TUNEEEEEEE ALERT! James Hype Ft. Kelli - Leigh unleash "More Than Friends"
Friday 7th July 2017
More Than Friends
Release date: TBC Label: One More Tune
After making a name for himself with his remix of Drake's 'Hotline Bling', James Hype's reputation quickly grew with over 4 million plays at Spotify of his remixes for Kristine Blond ('Love Shy') and Sage The Gemini ('Now And Later'). Now the rising producer/DJ has shared a VIP mix of his new track 'More Than Friends' which features Kelli-Leigh and is out now on One More Tune.
Craig & Scott
A heady cocktail of future bass and melodic house, 'More Than Friends' is also influenced by 90s R&B as newcomer Kelli-Leigh's topline is a reworking of the En Vogue classic 'Don't Let Go', which peaked at #5 back in 1997.
Emerging from Liverpool, James Hype started his career as a regular fixture across clubs through the north of England. As word of his talent spread, he was invited to provide guest mixes for MistaJam at Radio 1Xtra and Kiss FM amongst many others. Most recently, his remix of 'Love Shy' featured on house icon MK's 'Summer Selects' playlist for Mixmag.
Compared to the great DJ EZ, James Hype's DJ sets demonstrate dazzling technical ability, two of the swiftest hands in the business and an innate instinct for improvisation that sets him apart from the pack. Previously seen at events including Creamfields, Tinie Tempah's Disturbing Ibiza and MistaJam's JamPacked, James Hype's forthcoming tour.

Mystery Man Buys Lunch for National Guard Troops at Rockford Restaurant
A group of soldiers from the Michigan National Guard took a break from training at the Belmont Armory to have lunch at the Corner Bar in Rockford on Wednesday and got a pleasant and completely unexpected surprise.
Another customer saw them eating their lunches in uniform, and spoke with a manager, saying that he wanted to pay for all of their lunches. And he didn't want anyone to know he was doing it.
"He picked up our whole tab. And he left without us saying thank you. We all wanted to say thank you," SFC Venice Sheposh told WZZM-13.
The man not only picked up the tab, but also left a generous tip. In all, the bill was right around $200.
Inspired by this man's generosity, the Corner Bar is now working to put together their own Military Appreciation Day.

Dharamshala — Sources coming out of Tibet say a Tibetan father-of-four was arrested by Chinese authorities in Ngaba County, north-eastern Tibet for staging peaceful protest against Chinese rule by shouting slogans calling for freedom in Tibet and return of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
"Tashi, a 31-year-old man was held by Chinese police on October 26, within minutes of having started his protest march on the county-town street," said Kanyak Tsering, a monk from Dharamshala-based Kirti Monastery October 30.
"Tashi took to the main street of Ngaba town, holding a portrait of His Holiness the Dalai Lama," and shouted slogans calling for "freedom in Tibet" and "return of His Holiness the Dalai Lama," Ven Tsering said.
"Chinese authorities arrived at the scene within minutes and arrested him. His conditions remain unknown and he is currently in Chinese police custody," the monk said, citing sources in the region.
Tashi, a native of village no. 5 of Meruma town, Ngaba County in Amdo Region of north-eastern Tibet Tibet (Ch: Aba County, Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture in the north-west of Sichuan Province). "His wife's name is Kalpe and has four children: two sons and two daughters."
Fear is growing in Ngaba Count of Tibet as dozens of Tibetans, including monks and women were arrested and disappeared in the past recent months.
Earlier this month, Chinese authorities have detained a 15-yr-old Tibetan monk for staging peaceful protest and shouting slogans calling for "freedom in Tibet" and return of His Holiness the Dalai Lama."
The situation in Ngaba County has deteriorated with "patriotic re-education" campaign since widespread peaceful protests swept the most parts of Tibet in 2008.
Tibetans are arbitrarily arrested, severely beaten, and imprisoned by the Chinese police forces for staging peaceful protests and even expressing their views in favour of Human Rights, including religious freedom.
All communications, include Internet lines in the county and surrounding areas severely restricted and oftenly blocked, except for Chinese government offices and institutions.
Tibetans are under heavy surveillance by the increasing number of Chinese police forces, with security checkpoints and Chinese work team officials monitoring their movements and activities, as was reported earlier.
The list of Tibetans arrested and detained by the Chinese police and security forces for staging peaceful protests in favor of freedom in Tibet and the return of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, is consistently growing in recent months. This tendency clearly contradicts China's recently released white paper, which claims that Tibet has reached its 'golden age'.

A Scots worker travelling to Ghana on a charity mission has been left astonished - after thieves stole Tunnock's biscuits from his luggage but left a laptop and projector behind.
British Gas marketing officer Michael Paterson noticed that the snacks were missing after a security inspection on his baggage at Accra airport when he realised the seals on his suitcase had been broken.
He had purchased the chocolate treats, made by Tunnock's, as a present for his host family during the trip to a Ghanian orphanage.
Football kits Mr Paterson had brought with him were also left untouched by the thieves.
Mr Paterson, who lives in Partick, added: "I couldn't believe it. I searched high and low but traced them going missing to what happened at the airport.
"I thought it had been some security check on my cases and when I saw the valuable stuff was still there I was happy to go on my way.
"I'd been out in Ghana before and I knew they liked Scottish things and I thought the caramel wafers would go down a treat.
"Unfortunately, whoever was in my suitcases decided to help themselves."
Uddingston-based Tunnock's have since offered Mr Paterson free biscuits on behalf of the company.
Mr Paterson will be helping the Alliance for Youth Development charity in Ghana, which runs an orphanage and free school, HIV awareness scheme and a sports programme for local children.

