Check out Entertainment Weekly's cover issue for July 4 2014. It features Mad Max: Fury Road's cast Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy. You can also check out some of the stills from the film. The movie will be out on May 15, 2015. Here's the official synopsis of the movie:
MAD MAX: FURY ROAD is the fourth film of George Miller's Road Warrior/Mad Max franchise co-written and directed by Miller. The post-apocalyptic action film is set in the furthest reaches of our planet, in a stark desert landscape where humanity is broken, and most everyone is crazed fighting for the necessities of life.
I've added premiere images of Charlize from her movie, A Million Ways to Die in the West. I'll be adding more event photos of Charlize in the next few days! So keep checking out the site. Enjoy!
In a pre-Cannes move, Charlize Theron is in talks to star in independent movie "American Express," to be directed by actor-stuntman-helmer Nash Edgerton.
Theron is producing with Annapurna Pictures through her Denver & Delilah company. The logline is under wraps.
Annapurna will be selling rights at the Cannes Film Festival, which will also see the rebranding of Panorama Media as Annapurna International. Annapurna founder and principal Megan Ellison made the announcement along with international sales chief Kim Fox.
Annapurna is also handling international rights at Cannes to John Krasinski's "The Hollars," which stars Krasinski, Anna Kendrick, Richard Jenkins and Margo Martindale.
"With Annapurna Pictures, Megan has built a brand that is recognized for its involvement with quality projects and filmmakers," said Fox. "With the new title of Annapurna International, I am excited to expand that brand globally with our amazing team."
The move comes four months after Marc Butan exited Panorama Media and joined Sierra/Affinity as its co-president with Marc Schaberg. At that point, Panorama announced it would reduce its involvement in financing and production while continuing as the international sales agent on select projects from Annapurna Pictures as well as select third-party titles.

Q. Were you surprised, Charlize, at how easily you fit into the world of this film that Seth directed, co-wrote and co-starred in?
SETH MACFARLANE I think that's more due to Charlize's versatility. For me, as a relatively inexperienced actor, I could not have had a better partner, who found the Goldilocks zone for both of us.
CHARLIZE THERON Don't you ever call me Goldilocks again.
Charlize, are you a fan of Seth's style of humor?
THERON Yeah, I'm a huge "Family Guy" fan.
MACFARLANE God, who says that anymore?
Seth, which of Charlize's films suggested she was a great comic actress? "Monster"? "The Cider House Rules"?
THERON He was looking at "Reindeer Games," O.K.?
MACFARLANE All of my research came from "The Astronaut's Wife." It was the same process I used for "Ted": It was important that this be somebody who was able to bring a sincerity to the character, and the jokes carry themselves if you have that.
This is a period comedy set in the Wild West, and Charlize, you're a female gunslinger?
THERON She married into that world at a young age and got stuck in a life that really wasn't her own. Through circumstances, she finds herself outside of that life for a split second and gets to really see the potential of something different and better, and tries to go after that.
And Seth, your character is a coward who needs Charlize's help?
MACFARLANE That wasn't much of a stretch for me. I won't even get on the freeway without my navigator. There was a parallel between my personal experience on the movie, for my virgin effort at being on camera, and the story itself. As we went along, Charlize was the one person I could quietly turn to, and say, "Hey, did that seem good to you, or was it too James Brolin?" I don't know why I just said that. He's never done anything to me. Sorry, James Brolin, I think you're great.
Charlize, did you feel you were doing Seth a favor by shoring up his untested acting skills?
THERON God, no. When I read this [the script], I washed my hair and got ready for the meeting. And back then I didn't have any hair, but I still washed it.
MACFARLANE I said, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Diesel, I'm supposed to be meeting with Charlize Theron."
What did you learn about each other from this film?
MACFARLANE Third nipple?
THERON I'd gone through like a two-year period where I wasn't really enjoying making movies anymore. And this movie really just shook me and made me realize how much I love it. I owe a lot of that to Seth.
Even after he included you in his opening number at the Oscars?
THERON Don't talk [trash] about him, O.K.? [l

Charlize Theron's Denver and Delilah has optioned the best-selling Susannah Cahalan book Brain On Fire: My Month Of Madness, a memoir that follows a young woman's terrifying descent into insanity. Dakota Fanning is attached to star as Cahalan. Theron will produce with her D&D partners Beth Kono and AJ Dix.
brainThe company just wrapped Dark Places, an adaptation of the novel by Gone Girl author Gillian Flynn. Theron stars in that film, but Brain on Fire is an example of the production company bolstering its slate. Theron and Fanning have a connection: For many years, both were managed by the late J.J. Harris.
Fanning next will be seen in Cinedigm's Night Moves, and this fall she will be seen in The Last of Robin Hood and Franny. She is in production on Gerardo Naranjo's untitled 1980s-set punk rock pic.
Theron and Cahalan are repped by WME. Fanning is repped by CAA.

SEAN Penn is a good boyfriend!
The actor has apparently surprised girlfriend Charlize Theron's mom Gerda with a $50,000 piece of jewelry.
Sources say the actress's doting mother was delighted to receive a stunning three-carat diamond necklace.
The couple were shopping for watches in Beverly Hills when the blight caught Charlize's eye and she casually mentioned that her mother "would love it".
Two days later, sources say, Sean went back and bought the gift. What a guy!

