It's always great to try new and exciting products that can better my life. My name is Kuen Tang and I'm a C6/7 quadriplegic. I am tired of using my power chair all the time. I've always wished that I would be able to push up ramps or hills all by myself, but sadly after 9 years of trying, I was not successful… that is until I trialed these Magic Wheels.
(I got these from their web site.)
What are MAGICWHEELS®?
MAGICWHEELS Are all mechanical 2-geared wheelchair wheels with no batteries which replace the standard spoke, mag or power assist wheels on your manual wheelchair.
How do MAGICWHEELS work?
MAGICWHEELS – 2-speed wheelchair gears work very similar to a 2 speed bicycle allowing you to shift into a lower gear before you climb hills or roll over any type of uneven or rough terrain.
They have a simple and easy shifter for users with full or limited hand and arm strength. Plus quick release axles for those who regularly remove their wheels. Bolt on axles may also be adapted.
Another feature is the Hill Holder which eliminates the "Surge Affect" usually necessary when climbing hills or long ramps. While in low gear, the Hill Holding feature engages, allowing users to rest between every push without rolling backwards. This eliminates the need to keep your momentum going thus relieving undue strain on your upper body caused by surging.
While going downhill in low gear, the braking feature allows for 50% less required force to stop. This substantially increases the stopping power you have with no extra strength required. The braking feature also allows those using vinyl to stop on hills with less 'Hand Burn" usually felt with vinyl.
Unlike power assist wheels, MAGICWHEELS have no batteries and no motors. You only use them when you need them and the remainder of the time your wheelchair works very similar to how it does with standard wheels installed.
There are some down side to these wheels:
1) MAGICWHEELS will add around 10 pounds to the total weight of your wheels, depending on which handrim options you choose; 8.12 for the lightest options and 10.5 for the heaviest.
2) There is a learning period you must allow time for… but give it a chance, once you understand the mechanics of the wheels and shifting the gears, then using these wheels becomes easy.
3) Cost is a big barrier to getting these wheels. They average about $6000 a set.
With the negatives mentioned, I had such a positive experience with these wheels; I can honestly say that they have changed my life.
1) The first thing I did after putting these wheels on, I went to try them on my ramp. (which I've never been able to wheel up independently) I was able to successfully not only wheel up the ramp all by myself in the first try, I was also able to wheel down the ramp and stop at the bottom as well. I was so excited with my success; I wheeled up and down 4 additional times.
2) I started going out wheeling around my neighborhood by myself and my family members are no longer worried because I was able to get up any curb cut (no matter the depth). Another added bonus was… if my arms were tired, I simply shift gear and push less weight and taking a "break" while wheeling.
3) For the first time in 3 years, I was able to push up the ramp to go into my Van independently and able to stay in my manual wheelchair longer.
Just being able to wheel up and down ramps or hills independently has really changed my outlook. I know that I do not need my power chair all the time if I have these Magic Wheels; strength, curb cuts, hills and ramps are no longer barriers to my independence… I can finally use my own power to get me from point A to point B. I'm confident that these wheels will help me to increase my strength, improve my health and help me to be even more independent in life.
CAUTION: These wheels are not for everyone, please keep an open mind while trial them. MAGICWHEELS have kindly loaned the CPA office in Edmonton a trial set of wheels, if you are interested, please contact email@example.com and make arrangements for trials.

VIDEO | Girl Scouts from Addison Elementary raise awarness for Foster Care Program | By Amy Kauper
Jan. 24, 2018 – Slinger, WI – Junior Girl Scout Troop No. 6244 made up of fifth graders from Addison Elementary School in Slinger worked toward earning their bronze award (first of three levels in the Girl Scout program).
The girls chose to raise awareness for the Foster Care Program in Washington County. They just completed their project this week and handed over 50 new backpacks filled with special gifts (pillows, journals, fidget spinners, and home made pillow cases made by the girls) for kids in the program.
The girls hope was that the new backpacks would be able to replace the garbage bags kids normally use and provide hope and a smile as they transition to the foster home or back to their permanent home.
The girls used a video to raise awareness via social media and helped bring in all the amazing donations.

The Czech and Slovak economies have been in great shape for several years now and still continue to improve with companies reporting record results year after year. Today, the two are among the largest manufacturing bases for the automotive industry in Europe. Countless car parts are manufactured there and hundreds of thousands of finished vehicles leave their production lines every year. There even is a saying that it is possible to assemble a complete car from parts made within the territory of the two countries - it would be a funny hybrid between ŠKODA, TOYOTA, KIA, HYUNDAI, PEUGEOT, JAGUAR and LAND ROVER, but it would drive!
Nonetheless, the two economies are facing a serious challenge due to their own success.
A historically-low unemployment rate of currently only around 3% obviously has a direct influence on wage levels. In recent years, employees' salaries have grown significantly. This is especially the case for industries such as manufacturing and services. And the shortage does not only apply to management and expert ranks - hiring a waitress or a cook for example has become almost impossible. Futhermore, there is also a lack of workers in horticulture, forestry and agriculture. Hospitals constantly lack nurses and nursing staff so that non-accute operations have to be postponed for weeks and months.
Subsequently, aspects such as the age and past experience of candidates become way less important which is especially beneficial for older applicants and career changers. Companies also offer employees additional flexibility in order to become more attractive - part-time work and home-office solutions have become the new standard. New approaches like this ease the problem but do not solve it. Even with such benefits, companies across the board are not able to balance supply and demand when it comes to their employment needs.
Since in both the Czech and Slovak Republics there are no strong birth years in sight, filling job vacancies will continue to be difficult for years to come. As a consequence, the role of Executive Search has and will become even more important for companies in both countries in order to find the people they need.
With more than 20 years of experience in covering the Czech and Slovak markets out of our office in Prague, Kienbaum helps companies all over the region to meet their demand for executives and top-management profiles in order to keep their businesses running. But that is not all – with additional offices in Warsaw and Budapest, Kienbaum is your ideal partner for the entire CEE & CIS region. Therefore, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us today and talk to one of our experienced consultants. We are more than happy to assess your individual situation and provide you with tailor-made solutions for the challenges you might face.

