Science Park birthday. The sixteenth anniversary of the Science Park was held yesterday with an open day in which there was no shortage of music, theater, movies and astronomy. The birthday of the museum became the scene of a great show of knowledge. More than five hundred people from colleges, universities and research centers enlivened the day with demonstrations, storytelling, drama, documentary exhibits and free workshops, in which the public learned how mathematics, physics or chemistry affect our daily lives.
The expansion of the universe, the mysteries of DNA, the magnetism, the physics of balance or the science of music were some of the pillars of the sixty experiments were performed.
The day began early in the morning and was attended by President of the Consortium and Minister of Education, Francisco Alvarez de la Chica, and leading authorities in the consortium, which launched the new module Record and send your video, A new interactive experience that allows visitors to leave their opinion about the museum and its facilities and that can be seen through the television channel that the park has on its website.
Another novelty of this birthday was the activity CloserThat seeks to promote careers in science among young people. Researchers in various areas related their experiences to convey to students what their work is fascinating.
The workshop was also inaugurated Bath gel, "salty? within the program Chemistry in small doses. It explains the chemistry behind the soothing bath salts.

It's no joke that Artificial Intelligence is turning the technology industry (and others besides) on its ear. The latest advances in AI are regularly making headlines and either inspiring thoughtful dialogue or dramatic entertainment. This truly is the stuff of science fiction. But there are also a lot of misconceptions, requiring much-needed myth-busting around the topic. We recently spoke with AI aficionado (and author of Disruptive Marketing) Geoff Colon for some clarification on the subject.
Common AI Myths
For as long as humans have been designing machines, there has been concern over what would happen if those machines started to out-think their makers. Common myths around the discipline of artificial intelligence include a focus on making machines that replicate the human brain, that won't be bound by human ethics or physical limitations, and that will inevitably spin out of control. These misconceptions stem from a tendency to sensationalize the technology and most often a misunderstanding of the types and purposes of AI technology. In fact, the most used forms of AI today are used primarily (70%) to check the weather.
Geoff Colon explains that there are really three different types of artificial intelligence and that breaking them down will help us all understand the discipline beyond the portrayal we see in the movies.
The Three Types of Artificial Intelligence
Type 1: Strong AI
Described by philosopher and academic John Searle of U.C. Berkley in the early 80s, Strong AI is the type that is popular in movies and science fiction. It is the ability to build a machine that has a mind in the same sense that human beings have minds and that the correct simulation is a real mind as opposed to just a simulation. Geoff says that the big problem with this is that we still don't fully understand the inner workings of the human brain. If something like this were to be built today, he says that computer scientists would imagine such an artificial mind to be much simpler and closer to the level of an ant.
Type 2: Applied AI
Applied AI is the type of AI that is most commonly used today. It is the type of artificial intelligence found in virtual personal assistants (such as Cortana) that works by taking in information from prompts and former requests. Geoff describes it as very much an "if-this-then-that" type of thinking. We see a lot of applied AI in medical or financial software, which can take a lot of bit data and make it applicable to the user.
"This scares a lot of people because they think it might replace their field of work, but if it's used in the right capacity I think it can actually do more to enhance those fields and make us all more effective."
-Geoff Colon, Microsoft
Type 3: Cognitive Simulation
Cognitive Simulation is what we see a lot in facial recognition technology, or the ability for machine systems to understand based on imagery. This brand of AI is mainly symbolic and builds on cognitive science, operations research and management science to simulate the techniques that people use to solve problems. Geoff identifies the key issue of this type of artificial intelligence as the ability to make those machines understand context. This can mean the difference between understanding a symbol or face within a specific situation and miss-categorizing it completely.
AI in Action
Geoff has seen the impact of artificial intelligence most strongly in the knowledge economy industries. He says "This is where AI is most powerful because where it might take a team of 300 lawyers to dissect information, AI can do that in a matter of minutes or hours depending on the type of information you're working with." He sees AI making a profound difference in the legal profession, finance, and in the medical field, as well as his own field of marketing.
In product development, AI can take and composite customer feedback at a rapid pace to create better products and make sure that developers are building the products that customers want.
"The product development process is becoming a more collaborative experience between businesses and their customers with the help of AI. It can greatly speed development to market and enhance our capabilities on what we decide to build and not build here at Microsoft."
-Geoff Colon, Microsoft
He recommends that partners pay attention to how AI changes the ways in which customers interact with information. "Because I think what might happen is that the questions we ask of our customers will be answered much more rapidly and pooled together more rapidly with the help of AI." He believes that voice search is a particularly exciting area to explore as it is projected to increase from 5% of the market share to 50% by 2020. A lot of that is based on how we speak to our devices to search for information. Knowing how will your business will show up in voice search will be a key element to succeeding in an AI and mobile-saturated future.

Invicta 4 is expected to take place in January 2013 with at least a couple of new titles being introduced, and one of the championship fights is now confirmed.
Carla Esparza, winner of three fights in a row including her last two in Invicta, will face Japanese fighter and Jewels champion Ayaka Hamasaki in January.
The promotion will crown its first ever strawweight (115lbs) champion at Invicta 4, and Esparza was more than excited to get the call saying she would be fighting for the belt.
"This is something I've been waiting for, I feel like I've been improving, and I feel like I've been waiting for this pretty much since I started my fight career. My feeling was I can't wait. I can't wait to show the world, and I can't wait to have that belt around my waist," Esparza told MMAWeekly Radio on Wednesday.
Fighting for the inaugural Invicta strawweight title is an honor, but just as much as she appreciates the shot, Esparza is especially excited to face a fighter with the talent of Ayaka Hamasaki.
Hamasaki has gone 8-0 as a pro with 4 wins by submission and one by TKO en route to capturing the Jewels title prior to her win over Lacey Schuckman in her Invicta debut.
Esparza is ready not only to become the first ever 115lb Invicta champion, but she knows it will be no easy test to get through a fighter like Hamasaki.
"She's beaten some of the top girls in the world and she's great, and if I do go in the underdog, more power to me, more to prove. If that is the case, I plan on proving people wrong," said Esparza.
"It means so much more that you have the belt and you had to go through so much to earn it."
Invicta FC 4 is expected to take place in January 2013, although no date has been announced yet by the promotion. They are expected to have at least one more title fight on the upcoming card to kick off the New Year.

