NYC Mayor Bloomberg Announces 8 Initiatives to Strengthen City's Media Industry
NEW YORK, July 7, 2009—Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg today announced eight initiatives to strengthen New York City's media sector. The initiatives – part of a broad plan to diversify New York City's economy – stem from MediaNYC 2020, a program the Bloomberg Administration launched earlier this year that brought together City officials and industry leaders from print, television, and Internet media to develop a strategy to maintain and enhance New York City's position as a global media capital. The initiatives are projected to create roughly 8,000 jobs and support the growth of the City's media sector over the next decade. Strengthening key industries and diversifying the economy is an important part of the City's Five Borough Economic Opportunity Plan to create jobs for New Yorkers today, implement a vision for long-term economic growth, and build affordable, attractive neighborhoods. Joining Mayor Bloomberg at the announcement, which took place at the IAC world headquarters in Manhattan, were Deputy Mayor for Economic Development Robert C. Lieber, New York City Economic Development Corporation President Seth W. Pinsky, Information Technology and Telecommunications Commissioner Paul J. Cosgrave, IAC Chief Financial Officer Tom McInerney, Columbia University President Lee C. Bollinger, Fordham University President Rev. Joseph M. McShane, Levin Institute President Garick Utley, Huffington Post CEO Eric Hippeau, DFJ Gotham Managing Partner Danny Schultz, blip.tv Co-founder Dina Kaplan, Partnership for New York City President and CEO Kathryn Wylde and Trinity Real Estate CEO Carl Weisbrod.
"New York City is the media capital of the world, but – with the industry undergoing profound changes – it's incumbent on us to take steps now to capitalize on growth opportunities and ensure we remain an industry leader," said Mayor Bloomberg. "Through our MediaNYC 2020 program, we've convened leaders from media companies and local universities throughout the City to discuss the future of the industry and what the public sector can be doing to support new job growth. As a result, we are moving forward with a series of initiatives that will encourage innovation within the sector, create new jobs and position the City for long-term growth."
New York City's media industry employs more than 300,000 people, nearly 10 percent of the City's private workforce, and accounts for $30 billion in annual revenue. The City has a large concentration of leading traditional media companies that are being challenged by changes to their business model and by a significant number of media start-ups. Small to medium-sized media companies, those with less than 500 employees, account for nearly one-half of all employment in the sector. While New York City-based companies account for roughly half of the nation's revenue in magazines, books, and broadcast television and a quarter of the US market share in newspapers and cable television, growth in traditional media is slowing. It is projected to grow at one percent annually through 2015. In comparison, the new media sub-sector is growing: global mobile entertainment revenues, internet gaming traffic, social networking, and user-generated content are expected to expand significantly in the near term with annual growth rates potentially more than 35 percent. The next generation of media and technology companies is now in development, but much of the research and development is taking place elsewhere in the U.S. and abroad.
The initiatives – the product of more than 200 discussions with media and technology industry CEOs and other executives as part of MediaNYC 2020 – will address these gaps in three ways: (1) increasing collaboration among media industry representatives, including new and traditional media channels, as well as New York City's universities, to foster innovation and entrepreneurship; (2) attracting and training top talent to maintain New York City's competitiveness in the global marketplace; and (3) recruiting leading foreign media companies and helping New York City-based companies expand abroad.
"Diversifying our economy is a critical part of our Five Borough Economic Opportunity Plan," said Deputy Mayor Lieber. "We are targeting sectors where New York City has competitive advantages, and the media industry represents one of our best opportunities. By promoting the development of new media here in New York City and ensuring our workforce has the capacity to support it, we're taking steps to see that New York City's media industry plays a leading role in the City's long-term economic growth."
"New York City remains a global center for media and technology, and we are constantly looking for ways to help our businesses and talent adapt to the changing needs of the industry," said NYCEDC President Pinsky. "By addressing the three major components that we have identified as barriers to growth, and by engaging the industry in a discussion of the challenges and opportunities it faces, we aim to create an environment where both new media entrepreneurs and traditional media companies can thrive and grow."
"In the past few months, Mayor Bloomberg, NYCEDC and the City have actively engaged the media community as it established a platform to ensure that New York City remains a leader in the media community, and grows its presence in the new media marketplace," said National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences President and CEO Peter Price "I am encouraged by the efforts displayed to date and am eager to continue working with the City as it moves forward with the initiatives announced today."
The initiatives are:
Fostering and Promoting Entrepreneurship and Innovation
NYC Media Lab: NYC Media Lab, a research center for media companies and universities, will create a collaborative environment for innovation by connecting companies looking to advance new media technologies with academic institutions undertaking related research. New York City is home to 10,000 media companies and more than 100 universities and colleges, many of which independently pursue media-related research. Like similar initiatives at StanfordUniversity and MIT, NYC Media Lab will maintain a database of projects to facilitate the interaction between academic and other nonprofit researchers and corporate partners, serve as a physical hub for networking events, and provide space for industry lectures and workshops. NYCEDC will release a Request for Proposals (RFP) in July to select partners to develop the lab and create a framework for the services it will offer. It is expected to be in operation by January 2010. Interested parties should email: firstname.lastname@example.com.
"New York City remains a global center for knowledge and culture, media and communications precisely because creative people thrive by living and working together in a vibrant city," said Columbia University President Lee C. Bollinger. "Our research universities continue to attract great minds and generate new intellectual capital in New York by bringing together scholars and practitioners in diverse fields – from journalism and business to engineering and computer science – whose collective innovations and ideas shape our media future. We are delighted to support the Mayor's newest initiative to encourage this vital industry."
"Providing media and tech entrepreneurs and the academic and not-for-profit communities with access to companies looking to conduct innovative research, will ensure that New York City maintains its role as a leader in the global media and technology industries. Creating a Media Lab will enable the City's businesses to capture the growth in the digital and new media marketplaces," said WPP's Chief Executive Sir Martin Sorrell.
Media Tech Bond Program: NYCEDC has created the Media Tech Bond Program to help companies purchase new manufacturing, research or production facilities, retrofit existing building to accommodate hi-tech servers, or make large IT purchases. The tax-exempt bond program was made possible by a recent change in Federal law that now allows tax-exempt financing for facilities that are used in the creation or production of intangible property, including patents, copyrights, formulas, processes, designs and other similar items. Media Tech Bonds may be utilized to finance projects in the range of $1 million to $10 million. Interested companies should contact: firstname.lastname@example.com.
"Some of the most interesting things happening in media today – and the people who do them – are right here in New York City," said Take-Two Interactive Software Chairman Strauss Zelnick. "This initiative will encourage and amplify that trend."
Media and Tech Fellowship: To increase opportunities for successful start-up companies in new media and encourage innovation in emerging sub-sectors, NYCEDC has established the Media and Tech Fellowship to be awarded to approximately 20 "rising star" media and technology entrepreneurs on an annual basis. Fellows will be provided with training, mentoring, networking opportunities with venture capital firms, and support services such as legal aid. Selection will be based on several criteria, including: demonstrated professional experience with a record of sustained business success and innovation; a business plan or early-stage start-up with the potential for significant New York City-based job creation; personal commitment to a continued investment in the culture and economic development of New York City; and an indication that the Fellowship will increase the entrepreneur's probability of success. NYCEDC will release an RFP this week to identify a manager for the program to launch by October 2009. Parties interested in receiving the RFP should e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com.
