I did my last couple of shifts this week at the Refuge Day Centre for Young Homeless People who are in fact not homeless. From now on, I will solely be subjected to abuse and ingratitude from the same ilk, but only in the state funded sector as opposed to the charity sector. Anyway, last Wednesday I penned the piece below to highlight how lucrative the welfare state can be for certain individuals.
Last year, a national newspaper highlighted the fact that there are over one hundred thousand drug addicts and alcoholics receiving lucrative state benefits. This group can be broken down in to two types, those who are still actively indulging in their addiction and those that have abstained but through having damaged their health are able to continue to claim benefits. Many of this latter category are well able to work. The degree to which they have damaged their health varies amongst individuals.
Several service users at the refuge are young alcoholics or addicts feeding their addiction with the help of the state. I will have an illuminating chat with one today.
It's Wednesday evening and I have started the weekly budget cookery workshop. Only the same two people ever turn up for this. This further highlights the fact that none of our clients are that hard up, otherwise why would they:
(a) turn their nose up at a free freshly cooked meal
(b) not want to learn to cook good quality food on a shoestring budget
One of the two regulars is Patrick. He's twenty-four and on the face of it is pleasant enough. Unlike many of the others, he has realised it's much easier to keep sponging off people if you are nice to them. However, when he doesn't get exactly what he thinks he is entitled to he can get a bit obstreperous, but overall he's an affable enough chap.
I ask him a few things about himself.
"Where are you living Patrick?"
"One of the council's supported housing projects in the city centre"
"Do you like it there?"
"I mean I would rather my own flat, but I've got a nice big room there. I've got my TV, stereo, dvd collection. It's clean and warm. So it will do for now"
It actually sounds a lot better than a few of the flat shares I've been in down through the years.
In time he will get his own flat, courtesy of the state. He will have to wait a few years for it due to the long queues for social housing. However, his alcohol and drug induced health problems could well see him given priority over more deserving decent working class people who pay into the system. Many addicts and alcoholics are given social housing as a priority above other groups of people. The council may deem him as a priority status due to his self inflicted illnesses or he may get a flat or more long term secure accommodation with a government funded housing association.
"How do you pay for it?"
"Housing benefit."
I refrain from pointing out to Patrick that that's not how he pays his rent, but rather it's how working people pay his rent in the form of taxes. I want to get as much information out of him about how he funds his drug and alcohol dependent lifestyle. If I was to start moralizing him now on the immorality of funding his idle, drug fuelled existence at the expense of the working population he might become reticent or what's more likely is that he would tell me to f**k off.
I am aware that addicts and alcoholics can avail of benefits, but at this point in time I have no idea of just how much they can receive. I am about to learn that it depends on the individual's circumstances.
"Are you on jobseekers allowance as well?"
"No I'm on income support and disability living allowance. I'm on the highest rate of the income support due to my disability. I basically damaged my pancreas and liver whilst I was drinking quite heavily and taking heroin a few years ago."
"So how much do you get a week between the two payments?"
"About £200."
"That's not bad for doing nothing is it?"
"No you're right there. I don't even have to pay any bills because the housing benefit paid to the hostel covers council tax, electricity, heating the lot. I mean if I worked in an average job I wouldn't even come out with that a week. And then I eat here or the other centre so I don't really have to spend any money on food."
It doesn't take a mathematician or accountant to work out that Patrick's £200 a week is basically disposable income. How many hard working people have anything like that to spend on their leisure each week?
"So between housing benefit, income support and disability living allowance you are receiving just shy of £300 a week. God you are better of than me and I'm employed."
"Do you drink a lot of that money?"
" No I can't really drink the way I used to due to the damage that I've done myself, but I have a few cans most days as well as the methadone I take, but I am on the lowest dose of methadone one can take so it doesn't really affect me."
The taxpayer also funds his methadone treatment.
Anyway, whilst I'm cooking him his dinner, we have a chat about drugs and addiction in general. He is convinced that he no longer has a problem with alcohol or drugs. Despite being on methadone and drinking every day. He only has a few cans most days. A few being at least three but as many as seven, indeed for Patrick it's an improvement he used to put away bottles of spirits most days a few years ago.
Generally, three to seven cans a day would make someone a heavy drinker as opposed to an alcoholic, although they could well develop a serious problem if they continue with this level of consumption.
However, Patrick mixes his alcohol with methadone thus magnifying the effect of each drug. Plus, he's a bit partial to the benzodiazepine family of drugs, particularly valium, so he tells me.
"I suffer badly from anxiety and where as I used to get really drunk or take heroin now I just order valium from the internet. It's so cheap as well. I can get hundreds for next to nothing. If you need any I will show you where to get them."
"I'm fine Patrick, thanks anyway."
I think if I wasn't leaving this job I'd be tempted to put in an order.
Now, Patrick is only one of hundreds of thousands of addicts being funded by the taxpayer. What's more is that Patrick is far from immobile and is more than capable of doing a variety of jobs. The state needs to find ways to force Patrick in to some kind of productive activity instead of subsidising his addictive habits at the expense of the rest of society. Not only is the taxpayer being fleeced but also Patrick is being robbed of opportunities for self-improvement.
Are you one of the people in Britain that scrapes by, on or below the average salary? Are you one of the millions paying off a recently acquired mortgage at seven times your salary for an overpriced property or perhaps you can't even afford to do this? Are you one of the working class families that find it hard to make ends meet each week? Are you a member of the middle class that worked so hard to get where you are today and who pay a significant portion of your salary to the state?
The next time you are stuck in horrific traffic as you commute to or from work, or are watching the clock as you trudge through your tedious working day, just think of Patrick and the hundred or so thousand like him sitting around drinking lager and popping pills at your expense.

