Some pleasantly unexpected news landed on our laps today in the form of a possible Nexus device. While Nexus is nothing new, it's been speculated for months now that the Nexus line was to be replaced by a new program from Google called "Android Silver". However, the cancelation of the Nexus program was all but confirmed by Google, so while this bit of news may be a bit surprising it's not completely unwarranted or (necessarily) false.
According to a report from Android Police, we may be looking at a new collaborative device between Motorola and Google, codenamed "Shamu". There aren't a ton of clues that lead us to believe that this mysterious device has anything to do with Nexus, but it does mention that "Shamu" runs on a Google kernel and, as mentioned in our news article, Google has a tendency to name their Nexus devices after aquatic wildlife.
So we're going to take the chance that this rumor might blossom into truth and run with it for a little while, just to see what opinions we can come up with.
Aside from Shamu supposedly being a Motorola-made device, we are also led to believe that the phone will feature a massive 5.9-inch display and a fingerprint sensor. If Shamu is indeed a Nexus device, I think it's a great idea to let Motorola have a shot at it given their recent successes with the Moto X and, more specifically (and unexpectedly) the Moto G. Motorola has been making quite a name for itself lately, and a chance to make one of the budget-friendly and popular Nexus devices would give it even more of the boost it needs to succeed.
Of course, it wouldn't be an op-ed by yours truly if I didn't mention my concerns on the fact that the phone is said to be sized somewhere between a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and a Galaxy Mega 6.3. A 5.9-inch screen, which "Shamu" is rumored to have, is just over an inch under the smallest tablet screen size. This fuels my concern that phones are just getting to be too big. Then again, I think my feelings on this might just be because I have tiny handlets that don't let me wield anything above the 4.7-inch screen range comfortably. Even then, the Note 3 is rather large with a 5.7-inch display, and aside from its powerful specs I feel that the included stylus is a big saving grace for having a phone that size. I think in order for this Shamu device to really succeed, it's going to need some really tiny bezels so the phone itself isn't that big. After all, the Galaxy Mega 6.3 didn't fare too well - but that might also be because size was the only thing it had going for it. I do have higher expectations of a next-gen Nexus device when it comes to specs and features.
Maybe it won't be that bad. I tend to get cold feet when I see large screen size measurements - flashbacks of constant phone dropping, either on my face or the floor. Either way, I am excited at the thought that Motorola might get a shot at this. I think the quality of Motorola's products has been great under Google's wing, and although Moto is now under Lenovo's watch, a Nexus device means that Google would once again be involved somehow. It's also exciting because it means all is not lost when it comes to the Nexus program. I've been under the impression that Nexus is done and over with, but if it's not I could care less whether the size of the device is too big, too small, or whatever. The whole principle behind the Nexus program, in my opinion, makes it worth keeping around.
Readers, what are your initial impressions on this mysterious "Shamu" device? Do you hope that the Nexus program is sticking around? Are the few rumors shown enough to spark your interest in it? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

'Some of the lads just can't handle drinking p*** and s***' Sick squaddie carnage exposed
SOLDIERS have posted footage of a naked "mental rampage" where recruits are goaded into fighting and drinking faeces and urine.
The disgusting 120-second video, seen by the Daily Star Sunday, shows boozy antics at a party dubbed "Broadmoor Night" at a British Army training base.
One soldier boasted that the lads go "mental" at the monthly blow-outs, named after Broadmoor Hospital, the country's most notorious psychiatric unit.
In a series of graphic clips on Snapchat, fully dressed soldiers cheer as a group of naked lads carry out humiliating tasks.
The video shows the stripped squaddies necking cups of faeces and urine; bare-knuckle fighting; and crawling naked on the floor.
The grim images appear to show men being forced to take part in the revolting 'games' – raising fears they could have been bullied into it.
One source involved in the sick party told the Daily Star Sunday it was all just "banter".
But last night a former army commander said the outrageous antics had "crossed the line".
Colonel Richard Kemp said: "The Army will not turn a blind eye to this kind of behaviour and they will punish the people responsible."
In the video, filmed last week, the soldiers are shown urinating and defecating in plastic cups.
Others are then nominated to drink out of them. One downs the human waste before being sick into a bin.
Some of the nominated soldiers try to refuse the vile cocktails. But they drink them after being jeered by a baying crowd.
The footage also shows soldiers battering one another in bareknuckle boxing fights as their cheering pals watch.
The outrageous footage was filmed at Catterick Garrison, in North Yorkshire, the Army's biggest training base.
"Everyone gets absolutely sh*t-faced and go f***ing mental for the night, it weeds out the men from the boys"
Our source said: "Once a month we hang up our wooden Broadmoor plaque and this gives everyone the green light to get absolutely sh*t-faced and go f***ing mental for the night.
"We try and have the Broadmoor nights once a month. We f***ing love it. I think it's a good way to get a lot of the testosterone out and it's only a bit of banter."
They added: "Some of the boys can't handle drinking piss and s**t, but others can. It weeds out the men from the boys.
"Sometimes things can get out of control, but that's expected when a load of pissed-up squaddies get together to go on a mental rampage."
But retired Col Kemp, 57, said there would be serious consequences if the antics were discovered to be a form of bullying.
He added: "When you get a lot of men together who are pretty aggressive and military trained, rowdy behaviour often takes place in a way which other people would not find acceptable.
"However, it seems on this occasion, the line has been crossed with intolerable behaviour and I know that the Army would take action if they knew this was going on.
"Daring or bullying others to join in with this type of behaviour is certainly overstepping the line."
Last night the Ministry of Defence said it was investigating. A spokesman said: "This behaviour is unacceptable and if these allegations are true then appropriate action will be taken."

