SIGGRAPH 2014 is pleased to announce the 41st annual Computer Animation Festival award recipients for Best in Show, Jury Award, Best Student Project, Best Animated Short, and Best Visual Effects, among others. More than 100 pieces will be shown during the Computer Animation Festival at the Vancouver Convention Centre, 10-14 August. The 2014 nominees were chosen by an expert panel of jury members from more than 450 submissions.

"Each piece that is in the Festival is truly something special on its own merit," said Jerome Solomon, SIGGRAPH 2014 Computer Animation Festival Director from Cogswell College. "There's no other stage in the world comparable to SIGGRAPH's Computer Animation Festival and this year we have added more categories which only enriches the diversity and richness of the show."
The Computer Animation Festival is recognized by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as a qualifying festival. Since 1999, several works originally presented in the Computer Animation Festival have been nominated for or have received a "Best Animated Short" Academy Award. This year's selections will be featured during the Computer Animation Festival through a series of Daytime Selects and the iconic Electronic Theater, allowing attendees to glimpse behind the magic of computer-generated effects, visualizations, and animations.
Box (United States)
Directed by Tarik Abdel-Gawad, Bot & Dolly
"Box" explores the synthesis of real and digital space through projection mapping on moving surfaces. The short film documents a first-ever live synchronized performance using 3D projection mapping, robots, and actors.
Paper World (Hungary)
Directed by Dávid Ringeisen, László Ruska, Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design
"Paper World" is an image film for the World Wildlife Fund Hungary where the values that WWF stands for become visible metaphorically on the level of a micro-world.
Home Sweet Home (France)
Directed by Pierre Clenet, Alejandro Diaz, Romain Mazenet, Stéphane Paccolat, Supinfocom Arles
A house uproots herself and goes on an adventure.
Wrapped (Germany)
Directed by Roman Kälin, Falko Paeper, Florian Wittmann, Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg
The deterioration of one is the foundation of another one's life. The world, with its never-ending interplay of eating and being eaten, takes on new dimensions when the unexpected forces of nature clash with the existing structures of our society. The only constant is change.
Gravity (United Kingdom)
Directed by Alfonso Cuarón, Esperanto Filmoj
VFX work submitted by Framestore, United Kingdom
"Gravity," this year's VFX Bafta and Oscar winner, turns filmmaking on its head. Rather than adding visual effects to a live-action plate, the film is around 80% computer generated, with the live-action elements (Sandra Bullock and George Clooney's faces), integrated seamlessly with their CG spacesuits and surroundings.
Kinematics (United States)
Directed by Jessica Rosenkrantz, Jesse Louis-Rosenberg, Nervous System
This video visualizes Kinematics, a system for designing and simulating flexible structures for 3D printing. Kinematics generates customized designs composed of 10s to thousands of hinged, interlocking modules. The designs are computationally folded using rigid-body physics into a smaller form for fabrication by 3D printing.
The Crew (France)
Directed by Maxime Luère, Dominique Boidin, Rémi Kozyra, Unit Image
The concept of this full-CGI trailer consists of juxtaposing the two worlds valued highly by car lovers: aesthetically pleasing advertisements and action scenes. The features of the game, such as the novelty of the multiplayer aspect and the feeling of freedom in an open world, are highlighted through this concept.
RYSE: Son of Rome (Germany)
Directed by Chris Evans, Peter Gornstein, Martin L'Heureux, Crytek
With Ryse, Crytek decided to focus on characters and emotion to serve the game and story. Ryse is an eight hour game with an additional 110-minutes of linear storytelling content. The submission shows gameplay and cutscenes, both utilize the same assets and can be rendered in real-time.
Three, The Pony (United Kingdom)
Directed by Dougal Wilson, Blink Productions
VFX work submitted by MPC
The pony's bouncy moves were created using a photo-real CG digital double and extensive R&D to translate human movement to a horse. The film cuts seamlessly between CG and real-life footage. Fur was created using MPC's Furtility tool, and environments were altered using compositing and matte painting.

