What's the old saying - "3-D fool me once, shame on you, 3-D fool me twice, shame on me?"
"Clash of the Titans" was a nearly humorless, overly digitized remake of a 1980s piece of sword-and-sorcery cheese, an inoffensive trifle whose biggest sin was a post-production 3-D conversion.
The "Titans" sequel wasn't converted, so the 3-D is a lot better. And the director of "Battle Los Angeles" and the screenwriters give it a bit of mythic whimsy amongst all the muddle about gods, demigods, the father of gods and the end of the age of gods.
In a Greek past of volcanoes, but no trees, Perseus (Sam Worthington) is living the life of a village fisherman and single dad to Helius (John Bell). The kid is growing up without religion, without his grandpa. That's because Perseus knows "There's no such as 'good gods,'" and his dad, Zeus (Liam Neeson), is entirely too busy for grandparenting.
He's too busy narrating.
"The time of the gods is ending," Zeus narrates.
Hades (Ralph Fiennes) aims to hasten that.
"You're sweating like a human, brother," Hades purrs. "Next, it'll be tears."
With another son of Zeus, Ares (Edgar Ramirez), the god of war, Hades traps Zeus in the underworld. Perseus must round up a team and go get 'em, before god of gods Kronos cracks free and gods and men are drowned in a sea of lava.
First is Andromeda, a vision in blond hair and armor played by Rosamund Pike. Bill Nighy steals the movie as Hephaestus, blacksmith and armorer to the gods. He makes the old tinkerer a crackpot who carries on conversations with himself.
Then, there's the disreputable son of Poseidon, "The Navigator" Agenor, given a bemused spin by Toby Kebbell. He's a reluctant recruit.
"Would you do me a favor?" he asks Perseus. "Go to Hell."
So we know where this is going, and we know who'll be in the final brawl. But director Jonathan Liebesman and company keep this stripped down (few gods, not too much dialogue) and manage a few surprises and a little fun on the trip. They even trot out Danny Huston as Poseidon, in a beard and get-up that remind us that his dad, John Huston, once played Noah on the big screen.
Yes, this "Titans" is going to you-know-where. At least this one manages to make the 3-D ride worth the destination.

I apologize for missing yesterday's post, but hopefully this one will make up for it! Oh, and sorry that the pictures are so lame, I was short of a photographer today. But on to the matter at hand! Last spring, my family and I were shopping in downtown Breckinridge, CO when I spotted the coolest beaded top. My mom tried to convince my not to buy it because she thought I would only be able to wear it once… Well mom, I've found a way to prove you wrong! Here are two of my favorite ways to style this seasonal top. (I don't suggest wearing it in the winter though, your arms might get a little cold!)
For a classic, black-and-white look, use a pair of very structured black short and some red lip gloss to give make the outfit pop. Tuck in the shirt or leave it untucked, whatever you want! My baublebar dangles match perfectly with the beading of the top, and my strappy clogs give the look a bit of an edge.
To the boho girl side of every girl: mix and match patterns! My favorite pair of pants gives an Indi-inspired look to this simple top and gives it a whole lot of color. With a pair of simple black flats and my new tusk earrings, this outfit is perfect for any occasion!

Rare Malaysian Animal
This three persons have been the grabbing the mainstream media's headlines for the past one week. They were originally voted into the Perak state assembly in last year's general election held in March 2008, under opposition parties' banners.
In February 2009, barely a year after the election, they thought it was best to be independent. What a farce!
Hee Yit Foong, the lady who has been appointed as Perak's state deputy speaker wouldn't even dare dream to have this position at all in her life and I guessed that things got too big for her to handle.
Out of personal issues with the Perak state government, she decided to forego even the struggles of her political party of twenty two years which was DAP. Together with her resignation from the DAP plus the other two PKR members, namely Jamaluddin Mohd Radzi and Mohd Osman Mohd Jailu, it has caused the Pakatan Rakyat or People's Alliance coalition to lose the whole state government to Barisan Nasional.
People in her constituency are mad with her now for being part of this farce. Saying goes that she has betrayed her supporters and friends. Her immediate family members are afraid to go out in the public and police reports were made in the interest of their safety. Food stall operators in the wet market didn't want to sell food to Hee' mother in the wet market. Hee's pictures are seen being burnt in the open. She did this because of personal issues and couldn't care less about the people that voted for her during the election. I wonder what was her election manifesto.
The people in Perak have regarded them as the froggies now, hopping from one place to another, a rare breed of animal. A call has even been made to make frog statues for these Malaysian politicians in resemblance to the one made for the USA presidents at Mount Rushmore ........... haha
These three persons countered all those votes thrown in in electing them to represent the people in those respective constituencies. I can feel how those Perakians are feeling ........... not only Perakians but KL folks are talking about it .......... not for it of course.
Barisan Nasional has decided not to seek the public's mandate and went on to claim the Perak's administration by getting these three so-called independent politicians, to side them.
Even the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam), has called for a fresh state-wide election in Perak. Suhakam has also questioned the Ruler of Sultan on his agreement in allowing Barisan Nasional to take over the Perak state government.
There are four party hoppers actually ............. the last fella from the Bota constituency does not deserve any mention of his name in my blog ........... he's a total disgrace.
The day he left Barisan Nasional on 26 Jan 2009 for Pakatan Rakyat, he quoted this - "I believe PKR and its partners in Pakatan Rakyat are able to be a better coalition of component parties for the people's benefit."
The day he decided to leave Pakatan Rakyat back to Barisan Nasional (bearing in mind he did this within ten days), he quoted this - "After considering the advice and views of my political partners and those who would like to see a stable political situation and government in Perak, I'm returning to Umno and the Barisan Nasional"
Whatever it is, the Malaysians can say whatever they want for whichever parties they support but should refrain from violence that could throw the country into disarray and thus, causing an even worse economy. They are just politicians!

