In the vast filmography of Johnnie To, "Throw Down" is one of the films that definitely stands out, both for its style, but also for its significance, since To considers it one of his most personal works, particularly due to the tribute elements to "Sanshiro Sugata" and Akira Kurosawa it offers, and also for kickstarting his collaboration with Louis Koo, which would benefit both notably in the next years.
"Throw Down" is screening at Five Flavours Asian Film Festival
The script revolves mainly around Sze-to Bo, a nightclub owner who was a judo expert but for reasons unknown decided to give up the sport some years before, instead becoming a bitter alcoholic, a thief and a gambler with a huge dept to the mafia. Tony is a current judo champion and a very eager fighter, who wants to challenge Sze-to to a fight, thus barging into his life in the most violent fashion. Mona is a girl from Taiwan who dreams of becoming a singer but was nearly forced to prostitution by her previous manager. The three individuals soon become a trio for no particular reason, while a number of other characters, most of them judo practitioners who constantly challenge each other, interact with them. Brother Savage, a triad boss that the trio steal from, Master Cheng, Sze-to's teacher who wants him to enter an upcoming tournament to restore his dojo's fame, and Lee Ah-kong, the current number one in Judo, who still holds a grudge because Sze-to disappeared before their fight some years ago. Eventually, the reasons behind the protagonist's retirement are revealed, and the film takes a whole new direction.
Let me start with the two most obvious aspects of the movie. Despite some "winks" to "Sanshiro Sugata" (Master Cheng's demented son always introduces himself by saying, " I will be Sanshiro Sugata, you will be Higaki", maybe the intro and the final fight scene) the film has very little to do with Kurosawa's debut. Secondly, the this is a really weird movie, even for a HK action one, with the illogicality usually associated with the category reaching new levels, as the script in essence forbids any "Why?" questions. These aspects however, do not mean that "Throwdown" is a bad film, but exactly the opposite, since To has managed to combine a number of additional, quite diverse elements (fighting, ironic humor, noir aesthetics) in an impressive fashion, resulting in a truly entertaining, and in essence, great movie. Even its fractured style, since the narrative is mostly the sum of episodes rather than a compact movie, seems to work in its favor, highlighting in that fashion, To's great directorial abilities.
Regarding the three aforementioned elements, the fighting is the one that gives the film its astonishing rhythm, as Yeun Bun's choreographies are as close to a violent dance as we have ever seen on screen, with the motif of the dislocated hand also touching the element of humor. And talking about humor, this aspect follows exactly the quirky aesthetics that permeate the movie, through the fact that almost every character in the movie seems to know judo, Master Cheng's son, and David Richardson's fast and abrupt cuts, with his editing also implementing the aforementioned rhythm. The noir aesthetics derive mostly from the night club and the fact that a number of the characters are shady to say the least, with Siu Keung Cheng's cinematography implementing this aspect in great fashion.
The acting is also on a very high level, with To presenting his protagonists in a fashion that could be described as "cool caricatures". Aaron Kwok as Tony and Cheung Siu-fai as Brother Savage are the ones the embody this characteristic the most, while Tony Leung Ka-fai as Lee Ah-kong is probably the coolest character in the film. Cherrie Ying as Mona is also very good in the sole female/not judo proficient part in the movie, with her acting raising her character much above the usual "damsel in distress" archetype. The one who steals the show, though, is Louis Koo as Sze-to Bo, with him presenting the persona of the former winner/current loser in impressive fashion, in a role that reminded me of why he became a superstar to begin with.
Not much more to say "Throw Down" is one of Johnnie To's best films, and that says a lot by itself when we are talking about a director who has shot 70 films.

Audio Technica ATH-CKR70iS Review
Audio Technica is one of the most known audio brands. They are known for their fantastic high quality headphones that are also extremely well priced. And the clear example of their high quality is that the brand is also loved by audiophiles. Which is why I recently decided to get myself a pair of new earbuds. I wen't with the Audio Technica ATH-CKR70iS which are really highly rated earbuds, especially for their audio quality. So I decided to finally write this review after using them for a couple of months!
In The Box
- Audio Technica ATH-CKR70iS
- 4 Silicone eartips (XS, S, M and L)
- Pouch
I really like the Audio Technica ATH-CKR70iS headphones design. It's really simple but still quite modern. There's definitely nothing boring about them.
The earbuds are made out of plastic and rubber. They come with 4 different size eartips (XS, S, M and L), which should definitely be enough for everyone. I really like how well they fit and how comfortable they are. I had to try the size S and M eartips a couple of times till I found the one that fit me the best. That's really important if you want to get the most out of them.
As you can see from the image above, the headphones have a round lengthy cable. At the end of it is a 3.5 mm L-angled audio jack. There is also controller on the cable for accepting calls and changing the volume. I really like that Audio Technica has kept the same style on that as well so it actually matches the earbuds. The cable is also decently thick. It's definitely not as thin as many other earbuds I have tried or used.
It also comes with a nice velvety pouch that I really like. There is a clip at the opening which opens with a little squeeze. I really like the quality of this as well. So overall the whole package is really impressive and high quality.
Audio Quality
The Audio Technica ATH-CKR70iS have a really good overall sound quality. You can listen to really any type of genre that you want. But there are some genres that sound better than the others. For example it's heavier in the highs which makes it fantastic for Rock and classical music.
Now personally I'm a huge fan of rap music and EDM. Which means that all the music I like has a lot of bass. I have read plenty of reviews where they have mentioned that the headphones don't really have the greatest lows and it lacks bass. Well I disagree with that and for me I feel like there's plenty of bass in these earbuds. Obviously they don't compare with larger studio headphones, but as far as earbuds go, I have no complaints with the bass. I have also turned up the volume with those as well and I didn't hear any cracking or weird sounds. So I can definitely recommend these for all types of music.
I'm actually really happy with Audio Technica headphones. They sound really good and I like how I can listen to any type of music with them. Plus they fit me really well so that's also a plus for the design. Which I haven't read any negative reviews about either. So I definitely recommend these if you are looking for the best under $100 earbuds. They are definitely worth the money and sound better than many other more expensive options. They also feel much more durable and just overall a really nice and solid build quality.

