Aaron Sorkin's New HBO Series Gets a Name
The newest series from Aaron Sorkin about the behind-the-scenes action at a fictional television program has just gotten a title, MediaBistro reports. Sorkin's newest is said to be titled Newsroom and will star Jeff Daniels as the lead anchor of a popular cable news show called "News Night."
We first reported on Sorkin's latest back in June when Tom's hero Sam Waterston signed on to the show (at the time known as More As This Story Develops). Since then, we've learned that HBO has ordered a full series. I haven't been able to find any info about when we can expect to actually see this show hit the air, but I do know that I feel much more confident that it is on HBO and not a major network. We will of course follow additional news about Newsroom as it develops.
Sam Waterston Joins Aaron Sorkin's Latest
The man, the myth, the legend, Sam Waterston has officially joined Aaron Sorkin's upcoming television show, a cable news anchor drama tentatively titled More As This Story Develops. Like every previous Sorkin show, this one will give us a behind the scenes look at the hectic life of an occupation that you probably wouldn't want to see a television show about if it wasn't written by Aaron Sorkin. Jeff Daniels will star as the aforementioned anchor while Waterston will play his boss. While details on the production are scarce, here's what we do know: people will walk and talk (quickly, in both cases), friends will become enemies, enemies will become friends, it will make us laugh, it will make us cry, and it will get cancelled because it's too "smart".
What's that, Virginia? No, I'm not still bitter about Studio 60.
Really, I'm just pumped to see Sam Waterston in a new role. In the same way that Pinocchio had Jiminy Cricket, and True Romance's Clarence had Val Kilmer's Elvis, in times of great stress or adversity I am often comforted by the wise words of Jack "Hang 'Em High" McCoy. Remember, "There's no statute of limitations on murder".
Review: The Social Network
In May of 2005, I had just graduated from high school. A friend of mine was visiting from out of town, and while I was messing around on the internet one day, he said, "Hey, have you signed up for Facebook yet?" Never having heard of it, I asked what it was. He signed in and showed me what it was all about. I was delighted to learn that my school was one of only 100 or so that had access to the service at the time, so I signed up with my shiny new college e-mail address and began customizing everything. Of course back then, there were really only profiles, profile pictures, and walls. Little did I realize what a social phenomenon (and almost necessity) Facebook would become over the next five years.
I also didn't know it at the time, but Facebook had already been around for over a year by the time I was first introduced to it, and it is that year with which The Social Network concerns itself. The new film from director David Fincher and writer Aaron Sorkin tells the story of the inception and rise of Facebook, looking at the lives of founders and best friends Mark Zuckerberg and Eduardo Saverin. The story is well crafted, the film is well shot, and the acting is superb. Read on to find out why The Social Network is all over your news feed.

13 year old raped by auto-rickshaw driver in the city
A 13-year-old girl was raped by an auto-rickshaw driver inside her own house at Saidabad while her mother was away. The accused, Syed Amjed, 28 is an acquaintance of the victim's mother. Police caught the suspect with the help of locals from the area. However, an official arrest is yet to be made.The victim is still under the observation of doctors.
Amjad, a resident of Chandrayangutta, who is married, used to visit the victim's house earlier. "We suspect that he was a lover of the victim's mother and used to come to her house regularly. That's how he entered the house on Wednesday," said an official from Saidabad.The victim's father had died four years ago and her family was living in a small house in the colony.Police booked a case against Amjed under Section 376 and under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO).

When we first got married we spent 7 months in the "Utah Bottoms" on the Dolores River care taking 6 rustic cabins on a 400-acre wilderness ranch. Our drinking water was stored in an old school cedar holding tank sealed by the swollen wood alone. Utah Bottoms on the Dolores (as it's described on the old topo maps from the region) is about 12 miles up river from the confluence of the Colorado River.
It was the most intense, yet beautiful living experience of my life. Real hard livin. 40 miles from Moab, UT (10 miles from a paved road and closest neighbors...at Dewey Bridge on rt 128) and 60 miles from Grand Junction, CO.
Of course this was before the days of AvantLink, but I was very active online then as well. In fact our Internet connection was our only real access to the rest of the world. The old Satellite phone at the ranch barely worked, let alone cell phones.
The dogs had the time of their lives there. Free to roam as long and as far as they wanted.
At any rate I would do it again in a heart beat for that time period, but longer term it would get too difficult. What with the once every ten day (and two hour one way) drive into Moab for provisions and all

Hey Guys
I could not help remembering the song - by America
"You see Ive been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
Cause there aint no one for to give you no pain"
Got quite nostalgic by the vivid description by Gary I will definitely visit the Moab (update my list of 100 places to visit before I die). Nevertheless, by matching with her facial expression, it seemed that she did not mean this nice way!!

The desert is beautiful and visiting for a week or a month is fantastic but I know I'd eventually miss the coastal terrain and climate.

