MEMS Industry Group (MIG), a global industry organization with close to 150 member-companies and partners, today announced a line-up of suppliers, partners and end-user companies, all participating in MEMS TechZone, its show-floor experience at the 2013 International CES.
Micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) are pervasive in smartphones, tablets, game controllers, notebooks, and other popular consumer electronics. From tiny inertial sensors that 'translate' motion into the digital realm, miniature microphones that improve voice input and speech recognition accuracy, and personal health and fitness applications that support people living healthier, more independent lives, MEMS devices are embedded by the hundreds of millions in products that we use on a daily basis. And while consumers are using MEMS in record numbers—they aren't yet a household term, but MIG is looking to change that.
"MEMS devices have been the 'secret ingredient' in consumer electronics for far too long," said Karen Lightman, managing director, MEMS Industry Group. "The 2013 International CES gives us the perfect forum for demystifying a technology that is integral to the consumer experience. CES attendees who come to MEMS TechZone can check out some of the functionality that they appreciate today—and will love and demand from CE products tomorrow. Body motion-tracking, personal diagnostics, gesture recognition and even a wearable sensor and smartphone app that provides feedback on posture and movement are just a few of the demos that CES attendees can experience in our MEMS TechZone."
Sponsored by Bosch, Bosch Sensortec and Akustica, MEMS TechZone features MEMS suppliers, industry partners and end-user companies:
- Freescale Semiconductor—will feature its 12-Axis Xtrinsic™ Sensor Platform—a comprehensive solution comprised of sensors and sensor-fusion software that makes it easy for ODMs and OEMs to upgrade Microsoft Windows 7-based laptops and tablets to Windows 8.
- InvenSense—will demonstrate a wearable development kit that determines the activity type, and detects changes in elevation and overall calorie burn. InvenSense's 9-axis, single-chip MotionTracking device is the key enabling technology.
- Kionix—will introduce novel inertial-sensor technologies that drive down current consumption and size for resource-constrained portable devices.
- LUMOback—will demonstrate its wearable sensor and smartphone app that mimics the wearer's movements and posture in real time, capturing that information when the wearer sits, stands, walks, runs and sleeps.
- Sensor Platforms—will showcase its FreeMotion™ library, the first plug-and-play sensor hub that supports both Windows 8 and Android—without requiring developer modifications. FreeMotion is also hardware-agnostic, working both on sensor hubs and application processors.
- WiSpry—will give CES attendees a 'hands-on' experience with its RF-MEMS devices in mobile phones—showing how its technology promotes longer battery life and reduces dropped calls.
- X PRIZE Foundation—will promote the $10 million Qualcomm Tricorder X PRIZE and $2.25 million Nokia Sensing X Challenge—competitions that will help to revolutionize personal healthcare by making sensing and diagnostic assessment technologies available directly to consumers.
- Xsens—will demonstrate sensor-fusion software for real-time 3D body-motion tracking based on multiple wireless, wearable motion-sensor nodes. The technology digitizes the wearer's motion for applications in sports, fitness, healthcare and gaming and is available for licensing. Xsens will also present low-power 9D/10D motion sensor-fusion for "always on" motion tracking on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.
For More Information
MEMS TechZone takes place from January 8-11, 2013 during 2013 International CES exhibition hours, and is located at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) South Hall 2, Booth 25321.
MIG will also host a half-day MEMS conference session and keynote on January 8, 2013 from 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m., LVCC, North Hall, Room N264.

Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend. New versions of favorites, such as the Samsung Gear (three new products were released: the Gear 2, the Gear 2 Neo and the Gear Fit), shared the limelight with new wearables like Pebble Time Steel (the new premium version of the company's previously released smartwatch) and the LG Watch Urbane. The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

Japanese researchers used PET with copper-64 to track and visualize the effects of treatment for Menkes disease, a rare condition in which patients are unable to absorb copper. After researchers injected mouse models with the isotope along with either disulfiram or D-penicillamine, PET showed higher copper uptake in the brain and reduced uptake in the kidneys in the disulfiram group compared with those treated with copper alone. The results published in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine suggest the efficacy of the drug in increasing copper uptake in the brain and the potential of PET for guiding development of Menkes disease treatment.