"As an entrepreneur who helped work to build blip.tv from the ground-up, I believe that New York City's entrepreneurial culture will be vital to the City's competitiveness in the future. I applaud NYCEDC and the City for creating a fellowship program that offers entrepreneurs access, information, and the support services necessary to launch a successful business," said Dina Kaplan, Co-founder of blip.tv.
NYC Start-up Procurement Initiative: The Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications will encourage local start-ups and established firms to team up on bidding for City IT contracts, and promote other City contracting opportunities for start-ups. The Department of Small Business Services will administer a "Prepare for Success" program which is a package of services to assist and encourage start-ups companies to expand through government contracting. City agencies will also host Gov2.0 Tech Forums – regular briefings on topics including City procurement and evolving IT processes. Special sessions will be organized for large contractors looking to interact with small technology companies that could act as subcontractors on City projects, providing an opportunity for both parties to network and foster future partnerships. The first Gov2.0 Tech Forum – with the Mayor's Office of Contract Services, the Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications, the Department of Small Business Services and private sector companies including Google and IBM – will take place July 9, 2009 from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Digital Sandbox at 55 Broad Street in Lower Manhattan. Interested companies should RSVP to: firstname.lastname@example.com.
"By educating small tech firms about doing business with the City, and encouraging private-sector partnerships when seeking public contracts, we'll help build relationships to yield new and better ideas for delivering quality, cost-effective IT services to New Yorkers – ever-important in these challenging fiscal times," said DoITT Commissioner Cosgrave.
"I applaud the City's efforts to engage the private sector, start-ups and small media businesses as it works to address the challenges facing the media industry today," said Draper Fisher Jurvetson Gotham Ventures Managing Partner Danny Schultz. "By providing a resource such as the Gov2.0 Tech Forum, these groups will be able to participate in ongoing conversations that foster improved relationships and facilitate innovative idea exchanges."
NYC BigApps Competition: Last month, Mayor Bloomberg announced the launch of NYC BigApps, an annual software competition for individuals or companies with operations in New York City to develop functional digital applications that utilize City data. Start-up and venture capital companies participating in MediaNYC 2020 expressed significant interest in utilizing City data to create new digital applications, and NYC BigApps will serve to stimulate innovation in the technology information and business media sub-sectors and attract and support developer talent in the City and surrounding communities. Winners will be selected in early 2010. NYCEDC released a Request for Expressions of Interest in June to garner interest among developers and the public regarding data content and a RFP for a competition partner on July 1.
"By consolidating City data and making it more accessible, and by engaging the City's media and technology industry, the NYC Big Apps Competition will foster the creation of new apps and new business models to help New Yorkers better navigate the City and inspire our entrepreneurs, start-ups and high-tech business community to create new consumer-friendly applications," said FirstMark Capital Managing Director Amish Jani.
Maintaining New York City's Competitiveness By Attracting and Training Top Talent
Media Freelancer Hive@55: The lack of affordable workspace and the prohibitive cost of specialized equipment for emerging sub-sectors such as gaming and social networking can impede the growth and sustainability of start-ups and small businesses in the sector. To address these issues, the City is partnering with the Downtown Alliance to launch a center for media freelancers at 55 Broad Street in Lower Manhattan. The Alliance will lease and fit out a 5,000-square-foot space to suit the needs of media professionals and others who need quality workspace on a daily or short term basis and access to services such as contract editing, news feeds, and conference space. NYCEDC is providing a $100,000 grant to assist with start-up costs. The "Hive@55" will provide workspace for 50 freelancers at a time, and will provide workspace and services for as many as 1,850 part-time and drop-in workers per year.
"Mayor Bloomberg understands well how to create companies and jobs. We at the Downtown Alliance are very pleased that his administration is supporting our 'Hive@55' co-working space in Lower Manhattan," said Alliance for Downtown New York Chairman Robert R. Douglass. "Lower Manhattan's diversified economy and growing residential population consists of many up-and-coming companies, service providers and entrepreneurs. 'Hive@55' will be a center for business incubation, a place where new companies and jobs will be created and a new chapter in New York City's economic growth and sustainability will be written."
"New York City has a wealth of independent media and tech talent that will benefit from access to resources that otherwise may have been prohibitively expensive or inaccessible," said Huffington Post Chief Executive Officer Eric Hippeau. "By creating new 'freelancer hives' targeted to specific sub-sectors within the industry, the City has created an environment where that community will have an opportunity to thrive, in spite of the difficult economic climate."
JumpStart New Media: To ensure that traditional media professionals have the skills necessary to succeed in a new media marketplace, the City will launch JumpStart New Media, a training program to assist displaced or entrepreneurial junior to mid-level employees in exploring opportunities in new and digital media. The program, to be launched in September, will also provide the City's media firms and entrepreneurs a pre-screened pool of high-quality candidates. JumpStart New Media will consist of a training "boot camp," after which the first class of 50 participants will be offered a 10-week unpaid apprenticeship with a new media company and the potential of converting to full-time employment, building on Mayor Bloomberg's successful JumpStart NYC program designed for workers laid off from the financial services sector. NYCEDC will release an RFP this week to identify an operator for the program.
"Making sure that our talented workforce has the tools necessary to keep pace with new media technology is one of the key challenges that traditional media outlets face," said Hearst Magazines President Cathie Black. "The City is taking an important step in addressing those needs through programs like JumpStart New Media, to retrain workers to provide them with new skills necessary to succeed in today's marketplace."
Attract the Next Generation of Successful Companies to New York City
International and Domestic Recruitment: New York City is home to 29 multi-billion dollar media companies, more than any other city in the nation. To keep it competitive within the global marketplace, and to increase representation among emerging international and domestic media players, the City, along with executives from New York City-based media enterprises, is embarking on a recruitment campaign in emerging markets across Asia and the Middle East, and in Silicon Valley and the greater Boston area.
"New York City's talented workforce, the diversity and concentration of its media businesses, and proximity to its consumers are what attracted Time Warner to locate here," said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Time Warner Jeff Bewkes. "We support the Mayor's efforts to recruit more international companies to locate here."
In order to facilitate interaction among traditional and new media professionals, and to engage the industry in discussions about issues ranging from content and distribution to the shifting media landscape, NYCEDC has created MediaNYC2020.com. Topics will be updated on a weekly basis and may include discussions on how consumers will search for and discover content; which payment models will support the industry and in what mix; will open or closed networks win out and in what cases; and how content consumption will be reallocated across blockbuster, professional mid- and long-tail, and user generated content. The MediaNYC2020.com forum can be accessed at: www.medianyc2020.com.
The City's Five Borough Economic Opportunity Plan is a comprehensive strategy to bring New York City through the current economic downturn as fast as possible. It focuses on three major areas: creating jobs for New Yorkers today, implementing a long-term vision for growing the city's economy, and building affordable, attractive neighborhoods in every borough. Taken together, the initiatives that the City has launched to achieve these goals will generate thousands of jobs and put New York City on a path to economic recovery and growth.

