22:57 < takkaria> basically, on a standard 80x24 terminal, various object desciprtions don't fit 22:57 < takkaria> so something needs to be done about that 22:58 < takkaria> it's basically a UI design thing. I'm trying to walk a line between compactness and easiness of visual data extraction 22:59 < takkaria> I'm not sure where to go with it 22:59 < takkaria> perhaps the game should use fewer newlines for object descriptions 23:00 < magnate1> Yes, I was thinking that too (fewer newlines) 23:03 < ajps_> Scrolling object descriptions? As in, scrollable, not marquee 23:05 < takkaria> if there's a non-scrolly way to do them, I'm interested in that 23:05 < takkaria> scrolliness is pain 23:05 < ajps> Well, yeah, but far more general than hand-tweaking all descriptions to fit a given screen size 23:06 < ajps> When handhelds, etc. might not be able to accomodate that anyway, and will need something scrollier 23:06 < ajps> Or massively more compact, I suppose, but still... 23:06 < takkaria> I guess that requires having a text_out_to_buffer() hook and sorting something out that way 23:06 < ajps> I keep thinking about all these blcoks of text the "game core" generates that need to be punted to the UI for display, y'see 23:07 < ajps> Recall, Inscpection of objects, etc, etc 23:07 < ajps> So yeah, once they are blocks of text that the UI gets, we can go to scroll-on-overflow

A quick fix might be just to use a -more- prompt where needed (from #881).

Doing a -more- prompt is hard here, so I've gone with the hack in [5b24e2a] (SVN r1543). We can look at doing this cleanly in 3.1.2.

All the folks using immigrant children as pawns in their political bickering leave me shaking my head in wonder, and more than a little sad at how low some people can sink.
The political firestorm over immigrant children streaming into the U.S. illegally has made headlines across the U.S. Here in Carroll, our board of commissioners and some state and federal lawmakers jumped on their political soapboxes after word came that the former Army Reserve Center was being considered as a place to house some of the children until they could be processed. The shock at that display, and the outpouring of support from across the county was reassuring, even as the government said the site would not be used for that purpose.
And while some vandal or vandals painted anti-immigrant graffiti on the side of the center, we've largely escaped some of the more nasty responses that have bubbled up elsewhere in the nation.
Perhaps the worst was last week when a protesting congressional candidate in Arizona ended up with egg on his face after mistaking a busload of YMCA campers for undocumented immigrant children.
The Arizona Republic reported that Republican Adam Kwasman was at a protest that was awaiting a busload of children that were due to arrive for processing.
According to a video on the Arizona Republic website, Kwasman said "I was able to actually to see some of the children in the buses. And the fear on their faces ... This is not compassion."
Of course there was fear on their faces. They looked out and saw an angry mob, probably shouting, shaking their fists and hurling insults at them.
From Kwasman's comments, it appears he was hoping to exploit the immigrant children's fears as a way to show how badly the Obama administration is handling the situation. Instead, he and the other protestors got a first-hand lesson in the impact their behavior and actions had on a bunch of camp kids.
Make no mistake. The troubles at the border have not been handled well. And wherever you stand on the issue, you should be able to express your opinions and have your voice heard. But it is despicable for adults to use children in their political battles. It doesn't matter if it is dressing your kid up in an anti-gun t-shirt for your protest against gun violence or if you give them a sign to wave at a soldier's funeral that reads "God hates fags," as has happened with one anti-government group. Kids are not pawns to be used to further your agenda.
I would bet that if the bus had been the one carrying the immigrant children, the protestors would have drowned each other out shouting about how terrible it was that these children were being bused around like that. Kwasman's comments as reported by the Arizona Republic would seem to back that up. Kwasman changed his tune when it was pointed out the children were campers. Hopefully he and the other protestors were able to see how their behavior impacted the children on that bus, and perhaps they will think twice about traumatizing kids for their own personal political gain in the future.
To put it in a different perspective, if you were at a public park playing with your kids, grandkids, nieces or nephews and a group of yelling, sign-waving protestors (pick your favorite cause) arrived and began making a ruckus, would you stay or would you take the kids and high-tail it out of there?
Politics will always be a messy business, and there will always be hot-button issues that prompt people to mobilize in an effort to have their voice heard. Kids are only kids for so long. Most of their lives will be spent in adulthood, and they will have plenty of opportunity to take sides on a wide range of issues.
Don't take their childhood away from them. Don't use them as pawns to further your political agenda. Let them grow up first. Then they can decide for themselves where they stand on issues, or whether they even want to take a stand at all.

Don Pesci: Democrats and Republicans behind closed doors
By Don Pesci
The relationship between Republicans on the one hand and Governor Dannel Malloy and Democratic leaders in the General Assembly, Speaker of the House Brendan Sharkey and President Pro Tem of the Senate Martin Looney, on the other has been frosty from the beginning of Mr. Malloy's tenure in office. "Frosty" may be a considerable understatement: On budgetary matters, Democrats and Republicans were not on speaking terms at all.
Mr. Malloy, quite consciously, pushed Republican leaders out of the room during all his budget negotiations., which made budget formation easier for the Governor, even as it signaled a certain audacious and dismissive attitude towards Republicans. In fact, Mr. Malloy had diagnosed Connecticut's ills before he presented his first budget to the General Assembly. He knew what he had to do and proceeded to plow an unobstructed path for himself.
Mr. Malloy's prescription for what ailed Connecticut involved massive tax increases, temporary savings extracted from unions, and crony capitalist offerings to select companies that were considering moving out of state; his tax credits, low interest loans and government gilded treatment were supposed to anchor to Connecticut long standing companies itching to improve their profit lines by moving operations away from entangling government. Mr. Malloy's massive tax increases extended a lingering recession and throttled job production. Understanding that crony capitalist bribes were not enough to offset increased taxes and crippling regulations, major companies in Connecticut began to look for the exit signs. Not only did Mr. Malloy's prescriptions fail to cure the patient; his solutions exacerbated the very problems they were designed to cure.
Mr. Malloy's second budget imposed on a limping state the second largest tax increase in Connecticut's history, the largest being Mr. Malloy's first tax increase. Massive tax increases produced chronic budget deficits temporarily interrupted during the Malloy years by recission hiccups.
In order to recover costs associated with Obamacare, which restricted the profits of insurance companies, large insurers began to combine with each other. Aetna, merging with Humana, Cigna, bought by Anthem, Travelers, scouting out acquisitions, and Prudential, acquiring Hartford Life – all companies that for years have had large footprints in Connecticut – have now been permanently transformed. Some or all of these businesses, having recombined with other insurance giants, may pull up roots in Connecticut in an effort to recover lost revenue.
This is the bleak background that may explain why Mr. Malloy, facing the inevitable consequences of his handiwork, now has called Republicans to the budget negotiation table. The invitation arrived hemmed about by barbed-wire Democratic demands issued by Mr. Looney and Mr. Sharkey. Republican Minority Leaders in the General Assembly, said the two Democratic Majority Leaders, must come to the table prepared to "stay in the room until the job is done." Also they must "present real ideas" and "be willing to compromise." Most importantly, they must "bring votes."
Republicans were uncomfortable with the demands. Were the "real" ideas of Republicans to be only those that did not discomfort leading Democrats and Mr. Malloy? Republicans in the past had put forward some "real" budget solutions, all brusquely dismissed by Mr. Malloy, who told Republicans, rather imperiously, that if they jotted down their ideas on the back of an envelope, he would consider them -- la-di-da! If demands Democrats were to offer in the closed door meeting were simply more of the same temporary fixes, there would be little room for compromise. Minority Leader of the Senate Len Fasano and Minority Leader of the House Themis Klarites, who does not suffer bullies gladly, sensed a tar pit and rejected the demands. They wanted a frank discussion that did not prevent both parties from arriving at real solutions incorporating long-term structural changes.
And the very first order of business, Republicans insisted, should be to determine what the real deficit is. Democrats, who in the past have high-balled the rate at which state revenue would increase, had pegged the state's present deficit at $221 million. That was a low-ball number, Republicans said; the real debt is closer to $350-430 million. No more temporary fixes please; no more recissionary sleight-of-hand. Repetitive recissions remove from the General Assembly its most important function – producing rational budgets — and invest budget making authority in the executive department. Following the November 2016 elections, the projected budget will run more than $1 billion in the red. A real structural change, painful but necessary, would involve long-term spending cuts, union contract re-negotiations and budget reallocations.
The first round of negotiations, both Democrats and Republicans agreed, was cordial. All agreed that a special session dealing with the budget could not be convened until mid-November, sometime after municipal elections have concluded.

