Sons Of Cuba
Andrew Lang
UK 2009, 58min
Sons of Cuba is set in the legendary Havana City Boxing Academy, a boarding school that hand picks nineyear – old boys, and turns them into the best boxers in the world. The boys' duties extend beyond the ring: they are groomed not only as world-class fighters, but also to be international symbols for their country, dubbed by Castro: "the standard-bearers of the Revolution". The documentary follows the stories of three young hopefuls through eight dramatic months of training and schooling as they prepare for the biggest event of their lives: Cuba's National Boxing Championship for Under-12's.
The Havana City Boxing Academy is home to Cristian (a natural boxing talent), Junior (former ballet dancer turned compassionate boxer), and Santos (musician and lover of pastries who struggles to keep his fighting weight). These three are among a group of 25 working-class boys aged between nine and 11, chosen from hundreds of young hopefuls to attend this weekly boarding school. The state pays for their accommodation, training and lodging, and through a strict training regime, starts them on the road to becoming the best boxers in the world. If they stick at it they have a good chance of making it to the top. In Sons of Cuba, by British filmmaker Andrew Lang, we follow the struggles of these boys, both in and out of the ring.
Is the film a portrait of sacrifice, social hardship and political indoctrination? Or is it about a country full of love and passion and the rewards of dedication to the cause, be that sport or communism? It will depend on your viewpoint before going in, but it is probably a mixture of the two.
Up every day at 4 am for two hours of intense training before school and more training afterwards, home only at weekends, we follow 'our team' in the months preceding the under-12s National Championships. The sheer physical fitness and talent of these boys is enough to fill any lazy film viewer with awe, but it is their charm and their dedication to their families and to each other that really blows one away. The respect and love given in all directions – from coach Yosvani to the boys in his charge, from the boys to their mothers, between the boys, and even between the rival coaches – is often powerful enough to induce tears, both on screen and off. Tears flow too from hunger, from bloody noses, from sore heads and most of all at the disappointment of not making the final team of ten that go to the Championships. The emotional highs and lows, the beauty of the boys and the cinematography, the inevitable final boxing match with parents, teammates and coach cheering along, all make this more of a drama – with a political element – than a boxing documentary might initially suggest.
Shot in 2006, Fidel Castro is still in power as the film begins, and it opens with his words: "The revolution must concentrate on sport. It is of the outmost importance. Youngsters will be selected from the masses and given the best possible training. On the front line of sport the Revolution will advance." Sport has always been Castro's passion: he watches it so avidly, he admits, that he sometimes forgets to take his medication. He visits training camps and sports schools, and spends time with successful sportsmen and women. He established the grand International School of Sports and Physical Education, presently with 1500 students from developing countries and Cuba, all studying for free. Cuban high-performance athletes can receive free tuition to become professors of sports. This is how Yosvani, the boy's coach, learnt his trade, while many others now work in developing countries in the same way as the more wellknown Cuban doctors. At the last Olympics, eight countries had Cuban trainers for their boxing teams.
Since 1990, the Cuban government has spent more than $80 million per year on Olympic sport. In one of his speeches, Castro summed up the results of this investment: "What has Cuba's role been in the Olympic Games? What has it achieved? What has been the fruit of our efforts to promote healthy clean sports? At the 1972 Olympics, we finished 14th among 122 countries. In 1980, in Moscow we finished 4th among 81 countries; in 1992, and in Atlanta, in 1996 we finished 8th among 197 countries. Could anyone refute these figures?" In the most recent Games, Cuba obtained a total of 24 medals – a higher number than any other country in Latin America and the Caribbean.
There is of course a problem: this success has now become a route to freedom and riches through defection – with professional status abroad, large amounts of money can be earned. This happens because Cuba remains the only country in the world where professional sport is not practised (although it is subsidised). During the shooting of Sons of Cuba three Olympic boxers defected to the US, and the reactions of the boys and the coach is one of real shock. That these former heroes should betray everything the revolution has provided them with is almost too much for these young patriots to believe. Director Andrew Lang tells DOX that since the defection of these three there has been a stream of defections to Miami, boxers arriving one way or another in search of a better life.
But one wonders when a deeper understanding might begin to cross the boys' minds. Cristian's father was a former Olympic and World Champion boxer himself. He now lives in poverty, having lost the car and house he was given many years ago. At the time of filming he appears as one of the main inspirations for his son, the brightest talent at the Academy. Andrew Lang tells DOX that on returning to the island only one year after the end of filming, he could already sense flickers of doubt in the boys' minds about what the rewards really are for all their sacrifice. At what age does indoctrination stop working? It seems like the answer here might be around 13 or 14 years old.
Meanwhile these ten year olds clearly love their country, truly and deeply one feels. Junior wanders through the streets on his weekend visit home and comments: "Even if Havana is destroyed, it is my city and I love it". And Cristian proudly shows us a picture of Cuban doctors who have been sent to work abroad, explaining: "That is why our Comandante is so admired all over the world". In the middle of the film, the boys gather around to hear the announcement that Castro will delegate his position of leader of the party to his brother Raul. The boys sit on the steps afterwards and seem genuinely concerned about Fidel's health. They also say they are ready to run into the streets, ready to fight if the US dares to attack them.
In the 50 years of the Cuban revolution, few outsiders have been granted access to filming freely within an educational institute. By employing an all- Cuban crew, securing a residency permit, and pretending he was not the director but just helping, Andrew Lang managed to get that permission and access. "I had to report to the sports authorities every two weeks," he tells DOX, "but the rest was built on trust – the coach knew that if this was a negative film he would lose his job, or worse." It all seems to have gone well, Lang updates DOX on the latest news from inside Cuba: "The film screened at the Havana Film Festival, where they all saw it for the first time, and loved it. It also won an award from Cuban film critics for best documentary, and it will be distributed (on
DVD) to the hundred-odd cinemas around the country."
The most disturbing moments in the film involve the intensity of the training, the denial of food to these skinny athletes, the mass chanting of "Mighty Fidel, Beat up the Yanks", and the moment when a very small child dressed up as Fidel takes to the podium. Their training facilities are not high-tech by any means (sweating under dirty mattresses replaces the saunas of more fancy training facilities), but they have clean and tidy school uniforms, meals of a very basic sort, and the boxing equipment they need. "Before the collapse of the USSR, they would have been given clothes and training gear" says Andrew Lang, "but what with that and the embargo, Cuba simply can't afford to equip the pupils properly". So these facilities are not temptation enough to balance out the extreme physical demands on their young bodies through relentless exercise. Their dedication and motivation has to be coming from somewhere else. It does not seem as though riches and celebrity status even cross the minds of Santos, Cristian and Junior. They are not fighting their way out of poverty (unless they plan to defect one day, which is not yet an option for them).
So why do they do it? They talk of the beauty of the sport, the ambition to be someone some day, and of their mothers who they want to provide for when they grow up. Cristian's mother is a woman of admirable family values, lovingly encouraging her sons to go for something they can work for, not to become vagabonds. She recounts the 'Special Period' during which Cristian was born, when they did not have any food to eat, and she told her small children that: "Outside these walls nobody has to know what is happening. Keep your heads high". One wonders if that is a metaphor for much of Cuba. Before turning to boxing, Junior's motivation was originally for ballet (another area of Cuban excellence – Carlos Acosta is a shining example in the West; he trained from the age of nine at the Cuban Ballet School and then defected). Junior boxes for his family, for Fidel, and for all Cubans. Santos, on the other hand, struggles to find the motivation to sacrifice all that is demanded of him. Mostly because he finds it so very hard being hungry all the time.
The film ends , as perhaps all great sporting movies do, with the National Championships, our hero Cristian winning gold, the Havana City Boxing Academy reclaiming the team title, and Cristian's dad, the former champ, being so moved and proud of his son that he not only cries, but truly believes the boy can be greater than he once was. So we should probably be looking out for the name of Cristian Martinez in future Olympics. The only thing that might stop him is politics. American policy has begun to allow inter-personal visits. Cuban musicians are touring the US. Golf courses are to be built on the island to attract more tourists. The
demand for more rapid change from within might increase. The Cuban leadership might crumble. But then again, people have been saying those kinds of things for 50 years – meanwhile the Cuban boxers keep winning Olympic gold.

