Pampered at The Diwa Club
Photographs and story by Peta Kaplan & Ben Sandzer-Bell
It is not our first time staying at an Alila Hotel, as we had a chance to experience the Alila ŌĆ£Surprisingly DifferentŌĆØ brand in Bali, Indonesia.┬Ā So it was with anticipation that we came to Alila Diwa Goa, the 5 year old hotel on the Coast, south of Goa.
Alila Diwa Goa is a beautiful property built to accommodate both couples such as ourselves and larger groups for life events, such as weddings and anniversaries.┬Ā The grounds are landscaped such that one gradually discovers the charms of the hotel.
We are welcomed at the Diwa Club, which is the 5 star smaller wing that offers the most luxurious rooms and a high level of personal attention.┬Ā The room is simply gorgeous ŌĆō spacious, beautiful materials and a view onto one of the swimming pools.
The feature that will make it oh so difficult to leave the bedroom is the beautiful bathroom, with its oval shaped bathtub, which is very enticing, due to its large size that invites a good soak.
After traveling extensively, we are ready for some luxury and the Diwa Club is poised to provide us just that.
The dedicated dining room, steps away from our bedroom, is simply gorgeous.┬Ā The floor tile work provides a classy support for the sitting/dining areas.
What distinguishes this restaurant, for us, is the much appreciated ŌĆ£7 to 7ŌĆØ breakfast offering.┬Ā The last thing we want when indulging in a restful vacation is having to be guided by stringent breakfast time constraints.┬Ā It is a touch of ŌĆ£time luxuryŌĆØ that adds to the overall feel of being able to really relax and take our time.
The breakfast, which we delight in every day, had an extensive range of yummy sounding options.┬Ā But it is the salmon eggs benedict, cooked to perfection, ┬Āwhich wins the accolades.
One particularly fun aspect of breakfast at this venue is that there is a ŌĆ£cerealogistŌĆØ and ŌĆ£fruitologistŌĆØ on staff.┬Ā┬Ā┬Ā OK, perhaps the terminology will not make it as a new word in the Webster annual list of new term of use in the English language, but it aptly describes the effort made by the hotel to provide a one-of-a-kind experience in cerealogy.
If this restaurant reserved exclusively for The Diwa Club, is our destination of choice in the morning, it is the main infinity pool that becomes our home in the evening.
Flowing as it does, gently, over the rice paddies, the larger pool is the ideal location for late afternoon swimming.┬Ā The dramatic skies, especially before a dusk rain, provide live theater from the edge of the pool.
This area is also the place to go for a fun ŌĆ£winkŌĆØ at Indian street food.┬Ā The street food cart offers the most delicious bite size treats such as the Dahi Puri, as well as afternoon tea.┬Ā It is hard to describe, without a recipe, this magical bite.┬Ā Imagine a crispy ping pong ball size, sphere, in which a combination of flavorful spices and sweet yoghurt are poured.┬Ā The trick is to go from maker to eater as quickly as possible, so that the outer shell remains crisp, while the inside ŌĆ£fillingŌĆØ remains juicy.┬Ā We seek to oblige the culinary process and ensure we do it right, several times (just for practice).┬Ā It is scrumptious.
Our stay at Alila Diwa Goa was a (well deserved) dip into a world of luxury where time was stretched, where we could delight in the end of day sunset, and where our assigned personal host made sure we had all our logistics handled with no fuss.
We needed to have laundry done ~ check;
Needed daily English language newspapers ~ check; needed to print documents for the airport ~ check; wanted to schedule some activities ~ a cooking class for Ben, a Kerala massage for Peta ~ check; needed to be driven to the airport on our last day in Goa ~ check.┬Ā Ah, we could get used to this level of personal support on our Green Global Trek (www.greenglobaltrek.blogspot.com).
After a few┬Ā days at Alila Diwa Goa, we are left with a glow from the pool-side rest and massage, taste buds content from having a culinary adventure and a readiness to move on with our travels, refreshed and pampered.
Luxury Plus at Alila Villas Soori.
Photographs and story by Laura Csortan
IŌĆÖve been to Bali numerous times now and every time is a unique experience. To date, this one is my favourite and certainly the most luxurious.
Another fan of Alila Villas Soori is none other than The BiebŌĆÖs, thatŌĆÖs right Justin Bieber has visited for the last three years with his Mother. ItŌĆÖs no wonder as Tabanan, where the resort is located is a world away from the hustle and bustle of Seminyak and Kuta. You could be anywhere in the world at this secluded resort located along the southwest coast of Bali. Soori embraces all the stunning nature that surrounds it. The lush green fertile land which is home to an abundance of rice terraces and the beautiful black-volcanic sand beaches which shimmers at sunset and feels as soft as icing sugar under your feet.
The minute you enter the resort an ease washes over as the friendly staff guide you to your villa, not before welcoming you with a refreshing ginger welcome drink and a cool lemongrass infused towel.
Driving to Alila Villas Soori was an experience in itself. We cruised through beautiful frangipani lined streets where villages and temples form the landscape in their splendid original form, no Hard Rock CafeŌĆÖs here!
Alila Villas Soori is also located just 20 minutes from Tanah Lot Temple, one of BaliŌĆÖs most sacred temples. SooriŌĆÖs surroundings are as special as the resort itself. ┬ĀOpening the door to our villa was like walking into a dreamŌĆ"the ocean crashed in front of our uninterrupted view and the pool surrounding our room created the illusion we were floating on water.┬ĀNo stone has been left un-turned in the stylish, luxurious and contemporary villas. ┬ĀIŌĆÖm not one for relaxing usually but this place has a magical vibe which would send even the most hyperactive person into the zen zone.
I woke up every morning to the smoothie of the day followed by the most beautiful yoga class right next to the ocean. Starting with a meditation followed by a series of yoga moves, I was floating after each class. Breakfast, my favorite meal of the day changed daily and never failed to impress. The small portions meant I could try a few dishes, all unique in flavor and varied from healthy to wellŌĆ"pancakes, caramelized banana and bacon, I tried them all, everything is calorie free on holiday! ┬ĀAfter breakfast the hours seemed to gently drift on by, either spent by the pool, in my seaside villa or in the world class spa getting a local massage as only┬Ā the Balinese can.