Accepting a job below one's skill level can be severely penalizing when applying for future employment because of the perception that someone who does this is less committed or less competent, according to new research from a sociologist at The University of Texas at Austin.
A new study reveals that while homicide victimization rates declined for whites, blacks, and Hispanics in the United States from 1990-2010, the drop was much more precipitous for the two minority groups.
Skin color is a significant factor in the probability of employment for male immigrants to the United States, according to a new study by two University of Kansas (KU) researchers.
Social scientists have long argued documentary films are powerful tools for social change.
But a University of Iowa (UI) sociologist and his co-researchers are the first to use the Internet and social media to systematically show how a documentary film reshaped public perception and ultimately led to municipal bans on hydraulic fracking.
Despite having only about 5 percent of the world's population, the United States was the attack site for a disproportionate 31 percent of public mass shooters globally from 1966-2012, according to new research that will be presented at the 110th Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association (ASA).
New research released today shows that workers at a Fortune 500 company who participated in a pilot work flexibility program voiced higher levels of job satisfaction and reduced levels of burnout and psychological stress than employees within the same company who did not participate.
This is the first time a randomized controlled trial has been used to measure the effects of workplace flexibility in a U.S. firm.
LGBT educators struggle to balance professionalism and pride in the classroom, splittling, knitting, or quittting, in the words of the authors.
Labor unions have been on the decline for sixty years in the U.S., though they raise wages, decrease inequality, and give voice to workers. Can they rise again?
Millions of workers are employed in positions that deviate from the full-time, standard employment relationship or work in jobs that are mismatched with their skills, education, or experience. Yet, little is known about how employers evaluate workers who have experienced these employment arrangements, limiting our knowledge about how part-time work, temporary agency employment, and skills underutilization affect workers' labor market opportunities.
Since the 1980s, leading U.S. firms have announced massive downsizing plans in the name of maximizing shareholder value, but some observers are skeptical about how serious firms are in implementing these plans. Building on political theories of corporate governance, I examine how conflicts of interest and alignment among investors, workers, and top managers affect the implementation of announced downsizing plans.

INTERVIEW: SS8 VP Vineet Sachdev on RCS & Impact on Lawful Interception & Analysis
I sat down with Vineet Sachdev, SS8's VP of Solutions, to discuss his upcoming webinar RCS: Enabling New Services & Lawful Interception Implications. Vineet has a rich background and experience in understanding the impact of new technologies and applications (such as LTE, VoLTE and RCS) on lawful interception & analysis. He has been a leader in understanding how RCS and OTT apps benefit and challenge both service providers and consumers, and will be e-presenting next Thursday, October 24th at 7am PDT. Register here.
If the acronyms RCS and OTT sound unfamiliar to you, I'll explain. RCS stands for Rich Communications Services. And at its most basic level, it's a bit of a game plan for service providers to compete with OTT applications. OTT apps aren't necessarily the bad guys here, but what they've done is expanded the opportunity for mobile users to communicate "over the top" of their standard contracts.
Vineet dives deeper into this topic below, and gives us a brief preview of RCS: Enabling New Services & Lawful Interception Implications.
BA: What is RCS, and why is it so important?
VS: RCS is a standards-based global initiative to deploy rich services in a rapid and cost-effective manner. When we use text messaging, we pay service providers and provide them a revenue stream. OTT apps cut off this revenue stream, meaning service providers have to come up with a plan to counter this threat. RCS will do just that.
BA: What is the most significant change service providers can expect from RCS?
VS: There are several benefits. One, RCS allows service providers to stay relevant in the marketplace by offering enhanced and rich services. Secondly, RCS will be rolled out on an IMS instead of a SS7 based infrastructure. This dramatically reduces CAPEX and OPEX to deploy even simple SMS-like application. And finally, RCS will lead to better subscriber/customer retention.
BA: Where does law enforcement and government fit into all this?
VS: Most countries have government regulations in place that allow appropriate government agencies to lawfully monitor the communication application for suspicious activities. As RCS infrastructure allows new services to be offered to the end users, Law enforcement will have to be prepared to reconstruct and analyze this activity, or they can't keep up.
BA: What are some of the challenges you'll address in your upcoming webinar?
VS: I'll address the challenges of OTT, as well as some of the challenges LEA and service providers will face to meet the requirements of lawful interception on RCS services.
BA: Who should attend and why?
VS: Service providers will benefit from learning more about RCS, as well as OTT apps. LEA and government officials, as well.

Pacers Rally Falls Short vs. Knicks
Al Jefferson and the Indiana Pacers nearly overcame a double-digit fourth quarter deficit against the New York Knicks on Monday night, but they were unable to execute down the stretch, falling 109-103 at home.
Big Al scored in double figures for the third straight game, putting in 13 on 5-of-8 shooting and three rebounds in 19 minutes.
The opening tip saw the Knicks take the initial lead, but an 8-0 Indiana run forced New York coach Jeff Hornacek to burn an early timeout. While the starters built a double-digit lead, both Paul George and Myles Turner were forced to sit with foul trouble and give way to the bench.
Big Al checked in for Turner with 6:45 to play in the first and got his first basket a minute later after Thaddeus Young hustled to save a ball going out bounds right to Al under the hoop for a layup.
With 2:21 left in the first, Al found himself a defensive mismatch with Knicks star Carmelo Anthony switched on to him. Realizing the opportunity to capitalize on his height advantage, the rest of the Pacers cleared out and worked on Anthony to flip in a short jumper.
The Pacers were helped by seven New York turnovers in the first, but the bench ultimately held strong, and Indiana led 34-22 after one.
The Knicks climbed back in the game by opening the second on a 7-1 run, but it was just the start of the damage inflicted in the quarter.
What was once a comfortable lead was erased as the Knicks used an 11-3 spurt to tie the game with 4:12 until the half. Al helped keep New York from running away, fighting for an offensive rebound and getting the tip-in, and hitting a two from above the free line after the tie. In all, the Knicks outscored Indiana 40-24 to take a 62-58 lead into the break.
The Knicks held a double-digit advantage for much of the third, despite missing six straight shots at one point. Despite shooting just 7-of-21 as a team in the third, a late 8-0 run cut the lead to 11 heading into the fourth.
New York lead by as many as 16 with 7:48 to play, but a 9-0 rally started by a Big Al jumper cut the deficit to seven with 5:52 to play. Indiana continued to chip away, and the lead was down to just five after a George fadeaway jumper with 3:38 to go.
On the other end of that play, George and Turner forced Anthony into a turnover and Turner converted a bank shot to bring the crowd to its feet and get to within three with 3:01 to play. Overall, it was a 17-2 run over six-plus minutes of game clock that cut the lead to one with 2:00 to play.
Anthony beat the shot clock buzzer to push the lead back to three, but Monta Ellis drew contact on the other end and sank both free throws on an injured ankle to get the Pacers back to within one.
After George tied the game at 103 with 40 seconds left, Anthony hit a baseline jumper to retake the lead. With a chance to tie again with 16 seconds left, though, Turner fumbled a pass out of bounds, allowing the Knicks to seal the game with free throws.
"We have the energy, but it just wasn't enough," said Turner of the team's comeback. "The second quarter really hurt us. We just need to lock in and get the job done."
Similar themes carried over from the Pacers previous loss to the Utah Jazz. Indiana was again outscored on free throws, this time 31-20 and were only able to turn 15 Knicks turnovers into 16 points.
"We gotta be ready," said George. "With the starting group, we gotta get off to a great start, and that second unit has to sustain it. We can't have no drops at any point in the game."
The Pacers go out on the road for one game to face the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday. Tip off is at 8 p.m EST.