"Creating a better world requires teamwork, partnership, and collaboration-"=E2=80" Simon Mainwaring
These words are ringing very true for us here at Beyond Benign. Teamwork, partnership and collaboration are central to how we carry out our educational programs designed to advance the 12 principles of green chemistry across K-12, higher education and industry. This fall I'm excited to share that our Green Chemistry Commitment program will receive the Northeast Partners for Progress and Prosperity (P3) Award at the NERM meeting on October 7th in Binghamton, NY. The award is given to teams to recognize the importance of partnering toward common goals to advance a global chemistry enterprise. We indeed hold these values dear and consider them as central to our mission of supporting educators, scientists and citizens with the tools required to teach and practice green chemistry. This tremendous honor also recognizes Beyond Benign's partners and collaborators within the greater chemistry community.
It is through collaboration with diverse groups that we are able to bring green chemistry to a broad audience. Partnerships are invaluable since they can bring out the best in us as we strive to learn best practices from each other and guide each other by example. Collaboration also allows people and organizations to leverage voices and ideas from both small and large organizations, accomplishing so much more than we would with only one voice, or one idea. We believe our programs are exemplary of partnering for progress and prosperity and we are truly honored to be receiving the award alongside a growing number of innovative academic institutions that are leading change in chemistry education.
Through our partnerships in the Green Chemistry Commitment, we are able to highlight some unique approaches to green chemistry education. For example, the first international signer to the Green Chemistry Commitment is the University of Toronto, which is home to an amazing student-led group called the Green Chemistry Initiative. It has been exciting to engage with these passionate students on and off campus. Many are pursuing careers in green chemistry education and sustainability, including at My Green Lab, and the Green Chemistry & Commerce Council. If you are looking for ways to engage your department, or ideas for student groups, then check out what they have done. This initiative demonstrates the tremendous power of students in creating change.
Teamwork, partnership, and collaboration can be found throughout our programs at Beyond Benign. Another great example is our new Green Chemistry Lead Teacher program which involves 9 dynamic, inspiring teachers from throughout North America who will help us to bring green chemistry to high schools regionally throughout the country and beyond. We anticipate this model for-teachers, by-teachers will help to expand our social impact by reaching teachers, students and communities nationwide, while also enriching all our K-12 programs with diverse perspectives and expertise. You will hear much more from this amazing group as we work with them throughout the year and launch our new website, which is currently in progress.
As always, we thank you for being part of our network and for partnering with us to bring green chemistry education to K-12 and higher education. Without your partnership and your willingness to share your work and experiences with us, our organization would not be what it is today.
The Green Chemistry Commitment (GCC) program, along with regional college and university partners are being recognized as the award winner for the ACS Northeast P3 Award (Partners for Progress and Prosperity Award)
In the back (left to right): Rich Gurney (Simmons College), Irv Levy (Gordon College), Ed Brush (Bridgewater State University) In the front (left to right): Marguerite White-Jeanneau (Northern Essex Community College), Patricia Richard (Middlesex Community College), and Amy Cannon (Beyond Benign)
The purpose of the P3 Award is to recognize successful and exemplary partnerships between industry, academia, government, small business and/or other domestic or overseas entities (e.g., local sections, international ACS chapters, ACS divisions, chemical or other professional societies) that result in impactful outcomes in the following categories:
The GCC program addresses two of the above categories: improving the public perception and appreciation for chemistry, and supporting STEM education and/or research. The partner organizations include an essential network of green chemistry educators in the Northeast region, including key partners: Dr. Ed Brush, Bridgewater State University, Professor Irv Levy, Gordon College, Dr. Wei Zhang, University of Massachusetts Boston, and Dr. Rich Gurney, Simmons College. These partners have been key in advancing green chemistry in the region and launching the GCC program. More Info