From the time they are young, we care a lot about our animals. We want our pets to thrive in their daily lives and be around for as long as possible! They bring unconditional love, loyalty, and joy into our mundane, or stressful lives. How often do we think about the one daily thing that keeps our four-legged friends fueled and ready for each adventurous day?
Pet food is a necessity in our pet's life! What you put into them, similar to ourselves, is what you will get out. If we eat nothing but garbage food daily, we end up feeling down, depressed, and end up requiring medical attention if we continuously engage in that life. Food is the necessity of life for us that keeps us healthy and ready to take on our days. Similarly, pets work exactly how we do. Consider this infographic on feeding premium food:
Looking for a good premium food to feed your pet? Come out to Koch Farm Service to see the difference diet can make for your animal. We have different brands to meet various needs and price ranges. For a free nutrition consultation, either call, message, or stop in the store. We would love to help you choose the perfect food for your pet that will meet their nutritional needs and go beyond to ensure your pet is in the best condition they can be!

Three female Nobel Peace laureates visited Bangladesh last Wednesday to meet with Rohingya Muslim women who have fled attacks by security forces in Buddhist-majority Myanmar.
Shirin Ebadi from Iran, Tawakkol Karman from Yemen and Mairead Maguire from Northern Ireland were on a mission to assess the violence committed against Rohingya women and the situation of Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh, the Nobel Women's Initiative, a platform of six female peace laureates established in 2006, said.
They also met with Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and other officials and volunteers during their visit.
The three female Nobel Peace laureates called upon Myanmar's de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi for an immediate end to the "genocide" of the Rohingya people.
"If she fails to do so, her choice is clear; resign or be held accountable, along with the army commanders for the crimes committed," said Tawakkol Karman.
A humanitarian tragedy
Thousands of Rohingya Muslims have fled Myanmar to neighboring Bangladesh over atrocities committed by security forces and Buddhist mobs since August.
Hundreds of Rohingya women were reported to have been raped and killed by soldiers and mobs during the attacks.
The United Nations and the United States have described the army crackdown on Rohingyas as "ethnic cleansing."
Sunday marks the six-month anniversary of the start of the Rohingya refugee crisis, Asia's worst since the Vietnam War.
More than 750,000 refugees, mostly children and women, have fled Myanmar since August 25, 2017, when Myanmar forces launched a crackdown on the minority Muslim community, according to Amnesty International.
At least 9,000 Rohingya were killed in Rakhine state from Aug. 25 to Sept. 24, according to Doctors Without Borders.
In a report last December, the global humanitarian group said the deaths of 71.7 percent or 6,700 Rohingya were caused by violence. They include 730 children below the age of 5.
The UN has documented mass gang rapes, killings — including of infants and young children — brutal beatings and disappearances committed by security personnel. In a report, UN investigators said such violations may have constituted crimes against humanity.

My Jaybird X3 isn't turning on
My Jaybird X3 is not turning on.
I've tried to use this 2 reset models:
- Factory reset
1. Make sure your buds are powered off.
2. From an off state, press and hold the power button for 8 seconds until the LEDs flash red and green.
3. Double press the power button. The LED will flash rapidly and you should hear a double tone. Your buds have now been reset.
- 8 Button process
1. Firmly but quickly press the power button 8 times and then hold for 5 seconds. Repeat 2 times.
2. When finished, plug the headset into the charger for 2.5 hours and check the color of the LED status lights.
3. Power ON the device by holding the power button for 10 seconds or more.
But the problem hasn't solved. When I put the headphone to charge the light has been green. It indicates that the equipment is charged.
What could i do now to solve this problem?
thanks a lot

Hi Waldemir,
I am sorry to hear that your Jaybird X3 won't turn on. This is not the behavior and performance expected from the product.
Please try these suggestions that can help to resolve the issue of your headset:
- Computers are the best and safest method, as is anything 1 AMP or less.
- Try a different power source/charger
- Car chargers produce a much greater power supply and should be avoided.
- Over-charging the battery will quickly reduce the life of the headphones, so in addition to monitoring the power supply, limit the charge time to 2.5 hours,
- To get the most out of your battery it is recommended to charge the buds when the low battery status is indicated.
- Avoid charging your headphones after exposure to sweat.
- Make sure charging port/cradle is clear of any debris.