Universal Pictures has acquired a pitch inspired by the Ellen Shanman novel Everything Nice that will be written by Karen Croner as a potential star vehicle for Charlize Theron. Theron will produce with her Denver And Delilah Films partners Beth Kono and A.J. Dix. They acquired the material themselves from the author's Anonymous Content rep Rosalie Swedlin and attached Croner to write before making the Universal deal. Croner scripted Admission, the Tina Fey-Paul Rudd comedy released last year by Universal. This marks the latest in a burgeoning relationship between Theron and Universal. Denver And Delilah is separately developing Agent 13 at Universal, and Theron stars in the upcoming Seth MacFarlane-directed A Million Ways To Die In The West.
The hope is for her to play Michaela, an advertising exec who gets fired and takes on the only job she can get, teaching life skills to teenage girls at a public school. Lacking in the basic social skills herself, she tries her best to school her pupils in what they'll need to know in order to survive. Theron's repped by WME, Croner by WME and attorney Alan Wertheimer.

Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho can't wait to take on Roma in the Coppa Italia quarter finals, labelling the clash a great spectacle.
Inter progressed to the quarter finals last night after disposing of Genoa 3-1 after extra time.
Mourinho told Sky Sport Italia: "I'm a happy man because we have reached the quarter-finals and we have an intriguing contest against Roma.
"It will be a great spectacle when we face Luciano Spalletti's team and everyone will enjoy watching it.
"I enjoy playing against Roma because they are a great team who play fantastic football. I hope we get a bigger crowd than we did for Genoa.
"Roma won the tournament last year, but we have already beaten them in the Super Cup and we could beat them in the Champions League this year."

The promise of personalized medicine has been predicated upon advances in genomics, proteomics and metabolomics, completion of the human genome map and development of "targeted" diagnostics and therapeutics. Genomic testing enables physicians to identify an individual's susceptibility to disease, predict how a given patient will respond to a particular drug, eliminate unnecessary treatments, reduce the incidence of adverse reactions to drugs, increase the efficacy of treatments and, ultimately, improve health outcomes.
"Medical science and technological advancement have converged with the growing emphasis on health, wellness and prevention sweeping the country to push personalized medicine to a tipping point," said David M. Levy, MD, global healthcare leader, PricewaterhouseCoopers. "We are now seeing a blurring of the lines between traditional healthcare offerings and consumer-oriented wellness products and services. The market potential is enormous for any company that learns to leverage the science, target individuals and develop products and services that promote health."
New Market Participants
Consumer demand for personalized care is creating new opportunities for market participants, for example:

Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, who had directed the cult romantic musical drama "Aashiqui" in 1990 and then produced its super hit sequel "Aashiqui 2" last year, says Hansal Mehta's "Citylights" is not only at par with his movies, but "far more relevant to today's India".
Bhatt is presenting "Citylights" in association with Fox Star Studios. The film traces the love story of a Rajasthani couple who come to Mumbai to earn a living but is soon struck by misfortune.
"'Citylights' is an emotional love story which is in no way lesser than 'Aashiqui'," Bhatt said here Wednesday during the promotion of the film.
"It is a love story of a rural Indian and it has a heart, which is far more poignant and far more relevant to today's India," he added.
Slated to release May 30, "Citylights" is an adaptation of British film "Metro Manila" and features actor Rajkummar Rao in the lead role.

The Blue-banded Kingfisher isn't the most colorful of his group, but certainly it is one of the most difficult to find and photograph!
When I was coming to this side of the world, I was looking at the book in the plane and right away got amazed with the colors and crazy looks of the kingfishers. When I saw the first one (Black-capped, in Indonesia) I fell in love!… Our KF in the American Continent are beautiful and the great Ringed it's majestic on its own right… but the red bills and iridescent game of colors of the family in this latitudes, has no match.
The Blue-banded Kingfisher isn't an exception, and even when it hasn't a gorgeous red beak, it is colorful and beautiful too. For me, how hard finding and photographing one actually is, makes it so unique and special, motivating me to really enjoy it the day I got lucky!
I heard of a nesting pair that was feeding a brood at Si Phangnga National Park, nearly a thousand kilometers south of Bangkok and immediately got my bio-photo-clock onwards!… My good friend Prin (from Superhide) showed a few frames up close of the parents with prey and without thinking much, I got a few things on the bag and left early morning, next day.
When I finally got there, all tired from the long driving hours, I was aiming for an early morning when Khun Sak delivered the terrible news: the chicks got out of the nest-hole that afternoon as some other photographers witnessed… OH NO!… all that work to just get there, all that hope to even see such a cool lifer… "It can't be" -I said to myself- "it can't be and I'm gonna try anyway!"… Khun Sak looked at me with a "feeling-sorry-for-you-face"… He told me that it wasn't all bad, as a pair of elusive and -also- hard to get Chestnut-napped Forktails were showing well as a consolation and in fact, it was the first time I ever got close to this birds…
But I wasn't gonna let it go that easy!… I set camp in front of the spot where everyone had got such cool images and prayed for the birds to remember the perch and return somehow with the juniors to their birth place.
It was not so long of a wait for me when I heard an adult nearby and with the adrenaline pumping hard, I knew I was doing right by believing and using all my birding years of experience to wait and hope for the unprovable!
The other birder that did this journey with me from Bangkok, loose the faith after a couple of morning hours and decided to go away and use the time better with the forktails, leaving me alone in the riverside, waiting. He was gone barely 10 minutes when a young -male- adult that I was expecting to see in the perch at the other side of the stream, flew and landed on a log so incredibly close to me, that I could only fit half of his body in my frame!
This time, the desperation to find a way of getting the whole bird in my pictures, overcame the adrenaline and after a few fantastic-sharp portraits, I decided it was worth the risk!… I was into my -superhide- tower blind (which you can use standing) and slowly backed up into the understory, sweating every tiny step like if there was no other. After 4 or five little but agonizing steps back (just imagine: pushing the blind with my head and shoulders, with the lens -set in the tripod- in one hand and with the chair in the other), I finally got the distance barely enough and wasn't going to push it a millimeter anymore!
I just couldn't -and still can't- believe all these blessings altogether in a moment… The odds for the bird showing, where pretty narrow already, but the bird staying and not leaving forever while I was moving back into the vegetation… well, I guess my birding-guardian-angel priced the big faith I used, in big fashion…
But that's not all!!!… Suddenly, the bird started calling and moving funny… then, mom -another young adult- and the youngest chick did actually turned up and perched at the other side of the stream, to complete the magical story of one of my coolest lifers' encounter ever!… Birding can be and should be… overwhelming!
On the way back to Bangkok, we stopped in Wanakorn to get some Bee-eaters and completed a perfect and productive -long driving- trip, but that's another story and you can actually find it following this link:

Moneybookers / Skrill is the Best in the World. Paypal only for US not for other country.
@Lipruva: Payoneer also offers a bank transfer solution for Envato members (instead of the Payoneer card). Depending on your country, you can receive either local transfers or SWIFT , and the cost would be between $5.95-$9.95 per transfer. If you can tell me which country you're in, I can give you exact numbers.
For currency conversion, it's up to 3% above the official market mid-rates. There is no card, so it's not based on MasterCard's conversion rates.

VF saidI am extremely happy with Paypal no restriction for me in India I have withdrawn $5000 as well I had no problem yes you need to withdraw it within 30 days if not auto withdrawal is done I have no limit you just need to connect it with your account and you are done
^ Paypal is nearly unusable in India too. According to their last year's announcement,
- We can't receive more than $500/month
- Each payment should be withdrawn within 30 days
- Payments received for export of goods or services can't be used for purchases (it is NOT bank account )
- Each withdrawal should be made with relevant purpose category mentioned.
Not sure if those restrictions exists still now but unless the above restrictions are withdrawn by them, paypal is not for professional income in India.Edit: Just checked and it is not 500 but $3000/month, that's fine.

Asserting that it has zero tolerance policy towards drug smuggling, Punjab government today blamed the Centre and other states for not taking adequate steps to check drug inflow, saying Punjab is being used as transit route for drugs.
Giving a reply on cases registered against drug smugglers during the Question Hour in state Assembly here, Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal said: "Punjab is not a producer of drugs. It is a victim of inefficiencies of other states and Centre as Punjab is a transit route of drugs." "Opium is not produced in Punjab. It comes from Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, while poppy husk comes from Rajasthan and Charas is produced in Himachal Pradesh," he said.
Congress MLA Rana Gurmit Singh Sodhi had sought reply from Punjab Deputy CM on July 18 on whether the state government will issue white paper regarding cases lodged against drug smugglers from January 1, 2014 and the number of police officials involved in drug smugglings with the details of departmental action taken against them so far.
Punjab Congress had even staged a walk out from the state Assembly on July 18 after Speaker granted extension to Badal for giving reply on issuing white paper pertaining to cases registered against drug smugglers.
Badal said Punjab was fighting the "nation's war against drugs" and had achieved "tremendous success" of snapping the supply lines and nabbing not just the drug kingpins but also their peddlers. While presenting a detailed report on the State's campaign against drugs, Badal said according to the reports of the Narcotic Control Bureau, Punjab Police alone had registered 16,821 cases under NDPS Act out of 26,658 cases across the nation, which amounted to 63 percent of all cases. He said the Punjab Police had also seized 417 kg out of the total of 1457 kg seized countrywide in 2013.
The Deputy CM said the government had moved effectively against smugglers by confiscating their properties. He said property worth Rs 66 crore had been seized. The Deputy Chief Minister said that Punjab has also launched a special drug-de addiction drive by engaging health department, NGOs and heads of religious organisations.
Referring to the drug de-addiction efforts being carried out by the state government, the Deputy CM said the DGP had also been directed to constitute divisional committees headed by the Zonal IGs to involve the Gram Panchayats in this drive.
He said five model drug de-addiction centres with a capital cost of Rs 5 crore having 50 beds capacity each had been planned out, of which two were fully functional. Badal said 21 government de-addiction centres at districts and sub divisional levels were already operational and 10 more de-addiction centres were under construction and would become functional very soon.
Badal also informed the House that recently the State Narcotics Control Bureau had been formed to eliminate drug menace.
Terming Goa as the hub of narcotics trafficking, Badal said it was ironical that only 55 cases were registered under NDPS Act in Goa while in Punjab 10,220 cases were registered, whereas Maharashtra registered 1,903, Rajasthan 1,115 and Tamil Nadu 1,402 out of the total 28,329 cases registered across the country as per the data provided by National Crime Record Bureau.
To deal with the medical psychotropic consumption of drugs, Badal said drug inspectors would be shifted to Police Department on deputation so that they could assist in operations against traffickers. To check the drug trade in the jails, Badal said "DGP and ADGP jails have been asked to conduct surprise checks in all the jails and if any police or jail official found involved in shady deeds he would be straightaway dismissed from service".
Calling upon all political leaders not to defame Punjab on the drug issue, Badal said, "We are facing a difficult situation but it was not as big as is being made out."
Congress MLA Rana Gurmit Sodhi demanded that drug cases registered against the youth should be cancelled and efforts should be made to rehabilitate them.
Badal replied to Sodhi that Punjab government would take a lenient view against drug consumers who were not involved in drug trafficking and in any other cases relating to drugs.