Ready Reckoner rate is assessments of property value by the state government on stamp duty & registration charges. Real estate being one of the most expensive markets. Every year the RR rate is increased citing the condition of the market.
In the year 2016 the implementation of RR was delayed due to sluggish market of real estate. But, finally, the rates are out; from April 2016 the increase in the RR is 7-8 % on average. The rates are increased by 4% in Navi Mumbai & 6% in Pune. Every year the increase in RR is in double digit. In 2014 rate were hiked 22% & prior to that rate were hiked 27%.
So, what does this mean?
With the increase in RR, home buyer will now have to shed extra bugs for stamp duty depending upon the location were he/she is buying the home in Maharashtra. Not only this there are few factors which are directly affected by an increase in RR these are a premium for FSI & development charges. If all these prices are affected it is expected that cost of a home will rise. Usually, developer passes all these rates to the consumer which in result will increase the amount paid by the consumer.
However, as of now registration charges are kept same which is a good news for the new home buyer.

Exeter Township's Highway Department is managed by Clarence D. Hamm, Highway Superintendent. The 10-man Highway Crew repair roads, install drainage facilities, collect leaves, mow all open space, rights-of-way and detention ponds through the Township. In addition, they plow snow, install signs, maintain parks, maintain the brush depository and pave roads. The Highway Crew also responds to emergencies such as downed trees and clogged storm sewers.
Leaf Collection
The Road Crew collects leaves in all residential subdivisions each Autumn.
Rural area residents (this would include any property not in a subdivision such as Farming Ridge, Hunter's Run, Sunrise, etc.) should call the Township Office and let us know that you have leaves at the street line for our pick up.
The leaves must be raked to the street line and may not include branches or other debris. Branches and debris, such as steel, bricks, etc. (which has been mixed uncovered) causes substantial damage to our equipment and poses danger to our employees.
2019 leaf collection will end on Friday, December 13th, 2019.
Snow Removal
The Exeter Township Road Crew is charged with public street snow removal throughout Exeter Township. In addition to removing the snow from Exeter owned streets, they also plow some of the State roads to enable our residents to get moving quickly.
If you live on a cul-de-sac please have patience. Cul-de-sacs are the last streets to be plowed, as they are the most difficult and time consuming.
Please refrain from calling the Township office during a snow storm, unless it is a true emergency. Rest assured that the Highway Department is on call as soon as the snow begins. Exeter Township has hundreds of miles of roads - the plows will get to your street as soon as possible.
The Board adopted Ordinance #498, which requires property owners to remove snow and ice from sidewalks within forty-eight (48) hours after the same shall have ceased to fall. Many complaints have been received that lack of snow removal from sidewalks is hazardous, particularly for children walking to and from their bus stops, those 55 or older and handicapped individuals.

This is a post simply because of all the horror that is happening in Boston right now. I have friends there, who have already checked in with families and are all fine..thank goodness. I just read that there are several hundred Mississippians there participating in the marathon today, prayers are with them and everyone else involved.
Keep everyone there in your thoughts and prayers tonight and always, always hold your loved ones closer and longer. It shouldn't take something this tragic to make us appreciate the smaller things in life nor should it take something this extreme to make us wake up and realize just how short life really can be.

Mountain Province Diamonds Announces Results of Kennady North Airborne Gravity Survey
22 Dec, 2011, 19:14 GMT
TORONTO and NEW YORK, December 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --
Company Considers Potential Spinout of Kennady North Project
Shares Issued and Outstanding: 80,345,558
Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. ("Mountain Province", the "Company") (TSX: MPV, NYSE-AMEX: MDM) is pleased to announce that analysis of the final results of the Falcon airborne gravity gradiometry (AGG) survey over the Company's 100%-controlled Kennady North Project has identified over 70 geophysical targets of which 29 are considered high priority and closely resemble the known kimberlites in the Kennady Lake area. The AGG survey was flown by Fugro Airborne Surveys. On-site quality control and interpretation of the data was done by independent consultant Mr. Kit Campbell, P. Geoph., of Intrepid Geophysics, Vancouver B.C.
Located within the diamond fields of Canada's Northwest Territories, the Kennady North Project encompasses thirteen leases and claims contiguous to the Company's 49%-controlled Gahcho Kué Project held in joint venture with De Beers Canada. Past exploration at Kennady North led to the discovery of the diamondiferous Faraday, Kelvin and Hobbes kimberlites. Drilling of these kimberlites returned excellent micro-diamond counts with a size frequency distribution very similar to the highly diamondiferous Gahcho Kué kimberlites, which have a fully diluted reserve grade of 1.57 carats per tonne.
Commenting, Mountain Province President and CEO Patrick Evans said: "We are very excited about the large number of high priority geophysical targets that have been identified at Kennady North. Besides the excellent micro-diamond counts and size frequency distribution from the known kimberlites, a 0.40 carat diamond was recovered from a 65 kilogram sample taken from Faraday and the samples recovered from Faraday also exhibit an unusually high percentage of yellow diamonds. This is very encouraging."
Mr. Evans added: "As soon as we've secured a land use permit for Kennady North, we intend following up with ground-truthing of the high priority targets in preparation for drilling next year. Mountain Province has retained Aurora Geosciences Ltd. based in Yellowknife, NWT, to manage the Kennady North exploration program."
The results of the AGG survey flown over the Gahcho Kué Project will be announced once the Joint Venture has completed an analysis of the final report.
Potential Spinout of Kennady North Project
Mountain Province is also pleased to announce that the Company is currently giving consideration to the potential spinout of the Kennady North Project into a newly-listed public company. A final decision on the potential spinout will be taken with a view to the best interests of shareholders in Mountain Province and a study of mechanisms for the potential spinout.
Patrick Evans commented: "The potential reorganization of the Company into two separate public companies would enable Mountain Province to focus on its flagship Gahcho Kué Project while Kennady Diamonds could focus on advancing of the highly prospective Kennady North Project. Shareholders will be kept informed of any proposals advanced in terms of the possible spinout."
About Mountain Province Diamonds
Mountain Province is a 49% participant with De Beers Canada in the Gahcho Kué JV located at Kennady Lake in Canada's Northwest Territories. The Gahcho Kué Project consists of a cluster of four diamondiferous kimberlites, three of which have a probable mineral reserve of 31.3 million tonnes grading 1.57 carats per tonne for total diamond content of 49 million carats.
Gahcho Kué is the world's largest and highest grade new diamond development project. A December 1, 2010 feasibility study filed by Mountain Province (available on SEDAR) indicates that the Gahcho Kué project has an IRR of 33.9%.
Mountain Province also controls 100% of the Kennady North Diamond Project adjacent to the De Beers JV property. Kennady North hosts three known diamondiferous kimberlites and a number of unexplained kimberlite mineral indicators.
Mountain Province Diamonds is included in the S&P/TSX Global Mining Index.

