Singler, a critic of the company's activities in Liberia, says, "Over the years, Firestone developed a tradition of taking from Liberia, but virtually no tradition of giving to the country, least of all to the thousands of [rubber] tappers whose labor it used." An attorney who once represented Firestone in Liberia, Gerald Padmore, a Liberian and a former deputy finance minister under Tolbert, disputes that the nation got nothing out of the relationship. "The initial deal in 1926 was highly favorable to Firestone, but the Firestone investment was useful for both Liberia and the United States," he says. In any event, rubber became the nation's main cash crop, and Liberia became one of the world's leading suppliers of the material.
In 1942, the U.S. military built RobertsInternationalAirport in Monrovia to serve the Allies' North Africa campaign and, in 1944, began constructing a shipping center, Freeport, also in Monrovia. Franklin Roosevelt's visit to Liberia in 1943 confirmed, for many Liberians, the nation's close ties to the United States. About 5,000 U.S. troops were stationed in Liberia during World War II.
After the war, Liberia's rubber industry boomed, thanks in part to new agreements with Firestone and investment by the United States, which gave millions to agricultural development and construction of roads, hospitals and municipal buildings. By the early 1970s, Liberia was also the world's 11th largest producer of iron ore. Liberia, says Newman Ham, was trying to make itself "into a modern nation, able to compete on some level with the world economy."
But the source of revenue for which Liberia is perhaps best known today is registering foreign ships, a practice that began after World War II. Flying a Liberian "flag of convenience" assures shippers low fees and taxes and minimal regulation. Liberia claims the world's second largest commercial fleet, behind Panama, with some 2,000 registered ships generating $18 million annually. But the program has prompted controversy. In 2000, the U.N. accused Taylor of using registry revenue to facilitate the flow of illegal arms to guerrillas in Sierra Leone. The International Transport Workers' Federation has called upon shippers to register fleets elsewhere.
Liberia would endure its own version of African nationalism. While other African nations sought to extricate themselves from colonial rulers, ethnic Liberians sought greater control of their affairs. In 1944, President William Tubman, who is generally considered to have been progressive, opened the legislature to tribal representatives for the first time. In 1951, women—though only Americo women— voted in their first presidential election. Tubman's Unification Policy, claims Padmore, "was a genuine effort to open the country up so that the leadership of the country reflected the diversity of the people." William Tolbert, a Baptist minister who assumed the presidency upon Tubman's death in 1971, went further and included tribal leaders in local and national governments. But indigenous people still didn't have a full say. Tolbert's liberalization was opposed by the settler-run True Whig Party, then Liberia's only political party, which had ruled virtually unchallenged since 1869. Most party leaders still viewed the indigenous population as untutored masses to be brought gradually into line. "Even though things were opening up, they were still far from reconciliation," says Newman Ham.
The conflict exploded into the open in April 1979, after Tolbert's administration proposed an increase in the price of rice. When protesters demonstrated, Tolbert called out the army and the police, who killed 41 people and injured about 400. Rioting and anarchy ensued in Monrovia, part of what Newman Ham describes as an outbreak of "rebellion and overthrow." In April 1980, a master sergeant in the Liberian Army, Samuel K. Doe, a member of the Krahn ethnic group, led a small band into the executive mansion and killed Tolbert in his bed. They rounded up 13 top Americo leaders and executed them on a Monrovia beach. Doe, not yet 30, thus ended 133 years of Americo-Liberian political domination. In October 1985, he emerged the winner of a special election for president, which many considered fraudulent.
Dunn, who had functioned in Tolbert's cabinet and had been out of the country at the time of the coup, returned to Liberia hoping the new government would bring about reforms. "It became clear in a few months that this wasn't going to happen," Dunn recalls. Instead, Doe turned into a ruthless dictator. "Far from seeking to right the wrongs, it quickly turned into a revolution of entitlement," says Joseph Saye Guannu, a historian at the University of Liberia and a former ambassador to the United States. "Power was there to be personally enjoyed. Soldiers began to run around in Mercedes Benz cars." Thousands of Americos, including Dunn, fled the country, with many ending up in the United States.
To the bewilderment of the settler community, the U.S. government provided some $500 million to the Doe administration from 1981 to 1985. Chester Crocker, assistant secretary of state for African affairs under Reagan, says today that the aid had been promised by the Carter administration and that Reagan officials simply tried to make the best of a bad situation. "The United States had an obligation to Liberia," Crocker says. "It had vested intelligence and commercial interests and an infrastructure there, and cutting off aid could lead to regional destabilization and increasing Soviet and Libyan involvement."
Dunn, too, suggests that the aid was part of a larger U.S. effort to prevent Soviet influence, recalling that the USSR had an embassy in Monrovia, and Liberia had made overtures to Castro's Cuba. "This was in the midst of the cold war," Dunn adds. "The United States was concerned that if it didn't support this fledgling government, the country could veer to the left." But Doe's well-financed military could not staunch growing public dissatisfaction with his regime. In 1985, a former ally, Thomas Quiwonkpa, mounted an unsuccessful coup and was subsequently killed. Then, on December 24, 1989, Charles Taylor, Doe's former procurement chief and the leader of the National Patriotic Front of Liberia, launched an assault from Côte d'Ivoire.
Within six months, Taylor had gained control of much of the country, except Monrovia, where the Economic Community of West African States intervened and prevented the capture of the city. In September 1990, Doe was executed by guerrilla forces loyal to warlord Prince Johnson, who had split with Taylor. West African peacekeeping forces established an interim government in Monrovia, but Taylor's rebellion devolved into ethnic conflicts among tribal factions. (Intertribal strife, in fact, would play an increasingly large role in destabilizing the nation.) Over the next six years, an estimated 200,000 Liberians, most of them descendants of indigenous groups, died of malnutrition, diseases, injuries or wounds stemming from the civil war. Hundreds of peacekeepers lost their lives. Dozens of conferences were held in an effort to impose peace. In 1997, there were national elections, monitored by a group representing West African nations and other observers. By then, Liberians, weary of the fighting, feared that Taylor would make the country ungovernable if he lost. He won in a landslide.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