Measuring inflation is a difficult problem for government statisticians. To do this, a number of goods that are representative of the economy are put together into what is referred to as a "market basket." The cost of this basket is then compared over time. This results in a price index, which is the cost of the market basket today as a percentage of the cost of that identical basket in the starting year.
In North America, there are two main price indexes that measure inflation:
- Consumer Price Index (CPI) - A measure of price changes in consumer goods and services such as gasoline, food, clothing and automobiles. The CPI measures price change from the perspective of the purchaser. U.S. CPI data can be found at the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
- Producer Price Indexes (PPI) - A family of indexes that measure the average change over time in selling prices by domestic producers of goods and services. PPIs measure price change from the perspective of the seller. U.S. PPI data can be found at the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
You can think of price indexes as large surveys. Each month, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics contacts thousands of retail stores, service establishments, rental units and doctors' offices to obtain price information on thousands of items used to track and measure price changes in the CPI. They record the prices of about 80,000 items each month, which represent a scientifically selected sample of the prices paid by consumers for the goods and services purchased.
In the long run, the various PPIs and the CPI show a similar rate of inflation. This is not the case in the short run, as PPIs often increase before the CPI. In general, investors follow the CPI more than the PPIs.

Speaking of the Chooser and printer driver problems, I get a plea for help on this matter at least once a day. So let me state this clearly for the record:
If you install QuickDraw GX when you install Mac OS 7.6 (or any other time you install GX for that matter), the Chooser will not show any non-GX printer drivers. Assuming you don't really want or need GX, the easiest solution is to just remove the GX software (or not install it in the first place). When you do this, your non-GX printer drivers will reappear in the Chooser window. (This was also mentioned in the March 3 Info Alley.)

Important Discus about Vedic Astrology
Vedic astrology is one the forms of astrology which is about 7000 years old. This is a part of science, which was in-scripted in Vedas, has been passed on from generations to generations. Vedic astrology functions with a system that requires a person to give out his time and date of his birth. A horoscope in Indian Astrological culture means an "Hour Scope". A horoscope is an identity of a person's demeanor and future happenings based on the movements of various astronomical bodies such as; starts and planets. The time of a person's birth and the positions of heavenly bodies can easily influence a person's characteristics, path of life and his final destiny. People turn to astrologers and try to find out what will happen in their future.
These predictions are made from a horoscope. The astrological analysis of a person occurs when a chart of horoscope is prepared; this chart will have the information about person's exact time, date and place of birth. Astrology is refuted by the scientists, despite this, Hindus believe in this generation old practice. In a traditional Hindu family, newborns are named upon their jyotisa readings, and astrological tenets are used for making calendars and holidays as well.
Astrology plays a vital part in life's most difficult and important decisions, like in marriage, in new business venture and buying a new home. Astrology remains a very powerful influence in a person's life in India. As we know, there are 12 zodiac signs; Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpion, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. Different planets have influences over different signs.