GC Unplugged: A Night of Music and Education Advocacy at the Chateau Laurier
Global Citizen designed the GC Unplugged event to discuss the key issues in girls' education.
On Wednesday night, education advocates, political leaders, and Global Citizens gathered at the Château Laurier in Ottawa for a night of lively discussion and music after the Global Partnership for Education's board meeting.
Global Citizen, which campaigns on education, designed the GC Unplugged event, which over 200 people attended, to discuss the barriers to education, specifically as they relate to girls.
Access to education is an issue that plagues countries around the world. There are 263 million children and adolescents out of school, including 130 million girls who are more likely than boys to never even enroll in school.
The GPE works with 65 developing countries to ensure that every child receives a quality basic education, prioritizing the poorest, most vulnerable and those living in countries affected by conflict.

The speakers included Julia Gillard, board chair of GPE, Alice P. Albright, CEO of GPE, and Nesmy Manigat, advisor in education at the office of the prime minister in Haiti.
Led by iHeartRadio host Patrick Langlois, the discussion on stage was lively and really focused on the need for international support for the upcoming GPE replenishment.
Gillard emphasized that now is the time to really broadcast the message about the importance of education. She would like education to be a topic of discussion at the G20 Summit in July, as well as a conversation at the UN and national government levels.

The replenishment for GPE will require an unprecedented surge in global funding that is needed to meet the needs of children missing out on education around the world.
Global Citizen debuted a video with global ambassador Rihanna from a trip to Malawi she took with the GPE to promote the replenishment and the importance of global education.
Gillard was followed by Albright, who touched on the importance of the G20 as an opportunity to make education a global priority.
Manigat talked about education in Haiti and how it ended up being a transformative force within the country. It is because of the support of GPE that so many children were able to return to school in Haiti after Hurricane Matthew in 2016.

"You know from watching children grow that every life is unique, every child has hopes and aspirations and they can only come true if they get a great quality education," Gillard said.
Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau was also in attendance and made candid remarks about her support for education and upcoming announcement to launch Canada's feminist international assistance program.
The last speakers were a group of global youth advocates, Chris Zhou, Natasha Harris and Jose Mateo Dela Cruz, who received a standing ovation aftering delivering a passionate message to the room about gender responsive education, education in emergencies, and financing for education. Their call-to-action touched on what governments, civil societies, youth and citizens can do to ensure that every child is able to receive quality education.

The evening wrapped up with an acoustic performance by Sam Roberts, who is an engaged Global Citizen himself, and an advocate for girls' education.
"As a father to two daughters, I want them to have every opportunity to learn and grow. Education is key to empowering youth to become future leaders and integral to lifting those in need out of poverty," Roberts said.
Global Citizen Unplugged was a follow up to an event held in February, where Julia Gillard met with civil society organizations, members of parliament and musician Emily Haines to look at Canada's role in achieving global education for all.

hey organize Reunion events, serve as ambassadors for the school across the country and the world, connect with other alumnae/i in support of one another, and lend their voice and expertise in leadership positions, including as Board members and City as Our Campus partners.
WT alumnae/i are also ardent supporters of the WT Fund—many are members of the Thistle Honor Roll which recognizes those who have made WT a philanthropic priority for 10 or more continuous years. Sallie Gottlieb Korman '51, Barbara Berkman Ackerman '58, and Margaret Riehl Peabody '65 are three of many alumnae who graduated more than 50 years ago and regularly support the WT Fund. Between them, they have given to WT for more than 100 years!
Sallie Gottlieb Korman '51
WT taught Sallie to be an active participant in the community, and she has lived up to that commitment—dedicating her energies to the Institute of Contemporary Art and the School of Nursing, both at the University of Pennsylvania, and to the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society in Philadelphia, among others. When asked why she supports the WT Fund, Sallie remarks, "It is a way to support the activities of the school that did so much for me as a student."
Barbara Berkman Ackerman '58
As a lifelong Pittsburgher, Barbara supports WT to keep its role in the community strong and to keep the city attractive for newcomers. "I feel that people who were students in the past, and benefitted from their education, should be giving to those here today and tomorrow. This will help our city to be the best!"
Margaret 'Marny' Riehl Peabody '65
For Marny, the motivation to give is rather simple. "WT was really a wonderful place for me—I made a number of life-long friends and had phenomenal teachers who made a greater impact on my education than did my college professors."