Hi, Bruce.
I still have been with the problem. My Jaybird X3 won't turn on. I used the 2 reset models (Factory reset and 8 Button process) and I tried to charge in another computer, but the problem wasn't solved. When I try to charge (at any computer) the LED status lights has been green, but the equipement won't turn on.
What do I need to do? Is there another reset model?
Hi Waldemir,
I appreciate the update.
Is it possible for you to try and plug the buds to an outlet using a wall adaptor? This will help us further isolate the issue.
Thank you for understanding and I look forward to hearing back from you.

I got mine from Amazon yesterday and only bought them because of the 4.5 star rating. They worked one time today and now will not power on. Why don't we all leave a one star so people like us don't keep buying garbage that doesn't work. They clearly aren't fixing the issue
Disappointed customer
Same here. I have been meticulous in how I have looked after these headphones and they have only had light use but today they stopped working and will not switch on. In the charging cradle the green led switches on but that is it. None of the reset instructions work. Very disappointed. I will likely not be buying the Jaybird brand again.

Has anyone experienced their soundbar randomly playing music at different times during the day? It was 3am and it started playing heavy metal music on mine. Have only started experiencing this recently.
Hi Fattpanda,
Thank you for posting and welcome to the community. I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble with your speaker playing when it shouldn't be and I would be happy to help with this.
When your speaker has started playing unexpectedly, if you were to open the Bose Music app, what source does the soundbar say it is playing from?
Finding out where this music is being played from will point us in the right direction to work out how it is starting.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind Regards,
Keith L - Community Support
Hey Keith, looks like its from spotify.
Hi Fattpanda,
Thank you for letting me know that information.
If it is playing from Spotify it is possible to start the speaker playing from either the Bose Music app, Spotify Connect or the remote (if you have set a preset for it). Given what you have said so far, the most likely options are going to be the Bose Music app or Spotify Connect.
Do you share your Spotify or Bose Music accounts with anyone else? It could be someone is controlling the soundbar from the apps without you knowing about it, or accidentally choosing your speaker in Spotify Connect.
Also, is your Soundbar connected to a shared Wi-Fi network?
The first thing I would recommend we do to test this is to remove the Spotify account from the Bose Music app. This will narrow down the options for what is starting the speaker playing, and you can re-add the account after testing it for a while without.
To remove the Spotify account you would want to go to the account settings on the Bose Music app, by going to the 'My Bose' page and selecting the icon of a person in the top right-hand corner. From there select manage music services > Spotify > remove.
Let me know how you get on.
Kind Regards,
Keith L