1. Pick a number, any number...and call that your "hourly rate". Make it high-ish so that if they don''t immediately end the conversation and you find you''ve agreed to do it that you don''t mind doing it for that much. $100 per hour is too "round"...they won''t buy it. Go for $79 per hour, or $112 per hour. Make it look like you put some thought into it. If necessary, justify the number with your "years of specialized experience."
2. Pick another number, higher than the first. This one can be more "round", but not *too* round. That is your minimum number of billable hours. If you take this project, this number times the first number is how much you want to be paid *at least* for having done the job. You''re not promising to do it for that much, because who can tell how long a project will take?
3. Pick one last number. The complete randomness of this number dwarfs the other two you''ve already pulled out of...thin air. Pull out all the stops. Make this a Truly Random Number. Now multiply it by 5. Go ahead and double the result of that for good measure, and then declare that your "estimate of the number of hours it will take you to do this project." It''s not like *they* have any idea how long it should take. Who''s the expert here, anyway?
Addendum: If this is corporate client (a Big Company), multiply all the above numbers by at least 10 before presenting them. Also, you might consider telling them that you''ll need at least a staff of 5 (paid at the same rate, which you''ll keep 2/3''s of) to complete the project in the timeline you''ve given.
Good luck!

Now my question is, does that actually work? It made me laugh, but does it work on things having to do with getting hired?