With winter in full force, even in the city, it's always a welcome distraction when you get to kick off your boots, throw on a lei, and pretend that you're enjoying some tropical weather. And that's exactly what took place last week at Tommy Bahama in Midtown Manhattan. The celebrated brand threw a festive fête to celebrate the release of Rick Rodgers' cookbook, "Flavors of Aloha: Cooking with Tommy Bahama." The cookbook boasts 100 recipes inspired by Hawaii — from poultry and seafood to desserts and cocktails — and is filled with gorgeous photographs of the native land, as well the dishes. Throughout the evening New Yorkers were forgetting that they were actually in the city, instead inspired by the food, drinks and atmosphere, making us practically feel the sunshine on our cheeks. Guests enjoyed both wine and cocktails, including Mai Tais, Painkiller 2, and Pomegranate Fizz. Additionally, the dishes served brought us straight to the beaches of Hawaii. Favorites included coconut shrimp with mango chutney, pulled pork sliders, chicken wings and salmon avocado poke. If this is just a sampling of what the cookbook offers, we want to reserve our copy now!
Twisted Talk: What's your favorite cookbook? Will you try out some of these Hawaiian dishes? Discuss below!

By outsourcing SEO work, SEO companies may usually charge higher amounts in-line with different local prices and afterward get work done overseas for a portion of the cost. Temporarily a foreign SEO provider might have bad English skills and not completely understand about your physical location they are writing content for. Also, they might use automation techniques for link building and copywriting strategies which may lead to Google penalties. Unluckily that's a common practice for different SEO company from 3rd world countries. When SEO campaign is concluded overseas you usually get a very poor standard of work. This could portray an unethical image for the business and can lead to the website getting penalized. So avoid such thing at all costs.
Get a Customized SEO strategy for your personal need: Getting a successful SEO strategy needs complex planning and analysis. There are no one-size-fits-all methods when it is about to SEO. And for that reason, you shouldn't pick an SEO package that is already designed and expect to get awesome results. All reliable SEO company provides a search engine optimization service that's custom designed for every business they are a partner with. The reason is that each business is diverse in terms of the products, market and services, and also different business goals. A successful strategy for SEO company should take all of this into account and requires to be tailored to an individual business in order to meet their precise needs.
Get Progress Reports: Another significant tip is to make sure that local SEO provider gives progress reports occasionally. Most common is to get a bimonthly or monthly report showing which work was done and how the website rank is improving. If you aren't getting that data then the SEO agency can be nothing doing while taking the money. Ensure you review that report every time you get it and also make sure progress is being made according to your business goals. Also, try to play as safe as possible; at the end of a day choosing your partner isn't an easy task and required detailed knowledge and expertise.

By Nigel Somerville | Thursday 16 February 2017
Disclosure: I own shares in one or more of the stocks mentioned. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from ShareProphets). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.
I said at the weekend that having several times met Kerim Sener, MD at AIM-listed Ariana Resources (AAU), I felt that he was the exception to prove Mark Twain's rule. In recommending Ariana (1.85p on the offer at the time, so I'm happy to see the shares now on a spread of 2p - 2.15p) my view was that plant completion, production and therefore cashflow were imminent. We've had the completion RNS and we now await the paperwork to allow everything to roll. But who gets first dibs at the bunce?
The maths, at the target 20,000 oz gold-equivalent and with $600 production costs and a gold price above $1200 looks very good indeed. Ariana owns 50% of the JV which holds the new plant, alongside Proccea. But there are some bills to pay – a $33 million construction finance facility.
My back-of-an-envelope was that on a ten-year view, Ariana should see something of the order of $34 million from the project, but I have been asked about some additional lending. ShareProphets readers have a very healthy cynicism when it comes to being told the truth: if the RNS is in any way slightly woolly or not exactly specific or qualified in any way, you can bet your boots that there is something you are not being told.
After scouring RNSs and the last Annual Report I still hadn't turned up any reason why Ariana would not see the sort of amounts I had calculated. That, of course, is not enough. Was the company hiding something? I asked the company.
I am told that the $33 million finance repayments are the direct responsibility of the JV, and that whilst there is no recourse to Ariana itself the assets held in the JV including freehold land and the shares of the JV held by both Ariana and Proccea are on the line.
But then I am told that Proccea provided additional funding to the JV over and above the originally agreed $8 million. Oh, so the cynics are right – Proccea gets first dibs?
Not so fast: Ariana has also lobbed in more by way of exploration spending, and I am told that the resulting loans to the JV by Ariana and Proccea are "not dissimilar" and that it is the intention of the two partners to repay those loans on an equal basis as soon as the free cashflow required is in place.
In other words yes, Proccea is due some loan repayments – but then so is Ariana, and the amounts are of a similar magnitude.
The exact timing of that will obviously depend on commissioning and ramp-up of plant operations as well as the ore grades used (and thus production costs), sale prices achieved and repayments scheduled on the $33 million facility. But there is no reason not to expect Ariana to be on the receiving end of cashflow from the mine from day one.
Further, I am told that once the loans to the JV partners have been sorted they intend to adopt a dividend policy which will then see cash flowing into Ariana's subsidiary in Turkey (Galata Madencilik).
All we need now is the paperwork to be completed and we are off to the races. I continue to think that if you can get in at under 2p both short-term spivs and longer-term investors will do well. With the shares now through that 2p mark my stance is hold although some may take a more positive view as/when production gets underway, completing the company's journey from explorer to producer.
Just for clarity of disclosure, I still intend to take a bit off the table at above 2p in order to trim an overly-large holding (for me) and bank a bit of profit, but have not done so yet. With news of three rounds of sign-off to come (the first of which I'm expecting very soon indeed) followed by news of the first pour and the gold price still eking marginally higher I reckon there remains a bit more short-term gain to go for here, with an eye cast for the 2.25p mark before trimming back my exposure. After that I'll be looking for that house broker target of 3p but with a longer-term target of 50,000 oz production there looks to be plenty of longer-term upside to be had on top.