I am a researcher, writer and speaker with roots in evolutionary anthropology and a deep curiosity in the dynamics of the human psyche. The questions that engage me are,
- What makes us who we are?
- How are we shaped by the particular emotional, relational, cultural and physical world in which we live?
- How are we shaped by our evolutionary heritage?
- How does that shaping play out in our experience of ourselves, and others?
- How does that shaping play out in our relationship to ourselves and others?
- How can we expand and change the way that we experience, and relate to, ourselves and others?
My exploration takes the form of both scholarship and paying attention to what I am living in my own life.
I grew up partially in London, and partially in the countryside, where I began to explore different ways of experiencing myself through horse-riding. I did not know what I was doing at the time; all I knew was that I loved my horse, and was passionate about competing in horse trials, galloping across country and jumping obstacles. However, not only was the horse-world very different to the world in which I was growing up, but riding depends on non-verbal, embodied communication, and that was a completely different world to the one in which I was being educated where what mattered were words and intellect.
I studied Human Sciences as an undergraduate at the University of Oxford – an interdisciplinary degree that considers humans as a biological, social and cultural species. Discovering how our species came into being, and the evolutionary forces which have shaped us, was particularly exciting. It added new layers to my experience of what it means to be a human being.
Fuelled by a desire to learn more I went to the University of Ann Arbor, Michigan, to complete a joint master's degree in anthropology and psychology. Keen to do my own research, I then returned to Oxford to embark on a PhD in biological anthropology. I focused on evolutionary anthropology, which explores how evolutionary processes contribute to shaping aspects of human social behaviour.
My research took me to a wilderness region of Tanzania to work with the Datoga, a traditional cattle-herding people. I studied what families needed to survive, as well as the costs and benefits to women of being married to men who have several wives. (Click here for more photos, or go to 'galleries').
Living in the world of the Datoga brought deep learning, both academically and personally. It gave me extraordinary insights into lives which were both profoundly different to my own, and which had significant underlying similarities.
However, living with the Datoga was also very tough. Daily life for the Datoga revolved around looking after livestock, collecting water and preparing food. There was time for resting and socialising, dances and rituals, but the tasks required for survival took priority. Forty five per cent of children born died before their 15th birthday – a mortality rate that is common among traditional peoples and which was the norm in the West before modern hygiene, sanitation and medicine. It was hard to witness and record that reality.
Whilst living with the Datoga, home was my Land Rover. I carried 200 litres of drinking water, a small solar panel to run my lap-top, and I slept in a tent that folded out from the roof. The roof-tent was my luxury – it kept me safe from insects, snakes and other animals, yet at the same time it allowed me spectacular views of the rift valley and of the night sky. On a couple of occasions the full moon was so bright that I could read and write without needing a torch.
To get to where I worked was a six hour drive from the nearest town – the last three hours of which were along a cattle track. The track was littered with acacia thorns as large as masonry nails, and my tyres would suffer several punctures on each trip. I learnt how to mend punctures, and became a half-decent amateur mechanic. During the rainy season I spent many hours digging my Land Rover out of mud-holes!
By the time I finished my PhD I knew that a life in academia was not for me. My then partner worked for the renowned wildlife film-maker Hugo van Lawick, and for two years my home was a tent at Hugo's campsite, on the border of the Serengeti National Park. To live in one of the most awe-inspiring wildlife areas of the world was a huge privilege. It also gave me a sense of the lives of our ancestors who were not only gatherers and hunters, but who were also hunted. At night we were visited by hyenas who stole meat from the freezer and soap from the wash-basins just outside our tents (soap contains fat). One morning we were unable to get to the long-drop (toilet) because a lion was eating a gazelle between our bedroom tents and the toilet tent. Living amongst wildlife brought a consciousness of my own animal body: as I walked from one area of camp to another I became aware that my body was instinctually alert to possible dangers, and constantly on the lookout for snakes or scorpions, buffalo or elephants, hyenas or lion.
When I returned to live the UK after seven years in Tanzania, I began working in television and co-produced a couple of documentaries. I loved the challenge of making ideas accessible to a wider audience, as well as the process of interweaving the expertise of different individuals to create a coherent film. However, I discovered that I do not think in visual pictures, and so realised that documentaries were not for me and that writing was a better medium for my work.
Around that time I also realised that I needed to explore my own internal world. What I had lived in my external world had been rich; what I had lived internally, and in my relationships, had often been painful. I wanted to change that, and sensed that I first needed to understand what made me who I was, and what I carried deep in my psyche and body. As I began to venture into my internal world, I underpinned what was happening in a therapeutic process, by reading widely around emotional trauma, by going to lectures and by participating in workshops.
Discovering the phenomenon of 'shame', as well as the writing of Jungian analysts Donald Kalsched and Marion Woodman, was a revelation; it encouraged me to connect to what I carried in both my mind and body. I embarked on a series of BodySoul Rhythms® intensives taught by Marion Woodman, Mary Hamilton and Ann Skinner, followed by a three year training program which they facilitated. Through the work of pioneers like Ellert Nijenhuis, Allan Schore and Daniel Siegel I learnt about attachment theory, dissociation, and how childhood experiences shape our nervous system; that helped me to experience myself differently. Evolutionary anthropology also contributed an important piece of the puzzle; it enabled me to understand why certain ways of being and responses came to exist in the first place.
My book, Understanding and Healing Emotional Trauma: Conversations with Pioneering Clinicians and Researchers, was born out of this journey. It took nine years from conception to publication, and was published by Routledge in December, 2014.
When I embarked on my therapeutic process I imagined that I would get a few things 'sorted', and then my life would be fixed and I would not have to think about it anymore. Fifteen years later I know that it does not work like that! We do not get 'fixed' – at least not in the way that I envisioned back then. What I carry in the depths of my mind and my body will remain with me. However, what has changed is my relationship with what I carry, and thus how I experience both myself and other people.
Additionally, what began as a desire to 'sort out a few things' has morphed into an on-going search for deeper understanding and a continuing process of learning, change and growth. As a result, although my life is nowhere close to being fixed, I now live in a world which is infinitely richer than anything I could have imagined when I started on this journey. I am grateful for that reality.

Once again it is the end of the year, and as I stated in a blog post last year, it is the "the fun time when we in the public relations industry enjoy making lists." And we love reading lists, too! So this year instead of making my own list from the HMA Public Relations team I wanted to share a fun list from Laura Hale Brockway (and no, not because we share the same last name) on PR Daily called "Holiday puns every communicator should avoid."
A few on the list you may need to avoid depending on who you're talking to, but most are "pun-tastic" (I mean who doesn't like saying "let's get elfed up") and I will for sure incorporate them into my conversations over the next week.
Which of the above would you avoid? Why? Any other holiday favorites you want to share?

