It's been a while since we've seen Sir step into a crime thriller, but he's returning to the world of grisly murder and intrigue in 2014's Solace. The film is an indie, supernatural thriller with Hopkins on the right side of the law this time, rather than doing Hannibal Lecter-esque things like wearing skin masks and eating 's brain with a nice chianti.
Hopkins will be playing a psychic detective who is drawn out of retirement to help crack one gruesome case (naturally), alongside a jaded, veteran FBI agent () and his ambitious new partner, played by fresh-faced . , who has become quite adept over the years at playing villains, will be playing the serial killer who happens to have supernatural powers of his own.
Principal photography is wrapping up in Atlanta this week with director , and he's been fascinated by the concept since he read the script:
This film has the perfect balance of structure, story and strong characters. I was particularly attracted to the opportunity to explore the cinematic potential of the script and to step into the mind's eye of someone with psychic abilities, played by Anthony Hopkins, and visualize what he sees. Working with Tony, Jeff, Abbie and Colin has been a dream, and I couldn't ask for a better crew to bring it all together.
THR unveiled a first look at Hopkins, Morgan, and Cornish on set:
I'm pretty excited about this one. It boasts a great cast, and an interesting twist on the cop-and-killer story. Plus, I have to root for indie films to do well, especially ambitious ones such as this.

Anything else?
This comment is about my mothers experience whilst at this hospital. She is 84yrs old, already blind in one eye, and has to wait at least 2 hrs before seing a consultant/doctor everytime. The nursing staff are always snotty to her, making her feel worthless. I was appalled when she told me, as my mother never likes to complain. I shall be attending with her next time to assess everything. Our elderly should not be treated or left in this way, considering the Patients Charter states max 30mins waiting time!!!

Vietnamese octogenarian sells peanuts to run charitable bread box
A Vietnamese man in his late 80s has been selling peanuts on a daily basis to save money to buy bread for poor people
|Luu Binh, wearing a wool hat, pick loaves of bread to give poor people in the Central Highlands province of Kon Tum.
Luu Binh, an 87-year-old resident of Quyet Thanh Ward, Kon Tum City, located in Kon Tum Province in the Central Highlands, cycles around the neighborhood and sells boiled peanuts every day.
Most of his earnings are used to buy bread for his charity box, meant to help poor people in the locality.
Asked about any challenge he might be facing, Binh shook his head and smiled broadly.
"Not at all," the octogenarian man answered. "I often wake up early in the morning to cook some 10 kilograms of peanuts before setting off on my bicycle around 7:30 am."
"If the peanuts are not sold out in the morning, I will continue cycling on the streets in the afternoon and evening until I sell them all," Binh continued.
According to the senior citizen, he earns about VND100,000 (US$4.41) per day.
"Thanks to that, I have been able to run my charitable bread box for about two years to help the poor," he elaborated.
He came up with the bread box idea when he noticed the poor living conditions of many people in his neighborhood.
"I started out to make a box and fill it every day with loaves of bread bought with my own money," Binh said.
At first, he would stand by the box, which was placed on a local street, and hand the bread directly as he feared people would hesitate to receive the free loaves.
As local residents have been more willing to accept the aid, Binh only needs to fill the box with 100 loaves of bread every morning, which cost him about VND130,000 ($5.74).
Binh sells his boiled peanuts every day, whether it is rainy or sunny.
If he is too sick to leave the house, he will use his own savings to keep the charity box filled.
Some local residents have joined Binh in this charity from time to time.
The elderly man is now leading a simple life as a vegetarian who loves saving his money to help the community.

Stony Brook takes on preseason favorite Villanova
VILLANOVA, Pa. - -- Stony Brook's opening shutout at Rhode Island was the appetizer, but now the Colonial Athletic Association gantlet begins in earnest with a visit to preseason favorite Villanova on Saturday at 3 p.m. The Seawolves (1-1, 1-0 CAA) scored a 20-10 victory over the Wildcats (0-2, 0-0) in the first round of the FCS playoffs last November, but that was a home game.
"Certainly, we're not cocky because we beat them," Stony Brook coach Chuck Priore said. "We have to play a good football game. It's an away game, and you've got to win your away games."
The Seawolves suffered a heartbreaking 26-23 loss at Buffalo in five overtimes a week ago. Even worse, they lost transfer cornerback Reuben Johnson for the season after he suffered a knee injury.
"He was playing unbelievable," Priore said. "We're going to miss a very good football player, and he was a leader, too."
Backup corner Ivan May also is out with a heel injury, so Priore will start redshirt freshman Jaheem Woods in Johnson's spot. Woods is joining a remodeled secondary that will be tested by Wildcats quarterback John Robertson, who was FCS freshman of the year last season. Stony Brook limited him to 135 passing yards and 85 yards rushing in the playoff game, but the Wildcats had the ball for only 20:28 in that game.
"We know the opponent very well," said strong safety Naim Cheeseboro, who played nickel back and on special teams in the playoff. "They don't really do too much. We just have to keep our eyes on our keys and do our job, and hopefully, we're going to come out with this victory."
As a native of nearby King of Prussia, Pa., who was lightly recruited by Villanova, this game is special to Cheeseboro.
"It's a homecoming for me," he said. "I'm 10 minutes away from Villanova. I'm going to have a lot of people out there -- right now, I'm up to 24 -- and I'm looking forward to it. It's a big one for me."
Cheeseboro made his reputation last season as a big hitter on special teams, and that has carried over to his new job. Along with free safety Christian Ricard and rover Max Martinez, Cheeseboro helps set the tone on defense.
"When things break down, he can find a way to make plays," Priore said of Cheeseboro. "That's the most important position on the field for us. Our leading tacklers should be him, the rover and the free safety. They've done a nice job."