In case you have pain on your feet or if your feet show poor tolerance to standing, it is a good move to see a podiatrist Brisbane residents could easily access. Once you do so, your podiatrist will examine your feet and will recommend the right type of treatment. Usually, you need to wear special shoes that fit perfectly into your feet. You have the possibility of getting orthotics made to fit your existing shoes as well. Both these are equally good measures recommended by podiatrists. For consultation on podiatry Brisbane is a good centre that offers a number of well known podiatrists.
Foot pain is not the only ailment treated by your podiatrist Brisbane city dwellers could consult. When you have discolored nails also you could consult one of them in order to seek a remedy. He will diagnose the problem and will recommend the best treatment. Facilities of podiatry Brisbane residents are provided with are such that you never need to hesitate to go to them when you have any pain in your legs. Sometimes problems associated with legs contribute to pains in other areas of the body also. Therefore, if you feel that your legs are responsible for any ailment of yours you must visit one of them.
Discolored toenails cause problems to many people and when you meet a podiatrist Brisbane based patients consult, you will be able to find a quick solution if you also have such a problem. Usually, these are problems caused by fungi which are living beings that could not be seen with the naked eye. Once their spores land on nails and cause infection, the nails get discoloured making them ugly to look at. When you go to a professional of podiatry Brisbane patients often consult you will be able to find the solution.
Pains related to legs and problems with nails are not the only things attended by a podiatrist Brisbane residents consult. They also provide education to diabetes patients. The first thing a specialist in podiatry Brisbane diabetic patients consult will do is to assess the level of your ailment. After that he could provide you with advice that will ultimately have your condition under control. It is the management of diabetes that is more important than treatment as proper management of diabetes could minimize the need for treatment. Also, there is hardly any treatment that could cure diabetes.
A podiatrist is a health care professional who could help you with advice and treatment for many different issues. Though it is the pains in the leg and feet that are his specialties he could also look after diabetes and pains in other areas of the body. The reason is that it is the legs and feet and the way you walk that are responsible for many different pains you experience. When your legs and feet are looked after, you could prevent most other pains. Therefore, whenever you feel a pain in a leg or pain in any other area of the body for which you think your feet are responsible, you must see a podiatrist.
When you feel any pain in your legs of feet it is good to see a podiatrist Brisbane residents visit. When it comes to podiatry Brisbane is where you need to get the best specialist.

We have been studying the landmine problem for some time. The Benetech approach is similar to the standard high technology approach: try to understand the customer's needs and see if a novel solution can deliver a better solution. Different members of our team have spent time with leaders in the humanitarian landmine field, and we have learned a great deal. As we begin planning for such a solution, synthesizing some of that learning is important. There is a great deal of information out there, but our point of view is different and we hope useful.
I hope to share some of this learning from our team in the BeneBlog in this and future blog posts.
Point One. It's complicated.
The landmine problem is complex and multifaceted. Surprise. However, it's even more complicated than we guessed, even in the narrow area we are looking at, which is mine detection and removal/destruction. We aren't even dealing with the other parts of the mine action effort, such as:
- Stopping the production, export and use of mines
- Mine education and awareness
- Medical care and rehabilitation of mine victims
- Addressing the issues that lead to mine usage in conflicts
Just focusing on mine detection technology, we have been amazed at how little impact all of the development work on mine solutions have had on field demining. The great majority of mine detection work revolves around metal detectors, probes and sniffer dogs. In addition, mechanical devices such as vegetation clearers and modified bulldozers have an important role in the clearance process.
We have learned that the problems vary widely even inside a single country. Mines and unexploded ordnance (a related problem) appear in places with widely different characteristics:
- In and around buildings and other structures
- In and around roads and railways
- In terrain that ranges from flat to mountainous, dry to swampy, grassland to jungle
- With soil that affects the detection technology (such as rocks with metal content)
- Underwater in drainage systems, waterways and rice paddies
The mines and UXO are also quite different in their characteristics, handling and probing risks and so on.
Demining groups are experts in all of these issues: they have to be. They know how to assess a given situation, and will employ the best tools they have at hand for that particular job.
Rather than seeking the magic bullet solution to the demining problem, the challenge is to find a tool that deminers will use because it solves a real problem in the field. Our goal is to find a new tool that becomes as important a piece of the deminer's toolkit as the metal detector or dog. To do that, we need to solve a real problem better in a significant proportion of situations.

Whether you run a hotel, long term care facility, restaurant or many other operations, the pressure is always on the on-premise laundry to keep up with the demands for clean fresh linen. As an industry leader, Speed Queen is dedicated to providing laundry equipment to meet any on-premise need. Site visits to evaluate your needs and provide a quotation are always free of charge. And for challenging replacements, add-ons or new construction, we can help with layout design.
Washer Extractors
Hard mount washer extractors have a rigid steel frame and are the standard in most commercial on-premise laundry rooms. Secured to concrete floors, these work horses represent the most cost effective option for long term reliable service. These machines are found everywhere from fire stations and veterinarian clinics to hotel/motel laundry rooms.
A solid frame, made from robotic-ally welded boxed steel is the base of stability in the Speed Queen washer extractor providing efficiency and more machine for your money. Compare our frame that weighs 100 pounds or more to others that weigh as little as 45.5 pounds or even 33 pounds. Where some machines rust we use stainless steel and powder coated components. Double triple-lip bearing seals, easy to operate over-sized doors and availability of parts and service anywhere all add to the benefits of owning Speed Queen washer extractors.
Typical features like self-cleaning multi-compartment soap dispensers and automatic chemical supply injection are standard on all models. Available in capacities of 20, 30, 40, 60, 80 and 100 pound in easy 4-cycle controls or fully programmable models with viable speed drives and 30 water levels for maximum flexibility and precision for any application.
Soft Mount Washer Extractors
Soft mount washer extractors, sometimes referred to as "freestanding" offer a solution for installations where a solid ground level floor is not available or where time and energy efficiency must be maximized. Instead of a ridged frame bolted to a concrete surface, soft mount washers use a heavy duty suspension systems consisting of shocks and springs to dampen the forces exerted during normal wash and spin cycles.
This type of washer allows much higher G-Force extraction speeds which reduce water retention in laundry and therefore shorten dry times for greater utility savings and more available cycles per shift. The "soft" suspension together with an inverter drive also benefits the operator with reduced power usage, lower noise levels and fewer out of balance loads. Available with fully programmable controls in 20, 25, 30, 40, 55, 70, 90, and 125 pound capacity.
Drying Tumblers
Speed Queen single pocket drying tumblers are designed with fewer moving parts for less maintenance and less wear and tear. Lint compartments are large for easy cleaning. Most models allow a reversal of the door for more flexible placement into your laundry room. With over 100 years of experience, not only are our dryers the fastest drying most efficient in the industry but we offer programmable controls, fire suppression systems and auto dry systems that really work eliminating over drying of linen, fires and loss to employee down time.
These tumblers gain efficiency from "axial air flow" where the heated air entering the cylinder comes through the back, forcing more heated air through the top of the cylinder which allows some heated air to go around the cylinder and exit without coming into contact with the laundry. These tumblers are available in 25, 30, 35, and 55 pound capacities and will fit through 36" doorways. through the laundry before exiting. This is contrary to older designs where heated air is blown
More commonly seen in vended laundromats, stacked tumblers are also available from Speed Queen in non-vended formats for applications where floor space is tight but the need for extra drying capacity is not. Available in 30 pound per pocket models for 60 pound total capacity and also 45 pound models for 90 pound total capacity. These also utilize axial air flow and will fit through 36" doorways.
50 & 75 lb. Drying Tumblers
These very common tumblers are found in many commercial laundry rooms because of their enduring simple design, large size and relative ease of installation when compared to larger models. These tumblers use the traditional top down movement of heated air through the cylinder. Because the heat source is at the top of the unit, the overall dimensions of the machine often provide for easy replacement of existing units and another option for tight places. Modern programmable controls, fire suppression systems and over dry protection are available on these models.
Large Drying Tumblers
Speed Queen 120, 170 and 200 lb. capacity tumblers are the volume leaders and go-to tumblers for larger scale operations. Their size and superior drying performance help laundries maximize throughput to meet their daily workload without the need for added shifts or costly overtime.
The cylinders of these tumblers deliver the volume necessary to allow even large loads to tumble freely. This encourages better air movement and speeds the drying process.
Auto reversing cylinders help eliminate tangles of large items such as sheets and blankets. This ensures pieces are dried evenly and workers can promptly remove loads at cycle completion.
Flat-work Finishers
Designed for high volume ironing of "flatwork" items like sheets, pillow cases and table clothes, the continuous feed flat work finisher can be ordered in a variety of configurations in heat type and roller size depending on capacity and material size needs. Often installed in upscale hotels, party rental businesses and other sites demanding the highest quality finished results. Models available with 10", 13"and 20" sized rollers and finished widths of 55" to 126."
Stacked Washer Extractor / Drying Tumblers
When space is limited in your laundry room but you need larger equipment, Speed Queen has a solution with this stacked hard mount washer extractor and drying tumbler in one unit. Available in 30 pound and 50 pound capacities. More specifically, the 30 pound model has a 30 pound washer with a 30 pound tumbler on top. Likewise with the 50 pound model, both washer and tumbler are a 50 pound capacity. This configuration of an equally sized tumbler to washer is helped with a 200 G-force capable washer on bottom to spin more water out of the laundry before an easy transfer to the upper tumbler. The clean design is a contribution from the refreshed look of Speed Queen's latest vended equipment which benefits from sleeker fascia panels and improved door hinges for added strength and a wider door swing on the washer.
The attached brochure has specifications but we invite you to call us at T&L Equipment to see what solution matches your building and needs.
Small Chassis Machines
Speed Queen's commercial top load washers, front load washers, dryers, stacked dryers and stacked washer dryer units are built with heavy components and deliver quality results. These units work well in unique applications where laundry volumes are light and space is tight, such as small veterinary clinics, fast food restaurants, spas and beauty salons. Front load and top load washer options deliver excellent wash results and energy-saving spin speeds, while Speed Queen dryers offer large cylinders to produce fast and energy efficient drying.
The machine on the left is a washer dryer stack unit that features an Energy Star qualified 21.5 lb. capacity front load washer with over sized door, a high-speed extraction of 440 G-force and all steel drive components (pulley, trunion, shaft, tub, outer tub and bearings).
On the right is a stacked dryer with 2 drying pockets available in gas or electric heat and designed to save space while doing twice the work of a regular side by side dryer.
As with their other commercial laundry equipment, Speed Queen's small chassis equipment is not designed to be short life cycle throw away equipment but equipment that can be serviced and returned to work.
Firemen's PPE Drying Cabinet
The correct drying solution for drying fire turnout gear / bunker gear. The Firemen's Drying Cabinet is all electric and works simply by circulating warm air at a safe temperature around and through your washed turnout gear for complete drying in two or three hours rather than a day or two. Using a drying cabinet rather than a tumbler protects expensive turnout gear from the mechanical action, uncontrolled heat and heated surfaces within the tumbler basket. Using a drying cabinet rather than air drying saves time and helps prevent smells and fabric degradation from mildew and other moisture thriving fungi. Five timed preset programs set to the NFPA recommended limit of 105 degrees keep gear safe while available temperature settings from 100 to 150 degrees provide the flexibility to dry other items.