The past decade has seen a significant increase in the frequency and potency of social media marketing. This is hardly surprising since there has been anenormous increase in the number of of social media users. The clutter formed on social media along with the rise of new marketing tools and algorithms has changed the entire landscape for both marketers and their target audience alike. Companies of all sizes are using social media platforms for marketing purposes. From large-scale business to medium and small-scale business, allare investing heavy into Social Media Marketing and using the medium effectively in order to reach its target audience.
With a large baseof users and marketers on various platforms, advertising has become more competitive and challenging on key social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Presence of almost every business on social media space has left limited space for advertisers with a lot to show. Social media platforms are also careful about what content their users get to see based on their interest and the money spent by the brand. This ensures the users get to see the highest quality of content leading to greatest engagement.
Apart from creating an engaging content, the easiest way to make the most out of your campaign is by increasing the money spent on social media ads, this has become vital for success on social media. Companies are in a hoard to get the user's attention by boosting their content or else they know they will fall behind. Moreover, companies should focus on the platform that best suits their need. Being active on every platform is not necessary. Often, it's right to ignore a specific social media network if it isn't delivering the desired results.
Advertising on social media has become verycompetitiveand intense. With the relevance and impact it has on a user's mind, this isthe 'Golden Age' of social marketing. But this also brings many challenges for marketers in terms of competition faced and costs incurred in running social media ads. Earlier a presence on social media meant an added advantage for companies and ad creators but in the current scenario, it is nothing more than a prerequisite. Also,with the new breed of intelligent consumers it has become difficult to persuade and keep, which results in marketers constantly changing their strategies. Every advertiser wants largest user reach that in future can get converted to sales. However, the motive behind social marketing now is not limited to just get sales but it's become about how to leave a long-lasting impression on a consumer's mind.
The internet has revolutionized the way people interact, communicate and share information amongst each other. Social media has become an imminent platform not just for the companies but also for the consumers to share their views and opinions. Along with the challenges, social media brings a lot of opportunitiesfor marketers to showcase their products and services. A higher brand recognition, improved brand loyalty, reduced cost of marketing, are all major positives that social media marketing comes with. With a joint presence of more than 2 billion users on social media platforms, companies have a vast user base at their disposal to make the most of.
Like any other form of advertising, social media marketing has also been through a lot of changes to better suit the needs of the ever-growing internet landscape. New technological improvements bring in new trends in the advertisement space as well. Companies follow these trends religiously and want to become the first mover to garner largest audience reach. Importance to superior customer service has led to the exponential usage of Chabot's. Consumer relationship management (CRM) has become an important attributeof social media. Almost every advertiser with social media presence is using Chabot's for improved customer experience.
Another important aspect in this context is video content. In the mobile-first culture, it has taken over social marketing as video ads have a better brand recall value. In 2017, 90% of the content shared online by users was video based content.
Apart from these, influencer marketing is picking up more than ever. Individuals who enjoy high followership and reach act as key influencers for their expertise for various brands.Companies have become more thoughtful about the influencers they want to work with. You need to have clarity on the decision to choose the influencers and whether they will help deliver the brand's goal. This new age advertising catering to the audience brings with itself some key challenges and opportunities as well. No matter how complex the social media marketing process has become, it is impossible to ignore social media if one aspires to reach a global audience. With the right marketing strategies and proper execution, companies can generate revenueby tapping into the right audience.

In this article, I will introduce how to deal with certain errors in STYLY. I have quoted some errors and questions from the STYLY facebook group, so I hope you find it informative. I plan to add more tips in the future.
- 1 When STYLY doesn't open, or you can't use STYLY for some reason
- 2 Global button doesn't respond
- 3 The assets in the scene become dark
- 4 Google Poly 3D models are not visible from the HTCViveHMD
- 5 How can I delete models I uploaded to My Models
When STYLY doesn't open, or you can't use STYLY for some reason
WebEditor recommended system requirements
If your computer or software platform doesn't meet the recommended system requirements, STYLY may not move properly. You can check the requirement details below.
- OS:Windows(64bit)、Mac
- GPU:discrete GPU (NVIDIA、 AMD)、Intel HD Graphics (4000 and above)
- Memory:more than 4GB、8GB or more is recommended
- WEB browsers:Google Chrome
※ Please take note that iPad, iPhone, Android tablets or smartphones are not supported. If you encounter problems such as STYLY doesn't open properly, or stops during loading, one of the following might be the cause for it.
Using a web browser other than Google Chrome
Google Chrome is recommended for STYLY. We do not even test Internet Explorer, so if you are using it, I recommend downloading Google Chrome and test it in Chrome.
If you are using a iOS device
STYLY doesn't support iOS devices, so please use a Windows or macOS device.
If you are using a 32bit Windows OS
If you are using a Windows computer, please check if it the OS is 32bit or 64bit. Please note that STYLY is created for 64bit computers, so you cannot use STYLY with 32bit computers.
Network speed
STYLY deals with 3D data, resulting in larger amounts of data than the usual internet site. I recommend using STYLY in environments with stable high network speed.
If you are using tablet computers or touch panel computers
STYLY is made assuming that use a mouse with a computer. Even if you touch or swipe on the screen, sometimes the screen might not respond.
The Global button can only be used when the side button is in rotate mode or scale mode. So, if it doesn't respond, you should check if it is in move mode. For details about the functions of the Global button, please refer to the this article.
The assets in the scene become dark
When the assets in your scene loses light and your scene gets dark, it is probably because you accidentally deleted the light source for your scene, the Directional Light. So, you have to add a new Directional Light to your scene.
Press Assets > 3D Model (Sky and Grounds) > Directional Light.
The scene has lighted up once you add the Directional Light to the scene.
Check the hierarchy, and you will find the Directional Light there.
Google Poly 3D models are not visible from the HTCViveHMD
Please upadate the STYLY application in Steam, and try it again in the updated version.
How can I delete models I uploaded to My Models
If the uploaded object is referenced from another scene, it will result in some kind of error, so there is currently no delete function in STYLY. With the current features, uploaded models cannot be used by anyone other than the uploader. The internal unique identifiers used in the system are very long and unpredictable character strings. Please send bug reports to:
- Japanese:STYLY助け合い所
- English:STYLY user group
- E-mail:firstname.lastname@example.com