Hunger Journal: Today was much better on the meal front. Redemption from the previous two days which saw some failures. I found a sort of creativity-out-of-desperation kick, which was desperately needed today. I was standing in the kitchen before lunch sort of numb, realizing my last batch of cooked rice had been used at breakfast, and I was hungry now, so I didn't want to wait 45 minutes for my rice to cook. I was so uninspired but then I remembered it was a 3-egg day and I got a much needed last-minute inspiration for lunch you can see in the photo at the end of this post. My aversion to the recent soup debacles led to better creativity for dinner as well.I got a sweet note from one of my staff at the Children's Hope Center in Manila, saying they were all proud of me and praying for me, and that was huge wind in my sails. I told her about my recent meal (vegan pizza rolls) and that it cost me about 15 Philippine Pesos ($0.30), and asked her what kind of food she could buy with that.
I found her response interesting. She said it could buy either two eggs, or a bowl of noodles, or three small bread rolls; comparable, or worse, than what I'm getting. So maybe for $0.30 you could buy ingredients for a humble egg drop noodle soup, but I don't think it would have the diversity of ingredients that my soups have had.
I will try to do some further study on this topic, because one of the common contentions I've received from my blog readers is kind of the "Yeah, but can't you buy a lot more food in those parts of the world with $1?" I honestly don't think so. I think economically it holds about the same. Staples like rice, beans, potatoes are commodities, and commodities are traded internationally, so I'm no economist, but I do believe that $0.30 here buys about the same in the developing world. I'll do more research and get back to you.
But regardless, my point is that those families living in the slums in Manila, for example, are still struggling, in an extreme way, to make ends meet living on about $1/day. Just think, a common salvager living in the Payatas Landfill Colony (where our Hope Center is located) is making about $1-$2 a day, but that is their entire budget, not just for food, but for cooking fuel, clothing, rent, medicine, and any other imaginable household living expense you can think of.
|Lailani, one of the girls enrolled at our Hope Center, seen here at her home.
When you start to consider these factors, you can start to understand the predicament of these families, and why they don't enroll their children in school, why they keep them home to help them find a few extra sacks of recyclable materials to redeem for a few pennies. They literally cannot afford shoes for their children, uniforms, bookbags, or school supplies. If they were able to afford sending their child to school, being illiterate themselves, how are they going to help their daughter with her homework, and how will they be able to ensure her success in school?
So as you're reading this, I hope you start to see the kind of pattern of fear and desperation that creates the cycle of extreme poverty. That's where our Children's Hope Center model comes into play. In this case, in the case of the Payatas Landfill Scavenger's Colony, we have a Hope Center located right in the middle of this colony. It's a colony composed of shanties and cottage-industry recycling sorters and salvagers, with junk shops everywhere dealing in putrid trash being sorted, cleaned and prepared for sale to the recyclers, with young children involved in every operation.
When we can convince families to enroll their children in our program, we get them everything they need to get their child into school: school supplies, bookbags, uniforms, etc. and not only that but we alliviate some of the financial burden of caring for their children by way of providing them with one fresh-cooked meal per day after school. Again, back to my illustration above, one meal can represent around a 1/3 day's wages, so that is significant.
Our after-school care program then provides the child with tutoring services, to help them with their homework and supplement their school-based coursework so that they can catch up with other kids further along than them. This eliminates the other opposition that the parents have to enrolling their children in school, that being that they fear understanding the homework and don't know how they will actually be able to assist their children in succeeding in school (something every parent wants for their students).
But programs like the Hope Center cannot exist without monthly support to sustain these important efforts. Our Philippines staff works hard to maintain our farmland enterprise there, which covers about 30% of our in-country budget, but it's not enough to sustain it completely. That's where you come in, to step in with a small recurring donation that says, "Yes, I will give up a little so that they can have something consistently to count on!" And so it's like a seed of hope you are sowing into their cycle of poverty, that when grown, will hold the key to open the door that lets them escape that darkness.
It may sound idealistic, but I am here to tell you that it is true. We have hundreds of case studies of children who have come through our programs and are now free of that world of desperation, thanks to education and nutrition that was provided to them at the right time.
And that brings us to checking in on the "Heart-Chart"; a chart that's measuring our love for these children. You could say it's also a measurement of their hope, and our collective effort to do something consistently in response to the darkness of extreme poverty and its many ills such as human trafficking and child prostitution, which are sadly rampant in cities like Manila with its unmanageable population of 22 million.
So I'm sorry to report that last night's late-breaking news of the $51 heart being sponsored was a false-positive and we had to return that heart to its previous status. But today we finally reached the total needed to turn the $36/mo heart to red, thanks to eight donors who effectively pooled their resources to sponsor the heart as a group!
You can do the same as well. Just use this link to register a monthly gift of any amount of your chosing. I'll then keep track of these and will announce when the next heart is sponsored as a result of this pooling effect! In fact we've already pooled $9/mo toward the next heart! However, if anyone is feeling inspired and extra generous tonight, I would be grateful if you would consider just going ahead and filling in that next heart completely, at the $37/mo level!
So here's where we are currently, so close to filling up that next row!
I'm dedicating day 13 to the children enrolled at our Manila Children's Hope Center, whose smiles tell stories worth thousands of words... these are some of my favorite portraits I was able to capture of them during my last visit...
Charitable goal explanation. For those of you just tuning in, I'll recap what I'm trying to achieve with the "Monthly Donor Heart-Chart" and my goal of finding 50 new sponsors for these "hearts" which I like to think of as representing lives being transformed and, ultimately, saved.
Why am I seeking monthly donors? The orphan care, child labor response, and human trafficking response programs we've pioneered at Peace Gospel and She Has Hope— while sustained in part by small business enterprise— need charitable support to be fully sustained. The budgets of these programs have fixed, monthly expenses. Thus, while one-time donations are deeply appreciated, it's the monthly donations that give us something to count on and plan with. Therefor, long-term, they're the most powerful.
If you're willing to make a small monthly sacrifice of any amount to help ensure that the following merciful actions are fully funded each month, I would be grateful for your partnership with me in this effort. With your help, our monthly budget enables us to…
- Provide resident care for 290 orphans in 11 homes in Asia and Africa
- Operate 4 schools and 4 after-school care programs reaching over 1000 children
- Serve approx. 50,000 fresh meals to children in our programs
- Train 100s of girls how to avoid the dangers of human trafficking
- House, rehabilitate and empower 20 girls recovering from human trafficking
On to what I was able to create with just $1 worth of food today. I was very happy with my lunch and dinner inspirations! These were somewhat filling, and definitely tasty.