They are very thorough and will do anything and everything to make your day perfect, from helping with button holes to giving you tips for your big day nothing is to much or to hard for them. Our final product was more then we could of hoped for they are just fantastic!! Thank you so much Bev and Greg!! :)

Hemingway's sparing use of embellishment in regard to his prose makes for a comfortable understanding of his intended literary devices. The symbol I would like to discuss today is incredibly important in aiding the reader in his comprehension of the sociology of the characters.
This site entertains the idea that a number of the bullfights demonstrate an important plot occurrence within the bulls' actions. It is indeed an interesting idea with an example being the death of the steer (killed by a bull) at the start of the festival, representing the occasion when Mike ravenously berates Robert Cohn. Although Cohn mopes about after the incident, the occurrence itself could signify a figurative death of Cohn at least in some of his original mannerisms or schools of thought.
Bullfighting also emerges as a symbol of Eros. Jake is fascinated by bullfighting and is intrigued by the relationship between the bull and matador. This also describes Brett. Cohn on the other hand is repulsed. It almost seems to the reader as if Jake assumes the ethos of the bullring with lust, or at least something nearly equivalent. It is often inferred that Jake's passion for bullfighting stems from an id-driven obsession, being his unconscious and instinctive need for sensuality. This can be easily understood, as bullfighting is a sensual sport. According to Shmoop, bullfighting contains elements of sensuality including "seduction, manipulation, maneuvering, and penetration by the bull-fighter of the bull." With that said it is not surprising that Jake, an impotent man finds bullfighting to be so interesting.
What elements of sensuality are existent in the image borrowed from this site?
Brett is another character that views bullfighting as absorbing and exciting. She soon finds herself infatuated with Romero. Since Romero is a torero, the erotic passion found in bullfighting seems to be flowing through himself also, at least from Brett's perspective. In other words, Romero is extremely fertile. Romero seems to be the exact opposite of what Jake is. But is he? I think that a better description of Romero from Brett's standpoint is what she (Brett) wishes Jake could be. This is the case as it seems that Jake learns so much about bullfighting and becomes quite well-versed in it until the only major difference between him and Romero is his (Jake's) literal impotence.
This post obviously doesn't do anything near to justice in regard to the symbol of bullfighting, but hopefully it helps to open one's mind to some of the outer layers and allows one to further delve into this brilliant novel.

How we develop compelling stories
With every New Orleans video production we do, there is always one consistent element. Great video projects all start with an idea. Every New Orleans marketing and entertainment project must have a purposeful idea behind it. The desire for a project often comes from the client's needs. But the project doesn't actually come into being until we have a tangible idea for a story. Whether or not the idea comes from the client or from our creative team, there are certain ingredients that every compelling story needs. Here are just some of the ingredients that go into our creative development process. This creative process reaches everywhere from our New Orleans marketing to web video production.
The need for an idea
Obviously, we don't have a story without the main idea. So what is it that you, the client, want for your video? If you want a commercial, is there a certain offer or brand statement that you want to communicate? Once we figure that out, the hard part is deciding how to get the audience interested. You cannot simply explain a service. You have to show why the audience should care in the first place. The need for the service needs to be a part of the actual offer. Once those two things are decided, we can start building the general story.
Organic story
The video cannot be like one of those commercials that clearly breaks from the entertainment just to sell a service. It has to organically involve the service within the story. If it doesn't, then the audience will feel like they are being pandered to. Take for instance our First Robotics NYC Gala Feature. The video uses multiple testimonies of various people involved in the First Robotics program. This is done in order to show how the program is changing lives. The message is clear: positive impact. However, it is not a blatant message. It is told through the peoples' stories. This is how our New Orleans video production team uses storytelling to market a service. As a side note, this is also one of the many benefits of our New Orleans marketing company specializing in visual storytelling.
After the story has been scripted, it is time to figure out how we are going to shoot it. The actual shooting of the project is almost just as important as writing it. Because this is where we decide how the audience is going to witness the story. The script is the 'what', and the shooting is the 'how'. So, when we plan the production, we make sure to keep all visual and sound elements within the story's context.
There are many more technical essentials that are needed for an admirable video production. But no matter if we have high definition cameras or 4k video editing software, the project is nothing without the story. For more information on our New Orleans video production services, please feel free to contact Adrenaline Broadcasting today.