Houston Texans Meet Top Quarterback Prospects Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes
Looks like Tom Savage may soon have some competition for the starting job.
NFL.com has reported that the Houston Texans have brought in Texas Tech's Patrick Mahomes II and Clemson's Deshaun Watson for pre-draft visits this week. According to CBS Sports, both quarterback prospects are expected to be taken in the first two rounds of the draft. The Texans have the 25th and 57th overall picks.
Interestingly USA Today's Tom Pelissero has heard that Texans coach Bill O'Brien really likes what he has seen in Mahomes.
"A lot of BS flies this time of year, but file this away: One NFL coach who's done homework on all the top QBs told me the word is O'Brien absolutely loves the cannon-armed Mahomes," Pelissero said in his report.
Mahomes is definitely talented and he has tremendous upside, but he is extremely raw. He will need time to develop behind Savage and Brandon Weeden if the Texans decide to use their pick on him.
Watson may also need time to polish his game in the pros, but wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins believes his fellow Clemson alum is going to do well in the big leagues.
"You know, I'm a Clemson guy so I'm a little biased. As an organization, they know who we need more so than my biased opinion would say who I want. Wherever he goes, I know he'll do fine. You win Quarterback of the Year back-to-back, you get snubbed of the Heisman," Hopkins said, according to the Houston Chronicle. "In my eyes, he's a Heisman quarterback," he added.
The problem here is that Mahomes and Watson may no longer be available when the Texans are on the clock with the 25th overall pick. There are a lot of quarterback-needy teams selecting before they do like the Cleveland Browns, New York Jets, Arizona Cardinals and Buffalo Bills.
But if one of them slips down the board, the Texans will seriously consider using their pick on him.

The MG Y TYPES novelty plate features the MG Y-Type – a small saloon and limited production open four-seat tourer that was built by MG between 1947 and 1953. When production ceased, 8,336 "Y" Types had been produced, 6,131 of which were "YA"s, 904 were "YT" Tourers and 1,301 were "YB"s.
Wikipedia tells us: In the years immediately before the Second World War, MG had sought to supplement its popular range of 'Midget' sports cars with three saloons of various sizes and engine capacities. These were the "S", "V" and "W" models. The MG factory at Abingdon on Thames had grown by developing what were in essence Morris based products and they were always to be closely associated with what was to become the Nuffield Organisation (Morris, Wolseley and later Riley). The "WA" had an engine displacement of 2,561 cc, the "SA" 2,288 cc and the smallest of the group, the "VA", had an engine of 1,548 cc. The next development to the range was to include one more saloon, of smaller engine capacity than the "VA", and for a component base the Cowley design office turned to Morris's Ten-Four Series M saloon, which was introduced during 1938, and the smaller Eight Series E which was launched at the Earls Court Motor show the same year.
The prototype "Y" Type was constructed in 1939 with an intended launch at the Earls Court Motor show, the following year. However, as a result of the hostilities the public had to wait a further eight years before production commenced. All prototypes originating from the MG Factory at Abingdon were allocated numbers prefixed by the letters EX; this practice continued until the mid-fifties. Although the prototype of the MG "Y" Type was primarily a Morris concept from Cowley, much of the 'fleshing out' was completed at Abingdon. As a result it was allocated the prototype number EX.166.
When the car was launched the MG Sales Literature stated "A brilliant new Member of the famous MG breed. This new One and a Quarter Litre car perpetuates the outstanding characteristics of its successful predecessors – virile acceleration, remarkable 'road manner,' instant response to controls, and superb braking. A 'lively' car, the new One and a Quarter Litre provides higher standards of performance." The UK price of the car was £525.0.0 ex works plus purchase tax of £146.11.8d.
This plate comes standard as completely flat and non-embossed but for a little more cost we are able to give it a pressed out embossed border, so you have a choice. Please select your preference from the drop down menu.
These novelty number plates are made from high quality aluminium and the artwork applied by a dye sublimation process with a lovely gloss finish. They measure 37 x 13 cm, exactly the same as the traditional fully embossed type of plate and look just like our other Aussie made novelty number plates; even the mounting holes are in exactly the same positions, so they can easily be hung on display indoors or outdoors. One great advantage the flat non-embossed version is that owing to the absence of embossed border, and being just under 1 mm thick, it's quite flexible and will flex about 10 cm from the centre, so can be mounted on curved surfaces.
Each embossed rim style plate is sealed in a clear plastic sleeve, and each flat non-embossed plate is shrink-sealed in plastic film, so both types are ready for retail display, plus we offer the option of fixing them to a cardboard display card, so they can then be hung and displayed on the same display racks that are used for the other Aussie size plates we sell. To see what the display card looks like please click here
For protection during delivery we use extra packing materials to ensure they arrive in tip-top condition
If you would like plates made to your own design, we can easily do this for you. Virtually anything you want can be created with our modern digital equipment. The key is good art, and we can do

Important note about images we provide : Just as we sometimes see that "pricing is subject to change without notice", so too are "designs subject to change without notice". In 99.99% of cases, what you see on Dixie's website or brochure is what you get. However, there are the odd times when designs have changed in some small way (eg: maybe a logo moves to a different location on the item, or the colour changes). Sometimes this information doesn't always trickle down until the new designs are manufactured and shipped to Dixie. We hope this is helpful and understandable.

"Staff unhelpful...."
About: Royal Bolton Hospital Royal Bolton Hospital Bolton BL4 0JR
Posted via NHS Choices
Anything else?
The actual experience at the hospital was excellent. Easy parking and was seen exactly on time. It was the rudeness of the ldoctor that did my surgery that I didn't like. Saing 'what's up' in a rude mannor whilst my eye is clamped and I'm in clear discomfort! Then after surgery that couldn't be fulfilled as nothing would come out, I was given eye ointment and told there you go. I had no clue what to do with it, I asked is it eye drops and was told its all in the leaflet there. On my way home I looked at the leaflet and the instructions for the ointment is to be used as described by the doctor, but there was no description by them so I had to call the hospital to find out. Great hospital let down by rude staff

In commercial photography, there is a particular type of shot that lends itself to web and print layouts, which is called the "silhouetted shot." If produced correctly, the subject matter will appear to be sitting in a white room surrounded by light. It is a very clean style because it looks natural on a white page and is not confined to a square or rectangular frame. Much of the success of a silhouetted shot depends on lighting, which to many might seem complicated and expensive. As you'll discover in this lesson, however, this does not necessarily have to be the case.
This lesson demonstrates how to create a natural-looking silhouetted shot with very simple and inexpensive lighting tools and a little digital editing.