I read widely from many genres. Perhaps this blog will feature fewer ratings and reviews, but I certainly intend to write about my reading life - it's the subject I most find myself wanting to talk about.
Independence Day weekend is here in the U.S., and Canada Day weekend celebrations are happening 100 miles north of my location. There are still a lot of summer weekends to fill with reading at the lake, on the beach, or just on your deck or balcony. And have I got a title for you . . .
My friend, Aaron Poochigian recently published "Mr. Either/Or," a novel in verse (Etruscan Press). Get it online from Powell's http://www.powells.com/book/mr-either-or-9780997745528/62-0 or have your favorite locally-owned, independent bookstore order it through Consortium.
Now, I know what you're thinking: "A novel in verse? How can that possibly be a summer weekend read, Carissa?" Okay, imagine this: A classic film noir (Act I), combined with a super-episode of "The X Files" (Act II), with characters that will make you miss "Alias," and a climax worth of a Marvel movie.
Mr. Either/Or is either an ivy-league college student soaking slacking his way through higher education, or he's a government spook, running business as a secret operative for some shady characters. Well, he's both. And this novel is a pretty rollicking adventure that makes full use of the classic landscapes of Manhattan.
You've never read a novel in verse? Don't worry, I had only read one before this myself (more about that in a future post). You don't read much poetry at all? Well, I won't chastise you for that here. Just let me say: Don't let it stop you.
If you're just getting started with poetry, read the novel sentence by sentence. Don't worry about things your Intro to Poetry teacher insisted you pay attention to - line endings, rhyme, rhythmic feet, caesuras (what the heck were those again?). Poochigian's sentences are not opaque, and you'll feel them fine.
What the verse does here is provide a be-bop jazzy soundtrack to the story. It highlights fun word play and pop-culture references. And most importantly, it keeps the pages turning.
Try "Mr. Either/Or" - you'll like it, and you'll be passing it around your campfire to other readers in your crowd before Labor Day.
One week from today, I'm going to see Tracy K. Smith give a reading. That's not the breaking news - I've been planning it for months.
The news is, today she was named the new U.S. Poet Laureate. I was excited before. Now I'm on Cloud 9.
I'm also in the process of reading both "Life on Mars" and "Ordinary Light." Both so, so good.
I've been on a bit of a reading slump in the month of May.
Oh, I'm still reading every day. But instead of having 3-5 books going on in various categories, I've mostly just been reading Philippa Gregory novels. To mixed effect. (You can read more about that in my last post here: http://carissagreen50.booklikes.com/post/1566197/in-her-head.) And always a poem, or two or three, every day (mostly).
I suppose it's partly an end-of-school-year thing. Lots of energy gets invested in the last weeks of April and beginning of May when you work in academia, regardless of your job. I also read like a champion in February-March, preparing for our university's Writers Conference, completing a personal project, and working my way through August Wilson's Century Cycle, one of my 2017 reading marathons.
Being in a slump with relatively low reading energy and focus was frustrating, because good things continued to happen in my reading life. A friend sent me his new novel (look for a column on that soon). An interlibrary loan request fell through, so our local library just purchased the book and reserved it straight through for me, which was nice. Another friend published a new middle grade novel. There's a writer's conference with free public readings coming up in my area in June.
But now it's Memorial Day Weekend, the official summer kick-off, and time to publish my Summer Reading List for 2017. You can read the "app" list on BookLikes here: http://booklikes.com/apps/reading-lists/792/summer-reading-list-2017. Each book fits a category that I've been working with for the last several years of these lists, and I'm going to walk you through my choices below:
1. An Ian McEwan novel - "Nutshell." McEwan is one of my favorite living authors, and "Nutshell" is his fall 2016 release - too late for last summer's list. Last summer, I read "The Comfort of Strangers" from far into his backlist, and it was firmly in the "Ian Macabre" phase of his career. I'm happy to get back to his more current oeuvre.
2. A Michael Chabon novel - "Moonglow." One of my other favorite living writers. I went to the Cities back in December for Chabon's book signing. I've saved the book for this summer because, except for graphic novels and screenplays, I'm pretty much completely caught up with his published books.
3. A recent "big" book - "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" by Rebecca Skloot. I just can't be the last person on planet earth to read this important, beloved book. Plus: Oprah movie.
4. A classics I have neglected - "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall" by Anne Bronte. Saw that Bronte biopic on PBS earlier this spring and realized I had completely neglected poor Anne.
5. A YA / Middle Grade book - "Wonder" by R.J. Palacio. Film releasing soon (always read the book first). My boss' kids loved it. Who didn't love it?
6. A play - Finish August Wilson's Century Cycle, so the last play, "Radio Golf," will stand for that.
7. A baseball book - "Slouching Toward Fargo" by Neal Karlen. Last year, I discovered a cool website called the Casey Awards, which honors the best baseball books of each year. These kinds of "best of" lists are one of my true loves, and from it, I found a book that not only fulfills the "baseball" part of my summer but also relates to the region of the country in which I live.
8. A recommendation from a friend - "The Luminaries" by Eleanor Catton. Both my aunt, who read it before her NZ adventure, and my friend D., who included the book in his students' syllabus last year, said I'd like it. Say no more.
9. The book from last year's list that didn't get read - "Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell" by Susanna Clarke
Not on the list, but coming up quickly, will be "Life on Mars" and possibly another work by Tracy K. Smith, who is reading in my area on June 21. Poetry (always) and plenty more to be determined. Won't you read along with me?
I've been on a kick with Philippa Gregory novels lately. They've taken the place in my reading schedule of the "bath book" - mass-market historical romances that I read in the bathtub in the morning. I've finished the Cousins' War cycle and traveled into the Tudors. I may read a few more before drifting away from her again, or perhaps not.
I really like a few things about Gregory's novels; equally, there are a few things that I don't like so much. She's wonderful with character - especially women. She gives a historical voice to females who often either had no public voice or whose public image was shaped by men over the centuries. She gives the plots and machinations of Renaissance politics great atmosphere.
When reading Gregory, one must remember that she's playing fast-and-loose with history, and some of her choices regarding characters who are historic figures and their motivations have absolutely no documentation. These are historical FICTION, not History with a capital H. But they're pretty fun and easy to digest.
What I don't like - often her stories feel remarkably passionless. She covers so many years - decades even - of time in a novel it feels like driving through history at 55 mph. And her writing style sometimes confounds me. That was the case in "The Constant Princess," the story of the young years of Katherine of Aragon.
Gregory's novels, for me, are most successful when they use a first-person point of view, and as a reader you spend the entire book inside the main character's head. "The Constant Princess" inexplicably shifts from third-person to first person, with only a change in typeface. The first-person sections are not diary entries. They are not testimony, nor are they letters. They are not even extended thought bubbles, as scenes happen within them. It's just the author wanting to have the best of both worlds - the ability to live in an omniscient world and to be inside her character's thoughts.
However, there were things about "The Constant Princess" that I really, really loved. First and foremost, I naively have spent my whole life believing Katherine of Aragon's testimony that she and Arthur Prince of Wales never consummated their marriage. Henry was the bad guy. Why would Katherine ever lie?
Why, indeed? Could I never see before how much was at stake for her before? This novel not only removed that blinder, but Gregory chooses to give them a passionate, tender love story, making his death even more poignant. It was by far the most compelling part of this novel, and I was moved.
I would love to read a Catalina/Arthur love story again - this time at a slightly higher level of presentation.
I've decided to add some new shelf tags to my blog.