Pelni (Pelayaran Nasional Indonesia, Indonesian National Shipping) is the national cargo and passenger shipping company of Indonesia. Its services network spans across Indonesian archipelago. Mainly serving as connector between bigger cities to remote islands, Pelni plays important role in Indonesian transport system.[1]
Pelni is one of the few remaining economy-class long-distance passenger ship operators. Most of the world's well-known passenger ship companies have stopped their low-budget passenger services since 1960s due to shifting trends towards airplane transport. Pelni's ability to survive is mostly due to monopolies on certain routes and subsidized routes funded by Government of Indonesia.
Under the Dutch colonial rule, Indonesian inter-islands transportation was dominated by Koninklijke Paketvaart-Maatschappij (KPM), founded in 1888. KPM headquarter was in Amsterdam, but daily operations were controlled from Batavia, Dutch East Indies (now jakarta).
As a newly independent republic, in late 1940s Indonesian government decided to nationalize Dutch-owned companies. The Dutch refused to give away KPM, due to its strong position as connector of Indonesian archipelago. KPM also played important role in transporting Dutch logistics and military supplies during Indonesian National Revolution.
In response to Dutch refusal, in September 5, 1950, Indonesia founded PEPUSKA (Yayasan Penguasaan Pusat Kapal-kapal, Centrally-controlled Ships Foundation) that operates 8 ships with total size of 4.800 Deadweight tonnage. However, due to lack of experience and capital, PEPUSKA failed to takeover KPM's monopoly.
In April 28, 1952, PEPUSKA was dissolved. Pelni (now as a company, not a foundation) was founded at the same day, with the same fleet. To bring more power, Indonesian Eximbank provided funding to buy 45 new coaster ships from Western Europe countries, and while waiting these new ships being produced, rented various ships from many countries. Pelni also used ships looted from Japan in World War 2.[2] These strategies proved successful, as KPM suffered from declining market share and strike workers led by Sukarno's leftist doctrine. KPM discontinued its Indonesian operation in December 3, 1957.[3]
Pelni achieved its golden era during early 1980s to late 1990s. Under Suharto presidency with his Transmigration program, Pelni was the main transport to move people from Java and Sumatra to eastern region of Indonesia, because air transport facilities were still underdeveloped.[4]
Pelni started to suffer after 2000s, because airplane services were cheaper year by year.[5] Some of its old ships even failed to sell to third parties, and maintaining these old ships also was not a cheap option. KM Kambuna (now KRI Tanjung Nusanive 973) and KM Rinjani (now KRI Tanjung Fatagar 974) was granted to Indonesian Navy in 2004.[6] KM Kerinci was sold in 2014.[7] KFC Jet Liner was rented to Sri Lanka Navy between 2009 and 2012.[8] As of 2017, no party is interested to buy KM Ganda Dewata (Ro-ro ship) even as a scrap.[9]
Pelni started to reform its services and management since 2012 to this day, by focusing more on tourism and cargo market, alongside improving its current low-budget passenger services. Pelni began to book positive earnings since 2014.[10]
Ships and services[edit]
Passenger ships[edit]
Pelni's passenger ships are also a major branding feature of Pelni: large yellow funnel with red-and-white strips and Pelni logo.[11] Pelni painted its ships with white color on the upper side of ships and crimson on the lower side. It's reddish lifeboats are also easily recognised from distances.
This article does not cite any sources. (May 2020) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Most of these passenger ships (Excluding KM Egon, KM Ganda Dewata & KFC Jetliner) were built by Meyer Werft, a major German shipyard well-known as luxury passenger ships builder.[12] Due to Meyer's luxury culture, some party considered Pelni's ships 'too good' by Indonesian standard, even after designed & built as economy-class passenger ships by default.[13] As of August 12, 2017, no Meyer-built Pelni ship ever involved in sinking accident. However, these high-standard ships were not enjoyed by passengers, especially prior to 2014, because harsh treatment by passengers and the crew itself. Most of the problems comes from illegal passengers, which at least until April 24, 2019 are still frequently found.[14]
Since 2014 onwards, some improvement have been made, especially in ticket reservation system (now booking is available online, but still limited to payment via Bank Rakyat Indonesia's ATM and Indomaret store. Credit card payment is still not possible), toilet repair, and 2-pin electric plug (for mobile devices only). Passengers can enjoy GSM & GPRS network in Pelni ships provided by telkomsel. However, passenger management is still troublesome, mainly because most of Indonesian seaport's passenger terminal (operated by Indonesia Port Corporations) is not sterile from illegal visitors.[15]
Below is a list of Pelni's Passenger Ships. All of these ships (excluding KFC Jetliner) were named after mountains in Indonesia. KM Tatamailau, however, is named after Mt. Tatamailau in East Timor. 'KM' is abbreviation of 'Kapal Mesin', meaning Motor Vessel (MV) and 'KFC' is abbreviation of 'Kapal Ferry Cepat', meaning Express Ferry Ship.

