Well, I guess the bottled water boom is drying up.
Blame it on the economy as people are rethinking (and it's about time) bottled water.
Tap water in a plastic bottle or reused plastic bottle or aluminum bottle looks better and better all the time.
This is according to an article in the Washington Post.
And according to the Arizona Daily Star, Aquafina (bottled by Pepsi Cola) does not come from a cool stream as the word might have you imagine but rather from the same tap water that we Tucsonans drink. The difference: it's double filtered locally and sold astronomically.

UNICEF to prepare a Tea Atlas in Assam
United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has decided to prepare a Tea Atlas in India's North Eastern State Assam. This atlas seeks to create a comprehensive database of the tea gardens and socio-economic condition of its workers in state.
Key facts
- It will cover all aspects of the Tea industry, including garden workers who comprise nearly 20 percent of the state population by mapping tea community database, graphs and maps.
- It will also provide features like geographical locations of the gardens, proprietorship, various indicators like implementation of Plantations Labour Act and government schemes meant for the tea community.
- In this case, tea communities have been identified as the focus of UNICEF Assam's Social Inclusion and Equity Programming which addresses the issues like early marriage, alcoholism and child labour among them.

Those of us who are romantically-involved with that special someone (and really, even those of us sitting at home alone on a Friday night blogging) are well-aware that this Sunday is Saint Valentine's Day. Window displays, television commercials, and grocery store aisles have been tinged with reds and pinks for weeks now — a constant reminder that we Americans are commercially-obligated to express our feelings in rations of flora and chocolate cubes. We here at the Criterion Cast have but one love above all others, and that love has surprised us today with an early Valentine's present, leaving us open-jawed and squealing to our besties.
That love? The Criterion Collection. That early present? Their releases for May 2010.
Criterion # 10 Available on DVD and Blu-ray, May 18th, 2010.
In episodes past, we've made specific mention that WALKABOUT was to see its re-release sometime within the next year or two, but we have had no recent indication that it would be this soon. Criterion has given one of its first and finest releases a digital makeover, packed it with some fresh new supplements, and sealed it with a saucy re-envisioning of its original artwork. Consider it pre-ordered!
A young sister and brother are abandoned in the harsh Australian outback and must learn to exist in the natural world, without their usual comforts, in this hypnotic masterpiece from Nicolas Roeg. Along the way, they meet a young aborigine on his 'walkabout,' a rite of passage in which adolescent boys are initiated into manhood by journeying into the wilderness alone. Walkabout is a thrilling adventure as well as a provocative rumination on time and civilization.
Disc Features
- New, restored high-definition digital transfer, from a newly manufactured restoration element (with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition)
- Audio commentary featuring director Nicolas Roeg and actress Jenny Agutter
- Video interviews with Agutter and actor Luc Roeg
- Gulpilil'"One Red Blood (2002), an hour-long documentary on the life and career of actor David Gulpilil
- Theatrical trailer
- PLUS: A booklet featuring an essay by author Paul Ryan
Criterion # 30 Available on DVD and Blu-ray, May 11th, 2010.
So, this Fritz Lang character is getting loads of attention as of late. Apparently, he made some pretty long movie called METROPOLIS that was just recently made even longer with some newly-uncovered footage (I mean, if you like films without sound, then I guess this is cool). Anyway, he spent so much time and effort on that film that he only had enough energy to give his first talkie one letter for its title.
But seriously, folks — as hinted at in Criterion's New Years image, M is finally coming to Blu-ray! The release is complete with a "long-lost English-language version," which I know nothing about, but by which I am wholly intrigued. This is another release I'll be eagerly anticipating.
A simple, haunting musical phrase whistled offscreen tells us that a young girl will be killed. 'Who Is the Murderer?' pleads a nearby placard as serial killer Hans Beckert, played by Peter Lorre, closes in on little Elsie Beckmann. In his harrowing masterwork M, Fritz Lang merges trenchant social commentary with chilling suspense, creating a panorama of private madness and public hysteria that to this day remains the blueprint for the psychological thriller.
Disc Features
- Restored high-definition digital transfer (with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition)
- The long-lost English-language version of M (on the Blu-ray edition)
- Audio commentary by German film scholars Anton Kaes, author of the BFI Film Classics volume on M, and Eric Rentschler, author of The Ministry of Illusion: Nazi Cinema and Its Afterlife
- Documentary on the physical history of M, from production to distribution to digital restoration
- Conversation with Fritz Lang, a 50-minute film by William Friedkin
- Claude Chabrol's M le Maudit, a short film inspired by M, plus an interview with Chabrol by Pierre-Henri Gibert about Lang's filmmaking techniques
- Classroom audiotapes of editor Paul Falkenberg discussing M and its history, set to clips from the film
- Video interview with Harold Nebenzal, the son of M producer Seymour Nebenzal
- Stills gallery, with behind-the-scenes photos, and production sketches by art director Emil Hasler
- Plus: A booklet featuring an essay by film critic Stanley Kauffmann, a 1963 interview with Lang, the script for a missing scene, and contemporaneous newspaper articles
Criterion # 516 Available on DVD and Blu-ray, May 25th, 2010.
Among my favorite aspects of my Criterion preoccupation is finding common ground with friends and family in certain releases. My grandparents took my father to see STAGECOACH in the theater when he was very, very young (naturally, not in its original theatrical run), and he was very pleased to hear that it was coming to the Collection. This year, we've seen heavyweights such as James Mason (BIGGER THAN LIFE) and Marlon Brando (THE FUGITIVE KIND) make their debuts in the catalog, and now we have a third in John Wayne. Perhaps you've heard of him?
This is where it all started. John Ford's smash hit and enduring masterpiece Stagecoach revolutionized the western, elevating it from B movie to the A-list. The quintessential tale of a group of strangers thrown together into extraordinary circumstances'"traveling a dangerous route from Arizona to New Mexico'"Stagecoach features outstanding performances from Hollywood stalwarts Claire Trevor, John Carradine, Thomas Mitchell, and, of course, John Wayne, in his first starring role for Ford, as the daredevil outlaw the Ringo Kid. Superbly shot and tightly edited, Stagecoach (Ford's first trip to Monument Valley) is Hollywood storytelling at its finest.
Disc Features
- New, restored high-definition digital transfer, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition
- Audio commentary by noted western authority Jim Kitses
- Bucking Broadway (1917), a fifty-four-minute silent western by John Ford, with new music by Donald Sosin
- Extensive video interview with Ford from 1968
- New video interview with Dan Ford, biographer and grandson of the director, about Ford's home movies
- New video interview with filmmaker Peter Bogdanovich
- New video essay by writer Tag Gallagher
- New video feature about Monument Valley
- New video interview with stunt coordinator Vic Armstrong about Stagecoach's stuntman Yakima Canutt
- Radio dramatization of Stagecoach from 1949
- Theatrical trailer
- PLUS: A booklet featuring an essay by David Cairns and the short story that inspired the film
By Brakhage Volume 2
Criterion # 517 Available on DVD and Blu-ray, May 25th, 2010.
Alas, every rose has its thorn. To say I am not the world's biggest Stan Brakhage fan would be a bit of an understatement. As painstaking as it was for me to drudge through The four hours of By Brakhage: An Anthology (Spine #184, now deemed "Volume One"), I can now look forward to over seven additional hours in Volume Two.
I don't mean to discourage his work outright, though. It definitely establishes its merit as an avant-garde challenging of film paradigm in its unorthodox structures and ambiguous (if not absent) purpose, and with the exception of the perverse footage of crowning babies and autopsies, it can create a funky atmosphere if muted and played in the background at your next social gathering. Criterion should not be sleighted, however, for the apparent love and attention they have given to these releases, even packaging both volumes together in a definitive Blu-ray release (with some rather nice concept art).
Working outside the mainstream, Stan Brakhage made nearly four hundred films. Challenging all taboos in his exploration of 'birth, sex, death, and the search for God,' Brakhage turned his camera on explicit lovemaking, childbirth, even autopsy. Many of his most famous works pursue the nature of vision itself and transcend the act of filming. Some, including the legendary Mothlight, were made without using a camera at all. Instead, Brakhage pioneered the art of making images directly on film'"drawing, painting, and scratching it by hand. His visionary style has influenced everything from cartoons and television commercials to MTV music videos and the work of such mainstream moviemakers as Martin Scorsese, David Fincher, and Oliver Stone. With these two volumes, we present the definitive Brakhage collection'"fifty-six of his works in high-definition digital transfers, spanning his almost fifty-year career.
by Brakhage: An Anthology, Volume One
Working completely outside the mainstream, Stan Brakhage has made nearly four hundred films over the past half century. Challenging all taboos in his exploration of 'birth, sex, death, and the search for God,' Brakhage has turned his camera on explicit lovemaking, childbirth, even actual autopsy.
By Brakhage: An Anthology, Volume Two
In our first volume of By Brakhage, we brought twenty-six astonishing works by the avant-garde film pioneer Stan Brakhage to home video. In this second installment, we are proud to present thirty more of Brakhage's innovative creations, from 1950s films to his final work, from 2003.