Jersey Harbours
Jersey Marinas
Jersey Coastguard
Jersey Airport
Ports of Jersey has published its
latest Quality of Service Report for the period July to September 2019.
The quarterly report covers a wide
range of 'service' areas, including aircraft and sea sailings punctuality, time
spent at security search, waiting time for baggage reclaim at the Airport as
well as marina berth waiting lists.
Of the 3,718 commercial aircraft movements over the three months, 75% of
them arrived within 15 minutes of the scheduled time, 73% departed within 15
minutes of the scheduled time and 33% of flights arrived earlier than expected.
The statistics report that the average delay on both arriving and departing
flights was 16 minutes and that 1.3% of flights, both inbound and outbound,
were cancelled.
Ports of Jersey recognises that reducing
the expected queuing time through central security remains an important factor
for its passengers. It has made several improvements to the layout of security,
brought the service provision in-house and introduced the technical ability to
track and monitor the process, ensuring appropriate resources and facilities
are available. Timely communication and engagement with departing passengers,
reminding them to allow enough time to clear security, especially during busy
periods as well as advising on preparing for security search has also helped in
reducing queuing times. Over this 3-month summer period 98.8% of passengers
cleared security within 15 minutes. Similarly, in terms of baggage reclaim, 90%
of baggage from aircraft to carousel were delivered in under 20 minutes.
In terms of maritime movement, 85%
of sea sailings arrived or departed St Helier Harbour within 30 minutes of the
scheduled time with 2.1% cancelled during this period due to operational
Finally, Ports of Jersey carefully
monitors the number of complaints it receives across the business and the
length of time it takes to handle. Of the 51 formal complaints received during
this period, all were resolved within 10 days of receipt. Of the total
complaints received, 33 (65%) of them were related to the activities of one of
our business partners rather than being the responsibility of Ports of
A copy of the latest report and
its findings, covering the period July – September (Q3) 2019, which, as part of

This is the 750 Ct "Gold Rush" clay composite poker chip set from Claysmith Gaming in an aluminum case. This set includes 750 of the finest casino grade clay composite poker chips, a free dealer button, 5 dice and 3 decks of playing cards. Claysmith offers true casino quality poker chips for the home player. The Gold Rush inlay is set upon the Claysmith Gaming Greek Key molded poker chip. The Gold Rush has twelve thin stripes in bunches of three for its edge markings.The layout of this poker chip is similar to historic Golden Nugget Casino chips. The inlay itself uses a wood grain, a golden nugget, and black diamonds around a golden wheel to convey is old west theme. The denomination is written along the top and bottom while it is also printed on the left and right of the inlay.
The fictitious casino destination "Gold Rush" is written on the center of the inlay. About the Brand: Claysmith Gaming is synonymous with poker quality. Claysmith brings casino aestheticism with fresh new designs to your home game.Claysmith poker chips feel and look substantial, which enhances your playing experience. Most home use poker chips are just a component of the game. Claysmith chips are a part of the enjoyment of the game.
Players are excited when they hear that you will be playing with Claysmith chips in your poker game. You will be proud when you set them on your table. Claysmith has analyzed thousands of poker chips over the history of casino gaming to arrive at their own edgy designs. For a poker chip to be interesting they need to look legitimate and tell a story. Every poker chip that Claysmith has produced garners a little bit of Las Vegas style and exhibits a fresh look at the history of gaming.
Claysmith chips are superior for four reasons: Inlays, Edge Spots, Molds and Materials. Inlays Claysmith prefers interesting inlay designs and avoids adding just another boring poker chip to the market. Inlay design is the most important component of the manufacturing process and each chip is designed by a team of artists. Claysmith ensures that every inlay design employs cutting edge techniques and that each chip appears as if it could have come direct from the casino floor.
Every inlay tells a story and evokes a feeling of nostalgia. Edge Spots Claysmith employs a four color approach to their poker chips. Each poker chip has a base color and three accent colors used on the edge spot.All poker chips use a different color scheme. This process yields an exciting and wonderful array of colors on your poker table. The edge spots are also unique and exciting. Claysmith avoids using the simple 8 stripe approach or a boring dual colored rectangle when designing the chip edge spots. Triangles, tri stripes, quadrangles and multi colors rectangles are all apart of Claysmith gaming's edge spot arsenal. Molds Claysmith Gaming has designed unique and interesting molds that create an engraved impression (known as mold marks) around the chip.
Claysmith chips are not simply boring flat smooth discs. The mold marks provide the chip with an identity even before you place the inlay.
Casinos use a mold mark for security and branding. If your chips do not have mold marks, then they will not look or feel authentic. Mold markings give a poker chip texture, security and aestheticism.Mold markings give Claysmith poker chips a personality. Materials Claysmith uses the finest clays and composite materials during the production process. Only casino quality raw materials are used in their molds. Not only do the chips look like they have come off the casino floor, but they feel like authentic. The item "750 ct Gold Rush 13.5 Gram Casino Grade Poker Chip Set Aluminum Case" is in sale since Thursday, January 19, 2017. This item is in the category "Collectibles\Casino\Chips\Poker Chips". The seller is "shopilee" and is located in Greenfield, Indiana. This item can be shipped to United States.