How do you organize your videos?
eagle_I wrote:
I've just been using file tree structure to organize my shooting as to date and time separating significant scene changes to a sub directory.
I'm thinking I'd like to find software help for logging my footage. You know timecode and scene description stuff. I'm new at doing it, but found use of NoteTab Pro (a text editor) awkward. I could probably struggle to set-up some specialized hot keys for some of the repetitive stuff ... but I'm not very good at that sort of programming. Figure I'd put these files in the same directory as the footage. At this point I'm not seeing a need to search for a shoot subject. Searching footage logs for a particular scene would be good though.
Mark-- hide signature --
Good idea on using a file tree structure, separating subjects/themes/, etc. into sub-directories. This method involves, say, Sony Vega Plus Operating System. Using Lightroom involves a third party; Vega + OS + LR.
Forget code! Fortran, MS Dos and Lotus 123 were my style - (too long ago).
Thanks for your input and ideas.

41 would-be child suicide bombers are rescued
A convoy of 41 children, some aged as young as six, have been rescued from being smuggled over the border to Pakistan and trained as suicide bombers.
The children were stopped in cars driven by four Afghan men in the mountainous eastern province of Kunar, police and interior ministry officials said.
They said their parents had been fooled into believing they were sending their children to religious schools but were instead being sent to be trained to attack Afghan and international forces.
"They were bringing these children in the name of education, but they were not being sent to schools," a police official said. "They were being sent to be suicide bombers."
The children were to be taken to a madrassah close to Peshawar, which officials said was a recruiting ground for militants belonging to Hizb-i-Islami, one of Afghanistan's main insurgent factions.
The children insisted they had no links with insurgents and were being sent only to receive schooling and escape their poverty-stricken villages.
Several said they had lost their fathers in clashes between American troops and insurgents, or in Nato airstrikes.
They told reporters that with their fathers gone, their families could not afford to look after them so they were being sent to private madrassahs where they would receive free food and clothes
Afghan intelligence officials have blamed insurgentsfor launching a wave of child suicide bombers against targets in the past few years.
The four men with the children, Fazl Maula, Syed Habib, Samiullah and Amir Gul, were all arrested, while the boys were sent back to their families. (© Daily Telegraph, London)

ATLANTA -- Georgia Tech's George O'Leary has the option to become the next football coach at Notre Dame, New England Cable News reported late Saturday.
The school met with O'Leary Saturday and a deal could be announced by Monday, both ESPN and New England Cable News reported.
Although O'Leary is under contract with the Yellow Jackets for another five years, Georgia Tech athletic director Dave Braine said last week the school would not prohibit O'Leary from taking the Notre Dame job.
O'Leary could not be reached for comment late Saturday, but he is scheduled to meet with his coaching staff at 9:30 a.m. today.
The developments came on the same day that Oakland Raiders coach Jon Gruden withdrew his name from consideration for the job.
Notre Dame sports information director John Heisler would not comment, while Georgia Tech sports information director Mike Stamus couldn't be reached.
While the Yellow Jackets admittedly underachieved at 7-5, O'Leary has directed Georgia Tech to five consecutive bowl appearances. The team will play Stanford at the Seattle Bowl on Dec. 27.
O'Leary has a 52-33 overall record at Georgia Tech since being named head coach in 1994.