Be VAGUE. Don't actually commit to anything, but agree with everything they tell you in non-commital terms. ie. "I understand what you're saying"; or "I can see where that could make sense"; or (my favorite) "Um-Hm" Don't actually tell them anything that they didn't tell you first...this works best if you can quote what "that other" VP told you. Make certain that you haven't actually committed to produce anything identifiable by any date prior to 6 moths after you've left. Then if it fails..ask them what happened and act surprised about some random (and seemlingly insignificant) things. You can then blame any failure on the fact that THEY didn't expalin those things to you before. Alternately you can blame it on the fact that THEY didn't understand what you have outlined for them to do (and since you left nothing in writing..."Prove me wrong...*I'M the expert here*"). You can then volunteer to help them out "at a discounted rate" (say 75% of your previous rate) but that you'll have to "squeeze it in with your other projects (ie when you feel like doing it - and remotely too) or...if they feel its a priority (to save their jobs) you can "reschedule some things" and be out there ASAP...but you'll have to charge twice your previous rate. Don't explain anything (i.e. reasons), and don't commit to actually making anything actually work...just that you'll come back out and "take a look"..the funny thing is they'll keep paying...
Repeat as necessary (until you can retire to your private Yacht with a crew of Bikini Bunnies)

if a company (say...EA?) can afford to pay contractors that much and make money think how much money they must be earning. You can earn a lot of money as a contractor, but to really rake in the readies i always say you need to own the product.
The bloke who invented ringpulls (for coke cans etc) apparently got a licence fee paid for x number of years for each one they manufactured. needless to say he is a happy, wealthy man. Charging a huge hourly rate is cool (believe me ive done it, it makes your day seem so much nicer ) but even cooler is to wake up, check your email and think "aha, ive earned another $500 while i am asleep". Not that this happens to me yet.
remember.....capitalism is about owning the means of production, distribution and exchange...... now who was it who said that?

Just make sure you give them the price after you know exactly what they want. Then I would suggest giving them a flat out price instead of hourly stuff. Make sure you don''t jip yourself though. What may sound like a lot to you may not be so much to them. They need to understand that as the number of features goes up, so does the price. You sound like you have a good head on your shoulders, use your judgement.

My husband and myself spent the weekend at the Beacon House Inn. It was a wonderful romantic getaway. The Inn is very clean and the room was very comfortable. The breakfast was so, so delicious! Mike is an amazing cook. We will definitely return.
4.0 on August 11, 2016
Charming place with gracious hosts. Breakfast was always interesting and delicious. Mike is an outstanding cook. Very short walk to the beach, and the boardwalk was also within walking distance. Mike, Heather and Jeanette were on spot with restaurant and other recommendations.
4.8 on July 04, 2016
This place is charming! Situated across the street from the beach and just closest enough to all activities. Mike and Heather offer up and outstanding breakfast to start your day. Clean quaint and relaxing!
5 on July 01, 2016
The Beacon House Inn was one of the best B&B's we've stayed at. Loved the great vintage decor with modern amenities, and you walk literally less than a minute across the street to the beach (there are houses across the street from the B&B, but the beach is just on the other side). Free private parking on site. The best part? THE YUMMY BREAKFASTS!!! All FRESH and artfully crafted, and so tasty!! We stayed in the Traveller Room, and it was fine for us in the full-size (and comfy) bed, really. For this room, a private bathroom was across the hall, but we of course knew this beforehand, and it was so much like a home this was not a problem at all. We had no problems with noise or privacy. The other rooms have a private bath within. Heather gave us a list of recommended restaurants and local attractions. The historic Burgwin-Wright House in nearby Wilmington was a nice tour, as was the town. Michael's Seafood restaurant not far from the B&B was great. We walked to the boardwalk one evening, got pizza (Frank's), and ate on the boardwalk. We could tell that Mike & Heather are passionate about creating a great vibe here, and this place far exceeded our expectations. Sit in the living area a while and read a bit about Carolina Beach history and art. Check out some of their personal decor. Sit on either upper or lower level porch. Books all around to read. Delicious gourmet coffee included (omg, thank you!!) Cookies or other tasty treats later in the day. Quaint, vintage, modern, cool, and 'home away from home' all truly sums up this gem of a B&B. We really loved our stay here.
4.0 on June 16, 2016
The Beacon House is historic and cozy. The breakfast made by the owner's was a great delight and surprise...I tried to rate it "outstanding" but the bubble wouldn't light up on this page. We had crepes! We had crust-less quiche! We had creme fresh even! I wanted a room away from the extended-family rental house to retreat to...and this was perfect. Easy walking distance to the beach, and to yoga. I will return.
4.4 on June 06, 2016
The beacon is an amazing bed and breakfast and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a friendly, inviting, and overall amazing place to relax on your vacation. I will definitely be visiting in the future.
5 on June 06, 2016
We were given a stay at the Beacon House for our 25th wedding anniversary. We are life time Caroline Beach visitors but had never stayed there. It exceeded our expectations. The couple who own and run the Beacon House, Mike and Heather are warm, friendly and inviting and Mike is one heck of a cook, the breakfast were amazing. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
4.6 on June 06, 2016
Great place to stay, Great place to eat, and Great hosts (GGG), will definitely go back again... Thanks Mike & Heather :-)
4.0 on June 01, 2016
We had a wonderful stay at the Beacon House. We stayed in one of the pet friendly cottages and were very pleased. Mike and Heather go out of their way to make you and your pet feel welcomed. Upon our arrival, they even had pick up baggies, wipes, a towel, water/food bowls and treats left for our pup. It was a convenient walk to the beach. We will be back. I think next time we will board the pup and stay in the Inn itself so we can take advantage of the breakfast.

