November 1943.
Thompson wrote, speaking as an amphibian officer himself and citing the author of the novel using it during the Vietnam War, he said Alexander "portrays the special importance of the 'amphibian tractors' in their ability to negotiate the coral reefs surrounding the island and transport the infantry troops from the troop transport ships to the beaches."
Thompson continued, "As a former member of the 2nd Amphibian Tractor Battalion, this project has a special meaning for me and for other members of our Legion Post who were transported ashore in these craft during other island assaults during World War II as well as the Korean War and Viet Nam. This 'Am-Trac' will be preserved and will honor all Veterans of all wars for all times!"
Spoden, now living in northeastern Georgia, said there is a deadline of May 1, or about a month from now, for the transport vehicle to find a new home in Galesburg, or somewhere else. She followed along with the American Legion news about its stability and eventual building sale.
"I became concerned because I, selfishly, didn't want to see that part of military history leave," she said. "Any military equipment that's in front of an American Legion or in front of a VFW is all on loan from the D.O.D."
Stephen German, post commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2257 at 1001 Michigan Ave., said they are not pursuing keeping the vehicle at their facility. He further noted the VFW already has a tank and a cannon. A Humvee is also sitting outside the Galesburg facility.
German, in his second term as post commander, further said there was interest from American Legion posts in Williamsfield and Galva about housing the amphibious vehicle.
"We got other things we need to do here," German said. "We are talking about maybe bringing a helicopter ... we've been working on that for a little while and working with Springfield.
"I think we're about at the end of the trail with the red tape" to bring the helicopter here.
Both Spoden and Roll also said the Galesburg VFW isn't going to house the vehicle.
"If May 1 comes and goes and it's not out of there, I don't know legally what they can do," Spoden said.
"This cannot be sold and put in someone's backyard. It's on their property, but the value of the Amtrac at this point in time is more sentimental than anything."

Nine Inch Nails - Broken (1992)
Influenced by Ministry and Godflesh, the "Broken" EP left behind the typically '80s style synthpop influences and the self-tormenting, passive aggressive feeling of "Pretty Hate Machine". It was fully guitar centered, aggressive and had explicit lyrics about society critics and inner struggles. While these inner struggles were introverted on "Pretty Hate Machine", now they turned more extroverted and this unleashing rage assisted by strongly distrorted sounding, resulted the heaviest industrial record of those times.
Nine Inch Nails was always famous about showing the main direction of musical progression by creating a very high quality record influenced by the additional style and the same time it became a remarkable influence too. "Pretty Hate Machine" illustrated the late '80s pretty well such as "Broken" includes the main musical features of the early '90s. So it's not only an excellent EP, but an important audio document of a musical period.

If you thought golf's official rule book was complex and long-winded, try reading the USGA's Handicapping Manual. Worse, slog through CONGU's version.
CONGU stands for Council of National Golf Unions and is made up of representatives from each nation's golf union in the British Isles (England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland). It was formed in 1924 after the R&A convened a meeting for the purpose of developing a uniform handicapping system.
As with the rule book, modifications to the UHS (Unified Handicapping System) occur frequently as clauses, instructions, definitions, etc. become outdated and the game advances. Indeed, Board Chairman Jim McArthur recently said the system "never stands still and is constantly under review to reflect experience and new evidence".
One part of the CONGU system that has remained unchanged for decades though, is that when establishing a handicap or playing competitions that may result in the lowering or raising of your handicap, the golfer must be playing in a 'Qualifying Round' and the scorecard must be 'marked and signed by a responsible person acceptable to the Handicap Committee'.
Those words are hidden away on page 29, in Part 4 Section 16 (actually 16.2), and don't appear anywhere else in the 104-page booklet which includes tables and calculations Albert Einstein might initially struggle to grasp. It seems such an innocuous, not to say obvious, directive. In Britain (where I grew up) no one ever questions it.
On Monday, the USGA announced that among six changes it was making to its handicapping system, golfers would no longer be allowed to post scores after playing on their lonesome. My immediate reaction, and that of every other British golfer I know, was shock that our American counterparts could actually post scores after playing alone. I've lived in the US for 14 years, and must admit I didn't know that.
Meanwhile, nearly every American golfer I know was seriously distressed, convinced their governing body was questioning their integrity and saying solo golfers could not be trusted to post a genuine, honest score made while adhering to all the rules of golf. A couple even said the USGA was essentially calling them liars.
Not surprisingly, the USGA wording of the new rule was a little vague - "To further support the key System premise of peer review, scores made while playing alone will no longer be acceptable for handicap purposes. This change underscores the importance of providing full and accurate information regarding a player's potential scoring ability, and the ability of other players to form a reasonable basis for supporting or disputing a posted score."
After asking the USGA for clarification on a couple of points – what peer review actually looked like, and what a reasonable basis for supporting or disputing a posted score might be - the rule, and the motivation behind it, actually became a little hazier. But it wasn't difficult to see why so many Americans had taken to social media to vent their anger, some going as far as to say they would actually be giving the game up if they couldn't play alone. (Some seemed to miss the point entirely - of course you can still play golf by yourself, you just can't post a score for handicapping purposes after doing so.)
Yesterday, I engaged in a three-hour Twitter conversation with three established golf writers – Ryan Ballengee, Courtney Capps and Gary McCormick – who all appeared disappointed not only with the rule itself but also the way it was announced. "I wish the USGA would make a better effort to communicate," said Capps. "Or maybe even throw out a trial balloon to see what kind of reaction they're going to get. Then again, with the reaction we've seen, they probably don't want to wade through piles of emails from people who think that dropping a second ball on a few holes is ok when posting a score."
In a Golf News Net column, Ballengee said the USGA 'had called B.S.' on golfers' reverence for the sport's rules, and on golfers who did the right thing by calling penalties on themselves. The former Golf Channel reporter joked the USGA was effectively calling solo golfers 'cheating bums' and instructing them to 'get a friend'.
McCormick was actually more puzzled than angry asking what event had taken place that precipitated the rule change. It's a good question – what prompted the USGA to modify the rule that had allowed solo golfers to post scores for so long?
The consensus seemed to be the USGA merely wanted to come in line with the R&A and other authorities around the world on the issue, while Ballengee specified it was also done to prevent sandbagging. "They want honest handicaps at the club level (not inflated) and at their championship qualifiers," he said. He's right – the USGA receives almost 10,000 entries for the US Open. If everyone can reliably play to the 1.4 handicap limit required, it makes the competition stronger and prevents those amusing, though tedious, cases of golfers clearly unable to break 90 from playing.
But besides the expected knee-jerk reaction, what else might come of the USGA's decision? Ballengee suspects handicaps will balloon and fewer players will purchase the capability to own a handicap through a GHIN-affiliated agency or state golf association. Again, he's likely right in both instances, and while the second is possibly cause for concern, I'm not sure rising handicaps is necessarily a bad thing.
If the only time you use your handicap is in a competition or during money matches with your buddies, does it not make sense to have a handicap that reflects how well you play in competition - when something is actually on the line?
For golfers who have posted solo scores for many years, I totally understand why the USGA's new rule is upsetting. You enjoy the solitude, and your schedule might not always match that of your friends. But, as we all know, a downhill four-foot putt looks very different when it really matters than it does when you're out for a quick nine holes by yourself. As Ballengee said in his column, you don't want to be playing for money with a handicap that in no way reflects how well you actually play the game. Sure, you can shoot 72 when no one's looking and you might inadvertently miss a couple of unfamiliar rules, but you don't want to be giving your opponents too many strokes when you're actually closer to an 80-shooter.
I've also heard people keep a handicap purely to keep track of their own progress, not for competitive play. Fair enough, but why spend money on obtaining a handicap when you don't actually use it? Just adopt your own system, and keep track of your handicap on a spreadsheet.
I suspect this rule change will ultimately have much the same impact on golf and golfers as the USGA/R&A's decision to ban anchoring the putter. It doesn't seem right or fair to begin with, and a good many people will most definitely be negatively affected. But we'll find a way to keep playing and enjoying the game, because we love it so much.
Capps likewise believes the initial reaction has been a little too spontaneous perhaps. "Once the initial shock of this announcement goes away and whiny millennials get over themselves, things will go back to business as usual," he says. "And R&A members will stiffen their upper lips and let us know this was how it was supposed to be all along."