Safari Outdoor. The ultimate hunting community app.12 February 2018 ‐ 3 min read
Trophy hunters arguably belong to one of the most misunderstood communities on the planet today. Even though a considerable number of them are the same conservationists hard at work to protect endangered wildlife, their reputation has been tarnished by a disproportionate group of savage poachers and unethical hunters.
Not only are hunting experiences unwelcomed by a number of social groups on social media, according to law, hunting products may not be advertised online. Safari Outdoor, providers of high end hunting products decided to create their very own social network to combat this challenge.
How It Works
The Safari Outdoor mobile app is a platform that enables users to upload photos, share their stories and outdoor experiences on the newsfeed. The app includes a listing of game farms backed by Safari Outdoor, including hunting facilities, accommodation and packages.
Posts are geo-linked, so users can get an idea of where the hunting hot spots are, as well as the less-explored game farms for hunters that love to venture off the beaten track.
Design and Development Insights
The screen designs for Safari Outdoor's mobile app were carefully crafted to boost their brand identity, making use of dark UI (User Interface), and masculine look and feel to appeal to their target market. Clever use of iconography was key to making the app more interactive, and the brand icons serve as a powerful add-on, maximising brand presence in front of a captured audience.
This was a fairly sizeable project due to its social and interactive nature, and required meticulous implementation of the numerous screens that had to be designed for each scenario.
Looking to the future
The Safari Outdoor mobile app has a first phase release available on the app stores, with plans to expand on the offering where users can tap on a product mentioned in a user post and add it straight to their basket. Game farms will also have more advertising opportunities as the community of users grows.
Are you an adventurous, responsible trophy hunter? Download the app today via the App Store or Google Play.

Roots Rockin'
John Casado
Pensive and 'Poison': Buddy Miller thinks about his country.
Three artists chart the American dream
Buddy Miller
Poison Love (Hightone)
THERE'S ALT-COUNTRY--guitar-twangin', honky-tonkin', beer-swillin', cowpie-kickin', back-to-the-roots sort of stuff--and then there's the intelligent storytellin' of guitarist and songwriter Buddy Miller. Local audiences got a taste of Buddy earlier this year when he performed at the Mystic Theater as a member of Emmylou Harris' Spyboy Band. On this impressive (and seriously twangy) solo debut, Miller teams with his songwriter wife, Julie Miller (who contributed some of the most haunting, emotionally packed material on Harris' acclaimed Wrecking Ball album), and an ace line-up that includes Harris, country renegade Steve Earle, country singer Jim Lauderdale, bluegrass fiddler Sam Bush, and the Spyboy rhythm section. But the heart of this disc is a singularly rugged set of songs, ranging from the chilling "100 Million Little Bombs" (a compelling call for an end to the use of land mines) to tough little paeans to love lost and found. As a bandleader, Miller deftly handles the reins, knowing when to lie back and graciously allow his guests to snag the spotlight; Harris, Lauderdale, and Julie Miller all take turns singing lead vocals. A cut above the rest of the pack.

The Bottle Rockets
24 Hours a Day (Atlantic)
The Delevantes
Postcards from Along the Way (Capitol)
THE NEW COUNTRY-ROCK SCENE loosely known as "Americana" (often called "No Depression" for the magazine that covered this genre for almost three years) may be a flip side that answers the flurry of hype around electronica. Americana/No Depression is song-focused and acoustic guitar-based; it's an intersection of neo-folk, alterna-country, and roots-rock that extends from the Stones-like honky-tonk of Wilco to the modern bluegrass of Alison Krauss to the hillbilly rebel rock of Steve Earle. Midwestern rockers the Bottle Rockets and the New Jersey pop-folk duo the Delevantes both help paint a larger picture of the Americana/No Depression field. 24 Hours a Day is the Bottle Rockets' third disc of smoking, swaggering garage rock with a drawl; their idea of country rock comes from years of listening to Neil Young and ZZ Top, John Prine, and the Georgia Satellites. The rollicking remorse of "When I Was Dumb" is worthy of a mature Buddy Holly, and there are healthy echoes of venerable country-rock themes: hating the jukebox in "Indianapolis"; loving the pool hall in "Slo Tom's." This disc is long on crunch and heartfelt populism, short on trendiness, and medium on insight.
Melody is a strength of the Delevantes, whose aptly titled debut, Postcards from Along the Way, works in the chiming country-rock model of the Byrds and Buffalo Springfield, where spritely pop melodicism hosts detailed vignettes of hopeful yearning. This duo is composed of brothers who sing harmony with graceful simplicity, so their real roots are the Everly Brothers and the Proclaimers. But lyrical details are the key: "Suitcase of Leather" is one of the best failed kiss-off attempts ever, while "Reminds Me of You" is all tactile color ("Pavement flicking beneath my feet"). These days it's widely known that folk and country are the last havens of pure songwriting. More important, the Americana/No Depression new breed stands with metal and punk as the last haven of traditional rock for rock's sake.

The World Health Organization says the United States and Kenya have responded well to the threat of anthrax exposure. The United Nations agency says anthrax and other illnesses can be treated, but public health systems must be ready to deal with any outbreak of disease.
The World Health Organization says it is important for the public health service of any country to be vigilant and respond promptly to reports of possible infection.
The head of WHO's office for communicable diseases, David Heymann, says a swift response is needed to prevent disease from spreading. "Certainly, the response that has occurred in the U.S., and now in Kenya, is the response that is necessary," he said. "Strong public health response, good patient diagnosis, good laboratory systems that can diagnose the disease, and ways of making sure that containment occurs in the area where the outbreak occurs."
Dr. Heymann says a recent WHO report reviews the treatment options for diseases that could potentially be used as biological weapons, such as anthrax, smallpox, and bubonic plague. He says the plague can be treated with antibiotics, if it is caught early. Dr. Heymann says health experts from around the world are assessing treatment protocols for smallpox. "It is a disease with which we have had no experience in nature for the past 30 years because it has been eradicated," said dr. Heymann. "All these other diseases, we have had experience with recently, and we know what works and doesn't work. With smallpox, we have a protocol of what to do, and that includes isolation of patients and vaccination of health workers."
Dr. Heymann stresses that public health systems must be prepared to deal with any outbreak of disease, regardless of the cause.

