A disfigured musical genius, hidden away in the Paris Opera House, terrorizes the opera company for the unwitting benefit of a young protegee whom he trains and loves.
Product reviews...
I grew up with the music from most of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musicals as my grandfather had most of them on tape, this was before CDs, and would play them often so I know the music but for some reason have never seen the movie. I do know the story but still found that it was a bit harder to watch then I thought it would be, the saving grace was the music and the memories of listening to the music with my grandpa.
I really don't know if I would be bothered to buy this on DVD as it is more the music that interests me, it is not something the kids can watch for obvious reasons. I did enjoy finding out the full story as some of it takes place without any music so there was a bit that I hadn't seen but it is morIe the music that holds my attention.
I think the musical is well done, the actors did play their parts well although it would have been a lot better if Minnie Driver had done the singing herself. I think for me the attraction is the music and there is nothing wrong with the movie but I might get the soundtrack and be happy with that.
I watched this quite a while ago, when it came out at the theaters and when it came out on DVD I bought a copy for at home, I grew up hearing Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical and loved the music (although not that Christine) and though I have only watched this a couple of times since owning it, it is still grand to watch each time.
We start off in black and white as we have Raoul as an old man returning to the theater which is having bits and pieces sold off, as he wins a macrame musical monkey the black and white ruins quickly changes into bright, bold and vibrant colors as we see what happened to lead to the ruins it is now. Everything is loud and bold, as one would expect in such a place and there is no lack of characters going on. The only actor in this not to sing their part was Minnie Driver, but she did her part as the primadonna well.
I love the music, I always have, and Gerard Butler does a fantastic job as the Phantom, both as this terror that has people in fear of him, to this wounded soul who has never known love and yearns so much for it and one does hope that he eventually managed to find true love. The costumes are gorgeous, seriously gorgeous and I love Christine's wardrobe. The songs are wonderful and suit every moment perfectly and there were a couple of moments of singing along with it.
I love this movie, though every time I watch it my husband happily reminds me that he loves going to the stage version of this , it's one that I enjoy watching and will bring it out now and again for sure.
My husband and I were employed to act as security guards for this school being hired out for the weekend. We hired this with the notion of turning it off every 15 minutes and checking the rooms. Did that the first 15 minutes but after that could not move. I was so transfixed and involved in the movie that remembering to breath in certain scenes was hard.
I had seen Phantom of the Opera live and thought that this movie could not do it any justice but how wrong was I. A manly man I worked with at the time had seen it at the movies and was telling me how emotional it was and he even had a tear in his eye. Did not believe how this movie could possibly take my breath away but it did.
Gerard Butler is fantastic as the Phantom a man who had been disfigured during birth and resided in an opera house. There he falls in love with Christine and does everything in his power to make her the star that he knows she is.
The end 20 minutes had me so transfixed that I could not move. It is so mesmerizing and so powerful that you will forget where you are. As soon as it became available to purchase I did and have watched the last 20 or so minutes a million times. Its beautiful. Highly recommend to anyone who loves musicals - Andrew Lloyd Webber's music is so full of love and meaning and you can feel the raw emotions through his lyrics. Great acting and lovely scenery.

Welcome to the thirty-eighth episode of From Crisis to Crisis: A Superman Podcast! This podcast has a simple premise; examine just about every Superman comic published between Man of Steel #1 in 1986 to Adventures of Superman #649 in 2006 in an informative and hopefully entertaining format.
Part index. Part commentary. Part history lesson. All podcast.
Jeff and Mike are back this week to discuss the second month of the SUPERMAN IN EXILE story, which took place in the Superman books bearing the March 1989 cover date. The tales discussed this time out serve as a sequel of sorts to Adventures of Superman Annual #1, which was covered in episode 12 of this series. Superman #29 features the return of the Word Bringer and the events of that issue spill into Adventures of Superman #452. After that there's the Elsewhere in the DCU and the Elsewhere in the Real World feature followed by more of your e-mails.
During the e-mails a listener asks which episode of one of Mike's other podcasts (Views From The Longbox) was the one where Mike discusses Superman Returns. Mike promised to give out the episode number in these here notes so if you are interested in listening to that episode of Views click right here for the episode information or head on over to iTunes and search for Michael Bailey's Views of the Longbox. Fair warning; that episode was more family friendly then others but Mike would like to throw out a parental guidance is suggested just in case.
Also check out Episode 47 of Views where Mike talks with Steve Younis and Neal Bailey of this very site.