Heather is a trip, so friendly and inviting, within 2 minutes we knew she was someone we'd love to hang out on the front porch with and have drinks, maybe next time, haha. She had great tips on food and the area in general.Super colorful person, we liked her immediately. Loved Mike, man can this guy cook, Heather is a lucky lady. They made us feel as if we were staying with friends. Warm and welcoming environment. Beautifully decorated. Breakfast was out of this world. We stayed in the Whirlpool suite and it was exactly what we hoped for and more. This was our first experience with a bed & breakfast and we didn't know what to expect, we were not disappointed. We would love to come back.

"The team was able to help personalize my card to match mu invites and also helped layout the text so it looked neat and professional. I am so happy with the outcome."
"I needed a card that could guide my guests to the reception from the church because they would need to go down private streets and this card was perfect to slide in with the invitations."
"This insert turned out great. Good for any additional info - we used it for information regarding our destination wedding (e.g., travel agent info, dates, resort, plus our website and RSVP dates)."
"Our designer helped us with our response cards and invitations but did BY FAR the most work on the enclosure cards. She let us do front and back, organized everything so perfectly, and suggested different ways for us to lay everything out. I couldn't be more appreciative or happy with how they came out!"
"We modified this so the 'Directions' were 'Dress' and made it the same size as the other headings. We also changed the border to match the RSVP and main invite as well as getting the yellow back."