Bulldogs eye fast start vs Falcons
NATIONAL University tries to get off to a hot start when it shoots for a fourth victory versus Adamson in the UAAP men's basketball tournament at 4 p.m. today at Mall of Asia Arena.
NU star Ray Parks said the Bulldogs can't have a repeat of their Wednesday loss to Far Eastern University, 83-87, even if they nearly pulled off a huge comeback from a 20-point hole in the final quarter.
"It's a learning experience for us that we can't start slow," said Parks, the league's Most Valuable Player in the last two seasons.
University of the East, a preseason favorite just like the Bulldogs, also hopes to learn its lessons from a recent win when it faces La Salle at 2 p.m. looking for a third straight victory.
"We need to be consistent," said UE coach Boycie Zamar after the Warriors survived Ateneo's late push for a 72-68 decision last Wednesday.
Zamar expects more of his players to provide ample support to their top guard Roi Sumang, who has virtually been doing everything for the Warriors.
"Roi has been carrying the burden so much," said Zamar. "Somebody has to ease that burden."
The Green Archers are raring to rebound from an embarrassing loss to the Tamaraws, where they blew a 13-point advantage in the last three minutes of regulation before losing in overtime, 79-83, last week.
"That game was supposed to be ours, but that's not the end for us, we just need to bounce back," La Salle star Jeron Teng said of the Archers' monumental collapse where they shot miserably from the free throw line (13-of-26), especially at crunch time.
"We have to learn how to close it out," added La Salle coach Juno Sauler.
The Falcons, tied with the Archers at 2-2, also aim to recover after falling to the struggling Blue Eagles in a 71-59 rout last week.
Coach Leo Austria hopes his Falcons, led by Jericho Cruz, Rodney Brondial and Ingrid Sewa, would take advantage of their size unlike in their loss to the Eagles where they got surprisingly outrebounded, 49-37.

09/26/14 New York Times
An army officer and seven soldiers have been detained by the Mexican Defense Department in connection with the killing of 22 people in what is being investigated as a possible massacre in western Mexico in June. The arrests, on charges of crimes against military discipline, disobedience and dereliction of duty, announced in a statement late Thursday, represent a reversal for the military and some senior Mexican officials. The officials initially described the encounter on June 30 in San Pedro Limón as a shootout between soldiers and local gang members, with the soldiers firing in self-defense. "The official story is falling apart," said José Miguel Vivanco, director of Human Rights Watch's Americas division.

Gaza residents on Saturday used a 12-hour humanitarian truce agreed to by Israel and Hamas on a UN request to pull out bodies from mounds of rubble and metal of bombed homes, as the Palestinian death toll in the conflict rose to over 1,000 with mostly civilian casualties.
With the temporary ceasefire on, Palestinians frantically scoured through the rubble with medics saying over 100 bodies had been retrieved across the Gaza Strip.
The discovery of the bodies under mounds of rubble had pushed the death toll to over 1,000 Palestinians killed in the coastal enclave since the conflict began on July 8. Three Israeli soldiers were killed in fighting in the Gaza Strip in the early hours of today before the humanitarian truce started, the army said.
The new deaths raised the losses on the side of the Israeli military to 40, along with two Israeli civilians and one Thai worker killed on the Israeli side during 19 days of conflict.
Israel said it would continue to "locate and neutralise" Hamas tunnels during the pause, which began at 0800 local time. So far 31 tunnels have been discovered, with about half destroyed, Israeli's military said.
Before the truce began, Israeli strikes killed at least 19 Palestinians overnight at a family home near Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip. Images showed relatives weeping as the bodies of five children were taken to a local morgue.
Two Israeli soldiers were also killed overnight, Israel's military confirmed.
The Iron Dome defence system intercepted three rockets fired towards the southern Israeli town of Ashkelon overnight.
The truce came as international efforts to negotiate a longer seven-day ceasefire continued with foreign ministers from the US, UK, Turkey and Qatar meeting in Paris today to try to negotiate a long-term truce.
"We all call on parties to extend the humanitarian ceasefire currently in force, by 24 hours that could be renewed," France's Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told reporters after the meeting, which lasted more than two hours.
"We all want to obtain a lasting ceasefire as quickly as possible that addresses both Israeli requirements in terms of security and Palestinian requirements in terms of socio-economic development," said Fabius.
US Secretary of State John Kerry and Fabius met with their counterparts from Britain, Germany, Italy, Qatar and Turkey, as well as a representative from the European Union.
As the truce took effect, Palestinians returned to areas where heavy Israeli bombardment had taken place to look for bodies and also started to stock up food supplies.
The scene was gruesome with buildings completely pulverised, cars thrown 50 metres into the air on top of buildings and the facades of some block of flats completely ripped off.
Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said late Friday night that there was "national consensus on a humanitarian truce....for 12 hours on Saturday".
The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) later confirmed the truce. US Secretary of State John Kerry yesterday said that he was still confident of a longer ceasefire.
The announcement of the humanitarian window came shortly after Israeli Defence Minister Moshe Ya'alon warned that ground operations in Gaza could soon be broadened "significantly". "You need to be ready for the possibility that very soon we will instruct the military to significantly broaden the ground operation in Gaza," Ya'alon told soldiers.
Hamas has insisted that it would not agree to any long-term truce that did not lead to an end to Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip and made provisions to open crossings to allow free movement of people and goods.
Israel launched its military offensive with the declared objective of stopping Hamas from firing rockets into Israel. It has since extended its operation to destroy tunnels dug by militants to infiltrate Israel.
According to the UN, more than 118,000 people are now sheltering in UN schools and people are running out of food.
Meanwhile, the violence also spread to the West Bank with seven Palestinian protesters being killed in clashes with Israeli police in the last 48 hours. Israeli troops shot dead two Palestinian teenagers early this morning in separate clashes in the north and south of the West Bank.
Protests were held in Ramallah, Nablus, Bethlehem and Jerusalem neighbourhoods yesterday in what was described by Palestinian leaders as a "Day of Rage" against Israel.
Three protesters were killed by Israeli soldiers yesterday near the southern city of Hebron, while Israeli settlers fired on a group of Palestinians, killing one person in Nablus. One more protester was killed in subsequent clashes there.
Earlier, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon called for an immediate "humanitarian pause" lasting through the Muslim festival of Eid al-Fitr. "On this, the last Friday of Ramadan, I call for an immediate, unconditional humanitarian pause in the fighting in Gaza and Israel. This pause would last through the Eid al-Fitr holiday period," he had said in a statement yesterday.
The UN chief's appeal came after several meetings with US Secretary of State John Kerry and Egyptian and Qatari officials aimed at ending the bloodshed.