Hard to believe that it's been exactly one year since the first teen developer interview was published. In the year since, we've published 23 interviews! Although long-time readers may remember that we technically published 24 but had to retract one. This means there's been an average of a new interview every 16 days!
For those who never really knew what these were, when I joined the Cool Smartphone team I set out to interview teen developers so that word of their projects would get out and they'd have a bit of a stage to show themselves off on! Each interview consisted of me asking the developer about themselves, their projects, and their experiences developing for the mobile and web. We'd also include photos of their workspaces, because who doesn't love looking at photos of desks, right?
Except Tyler, that is. Thanks for the photo of the cave buddy. ;-)
So what's the point of this anniversary post? If you caught our last interview with Peter you'll have noticed I mentioned that I'd publish a collection of tutorials online so that you too can get started in the amazing world of developing! Here's a list of all our interviews to date before we get to the tutorials.

A mother posted a photo on Facebook of a little girl's bruises resulting from a car accident, along with a story that taught a valuable lesson on car seat safety.
Heather Starr came across a story about a mother and her 3-year-old daughter's recent car accident and the light it shed on the issue of proper chest clip placement.
"As you all know, I am super passionate about proper car seat safety. Here's an example of why," Starr wrote in her Facebook post. "This is a 3-year-old girl who was just in a car accident. The bruising on her chest is from her chest clip on her 5 point harness. Notice it was correctly positioned on her chest, at armpit level right between her nipples. Clearly, there was some force to that accident. Had the clip been placed lower, she likely would have had organ damage and internal bleeding. Had it been placed higher, she could have been asphyxiated. (The ER doctor she saw confirmed these facts as well)."
Starr went on to stress the importance of properly fastening children's chest clips, and highlighted the all-too-common mistake of positioning the clip on a child's belly. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a study found that 72 percent of car seat boosters are misused in such a way that would increase injury in the event of a car crash.
"Make sure children are properly buckled up in a car seat, booster seat or seat belt, whichever is appropriate for their age, height and weight," the CDC advises.
"This little girl is walking away from a car accident with some uncomfortable chest bruising," she wrote. "A couple inches difference and she wouldn't have been walking away at all. It's. THAT. Important."

SAO PAULO, May 2 (Reuters) - Brazilian planemaker Embraer SA has seen "great activity" in sales campaigns for its commercial aircraft in the United States and elsewhere, Chief Executive Paulo Cesar Silva told analysts on a Tuesday earnings call.
Silva also said he was "very confident" that Embraer would get its first order from outside Latin America this year for the KC-390 military cargo jet currently in development. (Reporting by Brad Haynes)

The Halloween theme runs through the entire palette from the creepily named eyeshadows to the colour selection which is predominately purples, navy and green shades. Very vampy! The packaging is in true Makeup Revolutions style with its sleek and shiny black casing. It also has a decent sized mirrored lid which is perfect for touching up on the go.
The shimmer shades dominate the palette (12 in total) which Makeup Revolution excels at. The majority of them have minimal fall out and amazing pigmentation. The black shades Beyond The Night and Friday 13th are some of the blackest I have seen from a high street brand. The stand out shimmer shades for me are Who's There- a stunning plum purple, I'm Watching You- a rich royal purple, and Wicked- a striking emerald green. Lethal and Pretty Zombie are a little harder to work with than the others. The matte shades are definitely worth mentioning even though they do vary in pigmentation and are a little on the powdery side. They are essential for crease colours and blending! The most impressive of the 6 are Ash and Darkness.
Overall, Makeup Revolution have created yet another exciting and unique eyeshadow palette. Even though this is a themed Halloween palette, it's still great for anyone who loves to wear a smokey eye or gravitates towards these sorts of shades. Purples are one of my favourite colours after browns so I will be reaching for them when I fancy something a bit different. The shade Wicked looks so pretty as a pop of colour under the lower lash line and really brings brown eyes to life! The pigmentation differs between the shimmer and matte shades but for just £6 for 18 eyeshadows, you can hardly complain. Makeup Revolution have a huge selection of palettes to choose from so even if the colours in this particular one aren't up your street, I would urge you to try any of their other offerings.
It's hard to believe that the brand launched only six months ago as they're constantly bringing out new products. I'm always so excited to see what's coming next!

Photos: Gov. Fayose personally distribute Sallah rams in Ekiti
A communique signed by the state's Assistant Secretary, League of Imams and Alfas, Alhaji Quadri Oguntuase, and two others, had earlier ordered Muslims in the state not to collect rams and other food items for Sallah celebration, if presented to them in any form by the government. However, the General Secretary of the League, Alhaji Abdulrazak Adenipekun, in a counter- statement ordered Muslims in the state to ignore the ban on Sallah's gift. Distributing the rams in Government House, Fayose said he won't allow himself to be dragged into playing politics with religion in the State. "I won't allow anybody to drag me into playing politics with religion. What I am doing today is a demonstration of love and support for the Muslims. I am not that kind of a leader who does things with religious interest. "I will do same to Christians at Christmas exactly what I am doing to Muslims today. Ekiti is one whether you are Muslim or Christian and this is the spirit I want all of us to imbibe. "In my actions and conducts, every Ekiti man knows that I am going to relate with you whether you are a Christian or Muslim. The two are the same. I have no preference for either of the two. I am the governor today and if Muslims get there tomorrow, we will all support him.