Styled by McLaren design chief Frank Stephenson, previous reports describe the new McLaren, codenamed P12, as being very futuristic which does appear to be in line with the CAR renderings.
The P12 will be powered by a heavily upgraded version of the MP4-12C's 3.8 liter twin-turbo V8 engine generating around 800 hp (597 kW / 811 PS) and further boosted by a kinetic energy recovery system (KERS) that could generate an additional 120 hp (89 kW / 122 PS).
Join owners and enthusiasts discussing this topic at McLarenChat.com!
Incorporating vast amounts of carbon fiber in its construction just like the 12C, the P12 will weigh around 1,140 kg (2513 lbs).
The new McLaren will be revealed at the 2012 Monaco Grand Prix in May, possibly a private event for special clientele. The McLaren F1 successor will be reportedly launched in 2014 with a starting price of around €750,000.
In related news, CAR is also reporting a MP4-12C Spyder, which they also rendered, will be launched in 2012.
Special thanks to Kevin for the tip!

The Chiltern Rally and Road Run Report 2015
Glen Miller is missing….
Sunday 27 September 2015 was the date of the annual Chiltern rally and Road Run, which Phil and I have organised. This was the 30 event! The first took place in 1985.
This year we met up at the Flying Horse in Clophill, Bedfordshire. When we arrived there was already a good turnout of club members cars lined up in the car park. We welcomed Frank and Lou Darby who visited to return the Chiltern cup, their Park Lane now belongs to Ian Burt. After lunch the group set off on a road run of about 15 miles to the Glen Miller Museum, at RAF Twinwood. The route was faultless – almost – the museum entrance was reached by following a side track off the concrete road to the airfield, but this track had not been mentioned when I phoned to book our visit.
Despite its location quite close to Bedford, the airfield is in a remarkably remote rural location. During World War II it was an RAF base. Glen Miller and his Orchestra were based in nearby Bedford rather than London. They regularly flew from Twinwood to concerts elsewhere. In December 1944 Glen Miller boarded a Norseman aircraft bound for France, but the aircraft did not make the destination and was never found.
John Russell and Sheila Sewell joined us at the museum. Our group consisted of ourselves in the Flying 12, Steve Smeltzer in the Ensign Estate, Rob and June Hebditch in the Phase 1 Vanguard, Pat and Mike Beavis in the Stag, Brian and Betty Parkes with daughter Susan and husband Dean in the 14, Paul Newsome and Dicky Brightwell in the Charlecote, John and Rachel Maxwell in a Flying 12, Peter and Graham Lockley in the Doretti, Norman and Hilary Wright in their A35, Peter Pearce and family in a Phase 2 Vanguard, Stephen George in an Eight Delux, and guest Richard Carding and his wife in a Vauxhall Cavalier Convertible and their friends in a Ford Capri.
The Chiltern Cup was awarded (on the whim of the judges) to Steve Smeltzer's Ensign Estate, this is the car that we decided we would most like to take home with us. Well done, Steve for also driving from Bristol, making you the furthest to attend.
Apart from the Glen Miller section this museum has a number of other collections including the restored Control Tower, vintage costumes, Motor Transport, Fire Service museum, a model railway, aircraft and remains of crashed aircraft from World War II, rescued by the keen volunteers who run the museum. These volunteers explained what a bleak place Twinwood is in winter, and even on the lovely late summer day in the sunshine we felt chilled by a brisk breeze as we sat with our cups of tea outside the long hut which houses the café and some exhibits, we could only imagine how it would have felt to be stationed there in the war.
We had a great turnout this year for the Chiltern run and hope to organise another in late September 2016, to a new place of interest in our region. Perhaps we will meet you there!

Entering the 2014 season, Jake Odorizzi and Hak-Ju Lee are tied as the top prospects in the organization with Taylor Guerrieri and Enny Romero close behind.
Our top prospects list is a meta-analysis that averages the rankings for the Rays' top prospects from ESPN.com, Baseball America, Baseball Prospectus, MLB.com, and Minor League Ball.
In the science community, a meta-analysis is what we do when we take the work of a bunch of other people and paint a bigger and more accurate picture. In other words, instead of taking the opinion of one expert, we average the opinions of several experts.
Here are the Tampa Bay Rays top 16 prospects for 2014 (notes can be seen below)…
A few notes on the prospect rankings…
- Last year, Wil Myers was the unanimous selection as top prospect. This year, three of the top four prospects were chosen as the top prospect by at least one expert.
- Alex Colome will miss the first 50 games of the season after testing positive for steroids.
- Nick Cuiffo, Nate Karns, Andrew Toles, Ryan Brett, and Kevin Kiermaier are all new to the top 10 this year.
- Wil Myers, Chris Archer, and Drew Vettleson came off the list. Richie Shaffer and Blake Snell fell out of the top ten.
- Of the players who were on the list last year, Enny Romero made the biggest jump, moving up four spots.
- The final list includes all players that appeared in the top 10 of at least one list.
- Some players did not appear on every list. For players not on a list, we gave that player a ranking of 2 spots lower than the lowest ranked player in the list for the purpose of calculating the final average. Three of the prospect lists came out before the Rays acquired Nate Karns. So his average only includes the two lists on which he appeared.

Escaped slave, abolitionist, orator, and author
Frederick Douglass escaped from slavery at the age of seventeen to become one of the most effective abolitionists and most celebrated speakers and authors in the United States. He founded the abolitionist weekly newspaper North Star. The newspaper's office served as a way station on the Underground Railroad (the secret network through which slaves were assisted to freedom). Even after the emancipation of the slaves Douglass championed equal rights for African Americans and for women.
Born into slavery
Frederick Douglass was born into slavery in Tuckahoe, Maryland, in 1817 (the exact date of his birth was not recorded). He knew his mother—a slave named Harriet Bailey—only briefly, as she was sold to another plantation when he was a baby. (At the time it was common for slaveholders to...

- The status of your previous sexual relationships
- Your current sexual relationships
- Your current emotional state
- When the erectile problems started
- How long have the erectile problems lasted
- If you have seen another doctor specifically for ED
- If you have received treatment for ED before

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – A new plan has been launched to crack down on a dangerous game called "knockout," which has been caught on camera in New York and other cities.
As CBS 2's John Slattery reported, the "game" has been picking up steam in particular in Brooklyn. There have been seven so-called "knockout" or "polar bear" assaults in the Crown Heights and Midwood sections of Brooklyn since October, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said Wednesday.
The attacks have been caught on camera. People simply walk by and are sucker-punched by the offenders for no apparent reason.