DEFINITION of 'Vintage'
A slang term used by mortgage-backed securities (MBS) traders and investors to refer to an MBS that is seasoned over some time period. MBSs typically have maturities around 30 years, and a particular issue's 'vintage' will expose the holder to less prepayment and default risk, although this decreased risk also limits price appreciation.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Vintage'
The underlying loans of certain vintage MBSs have unique characteristics, such as burnout, that make the vintage trade at a premium price. These unique characteristics are a result of how underlying assets in MBS are pooled. Most MBSs pool the underlying assets across certain geographical regions with similar terms to maturity and interest rates. This makes forecasting payment plans more predictable.

Suffering from chronic illness and unable to get satisfactory results from doctors, husband and wife scientists Paul and Shou-Ching Jaminet took an intensely personal interest in health and nutrition. They embarked on five years of rigorous research. What they found changed their lives— and the lives of thousands of their readers.
In Perfect Health Diet, the Jaminets explain in layman's terms how anyone can regain health and lose weight by optimizing nutrition, detoxifying the diet, and supporting healthy immune function. They show how toxic, nutrient-poor diets sabotage health, and how on a healthy diet, diseases often spontaneously resolve.
Perfect Health Diet tells you exactly how to optimize health and make weight loss effortless with a clear, balanced, and scientifically proven plan to change the way you eat—and feel—forever!
Paul Jaminet, PhD, was an astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. Paul's experience overcoming a chronic illness led the Jaminets to develop the views of aging and disease presented in Perfect Health Diet.
'eoeThis is more than a diet. It's a program for perfect health. The result of 5 years of research, the Perfect Health Diet enabled scientists Paul and Shou-Ching Jaminet to cure their own chronic diseases. With more than 600 citations to the scientific literature, Perfect Health Diet explains simply and clearly how to optimize your diet for a lifetime of great health. I've read hundreds of books on nutrition and health in my life, and Perfect Health Diet is at the top of the list."'e"Chris Kresser, M.S., Lac; integrative medicine practitioner and blogger at ChrisKresser.com
'eoeThe Perfect Health Diet is the missing link.Ý It bridges the gap between the philosophical, broad-based, almost intuitive ancestral approach to health and the hard-core data hounds who need to see proof at every step. The authors are scientists through and through, an astrophysicist and a molecular biologist, who deftly wield the scepter of cold, hard science while paying homage to the inescapable wisdom of traditional, ancestral, evolutionary health.'e 'e"Mark Sisson, author of The Primal Blueprint and founder of marksdailyapple.com
'eoeFrom the best of what we know about ancestral science and the natural world comes a modern-day formula proven to return us to optimal health. The Perfect Health Diet delivers exactly what it promises.'e 'e"Dallas & Melissa Hartwig, authors of It Starts With Food
'eoeThe sanest overview of what to eat I have ever seen. If you are going to read only one thing on the subject, read this.'e 'e"Seth Roberts, Ph.D., professor emeritus of psychology at UC Berkeley and author of The Shangri-La Diet
"Whenever any of my clients ask me a health/performance diet question, I just tell them to go to Perfect Health Diet; I trust that anything that appears in the book has been thoroughly researched and examined. ÝOne of my best friends was on the diet while undergoing chemo and his bloodwork numbers were so good that they would have been considered average...for a person without cancer. ÝThis book is my number one nutritional resource for my family, friends, and clients.'e
-Court Wing, Co-founder and Head of Training, CrossFit NYC
"This book provides the missing link between Paleolithic diets and complete health and vitality, and provides a complete foundation for total ancestral health in the modern age."'e"Aaron Blaisdell, Professor of Psychology at UCLA and President of the Ancestral Health Society.