Rainbird funding soars past £1 million
The automation of knowledge work is one of the fastest growing IT developments in the world, providing business with bespoke learning and problem-solving systems for their workforce.
At the heart of this new phenomenon is Norwich-based startup, Rainbird, created two years ago by digital entrepreneurs James Duez and Ben Taylor. The team is already working with financial services firms to help create a new bank and a leading university to bring international consistency to the treatment of Ebola.
Now Rainbird has become the first business to receive funding from New Anglia LEP's equity investment fund. They will receive £28,000 from New Anglia Capital as part of Rainbird's seed investment rounds which have raised in excess of £1 million.
New Anglia Capital is a co-investment fund with New Anglia LEP and Anglia Capital Group, who are based at Norwich Research Park. They bring angel investors together to kick-start new products and innovative ideas as well as supporting existing high growth companies. Separately, Anglia Capital Group and Angel financiers from across the Eastern region have invested around £100,000 in the company.
James Duez, co-founder of Rainbird, is an Angel investor himself. He says they had plenty of interest from financiers, but it was important to them to try and secure investment from local sources first.
"We are 90 per cent funded by Angel investors and the majority of those are in the UK and predominantly East Anglia. Having local people investing in us provides tighter support and boosts the region's economy," he said.
The recent funding round will mean the team, who are based at the digital innovation cluster, White Space, can expand from their current 12 staff to over 20.
Earlier this year Rainbird successfully participated in the internationally renowned Techstars accelerator programme which helps cram two years of growth into an intense 13-week bootcamp.
Duez says that the automation of knowledge work through Artificial Intelligence is one of the most globally significant technologies of our time, expected to have an economic impact of between $5-7 trillion per annum by 2025.
"We help companies take the knowledge they have locked away in a few individuals and encode it in a cloud-based software platform that 'learns' enabling them to raise standards and improve efficiency. Examples include contact centre knowledge tools, risk and compliance management solutions and virtual advisors that can determine what products would delight any specific customer.
"We are even working at the heart of a new type of bank that puts the customer first. This technology can solve problems that the world has not managed to crack yet."
Chris Dashper, head of programmes, at New Anglia LEP said: "Rainbird exemplifies what we are trying to achieve with our £1m equity investment pot – an innovative tech company with exciting ambitions in the fast-growing world of artificial intelligence.
"They have already attracted plenty of interest from Angel investment and we are delighted that we can play a small part in their future growth plans."

Finally got stuff out in the postage stamp, some peppers and tomatoes and basil I started inside. Direct seeding beans, they are starting to sprout. Have more inside under the lights, after a bit, they should be ready to come out. The container plants are loving it outside. Chocolate Mint rebounded, and the tomatoes and peppers are loving it! Got some awesome roses blooming on the roses we planted a couple yrs ago, too!

Hey, tell us a bit about yourself.
Sleeping Lion is a Boston-based duo made up of Nate Flaks (me) & Noah Longworth McGuire. We met our freshmen year of college when we lived a few doors down from each other. My roommates would go to sleep really early, so I used to go down the hall to hang out with Noah & his roommates. Originally we wound up in a folk band together before very quickly deciding to do electronic music & we wrote our first EP remotely via Skype while I was living in New York & Noah was living in Rome, Italy.
Where did the new single come from?
The new single comes from a really personal place for both of us. Noah had started making some early instrumental demos for it during the winter holidays & he would send them my way to see if it inspired anything. At the time I was in the middle of a breakup with my now-ex & co-writer (Abby) & we wound up writing this song together as a way of indirectly talking about our breakup. She even sang in unison with us on the track. I think that weigh & context inspired Noah to include & sample all kinds of found sounds from our own life to make the track more personal from a sonic standpoint.
From there we kept hearing things we felt would add to the cinematic vibe of the song like violin (performed by Seamus Guy) & cello (performed by Cristobal Cruz-Garcia). Also, while we were working on the track, our friend Jacob Reske (from Opia) was visiting Boston, so he sang some of the vocal layers at the end. It's a collaboration with a personal stake, but I think that's what resonated the most with us while we were working on it.
Is there more content in the pipeline?
We have some remixes & some tracks we've been featured on coming out next month, as well as a follow up single coming in the early summer.
What's on the horizon for you?
We're moving to LA in September, so we're really getting ready for that jump. We're looking forward to finally hanging out & collaborating with the friends we've made through this growing music community (& we're also happy to avoid another Boston winter). We recently visited Nashville as well, so we're hoping to go back there again in summer to do some co-writing. It's exciting because right now anything can happen & we're open to anything & everything, so we're going to keep working & see where it goes!

Why Email Validation is Gaining Popularity?
Marketers who overlook their mailing list and continuously send emails to the stale email addresses are putting their business at huge risk. When mails are triggered to authentic customers, the brand reputation and image is maintained. And, on the other hand, sending to a stale list will lead to a low sender's score, which adversely affects the deliverability. The sender's score determines the fate of the email whether it will land in the inbox of the customer or it will be filtered as spam. Email validation helps to improve the sender's scores, and because of its low cost, the method is gaining popularity among email marketers.
1. Removes stale addresses
Remove invalid addresses from a database comprising of hundreds of email addresses is a task in itself. And, it will not guarantee accuracy, but if email address validation is used, the task becomes simpler and easier. Removing invalid addresses using a software is much easier than removing manually. Additionally, verify email is essential because a plethora of hard bounces occurs because of typos in the email address. A hard bounce is considered fatal because deliver to that particular address fails forever and gives an indication to the ISP that you are a potential spammer. Therefore, implement and integrate email validation in all your marketing campaigns.
2.Attracts investors
A cleaned list is directly proportional to the number of interested customers in the database. And, if you have a large customer base, it will attract investors and the growth of your business will definitely accelerate. Email validation is a cost effective way to connect with potential customers and attract investors to the business. Additionally, a cleaned list gives an indication that you are serious about the business, which will surely help you create an impression in front of the investors. Therefore, by spending initially on list cleaning, you can connect with a large customer and investor base.
Email validation has revolutionized email marketing and has proved successful. Hire email validation specialist today and see the difference in both the spam and bounce rate.