Benny's Seafood Restaurant
We are going on quite the tour of "The Best Thing I Ever Ate" locations in the major US cities!! It just happens that we have plans to visit LA, NY, Miami, etc. and we go to the places that caught our attention on the show.
Guy Fieri visited Benny's Seafood on his show "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" and also mentioned the below dish on "The Best Thing I Ever Ate" as the best fried food.
We went for lunch and grabbed a couple appetizers. We went for a pizza empanadas and corn sticks. What are corn sticks, you ask? They tasted just like the "corn" in corn dog and had a ketchup-y, garlicky dipping sauce. It was pretty yum but probably no nutritional value whatsoever.
Ever since Boyfriend heard Guy describe mofongo, he was dying to go. It's a plantain based dish that's usually mashed together with garlic, broth and pork rinds. We got ours with chicken on top. I'm actually not a fan of plantains and was not excited about this stop at all. It worked out in my favor though, because the restaurants after this one only got better and better! ; )
The mofongo was pretty dry so we had to mix the broth in to help wash it down. I was definitely ready for the next meal when we were through with this place…

The mofongo wasn't as good as I thought it would be. I was expecting more of the flavor from the pork rinds. Instead it was mostly only plantains and garlic. We got ours with the fried chicken. Maybe we should have tried the fried pork, the chicken was bone-in making it a little trickier to eat. The corn sticks were definitely the high point of this meal and the pizza empanada was probably second place. Not the most auspicious start to our food tour. It only had 2 1/2 stars on Yelp, so I guess that was a good hint of what to expect.

Hello everyone.
I have a strange problem that I've never seen before, and I'm hoping it's an easy fix that someone can provide. I've poked around and can't find anyone else with the same questions.
I have a very detailed polygon layer detailing the soil types of a massive area (half of Ontario). The resolution is quite good, although it does take some time to generate. What is frustrating is that, after moving the file around, or zooming in, etc. The file is created in high definition, BUT THEN REVERTS BACK TO A HEAVILY PIXELATED FORMAT. I'm assuming this has something to do with the Raster Data, but not having worked with anything like this before I'm very uncertain. I've tried going into the Layer Properties>Display and changing the "Resample during display using:" section, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Any help is appreciated. See the pictures below to see how its initially drawn and what it looks like moments after.

Mattel and Dash Robotics today appear a new line of educational toys in the form of insect-like robot origami kits. After blockage out two of the bots, called Kamigami, I'd acclaim them to any parent with a analytical kid who's into science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).
Mattel and Dash Robotics today appear a new line of educational toys in the form of insect-like robot origami kits. After blockage out two of the bots, called Kamigami, I'd acclaim them to any parent with a analytical kid who's into science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).
The aggregation behind Kamigami wanted to create article that drew its afflatus from the age-old Japanese art of origami while at the same time amalgam modern technology like robotics and Bluetooth connectivity.
It takes about 30 account to fold calm your robot, each of which is held calm by little artificial rivets that easily snap into place. It requires no tools or engineering know-how. The acquaintance is all-together less circuitous than most Lego projects in the same age range — eight-years-old and up — but feels just as rewarding.
Everything about Kamigami feels solid and well-made. It's also very modern, when I first opened the box I was abashed to find quick start instructions that basically acicular me appear the app store on my smartphone. It took abnormal to affix my phone to my amiss robot and then annexation through a series of images which directed my architecture efforts completed the experience.
These little robots are anon attainable and the app is aboveboard and simple. You can go from disturbing the box open to making two of them battle each other in less than an hour and there's enough fun on the apparent to keep most people entertained for days.
There's so much more to Kamigami than just snapping calm a robot and arena with it like a remote ascendancy toy though. The Kamigami accompaniment app allows you to use a simple action-based timeline to give a series of commands to your robot, in aspect teaching you about coding while you create routines for you bug to pull off.
The real fun begins when you have more than one Kamigami, they're advised to play and battle with each other. Arena freeze tag with robot bugs is a blast, and watching them try to sumo-fight is pretty funny – they weigh less than my smartphone.
Kamigami are failing and have decidedly few parts, but they're robust and better suited to my anarchic home ambiance than most robots. The six-legged scrabblers cross tile, carpet, and grass with about ease and they're faster than they look.
I enjoyed aggregate about Kamigami and love how much these robots animate the development of STEM skills. These little bug-bots are proof that educational toys can be a blast to play with.
Dash Robotics and Mattel will absolution Kamigami today, with a price tag of $49.99. Accessory "shell packs," which change the actualization of the robots, will also be accessible at launch for $9.99. You can get yours here, and at other retailers including Target and Walmart.

Greetings readers.
Hope you are all having a wonderful week so far.
Last week I was invited by the wonderful people of SOCAPSA to give a talk
at their conference in Johannesburg on Twitter 101. The Conference had a wonderful
Social Media theme and I came back with some wonderful idea's and have met some
amazing people.
Along the way listening to all the speakers I came across some amazing tips
for speakers that I thought I would share with my dear readers so here they
are just for you:
1. Being funny helps
As I watched the various speakers I became aware that if you add a bit of humour it helps
and people love it when bits of your talk are funny. They laugh and at the same time
they learn about your topic and at the end of it come away with a smile on their face.
2. Have your contact details on the first slide
Now this I noticed from @staffordmasie a wonderful speaker. Put your Twitter
username on the first slide of your talk and leave it there for awhile.
A wonderful tool to create awareness of who you are and where people
can find you.
3. Contact details
At the end of your talk leave up a slide of your contact details and where people
can find you and get hold of you. Give as much as you can so people have
a variety of options.
4. The magic of weaving
When I listened to Clem Sunter I noticed he is a past master at this.
Find a way during your talk to weave into your talk all the types of services
you do and where you have recently spoken, what workshops you have just done
and where you are going after this.
5. Show people what you do
Some of the wonderful speakers also showed people what they do and the
services they provide. They also showed who their clients are and what they
do for those clients.
It is also polite to thank your hosts when you start and the speakers before you.
Hope that helps you out in your speaking career dear reader.

As usual at the Will Eisner Awards, there was intense competition in the "Best Archival Comic Strip Collection" category; in fact, we were even competing against ourselves—both Bob Montana's Archie and Cliff Sterrett's Polly and Her Pals earned nominations. As you can tell by the above cover, Archie took home the honors. It's the third win in four years for the Library of American Comics, and we appreciate the continued support from you, our loyal readers.
With the busy San Diego Comicon over, it's back to our drawing boards and computers. Deadlines loom ahead!

