Tom Hiddleston and Taylor Swift's breakup was one of the hot topics of discussion on social media, but that did not affect their friendship. Hiddleston and Swift ended their relationship on good terms and are still friends.
Hiddleston, who attended the Emmy Awards as a nominee for Outstanding Lead Actor in Limited Series or Movie, told People that he and Swift are still good friends. "Yes. Yes, we are," he said when asked whether he is friends with Swift or not.
Further quoting onlookers at the award show, People reported that Hiddleston was in great spirits. He took selfies and interacted with fans and attendees at the award show.
Not only was he in great spirits, Hiddleston was flirting with Quantico actress Priyanka Chopra at the award ceremony. "They were openly flirting with each other at the Emmys after-party in between snapping selfies and mingling with guests," a source told E! News.
"Tom had his arm around her and held her close. Afterwards, Tom and Priyanka talked closely and were holding hands at one point for a few moments. Priyanka fixed Tom's bow-tie and then the two kissed on both cheeks," the source added.
"Priyanka and Tom said goodbye and she told him that she will see him later. They left the event about a minute after each other," the source added.
While Hiddleston was reportedly flirting with Chopra, Swift has set her sight at Baywatch actor Zac Efron. Efron and Swift have been sending flirty messages and they even planned for a dinner, but couldn't work it out because of their busy schedules.

I couldn't experience live concerts when I was young because my Dad was very strict about my education and social life.
However, thanks to Monsters of Rock and my husband I could live my second teen years by hitting the high seas with the best hard rock/heavy metal bands.
You can also watch the video that I filmed and recently posted about the cruise.
Sebastian Bach has been my idol since I was a teenager
Monsters of Rock Cruise crowded its biggest-ever lineup on board and set sail last Feb. 22, 2016 with a roster of headlining acts that included Tesla, Y&T, Steve Vai, Queensrÿche, Sebastian Bach, Vixen, Uli Jon Roth, Helloween and Extreme. Those are just a handful of the more than 40 acts. Some of the smaller and lesser known acts gave the big boys a huge run for their money as well – Hellion, Madam X, Lillian Axe, Hardcore Superstar, etc.
Extreme concert
Miami view from the ship
The organizers of the cruise were very professional and pulled off a complex event like it was no problem at all. Everything went perfectly smooth. There was a schedule of concerts, photo ops and other events like 'cooking with the stars' and bowling matches for charity. There was so much happening at all times that it was almost difficult to plan your time to see your favorite bands and partake in the events. However, you didn't have to miss anyone in case of scheduling conflicts because all bands played at least twice.
Lillian Axe
Steve Vai
Steve Vai & Sebastian Bach
Sebastian Bach
Uli Jon Roth (the best guitarist and extraordinary person)
I have attended several Helloween concerts and I always want more!
Markus Grosskopf (Helloween bass player)
Armored Saint
Vixen are an example of what is a star on and off the stage. They are very professional and their show is perfect but when they are not playing, their interaction with the fans is fantastic. They talk with them, take pictures, and sign autographs… I am their number one fan!
Vixen Q&A
There were excursions to a private island (Great Stirrup Cay) and The Bahamas, events, activities, Q&A with the bands, access to fitness center, pools, jacuzzis, casino, disco/night club…
Doro Q&A
Tesla concert
I really enjoyed it immensely and plan to return every year.
Thanks for reading!

In collaboration with the Massimadi Festival and African Rainbow
In a series of photographs, video performances, paintings and prints, Eduardo Velázquez's #postcolonialbooty deals with personal narratives by using his own postcolonial body as a departure point to construct a gender with an autonomous form of queer sexuality and desire. In the exhibition, Velázquez's work captures the body, and its many definitions, in domestic and diasporic environments going from the Caribbean to the Bronx in New York City. #postcolonialbooty is not only addressing the violence of gender formation in the Caribbean, but also presenting a visual map where these identities are traced to a real space: digital, geographic and historical. Each piece creates an archive of symbols and different fantasy strategies in which the female (or what is seen as female) body is displayed, consumed, dreamed, and even loved. This is Velázquez's first exhibition in Montreal.
Born in the Dominican Republic, Eduardo Velázquez is a painter, performance artist and filmmaker whose work deconstructs established identities and gender roles through the mediums of paint, photography, body and video. He utilizes painting and performance as tools to investigate how desire becomes manifest in one's body, identity, and personal postcolonial history. Influenced by camp imagery, Velázquez uses intentional homoeroticism to present an intimate portrait of gender performance. He contributes to different queer activist movements in New York City, and has spoken at Jacob Riis Foundation, El Museo del Barrio, China Central Academy of Fine Arts and McGill University. He lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.Exhibitions

As a student and almost full-time banker, I need to run a tight ship. I'm currently taking 18 credits (8 classes), working 30-35 hours a week, traveling 1 weekend a month to Virginia to be with my fiancé, and planning a wedding! It's safe to say that I'm most always busy, running from one thing to the next.
On top of all that, I love to stay active. Currently, I'm training for a half marathon and hitting the gym for about 8 hours a week for strength training.
My Typical Day
My alarm goes off at 6:00 am. I wake up, make breakfast, pack my 4-5 meals for the day and head out on a run or to Anytime Fitness in Austin, TX.
I'm in class from 8:00 am – 12:00pm (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday).
Then, I head to work for a 6 hour shift at the bank.
After work, I head home to study, get my bags packed for the next day, and other odds and ends that need to be taken care of.
I'm usually away from my house for 12+ hours a day so meal prepping on Saturday and Sundays has been key in making the best choices in what I consume daily. Snacks are also essential when I'm on-the-go. Some of my favorites are rice cakes & peanut butter, quest bars, and protein shakes.
My Favorite Meals
Lately, I have increased my carb intake to lots of brown rice, sweet potatoes, and white rice. I eat a balanced meal of 93-99% lean ground turkey, chicken, and beef. Regular chicken breasts, lots of vegetables, and salads. My go to breakfast is 1 whole egg, 2 egg whites, 2 mushrooms, and 1/2 of spinach. YUM!
My Workout Schedule
I focus on one main body part per day. Currently my schedule looks like this.
- Monday – Leg day with focus on quads and glutes
- Tuesday – Back
- Wednesday – Rest
- Thursday – Leg day again with a focus on quads, hamstrings, and calves
- Friday – Chest
- Saturday – Arms and Shoulders – triceps, biceps, and shoulders (super sets)
- Sunday – Yoga and Martial arts strength and conditioning class
Usually, I do 3-4 sets of 12-15. I lift heavy and have contributed this to my lean body shape.
I am very busy but I am always in bed by 10:00 pm unless I have a deadline or huge test to prepare for. I have found that my body needs a full 8-9 hours of sleep to be fully rested and able to take my long, busy days.
Making the Commitment
This lifestyle isn't 'easy' and it took me awhile to figure out what works best for me and my schedule. I've been on this journey for 2 years now.
I love this lifestyle, and for me, working out in the morning works best. If I waited until the evening after I had already been up for 12 hours, I know I wouldn't give it my full effort. Working out in the morning also allows me to bring the positivity throughout my whole day. If I have already worked out, why would I go stop at a fast food place and ruin the hard work I put in?