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.

What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this album is much less silly than the song's on the band's previous CD ("Fun and Games" takes a jab at the American government and the present-day politics), but the Barenaked Ladies still manage to keep their wit and harmonic vocals intact. There's nary a swear word or anything that would make this album inappropriate for kids. One note: If you don't have iTunes on your computer, you'll have to download a fairly complex recording program called UmixIt just to listen to the CD. If you're tech-savvy, the program has a lot of cool effects. If not, you may not be able to even figure out how to play the songs.
User reviews
Parents say
Kids say
What's the story?
BARENAKED LADIES ARE MEN is the 11th album released by these offbeat, yet oft-introspective Canadian boys. With songs about the war and the pressures of creating good music, this album may be a little less lighthearted than their others. The guys take turns singing both lead and back-up vocals, which always give Barenaked Ladies some variety in their sound. \"Down to Earth\" is a quippy little tune about a woman who thinks her actions are as honest as her convictions: \"What's more ironic than a hippie in Versace?/It's all peace and love and limousines/You've got the right message but the wrong intentions.\"
Is it any good?
The standout song with a message on Barenaked Ladies Are Men is "Fun and Games." Parents can talk to their kids about the frank commentary on American politics and world issues such as war and the environment. The band is very clear about their beliefs: "It was a gag/It was all for a laugh/We knew your sons and daughters would be blown in half/We were just pulling legs." Regardless of one's political leanings, these lyrics are a great conversation starter.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about the lyrics in "Fun and Games." Why that title when the lyrics say things like "they were shocked and they were awed and they were blown in half"? What are they saying about the world? Is it effective to try to get your message out in a song? If you could write a song that spoke to your values, what would it say?

Advancing green growth is one of the most urgent challenges of our time. We need to use all of our knowledge to bring the private sector on board. If we fail to do this, we will fail to provide our citizens with adequate water, transport and energy infrastructure, and cause disastrous harm to our environment, said OECD Secretary-General

Enormous investments are required to transition towards green growth. Government policy action is often needed to unlock private investment in support of green growth. Lack of clarity and consistency in government commitments to environmental and climate policy is a key barrier. In addition, barriers to international trade and investment hamper green investment.

Because of the achievements of scientist Dr. Emmett Brown, and his revolutionary work within the field of time travel, you too can travel backwards or forward in the time stream to ensure your parents meet and fall in love, check up on your future kids or just get into a gunfight in the Old West. That's right, you can now have your own personal Flux Capacitor. The full-scale metal Capacitor powers up with a simple switch, and the lighted power source can be adjusted appropriately. You'll need 1.21 gigawatts to power time travel, but only three AA batteries to power the lights. It's not cheap to mess with the space-time continuum, but don't be a chicken and get one today.

Rutherford Institute resists persecution of Christians in Mexico
By Editorial Staff
Published December 1, 1992
CHIAPAS, Mexico (EP) – A complaint filed Oct. 29 by the Rutherford Institute of Latin America asked the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights to intervene on behalf of the Chamula Indians, who face persecution by local and regional authorities in the Mexican state of Chiapas because of their evangelical Christian beliefs.
"It is shocking that at this point in history and in a country like Mexico this type of violence and persistent persecution would take place on the basis of religious beliefs," said Pedro Moreno, director of the Rutherford Institute of Latin America.
Since August, 78 families and 394 individuals from 17 communities have been expelled by local authorities. Those expelled have been forced to become refugees in neighboring states.
Since that time, the district attorney in San Cristobal De Las Casas has received 48 complaints reporting illegal imprisonment, thefts, rapes and murder attempts against the Chamula Indians. Only 18 of these 48 complaints are currently being handled.
According to Moreno, acts of persecution against the Chamula Indians has been ongoing for 15 years. The Chamula Indians appealed to authorities, ranging from local officials to the Mexican government, for help.
"The suffering of the Chamula Indians has gone on far too long and we believe it can be stopped, especially since solutions have been found in other regions of Mexico," said Moreno.