Here at Kiwi, we are all about our kids, as I am sure you are. That is why we love children's museums! Children's museums give us endless amounts of things to do with our kids. That is why children's museums are this week's Pick of the Week!
The first children's museum was opened in Brooklyn, NY in 1899 and is still operating over one hundred years later. Now, the United States has more than 200 children's museums. Museums solely built and designed with children in mind have survived depressions, two world wars, and probably countless budget cuts!
Even though they were the first, Brooklyn's Children Museum is definitely not outdated. In fact, they are temporarily shutting down in order to expand its already impressive children's activites. Until then, BCM has different activities everyday like "Little Scientist" and "Totally Tots Fall Fun Party."
Here is a list of KIWI's favorite children's museums.
Your favorite not here? Let us know! Also, check our website for KiwiKaravan events, soon. We maybe be coming to a children's museum or an event near you!

Did the usual hunt for best prices on a hunting jacket that I wished to purchase . Every time the cheapest price led me back to Uttings. I have a Scatts close to myself and asked if they would price match. At first they said they would consider it,then refused stating that they could not go that low.
I have recently searched for a particular Type of dog bed and again Uttings have the lowest price listed. placing my order today!

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
This is a logo I'm working on for a speaker / preacher. He tours quite a bit, speaking at different churches. The idea of the name 'Front & Center' comes from the verse Colossians 1:18 where it speaks of giving Christ preeminence.
Some verbs that the client came up with to characterize the ministry are: teaching; refreshing; liberating; gracious; clear; thought provoking; insightful; practical; reforming; inclusive
I would appreciate crits.
[Please note, this isn't 5 different options, they are 5 different applications of the same design. Please give feedback on the overall design, not which one you like best. Thanks ! ]
Just an update, I've made some refinements:
I'm getting a strong vibe that this brief has great potential; and frankly this stuff isn't it. If you manage to wrap your brain around this thing and go deep, you'll end up with something you can flaunt in your portfolio for many years.
Why not use 1 application for the design for the sake of consistency and recognition?
You could search a fitting object who resambles those values.
You could simplify the diamond.
Gr, JB
The symbol seems pretty abstract. Also I don't care for the dinky little ampersand; it makes a weak central element and will disappear if the logo is reproduced small.

News In Manga Style – Two Manga-News Sites Show Up
Two manga-style news are launching within a month in Japan.
Manga no Shimbun
Manga no Shimbun(Manga Newspaper) is a website offers news in Japanese comic style, launched October 15th 2009 by KaBa Net [J].
Manga no Shimbun covers four categories, Politics/Economy, International, Society and Entertainment/Sports.
On the launch announcement [J], also in manga by (probably) the chief of editor, he says they have plans for cellphone sites, multi-language translation to English, French, Korean, etc.
Nihon IT Manga Shimbun
Nihon IT Manga Shimbun (Japan IT Manga Newspaper) seems to start on November 12th 2009 by Trend Pro [J]. There are no official release found and the site tells "Open Beta".
This site, as the site title implies, only has IT related news, however, the top-right tabs, currently disabled says, "Economic" and "Politics" so these two other categories might appear soon.
In the country where huge number of comics are published, where not only kids but many adults read them, it is wise to reach people in manga style, I think.