If you're a beautician, cosmetician, hair artist, etc., then you know that beauty school simply gets a bad rap.
Dozens of individuals make their lifelong careers off the skills that you can learn in beauty school, and yet people still patronize it as just 'cutting hair'.
Like other beauty schools around the nation, the beauty school scottsdale proves just how useful beauty school can be, for learning so much more than just how to cut and style.
Communication skills
If you ever want to talk to someone, your cosmetologist might just be the best person to talk to. This is because cosmetologists need to know how to communicate even when the client can't.
They must use active listening skills to be able to interpret what the client wants, even when he/she has trouble explaining what they need to say.
Not to mention, your cosmetologist has to work extremely close to you for a short period of time. They need to be strong communicators while they interact with each client respectfully and naturally.
Truthfully, beauty and health might as well be synonymous. Good health often comes from establishing healthy routines on the outside, including your skin/ makeup routine.
Especially considering your skin is the largest organ in your body, and the first defense in keeping the body healthy, cosmetologists learn a lot about healthcare for healthy skin in beauty school.
Entrepreneurial skills
A successful cosmetologist knows that life after beauty school is a fish eat fish world. Beauticians have to advertise themselves, rent their own spaces, and do business with salon owners as much as they do their own clients.
People skills
If you've ever applied to a job that requires you to be people-oriented, then you know exactly what having people skills means; and those who go to beauty school have plenty of it. Interacting with a wide variety of clients on a daily basis gives cosmetologists the ability to work with just about anyone.

- Languages
- Punjabi
The Persian-Punjabi translation agency
Persian, which includes Farsi and Dari, is often spoken in regions in which Punjabi is spoken so there is a very good chance that you will need documents translated from one language into the other. This is where our translation agency can be of assistance.
Our translators
Our extensive network means that there is always a translator who is a native speaker of the target language. Another way in which our translators distinguish themselves is that most of them specialise in a particular subject. We can allocate translators who have an affinity with technical documents, for instance, but we also have access to translators who specialise in commercial or legal documents. For every area of expertise, we can find a translator who has immersed themselves in it.
Feel free to ask questions
You can easily request a quotation by sending us the quotation form on our website or by emailing the document to be translated. We will then send you a quotation, with no obligation. If you have any questions or need more information, have a look around on our website or get in touch with one of our project managers. We will be happy to help you.

Numbers 21:16-30
King James Version
16 And from thence they went to Beer: that is the well whereof the Lord spake unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
17 Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:
18 The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people digged it, by the direction of the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah:
19 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
20 And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon.
21 And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
22 Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink of the waters of the well: but we will go along by the king's high way, until we be past thy borders.
23 And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
24 And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon: for the border of the children of Ammon was strong.
25 And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages thereof.
26 For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even unto Arnon.
27 Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared:
28 For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon: it hath consumed ar of Moab, and the lords of the high places of Arnon.
29 Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: he hath given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king of the Amorites.
30 We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and we have laid them waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba.Read full chapter

What is the first thing that anyone surfing the Internet does, when he or she is asked to furnish some information or advice or data? Well, it's a no-brainer. They pull the information from one of the popular search engines. They key in words and then sift through the searched Web pages to select those that are of interest or relevance to them as they try to pull out information. My research has revealed that most of any user's search keywords are limited to his current personal and professional life. In other words, most users have a finite (and repetitive) set of keywords that they use to pull content from the vast Internet.
With this finding comes the thought that instead of pulling content from the Internet using search engines, we should have a mechanism to pull this finite (and repetitive) content from the Internet, sort it by recency, frequency, time windows or relevancy (RFTR) and have it pushed to us – either to our email inboxes or to our mobile phones as SMS. This would not only make our handheld gadgets more intelligent but also bring a paradigm shift in the search engine world: a combination of search engine functionality, text mining and text analytics facilitates the concept behind offline personal content push engines.
Current Search Engine Technology
Today, existing search engines help us pull content from the Web using a set of keywords which the user provides. It does this mostly through the information retrieval route, using pattern matching and querying, and to some extent, using basic semantics to provide us with some additional relevant information. This works fine for millions of users, and there is no questioning this fact.
Overview of Information Retrieval, Text Analytics and Knowledge Discovery
Information retrieval is the process of taking a set of keywords and finding the relevant pattern matches in the vast body of content that is available in various forms (such as blogs, forums, Twitter, Facebook, news sites, etc.) on the Internet. These pattern matches are also aided with additional information like the time period of relevance.
Text analytics is the process of analyzing relevant content that has been fetched from the information retrieval process. This analysis involves finding parts of the text with the most significance to the user-provided search keywords. It also involves other aspects, such as determining the opinions and/or sentiments within the relevant content and finding the affinity or context sensitivity of the content to user-provided search keywords.
The most distilled form of text analytics involves analyzing the relevant content to discover the intelligence from these information sets. This is also called knowledge discovery.
Offline Personal Content Push Components
Instead of sitting in front of the browser and typing in relevant keywords to pull out content, it is possible to create a profile and use this to automatically extract content and then push it to our mobile phones (in the form of SMS) or to our email boxes. This goal is aided by text mining and text analytics technologies to ensure that only the content that is recent, most frequent, most relevant or within a particular time window is pushed to our mobile device or email.
Figure 1 is a basic architecture for this type of offline content push technology. The primary components are:
- Personal profiler. This is the configurable arm of the offline content push technology. Here the user defines his current search preferences based on RFTR. A single user can create multiple profiles and can define any combination of search keywords, in any business area or domain and ideally in any language.
- Information retrieval engine. This is a simple Web crawler or search engine API that will use the information in the profiler as keywords and then search the Web for the relevant content based on the search preferences configured in the profiler.
- Landing database. This is the database in which the content fetched by the IR engine will be initially stored.
- Text analytics engine. This mines the data in the landing database to identify only those parts of the content which are of relevance to the user, based on the search configuration details provided in the personal profiler. This stage involves the standard text mining activities like text clustering, text classification and categorization, affinity analysis, sentiment analysis and opinion analysis.
- Distilled database. This will contain the personal profile-specific content that was distilled by the text analytics engine. The data can be stored in multiple forms, such as recent content, most frequent content, content falling in a particular time-window or most relevant content.
- Simple message builder. This is a process where, based on the data in the distilled database, highly concentrated and relevant content is chosen and built into simple messages. Semantic technologies are used to extract knowledge out of the chosen content. This knowledge and a chosen set of distilled content are used to build these simple messages, which could be a one-line eye-catching title or a five-line abstract, with or without reference to the underlying detailed content.
- Message alerter. This is a simple process that takes the messages built by the message builder and sends them to the user whose personal profile was used to generate these messages. These messages can be sent to the user either in the form of SMS or emails. The user communication information and preferences are part of the personal profiler.
Flexibility of the Personalized Content Push Engine Mechanism
The above architecture for an offline personal content push engine provides enough scope for automation for a personal content push mechanism through Web services. The underlying technologies can also be flexible – using open source technologies, industry standard products or through closed-architecture stacks.
Once this mechanism of generating personalized alerts using search engine and text analytics technologies is implemented, there will be a more intelligent and efficient use of the information that is available on the Web by even the regular users of the Internet and search engines. People will be better empowered with the situations in their personal world, which could include their investments, friends, relatives, assets, health advices, shopping advices/alerts, office situations, competitor situations, politics, sports and more.
This brings smarter surfers to the world of Internet and browsing – freeing the user from having to sit in front of the browser to pull his or her relevant content.
Inverse Advertising Using the Push Content Mechanism
Advertising is all about eyeballs. When thousands of users view a particular website or a webpage on that website, advertising dollars are flowing into that particular website.
But with the personalized content push mechanism, it is possible to divide these advertising dollars among the users of Web content. This is the concept of inverse advertising, where a mechanism can be created to enable each user to view the content that is of current relevance to him or her, to be paid for with some form of currency.
While browsing the Internet is not only a pastime but also a serious activity at times, it is still subject to an individual's patience, perseverance and knowledge of the concept that he or she is searching. All this means endless hours spent sitting in front of the browser to retrieve a small but relevant piece of information.
The push will ensure that the user is always connected to his or her relevant content, whether he or she is sitting in front of the browser or not – thus taking the world of surfing into an offline and personal mode.
Wherever you go – your relevant content follows. Welcome to the world of content push engines.