Each night the sunset would spill itŌĆÖs orange and gold brilliance over the resort. Basking in the golden glow my boyfriend and I walked the black glistening beach until the sun finally sunk into the ocean. Wine by the fire pits followed over-looking the Indian Ocean, needless to say the ambiance was out of control.┬Ā We had dinner nightly at Omak, the outdoors restaurant next to the illuminated crashing waves. I was beyond relaxed and ready to do it all over again the next day. How does one return to reality?
Stay tuned for more Alila Bali adventures and pics, coming soon!
Happy Travels, Laura xx
Heavenly Soori
Photographs and story by Ernanda Putra :┬Āhttp://instagram.com/ernandaputra
ŌĆ£This is paradiseŌĆØ were the first words that slipped out of my mouth when I arrived at Alila Villas Soori. Although clich├®, I didnŌĆÖt know if there were any other words that could truly capture the beauty of the mountains unfolding into the rice fields against the gleaming black sand beach. As we stepped out of our transportation, we were greeted by the warm smiles of the staff with lemongrass-scented towels to refresh our faces from fatigue.
Later on, we took a Segway tour around the resort and the surrounding areas. Zipping along on a Segway through the rice fields is truly a unique, exhilarating ŌĆ" almost zen-like experience, where I really felt one with nature.
When it was time for dinner, the food enchanted us! Our first culinary experience was a flavorful one, filled with the layered spices of Indonesian ŌĆ£RendangŌĆØ and grilled prawn from Cotta. The second dining experience we had was the next day at Ombak, Alila Villas Soori Western restaurant, the Wagyu steak was so juicy I wasnŌĆÖt in a hurry for it to leave my mouth as I wanted to savor the taste for as long as possible.
The villas were designed to mix stone and wood, the combination of these two elements made me feel calm & comfortable. The little elements of luxury that added to the comfort were all over the place, from the furniture to the sheets, creating a long lasting impression that will forever linger in my mind.
While we were inside our villa, and I was looking out at my view of the ocean, I was constantly reminded about how amazing nature truly is. This is something that I often forget about living in the hustle and bustle of a sprawling metropolis like Jakarta where itŌĆÖs easy to get lost between the tall skyscrapers . My time in the villa gave me a much needed escape to lay back, relax and get lost in my thoughts.
As everyone says, Bali is truly the island of the Gods, and itŌĆÖs essence was indeed captured at Alila Villas Soori. Thank you for inviting me here and giving me this beautiful experience! I really do hope I have the opportunity to return once again in the future.
The Benefits of a Regular Yoga Practice
Yoga is a sneaky thing. It crept up on me without announcing itself and snuck its way into my body, my thoughts, and ultimately, my life.
I took my first yoga class while studying abroad in Australia, and since then yoga has been a part of each and every day since. Surprisingly, yoga helped me navigate through and heal from an eating disorder, process past traumas, create a fit body I feel healthy in, reduced my stress, cleared up my digestive system, and so much more.
Practicing yoga daily doesnŌĆÖt necessarily mean I attend a structured yoga class on a daily basis. Just like you, I have a busy life and sometimes donŌĆÖt choose to spare the two or so hours to drive to, set up for, and take a traditional class at a studio. However, I used to. It was like a ritual, and it served me deeply. I began to learn about my body, and the association between my body and my mind. In just one single yoga class, I could feel anger, frustration, lightness, resistance, humility, grace, sadness, bliss, and surrender. The lightness I experience after leaving a yoga class feels like walking on clouds. I didnŌĆÖt want the feeling to end. And it hasnŌĆÖt. The more you practice yoga, the more it will become a part of you. It will infuse your decisions around food, lifestyle, career, and relationships. Yoga off the mat serves as a ŌĆśpauseŌĆÖ button so I can respond in the moment out of present awareness as opposed to react out of habit.
The teachings of yoga and a dedicated practice for many years led me to deeply understand the signals my body is telling me. Our bodies are constantly sending us signals. ItŌĆÖs up to us to develop the awareness to listen and honor those important cues. For example, my diet completely shifted to a more organic, whole foods based diet as a result of yoga. It was a gradual process that came from within. It did not come from a dietician. It came from my bodyŌĆÖs own wisdom. I already knew what I needed to eat to nourish myself. Yoga reminded me.
The truth is, our bodies are constantly seeking balance. Applying a regular yoga practice serves as a gentle reminder to pay close attention to our cravings, our intuition, our desires, and our fears, so we can walk boldly and joyfully through the world.
In order to fully receive the therapeutic effects of a daily yoga practice, I encourage you to immerse yourself on a yoga retreat or an intensive yoga training. Retreats serve as mindfully structured events that allow you to ignite your bodyŌĆÖs inner wisdom and start new practices that you can take into your daily life. Also, retreats are usually held in very natural environments which are conducive to receiving yogaŌĆÖs full spectrum of healing benefits. Retreats typically offer yogic foods, meditation, and other spiritual practices that restore, nourish, and activate the wholeness and peace that resides within each of us.
I am guiding a special, one of a kind yoga retreat in Bali, Indonesia at Alila Villas Soori this March. I chose to create an unforgettable experience in a luxury, comfortable, spiritual environment. We will enjoy local foods, meditation and yoga practices, and self-care in order to unwind, re-set, and create more balance and wellness form the inside out. I hope you can join me on this magical adventure to a very sacred place.