Facilities (KM Kelud only)[edit]
KM Kelud (serving Jakarta-Batam-Tanjung Balai Karimun-Medan) is the ship with most complete facilities:
- Restaurant
- Wi-Fi (paid)
- Mini cinema
- Alfamart and Pelnimart store
- Gym
- Live music
KM Kelud also provides first- and 2nd-class service in addition to economy-class services, with double bedroom and four single-bedroom options, with television and better food menus.
However, not all of those facilities are always available. Some passengers wrote that access to some of those, such as mini-cinema and gym were locked by the crew.[16] Also, not all of these facilities are in good conditions, especially the toilets.[17] The ships are also often overcrowded by illegal passengers, especially after embarking from small ports with less security enforcement.[18]
Tourism services[19][edit]
In addition to regular passenger routes, Pelni provides tourism packages to various islands. Pelni introduces live-on-board concept, where Pelni ships will pick up passenger in hub ports (such as Semarang or Sorong), sail to destined tourist attraction, stay there as 'floating hotel' while passengers enjoying the tourism packages in nearby islands, and then return to hub port. For 2017, the tourism packages are:
- Karimunjava Islands (depart from Semarang)
- Raja Ampat Islands (from Sorong)
- Derawan Islands (from Balikpapan)
- Wakatobi National Park (from Baubau)
- Komodo National Park (from Labuan Bajo)
- Banda Neira (from Ambon)
in 23 June 2019, Pelni launched new tourism service with KLM (Kapal Layar Mesin/Motor Sail Ship) Pelita Arunika. Built by a traditional shipbuilder in Tanjung Bira, South Sulawesi and serving tourists in Labuan Bajo.
Cargo ships[edit]
- KM Caraka Jaya Niaga III-4
- KM Caraka Jaya Niaga III-2
- KM Caraka Jaya Niaga III-32
Other ships[edit]
These ships are owned/rented by Government of Indonesia and operated by Pelni:
Tol Laut ships[20][edit]
Tol Laut ('Sea Tollroad') is a maritime program by President Joko Widodo to improve Indonesian logistic system through providing routine and subsidized ship sailing across Indonesia. As of December 31, 2016, Pelni operated six ships for this purpose.
Cattle ship[21][22][edit]
Pelni operated one cattle ship, KM Camara Nusantara I, to transport cattle produced by farmers in Lesser Sunda Islands to Java.
Pioneer ships[23][edit]
Pioneer ships (kapal perintis) are smaller ships provided and subsidized by government to service remote islands that are commercially not profitable and too shallow for larger ship to berth. As of December 31, 2016, Pelni operated 46 pioneer ships.
International Routes[edit]
Pelni is fully serving Indonesian archipelago and currently doesn't provide regular passenger route to nearby countries, although many of its destinations are located in Indonesian outermost islands such as Batam (near Singapore), Natuna Islands (between Peninsular & East Malaysia), Nunukan Island (Near Tawau, Sabah, Malaysia), Miangas Island (Near Philippines), Jayapura, Merauke (both are close to Papua New Guinea) and Kisar Island (near East Timor).
During Indonesian occupation of East Timor, Pelni served regular services to Dili, which stopped after 1999. in 2000, Pelni also served Bitung-Davao (Philippines) route for a short period. Pelni is planned to serve ASEAN market by 2020.
Incidents and accidents[edit]
- On January 27, 1981, Pelni's ship the Tampomas II was burned and sank near Masalembu Islands in the Java Sea while sailing from Port of Tanjung Priok, Jakarta to Makassar. This ship was produced in 1956 by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and initially planned to be scrapped, but cancelled and finally sold to Indonesia with alleged marked-up price. Official said that 431 people were killed.[24] Iwan Fals and Ebiet G. Ade created song about the sinking separately.[25][26]
- On April 6, 2011, KM Fudi rolled over while being repaired in PT. PAL shipyard in Surabaya. Due to lack of cost for re-establishing her, Pelni & PAL decided to abandon the ship and allowed Yala Gada, a cooperative from Indonesian Navy to scrap her on March 15, 2016.[27]

OBJECTIVE. To report the surgical experience in the management of patients with synchronous primary lung cancer and solitary brain metastasis.
DESIGN. Retrospective cohort study.
SETTING. Regional hospital, Hong Kong.

ARLINGTON, Washington — It has been a long, cold, wet and sometimes snowy winter, but hiking season is back! Today on Ben There, Done That, we went to the Boulder River Trail to check out the amazing waterfalls.
The trailhead is in Arlington, and is a popular hike off the Mountain Loop Highway.
The trail initially started out wide, and was easy to navigate. The Boulder River itself was down the hillside to the right. There was a closer encounter further down the trail.
It was a great low-elevation, low-mileage hike. Everything was green even during the dreary winter months.
After rounding a couple of corners, the first pair of tall waterfalls appeared. They were roughly a mile and a half from the beginning of the trail. The second one was massive!
You can continue your trip through the forest, or call it a success and head back to your car.
If you have a suggestion for a Ben There, Done That story, email firstname.lastname@example.com.