U.S. Sen. John McCain has served as a senator from Arizona for nearly 30 years. But for McCain to win reelection in November, the war hero-politician will first have to survive his own party's primary.
McCain will square off against challenger Kelli Ward in Arizona's Tuesday Republican primary. Ward, until recently a relatively unknown state senator in Arizona, has made headlines in the weeks leading up to Tuesday's primary with a series of controversial attacks against McCain. Meanwhile, pundits speculate that the closer-than-expected primary and general election tests McCain faces in 2016 have prevented the iconic politician from more pointedly criticizing GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.
Ward has represented Arizona's Fifth Legislative District as a state senator since 2013. She resigned from office in December to focus on her U.S. Senate campaign six months after announcing her candidacy on July 14, 2015. The 47-year-old doctor of osteopathic medicine was born in Virginia and attended Duke University in North Carolina before heading to the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine for medical school and A.T. Still University in Arizona for a master's degree in public health.
Ward has used her status as a physician to criticize Obamacare. While Ward acknowledges McCain's status as an American war hero and longtime public servant, she has accused him of being too much of an "establishment" candidate who has not done enough to curb government spending and is too close to Democrats like presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. Ward has been very critical of McCain's inaction on immigration reform and alleged support of "amnesty." She supports Trump's plan for a border wall across the U.S.-Mexico border.
Most polls of likely Republican primary voters show McCain ahead of Ward, but not by much. Some polls show McCain up only by low double digits, while others have had him as close as two points ahead of Ward. Ward has even come out on top in some surveys. Ward has denied that the polls accurately reflect Arizona voters, telling Fox News' Sean Hannity that McCain "definitely is showing the desperation in the campaign," adding, "If this polling were true, why would he bother?"
In the lead-up to Tuesday's vote, Ward has garnered attention for a series of controversial attacks against McCain.
On July 11, Kelli Ward published an attack ad on her Facebook page outlining how McCain's policies line up with those of Clinton. The ad was a near exact copy of a 2008 Republican primary attack ad against McCain from then Republican rival Mitt Romney. In response to criticism of the ads' similarities, a campaign spokesperson for Ward said, "Mitt Romney got it right, If the shoe fits, wear it. The substance is still the same. Some things never change."
More recently, Ward attacked McCain for his age, questioning his health. Ward told POLITICO last week that the soon-to-be 80-year-old senator may not live to finish out another term.
"I'm a doctor," Ward said. "The life expectancy of the American male is not 86. It's less."
The McCain campaign dismissed the age criticism as an act of desperation from a losing campaign.
On Saturday, Ward wrote off McCain's attendance at the grand opening of a playground in honor of Kayla Mueller, the 26-year-old hostage from Prescott who was murdered by Islamic State militants, as a last-ditch ploy for votes.
Though McCain may choose to take a dismissive tone towards Ward's attacks, critics argue that the reason he has thus far refrained from more harshly criticizing Trump or revoking his endorsement of the GOP nominee — something anti-Trump conservatives have urged him to do for months — is a fear of alienating far-right conservatives who might bail on him for Ward if he turns on Trump. McCain has at times denounced specific comments, such as the GOP nominee's attacks against Gold Star family members Khizr and Ghazala Khan, but he still endorses the businessman.

The Mirage
Mirage Hotel © Jim G
Another MGM mega-casino, the showpiece at the Mirage is a volcano that shoots flames 100 feet (30m) into the night sky every 15 minutes (6pm to midnight), spewing smoke and transforming a tranquil waterfall into spectacular streams of molten lava. As you'd expect of Las Vegas, it's all quite kitsch, but great entertainment. Siegfried & Roy's White Tigers used to be one of the Mirage's signature attractions, but the show was cancelled in 2003 after Roy Horn was attacked by one of the tigers during a show. At any given time. However, there are a number of outrageous attractions at the casino. A popular feature is the aquarium located behind the Front Desk. This 20,000-gallon saltwater aquarium is home to angelfish, puffer fish, tangs, sharks and other exotic sea creatures.
Address: 3400 S. Las Vegas Boulevard