The Ugly Truth Behind the Dollar and the Euro
The dollar and the euro are engaged in an ugly contest.
In a long slide since 2000, the dollar has lost 41% against the euro. After a brief rebound as investors sought safety during the worst of the financial crisis, the greenback again weakened through 2009. But that could change this year.
That might seem odd as, on the face of it, there is little to recommend the dollar. A fed-funds target rate hovering at around zero,...

There are tons of material explaining IoT. Hence without attempting to explain IoT yet again, I will only mention a statement about IoT that I find very interesting and relevant to my understanding of IoT – "IoT is the coming together of electronics engineering and computer sciences to solve problems".
Can IoT indeed be used in Agriculture?
Generally when we talk about technology, the focus is on a better quality of life, more convenience/ ease, hi-tech gadgets and trendy youth as the customers. Therefore it is very difficult to view any new technology through agricultural lens. However IoT changes that perception. IoT and its applications are ubiquitous. They range from the most hi-tech of applications to the most rudimentary and un-thought of use cases. There is no doubt in my mind, that agriculture will be one of the most prominent beneficiaries of IoT in India and globally. IoT has the capacity to reform some basic aspects of Indian agricultural practices.
Use Cases in the context of Indian Agriculture
Globally there are many success stories where IoT has been used to manage farms, crops, farm vehicles, greenhouses and cattle. The results are positive and encouraging. However there is a fundamental difference between agriculture in the western world and agriculture in India.
In India, even today, agriculture is heavily dependent on natural factors. Any unexpected variation in these natural factors negatively impacts the crop yield. Crop yield is the amount of crop (grains, vegetables, fruits) that is produced per unit of fertile land. The crop yield of Indian farms is amongst the lowest globally. The problems India faces in agriculture are totally different than those of the western world. Availability of water, quality of soil, destruction by pests, and correct utilization of fertilizers are some of the key agricultural problems faced by Indian farmers. This is precisely where IoT can play a huge role in eliminating or reducing the impact of some of these external factors.
Some of the use cases that IoT is finding in Indian agricultural scenario are: Monitoring of water levels in different water beds, continuous monitoring/ testing of soil parameters, controlling the amount of pesticides used in the farms and alarming the farmers for farm conditions that can breed pests.
There are pilot tests that have already started in these areas and I hope that very soon we might hear some breakthrough ideas in agriculture led by IoT based solutions.
Smart Agriculture – A Government of India Initiative
The Government of India (Ministry of Communication and Information Technology) has released a draft policy on IoT towards the end of 2015. The department of Electronics and Information technology belonging to the ministry has included, in its draft report, many aspects on how digital transformation and IoT will impact the various facets of Indian economy. It is a pleasant surprise that in section 5.1.6, the government of India has also included the vision for digitalization of Indian farms. The key areas of implementation that the government of India will focus on for smart agriculture are:
- Projects for precision farming – monitoring and data analysis of soil moisture, vibrations, earth density and pests to detect patterns in agricultural conditions.
- Online Projects to update information and retrieve data and insights for farmers.
- Farmers to receive alerts for threshold variance in storage conditions and pest control requirements.
- IoT based solutions like unmanned tools for spray of pest control and other insecticides.
Final Thoughts
IoT is not just a technology but an ecosystem of technologies that can have a profound impact on our lives – personal, professional and social. India is still a land of villages with 75% of population living in rural areas and almost 70% of the population depending on agriculture and agricultural related services/ labour. For India to develop further, it is important that any effort to raise the socio-economic parameters need to start rurally and touch the agricultural based job creation. Unless the concept of Digital India can in some way or another reach the rural population, the results and the outcomes are going to be very minimal. It is therefore, heart rendering that the government of India has recognized it and in some ways laid down the vision for the digital rural India through Smart Agriculture. 'Financial Inclusion' and 'IoT for Agriculture' can be the two pillars to kick-start the journey of rural India towards socio-economic equality. It is now upon the private sector and start-up communities to bring innovations that can help realize these dreams.

General Question
How reliable is the claim that the optimal BMI is 27 because it correlates with maximum life expectancy?
Asked by mattbrowne (31557) January 27th, 2012
The other day I read a short article in a German magazine citing a doctor called Werner Bartens. He mentions studies that point to the fact that an BMI of 27 is optimal for longevity. Unfortunately the names of the studies were not given and when researching the issue online all I get are the standard claims that a BMI of 20 to 25 indicates optimal weight.
Werner Bartens seems to have a good reputation. He got an MD both in Germany and in the US. The German Wikipedia page lists several awards in science journalism.
Does this point an ongoing controversy?
Which BMI studies are reliable?