text: Penny Patton 1,109 Posted March 4, 2011 This is in the old Blogorum archivem but the community search doesn't seem to find those so I'm reposting this to keep it more visible for all residents.----------------------------------------------------------------------Camera placement is important. In the videogame industry this is common wisdom. Game developers spent decades experimenting, improving and pretty much perfecting the art of camera placement in 3D videogames.Unfortunately, the SL camera does not take advantage of any of that experience. As a result, the camera sits way over your avatar's head, angled down. Not very immersive or engaging. More like you're watching a character from afar rather than interacting with the world through them.This has also affected how we build. It's common knowledge that avatars are generally oversized, often close to 7 or 8′ tall, some pushing almost 9′. And yet, the environments we build and explore are larger still, often fully double scale compared to real life. 5m high ceilings instead of the more typical 2.59, 20x20m rooms instead of 10x10m or 5x5m rooms. We need to build so much larger to compensate for SL's camera.Some will point out that you need to compensate for any third person view. This is correct, however with a proper 3rd person view you'd only really be affected by a room as small as about 2x3m, like a bathroom or walk in closet. You'd easily be able to navigate a 5x5m apartment with a typical 2.59m high ceiling.The irony of all this up-scaling is that it makes SL smaller. We can't re-size our land to match, afterall, so we either need to buy more or settle for a "smaller" build.These up-scaled builds also eat more of our alotted prims. A 20x20m room might take 16 prims where the same room done to 10x10m scale takes up only 1/4th the land area and can be done in a mere 6 prims (or even 3 prims if you build as efficiently as possible) because you don't bump heads with that 10x10x10m prim size limit.So here you are. Alternate camera settings you can easily enter into the viewer's debug panel to get a better look at Second Life.———————————————————-CameraOffsetDefault (In Viewer 1 based viewers, including TPVs like Ascent/Phoenix/Imprudence)CameraOffsetRearView (In Viewer 2 including TPVs such as Kirstens, Starlight and Catznip)X: -2.000Y: -0.400 (Make positive for a left shoulder view or keep 0.000 for a centred view.)Z: -0.200FocusOffsetDefault (In Viewer 1 based viewers, including TPVs like Ascent/Phoenix/Imprudence)FocusOffsetRearView (In Viewer 2 including TPVs such as Kirstens, Starlight and Catznip)X: 0.900Y: -0.700 (Make positive for a left shoulder view or keep 0.000 for a centred view.)Z: 0.200----------------------------------------- In addition, Viewer 2.1 on up supports multiple camera presets in the form of "Rear View", "Front View" and "Side View". The settings I name above are to overwrite your rear view, which is the default setting SL will always revert to. You can also overwrite the Front and Side views with whatever camera settings you find useful. To find the other debug settings replace the "RearView" portion of the name with "FrontView" or "GroupView" to alter the front and side view camera presets. In your View window in the SL viewer you can switch between these views with the press of a button. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My Story
Hello! I'm Nicole Marquez, and I still can't believe that this is my life and this is my story. But here goes…
In January 2008, I packed my bags and moved to New York to pursue my Broadway dreams. I was in the big city, going to auditions, and pursuing the big dream.
Then came the plot twist.
On August 30, 2008, I was on top of the world! Heading home after two auditions, I realized my keys were missing. I was locked out. So, brave big-city athletic-girl that I was, I went to the roof, hoping to go down the fire escape to an open window and make it in to my apartment that way.
Instead, I fell off the roof.
What exactly happened is a mystery. I don't know how I fell, or how the fall even happened. I learned later that I was found lying for eight hours, broken and bleeding in the building's air shaft next to the garbage. I don't remember being taken to the hospital, unconscious and not expected to survive.
I do remember waking up in the hospital, hooked up to machines and with no idea what had come before or what was coming next.
Thus began my journey. It's still ongoing—but man oh man, it's been quite a ride already. Spoiler alert: I'm not done yet. I'm a rare bird, I am now classified as an ambulatory incomplete quadriplegic. Meaning, I shouldn't be walking...
But here I am.