Representing the more, er, carnal aspects of Valentine tradition, we have five films by Nagisa Oshima making up Eclipse Volume 21. If his Criterion selections IN THE REALM OF THE SENSES and EMPIRE OF PASSION are any indication of the overall air of his body of work, these films will no doubt be filled to overflowing with tons and tons and tons of graphic, unbridled sex. Happy viewing!
Often called the Godard of the East, Japanese director Nagisa Oshima was one of the most provocative film artists of the twentieth century, and his works challenged and shocked the cinematic world for decades. Following his rise to prominence at Shochiku, Oshima struck out to form his own production company, Sozosha, in 1961. That move ushered in the prolific period of his career that gave birth to the five films collected here. Unsurprisingly, this studio renegade was fascinated by stories of outsiders'"serial killers, rabid hedonists, and stowaway misfits are just some of the social castoffs you'll meet in these audacious, cerebral entries in the New Wave surge that made Japan a hub of truly daredevil moviemaking.
Available on May 18th, 2010 on DVD, the Collector's set includes:
Pleasures of the Flesh
A corrupt businessman blackmails a lovelorn murderer, Atsushi, into watching over his suitcase full of embezzled cash while he serves a jail sentence. Rather than wait for the man to retrieve his money, however, Atsushi decides to spend it all in one libidinous rush.
Violence at Noon
Containing more than two thousand cuts and a wealth of inventive widescreen compositions, this coolly fragmented character study is a mesmerizing investigation of criminality and social decay.
Sing a Song of Sex
Four sexually hungry high school students prepare for their university entrance exams in Oshima's hypnotic, free-form depiction of generational political apathy, featuring stunning color cinematography.
Japanese Summer: Double Suicide
A sex-obsessed young woman, a suicidal young man she meets on the street, a gun-crazy wannabe gangster'"these are just three of the irrational, oddball anarchists trapped in an underground hideaway in Oshima's devilish, absurdist film.
Three Resurrected Drunkards
A trio of bumbling young men frolic at the beach. While they swim, their clothes are stolen and replaced with new outfits. Having donned these, they are mistaken for undocumented Koreans and end up on the run from comically outraged authorities.