Ok, I know some of you guys have experience with this.... I've been reading and researching, and I'm still just baffled about
the whole thing, so... here goes:
I was diagnosed with a gluten-intolerance by an "Applied Kenesiologist" on Tuesday of last week. This diagnosis was made by pushing and pulling on my right arm while placing pressure on my abdomen or something, and then sprinkling something on my tongue, and then repeating the exercise. This is weird to me, but traditional methods have left me screwed, so I'm trying to be "
open-minded" about
this kind of "treatment".
So, as I dive into the internet world of gluten-free information, I find that the term "gluten intolerance" is used interchangeably with "celiac disease". This confuses me! If there is a simple blood test to determine the presence of celiac disease, is it really that "uncommon" that I would not have been tested for this in the plethora of nonsense I've been subjected to over the years? Can it really be that stinking simple?
I understand that such a test is NOT in the best interest of the drug companies, because a "celiac" diagnosis would be completely reversible without treatment by pharmaceuticals. I'm trying so hard to not be conspiratorial, but what on earth? I'm calling my GI in the morning to have my medical file checked for any sign of previous testing and the results. I don't imagine I'll get anywhere with the whole thing, but I figured it's worth asking. In the mean time, does anyone have experience with this that they could share? How was anyone else diagnosed with this? Anything is appreciated!

Celiac isn't gluten intolerance, it's a gluten allergy as far as I know. I don't know about
the pulling on your arm, but give it a month and you should be able to tell yourself if you have a intolerance or not...

I'm gluten intolerance, it is not Celiac and is not an allergy all are different. There is no good test for a gluten intolerance, I had one done like what you had. I had the Celiace test and allergy test both were negative. I know there are others on here that eat gluten free and have found it to be easy to do it was for me. There is many good books out there on eating gluten free and you will find you can still eat a lot of what you do know, you just have to read labels more.

You can be gluten intolerant and not have celiac disease. Celiac disease actually causes damage (inflammation and atrophy) to the villi in the small intestines due to an immune response to the protein gluten. There are blood tests (anti-gliadin IgG and IgA) that can alert
a doctor to the potential presence of celiac disease. But it typically is not diagnosed until an intestinal biopsy has been obtained that shows the classic signs of damage caused by celiac disease. Then there is usally a follow up biopsy taken after the patient has been on a gluten free diet to confirm that the intestines have healed once the gluten has been removed from the diet. This site does a fair job of explaining celiac disease, gluten intolerance, and wheat allergies. http://americanceliac.org/cd.htm

I don't have the link, but I read that the blood test for celiac is highly unreliable, and the intestinal biopsy, though more accurate, is not 100%. And as Veebo said, you can be gluten intolerant and not have celiac (intestinal biopsy could be negative for celiac, but you still have issues w/gluten). More and more, it sure seems to me that many people have varying levels of gluten intolerance and by eliminating gluten from their diet, experience marked improvement.
patientspiders, my chiropractor does tests very similar to what you described. Ironically, when my son was about
3 yrs. old my chiro told me he was "wheat sensitive" after doing "muscle testing". We did not eliminate wheat. Hmmmm..... wheat sensitive and a few rounds of antibiotics later.... ....CD. Of course, now on the SCD he gets no gluten.
Yogaprof will hopefully be along to chime in on this. Her story is really something.
I'm certain your doc will do the blood test for celiac if you ask, but I wouldn't put all my stock in it. Rather, eliminate the gluten and see how you feel. Good luck!

I saw a web site that promised to do tests for immune globulin on a fecal sample. They reported that the general population shows about
a 10 - 12% positive response to the blood test for gluten immune globulin and their fecal test showed about
30% of those tested with immune globulins in their gut. The first number (10 -12% for the blood test) I have seen elsewhere and the second one may be just a come-on for their "superior" test - or it may be real. An ELISA test would work on fecal samples just fine, so in principle it could be real.
Those numbers, even if you consider only the first one, shows a lot more of the population is sensitive to wheat than you might think. And if you believe the second set of numbers, then you may as well assume that you are gluten sensitive and eliminate the stuff to test the possibility.
On a slightly different topic, I have seen a couple of acupuncture methods that claim to eliminate allergies to foods or whatever. One is called BioSET and the other is called NAET. They use the muscle testing to determine what allergies you have and then use acupuncture while you are holding the allergen to clear the allergy. The story is that the energy imbalance that is caused by the allergen is corrected by acupuncture. Has anyone here had any experience with this? It sounds too good to be true, but tantalizing.