By Israel Shamir
Here in Moscow I recently received a dark-blue folder dated 1975. It contains one of the most well-buried secrets of Middle Eastern and of US diplomacy. The secret file, written by the Soviet Ambassador in Cairo, Vladimir M. Vinogradov, apparently a draft for a memorandum addressed to the Soviet politbureau, describes the 1973 October War as a collusive enterprise between US, Egyptian and Israeli leaders, orchestrated by Henry Kissinger.

When it comes to gambling websites, we cannot ignore 10bet.uk. Offering its customers a variety of attractive opportunities and profitable wager strategies, this British online platform successfully competes with other bookies. 10bet was founded in 2003. Since then, it has always provided its clients with excellent betting services for all types of sports. It didn't take the company very long to enter the list the world's most popular and successful bookmaking companies. In this 10bet review, we will take a closer look at this platform, with all its characteristics, advantages, and opportunities.
Website Usability
Most customers find the website's design pleasing to the eye and user-friendly, thought it seem to be a little too dark. Once you've signed up and entered your 10bet login and password, you will easily find all the necessary buttons to bet on different sports. The system will also offer you a variety of click-through sections for live betting, online games, casino, and so on. For those who like to place stakes on the go, at any time and in any places, there is a handy 10bet mobile version. Flashy promotions and ads will never let you miss an important sporting event or forget about the match you wanted to bet on. It's hard to say that it is the fastest website, but it is user-friendly, which is frequently much more important.
Sports and betting markets
The next step of our 10bet review is devoted to the sports one can place stakes on via this service. The platform offers its customers a wide range of betting opportunities: here, you can select football, tennis, basketball, horse racing, ice hockey, motor sports, pool, speedway, and so on. The users of 10bet can choose both common and specific sports, including, for instance American ones. Besides, the company deals with winter sports, which are normally represented only by Austrian and German bookies. As for the types of stakes, the system supports dozens of different variants, such as 1*2 FT, Draw/No Draw, Goal Crazy, 3W Handicap, 1st Goal Period, Halftime /Fulltime, and many others.
Live betting
It's one of the most interesting offers, which we cannot ignore in our 10bet review. Live betting with this platform opens up the new opportunities of the basic sports wager system. Depending on the date and time of the match, live betting on this platform can change dramatically, but one thing remains the same – there is always a wide range of sports on offer. Here, you can place a live stake on football, basketball, handball, and other team sports. The website provides high quality live streaming, so that you could always keep track of the chosen match in real-time mode. However, some users of 10bet live chat grumble that in the process of live streaming they don't have the feeling of real arena or stadium. This may be due to quite a half-hearted graphics, which is the case during certain tournaments. On the plus side, all the relevant data concerning the match and the odds changes is displayed in the same place, this is why you won't have to seek the necessary piece of information in different parts of the monitor.
Promotions and bonus offers
Actually, it's one of the greatest advantages of this company. 10bet sign up offer comes into play as soon as you create a new account on this website and make your first deposit. The bookmaker will give you back as much as 50% of your stake up to £200. In order to embrace the 10bet sign up offer enter the code "FD200" when placing the stake and confirm that you want to get the bonus. Thus, if you make a deposit of £400, the company will offer you a very impressive startup capital of £600. As for other generous offers from the bookie, they are as follows: 60% cash bonus for accumulator stakes, 10bet free bet as a refund for losing wagers, and cash-outs or partial cash-outs on stakes.
Mobile betting
It can boast a simple and user-friendly design with minimum of extra details and unnecessary features. As distinguished from a number of other platforms' apps, it does not possess a bottom menu. Alternatively, there is a side bar with all the necessary buttons, which you can easily access with a couple of taps. The application is compatible with Apple and Android. Having registered in this system via the mobile app, you can also use the opportunities of 10bet sign up offer, which works just the same way as on the website.
Customer support
The specialists of 10bet.uk are ready to answer the clients' questions and requests 24/7. The quickest way to get all the necessary information about the platform's services is to use its live chat, where your questions will be answered almost instantly. In order to contact the client support specialists, you can also send your e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com. It this case, your request will be answered within 24 hours. One more opportunity to get in touch with the website specialists is to call 359-24925973. The phone code hints at a Bulgarian call centre, which should not be expensive.
Payment options
10bet accepts most of credit and debit cards, including world-renowned Visa and MasterCard. In order to use them for financing your stakes, you need to verify your account on the website by means of sending the copies of your personal papers. The minimum size of deposit is £5. Along with bank cards, the clients of the platform can use a number of online payment services, such as Skrill, PayPal, Ucash, Neteller, etc. For some of these services, the minimum deposit size at 10bet.uk is £10. Bank transfers are performed during two working days, while transfers with other services are generally processed a bit faster. Money withdrawal is conducted the same way as financing your stakes. For instance, if you've paid for your bet with Skrill, you should process your withdrawal with Skrill as well, and so on. As a rule, it takes the system to withdraw the client's funds from 3 to 5 days by bank card or PayPal and up to 2 days by other payment systems. You can also apply to direct bank transfers, but they are normally processed up to 7 days. The platform deducts 5% of the user's winnings from each withdrawal.
Summary of the 10bet review
All in all, we strongly believe that this bookmaker deserves a top rating. The company offers its clients a wide range of betting opportunities, including live wagers and casino. The website provides all possible sports and types of wagers, so that every bettor could choose the most suitable variant for his personal preferences. There is a mobile version of 10bet, featuring all necessary buttons and sections and impressing customers with user-friendly interface. The potential of this company is apparently huge and it's no wonder that more and more bettors apply to it for their successful sports betting.