The Abortion Matrix: Defeating Child Sacrifice and the Culture of Death (DVD)
Download the free Study Guide!
Is there a connection between pagan religion and the abortion industry?
This powerful presentation traces the biblical roots of child sacrifice and then delves into the social, political and cultural fall-out that this sin against God and crime against humanity has produced in our beleaguered society.
Conceived as a sequel and update to the 1988 classic, The Massacre of Innocence, the new title, The Abortion Matrix, is entirely fitting. It not only references abortion's specific target – the sacred matrix where human beings are formed in the womb in the very image of God, but it also implies the existence of a conspiracy, a matrix of seemingly disparate forces that are driving this holocaust.
The occult activity surrounding the abortion industry is exposed with numerous examples. But are these just aberrations, bizarre yet anomalous examples of abortionists who just happen to have ties to modern day witchcraft? Or is this representative of something deeper, more sinister and even endemic to the entire abortion movement?
As the allusion to the film of over a decade ago suggests, the viewer may learn that things are not always as they appear to be. The Abortion Matrix reveals the reality of child-killing and strikes the proper moral chord to move hearts to fulfill the biblical responsibility to rescue those unjustly sentenced to death and to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves (Proverbs 24:11,12; 31:8,9).
Speakers include: George Grant, Peter Hammond, RC Sproul Jr., Paul Jehle, Lou Engle, Rusty Thomas, Flip Benham, Janet Porter and many more.

Dr. Francis Schaeffer - How Should We Then Live? (DVD)
Special Two-Disc Set!
After 40 years of intense study and world-wide ministry, Dr. Francis Schaeffer completed his crowning work of scholarship – to present profound truths in simple film language. Dr. Schaeffer's brilliant analysis of the past and predictions for current trends have proven so uncannily accurate that this amazing series still feels contemporary almost three decades after its initial release. Ultimately, Schaeffer concludes that man's only hope is a return to God's Biblical absolute, the truth revealed in Christ through the Scriptures.
Available for the first time on DVD, this documentary spectacular also includes intimate in-depth conversations with Francis and Edith Schaeffer. With the on-disc study guide, this presentation forms a unique course of comprehensive study. While this series forms an innovative analysis of the past, this outstanding work is more than history. Each episode focuses on a significant era, yet speaks clearly to 21st-century man with answers for modern problems.

The Beast of Revelation: Identified (DVD)
Who is the dreaded beast of Revelation?
Now at last, a plausible candidate for this personification of evil incarnate has been identified (or re-identified). Ken Gentry's insightful analysis of scripture and history is likely to revolutionize your understanding of the book of Revelation — and even more importantly — amplify and energize your entire Christian worldview!
Historical footage and other graphics are used to illustrate the lecture Dr. Gentry presented at the 1999 Ligonier Conference in Orlando, Florida. It is followed by a one-hour question and answer session addressing the key concerns and objections typically raised in response to his position. This presentation also features an introduction that touches on not only the confusion and controversy surrounding this issue — but just why it may well be one of the most significant issues facing the Church today.
Ideal for group meetings, personal Bible study — for anyone who wants to understand the historical context of John's famous letter "… to the seven churches which are in Asia." (Revelation 1:4)

Massacre of Innocence (DVD)
Exposing The Occult Roots of Abortion
This presentation looks at the spiritual roots of abortion and exposes the myths surrounding child killing. Little known historical facts about abortion and how they relate to modern feminism are presented logically and accurately. Has been effective in converting many to a pro-life position.
Massacre of Innocence goes where no pro-life presentation has gone before in "tearing the lid off abortion" to reveal the spiritual realities we must battle if we will bring an end to this crime. The presentation is absorbing, fast-paced, informative and incredibly devastating to any attempt to justify abortion.
"… an extraordinary statement … a powerfully articulate presentation about what abortion really means, and why a great and moral nation like the United States must not allow the slaughter to continue."