US Open Juniors 2011 – Main Draw
September 4, 2011 Leave a comment
The three junior Grand Slam winners are all present in the boys' draw for the last major of the year including home favourite Bjorn Fratengelo.
The French Open winner is one of sixteen players representing the States in the 64-strong field as they look to match Jack Sock's victory at last year's event. Australian Open champion and world number one Jiri Vesely along with Wimbledon-winning Aussie Luke Saville will be out to stop that happening.
Seeing as she's already a top 150 established player on the WTA Tour thanks partly to a second round appearance in the women's draw at her home tournament Roland Garros, unsurprisingly, Caroline Garcia is ranked the number one seed in the girls' draw.
She's joined by this year's Wimbledon finalist Irina Khromacheva and winner Ashleigh Barty while Daria Gavrilova is out to defend her title.
Madison Keys, who made the second round of the US Open women's draw this week, and Jessica Pegula offer the best chances of an American taking the junior title for the girls.
For many it will be the last time they compete in a Grand Slam junior event so they will be out to impress. The draws in full are:

Free revive on every run!
— Description
The Boom Boost is a feature for Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom. When used, it grants several in-game bonuses.
The Boom Boost is capable of shortening the cooldown times between free Sprite boxes, allowing the player to hold up to six tickets, and giving the player a free revive every run.
When winning a Boom Boost from a Prize (mostly obtained via Missions or Events), the player gets an hour added to its total duration time. The first Boom Boost will last one hour; after the player uses it up and then collects another one, it will last two hours; the next will last three hours etc. If the player does not let the Boom Boost run out, the next one will only add an hour to the total time the current Boom Boost is supposed to last.
A duration of a Boom Boost for a week can be purchased for $1.99. Doing so also disables most in-game ads (other than those offered to gain an additional free revive during each run).

Join Together to Improve the E-mail Trust Factor
In many ways, the nearly 10-year-old spam debate in this country has mirrored the great national political debate, with highly polarized sides, many ups and downs, and glimmers of productive industry cooperation here and there.
If you look back at the past eight years in this country, you can rightfully wonder whether we've made any progress and are on the right track.
The election in November presents a thematically opportune moment to reflect on the spam debate -- past, present and future. Progress has been slow and difficult. The majority of e-mail hitting ISPs' networks is still junk. Consumers still report missing e-mails they signed up for when overzealous spam filters take over.
With the e-mail world at a crossroads, if the societal microcosm of e-mail senders and ISPs engage in a spirit of unity and implement changes to the system, we can make the inbox a better place and even expand its relevance by introducing inspiring new possibilities. But e-mail needs to better gain the masses' trust first.
Sights too low
Despite e-mail's apparent effectiveness, marketers spent only $1.2 billion on the channel last year, according to JupiterResearch. This pales in comparison to the $25.5 billion research firm IDC says marketers pumped into online advertising in the same time period.
It's a vicious cycle. Marketers aren't investing more in the channel today because of the serious trust deficit it still faces. Because ISPs don't trust whether the e-mails hitting their network perimeters are spam or phishing, they sometimes block legitimate e-mail. They also sometimes let through malicious e-mail and always hide links and images. Marketers then don't trust whether their e-mail marketing messages will be delivered, let alone be viewable and trusted. Recipients don't trust whether they're receiving all the e-mail they want to receive or whether it is legitimate when they do.
The ability for e-mail to receive bigger shares of the marketing budget has always been hindered by this cycle of distrust. Wrongful spam blocking reduces delivery rates, and, combined with image and link blocking, clickthrough and open rates also suffer.
Furthermore, the lack of rich functionality in e-mail renders the medium archaic to what marketers and publishers are used to with their Web sites, such as shopping cart functionality, rich-media banners and even online video. None of these run in the majority of e-mail programs today because of their inherent insecurity and potential to spread malicious code onto users' computers.
Basic best practices like permission, notice and list hygiene should be considered elementary by now. The debate about opt-in or opt-out is a bore.
But the time is now for senders and ISPs to accelerate their adoption of rigorous, message-level authentication and certification solutions to take e-mail to the next level, and make it a more enjoyable and productive tool for its users.
Early adopters
The earliest adopters of e-mail delivery assurance programs, for example, already benefit from being able to behave as marketers again. Knowing that their permission-based, low-complaint messages are guaranteed delivery to the inbox alleviates the time they need to spend as ISP technical standards specialists. What's more, they needn't adjust creative elements and subject lines to get past filters. It also gives them the peace of mind to focus on what they do best: devising creative marketing campaigns that recipients love and drive results.
We're closer to the ideal vision of the inbox because of the millions of domains that have taken the critical first step of authenticating their e-mails and those that are further certifying their messages.
Most of all, when we see e-mail differently we'll be able to look back with pride and say we were the pioneers that made it happen.