Monday, March 8, 2004:Next Show: SDSU Battle of the Bands
First off, thanks to EVERYONE who came out to the show at Soma last night. It was a blast, and one of the most fun shows in Pensive history. Crowd surfers, people screaming back lyrics, and even a marriage proposal (or something close..). Congrats to Eddie and his beloved, by the way. So yes, definitely a great show in every aspect we can think of.
So what's next for the thoughtful crew (thoughtful is the definition of Pensive if you're still very, very lost)? We're going to be playing a Battle of the Bands at San Diego State University on Tuesday, April 6. No idea who else is on the bill yet, but it's sure to be a lot of fun as everyone knows college campuses are "wack, yo." Bring your friends and family to this FREE show and get them to cheer for Pensive! The show starts at 7:00 PM and will end around 10:00 PM, so everyone gets home before bedtime.
Also, we're getting really, really close to the launch of the new website, and it looks awesome! Things have really been progressing the last couple weeks with the way the site functions and runs, and Street Team members will appreciate the new site ten-fold. Keep your eyes open for some fun-filled changes in the next couple weeks!
Monday, March 22, 2004:Pure Volume
Well guys, we've finally put our music up at Pure Volume! You can now hear three songs from Something About the Stars, our "Christie Road" cover from the Green Day Tribute Album, and "Beginning of the End" from the album that started it all, Kids These Days. On the Pensive Pure Volume homepage, three songs are on the player up front, and on our music page, the other two appear. Sounds confusing, but once you get to the site, everything should be pretty self-explanatory. Also, we wanted to let you know that we were chosen for this weeks Pure Picks feature on the Pure Volume homepage, so go check it out!
San Diego fans: Don't forget that Tuesday, April 6 is a FREE show at San Diego State University. The music starts at 7:00 and it's a Battle of the Bands style show, so help us out by showing your support for Pensive! There's more info on the shows page.
Finally, the countdown to the new website has begun. That's right, we'll finally be putting up the new site that we've been promising. It looks great and we're positive everyone will love it! It should be up within the next 7-10 days, so keep an eye open and nag the web boy!
Monday, March 29, 2004:Official Launch Date
Hey! It's official! The launch date for the new website is this Sunday, April 4th! We're obsessed with the number four right now, so it'll be online on 04/04/04, and maybe even 4:04 PM because we're cool like that. Okay, maybe not, but it will DEFINITELY be online on Sunday, so get ready!

Ironic? Obama Appointee Stops New Overtime Rule
Surprise! On November 22, 2016, Federal Judge Amos Mazzant issued a nationwide injunction against the new Department of Labor Overtime Rules. Scheduled to take effect on December 1, 2016, the new rules increased the salary basis necessary to classify employees as exempt from being paid overtime. To be exempt, employees must meet BOTH the salary test and the duties test.
The salary test was scheduled to go from $455/week or $23,660/year to $913/week or $47,476/year. But Judge Mazzant of the Eastern District of Texas struck down the new salary basis rule and it will not take effect on December 1, 2016. Judge Mazzant granted the injunction against the DOL regulation because the "significant increase to the salary level creates essentially a de facto salary-only test." The judge found that "Congress did not intend salary to categorically exclude an employee with EAP [Executive, Administrative and Professional] duties from the exemption."
The timing of this ruling likely means that the regulation will never be implemented as written by the current Department of Labor. Even if this decision is appealed by the Obama administration, any further action on this case will not happen until after a new Secretary of Labor is appointed. The new Secretary can direct that the appeal be withdrawn and this injunction would become permanent.
Employers who have been preparing to make dramatic changes in order to meet the new rules should re-assess. This action means that nothing will change on December 1st and you may want to take the time to unwind preparations and communicate with employees that nothing will be changing. As always, consult with an experienced employment attorney if you have questions.

Human growth hormone is essential to the strength and development of the human body. Unfortunately, as we age our HGH levels naturally start to decline. This slows down our metabolism and starts the aging process.
Thankfully, products like Genf20 Plus help to replace lost HGH levels to normal levels to reverse the effects of aging among many other things.
What is Genf20 Plus?
Genf20 Plus is one of the best selling HGH supplements on the market. Genf20 Plus is one of the oldest and top selling HGH supplements on the market due to its' advanced formulation and proven ingredients. All of the ingredients in GenF20 Plus are natural and proven to increase HGH levels without causing unnecessary side effects.
What is Human Growth Hormone?
To truly understand how GenF20 works, it is necessary to know a little about human growth hormone and how it affects the body.
Human growth hormone is made in the pituitary gland, which can be found in the brain. It helps us grow and heal by stimulating cell reproduction and regeneration.
Basically, the higher the levels of HGH we have, the younger and stronger we look and feel.
Unfortunately, as we get older our HGH levels start to decline and so do our bodies. Our HGH levels decline by 25% every ten years after we hit 30 years old. This means that when you are 60 you are functioning at only 25% of your original capacity.
Obviously, the benefits of human growth hormone are tremendous, and scientists are constantly discovering new uses for it. Its effects upon all systems of our body are truly amazing. It:
- Creates new muscle
- Speeds up the metabolism, resulting in weight loss.
- Helps us sleep sounder and longer.
- Produces more energy
- Improves sexual performance.
- Strengthens our heart, bones, and kidneys.
- Diminishes wrinkles and age spots
- Strengthens nails and hair
- Improves memory and cognitive functioning.
The bottom line is, HGH is the most effective anti-aging substance in the world today. It is as close to a real-life Fountain of Youth as we've ever come across.
Why Not Try a Natural HGH Releaser Instead?
As the above story makes clear, although there are benefits to using HGH to overcome infertility, there are two significant drawbacks.
- Negative Side Effects: These include carpel tunnel syndrome, joint pain, muscle pain, swelling in the arms and legs, and high blood pressure. There is also evidence that it can contribute to diabetes and heart disease.
- Excessive Costs: It can easily cost over $1,000 a month for HGH therapy. There's a reason why HGH therapy is associated with athletes and celebrities—they're the only ones who can afford it!
It's important to understand that the kind of human growth hormone we've been talking about here is synthetic. This means that it's produced in a laboratory and injected into the bloodstream.
But the past few years have seen the rise of a popular alternative to synthetic HGH. It's called an HGH Releaser. An HGH Releaser doesn't actually contain human growth hormone. It works by stimulating the body into producing more of its own HGH.
While the benefits of using an HGH Releaser won't be quite as great as injecting synthetic HGH, there are no negative side effects and the cost is significantly lower. And there is no need for medical oversight or prescriptions when using an HGH Releaser.
GenF20 Plus Ingredients
Some of the ingredients in Genf20 Plus include:
L-Arginine: Stimulates the secretion of HGH in the pituitary gland and helps improve blood flow by relaxing arteries.
L-Glutamine: Helps build muscle, improves cell volume, improves brain function and energy, and has tremendous immune system benefits.
L-Glycine: Enhances brain health and is often used to treat mental disorders and metabolic disorders.
Colostrum: Boosts the immune system, increases stamina and lean muscle mass, and helps muscles recover faster. Is often considered the "miracle" ingredient of Genf20 Plus.
Phosphatidyl Choline Works as an excellent emulsifier, aiding with the absorption of the other ingredients. Also emulsifies and breaks down fat deposits in the body, helping prevent gallstones, atherosclerosis, heart disease, liver problems, depression, memory loss, and neurological disorders.
Astragalus Root Extract Long used to strengthen immunity and help heal wounds, it also enhances metabolism and digestion, improves lung function, supports the adrenal glands and gastrointestinal tract, and reduces fatigue.
Deer Antler Velvet A natural source of chondroitin, collagen, and glucosamine, which strengthens cartilage tissue. Also contains hormones, including IGF-1 (Insulin-like growth factor I) – a hormone that's produced in the liver in response to growth hormone stimulation.
GABA Gamma-Aminobutryic Acid is a potent neurotransmitter amino acid, providing a number of beneficial effects to the nervous system. GABA also stimulates the secretion of HGH.
What Happens When You Take GenF20 Plus?
Many users of GenF20 Plus begin to see and feel results in as little as two or three weeks. But it is recommended that you try the product for a full three months to experience the full effects.
The best way to know what happens when you take GenF20 Plus is to read what real users of the product have to say about their experiences. Here is what some people have said:
"My hair, nails, and skin look so much better now! My hair is thicker and shinier. I've lost some cellulite on my thighs that I thought would never go away!"
"This product has really improved my sex drive and overall energy. I've told everyone about GenF20 and now they're also big fans."
"GenF20 has made sex better. My muscles look more toned and I sleep much more soundly now. Definitely recommend."
"My skin tone is better now and I'm experiencing less hair loss. My overall health is better."
"I noticed that I had more energy, and I dropped a few pounds. But the clincher is that I didn't really know how good the product was making me feel until I stopped using it. It really improves my mood and I don't have as many bad dreams!"
"It's been about a month since I started using GenF20 Plus. I notice an increase in energy and muscle mass. Plus I'm also sleeping great! It's a blessing!"
GenF20 Plus is cGMP Certified
The makers of GenF20 Plus use the same pharmaceuticals manufacturer that large retail stores such as Walmart, Safeway, Rite Aid, Albertsons, and Walgreens use. This means that GenF20 is made using the same procedures, standards, and screening tests that major brand-name drugs undergo.
Remember, if you decide to purchase GenF20 Plus, please do so through the official manufacturer's website. If you buy it elsewhere, you are not eligible for the 60 day money-back guarantee.
Is This The Right Product For You?
It a lot of people have become interested in anti-aging science in recent years, and some of them have chosen to go directly to hormone injections is a way to slow down the aging process. Before you commit to that type of expensive and potentially dangerous hormone therapy, you may want to take a look at the GenF20 Plus reviews where you will see that this product is actually far more effective.
With regular use of both the GenF20 Plus pills and the spray, you should see a number of substantial changes as your HGH levels return back to what they were when you were much younger.