I've been using the "Lose it!" app for 6 days and as of this morning, I am back to myfitnesspal*. The Lose It (LI) app is SO CUTE! I LOVE the interface and it seems a little easier to add foods because there aren't so many choices like in myfitnesspal (MFP) (For example, when you type 'chicken thighs' into MFP, you get about 456,402 options with calories ranging from 7 to 7294 :::a SMALL exaggeration:::). BUT….
- I got VERY sick of the 'This is a premium feature so you should give us money if you want to do that!' messages. For things even like adding food to the following day– which they call "Meal Planning," which is a "premium feature."
- Lose it! claimed to sync with Google fitness (or whatever its called–should just be 'big brother is watching everything you do'), but it didn't.
- Because I've used MFP for so many years, it knows me. Which is an unfair advantage, but still an advantage because all my favorite foods and exercises are already there.
- I miss my friends!! I do well with knowing others can see what I am doing and also just seeing that people I know are using the app too keeps me motivated. Basically, everyone has tried myfitnesspal at some point, so even when their accounts are currently not in use, it still shows a buncha peeps on my list that could be watching. And I like that.
myfitnesspal wins because you get way more for way less aka FREE!
*Note: myfitnesspal is lowercase intentionally (see photo 😉 )

Lipoma On Vulva
Bartholin's duct cyst, lipoma, Lipoma Lipomas are composed of mature adipose tissue with a thin fibrous capsule (Fig. 26A and B). They are generally asymptomatic, however may be of cosmetic concern. Rarely liposarcomas and atypical lipomas have been described. In Nucci's series (43), most resolved with excision, although one incompletely resected lesion recurred. These lesions were less circumscribed and showed varying degrees of atypia. One case was described as presenting as a Bartholin abscess (44). Recently, characteristic cytogenetic aberrations have been described as important in predicting the behaviors of lipomatous tumors (45) hence fresh tissue should be provided for cytogenetic analysis in lesions that are large and or deep seated (Table 26).

How to Interpret the Data Sets
Primary 2D MPR review for lesion detection can provide a time efficient evaluation of the colon, exploiting an extra-colonic field of view for improved orientation. This visualization is based on a real time sectoring through the colonic sub-segments in cine mode, in a continuous direction typically from the rectum to the cecum. Two window levels settings are typically utilized. The polyp window (width 1500, level -200) imparts the high contrast interface to detect intraluminal colorectal polypoid lesions. The soft tissue window setting (width 400, level 10) is critical to evaluate more advanced wall lesions, discern the high density of false positives or the fat density of lipomas, and to evaluate the extra-colonic findings. In some areas of retained dense fluid, a narrower window setting may be needed to better see within the fluid level. When a lesion is detected in the polyp window of 2D MPR, the following steps can be taken to most efficiently characterize a lesion. First, the...
Dilated Renal Pelvis
In contrast to fluid-filled cysts, solid renal tumors exhibit internal echoes and have only weak or no distal acoustic enhancement. Benign renal tumors (fibromas, adenomas, hemangiomas) are altogether rare with no uniform sonomorphology. Only the angiomyolipoma, a benign mixed tumor comprising vessels, muscular tissue, and fat, has in its early stage a characteristic sonographic presentation that separates it from a malignant process. A small angiomyolipoma (72) is as echogenic as the central echo complex and clearly demarcated (Fig. 43.1). With increasing size, angiomyo-lipomas become heterogeneous, rendering their differentiation from malignant tumors more difficult.
Cysts, nodules, and tumors of a variety of types may be present on the vulva and patients will typically report the presence of a lump down there'' when presenting for evaluation. Sebaceous and epidermal inclusion cysts are frequently seen on the skin of the labia majora and minora, and in the vestibule. Bartholin's duct and vestibular cysts are also quite common. A urethral diverticulum or Skene's duct cyst may also present as a vulvar mass. Lipomas and fibromas may develop in the labia

Jaguar XJ12 SI
Jaguar was forced originally to use four Stromberg CD175SE carburettors as fuel injection from Lucas only finally appeared in 1975; based on Bosch L Jetronic system. Strombergs were chosen over an all SU set up due to stringent emissions laws at home and abroad, especially USA and in particular California.
In fact, the XJ12 was the first automobile necessitating Air Emissions Control in UK. When you analyse this engine in detail, you realize that moving and warming over 20 litres of coolant is no mean feat. It needs to warm up fairly quick for decent fuel atomization, made harder by carburettors.
My engine was no different, still equipped in EGR (Exhaust Recirculation System), air pump and all the plumbing, used to inject pressurized air in exhaust ports, in order to impoverish unburned gas. All this system was ditched as it really penalized performance without any real effect in reducing emissions.
I initially bought a Burlen Fuel System kit comprising of four SU HIF44 and all its ancillaries, renowned as the ultimate SU carburettors, with its integrated fuel bowl, jet exterior adjustment, easy servicing and superior performance.
I modified further these carburettors with richer needles (0.100" floating type) and lighter springs (yellow 4oz) for faster response.
Unfortunately, my engine is fitted now with radical camshafts which penalize carburettors performance, with its weal vacuum signal and intricate inlet manifold design, coupled with poor fuel atomization when cold; it really is a struggle to start the engine from cold. Once warm, it is wonderful, incredibly quick through the rpm range.
I was forced to remove this wonderful set up and fit it in my XJ12 SII where it does a sterling service.
Having rebuilt the twin SU double body (AZX1405) pumps in the back, its points operation and propensity to leak did not convince me, even after I fitted an electronic contact breakers kit from Burlen. For much less expense, I fitted twin Facet Red Top pump, much superior in flow pressure and fuel debit. Their pressure is phenomenal as my Filter King fuel regulator was having trouble to keep pressures bellow 3 psi!
All flexible pipe work is braided in stainless steel finished off by flashy hose clamps by Spectre (USA), should last another thirty odd year I would think. Solid pipe work in the engine bay was chromed plated and all the rest zinc plated.
Fuel tanks were sandblasted, lead loading repaired around the inlet neck, powder coated and rust proofed inside with POR-15 products. Drain plugs were replicated in 316 grade stainless at great expense. All thermal sensitive areas were covered in high temperature aluminized mat, as used by rally cars to prevent fuel vapour lock and excessive temperatures. You can see in the photos the exhaust manifolds being wrapped, starter motor receiving a specially made thermal blanket, heat proof original panels such as bulkhead and rear silencers spaces were recovered in this extremely effective material.
It sports an interior gauge for fuel pressure out of AC Cobra, for which I took great care to buy a pressure sensing line for high pressures, thickly braided in stainless steel, with I then added thick clear rubber hose all along its length to stop rubbing/damaging itself along its course form the front of the engine to the centre console. It certainly looks the business.
I've also acquired a AFR (Air Fuel Ratio) gauge along with a Lambda sensor from a BMW K1200RS so I can monitor at any time the fuel mix, although it will only confirm this engine runs best at 11-12:1 ratio, quite rich for the ideal stoichiometric point of 14.7:1. It may be used later along with a second Lambda sensor for the other bank of cylinder to monitor and inform the ECU of data needed.
As the original inlet manifold is quite long and has an awkward design where the carburettors bolt to(separate manifold with a coolant jacket for quicker warm up times) for best low range torque, it is not the ideal solution for a high performance engine with a peaky cam.
So I did purchase an old EFI manifold from early eighties which I'm cutting and ditching the original 2 throttle bodies and I will modify it to accept 12 independent BMW K1200RS 39mm throttle bodies, along with a MegaSquirt ECU and an alloy handmade air filter boxes. High pressure fuel pump will be employed, most likely a Bosch 210 item or a Sytec. Will still use Facet pump to extract fuel from tanks and keep the recirculation solenoids but a big swirl pot will need to be added. All flexible pipes will need to be replaced by high pressure ones along with a myriad of other modifications.
Due to other commitments, the Jaguar has been left in the back burner but as soon I have a bit of time available, I shall follow my goal, even if I need to get milder cams!