Audio engineer Richard Gough is the latest in a roster of high profile Front-of-House engineers who are investing in DPA d:facto™ II Vocal Microphones for use with big name recording clients.
Gough has been using d:facto Vocal Microphones supplied by DPA's UK distributor Sound Network with a number of artists. One of these is Conor Maynard who has tried the microphone in the studio for small live recordings, and in a broadcast setting for live TV performances including one for SBTV and another for ITV2's Xtra Factor.
"Maynard is still quite fresh and new to the music industry," Gough explains, "so I didn't really expect him to notice using different mics on his own vocal. But after using the d:facto for about ten shows in a row, there were a couple of TV performances where we had to use another brand of wireless mic and he instantly noticed the difference. He wasn't happy with the amount of 'pop' or the 'booming' in the low end that these other microphones were giving. It was a noticeable difference for him."
Also impressive for Gough has been the way DPA's d:facto Vocal Microphone performs, even d when used in an unconventional way.
"Conor 'cups' the mic, like a rapper," he explains, "and this distorts the polar pattern of the mic. But noticeably with the d:facto, this doesn't seem to matter too much. I still get plenty of gain before feedback in my side fills, so his vocal is there if his ears fail. This is one of the most impressive things about the mic. It has such a smooth response and gives lovely warm lows without 'popping' and 'booming'."
Gough's criteria for an ideal mic are build quality, sound quality, gain before feedback, and adaptability. DPA's d:facto vocal Microphone possesses all of these attributes, he says, and is adaptable too, with the ability to change the capsule with just a few turns.
"The d:facto Vocal Microphone makes my job so easy: previously I was always using the parametric EQ to get rid of little things I didn't like the sound of, which I now realize were down to the old mic. Now I'm leaving it completely flat, just high-passing to about 125Hz. It couldn't be simpler: I add a compressor to the channel, with a nice reverb and I'm done."
Gough has been using DPA d:facto Vocal Microphones in several tiny venues recently and says its performance "was amazing". Artists he has used it with include Conor Maynard, Sivu and the band Kowalski – with Lauryn Hill possibly next in line.
"She is such a stickler for her IEMs and wedges sounding great but also being very loud," he explains, "so that's going to be my next d:facto challenge."
Equally at home in sound reinforcement and recording applications, DPA's high quality d:facto II Vocal Microphone is designed to offer extraordinary natural sound, high separation from nearby sound sources and extreme sound level handling. Its supercardioid pattern and superb definition gives high separation and true sound colour on stage. A three-stage pop protection grid built into the microphone removes unwanted noise.
The d:facto Vocal Microphone provides improved audio performance as it is linear in frequency and phase, both on- and off-axis, while its impressive definition and accuracy reproduces a singer's voice effortlessly. The flexibility of its adapter system gives the user simple and affordable possibilities of choosing either a wired DPA handle or the professional wireless system of their choosing, with no loss in sound quality.
About Richard GoughOriginally from Northern Ireland, Gough has toured with the likes of Muse, Radiohead, Van Morrison and Sigur Ros. He runs his own company, Noiseboi, and has recently worked with Lauryn Hill as Production Manager and Monitor Engineer and Conor Maynard as Monitor Engineer.

LONDON — Small stands are being built outside the Lindo Wing of St. Mary's Hospital in central London in anticipation of a royal birth.
Major media outlets are seeking positions outside the building where Prince William and his wife Kate are expecting their first child to be born in mid-July.
The goal is to be in place to photograph and film the couple's departure from the hospital with their infant.
The hospital said in a statement Tuesday that services to its patients will not be disrupted and that the buildings will remain accessible despite the anticipated crowds.
The child will become third in line to the British throne.