Roundup damage question
I am very selective with my use of roundup and thought I was being careful, but some spray must have hit 2 of my hydrangea cuttings back in April. I wanted to clear out the grass in between the hedge I'm establishing. At first I thought they would die but then I saw the green coming back and even new growth. Unfortunately, the new growth is distorted and they are definitely stunted. These 2 are more than 1/2 the size of my other cutting (started and planted at the same time). I'm sick about it. Wondering if they will grow normally next year or continue to be sickly. I could start new cuttings. Info on line says the roundup is out of the soil in several weeks but not clear on how long the effected plants remain stunted. Thanks in advance for your help.
As you can see no more grass but not much growth compared to the other cutting next to it which as I said was started and planted the same time. This one is even going to flower this year. I did the same to both - fertilized with slow release in April, miracle grow in May and alfalfa tea in June. Debating now if I should fertilize this month - if I do I will go organic slow release for sure. Thanks again for any advice.
Looks like the stunted one has a bud?? Should catch up eventually. Roundup is by no means a permanent entity. These are what, limelights? Prune each to equal sizes once they have filled out. They should grow at equal rates next year provided they receive similar treatment and nutrition. Try slow release fert with weed control for flower beds instead of instant killer.
You are right Springwood, there is a bud! I didn't realize this until you pointed it out. I had to go out and check for myself to be sure. Ha! With all the stress this plant has been through, it still will flower! I hope you are right about the roundup damage not being permanent. Yes, these are limelights. I have experience with these plants and know how well they do when pruned in late winter/early spring. But I hesitate to prune next year as I am trying to increase the height to provide privacy from the neighbor. This is why I am concerned with the stunted growth this year. No one to blame but myself. I will probably smother weeds with newspaper and shredded leaves next spring instead of putting anything down. Once a month fertilizing seems to work so I will do this again next year. Once the temp comes down, I will do one more round for this year but use slow release. Thanks so much!
Thanks again Springwood. If I can be so bold as to give advice to you, I would recommend the once a month fertilizing program for the limelight. In the past, I just gave mine a shot in the spring - usually something like composted manure or alfalfa tea. And I was happy with the results. But since I was interested in stimulating growth on this hedge I read up on a fertilizing plan and most recommendations were once a month until July or August. Not counting my roundup faux pas, my limelights did well this year.
I thought about trying the little lime but I don't have much room left in my yard. I still may try them in the future though. I have heard they don't flower the same as limelight. Is this true? Thanks again for you input.
Hey I'm no expert, just a hydrangea enthusiast undertaking a lot of testing and experience sharing. You are correct, as I only fertilized once with basic MG Shake n Feed this year. I could stand to do it in a few more spots, and now would be the last time I would do it before fall.
Little lime seems to have darker foliage and the flowers do seem to develop a little differently. I think this plant is a winner in most gardens!

GamesBeat Summit is invite-only -- apply here. Ticket prices increase on April 3rd! StarCraft II players can once again compete on Major League Gaming's biggest stage. The e-sports league announced today that Blizzard's popular real-time-strategy title will return to MLG this month as part of the GameOn Invitational tournament. That event will feed into MLG's Summer Championship, which will also feature StarCraft II. MLG's Summer Championship is June 20 through June 22 in Anaheim, Calif. In August, MLG dropped StarCraft II from its roster of titles. MLG chief executive Sundance DiGiovanni explained at the time that title didn't fit into its plans. StarCraft II, which along with the original StarCraft has been one of the most popular games in e-sports, was not part of the association's most recent Championship in November in Columbus, Ohio. In November, MLG told GamesBeat that it weighs a lot of factors when deciding which games to feature at its Championships. While it considers fan demand in the decision-making process, an MLG spokesperson also explained that it also has to take partnerships with developers and publishers into accounts. The Columbus competition only featured major Activision's shooter Call of Duty: Ghosts and Valve's multiplayer online arena battler Dota 2. More information: Activision Activision (Activision Blizzard) is an American video game developer and publisher headquartered in Santa Monica, CA, but now operating worldwide. It was the first independent developer and distributor of video games for gaming console... read more » Powered by VBProfiles

Gently squeezing the front brake, you scrub off speed to enter the next corner. Scanning the road surface, pavement camber and corner radius, you see the perfect line through. A quick down shift and you're in the right gear, right r.p.m. Leaning into the corner feeding power to the rear, gaining positive traction.

In my paintings, I�m a story teller now -using paint instead of words to tell my stories. There are so many thoughts and emotions that start to pour through me when I begin a new painting. The painting tells me its title as I work on it. I do my best work when intuition is my guiding force. The wisdom of the Native Americans has mixed with Eastern philosophy and shows itself in my animal paintings. Water, the greatest magnet in the outer world for me, serves as...

Super Bowl Menu: Creative Snacking
Feb 1, 2012 3:01 pm
Awesome, easy snack recipes for the Super Bowl
If you're the kind of person who takes photos of perfect little snacks, even an artful squiggle of sriracha on a Dorito (hey, tell it to Instagram), these are the Super Bowl recipes you'll want to master before game day. Don't let their size fool you.
You see, it's not just about serving guac in the bowl you mashed it in with smears of avocado and unblended chili powder around the rim, even though that's undoubtedly tasty. It's about taking pride in your sport, your team and, to a certain far-fetched extent, your country. So save those football-themed cocktail toothpicks for some other super-important game and break out the mini buns. It's hustle time for every Giants and Patriots fan out there.