Firstly, inspired by "Lincoln in the Bardo," (which I have not yet read) I'm going to add a shelf called "What the Heck," or, "WTF?" This shelf will be dedicated to books whose premise, or plot, or characters are weird enough for me to say, "What the heck did I just read?" And that's usually a good thing.
Top of the list: Mark Helprin's "Winter's Tale." Also on the list (or soon to be): Nabokov's "Pale Fire" - perhaps the ultimate WTF novel. Probably some stuff by my beloveds Chabon and McEwan. You get where I'm going here.
"Winter's Tale" also reminds me of another tag that's important to my literary life and needs to be added: "New York Stories." I've only visited the city once (what a trip), but it's held a huge place in my reader's imagination throughout my life. I need to remember to tag my New York Stories as I read them.
My friend, Kurtis Scaletta's new book, "Rooting for Rafael Rosales" is released today.
The launch party celebration for his newest middle-grade novel is today (Tuesday, April 25, 2017) at Red Balloon Bookstore, Minneapolis, so if you're in the Twin Cities, get on out. Bring your younger friends. Buy a copy or two. Donate one to your local school library. You know, support my friend AND literature.
While you're at it, look up Kurtis Scaletta's backlist. His books are great reads for the younger set, and I've enjoyed them, too.
I always set my reading goal for new books (not counting re-reads) in a year at 52 - a nice number that represents a book a week.
Usually, I go over and end up around 60-70. Last year, I came THIS CLOSE to 80.
Well, I'm officially half-way to my 52 book goal, with just under a third of the year passed. And the summer reading season is still a month away.
Could this be my 80 book year? It's been a long time . . .
Booklikes was kind enough to tell me that my connection to Facebook has expired. But it won't reconnect. So I have that going for me.
Particularly frustrating since I'm pretty sure that my IRL friends only read my blog if it is cross-posted to FB.
I usually don't much care if I'm one of the first to read a new release.
In fact, it's quite rare when that happens. I often go years before I "get around to" reading a book (although the release of a film adaptation can move a title forward quickly).
But a rather unusual thing happened to me in the past month: I actually read a new title BEFORE its release date. Mai Der Vang, the newest Walt Whitman Award winner, appeared in our city in March, and her publisher, Graywolf Press, sent copies of her book, "Afterland," in advance of the official release date. My colleague, Paul, loaned me his copy when he was finished with it, and I dove in with gusto.
Vang is a Hmong-American writer, and this collection speaks to the experiences of the diaspora that has occurred in the decades since the Vietnam war. The imagery is rich, the use of language creative and powerful.
But my best compliment is that the book is truly a collection, an organized, thoughtful representation of an overarching theme, rather than a compilation of individual poems. This is not surprising, because Graywolf-released poetry books generally have this kind of care in editing.
So there - early adopter. Stay tuned - another opportunity may soon be coming my way.
You all have fun today marching for science.
I'm marching for literature.
Check that: I'm having a sit-in for literature.
Oh, OK. I'm staying home to read.
Yay science!
NoViolet Bulawayo recently appeared in my city. (I took this picture on my iPod.)
She read, of course, from "We Need New Names," and I learned something very important about the book: How the main character's name sounds. Of course, if you've read the book, you know her name is Darling. To my Midwestern ears, that's a distinctly two-syllable word, with the accent on the first syllable, a true trochee, in poetic terms. "Dar," like car; "ling," like swing. I suppose if you live in other parts of the country, you might say it differently: "dah-ling," "darlin'," etc.
For Ms. Bulawayo, who still carries a strong accent of her native Zimbabwe, Darling's name is almost a spondee. She gives a little bit less stress to the first syllable, so technically, it's an iamb, but both syllables get quite a bit of stress. And to my ears, it sounded very close to the name "Darlene." I heard "Dar-LING." So now I know.
Her reading was beautiful. The book was fascinating. And she answered my question in the q&a! Can't wait for more from her.
Generally, I post a "Notes on Adaptation" column after seeing the adaptation, but this one's going to be a little bit different.
After seeing the trailer for the film "Paterson" three or four times (in various theaters), I wanted to see this film about a poet. Being a faithful reader and sometimes writer of poetry made the urge even stronger.
So I read William Carlos Williams' collected "Paterson" (more about that in another post), and I sought out something by Ron Padgett, the poet who contributed work to the film "Paterson."
I have access to three libraries, two community, and one university. Among those three, only one had any Padgett books (the university), and the only one of Mr. Padgett's books they had was "Tulsa Kid."
"Tulsa Kid" was published in 1979, and I wish any of my local libraries would have had a more recent volume, because this one was an immature work. I guess that's all there is to say about it.
Except to note that it is doubtful the film "Paterson" will ever be shown in my city.
When you ask me, "What are you doing tomorrow?" if I say, I'm going to read, it means I plan to read FROM a book, or possibly several books. I might not have a particular goal in mind.
But if I say, "I'm going to read a book," it means I'm going to start a book in the morning and try to carve out enough time to read it straight through to the end. I usually manage it. More often than you'd think.
Just to clarify.
This book opens with a three-paragraph Prologue that is a prose poem musing on the mystical nature of the city. It is soaringly lyrical and a little bit metaphysical.
It doesn't quite prepare you for the epic oddity that is this novel, but it sure is a beautiful beginning.
A friend recently posted on social media some thoughts on water motifs in feminist and proto-feminist fiction. George Eliot's "The Mill on the Floss" certainly deserves a high spot on a short docket of such books.
Poor Maggie Tulliver has been singled out for her looks and headstrong disposition since childhood. And as fate sinks her family, her first priority is to be able to take care of herself. Her second priority is to be a credit to her family and honor her friends with kindness. She is open to love, but not at the expense of her selfhood and values.
Eliot does not submerge Maggie's fate - the final line of the novel is also its epigraph - and her fate is foreshadowed again and again. She ultimately is drowned by two men, her emotionally negligent and abusive brother, Tom, and her cousin's manipulative lover, Stephen.
There are a few place in the novel where Maggie could chart either an easier or more manipulative course for herself, but she remains true to her values. And she lives in a society that does not recognize or honor those values.
Carol Gilligan examines Maggie's plight in her famous work of feminist criticism, "In a Different Voice." Gilligan certainly helps us understand why Maggie can't overcome her circumstances and change the tides of her life.
A proto-feminist classic novel and a modern classic of feminist criticism both deserve a spot on everyone's reading lists.
Daisy Goodwin's novelization of her "Victoria" miniseries ends with the engagement. So last Sunday's episode was the first "off book" installment. It covered the prenuptial negotiations and the wedding itself.
Now, I don't expect adaptations like this to be perfectly historically accurate - although I do appreciate it when filmmakers get the easy things right. I've already complained about Lord Melbourne's hair - the famous historical blond here portrayed with Rufus Sewell's iconic dark curls instead.
But Sunday's episode bent history in a way fewer people will catch - and is certainly disappointing. Like it or not, Goodwin's Victoria is a bit of a snippy brat - or bitch, if you feel she's outgrown the appellation of brat. And when she's discussing her wedding plans with the ladies-in-waiting, she is asked who will walk her down the aisle. Necessary, because the story must explain why "Uncle Leopold," kind of the Belgians, and the close male relative we've seen in all the episodes previous, can't do it. Victoria tells her ladies she supposes her "Uncle Sussex" will have to do it - even though the last time she saw him he was wearing a funny cap and rouge (what?).
Snark, snark, snark. It fits Goodwin's characterization, but is it historical? I'm no expert in the period, but from what I understand, "Uncle Sussex," - Prince Augustus, Duke of Sussex - a younger brother to Victoria's late father, was a nice man and perhaps the actual Victoria's favorite uncle. He basically stayed above the fray as the Hanover brothers raced to make legitimate marriages and produce heirs after the death of poor Princess Charlotte and her baby. Perhaps because he was one of the youngest - but still.
Was the historical Victoria so unkind to a purported favorite? I hope not. Was the remark true to the adaptation. Yes, I guess it was. Was I disappointed to hear it? I certainly was.