Craig Ryan setting sights on the Tokyo Olympics after sealing Irish gold
Lisburn's Craig Ryan made history by winning gold at the first ever Irish International Karate Championships in Tallaght at the weekend.
Nineteen-year-old Ryan, who is a member of Ophir Karate, took first place in the Men's Senior kumite 75kg division, as well as winning silver in the Under-21 75kg section.
The tournament attracted in excess of 500 athletes over 50 different categories and divisions for both men and women, with teams from as far as Portugal, Slovenia and Canada competing.
But it was Northern Ireland's Ryan who came top of the pile, and was unlucky not to bring home two gold medals after his narrow defeat in the Under-21 final.
The Lisburn fighter is now heading to Berlin to compete in the Banzai Cup on Saturday before going to Belgium to appear in the Federation of European Wado-Kai Championship.
Ryan says it is his goal to represent Ireland in karate at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020, where the sport will make its debut at the Games.

The SWCRPC offers a wide range of transportation planning services for the Region based on our annual funding sources that typically include Transportation Planning Initiative, Safe Routes to School, municipal project management and other special studies. Our transportation program is based on VTrans' Transportation Planning Initiative Manual and Guidebook , 19 V.S.A. §101 , and seeks to implement our Regional Transportation Plan. A significant amount of the transportation work done by SWCRPC is carried out through participation in Vermont's Transportation Planning Initiative which is a collaboration between the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans), the eleven Vermont Regional Planning Commissions. The FFY 2017 TPI Work Program details all the work that will be carried out in Southern Windsor County in conjunction with this initiative. Click here for the FFY 2018 Work Program. In November 2014 SWCRPC completed its update to the Regional Transportation Plan.
SWCRPC has a Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC) that advises on regional transportation issues with representatives from each community in southern Windsor County, an ex-officio representative from VTrans and up to two "at-large" members. Part of their work includes an annual prioritization of regional transportation projects (click here for the 2016 priorities) which helps VTrans to prioritize their work across the state. More information about the TAC's meetings, agendas and work can be found on their webpage.
In May 2016 VTrans unveiled its new "511" website – http://newengland511.org/ – which gives up-to-date travel information for state roads in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. Information for interstates, US highways and state highways includes traffic incidents, roadwork, traffic speeds, condition cameras, road conditions, etc.
Projects around Southern Windsor County occurring this year (2017)

Way To Go is a challenge for commuters to find alternatives to driving alone to work. Started in Chittenden County in 1994, the Vermont event has expanded geographically to encompass participants in 250 municipalities throughout the state in 2012. More information about the statewide challenge can be found at http://www.waytogovt.org/.
What is happening this year?
This year's commuter challenge is 2 weeks long – September 26 – October 7, 2016. If you are interested in getting your business involved in this year's event, please contact Katharine.
How can I benefit from finding an alternative way to commute?
There are several advantages to not travelling alone in your car/ truck, including:
- Reducing the amount you have to spend on gas
- Reducing transportation pollution
- Improving your health
What commuting options are there in the area?
Commuting options in the southern Windsor County area include:
- Taking the Bus – Try Southeast Vermont Transit's in town and out-of-town routes with The Current. Also check out their Park and Ride options from the I-91 exit parking lots.
- Carpool/Rideshare – Talk to colleagues and neighbors, or check out Go Vermont's Carpool database and the Upper Valley Rideshare list. Both formal programs include guaranteed ride home options.
- Bike – In addition to cycling along the roads you could also try out the Toonerville Trail that connects Springfield to Charlestown.
- Walking – There are several sidewalk networks in town and village centers that connect homes, schools, businesses and shops.
SWCRPC has three state park and rides which serve the region on I-91 at exits 7 (Springfield), 8 (Ascutney) and 9 (Hartland/ Windsor) and have commuter transit connections. There is also a park and ride lot in Ludlow – at the Fire Department. SWCRPC monitors the usage of these lots monthly – see our 2016 Annual Report Park and Ride Count Report. SWCRPC has also completed needs assessments for park and ride lots in the region (existing and new) – 2010 Park and Ride Needs Assessment and the 2012 Addendum.
Vermont Complete Streets Guidebook
The new Vermont Complete Streets Guidebook was released in November 2012 and is available at http://healthvermont.gov/family/fit/target.aspx#streets. For more information about the Complete Streets Act which took effect on July 1, 2011, check out our Vermont's Complete Streets Law Technical Bulletin.
Safe Routes to School
Safe Routes to School is a national program encouraging children to walk and bicycle to school.
Vermont Safe Routes to School seeks to make it easier for all Vermont children, including those with disabilities, to enjoy the outdoors and become more physically active by providing funding for infrastructure improvements, safety education, and enforcement of safety laws. In Southern Windsor County, Windsor and Weathersfield have participated in the Safe Routes to Schools program. In July 2011 VTrans launched a Safe Routes to School Resource (SRTS) Center to distribute non-infrastructure SRTS support to all interested schools. More information is available at http://saferoutes.vermont.gov/.
Every year the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) and SWCRPC monitor traffic along a variety of roads in the region. The RPC traffic count program is intended to supplement VTrans' traffic data in the Region. It includes counts at 19 locations across the region on a bi-annual basis. The RPC also performs traffic counts at the request of towns on a limited first-come, first-served basis. Data can be collected on volume, vehicle classification and speed. For more information about the traffic counts see the reports below and contact Katharine.