Skip to comments.Warm and fuzzy T. rex? New evidence surprises
Posted on 04/04/2012 12:03:18 PM PDT by SatinDoll
LOS ANGELES The discovery of a giant meat-eating dinosaur sporting a downy coat has some scientists reimagining the look of Tyrannosaurus rex.
With a killer jaw and sharp claws, T. rex has long been depicted in movies and popular culture as having scaly skin. But the discovery of an earlier relative suggests the king of dinosaurs may have had a softer side.
The evidence comes from the unearthing of a new tyrannosaur species in northeastern China that lived 60 million years before T. rex. The fossil record preserved remains of fluffy down, making it the largest feathered dinosaur ever found.
If a T. rex relative had feathers, why not T. rex? Scientists said the evidence is trending in that direction.
(Excerpt) Read more at xfinity.comcast.net ...
By the time I finished this article, I had visions of T-Rex looking like a giant chicken!
Well, it wasn't Chicken Little...
Dinosaurs had to be warm blooded.
If they were cold-blooded, by the time they would have warmed up enough to become mobile, it would have been nightfall again.
Chickasaurus, Found encrusted with eleven different substances as yet unidentfied. There may be a "kernal" of truth somewhere here, may be.
My thoughts as well.
There is a book that examines the possible origins of these creatures, it's called Out of Thin Air - Dinosaurs, Birds, and Earth's Ancient Atmosphere - by Peter D. Ward (2006; Joseph Henry Press).
Mr.Ward speculates on an oxygen crash as the cause of the Permian extinction and how dinosaurs had a respiratory system that differed from other creatures in that they could hoard oxygen in 'bladders' throughout their bodies.
Climbers on Mt.Everest have been surprised to discover upon reaching the summit, flocks of birds crossing over the mountain above them. Since the effort to fly uses huge amounts of oxygen, how can birds do that?
This book tries to answer the question.
On the other hand; this could all be bull sperm..
People looking to get pregnant with a givernment GRANT..
I wanna know where the third human on this planet came from..
If NOT from TWO other ones.. THEN a bodacious Yarn must be constructed..
I tend to like the other Yarn... the one where there was a society before the Adam and Eve thingy..
A society with dinos and other creatures and then all those folks self destructed.. with the creatures..
THEN the Adam & Eve Story developed as a metaphor as a start for the current self-destruction going on..
Heck it s a free country (so far) I can choose my own bull sperm..
When you realize why that isn't a good question you may realize why your own question has no basis in reality.
Sort of a primordial Big Bird?
The other white meat...
[ Who did the first speaker of Italian have to conserve with if everyone else on the peninsula spoke Latin? ]
Italian evolved.. as did English.. actually all languages evolve..
Latin is not spoken nor is Elizabethan English.. Norman.. Saxon.. Jute.. or Frisian..
The scientific community is like a priesthood, with all the stubborn orthodoxy and accusations of heresy when someone has the balls to think and argue differently that characterize that culture.
Robert Bakiker, the paleontologist once described T-Rex as a "40 ton Roadrunner from Hell". Looks like he was right.
"Bakiker" = "Bakker".
Populations evolve in their DNA much as the language of a human population evolves.
Small changes accumulate in separate populations until there is no longer a free exchange of information.
It is not a case where there would be a "human" born to a "nonhuman" that is suddenly looking for another "human" to mate with - any more that it would be the case that an "Italian" speaker would be born from a "Latin" speaker and would be looking for someone who understands him or her.
Small changes accumulating over time.
The evolutionists have it all figured out!
Modern Italian is based on the dialect of Tuscany but some dialects are so different they can be regarded as separate languages.
The language of Sardinia is considered a separate Romance language. Some consider Sicilian to be a different language. Up in the extreme NE part of Italy there is an area where Friulian is spoken, which is generally considered a separate Romance language.
Besides that, there are a few places where Albanian or Croatian is spoken (their ancestors were refugees from the Turks), and in the far north there is an area where German is spoken (the South Tyrol). There are some places near Trieste where Slovenian is spoken. I think there are places near the French border where French is spoken.
Supposedly less than 50% of the population of Italy speaks standard Italian at home.

