Cineworld is not enough: Bond finds time to rescue the cinema chain's 2012 revenues
The name's Bond - he's been known to save the day a few times, and in this instance the British secret agent has helped to rescue Cineworld's revenues.
His latest outing, Skyfall, has now taken a record £100million at the UK box office, and its release helped drive a turnaround in the cinema chain's income in 2012.
Vampire hit Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn and Peter Jackson's latest Tolkien interpretation The Hobbit also helped pull in punters.
License to make a killing: Skyfall has raked in record amounts, while the latest Twilight was probably not harmed by the media focus on its stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart splitting up briefly
Ticket sales had slumped 1.4 per cent
over the summer as film fans stayed away during festivities such as the
Diamond Jubilee, football European championships and then the London
Olympics, which inevitably drew huge interest.
But they recovered once the
blockbusters - led by Bond - were back, with total sales revenue for the
year up 2.4 per cent by 27 December.
The average cost of cinema tickets actually rose by 5 per cent during the year, which meant the chain offset an actual fall in the number of cinemagoers. The fact that people spent more per head during their visits also helped boost revenues.
Cineworld, which has 101 cinemas with
878 screens, said there were 'attractive' releases planned this year,
including Les Miserables, Star Trek, Iron Man 3 and the second part of
The Hobbit.
Wayne Brown, analyst at Canaccord
Genuity, said the 2013 film slate played to Cineworld's strengths, with a
lower number of major blockbusters likely to drive greater admissions
Cineworld said its latest acquisition,
the arthouse cinema chain Picturehouse, was trading in line with
expectations, and it was looking to the £47.3million deal to bring it
growth in a specialised sector.
The group also plans to open three new multiplex cinemas in Wembley, Gloucester and St Neots this year.
There were also signs that a downturn
in advertising has eased, with Cineworld reporting screen advertising
revenues, which account for about half of its income, marginally ahead.
But fewer 3D films dented the group's other income, with sales of 3D glasses down in the period.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Is it true that men can't be tested for HPV? That there's no HPV test for men?
Answer: Yes and no. Although HPV testing for men is used in some research studies, HPV testing is not commonly done by doctors or in clinics. The test is unpleasant for many men - it involves using something akin to a metal nail file to scrape skin cells from a man's penis - and is not quite as sensitive or specific of a test as the HPV test is for women, as I understand it. As a result, HPV testing for men is not widely offered. Men cannot really know, then, if they carry and HPV strain or not. However, if you think you have genital warts - they can be as small as little pimples or larger and resembling cauliflower - please see your healthcare provider. They can do a biopsy or, if you'd prefer, try one of the standard treatments (such as a topical cream) to see if that works. Also, warts often go away on their own even without treatment. And now, men can get the Gardasil vaccine to help prevent cases of warts.

Task-based Language Teaching (Task-based Approach , Task-based Learning, or Task-based Instruction) Looking back 1. Definition 2. What is task? 3. Theoretical basis 4. Main features 5. Types of tasks 6. Teaching procedure 7. Learners & Teachers roles 8. Principles 9. Advantages & disadvantages Activity 3: Discuss the following questions: 1.What is Task-based Language Teaching? What are the features of TBLT? Mind map:思维导图(脑图) Concept map (概念图) ——鲁子问(2005) —谢忠平 董亚男(2006) doing things with(by) language Involvement learning by doing Inquiry TBLT learning for using learning by using Induction learning then using Incorporation Four dimensions of teaching and learning tasks represented by the "four eyes" :Involvement (参与), Inquiry (探究), Induction(归纳), Incorporation (整合). Definition: Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT) refers to an approach based on the use of tasks as the core unit of instruction in language. 