Green Chemistry = Social Justice
October 18, 2016 2:00 - 3:00pm EDT, Register here!
Dr. Edward J. Brush, ebrush**At_Symbol_Here**bridgew.edu, Department of Chemical Sciences, Bridgewater State University, Bridgewater, MA 02325, United States
Abstract: Green Chemistry is the science of making smart choices in how we design, make, use and dispose of chemicals and chemical products. However, chemists also need to be aware of the potential unintended consequences of hazardous chemicals that may disproportionally impact children and adults in low income, minority neighborhoods. This violates our definition of social and environmental justice where all people, regardless of race or economic status, have the right to live, work, play and learn in healthy, safe environments. The goal of this webinar is to better understand some of these disparities, and explore opportunities for transdisciplinary collaboration between the social sciences and green chemistry to better educate the public on the role of chemicals in their daily lives, and how the field of green chemistry might offer solutions to achieve social and environmental justice.

Taking the Initiative in Green ChemistryGCC Student Highlights
Since 2012, the University of Toronto's Green Chemistry Initiative (GCI) has been a student-run organization that demonstrates how students can drive the direction of their education and be the advocates of green chemistry that can bring change. The main goal of the GCI is to regularly raise awareness about green chemistry at the graduate student level within the Department of Chemistry.
The GCI is a model for how students can bring green chemistry to a department and share publicly available tools and activities; their outreach promotes green chemistry principles and sustainable lab practices. The project topics range from undergraduate curriculum development, a video series on green chemistry, community outreach events, proper disposal of chemical waste, and energy reduction campaigns.
The GCC applauds the GCI for their continued effort to provide knowledge and awareness of green chemistry, and we hope others will take inspiration from your work.
For a list of the GCI's current projects, go here and check out their twitter updates here.
Green Chemistry Outreach FellowsBeyond Benign is recruiting college and university students to become the messengers of green chemistry within their local community. Students educate a wide range of audiences to advocate the importance of a sustainable world through science and bring excitement about green chemistry.

Crazy Yankee Sportfishing - 3rd Lake Ontario trip for 2018

Crazy Yankee Sportfishing - 3rd Lake Ontario trip for 2018
Poles293 replied to Yankee Troller's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)I run big boards for everything now. I will probably keep running the big boards for browns but want to switch to inlines for salmon. I have a smaller boat so I only run 1 copper or core off each side on the big boards. Would the Sam's Pro release work well with the TX44's and a 300 copper?