An 'amazona' in Manila
WWII True Stories Contest Winner
More News from Dominic B. Dayta
Araceli Mallari is now 90 years old. But she tells her stories of a time long ago so vividly and in great detail that, just by listening, you can almost feel the terror that gripped her as though you were actually there with the Filipino guerrillas hiding from Japanese troops.
The first time I met her was a surprise. I was told I would be interviewing a member of the guerrilla movement during World War II. I imagined a warrior wearing dirty, tattered clothes, crouching on the ground hidden by bushes, his rifle ready to shoot and kill any approaching Japanese soldier.
Instead I met an old woman who welcomed me with a smile and talked to me in a soft voice.
Mallari was a technical officer for the Hukbong Bayan Laban sa Hapon (Hukbalahap), known for short as the Huks. She did the paper work and intelligence documents for an organization set up by the common people to fight the Japanese.
Mallari was one of the many women who made history serving the country in time of war. The national press once dubbed them the "Amazons."
So, in front of me that evening was an Amazon, a woman who witnessed the war, a woman transformed by the unspeakable horrors of the war.
How Mallari, an average middle-class woman, got involved with the war and the guerrillas was a story I found most interesting.
I listened silently to her vivid account, making World War II seem like it only happened yesterday.
She was a second year student at the University of Santo Tomas when the war began.
Death in the air
The Japanese occupation changed the world she knew into one of violence and terror. Countless men, women and children suffered in the hands of the invaders. Death was in the air. Fear gripped everyone and the streets were littered with corpses.
She had no thoughts of joining the resistance until she was overcome with anger over her strict father's refusal to let her leave their house and talk to men.
Years before the war broke out, she had become friends with someone she called Puring, who had connections with the Department for the Defense of Democracy and the organized guerrilla campaign, the Hukbalahap, which was composed of common men and women, workers and peasants who organized themselves into an army with one goal: To fight the Japanese and win back the country.
Aided by Puring and her connections, Mallari packed her bags and left home.
The guerrillas had sent a guide who met her in Tutuban, Manila. She traveled all the way to the Candaba swamp, where she was met by numerous other couriers. They traveled on foot to Cabiao, Nueva Ecija, where the Hukbalahap had its camp in a forested area.
They walked for days, with very little food to eat, until they reached the camp. Mallari proved she was tough, a true amazona.
The day after she disappeared, her father had her photograph published in a national periodical with the head: "Wanted: For 200 Pesos Reward."
With many people probably looking for her by this time, she decided to remain in the camp with the Huks.
Considered criminals
Life for the resistance fighters was not easy. They were considered criminals by the Japanese. Capture meant death.
The Huks had to keep moving. Supplies did not last long and Japanese troops made frequent raids, searching for them. They moved from city to small town, living in the houses of trusted persons or families, returning to their camp every now and then.
One night, however, the Japanese raided one of the houses where the Huks were staying. Mallari was there, along with a male Huk, when the soldiers came knocking. Escape was impossible.
The male Huk lay down on the floor before the Japanese entered.
Mallari told the soldiers, "My husband, sick. He has malaria!" pointing to the man who seemed half-dead as he lay on the floor.
"Give me medicine!" she cried. "My husband is sick!"
In a slight panic, the soldiers quickly left.
Mallari said: "Eh takot ang Hapon sa malaria (the Japanese were scared of malaria)."
She ended the interview with a message to the Filipino youth: "Get involved."
"Kailangan ma-involve sila sa problema ng bayan, ng bansa. Hindi 'yung puro good time na lang sila (They have to get involved in the problems of the community, the country. They should not focus on just having a good time)."
As I sat in front of her, I realized it was not just the war that made this amazona who she was. It was not just the war that transformed her from an average college student to a Huk. It was her love of country and her vision of a Philippines free from the torments of war that made her join the resistance movement.
(Dominic B. Dayta, the second prize winner this year, was a senior high school student at Caloocan City Science High School when he submitted this story. He was mentored by his teacher Melvin M. Navarro.)