任务型教学就是以具体 的任务为学习动力或动机, 以完成任务的过程为学习的 过程,以展示任务成果的方 式(而不是以测试的分数) 来体现教学的成就。 —陈 琳 王 蔷 程晓堂(2002:104-105) 所谓任务型语言教学,其核心思想就是要模 拟人们在社会、学校生活中人们运用语言所从事 的各类活动,把语言教学与学习者在今后的日常 生活中的语言应用结合起来。 —转引自张琳琳(2004) the features of Task-based Language Teaching 1.TBLT offers the opportunity for "natural" learning inside the classroom. 2.It emphasizes meaning over form but can also cater for learning form. 3.It is intrinsically motivating. 4.It is compatible with a learner-centered educational philosophy. 5.It can be used alongside a more traditional approach. —Rod Ellis 任务型语言教学的特点: 1. An emphasis on learning to communicate through interaction in the target language.强调通过交流来学会交际。 2. The introduction of authentic texts into the learning situation.将真实的语言材料引 入学习的环境。 3.Provision of opportunities for learners to focus, not only on language, but also on the learning process itself.关注语言的本身,也关 注学习的过程。 4. An enhancement of the learners' own personal experiences as important contributing elements to classroom learning. 把学习者个人的经历作为课堂学习的重要因素。 5. An attempt to link classroom language learning with language activation outside the classroom. 试图把课内的语言学习与社会的语言活动结合 起来。 ( David Nunan 1991) 2.What is the relationship between the TBLT and The CLT (similarities and differences)? Task-based Language Teaching is, in fact, a further development of Communicative Language Teaching. It shares the same beliefs, such language should be learned as close as possible to how it is used in real life. However, it has stressed the importance to combine form-focused teaching with communication-focused teaching. 3.How do we define a "task" ? A task is an activity which requires learners to use language , with emphasis on meaning , to attain an objective. Bygate, Skehan & Swain (2001) Tasks are activities where the target language is used by the learner for communicative purpose in order to achieve an outcome. 学习者为着某种交际目的而使 Jane Willis(1996) 用目的语并能获得某种结果的 一种活动。 • A task is an activity or action which is carried out as the result of processing or understanding language ( i.e.as a response). (Richards, Platt and Weber 1986:289) 任务: 人们在学习、理解、 体会语言之后所开展 的活动。 What learners do when they understand: • drawing a map while listening to a tape • look at a set of pictures and decide what should be done • completing a banking application • listening to a weather forecast and deciding what to wear • exchanging name cards • responding to a party invitation • describing a photograph of one's family We can define a "task" from the following aspects: 1.A task is a goal directed. 2.A task involves a primary focus on meaning. 3.The participants choose the linguistic resources needed to complete the task. 4.A task has a clearly defined outcome. —Rod Ellis 1. Meaning is primary. (意义是首要的)。 2.There is a communicative problem to be solved. (有某 个交际问题需要解决。) 3.There is some sort of relationship to comparable real- world activities.(任务具有在现实生活中有发生的可能 性。) 4.Task completion has some priority.(完成任务是首要 考虑。) 5.The assessment of the task is in terms of outcomes. (根据任务的结果评估任务的执行情况。) ——Skehan(1998) PURPOSE CONTEXT PROCESS OUTCOME TASK MEANING AUTHENICITY COMMUNICATIVE The components of a task: • 目标 (Goals) • 信息输入( Input Data) 语言信息( Verbal data) 非语言信息(Non-verbal data ) • 活动 (Activities) • 结果 (Outcome) 语言结果( Verbal outcome) 非语言结果(Non-verbal outcome ) Goal: Exchanging personal information Input: Questionnaire on sleeping habits Activity: 1) Reading questionnaire 2) Asking and answering questions about sleeping habits Teacher role: Monitor and facilitator to specify what is regarded as successful completion of the task Learner role: Conversational partner Setting: Classroom / pair work —转引自张琳琳(2004) 4. What are differences between tasks and exercises? exercises tasks focus form meaning situation no situation real-life situation outcome correct form accomplishment of task language practice of assigned form choice of form and content error immediate correction delayed correction 5) .Here are some activities adopted in the present text books. Please check if they are tasks. Activity 1: Listen to Alexis and Joe. Number the pictures[1-3] Activity 2: Listen again. Fill in the blanks with the correct verbs from the box. ——Go for it, 8B P5 Activity 3:On a piece of paper, write about your