Poles293 posted a topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)Braved the north wind today and pulled out of the harbor around 730 directly into a stiff north wind. Worst place was between the pier heads with legit 4 footers bouncing off the piers. Once clear of the harbor we headed east as the wind soon turned northeast. Only had 4 rods out when we doubled up on 2 small browns, one 3lbs. the other 6lbs. One on a silver and blue Rapala the other on a perch Rapla. Unfortunately while working the double both on the starboard side of the boat we didn't notice the dog leash attached to the planer line to stack the releases had wrapped around one of the rods on the port side. With the waves the planers were bouncing pretty good and when we finished netting the double we turned around and the rod and reel were gone. Donated to the fish Gods!!!! If anyone snags a nice green Daiiwa rod with a Convector20LC towing a fire tiger Rapala Enjoy!!! The wind picked up and we decided to pull lines and make a run back to harbor. After a slow boat ride back to the mouth the wind settled a little so we decided to set up and give it another troll with the wind. Picked up three more on perch and black and gold. Not a bad day considering the wind and it's always nice to get bonus time on the water in February. All except the rod and reel donation. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Poles293 posted a topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)Avoided an almost catastrophe leaving the dock. Just as I got the boat turned around my B in L declares time for breakfast and starts peeling a banana. I reached over, ripped it out of his hand and launches it as far as I could throw it. Crisis averted. Got on the water about 630 am and set up in 120' of water. First time out with the new Fish Hawk probe. Well not exactly, went out last week and forgot batteries for the probe so spent the morning staring at my $700 surface temp screen!! Worked great with batteries in it. Got the probe rigger down 55' where we hit 44 degree temp. Set the speed at 2.8 down speed ( thank you to all those that have posted in the past probe speeds really made things simple). As soon as I started rigging the second rigger nailed a small king on the probe rigger. A lot of boats in the 100 to 200' range so only put out riggers and Dipseys left the big boards and coppers in the boat until it cleared out some. Trolled north to south and had steady action the whole morning. Only took one shot on the wire Dipseys but dropped it. The rest was a spoon bite off riggers with cheaters hitting a few steel. After the first hour rigger was down 65 and that's where it stayed. FLT magnum Black Meat Pounding Deep was the superstar and accounted for the majority of our catch. Took on steel off a 300 copper and FLT alewife spoon. Everything else came off the riggers. Worked 150-300' N to S until 11 am. Ended up 12 for 24 mix of kings and steel. Biggest was 18 lbs. just couldn't find the big boys. Love those new FLT spoons Bob Fuller does a great job with them and they're worthy the wait. Can't believe I fished all these years without a temp/speed probe. Almost every fish was caught at 2.8 FH down speed. Made me realize how unproductive I was all those years just using SOG. Tight lines! Mike

Poles293 replied to backoneerie2016's topic in Tackle and TechniquesIt's not about the exact distance it's about the repeatability. Distance will be close but being able to get the lure back to the same place every time is key. Sort of like a Fishawk probe reads slightly faster than a Subtroll its not about the exact speed but consistency.
Looking to have a Bimini top with sides made anyone know a quality operation in WNY?
Poles293 replied to kkokanovich's topic in Open Lake DiscussionNot sure what size boat you have but I took my 18' Crestliner to Olson Bros in Derby and they had someone from Rochester come in and make me a convertible Bimini with zip off windshield, zip off side curtains and a skirt for the opening under the windshield. Quality is great and comes in handy for sun, wind in March - April and rain. Dropped it off in the morning and it was done by dinner time.
Track systems & dipsey rod holders?
Poles293 replied to LTtroller's topic in Tackle and TechniquesI run Cisco track and rod holders. Workmanship and quality are outstanding. Come with set screws on the end so no need to buy an end cap. All corners and edges radiused and their customer service is excellent. One friend runs Bert's tracks and another runs Traxstech and they are both very good too. Can't go wrong with any of them. As far as dipsey rod holders I have the Cisco cradle style Dipsey rod holders and they can be a pain with the butt sticking into the boat. I will be updating to the Canon ratcheting rid holders for my Dipseys. A buddy has them and I like the you can grab them and ratchet them up with one hand to make it easier to get the rod out. Hope this helps good luck.
Wow must be ESP they were in the mailbox when I got home. Look great can't wait to try them.
Not to hijack the thread but has anyone received their order from FLT? I placed an order over 3 weeks ago and after the confirmation email haven't heard anything since. I called and left messages and sent emails but no response. I've heard nothing but good things about FLT Spoons and was wondering if anyone had the same problem. I did check the cc and it was charged.

So then what to do with those coloured images. I haven't made tags in such a long time so I decided to pull out the manilla shipping tags and Tim Holtz Distress Ink and get dirty - hehe.
Here are my tags and Copic colours used to colour the images - to see them up close and more details please check out my youtube channel.

A mayor from north Fulton County is one of seven from the United States invited to the 32nd International Mayor's Conference.
Next week, Sandy Springs Mayor Rusty Paul will fly to Israel to speak at the conference that includes 32 mayors from around the world. The invitation was extended to Paul by the Israeli government, the American Council for World Jewry at the Israeli consulate to the Southeast, which is based in Atlanta.
The Israeli government is covering the cost of Paul's trip except for airfare and one additional night's stay in the Western Galilee cluster where Paul will meet with mayors from sister cities to Sandy Springs. In total, Paul's trip will cost the city $1,609.

Paul said he also plans to use this trip to advocate for the Israeli consulate to the southeast. The Atlanta Jewish Times reported that the fate of the consulate, which is based in Midtown, is "up in the air" after an approved spending plan called for the closure of seven Israeli diplomatic missions.
"We've had a marvelous working relationship with that consulate. If I get a chance, I want to weigh in and ask them to reconsider that decision," Paul said at Tuesday's city council meeting. "I'm just one lonely little mayor of a medium sized American city, but as I've told you many times, I'm also one of the few mayors with his own foreign policy, so I'll do what I can to negotiate."

The conference is in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv and lasts from Feb. 11 to 16. Tech, energy, urban development and start-ups are among the topics that will be discussed, according to the website for the conference.
The Western Galilee cluster that Paul will visit after speaking at the conference is made up of 12 authorities, but under one government that has a sister city relationship with Sandy Springs. Paul last visited them during his first term as mayor in 2015.
"It's kind of neat how Sandy Springs gets recognized," Paul said. "I'm absolutely delighted to represent our city."