The Skier's Handbook for Powder Playlists
Forget singing in the shower. Singing on the slopes is our new favourite pastime.
Where better to belt out your favourite songs than on the slopes? You might not be popular with other skiers, but who cares? Fun fact: you definitely sound great.
The only problem: what should you listen to? Somehow, Spotify's 'Throwback Thursday' playlist doesn't quite cut it.
We're here to help! We've been to the slopes enough times to know what gets you pumped for the mountains. From stag dos to ski bums, we've got a playlist for everyone.
Here's our skier's handbook for powder playlists. Note: no song from the 'Frozen' Disney movie will be found here. You're welcome.
Playlist for Solo Skiers
Skiing is a sociable activity, that we all know.
But, it can't be denied that skiers spend a lot of their time alone. If you're unfortunate enough to be saddled with some slow skiers on your trip, you can't be waiting around for them at the bottom the whole time.
Or, you might be that slow skier. Good luck on your own out there.
So, what can keep a solo skier company? A good song, obviously.
You can't be stopping to change tracks all the time, so make sure you've got a good playlist to hand. Luckily, we've got some suggestions:
• Survivor – Eye of the Tiger
• The Killers – Run for Cover
• Corrosion of Conformity – Clean My Wounds
• Empire of the Sun – Walking On a Dream
• Imagine Dragons – Radioactive
• X Ambassadors, Jamie N Commons – Jungle
• Metric – Help I'm Alive
• Bastille – Pompeii
• Youngblood Hawke – We Come Running
• The Mooney Suzuki – Alive & Amplified
Playlist for Après-Ski
So, if you know how to do a skiing holiday properly, you'll be heading out to après-ski every night. If you fancy 'a quiet night in', you're going about skiing all wrong.
A good playlist can make you feel as though you're at après-ski even when you're not.
We might be fighting a losing battle by saying this, but try not to forget you have to put your skis back on at the end of it. Getting back down the mountain drunk should be an Olympic sport.
What music will get you in the mood for dancing on tables and downing dirty pints? This one proved tricky, as there's too many options to choose from.
But, we gave it our best shot. Here are some classic après-ski tunes:
• Village People – YMCA
• David Bowie – Rebel Rebel
• The Human League – Don't You Want Me
• The Proclaimers – I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)
• Dolly Parton – 9 To 5
• Bryan Adams – Summer of '69
• Lynyrd Skynyrd – Sweet Home Alabama
• Queen – Don't Stop Me Now
• Culture Club – Karma Chameleon
• Starship – We Built This City
Playlist for Seasonaires
Seasonaires have seen it all. The good, the bad, the ugly – nothing is hidden.
They've mastered how to ski with a hangover, put up with unbearable chalet guests and seen every skier stereotype come to life.
So, it seems only fair that these dedicated skiers should have their own playlist. Their veins might run with more Jägermeister than blood, but they can still appreciate a good song.
A true seasonaire will spend most of their time in a club. So, we reckon they love the old bangers and the mainstream stuff. Nothing beats the classics, right?
• Usher – Love in this Club
• Chance the Rapper – All Night
• Snoop Dog and Wiz Khalifa – Young, Wild & Free
• French Montana – Unforgettable
• Will Smith – The Fresh Prince of Bel Air
• Drake – God's Plan
• Childish Gambino – Redbone
• Craig David – 7 Days
• 50 Cent and Justin Timberlake – Ayo Technology
• Eminem – Lose Yourself
Playlist for Stag Dos
Have you been roped into organising a stag do? Or worse, dragged along to a stag do for someone you don't like? Fear not. Just put your headphones in.
Stag do parties are dreaded by those on the slopes. You might be the cause of annoyance for other skiers nearby, but the best stag dos couldn't care less about anyone else.
Stag dos used to be as simple as go-karting, before sinking a few pints in a pub while surrounded by strippers. But, these days, there's pressure on the best man to push the boat out.
So, it's unsurprising that ski stag dos are popular. Why not force the only one in the group who's never been skiing down a black run? It's free entertainment!
In between leaving the naked groom out in the snow and donning the craziest ski accessories imaginable, find time to listen to music!
With stag dos, you'll need a song for every stage of the night. When you're warming up, drinking for Dutch courage, and getting rejected. You've got a full 24 hours of partying ahead, so don't let poor music taste ruin the fun for everyone.
• Fat Les – Vindaloo
• DJ B3LFAST – Will Grigg's on Fire
• Kaiser Chiefs – I Predict a Riot
• Thin Lizzy –The Boys are Back in Town
• Calvin Harris – Acceptable in the 80s
• The Police – Roxanne
• The Ordinary Boys –Boys Will Be Boys
• 50 Cent – In da Club
• Dexys Midnight Runners – Come on Eileen
• The Killers – Somebody Told Me

Playlist for Hen Nights
The best hen nights are more than just cocktails and inflatable blow-up dolls.
These days, hen skiing weekends are increasingly popular. Why not trade glow sticks and party buses for après-ski and slope-side partying?
Challenge: try not to lose your sash on the way down the mountain.
Whatever sort of hen do you're having, you need a great playlist. But, nobody will be able to stand the mother of the bride's singing, so maybe just don't invite her.
Here's our top picks for belting down the slopes alongside your inflatable 'Harry the Hunk':
• Cyndi Lauper – Girls Just Want to Have Fun
• Beyoncé – Single Ladies
• ABBA – Dancing Queen
• Spice Girls – Wannabe
• Shania Twain – Man! I Feel Like a Woman!
• Whitney Houston – I Wanna Dance with Somebody
• Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Mya, Pink – Lady Marmalade
• Aretha Franklin – RESPECT
• The Weather Girls – It's Raining Men
• Madonna – Like A Virgin
Playlist for Ski Bums
Ski bums are famous for three things: eat, ski, sleep (repeat). That's about it!
They will scrimp and save wherever they can, give up their luxuries and creature comforts, all for their love of the slopes.
We admire the dedication to the cause. So, in our eyes, every ski bum deserves their very own playlist.
A true ski bum has a varied taste in music. Each song should say something about their current situation:
• Khalid – Young, Dumb & Broke
• AWOLNATION – Sail
• Arctic Monkeys – Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?
• Kings of Leon – Use Somebody
• Flight of The Conchords – Too Many Dicks (On the Dancefloor)
• Will Smith – Gettin' Jiggy With It
• Craig David and Big Narstie – When the Bassline Drops
• Wild Cherry – Play that Funky Music
• Red Hot Chili Peppers – Snow (Hey Oh)
• Eurythmics – Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)
Playlist for Hungover Skiers
We commend any skier who braves the slopes with a hangover.
But, if you're anything like us, this is a daily occurrence. You can't miss out on the après-ski, after all.
House music might cure a headache for some, but most are too fragile.
Our advice? Save the heavy stuff for the bar and give yourself some well-needed respite.
You could benefit from turning your headphones down for a bit.
Here's a few songs to help you feel sorry for yourself:
• Kanye West – Runaway
• X Ambassadors – Unsteady
• James Arthur –Impossible (Acoustic)
• The XX – Intro
• Coldplay – Fix You
• Akon – Lonely
• Kodaline – All I Want
• Train – Hey, Soul Sister
• Red Hot Chilli Peppers – Dosed
• The Fray – How to Save a Life
Music on the Slopes
The perfect playlist will get you excited for the slopes! Plus, it will give you some inspiration for what to sing on your way down the mountain.
But, how to listen to your playlist? Believe it or not, some people still live in the dark ages without Spotify premium.
We're teaming up with BlueJay, a music curation platform, and streaming these playlists live from their app. So, be on the lookout for announcements of this!
Don't like our choice of songs? If you have any suggestions, let us know your thoughts on Twitter! Our expertise lies in skiing, not music, after all.
If you can't wait to see the mountains come alive with the sound of music, you'll need a transfer to get you there. Luckily for you, we've got that covered. Simply enter your travel details and we'll show you the best quotes around. Find your low-cost transfer here!