'Roots' is a recent work that I've created and has received good critical attention this year from the Lumen Digital Art Prize and the London International Creative Competition. This work is representative of my art in recent time. My works represent various social, emotional, personal perspectives of the complex relationship between the inner self and outer world. I use digital imagery that combines the human advancement and trajectory of the twenty-first century and the deeper more innate human spirits.
Growing up in a family from various ethnicity and cultures has given me a strong sense of the importance of being part of a wider accepting social group. Identity and freedom of expression remains central to my work.
My images are all created digitally, and aims to take advantage of newer technological methods. I feel art needs to evolve and not remain stagnant in either form, medium or content.
Gregoire A Meyer
Award-winning artist Grégoire A. Meyer creates digital illustrations that evoke thought-provoking reactions. His art examines the body in its extraordinary simplicity as a biological, digital and aesthetic organism. He captures the essence of fleeting moments, like a splash of water or a disintegrating face, and freezes them in time in objects that appear almost tangible. His works create a complex relationship between fact and fiction.
Regarding the animated version, I have collaborated with George RedHawk an American artist based in France who specialises in creating a unique self taught style of Motion Art from existing static works by other artists. Using a blend of static and morphing movements to his works, he has gain global attention as a .Gif artist and numerous features in art magazines all over the world.

Kingston — a.k.a. the soon-to-be ex-Mrs. Ralph Fiennes — will play Dr. Elizabeth Corday, a skilled surgeon who runs into trouble sharing the operating room with Eriq La Salle's dour Dr. Benton. "Her character will come in as an outsider, both culturally and in terms of medical training," says ER coexec producer Carol Flint. "So it'll give us a way to look freshly at the practices our doctors take for granted." Were the producers also looking for a way to ratchet up the babe quotient now that Sherry Stringfield is gone? "Not necessarily," says Flint. "Our ER has always been a very good-looking group."

For those unaware of the definition of Conscious Hip-Hop or Rap:
"Conscious Rap Defined:Conscious rap is a sub-genre of hip-hop that focuses on creating awareness and imparting knowledge. Conscious rappers traditionally decry violence, discrimination, and other societal ailments. It's propelled by the conviction that radical social change comes through knowledge of self and personal discovery."
Yet, below is one piece of Conscious Hip-Hop we suggest our readers at Independent Underground News & Talk listen to, and listen to each word shared in this song.
Well, the ironic nature of connection between Garner, Brown and Martin murders are indeed something that has obviously has got lost on the larger discussion. Eric Garner killed by Choke Hold for selling loose cigarettes in front of a store.
Mike Brown (according to killer cop Darren Wilson) shot to death for being a "suspect" in a "strong-arm robbery" over cigarattos at a store. Trayvon Martin shot to death coming from a store after buying Skittles and Ice Tea.
The connections between these horrible murders has been lost in the conversation, until now.

FBI sources have told former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, a new phase of the investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server is about to begin.
"I have friends that are in the FBI and they tell me they're ready to indict," DeLay said Monday on the Steve Malzberg Show. Clinton has been under investigation for using a private server to send and receive top secret government documents. "They're ready to recommend an indictment and they also say that if the attorney general does not indict, they're going public."
As reported on Western Journalism, former U.S. attorney Joe DiGenova said earlier this month an indictment was pending, and despite the public political ramifications of an indictment against the Democratic presidential front-runner, there would also be major internal consequences if no indictment were issued.
Advertisement - story continues below
"I believe that the evidence that the FBI is compiling will be so compelling that, unless (Attorney General Loretta Lynch) agrees to the charges, there will be a massive revolt inside the FBI, which she will not be able to survive as an attorney general. It will be like Watergate. It will be unbelievable," DiGenova said.
DeLay said Clinton will have to face either an indictment or the court of public opinion.
TRENDING: Jesse Jackson Announces Health Diagnosis: 'I Will Need Your Prayers'
"One way or another, either she's going to be indicted and that process begins, or we try her in the public eye with her campaign," DeLay said. "One way or another, she's going to have to face these charges."
Former Attorney General Michael Mukasey wrote a guest column for the Wall Street Journal Sunday discussing the possibility of a Clinton indictment.
Advertisement - story continues below
"Whatever the findings from that part of the probe, intelligence-community investigators believe it is nearly certain that Mrs. Clinton's server was hacked, possibly by the Chinese or the Russians…from her direction that classification rules be disregarded, to the presence on her personal email server of information at the highest level of classification, to her repeated falsehoods of a sort that juries are told every day may be treated as evidence of guilty knowledge — it is nearly impossible to draw any conclusion other than that she knew enough to support a conviction at the least for mishandling classified information," Mukasey wrote.
"The simple proposition that everyone is equal before the law suggests that Mrs. Clinton's state of mind — whether mere knowledge of what she was doing as to mishandling classified information; or gross negligence in the case of the mishandling of information relating to national defense; or bad intent as to actual or attempted destruction of email messages; or corrupt intent as to State Department business — justifies a criminal charge of one sort or another," he added.