The tale of Boston actors — all of them outside the mainstream — staging a tiny production of Oedipus Rex expands beyond showbiz soap opera to address global issues in this ambitious work by the playwright of The Dying Gaul, Reckless, Prelude to a Kiss and The Light in the Piazza. Previews began Feb. 17 at PH's mainstage Off-Broadway.
Mark Wing-Davey directs a company that includes The cast features Lee Pace, Mary Shultz, Rob Campbell, Rosemarie DeWitt, Daniel Eric Gold and Ana Reeder.
Part of the script and production's theatrical conceit includes overlapping dialogue as the audience processes the multiple explorations (personal and professional) between the artists. A rehearsal hall is the main setting, but local bars, characters' homes and the Boston theatre's stage are conjured in the highly theatrical production.
The play "commences with auditions for an out-of-town production of Sophocles' Oedipus Rex and progresses through rehearsals, where backstage relationships among the six-member cast threaten to sabotage the production," according to Playwrights Horizons. "As rehearsals continue, hidden truths emerge, and reality begins to emulate Oedipus in startling ways."
Designers are Douglas Stein (set), Marina Draghici (costumes), Jennifer Tipton (lighting) and John Gromada (sound). For information, call (212) 279-4200 or visit www.playwrightshorizons.org.
Mark Wing-Davey recently directed Henry V in Central Park and a unique dual staging of King Lear at PlayMakers Rep in North Carolina (audiences chose either the entire First Folio version at more than three hours or a trimmed version, on different nights).
Wing-Davey is perhaps still best known for his memorable work on Caryl Churchill's Mad Forest, in which both Campbell and Shultz appeared. Other credits include the Public Theater's 36 Views and The Skriker.

From Yarmouth, Maine, USA:
My 17 year old son has basically been non-compliant with regard to his diabetes care for approximately the last nine months. For the school year, he lives in the Springfield/Amherst, Massachusetts area and we are looking for a family therapist who is good with teens, is also a CDE, and practices in that area. Do you have any contacts or suggestions?
Unfortunately it is very hard to find therapists that are knowledgeable about diabetes management and it is even more rare that the therapist would also be a CDE. I do have the name of one therapist in Western MA, but I don't know if this number is still current. His name is Dr. Paul Fleicsmann and his number was 413-253-2600. I believe he has experience working with teens with diabetes. I would also ask for a mental health referral from your son's diabetes health care team. You may also want to call the local American Diabetes Association office and/or the local Juvenile Diabetes and Research Foundation chapter in western Massachusetts and ask for referrals.

SureCall Introduces 3 new Boosters
SureCall is one of the top leader in market of cell phone booster technology and good news is that they have announced three new models recently. SureCall is first company to introduce signal booster which can boost three different types of signals at one time i.e. cell phone signal, HDTV signal and WIFI signals. First model is SureCall Fusion 7 which boost all kinds of these signals. Rest two boosters are EZBoost models which are capable of boosting 2G/3G/4G signals and good thing is that they have made installation too simple for these boosters as they have eliminated the need of outdoor/roof-mounted antenna.
SureCall have decided to keep rates very competitive and market friendly. Fusion 7 will be available for less than $1200 and which is quite reasonable price for such configuration. One of two EZBoost booster could be priced at $800, this is 5Band booster, another one can be priced at $400 and that one is dual band booster. It is expected that these three boosters will be launched in starting of March.