"By the time I finished this article, I had visions of T-Rex looking like a giant chicken"
Which is probably the case, and which is exactly why I no longer love dinosaurs the way I did when I was a kid. Giant reptilian monsters roaming the Earth? Cool! Giant chickens? I guess I'll take up astronomy instead, now.
Anyone that has raised Muscovy ducks knows that the T. rex had to have friendly relatives.
I do wish we could bring back the dinosaurs. We could train them to hunt down and ... deal with the democrats..... and can you just imagine how large a bbq could be!!
Problem with speculating about feathered dinosaurs is that where are the feathers?
We are all familiar with how soft the tip of a feather is, no one would expect that to fossilize all that well.
But the quill part of a feather is a HARD substance. I think chemically, it's got a lot in common with stuff like fingernails.
If there were big dinos with big feathers who were fighting and ripping each other apart, we should reasonably expect to find bushels of fossilized feathers - dump trucks full!!
Plus, over the course of their lifetimes, they would shed them, so we should find way more fossilized feathers than fully intact, articulated skeletons.
You make a good point, though I'm not as certatin as you that feathers would fossilize. Impressions of the feathers have been found, however.
Keratin, the substance that makes up feathers, fingernails and hair, seems to fossilize if it is sizable. Neither feathers or hair are 'chunky' like the claws of large dinosaurs which do fossilize.
Also, and this is germaine to your position, dinosaurs died out a long, long time ago. The amount of fossilized remains is actually quite limited; in fact, a 'complete' fossilized skeleton of a T-rex has never been found - something is always missing! Thus finding fossilized feathers may be impossible due to the fagility of the item and the length of time that has passed.
Maybe we will never know for sure.
But I know they have found fossilized flowers, so I would think a feather would be quite possible.
Breast of T-Rex would be a great meal,...
or rack of Rex, would probably need a big heavy table though. And a lot of those little potatoes.
The discovery of a giant meat-eating dinosaur sporting a downy coat has some scientists reimagining the look of Tyrannosaurus rex.I don't care if they used fabric softer for their baby T-Rex's diapers. Those HUGH teeth weren't for cracking Walnuts.
Someone should remind these geniuses that a Kodiak Bear, aka: Alaskan grizzly bear, has nice soft and cuddly fur too. And you don't want run into one in the woods unless you have the biggest dang gun you can shoot.

Being Responsible and Creative in Financially Challenging Times - Notes from February 25th Discussion Session
2009 EDUCAUSE Southwest Regional  Conference
Discussion Title:Â Being Responsible and Creative in Financially Challenging Times, February 25, 2009
Notes provided by Jeanette Van Galder, Assistant Vice President for Information Technology, University of Northern Colorado
The majority of the group indicated that, although personnel is their largest expense, cutting professional IT staff was/will be their last resort. NOTE: One reason given was because it is so difficult to get the FTE (should there be a turnaround). STRATEGY FOR CUTS: Reduce staff through attrition and staff will need to be retooled/trained
1) Augment IT staff with student workers
One institution mentioned that they now only hire work study students to reduce their expenses. REACTION: while this strategy may reduce the department's expense it may be negatively affecting the institution by shifting the expense to the student financial aid department

I used to write handwritten damage estimates. When my company first computerized, they gave us a machine called a "quint" which looked like a typewriter. We would prepare our estimates by circling some codes on a laminated sheet. Then we made a phone call (remember those) to a phone bank and read them the codes. The data people entered those. An estimate was sent back over the phone line directly to the quint which acted like a printer and spit out a printed copy of the estimate.
From time to time, the quint would stop working. The customary response for computer support was to tell us to pick up the quint, hold it about 12 inches above the desk surface and drop it. Believe it or not, this often fixed the problem.
One day as I was walking across the parking lot, one of the latches on my quint case broke and the machine crashed to the asphalt.. It landed on one corner. The quint split wide open, mangled electronic parts hanging out .
I called our help desk. After describing what happened, I was instructed to hold the unit 12 inches above my desk and drop it.
"You don't understand," I said. "I already tried that."
LOL ellisaana but sometimes stuff like that did work – I had a few printers at work that needed an occasional slam or punch to fix the problem. :) This comic makes me feel like an antique though – I learned to type on a manual typewriter…
I did too, when I was in elemetary school.
Who knew low-tech could be so high-tech?
Believe it or not, I still have a typewritter up in the closet. I doubt that the ribbon's ink is still viable, but I heard once that if you sprayed a little WD-40 on the spool, that would give the ribbon ink a little more life. Ahhh….low tech. Those were the days….
I see that.
I love typewriters. I have a typewriter sound on my laptop but my husband says it's too noisy. I have an Underwood in my closet that needs to be looked at. Never thought I see one of those again as that is what the junior high and high schools had. Got the one I have at a flea market. It works all right if you don't mind the occasional sticking key. It could use some refurbishing and a ribbon. I think there are very few places that will still work on them.
There's actually an interest among the nostalgia-nerd crowd for modifying old typewriters to use them as computer keyboards. Too much time on their hands?
No "N" key?
I surprise my students when I say I first typed on a typewriter and a computer was actually 40 pounds and portable. Ahh Tandy!