Christopher Harz pays a visit to one of the hottest vfx havens, Londons Soho district, which has attracted a flurry of American movies, thanks to creativity and tax incentives.
If youve been reading the credits on movies at your local cineplex, you may have discovered an interesting fact: a huge number of them have the post- production and vfx done in the U.K., mostly in London. You probably also read lately that Kodak closed the vfx division of Cinesite Los Angeles while Cinesite London is recruiting more staff to work on current production that includes Alien vs. Predator, Alfie, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, King Arthur, Sahara and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! What is going on over there, you ask is warm beer good for you, after all?
The answer comes in several parts. The first is that London turns out to be a terrific place to get media work done. It has a thoroughly developed infrastructure you can get almost any film-related work done within a few blocks in Central London, whether its vfx, set design, catering, transport, filming, PR, or pyrotechnics. The U.K. is the leading European location for film production investment, and London has the U.K.s largest media-related skill base, with more than 200,000 people working the field. There are more than 220 stages in more than 60 studios in London, including Pinewood (14 stages, five tanks), Shepperton (14 stages, four tanks), and Leavesden, which boasts the largest back lot complex outside of the U.S.
The government and labor laws are relatively friendly, and there is good connectivity a new fiber optic network called SohoNet links 12 London-based production houses together and connects London to Los Angeles as if they were neighbors. There appears to be great creativity in adapting London and its environs for a remarkable range of live shots how else to explain Stanley Kubrick using Londons Docklands for scenes supposedly shot in Saigon for his Full Metal Jacket? The number of films shot and/or post produced in London is remarkable. Some of them seem obvious candidates for work in the U.K., because they relate to stories that take place in England, such as About a Boy, 101 Dalmations, Harry Potter (all three), Robin Rood and Bridget Jones Diary. But what about The Fifth Element, Evita, True Lies, Event Horizon, Batman Forever, Saving Private Ryan, Mission: Impossible 2, Gladiator and Cold Mountain? Clearly, there is something about shooting and vfx production in London that directors and American studios like.
Which brings us to the second reason: there is a terrific creative pool in the city. The epicenter for star-studded vfx houses is Soho, an edgy area full of creatives, pubs and post-production facilities. Unlike its New York counterpart, which gets its name from being SOuth of HOuston street, this artists colony got its moniker from one of its 18th Century residents, the Duke of Monmouth, son of King Charles I, who used to bellow So-Ho when galloping off on a hunt or into battle. Apparently he did a lot of bellowing and galloping, because the name has stuck ever since.
One of the star studios in Soho is MPC, originally The Moving Picture Co., on Wardour Street. The facility is not what you would imagine a traditional British building to look like it is open, bright, airy and modern, with a blue-colored pool table and industrial-sized espresso coffee machine on one of its six floors to entertain and energize the working troops; other floors contain major office space and humming air-conditioned pods of ultramodern server and render farms. MPC has an impressive list of titles it is working on, including Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban; it just finished work on the recently released Troy. Surprisingly, although MPC makes expert use of normal toolsets such as Maya, Red Hat Linux, RenderMan and Shake, it also has a major force of programmers to generate custom-built tools. We decided not to use the Massive toolset for crowd management, says MPCs Michael Elson. It did not have the fine levels of control we were after for Troy and Harry Potter. Weve had up to 25 programmers working on a proprietary toolset that we feel is world class which is what we needed for the highly realistic men and horses in Troy.
Although MPC has ramped up its staff for its busy production schedule (it had more than 350 people employed recently), it prides itself on its boutique-like sensibilities. We dont want the dynamics of a big company, notes Elson. We want to be able to talk directly with all of our employees. And we want our customers to have direct and immediate access so that they will really enjoy the experience of working with us. We want to be known as being easy to get along with. Whereas MPC has a wide variety of vfx work, it outsources audio and other tasks. There is so much talent in the immediate neighborhood that it makes no sense to do things that others can do more economically, Elson notes. We work very hard on keeping our prices competitive.
One of the things that MPC apparently does well is pre-visualization. Films like Troy require very precise orchestration of the movement of real and virtual objects, both animals and humans. We worked very tightly with the director to adapt the previs to his vision throughout the production process. Weve had offers by outside companies to do the previs for us, but it is much easier and more effective with an in-house team.
What is also surprising is the level of cooperation between the studios in the area. It is not unusual for several of them to be working on the same film. Rather than the bitter competition sometimes seen in Hollywood, Soho seems to relish a spirit of friendly rivalry, with some of the workers drifting back and forth between different studios only a few blocks apart. The work force is definitely multinational whereas there is a core group of workers originating in England, you hear foreign accents everywhere. We have staff from Germany, Spain, France, Australia, South America Id have to stop and think about what countries we dont have workers from, Elson notes with a grin. How do all those cultures and ethnicities mix together? Not a problem, Elson replies. When they first come here they might stick together with their native countrymen a bit, but we encourage them to socialize together after work. They might go into the pub as French or Spanish or Ukrainian, but at the end of the evening they emerge as a team. Take note, U.S. studios this phenomenon, which could be called PBL Pub-Based Learning might catch on in the United States.
Meanwhile, Cinesite (Europe) Ltd. has recently experienced a flurry of American business. Along with the aforementioned titles, it just announced that it has been awarded Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the fourth entry in Warner Bros. blockbuster film franchise. This represents a large volume of work for Cinesite, which has moved straight into previsualization and development.
Earlier this year the U.K. Film Council and the DTI revealed the results of a report into the regions post-production industry, which indicated that the industry had helped to generate £1.39 billion for the economy and 15,000 jobs. Post-production now accounts for 25% of all production budget spending.
Antony Hunt, managing director of Cinesite, says, What is particularly exciting about this new slate of films is that many will be utilizing multiple Cinesite servicesAlso, over the past few months we have considerably developed the 3D creative side of our businessThis newly won work will be a further opportunity for Cinesite to demonstrate the high quality of our 3D work.
Cinesite ceo Colin Brown, recently appointed to the board of the UK Film Council and the newly established UK Post, which will serve to represent the interests of UK post-production, adds, There has never been such a busy and successful year at Cinesite (Europe). The volume of work and the quality of our output sets new benchmarks for the U.K. visual effects industry
Another Soho star is Framestore CFC, a large (up to 400 employees) studio, which worked on feature films such as Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Cold Mountain, Blade 2 and Resident Evil, along with the ground-breaking work on Walking with Dinosaurs and its companions Walking with Sea Monsters and Walking with Beasts. The Walking with Dinosaurs work, which approximates Jurassic Park animation but on a made-for-TV budget was animated, modeled and rendered with Softimage, according to Mike Milne, head of animation at Framestore, while the extremely difficult combining of digital images with live action was accomplished via Henry and Inferno sets. Whereas matting 3D models into a 2D film environment is difficult enough normally, in Walking with Dinosaurs the digital animals interact extensively with the live sets, kicking up water as they cross a stream, for instance. According to Milne, all the interaction was shot live, and then the animation team (nine animators, three technical directors and one texture painter, who worked on this project for 18 months) had to very precisely match their animations to the moving elements in the filmed backgrounds.
Framestore has also produced many award-winning commercials, including the famous Johnnie Walker Body and Shoal ad (directed by Daniel Kleinman and produced by Spectre for BBH), in which the camera goes underwater to take in what appears a shoal of fish which turns out to be a group of humans that race along near the surface of the water, leaping in and out like dolphins. Eventually one of the humans walks onto the beach, while we fade to the slogan Keep Walking its an ad for Johnnie Walker whisky. Framestore recently opened an office in New York City, to make its ad work more accessible to the American market.
Farther down the street you find Double Negative, which also has an impressive slate of vfx-laden films to its credit, including 007s Die Another Day, Enemy at the Gates, Johnny English, Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, The Nutty Professor 2 and The Hours. Double Negative also has an extensive in-house capability to build proprietary tools, which it uses in addition to industry standards such as Maya, RenderMan, Shake and Commotion. We worked very hard to come up with great tools for particle rendering, especially for natural phenomena including water surfaces and underwater scenes, says Matt Holben, Double Negatives ceo. We did a series of underwater scenes for submarines in films such as The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and Below, and we wanted to get it exactly right. Smiling, he adds, From now on, we can ace any water or submarine work that comes our way.
Holben has a theory on why the area produces such good vfx work. It was very helpful that there was a highly talented group in London all working on commercials people that work on commercials are almost by definition very creative and this has produced a talent pool for film fx, he says, adding, we have a very tight knit community here, with great communications. This studio also has an eclectic mix of staff from worldwide origins complementing a British core group. We all speak the common language of vfx here, says Holben. Creative people find a way to work together. This is such a visual business we really have no language barriers here. At the end of the day, what we deal with is pictures. Asked how he keeps his people on staff and motivated, he replies, We treat our staff with respect, and work hard to create a great studio with great people that takes on special challenges and delivers great work. Its very simple, in my eyes keeping excited and motivated people happy is my job. And the rest is history. Double Negative does more than just spectacular vfx it also takes pride in work that is, for lack of a better term, sophisticated. In a recent article, The Independent pointed out that Double Negative's effects are so special that you barely notice them.
Unlike many other countries, the U.K. has some excellent schools for training nascent animators, including the University of East London (www.uel.ac.uk), Escape Studios (www.escapestudios.co.uk), which claims to be Europes first dedicated school of digital animation, and the London Animation Studio at Central St. Martins College of Art and Design (www.londonanimationstudio.tv). There are also four-year masters degree programs available at the National Center for Computer Animation (http://media.bournemouth.ac.uk/mpca.html) at Bournemouth, a very attractive campus on the English southern coast.
The third (and perhaps dominant) reason for all the work thats going to London ismoney. Filmmaking is, after all, a business, one thats voraciously hungry for cash. Films made in Britain receive very active support by the British government. An American studio that spends at least 70% of its film budget in the U.K. can get rebates of more than 10%, a very respectable sum for a blockbuster (a major Hollywood feature cost about $103 million to make in 2003). Several studios mentioned this as the major factor in the recent flood of American films into Britain between 20 and 30 major features are in some stage of being produced in the U.K. This is a huge increase from recent years in 1998 only about 2-3% of U.S. features were made in Britain, compared to over 20% in Canada, according to the Screen Actors Guild. There is no question that the government rebate has been very helpful to our industry, says MPCs Elson.
The great benefit that the U.K. has is sale-leaseback schemes, which other countries do not. Basically, a U.K. taxpayer (usually a group of investors) buys the negative and copyright of the film from the producer, deducts the full cost against its tax bill, and then leases the film rights back to the producer for a period of up to 15 years. The total amount of lease payments is less than the price paid up front, due to tax benefits, and that amount is shared between the producer and the British investing entity in effect, the producer gets 11-14% of production costs back, in cash, not just in tax credits. In order to get this treatment, 70% of the film work is supposed to be performed in Britain. There is some leeway, however the British government has special relationships with certain other countries such as Romania. It is because of such an exemption that a British film such as Cold Mountain, for instance, could have its American Civil War scenes filmed in Romania.
Why has this type of British financing become so hot almost overnight? A major reason appears to be the sudden collapse of German tax-related financing in recent years, together with the pullback of German companies such as Kirch Media, which tended to be generous purchasers of foreign rights. Until recently, wealthy Germans had the option of investing in sale-leaseback funds for films that involved both their cash investments plus additional borrowings getting them a tax write-off on more money than they actually put at risk. This type of tax benefit resulting from time-shifting taxes was popular in America until the Tax Reform Act of 1986 after which Hollywood studios started looking overseas for financing from tax-supported investment groups. The investment from German funds was huge tax related film financing by Germany in 2002 was $2.33 billion (according to Variety), compared with $1.6 billion from the U.K. The next highest funding figures were paltry by comparison: $86 million from Ireland and $84 million from Holland, while Canada came in with $44 million and France with only $40 million. The great advantage of the German financing was that the films could be produced anywhere, and that overwhelmingly meant production was done in the U.S. and Canada. Paramount Pictures was one of the first to exploit this source of German financing, when it raised $130 million to finance several films such as Mission: Impossible 2, but other studios quickly followed.
With the disappearance of much of the easy money from German funds a couple of years ago due to changes in their tax laws, American producers turned increasingly to the sale-leaseback possibilities in the U.K., with the result that foreign investment in British films increased by a staggering 85% in 2003. These of course required production of much of the work in Great Britain whereas there were exceptions, a great deal of the work actually did have to be done on-island. Hence much production work flowed from Canada and other countries to the British Isles, followed by many of the workers that had previously been employed in studios in those countries.
In addition to the Sale & Leaseback scheme allowed by Inland Revenue (the British tax authority), there are additional sources of tax credits and other revenues from local film boards. Tax laws keep evolving all the time, of course, giving Hollywood bean counters many sleepless nights. For instance, whereas the British government in the past supported both low budget films (defined in the Films Act 1985, Section 48, as those films budgeted at less than £15 million) as well as high budget productions (defined by Section 42 as more than £15 million) with tax relief, it may be restructuring the program to concentrate on just the higher-budget projects. Several loopholes have recently been closed, including an attempt by Disney to get credit for marketing costs as production expenditures.
The recent weakening of the U.S. dollar is of concern to the British industry. Clearly, we have to work hard to remain competitive, and keep the exchange rate in mind for our bids to American studios, notes Holben.
So, if youre interested in digital animation in London, pick your reason environment, talent or finances but by all means check out Soho. If you are looking for veddy British attitude or reticence, you will not find them here. What you will find is an eclectic mix of friendly and enthusiastic people and good cold beer.