It does sound too good to be true, but I won't take anything for granted at this point.
I've been doing the gluten-free thing for a week, but now the more I read and research, the more it seems to me that medical professionals want you to be tested BEFORE going on a gluten-free diet. But then, the tests aren't always conclusive (as pointed out), so that might not really get you anywhere... I guess I'll call to see if I was ever tested for the disease, but I'll probably stick with the diet for a few weeks to see what happens, like you all said. Especially since there are folks who tested negative for everything but still find relief from the diet.
Thanks for the links and info everyone... I'll piece it together here one way or another!

here is rather interesting about
the gray area of gluten diagnosis.
I was horribly ill for two years after a dx of crohns, but I had saliva testing by my naturapath and found a gluten intolerance. I tested negative for celiac, but once I stopped gluten I am much better. lots of energy, can eat anything, look better, far less gut pain. life is good!
the way I look at this is that no one needs gluten and I feel better; thus, I don't need a celiac diagnosis.
for lots more info and support, go to
it is a forum like this one with nice folks!
email me if you want to know more, and I am always happy to jump in on these conversations. yp
49 y/o woman. Diagnosed 4/06 after colonscopy, SBFT, CT-scan all showed crohns. 3 months later, after pred and remicade, all tests showed no crohns. December '06 had adhesions cut through a laparoscopy. Now taking Glycolax, Ultra Fiber Plus, Florastor, and DHEA. Have become gluten-free diet per naturopath's tests.

I have some sort of wheat intolerance, but if I eat wheat made with sourdough and take digestive enzymes I tolerate it better.

There are a few ways that wheat can impact your digestion.
1. Wheat and most other grains contain amylase inhibitors which make it hard to digest the starches contained in them. This results in undigested starches entering the gut and feeding gut bacteria, resulting in bacterial overgrowth.
2. The protein in wheat is bound to starch and so it too can be passed into the gut if the starch is not digested.
3. Wheat contains a lectin that damages the gut lining. If there is enough damage, the inflammation that results causes the gut lining to become more porous. The wheat proteins that have entered the gut can then contact the immune system cells underlying the mucous membrane and trigger an allergic reaction to the wheat protein. The immune cells in the mucous lining are more tolerant of foreign proteins to avoid constant activation.
With an allergy developed to wheat proteins, eating wheat causes inflammation in the stomach and gut, especially if the lining is permeable - so we have a self-reinforcing feedback loop that continues as long as wheat is consumed.
Taking digestive enzymes will help to avoid the undigested food entering the gut, but the lectins are still a factor. Since lectins are present in most foods, we have to hope that our systems can tolerate them somewhat and repair any damage that is caused by them. I expect that once an allergy to food proteins is established, it will continue to be present for a long period - a couple of years or more.

VANCOUVER - There are now so many television shows on so many platforms and channels that you almost need a time machine to keep up with them all.
Small wonder, then, that there are several time travel-themed TV shows this season. One is "Timeless," which premieres Monday at 10 p.m. ET/PT on NBC and Global.
The Vancouver-based sci-fi drama stars Abigail Spencer ("Rectify"), Matt Lanter ("90210") and Malcolm Barrett ("The Hurt Locker") as a history professor, a soldier and a scientist recruited to jump back and forth through different eras in pursuit of a time machine bandit.
They're after Garcia Flynn (Goran Visnjic from "ER"), a criminal mastermind bent on changing the course of American history. It's "Quantum Leap" with a healthy dose of the Canadian series "Continuum" thrown in. Shawn Ryan ("The Shield") is among the executive producers.
On the day of this set visit, for episode 5, they chase Flynn back to June 20, 1972 — a couple of days after the infamous burglary at the Watergate Hotel. The writer of the episode, Kent Rotherham, studied "All the President's Men" and dug into history books to bone up on the subject.
Vancouver doubles for Washington as posters of Nixon from his '72 re-election campaign are slapped on the walls of a dilapidated suburban hotel/bowling alley designated as a "fleabag" in the script. A local reporter described the place as a biker motel she'd always been too scared to enter.
Outside in the parking lot, a dozen classic cars were parked, all sporting cardboard Washington licence plates. There's a '65 Mustang parked next to a VW Bug facing a late '60s Ford Fairlane Ranchero.
The cast was decked out in early '70s duds. Spencer looked right at home in her long, tailored, orange suede top coat.
"I'm a total fashion history geek," she says. "I love vintage clothing." Working on "Mad Men" helped her acquire a taste for the fashions of the '60s, but she's very into the '40s look too.
Barrett was a little less comfortable in his tight bell-bottom jeans.
"I'm dressed just like my dad did back then," he says.
Also squeezed into a pair of bell bottoms is Chad Rook, who plays Flynn's ruthless accomplice, Karl.
"Those are tight, I tell ya," says Rook. He's a little put off by some of the other fashion faux pas of the '70s. "You immediately feel less cool strangling someone when your hair is feathered."
The Lethbridge, Alta., native joins the series in episode 2. "I'm the guy who does all the killing and the shooting and the travelling with (Flynn)," says Rook. "I always wanted to do a period piece and now I get to do every period piece there is."
Other episodes have seen local landmarks such as the Richmond Centre turned into a section of the Las Vegas strip during the '50s. "It was really a surreal thing to see," says Rook, describing how giant signs promoting Sammy Davis Jr. were erected for the shoot.
Early episodes take viewers back to the explosion of the German passenger airship The Hindenburg in 1937, the assassination of U.S. president Abraham Lincoln in 1865 as well as a critical battle during the Second World War.
"We're not allowed to break certain rules — at least for now," says Visnjic, a self-avowed sci-fi fan. "For example, you're not allowed to go to the time you already existed."
Flynn, viewers will learn, has a strong personal motivation for going back in time. All the main characters, in fact, carry secrets.
"We go on these weekly adventures," says Lanter, "but stories will change and shape, and we'll see who the enemy is at the end of the day."
All of the characters face the same time travel conundrums that have beset characters on "Time Tunnel," "Star Trek" and "Back to the Future."
"You're sitting there in the Ford's Theatre next to Abraham Lincoln and you can tell him to duck," says Visnjic, but what are the consequences? "It can wreak complete havoc even if it looks like a brilliant idea in the moment. You're going to be asking yourself, almost every episode, 'What would I do?'"
The cast was asked many times what era they'd jump back to if they had the chance.
Spencer says the '40s. "I love the look."
Lanter says he'd be a fly on the wall at the Last Supper. "Can you imagine?"
Barrett was not going there. "Going back in time," he says, "is not so good for African-Americans."
While in Vancouver Bill Brioux was a guest of Global Television. He is a freelance TV columnist based in Brampton, Ont.