#313 – Bad Karma
Well, not the latest episode now. But when I drew it I was talking about the one with Jin and Sun. No spoilers, calm down y'all.
Anyways, I took the day off from work today so I'm just relaxing down in South Jersey at the rents' pad. Looks to be a nice day out. I'm a wee bit sunburnt after my golfing excursion yesterday and no one is allowed to call me a lobster (got that D?). Easter Sunday dinner was good. I had turkey for the first time a long time. Gobble gobble gobble…

The DevOps landscape continues to mature as more enterprises continue to infuse agile practices into their existing business infrastructure. DevOps has proven itself as the most promising approach for consistently giving businesses an edge in the market. The arena has also observed a paradigm shift in the use of Docker technology, further helping to drive the adoption of agile and lean practices. According to the recent 'State of the Cloud Report' powered by RightScale, Docker usage has increased double fold, an impressive jump from 13 percent to 27 percent.
The adoption of the DevOps ecosystem has been more evident in larger enterprises, compared to their counterpart Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs). The growth trajectory indicates that technologies supporting DevOps toolchain are expected to grow by 21 percent globally by the end of 2020. Chef, Salt, Puppet, and Ansible are some noteworthy configuration tools that companies leverage the most. The toolchains enable continuous integration, deployment, and delivery to drive the DevOps approach successfully. Although, firms were focused on deploying containers over virtual machines in the past, they are now gradually deploying these containers over traditional bare metal servers.
Although the DevOps landscape is poised to thrive, few concerns still plague the adoption of a comprehensive DevOps strategy—security and lack of experience. Enterprises are slowly expanding their know-hows about DevOps, in addition to focusing on activities which assist in enhancing the experience. To help navigate the complicated DevOps landscape, our distinguished selection panel, comprising CIOs, VCs, CEOs, industry analysts, and the editorial board of CIO Applications Europe narrowed the final 20 providers that exhibit competence in delivering DevOps solutions.
We present to you CIO Applications Europe's "Top 10 DevOps Solution Providers - 2018."

WWE wrestler John Cena took to Instagram to post a sad message shortly after calling it quits with Stephanie Nicole Garcia-Colace, whose name in the ring is Nikki Bella. The 40-year-old wrestling champ posted a photo of The Simpsons' Comic Book Guy character with words 'Worst Day Ever.'
Cena and Bella had been dating since 2012 and they got engaged last year, after the 40-year-old champ went down on his knee and proposed her in front of thousands of fans at WrestleMania 33.
There were even reports that songs of the South Korean boy band BTS or Bangtan Sonyeondan will be played at Cena-Bella's wedding. However, they shocked their fans after they called off their wedding.
"While this decision was a difficult one, we continue to have a great deal of love and respect for one another," the couple told Us Weekly in a statement Sunday, April 15.
"We ask that you respect our privacy during this time in our lives," they added.
Last month, Cena told Us Weekly that relationships are not easy and it takes a lot of work. He said that there are problems, but they work on it. He had also said that he couldn't live without her.
"Relationships are hard. Don't ever think that love is easy. Love is beautiful, but we've had to come to the realization after being together for five years that love is not easy," Cena told the tabloid. "We work every day on us. We have our problems just like everybody else. Some of our problems are very public, some of them aren't. But we work every day on us. Anytime I get upset, I always just realize that I can't live without her and I love her and that's why I cave in on a lot of stuff."

Can you guess~?
Anime Expo is definitely the biggest con of the year for me and it's something I take a few months just to make cosplays for. I've been trying to keep it shush shush until I actually get some progress on it but I have 2 cosplays planned and 1 in the making! Can you guess what it is? Yes the one on the right looks like an animal, I'll be morphing it into a cool looking dress so that's just the animal~ And the circle on the top is a cosplay I don't know I'm doing yet! But I'm pretty much planning to keep a spot open for promotional purposes and/or an easy cosplay for like …day 4.
I went to Wondercon 2014 and Anime Conji 2014 this month! They were both on the same weekend so it was quite the rush to go to both on different days. I don't have many pictures at either so I won't be posting anything up for them. There is a little on my facebook though~
I'll be posting progress for my current cosplay that I'm re-doing as well soon and the new ones. I have a photoshoot soon so hopefully pictures up sometime in the next 2 weeks! I also told myself I wouldn't buy regular clothes unless they are to help my cosplays or I can't make at all xD So if I really want something… I better make the time to just make it myself lol. It'll also help clear my closet problem it seems that I have been acquiring.
I'm super excited for AX now and I just can't wait! I already have my ticket bought and just about to buy my tickets for Anime California in August and Anime LA in January! Yes they are both far off but if I know I'm going for sure why not just buy it now right? (while it's cheap too! price increases may 1st~)'
Until the next time, bai!

I used to be all about New Years resolutions when I was growing up and even into my 30s. I would always say this is my year Blah blah blah. Maybe its just getting older but now I know if you aren't ready to make a change in the instant you think about it its not going to happen. Tomorrow is Neverland. If you want to make the changes you feel will be beneficial you need to do it now. The video above is from a guy named Gary Vee. Most of his talk applies to entrepreneurship but I think there are some valuable points in there about not waiting and just doing it. Some foul language so dont blast if theres kids around.