Jamie Thompson is an MVP, but more to the point he is a very experienced SSIS developer and a prolific contributor to the SQL Server community. Surely this is why he was awarded an MVP by Microsoft.
His recent blog post on GeoFlow (an add-in for Excel that delivers 3D visualisation and story telling) has raised the issue of whether MVP's should criticise Microsoft.
I think its fair to say that the consensus from respondents in the blog comments, is yes criticise if its warranted, but don't get into the habit of always moaning. Positive feedback is as crucial as negative feedback. You could also argue negative feedback can have a positive effect if handled appropriately (both the giving and receiving).
I should also point out that the suggestion that MVP's should not criticise Microsoft (that I saw) came from another MVP (not an employee of MS, I assume). Please read the blog post and comments if you want to be sure as there are many and I skimmed some of the entries.
Many of the comments were from IT professionals trying to deliver mobile BI solutions to their organisation or clients and were expressing their frustration at the lack of Microsoft mobile BI support. Jamie's blog discusses the lack of integration of the GeoFlow project offerings into the core MS BI delivery platform.
I expect every MVP at times, will question if the role is good for them. I guess it is very beneficial, for mostly intangible reasons. I imagine being a good MVP takes a huge amount of time and personal cost to attend conferences, user groups etc. and reasons to accept or decline the role would take into account many more things than the freedom to criticise Microsoft.
What about biting the hand of your employer or line manager, which brings me to the other side of the coin, perhaps kissing the hand that feeds you?
Within an IT team or department, the trouble with always moaning is you can become a miserable git, stop enjoying your work and more importantly, be too busy whinging and miss opportunities to deal with the initial cause of the moaning. This is crudely referred to as 'having your head up your …". No-one will want to talk to you, work with you and you can forget anyone listening to you. Even when you are right. Think Peter and the Wolf.
But the opposite can be just as unproductive.
Beginning of the week – "Any issues with meeting the deadline for your [insert project deliverable] ?" asked the project manager.
"No its all good" answered the programmer.
End of the month "why is your [project deliverable] not ready?" asked the project manager.
"Because [insert excuse]" said the programmer.
The excuses are mostly irrelevant at this stage for the project manager. Project managers [should] want to intervene and resolve issues before deadlines are missed. Firefighting when its too late is okay every now and then but it becomes soul destroying when its endemic. I bet it's often at the heart of good IT professionals moving onto to greener pastures.
Never speaking out could be considered cruising along on Prozac or sailing with the "it's all good" and "have a great day" crowd. Or maybe its a stubborn streak, preventing you from admitting that something is defeating you. Perhaps you are in danger of being labelled "doesn't play well with others"? Maybe you are not at your best at the moment and need a break?
Or maybe you dont think its your place to question the decisions made by your boss?
I strongly believe that if you think a directive handed down by your team lead, project manager or IT boss is wrong (good luck if all three of these lines can directly request you to do tasks!!!), or misses something, you should challenge it in a respectful way at the right time. Its also the best way to learn. If you happen to be wrong or perhaps didn't fully understand the requirement etc. a good team lead or architect will take the time to explain and get you up to speed. If you aren't brave enough to speak up and admit you don't understand or question a proposal or task, you wont learn.
Maybe you aren't wrong. Often there is no black or white answer and every idea should get consideration (maybe 30 seconds perhaps 30 minutes). Managers and design leads / architects aren't perfect. They (should) make considered use of the team they are working with to collaborate and produce robust solutions. The end result of the combined thinking of everybody who can contribute will generally be better than the work of an individual.
However, it is their job to lead and propose solutions. But as I said they aren't perfect. So by sitting on your hands and never challenging those above you in hierarchy, experience, competence or pecking order, you are doing yourself, them and your employer a dis-service.
Sadly, some managers lack the experience or humility to permit "underlings" to contribute to the overall decision making process of a department. These types can be identified by the habits of not conducting meetings with more than 1 person (maybe 2 if pushed), having favourites amongst their line managers (who often turn out to be 'yes' people or are playing the long game and dont rock the boat). They usually don't respect lines of authority (ie. go around your team leader with requests) and they are often micro-managers and cant delegate.
It is generally very difficult to find opportunties to offer constructive criticism in these types of environments. Maybe you will be lucky to be working within a tight team and your team lead or line manager shields you from these issues.
So if you have a supportive workplace, where top down, bottom up collaboration is encouraged, then work with it and find solutions to vendor shortcomings. Get hold of the GeoFlow add-in and innovate. I am sure thats what many will get on and do.
However, if the traits I described ring bells for you and you are feeling frustrated or stifled then you need to weigh up your options. Maybe you are considering going around your direct report to offer constructive criticism up the line. If so, its probably already too late and you should be planning your next career move. Your job might offer security and stability, but being a down trodden miserable or stressed IT professional isn't going to make you happy and wont produce good code in the long run.
Above all, don't sit on your hands and moan in the tea room (or even worse, to your significant other).
Get involved and contribute.

I submitted a claim for a kitchen fire. Can you recommend people to do the work?
Who you hire to do repair work on your home is your choice, and we usually recommend you ask family and friends for referrals. However, COUNTRY Financial would also be happy to provide you with names of contractors.

Spite and Malice is a card game in which a large group of people can all play together. The game can be adapted to 2 players, but is most fun when played with larger group of 6 or 8 people at a family gathering. You don't need to add any spite or malice in, just play all your cards quickly and let your opponents grovel at your feet. Here's how to play.
Set Up
Remove the Jokers and shuffle all the decks together. Add 1 deck per person playing the game. Use old casino cards or buy a bulk amount of playing cards from a warehouse or close-out store like Costco, Sam's or Big Lots.
Allow each person to count out 2 piles of cards. Count out 1 pile of 20 cards and another pile of 5 cards. Pass both decks to your left. The person to your left will play with the cards you dealt.
Place the 5 card pile in your hand and place the 20 card pile to your left center in front of you. Flip the top card of the 20 card pile face up on top of the pile.
Place the remaining cards in a pile in the center of the table. This will be the draw pile.
The Object and Procedures
Be the first person to get rid of all 20 cards in the pile to your left center.
Get rid of your cards when it is your turn by making piles of cards beginning with an ace and going all the way up to a queen. You can start as many different piles scattered throughout the table as your cards will allow. But remember that anyone can play on any pile.
The King is a wild card and can be used to substitute any number except the Ace.
Use the cards in your hand and the cards on the table to play the 20 card pile.
Discard after each turn to the right of your 20 card pile. You will be allowed four discard piles and may play the top card of each of the piles when it is your turn.
Choose a player to begin. Start each turn by drawing enough cards so that there are 5 cards in your hand. Play the top face up card from the 20 card pile, your discard pile, or from your hand. Start by playing an ace to begin the game. If you do not have an ace, discard in one of the four imaginary slots next to the 20 card pile.
Play moves to the person on your left. Collect enough cards to equal five cards in your hand and play on any of the piles out on the table. If there is a pile with an ace, play a 2, then a 3, and so forth until the pile hits a Queen. Once the pile hits the Queen, the pile is dead and flipped upside down.
Play the top card that is face up on the 20 card pile first. If you can play this on one of the open piles, play it and then flip the next card in the 20 card pile face up. Try to use your hand cards and discarded cards to get the open piles up to this number so you can play it. Continue on until you have played all 20 cards in the 20 card pile. You have won.
Have losing players count out one penny for each card left in the 20 card pile and pay it to the winner. Omit this step if you don't want to lose you cents.
You will discard one card into each of the four imaginary discard piles in front of you and then you must start discarding on top of the 4 piles. You cannot play a buried card so stack the cards from high to low so you can play them.

