Cumbria man is focused on new direction
Last updated at 12:49, Tuesday, 19 February 2013
HIGH quality promotional films can help boost business, according to a Cumbrian film maker.
David Brown, of Brown Films, is a documentary maker, lighting camera man and short film producer.
He started his career working with Carlisle-based firm TVL producing corporate videos, before taking the plunge into freelance camera work in 1996.
Mr Brown has since worked across almost every avenue in broadcasting, from Hollyoaks and Brookside to sitcoms and documentaries for the likes of Discovery Channel and National Geographic.
Along with his film-making experience he is now looking to turn his expertise towards Cumbrian businesses to help produce high-quality, affordable films to show off the best of their business.
Despite not having a business background Mr Brown has received expert advice from Britain's Energy Coast's Backing Business campaign.
The 47-year-old said: "In conjunction with my broadcast work I want to develop a business closer to home, I want to provide web promos, ads and training films.
"These would be bespoke films at affordable prices at a very high standard.
"I believe advertising is all about presentation, image and quality.
"If a company wants to promote their business, whether it be itself, a skill or a specific product, a bespoke film showing off its qualities with supporting voiceover and text will have a much higher impact which will lead to better sales."
The campaign has coached Mr Brown through the best ways to market his business, as well as helping him to identify achievable aims.
The scheme provides support with everything from a business plan to web design and marketing.
He added: "Having contacted them (Britain's Energy Coast Backing Business scheme), they very quickly arranged a visit for me with a business consultant Andy Barnard, who has been very positive from the outset.
"He came to my premises and we had an in-depth chat about my career and what I could offer to the local business community.
"Andy helped with my business proposal and what my approach should be, he helped with marketing ideas and marketing tools and any possible grants that may be available he helped with my cash flow projections and helped in pinpointing sales, in essence the business end of a creative business.
"It is a lot of common sense but it is helpful to have your thoughts reaffirmed and have different ideas put forward, and by writing down objectives it gives you a concrete plan of action."

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's Warning to the West
By Editorial Staff
Published March 1, 1990
The Gulag Archipelago is so profound in its insight into the Soviet system of repression that it has caught the attention of politicians in the West. Much of the reform and revolution presently occurring in the Soviet Union has been foreseen by Solzhenitsyn. Considering the accuracy of Solzhenitsyn's predictions, Americans should take notice of his warning to the free democratic nations of the West.
Mine was, probably, the easiest imaginable kind of arrest. It did not tear me from the embrace of kith or kin, nor wrench me from a deeply cherished home life. One pallid European February it took me from our narrow salient on the Baltic Sea, where, depending on one's point of view, either we had surrounded the Germans or they had surrounded us, and it deprived me only of my familiar artillery battery and the scenes of the last three months of the war.
The brigade commander called me to his headquarters and asked me for my pistol. Two counterintelligence agents stepped forward and shouted theatrically: "You are under arrest!"
Burning and pricking from head to toe, all I could exclaim was: "Me? What for?"
And even though there is usually no answer to this question, surprisingly I received one! "You have … a friend on the First Ukrainian Front?"
I knew instantly I had been arrested because of my correspondence with a school friend.
"Resistance! Why didn't you resist?" Today those who have continued to live on comfort scold those who have suffered. Yes, resistance should have begun right there, at the moment of the arrest itself. But it did not begin.
During a daylight arrest there is always that moment when they are leading you through a crowd of hundreds of just such doomed innocents as yourself. You aren't gagged. You really can and you really ought to cry out – to cry out that you are being arrested. That villains in disguise are trapping people! That millions are being arrested on the strength of false denunciations!
Instead, not one sound comes from your parched lips, and the passing crowd naively believes that you and your executioners are friends out for a leisurely stroll. I myself often had a chance to cry out.
So why did I keep silent?
Every man has handy a dozen glib little reasons why he is right not to sacrifice himself. Some still have hopes of a favorable outcome to their case and are afraid to ruin their chances by an outcry.
As for me, I kept silent for one further reason: because those Muscovites thronging the steps of the escalators were too few for me, too few! Here my cry would be heard by 200 or twice 200, but what about the 200 million? Vaguely, unclearly, I had a vision that someday I would cry out to the 200 million.
The following is an excerpt from "Russia's Prophet in Exile", Time, July 24, 1989, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's first interview in 10 years.
From the age of nine, I knew I was going to be a writer, although I didn't know what I was going to write about. I was raised by my elders in Christianity, and almost through my school years, up to 17 or 18, I was in opposition to Soviet education. I had to conceal this from others. But this force field of Marxism, as developed in the Soviet Union, has such an impact that it gets into the brain of the young man and little by little takes over.
From age 17 or 18, I did change internally, and from that time, I became a Marxist, a Leninist, and believed in all these things. I lived that way up through the university and the war and up until prison, but in prison, I encountered a very broad variety of people. I saw that my convictions did not have a solid basis, could not stand up in dispute, and I had to renounce them.
Then the question arose of going back to what I had learned as a child. It took more than a year or so. Other believers influenced me, but basically it was a return to what I had thought before. The fact that I was dying also shook me profoundly. At age 34, I was told I could not be saved, and then I returned to life. These kinds of upheavals always have an impact on a person's convictions.
It is quite extraordinary the extent to which I have been lied about. It is remarkable, and it makes me ashamed of journalists. No one ever gives any quotes. The same is true for the charge that I am a nationalist. I am a patriot. I love my motherland. I want my country, which is sick, which for 70 years has been destroyed, and is on the very edge of death, I want it to come back to life. But this doesn't make me a nationalist. I don't want to limit anyone else. Every country has its own patriots who are concerned with its fate.
In Western civilizations – which used to be called Western-Christian but now might better be called Western-Pagan – along with the development of intellectual life and science, there has been a loss of the serious moral basis of society. During these 300 years of Western civilization, there has been a sweeping away of duties and expansion of rights. But we have two lungs. You can't breathe with just one lung and not the other. We must avail ourselves of rights and duties in equal measure. And if this is not established by the law, if the law does not oblige us to do that, then we have to control ourselves.
When Western society was established, it was based on the idea that each individual limited his own behavior. Everyone understood what he could do and could not do. The law itself did not restrain people. Since then, the only thing we have been developing is rights, rights, rights, at the expense of duty.