O (Omicron) (SHORT FILM)
As with "Sight," the short science fiction film that we highlighted as one of last week's video offerings, the best way to watch the wonder that is "O (Omicron)" is probably to go into it "blind," as it were, without knowing anything about it in advance. Both visually and musically, it's a dazzling and overwhelming piece of work that demands full, undivided attention, and also a good set of speakers or headphones with the volume turned way up. For a first viewing we recommend simply letting it envelope you, while bearing in mind that there's a clear guiding vision behind it, and a dystopian SF-influenced one at that. The Huffington Post's Andres Jauregui captures the general vibe when he asks, "What, apart from visiting the H.R. Giger Museum, could come close to approximating the sublime thrill of running for your life inside an alien space ship? Well, for starters, there's 'Omicron' … Paired with its own soundtrack, the overall effect is immense, immersive, and slightly terrifying."
Also note that while a person would be forgiven for thinking the environment the film depicts is a purely virtual/CG creation, such a person would be wrong. This is actually a real-world installation, created via projection-mapping technology, that you can visit in person, and this fact makes the whole thing all the more striking (see the notes below).
"O (Omicron)" is "a permanent installation directed by Romain Tardy & Thomas Vaquié," who explain the project's inception in a June 18 blog post:
Last year, we were approached to create our first permanent installation for the new museum of architecture of Hala Stulecia, in Wroclaw, Poland. The piece — that we called O (Omicron), is actually the last part of the visit, and a way to create a link between the rich history of the building and the present times, by turning this massive concrete structure into a lively architecture.
They also explain its setting:
When opened, Hala Stulecia was the largest reinforced concrete structure in the world. With a diameter of 65m it was home to the largest dome built since the Pantheon in Rome eighteen centuries earlier. The Centennial Hall was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2006. It is reasonable to think that when Hala Stulecia was built in 1913 Max Berg's ambition for his construction was to pass the test of time. What could have been his vision of the monument in the distant future? How did he imagine the olding of the materials? The evolution of the surrounding urbanism and populations?
And its conception:
The piece proposed for the Centennial Hall of Wroclaw is based around the notion of timelessness in architecture, and the idea of what future has meant throughout the 20th century. Taking the 1910's as a starting point (the dome was erected in 1913), historical and artistic references were used to reveal the architecture of the space, its timeless and, more surprisingly, very modern dimension. A deliberately minimalist visual aesthetic allowed to highlight the very architecture of Hala Stulecia's dome and re-affirm its place at the core of the piece. Minimalism also appeared to be the most appropriate means of conveying this idea of future at different periods of time (from 20's/30's anticipation film to more contemporary productions ). But the use of these references was not simply formal: the vision of futuristic totalitarian societies seemed to echo back real moments in the history of the building, warning us against the dangers of an idealized vision of the future.
And its awesome music:
Inspiration for the music composed by Thomas for this project was found in both orchestral work, echoing the colossal size of the architecture, and electronic textures, evoking the action of time. The score also tried and recreate a sense of evolution of the materials used for the dome structure, and their sonic aging.
And its guiding vision:
By using references such as Fritz Lang's Metropolis or the utopian projects of Archigram to confront the different visions of the future at different times, we were interested in trying to create a vision of a future with no precise time reference. A timeless future.
There's also a fascinating "making of" film to accompany the main project. If you're like us, watching it and reading all of the above will make you want to go back and watch the main piece again in order to see its meaning newly illuminated.


text: MOVIES UCLA Wraps Up First Film School Partnership With Telluride Festival 11:28 AM PDT 9/10/2011 by Degen Pener FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME UCLA/TFT dean Teri Schwartz, left, and Telluride Film Festival co-directors Tom Luddy and Julie Huntsinger UCLA's School of Theater, Film and Television inaugurated a new program to bring graduate students to the Colorado fest. The UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television successfully concluded an inaugural program with the Telluride Film Festival dubbed Film Lab on Sept. 5. The initiative brought 10 of the school's top MFA/PhD filmmakers, named Film Lab Fellows, to the festival. The newly launched program counts producer, UCLA alum and film school executive board member Frank Marshall as founding sponsor. COMPLETE COVERAGE: Telluride Film Festival "It's a very robust festival experience where they attend workshops, screenings and networking events that are designed just for them," said UCLA/TFT dean Teri Schwartz. Special sessions included meetings with Ken Burns, Peter Sellars and the filmmakers of the new drama Albert Nobbs, including director Rodrigo Garcia, star/producer/writer Glenn Close and producers Bonnie Curtis and Julie Lynn. On the last day, the contingent, all final-year graduate students, also met with the co-directors of the festival, Julie Huntsinger, Tom Luddy and Gary Meyer. One of the students, Julio Ramos, had his Spanish-language short, A Doctor's Job, about a financially pressed doctor who moonlights as a cab driver, presented at the festival. PHOTOS: 12 Films to Know at the Telluride Film Festival "We're delighted to be involved in this kind of real strategic alliance with Telluride. A partnership like this between two major cinematic institutions is very exciting," said Schwartz. "We're the only school that has anything like this with any festival in the world." She called a meeting with director Alexander Payne -- a UCLA/TFT alumni whose The Descendants received critical acclaim at the festival -- a highlight. "Alexander was tremendously generous with his time, ideas and inspiring advice," said Schwartz. FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Degen Pener email@example.com @thr

California parents who have gotten divorced may prefer that they both play a role in raising their children after the marriage ends. In recent years, lawmakers in several states have also pushed for parents to have an equitable role in raising children after a divorce. For some legislators, it may be a way to advance an agenda of gender equality. Creating a shared parenting arrangement may be a way to get parents to cooperate during divorce proceedings.
Instead of two people fighting for the right to be a parent, the law can dictate that both parents will have a role in their child's life. This may prevent one person leaving a custody hearing feeling like a part-time visitor as opposed to a true parent. In many cases, women tend to be given custody of children as they have long been seen as better caregivers.
This has generally been true even as laws have changed to reflect changing gender roles. However, women's rights groups fear that wage and other inequalities could be exacerbated by shared parenting. For instance, it could lead to the loss of child support payments that may be vital to helping mothers make ends meet if they cannot work. They also fear that shared parenting could keep an abusive partner in a woman's life.
In a divorce, the question of which parent gets custody of a child may be a contentious one. However, it may be possible to use mediation or collaborative law processes to come to an amicable agreement. Parents should remember that the goal of a custody arrangement is to preserve the child's best interests. Therefore, it may be ideal if both parents play a role in a child's life regardless of their feelings toward each other.