Affordable medical insurance launched via Safaricom
VALUE ADDED SERVICES| Jan. 23, 2014, 4:48 p.m.
Safaricom limited, Britam and Changamka Micro-insurance have jointly launched an affordable micro-insurance health cover which will widen the bracket of the population with access to medical insurance.
The health insurance product known as Linda Jamii is an affordable and comprehensive medical cover that will provide a family premium cover at an annual subscription of KES12, 000 for a cover valued at KES 290,000.
The cover will cater for in and out patient, maternity, dental, optical, a hospitalisation income replacement benefit of Kshs.500 per day to take care of lost income while in hospital and in the case of death, funeral expenses.
Linda Jamii has adopted a micro-saving model which will use M-PESA as the premium collection platform. Through M-PESA, one can pay premiums in installments and can access partial benefits after accumulating KES 6,000 in contributions.
"Kenya has for a long time been accused of lacking a culture of adopting insurance. However we believe that the real reason that 97% of the population caters for their medical expenses out of pocket, is because of the cost of insurance premiums. Therefore, Linda Jamii is to medical insurance what M-PESA is to financial services. They both promote inclusion," said Safaricom CEO Bob Collymore.
Statistics indicate that only 3 percent of the Kenyan population has health insurance-mainly employer based policy- meaning about 38.8 million Kenyans have no health insurance.
"Linda Jamii has been tailor made to ease the medical burden particularly for people working in the informal sector. This product will enable them to access medical care in more than 600 hospitals countrywide and our goal is to grow that to 1000 by mid this year," said Britam's Group MD Benson Wairegi.
The idea of Linda Jamii was conceived by Changamka which recognized that many Kenyans were being locked out of the medical cover bracket by the cost of the medical packages on offer.
"The vast majority of the Kenyan population does not have a steady income. Subsequently, they cannot afford the premiums of existing medical covers which in essence leaves quality healthcare as the reserve of a privileged few. The introduction of Linda Jamii is therefore meant to fill this gap and shatter this medical cover glass ceiling thus allowing more Kenyans to access and enjoy better healthcare," said Changamka CEO, Sam Agutu.
One can register for Linda Jamii in all Safaricom shops, Uchumi and Postbank outlets as well as select M-PESA agents countrywide. The policy covers persons from age 18-75 years at entry, children under 18 years are also covered through their parents.

I've used this plugin on several sites so far and I'm consistently impressed with it. Support and documentation are good too. There are a few things I'd wish for, but this is a fantastic free plugin.
In my opinion, while I had tested various other plug-ins that create a custom post types and fields, this plug-in is the most feature rich and user-friendly plug-in on the market.
hi, the problem is when i create a custom field with date type, and i want display in the fronted ej: get_post_meta($postid, 'wpcf-date', true)
the result is: 1442131200
for: sept 15 2015 / 9:00
Je l'utilise sur tous mes sites. Merci
It doesn't get any easier than this! I just wish there were more options for removing the post type from the URL.
best plugin for creating custom post type and custom taxonomy.
best plugin for creating custom post type and custom taxonomy.
It works as advertized, is easy to use, and is very flexible.
Until you try to upgrade, that is. Then it says it's not possible to upgrade because I need to buy. Has been like this now for 3 weeks or so and it is very annoying to have the "upgrade" warning constantly there and not being able to do anything about it, and if I am to upgrade I need to purchase the full version.
It's OK to have a non-free software, but not when you advertise it as free.
EDIT: You can now register (either it was not possible before, or I didn't see how to do it) - which makes it work exactly as advertised. Fantastic tool which makes working with taxonomies easy and flexible, deserves 5 stars!
Works like a charm and reduces significant development time. Great plugin!