Diamond Clarity
Clarity grade is a measure of the number and size of minor flaws or "inclusions" that a diamond contains. An inclusion is any spot, scratch, bubble, or line that occurred when the diamond was still being formed deep in the earth. Nearly every diamond has inclusions, but most inclusions are not visible to the naked eye. Gem laboratories use a magnifying glass (at 10x magnification) to determine the amount, size, position, nature, and color of the inclusions. The clarity of diamonds ranges from "flawless" to "included".
Did You Know?You should avoid diamonds with visible flaws that affect their overall beauty or durability, but it is not necessary to select a flawless diamond. To make sure that your diamond has no visible flaws, we recommend stones with a grade of SI2 or higher. However, some SI diamonds can provide great value as many are virtually flawless to the naked eye.
Use the interactive scale below to distinguish between clarity grades.
- FL, IF(Flawless, Internally Flawless)
- VVS1, VVS2 (Very, Very Slightly Included)
- VS1, VS2 (Very Slightly Included)
- SI1, SI2 (Slightly Included)
- I1, I2, I3 (Included or Imperfect)
These rare diamonds contain no flaws (FL) or only very insignificant blemishes (IF) when viewed under 10x magnification.
The tiny inclusions in these stones are very difficult to see, even at 10x magnification.
VS1, VS2 (Very Slightly Included)
These stones contain inclusions that are visible only under 10x magnification.
SI1, SI2 (Slightly Included)
Diamonds at this level have inclusions that are clearly visible under magnification and may be visible without magnification.
I1, I2, I3 (Included or Imperfect)
In these diamonds, the inclusions are clearly visible without magnification.
What makes a diamond sparkle? It is created by the cut of the diamond, which is why you should pay close attention to the first of the 4C's.
Although diamonds come in a variety of colors, you should know that it is in fact the lack of color, or "whiteness," that increases the value of a diamond.
Does size matter? Maybe not as much as you might have thought, because carat is actually a measure of a diamond's weight, not just it's size.

Service and dress reflected the more formal era, but no one expected air travel to be comfortable. It was amazing just to have hot food above the clouds.

As a former client, and also a volunteer for a long time, this is the best treatment facility that I have seen. Of course, results vary, because attitudes vary, but I assure you that this program works if you choose to work at it. But as my personal experience, I have been clean almost 11 years, in large part to this program. I was changed by God through Jesus Christ. And one real reason I gave God a chance was because the staff reflected such a genuine love, I had never seen before. I wish everyone could experience this program, it is life changing. I Love God today, and I love this place.
Rapha Ministries wishes to help all who need recovery assistance. However, the services available at Rapha are not suitable for every need. There are certain admission criteria that must be met to ensure the client receives adequate care. Some of the factors taken in consideration for admission into the Rapha program are the length of alcohol/drug abuse and the severity of problems created by the abuse (legal, family, financial, job, etc.) Family members are encouraged to participate in the assessment. The mission of Rapha Ministries is to provide
long term recovery program for drug, alcohol addiction, unhealthy relationships, co-dependency behavior, serious marital conflicts and loneliness. This is done through challenging and instruction to the client's in the change in their lives that can be achieved by the power of God. This goal is accomplished only by the support we provide to the client's and their families as they build a new way of life. During this process we also assist the client in bridging the gap between their relationships, their faith and their community.

Go check out Thomas Rid's very insightful post over at Kings of War about the continuing controversy over the military's use of social scientists (a tiny percentage of whom are anthropologists) in conducting operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. It's the best thing I've seen on the topic and the comments are also well worth reading. Rid compares anthropology to medicine–both professions share the ethical imperative to "do no harm"–and concludes that anthropologists' rhetorical use of that imperative doesn't necessarily have the implications in a war zone that they expect.
If I may be allowed to riff on the topic for a minute, a number of things continue to disturb me about the concern that so many anthropologists have expressed over the Human Terrain System (HTS).
- Rid cites the network of "Concerned Anthropologists" as arguing that involvement in the Human Terrain System is unethical not only for anthropologists but for other social scientists, as well. This claim strikes me as overreaching to the point of academic imperialism. Surely each social science should be entitled to determine its own ethics.
- The anthropologists want to impose their narrow understanding of their ethical imperative to "do no harm" on the U.S. military. However, in active operations the military does not have "do no harm" as an option. Every action–including inaction–leads to some group of people dying. Make no mistake, if the military ceases using social scientists there will be people who will die as a result, a few of them Americans, the others not. They will have real names, real faces, they'll just be faces that no anthropologist will ever see.
- I'm concerned that anthropologists have been so good at public relations that lazy journalists writing about the HTS go straight to anthropologists for comment. This leaves the impression that anthropologists speak for all social scientists. Judging by the lack of protests by political scientists, economists, geographers, psychologists, and others, they don't speak for all social scientists.
- I can't escape the feeling that the anthropologists' concern is heavily informed by the unpopularity of the Iraq and Afghan wars. Would they be similarly reticent to give advice to, say, a small Amazonian ethnic group suffering attacks by the Brazilian Army? Would they be similarly reticent to give advice to Allied armies fighting the Nazis and liberating concentration camps? War is a political act, the Prussian tells us. Do anthropologists require their members to recuse themselves from other political issues? If not why not? Other forms of politics can lead to death, suffering, and oppression every bit as real, albeit usually less visually dramatic, as can war.
Anyway, go read Thomas' piece.

I started taking ibuprobin regularly 2 years ago. I took about 6 a day which is the maximum dosage. I took 3 in the morning and 3 at night for back and joint pains. I'm wondering if this contributed to my condition. I also in the past few weeks since my "cyst" or whatever it is was discovered I have stopped almost entirely using artificial sweeteners. I used to only drink diet sodas or sugar-free drink mixes and use sugar-free coffemate every morning. Most of my joint pain is gone since I elimated the artificial sweetners. I saw something about this circulating on Facebook about aspertame and joint pain and fibromyalgia. I also went on a short course of steroids prescibed by the orthopedic who ordered the MRI that found my "cyst". I wonder if any of you have any thoughts regarding the ibuprofin. I have read that if you take these pain relievers for over 10 years your chance of developing kidney cancer triples! I only took it for 2 years. I have gone cold turkey! My plan is to go natural all the way and organic where I can.
That's all for now.
Jan 24, 2014 - 4:54 pm
CommuterMom you know that ibuprofen is a no no now right!! I must admit to you I was starting to feel weird a few weeks ago and I had started to use sweeteners so as a test I cut them out and oh my god the difference it has made!! I am not getting the fuzzy head I had started to get!!!