Budo, the way of the martial arts, is at heart a path of spiritual cultivation and self-realization whose aim is to develop a strategic mind that makes combat unnecessary. Kenji Tokitsu explains the philosophy of karate as budo and looks deeply at the key concepts that are essential for developing the budo mind in karate practice. These concepts are:
• distance and timing,
• rhythm, anticipation, and intuition,
• and the cultivation of explosive but focused energy.
These concepts are difficult to teach, but mastering them is the ultimate goal of any true martial artist. Tokitsu expertly guides the reader through these elusive ideas with clarity and a practical view.
Kenji Tokitsu was born in Japan and began studying martial arts when he was a child. He has taught karate in Paris since 1971. In 1984 he founded the Shaolin-mon school, where he teaches a synthesis of the original combat arts of Japan and China. In 2001 he established the Tokitsuryu Academy to teach and promote his method. For more information, visit www.tokitsu.com. Tokitsu also holds doctorates in sociology and in Japanese language and civilization. He is the author of numerous books.

I have been purchasing these batteries for a while, and suddenly, instead of coming in a plastic box of 12, they come taped in groups of 4. This tape is hard to get off and a nuisance when you are out in the field and need to replace batteries in a laser light. Also, since the batteries have been coming taped, it seems that they do not have the battery life of the ones I purchased previously - maybe they are old stock?Date published: 2015-03-03Rated 5 out of 5 by Blessed in Ks from Great Value These batteries are ten dollars for two batteries where we live.

I am having a problem with a specific environment and I am wondering if it is a problem being created by video settings. Every time I go to my Fleet's Starbase, I am greeted on the Ops Section of the Starbase by a very very very dark environment. Now when I walk around this environment, the shadows and skybox never changes and you can even see them really well. Its just the initial environment inside the Starbase Ops section is too dark. Now when I step into the Holodeck on the same level of the Ops Section, just stepping from the hallway into the holodeck the environment brightens up and returns to what it normally is supposed to look like.
Would anyone know the problem?

The cost of providing electricity from wind and solar power plants has plummeted over the last five years, so much so that in some markets renewable generation is now cheaper than coal or natural gas.
So let me add: fuck you nuclear, and your malignant, cancerous apologists. Fuck you gas fracking and the outright poisoning of our vital aquifers. Fuck you oil drillers, destroying the Gulf of Mexico as if it was yours to destroy. Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you.

LIVE FEED: Riot police on standby for London Million Mask March
Looks very chaotic, pointless and dangerous. Chants include, "Revolution," and the old standby, "Our Streets."
But what are they about?
…Explosions are heard now, as I post. Police response.
"Revolution" is a recipe for disaster. You need to build a better alternative and not tear down what exists. Mindless calls for "revolution" are as stupid and dangerous as the warmongers you claim to oppose. There is still a means for achieving power and making change legitimately, but it's a lot harder than making a bunch of noise in the street once a year. You have to build a political movement to show up at the polls.
Ineffectual marches don't change anything. What is the cause and effect? You make the politicians notice you? And? They notice challenges to their jobs a lot more. That's where these mindless movements fail, and I suspect it's by design. They claim to be leaderless, but someone decided what sort of protest would happen and on what day. As this is the only venting avenue in sight the disgruntled fall for it. It won't work. It won't change anything. But it manages to grab people and send them out marching in a pointless display. Tomorrow it will be over, and that's that.
Build the alternative, or forget about it. You're being played, million mask marchers. Your efforts are in vain.