The Real Jesus: A Defense of the Historicity and Divinity of Christ (DVD)
Who is the Real Jesus?
Ever since the dawn of modern rationalism, skeptics have sought to use textual criticism, archeology and historical reconstructions to uncover the "historical Jesus" — a wise teacher who said many wonderful things, but fulfilled no prophecies, performed no miracles and certainly did not rise from the dead in triumph over sin.
Over the past 100 years, however, startling discoveries in biblical archeology and scholarship have all but vanquished the faulty assumptions of these doubting modernists. Regrettably, these discoveries have often been ignored by the skeptics as well as by the popular media. As a result, the liberal view still holds sway in universities and impacts the culture and even much of the church.
The Real Jesus explodes the myths of these critics and the movies, books and television programs that have popularized their views. Presented in ten parts — perfect for individual, family and classroom study — viewers will be challenged to go deeper in their knowledge of Christ in order to be able to defend their faith and present the truth to a skeptical modern world – that the Jesus of the Gospels is the Jesus of history — "the same yesterday, today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8). He is the real Jesus.
Speakers include: George Grant, Ted Baehr, Stephen Mansfield, Raymond Ortlund, Phil Kayser, David Lutzweiler, Jay Grimstead, J.P. Holding, and Eric Holmberg.
Ten parts, over two hours of instruction!

Massacre of Innocence (DVD)
Exposing The Occult Roots of Abortion
This presentation looks at the spiritual roots of abortion and exposes the myths surrounding child killing. Little known historical facts about abortion and how they relate to modern feminism are presented logically and accurately. Has been effective in converting many to a pro-life position.
Massacre of Innocence goes where no pro-life presentation has gone before in "tearing the lid off abortion" to reveal the spiritual realities we must battle if we will bring an end to this crime. The presentation is absorbing, fast-paced, informative and incredibly devastating to any attempt to justify abortion.
"… an extraordinary statement … a powerfully articulate presentation about what abortion really means, and why a great and moral nation like the United States must not allow the slaughter to continue."
— Congressman Robert K. Dornan

Freedom: The Model of Christian Liberty (DVD)
"Give me liberty or give me death!"
Patrick Henry's famous declaration not only helped launch the War for Independence, it also perfectly summarized the mindset that gave birth to, and sustained, the unprecedented experiment in Christian liberty that was America.
The freedom our Founders envisioned was not freedom from suffering, want, or hard work. Nor was it freedom to indulge every appetite or whim without restraint—that would merely be servitude to a different master. No, the Founders' passion was to live free before God, unfettered by the chains of autocracy, shackles that slowly but inexorably bind men when the governments they fashion fail to recognize and uphold freedom's singular, foundational truth: that all men are created in the image of God, and are thereby co-equally endowed with the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
This presentation is a similar call, not to one but many. By reintroducing the principles of freedom that gave birth to America, it is our prayer that Jesus, the true and only ruler over the nations, will once again be our acknowledged Sovereign, that we may again know and exult in the great truth that "where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is liberty" (2 Cor. 3:17).
Welcome to the Second American Revolution!
This DVD features "Liberty: The Model of Christian Liberty" along with "Dawn's Early Light: A Brief History of America's Christian Foundations." Bonus features include a humorous but instructive collection of campaign ads and Eric Holmberg's controversial YouTube challenge concerning Mitt Romney's campaign for president.