Up until now we have had a clear model for genetic testing. You see a professional genetics counselor, undergo a battery of tests and that professional helps you interpret your results
Philadelphia, PA (Vocus) July 1, 2009
As scientists continue to decode the human genome and the information becomes publicly available, private companies that offer online genetic testing are multiplying. Scientists at the National Institutes of Health were concerned that perhaps these tests posed a risk.
They evaluated responses to an online test among smokers who did or did not have a common genetic variant associated with risk for lung cancer. The results, published in a recent issue of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, raise a new set of questions, but also allay some of the early concerns.
"Up until now we have had a clear model for genetic testing. You see a professional genetics counselor, undergo a battery of tests and that professional helps you interpret your results," said Saskia Sanderson, Ph.D., a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Genetics and Genomic Sciences at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, who completed the study while working at the Social and Behavioral Research Branch of the National Human Genome Research Institute of the NIH.
"That model is coming under increasing pressure as more and more genetic information is generated, and as a greater number of genetic tests become available on the internet," said Sanderson. "What we found was encouraging in that people who got these online genetic results recalled them correctly, and no one regretted having taken the test; though it is important to remember that this was a small group of select smokers and that others may respond differently."
Patients at higher risk genetically displayed short-term signs of decreased confidence that quitting smoking could reduce their risk of lung cancer, but scientists did note that all of those who took the test chose to receive at least one of several offered known smoking cessation aids.
"Genetic information is complex, and there is a risk that providing unfiltered information will result in heightened worry and misinterpretation of results," said Jamie Ostroff, Ph.D., chief of behavioral science services at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and an editorial board member of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention. "This pilot study found no harm in undergoing these tests and underscores the importance of conducting future research as to how to best educate smokers about gene-environment risks."
Scientists are reluctant to endorse the tests based on this one study, because the sample was limited to 44 individuals who were biologically related to people with lung cancer and who smoked. The online test assessed the presence or absence of the GSTM1 gene, the absence of which has been associated with a slightly increased lung cancer risk.
Exactly half of the smokers were missing GSTM1, thus presenting as higher risk and the other half had GSTM1 present. All the GSTM1 missing individuals correctly identified themselves as "higher risk." Of the GSTM1 present group, 55 percent accurately labeled themselves as "lower risk" while 41 percent interpreted their result as "average risk."
These patterns of accurate interpretation remained at six months, suggesting that these individuals retained the information.
Overall, the individuals taking this test found the results to be believable, trustworthy, easy to understand, relevant and important. At follow-up, no one regretted taking the test.
After taking the test, all of the smokers selected some sort of smoking cessation help with no difference between the higher risk or lower risk groups. Scientists agreed that regardless of the genetic test result, quitting smoking is the single most important step a smoker can take in preventing lung cancer and that a larger comparison study would be needed to determine if knowledge of genetic risk encourages an individual to quit smoking.

'Stuck inside these four walls...'
This final text will outline the evaluative questions that we're asking of our approach and execution of our most recent show: Exhibition, No.1, by Andrew Norman Wilson.
We were delighted with Wilson's culminating performance, the latest version from his Uncertainty Seminars series: Gross World Product, which he followed with the powerpoint pitch for his start-up business Stock Fantasy Ventures. This took place at the tank.tv exhibition and event space on Thursday 05 December, the evening before Wilson left the UK for Sweden. A decisive act of finality of a period where Wilson gave lectures and performed at Nottingham Trent University, the University of Oxford and The Photographers' Gallery, in advance of ours. Wilson continued to work on Gross World Product until the evening of the performance-lecture itself, but this preparation must have added to the relaxed, semi-informal nature of the event itself. We've always stated that one of the core aims of the tank.tv space is to provide a location and situation in which people can watch films and have a chat. I feel the evening of the performance-lecture was the first time since our launch at the end of September where we went someway to achieving this.
I am glad for the responsibility that Wilson took in making a base at tank.tv. Having constant access to Wilson, and his being amenable to undertaking short interviews at regular intervals, as well as delivering short pieces of video footage gave us – and hopefully our viewers – good insight into his working practices. Similarly, I'm certain Wilson's artistic reputation will grow beyond his expectations and having this content free and available on our archive will be a unique resource.
We are fortunate that Wilson has performed ('performance-lectured') the Uncertainty Seminars many times before, because our support and administration of the material aspects of the evening could have been better planned and more robust. Exhibition proposes to tend toward a somewhat informal relationship between the artist and the audience that is mediated by tank.tv. Naturally, the nature of this relationship will depend on who the artist is (for example, we had worked with Wilson previously and had been in semi-regular contact with him for over a year in advance of Exhibition), the level of collaboration that they feel comfortable with in the display of their work and the intensity of their creative process. The circumstances in which we worked with Wilson cannot be replicated in our forthcoming Exhibitions – but we can learn where to draw our boundaries and learn how best possible to construct an 'exhibition-in-progress' for our online viewers.
We'll be able to experiment more in the new year, when Exhibition, No.1 will be made available in our 2013 archive and Exhibition, No.2 opens. The idea of having successive residencies is to have a previous point of reference while the concerns are still current. I think we can leave, satisfied, with a question that asks what precisely tank.tv can do to support the creation and the reception of fragments of an ongoing artistic process. Let's think about the relevance of moving image production and distribution today (both online and gallery-based): What are the objects? And is it our role to identify them?
A large part of Exhibition is about repetition. We will ask the same questions of every artist and we'll repeat our exhibitive practices until we feel we've reached a level of refinement. Anybody who has visited the tank.tv exhibition and event space over the previous fortnight will have seen Wilson's aroma beads rolling down a window screen, in fact I've had Band on the Run almost on repeat in my head...