Apple slowly moves into original programming
While Apple's Eddy Cue says they're not interested in original programming, that's not 100% true. Cue said that Apple was only interested in the content space when the projects are tied to its existing products.
That makes sense as a lot of the original programming has been music oriented, like Apple Music Festival and Car Pool Karaoke being used to promote Apple Music.
But it does not explain Planet of the Apps! I think Apple will be interested in original programming as soon as its seen to be strategically valuable. It's a topic I've written on before in an article from December 2009.
What if Apple or Google simply bypassed Networks and Studios? which does some rough financial calculations which show that Apple could fund as much TV Show and Movie production as they want!
I'm also not the only one who thinks there will be more Apple original programming in the future:
From Variety: Apple Eyes Move Into Original Programming
Fast Company (as part of a bigger piece) suggest Apple is covertly pursuing original television programming deals.
And in yesterday's Q3 Earnings Report Apple CEO Tim Cook said that we have to think about the Apple TV (current generation with tvOS) in a different way.
Cook: The introduction of the Apple TV and tvOS last October and the subsequent OS releases, what's coming out this fall… think of that as sort of building the foundation for what we believe can be a broader business over time. I don't want to be more precise than that, but you shouldn't look at what's there today and think: "we've done what we want to do." We've built a foundation that we can do something bigger off of.
Given that Apple are slowly repositioning themselves to rely more on services revenue, and Apple TV is a foundation… Let the speculation begin.
"Works with iMovie/Final Cut Pro X" Trademarks
7 Comments · Posted by Philip in Apple, Apple Pro Apps
Patently Apple reports Apple have filed for Trademarks for: 'Mac – Works with iMovie', 'Mac – Works with Final Cut Pro X' & Combo of Both.
This certainly isn't the first time Apple have filed for "Works with" Trademarks, and that's what makes it interesting. Previously these type of trademarks have been for Apple Ecosystems, like iPhone, iOS, iPad, CarPlay, AirPrint, et al.
While I have no idea what it might mean – developers have no clues yet – it is interesting that iMovie and Final Cut Pro X are being considered as part of a larger ecosystem. For those who don't know, these days iMovie is a version of Final Cut Pro X with a simplified interface.
Apple to create original programming?
1 Comment · Posted by Philip in Apple, The Business of Production
According to an article on MacRumors today, Apple is negotiating with Studios and Producers to create original programming for Apple TV. Two thoughts.
Apple have long created their own content by running music festivals and recording the performances.
It's been a long time coming, but I thing it was inevitable. Back in late 2009 I postulated on What if Apple or Google simply bypassed Networks and Studios? My conclusion then:
Clearly, either Google or Apple could destroy the existing content production industries without borrowing or risking their business. Just what leverage do the current middlemen really have?
It's a strategy that's working well for Netflix and Amazon.
Apple adds to its Derived Metadata technologies
Comments off · Posted by Philip in Apple, Metadata, The Technology of Production
I first wrote about derived metadata back at the end of January 2009. Derived metadata uses computer analysis to derive metadata from the video source. There are now technologies for speech-to-text, meaning extraction, facial detection, facial recognition, emotion detection, image recognition, and more. One company has been accumulating these somewhat diverse technologies: Apple.
Randy Ubillos: Retirement and Final Cut Pro X
1 Comment · Posted by Philip in Apple, Apple Pro Apps
You may have read that Randy Ubillos – Chief Architect, Video Applications at Apple – retired after 20 years with Apple, yesterday. I've had the great privilege of meeting him from time to time, and offer my hearty congratulations on his retirement, the strongest of best wishes for the future, and heartfelt thanks for largely making my career possible.
The question on everyone's lips is "how does this affect Final Cut Pro X?" My honest thought is "not much". There are concepts in Final Cut Pro X that clearly came from Randy's mind, but so also did the original Premiere Pro (1-4.2), the original Final Cut (Pro) (aka Keygrip at Macromedia), Aperture where he was lead architect, and iMovie 08. There were other apps before that, and the full history can be found in Timelines 2 by John Buck.