The Basic Course usually has the highest enrollment and largest number of sections in a Communication Department, so there are often many instructors with varying levels of experience teaching the course. In many M.A. and Ph.D. granting departments, the course is taught primarily by graduate students who are trained and supervised by a Basic Course Director. In departments that focus primarily on undergraduate teaching, the course is often taught by full-time faculty. Across all types of institutions, departments often rely on part-time or adjunct instructors to teach the course, sometimes with little or no preparation time before the semester begins.
The training and ongoing instructional development needs of instructors vary depending on the experience of the instructors who are teaching the course, so training programs should be tailored to best meet the needs of those instructors. Because the training for this course often includes graduate students and new instructors who are the future faculty of the discipline, it is imperative that departments invest time and resources into the training and development of their instructors to ensure the sustainability of their Basic Course program.
The links below share training schedules and an overview of the topics and activities for training programs from several M.A. and Ph.D. granting universities. These schedules serve as examples of what Basic Course Directors might want to consider including in training and development programs.
What do Basic Course training programs include?
Because M.A. and Ph.D. students sometimes have different amounts of teaching experience when they begin their graduate programs, their training needs vary.

Pressure Cook
Nick Denton may be a notoriously mercurial pain in the ass, but that doesn't mean Gawker isn't generally a really good read. And the people he hires -- and occasionally fires because the pillow goblins told him to -- are a major reason for that.
This morning, Fox News's #1 comedy show, Fox & Friends -- specifically the show's most shameless hack, Doocy the Clown -- went on a somewhat inexplicable tear against Gawker, basically casting it as irrelevant and declaring the website officially way past its prime. While Fox and Gawker have never exactly been on the same page politically or culturally, the attack seemed especially odd simply because there hasn't been anything in particular lately that might prompt Fox to lash out in Gawker's direction like the schoolyard bully that it is.
Well, Gawker's John Cook -- who has admittedly made it his mission to be an ongoing thorn in the side of Fox and Roger Ailes -- says he knows exactly why Fox is choosing now to strike. Why it needs to plant the seed among its audience that Gawker's is a voice not to be trusted. According to Cook -- the move was preemptive.

Strategies to follow for the best billboard advertising
Billboard advertising can be a tricky form of advertising. It can be said as a secondary form of advertising in terms of getting the direct response from the target audience. As a driver of a two-wheeler, three-wheeler, or a four-wheeler, one comes across several billboards. There are some billboards that get the desired attention from the audience, while there are some billboards that do not get the desired attention and get ignored. This short blog would focus on some of the strategies that would help the billboard advertising achieve their desired aim.
- The sentence structure
Only a single and short sentence would work when it comes to the billboard advertising medium. No traveler would be able to read long sentences while driving the vehicle. So, the sentence needs to be short and direct to the point. The sentence formation to be as simple as possible so that the readers can easily understand it.
- The image selection
It is obvious that a billboard would not do the desired work until and unless it does not have an appropriate image or picture with the sentence. In fact, the image would be the first impression on the viewers. So, the image selection must be very carefully done.
- Be cautious about unusual distraction on the road
The travelers on the road are the main viewers of the billboard advertising. Thus, the road traffic must not get distracted with the billboards. If there is any kind of distraction, then it may lead to some hazardous effects and results.
Billboard Advertising- A Perfect Way to Advertise
Billboard advertising is a powerful marketing tool for advertisers to capture the attention of the masses with exciting and impact visual that carry out a brand's strategic platform, build product awareness, aid in product launches, relay corporate messages.
Businesses are always looking for the ways to hold the interest and attention of their target audiences, increase sales, enhance brand value and brand recognition, update the public about their latest and upcoming products/services/launches, etc. There are many different ways in which businesses to reach the target clients, and Billboard advertising, is one of them. It is also known as outdoor advertising; this is advertising that is done outside the home of customers, as opposed to advertising that is targeted at them in their homes. It is one of the oldest forms of advertising and still one of the most fruitful and profitable methods.