I have not heard of the connection to kidney cancer but anti inflammatories like ibuprophin are bad for your kidneys. I took them for an extended period years ago due to herniated discs and my Nephrologist thinks it may have contributed to the kidney disease I have in my one kidney. Best to stay away from them if you can.
Jan 24, 2014 - 6:52 pm
It is easy to say and difficult to do... stay away from sweets as much as possible. The fake sugar and high fructose corn sugar is in many packaged foods.. All the chemicals are not good, regardless of Kidney function or lack there of. Reduce salt intake as well. Do do take any drugs you do not have to have... drugs basically go through the liver or kidneys... try to reduce the strain on those precious organs...
Jan 24, 2014 - 7:32 pm
I agree it is hard to do. Tylenol just doen't do the trick. If you have a healthy kideny, occassional ibuprophin is probably OK, but 6 a day every day could lead to a problem.
Jan 24, 2014 - 7:55 pm
Since losing my left kidney to cancer on Oct. 2, I, too have completely eliminated both ibuprofen and diet drinks from my diet. I have taken multiple advil each day for probably 15+ years, and drank primarily diet soda -- and I do believe my over-consumption of both contributed to the development of my cancer. Since I wish to keep the one that remains, I am trying to be VERY nice to it -- drinking much more water (with an occasional regular soda), and taking tylenol for minor aches & pains.
Jan 24, 2014 - 9:11 pm
For about 15 years, I took two ibuprophen at bedtime. After I was diagnosed with RCC, my doctor told me I would never take ibuprophen again. Did it cause my tumor? I don't know. I do know the decades of heavy drinking didn't help. Like the rest of you I take no ibuprophen and drink no soda of any type. I have developed a taste for La Croix.


text: Microsoft's Surface Pro is a pretty incredible machine. When we reviewed the Surface Pro early last year, we said it was very fast, surprisingly smooth, and that it featured a gorgeous design. We also said it was priced very fairly at $899, which was perfectly in line with Apple's 11-inch MacBook Air once you added on the cost of a Type Cover. If the Surface Pro was a fair deal at $899, it's an absolute steal at $499. A BGR reader alerted us to a Best Buy sale taking place right now, and it offers Microsoft's 128GB Surface Pro convertible tablet for $400 off its original launch price. The specs are a bit old and a newer Surface Pro 2 is now available, but a beautiful and capable 2-pound machine with a full HD display, a stylus with Wacom tech, and a case that's just 0.5 inches thick is a steal at $499. The sale price is only good through the end of the day on Saturday, so those interested in the sleek slate should act fast.

Reviewby Carl Kimlinger,
From Up On Poppy Hill
The year is 1963. In the port town of Yokohama, pretty young Umi raises signal flags every morning in her garden. Umi's family runs a boarding house, and has done ever since her father was killed at sea. The signal flags are in memory of him. Unbeknownst to her, in the bay a boy named Shun raises answering flags on his father's tugboat. Umi meets Shun when he leaps in protest from the roof of the school's soon-to-be condemned clubhouse. Known to its devoted inhabitants as the Latin Quarter, the clubhouse is to be replaced by a more modern structure. Shun is firmly opposed, and in addition to daredevil publicity stunts, he also runs pro-Latin-Quarter propaganda pieces in his one-page amateur newspaper. One day he asks Umi to help, and the inevitable happens. Unfortunately there are secrets in their pasts that may not allow the inevitable to continue.
Goro Miyazaki's follow-up to his debut, the poorly received Tales from Earthsea, is a modest little film. It's also an immensely charming one. A portrait of youth in 1963 Yokohama, Poppy Hill is a beautifully composed love letter to the era, to the city, and to the joy of being young. It is sentimental filmmaking in the very best sense: moving and deeply nostalgic yet winningly underplayed.
The film is simplicity itself. Two young people fall in love as they and their classmates struggle to save a beloved local landmark. It's a family-friendly Hollywood premise that the film molds into something quiet and textured and sweetly real. It lets its leads' feelings drift naturally, maintaining the essential reserve of a Showa romance and leaving it up to us to figure out their relationship. There is no cheap drama, no easy scapegoats or convenient villains. When an anvil drops on Umi and Shun's fledgling relationship, it drops so quietly that only a sudden stiffness in Shun's behavior betrays the dropping. That anvil is the film's one truly clunky contrivance, a hoary bit of soap opera business that even the characters admit sounds like "cheap melodrama." But even it is treated with sometimes heartbreaking delicacy—plus enough drama-destroying honesty to strip away its soapy aftertaste.
The film builds like that, with restraint and deceptive simplicity, to moments of surprisingly deep and honest feeling. It may be a gentle movie, but it isn't afraid to hit your heart. Though it invariably hits it with class and just a touch of poetry. As it does when a beautifully sad dream plumbs the depths of Umi's familial yearning. Or when Umi and Shun share a bittersweet moment while leaving Tokyo. Or, most memorably of all, when independent Umi allows herself to lean on her mother, letting go for one devastating moment of helpless weakness.
The Latin Quarter business, on the other hand, allows Goro Miyazaki and his Studio Ghibli crew to indulge their more rambunctious side. The quest to save the ancient building is full of boyish mischief and male ruckus, adding an essential vein of youthful fun. A vein that the film isn't afraid to exploit whenever its tone threatens to grow too grave. As a man (read: a grown boy), the dumb stunts and girl-fuelled idiocy of the Latin Quarter guys strikes a nostalgic cord that resonates almost as deeply as the film's subtler and more profound sequences. What guy hasn't jumped off a roof for attention? Or smiled like a goober when girls scolded him? (Negative attention is still attention, girls.)
It's to the film's credit that neither Umi nor the film itself looks down on the boys for their raucous ways. Indeed Umi appreciates their candor and ardor, and while the film definitely finds humor in their filth-living, risk-taking boyishness, it also harbors a marrow-deep affection for them. Arguably the film's very best scene is the one in which the school's boys hold a riot of a debate, only to snap into instant solidarity (and break into song) when the teachers come to check on them.
It helps, of course, that the film takes pains to give the hordes of supporting players—both male and female—their own distinct personalities. From Umi's best friend (the no-nonsense daughter of a plasterer) to the uber-nerds of the astronomy club, from the blowhard head of the philosophy club to Umi's girlishly fearless sister, everyone in Poppy feels like they have their own lives and their own stories to tell. It helps too that the film leaves the work of building character to the animators, allowing Umi's purposeful stride and adult poise to say everything that needs saying about her strength of character, or Shun's infectious energy to say everything that needs saying about his natural charisma.
Woven through and around this essentially straightforward tale is a meticulously maintained, deeply felt sense of place. In some ways the film is as much about the Yokohama of fifty years ago as it is about Umi and Shun and the Latin Quarter. Exacting attention to period detail and loving appreciation for long-gone rhythms of life and abandoned standards of behavior bring Umi's world to vivid and very human life. Yokohama teems and clatters with the friendly energy of a messily expanding city (most notably during a pair of magnificent downhill races into the belly of the city); Umi's school radiates rustic charm; and the Latin Quarter… well, the Latin Quarter betrays Ghibli's predilection for the fantastical. It's a baroque wonder; an interior shantytown of jury-rigged clubhouses and mazes of stacked junk, twisting their way up cozily crowded staircases and into the depths of the Quarter's several floors, their cluttered balconies connected by rope pulleys and bucket elevators that ferry packages from boy to boy. You can see why the boys love it so.
Details pile up as the film moves forward—the feudal posture of Umi's matriarchal grandmother, the small talk of Umi's boarders, the unique lunchtime routines of Umi's school, Shun's old-fashioned romantic reserve, the careening traffic at the city center, the colored smoke from the city's industrial quarter, and uncountable thousands more, all beautifully illustrated and lyrically presented—until we are transported, away from our seats, into the bustling, long-ago Japan of the film's imagination. Satoshi Takebe's lovely pop score, dotted with sweetly old-fashioned songs, supplies the finishing touch on an essentially unassailable production.
The sin of GKids Poppy Hill dub lays not its casting or its performances. The dub lines up a formidable roster of big-to-medium-name talent, most of whom do perfectly fine work. Anton Yelchin and Sarah Bolger are appropriately restrained as Shun and Umi; Jamie Lee Curtis is predictably solid in the small but pivotal role of Umi's mother; Beau Bridges is perfect as an unexpectedly kindhearted industrialist; and Ron Howard has a lot of fun as the philosophy club blowhard. The problem is with the script. Not that it isn't skillful in its own way. But it treats the film less carefully than the original: imposing unnecessary narration on the opening's wordless survey of Umi's morning routine, for instance, or beefing up the series' message about respecting the past by having Umi blurt it out. It's a blunter instrument than the original, and accordingly deals more damage to the film's delicate dramatic constructs. And that is not acceptable, not in a film as finely constructed as this.
GKids supplies a choking glut of extras. If you're willing to put in the time, the disc offers up a wealth of revelations about the origins of the film, the history of film's theme song (a gorgeous love ballad), the production of the English version, and the production of the film itself (it was made during the fallout of the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami). There's a good deal of information about Yokohama, both from Goro Miyazaki, who admits to seriously fictionalizing the historical city, and from a travelogue that contrasts current day Yokohama with archival footage from the '50s. There're also multiple tastes of Hayao Miyazaki's notoriously crusty personality, as well as hints of what it must be like to work with/for him.
The most interesting material, however, comes from Goro, the son. Specifically the younger Miyazaki's essay, printed in a very nice color booklet, wherein he speaks tellingly of his slack attitude when making Earthsea and his desperation and ulcerating anxiety when making Poppy Hill. He describes wrecking his health, wallowing in doubt, and fervently wishing he was a better artist. His father wrote the film, so he was desperate to avoid being told that "the screenplay was good, but the movie was not." He needn't have worried. The film born of all that strain bears no marks from it. It is an effortless, magical confection. It is a good film.
Overall (dub) : B+