You can subscribe to the show in two ways. First there is the RSS Feed and there is also theiTunes link .
If you want to comment on the show or contact the hosts you can always private message Mike and Jeff, at the Superman Homepage, leave comments here or at the Homepage or here or email them by clicking this link. All questions, concerns, fears, trepidations and cheap shots are welcome. The guys will try to incorporate e-mails into the episodes once the show gets rolling.
Seriously, let us know what you think.

Verification of Universal Quantum Computation
Quantum Computers perform task which are intractable for classical computers. The basic question here would be, "How should one verify the result of a quantum computer? This task is known as quantum verification or verification of quantum computation. BQP is the class of problems that can be solved by a quantum computer and BPP is the class of problems that can be solved by a classical computer. BPP is contained in BQP and hence, there are problems a quantum computer would solve that are intractable for a classical computer, to put it simply. Thus, if in future, an untrusted company claims to have built a quantum computer, how can the consumer be sure of the correctness of the results when he/she (the consumer) cannot compare the results predicted by the proposed quantum computer? This problem is addressed by the functionality, 'verification of quantum computers'. Verification of universal quantum computation targets every computation that can be performed by a quantum computer.
Tags: Quantum Functionality, Universal Task, Classical Verification of Universal Quantum Computation, Verification of Sub-Universal Quantum Computation, Verification of NP-complete problems
- Single-prover prepare-and-send: Verifier can only prepare and send quantum states to delegate a BQP computation to the prover
- Quantum-authentication based verification: Protocols use schemes for authentication of quantum messages to run interactive proofs.
- Trap-based based verification: Protocol uses blind delegated quantum computation
- Verification based on repeated runs
- Single-prover receive-and-measure: Verifier can only receive and measure quantum states
- Measurement only verification: uses blind delegated quantum computation
- Post-hoc verification: Non-interactive (requires only single round of back and forth communication)
- Multi-prover entanglement-based: Verifier is completely classical and the provers are entangled
- Verification based on CHSH rigidity
- Verification based on self-testing graphs
- Post-hoc verification
- BQP is the class of problems which can be efficiently solved by quantum computers
- BPP is the class of problems which can be efficiently solved by classical computers.
- MA (Merlin-Arthur) is the class of problems whose solutions can be verified when given a proof setting called witness.
- IP (interactive-proof system) is a generalization of MA, which involves back and forth communication between a verifier (a BPP machine) and prover (has unbounded computational power).
- Protocols 1.1, 1.2 are QPIP protocols and 2.1 is an MIP protocol. QPIP and MIP are classes of decision problems and can be decided by protocols 1.1, 1.2 and 2.1, respectively.
Further Information
This problem remained unsolved for a completely classical client until Urmila Mahadev's protocol for classical verification of quantum protocols in 2018 (See Tags). The problem was formally addressed by Gottesman in 2004, and then promoted by Aaronson in 2007 |(1). Emphasized by Vazirani later in 2007 from a philosophical point of view |(2), he raised the question, 'Is quantum mechanics a falsifiable theory?'

Zingari Man
The Nomad Sego
For the well-kept wanderer, this shave soap goes where you go. Take in the scents of Sweetbay, lime and rum. This is a fresher take on the traditional bay rum. Instead of heavy spice, we kept it a bit lighter with a more forward citrus pop. This is a sexy and masculine blend.
Our tallow base is guaranteed to impress you with its elite level slickness, residual, cushion, glide, and unsurpassed post shave feel. We feel our post shave face feel is where we shine most, as we consider this a part of your skin health and the way your skin feels for the rest of your day.
DIRECTIONS: For the best wet-shave we recommend using during or after a hot shower. Wet your shaving brush and whisk it over the soap. Lather on your mug and shave with the grain. Re-lather and shave against the grain for a baby butt shave. Rinse with cold water.
Ingredients: Stearic acid, Vegetable Glycerin, Beef tallow, Shea butter, Potassium Hydroxide, Castor oil, Palm oil, Sodium Hydroxide, Fragrance, Jojoba oil, Oat bran oil, Shea butter (and) Glyceral Rosinate (and) Olive oil unsaponifiables, Coconut oil, Daikon Seed extract, Goat milk, Coconut milk, Sodium lactate
Comes in a large frosted straight sided 5oz jar
Very easy to use and slick shaving soap in a great scent. I am able to use this soap without post shave products (but seriously, who wants to do that?) and it doesn't dry me out. The Nomad scent is also a unique take on bay rum that ignores spices for a more friendly accord. Great product.
Great fresh smelling soap and its performance is equally amazing.