The latest from Philips, the PFL6008-series 3D TVs, are available in Singapore at 42, 47, 55, and 60-inch models, and come with some nice new features.
For starters, they're backlit, so the colors from the edges of the screen project onto the wall behind the TV. Okay, we've seen that before. But how about the Dual-core processor, the QWERTY keyboard, Skype functionality, and other smart TV options like an app store?
We've seen all of that too haven't we? Okay, okay there is one feature of this TV that sounds like it kind of rocks though. Although the PFL6008-series 3D TVs come equipped with four standard sets of passive 3D glasses, it also offers optional "gaming glasses" that allow for players in split screen mode to both see the entire screen.

Lindsay Lohan Hasn't Lost Her Taste For Shopping
Lindsay Lohan Hasn't Lost Her Taste For Shopping
Lindsay Lohan hit the stores of Beverly Hills with Samantha Ronson yet again yesterday, emerging from Yves Saint Laurent with a very large shopping bag. LL's been on her best behavior recently so a little retail reward seems reasonable. Maybe she's getting a new outfit to meet Michael Phelps considering she's let the world know her feelings about him. While the panty-less LL days seem to be behind us, is it too much to ask for a bra so we don't need to see the unnecessary side boobage?

Purpose of Cognition
in Productivity
What is the purpose of cognition?
It's properly subordinate to perception, and perception is structured well before even your basic individual gene sequencing happens. It's structured at a quantum level. At the range of the "PSI" factor, and I mean PSI factor in the original quantum mechanical sense. The tendency of any set of bodies to function as a whole, from the atom to Gaia consciousness.
We exist for a cognitive purpose. We are capable of creativity/artifice in the light of our perceptual connections, but our cognitive processes are not "our property" and the information generated by our cognitive function is being received by the whole. Your thoughts aren't "your territory". This is why telepathy seems so strange to people. The idea of closed system consciousness is actually strange, and telepathy is quite natural.
You don't believe it is possible for an individual to keep their thoughts to themselves? I do not. All they can do is abstract their linkage to a point. Encode it, so that it has a dissonant impact on the environment. They call this code "ego."
Even on a more mundane level, body language is always a give away although for some they can hide it, so an expert is required to read their body language. But as they say "everyone has a tell." No one can be perfectly deceptive in the somatic feedback they are constantly and subconsciously broadcasting. You telegraph your intentions 24/7. Animals see this without any prejudicial overlay, and thus seem at times to be able to read the human mind. I am not trying to be a mystagogue here, I promise.
This is why people are confusing? They say words that counter what they are broadcasting otherwise? And as I said earlier, the measure of how productive you are is how satisfied you are or frustrated you are with your level of activity.
Life as a gestalt process sends prompts, either from ones internal processes or from external stimuli. We have an instinct to respond to these prompts, but humans have grossly misused their cognitive faculties. We haven't evolved. Nature gave us powerful brains and we used them to poison our growth patterns. Human thought is a psychic blight so far.
An emperor scorpion can be aroused so much that it will sting itself to death. It's an amazing power like human thought, but… What is the purpose to thought? Does anyone know? There is a purpose to it, just as there is a purpose to the scorpions sting.
A tool for figuring things out? I start to think about the advances made, but then I think of how it's pushed people too far. Figuring what out? And what would constitute an advance? Who has been productive ever?
Productivity is a construct, man-made. In business, a way of measuring profitable outputs. Productivity is a process, nature made. It allows the preservation of life. We just call it re-productivity in its strictly biological sense.
A natural process? Then everything is productive? It's productive to the degree that it permits the well-being of the life form. How much of our thought promotes that?
Not much because we go too far with it. Those circles again. Yes, like asking the centipede from the old Zen story how it walks. Thought has a natural process and then we go and "educate" it. How productive has this education been?
Your thoughts are welcome. Be well friends.

Facts About Copenhagen, Denmark
Copenhagen--or Kobenhavn, as it is known locally--is the capital of Denmark. It is also the country's largest city. In fact, it's the largest city in all of Scandinavia. Copenhagen has been deemed one of the world's top cities for its high quality of living, and it is known for its environmentally friendly policies.
Copenhagen began as a small Viking fishing village. The village grew and became an important center of commerce under Bishop Absalon, under the direction of King Valdemar I during the years 1160 to 1167. It wasn't until 1443 that Copenhagen, replacing Roskilde, became the capital of Denmark.
Copenhagen extends across two islands--Zealand and Amager--in Eastern Denmark. The Oresund Strait separates the city from the southern tip of Sweden. A train connects the Swedish city of Malmo to Copenhagen.
Including the Greater Copenhagen region, the city's population numbers around 1.8 million.
Copenhagen is home to many parks including the gardens of Rosenborg Castle. A number of the city's parks also double as grave yards. There are a number of world class museums in the city. The National Gallery, for instance, houses works by Picasso, Braque, Rubens, and Nolde, among others.
Famous Ties
There's a statue of the Little Mermaid, from the tale by Danish storyteller Hans Christian Andersen, sitting in the city's harbor.

Scott, Linda and Peñaloza, Lisa (2006) Matriarchal Marketing: A Manifesto. Journal of Strategic Marketing, 14 (1). pp. 57-67.
The article articulates a new view of markets by reflecting a matriarchal philosophy and by drawing from the work of new age philosophers and feminist economists. The paper also employs a holistic and activist approach to research. The neo-pagan movement has shifted toward agitating for large-scale social change in recent years. It was stated that extracting the difference between the emergent earth-based philosophy and the world's leading religions is an important first step. The neo-pagan movement is not anti-science, but it takes its inspiration from those forms of science that are grounded in observation and respect for connectivity, and departs from mechanistic, artificially separated units of analysis and conceptualizations of social life.

12-8-2011 10 Free Ways to Make Online Posters and Presentations
2 comments:
Hi Janel,ReplyDelete
I just wanted to let you know that Glogster EDU DOES offer a free account for teachers and students.Though our pricing plans have changed, the Glog creation tool is still free and always will be. We want the unique Glog interface to be available to everyone. There are many options out there, but we believe that there's nothing else quite so easy to use, intuitive, and student-friendly as Glogster EDU.
With a Single Free account, teachers or students can create Glogs and share the link with others. Please refer to our blog post, EDU Glogging for Free: 5 ways to make the most of your Single Free account: http://blog.edu.glogster.com/2011/10/27/edu-glogging-for-free-5-ways-to-make-the-most-of-your-single-free-account/
Please let me know if you have any questions. Your feedback is always welcome.
Have a great day!
-Jennifer, Glogster EDU
I agree it is a great program, but not that "With a Single Free account, teachers or students can create Glogs and share the link with others." I'm in a middle schools where teachers teach students 13 and under. Teachers also have 3-6 classes of 25-30 students each, therefore they would need multiple free accounts. I am well versed with your site and the teachers here would love to be able to use it, but our district is not purchasing licences. Usernames and passwords are also very difficult with the free version. Our students use netbooks all day, they need to have consistant usernames and passwords for all of the applications they use on a day-to-day basis. So I cannot agree with you.ReplyDelete