We give a very warm welcome to Fox Mahoney as he joins our roster of talented writers. He probably knows more about fonts and 3D in Motion than anybody outside of Cupertino, so we are very happy that he has agreed to let us in on a few secrets. His first tutorial is building a custom Motion generator to automatically generate subtitles in Final Cut Pro X.
We have had Final Cut Pro X in under five minutes, now we have XinTwo which aims to break down learning FCPX into shorter bite-sized chunks.
Well it is a big claim to make, but maybe with Final Cut Pro X, half an hour is really all you need to get enough instruction to edit & publish to YouTube. This new free 25 minute tutorial doesn't hang around...
It has been a quiet week for Final Cut Pro news, so that gives us the ideal chance to catch up on the latest free FCPX and Motion tutorials. One thing we have noticed from the last time we did a tutorial roundup is that there are a lot, lot more tutorials being produced.
As we have been a bit hardware-centric over the last week or so, this story takes us right back to the craft. Sven Pape is publishing regular videos on how he's cutting a film - on FCPX of course!
We couldn't make BVE at ExCel London this year, a shame as Soho Editors had a lecture area that put on presentations that mainly concentrated on Final Cut Pro X. So luckily for us they have just published recordings of the sessions. Rory from Soho Editors, Thomas Grove Carter, a couple of Alexes and Pierre from Softron all take to the stage.
Back to a full week in the office and what could be better than four great Final Cut Pro X tutorials hot off YouTube. Thomas Grove Carter shows us his tips, tricks and shortcuts when he uses FCPX to edit an Audi commercial.
Four great free tutorials for you. We start off with a handy trick to add motion blur to projects and timelapses, then we look at spotting sound effects using clip connections. We finish with this week's MacBreak Studio taking sound from Final Cut Pro X into Logic Pro X and the latest episode of FCPX in under five minutes.
Ever lose an FCPX library somewhere on your hard drive? This week's MacBreak Studio will show you a trick to get them all organised. Plus we take a look at the first part of a tutorial on building superhero titles.
Victor Gusev from Moscow very kindly emailed in this quick tip for FCPX. How do you select a clip that is not on the main storyline without using a mouse?
Did you know you can take Apple's new 'Live Photos' and convert them into usable smooth video using Final Cut Pro X? Kenny Yin shows us how...
One of the things we enjoy about running the site is receiving news or tutorials about things in Final Cut Pro X that we would never think about. This is one example, a very clever trick for making progressive footage appear interlaced in an interlaced timeline.
Two new tutorials from Ripple this week. We look at replacing an iPad screen with the TrackX plugin and creating alternate storylines in FCPX.

The Translational Nanomedicine Program at Mayo Clinic conducts basic science research to synthesize and create detailed characterizations of novel nanomaterials.
A precise understanding of the chemical and physical properties of nanomaterials paves the path for clinician-investigators to explore the uses of these materials in translational nanomedicine applied to patient care.
The Translational Nanomedicine Program has three main research projects.
The Translational Nanomedicine Program is developing a new nanosensor-based protein analysis tool that will allow molecular recognition adapted specifically for cancer biomarkers from a single exosome.
Exosomes are small membrane-bound vesicles secreted into the cellular environment that contain biomarker proteins and may provide critical signatures of early pancreatic cancer development and progression. However, there is no technology that can monitor the protein analytics from a single exosome.
Once the Translational Nanomedicine Program's novel nanobiosensor platform is developed, Mayo Clinic researchers will be able to investigate exosomes derived from patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma as possible biomarkers for early detection and disease progression.
The Translational Nanomedicine Program is developing a new fluorescent sensor platform to quantify glucose levels and concentrations of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) within the tumor microenvironment.
Once developed, this nanoplatform will allow clinicians to monitor patient response to cancer therapies in real time.
For many cancers, therapeutic options include multimodality and multidrug regimens, which can make monitoring specific tumor responses difficult.
A combination of simultaneous imaging and pathological testing can help precisely measure tumor responses after chemotherapy, radiation therapy or both. However, these methods can't monitor real-time spatiotemporal cell-based evaluation of therapeutic response.
To overcome this obstacle, the Translational Nanomedicine Program is developing a novel monitoring nanoplatform.
This nanoplatform has the potential to help clinicians know precisely which therapies are producing the desired outcome of reducing or eliminating tumors. The nanoplatform targets pancreatic cancer, renal cancer, breast cancer, melanoma and hepatocellular carcinoma, the most common type of primary liver cancer.
Several preclinical studies have shown that nanotechnology can improve diagnostic and therapeutic outcomes for patients who have pancreatic cancer.
But because the biological interactions of these nanomaterials are poorly understood, their successful translation into the clinical setting has been hindered.
Investigators in the Translational Nanomedicine Program at Mayo Clinic are pursuing this research project about a nanoplatform for targeted drug delivery to address challenges in transferring nanomedicine to the bedside effectively.