This has become a very used soap in my rotation. Uses a lot of water to get the soap where it needs to be which in turn provides a very slick and comfortable shave. The matching aftershave balm is great as well. Leaves your face soft and hydrated.
This base smells phenomenal and is super slick! It has quickly become my favorite daily shave soap!
I'm pretty particular about what soap bases I use, and holy heck this is good stuff! The base is really soft, so I'm still working on not overloading (but overloading is better than under-loading). It lathers on the face into a very dense, insanely slick lather. Seriously, there are a few soap bases that I think have reached the apex of what shave soap can be (of course, I'm sure I'll be proven wrong soon), and this is one of them. This is A bay rum scent, but with lime on top for a citrus kick. The lime is a really nice addition and really brightens up the scent. Behind the lime is a vaguely medicinal (in a good way) bay. Rum is listed as a note, but I do not get much (which I consider a good thing). It's a really nice scent. The lime gives the scent a real citrus pop, which brightens my mornings midway through this cold Montana winter. It would also be great in warm weather. The scent makes me think of a nice beach somewhere near the ocean and puts a smile on my face.

I'm a big foodie at heart and even though I've always known about Philadelphia's Restaurant Week, I honestly have never participated (Shocking, I know.) Well this year, I'm getting serious! The dates are as follows: January 20 to January 25 and January 27 to February 1st. I already scouted 3 locations I would love to try out and at $35 for a 3-course dinner ($20 for a 3 course lunch), it's kind of a no brainer. Here's my 3 picks in no particular order:
- Devon Seafood Grill (devonseafood.com)
- First course: Lobster Bisque - four words: cream, sherry, tomato, lobster
- Second course: Jumbo crab cakes with creole remoulade, mango tartar sauce, whipped yukon gold potatoes and grilled asparagus
- Third course: Vanilla Bean Creme Brulee
- Fuji Mountain Japanese Restaurant (2030 Chestnut St.) <--- Instead of getting 3 courses, you get 5!
- Seafood Miso Soup
- Seaweed Salad
- Dynamite Wontons
- Fuji Premium Sushi Set
- Green Tea Ice Cream
- Amuse at Le Meridien Hotel (1421 Arch St.)
- Butter Lettuce with New England apples, house lardons, pomegranate arils and buttermilk dressings

US: Inflationary pressures are highly unlikely
As a response to the Covid-19 outbreak, the United States unveiled a $2 trillion package in March – the largest of its kind. Aside from the expansion of debt, potential inflation has been a cause for concern. But several factors ensure that broad inflationary pressures will almost certainly be absent during the lockdown, and, likely, in the immediate period after.

These past few weeks of sheltering at home I've felt the same sort of isolation that so many others have. I'm fortunate to be sequestered with a family I love and pets who keep things interesting. I'm in a neighborhood green with spring and the summer sun seems to be poised to make an appearance after the rainy cool weather than helps grass grow, but even so the reality of not being able to see friends and family, do the normal things (like take my son to the comic book store or eat falafel at our local kabobery) is disconcerting at best. That said, from time to time throughout this quarantine kind messages have found me from friends, art has sparked joy, and the powerful caring of my school's artistic community has reminded me that hope is always just around the corner.
For anyone needing a bit of a boost today, I want to share three of those instances that brought me a bit of comfort and a smile to my face.
The first came by way of an email bcc'd me by a site administrator at my previous school. He reaches out to the departments he oversees every week (and sometimes shares those emails with me) and his messages of hope are always inspiring. I was pleasantly surprised to be quoted in this recent message, and then knocked off my feet by the video he shared of a poem that I didn't know.
Good Morning, Folks:
Our former principal Bjorn Paige, himself a former English teacher, used to joke with me at the start of each school year by quoting Where the Wild Things Are. "Let the wild rumpus start!" he would say, as the first bell rang and the school year commenced. I bring this up because this past week, and the changes and challenges we have faced, felt just like that: a wild rumpus. While concerning, time-consuming, and a host of other adjectives, the week is over and the wild rumpus will go silent… at least until next Monday.
I hope this email finds you well… or as well as can be. Again, I turned to poetry this week with a poem I first encountered last night during my normal 2:00 am anxiety attack. I logged on to Twitter to find Andrew Scott, otherwise known as "Hot Priest" reading "Everything is Going To Be Alright" by Irish poet Derek Mahon. I must have listened to him read the poem three or four times and then read it four of five times more before I fell back asleep. I read it again this morning. It is moving. I share it because I share the sentiment. And Andrew Scott's reading of the poem is fantastic. The text of the poem is below. Everything is going to be all right. I swear.