The Square: Documenting Egypt's revolution
by Eric Wahlberg
The Square, a documentary about Egypt's January 2011 uprising, provides glimpses of most of the players but gives short shrift to the Muslim Brotherhood, the main player that was then targeted by the deep state headed by the military.
The Square, the Academy Award-nominated Egyptian-American documentary film by Jehane Noujaim, depicts events in Egypt from January 2011 focusing on Tahrir Square. It is neither "Egyptian" nor "American" in any meaningful sense, as the Egyptian "government" has banned it, Noujaim's mother is American, and she was raised more in Kuwait, has lived in Boston since 1990, and as such is far from typically American in outlook.
Furthermore, she financed and produced the film independently, raising funds from kickstarter.com, where supporters around the world can pledge funds to help finance such projects, and it premiered on Netflix, again for worldwide distribution (except, of course, Egypt). It is very much a film of the new international age, where nationalism is less and less meaningful, where forces of both repression and resistance are increasingly international.
Given these handicaps/advantages, Noujaim has produced a remarkable documentary, which will surely stand as the most powerful and riveting expose of what lay behind the immediate upheavals that began in 2011 and which will continue into the foreseeable future in Egypt.
This is not to say that it is objective, since that is impossible anyway, as any journalism, any writing, any film inevitably reflects the standpoint of the author. So it is no surprise that the Muslim Brotherhood, though unavoidably prominent throughout the film (at least as a specter), is given short shrift. Or that the secular youth dominate the film and are portrayed as the main force and the most appealing protagonists of the revolution.
What astounds the viewer, whether secular or Islamic, is the military and police violence against the people, both Muslims and Christians. It is too easy to forget their overwhelming responsibility for the post-revolutionary violence—in league, of course, with the old guard and the openly criminal elements in Egyptian society.
By highlighting some of the worst episodes of violence in the past three years and winning prominence for her film, Noujaim has done a great service. She has made it impossible for thinking people to ignore the military's bloody past and present actions. The film uses actual footage of security force atrocities to document the unceasing and unapologetic recourse to murder and torture by the military and police.
Interspersed with these horrible scenes are interviews with senior military figures, one of whom smugly admits that the so-called revolution was actually carried out by the military itself to prevent Mubarak from passing on the presidency to his son Jamal, and that when it is time, it will be cut short. His prophetic words were echoed by worried revolutionaries, who were constantly looking over their shoulders, expecting a coup, and in the end—unbelievably and to their shame—actually calling for one.
This plot was well-known even before the events of January–Feburary 2011. But the revolution seemed to take events out of the military's control. Suddenly the military was faced with a mass uprising, not so easy to quell as they thought. How would it rein in these powerful forces that it had unleashed—to put the genie back in the bottle? Egyptians quickly matured politically, demanding genuine elections and, as soon became clear, an Islamic government. What was the poor military to do?
Here, The Square pleads "Not my job!" sticking to its human interest angle. Fair enough. We can fill in the blanks: in addition to its ongoing episodic violence, intended to intimidate everyone, the military hobbled Islamic activists at every step, disbanding the elected parliament and stripping the president of his powers, in hopes that they could cow them into accepting a subservient role in the new order.
When it became clear to all—Islamic groups, Christians, old guard, secuarlists—that Islamic groups were ready and able to chart a new course for Egypt based on the Quran, the military's only weapon was … weapons. Up the violence! Kill, torture, terrorize, and then, when Egyptians of all stripes were pleading for "security", take control. Very clever.
This clear scenario is only hinted at by The Square. Most of the film's protagonists spout the nonsense that the Brotherhood was in a cynical pact with the military, and the only Brotherhood actor featured in the film is Magdy Ashour, a dissident within the Brotherhood who disobeys his higher-ups defiantly at crucial moments, even disowning the Brotherhood at one point. No legitimate Brotherhood spokesman articulates the views held by most members—that the MB was pursuing a more patient, realistic, and less confrontational path to civilian democracy.
The film was originally released in January 2012 and immediately won the Audience Award for World Cinema Documentary at the Sundance film festival and the People's Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival. With the July 2013 coup, Noujaim returned to Tahrir to update the film, swallowing the secularist line about "the largest demonstration in history" precipitating the coup and actually celebrating the coup (through the joy of the film's actors — excluding Ashour). The film ends with the naive secular hero, ex-street kid Ahmed Hassan, phoning Ashour, traumatized, tortured and in prison, to wish him well and say there is nothing personal in their disagreement over the coup. Crocodile tears.
Noujaim, as channeled by Ahmed and the other main protagonist, British-Egyptian actor Khalid Abdallah, while not happy with the coup in retrospect, rationalizes it as a step toward their goal of a nice, secular democratic Egypt, a lovely fantasy, which the cynical military and the Brotherhood both know to be a false goal.
The Pinochet of Egypt, General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, overthrew the legitimate government headed by President Mohamed Mursi in July 2013, ordered the slaughter of thousands, and has since been promoted to Field Marshal by his quisling interim President Adly Mansour. El-Sisi has never actually commanded troops in any "war," except the war against his own people, making the title ludicrous. Yes, Pinochet became president of Chile and continued his reign of terror for 17 years, but he was eventually arrested and is remembered now as a cruel and unjust tyrant, not Chile's savior. Read your history, Sisi.
Noujain did not make this logical conclusion, though we, the viewers, can. Like all cultural artifacts, The Square is a product of its environment, its maker, and demands an intelligent viewing. It is to be recommended as a surprisingly honest depiction of events. The fact that it raises the ire of just about everyone shows that it is not pulling any punches. Only the secular socialists can enthusiastically commend it, but then that is Noujain's milieu. We can at least be thankful to her for providing a precious compilation of historic footage, interspersed with "the human stories of specific individuals caught up in the revolt", but especially for revealing the military monster eating away at the heart of the revolution.
"This film is sort of a love letter to those ideas that were put forth at the start of the revolution. Some may say that what is happening now is a tragedy, but it is still an open-ended story." With the deletion of "some may say that," Noujain has the pulse of Egypt's revolution. Good luck to Noujain at the Oscars.