Lawyers for the United Steelworkers union said Wednesday they will not oppose the plan, which will see the steelmaker's American parent provide a $185-million "debtor-in-possession" loan to keep its Canadian arm running through next year.
Others, including the Ontario government, had objected to an earlier version of the proposal but now agree not to oppose the amended plan.
"Today's resolution helps to stabilize the company during the restructuring process and continues to protect the interests of employees, pensioners and the province," Ontario Finance Minister Charles Sousa said in a statement.
"The province will continue to work with the parties involved throughout the restructuring to find solutions that are fair and equitable to all those affected."
U.S. Steel's lawyer told the court that the arrangement is in everyone's best interest.
The company said in a statement the deal will allow it to continue to meet its obligations to employees and suppliers as well as provide payments for pensions and benefits to retirees while it develops and implements a comprehensive restructuring solution under a process governed by the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act, or CCAA.
U.S. Steel Canada, with operations at Lake Erie Works and Hamilton Works, has the capability of producing approximately 2.6 million tons of steel annually.
It employs about 2,000 people and has thousands of retired employees.

Situational Assessment
What is a situational assessment?
A situational assessment involves the gathering and analysis of metrics. Metrics provide baseline data, or an initial profile of an organization that can be used by the wellness committee to develop a comprehensive workplace health plan. To obtain a comprehensive profile of the organization, assess a variety of elements including the workplace environment, the organizational culture, and the individual health of employees.
- Identification of employee and organizational needs
- Justification for programming and financial support
- Employee engagement to encourage commitment
- Collection of baseline data to compare results and evaluate new health programs and activities
Obtain data from various sources and tools (e.g. employee interest surveys, organization audits, etc). Your human resources department is a great source to obtain many types of data including some examples listed below. Other influences can impact human resource data and employee health such as company layoffs, and environmental hazards. Therefore, find out your employees' needs, attitudes, and preferences. Assess information collected over the long-term, and remember it is only an estimate. Comparison against other industries is also helpful.
Suggested metrics to collect:
- Demographics (e.g. sex, age, education, ethnicity, language, etc.)
- Aggregate report of employee health risk appraisals
- Employee satisfaction
- Retention/turnover rate
- Health care claims
- Benefits usage
- Absenteeism records
- WSIB claims
- STD and LTD injury and illness records
- Health and safety concerns
- Grievance records
- Productivity
- Employee assistance program referrals
NOTE: Develop a plan for periodic metrics collection and assessment. Periodic assessments every few years will provide a more accurate long-term picture of the workplace's health and the impact of strategies.
Surveys as data collection tools
Surveys are simple, easy to administer, and will assist you before designing a new program or policy. They should have a response rate of over 50 percent. Conduct focus groups to supplement surveys and provide richer data.
Survey employees with:
- Full-length survey (can be confidential)
- Open one-to-one interviews
- Mini surveys
- Suggestion boxes placed around the organization
- Luncheon round table meetings
- Informal email questionnaire
- Surveys included with pay cheque stubs
- Online surveys on your organization's intranet site
- Identify indicators that will show that the objectives have been met
- Identify methods for data collection that will accurately reflect the status of the organization. Accurate data depends upon the degree of feedback
- Assign responsibility for data collection and reporting
- Select a method(s) for collecting employee health information. Consider how you will ensure that the information collected is representative of your organization (e.g. department, age, cultural background)
- Also, consider how to include "hard to reach" groups (e.g. employees with different literacy levels)
- Explore how to best capture participant response. Ensure confidentiality will be addressed appropriately. Consider incentives to encourage employee participation. A covering letter showing endorsement from key stakeholders, reasons for data collection, and how the results will be communicated is helpful. Establish a time frame for the assessment that includes reminders for its completion
- Develop an ongoing data collection plan
- The most appropriate time for data collection has been determined e.g. does not conflict with holidays, workplace events, etc.
- Hard to reach populations have been identified and appropriate strategies to obtain their input have been determined
- Letters of support from key stakeholders have been obtained
- Current programming and gaps have been identified
- Incentives for participation have been determined
- An acceptable level of respondents has been determined e.g. 50% response rate
- The data obtained represents an adequate cross section of the organization
- Baseline data has been gathered from human resources
- A plan for periodic data collection has been developed

Fleshlight review wonderwave
The Super Tight appeals to the men seeking realism. But we opted not to go there that night. The poor fleshlight review wonderwave wanker served a four-month jail sentence. I had to say what percentage of my jerking off is done with the Fleshlight Id say probably 25 to 30 percent is Fleshlight because you know, I do things quickly. This thing fleshlight review wonderwave does not let you down. Whose idea was it to fleshlight review wonderwave come up with the Fleshlight. The great thing about going to a strip club with fleshlight review wonderwave men and women is that you get some sweet discounts. I highly recommend to order mocca – I think this one is fabulous. Fleshlight because it was a flashlight, flesh the skin. Get it while you can as this Fleshlight is going fast. Each Fleshlight also includes an original labeled Fleshlight Case. Nothing evokes more horror and fear than a woman being powerful around her sexuality, Sylvest, a lawyer, says in an interview at the Commercial Drive store. I walked in and told them what I wanted. It hugs nicely, but stroking into it does not meet with any resistance fleshlight review wonderwave except for the vulvas entrance. Its a real fleshlight review wonderwave quick fix. The STU is tighter, more intensely pleasurable, and just as discreet as the original Fleshlight, and comes in a visually stunning, realistic skin tone.