What Are the Different Uses of Calendula Ointment?
Calendula ointment can be rubbed onto the skin in order to treat a variety of different minor medical conditions. It is believed to have some anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial effects that make it useful in the treatment of minor wounds and sores. It is frequently used to aid in the healing of minor cuts, scrapes, and abrasions as well as minor burns and sunburns.
One of the main uses of calendula ointment is in the treatment of minor abrasions. These small injuries do not generally require medical attention and can be successfully cared for with home treatment. Calendula ointment is one possible herbal treatment that can be used on small injuries at home. It can promote healing and may be able to prevent minor infections from forming. An open wound that starts to show signs of bacterial infection, should, however, be seen by a doctor.
Sores may also be treated with calendula ointment. It is commonly applied to cold sores, which are small viral infections that appear around a patient's mouth, which usually clear up on their own. The use of calendula ointment can reduce irritation and promote healing. This ointment may also be used to help treat bed sores.
In certain cases, calendula ointment may be used to treat burns. It can reduce the irritation and pain caused by sunburn and can also be used against burns caused by friction or heat. In the treatment of burns, it is important not to place calendula ointment on the injury until it has cooled because the oil in the ointment can trap the heat in the skin and make the burn worse.
People can also use calendula ointment to treat a number of minor skin conditions. The ointment can be rubbed onto excessively dry or chapped skin. It can also be used on varicose veins. In the treatment of this condition, it is thought that this ointment may increase circulation thus helping the varicose veins to heal while reducing the pain caused by the condition.
Calendula ointment is made my soaking the petals of the calendula, or marigold, in oil for a couple of weeks. This allows the medicinal properties of the flower to be infused in the oil so that it can be applied to the skin. Herbal remedies containing this flower have been used for hundreds of years, and the plant has long been known as a safe, edible herb.

The Man Who Shot Liberty ValanceDVD - 2017
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
🐴 A masterpiece, this film was widely panned on release, but it's one of the few very great Westerns, on a par with "Shane," "The Searchers," and "High Noon." As usual, you'd have to say that Derringer (see below ⬇) is wrong, John Ford's last Western was "Cheyenne Autumn," with Richard Widmark. A beginner's mistake.
Released in 1962 - This enjoyable film teamed up 2 Western Greats (James Stewart and John Wayne) in what would turn out to be director John Ford's farewell to the Movie-Western.
Set in the year 1910 - Senator Rance Stoddard, and his wife, Hallie, return after many, long years to their old hometown of Shinbone, Texas, to attend the funeral of a dear, old friend, rancher Tom Doniphon.
In flashback format - Rance recounts to a local newspaper reporter the story of how, 25 years earlier, he had just begun his career in Shinbone as a young, idealistic lawyer. And, then, as circumstances quickly changed, how he became the man who shot Liberty Valance, one of the most vicious and ruthless gunslingers/outlaws that the Wild West has ever known.
With Director John Ford's unique visual sense and belief in sparse dialogue, along with an excellent ensemble of supporting actors, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance is a fairly satisfying Western/Drama in so many ways.
Special Movie-Trivia Note - The title song for this picture, written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, which became a Top 10 Hit for pop-singer Gene Pitney, was never used in the film.
Great story, great cast, great director -- a true classic Western.
Lee Marvin plays an amazing villain. Awesome movie.
A very good story! I enjoy all the great actors in this movie, including the minor characters. The old classics are much better than most of the new stuff.
Ransom Stoddard (Jimmy Stewart) and his wife Hallie (Vera Miles) arrive in the small town of Shinbone to attend the funeral of one Tom Doniphon (John Wayne). No one is sure why a successful senator, former governor, and possible vice-presidential candidate would want to attend the funeral of a man who died so poor that the undertaker will not "make a dime on this." Stoddard tells a reporter of his first arrival in Shinbone, many years before, as a young lawyer fresh out of law school, where he ran afoul of a vicious bandit, Liberty Valance (Lee Marvin).
Stoddard develops a friendship with Hallie, which remains platonic as it is generally accepted that she will marry Tom, the only man in the territory tougher than Liberty Valance.
Stoddard refuses to back down to Valance, but believes that killing is not the solution, and that law and society must prevail. The town marshal is a weak, ineffective man who leaps at reasons not to face down Valance, who would surely kill him. The editor of the town newspaper shows some courage by believing in the power of the press the way Stoddard believes in the power of the law.
Ultimately, however, Stoddard finds himself unable to do anything but pick up a gun and face Valance. He is shot, but kills Valance in a final exchange of gunfire. As Hallie binds his wound, we see her feelings for him clearly, and so does Tom Doniphon, who goes home in drunken despair. He sets fire to the addition to his home he had been building in anticipation of his marriage to Hallie. The flames spread to the rest of Doniphon's house and almost kill him; he is rescued by his ranch hand, Pompey (Woody Strode).
Stoddard is feted for killing Liberty Valance, and proposed as a delegate to Congress in a bid for statehood. At the territorial convention (in "Capital City," the capital of the territory; Ford was clearly working hard to make this story universal, and carefully avoided identifying which territory was the setting for the story), however, he finds out from Tom Doniphon that it was Doniphon who actually killed Valance with a rifle, firing at the same time as Stoddard and Valance. Doniphon says that he can handle having the cold-blooded murder on his conscience, and that Stoddard needs to go on and do the work that Doniphon could never do.
Ultimately, Ransom Stoddard goes on to great success, in no small part because of his reputation as "the man who shot Liberty Valance." Tom Doniphon dies penniless, never having so much as rebuilt his burned-out house. In a final indignity, the undertaker even tries to take the boots from his body, but is rebuked by Stoddard.
The story is a tragedy in many ways. Doniphon gets nothing at the end, even though he fired the critical shot. Pompey, who handed Doniphon the rifle to shoot Valance and saved him from the burning building, is left alone and destitute himself. The sheriff is shown at the end of his years, a lost man who has not held his identifying office for many years. Stoddard gets everything, but is haunted by the fact that he failed in his convictions against violence by taking a gun to face Valance, and that the deed for which he is famed is a lie. When he tries to set the record straight, the newspaper editor refuses, saying "This is the West, sir! When the legend becomes fact, print the legend."
In the final scene on the train to Washington, when Stoddard thanks the conductor for his special assistance, the conductor replies "Nothing's too good for the man who shot Liberty Valance," and walks away. Stoddard, who is about to light his pipe, stops; he cannot escape his legend, and now even the simple pleasure of a pipe is tainted, as is the rest of his life, by a lie.
This is a 1962 American Western directed by John Ford, based on a short story written by Dorothy M. Johnson.
Although this one is considered one of Ford's best, everybody should be able to tell that Ransom Stoddard didn't kill Liberty Valance.
Nonetheless, it is a gripping, engaging and entertaining western.
One of my all -time favourite westerns. Keep an eye on the terrific character actors who complement the main stars. Top notch!
Unfortunately, I found this big-budget, 1962 Western to be very disappointing. It didn't help matters much that I'm not a John Wayne fan. In this film Wayne looked thoroughly bored and tired, which is how he seemed to look in many of his later pictures.
In a nutshell, this film's story was all about who really shot down that lousy, stinking, bastard, Liberty Valance, the man who everyone loved to hate (and for some very good reasons, too).
I also think that it was a big mistake that director John Ford had this film shot in dreary black and white.
QuotesAdd a Quote
Tom Doniphon (to Ransom Stoddard): "Hey, Pilgrim - you're gonna need a coupla stitches... Pompey, go find Doc Willoughby. If he's sober, bring him back."
Tom Doniphon: "Liberty Valance's the toughest man south of the Picketwire - next to me."
Dutton Peabody (protesting his nomination to the statehood convention): "Good people of Shinbone... I, I'm your conscience, I'm the small voice that thunders in the night, I'm your watchdog who howls against the wolves, I, I'm your father confessor! I - I'm... what else am I?" Tom Doniphon: "Town drunk?"
Floyd: "It's Liberty! He - he's hurt!" (Doc approaches Valance's body) Floyd: "It's Liberty." Doc Willoughby: "Whiskey, quick!" (someone hands him a bottle; he takes a drink, and turns Valance's body over with his foot) "Dead." (walks off)