Filmmaker Alex Winter presents a radical and potentially disturbing take on the web beyond the law, the secretive parts of the internet nicknamed the "dark web."
Winter already did a film favorable to Napster, calling it a "revolution" and giving a one-sided view of file sharing.
What strikes me is the total contempt and opposition to the music artists (and other copyright holders) who want to get paid so they can survive. There is no balance to his presentation, and his fawning description of a web beyond the law, the realm of drugs, organized crime and terrorism, sort of gives pause. Just what is he advocating? Some laws are a good thing.
I remember a documentary from 1970 about the Grateful Dead and Janis Joplin touring across Canada. Just after Woodstock, when the massive crowds tore down the fences and the concert turned free – the bands met up with Canadian crowds who only wanted free concerts. The kids tried to tear down fences in several shows, and Jerry Garcia discussed it with others about how the band needed to get paid so they could tour at all. The musicians do need some compensation, and the expectation of free everything is childish and unrealistic, actually detrimental to all concerned. If artists can't survive then they will be out of the game. Some compensation needs to be part of the system, or else it validates the claims of music corporations that downloading is "theft." Many people hate corporations with a knee jerk response, and the big ones deserve it. But the musicians themselves are a part of this equation.
Alex Winter's new project Deep Web is described here:
His pitch for a $10,000 sugar daddy is another moment to give pause. Seems like someone oblivious that he's playing with fire. Or else he's a bit of a pyromaniac. Something to consider, anyway.
How can we balance the needs of free communications with the need to uphold the law and fight crime? The new age is scary, for so many reasons. The rise of hackers, government and corporate sponsored, as well as individuals and straight out criminals has us all at a disadvantage. The modern condition is hackers 1, citizens 0. As systems become more complex and pervasive that score is going to get a lot worse.