Traffic count data is also collated and collected by the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans). Traffic Count reports are published online in two locations (both state and SWCRPC counts):
- VTrans Traffic Research Publications (http://vtrans.vermont.gov/operations/technical-services/traffic).
- Most count locations have basic traffic count data available in the "Automatic Traffic Recorder Station History" reports
- Some count locations also have information about what type of vehicles (cars, motorcycles, buses and trucks) used the roads ("Automatic Vehicle Classification Reports").
- One of the counters in Ludlow is permanently collecting data (P6Y209 – on Okemo Mountain Road 300ft from VT103). Data for this site is available in the "Red Book" (2014 Continuous Traffic Counter Grouping Study and Regression Analysis Report).
- VTrans Traffic Data Management System (http://vtrans.ms2soft.com)
- Counts from all locations are available.
- The database is searchable and has an online map.
- Includes summary data (eg AADT), as well as data for individual days and hours.
- Includes traffic counts, speed data and turning movement counts

Graphical models for multivariate Markov chains
The aim of this paper is to provide a graphical representation of the dynamic relations among the marginal processes of a first order multivariate Markov chain. We show how to read Granger-noncausal and contemporaneous independence relations off a particular type of mixed graph, when directed and bi-directed edges are missing. Insights are also provided into the Markov properties with respect to a graph that are retained under marginalization of a multivariate chain. Multivariate logistic models for transition probabilities are associated with the mixed graphs encoding the relevant independencies. Finally, an application on real data illustrates the methodology.