In this segment of the Motley Fool Money radio show, host Chris Hill, Million Dollar Portfolio's Jason Moser and Matt Argersinger, and Total Income's Ron Gross discuss the reasons that rapidly rising profits and user numbers were not enough to buoy Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) shares on Friday.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg handed out quarterly numbers that were excellent by any measure. However, when he discussed his intentions to put real money not just into content, VR, and the like but also into security and the prevention of abuse of its platform, he got some investors worried about margins.
A full transcript follows the video.
This video was recorded on Nov. 3, 2017.
Chris Hill: Facebook shares falling a bit despite third-quarter revenue growing nearly 50% year over year. Profits up big too, Matty, but Mark Zuckerberg's comments on the call scaring off at least a few investors.
Matt Argersinger: They've been warning for a while that revenue growth was going to slow down, especially in the second half of 2017. We're still waiting for that. As you pointed out, revenue was up almost 50%, 47%, in the third quarter. That's up from 45% growth in the second quarter and, the operating margin expanded from 44% to 50%. There are very few companies, let alone ones as big as Facebook, that can have a 50% operating margin and be growing as fast as they are. Net profits were up huge. On the engagement level, daily active users up 16%, monthly active users 16%. What I think they're concerned about, as you pointed out, is that they're going to be stepping up investments, especially in 2018. And a lot of that is going to go to content, connectivity, AI, AR, VR stuff they're doing, but a lot of it is going to go to the security stuff to ensure quality and abuse prevention. I think that's going to be critical, especially when 2018 is an election year. Just, are we going to be talking about this in six months, nine months? I don't know. I mean, I'm glad they're taking these steps. It's important. I don't think Facebook is a company that understands its own influence and how big it can be. So, that's a medium to long-term worry for them. But, I don't know, the results are so impressive that the growth is really going to take care of all these problems, I think.
Hill: And, again, the investments that they're going to make, particularly in security, I think that's what has a few investors saying, well, the margins have to come down, right? Unless of course, the ad platform in six to 12 months is even more robust, an even better experience for everyone involved, and therefore Facebook has pricing power and margins not only stay the same, but possibly even get better.
Argersinger: It's possible. They've been warning about the ad load problem for months now, almost a year, and that hasn't been a problem if you look at the advertising revenue they're pulling in. It's just so impressive.
Chris Hill has no position in any of the stocks mentioned. Matthew Argersinger has no position in any of the stocks mentioned. The Motley Fool owns shares of and recommends Facebook. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy.

He's already more than a third of the way to his 2016 home run total a little more than a quarter of the way into the season. He's hitting .325/.361/.618, good for a .407 wOBA, third best among NL outfielders (a group that includes Bryce Harper). Oh, and he's doing it all from the leadoff spot. If Charlie isn't starting the All-Star Game, it will be because not enough Rockies fans voted for him (hint hint).
Patrick Saunders spoke with Bud Black about some of the best problems a manager can have: too many good players to fit into one lineup. When Ian Desmond missed the first month of the season, it was pretty straightforward, and it stayed so when Story hit the DL. Now with Alexi Amarista and Pat Valaika hitting well from the shortstop position, and Reynolds still hitting (despite not getting many starts over the past week), what's a manager to do? Oh, and David Dahl and Tom Murphy still haven't played an inning in 2017 too, just as a reminder.
In case you might be under the impression that the Rockies are a big flash in the pan, just know that the farm system is set to continue producing talent. Case in point: Brendan Rodgers, who has "cooled off" down to a .352/.374/.602 line. The author seems to think the Rockies would jump him from High-A to the majors at some point this season, which would not only be a big break from the Rockies' modus operandi, but would probably rush his development a little much. Of course, if he keeps hitting like this, there's no telling how soon we'll see him in purple pinstripes.
Sure, let's talk more about Charlie Blackmon! Kevin Henry flashes back to a time when Chuck Nazty seemed to be the most likely candidate for a trade. Where would the Rockies be had just one of those rumors come to fruition?
In a recent FanPost, user ColoradoMania! describes why following a good Rockies team is so important and so meaningful for those fans who have stuck with them through some fallow years.
Who is more likely to make the playoffs: the Diamondbacks or the Rockies? If you take a dive into some of the numbers you might think, as Devan Fink concludes, that the D-backs are in better position. I could make a lot of purple-tinted glasses arguments against these numbers, but one point Fink brings up himself I think he glosses over far too quickly:
The gap could close, however, if DJ LeMahieu (86 wRC+) and Ian Desmond (63 wRC+) get hot and begin to produce at 2016 levels. Carlos Gonzalez (59 wRC+) and Trevor Story (65 wRC+ and freshly off the DL) also remain as question marks. The fact that the Rockies are 30-17 with those four players hitting below the league average is commendable, though.
The Diamondbacks offense has been great and the Rockies' has been bad. But which is more likely to continue?
Owner problems remind us that, since Jeff Bridich took over, we haven't heard much from the Monfort Brothers.