In a few short years, touchscreens have revolutionised the way we interact with technology. But to make the best use of our senses, the next generation of displays will not be flat, but have three-dimensional, reconfigurable surfaces.
At least, that's the belief of Lancaster University's Jason Alexander, whose lab is prototyping 3D displays to study how we interact with them. Over at The Conversation, Alexander discusses how 3D displays could change our relationship with technology:
Displays with pixels that can physically protrude from the surface will allow developers to enhance familiar applications such as architecture, design, terrain modelling and photography by rendering computer-generated 3D scenes in three dimensions in the real world. This will opens all sorts of opportunities for novel applications in team collaboration, tangible entertainment and ways to make computing more accessible to those with disabilities.
Devices will be able to change their form and function: a mobile phone that mutates into a TV remote control, and then into a video game controller, re-configuring itself to provide appropriate interfaces. Apps will not only be able to modify a visual display, but also dynamically change the physical properties of the device.
The video below shows a display Alexander's lab has designed specifically for visualising data. The interactive bar chart allows users to perform basic data visualisation tasks, such as displaying and filtering data, organising it into rows and columns, navigating between large datasets and making annotations. All things that, admittedly, you can do quite easily in Excel, but direct tactile manipulation of data might cause our brains to study it differently, spotting trends and patterns that we wouldn't have noticed on a 2D screen.
Sure, it looks a little like a Lite Brite at this point, but tangible interfaces are still in their infancy. If you'd like to try your hand at transforming a flat display to a 3D one, Alexander's even invented a prototyping tool to help you get started. [The Conversation]

For Sale: Used/New Crimson Red Baby Jogger City Mini GT Double Stroller For Sale
Item Description
Purchased the Baby Jogger City Mini GT Double Stroller September 2013. Only used about six times. Has not been used since beginning of October (just getting around to selling it now). Still have box and unfilled warranty card. Like new.
Below is the Amazon link if you want full description
Crimson Red Baby Jogger City Mini GT Double Stroller Amazon Link
Where we are
We are located in Pasadena, CA
Why We're Selling It
From a "stroller" point of view, this stroller handles really well and we actually love it!
You can easily drive it with one hand even though it is a double and going up and down sidewalks/curbs, it can handle little bumps and crevices with no problem. High quality "Forever Air" wheels.
Unfortunately, our 1 year old does not want to sit in it
He would cry every time. Our 3 year old daughter loved it, but our 1 year old son (who doesn't like sitting in strollers or car seats much anyway) just didn't want to even try sitting in it. If you're curious, our theory because the seat is deep to provide excellent coverage from the sun, that means he can't see us while he sits.
Also if you're curious, we eventually tried out our friends' double and bought that one which was the Red Combi Twin Cosmo Stroller (Amazon link here if you're curious about the Combi Twin). It actually does not handle nearly as easily, feels slightly unsturdy, doesn't go up the curbs well, BUT our son likes this one. There is a front bar he can grab onto and pull himself up and he can look around and look back at us. More often than not, he just grabs the front bar and rocks out (which honestly is pretty cute!)
List Price: Retail $550 to $580 ($600-ish with tax)
Sale Price: We are looking to sell it for $400

I got to the the matinee yesterday - it was a good show. (I don't have much else to say, apart from that. I enjoyed it.)
I was pretty far back, so it really could have been anyone with a koosh ball on their head. So I'm glad to see the videos.
(My first time in that theater. Gorgeous restoration!)
I did. A hottie, indeed
I love how both songs are reworked!
I'm tickled by the straws in her drinks on stage matching the album artwork.
The show was supposed to start at 3, but started after 3:30. I texted a friend that we were leaving at 5:37, which was after a trip to the bathroom and the merch table. So make of that what you will.
(And then it took us 3.14 years to get to the nearest subway.)
Last night:
01 Stonemilker
02 Lionsong
03 History of Touches
04 Black Lake
05 Family
06 Notget
07 Pleasure Is All Mine
08 Come to Me
09 All Neon Like
10 I See Who You Are
11 Quicksand
12 Mouth Mantra
13 Sun in My Mouth !!!
14 Wanderlust
"Sun in My Mouth" was only done once before, for an Icelandic TV show Átta raddir. This is its live concert debut.
The whole bootleg should be up at NYCTaper soon.
Last night was my second and last show of the NYC bunch. She's definitely more comfortable with the new songs; Lionsong was a true highlight with some great notes at the very end. I was a little sad we didn't get All is Full of Love, though.
Her sassy pose when someone shouted "get it, girl!" was hysterical. I lucked out and got front row seats and it was incredible to be so close and watch her smile throughout the second half of the show. And Arca was just as cute this time...
I was at last night's show and I thought she was spectacular. She is a magnificent performer, and she really inhabited the new songs.
I do wish we got a somewhat different selection of older tracks. Other than "Pleasure is All Mine," none of them would rank as favorite Bjork songs of mine. I do have a newfound appreciation of "Wanderlust," though. I've always liked the song, but it was definitely a "wow" moment.
Oops, double post.

i'm sad to see she's replaced Undo with All Neon Like.
Not too fond of All Neon Like. Love the song, but this arrangement is a mess.