Quantel's Part 2 Examination of the Rise of Digital Film
- July 9th, 2012
- Posted in 3D . DI Workflow . Digital Cinema . Legacy Formats
- Write comment
In the second part of our look at the uptake of digital technology in the movie business we explore filmmaking innovators who are taking digital filming and post production to new levels of excellence.
Filmmakers and post-production specialists are breaking new ground in visual storytelling facilitated by the increase in technological capabilities during acquisition, post and exhibition. The advances in Stereo3D are inextricably linked to developments in digital capture: James Cameron pioneered shooting on digital cameras that were custom built for Ghosts of the Abyss – the first feature length 3D IMAX production released in 2003. Then Avatar set the bar for 3D features; however Vince Pace, co-chairman of CAMERON | PACE Group recently told The Hollywood Reporter that they "were experimenting with Avatar" and that they "could have gone further, but we wanted to make sure we found ourselves somewhere in the middle of concentrating on a good film and focusing on 3D elements. We didn't want to compromise the actual film by taking away from the story for the sake of 3D."
Pace continues to state that Martin Scorsese's Hugo does far more than Avatar to showcase 3D filmmaking's full capacity due to Scorsese not forcing elements of 3D but instead molding it to get maximum effect from the artists and the creative team's vision. The technological advancements in S3D that have been made since Avatar also enabled the Hugo team to utilise bespoke systems and equipment to watch high quality stereo dailies, perfect the acquisition of stereo on set and finish Hugo to such a standard the stereo grading contributed to Scorsese earning a 'Best Director' nod at this year's Golden Globes.
We asked Jonathan Tustain, Editor of leading website 3D Focus, to give us his take on future advances in the digital pipeline. "No doubt higher frame rate projection will become commonplace over the next few years thanks to influential directors like Peter Jackson and James Cameron filming big budget movies like The Hobbit and Avatar 2 at 48 frames per second. Cinema chains will be able to upgrade their digital projectors with a simple software update and, like 3D, the improved picture quality, particularly during fast motion sequences, will be marketed to draw audiences in."
Digital drives quality
Stereoscopic 3D is not the only aspect of digital that is evolving on our cinema screens. As previously mentioned in part 1, 4K digital cinema projection systems are gathering momentum in the US/Europe with audiences increasingly experiencing high resolution movies screened as the filmmaker intended the scenes to be consumed in theaters.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is one of the largest 4K movies to date, making up almost a quarter of a million frames at 45 megabytes each. It was shot in 4.5k – 5K resolution on RED Epic MX and Epic cameras and was finished at Hollywood Post facility Light Iron on Quantel Pablo. The sheer volume of data captured needed twocolor correction systems working non stop to deliver a 4K DI 9 reels long which is the equivalent of around six 2K two hour movies. The end result, when seen on a 4K projector, is arguably another cinematic milestone demonstrating the amplified creative / visual control for the filmmaker and a higher standard of picture quality for the movie-going public.
We spoke to Michael Cioni, CEO of Light Iron. He explains why he feels that his data-centric post house will continue to work on more productions like The Girl with the Dragoon Tattoo. "My experience with most archetypes on the set has been the common desire to incase creative control. Creative control of the crew, control over the studio, image capture, performances, editing, art direction and even the overall pace of shooting are all things filmmakers tend to want to have creative control over. Yet film as a medium physically limits a degree of control in every category simply because you cannot inspect film until after it is developed. 18-48 hour delays are normal procedure for film review which presents a massive boundary around the evaluation component of creative control. In the upcoming documentary 'Side-by-Side,' director Christopher Nolan says 'There isn't yet a superior or even equal imaging technology to film.' In my opinion, subjective interpretation of film's benefits is not the issue that warrants discussion. From my perspective, it is becoming ever clearer that the simplicity of how work flows ultimately commands what format is adopted. For the average filmmaker this renders aesthetic opinions on the subject a lesser priority (I see this happening at all budget levels). In the hands of the masters, the apex of today's digital cameras has breeched every measurable category that film used to champion as technically superior. In 36 months time, the gap will be so significant that this debate simply will not exist."
The Case for Film
There are traditionalists and big names in cinema that are sill firmly camped in film's corner. Steven Spielberg shot the acclaimed War Horse on 35mm and was recently quoted saying "I'm still planning to shoot everything on film. I guess when the last lab goes out of business, we'll all be forced to shoot digitally and that could be in eight-to-ten years. It's possible in ten years' time there will be no labs processing celluloid." Of course Spielberg has already dabbled with digital technologies and 3D with Tintin, albeit in a motion capture sense, however he stressed "It's 100% digital animation but as far as a live-action film, I'm still planning to shoot everything on film… I love film."
Christopher Nolan's forthcoming conclusion to the Batman trilogy The Dark Knight Rises was filmed in 35mm and 70mm IMAX. Nolan resisted pressure from studio bosses at Warner Bros. to shoot and/or convert the final Batman in 3D. Quentin Tarantino is passionate about working with celluloid and from his remarks in the video below, like Spielberg, is not switching to shooting in digital anytime soon.
Filmmakers still have a choice when it comes to capturing and translating their vision for the big screen. But partly due to the rapid rise in digital projection, any motion picture captured on celluloid will almost inevitably end up being digitalized anyway. We return to Light Iron's CEO Michael Cioni, who sums it all up most eloquently:
"I don't dislike film, but I do dislike unnecessary complexity. I think if film could be around forever, it would be used on some level forever. Because the art of story telling has infinite possibilities, the ways in which to tell stories should not be quantified into a single format or flavor. By this, I am in favor of film being used whenever deemed appropriate by those who are most comfortable using it. That can be anything from those who are seeking a desired texture or who have a creative preference, such as Mr. Nolan. But there is a bigger question here which presents the real root of the problem: it's not whether people have a desire to shoot film; the question is whether or not film can afford to be manufactured at all. I predict that man's desire to shoot film will far outlast the manufacturers' ability to produce it. Thus, the ultimate decision will be made for us."