Zed Build Guide by Ektura
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Zed Build
1st Back (Rush)
Early Game items
Starting Items
Core Items (Power Spike)
Choose 1. (Check Notes)
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Threats to Zed with this build
|Not a hard matchup at all. Bait her to use her W, and then when she ults to you and attempts to combo, do the "line" talked about earlier.
This is my first Guide, it's about learning about Zeds mechanics and for people who want to master him. You'll learn builds, combos, how to use your shadows to their full extent, and most importantly, outplaying your opponents.
If you chose black cleaver, and need a Youmuu's, for the speed and auto attack buffs, take it. (more of a mid game item, melees based on autos will fall off late)
Sword of the Occult
Only buy this if you can GUARANTEE that you will not die. Only buy this if the game is going to last up to 50 minutes, or it will be useless.
The Black Cleaver
If you chose youmuu's as your item previously, you can buy the BC as a situational aswell. It is incredible at taking down tanks and will help if your team is struggling to take down heavy tanks such as Maokai.
Mercurial Scimitar
Only guy this if you are against a heavy AP team, or a fed teemo. The active is incredibly useful in some situations and I highly recommend it.
Last Whisper
An amazing item. If you don't know what to buy, buy this. 35% armour pen, plus the armour pen from our runes will melt anyone who comes in range of your ult.
Pros / Cons
Zed is a difficult champion to learn, and even harder to master. You can carry with him, however, if your enemy is smart, they can easily counter you in champ select or with a QSS.
He has a very high damage output
He has high mobility
He excels at taking out squishys in the middle of fights
He has incredible outplay potential
Hard to Gank
Great Roaming/Ganks
Easily Countered
Hard to Learn
Hard to outplay and takes time to learn shadow placement/management
CC will kill him, he is squishy himself
Hard to get used to his kill potential
Zed excels at Farming, his passive does a percentage of your targets max health if they are below 50% health. This means you can clear faster and get more farm. Remember, if 2 or 3 minions are going to die at the same time, use your E. It does a lot of AOE damage. When you have your Tiamat you can clear entire waves with one AA to the melee minions, an E, and your Tiamats active. This also lets you split push
Farming Goals:
10 minutes = 90 CS
25 minutes = 225 CS
40 minutes = 275 CS
(By 25 minutes you should start roaming or team fighting and your CS will go down. If you are split pushing often from 25m-40m, try for 325 CS.)
Your Combos
Zed has some pretty amazing outplay potential, and you will need to know what to do when you are caught in a situation you shouldn't be in.
The 3 Basic Combos are:
-The Line:You're gonna want to use this when your enemy laner is highly mobile, is over extended, has flash up, OR it is great for escaping in the jungle and getting a kill. For the Line, you are going to ult to your target, throw a shadow behind them, go to your W, and E. This will make the shadow you leave behind slow them. Now they will run towards you, or away. If they run away, simply go to your ult shadow which is now where they are headed. If they run towards you, Q, E and auto. You'll pick up an easy kill.
If you are using this to escape, ult to the target, W behind them, E, Q at them from your shadows, and run away. You should get the kill, if not a slow. If they cc you, simply go back to your ult shadow right before it runs out.
The Dodge:Use this combo if your team is about to 5v5, ESPECIALLY if you are behind. With this combo it is easy to get kills in 1v3s or make a teamfight a lot easy for your team. Wait until their carry is a bit out of position, and if they aren't flash in (it's worth it). Then when they are in range of you, ult to them, Their team will see the mark and throw everything they have at you when you appear. So when you do, quickly throw a shadow diagonally away from their team. Then combo the squishy FAST making sure to land all your Skillshots and then quickly go back to ult shadow. When your e is up again, use it and your ult shadow will damage them a bit more. Remember: This is a lot of stuff to do, but you have to WWQER in under 1.5 seconds or else you will get stunned or die. BUT with practice, you will perfect it, and be able to successfully do this every time.
-Low Health Kills:When you are low and an enemy is chasing or about to kill you, throw a W at them, and keep running for a second, then ult. Right when you appear go to your w shadow and combo them, then go to your ult, (they will run towards you, away from the ult shadow which you can escape to. When you go to your ult E. This may not always get you a kill if its a tank, but if its an AD Carry you will secure a kill. And kill or not, you should always escape if you do it right.
-Backwards Line:This combo excels at tower diving. Make sure your enemy has no CC up, and then throw your shadow behind you, out of turret range, and ult at them. Land your skilldhots and E and go back to your ult, then W. (Your W will be out of range so you will need to go back to your ult first.
Eventually you will be making your own combos depending on the situation. You always want to be moving between shadows to confuse them if its a 2v1 or 3v1. You will want to also flash into a bush if the enemy is based on single target spells like GP or Teemo. Then you can full combo and kill the enemy
Unique Skills and how to use Shadows Effectively
Zed is a very unique champion, with a high skill level if you want to carry with him. His outplay potential is amazing, however will take awhile to learn, this champion can send 3 abilities at once, something no other champion can do. Your ultimate is incredible at taking down squishys. Once you get used to his shadows and how to use them correctly, you can carry nearly every game with him. Aslong as you hit your skillshots you can destroy your enemies and hop from shadow to shadow every time they throw a skillshot, so that they take all the damage, and you take none.
To use your shadows to their full potential, you need to use them to not only dodge skillshots, but also single target. You also need them for your damage output. If you are against a champion, take Ahri or annie for example. When Annie uses her Q, ult. You cannot take damage or CC while ulting. This will take timing, but you will be able to dodge major CC and damage. If Ahri uses her charm, ult. After you ult you can throw down a W to dodge more abilities. Then you can throw your Q, use your E and you picked up a kill. Keep practicing dodges and hitting skillshots, and you'll master Zed, and carry every game you play.
Securing Kills
When you use your Ultimate, make sure to land both Shurikens! Your shurikens are you main source of damage and if you don't land them they will not die, and your ult will be down, making you vulnerable. Make sure that if an enemy Carry is escaping a fight that you Shadow towards them, and Ult them, do your damage and get out. your shadow can help you go over walls to secure kills as well. DONT worry about Kill Stealing if no one can get the kill. If the tank or support is about to get a kill throw a Shuriken. You need kills, you need to get fed. That way your team can win.
Zed is an assassin who can take down squishys fast and effectively. Zed excels at mid game split pushing due to his high damage output. You always want a Tiamat so you can clear these lanes fast, and later build it into a Rav. Zed is good at taking out enemies when they least expect it, so running into the brush and then ulting will usually catch them off guard. Make sure to always catch people that are out of position and that you focus the squishy first.
Team Fights and Team Work
Zed fits into nearly every team composition, so I wouldn't worry about that. He excels when playing with a Morgana as she is a heavy disengage just incase something goes wrong, or if your low and running from a high mobility champ, she can stun them so you escape. In Teamfights, never leave the safety of your tanks. YOU are the high priority target on your team. When you go down, you team has lost a huge chunk of damage output. Always play safe, with practice, you'll learn how much damage you can do, and know when its safe to go in and take out the AD Carry.
Remember: In Team Fights, always use "The Dodge" used in the Combos section of this guide. You will almost always win the fight, and lead your team to Victory.
Ranked Play
Only pick zed if the enemy has already chosen a mid laner that does not counter you. Zed is a very easy champion to counter with LeBlanc, Malzahar, Azir and a lot of other ranged AP laners. I recommend this because once you get countered in your laning phase it is hard to pick yourself up. The only way Zed can carry is if he wins lane and gets high damage items FAST.