Medicine has its own distinctive terminology, and there are mountains of terms. If you are aspiring to pursue a successful career in the medical field, be it a chemist, physician or even a medical transcriber, it is crucial that you get accustomed to all the essential medical terms.
But hey! Let's admit it. Nobody wants to learn by heart all the terms. So instead of trudging through the medical dictionary amassed with complex medical nomenclature, we will figure a way to build them. And if we follow through this approach with utmost perseverance, who knows it may even help us figure a quicker path to memorizing them.
Medical terminology is all about concoction of rules of medical word building through use of root words, prefixes (words placed in front of another), suffixes (words added at the end) and abbreviations. Here we will explore all the anatomical, physiological, pathological terms, and also the ones associated with diagnostic tests of different systems.
Remember this! To memorize medical terms effectively, you would have to learn to analyze words by separating them into component parts. Also think about the terms associated with the structure and function of the human body, and try to relate them.
Creating words for medical language
If you want to master the language of medicine, you would need to perfect the craft of dividing words into their component parts.
Let's take the word "Hematology" for example. Hema, meaning blood, is the root, O is the combining vowel, and logy, subject of study, is the suffix. All medical terms have a suffix.
The root is where every word stems from, and all medical terms have one or more of them. O, the combining vowel, attaches the root to the suffix (the word ending), or links to another root. It has no meaning of its own; it just associates one part to the other.
Things to keep in mind:
In order to commit to memory the complex terms even better, try by reading starting from the suffix then go back to the beginning of the term and across.
Refuse the combining vowel, O, before a suffix beginning with a vowel. For example: gastr-itis, not gastr-o-itis.
Keep the combining vowel between two roots. For example: gastr-o-enterology, not gastr-enterology.
Medical terms also commonly accompany two additional parts:
- The combining form, which is the combination of root and the combining vowel, usually O.
- The prefix, which is a word placed at the beginning of the term. A prefix can greatly influence the meaning of a word. Not all terms come with a prefix.
As we discussed earlier, all medical terms have a suffix. Here are some common suffixes and their meanings.
-algia = pain, or a painful condition
-cele = hernia, or tumour
-centesis = surgical puncturing of a part of the body to extract fluid
-coccus (plural: cocci) = bacterium of spherical shape
-cyte = cell
-dynia = pain
-ectomy = surgical excision
-emia = blood condition
-genic = relating to (production or generation)
-genesis = condition of producing, or forming,
-gram = record
-graph = instrument for recording
-graphy = process of recording
-itis = inflammation
-logy = study of
-lysis = breakdown, loosening, decomposition, destruction
-malacia = softening of organ, tissue, such as bone
-megaly = enlargement
-oma = tumor, mass
-opsy = to view
-osis = condition or state, usually abnormal
-pathy = disease condition
-penia = deficiency
-plasia = development, growth, formation
-plasty = surgical repair
-ptosis = falling, prolapse (of an organ)
-rrhea = discharge, flow
-sclerosis = hardening, thickening (of tissue)
-scope = instrument for visual examination
-stasis = not changed or develop, remain the same
-stomy = opening to form a mouth
-therapy = treatment
-tomy = incision, cut into
-trophy = development, nourishment
-er = a person, one who
-ia = condition
-ist = specialist
-ole, -ule = something small, little
-um, -ium = structure, tissue
-us = structure, substance
-oid = resembling, derived from
-ac, -iac, -al, -ar, -ary, -eal, -ic, -ical, -ose, -ous, -tic = pertaining to
Below are some common medical terminology prefixes. Remember that not all medical terms have a prefix. A prefix can have an important influence on the meaning of the word.
a-, an- = no, not, without
ab- = away from
ad- = toward
ana- = up, apart
ante- = before, forward
anti- = against
auto- = self, own
bi- = two
brady- slow

contra- = against, opposite
de- = down, lack of
dia- = through, complete
dys- = bad, painful, difficult, abnormal
ec- = out, outside
endo- = in, within
epi- = upon, on, above
eu- = good, normal
ex- = out, outside
hemi- = half
hyper- = excessive, beyond
hypo- = deficient, under
in- = not

syn-, sym- = together, with
tachy- = fast
trans- = across, through
ultra- = beyond, excess.
uni- = one
Structural organization of the human body
So far, we have explored the common prefixes and suffixes used in medical terminology, and the meanings they are associated with. Now prior to setting our course straight towards sophisticated structures and functions of the human body, let's have a look at the basic architecture first – the cell
The cell is the smallest structural and functional unit of all organisms. It is present in every living structures of human anatomy. Although there are different types of cells, they all possess similar characteristics and house several similar parts.
The first part is the cell membrane. The cell membrane serves as a shield for the cell, but it also administers what goes in and out of the cell.
Next is the nucleus. The nucleus directs cell division, and regulates the function and the structure of the cell.
Then, the chromosomes. They are thread-like structures in the nucleus. Each human cell has 46 chromosomes made up of 23 pairs. And inside each chromosome, resides several thousand genes which contain a chemical called DNA. DNA provides instruction for cellular activities based on the sequence of chemical units, or bases it provides.
Then the cytoplasm. Cytoplasm is a semifluid material outside of the nucleus but contained within the cell membrane. It also plays a role in controlling cell metabolism.
Next is mitochondria. If high school has taught me anything, it is that "Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell." They are small organelles with the likeness of a digestive system which intakes nutrients in order to give energy to the cell.
The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of membranes within the cytoplasm of the cell. Here, smaller protein pieces mobilize to form large proteins.
A tissue is a collection of cells having similar structure that work together to perform a particular function. There are four types of tissue – epithelial, muscle, connective, and nerve. Different tissues combine to form an organ. Different organs combine to form systems.
Now let's come to the terminology related to the anatomical position of the body, and the directional terms that describe the regions of the body. Also terms associated with the planes of the body. The purpose of using these terms is to maximize precision and minimize medical errors.
Directional Terms
Anterior, or ventral: the front side of the body.
Posterior, or dorsal: the back side of the body.
Deep: a position away from the surface of the body.
Superficial: a position closer to, or on the surface.
Proximal: a position in a limb near the point of attachment to the trunk or near the beginning of the structure.
Distal: a position in a limb far from the point of attachment to the trunk or the beginning of the structure.
Inferior, or caudal: a position below another structure.
Superior, or cranial: a position above another structure.
Medial: relating to or situated in the middle, or near the medial point of the body.
Lateral: situated at or extending to the side of the body.
Positional Terms
Supine: lying on the back, or face up orientation.
Prone: lying on the belly, or face down orientation.
Body Planes
Frontal Plane, or Cornal Plane: The vertical planes that divides the body into anterior or posterior portions.
Sagittal Plane, or Lateral Plane: The plane that divides the body vertically into left and right sides.
Transverse Plane, or Axial Plane: The plane that divides the body horizontally into upper and lower portions.
Now that we have properly acquainted with the terms pertaining to the body as a whole, and the ones associated with the structural organization of the body, we will further venture into various different systems of the body in the next post coming up in a couple of days.