Hello Guys!
Yesterday we met with Mozo Accessories. Coincidentally, they're only a brief walking distance away from our Helsinki office.
Mozo is the official Lumia custom case provider.
We spent a good few hours talking about hardware industry, exchanging knowledge, experiences and tips.
They have some really inspiring designs in the field of swappable covers:
An idea struck us and we realized there might be a partnership opportunity between the companies.
What if Pyramid Flipper had a Mozo style cover by standard? It would be offered in different colors and materials.
This would naturally only be done, if heat dissipation would not be compromised.
Another option would be to create the Pyramid Flipper's keyboard with similar styling. Maybe we could co-create the keyboard together with them?
There are a lot of possibilities, but we want to know what you guys think!
Should Eve products be customizable with Mozo -style accessories?
I personally would definitely get a device looking like above over a boring metal one (that everybody else has, my opinion) if all other things in the devices were equal. How about you?
As we're inspired by you people, before making such decisions, we'd like to learn how do you like this kind of styling.
Should the Pyramid Flipper's design be enhanced with similarly designed features?Should portable computing have more fashion in it? Could you let yourself be seen with a "fashionable" PC? What would Pyramid Flipper look like if the back cover was made of hardened leather?
Share your thoughts guys! Looking forward to your feedback
More MOZO Accessories here: http://mozoaccessories.com/
It should stand out but I believe it would be better to stick with other materials (I'm not a fan of leather on the back of a tablet) such as ceramic. It IMO would make the back look a bit bland although it could give a nice texture. I would prefer to have that kind of design on the keyboard. It needs to withstand a lot wear and tear and feel premium, provided it doesn't seem too flashy - it needs to coexist well with the tablet's design.I think computing devices should have some flare to it but it shouldn't go overboard. Remember, many of us are using this for work and sometimes won't like to have people constantly staring at your device. Make it just so as to amaze others I believe it would look good but I can't say for sure since I never held neither saw a Mozo case in person (only online).Having said that I think we should have an option for a metal keyboard for those who wouldn't want a leather one.
http://mozoaccessories.com/ You can see some online here @Artur !
I have seen them! Windows Central keeps me updated very well! Only online tho - I would like to see them in person to see the feel and looks (there's nothing that can replace seeing in the real world). I really like their cover designs - the "wood" case, the red leather case with gold rims, the black case, the white case, the brown case... They're all awesome. If I had to pick the best looking for me would be either the red with gold trim or the brown case. I would have to see in person to see which one I'd like to own best.
I'm not a fan of leather covers, but I like what they're doing. I could see leather + metal working on a tablet - I just prefer polycarbonate for a phone. I think that red would look good on the kickstand (and keyboard cover), with an ipad-like silver for the rest of the back of the tablet.
I don't like leather either. But their wood covers are posh!
For a pgone their covers are nice to have but having a leather back makes it IMO a bit bland (maybe put brown leather surrounding the keyboard and trackpad it would make it look premium and stylish while it would have a smooth surface (part of what I like on metal surfaces) so it would seem clean and minimalistic but with an artistic flare to it
I can totally see why people would want their tablet/keyboard covered in various materials/colors.
But I personally like a good metal/aluminum finish - I'm rather against leather backs in devices, I'd even take a plastic one over a leather one
I know they don't only make leather-stuff but for me personally it's Brushed Aluminum > Matte Plastic > quite everything else > glossy plasticSo, I'd not take one with those things on but the option to have it done would still be great as this might get some more people to get a Flipper
Mozon suojus?
Se on selvästi kaksijakoinen ja ei helppo kysymys!!
Toisaalta on ikävä peittää noin todella hyvännäköinen (työ)väline mutta toisaalta 2in1 tabletti tarvitsee jonkin suojuksen - ei sitä ilman suojusta voi kuljetella "ympäri maailman".
Mozon suojukset ovat hyvännäköisiä, mutta ovatko tässä tapauksessa tarpeeksi hyvännäköisiä ?
Itsellä ei kokemusta Mozon suojista, joten en tiedä miten hoitavat varsinaisen tehtävänsä - suojaamisen.Suoja peittää suojattavan => estää naarmuutumisen, mutta entä pudotessa (oma Lumia 2520 rikkoontui!) ?
Siis Mozo vai ei - vaikea sanoa!
I do appreciate effort made by MOZO to bring good quality back-covers and accessories to Windows 10 Mobile world but I am totally against leather.
Apart from the unethical use of leather, it looks cheap to me. It reminds me Galaxy Note 3 back cover and other fake leather covers - gross.
However, I do not cross out MOZO design entirely. I really like wooden back cover, like those for Lumia 650.How about a mix of Shield concept and MOZO back cover for Lumia 550? - Aluminium frame, and matt plastic back cover with color variants? IMO matt plastic looks 5 times more premium on tech devices tham leather.
I don't like the leather at all either for phone or computer, I prefer the metal finish.But maybe for the docking, a wood finish version could nice, it only depends of the type of docking you are going to offer; if it is only like a port replicator it could be possible, if it is like the Razer Core, I would find it useless.
I think that EVE should focus on usability. Don't waste attention and effort on marginal matters like fashionable covering. Would the people who are attracted by such things even hear about Pyramid Flipper?
@Hellnar @SombreSire @Filip_Ka Amazing feedback!
Actually, we will show MOZO power of community. You see they do leather accessories even thou biggest Windows loyalists don't like it on devices:)
What do you think of materials like that on the reverse side of the keyboard?
Things like: Kevlar, CarbonFiber, Wood, etc?
@Hellnar, I agree with you that usability is our number 1 priority but developing device that would also feel amazing in hands is important for many of us here. But usability is definitely more important that fancy materials
And I agree that leather is not such a good material for tech gadgets + kind of leather on the pictures is outdated (my grandparents have wallets made of that textured leather)
To be honest, I'm more of a simple guy, and so I'd like to have a simple aluminum with a nice looking finish.
I think that such a "material-case" or however you'd call it should be an extra - like it is in the LG G4 where they had the "normal" version with the plastic/whatever back and an extra back with the leather on it.
Then again, I'm not much of a guy who'd care for a material if it's not decently finished metal or matte plastic
Huawei MateBook's combined keyboard, folding stand and wrapper is so good that the design will be adopted by many other 2-in-1 producers. Why not also by EVE? Pyramid Flipper's own kickstand is needed, too, when the tablet is used without keyboard. With keyboard it can be used for other angles than the ones provided by the folding wrapper.
The idea is good, but what is most important, is what the community thinks is best (and is doable from a business standpoint. There will be no tablet covered in diamonds for 10$ ). Yes, it might be a total other way than the general conses, but that is always the risk with a quite small community as is here.
From what I can tell on the concept-design-thread the "Connect" was the least favourite of the people at least from what I can tell by a quick skimming over the thread.
If you want to discuss on the design further, please go to the referred concept-design-thread and continue the discussion there.
hey, @iKirin, Maybe you should be a moderator in our forum You are absolutely right. We are not growing our community like crazy to ensure that we have high-quality inputs here like you all guys have! Thank you very much for that
The GEODE concept had this 2-tone back, one part metal and the other part coloured. What if the coloured part was removable, and we could get covers from Mozo? Would greatly enhance the customization capabilities of the Pyramid Flipper
@AntonyTerence The design looks odd and awkward though.
In my humble opinion, it looks different from any other device out there Customization is always a plus, though.