- Frequently Asked Questions
is Whitley Manufacturing?
Whitley Manufacturing Co., Inc. is one of the nation's premier
builders of modular buildings. Founded in the 1940s, Whitley
is an independent corporation based in South Whitley, Indiana,
with factories in the states of Washington and Indiana. Whitley
has produced over 35,000 modular units for customers in Europe
and the Americas.
What is Modular?
is just a different method of building offices, health care
centers, schools and almost any other type of building you
can imagine. Modular construction employs factory techniques
to improve quality, shorten manufacturing time, and reduce
cost. While it is not quite an assembly line approach to manufacturing
buildings, the economies of scale, increased worker efficiencies,
and reduction of delays from weather or vandalism add up to
greater speed at less cost.
Are there other significant
There is one other difference worth noting: flexibility. A
modular building is constructed to be quickly assembled and
easily disassembled. You can reconfigure a modular school
to meet changing student numbers. That is unlikely with a
standard brick and mortar facility. In fact, with modular,
you can disassemble and move the entire building to another
location and be back in business within a relatively short
period of time.
So how does it look?
drive by modular buildings every day. They can look just like any
other building around. Exteriors can be as wide ranging as
any other style of construction. Interiors can have brand
name cabinets, plush carpets and all of the other hardware
associated with any other building. Because of the efficiencies
of modular construction you may be able to upgrade the exterior
look and interior décor. View
the Building Gallery.
is the construction process like?
Whitley works through a network of independent distributors.
The distributor helps you arrive at a floor plan, helps with
material selections, works closely with us to create drawings,
to obtain the necessary government approvals and to make sure
the finished building is delivered, assembled and finished the
way you expect. Tour
the Factory.
Can we buy direct?
In short,
no. The
distributor has the experience to represent you at every step
of the process. They save you considerable time, money and
headaches. Anyone who has built a home knows the complexity of
the process, so distributors get more done faster for less.
It is simply the most efficient way to go. We
can help you find distributors near you.
I need an architect?
We have an experienced in-house design and engineering staff
which alleviates the need for architects. We do, however,
work with architects and value their services.
How long does construction
Two months, maybe
three, perhaps longer for more complicated
buildings. For example, your distributor may have a small
Whitley Building that is ready to lease on 24-hours notice; a temporary
office. If your needs are more elaborate it takes a
month to two months to design the building, choose colors and obtain
approvals. After that, construction takes a week or
two and on-site assembly a few days more. It is a relatively rapid process.
In fact, we can begin construction of your building while
you are preparing its site. You can't do that with old-style
construction. That advantage, called concurrent construction, alone saves weeks
or more.
What size buildings
can be manufactured?
They range from small "in-plant" offices to over
100,000 square foot multi-story office complexes. We have
built schools, office centers, child care facilities, health
care centers, MRI labs, airport terminals, and more. In fact,
we have thousands of floor plans already on file.
Do your buildings meet code?
Yes. In many cases they exceed today's codes by offering greater
energy efficiencies and weather resistance. They are designed
to meet ADA requirements and fire safety rules as well.
Does transportation of the finished building eat up other
No. The cost of transporting the building to your site is
quoted with the initial price.Old-style builders also transport
materials and supplies to
the site. The difference is that their materials
are vulnerable to theft and vandalism while they await use.
Our buildings arrive secure and ready to finish.
Can you move or rearrange our building? Yes. Each module is a unit. There are points where
electrical, plumbing, ventilation and other systems meet.
They can be quickly disconnected, mate lines cut and the building
lifted from its foundation. Then a truck hauls it to the next
site where the process can be reversed, quickly. Adding another
section to an existing building can also be finished faster
than by conventional builders.

Everything that happens at the food bank is volunteer driven. So without them we couldn't do what we do.– Katie Haddad, Volunteer Coordinator of the Hoosier Hills Food Bank
Hoosier Hills Food Bank collects donations for organizations that provide free meals. Farms, grocery stores and school cafeterias contribute items that would go to waste. Hoosier Hills also holds food drives at churches, businesses and schools, and they grow organic vegetables in their garden.
"The mission of the Hoosier Hills Food Bank is to collect, store and distribute food to those who are ill or needy, seeking emergency food assistance," says Katie Haddad, the Volunteer Coordinator.
At the food bank, volunteers organize the donations, and then agencies who distribute meals come in to choose what they would like. The food is either free or sold at 16 cents per pound.
"We act as a shopping facility for agencies in town who have feeding programs, such as food pantries, soup kitchens, low-income day care centers," says Johnson. The food bank services over 100 agencies.

World War II just isn't cool anymore. Thanks to market saturation and the immense popularity of Activision's Modern Warfare titles, there was no way that Electronic Arts could have gotten away with putting out another run-of-the-mill title where you pick up a Springfield and shoot Nazis in the face.Â
So it is that Medal of Honor has, perhaps somewhat shamelessly, followed in the footsteps of Modern Warfare and dragged itself, kicking and screaming, into the present day. Trading the Springfields for PKMs and the Nazis for them thar brown people, Medal of Honor goes even further than Call of Duty in providing an authentic modern warfare experience.Â
Here's the only real problem ... authentic modern warfare isn't all that great, and that's why we play videogames.