Visit the East End of Long Island now and into autumn for a lingering taste of summer! Though the past few days have been rather dismal downstate, the beaches of Long Island have more to offer after Labor Day than you might think.
Right about now, farmers are harvesting tartly sweet beach plums to render into batches of jams, jellies and sauces and to bake into treats. Go enjoy them and you'll be helping to carry a splendid natural and culinary heritage forward.
I'm thrilled that as I LOVE NEW YORK's 2011 "Greenest New Yorker" I might become one of the purplest too. My $500 award from Escapemaker.com will be directed to the Greenhouse Project to grow beach plum seedlings that can be donated to schools, community gardens and other public spaces. This new effort parallels my championing of the Newtown Pippin apple.
Beach plums are indigenous to the east coast of North America. They play an important role in stabilizing dunes and feeding wildlife. Explorers Giovanni da Verrazzano and Henry Hudson wrote of the beach plums lining what's now known as New York Harbor. It's hard to miss these bushes, which are resplendent in white blossoms in late May and thick with green leaves and cherry-sized fruits in late August.
Today in New York State you'll find wild beach plums on Long Island, Fishers Island and Shelter Island. Habitat restorations surrounding Jamaica Bay incorporate beach plums and several New York City waterfront parks feature small plantings. I first learned of beach plums from David Lutz of Friends of Gateway, a volunteer group that grows beach plums and other native plants. They do well at the New York State Tree Nursery in Saratoga Springs, which lies between the territories of beach plums and another of New York State's edible wild fruits, the Great Lakes sandcherry.
Cornell University researchers helped spark a beach plum revival by helping farmers to master new growing techniques and markets. I recently brought a group of 20 kids from Hour Children to visit Briermere Farms, a 300-acre rolling expanse of orchards and cropland in Riverhead, NY. Owner Clark McComb introduced the kids to beach plums and to healthy treats like peach slushies made from fruits he grew himself. Landscape designer Gil Lopez, who greatly helped with our trip, was inspired to include beach plums in his palate for sustainable gardens.
To see a full gallery of our trip, click here.
Pits made from fruit we picked will be germinated by the Greenhouse Project. In addition to the expertise Cornell University and Friends of Gateway offer, staff at the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation's Greenbelt Native Plant Center have always been very helpful to my green efforts.
Stay tuned for more info about an upcoming Beach Plum Week in Long Island City. It is in the works for September, with local restaurants selling gelato, smoothies, tarts, martinis and other delectables. Proceeds will benefit the Hour Children food pantry.

Johnny Test Porn Story: It Had to Be a Cat – Chapter 2
2: Janets Request Answered
was finally the right time for Johnny and Dukey to implement their
plan. Dukey would dress up as a janitor for Johnnys school, while
Janet Nelson Jr., and Johnny were in class Dukey would slip the
little robotic fly inside Janets locker. Yet Dukey wasnt quite
sure if the plan was going to go forward.
are you sure this is the right thing to do? asked Dukey who was
just outside the school in a janitors uniform and disguise.
course Dukey, there is nothing thatll go wrong with this plan
replied Johnny, Id find what makes Janet tick, and use it to
get her to like me again.
have a very bad feeling, something will horribly go wrong sighed
the bell rang for class, Johnny immediately left the scene to which
it was now Dukeys turn to find Janet Nelson Jr.s locker. Dukey
searched for about ten minutes which he was just about to give up
when suddenly he turned a corner and found Janet quickly putting away
her books as she was late for the first time in her life.
cant believe it that I was late because of my aunt! cried Janet
as she was putting away her books in her locker, Im certainly
going to get detention for sure!
er, kid I can help you out said Dukey as he overheard Janets
concerns, Ill give you allow to bypass authority so that you
can head to your class, after all you are the most popular kid in
true replied Janet, but I still have a bunch of books I should
be put in my locker by now.
me take care of that for you said Dukey as Janet handed the books
over to him.
for your help, janitor with the hair condition replied Janet as
she then hurried off toward her class.
now, to put this robotic spy fly inside her locker too said Dukey
after he placed the books in the locker, but I need to find some
sort of way so that Janet would not notice it, but what, think Dukey,
Dukey had thought of a wonderful plan as he also noticed there were
photos of kids she use to think that were cool whom were labeled
uncool in her locker. A certain Johnny Test was of course scene on
the list with your average nerdish kids and disgusting bullies such
as Bumper.
know the perfect picture you can be placed on laughed Dukey as he
placed the robotic spy fly on the picture of Bumpers head.
doing that, Dukey then promptly closes the locker. At least two
hours past, and it was finally nutrition for the school. Dukey
immediately went to try to find Johnny who was in the cafeteria
having lunch. Johnny was located in the back of the cafeteria where
most of the unpopular kids were usually forced to get a seat there.
Johnny then immediately took out a small laptop computer which
Bling-Bling Boy had given to him, he then waved toward Dukey who
found his location.
Dukster, did you manage to place that robotic fly in Janets
locker? asked Johnny.
a problem at all replied Dukey, but you wont be happy what
else I found in her locker. Youre on her Uncool List.
then, lets change that replied Johnny as he was turning on the
spy program on the laptop, lets just listen on what makes Janet
scene then changes toward Janets locker which she was trying to
skip nutrition in effort to get her stuff for the next class.
cant believe my aunt has asked me to babysit one of her favorite
cats she always keeps as a pet sighed Janet, Im sure if
there would be someone out there who would babysit that cat for me,
it would be a big help.
at the cafeteria Johnny suddenly had an uneasy feeling on what Janet
really wanted and that was to babysit a cat for which he hated cats
in general.
Johnny, what did Janet have to say on the other line? asked Dukey
as Johnny couldnt believe Janets words over the headphones he
was wearing.
wants someone to babysit a cat! cried Johnny as he then threw the
headphones down, Thats the one thing I wont be able to do!
on Johnny, I know you hate cats, but this might be a chance for you
to get on Janets good side again replied Dukey, I know I
sure wont like it in helping you, but since youre my master I
have no other choice.
then lets go and fulfill Janets request said Johnny as he
changed his mood a bit.
was only a few more minutes of nutrition left to which case, Johnny
rushed from his seat at the cafeteria to go and find Johnny.
great, now just who has to take care of this spy stuff sighed
dashed through the hallways of the school and finally ran right into
Janet herself who was on her way to class. She was quite upset that
Johnny, who was on her Uncool List was going to get her into further
where youre going dork! barked Janet.
I know you have been having a bad day and all replied Johnny.
Im having a rotten day, thanks to you continued Janet.
I want to make it easier on you interrupted Johnny.
how the heck are you going to do that, I was late because my aunt was
introducing her so-called precious favorite cat who makes all of her
other cats jealous replied Janet, she wants me to babysit her
cat, I can take on babysitting a cat if it werent so spoiled!
let me do it replied Johnny as he then began to sweat on a subject
he didnt like which were cats, Ill be happy to babysit your
well, it would give me more time to be with my popular friends,
alright replied Janet, Ill also pay you a hefty sum of cash
if you do it and get you off my Uncool List.
and thats just what I wanted replied Johnny.
Janet left the scene, Johnny wasnt the only one who was spying on
Janet but also a certain Mister Mittens and his butler in their swamp
Johnny hates cats, but hes willing to babysit Janet Nelson Jr.s
cats, isnt it a good thing that I managed to get this hi-tech
spying technology? asked Mister Mittens.
sir, theyre wonderful resources replied the butler.
go and get a look on Janet Nelsons aunts favorite cat said
Mister Mittens as he then pressed the button on the computer console
which propped up a database of cats.
scene on the computer then immediately changes toward an image of a
cat that looked just like Mister Mittens to which Mittens suddenly
realized this cat was really his long-lost brother.
dont believe it! cried Mister Mittens as he noticed the white
chubby cat on the computer screen, This is my long-lost brother!
lost-brother? asked the butler in an astonished mood.
see, when I was a kitten, I was born in a litter with my brother here
being the only white cat making him pretty rare among my kind of
breed replied Mister Mittens.
you wish to switch places and cause trouble for the flaming-headed
boy? asked the butler.
excellent plan! laughed Mister Mittens.
Mittens then continues to make his evil laughter, which then is
echoed all the way to Porkbelly Middle School which only Dukey could
pick up.
now I certainly didnt hear that coming sighed Dukey.