It's not every day you encounter a wedding story like Brooke and Raoul's. It's funny how sometimes you can be in the right place, at the right time, finding yourself in the right room with the right people. They're a Bay Area couple that met and developed their relationship in true San Francisco fashion. Here is their story…
Rained Out, An Opportunity for Love
Brooke and Raoul both took trips to Scottsdale, Arizona to cheer on their favorite team, the San Francisco Giants. Neither realized that this trip would lead them on a journey full of travel, love, and a new brightness in life. The day they were to attend the Giants/Dodgers game they had tickets for, a huge rain and hail storm took over Scottsdale. I know, who would have thought? Both groups, disappointed and soaked, ended up at a bar called R&R. Turns out, when you put two people with a spark like Brooke and Raoul together, that's all it takes for them to bond and feel the beginnings of a new love.
First Stop San Francisco, Next Stop Puerto Rico
After returning to San Francisco two weeks later, the couple went on their first official date at Nopa in the city. They were inseparable. After just a month of dating, Raoul invited Brooke to join him on a work trip to Puerto Rico, which was the first of many trips together. This set the stage for their relationship. Brooke and Raoul spent the next year traveling together to New York, Tahoe, Maui, Mexico, and Italy, getting to know each other and their family and friends.
On One Knee in Front of Coit Tower
When you know, you just know. On their 1-year anniversary, Raoul had something special in store for Brooke. He took her to visit Coit Tower, a place she had never been, and as the sun set he got down on one knee and proposed. Of course she said yes! Following the proposal, Brooke and Raoul celebrated with champagne and dinner with Brooke's parents. The festivities continued with a celebratory family brunch the morning after, all coordinated by Raoul.
The Big Day
Brooke prepared for her big day with the help of her bridesmaids and trusty stylists. Her hair, done by Renee Rodriguez, was kept long and curled and her makeup by Racine Christensen, was the perfect combination of natural/made up. Brooke's whole look along with her beautiful Amy Kushel wedding dress was classy and fun.
A Diablo Country Club Wedding
The wedding took place at the Diablo Country Club, a beautiful location for their outdoor ceremony under the oak trees. With the view of Mount Diablo in the background, it set the stage for a romantic day full of love and support from family and friends.
When the time came, Brooke walked down the aisle carrying her pink and white bouquet by Megan Haney Designs. All eyes were on her. She looked stunning and smiled from ear to ear. As officiant Ryan Lincks guided them through the ceremony, you could feel the excitement. After they said "I Do", Brooke and Raoul kissed along with a cheering crowd toasting with champagne.
Celebrate with Cocktails and Impressive Dancing
Following the ceremony, the wedding was transported to phase two by the help of Black Tie Transportation. It was time to celebrate! Guests were served mini dirty martinis (Brooke's drink) and Corpse Revivers (Raoul's drink).
Instead of the usual white-layered cake, Brooke and Raoul chose a more modern approach. They opted for cupcakes provided by Kara's Cupcakes! Just like the night they met, the newlyweds' first married drink together was a shot of tequila. Back in San Francisco, the Giants were playing a nail-biting game that went into overtime. All throughout the night, the scores were called out. It seemed that there were more than one thing to cheer about that night!
As the evening progressed, the party danced to music by DJ Brian Fitzsimmons. Though there were a lot of impressive moves, including the bridesmaids' and friends' dance to Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off", my personal favorite was noticing the love shared between Brooke and her dad. They seemed to have such a strong emotional connection and I feel it over and over again every time I go through their images.
Brooke and Raoul's wedding was full of laughter and sweet love and could not have been accomplished without the great work by Day of Designs wedding coordinators.
Also, a big thanks to my team for the day: Nicole Cross and Kevin Walters.
Brooke and Raoul, congratulations on your beautiful wedding! I wish you a lifetime full of travel, sweet love, and many more Giants World Series!