Introduction to Programming Concepts Using MATLAB
Second Edition
Autar K Kaw, University of South Florida
Daniel Miller, University of South Florida
Welcome to the website for Introduction to
Programming Using MATLAB book.
This book is intended for an introductory course in
MATLAB programming in STEM (science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics) fields. With so many
textbooks written on MATLAB, why saturate the market
with one more book. That is the question the authors
asked themselves before they embarked on this
project. The following are the reasons we took this
challenging task.
Many books simply show you how to use MATLAB
to solve engineering problems while others
concentrate on its programming aspects. We
give equal coverage to MATLAB syntax, intrinsic
functions used for common engineering
mathematical procedures, and basic programming
A few attempts to use currently published
textbooks in the course we teach at USF have
not met students' needs. We are making a bold
attempt to write a book that is suitable for our
Many engineering departments throughout the
nation no longer teach a 3-credit hour
programming course. They weave the
mathematical software packages such as MATLAB
in other courses such as Foundations of
Engineering. This book is highly suitable for such
audiences. To make the access far-reaching and
to keep the pedagogy as neutral as possible for
wider acceptance, we have purposefully kept the
chapters short in length so that instructors can
easily choose the course content.
The first nine chapters of the book focus on MATLAB
commands and sequential programming. Here the user
is introduced to using the program interface, common
MATLAB commands for displaying outputs and
mathematical functions, and applications to science and
engineering problems. In the next six chapters, we use
MATLAB commands for basic mathematical procedures
learned in the engineering calculus and ordinary
differential equations courses. In the last fourteen
chapters, the user is introduced to basic programming
concepts of conditional statements, repetition, extrinsic
functions, and interaction with external files.

You mentioned that Zachariah and Martha had four daughters.I only have two documented, your grandmother Love and her sister Lou Emily.Who are the other two sisters?
Are you and Yvonn sisters?Which of Love's daughters are you descended from? (I want to make sure that I have you on the correct branch of our family tree).

We had a chance to play with Motorola's DEFY – headed to T-Mobile USA – this past week at CTIA 2010, and it's certainly a tough little thing. Unlike other rugged smartphones it still gets a big display – 3.7-inches in this case – and doesn't feel like a great block of rubber.
Meanwhile, Engadget managed to find a tank of water and promptly dunked the DEFY, only to discover that T-Mobile's claims about the smartphone's water-resilience are indeed accurate. Last month we saw the DEFY hold up to a few other durability tests, which certainly suggests this is one tough phone.

At The
Today we are sharing another update on our financial support of well-being related scientific research and partnerships. This is the fourth update to our online, searchable database that shows our support from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2016.
You'll note in this update that we have fewer investments to disclose. This is due in part to the application of new guiding principles that we began to implement in early 2016. The new principles define how we will provide financial support for well-being related scientific research and partnerships. While our previous support of well-being related research produced scientifically valid results, we recognized an opportunity to avoid some of the questions that result when we are the sole provider of funding.
The new guiding principles serve as our roadmap for well-being scientific research and partnerships. While they do not replace our transparency reporting, we expect there will be fewer activities in the future to report.
Here is a summary of our disclosure for this six-month reporting period, July 1, 2016 – December 31, 2016:
We will continue to disclose, at six month intervals, all relevant funding of well-being related research, partnerships and health professionals and scientific experts that meet the criteria identified in the transparency website.
We are focused on our way forward and on the opportunities it presents to us to support the communities we have served for more than 130 years. We will keep you updated on our progress.
Thank you for joining us in this journey.

Dr Horrible Threatens Film Crew
In case you missed it the first time around, I only reminded you like five times, Dr. Horribles Sing Along Blog is back for viewing. No longer an ITunes exclusive, Dr. Horrible has returned to Hulu due to popular demand.
Each chapter can be viewed individually or the whole show can be watched as one 42 minute clip. I can't think of many better ways to kill an hour at work.
Here's the link
In other Horrible news. Joss Whedon has confirmed there will be more chapters in the musical dramedy starring Neil Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillion.
As long as you're opening a Hulu account (it's free) check out the Film Crew channel.
The Film Crew is essentially MST3K without the props and bots.
I wrote about them back on Feb 11th, and have since seen the films offered on Hulu. If you were a fan of MST3K, Mike Nelson, Bill Corbett and Kevin Murphys voice overs to bad movies will take you right back to Saturday mornings on the couch with a bowl of sugar smacks and the channel tuned to Comedy Central.
Let's hope they do a few more

Morgan Freeman:
So, what are we really made of?
Dig deep inside the atom
and you'll find tiny particles
Held together by invisible forces
Everything is made up
Of tiny packets of energy
Born in cosmic furnaces
Frank Close:
The atoms that we're made of have
Negatively charged electrons
Whirling around a big bulky nucleus
Michio Kaku:
The Quantum Theory
Offers a very different explanation
Of our world
Brian Cox:
The universe is made of
Twelve particles of matter
Four forces of nature
That's a wonderful and significant story
Richard Feynman:
Suppose that little things
Behaved very differently
Than anything big
Nothing's really as it seems
It's so wonderfully different
Than anything big
The world is a dynamic mess
Of jiggling things
It's hard to believe
The quantum theory
Is so strange and bizarre
Even Einstein couldn't get his head around it
In the quantum world
The world of particles
Nothing is certain
It's a world of probabilities
It's very hard to imagine
All the crazy things
That things really are like
Electrons act like waves
No they don't exactly
They act like particles
No they don't exactly
Stephen Hawking:
We need a theory of everything
Which is still just beyond our grasp
We need a theory of everything, perhaps
The ultimate triumph of science
I gotta stop somewhere
I'll leave you something to imagine

[deGrasse Tyson]
We are all connected;
To each other, biologically
To the earth, chemically
To the rest of the universe atomically
I think nature's imagination
Is so much greater than man's
She's never going to let us relax
We live in an in-between universe
Where things change all right
But according to patterns, rules,
Or as we call them, laws of nature
I'm this guy standing on a planet
Really I'm just a speck
Compared with a star, the planet is just another speck
To think about all of this
To think about the vast emptiness of space
There's billions and billions of stars
Billions and billions of specks
The beauty of a living thing is not the atoms that go into it
But the way those atoms are put together
The cosmos is also within us
We're made of star stuff
We are a way for the cosmos to know itself
Across the sea of space
The stars are other suns
We have traveled this way before
And there is much to be learned
I find it elevating and exhilarating
To discover that we live in a universe
Which permits the evolution of molecular machines
As intricate and subtle as we
[deGrasse Tyson]
I know that the molecules in my body are traceable
To phenomena in the cosmos
That makes me want to grab people in the street
And say, have you heard this??
(Richard Feynman on hand drums and chanting)
There's this tremendous mess
Of waves all over in space
Which is the light bouncing around the room
And going from one thing to the other
And it's all really there
But you gotta stop and think about it
About the complexity to really get the pleasure
And it's all really there
The inconceivable nature of nature