Newspaper Digitization Project
With the generous support of the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, the Mahwah Museum is undertaking an ambitious project to work with the community to digitize our collection of newspaper clippings.
Why Newspapers?
For studying local history, newspapers are one of the best sources available. Day-by-day they tell stories of important events in people's lives, tragedies and disasters, politics and development, and the social and cultural life of Mahwah and the region surrounding it. An individual article can be interesting, but when you put together a large collection, it becomes something more. They help us to write the history of our towns.
We have a lot of newspapers in the Mahwah Museum's archive, both complete collections of local papers and individual articles. Clippings present a challenge — do we organize them by date or do we organize them by subject? What happens when more than one subject is discussed? How do we find articles that mention specific people? Digitizing the clippings — scanning them and describing them in a database, enables us to search, sort, and index them in ways that will make them far more useful for research.
Many of the archival collections at the Museum have large collections of clippings. Some, like the ones gathered by Howard Avery, focus on the activities of Mahwah Boy Scout Troop 50 and the Mahwah Board of Education. Others, collected by town historians Janet Brown and John Bristow, feature the early efforts of the Mahwah Historical Society, telling stories of the history of the township, the region, and the efforts to preserve them. Other collections may have a handful of clippings, obituaries, wedding announcements, or other events.
How Do You Digitize Them?
Scanning clippings on a flatbed scanner is the best method because it flattens the clipping and lights it evenly. But digital cameras, even those on cell phones and tablets, can get high quality images. Using a cell phone scanning app, like CamScanner, allows cropping and filtering that makes it easy to get a good image.
But scanning the clipping is only the first step. Just having a digital image doesn't help us find or organize the content of the clipping. For that we'll use a database program, entering some basic information about the clipping as well as adding subjects and indexing names and organizations.
The final step will be transcribing the clippings to make them text searchable. That's a long term goals, but for now, we just want to get them under control.
How Does the Newspaper Project Work?
If you are interested, or just want to learn more about it, come to one of the information meetings. There we will do a presentation on the project, show you what we are building, and the kinds of materials that we have.
We will also hold workshops where we teach new members how to participate, and where we work on the clippings. You can participate any way you like.
- Scanning or taking photographs of clippings
- Typing the descriptions of the clippings into the database
- Transcribing articles that others have scanned and described
- Helping check the work done by others for typos and other errors.
- Teaching and troubleshooting at workshops and presentations.
We would be happy to organize a special presentation/training for groups, whether scouts, clubs, classes, or other organizations. Just let us know!
Is this just for Mahwah history?
No! We are digitizing clippings from the Northwest Bergen County and Rockland County — including events in Ramsey, Suffern, Wyckoff, and other towns and boroughs. Many of the families who settled this area moved fluidly from town to town and we want to trace it all.
Do you have to be a Mahwah resident, or a member of the Museum?
No! We welcome any and all who are interested in participating.Do you want scans of clippings I own?
Yes! If you have clippings that cover local history, we would love to include them with the ones the Museum holds. Every little bit helps!
Who do I contact to join / learn more/ schedule a presentation?
Contact Hannah Wolfe, the project director, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Riverside Roost Redux is a remodel of the Riverside Roost in Willow Creek. This cute starter home needed a face lift and some extra space to accommodate a suddenly growing family, when four orphaned children were left in the care of their aunt and her wife. This remodel keeps the feel of the original home while adding interest and opportunities for the children.
Tag: Sims 4 remodel
#BnS104 – Unexpected Arrivals (Household)
Lúna and Saanvi Ásgeirsdóttir had purchased their Riverside Roost in Willow Creek with the thought it would only be the two of them in their family. However, tragedy fell on Saanvi's estranged sister and her husband, leaving her with three orphaned nieces and an orphaned nephew. Saanvi and Lúna immediately agreed to take in the children, despite having a house designed for little more than two; a home renovation later, the unexpected arrivals were able to come home to a family home.