I think the best way to know what he is thinking and why he
is acting funny is to have a talk with him. You should approach him and ask to
speak in private. Maintain a cool and calm tone during this conversation. You
don't want him to feel like you are trying to start a fight.
Begin by pointing out that you have noticed he has been
distant towards you and be prepared to give him example of when he has done
this because he will likely ask. Let him
know how you felt those when he was acting this distant way and why his
distance is becoming a concern for you. Remind him that you care about him and
just want for the two of you to be the best couple that you could possibly be.

The Indisposable Concept is a photography project based out of Australia, in which people use disposable cameras to take pictures of what they consider "indisposable." Basically, they want you to document the world around you via the lens of a disposable camera. Afterward, you're supposed to send the pictures to them, either by email or by mailing in the camera itself. They then post the pictures on their website and social media accounts.
It started in Australia, but has since garnered a worldwide following.
I have heard it said that libraries are going to become extinct with the advent of the Kindle and the Nook. On the surface, this could be accepted as fact. When you dig a little deeper, you will find surprising evidence to the contrary.
For those of you who have been following our staff articles, you already are aware that the LaRue County Public Library offers an abundance of services to its patrons.
I want to open up the topic of the Kentucky Virtual Library (KYVL) to you this week so that you are informed about this remarkable resource.
My daughter is a NICU (neonatal intensive-care unit) nurse who takes care of some of the tiniest, most fragile babies born in the state. She has never disclosed a name or even hinted at anything that would violate the privacy of her patients. But I can tell – by the few things she has said – it is a difficult job.
Most of her patients thrive and are able to go home. Some of the families do not get that happy ending. My daughter is sometimes called upon to care for the little ones after they have died.
Linda Ireland, editor of The LaRue County Herald News, was honored by the National Newspaper Association for her entry in the NNA's Better Newspaper Contest.
Ireland received honorable mention for a serious column, "Five years later, my friends help me remember," for daily and non-daily newspapers with circulation of 3,000-5,999.
She had the only winning entry from Kentucky.
The LaRue County Board of Education met Monday night and heard a number of reports on the school system's status.
Superintendent Sam Sanders spoke briefly about the school system's nutritional report card. The full report contains information about the nutrition and physical activity in each school.
Assistant Superintendent Amanda Reed presented a slideshow about the Personal Growth and Effectiveness System (PGES), a method by which teachers and principals are evaluated for effectiveness in their respective positions.
Several people were indicted by a Hart County grand jury.
Justin C. Caswell, 30, of Upton, was charged with criminal mischief, first degree, and complicity, theft by unlawful taking or disposition (between $500 and $10,000), and complicity, and of being a persistent felony offender. He is charged with damaging the property of Jackson Logging and taking lumber, logs and diesel fuel.