Lillard leads Trail Blazers to 128-112 win over Pelicans
Damian Lillard scored 22 points and eight assists to lead the Portland Trail Blazers to a 128-112 win over the New Orleans Pelicans
PORTLAND, Ore. -- Giving up 20 points in a quarter to a reserve forward may have been just the thing to let New Orleans Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry air his many grievances with his team's defense.
Damian Lillard scored 22 points and eight assists to lead the Portland Trail Blazers to a 128-112 win over the Pelicans on Friday night.
CJ McCollum and reserve forward Jake Layman each had 20 points for Portland. Layman got all his scoring in the second quarter.
Anthony Davis finished with 27 points and seven rebounds for New Orleans. Jrue Holiday had 20 points and Julius Randle added 19.
Gentry was unhappy with the Trail Blazers' defensive effort. New Orleans came in ranked 25th in defensive rating.
"We've got to do better defensively," Gentry said. "Every night it's 130, 140, 147, we're not going to win games until we're able to guard somebody. We've got to be able to defend and we're not doing it."
For Gentry, the problem for the Pelicans is simple.
"It's keeping your man in front of you and if you can't do it, we gotta find someone who can," he said. "We just can't keep having guys drop to the basket and lay it in. We can't have a guy come in and get 20 points and laugh at us while he's doing it. At some stage, you've gotta have pride in what you're doing."
The urgency for Gentry is kicking in as the Pelicans fell to 21-25, four games out of the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
Davis, who hurt his hand in the fourth quarter, did not speak to reporters.
Portland opened things up in the second thanks to their reserves, most notably the scoring from Layman. In the span of 2 1/2 minutes, the Moda Center became a playground-like scene. Layman scored 11 points in six Portland possessions as the crowd stood up and the Blazers force-fed him the ball, helping them push their lead as high as 17.
After the game, Lillard joked that Layman scored "all" of Portland's 74 first quarter points.
"The basket looked big," Layman said. "You just throw it up there and it goes in."
"When he gets hot, he's a live wire," Blazers forward Evan Turner said of Layman.
The Blazers also had 23 second chance points thanks to 18 offensive rebounds.
The Blazers quickly got their lead up to 21 in the third quarter, with Lillard scoring 10 points in the period.
New Orleans, which trailed by 18 going into the fourth, got a push from its reserves to pull within eight with under eight minutes remaining.
A 3-point play by McCollum pushed the lead back to 11, which helped get the Blazers back on track with 7:37 left.
Pelicans: New Orleans has struggled with injuries, but one of the key contributors is getting healthier. It's only been nine days since forward Nikola Mirotic was cleared to return to action after missing 12 straight games in December and early January. Gentry told reporters before the game that he's not monitoring Mirotic's minutes anymore.
"I think when he first came back, you want to be a little cautious on it," Gentry said. "I don't plan on playing him 38 minutes or anything but I don't have to look at anything and say he's at 25 minutes, uh oh."
Trail Blazers: With a backcourt featuring two scoring guards, questions about the defense are frequent. But lately, they've been quite stingy. Over the last 10 games, the Blazers have been fourth in defensive rating. Coach Terry Stotts likes the team's consistency on that end.
"Part of it is we've been playing teams with poor records but we've still stayed consistent with it," Stotts said. "We've been pretty locked in on scouting reports and tendencies and their plays and things like that. But over the last 11-12 games, statistically we've been pretty good."
Pelicans: At Memphis on Monday night.
Trail Blazers: At Utah on Monday night.

My father-in-law had grown kumquats in his backyard. A small orangelike fruit. I might have tasted them but I don't remembered if I liked them or not. But he would often graft his various fruit trees to produced the same fruit. Then recently I found these mandaquats at the Davis Food Co-op. Their rich colors attracted me. Amazing what is out there, the different combinations. I don't think my father-in-law came up with something like this when he grafted his trees.
Note – a new signature! no more printing. And did I taste these?…nope, not yet.

London Police CCTV Delivers Town Regeneration…
"We can regenerate many towns with these surveillance cameras." (London Police Force)
One of the world's most respected law enforcement agencies has turned to Viseum UK's CCTV technology, to solve the problem in its most troublesome UK areas affected by crime and antisocial disorder. The police force in question had planned their first deployments for two years, and this influenced Viseum's ability to customise their Redeployable 360° CCTV Product Solution, to meet the police force's exact needs. This law enforcement agency now has the field evidence to prove that the Viseum Redeployable 360-degree CCTV surveillance cameras significantly reduce crime in troublesome wide-area environments, thanks to the considerable deterrent effect created by having the 360° CCTV surveillance cameras on site.
The unbeatable power of these surveillance cameras in regenerating a towns crime hotspots – with a so far 100% success rate – is showing local authorities and law enforcement agencies how well-managed Regeneration Schemes are now being operated, giving renewed hope that they will be able to consistently meet crime prevention and detection targets.
The head of CCTV operations for Britain's largest police force said: "There is no other product like it, and we see a range of possibilities for deploying the Viseum 360-degree CCTV surveillance cameras where previously we would have had to use less elegant, less effective solutions. The significant onboard recording capacity and lack of need for an observation post, all add to the overall picture of the Viseum 360-degree cameras saving us time and money and allowing us to deploy rapidly and effectively."
Police officers tasked with crime reduction in some of London's troubled towns, said: "The Viseum camera system has been deployed as an overt deterrent on estates identified as having some of the worst records for youth-related crime and antisocial disorder in London. And, "Where London's unresolved Town Regeneration areas have remained a priority for the last several years, our police/local authority partnerships have previously been unable to permanently resolve the issues despite significant interventions including enforcement and engagement."
"The quality of the Viseum system with its ability to follow and zoom in automatically for facial identification is excellent. Within two weeks the system captured two suspects causing criminal damage. The images downloaded from a local police officer were shown to the suspects upon arrest. Word spreads quickly that offences committed near these cameras will be captured and the images will be of significant quality. This camera has now had a measurable impact on crime and disorder. It has been a real deterrent and has provided much-needed reassurance to the community. Anecdotal reports from the public include being impressed that 'the kids don't like that it's good that you're staffing it all the time'. The fact that people can see it moving gives the impression someone is operating it in a control room."
Stuart Thompson, President of Viseum UK, said: "The first major incident our cameras clear up is likely to be the last per deployment, because the perpetrators get caught. From experience, once we are able to produce extended, high-quality close-up and panoramic evidence of the incident, the criminal fraternity realise they can no longer commit crime where Viseum cameras protect and the problem is cleared up overnight."
About the Viseum 360 Town Regeneration Surveillance Camera
Most wide area PTZ Cameras have already exceeded their life expectancy and in any case, through cost and lack of resources, most of these PTZ Cameras are pointing the wrong way when crimes occur. Viseum UK presents an unparalleled value for money offering for customers to stay on top of all their camera installations. This is being achieved by replacing or upgrading PTZ Cameras to become Viseum 360-degree surveillance cameras, which in turn command control security staff to spend their time more effectively, to optimise overall efficiencies and provide a much more viable solution for CCTV scheme expansion.
"Everywhere the Viseum 360° CCTV camera has been deployed it has delivered security success. It has immediately had the effect of making people realise they are actually being looked after 24/7/365 – unlike previous technologies which often prove so ineffective that criminals all but disregard them."

The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free.
Last weekend, we headed down to check out the Intel Technology Experience at Best Buy. Did you know that most (79%) of Americans are excited about the chance to learn and try out new technologies, half are frustrated by the lack of access to them beyond what they read or see in the media, according to a new study by Intel and Toluna.
Bummer right? Because there's a lot of stuff out there!
That's the reason why Intel and Best Buy are now teaming up to bring new Intel Technology Experience zones to 50 Best Buy stores in major markets across the U.S. The Intel Technology Experience lets customers – from tech enthusiasts to technophobes – play, explore, and be inspired by the power of technology with hands-on activities like 3D printing and virtual reality games. For many, this is the first opportunity to see, touch, and play with exciting new technologies they've only heard about.
The Intel Technology Experience at the Southcenter BestBuy was really cool. We had fun getting a hands on experience checking out new tablets and laptops. We watched a 3D printer make a robot (and we really wanted to print one ourselves to take home – but it takes several hours) and even try out our racing skills on Mars! All of these cool things are powered by Intel processors.
The department was staffed by specially trained Best Buy Blue Shirts that were more than willing to talk to us and answer our questions and help other customers make the most of each area within the experience. Each season, Intel will refresh the venues with a new array of technology experiences.
For more information about the Intel Technology Experience areas, including a list of stores, visit www.bestbuy.com/intel.