Over the past six months, JSI has been helping grantees of the Advancing Partners and Communities (APC) project in Zimbabwe and Guyana build capacity to transform data into usable information through data visualization.
Data visualization is a powerful way to illustrate trends and outcomes, whether for routine program monitoring or telling success stories. But learning how to design great visualization products as part of routine monitoring, evaluation, or communications can seem daunting, particularly if your data visualization coach lives on another continent.
Through my experience conducting dozens of workshops and collaborating with teams around the world as part of APC's Local Capacity Initiative (LCI)* and other projects, I came up with a list of five tips for building visualization capacity remotely.
*The LCI was established by the U.S. Government in 2013 to strengthen the sustainability of national HIV and AIDS responses by increasing the advocacy capacity of local civil society organizations.

Protesters want smaller class sizes, new cash for Sask. schools
SASKATOON -- Protests are underway across Saskatchewan urging the government to revise its back-to-school plan.
People are gathering outside the Legislature, schools and MLA offices, calling for stricter protocols when schools reopen in September.
Some could be seen surrounding Education Minister Gord Wyant's office in Saskatoon.
Wyant announced Saskatchewan's back-to-school plan on Tuesday. He said the return to school would be "as normal as possible," with class sizes staying the same and no mandatory masking.
The Safe Schools Plan does not immediately impose mandatory masks or create smaller class sizes for when kids return to school. However, the province has ordered six million masks should they be required and would consider mandating masks in schools if the situation worsens.
Protesters say the new plan puts kids at risk and are calling for smaller class sizes and new funding for schools.
On Thursday, an email blitz was organized in which parents flooded Wyant's inbox with their concern over the plan.
Organizers of the blitz say more than 300 people sent emails to the minister.