Developing dopaminergic reporter hESC lines by homologous recombination

Public Abstract:
The ability of cells to continue to divide in prolonged culture allows researchers an unprecedented opportunity to introduce genes into the genome and select clones with the appropriate genetic modification. The development of a variety of vectors and strategies has allowed perhaps the most dramatic examples of this in non-human stem cell populations – the use of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) to obtain truly remarkable modifications of the mouse genome. In principle, these various strategies could be adapted to human stem cells. The human stem cell field gained momentum when human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) were successfully isolated in 19981. hESCs present an unparalleled opportunity to fully benefit from the advantages of genetic manipulations in a controlled manner, in particular, gene targeting via homologous recombination. In theory, by developing techniques for gene targeting in hESCs, it is possible to analyze the function of any gene and to develop in vitro models for developmental studies or for the purification of cells of specific somatic lineages. However, the techniques that have been successfully used in targeting mESCs have met unexpected challenges when adapted to hESCs, and to date, only three genes have been targeted in hESCs. One major difficulty in targeting hESCs is the complex DNA constructions required for homologous recombination. We believe that elaborate targeting vector construction is a prerequisite for successful gene targeting in hESCs. To generate such targeting vectors rapidly, more efficient cloning techniques are required. For example, instead of the traditional strategy of restriction digestion and ligation, which is often laborious and ineffective for cloning large DNA fragments required for homologous recombination, ET cloning approach via homologous recombination allows for direct isolation of human genomic DNA from BACs or yeast artificial chromosomes, thereby eliminating the step of prior isolation of large DNA fragments. In this proposal, we will develop novel targeting vectors utilizing ET cloning directly from human BACs for homologous recombination in hESCs. In particular, we will develop a GFP knock-in approach to target key genes involved in dopaminergic differentiation for which we have a well-defined system for characterization. We plan to target three transcription factors that are essential for specification and maturation of dopaminergic neurons in mice.
Statement of Benefit to California:
The ability to target a specific gene in mouse embryonic stem cells via homologous recombination has revolutionized the study of mammalian gene function. Our proposed research will develop novel tool/technique for targeting human embryonic stem cells via homologous recombination. In particular, we will target genes that are know to play an important role in the development of dopaminergic neurons, neurons that are selectively and progressively degenerated in patients with Parkinson's disease. Such targeted cells will be very useful for studying the roles of these genes in dopaminergic differentiation of hESCs which may provide insights into pathology and treatment of Parkinson's disease as well as new therapy development. Therefore, the proposed research will also benefit California residents suffering from PD.