Here's the only real problem ... authentic modern warfare isn't all that great, and that's why we play videogames.
Medal of Honor (Xbox 360 [Reviewed], PlayStation 3, PC)
Developer: Danger Close, DICE
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Released: October 12, 2010
Rather than simply conjuring up a fictional terrorist threat in an undisclosed middle eastern country, Medal of Honor pulls no punches with its Afghanistan setting. The Taliban are the enemy, the US Marines are the good guys, and that's all there is to it.
Medal of Honor's single-player campaign attempts to tell a story, but it doesn't lay the narrative on too thick and you'll be easily forgiven for not knowing who any of the characters are by the end of the title. There aren't really any bad guys apart from the generic Taliban forces, and there isn't really any reason for what you're doing, apart from the obvious fact that you're in a war. Which I guess is the only reason that real soldiers have.
This, however, is Medal of Honor's biggest issue. It does a remarkable job of recreating an authentic war experience, coming much closer to emulating popular FOX News Iraq footage than the Modern Warfare series has managed. Unfortunately, what is Medal of Honor's biggest achievement is also its biggest drawback. Real war isn't very entertaining from a game perspective. It's slow paced, it's disaffecting, and it's rather ponderous. Terrifying for a real soldier, absolutely, but somewhat boring for a gamer.
Medal of Honor trades out Call of Duty's over-the-top combat situations and absurd storyline for a methodical, grounded, situation-driven (rather than story-driven) approach. There are certainly some explosions and epic battles, but even when the intensity is raised, the game still feels rather muted and even alienating. This isn't helped by the fact that the game regularly halts the action in order to make you spot and mark targets, or engage in long, slow, thermal sniping sections.
Arguably the campaign's biggest failings are the moments that attempt to be emotional and memorable, but simply come off as cloying. Putting some slow string music as your squad is overwhelmed seems a meaningless gesture when you've been given no reason to feel anything for any of the squadmates. The supporting characters don't sport any personality and spend most of their time saying "Hooah," so it comes across as cynical whenever the game tries to artificially stimulate a reaction from the player, especially during the incredibly mawkish ending which feels increasingly more awkward as it lays on the military tonguebathing.
This isn't to say that Medal of Honor isn't a decent game. The shooting is very tight and competent, and the gameplay is surprisingly varied, with the dirtbike and helicopter sections standing out. Several of the stealthier missions are also quite immersive and engaging, far moreso than the action-heavy sequences. The guns all have a nice kick to them and each one feels different, not to mention satisfying. Ammo is never an issue either, as you can always request some from squadmates. It seems a little touch, but it makes all the difference to the gameplay and means you can concentrate on fighting, rather than looking around for ammo boxes.
The campaign is short, taking anywhere between four and six hours to beat depending on how efficient you are, and while there are difficulty levels and a "Tier 1" challenge mode, there isn't much to return for. If you're buying this game for the single-player, prepare for disappointment.
Fortunately, of course, the main focus is the multiplayer mode, and it has to be said that the action is kicked up a gear. However, the campaign's methodical approach has been traded for straight chaos, and not always the good kind. With twenty-four players on big open maps, it becomes a meat grinder the likes of which not even Call of Duty has managed. The "spawn kill die spawn kill die spawn kill die" mentality that Call of Duty perfected has been taken to an exaggerated effect in Medal of Honor, with death coming from all angles, and usually from someone you never knew was there.
Players can choose one of three classes, the standard Rifleman, the close-combat Special Ops and the long-ranged Sniper. As players earn progression points and level up, they earn new weapons and attachments for each class. It's a lighter system than Call of Duty's, but it does the job and will provide just enough depth for those looking to really get into the game.
Unfortunately, Medal of Honor just doesn't have the staying power of its rivals. Its gametypes are all fairly standard, and with such open, chaotic maps the novelty is likely to wear off rather quickly for most players who are used to more robust experiences.
I hate to say it, but Medal of Honor's multiplayer mode really does just feel like a lighter, less engaging Modern Warfare. It's enjoyable enough, and certainly has its fun moments, but it just doesn't have anything special or unique. It has the killstreaks, the fast pace, and the progression system of Call of Duty, with none of the soul. It feels like a game that was made for the sole purpose of attempting to be better than Call of Duty, and that transparency has led to a game that doesn't feel as good by a long shot.
Medal of Honor is a solid title. It satisfies and it provides a decent bit of fun, but the best you can say is that it's okay. It's not a great example of the FPS genre, it has nothing to say, and there's really not a lot of meat on its bones when you get down to the nitty gritty. If you really, really love war games and you literally cannot wait for a few weeks until Call of Duty: Black Ops is out, then this game will at least swallow a weekend for you.
More discerning players, however, might want to just wait. Medal of Honor isn't bad at all, but it simply doesn't do anything that hasn't been done better, except for create a realistic and immersive war situation
Realistic and immersive war situations, however, don't make for great gameplay.
Score: 6.5 -- Alright (6s may be slightly above average or simply inoffensive. Fans of the genre should enjoy them a bit, but a fair few will be left unfulfilled.)

Government officials and a fisherman detained by the Philippines for eight days earlier this month yesterday argued over whether the fisherman had been arrested for poaching in the Philippines' territorial waters.
Tsai Po (蔡波), who was arrested by Philippine officials 40m off Ditarem, an islet in the northern Philippine province of Batanes, on Sept. 3 on charges of illegal entry and poaching, told a press conference yesterday that he was only trespassing because he needed assistance due to a mechanical problem on his motor-powered raft.
The Philippine Coast Guard forced him to kneel down for four hours and framed him for poaching by placing lobsters and fish in a barrel on his boat, said Tsai, who was released after the Philippines agreed to deal with the case using administrative laws rather than judicial proceedings in bilateral negotiations.
Democratic Progressive Party Legislator Chen Ting-fei (陳亭妃), organizer of the press conference, said trespassing while seeking assistance and poaching are very different things, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Fisheries Agency chose to believe the Philippine side of the story.
"The government's position has been very clear. We protect our fishermen, but not those who have violated regulations," Wang Mao-cheng (王茂城), a technical specialist at the Fisheries Agency, said, adding that the government would negotiate for the release of fishermen detained while operating in the nation's exclusive economic zone.
However, Taiwanese fishermen are not allowed to fish within the 12 nautical miles (22.2km) of Philippine territorial waters, Wang said.
If Tsai's raft had broken down near Small Lanyu, an uninhabited volcanic islet about 5km southeast of Lanyu Island, as Tsai claimed, the vessel would have drifted toward Okinawa rather than the Philippines, Wang said.
Department of East Asian and Pacific Affairs Director-General Benjamin Ho (何登煌) said Philippine officials adhered to a bilateral agreement not to adopt use of force measures and that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had done the best it could to prevent Tsai from being tried by the Philippine judiciary.

Carey Baptist Exchange
Charlotte and I have arrived at Carey Baptist Grammar School on Monday. We met with Lee Rainey and had an orientation around the school and we have our yellow dresses which are a bit different from home. Yesterday we came back from the airport and I then off to a family barbecue. My family is super nice and I can't wait to spend six weeks with them.
Wednesday: At school everyone is practicing for house music right now in preparation for Friday. My house is Newnham and we are doing Dynamite for the song. All of the students and teachers are super sweet and friendly, I'm having such a blast already and I can't wait for the two weeks of camp where I will get to spend even more time with my new friends. I am doing some subjects that I don't do at home like Drama and Viscom and Literature, it is really awesome and interesting to try something different.
Friday: House music was awesome!!!! I got to school in the morning and my exchange host Lauren didn't have a partner because she was sick so I had to step in and learn the dance in one day! House music bought such a good vibe into the year and I think everyone enjoyed it. This weekend my host family and I are going away to Lake Eildon and hopefully the weather will get better and we can go out onto the water.
Sunday: My weekend was so amazing, the weather wasn't too good and the wind was quite harsh but when you were in the sun it was actually lovely. On Saturday we went out on their boat and Gerald (Lauren's dad) went wake boarding and me and the girls went on the tubes. The wind was actually quite harsh and that was what made you cold in the end. The water was fresh and felt very nice against my skin. They showed me around the area and it was gorgeous, the lake looked majestic like in a photo and I had some really lovely times with Lauren's family.