Marlon Williams
"Each song is a character," says Marlon Williams of his self-titled solo debut: a remarkably assured and diverse nine-track tapestry, united by one of the most versatile and evocative voices you'll hear this or any other year. "I don't really ever sing out of character. Even if it's a very personal song, once it's written it doesn't belong to me. Williams won Best Male and Breakthrough Artist at the 2015 New Zealand Music Awards and was nominated for Best Blues & Roots Album at the ARIA Awards, alongside nominations for the coveted Taite Music Prize and Australian Music Prize.
His album was released internationally in February 2016 through Dead Oceans, and Williams has spent 2016 selling out shows throughout North America and UK/Europe, playing major festivals including Latitude, Longitude, and Austin City Limits, and making appearances on tastemaker radio shows like NPR, KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic, KEXP and World Cafe, plus performances on legendary TV shows Later With Jools Holland, Conan and The Late Late Show in Ireland.

Flames put perfect 2020 mark on line in Montreal
Calgary Flames at Montreal Canadiens
- The Canadiens defeated the Flames, 4-3 in overtime, on December 19 for their fourth straight win in the series. This is tied for Calgary's longest active losing streak against any team (Washington), and Montreal hasn't won five straight in this series since a six-game run from November 4, 1978-January 14, 1980.
- The Flames enter this one coming off Saturday's 4-3 win over the Oilers to push their win streak to five games. They are 8-1-1 on the road since November 23, and in the past 10 seasons they've only had one other 10-game road stretch with eight or more wins and that was from January 26-March 11, 2017.
- Each of Calgary's last five wins have come by a single goal, and it is tied with the Islanders and Capitals for the NHL's second-best winning percentage in one-goal games (excluding shootouts) at 11-2-5. The Flames ranked 11th last season in such games at 16-8-3.
- Elias Lindholm had a pair of goals Saturday -- his second two-goal game in his last three played -- as the Flames improved to 6-0-1 in the last seven games in which he scores. The only blemish was when Lindholm had a goal and as assist against the Canadiens last month.
- Montreal, which ended an eight-game skid with Saturday's 2-1 OT win over Ottawa, has scored two or fewer goals in six of seven games since New Year's Eve. As of December 30, the Habs had 13 games scoring two goals or less -- tied with the Bruins and Panthers for the sixth fewest in the NHL.
- Jeff Petry recorded his 21st assist of the season Saturday but again finished with a minus-one rating. In 26 games since November 19, Petry's minus-18 rating is better than only Edmonton's Leon Draisaitl (-22). In his first 20 games of the season, Petry had a plus-eight rating.
NHL Headlines
- Blackhawks score 2 late, lead Oilers 2-1
- Habs rally to take 2-1 lead over Pens
- D Muzzin out of hospital, out for series
- Panthers edge Isles to avoid elimination
- Garland, Hall help Coyotes down Preds
While the Calgary Flames continue to heat up, the Montreal Canadiens look to build on their much-needed first victory of 2020.
The visiting Flames try to remain undefeated in the new year while aiming for a sixth consecutive victory Monday night against the Canadiens.
Calgary ended 2019 mired in a 2-5-1 rut but have certainly welcomed 2020 in style while going 5-0-0. Elias Lindholm had two goals and Johnny Gaudreau recorded one with an assist as the Flames rallied from a goal down to beat rival Edmonton 4-3 on Saturday night.
"That was a huge win for us and now we have to keep building here," said Lindholm, who has recorded four of his team-leading 20 goals over his last three games.
"If you can help the team win, scoring goals, or any way else, it's always fun to be part of. As long as we're winning."
Calgary, which has gone from outside of playoff position in the Western Conference to in the mix for the Pacific Division lead, has won each of its 2020 games by one goal. Gaudreau has three goals and five assists over the last six games.
Netminder Cam Talbot, meanwhile, has a 2.01 goals-against average and .940 save percentage while going 4-0-0 in 2020. He also seems to be the preferred choice in the Flames' net over David Rittich, who has a 4.96 goals-against average while losing two of his last three starts.
Calgary, which won seven in a row from Nov. 27-Dec. 12, will now try to avoid a fifth consecutive defeat to Montreal. Lindholm had a goal with an assist and Gaudreau added a pair of assists while Rittich made 39 saves, but the Flames blew a 2-0 first-period lead and a late one-goal advantage during a 4-3 overtime home loss to the Canadiens on Dec. 19.
Montreal had one win since that contest before snapping an 0-7-1 slide with Saturday's 2-1 overtime victory at Ottawa. Carey Price made 41 saves and Ilya Kovalchuk scored his first goal in four games since signing with the Canadiens.
"Finally, we got a win, so it's good," said the 36-year-old Kovalchuk, who has four points with the Canadiens. "It's going to build some momentum and some confidence for sure."
That remains to be seen for Montreal, which last won consecutive games on Dec. 17 and 19. The Canadiens also need to end an 0-4-1 skid at home, where they are 0-for-12 on the power play during that stretch. They have won just twice over their last 14 home contests (2-8-4).
Calgary, meanwhile, has won three straight away from home amid an 8-1-1 road stretch.
Price, who ended his own 0-5-1 slide on Saturday, is mired in an 0-4-1 skid at home and allowed three goals in each of his last three starts there. However, he's posted a 2.14 goals-against average during a 5-0-1 stretch versus Calgary.
Teammate Max Domi (12 goals, 21 assists) scored the overtime winner against the Flames last month to kick off a six-game goal streak. However, he's failed to score in six games since that run.
Calgary star Sean Monahan is one point from 400 for his career. He's failed to record any in his last three games against Montreal.