Getty ImagesAbner Mares and Nonito Donaire would prefer fighting each other to the matchups in front of them.
Junior featherweight titlist Abner Mares has a tough assignment against bantamweight titleholder Anselmo Moreno at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Saturday night (Showtime, 10 ET/PT).
Moreno (33-1-1, 12 KOs) is a very skilled and slick southpaw who has not lost since dropping a four-round split decision in 2002. While Mares-Moreno is a high-class match, it is simply not the one most fight fans want to see, but it is the fight their promoter, Golden Boy, could deliver.
Nonito Donaire also holds a junior featherweight belt and was in Houston on Thursday for Top Rank's formal news conference to announce his Dec. 15 defense on HBO against Mexican warrior Jorge Arce, who has been in many great fights but is now past his prime and a big underdog. Donaire-Arce is simply not the fight most fans want to see, but it was the one Top Rank could deliver.
I think you know where I'm going with this: The fight most fans want to see is Donaire against Mares.
They were both bantamweight titleholders at the same time. And now they are titleholders and the top guys at junior featherweight. They both are superb fighters who make fan-friendly fights. A match between them would be one of the most significant and entertaining in the sport -- one HBO and Showtime would fall over each other to pay a lot of money to get.
Yet, it's not happening because of the silly, energy-sucking feud between Golden Boy and Top Rank, which has done nothing but damage the sport for years even if the bosses of the companies won't admit it.
There are a lot of fights they could make together that would be great, but Donaire-Mares is one of the very best. That is bad for the fans -- the people the promoters claim to care about -- and the fighters.
Frank Espinoza, who manages Mares, has told me that the one fight they really want is against Donaire. They took the Moreno fight because they had no other serious options and Espinoza feels as though they were forced into it.
Donaire would also love to fight Mares, but the match is not available to him. So while Donaire (30-1, 19 KOs) has had a busy year with fights against good opponents -- Wilfredo Vazquez Jr., Jeffrey Mathebula and Toshiaki Nishioka with Arce (61-6-2, 46 KOs) on deck -- none is remotely as significant as a showdown with Mares.
Mares (24-0-1, 13 KOs) also wants to fight Donaire.
"That's actually the fight I wanted before the Anselmo Moreno fight, but it didn't work out," Mares said.
When Mares said it didn't work out, he was being kind. Top Rank and Golden Boy won't even discuss the fight.
Instead, their chief executives, Golden Boy's Richard Schaefer and Top Rank's Bob Arum -- who despise each other -- instead spout off about how when the fighters' contracts with the other company expire they can sign with their company and the fight can be made.
Mares didn't want to get dragged into the fray, but it's clear that he's frustrated, as he should be. Not getting a fight with Donaire means a lot of money and glory neither guy will ever make up.
"I got this fight [against Moreno], which is also as tough and as great for the fans," Mares said. "All I can say, Nonito, he's a great fighter. He's really, really explosive -- a really great fighter. His last performance against Nishioka, I mean the fight was a little bit, you could say, boring at the beginning. But being that Nishioka wasn't throwing that much, he wasn't giving that much, but Nonito found a way and took his time, and got that knockout. He looked good.
"If I were to fight him, obviously I'd fight him different and it would be a great fight. I know and I've seen that people want that fight. They've been asking for that fight and they know that I could give them a hell of a fight and definitely beat him as well. But again, that's in the future, first things first."
Mares said he thought that he would get to fight Donaire after beating Eric Morel in April. Maybe he thought that, but everyone else knew it wasn't going to happen no matter how the promoters and TV execs want to spin it.
"I thought that was going to be my next fight after the Morel fight, but obviously, for some reason the fight didn't happen. It didn't get made," Mares said. "Without a doubt, I'll take, hands down, the Nonito fight. All I have to say is this fight [with Moreno] is done already, I'm fighting Moreno and [then] keep going. This is a tough fight and, God willing, I win this fight I hope [and] I really hope that we get the Nonito fight after."
So do we all. But the childish, industry-damaging behavior of Golden Boy and Top Rank is going to have to stop first.
Don't hold your breath.

In every library, there are books of timeless utility, interest, and cultural importance. There are also books on current topics and areas of scholarship that may or may not continue to be relevant over time. To make space for new books, it is necessary for the library to periodically withdraw older books that no longer serve the needs of library users.

In 2006, Anthony Recendez was unemployed, playing in a band, and living in California's Central Valley.
"There was no creative around me," he said of the farm town he called home. "I was trying to move to L.A. I wanted to be around music and videos."
Then he discovered lynda.com.
"I changed my online resumé from a static HTML to a dynamic WordPress layout, all with the help of lynda.com. And within a few weeks I was working with Disney on contract."
In fact, he's been living in Los Angeles and happily working in the entertainment industry for eight years now.
"lynda.com is the reason I'm in L.A.," he says.

It's a fact. New year's resolutions fall into two categories: want to and have to.
We want to do fun things like create stuff, tackle projects, pursue our interests, and master new toys. But we have to make time for the basics—like exercise.
The clever lynda.com fans you're about to meet have all found a way to combine those two things: to check off the unavoidable have to of exercise while indulging in the gratifying want to of learning.
And some of them have even lost weight doing it.

At a time of year when many of us are filling our homes and our bellies with an abundance of delicious treats, Jules Rugwiro is fighting hunger in Rwanda.
Jules is a database manager with the UN's World Food Programme (WFP), the largest humanitarian agency that addresses hunger.
"The work that we do includes providing food and/or cash for refugees, responding to emergencies, feeding school children, and connecting farmers to markets," says Jules, a Rwandan who lives and works in Kigali, the nation's capitol. "I collect information on whether food is available and accessible, and how it's utilized by people in different parts of the country. Once we have this information, we identify who the vulnerable people are (i.e. those who are 'food insecure'), where they live, how insecure they are, and why they are insecure. WFP bases its interventions on these results.
"If my job is not done properly, the most vulnerable people would not be identified and thus not assisted."
How does he make sure his job is done properly?
"I learned most of my programming and database management skills through self-study and the material available on lynda.com," says Jules, who studied information technology in school.