Callous thieves attempt to STEAL Tower of London poppies
HEARTLESS thieves have been trying to steal the ceramic poppies from the Tower of London, according to the artist behind the iconic installation.
Up to a thousand volunteers are removing the poppies
Paul Cummins, the creator of the hugely successful Blood-Swept Lands and Seas of Red, has complained that callous crooks have even broken into lorries used to transport the 888,246 poppies away from the London landmark.
Visited by more than five million people, the major installation marked one hundred years since the first full day of Britain's involvement in the First World War.
Working together with Royal Shakespeare Company stage designer Tom Piper, Mr Cummins arranged for the Tower's famous moat to be progressively filled with the red flowers between 17 July and 11 November 2014.
Each poppy represented a British and Commonwealth military fatality during the war.
The poppies encircled the iconic London landmark, creating not only a spectacular display visible from all around the Tower but also a location for personal reflection.
The scale of the installation was intended to reflect the magnitude of such an important centenary and create a powerful visual commemoration.
The last poppy is scheduled to be removed on November 28 and they will then be shipped to the people that bought them from all over the world.
But much to the horror of Mr Cummins - and indeed the wider British public - criminals have been trying to get hold of the flowers, which sold for £25 each.
The sales have raised millions of pounds, which will be equally shared between six service charities including Help for Heroes and the Royal British Legion.
A volunteer helper walks past boxes of poppies waiting to be dispatched to their new owners
Each poppy is dismantled by a volunteer before being sent to a distribution centre where they are being cleaned and packaged.
The Derbyshire-based artist said: "When they were taken out of the moat, people were breaking into the lorries to try and get them.
"They have been trying to do this ever since we put them in.
"So many people want them but we are not making any more, because I thought it would be disrespectful to the people who died.
The flowers are sent to a dispatch centre where they are cleaned and packed
Up to a thousand volunteers have been removing around 75,000 poppies per day from the moat since the day after Armistice Day.
Angry Mr Cummins added: "There are hundreds of thousands of people who want them."
"I am not happy. It is disrespectful to the people who bought them and made them and to the people they represent."

E-commerce is a tremendously fast growing sector of the retail industry, making it impossible for traditional retail stores to ignore the inevitable: the need for an online presence. No matter the size of your retail business, integrating into the world of e-commerce places your business at the fingertips of millions of new customers, allows you to make sales every minute of the day and gives you visibility even the best retail locations in the world can't offer.
That's why it's time to take your physical retail store online so let's get you prepared!
Prepare product descriptions and photographs
The first step to take your physical store online is bringing your products to life with powerful product descriptions and attractive product photos. Depending on your inventory size, this could take some time but find comfort in knowing that getting it right the first time will save you the painful regret of having to do it all over again. Start by understanding that your product descriptions and photos are a marketing tool to increase your sales and traffic. Check out these two super helpful blog posts to guide you during the process:
- How to Write Product Descriptions that Increase Sales and Boost SEO
- Improve Product Photos for your Online Store: The 5 Mistakes You Don't Want to Commit
Synchronize your physical and online stock
When you create your online store, it's very important to make sure that everything is synchronized between your online and offline shop. To ensure this harmony, PrestaShop allows you to sync your inventory and see the full picture of your physical and online business.
The management of your customer data should also be taken into account: establish a connection between your store and website sales. I recommend using a CRM and ERP application to unify your customer data into one space.
Order Management
Shortage of inventory is a situation no merchant wants to run into. By offering both an online and physical store, you'll improve the shopping experience for your customers - if an item is unavailable in-store then the customer can order online and vice versa!
Give your customers the option for in-store pick up. This is very popular for local customers since it saves them the costs of shipping and will help you reduce your abandoned carts! Also, don't forget to pay special attention to the packaging of your orders. Customers notice the small details so invest in attractive packaging that represents your brand the best way possible. Also, research the best shipping carrier to work with based on their pricing and where you'll be shipping to geographically. Want to be organized? Take a look at this blog post to help you professionally manage logistics for your online shop.
Start Driving Traffic with an Effective Marketing Strategy
One of the big differences between your physical and online store is the lack of foot/drive-by traffic which doesn't really exist online. This is why it's important to implement effective marketing strategies to attract customers to your e-commerce site. Here are some ideas!
- Promote it within your physical store to drive customers you have already built a relationship with to shop more often without having to leave their home
- Encourage customers to shop online by offering them exclusive items and/or sales for online shoppers only
- Communicate with your current e-mail subscribers – read more about this on my blog post on how to use newsletters to increase traffic to your online store
- And last but not least – check out this must-read blog post on the 5 ultimate ways to drive new traffic to your online store