life in ten years. Don't write your name on the paper. Put all the students' paper together. Take turns reading the papers, Then guess who wrote them. ——Go for it, 8B P6 Activity 4: Read the letter to Aunt Chen's column and then write some advice. ——Go for it, 8B P15 Activity 5: Look at the pictures. Listen and check what Lingling can do. —New Standard English 7A P8 Activity 7: Look at the pictures and complete the sentences. —New Standard English 7A P12 Activity 6: Listen and choose the correct picture. —New Standard English 7A P14 全日制普通高级中学英语教科书Revised SEFC的 编写依据 1、2000年颁发的《全日制普通高级中学英语教学 大纲(试验修订版)》 2、2001年颁发的《全日制义务教育普通高级中学 英语课程标准(实验稿)》的精神 (话题、任 务型教学等),其中词汇要求又参照了2003年4 月最新颁发的《普通高中英语课程标准(实 验)》的词汇表(初中 1300—1500词;高中 出口3000多词汇;目前大纲仍为2000词) —陈琳(2003) 编写原则: 仍运用"话题+结构+功能" 的教材编写 路子并融入"任务型教学"的教学理念. 在采用话题、功能、结构相结合的教学方 法的基础上,设计了"任务型"的活动。 (如 1. Writing an e-mail message. 2. Work together with your partner or a group and see who can make up the best story from one of the pictures below. P 15 1 ) —陈琳(2003) RSEFC Student's Book 1A: P 9,13,14,15,16,18,19,28, 29, 35, 39,43,48,54, 60, 70, 77, 84. 6.What are the two approaches to using tasks ? Which is more workable and practical in the Chinese context? The two approaches to using tasks are: 1.Use tasks to support a Type A approach. - task-supported teaching (Type A) - weak form of communicative language teaching 2.Use tasks as the basis for teaching - task-based teaching (Type B) - strong form of communicative language teaching 7.What are three principal phases in TBLT lessons? Three phases in a task-based lesson: 1.Pre-task phase; 2.While (Main, During) -task phase; 3.Post-task phase Willis' model for task-based instruction (Willis, 1996:127) Pre-task Introduce to topic and task Task cycle Task Planning Repot Language focus Analysis Practice Long 1991 阶 段 目 标 典型技巧 重构句子、思维创建 培养语言意识, Pre-task 语言减轻认知压力 准备、计划 Main task 平衡、融合语言的准 选择任务、控 确度和流利度 制压力 Post-task1 关注语言的准确性鼓 演示分析测试 励语言重构 Post-task2 综合、分析、演练 排序归类 Pre-task phase: Three purposes: --to serve to introduce new language that learners can use while performing the task; --to mobilize existing linguistic resources; --to ease processing load, and to push learners to interpret tasks in more demanding ways. • Some options: Allow the students time to plan. 1. Provide a model 2. Do a similar task 3. Pre-teach key linguistic items On general cognitive demands of the task 对任务要求的总体感知 An emphasis on linguistic factors 关注语言因素 Supporting learners in performing a task similar to the task they will perform in the during-task phase of the lesson 让学生做一些 在后面完成任务时需要的准备工作 Non-task preparation activities --- brain storming 大脑风暴 --- mind map 思维图 While-task phase: Some options: 1. Participatory structure 参与方式: Whole-class vs. small group work; individual or interaction 2. Set a time for completing the task. 3. Vary the number of participants. 4. Introduce a surprise element. 5. Tell students they will have to present a report to the whole class. • pair and group work are seen as central to task-based teaching; not all tasks are interactive At this stage, learners are reminded that fluency is not the only goal during task completion, and that restructuring and accuracy also have importance Task choice: the appropriate difficulty level. 1 too difficult: excessive mental processing – to communicate any sort of meaning: ellipsis, context, strategies and lexicalization which reduce the pedagogic value of a task-based approach. 2 too easy: boring, no serious engagement – no gain in terms of stretching interlanguage or automaticity development (Swain, 1985) The post-task phase: Three major pedagogical goals: -- to provide an opportunity for a repeat performance of the task(提供再做任务的机会) -- to encourage reflection on how the task was performed(反思任务是怎样完成的) -- to encourage attention to form(关注语言的形式) Reviewing of learner errors反思错误 Consciousness-raising tasks语法意识 Production-practice activities操练活动 Noticing accuracy 注意语言的准确 Consciousness-raising tasks •There is an attempt to isolate a specific linguistic feature for focused attention 就某一语法现象单独讲解 •The learners are provided with data that illustrate the targeted feature or an explicit rule describing or explaining the feature 给例子说明语法用法或对语法详细描述 •The learners are expected to utilize intellectual effort to understand the