There is no excuse for abortion a life is a life no matter the circumstances of conception! Whoever believes in abortion should look up a video of an aborted baby! I watched one and it made me lose sleep the doctor poked the baby after they removed it from the mothers womb that baby was still moving ! A life is a life and if you believe otherwise shame on you! Guess under your logic maybe your dad should have shot you on the wall then there would be one less ignorant dumbass in this world!
#26130 Feb 27, 2014
The Bible is not, I repeat NOT, a legitimate source for "science".
How many times to we need to remind you fascist tax evading pedophile enablers of that simple fact?!?
#26131 Feb 27, 2014
I think the most scientifically relevant part of the Bible is when Jesus told his disciples in Matthew that some within their lifetime would see the end of the world. This we know to be true because none of us exist, and the world ended 3000 years ago.
Also, nothing says "dealing with the consequences" of our actions like blaming an invisible evil devil monster from a fire world when we do something wrong, and then believing we are instantly free of consequence for any misdeeds because a water walking Jewish zombie loves us. You know. Accountability. Besides, the scientific fact that Buddhists kill all the time without conscience and are completely void of any morality shows us that only the Bible can teach us to be good people...right?
#26132 Feb 27, 2014
It's always funny watching a "morally superior" bible beater insult other people based on their beliefs.
Yep, they're walking right in Jesus's footsteps, all right...
#26133 Feb 27, 2014
It mentions in the Bible that people wore clothes, and we all wear clothes. See? Science. Don't tell me how the Bible ends though, because I want to find out for myself if Harry Potter and Han Solo can cast the Tardis into the fires of Mordor before the evil Captain Kirk and the Wizard of Oz launch their Terminator army at Willy Wonka.
#26134 Feb 27, 2014
Since none of us have anything to do with abortion being legal, why do you claim it's our logic? You should collect all your tears in a jar and mail them to the Supreme Court of the United States of America. So what have you personally done, other than to pat yourself on the back, to change the Supreme Court ruling on abortion? If abortion was made illegal, I suppose you guys could form a human chain at the borders to stop women from traveling to Canada and Mexico to have the procedure done anyway. Maybe if we preach abstinence and no birth control like the church has done for decades, that will fix the problem.

Hey I never said anything about the bible or Jesus just stated a life is a life! Wow your quick to pass off the blame on a "bible beater" though what's wrong does the fact that there is more than one belief make you nervous?