Chocolate is my absolute favourite food and this would have to be the most simple, not to mention absolutely delicious, dessert. This has the flavours of a Toblerone chocolate – another of my favourites. This is also a favourite of my son James, who is also turning out to be a great cook and entertainer.
1 Fondue Pot
2 Blocks Plain Milk Chocolate
200gms Thick Cream
1 Cup Honey
1 Punnet Strawberries (washed and hulled)
6 Bananas (cut into 2 cm pieces – squeeze lemon on pieces to stop them browning)
Break half the chocolate into squares and place in the fondue pot
Using a saucepan of boiling water or microwave oven slowly melt chocolate, stirring constantly.
When melted, add half the honey and continue to heat through.
Add half the cream. Stir thoroughly.
Remove fondue pot from stove or microwave and place on fondue burner. Serve with a platter of strawberries and bananas. Other fruits can be used, but banana and strawberry are my favourites.
I usually only use half the ingredients, as the fondue does not last long and it is quick and easy to "do it all again"!!

It's hard to believe tomorrow is the first day of April! Where in the world did March go?! I'm hoping we're finally done with the surprise snowstorms and all the cold weather because I'm SO ready to wear my Spring clothes for more than just try-on sessions on Instagram. This weekend we're hosting Justin's dad for his birthday and are planning for a relaxing Easter Sunday. I'm making deviled eggs and we have more candy than three people should ever eat lol.
Since it's the last day of the month I thought I'd share my March favorites. Some you've seen before and some that are new to the scene like my new luxury-like black quilted bag (mine is the large size), and affordable chic black sunglasses. You'll also find lots of beauty favs, including a lot of new lippies. I've been obsessed lately with a nude lip and this liner called Pillowtalk is literally perfect. I don't know exactly what it is, but it just makes your lipstick look better. I paired it with Bosom Friend (another new nude lipstick) and it's like they were made to go together! On top, I've been wearing Boy Bait which is a really pretty, and versatile, nude gloss. It's a cremesheen so it's not quite as sticky as most MAC glosses. I also got lots of questions about my lip combo yesterday which was Boy Bait paired with Kim K.W. - the prettiest pinky nude! The packaging of this lipstick is gorgeous and it's a beautiful formulation.
I also picked up a new eyeshadow, blush, and wipes while visiting my local MAC counter. Last Dance is a gorgeous peachy pink shimmer shadow that seriously pops on the lid (especially if you spray your brush with Fix+ first). I wore it by itself on the lid yesterday and had several requests for the color. My new blush obsession is Full Fuschia and at first glance, you're probably thinking, "Woah! That's one bright blush!" And yes, it's definitely a vibrant shade but with a very light hand, it applies beautifully! If I use too much, I apply a pretty pink highlighter or blush over top and it works well to tone it down and add a nice sheen. The wipes are FAB! They reformulated the original version with micellar water AND the packaging is pink! Surprisingly, I like them even better than the original as they have a wetter consistency for better removal of makeup.
I'm heading to Ulta today for a fun product launch I'll be sharing live on Instagram and then plan on enjoying the Easter holiday by sleeping in, and eating an absurd amount of sugar before Pure Barre boot camp starts on Monday.
Have a wonderful weekend with your family & friends!