I am SO on my old stomping ground....with my kids...what could be better?
We started rehearsals on Monday February 4. I must say that I was so excited to walk into the West Institute and rehearse! My kids didn't have a problem not sitting by me (but then again, does that surprise you?) Piper sat by her fellow baby spiders and Teague sat by his Mother Goose. Before we started we talked about the story of Charlotte's Web and of the Author, EB White. According to some, it is believed the Homer Zuckerman is EB White. Interesting. Who, doesn't love this story? I remember my mom reading it to me when I was about 6. After we discussed the story, we had to go around the room and introduce ourselves, and if we were younger than 30, we had to state our age. I was the first one that was over 30 that did an introduction, so I said, "Hi, my name is Karlyn Salazar and I will be playing Edith Zuckerman, and I am over 30." Then Xan, the director said, "But how old were you for your first year of youth theatre?" I just sat there and did some calculating in my head and came back with the response, "Um....my first year, I think I was about 10!" Everybody in the room gasped! Am I that old? I don't think so. It ended up that there are about four of us that are over 30. One person that is over 30 is Boyer, he will be playing the old sheep....he is 85. The youngest in the cast is Teague, 4.
I had rehearsal again on Tuesday, but the kidlets didn't. I loved being there hanging out with the teenagers and the Actors Training Program majors, but most of all I LOVED watching Xan direct. I forgot how incredible he is, after all, it has been quite a few years.

With the schools now back and the Easter holidays now what feels like a distant memory, we are now looking forward to the lighter nights and the approaching summer.
At this time of the year, like businesses, Police Scotland reflects on its performance over the past financial year, particularly in relation to our identified local priorities.
In February, I provided a formal performance update to our elected members at the Buchan Area .
Although these were not the year-end statistics, they provided members with an insight into how well we are doing.
The picture across the majority of areas was very positive with serious assaults down almost a quarter from the previous year.
Robberies were down over a third, while housebreakings dropped by just over a quarter in the same period.
Thefts by Shoplifting were down by almost a fifth with the vast majority of these crimes being detected.
I am conscious that the year-end figures may not show such significant reductions but I am confident that the figures will show that we are having an impact on crime and disorder and that Buchan continues to be one of the safest places to live, work and visit.
As I said to the elected members, this does not mean that we will be complacent.
There are areas that we can continue to improve and our focus remains on preventing crime before it even occurs.
We have not been able to achieve this without your assistance and that of our policing partners.
As well as crime and disorder statistics, I am also keen to get your views on how well you feel policing is being delivered in our communities and what our local priorities should be.
I would therefore encourage you to go to the 'Your View Counts' section of the Police Scotland website and complete the online survey when it opens again shortly.
You may also have seen in the media that Police Scotland have released our ten years strategy, entitled Policing 2026.
The strategy has been developed to consider how we will need to adapt policing to meet the emerging and projected needs of communities across Scotland over the next decade.
The strategy is available online and there is an opportunity to provide your views on it and how you feel policing should be delivered in the years ahead.

Some of B schools and even new IIMs have replaced GD with WAT hence, Written Ability Test has also become a tool to test MBA aspirant on assessing overall communication skills and personality, so it is also equally important and crucial component of MBA admission process.
Read WAT topic: Start with the end in mind
Stephen Richards Covey wrote a book called "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" where he mentioned that the second habit of highly effective people is that they always begin with the end in mind.
One question that we ought to ask ourselves is "Where do I see myself in the next ten years?" And we should ensure that our actions and decisions help us reach our long term goals. If we are unsure of where we are going or our destination, it is highly unlikely that we will reach our destination.
In the last few years, we have seen concerned citizens of India and honest politicians working hard to end corruption in India. Corruption is widespread and it is definitely not easy to eradicate it. However, thanks to their clear vision, we are one step closer to being a corrupt-free nation. In 2011, Anna Hazare and Arvind Kejriwal managed to upload the 23rd version of the Jan Lokpal Bill draft and on February 3, 2014, the Delhi Cabinet cleared the draft Jan Lokpal Bill. And today, the Aam Aadmi Party is planning to pass this Bill in a special session at the Indira Gandhi Stadium.
The reason why Arvind Kejriwal and his team have been successful so far is because they started with the end in mind. Their goal was to free India of corruption and their actions thus far have helped them in coming close to their goal.
Why do teachers ask students "What do you want to be when you grow up?" It is because they want to help students understand their goals so that they work towards their goals and fulfill their dreams.
William Clement Stone, a businessman, philanthropist and an author, once said, "Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve". So, always think about your long term goals and your actions will help you achieve your dreams.
Stay informed, Stay ahead and stay inspired with MBA Rendezvous

Darlington manager Mick Tait was delighted with his players, but far from happy at referee Mike Ryan.
After 10-man Quakers held on for a point in a thriller, Tait moaned: "At times the referee gave us more problems than Hartlepool did.
"The penalty was an accident not a deliberate foul.
"But I could accept that and Valentine's red card if the referee applied the same standards to both sides."
Seven yellow cards were dished out, five to Darlington, as referee Ryan took his tally of bookings for the season to 103.
Of the match Tait said: "We played without wingers to be more direct, and it worked.
"We turned the Pool defence in the first half and could have led by more than one goal.
"Sometimes we played too much football, but today we got the ball forward earlier and caused Pool a lot of problems.
"When we went behind and lost (Ryan) Valentine we battled magnificently.
"A lot of teams would have had the stuffing knocked out of them, but not us.
"Andy Collett was magnificent in goal, and deserves to play at a higher level.
"A couple of times I thought Pool were bound to score and was waiting for the net to bulge, but Andy did what we know he is capable of.
"I said before the game that I felt our players were as good as Pool's, and today they proved it."

Odd dressed for the occation.Oscar very pale,sick?ReplyDelete
If he was sick, Victoria would not have taken him out of home. He just looks like that, he is perfectly healthy :)ReplyDelete
Nice family photo. Estelle is growing up from being just a little girl and it's possible to see more of the person she will become. She's a charmer.ReplyDelete
It's rather cute how Oscar really hates the camera ( I'm sure we all know a child like that).

Sketch to BIM: A Design Workflow Philosophy - Part 1Hosts: Wes Gardner, Assoc. AIA, Architectural Industry Specialist, Vectorworks, Inc.
For 1 AIA LU credit, take this test after watching our webinar.
Continued advances in computer technology are allowing designers to explore new ideas and complex forms of expression. For this reason, Building Information Modeling, is becoming a natural extension of the design process. And while in the past there has been a separation between creative design and the creation of BIM models, which often complicates transitioning sketches and ideas into a BIM workflow, this webinar with Wes Gardner, Senior Architect Product Specialist, will examine a variety of technologies to help designers move their ideas into reality. Attendees will examine the process of design-focused architects and how their approaches can be applied to a given project.
Learning Objectives:
- Examine best practices of design-focused architects regarding new technologies.
- Evaluate how BIM is a natural extension of the design process.
- Analyze the limitations and potential of BIM technologies.