Oh I'm sorry I didn't know you were able to translate the bible so what does it say then ? Oh you can translate it...? Well might not want to call it a " mistranslated fairy tale"

Settle down there, ya nutty religious fanatic. We've all seen what you bloodthirsty cannibals like to do to people who disagree with your "God's will".
Just turn the other cheek, like that thar Jesus feller done did in the good book...
#26142 Feb 27, 2014
You are certainly correct. Just as it would be foolish to blame Obama for Benghazi, abortion still being legal, troops dying in a war Bush started...Unfortunately for your reality, if you look at the numbers, we have been slowly but steadily recovering from the economic crisis caused by GW, whether you don't like people putting blame where it belongs, or not.

What evidence is there that things in the bible happened. Also I am not citing science but its much more believable than the bible. There is nothing that is written in the bible that can be proven so I think its you who need to get their facts straight. I am very open minded and I think I am ok eternity wise but if your worried for my soul you can shoot off a prayer that is if you can keep from being self righteous long enough.

#26149 Feb 27, 2014
Imagine if a group of people constantly told you that if you don't follow the teachings of Kleppklip the invisible moon god, you would suffer forever. Now imagine if the followers of Kleppklip were trying to push their faith based and unproven beliefs in our government, public schools or scientific data. Even putting themselves over the many other faith based, unproven followers of other invisible gods. THAT'S how you seem to us.
#26150 Feb 27, 2014
Go ahead and look up Tyler Durden up and tell us if you personally think he is a reliable source.

This just in...Woody, the cowboy from the movie Toy Story just posted an article that proves that a gazillion jobs will be lost due to the funding of Obama's secret civilian army (remember that one) and FEMA Death Camps.
#26152 Feb 27, 2014
Did I happen to mention that you guys will desperately grasp at any bogus scandal you are provided with, in hopes that the American voters who elected Obama will feel even half as dumb as you do for voting for GW Bush twice? We don't.

Players/Officials: George Bailey
Matches: Australia v Sri Lanka at Melbourne
Series/Tournaments: Sri Lanka tour of Australia
Teams: Australia
George Bailey is one of the more amiable men in Australian cricket, and certainly one of the most straight-talking, but don't suggest to him that he will be leading a B-grade side into the first ODI against Sri Lanka on Friday. At Bailey's pre-match press conference on Thursday, he bristled noticeably when asked about the perception that without Michael Clarke, David Warner, Shane Watson, Matthew Wade and Michael Hussey this was a second-string side.
"It's still the Australian cricket team, isn't it?" Bailey said. "I'm sure Sri Lanka won't be taking it as the Australia B-team."
It is natural for a captain to defend his team, but there is no escaping the fact that this is one of the least experienced outfits Australia have ever fielded in a one-day international. There will be three debutants for the first time since Steve Waugh, Bruce Reid, Dave Gilbert and Simon Davis all played their first game together in January 1986. And those three debutants, Phillip Hughes, Aaron Finch and Usman Khawaja, will occupy the top three batting spots, the first time that has happened since the days of World Series Cricket, when Graeme Wood, Rick Darling and Graham Yallop did so in Antigua in 1978.
"Certainly all three have all earned their place - their domestic cricket record is outstanding," Bailey said. "A couple of Twenty20 games that Finchy has played [for Australia], he's played really well and was man of the match in one of those. Hughesy is obviously really at home in the Test side since he's been back there. They fully deserve it. Their domestic form has been really strong and they all have outstanding games for international cricket, Ussie and Hughesy in all forms."
In fact, it is their likely presence in Australia's Test squad to tour India that is one of the reasons Hughes and Khawaja are part of the ODI group, although both men have also enjoyed very productive Ryobi Cup campaigns this season. The selectors are keen to keep Khawaja and Hughes in the national setup and away from the Big Bash League in the lead-up to another important Test series, and that is just one of the selection factors.
For the same reason, men like Clarke, Warner and Wade are being rested ahead of heavy commitments, while longer-term planning for the 2015 World Cup meant the selectors felt there was little point playing the retiring Hussey. Whatever the case, the changes will provide opportunities for several players, including the debutants, Bailey, Glenn Maxwell and David Hussey, to impress the selectors and stake claims for inclusion on the Test tour of India.
"I think there are opportunities ... for a lot of guys in the side, the newer members of the side, to push for a claim on that Indian tour," Bailey said. "There is a lot of one-day cricket and some big Test tours coming up as well going forward and there are some holes that have been left in that Australian side ... There's no doubt there are opportunities to be grabbed.
"I'm not sure there'll be many blokes out there tomorrow thinking too much about the Indian tour. I think it's going to be challenging enough and enough on our plates trying to win this series let alone worry about that. It's a really simple equation for the batting group, and that's to score runs and be in good form for as long as you can to prove that you're a match-winner, to play spin well, and if you do all those things you'll certainly emerge."
Not only are there places up for grabs for this year's trips, but also the opportunity to become a regular in the one-day side. Michael Hussey's retirement will open up at least one full-time position, for which Finch might have the front-running as a short-form specialist, and although the World Cup is still two years away, the selectors are keen to blood some potential World Cup players now.
"There's a real air of excitement within the group," Bailey said. "There's no doubt the side's been picked with an eye on the World Cup in 2015 and hopefully by that stage, the guys that make it there, if they are the debutants now, have 40 or 50 games under their belt and feel more and more comfortable.
"We want them to go out and bat and bowl exactly as they are and not feel as though they have to replace a Ricky Ponting or a Mike Hussey. The skills the guys have got are good enough. it's about them going out and feeling comfortable enough to express that and I think if we do, this side's certainly good enough to get this side off to a really good start to the series."