Until now, choices were limited if you wanted to learn how to use kinesiology tape. You had to read a book or attend an expensive class that locked you into one way of applying tape. Not anymore.
FMT Basic Kinesiology Taping Certification
FMT Basic introduces the evidence based approach to taping for pain*, enhancing fluid dynamics, posture, nerve entrapment and scars. FMT Basic is an evidence-informed kinesiology taping course that redefines our understanding of the effects of elastic therapeutic taping on pain* mitigation, circulation and proprioception. FMT Basic lays the groundwork for a practical framework of 'taping movement, not muscles' to replace an outdated model focused on directional taping to activate or inhibit muscles.
This 8-hour certification course is intended for practitioners and therapists with all levels of experience with taping. All supplies needed for the course are provided. There are no prerequisites for FMT Basic.
FMT Performance Kinesiology Taping Certification
This course expands on the concepts taught in FMT Basic and explores enhancing human movement and performance via functional taping methods (movement based). The anatomy and physiology of myofascial lines are covered. Movement screening is used to determine dysfunction in specific anatomical planes of motion and how to apply tape in a manner that improves movement and function. Learning is primarily done in a workshop, hands-on environment.
This 8-hour certification course is intended for practitioners and therapists with all levels of experience with taping. All supplies needed for the course are provided. FMT Basic is a prerequisite for FMT Performance.

Powerwashing & Pressure Washing
A powerwasher or pressure washer is a high pressure sprayer that can be used to remove dirt, mold, grime, dust, mud and loose paint from surfaces. Powerwashers use controlled pressure to clean surfaces and volume is measured in gallons per minute. The pressure and applications for powerwashers can be adjusted by using various nozzles, pump sizes and guns. Chemical injectors or pump sprayers are used to administer or apply cleaning, bleaching and/or mold killing products.
Powerwashers can be very powerful and dangerous if not used properly. Call a professional power washing service to discuss your needs. An experienced powerwashing service or professional powerwashing company will know the proper applicators, nozzles and equipment necessary for your project. Discuss your options and desired outcome with us, we'll let you know what procedures and products are necessary to get the job done.

Health Care Organizational Ethics
What the Health is the groundbreaking observe-up film from the creators of the award-winning documentary Cowspiracy.

Flow Space
- Yoga Studio
Flow Space LLC was born inside this space in 2016 by Gainesville-born co-founders Maggie Rucker and Hannah Hill. Every day since they have been pouring their personal passions for aesthetic, creativity, authenticity, community, and self expression into the building. Many yoga, aerial, acro, dance, and other complimentary mindful practices are offered to the public within these walls on a regular basis. Local artists (of visual, performance, auditory, and healing natures) and various creatives collaborate often to make the space more colorful and host events that are equal parts mindful and socially innovative. Culture is at the heart of everything we do at Flow Space, and we believe in creating a culture that is sustainable, awake, safe, awe-inspiring, and expressive. With so many wonderful humans putting their love, skills, and efforts into beautifying the spot, Flow Space evolves perpetually in a very unique way that we believes makes Gainesville a better place. This gorgeous historic building, built in 1929 near what is now downtown Gainesville, was originally a railroad station. The original railroad track, now the end of the Hawthorne Trail, runs along the building's back yard. Built of tall brick walls, high trussed prairie arched ceilings, and memorable heart pine original floor boards that have been restored to an incredible luster, the interior aesthetic of the space is simply unparalleled. In motion are plans to weld our backyard shipping container into a holistic cafe and turn our space into a more community-centric environment.