There is a reluctance on many responsible authorities to invest in mobile flood barriers (also known as temporary flood barriers); this despite mounting evidence that they can work very effectively, and the increasing risk of flooding.
It is not economic to provide new multi-million dollar levees or diversion channels for all flood risk areas, but is it right to leave these areas with nothing more than a relic of world wars, with which to defend themselves from flooding? This article considers the merits of sandbags versus the technology now available.
Let's consider first the alternative and traditional approach, the use of sandbags. These have a very low upfront cost and in some circumstances the fill material (sand or earth) may be readily available somewhere close to where they are required. If a sandbag wall is built correctly then it can perform and it can be completely removed after the event or even built into a permanent feature using additional materials for stabilising and greening.
In contrast commercially-supplied flood barriers may be expensive, have relatively short life cycles and may be prone to incremental or even catastrophic failure.
The most prevalent flood barriers are water-filled tubes. These use water as an infill material to build structure and weight to stabilise them and are therefore very cost-effective. A typical tube flood barrier will be used as flood defence up to 75% of its filled height but may become unstable beyond that level and become subject to failure through rolling, sliding and collapse.
A high-quality tube such as Rapidam Tube will include features to help stabilise the barrier and minimise the movement especially the rolling.
All tubes however maybe subject to relatively short lifespans because every time they are used they may be pressurised, and a failure may be difficult to detect until it has happened.
To mitigate this, look for a greater material weight and for high-frequency welding rather than stitches which may be subject to rot. This will also help with resistance to impacts such as a log or other floating debris.
These flood barriers are filled by the incoming flood water and use the flood water to cover an apron on the ground as the means of stabilisation, increasing friction with the ground. The ground apron is connected to the flood wall element via straps or rods to retain the floodwater on the dry side. They are typically very fast to deploy and can seal well to uneven ground. However, being made of fabric they may be prone to damage should an impact occur, albeit this is visible and normally repairable even in field.
The most likely failure to occur is sliding due to insufficient friction with the ground. This risk can be managed by increasing the apron length, increasing means of friction with the ground or by anchoring the barrier with weight or pegs or screws. These are all options in the deployment of Rapidam Flexi which was awarded a prestigious award by BBC Tomorrow's World at the start of the Millennium.
These barriers are formed of metal frames and usually also have metal panels or beams which present a 45-degree flood wall to create a self-anchoring effect through the frame. They are in themselves structurally very sound and this can be proven by engineering analysis even to the extent of their resistance to debris impact. The only significant risks are of sliding in the case of greater flood depths which could lead to a catastrophic failure if the barrier moves excessively.
The other potential failure is non-deployment because there are likely to be a much greater number of components to assemble than for tubes or flexible membranes. And in most cases, they require complete assembly before a sheet membrane is used to cover the skeleton and requiring anchoring to the ground on the flood side of the barrier. This often creates a situation where the lives of people deploying the barrier may be at risk with rising floodwater at their feet or knees.
These risks are mitigated in the design of Rapidam Rigid which has a ground apron mechanically-connected to the bottom beam of the barrier. This and the facility for anchoring through the feet, mean that sliding can be ruled out as a risk whilst the immediate seal created, means that responders can concentrate on assembling the barrier along the length to prevent outflanking.
Whilst sandbags may on the face of it appear to be a good option with the low upfront cost, the true costs may be much more:
- Plant and depot costs
- Manpower costs (for deployment)
- Transportation costs
- Clean up costs
The biggest cost of this sandbag approach is likely to be that of non-deployment or failure of the flood barrier by being outflanked or over-topped due to the speed or onset or rise of the floodwater. There may simply not be either the human or physical resources available to build a flood barrier of 100metre or mile length fast enough, yet alone in all the locations where this is required. This may see the costs of failure in the millions of dollars or even risk to lives.
These are complex issues for decision-makers but when deciding to invest or not, and when putting together a technical specification, then expertise is required. This will ensure that what is procured will provide the flexibility, durability, safety and speed of deployment required for the scenarios considered. Getting this right will see a focus on the whole-life costs versus the whole-life benefits i.e. the costs of consequential damage as a result of failure or doing nothing.
Aquobex has attempted to make this simple by bringing together the best-in-class for each flood barrier type, together with a real-time information and an early warning action system. For example, combining our virtual control room with our apex mobile flood barrier Rapidam Rigid, responders can focus on building linear length of barrier quickly and efficiently. Resource such as additional beams and the requisite manpower can be deployed elsewhere until it is confirmed that the flood defence height should be increased.
Unlike sandbags they are easy to remove without a big clean-up effort and the associated costs and they may be used countless times in their 50 year plus service life.