Ever wonder about the history of the majestic Moreton Bay fig tree outside the South Pasadena Public Library? It certainly seems primordial — like a remnant of our earth's distant past. Little Bit once said that she thought the tree surely must have been around when dinosaurs roamed the earth.
"Many years ago while driving around town, the elder Bill Kloezeman used to tell his son about all the work he'd done around town, including his planting of the Moreton Bay Fig. Another well-known project of Kloezeman was the annual placement of a lighted star on the top of the water storage tower atop Bilicke Hill in the Altos de Monterey.
At the time of the planting the Moreton Bay Fig was a young potted tree and about 6 inches in diameter. When he planted it, the senior Kloezeman was working for the City's Street Department. Bill (Sr.) worked for the City of South Pasadena from 1926 until he retired in 1972, a remarkable stretch of more than 45 years. While working for the Street Department in the 20's and 30's, Kloezeman planted many other large trees in town that are still around as well. Later he also worked for the Fire Department in the 40's and the Water Department in the 50's, 60's, and early 70's, until he retired as a Water Service Foreman on January 15, 1972. Willem "Bill" Kloezeman passed away on September 7, 1981."

Published at Monday, October 07th, 2019 - 14:16:13 PM. Storage Cabinet. By Foluke Okpara.
I think there are a handful of ways the cabinet could be improved but I can not complain about the finished product. It looks good, its strong, stable, and it securely holds the heavy gear I packed it with. I am considering buying a second one
This cabinet is a great addition to my garage. The adjustable shelving is a bonus which allows taller items to be stored and off the garage floor. Perfect for keeping odds and ends in

This Communication Arts middle school program continues the basics through the communication skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking.
It is designed to help students become better writers and speakers through electronic and published projects. Computer labs are available to assist students with their multi-media projects. Technology is embedded in all subject areas during the instructional day. Students are regular users of technology and become technically fluent. They discover how to make technology work for optimum learning. Students also create, produce and edit daily broadcasts in a closed-circuit television studio. Creative writing and public speaking is emphasized.
SVN: Tell us about your background and how you decided to start teaching TV/Video production?
LB: I was in TV production classes in high school and fell in love with it. My degree is actually in broadcast journalism and I worked in the TV industry for a few years before I started teaching. I am certified to teach English but when the broadcast position came open in my parish, I jumped at the opportunity to teach it. I became a teacher with hopes of someday teaching broadcast!
SVN: How did you obtain initial funding for your program? How do you fund the class now?
LB: We are still in the early stages of our program which is funded by a federal grant.
SVN: Did you have equipment available?
LB: We started with an empty classroom and no equipment. In the beginning I used a green sheet, flip camera and pinnacle software. Thanks to the grant, we now have a studio equipped with lights, cameras, teleprompters and a Tricaster system.
SVN: How many kids are in the TV/Video Production classes? How is it broken down? Is it a multi-year program?
LB: Since we are still in the first year of the program these are things we are working out. Currently I pull kids everyday during their P.E. or Computer Lab hours to come in and shoot the morning announcements. Everyone in the school will have a chance to anchor the daily broadcast. I am assembling a broadcast team that will come in once or twice a week during their P.E. or computer lab hours to work on stories for the broadcast and run the equipment.
SVN: Can you tell us a little more about the sessions: How long are the classes? How many students? What types of projects?
LB: Our classes are 50 minutes long. I pull 3-5 students per hour depending on their class schedule. Our projects focus on the four core subjects. We chronicle what is going on in their core classes and tie in GLE's with the segments. The idea is to have students teaching the rest of the school about what they've learned in their classes.
SVN: How many kids to do the morning news broadcast? Do you also do a weekly broadcast? Special events coverage?
LB: Three students are on each morning broadcast: two anchors and a reporter. The anchors cover the basics- pledge, mission statement, intro special segment and close. The reporter gives the announcements, lunch and "Today in History". We often use photo montages to chronicle special events at our school and the special segments cover what's students are learning in their core classes.
SVN: Do your students capture other school events? Sports? Assemblies? Board meetings? Musical Performances?
LB: Eventually, student reporters will cover assemblies, sporting events and school performances.
SVN: What jobs do the kids do? Do the kids rotate through on-air talent and crew positions or are they "hired" for a specific task?
LB: The entire school rotates though on-air jobs for the daily show. My broadcast team applied for a position and indicated on-air or production preferences. All broadcast team members will write and edit stories as part of our communications magnet curriculum.
SVN: Do students audition for on-air positions?
LB: No. The entire school has a chance to be on-air. I rotate through homeroom classes to give everyone a chance. As a communications magnet school, we want everyone to enhance their oral communication skills.
SVN: Do they write the content?
LB: They write the content of the special segments. I write the announcements and basic features. During read-throughs, they will change the wording to have it sound more natural to them.
SVN: How long does the show run?
LB: Usually between 3-5 minutes.
SVN: Do you submit programming to independent contest such as those sponsored by StudicaSkills and SchoolTube TV?
LB: Not yet, but we are working on it!
SVN: Can your broadcast be viewed outside the school? District-wide? Local cable access? On your school/district web-site?
LB: The broadcasts are uploaded to school tube then posted on our school website. Teachers show the broadcast from the school website every day. This way, the students can show off their TV debuts to family and friends outside of school.
SVN: Where do you post programming? YouTube? Vimeo? SchoolTube? SVN-TV? Other?
LB: We post to school tube everyday and use the embed code to post it on our school website.
SVN: Do you have an equipment list you can share with our readers?
1-Tricaster Studio System
2- Sony HDR-FX7 video cameras
2- Soft Box lights
2-Telepromters with software from 1Prompt
1- Sound mixing board
3- Lapel Microphones
SVN: Have any quick start tips!
LB: Having our equipment is a blessing, but anyone can do a daily broadcast with a flip camera, a green sheet or table cloth and editing software. We use Pinnacle Studio HD to edit but simple programs like Microsoft Movie Maker work just as well! You can use a portable dry-erase board for cue cards. With these few things, you'll be up and broadcasting in no time!