Worry Quotes and Sayings
There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power or our will.
– Epictetus
Worry about the things you can control; the rest will either work themselves out, or they'll kill you. Either way, no more worries.
– Laurell K. Hamilton
Exhaust your worries and they will soon leave you.
– Stephen Richards
Worry is a fear in which you do nothing about.
If you believe that feeling bad or worrying long enough will change a past or future event, then you are residing on another planet with a different reality system.
– William James
When we worry too much, we believe more in our problems then in God's promises.
Worry and fear cannot conquer you if you are full of confidence and courage!
– Dr T.P.Chia
When things are perfect, that's when you need to worry most.
– Drew Barrymore
You've died today worrying about your death tomorrow.
Worry is like a rocking chair: it gives you something to do but never gets you anywhere.
— Erma Bombeck
Sometimes you lie in bed at night, and you don't have a single thing to worry about…That always worries me!
– Charles M. Schulz
Worrying does not empty tomorrow of its troubles, it empties today of its strength.
Worrying is literally betting against yourself.
Worry less. Smile more. Listen carefully. Take responsibility. Accept what you can't change. Embrace the lessons. Love your life. Today.
Do something without worrying about it instead of worrying without doing something about it.

The Long Shot: Two shades of Britain
Two British (or part-British) films came out on top at the Toronto Film Festival this year -- and they haven't much more in common than what's already in this sentence. Unless you've just returned from an extended meditation retreat in the Hindu Kush, you're probably aware that Steve McQueen's biographical slavery drama "12 Years a Slave" emerged most triumphant all from the fall fests, bearing bushels of critical praise, the much-coveted TIFF Audience Award and a position as Oscar frontrunner that only "Gravity" has seen fit to challenge so far. We have yet to see how it fares in the real world, but it's an impressive run for a film that, by consensus, takes a brutal, unyielding approach to an eternally tough historical subject.
Finishing second to "12 Years a Slave" in the Audience Award voting -- though trailing it rather distantly in the buzz stakes -- was Stephen Frears' "Philomena," another true-life tale of woe, though one that takes a mostly bright-and-breezy approach to its poignant story of a mother forcibly separated from her child, and haunted by the loss half a century later.
Bolting this narrative onto an odd-couple comedy starring Judi Dench and Steve Coogan isn't an obvious approach, but it seems to have worked: reversing Frears' recent run of duds, the film drew gales of laughter, tears and applause from critics and audiences at Venice, where Coogan was rewarded for his screenplay, and evidently worked its charms on the North American crowd too. Oscar talk has centered chiefly on Dench so far, though that could expand; a healthy haul of BAFTA and Golden Globe comedy/musical nods, meanwhile, seems all but assured.
If "12 Years a Slave" and "Philomena" end up as Britain's two top horses in the awards race -- which they presumably will, unless the collected members of the Academy acquire a robust sense of humor and nominate "Diana" -- they'll doubtless be paired up by the British media as twin mascots for the country's industry. (Expect them to tacitly ignore the Brad Pitt-produced US credentials of McQueen's film.) It happens every year, whether the final voting bears out the bullish "the British are coming" cries -- as it has recently in the years "The King's Speech" and "Slumdog Millionaire" -- or not. (To go by some of the more excitable UK Oscar coverage earlier this year, you'd have thought "Les Misérables"'s trio of wins for Supporting Actress, Makeup and Sound amounted to a dazzling sweep.)
Still, you could hardly pick two more diametrically opposed representatives for British cinema going forward: one soft, one hard; one from the old guard, one emphatically of the new; one local in its craft and concerns, one rather more international.
Frears and McQueen share a first name, but little else. The former is an Oxbridge-certified, 72-year-old stalwart of the British filmmaking establishment, whose aesthetic trademark has become his lack thereof. 43-year-old McQueen is a British-Grenadian grammar-school graduate and Turner Prize-winning fine artist, with an avant-garde sensibility that extends to his visceral, semi-stylized feature films. Much is being made of the fact that McQueen could be the first black filmmaker to win the Best Director Oscar, but his race isn't the only way in which he breaks the Academy mold.