I'm pretty gobsmacked at what you can do with a $12 GPS receiver, a $40 flight-controller board and a $28 long-range RC receiver these days.
The real question of course is: what danger does a sub-250 gram RC model make of frangible foam actually pose to people or their property?
How will regulators response when they realise the capablilities that can be built into such a lightweight and low-energy craft?
Will they say "yes, that's fine, these are safe"
Or will they say "we didn't know you could do that... sorry, we're now going to dump the full weight of our UAV regulations on every 8-year-old with a toy helicopter they want to fly in their back yard"?
I suspect the answer will prove whether politicians and regulators are using "safety" as an excuse to exert "control" over people having the kind of aerial surveillance capabilities that could be "embarassing" to a misbehaving government.

Editorial: Who's paying too much at the Apple App Store?
The U.S. Supreme Court took up a case Monday that millions of Americans have a stake in: a potential class-action lawsuit accusing Apple of gouging people who buy apps for their iPhones. But though Apple exerts an unwelcome amount of control over the apps market, the risk for consumers and businesses alike is that the court will muddy the liability waters in a way that deters innovation online.
The case against Apple was brought by a man named Robert Pepper and three other iPhone owners, who want to represent all consumers who bought iPhone apps through Apple's App Store. That's just about anyone who's purchased an iPhone app, given that the iPhone's software works only with apps from the App Store, all of which Apple has to approve before they can be sold.
Pepper alleges that the company inflated app prices by requiring developers to pay Apple a 30% "commission" on all their app sales. The result, Pepper contends, is that Apple has used its monopoly over the App Store to make apps more expensive than they would be in a competitive market.
There needs to be a clear way to enforce antitrust law that neither dampens the creative energy that the internet unleashes nor encourages monopolistic abuses.
That has all the hallmarks of a big company using its dominance to wring more cash out of consumers. And the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals agreed, allowing Pepper's lawsuit to move forward to trial. But the situation isn't as simple as it looks, which is one reason the Supreme Court agreed to hear Apple's appeal.
Apple argues that even though it runs the App Store and collects payments from consumers, it isn't a conventional retailer — the store is merely a platform it created for the convenience of developers, who set their own prices. Nor is it using its position to drive up prices improperly, Apple says. As the company notes, some developers may choose not to pass along the cost of the commission to their customers, depending on the demand and the competition they face. Beyond that, consumers who don't like the prices at the App Store can always switch to a non-Apple phone, of which there are many.
A key argument in Apple's defense is a 1977 Supreme Court ruling (in Illinois Brick vs. Illinois) that allowed only a "direct" purchaser of an item to sue on antitrust grounds. The rule was imposed to make sure that only the actual victim of a monopoly's price gouging could collect the triple damages the law provides. Here, Apple says, the 30% commission is paid by app developers, who have not sued. Consumers who buy apps are affected only indirectly by the commission, Apple argues, because it's up to the developer to decide how much, if any, of the cost to include in its price.
The problem with the 1977 model is that it's not a good fit for the current era of dominant online middlemen operating platforms that bring buyers and sellers together for a fee. These platforms are ripe for abuse by their operators, given that it's hard (or in Apple's case, impossible) for anyone else to offer an alternative marketplace. That's because the more widely used the platforms are, the more attractive they become to both consumers and developers. You wouldn't want to swap your iPhone or Android smartphone for a phone that had few apps available for it, and developers wouldn't want to write software for a phone with few users.
Enter the Fray: First takes on the news of the minute from L.A. Times Opinion »
At the same time, one of the great things about platforms such as the App Store is that they have encouraged bountiful innovation by giving developers around the world an easy path to a huge number of consumers, to the benefit of both. There needs to be a clear way to enforce antitrust law that neither dampens the creative energy that the internet unleashes nor encourages monopolistic abuses.
The Supreme Court actually went the other direction earlier this year, issuing a new rule (in Ohio vs. American Express) for judging "transaction" platforms that left internet companies guessing whether it would apply to them. The App Store appears to be an online version of a "transaction" platform — do the rules the court applied to Amex also apply to Apple, and to other, similar setups on the internet? The justices should use Pepper's lawsuit to clear up that mystery, giving online companies and antitrust enforcers alike a better idea where the lines are drawn.

If you like mint during the holidays, or any time, you will love this smoothie! We added only half an ounce of crème de menthe due to the strong mint flavor that tends to overpower the fruit flavors. You could experiment with other types of alcohol along with the crème de menthe, such as amaretto, Irish cream, or crème de cacao. When using the sweet liqueurs, it would be best to use fruits with rich flavors such as oranges or bananas. We were going for a distinctive mint flavor with this smoothie recipe, which was achieved by using mild flavored fruits and vegetables (cucumber and pear).
1/2 cucumber, peeled
1/2 pear
1 tbsp fresh mint
1/2 ounce creme de menthe
1/2 cup ice cubes
Optional: 1 tsp powdered sugar
- Add all ingredients except the sugar to the blender and blend until smooth.
- Pour into a holiday glass.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.
To significantly reduce preparation and blending time try using one of our recommended high end best blenders for smoothies.