157 - The Persecution Promise
July 30, 2011
Did you know that one of the true signs of saving faith is the fact that you will face persecution? Consider the following:
The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs— heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. Romans 8:16-17
Are you wondering exactly what that means and how it plays out in our lives today?
Good. Then keep listening.
The following is a study on John 15:18-27.

Coalo's Weekend at the LA Bug Fair
Last weekend, Coalo set up shop at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County for the 30th Annual Bug Fair. This two-day event featured so many incredible exhibitors and programs exploring the wonderful world of insects. Here are some highlights from this year's Bug Fair:
"Would you like to try a chocolate covered cricket?"
Our team spent the weekend doling out Chocolate Cricket Nibs, a sample-size version of our Coalo Cocoa Coated Crickets. We did this for two reasons: one, they're so delicious we can't help but share them; and two, they're a non-threatening way to introduce edible insects to first-timers. At the end of each day, we held a raffle and our lucky winners received one pound of Chocolate Cricket Nibs!
We love spreading the word about entomophagy. The fact that we gave hundreds of people the chance to try crickets for the first time made the weekend incredibly special.
Great Minds Think Alike
We shared a table with our friends Dee and Dave Robinson. They own HOPN Bakery, a local company that uses cricket powder to make sustainable, protein-packed dog treats.
Right next to the Coalo/HOPN table was Lithic Nutrition. Lithic's founders, Dave and Lars Baugh, recently debuted a new line of cricket protein bars. These delicious bars are made from Coalo Cricket Powder and received rave reviews from Bug Fair attendees!
It was wonderful to spend the weekend with enthusiastic, like-minded people who believe in the power of the cricket!
Master Chef: Bug Edition
One of the most exciting parts of the weekend was "Master Chef: Bug Edition." During this two-day event, expert entomophagy chefs David George Gordon and Zack Lemann competed to see who could create the tastiest edible insect dishes. They whipped up all kinds of entomophagy treats, which were then passed around to the audience. It was awesome to see so many people eager to eat insects for the first time!
Our team was lucky enough to meet both of the Master Chef contestants. Zack brought us cricket cookies and refried beans with mealworms, which were absolutely delicious. David also visited our table, where he enjoyed a chocolate covered cricket and even posed for a picture with Lucas!
We loved getting the chance to chat with both Zack and David. And we can definitely say that these were the best "celebrity sightings" we've had since moving to LA.
Fostering a Love For Science and Nature
Another Bug Fair highlight was getting to know the children and families who attended. We met so many great kids who have a genuine love for insects.
It was inspiring to see the excitement on these kids' faces when they showed off their insect-themed face paint, proudly displayed a brand new pet cockroach or announced that they had just eaten a bug for the first time. We couldn't help but let this enthusiasm rub off on us.
They say that if a child develops a love for science and nature early on, it will last a lifetime. We believe the same holds true for entomophagy.
The Museum
The Natural History Museum is an amazing place to visit, Bug Fair or no Bug Fair. It was a busy day and some exhibits were closed due to the event, but we were still able to take a few breaks to do some exploring and learning!
What a great weekend. Many thanks to the phenomenal Bug Fair Staff for organizing this event, and to everyone who stopped by the Coalo Valley Farms table to learn about entomophagy. See you next year, NHMLA!