This case demonstrates, step-by-step, how to create, test, and distribute a complete R package that integrates C language source code into the R programmimg environment.
Download examples for this use case:
Click here to the complete R package source and directory structure for this Use Case (Windows and Linux)
Download the installable R package demonstrated here: Linux OR Windows XP platforms.
Getting Started:
Many scientists using R software would like to integrate often-used algorithms written in high-level programming languages (e.g., C or Fortran), into the R environment so that they can integrate them with the R environment's data management, computational, and graphical capabilities .
These R users have two options: The first is to re-code the algorithm as an R script (implemented as an R function), and call the function from the R command line. However, substantial time and effort may be required to re-code the algorithm in R, and thenvalidate the answers given by the new R script. The second option is to encapsulate the high-level language 'legacy' code within a new R package, and then add the new package to their R programming environment.
Assume that you have C function that you wish to call from an R script. Specifically, you wish to pass data from R into the C function, and have the function return the results to the R environment through the function call. For example:
> Results = ComputeFunctionR(ScalarParam, InputVector)
ScalarParam: A single input parameter
InputVector: A one-dimensional array
Results: Data generated by the C function, and returned to the R environment.
This function passes the two argument list parameters into the C function, receives the results matrix returned, and passes it back through the R command line, storing the returned matrix in Results. Note that Results could be a scalar (single) number, a vector/matrix, or a character string.
The best way to do this is to extend your R Programming Environment by building and installing an R Package. Once developed in accordance with the specifications built into the R software architecture, this package can be installed on any computer's R environment.Two R programming environment features support this: 1) An Applications Programming Interface (API) that enables R functions to call functions in C / C++ and Fortran 77; 2) software development tools for creating modular R packages for multiple computing platforms that incorporate the high-level language components.
This Use Case creates an R function that encapsulates a C-languge function, and then demonstrates how to produce installable R packages for the Linux and Microsoft Windows XP computing platforms.
Two R documents contain information that will help you expand this Use Case into an implementation of your own high-level language function as an R package:
Writing R Extensions describes in detail the development of installable R packages; in addition, it describes the R language interface to other functions written in C / C++ and Fortran.
R Installation and Administration describes the compliation and installation of the R environment, R help documentation, and R packages on different computing platforms. It includes detailed instructions for configuring the R-compatible software development environments required to construct R Packages for both Linux and Microsoft Windows platforms.
Creating a New R Package: Four Steps
- Create the 'R-callable' version of your high-level language function by creating a new argument list for the function.
- Prepare the required components of an installable R package: /src and /R folders containing the C code and R script developed in Steps 1 and 2),
a /man folder containing a standard 'help' file for each R function in the package, and DESCRIPTION and NAMESPACE files used by the
R package-building software.
- Configure your computer with the appropriate R package software development tools.
- Construct the R package using the R commands R CMD check and R CMD build (R CMD install --build on Windows XP platforms)
Once the package is constructed, you can install and test it within R on compatible computer platforms using the R install.packages() function.
Tutorial: Construct and Use an R package interface to a C function
Here are the steps in the R package develpment process, using a C language function and the R development tools under the UBUNTU Linux environment. The process steps should be similar on most UNIX environments. In order to create this package on your own Linux/Unix system, you will need to install the R programming environment, a software development toolkit, and the toolkit supporting documentation.
On Linux systems, The GNU C++ compiler (GCC) and its supporting software development tools are the correct choice for constructing R packages.
To create Windows-compatible R packages under the Windows XP environment, you will need to install the appropriate software development tools. Consult Writing R Extensions; which recommends the Rtools development package. To create Windows-compatible R packages under the Linux environment, consider installing the Linux version of the Rtools toolkit provided here.
Here are the four steps:
1) Create high-level language function and interface to the R Programming Environment
The C function and its make file
Following is the C function CalcMatrixAvg() that we wish to call from the R command line:
// // this is the routine that we will call from R program // void CalcMatrixAvg(int *iNRow, int *iNRowLen, int *iNCol, int *iNColLen, double *dAverage, int *idAvgLen, const double *InMat, int *iInMatLen, double *RetOutMat) { double dSum = 0.0, dAvg = 0.0; int iCtr = 0,jCtr = 0; double *OutMat = NULL; // // dynamically allocate a local results matrix, making it // the correct size for this specific call. This is why // we use a one-dimensional vector, and two-dimensional // pointer notation to simulate a two-dimensional matrix. // OutMat = calloc((*iNRow) * (*iNCol),sizeof (double)); // // initialize the local matrix to zero. // for (iCtr = 0; iCtr < *iInMatLen; iCtr++) *(OutMat + iCtr) = (double)0.0; for (iCtr = 0; iCtr < *iNRow; iCtr++) { for (jCtr = 0; jCtr < *iNCol; jCtr++) { printf("%6.2lf ",*(InMat + ((iCtr * *iNRow) + jCtr)) ); dSum = dSum + *(InMat + ((iCtr * *iNCol) + jCtr)); } printf("\n"); } *dAverage = dSum / (*iInMatLen); // // replace each element with the difference between the element and its average. // for (iCtr = 0; iCtr < *iNRow; iCtr++) { for (jCtr = 0; jCtr < *iNCol; jCtr++) { *((OutMat) + ((iCtr * *iNRow) + jCtr)) = *(InMat + ((iCtr * *iNRow) + jCtr)) - *dAverage; } } for (iCtr = 0; iCtr < *iNRow; iCtr++) { for (jCtr = 0; jCtr < *iNCol; jCtr++) { printf("%6.2lf ",*(OutMat + ((iCtr * *iNRow) + jCtr)) ); } printf("\n"); } // // Copy the output matrix from the local, dynamic results vector // to the vector located in the calling (R) function memory space. // for (iCtr = 0; iCtr < *iInMatLen; iCtr++) *(RetOutMat + iCtr) = *(OutMat + iCtr); // // de-allocate the local results vector. // free(OutMat); // }
The last argument in the C function, RetOutMat, transfers data back to the R environment through the .C() interface (see Step 3).
Here is the makefile that produces the R shared library, compatible with the GNU cc compiler; the makefile is included in the package source for this use case.
# Makefile for building the C language shared library for the CalcMatrixAvg demonstration package. C = gcc OPTS = -c -fPIC LOADER = gcc OBJECTS = CalcMatrixAvg.o CalcMatrixAvg.so: $(OBJECTS) R CMD SHLIB -o CalcMatrixAvg.so $(OBJECTS) .c.o: ; $(C) $(OPTS) -c $< clean: -rm *.o *.so
The R function interface to the CalcMatrixAverage() function
The .C() function is R interface 'wrapper' to external C functions. Here is the .C() function interface for this example:
Lets focus on the C and R function call interfaces:
C function prototype
R language .C() function interface
// // This is the routine that we will call in the R program // void CalcMatrixAvg(int *iNRow, int *iNRowLen, int *iNCol, int *iNColLen, double *dAverage, int *idAvgLen, const double *InMat, int *iInMatLen, double *RetOutMat)
# # 'Wrapping' the C function call in the R language .C interface function # RetVec2 = .C("CalcMatrixAvg", as.integer(iMatRow), as.integer((intLen)), as.integer(iMatCol), as.integer((intLen)), as.numeric(dAvg), as.integer((numericLen)), as.numeric(iInMat), as.integer(iInMatLen), iRetVec = numeric(iInMatLen))$iRetVec
Note that the .C() function statement requires that the length of each original C function argument be passed immediately following the argument.
Note three characteristics of the C function prototype:
- All of the C function arguments are passed by reference, using pointers.
- The addition to the C function of parameters *iNRowLen, *iNColLen, *idAvgLen, and *iInMatLen.
- The last C function argument, double *RetOutMat, passes information (in this case, a vector of floating point numbers)
back and into the calling R function.
Here is the complete R script that calls the C routine.
CalcMatrixAvgR <- function(iMatRow,iMatCol,dAvg,iInMat,iInMatLen) { # # Wrapper/interface to CalcMatrixAvg C function # that computes the average of a two-dimensional matrix # passed in as a one-dimensional vector, then creates # a new matrix containing as entries the difference # between the input cell value and the matrix average. # Simple routine for use case demonstration. # # Programmer: Rick Reeves, NCEAS Scientific Programmer # August 1, 2007 # # Arguments: # iMatRow : Number of Rows, incoming matrix # iMatCol : Number of Cols, incoming matrix # dAvg : Average of the incoming matrix # iInMat : Input Matrix # iInMatLen : Number of cells (rows * cols) in the input matrix. # # note: to conform to the rules of the R .C 'C' language function # API, we will pass the length of each parameter into the C call, # immediately following each parameter. # iRetVec = vector(mode="numeric",length = iInMatLen) # numericLen = 1 intLen = 1 # # Set up a call to the C routine CalcMatrixAvg() using # the R .C() interface function. The C routine dynamically # allocates a local results vector sized to match the # dimensions (iMatRow, iMatCol) specified here. # RetVec2 = .C("CalcMatrixAvg", as.integer(iMatRow), as.integer((intLen)), as.integer(iMatCol), as.integer((intLen)), as.numeric(dAvg), as.integer((numericLen)), as.numeric(iInMat), as.integer(iInMatLen), iRetVec = numeric(iInMatLen))$iRetVec # # the answer is contained in vector RetVec2. # copy the answer back into arg list parameter iRetVec # iRetVec[1:iInMatLen] <- RetVec2[1:iInMatLen] print("back from CalcMatAvg C function call. Hit key....") return(iRetVec) }
Here is a short test R function that calls CalcMatAverageR():
# Test of CalcMatAvg # # global vector dimension parameters # these must match the maximum dimensions MAX_ROW and MAX_COLUMN # in the trialswapR.c file. # iMaxMatRow = 25 iMaxMatCol = 25 # TestWrapper <- function() { # library(CalcMatrixAvg) # iOutMatLen = iMaxMatRow * iMaxMatCol # # generate vectors that we will treat as a two dimensional array, # initialize the variables to recognizable values for debugging. # iInMat = vector(mode="numeric",length = iOutMatLen) iInMat[1:iOutMatLen] = seq(1,iOutMatLen) iOutMat = vector(mode="numeric",length = iOutMatLen) iOutMat[1:iOutMatLen] = -1.99 dAverage = -999.0 # # Call the wrapper function that manages communications with the C function. # iOutMat = CalcMatrixAvgR(iMaxMatRow,iMaxMatCol,dAverage,iInMat,iOutMatLen) # print("Back from CalcMatrixAverage! hit key...") browser() # # done. # }
2) Prepare the required components for the installable R package
Chapter 1 of Writing R Extensions (Creating R packages) describes the structure of R packages, and we recommend that you read this chapter for more details regarding the file components of R packages. Note that the specific files and folders comprising R packages will vary; however, all packages must have a top level folder with the same name as the package, and a DESCRIPTION file.
The file structure for this particular package consists of a top-level folder named CalcMatrixAvg (the same as the package name); within this top folder are two files and three folders:
- man: Contains one standard 'help' file for each separate function in the package, that are displayed when the user enters help(function_name) or ?function_name at the R command line. Click here to see the man page file for the CalcMatrixAvg function in the CalcMatrixAvg package.
- R: The R script containing the R 'wrapper' function and any other functions added by the package.
- src: The C source code file(s) and makefile.
- DESCRIPTION: Contains basic package information in a standardized format.
- NAMEPACE: Contents of this file specify which package variables should be exported to make them available to package users,
and which should be imported from other packages.
The R package documentation and description files
Once the R and C package components are complete, create the NAMESPACE and DESCRIPTION files.
Here is the DESCRIPTION file: for the package described here:
Package: CalcMatrixAvg Version: 0.0 Date: 2007-08-06 Title: Sample R package demonstrates the R / C Language interface Author: Rick Reeves (reeves [at] nceas.ucsb.edu) Maintainer: Rick Reeves (reeves [at] nceas.ucsb.edu) Depends: R (>= 2.0.1) Description: CalcMatrixAverage passes a two-dimensional matrix into a C function via the .C() interface function, where the average of the matrix is calculated. This case demonstrates the details of the R / C function interface. License: GPL (version 2 or later)
Here is the NAMESPACE file:
useDynLib(CalcMatrixAvg) export(TestWrapper) export(CalcMatAvgR)
The useDynLib statement specifies that the C function CalcMatrixAvg() is a dynamically loaded shared object.
The export statements exposes the R functions TestWrapper and CalcMatAvgR functions to the R command interface.
3) Configure your computer with the appropriate R software development tools
In the process of preparing this use case, we configured both (Ubuntu) Linux and Windows XP platforms for constructing R packages:
Ubuntu Linux package development: We used the Synaptic Package Manager , part of Ubuntu Linux Systems Administration utilites,to install the GCC software develpment tools.
Windows XP pacakge development: On the Windows XP platform, we downloaded and installed the Rtools development tools, distributed as a standard Windows installation package.
4) Construct, install, and test the new R package
Use the R commands R CMD check, R CMD build, and install.packages() to create, install, and test the CalcMatrixAvg R package.
The R command R CMD REMOVE removes an installed R package from the active R environment.
R CMD commands are executed from the UNIX command line on systems that have the R software installed.
- R CMD REMOVE Removes an installed R package from the local R configuration.
- R CMD check validates all of the components within the R package for internal consistency with the R system.
- R CMD build constructs the installable R package archive (for packages validated by R CMD check) in the form of a compressed '.gz' archive.
- NOTE: On MS Windows platforms, use the command: R CMD INSTALL --build to construct and install a Windows-compatible compressed '.zip' installation archive.
- The install.packages() R function installs the package on the user's local R environment.Once installed, the package
functions are available to future R sessions on the local machine once the package is loaded using the library() function.
Here are the required command line and R commands for the UNIX operating system:
(within the MS Windows environment, open an MS/DOS Command Window and enter these commands, referring to the above NOTE:)
% cd (to the parent directory of the 'CalcMatrixAvg' folder containing the R package components); % R CMD REMOVE CalcMatrixAvg % R CMD check CalcMatrixAvg % R CMD build CalcMatrixAvg % R > install.packages(repos=NULL,"CalcMatrixAvg_1_0.tar.gz") > library(CalcMatrixAvg) > debug(TestWrapper) > TestWrapper() > Function is operating in browse() mode: use the 'n' command to step through the function, evaluate varables, etc. > Enter 'Q' to exit browse mode.