Everything Is Going to Be All Right
How should I not be glad to contemplate
the clouds clearing beyond the dormer window
and a high tide reflected on the ceiling?
There will be dying, there will be dying,
but there is no need to go into that.
The poems flow from the hand unbidden
and the hidden source is the watchful heart.
The sun rises in spite of everything
and the far cities are beautiful and bright.
I lie here in a riot of sunlight
watching the day break and the clouds flying.
Everything is going to be all right.
― Derek Mahon, Collected Poems
I miss you all. I hope you are well. I hope you are finding peace. Hang in there– we have just a few weeks left… and then the wild rumpus will go silent. For now.
I am here if you need anything. You will always find it here.
This is an administrator who cares deeply, is willing to be vulnerable, and has a poetic spirit that can elevate those around him. I didn't know the Mahon poem until I read his email, but am richer now for having read it, and even more for having Andrew Scott (that marvelous Moriarty) perform it.
Another flavor of performance that I've found myself turning to in this time of COVID-19 is music, and I realized when I was driving to the store this week that I've had one CD blaring in my car a lot lately: Swagger by the Irish band Flogging Molly. Admittedly, I like my rock and roll a bit more punk than pop, and song after song Swagger feels like the right balm on the wound that is Coronavirus.
That said, it was a quieter Flogging Molly that I happened upon a few weeks ago, Dave and Bridget, two married members of the band, who are doing fireside sessions, two songs per week, from their home in County Wexford, Ireland.
Intimate, unplugged, and inspiring, these weekly reminders of the power of art have been something to look forward to. To hear a fiddle, pipe, and guitar played by two talented musicians, drinks on the table in front of them, fire in the hearth behind, is a reprieve from a world crazier than any of us could have expected.
A little closer to home, and maybe a bit less Irish, a couple of weeks ago the staff at my little art school banded together (remotely) to put on a show for our students. Teachers, counselors, and classified staff sent in performances and messages for the kids, and we packaged it all under the title ACORN (Arts & Communication Online Revue Night). Just about every week we've tried to do some kind of all school activity, a scavenger hunt (for items in their houses), a Kahoot (about ACMA history and trivia), an open mic night for the students, and it felt right to have the adults in our students' lives pick up the mic and perform.
And perform they did: a math teacher who has been learning accordion over the quarantine, a science poem, a counselor with a tutorial on how to sew masks, some songs, juggling, photography, and a bit of performance art masquerading as a long story about pink ping pong balls. Along the way the heartfelt messages of love from everyone were reassuring, inspiring, and just what many of our students needed.
One of the happiest surprises during ACORN was a host of incoming students, who have yet to step foot on our campus, who joined us for the live viewing of the show. We know how disconcerting it can feel moving to a new school in the fall, particularly when what that fall will look like is still uncertain, but I like to believe that our playful ACORN gave these new to ACMA students a sense of who we are and some reassurance that coming to a new school will be okay (thanks in no small part to the awesome kindness of some of the comments from established ACMA students in the Zoom chat room). The incoming students even got to see that they're not alone in their love of Gravity Falls, anime, or cosplay. As one of our juniors said in the chat: "We're all a little weird here. Welcome!"
Art can spark joy. Homegrown or from Ireland, creativity can and does make a difference. It invites us, in the face of tragedy and stress, to contemplate "the clouds clearing beyond the dormer window / and a high tide reflected on the ceiling," and even what might happen if we "ever leave this world alive." Making art makes an even bigger impact, and as we allow our own creativity to be inspired (from an acorn grows an oak tree) we might even find that that joy is already within us.
I'm thankful for artists like Flogging Molly, Andrew Scott, and Derek Mahon, and to my friend Bobby for sharing his inspiration with me. I'm grateful for the creative spirits I get to work with, and to the art and kindness they share with our students, even across the miles during this time of sheltering at home.
At some point we'll be back on campus preparing for the wild rumpus of school. Until then, inspired by art and by friends, I know in my heart that "everything will be all right."

GREEN DEALS: Solar sunset?
Moves from Campbell Newman raise more questions for the Solar Dawn project, while Dyesol successfully completes a capital raising and may have more good news on the way.
Solar Flagships hasn't quite shown its potential to be the glittering success the federal government had envisaged, with another setback this week, this time for the Solar Dawn project in Queensland.