Frears has strayed into cooler territory before -- never more successfully than in his US genre excursion "The Grifters," which netted his his first Oscar nomination -- but has extensive form in crafting cosily televisual, thematically unchallenging audience films like "Philomena" and its closest, if slightly less fuzzy, precedent, 2006's Best Picture-nominated "The Queen." A film best and most inarguably described as "nice," "Philomena" adds a drop of testy Catholic doubt to its otherwise comforting, condescending Britcom formula -- enough to add the illusion of gravitas, though certainly not enough to find much friction in the secular UK market (where it'll do roaring business upon its November release), or even in the US. That's why the Weinsteins snapped this one up in a heated bidding war at Cannes, and why it could quietly end up as the strongest card in their hand this year.
"12 Years a Slave," on the other hand, finds McQueen pushing himself into unfamiliar territory: his largest-scale film to date, and the one with the most American input (though he worked in the States, of course, on his sophomore feature, "Shame"), it's a gutsy effort to fuse his independent British sensibility to a heftyTransatlantic prestige vehicle that seems, so far, to have worked. (If it seemed odd that savvy US distributors Fox Searchlight picked up "Shame" -- a relatively out-there property by their standards -- in 2011, that investment is paying off handsomely now.)
Furthermore, the film also serves as a showcase for a cresting generation of British or British-reared actors that hadn't until now made their mark on the Academy, chief among them Chiwetel Ejiofor and Michael Fassbender -- whose non-nomination for "Shame" two years ago seemed indicative that the Academy wasn't yet ready for what McQueen and his team had to offer. Ready or not, they're coming around again. And interestingly, they're the sure bets this time, while it's the older-school Brits -- including two-time nominee McQueen and six-time nominee Dench -- who are reaching for a place lower down on the ballot.
Both "12 Years a Slave" and "Philomena" are represented in the lineup for the London Film Festival, which kicks off today. The remainder of the programme's British contingent, meanwhile, skews more heavily in the direction of McQueen-style risk and invention. Forward-thinking British production company Film4, which had a significant hand in "12 Years a Slave," also contributed the quartet of British titles in the festival's Official Competition: Jonathan Glazer's "Under the Skin," Clio Barnard's "The Selfish Giant," David Mackenzie's "Starred Up" and Richard Ayoade's "The Double," all striking contemporary works from rising or resurgent filmmakers that may as well have been made on a different planet to "Philomena."
None of those directors are getting near the Academy Awards just yet -- or, most likely, even the insecurely Oscar-aping BAFTAs. And they sit in amusingly stark contrast to some of the amiably undemanding Britpics showcased in the New York Film Festival, much to the amazement of UK onlookers: Richard Curtis' cutesy time-travel romcom "About Time," Roger Michell's pensioners-in-Paris romcom "Le Weekend," and Steve Coogan's disappointing sitcom spinoff "Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa." British film is still different things to different people, as any healthy national cinema should be. But an Oscar win for Steve McQueen -- as different a figure to, say, Tom Hooper as you could ask for -- may put an international spotlight on the changing of the guard.

New PWM Subsystem
Zack's Kernel News
Chronicler Zack Brown reports on the latest news, views, dilemmas, and developments within the Linux kernel community.
The new PWM subsystem almost got derailed when Thierry Reding submitted it to Linus Torvalds to be included in the main kernel tree.
The PWM (pulse width modulation) subsystem specializes in changing the widths of rectangular pulse waves, as a way of controlling the power of the signal. It's useful in minor, unimportant ways like controlling the fans that prevent your computer from melting into sludge and backlights that let you see what you're working on.