Clare Childs was a successful video editor on high-profile TV shows: "Wife Swap," "The X Factor," and "The Secret Millionaire."
"I was at the top of my game," she says. "And then I had children—which is a real game-changer."
No longer willing to work 50+ hours a week in an editing bay, she needed a family-friendly way to keep her mind active and generate income. She found it with lynda.com.
"I learned how to build websites," she says. "Completely."
Now she's a stay-at-home mom who spends evenings building WordPress sites for clients, and days cavorting with her kids.
"I am one happy lady," she says.

And she credits lynda.com with helping her do it.

Bundy Hill is a private off road park located near Jackson, MI - their website is normally www.bundyhilloffroad.com but the site is currently having some trouble. There isn't much else in SE Michigan. The Mounds is near Flint, and Rocks and Valleys is near Harrison, but there are no public lands to ride until you get north of Gladwin.
There are some seasonal roads around the Farewell, Harrison, Clare area. The trails out by Lake George are pretty good, lots of mud and water holes and lots of fun.

Chinese General Says U.S. Provocation Risks Economic Response
Aug. 10 (Bloomberg) -- A Chinese general said U.S. plans to send a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to the Yellow Sea may lead to retaliation from China, the biggest foreign holder of Treasuries.
"Imagine what the consequence will be if China's biggest debtor nation challenges its creditor nation," Major General Luo Yuan, deputy secretary general of the People's Liberation Army Academy of Military Sciences, wrote in an editorial today in the state-controlled English-language Global Times.
Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell told reporters Aug. 5 in Washington that there will be joint drills with South Korea over the "next several months" in the Yellow Sea, the water between the Korean peninsula and China's coast. The drills are aimed at deterring North Korea from further provocations after the communist country was accused of sinking the South Korean warship Cheonan in March.
Luo said the U.S. is trying to "threaten the Chinese people and test China's bottom line with this maneuver," adding that deployment of the carrier to the area will damage U.S.-China ties.
Luo's remarks go beyond China's official response to the planned naval exercises. On Aug. 6 Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Jiang Yu said in a statement that China has "already expressed our clear and unwavering position on the South Korean-U.S. military exercises in the Yellow Sea on many occasions."
"We urge the relevant parties' to treat China's concerns and positions seriously," Jiang said. On July 21 the ministry said in a statement that China was ''firmly opposed'' to any threatening military activities in waters off its shores.
China held $867.7 billion in U.S. Treasury securities as of May 31, according to Treasury data. Major General Luo, whose rank is the lowest of three levels for generals in the PLA, has previously urged economic measures against the U.S. In February, Luo, writing in the official Outlook Weekly, said China should consider dumping some Treasury bonds following the U.S. announcement of an arms sale to Taiwan, Reuters reported at the time.