Sony Xperia Z rides it's stunning looks and rather successful water resistant body which is also dust proof. Samsung's Galaxy S4 is a complete package. You got tons of features with a beast powering all the processes. Both these phones are frontline battleships to take market share, so it was mandatory to tell you which is the better phone. Sony Xperia Z vs Samsung Galaxy S4.
I love the way Sony Xperia Z looks with its straight cut rectangular design. The built quality is just so much more amazing. The glass feels really nice in your hands but a little difficult to hold. Samsung Galaxy S4 has a nice and smooth polycarbonate built. The overall design is plain and boring. Sony Xperia Z's zero gap design gives that water resistant quality. Design- Sony Xperia Z.
Both these phones come with 5.0 inch 1080p full HD Display. Obviously they also share the same 441ppi pixel density. So we step up and consider the GPU. Frankly overall the motion in gamaing and video playback looked much better on the Sony Xperia Z but Samsung just has a more intelligent display. It has smart stay and smart pause that helps you in many ways with the display. The Samsung Galaxy S4 is no less in playing full HD videos and showing great graphics in games. Display- Samsung Galaxy S4.
Sony Xperia Z has a 13.1M sensor to be precise and Samsung Galaxy S4 has a 13MP sensor. Samsung Galaxy S4 takes better photos in everyway, normal lighting or low light. S4 takes better pictures in a way that they are closer to real colour tone than Xperia Z, it has a better saturation level too. The camera interface and what it offers is just the best on Samsung Galaxy S4, there is no doubt about it. Sony Xperia Z has been beaten up pretty bad here. Camera- Samsung Galaxy S4.
Samsung Galaxy S4 comes with tons of features and built in apps that work really well. Group play can play the same song using all the speakers on surrounding S4's. it is pretty cool. Smart Pause will pause the video when you are not looking at the display. Smart Stay will illuminate the display till you are looking at it. Air Gesture and Air view makes less sense to me. Sony Xperia Z on the other hand is a phone too small to be compared against Samsung Galaxy S4 on this front. Both run on the Android v4.2.2 Jelly Bean but Samsung's touchwiz takes it all. Software- Samsung Galaxy S4.
Sony Xperia Z comes with a much slower processor compared to Samsung Galaxy S4, Xperia Z has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 1.5GHz Quad Core processor whereas S4 has a better optimized Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 1.7GHz processor. Both have 2GB of RAM but clearly when you use it for gaming and simple multitasking the S4 is much faster and benchmark scores reveal the same. Both have NFC and come with expandable memory. Performance- Samsung Galaxy S4.
Final Verdict
Sorry to Xperia Z fans but your phone just looks better, rest all the GS4 kills the Sony Xperia Z. It is much faster, it has a better camera and well it is just a smarter phone no doubt about it. There is not much to say here. Sony Xperia Z vs Samsung Galaxy S4- Samsung Galaxy S4 wins.

I use for years Pismo and it is an absolutely fabulous tools, powerful and very light (4MB!)
I just regret that the virtual-mount feature has disappeared.
So, I use version 1.73 to mount ISOs on a server and I share all this on the network for my installations.
Indeed with the new versions of Pismo, the creation of a symbolic link does not allow access to the content of the monted ISO via a shared network access. A junction don't work too.
I need to keep my directory structure when I mount and share the ISO. (C: \ Volumes\… is not possible for that)
So I do not have the choice and actualy I must use version 1.73 on my server. Can you reenable this functionality ?
But today to go further in what I do, I need to use the cool feature of Privates Folder from the environments Microsoft WAIK, ADK (WinPE x86 & x64)
But I can not install or run Pismo (pfm mount) in theses environments.
Would it be possible to support a version of Pismo on this environment (I do not need the version 1.73 in particular) ?
If not please give me more informations about the windows dll you use and the operations performed by the setup during the installation.
I scanned the log file, but failed to replicate for make everything work properly.
For example, I have a problem loading / launching the pfmfs_190.sys / inf module which is very important.
For the rest a regsvr32 dll work properly and I can create a new PFO file from WinPE, but I can't mount it to access and write on it.
I have to use it from the WinPE client machine for security reasons.
Thank you for your help and your response

For installing PFM to headless Windows installs: Try the PFM test package instead of the audit package.
pfm-190-testing-win.exe -h
pfm-190-testing-win.exe install
You can share mounted ISOs with current PFM builds, no need to use build 173:
pfm mount -l c:\shared\somecontainer.iso
mklink /j c:\shared\somecontainer c:\volumes\somecontainer.iso
The virtual mount point functionality is not coming back. It was dropped to increase compatibility with 3rd party system extensions (anti-virus, undelete, encryption, cloud storage) and to increase compatibility with the increasing number of "symlink aware" applications that have come since Vista was released in 2007 (such as explorer).2018-03-12 at 02:11
Thank you very much for your reply.
When I launch pfm-191-testing-win.exe install I have these errors :
ERROR: License file "X:\Windows\Temp\pfm-191-testing-win-XYZ…\pfm-license-*.txt" is missing.
ERROR: Core install failed.
In "X:\Windows\Temp\pfm-191-testing-win-XYZ…" the license file "pfm-license-testing.txt" exist.
I have try with the build 190 and I have the same error
Thank you for your help and your response

I just ran the test package install successfully on a windows 10 and a windows 8.1 system from an administrator cmd prompt. I assume you are seeing this install error only on Windows PE.2018-03-12 at 09:14
Yes absolutely
Can you help me to work in the Winpe environment please or add this environment in a next release ?

Could you please answer me ?

I have noted the issue. I don't expect I will add support for the PE environment any time soon, but if some business case arises then maybe.2018-04-10 at 02:36