Solar Dawn, run by Areva Solar and Wind Prospect CWP, is finding the new Queensland government isn't like the old. Premier Campbell Newman is currently exploring the state's legal options to extract itself from a $75 million funding commitment for the project. If he does so it, in itself, wouldn't be the end of the world for the project, although it would create a significant funding hole. Comments from federal energy minister Martin Ferguson however – suggesting such a move by Newman would force the federal government to "reconsider its… position" – would no doubt be causing some concern.
The Solar Dawn consortium told Climate Spectator that as of yesterday morning, when news of the potential funding cut was 'hot of the presses', it had not been contacted by Newman or a representative of his office regarding the plan.
Newman's view is the $1.5 billion Solar Flagships program is a federal policy so should be paid for with federal funds. A conditional contract for $75 million has already been signed by the former Bligh government, so it is just a matter of how it is worded as to whether he will be able to extricate the state from such a commitment. For what it's worth, Newman says the $275 million worth of green initiatives he is seeking to cancel (including the Solar Dawn funding) would not take place if the federal government repealed the carbon price legislation. Of course, a retreat from carbon pricing by Julia Gillard is about as likely as her appointing Kevin Rudd to the role of deputy prime minister.
With the other round one winner of Solar Flagships backing, the Moree Solar Farm, having to go through the tender process once again and Solar Dawn meeting resistance in its home state plus requiring an extension on its original financing timeline (to June 30), progress is not what the federal government had hoped. In a year's time we might look back and say it was a blip on an exciting journey, but right now the whole Solar Flagships program is looking shaky.
Solar group Dyesol has completed a capital raising of $5 million to shareholders and institutional investors. The share purchase plan raised $3.9 million, while a further $1.1 million was snapped up by institutional investors at 18 cents per share. The company, which had planned a minimum $3 million raising which could have extended to as much as $6 million, last traded at 20 cents per share.
While a $5 million raising is hardly noteworthy on the ASX, Dyesol's ability to operate as a going concern was questioned by its auditors at the beginning of this month (and not for the first time) – meaning $5 million is worth plenty. Further, the company indicated in yesterday's announcement that significant developments could be just weeks away.
"The company … looks forward to reporting exciting developments in our world-class partner projects in the coming weeks and months." Dyesol chairman Richard Caldwell said.
Dyesol has an impressive concept (Dye Solar Cell technology), but as the share price indicates, commercialisation isn't coming easy. With funding now secured for at least another few months (it has been leaking around $3 million every quarter), some positive developments to get the share price ticking will be crucial before the next time comes to tap the market. All par for the course for an ASX-listed company trying to get new technology up in a challenging market.
Low Carbon Australia, FlexiGroup
The federal government-backed Low Carbon Australia and the ASX-listed FlexiGroup have announced a new initiative to provide as much as $100,000 in financing to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) for energy efficiency upgrades.
The partnership's 'Energy Smart Finance' program will allow businesses to upgrade to the latest energy efficient technology through lease financing for projects between $3,000 and $100,000.
"Our accredited vendor partners supply a range of green technology assets, from LED lighting to heating and cooling, which will allow businesses to introduce efficiency measures without capital outlay or putting a strain on cash flow," FlexiGroup Managing Director and CEO, John DeLano, said.
The program will allow companies to undertake energy efficiency upgrades on lighting, heating, air-conditioning, refrigeration, boilers and monitoring systems, among other options.
FlexiGroup said it was confident the program would be well received given the rising power costs confronting businesses, a problem that forecasts suggest is only going to get worse.

Report: Naloxone deployed more than 1,200 times in Knox Co. last year
More than 1,200 people in Knox County received Naloxone in Knox County last year, according to a report issued by the Metro Drug Coalition on Thursday.
To better understand the depth of the opioid crisis in East Tennessee, the Knox County Health Department teamed up with the Metro Drug Coalition to gather information on Naloxone deployments from first responders in Knox County between October 1, 2016 to September 30, 2017.
More first responders in Knox County are both carrying and administering Naloxone to suspected overdose victims, according to officials. Emergency medical responders have carried the overdose reversal drug for nearly 30 years, while other agencies like the Knoxville Police Department started carrying it in recent months.
AMR Rural/Metro EMS and Fire, the Knoxville Fire Department and the Knoxville Police Department's reports of Naloxone administering incidents contributed to the data presented Thursday.
Research found that three or more individuals received Naloxone every day in Knox County, on average.
The number of individuals receiving naloxone nearly doubled between October, 2016, and January, 2017. Of the 1,268 individuals requiring Naloxone, 93 received the medication on at least two separate occasions during the 12-month time frame.