If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch
You must first invent the universe
Space is filled with a network of wormholes
You might emerge somewhere else in space
Some when-else in time
The sky calls to us
If we do not destroy ourselves
We will one day venture to the stars
A still more glorious dawn awaits
Not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise
A morning filled with 400 billion suns
The rising of the milky way
The Cosmos is full beyond measure of elegant truths
Of exquisite interrelationships
Of the awesome machinery of nature
I believe our future depends powerfully
On how well we understand this cosmos
In which we float like a mote of dust
In the morning sky
But the brain does much more than just recollect
It inter-compares, it synthesizes, it analyzes
it generates abstractions
The simplest thought like the concept of the number one
Has an elaborate logical underpinning
The brain has its own language
For testing the structure and consistency of the world
For thousands of years
People have wondered about the universe
Did it stretch out forever
Or was there a limit
From the big bang to black holes
From dark matter to a possible big crunch
Our image of the universe today
Is full of strange sounding ideas
How lucky we are to live in this time
The first moment in human history
When we are in fact visiting other worlds
The surface of the earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean
Recently we've waded a little way out
And the water seems inviting

For understanding how the world works

We are always at the brink of the known
[Carl Sagan]
Science is a collaborative enterprise
Spanning the generations
We remember those who prepared the way
Seeing for them also
[Neil deGrasse Tyson]
If you're scientifically literate,
The world looks very different to you
And that understanding empowers you
[Richard Dawkins]
There's real poetry in the real world
Science is the poetry of reality
We can do science
And with it, we can improve our lives
[Jill Tarter]
The story of humans is the story of ideas
That shine light into dark corners
[Lawrence Krauss]
Scientists love mysteries
They love not knowing
[Richard Feynman]
I don't feel frightened by not knowing things
I think it's much more interesting
[Brian Greene]
There's a larger universal reality
of which we are all a part
[Stephen Hawking]
The further we probe into the universe
The more remarkable are the discoveries we make
[Carolyn Porco]
The quest for the truth, in and of itself,
Is a story that's filled with insights
From our lonely point in the cosmos
We have through the power of thought
Been able to peer back to a brief moment
After the beginning of the universe

I think that science changes the way your mind works
To think a little more deeply about things
Science replaces private prejudice

Here is this mass of jelly
You can hold in the palm of your hands
And it can contemplate the vastness of interstellar space

The brain has evolved from the inside out
It's structure reflects all the stages through which it has passed
[Jill Bolte Taylor]
Information in the form of energy
Streams in simultaneously
Through all of our sensory systems
And then it explodes into this enormous collage
Of what this present moment looks like
What it feels like
And what it sounds like
And then it explodes into this enormous collage
And in this moment we are perfect
We are whole and we are beautiful
[Robert Winston]
It appears rather gruesome
Wrinkled like a walnut, and with the consistency of mushroom
[Carl Sagan]
What we know is encoded in cells called neurons
And there are something like a hundred trillion neural connections
This intricate and marvelous network of neurons has been called
An enchanted loom
The neurons store sounds too, and snatches of music
Whole orchestras play inside our heads
20 million volumes worth of information
Is inside the heads of every one of us
The brain is a very big place
In a very small space
No longer at the mercy of the reptile brain
We can change ourselves
Think of the possibilities
[Bill Nye]
Think of your brain as a newspaper
Think of all the information it can store
But it doesn't take up too much room
Because it's folded
[Oliver sacks]
We see with the eyes
But we see with the brain as well
And seeing with the brain
Is often called imagination
[Robert Winston]
It is the most mysterious part of the human body
And yet it dominates the way we live our adult lives
It is the brain

Shimla-based travel writer releases his new book "Tea Shop at Narkanda"
SHIMLA- Recently, Shimla-based travel writter, Sumit Raj Vashisht released his new book "Tea Shop at Narkanda".
The book is a story from the hills. Through the life of Birju, the protagonist, the book talks about the victims of the natural calamities such as flash floods and cloud bursts. The over construction, the thinning of forests and increasing number of traffic in the hills are causing various destruction. The so called development is bringing unfortunate desolation. How miserable the life becomes due to the natural calamities in the hills is the flavour of the story. The traditions of the life in the hills, around which the life revolves are fading away, are also talked about in the book.The book is now available on Amazon.
Sumit was born at Shimla in 1967. His father, a railway engineer by profession also a well known Urdu poet under the pen name of Talat Irfani, was never interested in leaving Shimla. But because of his official transfers he had to move first to Rohtak and then to Delhi. Sumit's phase of academic education was spread over these three towns because of which despite being a nature lover and a writer on nature based themes could not acquire the culture of big towns.
Hills, his first love, where he hails from, here he tells stories, conducts educational camps for school children, writes books on his travels, works as a Heritage Guide and a Tour Companion on Himalayan Valleys outings and helps those British who return to India looking for their family history. His innovative ideas of providing experiences to his traveler clients have made Shimla Walks, his company famous.
In his words,
it is impossible for me to live away from the mountains. Mountains travel like blood in my veins and when I inhale; they enter my mind and body.
Sumit has authored five books already but Tea Shop at Narkanda is his first novella.

"When I issued from the sweat, and raised my eyes, I saw the world when it was dark as night; on the whole earth were snakes, scorpions, lizards (stelliones), and noxious creatures of many kinds; and so the other kinds of quadrupeds stood among the reptiles; every approach of the whole earth was as though not as much as a needle's point remained, in which there was no rush of noxious creatures. There was the coming of a planetary star (?) into planetary conjunction, and the moon and planets in fours and fives; many dark forms with the face and curls of Aza-Thoth suffered punishment in company with certain aliens; and I was amazed at calling the wicked out. Lastly, he (the Evil One) came up to the fire, and mingled darkness and smoke with it."