Lecture'Resisting the Rite'
'Everyone knows about the hostile audience reaction to the first performance of Le sacre du printemps, but resistance to the work and its original import has been constant over the course of the century since then, affecting its subject, its interpretation, and its performance practice. The chief resisters were Stravinsky, Diaghilev and Roerich, the ballet's creators, and as a result of their resistance the meaning of the work and its cultural significance has been utterly transformed.

'Liszt and Bad Taste'
'Surely no great composer has been as often accused of bad taste as Franz Liszt (1811-1886). Yet, these accusations have had no discernible impact on his status among the great. Can we turn the relationship around and use Liszt and his reputation as a lens through which to view, and a standard by which to critique, the concept of bad taste? In this lecture, Richard Taruskin will investigate the origins of this concept and explore its function in criticism.'

In every frame (does not matter which type, frames are typical version of limiting) there have been inserted real visas of mine. Visas to cross the borders that we have created…
At the back of the necklace there have been placed a typical version of residence permit, passport's stamps to enter and exit for a country as other examples of limitation of freedom of travel and residence.
Finally at the back side of the last frame it has been inserted articles from "the Universal Declaration of Human Rights" to remind ourselves who we are and what we have without question.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Two University of Illinois researchers, Phillip A. Newmark, a professor of cell and developmental biology, and Wilfred A. van der Donk, the William H. and Janet Lycan professor of chemistry, have been named Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigators.
Newmark and van der Donk are among 56 biomedical scientists chosen from among 1,070 applications submitted in a nationwide competition. The 2008 investigators were selected for their ability to bring "new and innovative ways of thinking about biology to the HHMI community," said Thomas R. Cech, the president of the institute.
The Maryland-based institute is a private philanthropy dedicated to supporting biomedical research and science education. It is committing more than $600 million to support new research conducted by the 56 investigators in their first term of appointment.
Two other U. of I. faculty members have received HHMI awards. Chemistry professor Yi Lu was named an HHMI professor in 2002, and physics professor Taekjip Ha became an HHMI investigator in 2005. The campus has received numerous educational grants from the institute, beginning in 1993.
Newmark long has been fascinated by the freshwater planarian, a flatworm that has remarkable powers of regeneration. Cut it into numerous pieces and each piece will regenerate missing body parts, including brains, digestive organs and in most cases, reproductive organs.
According to those making the award, Newmark has been "instrumental in establishing planarians as a model system for studying regeneration at the molecular level. … (He) is exploring a central question that has long intrigued biologists – what are the signals or cues that tell a cell to become a germ cell? He hopes to answer that question by studying the ways planarians develop and regenerate their germ cells."
"The department is delighted and proud of Dr. Newmark's selection as an HHMI investigator," said cell and developmental biology professor and department head Andrew Belmont. "The vast majority of scientists devote their careers to making steady but incremental progress on previously established lines of research. In contrast, a very select, very small group of scientists instead pioneer completely new approaches and methodologies, which then serve a much broader community."
"Dr. Newmark falls into the latter class of scientists, and it is tremendously satisfying to see the HHMI reward him for his vision, risk-taking and hard work," Belmont said.
Belmont noted that Newmark has worked since his days as a postdoctoral fellow to turn planarians into a modern biological model organism.
"He and his colleagues are now well on their way toward this goal – capturing the enthusiasm of a broader community of developmental biologists who have embraced the potential of this model system for studying fundamental questions related to regeneration and stem-cell biology. We are all excited as we anticipate his laboratory's future progress in these fields that will now be greatly facilitated by HHMI funding," Belmont said.
Newmark was one of five recipients nationwide of the 2003 Damon Runyon Scholar Award and he received a 2003 CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation. He is a faculty member of the Neuroscience Program and an affiliate of the Institute for Genomic Biology.
As an HHMI investigator, van der Donk will work to identify and exploit new classes of compounds that have potential as antibiotics. He studies microbial agents that have antibiotic properties but which have so far not been developed for therapeutic use in humans. He will also make use of rich data sources, such as genome databases, to search for promising compounds.
Van der Donk is a co-principal investigator on a team of researchers at Illinois and the University of Wisconsin that last year received a five-year, $7 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to discover, engineer and produce a class of antibiotic agents.
Van der Donk also is a member of a related research theme at the Institute for Genomic Biology: Mining Microbial Genomes for Novel Antibiotics.
"Although he's intensely focused on this fundamental research, which he calls an arms race with the microbes, van der Donk is equally committed to inspiring students – in both the classroom and the laboratory – to become excited about science," HHMI officials wrote in announcing the award.
"Wilfred van der Donk is one of the country's leading chemical biologists," said Illinois chemistry department head Steven Zimmerman. "He combines a sharp eye for critical problems with a deeply analytical and creative mind that produces unique solutions. The HHMI award will give him the freedom to tackle some very important and challenging problems already under way in his laboratory, such as developing new antibiotics to treat drug-resistant infections."
"He will also be able to initiate new projects in the area of cell biology, with one project potentially offering new insights into the malaria life cycle in human cells," Zimmerman said. "Wilfred is all around an outstanding teacher, scholar and colleague – always ready to help and with outstanding judgment and standards."
The HHMI supports the scientists themselves rather than focusing on a particular line of research. This gives HHMI investigators the freedom to explore and, if necessary, change the direction of their research. The multi-year support also allows them to follow their ideas through to fruition – even if it takes them many years.

Warriors Give Fans Rare Glimpse Inside NBA Draft With Social Media
Golden State Warriors fans will get what appears to be unprecedented candid access to their team's NBA Draft machinations Thursday evening with live tweets sent directly from within the team's "war room" throughout the event.
As the Warriors' coach, ownership, managers and advisors hunker down in Oakland to consider trades, debate picks and track who other teams choose, Kevin Cote, team's head of digital marketing, will be embedded next to consultant Jerry West and others, smartphone and laptop at hand. He'll document strategy and reactions, post photos from inside to Instagram and answer fan questions about the process.
Fans are encouraged to follow along with the @warriors Twitter handle and use the hashtag #GSWDraft to submit questions, while Cote's colleagues outside the war room will provide additional video coverage and posts to other platforms including Facebook and Google+.
Other teams around the league will also include social media to share with their fans; the Dallas Mavericks are hosting a draft night Google+ Hangout, for example, while the Portland Trailblazers have a variety of offerings planned. But giving fans access to a team's war room — traditionally a very secretive location alternately marked by stress, tension, joy and relief — appears to be a step beyond.
"No one we know of has ever done anything like this," Cote told Mashable in an interview.
The idea, Cote says, couldn't have been made possible without a high level of trust from team executives.
"Luckily it's a very forward-thinking organization when it comes to social media and digital, and the big thing is it's about the fans," he says. "We're very lucky to know that we're encouraged to take advantage of these technologies as much as possible."
Fans can expect a fly-on-the-wall approach with updates on how Warriors brass adjusts to other teams' picks — interactions between West and general manager Bob Myers, for example, or whether a player the team liked in workouts and evaluation was snatched up by another NBA team. The team has four picks in the draft (two more than normal), so it promises to be an active day.
But Warriors' marketing and communications personnel will also make sure not to give away too much information such as critical tips on specific players, potential trades or other strategy and secrets that could put the team at a competitive disadvantage in the draft.
"We're not going to be tweeting in our pick to [league commissioner] David Stern," Cote says. "But maybe we'll get there someday."