Mildred McDonald and Ascension School share a centennial
By Rosie Powers
It's not often that 400 children gather around your porch to sing "Happy Birthday."
Then again, it's not often that you turn 100.
Students from Ascension Catholic School, along with two Oak Park Fire Department trucks, assembled outside of Mildred McDonald's home Feb. 8 to honor her 100th birthday. After singing to her, many of the students gave her hugs and pink flowers as she sat on her front porch.
"Mildred is part of the community that defines Ascension," said Principal Mary Jo Burns. "Her focus has always been on the children, their education and formation."
McDonald, whose children attended Ascension, has stayed involved with the school for the past 30 years. She was asked to become a volunteer preschool assistant in the early 1980s, a role that Burns said she filled for many years. "She started working at Ascension when my daughter, Kelly, began kindergarten," said Mildred's son, John McDonald. "She's always been associated with Ascension School, helping out where she could." Burns said McDonald has supported Ascension students even with small acts, such as sending religious gifts to the school's second grade students during their First Communion and donating to the school's annual Lenten mission programs. "Every Halloween she'd make popcorn treats for the whole school," said Mary Ann McDonald, Mildred's daughter-in-law.
The school held a large celebration for McDonald's 90th birthday as well. It's a natural since Mildred and Ascension are the same age.
"She is a shareholder in our work to bring children up in the faith, to welcome them into the parish community, to form them as good citizens and to teach them to do good," Burns said.

'Official Teaser Trailer' for 24th James Bond Movie Stirs Internet: Video Featuring Daniel Craig as 007 is a Hoax? - Details
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By jaskiran kaur | March 25, 2014 6:24 PM EST
James Bond fans rejoiced when they got a glimpse into 007's 24th movie through a rather early teaser trailer that emerged on internet on Thursday, March 20, 2014 via video sharing Web site YouTube. The 30 seconds teaser trailer supposedly revealed the name of the next James Bond movie along with its release date. It also gave a glimpse into the storyline of the much-awaited movie. Turns out it was just a hoax video that claimed to be "official teaser trailer" of James Bond's next silver screen venture. Read on to find out more details.
Ardent fans of James Bond movies definitely got fooled by the hoax trailer video that surfaced on the internet. The trailer fallaciously revealed the title of 24th James Bond movie to be "Come and Dive." Rather convincing hoax trailer spread like a wildfire on the Internet after being launched on YouTube. According to the Guardian, several media outlets also received what now appears to be a fake press release. It falsely claimed to be from Sony Pictures. The press release stated names of the producers and links to fake teaser featuring James Bond played by Daniel Craig and an actress whose face could not be seen in the video.
The press release also revealed the fake synopsis of the 24th James Bond movie. Synopsis in the false press release read: "In Come and Dive, Bond will be swept away by a dangerous love story. As MI6 rises from its ashes, 007 must protect a mysterious stranger and unveil long forgotten secrets." (Quoted by The Guardian.)
The video opens with a woman standing in the graveyard followed by a close up short of Daniel Craig. October 2015 is the falsely revealed release date of the movie shown at the end of the video.
However, some of the Web sites which received the fake press release were quick to spot that it was just a hoax video. Total Film figured the truth behind the video. The Web site noted the shot has been created using James Bond's 2012 London Olympics video featuring Daniel Craig as 007. Meanwhile, LA Times pointed at the "vague" log line which is created using some "daring-sounding adjectives."
Moreover, The Week noted that James Bond's 24th movie will only begin filming later this year. The Web site then inferred that if this teaser trailer was to be believed then it would mean "Sony made this bizarre teaser months before a single frame of actual footage had been shot." Also the hoax video directed fans to visit official 007 Web site which reportedly "says absolutely nothing about "Come and Dive." In the meantime, the video that was posted by an account that read "sony-media" has been taken down from YouTube, but it can still be viewed HERE.
The real 24th James Bond movie will feature Daniel Craig as the MI6 agent and it will hit the theatres in autumn 2015.