Employer-sponsored coverage: If you are eligible for coverage through an employer (yours, or a household member's) that is affordable and provides minimum essential coverage, then you are not eligible for financial assistance through the Marketplace. Please see the "How do I know if my employer-sponsored plan is affordable?" FAQ to find out more about affordability of employer-sponsored coverage.
Health First Colorado (Colorado's Medicaid Program): If you are eligible for Health First Colorado, then you are not eligible for financial assistance through the Marketplace. You are welcome to purchase a health insurance plan through the Marketplace at full price. If you are receiving financial assistance and become eligible for Health First Colorado , your eligibility for financial assistance will end and you may want to cancel your private insurance plan to avoid being charged full price.
Medicare: If you are enrolled in either Medicare Part A or Medicare Part B, you are ineligible to purchase a plan through the Marketplace. However, if you have Premium Part A Medicare (not free Part A Medicare), you may choose to drop your Premium Part A (or choose not to enroll when eligible) and can then enroll in a plan through the Marketplace.
The choice of dropping Part A Medicare when an individual is entitled to it is an important decision and should be carefully considered. Individuals who do not enroll in Medicare when first eligible may have to pay late enrollment penalties if they later apply for both Premium Part A and Part B. Also, if an individual is entitled to free Part A Medicare and drops it, this could result in loss of retiree benefits and paying back all retirement benefits received and costs incurred by the Medicare program. Please also be aware that Medicare enrollment periods and start dates for coverage are not the same as those available on the Marketplace.
Retirement Benefits or Other Coverage: If you are enrolled in a retiree health plan or other minimum essential coverage, you may not be eligible for financial assistance through the Marketplace. For a list of other types of minimum essential coverage options, please see the "What is Minimum Essential Coverage?" FAQ.

A Word From Steve Jones
december 9th, 2019
Dear pastors, missionaries, chaplains and friends,
Steve here… Have you ever heard of the writer Walker Percy? Philip Yancey introduced me to him in one of his books when he commented on the importance of Walker's contribution as a Christian apologist.
After his death, Time Magazine (May 1990) wrote: "Name another voice in America writing who is as beguiling and civilized as Walker Percy."
He was a medical doctor, scientific researcher turned writer (in his 40s) who wrote philosophical essays and six popular novels, all tackling the bleak and hopeless themes prevalent in the 20th century.
He became a Christian later in life and wrote of hope. The literary establishment wanted to ignore him and his supposedly outdated, quaint views and rally behind the bleak viewpoints of giants like Hemmingway and Steinbeck, but they could never ignore his brilliance; his writing was too compelling.
Percy once wrote of this reality, saying: "The Christian novelist nowadays is like a man who has found a treasure hidden in the attic of an old house, but he is writing for people who have moved out to the suburbs and are bloody sick of the old house and everything in it."
Many in our culture have moved out from those "past" beliefs and rally behind more "progressive" views within the culture-wars of our day.
In my opinion, this has also touched Christmas. Our culture continues to celebrate Christmas, but don't necessarily give much thought to its origin. And if you keep your distance from your Saviour long enough, you begin to believe the lies they say about Him.
In one of Walker Percy's essays entitled Lost in the Cosmos, he writes about one of his favourite themes: humanity as an orphan lost in the cosmos. He writes:
"… How can you survive in the cosmos about which you know more and more while knowing less and less about yourself—this despite 10,000 self-help books, 100,000 psychotherapists and 100 million evangelical Christians?"
Modern man resembles a castaway on a deserted island trying to interpret the message found in a bottle, written in an unknown language. Like a prisoner in an isolation cell, straining to hear a code tapped out on the cell wall beside him.
The fact that the Gospel may not be as pronounced or embraced in our society as it used to be doesn't negate the tremendous value of the message: that a baby born in a manger came to save humanity. It's still the only message that brings hope and completely satisfies the hungry hearts of orphaned souls who are looking for peace.
The 17th century novelist John Dunne tells the story of early Spanish sailors who reached South America and sailed into the headwaters of the Amazon River. It was so immense that the sailors thought they were still continuing in the Atlantic Ocean. It never occurred to them to cup some water in their hands and taste that it was fresh water, not salt water. As a result, some sailors died of dehydration.
The scene of men dying of thirst while floating in the world's largest body of fresh water is a fitting metaphor of our own age.
Our family and friends are starving to death spiritually as they hum along to the Christmas music playing at every shopping mall—Christmas carols heralding the Saviour of the world. So close, yet so far.
Learning a New Language
We've got to learn a new language; that's hard work. A few years ago I spent three weeks studying French at the University of Montréal. I was exhausted, and so often I felt like an infant trying to communicate. It was humiliating at times, but it's a joyous experience when you realize you understand more, and are able to respond more effectively.
This Christmas, let's learn to communicate the truths of Christmas in a new way, in a new language—a language that is not so foreign to our friends who often show indifference (or contempt) when they feel like they are one of our "projects" during the Christmas season.
Have a blessed week,
Steve Jones

A Display in Your Glasses
Head-mounted displays, which project miragelike computing screens, have yet to be runaway hits. That's partly because they make you look like a telemarketer wearing a helmet about as inconspicuous as a pair of fake antlers. Massachusetts-based MicroOptical Corp. is taking a new approach, fitting projectable-display technology into standard eyeglass frames.
At last month's International Symposium on Wearable Computers in Seattle, MicroOptical debuted its prototype projectable-display glasses (see the photo). A tiny LCD in one temple generates high-resolution, 24-bit text, graphics, and video, viewed through optics hidden in the lenses. The display is projected in front of users, right in the middle of their surroundings, as if they were watching television.
MicroOptical is in partnership talks with PDA manufacturers and wearable-computer companies. Within the next two years, thanks to an alliance between MicroOptical and Essilor International, a maker of ophthalmic lenses, consumers will be able to purchase Bluetooth-enabled eyewear with MicroOptical's embedded technology from stores such as LensCrafters as part of a complete prescription eyeglass package, which will cost $400 to $600. MicroOptical is also looking to make the glasses compatible with cell phones.
Letting users pick standard frames and not blocking their view of their surroundings have been elusive design goals, according to Paul Zavracky, MicroOptical's president. "These have been our objectives from the beginning," he says. "People will be able to sit on a train or walk around and have access to information like e-mail, the Internet, GPS, and moviesand they won't have to wear helmets."