I believe that,for us the only thing that you can experience and really exists is the past,our future is the present that is impossible to measure.
Terribly sorry but I beg to differ, The past is just that, memories.
-Just because you (think) you remember something there's nothing to say that it couldn't have been implanted by, let's call it "Higher beings/powers".
-The only thing you can experience is the "now" which doesn't really exist for us either as we, as stated, perceive time as constantly moving forward (just to make this thing about time a little bit more F'd up)
Time is the shit that I seem to never have enough of.
Time is what many people waist, always thinking they will do it tomorrow. Should have done it when they thought about doing it.
Time is when people wonder "where did the time go" It moved forward as it always does and you did nothing about using it. Time decided not to wait till you decided to use it correctly or exactly how you wanted to use it.
We do projects and something went wrong and we have to start over again. One may say "what a waist of time" No it wasn't because something was learned so we wouldn't do it wrong again next time. No time is wasted when learning things.
We do things we like, enjoy, or even projects or work. Things get done and we wonder where that time went. Time went forward as it should but we made good use of it.
Use time wisely because as soon as I hit "Post Reply" I may not be here anymore to know what time is doing for me.
post reply
its stuck.
Let's say you are in an infinite perfect vacuum and your space ship is theonly thing in the vacuum.Now you turn on your engines and accelerate,what are you moving through?I thought about this a lot and I thinkthe only thing you are moving through is time.
Your on a space ship now,it's called earth & is a giant bio dome hurtling out of control through space.It's only a mater of time before we smash into something,when that day comes assume the position & kiss your sweet ass goodbye
The space/time continuum or just space/time. And, believe it or not, there's no such thing as empty space or a perfect vacuum, zero point energy has been observed. Plus you can move through a medium (water...air...space) but not through a man made concept.
I often wonder if we could tack through time like a sail boat tacks into the wind,and keep our clocks synchronized?
It would be like 'surfing' through the time zones. In this case it would be time lines rather than zones. Instances of time in an infinite variety. Choose your path very carefully. Getting lost in time would not be fun.

 Two schools face one another in the battle for dominion: Hokuto Shinken and Nanto Seiken. The series begins when the Hokuto successor, Kenshiro, travels the desert to confront Shin, a member of the Nanto Roku Seiken, their six ruling stars, who has taken his fiancee Yulia.

Boombox Trailer (2002)
01 July 2002 Action, Factual 30 mins
One thing we love in wakeboarding videos, is a video that has a unique style and original feel to it. That is "Boombox". Justin Stephens and Cadmium Productions spent some time with the Pointless Posse along with Scott Byerly and Gregg Necrason to put together a video that just flat out works! The music in Boombox was all done by one artist called MYG from Portland, Oregon, and the music is full of great beats that go well with wakeboarding, and would sound great coming out of any boombox. Each rider has a strong section featuring some of the latest and greatest tricks in wakeboarding, and much of the film was shot from unique helicopter angles.
Watch the official Boombox 2002 trailer in HD below or find more Boombox videos on Vidimovie.

This is the first in the series of cases involving Inspector Morimoto and his assistant, Officer Suzuki, a young mathematics graduate from Tokyo University. With over twenty-five years experience, Morimoto is not easily surprised, but the dead man's coin locker is just the first of several surprises that Morimoto encounters in this case. Furthermore, Morimoto is puzzled because he cannot find the dead man's umbrella, and he also wants to know why Special Branch from Tokyo is investigating the dead man's company. Moreover, why does the waitress at the Bamboo Haven restaurant provide a different explanation each time they meet, and is there any connection with the baseball game that took place in the Osaka Dome at the time of the murder?
Everything points to an assassination by the criminal syndicates, but Morimoto and Suzuki are not convinced. Using her powers of deductive reasoning, Suzuki helps Morimoto develop a hypothesis that involves espionage, secretive trips on the bullet train, deception, and double deception. Morimoto knows that a provincial inspector such as himself does not impress the Special Branch investigator--especially not when all Morimoto appears to be doing is collecting umbrellas--but perhaps Morimoto will have the last laugh?

Madonna has another wardrobe malfunction on stage
Madonna must have had flashbacks to the Brit Awards 2015 as she had another wardrobe malfunction on stage.
The Material Girl may consider ditching capes, cloaks and props in general after she struggled to escape during a live show. Thankfully, the Queen of Pop was able to retain her footing despite her backing dancers tugging at the tangled veil, which was stuck on her head.
She was seen on fan footage from the concert in Taipei, Taiwan as she was pulled backwards and struggled to keep her balance. Fans will no doubt be reminded of a similar mishap when her cape got caught at the BRITs last year, leading her to take a painful tumble down the steps on stage.

Did you see the Emoji Movie this summer?
The movie about animated emojis was released two months ago at theaters. But unfortunately, it turned out to be a huge flop and did not receive good remarks from many critics. However, have you ever wondered where the emoji even came from?
Emoji is a combination of the Japanese words "e"(meaning "picture") and "moji" (meaning character"). By definition, an emoji is a digital image used to express ideas, objects, and emotions in particular. These days, emojis have become a global phenomenon and are sent through text messages to convey some sort of message to others.
History Of Emojis
The use of emojis first started in Japan, and the title "the father of the emoji" is accredited to Shigetaka Kurita.
Before emojis, electronic communication was only through words and text messages. Kurita thought of using pictures to convey things that are hard to explain with words and thus the idea for an emoji was born.
Kurita first went to several technology companies to offer his idea. When he realized that none of them wanted to design emojis themselves, Kurita and his team handmade the first pixelated emojis on their own. They then created a code for a special emoji keyboard. Once they had created the first set of 176 basic emojis, major technology companies in Japan loved the idea and added them to their electronic devices. From there, the popularity of the emoji immediately rose in Japan, as animation was also added to several emojis.
A few years later, Apple added the emoji keyboard to their iPhones in order to compete in the Japanese market. Google Android followed soon after. Thus, the emoji became a global phenomenon and was available across all platforms.
Approving A New Emoji
Today there are over 1600 emoji characters that represent any emotion you are feeling right now, to what food you want to eat! However, getting a new emoji approved is not as simple as it seems.
A special committee called the "Unicode Consortium" is responsible for evaluating and approving new emojis, and some could take up to two years. Anyone can propose an emoji, but they have to provide a strong case for it, as well as provide a black-and-white and a color image.
The committee then evaluates the proposal, compares it to other existing emojis, seeks comments, and then votes on it -- which can take up to 6 months. Once approved, it can take another year or more to add features like color changes (as you may have seen on the face palm emoji on your smartphone). Then it is up to Google and Apple to decide whether to include the new emoji into their set.
As you can see in the video below, pictures are worth a thousand words! So next time you send a text, don't forget to add an emoji or two!