Mr. Mitch interview: "Everything I do I call grime."
How the south London producer wants to show you what grime can do.
The south London grime all-rounder delivers some big, maximalist sounds on his upcoming single.
Published: 03/08/12
Mr. Mitch has already shown his ability to tread the stranger edges of grime with releases but this latest single sees him reign in his experimentation to create two tracks that channel his distinct sound into more straightforward instrumentals. Tash Wax begins with a synth-line reminiscent of early Roll Deep (something MIK picks up on his freestyle over the beat) before it kicks into rhythm and the brawny Superfreak does something similar by taking choral vocals as the introduction to a explosion of Gothic bass and stuttering drums. Simple and strong, it is a more direct but no less rewarding listen from the producer.

The post Did We Say "July Rocks!" ? appeared first on Sheri & Bill.]]>
Which brings us to the annual GCS (Gwinnett Council for Seniors) Summer Party. Held this week, this was our 3rd year Emcee-ing this event, and we have to say "Repeat business rocks!" It let's us know we are doing a good job of satisfying our clients!
As in the past 2 years, the event was packed: almost 200 attendees through advance sales, and just a few seats short of a full house. Sponsorship is always important for this event, and Humana stepped up as this year's event Sponsor.
To make this Calypso Caribbean Party fun and fresh, we brought in Nicholas Mohan, "The PanMan" (an accomplished steel drum pianist originally from Trinidad), the Annandale Choir to perform a rousing rendition of "California Girl", and our friends Paul & Dot Hutchison, dance instructors who choreographed and performed a beautiful foxtrot to our latest single "Better With You".
Crowd interaction is a must at this annual Party, so we included dance, limbo and hula hoop contests…and "Bikini Bill's" surprise appearance was also a "bawdy success". A catered lunch, Calypso Caribbean Trivia and door prizes donated by GCS Patrons, along with a few CDs from Sheri & Bill and from The PanMan topped off the event, providing further enticements to motivate the crowd.
We loved the instant and positive feedback we received from both GCS staff and attendees, along with several folks interested in booking us for other events. Some favorite comments are:
• "Great party – even better than last year!"
• "We came because we heard you two were performing!"
• "You make us feel good – we will definitely be back next year!"
And with a request already in hand to book us for next year's Party the 3rd Thursday July 2017, we are confident this event was a success all around! "We duet….better as we go, Sheri & Bill"

The post More July Music In the Air – GSL Summer BBQ appeared first on Sheri & Bill.]]>
We entertained the crowd of 80-100 with a fun mix of medleys we created–favorite artists who have influenced us both–topped off with some of our original tunes. We included "The Fabric of Her Life" (which ranked #35 on the "Music Review Top 40 Chart" for June 2016, as rated by 100 Independent Radio Stations), "Better With You" which we just released end of April (you can hear both songs on our Music Page) , plus our brand new song "Missing You" that we will be recording in September.
We received enthusiastic applause all around during our performance. Further crowd feedback at the end of our show gave us a definite "thumbs up" vote from several folks for "Missing You" Yeah! We happily sold some CDs to new fans and then packed up Tune Buggy for the short ride home.
Now it's time to put on our creative thinking hats as we finalize details for our next performance: The Gwinnett Council For Seniors annual Calypso Caribbean Party which we will be singing and Emceeing on Thursday! If you are 50+ this is a fun event — our third year Emceeing — tickets are $10 on line and $15 at the door.
We are in the business of sharing the joy of music, and making more friends along the way!
We duet…better as we go! Sheri & Bill

The post July Music at the Market "Rocks"! appeared first on Sheri & Bill.]]>
Snellville Farmers Market has been a happy place for us this summer. Both Audience enjoyment and Vendor appreciation of our music continue to more than offset the 90 plus degree Georgia temperatures that greet us at 8:30 in the morning!
Visiting once a month, our July visit fell on the July 4th weekend, so we adorned our red, white and blue, and included some well received Americana and Patriotic tunes in honor of Independence Day.
We chatted with friends from previous visits, made new friends, greeted folks visiting from out of town, and sold a few CDs. We kept toes tapping and bodies swaying and folks humming, as they visited all the vendors at the Snellville Market.
While we were too busy making music to shop, we happily came home with gifts of local raw honey (Snellville Honey) and Pineapple Pecan Loaf Bread (Legacy Bakers)…sort of like singing for our supper!
Later that day, after Market closing, Market Staff posted that several of their longtime vendors said it may have been their best Market ever. To us they said "we were tapping a toe, and whistling along with your song choices today….you folks ROCK!" Yup…we definitely like making music at the Market! We Duet…better as we go! Sheri & Bill