Transylvania TV is a Web original Retro Monster Comedy Puppet Show that is not for kids. Described by one of the creators as the illegitimate child of The Munsters and Avenue Q, it stars the dysfunctional crew of a television station in Transylvania.
The main characters are:
- Count LeShoc: The Nosferatu station head.
- Batfink: LeShoc's assistant, a beatnik bat.
- Dwayne Frankenstein: The janitor
- Artie Leech: The Accountant
- Furry J. Ackermonster: The yeti intern from the USA.
- And many other supporting characters.
Upon his arrival in the station, Furry makes some modifications to the Frankenstein Device and resurrects several old television shows—making way for parodies galore.
The show is well made and has probably the best production values out of any online show, but suffers from the episodes being very, very very short. This can be particularly jarring due to how many names you see on the credits.
The episodes vary among showing station antics, the in-universe television shows, and Furry's Vlog series. It is well into its second season and is planning a public access Halloween special. Can be viewed here.
Contains Examples of:
- Beatnik
- Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti - Furry Ackermonster. Notable in that he's orange.
- Black Comedy Rape - Furry's script in episode 11 is about Batfink getting raped.
- Dysfunction Junction
- Fantastic Comedy - ...look at the premise.
- Fantastic Racism - There's an entire episode with Furry explaining various yeti stereotypes. And another where he gets angry about people perpetuating them.
- Don't forget those dug-ups
- The Internet Is for Porn - LeShoc, upon getting the internet for the first time, discovers this...
- Looks Like Orlok - In universe, LeShoc was the inspiration for Orlok from Nosferatu, so...
- Mundane Fantastic - they are most definitely Hammer Horror style monsters, but even more...they're just people.
- Muppets - this is the style of the puppets. The content, though...
- Shout-Out -- Furry J. Ackermonster is a Shout-Out to Forry Ackerman.
- Batfink is a reference to Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, and by extension his grotesque creation Rat Fink.
- The Parody
- Trolls - more prominently, though, is a yeti.
- The Unseen
- Unusual Euphemism - "YIPPIE BUCKETS!"
- Vlog Series - Furry's. Includes a whatshisface Crocker parody.
- Vampire Fiction - LeShoc was, apparently, the inspiration for all vampire fiction.
- Your Vampires Suck - LeShoc is apparently very unhappy with modern vampire fiction...considering he was the one who inspired Dracula in the first place.
- Work Com - a very bizarre one, but still a Work Com.

The major theme for the updates to Shelf throughout October is an improved user experience for some of the most used workflows, including of course searching and viewing of content.
Retaining of Search Context
One of the key benefits of using Shelf as your knowledge management solution is the ability to search across various types of content. Whether that's inside of documents such as PDFs, Word, Excel or Powerpoint, Shelf's wiki pages, image files or any other type of content you added to Shelf you'll be able to find the information you are looking for with pinpoint accuracy.
When opening specific content for the search results, depending on your user's profile settings the Gem Page gets opened in a new or the same browser tab. To avoid quickly having many tabs open, chose the option to open content in the same browser tab.
Now, you can do so and still maintain your search results on navigating back and forth. Your search term and applied contextual filters, such as tags or content types, will be maintained so you can easily open and browse various relevant search results from the same browser tab.
Other Search-related Changes
You may have noticed that we renamed the option to open the individual results inside of a Document or Wiki Page to More Results (formerly Details). When you open More Results, it puts you in a position to preview the specific matches inside of a document and then directly navigate to that location when opening the content. That same navigation remains available on the Gem Page itself when viewing the content, so you can quickly jump around to various sections of your content that are relevant to your specific search query.
Also, there is a slight change to when you're using the context menu or Quick Actionbar for a Library or Folder to open its content. Now, when selecting Open, you'll navigate into the folder or library and see it's content. When you want to open the respective Gem Page, chose View Library or View Folder.
The All-New Library Dashboard
Speaking of libraries: Shelf now features a dashboard for each of your content libraries. When you select View Library, you will be presented with a dashboard that provides quick access to the content that was most recently viewed, updated or added.
The list of library members is presented in a new way, giving you an easy way to assess who is available to collaborate on the library's content. We also performed some subtle polishing of the Manage Library Members dialog along the way.
Streamlined Access for View-only Users
Lastly, we removed a few content creation and editing options for such users that are restricted to view-only capabilities. Their experience is now more streamlined and productive with less disabled options visible on the user interface.
With that, I'd like to conclude our product update for October. All changes are already live on your Shelf instance

- Abstrakt
- There are many studies aiming at estimation of aggregate trade effects of the euro adoption by the old EU countries, which are based on the augmented gravity model. In contrast to the existing literature, we investigate whether the adoption of the common currency increases the export activity of individual firms. In particular, we refer to the new strand in the trade theory literature, based on the Melitz (2003) model, in which export performance depends on labor productivity and costs of exporting. There are already many empirical studies, based on firm level data, showing the relevance of the Melitz (2003) model. Most of those studies demonstrate that export performance positively depends on firms' characteristics such as labor productivity, spending on R&D, age of the firm, the stock of human capital or propensity to innovate, but they do not take into account the impact of the common currency on the cost of exporting. There are only few studies analyzing trade implications of euro adoption for firms' exports of "old EU" members. In our empirical paper we use the firm level data basis set up by the EBRD and the World Bank for Central and Eastern European Countries. Using the probit model, we analyze whether the accession of Slovenia and Slovakia to the Eurozone did increase the firms' propensity to export in those countries. (original abstract)