The dangers of social norms
Filed in Anecdotes
I saw a TV advert recently that I believe is going to be a complete marketing failure. A campaign that is not going to make one ounce of difference in getting people to buy that product. Why? The power of social norms.
As mentioned in a previous blog post, people are highly sensitive to social norms – information about what other people are doing and what they approve of. We look for cues to how we should behave, what we should and shouldn't do, and what we should buy through looking at what other people do.
Westpac Bank recently launched a campaign using statistics of how few people had the appropriate insurance and superannuation cover to get people to buy more of these products. Here is an example of one of the adverts.
When I first saw this, my initial thought was; "Well 95% of the population don't have it, and they seem to be doing just fine. Why would I need more insurance?". I hadn't heard or read anywhere of a growing number of horror stories of families becoming destitute and homeless due to not having "adequate" insurance. It wasn't in the paper, on the TV news or being discussed by politicians.
If not having enough insurance was OK for 95% of Australians, then it was certainly OK for me.

Strategic stories – tackling the anti-stories
Filed in Business storytelling, Strategy
We have been helping organisations transform their strategies into concrete and memorable narratives for quite a few years now. In every organisation we've worked with – no exceptions – there have been powerful stories already circulating in the organisation that run counter to the new strategy. In most cases, these stories have been strong enough to significantly undermine the extent to which the strategy will be believed and acted on. These anti-stories need to be identified and tackled.
We've noticed a few patterns; about the nature of these 'anti-stories' and what seems to work in tackling them. Kevin and I have attempted to capture what we have learned about tackling anti-stories in a new article that you can access here
We love to hear about any anti-stories in your organisation and if you tackled them, how did you do it and what happened?
HP's CEO loses his job for want of a strategic story
Filed in Communication, Leadership, Strategy
It's quite possible you'll lose your job as CEO if you are unable to persuasively communicate your company's strategy. Léo Apotheker, the recently fired CEO of Hewlett-Packard, has just learned this lesson.
Mr Apotheker was appointed CEO of HP in October 2010 less then a year before he was let go. Before HP, Apotheker was CEO of SAP at the end of a 20 year career with the German software giant. He left SAP under a cloud and in a memo SAP issued to its employees on his departure he said, "My communication towards you was not always optimal." This should have rung some alarm bells. 1
After about 5 months in the job (March 2011) Mr Apotheker announced the company strategy. They were going to expand into the cloud business, build out its software business, open up an app store and reinvest in R&D. The aim was to lift profit margins. They would move into business analytics. He promised to take a conservative approach suggesting there wouldn't be the massive company purchases like the Compaq or EDS buy outs HP had done in the past. 2
In August 2011 Mr Apotheker announces that HP will purchase British software company Autonomy for just over $10 billion and that he is considering selling the PC business.
In September 2011 Mr Apotheker is replaced with eBay's celebrity CEO Meg Whitman. The HP stock price during Mr Apotheker reign falls from $46 to $25.
Of course this is a high level telling of a CEO's demise which has many more twists and turns including the fanfare announcement of a new tablet to rival the iPad that was eventually withdrawn from sale only weeks after its launch. The important points to note in terms of communicating a strategy are these:
- Massive changes in mind are going to hurt you. Mr Apotheker suggested they weren't going on a spending spree then announces its third biggest purchase. Our Prime Minister in Australia, Julia Gillard, is suffering a similar fate. On election she promised not to introduce a tax on carbon. As of last week the Parliament has voted in a tax on Carbon (something I support by the way) and she has been crucified for it.
- A good strategy means something is going to change. That means there will be people who are strong supporters of the old way of doing things. The misunderstood Machiavelli put it this way, "There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things." Telling everyone you might sell your PC business only creates uncertainty. IBM pursued the same strategy of selling their PC business to the Chinese company Lenovo. IBM, however, sold the PC division before announcing it to the world. Sometimes its better to rip the band-aid off quickly.
The effectiveness of HP strategic story Mr Apotheker told (and there was a good chance he didn't actually tell a story) comes from not just what's in the story, its believability and novelty, but also how it is told and whether it becomes a story worth listening to, remembering, retelling and acting upon. Add to this the importance of consistency. From all accounts Mr Apotheker failed at each step. Now let's see how Meg Whitman fairs.