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is arguably India's best captain but there is no denying the fact that he is India's most successful captain. For the record, no other captain in the world won all three ICC Trophy i.e T20 World Cup, ODI World Cup, and Champions Trophy except MS Dhoni. He has done many firsts for India as captain and we all have those records on tip of our tongues but what is the change that Dhoni brought in the Indian team that he captained for almost a decade? What is his legacy?
1.Cultivating Winning mentality in the shorter format of the game.
Real change in the attitude of the Indian team started under Sourav Ganguly. He made the Indian team a bunch of fighters. He taught India how to reach finals but sadly, on most of the occasions India faltered on big stages and lost big finals. Under Sourav Ganguly, India reached 14 ODI finals but could win only one final and three finals ended with no result. Under Dhoni, things changed drastically and India took a giant leap. India learned how to win big finals and the winning habit was cultivated in players. Earlier, India started as underdogs in finals, under Dhoni India became favourites in the finals and the rich haul of trophy under Dhoni is the testimony to the fact. Under Dhoni, India won eight finals and lost only five.
2.Backing Young players and leaving the core behind for the next captain.
Dhoni's first ODI trophy as captain came in Australia in 2008 CB series. Beating Australia, a dominant team for two decades, in their own backyard, in first two of the three finals when Ricky Ponting infamously claimed that they would finish off India in first two finals, was one of the sweetest victories that India grabbed. But, the story before that series was not at all rosy. India dropped two big names i.e Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid from ODI squad and Dhoni famously said that sometimes it is very important to send the message across. Since then he always backed youngsters with an eye on the future.
Sourav Ganguly is always credited for building team India by backing players like Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan etc but Dhoni is never given due credit in this regard. Not long ago, people mocked Dhoni for backing players like R Ashwin, R Jadeja, Murali Vijay, Rohit Sharma who have now become the core of Virat Kohli's invincible test team. Dhoni reaped the benefit of the team created by Sourav Ganguly. Similarly, before leaving he has built the core of the team to make India champion team under Virat Kohli.
3.Making Fitness and fielding key criteria for team selection.
While watching cricket in the late 90s and the early 2000s, Indian cricket fans always rued about Indian fielding and fitness standards compared to what Aussies or Proteas had. Dhoni came and tinkered with Indian thought process of not giving importance to the fielding and especially of not giving importance to the fitness. He always stressed on the importance of the fitness. He created a furor in 2012 Australian series when he categorically mentioned that only two out of Gautam Gambhir, Virender Sehwag, and Sachin Tendulkar could be included in playing XI because of their inconsistency in the fielding. Merit and demerits of that decision can be debated but that sent a clear message to players eyeing a place in the team that fitness and fielding have become key criteria in the team's selection. Dhoni himself led by example. He, all through his career, remained one of the fittest and fastest player on the pitch. The generation of players that came later are super fit and are among best fielders of the world with the new in-charge Virat Kohli leading in both department,
4.Unhurried approach to the game and assuredness of Champions
It is true to some extent that a captain is as good as his team but a captain certainly changes the way his team plays. Ricky Ponting and his team played firebrand cricket. Sourav Ganguly had aggression and that reflected in the attitude of his team. Anil Kumble had determination in his game and that reflected in his team. Who can forget that famous 2008 Perth test,
In the era of the aggressive brand of cricket, Dhoni brought an unhurried approach to the game. Before, Dhoni's ascendency as captain, Indian team were jittery in big chases and nervous on big occasions. There were many occasion when India collapsed after being in good position. The panic button was pressed more often than needed. Dhoni dismantled the panic button of the team and gave a loud call for calmness. The situation gradually changed in years to come under his captaincy. From being a bad chaser, India became chase masters. In last two years of his captaincy, it was more because of Virat Kohli but Dhoni was not far behind when we check the record of last decade. In his tenure as captain, In 43 innings while chasing, Dhoni scored 1558 runs, for winning cause, at a staggering average of 91.64. The attitude of Dhoni rubbed off on players as well and Indian team under him possessed assuredness of Champions unlike the nervousness of underdogs earlier seen.
5.Stomach to take big unconventional decision
Last over to Joginder Sharma in 2007 T20 World Cup final, promoting himself ahead of in-form Yuvraj Singh in 2011 World Cup Final or giving over to most expensive bowler Ishant Sharma in the Champions trophy final when England was cruising and needed only 28 runs in three overs or the infamous decision of denying strike to Ambati Rayudu. He took unconventional decisions, backed it, and most often ended on the right side of it, bringing many laurels to India. Call him lucky, call him "The great gambler" or call him a genius, give him whatever name you like but you cannot deny that Dhoni had stomach for taking big unconventional decisions when stakes were high.
It is really the end of an era that gave many glorious days to the Indian cricket. When Dhoni was once asked question on managing old and young players. He answered, "From Kishore Kumar, we have gone to Sean Paul". It goes for the captaincy too, we are moving from an ear of Kishore Kumar to Sean Paul.
Over to you Virat Kohli.

Currently, there is no direct integration available to import the survey data from Survey monkey to JotForm.
But what can be done to acheive the import process is to export first your data to a file format like Excel or CSV data file, and then use the file data to import it to JotForm.
You can refer to this discussion thread for similar idea
Let us know if you have further question on this.

Where can I buy Matcha tea? If you are wondering where to buy this beneficial tea, you will have no doubt done a quick search online, only to discover that there are many different options at your disposal. This can make it difficult to narrow down your search effectively. Keeping that in mind, read on to discover the common mistakes you need to avoid when buying this product.
One of the biggest errors that people make when buying Matcha tea is simply looking for the cheapest product they can find. If you do this, you are almost certain to experience a far poorer quality of product. It is likely you will receive dull, dark green coloured tea, and this is a clear indication of low quality Matcha. Instead, the powder should be vibrant green in colour. Another mistake is failing to do enough research. In order to establish the level of quality, you will need to read reviews that have been left by other customers and conduct a good amount of research online. Aside from this, a lot of people make the blunder of choosing a company selling Matcha without considering their delivery prices. Matcha tea is not an expensive item on the whole, and thus a high shipping cost can really ramp up the overall price. Try to find a company that offers free delivery. Last but not least, don't forget to look at the packaging; it is vital that high grade containers are used to lock in freshness.
So, in answer to the question 'where can I buy Matcha tea?' The company you need is Mighty Matcha. We delivery Matcha free of charge, and you can be left in no doubt regarding the quality of our Matcha tea, as we were delighted to win gold at the Great Taste Awards in 2012. When you buy our Matcha, you will notice the bright green colour, which assures you that this is a quality product. Shop today at https://www.mightymatcha.com/.

Another unique characteristic of The SAE School is our open admissions process. This means, depending on availability, students may be accepted for the current school year and regardless of the time of year. Additionally, we accept applications throughout the year for the following academic year.
The admissions process starts with a visit to the school and a tour. Families then submit a Student Application, Learner Profile and any other relevant documents. At least one Teacher Recommendation is required, as well as the student's transcripts for the last 2-3 years.
Our admissions team assesses the student application and corresponding documents and then schedules shadowing dates based on available space in the appropriate classrooms.
Why was The SAE School created?
The SAE School was created for all students who struggle in traditional school settings. We expect our kids to talk to each other, ask questions, move around, fidget, be comfortable while learning, and to have an awesome time at school every single day. School should be fun for gosh sakes!