Here is what customers think:
"This book divided into five parts and each part suggest some quick recipes of each- i.e.
1.Juice Fast
2.Weight loss
4.For Best Skin
5.Gain Energy
I'd recommended to anyone who does want to gain quick energy through Juicing, best Job by the author!!"
"Juicing is certainly not new and I was already aware of its benefits such as detoxification and weight loss but this book does an extremely good job with the recipes! The recipes for gaining energy were completely new to me but worked out pretty well. The ones for diabetics are good as well.
The weight loss recipes give you plenty of room to experiment and the ones for healthy skin do seem good as well. If you are looking for one single juicing book, this is the one you should go for. I own several books of juicing recipes and this one comes out on top."
"The book is really descriptive, it even includes the relevance or the vitamins and nutrients (health benefits) in every recipe and the calories you might get with every juice.
I especially like the part of using the pulp after juicing. The idea is really a money-saver, nutritional and can still be use for a creative cooking ingredient! This time, I am more determined to stick to juicing and add it to my other diet regimens. The process of juicing can be a little tedious, time-consuming, and — messy?? But with constant use and practice, I'll get better at it. The discipline and sacrifice will soon pay off.
PROS – beautifully formatted, informative, helpful."

Criminal Check
How long criminal checks date back vary by state and county. However, most criminal court vendors will perform checks that date back seven to 10 years. Most employers will only search records dating back seven years in counties in which you have lived, worked or studied.
Adverse Public Records
Another common element of a background check is a credit check. On your credit history, numerous public records may appear. These are called "adverse public records" and can include judgments, liens, tax debts, bankruptcies and civil suits. Delinquent payments, collections accounts, Chapter 13 bankruptcies and judgments typically remain on your record for seven years. Other bankruptcies remain for 10 years. Unpaid tax liens can remain on your record indefinitely.
Employment Records
Lastly, background checks typically involve employment verification. For this, the party conducting the background check will either call a company's human resources department directly to seek verification or contact a third-party company that maintains employment records for the firm. Larger firms tend to use third-party companies. While the retention policies vary widely, most third-party companies retain records for seven years after an employee's departure.