My peppers for 2013
Last year we had a hot summer (for here) and I grew Firecracker and Charleston Hot peppers. They were OK, but I had to use every trick in the book to extend the season and even then lots of peppers never ripened. So this year I wanted something earlier and more tolerant of cool weather. I read that a company has grown out the hybrid "Super Chili" to de-hybridize it and market the stabilized plant as "Matchbox Chili", claiming to keep the same cold-tolerant and heavy yield characteristics as the original, with a Scoville rating of 40,000. So I'm putting all my eggs in one basket this year, hope it works out.
So here they are... I planted 18 seeds (2 per cell) and hoped to thin them to 9. As it turned out, only 9 came up so that solves the thinning issue :)
Has anyone grown these who can tell me how large the plants get? My plan is to put them on my deck in 3 large pots, 3 plants per pot.
I planted them on March 9, here they are today (March 26):
I realize they are tiny compared to the pictures I'm seeing on this forum, but hey, I've still got a long wait before I can plant them out... here's what my veggie garden looks like today:
I'm looking at about half the amount of snow as well. I'm curious, what kinds of temps are you guys looking at throughout summer? I looked into historic data for my area earlier today, and discovered lower temps than I'd expected, and got a little worried...
Hi from Ontario, Don. We got a little sun today and I had a little melt in my backyard, but there's still lots of snow around the house. About the chillies, I have only ever grown them in the ground. Mine got about 2-3 feet high, not very wide, and produced peppers continuously throughout the summer. They were always the first to turn red. They are prolific producers.
Re: " My plan is to put them on my deck in 3 large pots, 3 plants per pot."
I think you will do much better with one plant per pot. Yield and quality boils down to great root development. If I were you, I'd either get six more pots, or eventually thin down to the 3 best ones.
P.S. We don't permit crappy weather here, by law.
Here's my plants looking out into the cold white garden where I hope to eventually grow them:
At 59.79 degrees North, our summers are colder than yours, Don. 30C is a rare temperature seen around here. I guess 25C is a very hot summer day here. Some of you already have that next week I see :)
People growing in cold areas, what are your tricks? Green houses? Do you grow in the ground? I'm planning on a raised bed, maybe a makeshift green house, but nothing big/fancy.
you don't mention where you are, or what peppers you are growing, but it's awesome that you are growing hots at 60 degrees North. Here at 53.5 N, we get 17 hours of sunshine per day at the summer solstice, you must get several hours more than that. Those long days help make up at least in part for the short growing season and cooler temps.
Soil temps are an issue in the North, so a raised bed like you propose is definitely a plus. I choose instead to plant in pots on my deck -- the pots essentially acting as a raised bed and allowing the roots much warmer temps than they would get if planted directly in the garden.
If you have a greenhouse or access to a greenhouse, that's much better for hot-weather crops up north than any open garden will ever be.
Days aren't that much longer - almost 19 hours at the summer solstice.
I am going to put some plants in pots, but the "problem" is that I've been way more successful than I'd ever imagined so far, and still have 50+ healthy plants :) So I can't afford nor do I have the room for so many pots.
Like I said, I'm considering some greenhouse MacGyvering - my main concern here is that we live in row houses. Neighbours are pretty close, and any massive construction in my garden will most likely attract some complaints ;)
I'm just south of Oslo, Norway.
I just looked up Manzano peppers... interesting. But if you have trouble getting them to ripen in zone 6, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't work for me. I can't plant peppers out until around June 1, then killing frost usually comes in the second half of September. I don't bring plants inside anymore, too many past issues with spider mites and aphids. Thanks for the suggestion though.
Haven't really considered Manzano, but might next year. Really though, I set out to grow chillies because I wanted a steady supply of e.g. Poblanos, which I can't buy where I live. Same with Hungarian Hot Wax. While I was at it, I threw in some other types as well :)
You guys way up north might want to consider building something like in the link below. Looks a hell of lot more economical than a greenhouse. I've seen some pics of some of his larger tunnels...pretty impressive. He grows beautiful vegetables out of them at times of the year when one "shouldn't" for his frost dates and climate.
Here is a link that might be useful: jrslick's grow tunnels

Update -- plants developing a bit faster than I had hoped. Although still short, they are all getting flower buds. They shouldn't really be planted outside until June 1 (though last year I went a bit earlier).
Weather is doing crazy swings this time of year -- I was wearing shorts on Friday and Saturday. Wet snow fell all day today (Monday) with some accumulation and winds gusting to 80 km/hr (50 mph). In 3 days it is supposed to be back to shorts-weather.
This pic is of my peps today (in 2" pots). Two of the tallest ones had been clipped over the past week or two and seemed to be branching well, so after taking this pic I clipped all the others. I expect to move to 4" pots before hardening off in a few weeks time. Flying by the seat of my pants really.

Lovely people, wonderful guests, super considerate, respectful, social, very interested in our city. They were easy-going and they left everything very clean. I can recommend these guests to everybody and we would always host them again.
Thanks so much for your stay!