Porting the original to iPad reminded them "how fun it was to make", but a second game would need to be an "appropriate continuation" of the first.
"A second World of Goo is a possibility, and something we would enjoy working on. Working together again on GooPad has reminded us how fun it was to make the original," posted the indie studio team. World of Goo was created by just two developers.
"A second World of Goo will need to feel like a perfect and appropriate continuation of the first game. No Red Bull Can levels or rapping Goo cutscenes, according to our official design doc." No product placements for 2D Boy - take your corporate elsewhere.
Have you played World of Goo? Does it beg a sequel? In the meantime the excellent original will arrive on iPad "as soon as we get approved by Apple."
World of Goo 2 "a possibility" says 2D Boy, must be "appropriate"

Today's Coffee of Choice: "Jamaican Me Crazy" freshly ground beans from Village Street Cafe
Today's Scripture: It was by faith that Moses left the land of Egypt, not fearing the king's anger. He kept right on going because he kept his eyes on the one who is invisible. – Hebrews 11:27
Have you ever had to leave something or someone you loved behind? Whether it was for a brief time or an indefinite period, the process of leaving is not easy.
Recently, cancer once again forced me to experience separation from individuals I cared about. In the recent months, I've lost two more friends to the disease. The shock I faced in 2010, when cancer worked its way through my family while also facing the sudden deaths of several friends, was revisited. (Click here to read my thoughts surrounding funeral four of six during that time.) One of the recent individuals I lost served as a mentor to me as a young Christian and is still one of the main examples of faith that propels me forward in leadership roles I carry in my current season. In tandem with the loss of my friends was tragic news of the deaths of two young children of a dear couple in ministry in North Carolina. Learning of it made me hit my knees so hard on their behalf I think the carpet prints are still there. Then, there is the beautiful friend who succumbed to the choices she made while living ALL the aspects of a model's lifestyle in Europe…. The devastation of it all can be so overwhelming sometimes.
Grief is tricky. Unless you have suffered a great loss, you cannot understand the mixed emotions or sudden tears that can often interrupt a day. Grief is also not limited to the loss of a loved one. It can happen with the loss of a pet, a marriage, or even a change in where you live. I can't help but think that the Israelite nation faced grief as they stepped away from everything they had ever known, despite the pain they endured as slaves while living in Egypt, and pushed forward toward the land they were promised.
So, how do we deal with grief? I once had a conversation with the author of The Mended Heart, Suzie Eller. She shared her thoughts on the grief that often occurs within abuse survivors, and a cancer survivor who was seated at a table with us shared her perspective as well. Until that point, I had never considered grief as a response to abuse or living through a terminal disease, but it made sense to me as we all talked. The conversation was one of those I will never forget where time stopped and sisters in Christ were encouraged by each other in a way only God can make happen. One of the main conclusions we all came to is that you just have to let grief work its course in your life, not fight the emotions, and surround yourself with safe people while doing so. We decided that:
Another way I've discovered to help process grief is to cling to the wisdom found in Scripture. This helps negate the lies and negativity often found in the world around us. In Hebrews 11:27, we see five keys to follow when facing any major challenge… including the unpredictability of grief:
It was by faith (#1- HAVE FAITH!) that Moses left the land of Egypt (#2- Choose to leave the "Egypts" in your life behind you.), not fearing the king's anger (#3- Don't fear.). He kept right on going (#4- Don't EVER give up.) because he kept his eyes on the one who is invisible (#5- Keep your eyes fixed on Jehovah Jireh, your provider.).
May God bless you if you're in the throes of grief during this season of your life. May you find His great peace in the midst. Please comment below if you would like me to be praying for you.

After her new contract with Warner Bros Records and releasing her last two singles, it seems a full-length project from Ciara is right around the corner.

"Its not a ghost story. Its a story with ghosts in it." These are the words of Crimson Peak's main character Edith Cushing as she tries to get publishers interested in her writing. These words very much reflect the movie Crimson Peak itself.
Set in 1901 America and England, Crimson Peak is about a beautiful young America woman who wants to break the social bonds of women of that time. In addition to being lovely and intelligent, she is tormented by the ability (or affliction) of seeing ghosts that other people do not.
She falls in love with a handsome young Barron from England, whose cold as ice sister is always at his side.
Crimson Peak is a beautifully scripted and acted horror/drama, where the characters are more important than the special effects. Mia Wasikowska is perfect as Edith Cushing. Edith is strong willed and smart, but soon finds that may not be enough against the physical horrors and challenges she must face.
Tom Hiddleston is Sir Thomas Sharpe. The movie keeps the audience guessing as to whether he will be the saving hero, or a violent evil devil.
Jessica Chastain is Thomas' sister Lucille. Beautiful and talented, she has parts of her past that she keeps buried from everyone but her brother. This is a completely different role than we have see Jessica Chastain in before; and she is fantastic in it.
Crimson Peak is very much a story that Edgar Allan Poe would have enjoyed. It has the same complex characters, plot and dramatic ending that Poe himself put into his works.
We give Crimson Peak Four Stars ****