A20 - Descolonização Afro-Asiática
(HG 197) KEYLOR, William. The Twentieth-Century World. Cap. 14
In 1945 only 4 Abrican states belonged to the newly established United Nations: Ecypt, South Africa, Liberia and Ethiopia. By the end of 1960, 25 new nations on the continent of Africa had joined the world organization, representing a quarter of its membership.
In 1963, representatives of the new African countries assembled in Addis Ababa, Ehiopia, to found the Organization of African Union, inspired by the ideology of Pan-Africanism, popularized by Kwame Nkrumah, charismatic leader of Ghana.
1. To prevent territorial conflicts between rival African nations, as well as civil strife between antagonistic groups within each nation. Absolute inviolability of the political frontiers that had been inherited from the colonial era.
2. Political unifications
3. Neutrality in the Cold War
4. Continentwide program of economic development on a massive scale
In light of Africa´s desperate need for foreign investments, loans, aid trade, technology and technical expertise, ruling elites of the newly independent African states opted for membership in, rather than withdrawal from, the international economic order that alone could satisfy those requirements. Consequently, postcolonial Africa promptly established strong links with the international monetary and trading system represented by such organizations as GATT, the IMF and the World Bank.
NEOIMPERIALISM = the retention by the former imperial powers of indirect control over their erstwhile colonies through the exercise of economic, political and military influence.
At the time of the establishment of the European Economic Community in 1957, France had insisted on the inclusion in the Treaty of Rome of provisions preserving preferential trade terms for, and special financial relationships with, the overseas dependencies of member states. With Great Britain outside the EEC at the time, this meant that, with the advent of decolonization in the early 60´s the majority of benefited were erstwhile French colonies.
The FIRST YAOUNDÉ CONVENTION of 1963 (which remained in force from 1964 to 1969) set up a European Development Fund of $800, subsequently increased to $1 billion in the SECOND YAOUNDÉ ACCORD of 1969 (which operated during the period 1970-75). The vast bulk of EDF funds were earmarked for the purchase of manufactured products from Europe while the Africans had to import grain from EEC countries at prices well above the going rate on world markets.
To complement this intimate trading relationship, a strong financial connection between France and her former African possessions was forged in the form of the FRANC ZONE, a monetary association that tied the currencies of most sub-Saharan francophone African states (collectively designated as the African Financial Community franc) to the French franc. The franc zone in effect established a common monetary system through the mechanism of free convertibility at fixed parity. This arrangement created an open channel through which French capital could flow in and aout of the African countries without encountering the risks of exchange-rate instability or prohibitions against the repatriation of profits; this open invitation to French investors (at the expense of foreign competitors) yielded impressive results in French client states such as Senegal and the Ivory Coast.
Great Britain demanded similar protection as it belatedly gained admission in EEC in 1972. A lengthy negotiation resulted in the FIRST LOMÉ CONVENTION of 1975, which established the concept of preferential trade between the community and a newly established bloc of former European colonies designated as the Association of African Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP). All ACP manufactured products and 96% of ACP commodity exports were admitted duty-free in EEC. The most advantageous feature of LOMÉ I from a African perspective was the creation of a commodity stabilization fund (STABEX).
The SECOND LOMÉ CONVENTION of 1980 encountered widespread opposition in Africa. By promoting the export of African commodities in exchange for European manufactures as the basis of Africa´s foreign trade, the EURAFRICAN NEXUS discouraged the process of product and market diversification that had paved the way for the economic success of the newly industrializing countries (NICs) of East Asia.
Deep recession in the 70´s devastated the economies of all African nations but those with petroleum reserves (such as Algeria, Nigeria, Libya, Gabon, Congo and Cameron) or diversified economies (such as Senegal and South Africa). Africa´s foreign debt soared from $14 billion in 1973 to $42 billion in 1976. The consequence was negative economic growth for most of the non-oil-exporting states.
The Soviet Union´s intervention in Africa, either directly or through its Cuban ally, confirmed in the minds of American strategic thinkers that country´s transformation from a Eurasian land power to a global power with worldwide air and naval capabilities. But the Soviet-American competition in Africa that had emerged so unexpectedly during the second half of the seventies proved to be short-lived because of Moscow´s inability to supplement its military aid with much in the way of economic support (such as trade, loans, and investments). Thus the Western bloc, due to its dominant position in the international economic system from which Africa could not, or would not, shake free, continued to exercise the dominant external influence on the continent throughout the 1980´s.

It was sundown in a mostly deserted parking lot tucked off Westminster Boulevard. The skateboarders had stopped, as they do every Thursday, to listen to the man with the Bible.
A single lamppost shone over the makeshift skate park, where ramps and wooden ledges sporting the words Gravity Youth covered the parking spaces. Two dozen or so skateboards littered the ground as their riders sat on the curb. Above them, Aaron Morgan held the book open on his left hand and asked how many people had come for the first time.
One hand shot up.
"All right, guys," Morgan said. "This is skate church, so whether you like it or not, I'm going to preach the word of God to you."
A stack of pizza boxes sat at the end of the curb, but Morgan made it clear they wouldn't be opened until he finished speaking. As the sky went from hazy to dark, Morgan, the youth leader at the Sanctuary in Westminster, held forth about hypocrisy, free will, Jesus' sacrifice and the perils of apathy.

Right now, I'm writing a piece about my overdose with the hope to get it published and seen. As I write it, I've been swinging between concise, conscious writing, and just allowing myself to free-write all over the page, because I can't seem to stop myself. It's a bit fucking annoying, but I also feel like it's part of the process. Talking with a friend last night she said to just let it happen – let the words spill out if they need to. This Is Writing. I realise that hours and hours can so often go into writing just one thing, but I just want it to be concise and easier! I just want to have my words all neatly packed in paragraphs so I don't have to fucking sort through them afterwards to edit and filter what I want.
But I think I realise this isn't me, nor will it ever be me. I'm not entirely sure why I thought it would be any different this time round. When I think back to uni, and any other piece I've written, I've exploded thousands of words onto the page and only used half of them, or less. Part of me does neat and tidy, concise and 'together', but the other parts of me Do. Not. And that's creativity.
Anyway, as I was writing just a moment ago, I was in a phase of spilling the words out onto the screen – them hitting the blank page before I realise what they say – and I found myself writing this:
"It's a place that I think I needed to visit to know it wasn't for me. I think it's a place I needed to visit to know it wasn't for me."
I had to write it twice because it blew my mind. I was referring to my overdose, and I was referring to that time in my life. I spend so much in time in total fear and terror that it's going to happen again. Not because I want it, but because it's trauma. And trauma can make you feel deluded to the truth, and make you feel terrified that it's going to happen again. It's not a case of rationality or reason, it's a case of terror and a lack of sense of freedom. So when I wrote that just now, it almost made me cry. Instead I found myself sat with a gaping mouth at the screen… maybe this is really true. Maybe it won't happen again, maybe it was somewhere I needed to go to know that it wasn't me.
To know that time in my life was perhaps a place I needed to go to find the deepest, darkest medicine that I could ever get. To know suicide is not for me. To know that following the path of my mother wasn't, and isn't, for me either. To know that I am who I am today because of what happened, and everything else too. To know that my fear of it happening again, is just a fear. It really was just a stage, a time, a chapter, a nugget of sea salt in this entire ocean of my life blows me away. But I think I really knew that. I think I always have. I think I've always known that I won't go back there again, but the fear of really giving myself that feels greater than living with the fear and the hypervigilance that it might…because that's known ground – the confidence is wayyyyy foreign territory.
As I heal though, and as I type this, I find myself frowning at the screen…do I really feel that? I really do… and that shows me I'm healing because these norms and these levels of thinking or ways I've believed I need to live in, aren't truth anymore. I'm discovering newer and healthier ways of being that are relevant and are real. Like living with trust – for myself and for my life, and for the universe around me.
That's nice. I'm off to eat some food and – temporarily – drag me out of this writing stuper I'm in. It's not a bad one, but sometimes I feel like I realise things that literally blow my mind out of my room and into next door's garden…I think that just happened with what I wrote about, so I best go find it and celebrate.