Hot romance/Sci Fi we're so lucky to have Audible to feed our book addictions. I love walking my precious dog Sydney & listening to my books
"Forbidden Pleasure"
Yuck, thought there would be more of a story than there was Did not finish this horrible book. Waste of a credit
book diva
"um ya"
it was way to much sex, i didn't know it was like that! I'm not mad but caught off guard with it that's all.
um no i wouldn't its something i wouldn't listen to. But i bought it and i had it for a long time so i went ahead and listened to it.
not sure
it was a love story if you can get past the smut! a pretty good one!
"So bad I can't even finish the story"
Ok, so I know that when I get a trashy novel, I shouldn't expect to much. But this was so bad I couldn't finish it. I wanted to reach into my ipod and slap the female character. Is it to much to ask, to have a female lead, who isn't a wishy washy whiner? How about well developed and likeable? I realize most people listen to this kind of book for the sex scenes but the story around those scenes is so boring, I couldn't even hang in there for the sex scenes. Is it wrong to want good sex scenes and a well written story? Instead of a trashy novel, it should be called only trash.
Nothing by this author
I think the narrator was ok. But the editing was horrible.
Find another book. This one sucks
I love all genres of books. However, when I listen to audio books as I clean, garden, drive they are better with a lot of heat!
"Dark Suspenseful Threesome Love Story"
Former FBI Agent Mac McCoy gave up a lot to marry Keiley Hardin. Knowing that she wasn't ready to accept the sexual lifestyle that he reveled in, he willingly gave it up in order to have Keiley. All he's doing is waiting for the day that she embraces the need that he can so plainly see in her. Mac is content to be patient with Keiley, until her curiosity starts getting the better of her.
Keiley Hardin is just starting to realize that Mac has been holding a part of himself back from her. Though she desperately wants all of her husband, she is not sure if she can do what he so obviously needs from her. After living for years in the shadow of her parents mistakes, Keiley abhors gossip and does everything she can not to draw attention to herself.
Jethro Riggs has been waiting for three years for Mac's call to tell him that Keiley is ready. When it finally comes, Jethro wonders how he will hide the feels he has for Keiley from Mac. Although Jethro and Mac have shared many women, Jethro knows this is different because of how much Mac loves Keiley.
This was an unusual book for me. In previous m/f/m books that I've read (specifically Lora Leigh's), the men only share their women until they are married. As a married woman myself, I had a hard time understanding how Mac could want to share and how Keiley could be in love with two men at the same time. On the other hand, Keiley's struggle with exactly that came across loud and clear. When you throw in a little suspense from one of Mac's old cases and a harpy witch that wants to bring Keiley down, you have a good read. All in all, it was a good book though unusual.
"Forbidden Pleasure"
if it sounded real,
More Sandra Brown and/or Dick Hill narrorating romance books.
The whole book was stupid and corny and I kept skipping around for a better story plot.
The husband it was all pathetic.
Maybe. The overall story was weak and the Southern accents weren't good.
The Southern accents weren't good.
it's 50/50...
Make no mistake between my personality and my attitude. My personality is who I am, my attitude depends on who you are.........
"Double Yummy........."
Love Lora Leigh! Was a little drawn out in the beginning; however, picked up and was it HOT!!!! Goodness; I needed a cigarette reading this one.......LOL
"Good Story and a lot of HOT!!"
I really enjoyed this story. It is certainly not a for those who are prudish. The sex is graphic but well done. Once I started listening it was hard to stop listening. Unlike a few others reviewers I thought the story was good and the intense scenes were a part of the story. Although a situation like this would never happen in real life, what girl would not like the scenario, LOL!!