Using social norms to change behaviour
Filed in Culture
People are highly sensitive to social norms – information about what other people are doing and what they approve of. You can use the concept of social norms to help drive and create change.
While researching the drinking habits of American college students, H. Wesley Perkins and Alan Berkowitz discovered that most students thought that the norms for both the frequency and the amount of drinking among their peers were higher than they actually were. In other words, they thought that everyone else was drinking way more than they were, which meant they ended up drinking more themselves.
The story they were telling themselves whenever excessive alcohol consumption came up was: "That's not me. Everyone is drinking way more than me." The social-norms approach aims to correct misperceptions like this.
A good example of how such a belief has been challenged comes from Georgetown University. In 2009, Georgetown launched its "You Don't Know Jack" campaign, featuring the university's beloved bulldog mascot. Posters went up that each featured a relatively unknown, fun fact about Jack, accompanied by a statistic concerning the drinking habits of 'Hoyas', the collective name for supporters of the various Georgetown University athletic teams.
Other stats included:
- 98% of Hoyas walk friends home to make sure they get home safe.
- 87% of Hoyas eat before and/or during drinking.
- 88% of Hoyas eat before and during drinkingInterventions such as this have helped to significantly reduce the incidence of alcohol abuse at American universities.
Other examples include
- Increasing tax payments in the UK. HMRC changed letters to explain that most people in their local area had already paid their taxes. This very simple intervention boosted repayment rates by around 15 percentage points.
- Reducing tobacco usage amongst youth. Schools in Montana in 2000 ran a campaign called "Most of Us Are Tobacco Free". It targeted youth between the ages of 12 and 17 years with the message that 70% of people don't smoke. Post-test data revealed that only 10% of teens in the campaign area reported first time cigarette use as compared to 17% of teens in a control sample, representing a 41% difference. This campaign was also launched in Texas to achieve the same result.
- Reducing home power usage. Instead of showing you a plain power bill, OPOWER, a software company that promotes home energy efficiency, uses the one below, one that compares your energy use to that of your neighbours. Such exposure causes 60 to 80 percent of people to change their energy behaviours, the company says.
- Shawn has even blogged about how they used the concept of social norms at his local basketball club to increase the payment of membershop fees..
- Social norms are therefore another change strategy you have at your disposal – a very powerful one. How could you use it for your next change initiative?

John Burton Race
John Burton Race is famous for his televised move to France with his wife Kim and their 6 children. This charted the chaos of family life while John tried to find his culinary roots.
John was born in Singapore and grew up in the Far East. As a child he would help the family cook, and he decided that he wanted to be a chef at a young age.
John's first job was in a Hampshire hotel. He moved on to cook and train at Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons with Raymond Blanc. Whilst John was head chef at at Le Petit Blanc in Oxford, it was awarded a Michelin star. His next restaurant, L'Ortolan, in Berkshire, was awarded double.
John moved into the league of 'celebrity chef' with his series French Leave on Channel 4. A second fly-on-the-wall series charted the opening of his Dartmouth restaurant, The New Angel. The New Angel has recently won a Michelin Star and offers a range of cookery courses.

NEW YORK ( BankingMyWay) -- Back in the early days of computer research, it was a widely held belief of those pioneers at Bell Laboratories that it wouldn't be long before a computer was able to match (specifically resemble) the human brain.
All these decades later, that's not quite the direction in which computer science (and brute computer memory power) has gone. In fact, the more technology progresses, the more it exhibits fits and starts in trying to match that je ne sais quoi of human sensibility -- just ask the iPhone's Siri to understand what you are saying while walking down a crowded Manhattan sidewalk, compared with the hearing and comprehension of the person standing next to you.)
Now it's the automatic teller machine that wants to prove how human it really is, beginning with a few chatty ATMs in Pittsburgh.

Habitat pledges from sales tax not yet met
TransNet extension in '04 included promise to make similar push for habitat, which hasn't happened
"There is probably about 20 to 25 percent of the electorate that shows up in a presidential year that doesn't show up any other time," he said. "They tend to be younger, more liberal and ... less tax-averse."
Anti-tax sentiment is only one of many potential challenges.
"The business sector is committed to participating in a constructive way to put this thing on the ballot and have it pass," said Jim Whalen, who represents homebuilders in the Alliance for Habitat Conservation. "What's different in our world is that the development community doesn't have the kind of money needed to fund a legitimate campaign."
Developers were among the many advocates in 2004 for the TransNet extension. An $850 million environmental package was part of the deal to ease the direct effects of road building and other projects.
In addition, the ballot measure included a pledge to seek long-term financing for regional habitat conservation plans, which are designed to balance development with open space. The plans were to establish large swaths of land to safeguard dozens of species while allowing homes and businesses on parcels deemed more suitable for development.
A recent report by SANDAG outlined the possible costs of the countywide habitat plans: $13 million a year for land acquisition and restoration; $30 million a year for habitat management and monitoring; $30 million in annual payments into an endowment; and $3 million a year for contingencies such as dealing with pest outbreaks. Over four decades, the total tops $3 billion.