Facial Cosmetic Surgery By Dr. Sean Doherty
A face is the first thing people see when they meet you. Dr. Sean Doherty offers such plastic surgery procedures as facelift, and brow lift, all designed to give a patient a youthful, proportionate face.
Facelift To Improve Neck Contour
Patients who have a droopy chin and neck due to the presence of excess skin may wish to undergo a combined neck and facelift. Through a single surgical procedure, Boston plastic surgeon Sean Doherty can achieve dramatic improvements in neck contour, jaw line definition, and facial firmness.
Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
Because they are the natural focal point of your face, your eyes are considered the best representation of you and your personality. As you age, sagging upper eyelids and baggy lower lids can make you appear tired, sad, and older than your true age. For some people, excess skin can even impair vision. Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to lift droopy eyelids and remove excess skin around the eyes, resulting in eyes that look fresh, well-rested, and alert.
The Eyelid Surgery Procedure
Dr. Doherty will examine your eyes in a consultation prior to your surgery to determine the extent of surgery needed and the best technique to use.
Upper eyelids are treated through an incision that is made in the natural crease above the eye. Dr. Doherty removes the excess skin and fatty tissue before closing the incision. Since the incision is located inconspicuously, the scar is very hard to detect once healed.
If you need your lower eyelids corrected, Dr. Doherty will make an incision just below the lower eyelashes. Special adjustments may also be made at this point. For example, the fat beneath the eye can be redistributed to eliminate puffiness, bulges, or to improve the semicircular hollowing seen beneath the eye; in some patients, the underlying muscle will be tightened.
Dr. Doherty may decide that the best approach for removing fat from the lower eyelid is with a transconjunctival blepharoplasty. In this procedure, an incision is placed inside the lower eyelid. This technique requires no external incisions, but it cannot be used to remove excess skin. Patients may elect to have their eyelid surgery combined with a facelift or brow lift to maximize the rejuvenating effect.
To find out if plastic surgery such as blepharoplasty, facelift, or Thread Lift is right for you is to contact Sean Doherty, MD. During your one-on-one consultation with Dr. Doherty, he will answer your questions and help you decide on an appropriate surgical plan.
Please contact Sean Doherty, MD to schedule a consultation about chin surgery.

The Wall Live 2011-2013 immersion box set wish list
With the lack of news about the Wall DVD I suspect that it may not come out until next years round of shows is finished. With that in mind I hope there may be a Immersion type box set and wondered what people on here would like to see included. My wish list is below:
All video material to be made available on DVD or Blu-Ray (And given the choice to buy what format you require)
Both an indoor arena and outdoor stadium show to be included in the package.
A choice of camera angles so you can watch the show from where ever you would like (or were seated)
A CD set of one of the shows (preferably a different show from the ones on video)All audio material available as HD on DVD/Blu-Ray (as the immersion box sets) and an SACD CD (as the Genesis box sets)All audio material being available as various quality downloads (320kb mp3, apple audio. and Flac)
A double vinyl record set of the CD
A box big enough to hold the vinyl albums (original immersion set producers take note)
A decent hard backed book detailing the development of the show, with lots of pictures! (original Shine On box set style or even better like the one in the excellent Peter Gabriel So 25th Anniversarry box set)
A video disc of extras including the videos projected on the wall/screen
And finally the 'holy grail' the original Earls Court film, come on Roger we know it exists!
If all the above could be available in a box set I am sure with the numbers of folk who have already and will see the show it would be a best seller, They could also be made available seperatlly to those who couldn't justify spending the considerable amount that a box set would cost, might even be able to make it a build it your self box set.
Also if we do not have the scarves, coasters, marbles, replicas tickets and passes I am sure they will not be missed, but a replica programme for a distant country might be nice
floydfan101 December 2012 PermalinkWhat would really be cool - and I mean really cool. Film a concert in 3D and a then add Computer Graphic 3D affects - floating pigs - planes-images - etc. Then show in 3D equipped theaters - main stream or midnight shows. It would be a hit. It would be great for markets that have seen the concerts and even better in ones that didn't. College towns would be great. After a time release for Home 3D Blu-Ray. What do you think Roger?
PatrickinHouston December 2012 PermalinkThere's a really good version online...mutiple angles, decent sound, not a cell phone/youtube production.
churchmiles September 2013 PermalinkHope it comes out soon because i am an impatient bugger.
voodoochild1975 September 2013 Permalink2 things on your wish list I don't think you will get;Vinyl - No vinyl included in any of the immersion sets so far. Only available separately. That said, I think they have one helluva vinyl mastering team right now with Guthrie and Sax, so as long as those 2 are in the fold, now is a GREAT time for Floyd/Waters/Gilmour to be issuing vinyl. So I do hope if this show finds it's way onto vinyl somehow....Multiple Camera Angles - This requires multiple cameras during during the show filming, unless they decided to shoot with a few dozen cameras instead of the usual 2 or 3,, don't hold your breath for this either, nice idea, just doubt anyone will ever do it. On the few DVDs I have that have alternate angles, I don't think I have ever seen a second alternate, let alone 'where in the stadium were you sitting?' Also remember each additional camera angle multiplies the space requirement for the video. 4 alternate angles takes up 4x as much video space. To do what you are describing, each DVD or Blu Ray disk would be 10 minutes long because of the space constraint. I love the idea, I just don't see it ever happening on a concert video, my understanding is that it isn't feasible at all..
Howdy, Stranger!