BOLOGNA, Italy — Sustainability was more than a buzzword at the Cosmoprof trade fair that was held here from March 9 to 12.
This story first appeared in the March 30, 2012 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
On the opening morning, the first panel discussion focused on that topic, along with its fellow traveler, innovation. Meanwhile, in the background, key players were grappling with questions regarding the fair's future direction, just as the Italian beauty market is struggling to find a firmer growth footing.
"This is a transition year," said Fabio Rossello, president of Unipro, the Italian association of cosmetic industries.
The feeling of change was palpable as news spread that Aureliana De Sanctis was no longer chief executive officer of SoGeCos, Cosmoprof trade shows' parent company. It was speculated that since SoGeCos had been acquired by BolognaFiere, it had continued to assert its independence, according to sources. That ended recently when Duccio Campagnoli, president of BolognaFiere, also became president of SoGeCos. De Sanctis remains active in the organization in another role.
"We are thinking about innovation," said Campagnoli, in a brief interview during the Elle Beauty Awards on the evening of March 10. "We have to have more engagement on innovation in the cosmetics industry."
Campagnoli contended the fair was successful with its number of exhibitors, but he reiterated the belief that the fair has to be bigger and better.
Cosmoprof's overall attendee figures were down 0.9 percent on-year to 175,703. However, foreign visitors increased more than 10 percent for the session, with more than 40,000 in attendance.
Overall, the number of exhibitors inched up 0.9 percent on-year to 2,320.
Show organizers made a point of asserting that the fair has become "a cornerstone event for foreign exhibitors," with companies coming from more than 70 countries, according to a statement. That contention illustrates how much the fair has changed in the last several years. As big name manufacturers — international and Italian — have gradually disappeared from the roster of exhibitors, the ranks of foreign delegations has continued to grow. This year there were new country pavilions from Mexico, California, Brazil, the Netherlands and Romania. All in all, there were 20 collective exhibitions from manufacturing countries.
The vacuum created by the absence of many of the big players has been filled by medium- and small-size exhibitors, who continue to pack the halls. As one large exception, the biggest names in nail enamel packed in crowds of enthusiastic visitors. L'Oréal made a dramatic splash with its Essie brand.
Jeff Pink, president and ceo of Orly, was busy in the country pavilion, riding the nail-color boom.
Despite the comparative tranquility outside of the nail and hair arenas, he said from his standpoint, "This was one of the busiest shows in the last few years."
Cosmoprof remains a favorite meeting place, with familiar faces seen at events and in show offices. A handful of prominent business leaders — including Ferragamo's Luciano Bertinelli, Estée Lauder's Orna Nofarber, L'Oréal's Camilla Schiavone, ICR-ITF's Roberto Martone, Sephora's Laura Schiatti, Euroitalia's Davide Sgariboldi and Simone Destefanis, the recently named head of beauty for Coin and Excelsior — were seen in Bologna. However, they were there mostly to participate in award presentations and meetings.
As for the show's future, Rossello said one direction forward for Cosmoprof may be to tie fashion together with beauty at the show. But the call for sustainability went far beyond the fair or Italy's borders, as Europe struggles in the grip of economic malaise.
Cosmetics Europe, formerly known as Colipa, is establishing a sustainability network of organizations across Europe, according to Bertil Heerink, the organization's director general.
"Sustainability is at the heart of what we are presenting," he said, adding that it's not just an ecological but also a socioeconomic issue. His organization will celebrate its 50th anniversary on June 13 and 14 with a program of activities in Brussels.
The current problems facing the Italian cosmetics business are definitely pressing. Domestic consumption last year limped along with a 1 percent gain, whereas the country's beauty industry's exports of 3 billion euros, or $4 billion at average exchange, hurdled ahead with a 14 percent increase.
Rossello said of the much-made call for innovation, "It's not a plus, it's a must."
That sentiment was echoed at the Italian beauty retail scene, which had been buffeted by a heavy winter snow, political turmoil and consumer financial strain. Some mom-and-pop perfumeries — which previously had formed the industry's backbone — continue to suffer. Between 2009 and the end of this year, 40 percent of independent cosmetics shops will have closed in Italy, according to an estimate cited by Celso Fadelli, ceo of Intertrade Group.
Some chains have been suffering, too, notably Limoni, which has undergone management changes. The Italian perfumery group — whose parent company, private equity fund Bridgepoint, acquired the La Gardenia perfumery chain in July 2011 — was said to be shuttering four doors in central Milan.
"There's an Italian proverb — 'Your death, my life,' " Augusto Mazzolari, founder of the Mazzolari perfumery chain, said with a broad chuckle during an interview earlier in the week in Milan. "There was a time when chains hurt traditional perfumeries, and now it's the reverse."
Antonella Mandelli, the perfumery's general manager, believes an emphasis must be placed on individual products and services. Mazzolari, for instance, has recently introduced some items from the Kosé brand — including the 900 euro, or $1,190, AQ Antiaging cream —and also launched aesthetic treatment services.
"You need your own identity because there are too many products, and you need to differentiate. Otherwise, we all are selling the same thing," said Mandelli.
Numerous industry experts highlighted the raging success of Kiko, a low-priced cosmetics chain.
The roots of Italy's retail problem were traced during a discussion at a Unipro conference during the first day of Cosmoprof. One study that was cited involved 50 percent of non-perfumery frequenters (who had formerly patronized the retail channel) with the other 50 percent being perfumeries' continuing customers. Of that latter group, half said they're on the fence about continuing to shop at such stores.
There was more unanimous sentiment as the focus-group members took a dim view of mom-and-pop perfumeries, which were depicted as having lost touch with their customers. In the past, these businesses were known for their intimate relationship with consumers, according to the study. Now they are seen as either "pretentious" or "cheap" and "dusty."
Customers who had become disenchanted with perfumeries were asked what could lure them back. Among the responses were "friendlier service," "high-quality, special products" and "expert advice."
Also earlier in the week, during an interview at Intercos headquarters in Agrate Brianza, a Milan suburb, Dario Ferrari, the company's founder and president, discussed further pressures on the market.
"There's a lot of private label selling at very competitive prices but with good quality. All the masstige brands are having trouble," he said, adding that sales gains can only come through new products.
One bright streak that gladdens industry executives is the fact that Italy remains a net exporter. The country's total beauty economy amounts to 10 billion euros, or $13.2 billion at current exchange, of which 3 billion euros, or $4 billion, is exports, matched against 2 billion euros, or $2.6 billion, of imports. That leaves a plus margin of 1 billion euros, or $1.3 billion. Rossello said the industry is investing the equivalent of 6 percent to 8 percent of sales into research, almost double the approximate 4 percent spent on R&D for products in the general business.
"The cosmetics industry is a very important part of the Italian economy," he said, adding its exports are challenging that of the country's wine and shoes.
In the exhibition halls of Cosmoprof, the hottest focus was on nails and hair. L'Oréal's Professionnel division reemerged at the fair after a three-year absence, with a spectacular 5,555-square-foot, centrally located stand to launch the Essie nail brand into the Italian salon market. Building number 22 — dedicated to nails — was the most bustling spot of the whole fair.
Big-name nail brands, including OPI, CND and Orly, were all showcasing gel products.
David Suliteanu, president and ceo of Sephora Inc., who was browsing through Cosmoprof's nail section, jokingly defined the nail business in a single word — "gel."
Some highlights that were new to the fair this year included the Extraordinary Gallery, a labyrinth of nooks featuring everything from specialized beauty lines — such as Villa Buti, creator of fragrances made in Tuscany, and Sai-Sei, a Japanese bath and body line owned by Space NK — plus fashion and accessories.
There was also the consortium of 11 California-based beauty brands financed by a $2.3 million grant that was part of the U.S. Small Business Administration's $50 million program to boost exports. Among the brands there were Zerran Hair Care, which was highlighting its own nonformaldehyde straightening system that relies on high heat.