Madison County Engineer David Brand and the county commissioners await an opinion by Prosecutor Steve Pronai on whether or not Brand should get extra pay for drainage-related work.
Brand says he should get the added pay; the commissioners disagree.
A lengthy discussion on Monday, with Pronai in attendance, did not result in a clear answer to the dispute.
Brand argues a recent opinion from the office of Ohio Attorney General Mike Dewine states he should be paid for the work because it is outside the responsibilities of county engineer.
But the commissioners assert the same opinion does not require additional pay for Brand because the duties are within his legal responsibilities.
Commissioner Mark Forrest said Tuesday the prosecutor continues to review case law "to clarify that our opinion is correct."
"His (Brand's) opinion would lead to extra compensation for himself — ours doesn't," Forrest said. "If we thought we're supposed to pay for it, we'd pay for it. I feel we're right on this."
Brand has been tracking his work hours spent on drainage maintenance. To date in 2014, the total is 118 hours. At his rate of pay, $41.13 per hour, he calculates he's due $4,853.34.
He said Tuesday he wants the commissioners to comply with the Ohio Revised Code (ORC) for performing duties outside statutory requirements of county engineer.
Brand said he has given commissioners information "to digest."
Other county engineers throughout the state, who are also sanitary engineers overseeing county drainage ditches, are paid annually in a range of $5,000 to $20,000, according to Brand.
For many years, the Madison County Engineer also served as the sanitary engineer and was paid a supplemental salary of $26,500 annually. Brand receives $85,354 annually as county engineer.
The dual role stemmed from a "verbal pact made 12 years ago," Brand said.
That was the situation until May 2013 when the commissioners cut Brand's extra pay to $15,000.
Brand objected to the salary cut and was relieved of sanitary engineer duties.
The commissioners then hired M-E Engineering to perform sanitary duties on an as-needed basis. Two other employees take care of the day-to-day operations of sewer districts within the county.
Following his dismissal, Brand said his office would no longer perform ditch maintenance, claiming those duties fell under the duties of the sanitary engineer and not the county engineer.
Brand ordered mowers parked on July 2, 2013, but then resumed mowing a month later at the request of local farmers.
That's when Pronai went to the attorney general's office for an objective opinion.

Willow Living Snow Fences
Blowing and drifting snow can increase the cost of highway maintenance and create hazardous driving conditions. These problems occur when snow is lifted off the ground by wind and transported across an open area towards a road. Local and state agencies in the United States spend over $2 billion annually on snow and ice control, and over $300 million annually in New York State alone. Living snow fences can mitigate blowing snow problems, reduce the cost of highway maintenance and improve highway safety. Living snow fences are rows of trees or shrubs that perform the same function as wooden or plastic snow fences by disrupting wind patterns, creating turbulence around the fence and causing snow to be deposited in designated areas.
Shrub willow is an ideal plant choice for living snow fences because of its rapid height growth, high branch density and relatively low cost of installation compared to other vegetation types. Numerous living snow fences of various species have been installed over the past decade and longer by the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT). The Willow Biomass Program at SUNY ESF has recently collaborated with NYSDOT to install new willow snow fences and conduct research on mature fences in the landscape.

Amazing Race's Idries and Jamil: It Was Hard Getting Over Our Fear of Water
By TV Guide News - email
February 25th, 2013
February 25th, 2013
Idries and Jamil were thrown into the deep end on Sunday's Amazing Race. The twin brothers and OB/GYNs were forced to confront their fear of water when both Detour options took place underwater in Bora Bora. They struggled and eventually came in last. But before you chastise them for breaking two of Race's cardinal rules (know how to drive stick shift and know how to swim), know that the twins did take swimming lessons before the show. So what happened?

Fair enough. I wasn't aware Disney actually owned Touchstone.
Having said that, if you are counting subsidiaries then Nintendo HAS published M-rated games. Eternal Darkness springs to mind. And the example you gave of Xenoblade. That's a T-rated game. There are plenty of examples of subsidiaries making T and M rated games for Nintendo in the same way Touchstone does for Disney.
Pikmin 3 is pretty photo-realistic. At least with the environment.

I bet a stylized AC could be equally cool. Take a look at how Okami portrays historic Japan, for example. I could totally see a European equivalent using a Renaissance-esque art style.

Injured Boaz Myhill out of Wales squad for World Cup qualifiers
Boaz Myhill has been ruled out of Wales' World Cup qualifiers with Scotland and Croatia.
The 29-year-old has had minor surgery on a thumb injury and will not be fit to face the Scots at home on 12 October or Croatia away four days later.
Myhill started both of Wales' opening games in Wayne Hennessey's absence.
Hennessey, who has established himself as the first-choice between the posts for Wales, has been sidelined since rupturing his knee ligament in April.
Wales' goalkeeping options
- Jason Brown - has yet to play this season for club Aberdeen or Wales
- Lewis Price - played 90 minutes in February's friendly with Costa Rica but has been limited to four games for Crystal Palace since
- Owain Fôn Williams - playing regularly for Tranmere Rovers but still waiting to make his international debut
The Wolves keeper had been given the all clear to step up his rehabilitation, but the Wales double-header now appears too soon for his return.
Myhill has played just once for West Bromwich Albion this season, conceding two goals against League One side Yeovil Town in a Capital One Cup win at the end of August.
His only other games have been the 2-0 loss to Belgium and the 6-1 humiliation to Serbia with Wales.
Manager Chris Coleman has also used Jason Brown and Lewis Price since taking over in January, but neither have played regularly for their clubs.
Brown has yet to play this season for Aberdeen, while Price has been limited to four games for Crystal Palace since his last appearance for Wales in February.
Only Tranmere Rovers stopper Owain Fôn Williams has been playing regularly this season, helping his club to the top of League One with five clean sheets in nine games.
Williams, who was not selected in the squad for Wales' first two World Cup qualifiers in September, hopes his fine form will lead to a first cap.
"I can only hope the call will come soon, but who knows what will happen?" he said.
Coleman, who has lost every game in charge, will name his squad on Friday for the next qualifiers.
Scotland have welcomed back Darren Fletcher and Stephen Fletcher to their squad, with Cardiff City goalkeeper David Marshall also included.