"To some, this may seem like numbers on a page, but these numbers represent lives, sons, daughters, brothers and sisters in crisis," Metro Drug Coalition's Karen Pershing reflected at the report's unveiling.
The report revealed that white men ages 25-39 were administered the most Naloxone during the time frame. The study noted that 10 percent of individuals receiving Naloxone are black, while two percent are of other races not provided by responders.
76% of Naloxone deployments were conducted by AMR Rural/Metro. The dosage of the overdose reversal drug was also discussed in the report. KPD administers a standard 2.0 mg dose of Naloxone in the nasal spray form to people overdosing. KFD and AMR Rural/Metro have the ability to adjust the medication from 0.4 mg up to 2.0 mg as needed. More than 100 people required a dose greater than 2.0 mg, according to records from responders.
The report also touched on the areas in Knox County with the highest Naloxone deployment numbers.
First responders noticed that Naloxone was most frequently deployed in the 37920, 37917, 37921, and 37918 zip codes. When checking the address where Naloxone was deployed, the majority of cases involved one person.
Naloxone, also known as Narcan, can be administered by first responders when a patient appears to be overdosing on opioids.
Doses of Naloxone provide partial or complete reversal of an opioid overdose.
The medication typically works within five minutes depending on the amount and type of opioid a person has taken. Naloxone only lasts 30 - 90 minutes, and officials say symptoms of overdose has the potential to return after the medication wears off.
The Knox County Health Department said not every individual receiving Naloxone struggles with addiction. Medical professionals mentioned that people who take a prescribed medication for the first time experiencing respiratory distress, children who accidentally take adult medications, and elderly people who unintentionally take more than the prescribed dose could be at risk.
Health officials described the symptoms a person may experience when overdosing on opioids:
• Loss of consciousness
• Slow or shallow breathing
• Vomiting
• Pale or clammy face
• Lips and skin may turn blue
• Pulse may be slow, erratic, or not there at all
According to the Tennessee Department of Health, 1,186 of the 1,631 overdose deaths in 2016 were from opioids.
In 2015, the state had 13,034 nonfatal overdose outpatient visits and 7,092 nonfatal overdose inpatient stays.
7,636,112 painkillers were prescribed in Tennessee in 2016.
The East Tennessee region had 240 drug overdose deaths reported in 2016. 149 out of the 240 deaths were associated with opioid overdoses.
Having a problem with addiction? The Tennessee REDLINE (1-800-889-9789) is a 24-hour toll-free information and referral line funded by the Tennessee Department of Mental Health Substance Abuse Services. The phone line puts callers in touch with professionals who can provide a diagnosis, prognosis, or mental health assessment.
The Metro Drug Coalition also has resources available to health care professionals, parents, teens, businesses and educators. Find resources

With many companies pushed to adopt a remote working culture, virtual meetings have become even more commonplace, with employees using them to connect professionally and even socially. However, even when virtual meetings are a normal part of a team's everyday workflow, making them efficient and productive can be challenging.
As a global business, Elsevier has been supporting its employees with remote communication and working since before the pandemic. Here are some dos and don'ts for making virtual meetings run smoothly.
"The biggest mistake people make is assuming that influencing when you are meeting face to face is the same as influencing when you are interacting virtually. It's not. The rules are different because people respond differently when they are interacting virtually." — Lee E. Miller, influencing trainer and author of UP: Influence, Power and the U Perspective: The Art of Getting What You Want.
Pre-meeting preparation
1. Create a virtual agenda.
You wouldn't go to a face-to-face meeting without an agenda, so why would you do that for a virtual meeting? Whether in-person or virtual, meetings need a purpose, and a clear purpose for each attendee is the quickest way to enable team engagement.
Create a clear meeting agenda, and share it in advance with all those who will attend. Make it clear that the agenda is flexible, and if there are further points that others would like to discuss, they can add these and re-share the agenda with all attendees. This will provide an open and collaborative environment where participants feel that their input is valued.
2. Come prepared with information and feedback.
Where you or your colleagues have added items to the virtual agenda that involve yourself or your team, ensure you have all the necessary information and feedback to share with your fellow attendees.
While you'll sometimes get unanticipated questions, preparing as much as you can beforehand will help you be more involved in the discussion and more confident.