Google Billboard & Google Kiosk Coming?
Clickz columnist Ryan Naraine wrote up some of his thoughts about a Google patent application (Allocating advertising space in a network of displays) that would enable advertising upon electronic displays and billboards in shopping centers and other places, in his article Google Patent Filing Hints at Digital Billboard Ad Network.
While New Scientist wrote about the patent filing last week, and I had a writeup on it the day it was published, Ryan does a nice job of providing some context to how this electronic display network might work…
Ryan tells us that:
If the filing is a sign of things to come from Google, kiosk-type billboards, ATM machines and other digital displays in malls and hotel lobbies could start hawking products directly from a nearby retailer's inventory.
I think he may be right, and another patent filing from Google shows some signs of that. How far away might we be from Google Kiosk? The following images are from that earlier Google application published this last summer.
Above is one of a number of screenshots shown from a kiosk software that might displayed in shopping malls, resort areas, and other commercial districts, according to Generating and/or serving dynamic promotional offers such as coupons and advertisements. Another screen might show walking directions within a mall, such as the picture below.
Imagine getting directions, learning about items for sale, printing out coupons, and seeing how long the wait is at mall restaurants from a kiosk like this? I could see replacing mall "you are here" signs with kiosks providing this kind of information.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
McGillivray, Polo Park, St. Vital. 14A. 138 minutes.
Director David O. Russell follows up last year's unexpected hit Silver Linings Playbook with a movie deserving of any and all accolades, recycling two of that film's stars -- Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence -- paired with Christian Bale and Amy Adams of The Fighter. Russell's take on the Abscam affair offers riches of deception and danger with terrific performances by Cooper and Lawrence as genuinely horrible people. 'Ö'Ö'Ö'Ö
Polo Park, St. Vital. 14A. 119 minutes.
The sequel to the 2004 comedy hit sees arrogant meat puppet Ron Burgundy heading for New York City to man a new-fangled 24-hour cable news network where his brand of stupid, narcissistic self-indulgence catches on. Scenes of inspired stoner humour abound, but at the same time this is a pretty scathing satiric commentary on contemporary news organizations. 'Ö'Ö'Ö 1/2
Grant Park, McGillivray VIP, Polo Park. 14A. 121 minutes.
In the grand tradition of Tennessee Williams and Eugene O'Neill, playwright Tracy Letts introduces another dysfunctional American family in the Westons. Fire-breathing matriarch Violet (Meryl Streep) holds savage court when her three daughters (Julia Roberts, Juliette Lewis and Julianne Nicolson) show up to comfort their newly widowed, cancer-afflicted mom. Trimmed from its three-hour-and-20-minute stage incarnation, the downbeat drama retains its cathartic humour, but two hours of shrill tantrums and plate-smashing hysterics are overpowering. 'Ö'Ö'Ö (Reviewed by Kevin Prokosh)
Kildonan Place, McGillivray, Polo Park, Towne. 14A. 89 minutes.
This found-footage variant of Rosemary's Baby follows a newlywed couple that finds themselves pregnant after a "lost night" during their honeymoon. As the pregnancy causes sinister changes in his wife's character, hubby suspects a demonic cult is observing, awaiting their bundle of joy/doom. It's always dangerous when a cheap found footage-type thriller invites comparison to a classic as it tends to highlight its own inadequacies such as mediocre performances, lackadaisical character development and tired genre tropes. 'Ö 1/2
Grant Park, Kildonan Place, McGillivray, Polo Park, St. Vital, Towne. G. 102 minutes.
A young princess (voiced by Kristen Bell) must rise to the occasion when her sorceress sister (Idina Menzel) accidentally puts their kingdom in a deep freeze in this Disney animated musical. The songs are more poppy than the enduring Broadway-like songbooks of Disney musicals past, a weakness compensated for by animation that is particularly gorgeous. 'Ö'Ö'Ö
Globe. PG. 104 minutes.
A young woman with a developmental disability attempts to assert her right to love in Quebec's unsuccessful entrant to the best foreign language film Oscar. Director Louise Archambault's film sets up the problems facing the developmentally disabled, especially regarding sexuality, but doesn't really resolve anything. But the movie offers a heartening central performance by Gabrielle Marion-Rivard, a non-professional actress who could probably teach some professional actors a thing or two about spontaneity. 'Ö'Ö'Ö
Towne. PG. 91 minutes.
Sandra Bullock and George Clooney play a couple of astronauts facing a crisis in outer space when their space shuttle is destroyed by exploded satellite debris and they find themselves marooned and alone 600 kilometres above Earth. Director Alfonso Cuaron constructs a sometimes awesome dramatic thriller that flows together so seamlessly, it seems like it wasn't even edited. When it comes to Hollywood narrative, it may be a game-changer, and in that capacity, it deserved a more interesting protagonist. 'Ö'Ö'Ö'Ö
Grant Park, Polo Park. 14A. 126 minutes.
Director-writer Spike Jonze has a different idea about what will happen when computers and robots develop consciousness. In this languidly enjoyable romantic drama, a lonely Joaquin Phoenix falls head-over-keyboard in love with his computer's empathetic operating system, featuring Scarlett Johansson as its Siri-with-sex-appeal voice. 'Ö'Ö'Ö'Ö (Reviewed by Cary Darling)
Kildonan Place, Polo Park, St. Vital. 14A. 162 minutes.
In this second instalment of Peter Jackson's latest J.R.R. Tolkien adaptation, Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) attempts to aid a band of plucky dwarves in reclaiming their kingdom from the titular dragon. It dispenses with much of the painstaking geek exposition of the first film and brings on the action with help from a couple of ass-kicking elves (Evangeline Lilly and Orlando Bloom), but still hews too close to Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy in plot, theme and execution. 'Ö'Ö'Ö 1/2