The post "The Fabric of Her Life" is Charting! appeared first on Sheri & Bill.]]>
Our music is being played around the world! Our original song "The Fabric of Her Life" which is also being distributed on Canadian American's "Winter Worldwide Radio Singles" CD charted at #35 on the "Music Review – Top Independent Country Songs" for June 2016, as ranked by over 100 Country Radio Stations!
And with CD distribution to over 9,000 radio stations (released mid February), we love getting word that our music is being played on stations in many countries including Korea, Japan, England, Netherlands, Canada, England, Australia, and of course the U.S.!
Thanks to all our friends who continue to encourage us on our musical journey!
We duet….better as we go! Sheri & Bill

The post Musical Journey–We're On Our Way! appeared first on Sheri & Bill.]]>
Finding ways to connect with our audience is always an important part of our performance. We sang several medleys we created of favorite artists songs, —some of the very artists who inspired and influenced the creation of our original music.
Then we showcased some of our original tunes, and as always, we told the story of each original song's creation. For this performance we sang "Better With You" which we just released in April, "Missing You" which we will be recording this fall, and "Filled With Love" our newest tune and first time performed.
We always take time after performing to talk to as many folks as we can. Not only does it provide us with a further opportunity to send some of our music home with new friends and old friends (Buy our Music), but we also receive valuable audience feedback that helps us to improve future performances.
And we promise, Frank, next time we will perform you favorite "Sheri & Bill" tune "Fabric of Her Life"! We duet….better as we go! Sheri & Bill

The post Need A Hero? We've Got Some! appeared first on Sheri & Bill.]]>
The Greek term "hero" was a demigod super hero, capable of saving us from imagined monster like evils of the world. However, today's heroes are very real role models, reminding us that we are made of the same stuff as they, and with a bit of a stretch, we can emulate them, and surely accomplish whatever we set out to do.
While we spend the majority of our time singing, entertaining and recording, we also spend time connecting with our community. The 30th Annual Gwinnett Council for Seniors Awards Luncheon this year reminds us how many heroes we truly have living in our community…those seniors who go above and beyond every day to help make our community a better place! We congratulate all the 2016 Volunteer Awards Ceremony Winners…thanks for all you do!
On a different note, this event ends our third year as GCS Partners and as Co-Chairs of the Senior Health and Wellness Committee and Board Members. But we will still stay connected and support GCS: as Gold Patrons instead, we will attend the monthly meetings, entertain and sing at GCS events, as well as many events of their members clubs and organizations around the community.
In fact, hope GCS Summer Calypso Caribbean Celebration is coming up Thursday July 21st 10:30 am at Bethesda Park Senior Center! Early Bird Tickets are only $10 each! (Gwinnett Council For Seniors) See you there! We Duet….Better As We Go! Sheri & Bill

The post Celebrating The Chronologically Gifted! appeared first on Sheri & Bill.]]>
May is "Older Americans" month…while this is definitely not our favorite "label" for seniors, it still provided the perfect moment to celebrate the "chronologically gifted" among us! Back by "popular demand", we ("Sheri & Bill) emceed Gwinnett County Parks & Recreation's annual "Seniors Got Talent Variety Show" …We love it!
Event sponsor, Amy Stanitzke of Garden Plaza of Lawrenceville, provided treats and prizes for the top 3 audience favorites, and extended an invitation to everyone, to come for lunch and visit their wonderful facilities.
This year's show gave us the opportunity to showcase two of our newest original tunes, "Missing You" which we will be recording in September, and "Better With You" just released last week. Both songs were a hit, and many folks came to us after the show to find out how they can purchase them, as well as where we will be performing next!
And the variety show participants offered up a complete smorgasbord of talent! From Flamenco dancer, to guitar singer with harmonica backup, Vietnamese Mariachi band, a variety of singers, a storyteller with tall tales, lovely ballroom dancers and a traditional Asian dancer, we had it all! In our book, everyone was a winner! "We duet….better as we go!" Sheri & Bill