Randy was also an important part of the team that developed Final Cut Pro X, but more in the role of supervising architect, rather than as part of the detailed group of Product Marketing, App Design, and App Architecture. The people working in those key roles remain in those key roles, and I sense nothing that would affect, or change the direction Apple are taking with Final Cut Pro X. Final Cut Pro X is in exceptionally good hands moving forward.
As I've written before, the tools of creative endeavor will always be part of Apple's DNA, and therefore I expect we'll see evolution of the tools over time, but never abandonment. There will always be professional, and consumer level, audio, video and photography apps in Apple's world.
Professionally, I've benefited from (writing an unreleased book about) Premiere Pro; from decades of Final Cut Pro classic; and from Final Cut Pro X. I still prefer Aperture over Photos but I'm keeping an open mind that the metadata functions in Photos will improve. For all that, I simply say "Thank you".
Finally, a little bit of advice from Randy, on taking "holiday videos" (I may paraphrase slightly):
At each location, take out the video camera and shoot a shot. Now, put the camera away and enjoy your holiday and the location in the present.
My Take on NAB 2015
3 Comments · Posted by Philip in Adobe, Apple, Video Technology
A very subjective take on NAB 2015 because I spent very little time looking at tech! Instead my focus was on the FCPWORKS demo room and particularly my Lumberjack System presentation on Wednesday. But, of course, NAB is also about the socializing.
Modern Family Episode shot on iDevices
Comments off · Posted by Philip in Apple, The Technology of Production
CNET are reporting that the February 25th Episode (Season 6 Episode 16) was shot with iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2 (with a little assist from a MacBook Pro). An iPad Air 2 was my primary "camera" for my family history video shoot back in early January.
Final Cut Pro X 10.1.4
12 Comments · Posted by Philip in Apple, Apple Pro Apps
Out of the blue, Apple announces Final Cut Pro X 10.1.4, which includes some key stability improvements. There is also a Pro Video Formats 2.0 software update, which provides native support for importing, editing, and exporting MXF files with Final Cut Pro X. While FCP X already supported import of MXF files from video cameras, this update extends the format support to a broader range of files and workflows.
– Option to export AVC-Intra MXF files
– Fixes issues with automatic library backups
– Fixes a problem where clips with certain frame rates from Canon and Sanyo cameras would not import properly
– Resolves issues that could interrupt long imports when App Nap is enabled
– Stabilization and Rolling Shutter reduction works correctly with 240fps video
Jon Chapelle of Digital Rebellion has noted that the support for MXF is much wider than just Pro Apps. What is interesting is that the MXF components seem to be QuickTime based, rather than AV Foundation, probably for historic reasons.
AVFoundation gets massive upgrade in Yosemite
15 Comments · Posted by Philip in Apple, Apple Pro Apps, Interesting Technology
As Final Cut Pro X – and other modern video apps – are built on Frameworks from the core OS, those Frameworks sometimes provide clues to Apple's thinking. One that we care a lot about is AVFoundation, which is the modern replacement for QuickTime at the application and OS level. We've seen this in the transition from QuickTime Player 7, which is built on QuickTime (both QTKit and the older C API). Unfortunately AVFoundation has lacked many features that are essential for video workflows, so I watch the features added to AVFoundation as a way of understanding where video apps might go.
Firstly, there has been a massive update to AVFoundation in Yosemite, and it appears we get reference movies back.
A good day for Final Cut Pro X
10 Comments · Posted by Philip in Adobe, Apple, Apple Pro Apps
FCP.co's lead story today is good news for Apple and Final Cut Pro X – The BBC are adopting more than 1000 seats of Final Cut Pro X for news. To be fair, the BBC seems to be adopting both Final Cut Pro X and Premiere Pro across their own production units, and some remain on installs of Media Composer, but News seems to be going Final Cut Pro X exclusively.
My Apple PR contacts tell me that Final Cut Pro X is also being used on "several popular daytime shows" as well.
In other good news, not reported (yet) on FCP.co, the French TF1 group have also adopted Final Cut Pro X. According to this Tweet both Premiere Pro CC and Final Cut Pro X were tested, with Final Cut Pro X getting the gig.
Of course, come IBC I'm sure Adobe will share some of their new partners as well, and no doubt, increased Creative Cloud subscribers.