Is cooking a trade or an art? There is, of course, no right answer. I am not the cooking half of this enterprise and I often find myself on the art side of this debate. Like the millions of folks watching Food Network, buying foodie magazines, and filling their shelves with cookbooks I am in awe of every chefs creativity. With 10 years at Early Girl, (and many more years before EG in the food world) I know that kitchen labor takes up much more of a cook's time than recipe creation.
Anyone can learn to chop an onion, but you can't teach masterful mixing of flavors. Great cooks just know what ingredients make magic when used together. They think about what would work well together all of the time.
Recently, through the media, the restaurant world has been portrayed as quite glamorous. Restaurant work (cooking, serving, bussing, hosting & dish washing) is physically and mentally hard work. If you haven't worked in a restaurant, you should give it a try. You will be a bigger tipper after one day, I promise you! It's not for everyone. Neither is working with the public. There are tough days… but the positive, exuberant people that come in are lovely and typically show their appreciation through their tips & kind words.
Your day gets made and rewarded through affirmation from the comments we get like "This is the best sausage I have ever had in my life." This type of feedback is rewarding and makes it all worth it.
A lot of hard work goes into the sausage. The kitchen cooks up the sausage, the farmer raises the pig and the wait staff delivers the sausage, with a smile, to your table. The customers CHOOSE to spend their hard earned money with us. They are all good folks and none of the art or the trade could be enjoyed without them.
So, to answer the question, is cooking an art or a trade? I say it's a little bit of both, and you can't have a good restaurant without both art, and hard work!

"I do not say that they always ignore sexual differentiation itself, but that the significance of it escapes them entirely. And the woman who ignores that fundamental truth ironically misses the very thing she has set out to find. By refusing to fulfill the whole vocation of womanhood she settles for a caricature, a pseudo-personhood."
~Elisabeth Elliot (Let Me Be a Woman)
What does it mean to be a woman? I have spent much of my life in search of it. It once seemed that being a woman meant being a man in high heels. In response to the 1950s housewife era, we were told to do whatever a man tends to do, but be sure to attract him while doing it. Pssh.
If you can look cute while climbing the corporate ladder, being pregnant, or working out, you will be plastered on a magazine as an icon for females everywhere. Be successful and be sexy. But now, in this age of deconstruction and so-called redefining that is more akin to undefining, it seems that the search for womanhood (or manhood) is murkier than ever. We play with semantics and we play with God's plan. We pretend that the sexes were our idea, our choice. But who are we actually?
What does gender mean? What does it mean to be male; what does it mean to be female? Has our societal structure completely molded our perception of how the sexes are supposed to function on a daily basis, or is there something deeper, something more? We know that a little girl does not have to wear pink or play with dolls to be considered feminine, but then again, what does feminine mean, anyway?
Words like boyish or girly seem to draw out daggers from certain crowds. They would prefer us to completely neuter our children—that is, they would prefer us to let our children decide to act however they want with no restraints, no guidelines, other than perhaps, 'don't hurt people.'
While the overarching stance of this group makes me cringe, there is a bit of merit. Children are bound to have different gifts and preferences, and there are certain things our culture deems appropriate for one gender rather than another, and it is just not so. My husband does not enjoy sports, but he does enjoy the arts (everything from painting to ballet). He is not less of a man because of it.
Here's the thing, I want my daughter to know how to fix certain problems on her car, and I want my son to know how to help care for a baby. These are good things to know. These are people things to know. And so, with a hesitant sigh of surrender, I give the 'genderless camp' this admittance.
But ultimately, they look at the world in way that does not allow for God's plan, His plan for the family, His plan for individuals. In giving us equality, He also gave us different roles so that the family, and the world at large could run smoothly, and could be a picture of who He is to us as both our Father and Groom.
And yet, as I look around, I see womanhood, actual womanhood playing out before me—single women who serve God with grace and gusto, married women who love their husbands, supporting them with determination and wit (whether or not they primarily work outside or inside the home). There are mamas who love their children and smile through the fatigue on their faces, and widows who bear loss and learn to live again.
These women are rarely heralded as noble by anyone outside of their immediate acquaintances. But they do not live for accolades or spots on the cover of People magazine. Many of these women would, perhaps, enjoy a taste of validation, but are not completely dependent upon it.
I have not fully figured out what it means to be a woman (you can probably tell). But I do know that it should be first be based on my conviction that God made me and He made me a woman. And the more I seek Him, the more He will lead me into the freeing and beautiful realilty that is living for Him.
Elisabeth Elliot said, "The fact that I am a woman does not make me a different kind of Christian, but the fact that I am a Christian makes me a different kind of woman."
If you are a woman, discover God and then discover womanhood. If you are a man, discover God and then discover manhood. Do not settle for a pseudo personhood. Be complete.
Keep the Faith,
Audrey Ann

So I have a nice grove of silver birch trees on a slope that would be perfect to tap....I know it's about 100:1 ratio
.....but how parallel is the process? If I have the time is it worth It?
So I have a nice grove of silver birch trees on a slope that would be perfect to tap....I know it's about 100:1 ratio
.....but how parallel is the process? If I have the time is it worth It?
I have extremely limited experience with birch. Tried tapping 2 white birch and 1 yellow birch 3 years ago and spent almost nine hours boiling on my kitchen stove only to realize that either I totally missed it or it tastes like yuck. Maybe I was too late in the season
I know the process is much slower than maple.
I don't think I would do it again
12 x 16 Sugar house
2x6 Leader raised flue Oil fired
Pre heater and hoods
260 taps on vacuum (Guzzler)
We had about 300 black birch taps on vacuum a couple years ago. You definitely want an RO. We have one and it still took a long time to boil. We never really found a market for the stuff and still have some.
My understanding is we don't want to boil the Birch sap. Apparently the different sugars are likely to burn.
My thought is to convert my maple evaporator into a Birch evaporator when the mapl season is over.
I believe the modifications I will need is to adapt a tray for some firebrick to lay on directly under the pan. Therefore if the fire gets to hot, it will store into the brick and act like a crock pot.
Any thoughts?
2016- 32 taps, 3 1/2 gallons
2017- 150 taps, 13 gallons after building an evaporator
2018- goal is 240+ taps. 20+ gallons.
2018 Reality- 235 taps, 5 gallons of syrup. Average 50 birch taps and 3 gallons of syrup.
2019- 180 maple taps, 20 gallons of finished syrup.
~ 160 birch taps, 13 finished gallons of syrup.
Latitude 47.278150
I have thought about designing a pan to fit on top of my syrup pan to act as a double boiler when the lower pan is filled with water. Boiling down the raw birch sap about halfway in the rear pans before transferring it to the top pan. I've heard the lower scorching temps don't really happen until it's cooked about halfway. Using hardwood for heat instead of softwood may help keep the sap to more of a simmer than a boil. But that's just my theory, i wonder how efficient it would be. Having an RO and turning your evaporator to a giant double boiler would probably be more safe and efficient.