Jake Gyllenhaal: Playing a widower in Demolition showed me how Hollywood portrayals of emotions don't always reflect real life.
Brooding. Intense. Serious. Scroll through Jake Gyllenhaal's back catalogue, starting with 1999's October Sky, 2001's Donnie Darko and picking up with 2014's Nightcrawler, and you'll see why those adjectives are appropriate when describing his style.
An actor's actor, were it not for his gift of pulling off punchy performances in these films - as well as subsequent roles in the critically-acclaimed Brokeback Mountain, Southpaw, Zodiac and Jarhead - his meticulous choices and disciplined approach to work (be it gaining bulk, shedding weight, performing his first fight scene in front of 2,000 people for Southpaw, or living nocturnally in preparation for Nightcrawler) might, instead, be called "hammy".
Duly then, his latest offering, Demolition, is simmering with Gyllenhaal's special brand of intensity. Only this time, amid the broodiness, there's a flash of playfulness, expressed in the form of an unapologetically joyful dance sequence amid the hubbub of New York, which sees his character unselfconsciously weaving in and out of his fellow commuters.
Laughing, the 35-year-old actor recalls the moment director Jean-Marc Vallee, who also helmed Wild and Dallas Buyers Club, broached the subject of the boogie, a week before filming was supposed to start.
"I thought, 'It's gonna be a bit humiliating'," Gyllenhaal admits. "But I like that feeling, and that's a great thing about being an actor. Jean-Marc had the camera on his shoulder and I just walked out into the street and, as all the commuters were coming down the street, started dancing through them and around them.
"There was construction going on and I just dismissed all the cones and ran through the construction and danced with different people. If you're doing something really crazy in New York City, most people tend to ignore you."
The dancing was by no means the most unusual part of Demolition, though.
The offbeat tragicomedy centres around Davis (Gyllenhaal), a successful investment banker whose life changes forever when his wife Julia dies in a car accident. Numb to the fallout, his family and father-in-law Phil, who also happens to be his boss at the bank, are perturbed when Davis doesn't live up to their expectations of grief.
The only person who can penetrate his aloof attitude is Karen (Naomi Watts), and later her troubled teenage son, Chris. The two are introduced when Davis sends a letter to a vending machine company to complain about a faulty machine at the hospital where his wife died, and Karen, one of their customer services reps, replies.
"He starts up an imaginary relationship with this company, telling them all the things that he's feeling," explains Gyllenhaal.
Soon, his letters expand on his wider feelings, and he and Karen form an allegiance. At the same time, Davis finds an unusual but helpful emotional outlet when he starts dismantling his possessions, including his marital home.
Clearly, it was an enjoyable experience for the actor.
"Jean-Marc allowed us to tear up the house ourselves," explains the actor with a chuckle. "It was incredibly cathartic, I felt like a kid.
"I often say, and I do think it's true, that it's a lot harder to create than it is to destroy. But it's really hard to take apart a house yourself."
Last September, the film was chosen to open the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival, something which is evidently a point of pride for Los Angeles-born Gyllenhaal. "There's nothing nicer than to feel you've earned something," he says.
The son of movie director Stephen Gyllenhaal and acclaimed scriptwriter Naomi Foner, and younger brother of award-winning actress Maggie Gyllenhaal, he made his acting debut in 1991 as Billy Crystal's son in City Slickers.
In his late-teens and early-20s, drama October Sky and cult favourite Donnie Darko set the wheels of his career in motion, before his portrayal of conflicted cowboy Jack Twist in Brokeback Mountain, alongside the late Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams (later becoming godfather to Ledger and Williams' daughter Matilda), earned him a Bafta and an Oscar nomination.
Next, he teams up with Amy Adams in thriller Nocturnal Animals and also stars in drama Stronger, about the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, due for release next year.
But for the time being, his mind is on Demolition.
"This movie is not really about the conventional ideas of how I'm supposed to grieve," explains Gyllenhaal. "Grief can be anything, really. We have a conventional idea. Movies, particularly, teach us how to supposedly love or hate or fight, and I think this movie is beautiful, because it doesn't say you're supposed to do anything.
"Grief is whatever you make of it, and as long as move through it, you're doing all right."
Demolition is in cinemas from this Friday