Computer Science
This section of our website is currently being updated and will be fully published by December.
Computer Science is a developing subject at Fort Pitt. All students follow a Computer Science curriculum in years 7 and 8 and this then gives them the opportunity to opt for GCSE Computer Science. From September 2017 students will opt to do A-Level Computer Science. Both Computer Science teachers are specialists with programming backgrounds; both have previously been examiners. The department is on a journey to develop the interest in the subject across the school by raising its profile as a subject for girls and for boys in the Sixth Form.
The Department offers a number of enrichment activities to enhance pupils' achievement and enjoyment of the subject.

Lion Capital
Lion Capital was established by Bruce Parncutt in 2000. Since then, Lion Capital has managed and grown a range of in-house investment portfolios as well as providing corporate and strategic advice to a select group of clients. The business was expanded in 2012 when Craig Jensz joined to lead the corporate advisory practice.
The Lion Rolling Mills
The origins of the Lion Capital name go back to 1885 when Bruce Parncutt's great grandfather, Abraham Parncutt, along with four partners, formed The Lion Rolling Mills, a manufacturer of bar, angle and tee iron products from its factory in South Melbourne.
The Lion Rolling Mills Limited (later Proprietary Limited) was registered in 1893 in accordance with the Registration of Firms Act 1892, with initial paid up capital of £25,000. By 1925 The Lion Rolling Mills was a substantial business employing 117 workers and using each month 300 tons of scrap metal and 400 tons of BHP Newcastle steel.
The business operated as an independent firm until 1929 when it merged with Victoria Iron & Steel Mills Proprietary Limited of West Melbourne to become Melbourne Iron & Steel Mills Proprietary Limited.
In addition to this early involvement in a merger and acquisition transaction, The Lion Rolling Mills' near neighbour Australian Iron & Steel was acquired in 1935 by the Broken Hill Propriety Company Limited (BHP) in return for 20% of the shares of BHP. One can only ponder what may have been had BHP's desire to become involved in downstream iron and steel product manufacturing and distribution been realised, instead, through the acquisition of The Lion Rolling Mills!

Photo: Bernie Fine In Attendance At Syracuse vs. Miami Game
Syracuse fans may see look up and see a familiar face in the crowd at Saturday's game against the Miami Hurricanes. Former assistant coach Bernie Fine, who was fired by the school back in 2011 after accusations of sexual molestation surfaced, is in Miami to watch his former program take the court. According to syracuse.com, Fine worked with Hurricanes coach Jim Larranaga over the winter break to teach him how Jim Boeheim's 2-3 zone works.
NOW: Bernie Fine is at today's @Cuse game. He's standing 5 feet from me. pic.twitter.com/NQLew9CNuC

Fine was never charged with any crime, but the school has moved to disassociate itself from the former assistant.

You guys! There is so much awesome-ness happening today. I feel like my little heart is about to burst out of my chest.
First. It's Cinco de Mayo, which is one of my favorite eating days of the year. And let's be honest, it's also one of my favorite drinking days too. Hello margaritas the size of my face!
Second. It also happens to be 30 Minute Thursday. If you're not familiar with 30 Minute Thursday, it's a once a month thingy that myself and some of my blogging friends put together in which we share recipes that can be made in 30 minutes or less (you can find last month's 30 Minute Thursday post here). Be sure to check out the links posted below for all the goods. Hint: there are a lot of Mexican-inspired dishes happening in this month's installment. Try one out tonight!
And third. This little bloggity blog celebrated a Birthday a few days ago. Floating Kitchen is now THREE! Yahoo! But because I'm apparently a bad parent, I neglected to make a cake or any other type of celebratory dessert. Boo hoo. Instead, we're going to have to settle for these kick-ass vegetarian Plantain and Black Bean Tacos with Chimichurri Sauce.
So I think these tacos kind of speak for themselves. I mean, just look at them. Aren't they gorgeous? Who knew tacos could be so beautiful? They have me feeling all giddy inside.
I'm absolutely obsessed with using plantains for plant-based recipes. Although you wouldn't know that based on the collection of recipes on this site, for which there is only one other one that uses plantains. Shameful. I know. I'll work on fixing that. In the meantime, if you have any favorite plantain recipes, please tell me so I can try them out!
Plantains can be used for cooking at any stage of ripeness, but they will be sweeter and less starchy the more ripe they are. They are often sold while still green, but I prefer to wait until they start to turn yellow before using them.
I hope you enjoy lots of tacos, nachos and margaritas tonight! And if you try my Plantain and Black Bean Tacos with Chimichuri Sauce, or any of the other recipes from our #30MinuteThursday series, be sure to give us a shout out on social media. We love to see what you're cooking at home!

The radical Islamist group Ansaru on Sunday claimed the recent kidnapping of a French citizen in northern Nigeria, citing France's push for military intervention in Mali as a justification.
Ansaru "announces to the world, especially the French government, that it was responsible for the abduction of engineer Francis Colump, 63, working for the French company Vergnet," said a statement emailed to journalists.
Late last Wednesday some 30 gunmen stormed Vergnet's residence in Katsina state, where the alternative energy firm has a wind power project.
"The reason for his kidnap is the stance of the French government and the French people on Islam," said the statement written in Hausa, the dominant language in Nigeria's mainly Muslim north.
The group specifically pointed to "France's major role in the (planned) attack on the Islamic state in northern Mali."
It also cited France's "law outlawing the use of Islamic veil by Muslim women."
Paris has backed plans to deploy a west African force to northern Mali to flush out the Al-Qaeda-linked Islamist groups who took control of the vast desert territory earlier this year.
Last year, France passed a law banning the wearing of the full-face veil.
"We inform the French government that this group will continue launching attacks on the French government and French citizens ... as long as it does not change its stance on these two issues," the Ansaru statement said.
Ansaru is less well known than Islamist group Boko Haram, which is waging a deadly insurgency across northern Nigeria that has killed hundreds since 2009. Boko Haram has said it wants to create an Islamic state in the north.
The two groups are known to have ties but are seen as independent.
In November, Britain's interior ministry identified Ansaru as a "Nigeria-based terrorist organisation" and declared membership or support for it illegal.
The group's full name, Jama'atu Ansarul Muslimina fi Biladis Sudan, is roughly translated as "Vanguards for the aid of Muslims in black Africa."
Britain has said the group likely has ties to Al-Qaeda's north Africa franchise, Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, and may have been responsible for the 2011 kidnapping of a Briton and an Italian in northern Nigeria. Both hostages were killed in March.
French President Francois Hollande on Friday told the Europe 1 radio station that Colump's kidnappers were "probably linked to AQIM or the groups which are today in Mali."
The police chief in Katsina, Abdullahi Magaji, told AFP that there were indications that former or current employees of Vergnet had been involved, arguing that the attack appeared to be "an inside job."
France's public prosecutor has launched a preliminary investigation into the abduction, treating it as the work of "an organised band related to a terrorist group", according to a judicial source.
Kidnappings are common in Nigeria, Africa's most populous country, but most abductions have targetted expatriates working for energy companies in the oil producing south.