I had some a friend gave me that he brought back from Alaska. Did not like it at all. Had a bitter finish to it. I guess if you never tried maple syrup you may like it but it wasn't for me.

My wife was up north a few years back,bought a 250 ml bottle,paid $40.00 for it,looked like motor oil that had never been changed,smelled like burnt molasses,I wouldn't even try it,witnessed a few friends spitting it back out though
7th generation maple producer in sugarhouse built in 1892
2x World Champion Maple Syrup Producer
1250 taps on cv adapters
Leader Vortex 3x14 with Max Flue and Revolution Syrup Pan,Enhanced Steam Away
Our maple season ended early last year and I still had some ambition left, so I tapped 50 birches that are right next to one of my mainlines. I had saved some maple permeate for this purpose and concentrated it 4 times and it was still only 2.5% sugar content. I then spent 2 nights boiling it down on a gas finisher and ended up with a quart out of 50 gallons of sap. My wife hates the stuff, I think it tastes more like teriyaki than syrup. It's good as a glaze for cooking, but I'll never do it again!
I made birch syrup a few years ago, but I did a lot of reading before I did it, so I wasn't as surprised by the results as some seem to be. First, it is not pancake syrup, nor would it be good for sweetening coffee. It's okay for oatmeal or drizzled on vanilla icecream, but it is much like molasses and works in most of the same applications, like baking, BBQ sauces, meat glazes, etc. The uniqueness of birch really shines in making things like pulled pork or beef brisket, but BBQ spareribs are my favorite use for it. RO makes a big difference because you burn less of the fructose, which is the primary sugar in it, but even so, you have to approach the syrup density slowly after boiling most of the water out. But I will tell you how I learned to make it better. Add 1-4 cups of plain white table sugar per 100 gallons of sap. This makes the boil behave much better. Of course, you can't do this if you intend to market it as pure, but it will taste much better and work better in baking.
2019 -- 44 Red Maples - My home and sugarbush are for sale.
2018 -- 48 Red Maples, 7 gallons
2017 -- 84 Red Maples, 1 Sugar Maple, and 1 Silver Maple , 13 gallons
2016 -- 55 Red Maples, 8 gallons
2015 -- 15 Red Maples, 6 Birches - 3+ gallons maple syrup

MLA 2019: Postcolonial Textual Transactions and Critical Reception
In his 2001 book, The Postcolonial Exotic: Marketing the Margins, Graham Huggan contends that writers from formerly colonized societies negotiate their marginality and the "realpolitik of metropolitan economic dominance" by providing "exotic registers" and making them "palatable" for "predominantly metropolitan audiences" (viii). This non-guaranteed MLA session organized by The Africa Since 1990 forum invites submissions examining literary texts from the Global South that circulate well beyond their immediate contexts of production. To what extent is this circulation due to the exoticism that Huggan elaborates in his book? What other factors may be at work in the appreciation and appropriation of these works in new environments? How are these narratives transformed in their new contexts and what is the role of the reader, whose taste is cultivated by writers and whose interpretation shapes the texts in novel sites? What formal and thematic considerations underpin the transformations of such texts into film and other generic categories? And if entities in such interactions cannot escape "without being changed at any essential level," as Anna Gere notes in her description of the 2019 MLA Presidential Theme, how are readers transformed by their encounters with these texts in circulation? Prospective panelists should submit a 200-word abstract to Cajetan Iheka (email@example.com) by March 15, 2018 with "MLA Panel" in subject line.

Only 8 more movies left to Certify Weird! Feel free to leave your guesses on the remaining choices in the comments.
Next week, Alfred Eaker goes back to the theater to check out the impressionistic Vincent Van Gogh flick, At Eternity's Gate. In honor of the first snowfall of the season, Giles Edwards will preview the German meta-mindbender Snowflake (due out on home video in two weeks). And G. Smalley reviews the new release of Asia Argento's nutty, trashy pseduo-autobiography Scarlet Diva (2001), then takes a second pass at Luis Buñuel's swan song, That Obscure Object of Desire.
It's time once more for our weekly survey of the weirdest search terms that brought people to the site this week. Weird search terms are pouring in once more, but we're seeing more volume than bizarre quality. Weirdly conceived porn searches are always a fertile form of strange search, as we saw with "kinki bitch slap," "sexy porn william balair phone number," and "ok ru mom movie.com." Among the searches for weird movies we'd like to track down and see someday were "movie where man starts growing grass on himself" and "weird movie about a depressed person and a glowing turtle." This category is also where we saw our officially Weirdest Search Term of the Week, the disturbing "at end of the movie motorcycle bust into house and rapes lady." We've heard of vehicular assault, but this is the first case of vehicular sexual assault we've encountered.
And finally, it's time for our weekly cut n' paste disclaimer regarding the reader-suggested review queue below: since we will definitely not be getting to all of these (although we will pick out the occasional title), you can consider this a list of "honorable mentions" for your own perusal and amusement. That out of the way, here's how the ridiculously-long reader-suggested review queue now stands: Genius Party; The Idiots; "Premium" (depending on availability); Spermula; Killer Condom; Sir Henry at Rawlinson End; Moebius (1996); Adventures of Picasso; Charly: Dias de Sangre (depending on availability); Continue reading WHAT'S IN THE PIPELINE

US/New Zealand 107m, Colour
Director: Steven Spielberg; Voice Cast: Jamie Bell as Tintin, Andy Serkis, Daniel Craig, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost
The Adventures of Tintin is a superbly made 3D film based on the internationally renowned Belgian comic books of the same name. Tintin's journey begins with a model ship which he buys in the market that contains one of three clues to a sunken treasure which takes him on an extraordinary voyage to Morocco. Accompanied by his very clever dog Snowy, Tintin is assisted by Thomson and Thompson – a wonderfully inept and hilarious pair of bowler hat-wearing detectives who are simultaneously chasing after a master pickpocket. As pure escapism, The Adventures of Tintin is a near faultless combination of action, adventure and comedy with nostalgic production design combined with incredibly sophisticated animation that should capture the imagination of long time fans as well as new audiences (Klaus Ming January 2012).