Find the Main Issue in Essay
- In order do this, get a piece of paper and write down all interesting specialties in one column. And in another column, indicate a specialty that you would not be involved under any circumstances. When imagination runs low, you can turn to family members, friends who know you well and have studied and analyzed a list of these options. It is likely that they can offer valuable comments and advice.
- Seek the data about what universities in your area (or in the city where you are going to supply) are offering studies according to specific specializations. Read the university site, take a trip to all of them, if it is possible, and make a little investigation. So you will be able to assess not only the appearance of the required university but also the principle of the academic attitude to their work. Gather a bunch of booklets and talk with the local students. Pay attention to the level of university activity in international events and scientific conferences.
- Go through different tests for career guidance. Today, a lot of them are available on the Internet. It will be useful to buy at least one book on the psychology of the pitfalls in the process of choosing a profession. As a result, you get more or less objective understanding of various fields, which have the greatest chances and prospects. It will also help you determine the list of professions that should be strictly avoided in your selection.
- Do not neglect the different ways of self-determination. In particular, start to be acquainted with archeology and astrology or even socionics. It will permit to learn plenty of useful and important things about yourself. These are controversial ways but they will assist in choosing the appropriate option. For example, socionics will determine the appropriate specialty with regard to its type of information metabolism.
- Listen to yourself. Usually, quiet reflections and dreams will help you figure out what you prefer the most. At least, try to forget temporarily about desires and rules, imposed by the society. We must continue to believe in our dreams and ourselves even if others are skeptical. Try to figure out what is connected to your ideal job. Each person is unique and different, so avoid social stereotypes.

Frank and I made a decision to go bankrupt last year after selling our business. It was all starting to get on top of us. We had invested in property pretty seriously in and around the Bendigo area over the past ten years, and one thing lead to another where we ultimately had to sell the entire portfolio because the market prices of the houses just kept decreasing. It got to the point where we owed the credit union a lot of money and had no rental income to cover it. As I reflect now I realize we probably should have acted quicker when things started to deteriorate, but you hope things will get better. Bankruptcy Experts Bendigo gave us some very good advice, as it was a really nervous time for us and we have never not paid an expense in our entire lives. Bankruptcy Experts made us feel comfortable. It's weird, but bankruptcy has been one of the best things for our marriage. We live 100% debt free, and we are even saving some money. We will buy another house for our old age, but at this time we are just enjoying each day as it comes.

Reigning Silver Cup winner Ombra Racing will return to the Total 24 Hours of Spa this year to defend its class victory.
As it prepares to begin its landmark 25th year of competition, the Italian outfit has announced plans to run the full Blancpain GT Series with the new Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO, the latest spec machine from Ombra's longstanding partner.
The team clinched Silver Cup honours at last year's Total 24 Hours of Spa with Alex Frassineti, Romain Monti, Andrea Rizzoli and Kang Ling at the wheel. Indeed, the class was the closest-fought in the entire race, with the Ombra car finishing just two seconds clear of its nearest contender. Ombra will remain in the ultra-competitive Silver class this term to contest the five-round Endurance Cup, with drivers for the programme set to be announced shortly.
"2019 is an important year for us," commented Ombra manager Davide Mazzoleni. "Not many teams can celebrate 25 years of history and we are proud of this achievement.
"We come from a solid season on both the technical and sporting side, closed in good style in Barcelona [with second in class], and we want to start from there. We are aware that the new Huracán EVO will require dedicated development, but we have a very high-level team ready to start working."
Giorgio Sanna, the head of Lamborghini's motorsport programme, added: "Following the brilliant results achieved together with Ombra in the last three seasons, which also allowed us to work with young talented drivers, we are very pleased to renew this partnership with the new Huracán GT3 EVO."
Preparations for this year's Total 24 Hours of Spa will begin on Monday 22 July, with the first track action taking place the following day. The festivities will continue on Wednesday 24 July with the annual parade to Spa town centre, quickly followed by practice and qualifying on Thursday and Friday (25/26 July).
The race itself will play out across Saturday and Sunday (27/28 July). A host of exciting support series will precede the main event, while further entertainment – including the Fan Zone and music concert – will run throughout the on-track contest.