OnePlus 5T review: Hands-on
I would appreciate any suggestions to improve my web
click here
It is difficult for an amateur to write a web for a friend who is trying to make a go of a buisness.
I apprecaite a few of the pictures are not up to scratch and hope to rectify thatvery soon.
Thank you
It's amazing to me. Certainly I asked for criticism. I said in my approach the photos were not good enough and would be replaced but that was criticised. I could not find any evidence on my computer of the scroll bar mentioned. In fact.Google has already picked up the site.
But there was no positive criticism, merely, it seemd to me just a desire to put the upstart in his place.
The scrollbar also shows at 1280 x 1024 on mine. 123joey123, you have been given excellent advice on how to improve the site, I think it has dented your ego a little? What bits do you think look good and work well for a wedding photographer's site?
I thought that providing a link to a gallery of good photography websites would not just show you what the competition has but also provide some much needed (and often hard to find) inspiration. I didn't provide any positive comments because I can't in this case.
You know what I do when I create a design concept that doesn't work for me or the client? Start afresh. That's almost always the best way to deal with a design that doesn't work - that and following the best practice of focusing on the concept/content/layout/style in that order. Sort out a concept first, then start building the site itself one part at a time, delineating between content, layout/structure and finally style. Content drives layout and style, so it's an important process.
If you want to take on the professional task of designing and developing a website for someone else's business, then you have a responsibility to do a good job. It also means that it must be fully accessible, which it is currently not, so you need to be aware of that.
I'm afraid I have to agree with the others. Just a fast 30 sec look at the home page with Firefox reveals:
1) The scrollbar issue caused by the search box being wildly positioned to the left
2) The envelope image to the right of the title is non-functional except on the contact page where it takes you back to the photo album!
3) In the footer, the duplicate menu (why?) has mostly inactive options. The only ones which appear to work are Home and Photo. These options are active on other pages
4)To the left of the "Web designed..." text, there is a same-colour hyperlink labelled "Privacy policy" which takes you to Page 7. Unfortunately, this just shows latin 'test text'
5) What is the right/pointing chevron at bottom-left meant to do? Clicking on it doesn't seem to do anything.
There are plenty of other issues as well. I'm afraid the whole site is very confusing and, in a lot of places, you simply don't know what clicking on something will or won't do.
As far as Google is concerned, I just searched for "wedding photography east kent" and you weren't in the first three pages of results. Of course adding your name will find you but, unless someone knows you (and, in that case, why would they be searching Google), your name isn't likely to be one of the search terms they'll use. As Fourm Member said, given the text on your home page, search engines are not going to rank you very highly for any searches other than those which involve your name.
These [specific] comments aren't meant to belittle what's been achieved. A lot of us here (apart from the professionals like Kemistri) are amateurs who can't dedicate ourselves to web design full time since, like you, we need to bring in the cash with our main job. That being the case, we tend to develop on a trial and error basis, with feedback and help from our peers to tells us where we can improve.
On that basis, I'm afraid I have to agree with the others. Rather than trying to 'patch' all the problems, step back, take ONE DAY to research basics of web design/what makes a good (from the users point of view) site, the good advice that exists in this forum and then steal a bit of inspiration from links like Kemistri mentioned.
That way, you'll be in a much better position to design a simple site which does you and your photos justice and drives business your way.
Good luck
hi 123jeoy123,
maybe you should satisfy yourself before show it out!
as said above,two things:
1.get rid of the search box or place it anywhere else,so as to discard the scrollbar!
2.improve photograph quality in main page to attract eyes ball at the first glance!
so,keep going on!
at a resolution of 1680x1050, and that's onviously something that isn't acceptable. I share fourm member's feeling that a search facility isn't necessary anyway.
Disregarding the various technical problems for the moment, I feel the same as the others - you need to start again, and this time focus on concept.
A site that sets out to sell wedding photography is going to stand or fall on one thing above all else - the quality of the images. At the moment your site's image quality isn't up to standard, as you're aware. I suggest that you take a lot of time over both the images themselves and the presentation. People who are looking for a wedding photographer are going to be extremely picky - there's a lot riding on making the right choice, so you'll need to exude quality in every aspect of the site's design.
With website imagery there's always a compromise - you want quality, but your visitors want fast-loading images. You can achieve excellent results however, provided you're prepared to spend some time with your image-editing software, learning how to get the most out of the material you're given by the client.
It might help if you take a little time to see what you're aiming for, and with that in mind here are are a few sites I've picked out - not necessarily for their design flair, but to illustrate what's possible from the image point of view.

I think it's perfectly obvious by now that the OP isn't looking for constructive criticism, he just wanted some sort of commendation for his efforts. Maybe when he has got over his huffing, he'll secretly take some of the excellent advice above onboard and improve on the site later.
This thread is now locked and can not be replied to.

text: I'm kind of ashamed to ask this but I'm curious. Now that I have Froyo and the option in settings to WiFi tether will I get charged an extra fee from Verizon for doing so? And if so, what are my options for doing it for free with-out root? I don't ever use it nor do I really need it but I can foresee in the future using it some random day. Thanks.

sudo fdisk -l | grep NTFS | awk '{print $1}'
That lists all the the drives (fdisk -l), filters the results to show only the lines that have NTFS in them, then prints out the first section (the device and partition) of those lines. This gives me the information I need to mount the drives with ntfs-3g. The same goes for FAT partition (replace
grep NTFS with
grep W95).
So, with this, you can do:
for i in $(sudo fdisk -l | grep NTFS | awk '{print $1}')
and go ahead and mount the partitions.
I am also using something similar to this to write GUI version for ntfsundelete.
In other news, I spent ~3 hours today rooting through header files, forums, and mailing list archives trying to figure out how to write a (simple) C/C++ program that just checks to see if the .NET Framework is installed in the registry. I guess I could give and just use a batch file (this is for the autorun program). All the resources I found on reading the registry required the .NET Framework, so that just puts me back where I was before.
I fixed the
Edit your partitions option on the LiveCD and added new tools, so v1.1 will be uploaded tomorrow night once I get rid of a couple rough edges. More details tomorrow.