"I usually pick a convenient time for all the participants, especially if it includes participants from different locations. I also encourage them to log in at least 3 to 5 minutes before the start time to ensure we have stable and uninterrupted audio and video connectivity." - Deepthi Unni, Publishing Services Manager, Elsevier
3. Comb your hair and turn on your webcam.
Do you need to see reactions as you share new information or introduce a new initiative or product? Do you need everyone to watch a presentation or demo in real time? Then you will all benefit from an online meeting tool that has both video and audio functionality at the very least. Research shows that 55 percent of communication is body language, while another 38 percent is tone of voice; both are necessary to create a communal atmosphere during a virtual meeting.
When everyone is separated by distance, the next best thing to being physically present is to use the video function. There are many virtual meeting tools to choose from, from hosting a group Skype meeting, using Microsoft Teams or Zoom, or creating a Google Hangout link on your calendar invites. If you work in an organization, you must use what is recommended for cybersecurity reasons.
"I endeavour to join a virtual meeting promptly, be ready to be 'live' via camera as it's more engaging. I try to be mindful of everyone on the call, especially during this unprecedented time. After the meeting, I make sure that I shut the virtual meeting environment down properly especially if I have been sharing anything virtually" - Avtar Banse, Senior HR Business Partner, Elsevier
By having your video activated, as a host, you are humanizing the conference call to imitate a face-to-face meeting as possible. Activating video is a good virtual meeting etiquette, and if you're not keen to share your living space with your colleagues, remember that many tools let you select a virtual background.
During the meeting
4. Connect with your colleagues.
To make a virtual meeting productive, it's vital to keep team members engaged, including people who are less likely to speak up. That means making every attendee feel as comfortable as possible to get involved in the conversation.
The best way to get the conversation off to a good start and get everyone feeling settled is to do a personal-professional check-in at the beginning of your meeting. This can include informal exchanges or an ice-breaker. After that, remind attendees to mute their microphones if they are not speaking.
5. Encourage collaboration and accountability.
People want to be heard and respected during an online meeting, just like they do everywhere else. Do what is necessary to encourage collaboration during and after your virtual meeting. Make sure everyone knows which ball is in whose court.
For a virtual meeting to be productive, stay focused on what's important. Report-outs can often be time-consuming and may not be ideal when there are many items to discuss on an agenda. A good way to prevent a weighted discussion is to encourage a separate session where individuals can collaborate and refine a solution or process. This will enable those more closely involved in a project to be accountable for its development and progress.
6. Do not go on mute or multitask.
Turn off all notifications and make sure your mobile phone is on silent. Avoid unnecessary distractions. When in doubt, just practice common courtesy. As host, you mustn't go on mute unnecessarily and leave the room to get coffee, answer a call or dip into your emails. Why? You may miss vital information, cause disengagement or worse – be seen as unprepared or disinterested. We should all strive to set high standards, and these should not slip because of physical distance.
"When meeting online I give myself plenty of time to connect to it. I make sure that I have functional audio. A headset works best so the sound isn't muffled. Once on, I make sure I can hear who's talking clearly. It's also a good idea to ask participants to mute themselves to prevent any background noise. If you use video, it makes for a much more effective virtual meeting!" – Mark Gannon, Publisher, Elsevier
7. Formalize the coffee area conversation.
Remember those post-meeting conversations in the coffee area at the office over a cup of water, tea or coffee to vent frustrations or discuss excitement with colleagues? In a virtual environment, accommodate time for this type of reflection. If this does not seem appropriate to tag onto the group meeting, float this as an opportunity for those who'd like to arrange a short catch up post-meeting. This will generate more discussion, questions and facilitate great understanding.
8. Send follow-up notes.
For a meeting, it's vital that someone is assigned as the note taker. That way, follow-up notes can be sent out with key discussion points, actions and who these will be assigned to. This ensures that everyone is on the same page in terms of what was discussed and is also handy to refer back to, particularly if meetings are recurring progress updates.
For a virtual meeting to be productive, every person needs to come away with a clear objective. The key things to share in your follow-up are:
- Key deliverables and next steps
- Who is doing what by when
- Who is responsible for following up and reporting progress on each item or task
- When the next virtual meeting or check-in will be

There's been much love for the Simca Rallye 2 here lately, and really, what's not to love? So I won't add more history of the actual car, that's been well and truly covered. But let's have a look at what this model is, or perhaps, isn't.
This is another Atlas Dinky - and it presents a bit of a problem. Both the box and the base proudly proclaim this to be the "Prototype" of the Rally 2 - but is this really the case?
I think not. This model clearly is a pre-face lift version, with the smaller headlights and round tail lights - as made until 1968. The face lift came for the 1969 model year, and the Rallye 2 wasn't announced until 1973.