Polo Park. PG. 146 minutes.
Teen tribute Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) inspires rebellion in the future dystopia of Panem, compelling the evil President Snow (Donald Sutherland) to force her to compete in a rigged 75th edition of the battle-to-the-death. "Hunger" notwithstanding, this is an overflowing cornucopia of cinematic stuff: Romance, action, social commentary, nature gone mad, mystery, intrigue and even fashion. And yet, as in the first one, there is the feeling of something lacking. 'Ö'Ö 1/2
Kildonan Place, McGillivray, Polo Park Imax, St. Vital, Towne. PG. 93 minutes.
In a dystopian world where demons and gargoyles battle for supremacy, Victor Frankenstein's creation Adam (Aaron Eckhart) finds himself caught in the middle, holding as he does, the secret of immortality.
Globe. 14A. 105 minutes.
Co-directors Joel and Ethan Coen offer a bitter love letter to the early '60s folk scene of Greenwich Village with this portrait of a talented but unlucky troubadour (Oscar Isaac) facing a series of disasters on his dubious path to stardom. The musical magic of O Brother Where Art Thou? meets the low-key calamity of A Serious Man and births a darkly comic fable on elusive fame. 'Ö'Ö'Ö 1/2
Grant Park, McGillivray, McGillivray VIP, Polo Park Imax, St. Vital, Towne. PG. 106 minutes.
Tom Clancy's canny CIA hero is rebooted for a second time with Chris Pine taking on the role of a newly minted CIA recruit who uncovers a Russian plot to destroy the American economy. The first of the Ryan films not based on a Clancy novel, Shadow Recruit offers a more holistic reboot and turns out to be a wholly satisfactory, handsomely mounted affair, especially compared to the franchise fumble The Sum of All Fears. 'Ö'Ö'Ö 1/2
Grant Park, McGillivray, Polo Park, St. Vital. 14A. 122 minutes.
Four members of SEAL Team 10 find themselves outmanned and outgunned in the mountains of Afghanistan while on a mission to terminate a Taliban leader in this intense, fact-based war movie from director Peter Berg and starring Mark Wahlberg and Taylor Kitsch. Befitting the American military experience in Afghanistan, it is a pretty chilling depiction of the horrors of combat in which even fighting men as exalted as SEALs can find themselves at a loss. 'Ö'Ö'Ö 1/2
Kildonan Place, McGillivray, Polo Park, St. Vital, Towne. G. 110 minutes.
When his cache of acorns is destroyed, a squirrel and his friends contrive a plan to live through the winter by invading a nut store. This is a surprisingly simple, funny and often cute slapstick comedy, better than any animated film released in the doldrums of January has a right to be. 'Ö'Ö'Ö (Reviewed by Roger Moore)
Kildonan Place, Polo Park, Towne. 14A. 84 minutes.
This spin-off of the Paranormal Activity franchise follows Jesse (Andrew Jacobs) a young man whose investigation into a black magic-related death leads to his own gradual possession despite the best efforts of his friends to stop the process. 'Ö'Ö'Ö
Grant Park. 14A. 98 minutes.
A political journalist (Steve Coogan) gets emotionally involved when he helps an older woman (Dame Judi Dench) search for the son she forcibly gave up for adoption decades earlier. Philomena is a standard issue little-old-lady tour de force for Oscar winner Dench, but it's a delicious change of pace for snarky funnyman Coogan. 'Ö'Ö'Ö'Ö (Reviewed by Roger Moore)
McGillivray, Polo Park, Towne. 14A. 100 minutes
Kevin Hart stars as a security guard who accepts the challenge when the cop brother (Ice Cube) of his intended bride invites him to accompany him on a 24-hour patrol of Atlanta. Even by the standards of the well-worn buddy-cop genre, this is a lazy movie, insulting the audience by letting us stay five steps ahead of the hack screenwriters. 'Ö'Ö (Reviewed by Roger Moore)
Grant Park, McGillivray. PG. 126 minutes.
Tom Hanks brings his considerable charm to the task reviving Walt Disney in this more-or-less factual account of how Disney sought the rights to Mary Poppins from reluctant Australian-born novelist P.L. Travers, played by an especially prickly Emma Thompson. As long as it's viewed as the burnishing of a Hollywood legend, as opposed to a factual treatment, this is an entertaining glimpse into a creative process, more medicinally-astringent than sugar-sweet. 'Ö'Ö'Ö
Grant Park, Polo Park. 14A. 134 minutes.
Director Steve McQueen adapted a harrowing memoir by Solomon Northup (here played by Chiwetel Ejiofor), a free black man in upstate New York, abducted and sold into slavery. The beauty of this movie is in how we identify with Northup and come to understand the awful effects his loss of liberty had not just on him, but on the moral relativists and outright sadists who ran the machinery of slavery. 'Ö'Ö'Ö'Ö'Ö (Reviewed by Roger Moore)
Grant Park, Kildonan Place, McGillivray VIP, Polo Park, St. Vital, Towne. 18A. 180 minutes.
Martin Scorsese draws a bold parallel between the underworld of Goodfellas and the supposedly straight world of high finance with this memoir of a depraved stockbroker (Leonardo DiCaprio). Instead of violent excess, the film goes with sexual excess, but it remains a concise macroscopic depiction of the over-arching greed that derailed the economy. 'Ö'Ö'Ö'Ö

Tastes vary.
My own tastes run to Romantic fiction, as Ayn Rand defined it: a vision of life as it might be and ought to be. She and I don't entirely agree on what constitutes "ought to be," but the definition is sound.
Lovecraft did horror well -- but I'm not much interested in being horrified. Asimov did science and alternate reality well -- but he had no moral center, and his characters suffered for it. After awhile, he bored me. Ellison isn't exactly a contemporary of Heinlein, so I've left him out of my discussion here. He's a powerful and passionate writer and I've admired his work, but somewhere along the line I stopped enjoying it because his visions are all dystopian. Books I really love are on this list.