Yaritza Oliva developed the condition earlier this month, and now bleeds from her eyes several times a day.
Miss Oliva, who lives in Purranque, Chile, said that the pain is 'indescribable'. When she visited the doctor no infection was found so she was sent home with eye drops.
Some experts have suggested that Miss Oliva has a condition called haemolacria. The rare condition causes sufferers to cry tears of blood.
Haemolacria can indicate a more serious illness, such as a tumour and can be caused by high levels of hormones in women.

As with other forms of litigation, most of the work of building a defense against medical malpractice charges takes place well before the day trial is scheduled to begin. For instance, pretrial depositions can uncover key testimony by doctors, hospital staff and other witnesses to the alleged malpractice. In some cases, it can lead to the charges being dropped or quickly settled, when it becomes clear the plaintiff's claims will be very difficult to prove to a judge or jury.
A deposition is a formal questioning of a witness by attorneys for all parties to the lawsuit. The questions and answers are on the record, and answers are given under oath, so anything you say in a deposition could wind up as evidence. So it is smart to prepare with your attorney beforehand, and to follow these tips:
- Be prepared. Besides having your attorney explain the process to you, you will want to review relevant documents before your deposition, so the facts are fresh in your mind.
- Be honest. As we said above, witnesses are placed under oath. It may be tempting to try to lie or avoid answering sensitive questions, but this conduct could be used against you in court to undermine your credibility. Usually, it's best to answer questions honestly, without volunteering any more information than is necessary.
- Have your lawyer with you. Whether you are a party to the lawsuit, or simply a witness, you have the right to have an attorney present.
When fighting a medical malpractice suit, a strong legal strategy could include scheduling depositions with all relevant parties, so that their testimony can get on the record.

Last summer, I started coloring. I bought one coloring book and I took out my old set of Prismacolor pens from high school (yes, they are 35 years old and they have survived 9 moves!). I love playing with colors and filling a whole page with brightness made me happy. After a few weeks, I started asking myself whether I should be doing my own drawing instead of just coloring someone else's designs. And I looked for some art classes focusing on drawing. Surprisingly, I did not find that much of interest on the Internet in the Montreal area, but there was a little studio that had some sessions that sounded fairly unstructured less than 10 minutes from my house. And yes, I could learn the basics of drawing there. So I started on the basics of classical drawing, learning about perspective and tone (and tone was a challenge because I was drawing everything way to pale).
While I was doing that I kept looking for examples on the Internet to try to determine where I really wanted to go with that learning and I stumbled upon the work on urban sketchers… Wow! That was inspiring! Powerful or whimsical, sometimes colorful, always full of movement and emotion. Now that was something I wanted to do. I particularly liked the work of a woman from Manchester, England called Liz Ackerley. But I thought it would take me months, if not years to draw well enough and to master some medium well enough to do urban sketching.
In November, at the Montreal Book Fair, I met Raynald Murphy, a local watercolor artist, who had published a book showing some aspects of many of the metro stations in Montreal (https://www.heuresbleues.com/murphy. I bought the book and as he signed it (and made me a drawing on the spot), we had a short conversation about my interesting in drawing and in urban sketching. He told me about the Facebook page of the urban sketchers in Montreal and about the monthly meetings they had to do some sketching together and share their work.
At that point, I still thought that going to one of the urban sketchers meeting was well beyond my ability. So I bought a bunch of books (they are always a part of any learning journey I embark on!). So far, there is only one I have read thoroughly. I skim through the others and look at drawings and read snippets of text regularly. There are many things I want to try and practice. I have tried new markers and even bought a watercolor set… which I had yet to try! I feel very intimidated by watercolor, but I do love the line-and-wash technique that many urban sketchers use. I still do most of my drawings with graphite pencils.
By the time January rolled around though, I was ready to give the urban sketchers meeting a try and I joined them for the January 27 outing to the Pointe-à-Callière museum. I missed the February meeting because I was in France, but I attended the March 27 meeting held at the Redpath Museum at McGill University. I think that will become my priority on the fourth Sunday of each month.
The books will help with making some progress, as well as practicing by copying pictures or images from the TV or movies (where I get a bit of break by stopping movement!). There are other books out there but I think that my little collection will provide many hours of enjoyment and stimulation. All five books are full of examples and useful tips.
Many thanks to Raynald, who also became my Facebook friend, for telling me how to get in touch with the urban sketchers, and to the group members who are so warm and friendly and who make the Sunday outings quite an experience. As for so many things, one can only learn and progress by practicing and trying again, even if in between the gorgeous drawings there are many shitty ones, and by getting feedback and tips from others and keeping an open mind as well as wide-open eyes!
I still have a long way to go to reach the level of proficiency I aspire to, but I think that this journey is just as important as the objective.