April 1
The sweet pain
when we fall in love
becoming more like the quiet
we wake to alone in the middle of the night.
The way the earth is alone, even with a billion
suns around it.
That sweet pain and this heart are all I have
to offer you.
April 2
Ten thousand doors open into heaven
or to a prison cell.
Generosity is withheld from those we cannot bear to look in the eye
when we forget there is no Other.
April 3
We are locked inside a room
and all we need to do is lean against the wall.
Effortlessness, whether in suffering or joy
creates space between atoms.
Knowing this, we pass through.
April 4
Fourth of April
I wake to rain and backache. Pain in the left elbow
become chronic.
In the crown of my head
wood doves mated for life are cooing over their first eggs.
Your face is where I come to live, die and be
born again.
In your face I see the world from a thousand open windows.
Doves are flying out of them!
How the old are always making love
with their eyes.
April 5
You may be tired now but you won't be tired then.
You may believe you are joyless but you are filled
and over flowing.
You are standing on tip toes trying not to drown in the waves
of this ocean of joy.
I give you my word on it.
April 6
Drops of blood streaming down my arm
follow the same course the River Jordan does
The power to receive energy from light
to release it
without effort or intention
is there.
The power to deceive, to corrupt and be corrupted
to believe that nothing we do has any consequences
is also there in the human heart.
Where does it all come from?
God finds it too elementary to explain.
We go on like this until our hearts understand
how to give back what we hope for
April 7
My preference is that God look exactly like the one I love
and answer to her name.
Or like the stranger I pass without acknowledging.
The orphaned squirrel who came to the toe of my boot
calling for his mother.
Every leaf of every tree I have seen or not seen.
The sparkling emptiness between stars.
Your right hand taking hold of mine.
My own face in a spoonful of water or your face right now.
April 8
I would like to have something of my Grandfather's
something small enough to hold in the hand.
He always told me
"To be intoxicated with God is alright
but it is still an intensity of ego
just as joy and rage are both intensities of Awe.
Here, where we are now
is where the love is."
April 9
Life is the stone we break our hearts upon.
You are luckier than most.
You have wasted your opportunities in the world
thrown your many talents into dust.
It is now and has always been broken hearted love
that is the source, the goal and the perfection
of every life lived well.
April 10
There is a hollow in which I live
a creek running through it that will flood
in April.
We can allow a heart to take form inside of emptiness.
It will open and accept every face as its own.
First pretend to be a person
then feel a Presence separate from your self.
Begin to love this Presence as if it is another.
All to make an opening, so what is Real
can enter as a breath
that will blow away every structure of belief.
Allows the Real to be perceived and held
to what extent a human being can.
As Robin Williamson sings, "Whatever you think
it's more than that."
April 11
There is an Existence alive and conscious of itself
moving within the single wide trailer of the body.
It comes as a great wind
taking down walls, breaking windows
blowing doors off of their hinges.
For those who have ears, it speaks. For those who have eyes, it appears.
For those with heart, it opens inside them
a blossom whose nectar is blood.

One part Vegas magician, two parts genius and a dash of Olympic runner would vaguely describe, former MHS principal, Peter Diskin. He would magically appear in the halls when we least expected it, phasing through solid lockers to be present! With the prowess of an expert chess player, he was always several steps ahead of his student body. Yet, that never stopped us from attempting to outwit the master on April fool's Day. We plotted and planned, amused with our own cunning, only to realize the sting of his retribution. Mysteriously, our lockers were completely empty! How did he know it was us? Try using, the principal, has my books and homework as an excuse. He was indeed, fun!
I'll never forget a time in his office, having a screaming match with a fellow classmate. He sat calmly in his chair and let us have it out, then he casually excused us and, as I left his office, he stopped me, looked me straight in my eye and, told me how proud he was of me for standing up for myself. That was over 20 years ago, a defining moment because it replaced the hurt of having to defend who I was and it gave me courage to speak up more often. In fact I can't even remember the girl's name I was arguing with.
What kind of principal, teacher, parent or boss are you? Are you there for your people through the good, bad, and, ugly? Do they feel connected enough to have fun with you and understand you are also someone present for real problems? Will you be that principal, 20 years from now, someone can write about the incredible gifts you gave them for a life time?
Have fun today! Keep it nice. Keep it wise and choose to make a difference!