The Canadian public needs to know more is not always better when it comes to healthcare
If you knew that virtually the entire medical community was talking about an issue causing risk and harm to patients across the country, wouldn't you want to know what it is and take part in the conversation?
It's time to think even bigger about national pharmacare
Recently federal and provincial health ministers agreed to create a working group to explore how to improve Canadians' access to pharmaceutical drugs. In the wake of this, there is new optimism that pharmacare, publicly funded and universally available to Canadians, might one day come to pass.
What should be covered by our publicly funded healthcare system?
I am privileged to help patients deal with a variety of common disorders such as ear infections, pharyngitis and sinus inflammation. People suffer a great deal from these problems, especially when they are in the acute phase.

If you work in government (or a related organisation), we bring you tools that make it easy to involve citizens in decision making. People working in government have suffered too long with digital tools that aren't good enough. We're helping change that.
For citizens (and we're all citizens), our goal is better public services and a healthy, functioning democracy. The relationship between those who govern and those who are governed is evolving. Our platforms make it easier for you to be involved in policy decisions and the design of public services.
We're not some huge business that makes excessive profits from government contracts.
There are about 20 of us, based around the world (mostly in Bristol, UK and Brisbane, Australia).
We're a for-profit social venture, working for the triple goals of profit, people and planet.
We're lean because we want to be able to offer outstanding tools at prices that make sense for government, and because, well, waste makes no sense. Size hasn't limited what we can deliver: we've worked with government at the highest levels on projects that are high profile, but we're affordable for everyday use.
We started doing this in 2001. We didn't invent digital democracy, but we've been around it for a long time.
One thing that's always mattered to us (and we think sets us apart) is that our brand of digital democracy is engaging both inside and outside the government building.
It takes two to do the democracy tango. Our platforms improve the interaction between government and citizens – for everyone.
Government and software procurement too often go together like strawberries and a hole in the head (like Fred Astaire and gingivitis? Like toothpaste and orange juice?). We're determined to make it a happier situation. We're passionate advocates of:
Definitions are fiddly, but our ethos is probably closest to a social enterprise. We're an enterprise (we sell things – they're valuable) that does social good (profit at any cost is a false economy). We prize several principles in the way we operate:
We constantly meet dedicated people working in government, with a deeply-felt public service ethos which we find inspiring.
Our tools have been co-designed and co-funded by our customers. We love seeing how they're used, and customers are constantly surprising us with inventive ways to use the tools and engage citizens on issues that matter.

My home has a tiny kitchen, in all my years of homes this is probably the smallest kitchen I have ever worked in (except for those first few college apartments!)
I am looking at ideas on how to make it bigger should I decide to bite the bullet and pull cabinets out. How to I change the visual of this space when I can't change the actual footprint?
Currently my cabinets end about 10" from the ceiling, it is a silly space which does nothing except collect dust. It is too small to display my love for oversized accessories unless I want them all to lie on their sides so the new cabinets will go to the ceiling. Whether you put actual storage, wine racking or just a faux cabinet panel with a glass insert and lighting behind it, taking the cabinets up and to the ceiling is an effective visual to making a kitchen look taller and soaring.
Flow is the answer, smooth faces, low colour contrast. Currently I have white cabinets, teal and copper countertops and a lovely copper glass backsplash – I really love the combination of colours! The trouble is; 1. I didn't put these items in this house and I want my own touch here. 2. The high colour contrast draws a large, dark band around the mid-section of my kitchen making it look squat.
The answer for this is to stretch the cabinets vertically and do the same with the tile – open the space visually and draw the eye up and around at the same time. Long plank looking tiles are the rage right now and they look amazing installed vertically in a staggered brick lay pattern. Use discretion when picking colours to visually blend countertop to splash to cabinet base and remember that shiny surfaces will help bounce light around a room making it appear larger. Imagine you buy a stunning black dress with a svelte silhouette and then throw on a wide bright white belt – the attention is now all on the belt instead of the dress!
I saw a few ideas on Houzz this week as I was researching wee kitchen design, one was sleek flat faced white cabinets with elongated cabinet handles which draws the eye up and down.
The other added a smaller cabinet in a shock colour (like red) at the top of the cabinets which instantly snaps your head back as you see this visual surprise. I thought both ideas were kind of great. Another great tip if you have the space or are building is to eliminate the traditional window over the sink and opt for skylights. This way, you are able to add more wall cabinetry and much needed storage. The days of us gazing outside while washing dishes or putting a pie on the ledge to cool are all but behind us, might as well go for the extra storage.
By opting for low colour contrast, reflective surfaces and long vertical lines you will be able to create an illusion of space in your kitchen. Whether you are ordering new cabinets or putting a fresh coat on the existing ones you will see a big difference in the visual increase in square footage for the heart of your homes.