Radiometric Dating Of Three Large Volume Flank Collapses In The Lesser Antilles Arc
From Open Energy Information
OpenEI Reference LibraryAdd to library
Journal Article: Radiometric Dating Of Three Large Volume Flank Collapses In The Lesser Antilles Arc
AbstractIt is now recognised that flank collapses are a recurrent process in the evolution of the Lesser Antilles Arc volcanoes. Large magnitude debris-avalanche deposits have been identified off the coast of Dominica, Martinique and St. Lucia, with associated volumes up to 20 km3 (Deplus, C., Le Friant, A., Boudon, G., Komorowski, J.-C., Villemant, B., Harford, C., Segoufin, J., Cheminee, J.-L., 2001. Submarine evidence for large-scale debris avalanches in the Lesser Antilles Arc. Earth Planet. Sci. Lett., 192: 145-157.). We present new radiometric dating of three major events using the K-Ar Cassignol-Gillot technique. In the Qualibou depression of St. Lucia, a collapse has been constrained by dome emplacement prior to 95 ± 2 ka. In Dominica, where repetitive flank collapse events have occurred (Le Friant, A., Boudon, G., Komorowski, J.-C., Deplus, C., 2002. L'ile de la Dominique, a l'origine des avalanches de debris les plus volumineuses de l'arc des Petites Antilles. C.R. Geoscience, 334: 235-243), the Plat Pays event probably occurred after 96 ± 2 ka. Inside the depression caused by this event, Scotts Head, which is interpreted as a proximal megabloc from the subsequent Soufriere avalanche event has been dated at 14 ± 1 ka, providing an older bound for this event. On Martinique three different domes within the Carbets structure dated at 337 ± 5 ka constrain the age of this high magnitude event. Finally, these results obtained from three of the most voluminous flank collapses provide constraints to estimate the recurrence of these events, which represent one of the major hazards associated with volcanoes of the Lesser Antilles Arc.

Not Me, but I was about to ask this: Does the notion of making a non-documentary hold any interest to you?
KD: I did write a film that was produced that which was called Guy, starring Vincent D'onfrio and Hope Davis. I don't know if you can get it (I found a copy and will be reviewing it soon). It was actually quite a good film. Back in 1996 it played at Venice. It apparently got deep-sixed by somebody within, it was Polygram at the time which was subsequently acquired by Universal. But I think it was deep-sixed by an exec in there. But it dealt with documentary filmmakers. It was about a woman who followed a man around with a video camera. She was somewhere between kind of a performance artist, stalker, documentary filmmaker. It was all about all kinds of issues, but20certainly one was about documentary subject relationships. I personally feel, while there are a lot of wonderful dramatic films being made, maybe I am going out on a limb here, the medium of dramatic filmmaking is in decline. I really going to go out on a limb here and I think a lot of the energy is getting sucked into the internet. I think documentary, look at Youtube, it's still alive on the internet. And of course, to some degree, dramatic filmmaking. I suspect, and I'm sort of guessing here, you are going to see, I think you are going to see and maybe already seeing dramatic filmmaking being — I have two children, one is 22 and one is 19. They are different but going to a high school my daughter would see many films. My son it just wasn't an issue. It was just a complete change, so it's one example, but we'll see.

"TRUMP APPEARS TO BE OBSESSED with people who embody choice," said Masha Gessen in her New York Public Library talk on the night of December 18, pointing to his administration's preoccupation with immigrants and transgender people, among others. Even their representation in words can seem threatening: Why else would his administration ban the Centers for Disease Control from mentioning fetuses, diversity, and the transgender community?
Gessen embraces choices, seeing them as "adventures." Her Robert B. Silvers lecture, "The Stories of a Life," recounted the ways in which decisions, both those offered to her and denied of her, have shaped her existence. Fittingly, a last-minute move to change her speech defined the evening. Prior to the event, Paul Holdengräber, director of LIVE from the NYPL, asked Gessen for the seven words that best describe her. Gessen wasn't satisfied by her first response"Outliner. Moscow, New York, Moscow, New York"so she sent a follow-up e-mail with a second set: "Fetus, transgender, diversity, vulnerable, entitled, evidence-based, science-based." Gessen stayed true to her original set of words by structuring her talk around the seven words that are not to appear on CDC reports.
Most of the words on the list may seem to be the opposite of choice: By now, the majority of the American population seems to understand that we're born this way. Indeed, Gessen noted that the "rhetoric of choicelessness that the LGBT movement had been using to great effect . . . had gotten people access to such institutions as the military and marriage." But Gessen sees empowerment in creating choices where none are typically available, such as her decision to undergo a mastectomy when she learned that she carried the gene for the cancer that killed her mother, or when she returned to the US after a decade in Russia, under threat of losing her children.
Some of the most important events in Gessen's life have been the result of choices she did not have, while others were from discovering options that she didn't realize existed. Upon returning to the US, Gessen found that many of her friends had transitioned, something she was surprised to find that she felt jealous of. "I, too, had always felt like a boy," she remembered. "I had learned to be a woman, whatever that means. I'd succeeded, but still, there I was faced with the possibility that in the parallel life . . . I would have transitioned." She began taking a low dose of testosterone. "True gender, whatever that means, didn't have much to do with it, but choice did," she explained. "Somehow I had missed the fact that it was there."
A person, in Gessen's view, "is a sequence of choices. The question is, will your next choice be conscious, and will your ability to make it be unfettered?" Under the current administration, Gessen believes that the "insistence on making a choice . . . is the only possible avenue of resistance." Toward the end of her lecture, she imparted a lesson from Soviet dissidents: "If you have the choice between going to prison and leaving the country, you should always leave the country. There's nothing heroic about placing yourself in a position where you will not be able to act."

The opening theme used for the anime series is "Ashita no Kioku" (明日の記憶?) by Naozumi Takahashi and the ending theme is "Shinikirou" (蜃気楼?, / 신기루) by the South Korean rock group Loveholic. At the end of the final episode, the last few frames depict Kotaro appearing and running to Jiro, unlike the previous runs where there was no one but Jiro at the end.

Haydn was at the peak of his compositional powers when he wrote the six Op. 76 quartets in the mid-1790s. Like his late masterpiece The Creation, the Op. 76 quartets are notably adventurous in their thematic material, harmony, texture, and timbre. The D-Minor Quartet takes its nickname, and much of its outgoing character, from the boldly striding open fifths played by the first violin at the beginning of the work.
The latest string quartet by Australian composer Carl Vine echoes the playful exuberance that characterizes much of Haydn's music. Each of the work's five movements evokes a different activity associated with childhood, a stage of life that Vine sees as imbued with "a sense of fun and limitless potential."
The second of Mendelssohn's two string quintets dates from 1845, two years before the composer's untimely death. Posthumously published in 1851, the Quintet in B-flat Major blends youthful exuberance and mature passion. Only the comparatively short-winded finale—which Mendelssohn intended to revise but never did—leaves the listener hungry for more.