I love a good cocktail as much as the next girl, but honestly, there's nothing better than sinking your teeth into a flavorful, juicy burger paired with an ice cold ale or lager. To me, that's comfort- why make a fuss when you can keep it simple with great food and even better beers?
The first time I visited Exile was shortly after I had moved to Des Moines, Iowa. Around the same time, I was doing research for two beer-related articles (you know when your research includes beer, you're in a good career field!) and I was in the market for trying new beers. After my first visit, I continued to buy Exile's full-flavored brews at my local grocery store. I genuinely enjoyed the taste of each beer, the perfectly-executed meals, and the atmosphere Exile Brewery Co. had to offer.
Ultimately, that's what kept me coming again and again and what also motivated me to feature Exile as part of my new #MyDesMoines series on this blog.
About Exile Brewing Co.
Exile's philosophy is a tribute to the founding family's hard work and the journey immigrants take that make up the American Dream. The brewing company's logo, Lady Liberty's crown, represents new opportunities, possibilities and hope through perseverance- and also celebration once hard work pays off.
The brewery itself is host to a the brewing equipment that makes the production of Exile beer possible. The space also has a beer hall, dining area and outdoor seating in the warmer months and offers brewery tours every Saturday.
Exile's Beers
There are four staple beers that are continuously produced- The Hannah (a Bavarian Wheat); The Beatnik Sour (a Berliner-style Weisse); The Ruthie (a Gold Lager); and the Gigi (a dark lager.) There's also a large mix of seasonal beers that are on tap, all the more reason to visit the brewery in person! My personal favorite Exile beers are the Ruthie, the Hannah, the Cherry Bohemian Sour Ale, the Raspberry Bohemian Sour Ale and the Sir Moch-a Lot.
Exile's beers are only distributed on draught at the brewery or sold in bottles throughout the state of Iowa- so if you're passing through, make sure you give the beers a try (or take some home with you!)
Pictured above, the black and bleu burger, buffalo chicken bites and the pig wings, all paired with the Cherry Bohemian sour ale.
The Restaurant:
The building has both a dining area and a beer hall. The beer hall is filled with beautiful natural light and is great for grabbing beers after work or for casual dining. The restaurant area has more intimate seating areas and a great bar area as well (my go-to spot is the beer hall or the bar.)
Executive Chef Craig Vorba said that one of the best aspects of creating meals for Exile is that he can touch every base with food, beers and satisfaction, all while enjoying what he does.
"We have so many beer options and we have pride in our kitchen," he said. "[Our staff] is passionate and we want to provide a wow factor- it's so rewarding leaving work with a smile on your face."
The menu, which boasts several different categories- all of which are filled with crowd-pleasing options- is sure to please even the pickiest of eaters. One of my favorite things about the menu is the variety- each time I visit Exile, I am able to try a different starter and meal (and I've enjoyed each one so far!)
What to Try:
Buffalo Chicken Bites:
According to Chef Vorba, the buffalo chicken bites are the most popular starter on the menu. I loved these because the mild spiciness of the buffalo sauce was just right for me and I feel like this is a great way to start your Exile journey.
Pig Wings:
The pig wings were perfectly crispy on the outside and melt-in-your-mouth tender on the inside- plus the sweet chili sauce was meant for these honey soy glaze drenched wings.
Black and Bleu Burger:
If you're in the mood for a down-right flavorful and hearty burger that hits the spot, the black and bleu burger is the one for you.

Shooting Another Photographer's Wedding
The Photographer's Wedding Photographer
I'd known Ben since college where we studied photography together from 2000-2003 in Kent. A talented photographer, he had been short-listed for numerous photo awards including the prestigious Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize. Having both freelanced for a few years we had many mutual friends, many of whom were also photographers.
When he asked me to photograph HIS wedding I felt honoured but I also knew I was going to be in for an interesting day as I'd be covering a wedding with some of the world's top photographers present as guests! No Pressure ;) I guess you know you're good when another photographer asks you to be their wedding photographer!