I've got an Android app, which my client requests to package as an SDK. The SDK should be called with something like SDK.open({parameters}), will open a new activity and will allow to close itself.
Needless to say that the SDK should be compiled and have only it's interface open for the public.
P.S - the project uses NDK as well, if has any influence.
I have no idea where to start - help would be appreciated :)
EDIT: The real need is to take an existing activity, with all it's assets, 'res' folder, NDK code and more - and package into 'something' that can be incorporated into any other app and called upon need. When needed, it should be able to close itself and return to the original app that called it, releasing all it's memory.

NEC Display Solutions of America, a leading provider of commercial LCD displays and projector solutions, announced today that its partnership with Cinedigm has yielded the digital cinema conversion of more than 2,000 exhibitor screens using NEC digital cinema projectors.
NEC offers a complete line of digital cinema projectors, including the NC1200C, NC2000C, NC3200S and NC3240S models. NEC digital cinema projectors are Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI) compliant and High Frame Rate upgradable, which allow exhibitors to capitalize on current and future growth opportunities. These projectors can be centrally managed, freeing up on-site theater personnel for more strategic activities.
Cinedigm (NASDAQ: CIDM), the global leader in digital cinema conversion programs, is responsible for structuring and implementing the underlying VPF (virtual print fee) agreement that enables the conversion to digital cinema, as well as providing the entire administration responsibility of the VPF program.
"Our strong partnership with Cinedigm is groundbreaking and has guided the steady transformation of an entire industry to digital," said Pierre Richer, President and COO of NEC Display Solutions. "We're grateful to the many exhibitors who have entrusted us with enriching the experiences of their patrons."
NEC Display Solutions and Cinedigm have partnered to provide financing for exhibitors to complete the digital cinema conversion. Besides NEC Display's commitment to fund the transition, fellow subsidiary NEC Financial Services has invested in the Cinedigm funding program - in addition to its own financing programs. Currently, those exhibitors who have chosen NEC projectors as part of their system conversions represent more than $80-million of the overall capacity of the Cinedigm Phase 2 deployment.
Such exhibitors include:
"We are pleased that through our work with NEC, we have found a solution that assists so many exhibitors in their conversions to digital, allowing them to take advantage of the new theater experience digital cinema enables," said Gary Loffredo, President of Digital Cinema and General Counsel at Cinedigm.
NEC Display Solutions (Booth No. 2717) and Cinedigm (Booth No. 2116) will exhibit at CinemaCon, the largest annual gathering of cinema owners and operators around the world, from April 24-26 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nev.
For more information about NEC's digital cinema projectors and financing options with NEC Financial Services, please visit http://www.necdisplay.com/GoDigital or contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

I'm 24 today! Although it may just be "another year" for many, I have made some huge changes in the past year, with the biggest one being my recent move to San Francisco. I'm excited to see what the next year has in store for me, with my career, Panache Offblast, and any new adventures along the way. I'll keep it short and sweet today with an oh-so-lust-worthy wishlist!
Nasty Gal has launched two vintage designer collections so far, Moschino and Chanel, and of course I'm in love with both!
I'm not sure what I'm up to for the rest of my birthday today (aside from dinner and dessert of course), but I'm excited nonetheless! I think I'll always love celebrating birthdays - both mine and others - no matter the age. We can all be selfish for a day, right?!