Lil Wayne Begins His Year-Long Jail Term
Rapper Lil Wayne has begun a year-long prison term after a string of delays postponed his sentencing for weapons possession, stemming from a 2007 arrest. The "Lollipop" hitmaker, real name Dwayne Carter, pleaded guilty in 2009 to attempted criminal possession of a weapon, and admitted having a loaded 40-caliber semiautomatic gun on his tour bus.
He was initially expected to be sentenced to a year behind bars in February, but he was granted a postponement to undergo dental surgery. The hearing was delayed again on March 2, after a blaze in the basement of the courthouse forced officials to evacuate the building and close it down for the rest of the day.
The rapper was finally sentenced at Manhattan Criminal Court on Monday, March 8, and taken away in handcuffs to begin his term at an undisclosed city jail immediately. According to the Associated Press, the Grammy winner's lawyer plans to ask for protective custody out of concern for Wayne's safety and health following his dental surgeries. He could be released in about eight months with good behavior.

In Praise of the Less Attractive Siblings
It's got to be rough to be the brother or sister (or even half bro/sis) of a star who's way more movie-star gorgeous than you are--but at least that scenario generally helps you build character. I've come to love the following famous sibs because I always favor the underdog, especially in show biz where every weird facial feature will cost you a million at the box office.
I'll list them along with the rude comments they've no doubt had to endure since entering the public arena:
Beau Bridges. "What does Jeff say about you? 'He aint heavy, he's my brother'?"
Randy Quaid. "Wait, you're Dennis's brother? Was there some mixup at birth?"

Editor's note: This is one in a series on Book of Mormon translations and translators.
An article titled "Translation and Transculturation in the Pacific," by Lowell Bishop and Bruce Van Orden, part of a collection in the book "Pioneers in the Pacific," details the struggles of getting the Book of Mormon translated for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Pacific Islands and Southeast Asia. The Philippines provide a prime example of years-long work.
The largest problem to overcome for many islands, especially the Philippines, was the permeating assumption that the members could get by on English.
"The Filipino Saints themselves kept the misconception alive since many believed that for them to serve in the church they must be able to speak and read in English," the article says.
It took a great deal of time and team effort to get the complete Book of Mormon and other church materials translated into Philippine languages. Bishop and Van Orden cited the 1981 announcement of the Manila Philippines Temple as a turning point.
"Realizing they would be expected to enter into sacred, binding covenants in a language they did not fully understand, the people began pleading for translation into at least three of the 14 major languages in spoken in their country."
"English is the most widely spoken and written language in the Philippines, but Tagalog has gained status as the national language," the LDS Church News reported in 1988, explaining the reasoning for the church's push for a Tagalog translation.
The Deseret News 2007 Church Almanac lists 1987 and 1988 as publishing dates for the partial text, with the complete Book of Mormon being published in 1998.
Selections of the Book of Mormon were published in Cebuano, another Filipino language, in 1992 and the full edition also was published in 1998.
Because of remote locations, combined with the complexity and amount of languages spoken in the islands, some translations, like Tagalog, took more time than European languages. But Bishop and Van Orden identified the misconstrued assumption about using English materials as the largest challenge.
The article quoted Elder John H. Groberg, popular Pacific Island missionary known for his work in Tonga, from a 1992 Ensign article, "City of Angels."
"Our prime role is not to teach people English or how to become American," Groberg said. "Gospel standards and the message of the Atonement and the Restoration don't vary from language to language."