I think what happened here is something else altogether. Dinky already had a casting of the regular Simca 1000 -
and probably was looking to make it a bit more modern and appealing to the young buyers. Much like Simca was doing with a 1:1. But it looked a bit too different from the real Rallye 2 - so they just called it the "Prototype" to account for the all too obvious differences. This is of course only speculation on my part - but back in the day, toy makers were often a bit fanciful with the truth.
Couldn't happen today now, could it? Just imagine, say, a large toy maker calling a model a "Porsche 356A" when it is clearly a 356B...
The Abarth diorama is not entirely out of place here, as Abarth also made a faster version of the 1000. But this still my only 1/43 diorama - until the mail from France finally arrives!
Anyway, have a "Bon Weekend"!

FastBreak Foundation Plants 22 Trees As Part Of "Threes For Trees" Initiative
On Thursday, June 9, the FastBreak Foundation partnered with Great River Greening to launch the "Threes For Trees" initiative.
What is "Threes For Trees", you ask?
Well, it's pretty straight-forward. The Foundation planted a tree for every 3-point shot made by the Timberwolves during home games during the month of April.
Fun facts: The team made 13 in the final game of the season against the New Orleans Pelicans, so that helped. In three homes games during the month, Zach LaVine made eight 3-pointers, Nemanja Bjelica made three, Karl-Anthony Towns, Gorgui Dieng, Andrew Wiggins, Ricky Rubio and Shabazz Muhammad made two each, while Tyus Jones pitched in with one.
As part of the NBA's Commitment to Service program, a team of volunteers made up of military personnel and their families, as well as Wolves and Lynx employees (including President Chris Wright and RFO Ryan Tanke) worked to plant 22 trees at the South Washington Conservation Corridor in Woodbury. That group worked side-by-side with Great River Greening, a community-based organization that leads restoration of prairies, forests and waters.
Follow the day below with tweets, because you know, it's 2016 and that's what people do.

Farquhar Blog: 22 – 29 March 2019
This week we welcomed a mixed group of anglers to Farquhar with Russia, Kazakhstan, Italy, England and Scotland represented.
From a weather perspective we enjoyed warm and sunny conditions with variable winds that blew for the most part from the east which later in the week switched to a west to north west wind. We started this week with full moon spring tides that progressed to neap tides later in the week.
With 8 guests we managed to land 16 GTs. A special mention for first time saltwater fly angler Talgat, for landing a brute GT of 102cm, well done Talgat. Angler Charles also landed a powerful 103cm GT whilst the father and son team of Andrey and Nikita managed to land five GTs between them, well done guys!
Our Bumpies were seen in good numbers this week and although we had loads of hookups we only managed to land two, John and Yerlan getting one a piece.
The diversity of this pristine atoll impressed yet again with loads of exciting reef species caught by everyone in the group. Alexander landed a beautiful Napoleon Wrasse of 73cm, whilst several hard fighting Bohar Snapper, Swallow-Tail Grouper, Bluefin Trevally and Jobfish added to the species tally.
Thanks to our guests for a fantastic week on the flats of Farquhar.

About Roberta Hunter
In 2004, while on a 2 week vacation into the Yucatan, we chose Xcalak as an out of the way destination to relax and enjoy snorkeling and diving, our 2 favorite activities. That was the beginning of an exciting and enriching adventure that we enjoy sharing with guests who return year after year. Two months of every year we live at the Inn and enjoy the tropical breezes and calm, clear waters within the protective reef. We love our spacious, airy, 2 bedroom suites nestled close to the gently lapping waves that are only 60 feet from our porch. We hope to share our tropical paradise with you and have taken great pleasure in detailing the rooms with local Mayan arts and textiles.
Roberta Hunter purchased this Condo in 2004
Why Roberta Hunter chose Xcalak
We invested in this Villa because of the obvious beauty of the area and friendliness of its local people. The tranquility and its seclusion allows us the slowed down pace we need between our busy lives in the wine country of northern California. The rest and relaxation we experience while reading, snorkeling, diving and just hanging out in a swinging hammock is all the reasons why we enjoy this special retreat and hope you will too.
What makes this Condo unique
Fun Things to Do - Walks on the beach, snorkeling with schools of fish along the coral banks, scuba diving the dozens of world class underwater canyons, a sports enthusiasts destination for great fishing, reading that novel that you've been dying to get to, visiting awe inspiring ruins of the proud Mayan people, eating great food, and reaquainting yourself with those you love.