targeted features 通过思考理解语法用法 •Learners may be optionally required to verbalize a rule describing the grammatical structure 可以是学生口头表达 •To direct students to attend explicitly to a specific form they used incorrectly or failed to use at all in the main task 补充不足 Production-practice activities: Repetition 重复活动 Substitution 替换练习 Gapped sentences 填空练习 Jumbled sentences 打乱的句子 Transformation drills 变换句型 Dialogues 对话 Reflecting on the task: Present a report on how they did the task and what they decided or discovered – oral or written Summary the outcome of the task Reflect or evaluate of their own performance (fluency, complicity or accuracy) Metacognitive strategies 元认知策略 (planning,monitoring and evaluating) 8.Do we have any difficulty in carrying out TBLT in the Chinese context? a. Beginning with production, TBLT might weaken the input and language form practice. b. It is very difficult for the designers to select, grade and sequence the tasks scientifically. c. It neglects the differences between different cultures. TBLT places a high demand on the teachers and classroom conditions (the teachers' English proficiency; the big size of the class; the limited class time; the lack of language situation; the test-oriented language learning; the assessment system). 9.Can we use TBLT alongside some "traditional " approaches (such as 3P)? 2001年课标六个基本理念: (四)采用活动途径,倡导体验参与 本课程倡导任务型的教学模式,让学生在教师的指导下, 通过感知、体验、实践、参与和合作等方式,实现任务的目标, 感受成功。在学习过程中进行情感和策略调整,以形成积极的学 习态度,促进语言实际运用能力的提高。 即将颁布的修订课标: (四)强调学习过程,倡导体验参与 现代外语教育理念注重语言学习的过程,提倡采用任务型 语言教学等各种强调学习过程的语言教学途径和方法。 ——引自张献臣 (2006) 10 . What's our proper attitude toward TBLT? We'd better acquire a compromise viewpoint. An eclectic method can be more workable and practical in the Chinese context. We should adapt TBLT to our concrete conditions. We cannot copy it mechanically. TBLT is not the only feasible way for the foreign language teaching in our country. 任务型教学代表了西方重视输出的语言学习 文化,其引进和倡导对改变我国传统的英语课堂 教学具有重要的借鉴意义。同时还应看到,我国 特有的将英语作为外语来学的语言学习环境和条 件,与西方国家许多英语学习者将英语作为第二 语言来学的特定环境和条件有许多不同,加上任 务型教学本身的问题和局限,我们对任务型教学 的借鉴应该抓住其本质与合理内核,促进其与我 国传统外语教学方式相互取长补短,而不是形式 上的盲目模仿。 ——魏永红(2004: "张思忠教学法"、"三文治故事教学法"、"全息 全感儿童英语教学法"、"逆向教学法"、"情感教 学法"、"愉快教学法"、"兴趣教学法"、"连贯 式教学法"、"M7英语听说教学法"、"讨论式教学 法"、"听说领先教学法"、"新范文教学法"、 "大学英语口语层次教学法"、"联想式教学法"、 "赏析教学法"、"英语十字教学法"、"一字法"、 "双向法"、"三维法"、"四会法"、"五步法"、 "逆向英语学习法"、"五步双重活动英语教学法"、 "二十四字立体英语教学法"、"三十二字双脑英语 教学法"、"四要点英语教学法"、"字母、音素、 音标三位一体教学法"、"直呼式韵律英语教学法"、 "简笔画情景教学法"、"神奇美语一字教学法"、 "四位一体教学法"、"疯狂英语"等等。(32种教 学法) Activity 4:The students compare two instructional designs in the TBLT framework to decide which is better and tell the reason. Activity 5:In groups the students present their teaching designs based on TBLT; the rest of class comment the presentations. END

Banks was in a protracted divorce proceeding with fourth wife Elizabeth Banks when he died in January at 83. She is challenging a will that gives Banks' assets to caretaker Regina Rice. In...

Gonzaga might be the leader for Kyle Wiltjer's services
Jun 30, 2013, 11:30 AM EDT
One of the biggest stories off the college basketball offseason recently has been the late transfer of Kyle Wiltjer. Now there are reports that his new destination could already be decided.
Wiltjer, who averaged 10.2 points and 4.2 rebounds for Kentucky last season, is a Pacific Northwest kid for Portland, and he may make his way back to the region, with Gonzaga reportedly being the top team on his list.
Says Adam Zagoria of ZagsBlog.com
"Gonzaga," one coach at another school trying to recruit him said.
The 6-foot-10 Wiltjer visited the Gonzaga campus this week, ESPN.com reported.
With the transfer of Houston's James Young to Oregon, it's unlikely Wiltjer lands in his home state at Oregon, according to the report.
Looks like Wiltjer already has the support of Bulldogs' point guard Kevin Pangos.
"I told him obviously I would love to have him at Gonzaga if he chose to leave Kentucky, but I'm not gonna pressure him too much. He's my friend and whatever decision he makes, he has to live with. I hope he comes back and to play with him, but we'll see."
Wiltjer left the Wildcats in search of a more prominent role at another high-major program. With Gonzaga losing Elias Harris and Kelly Olynyk, Wiltjer's size and outside shooting ability could help fill the talent gaps left by them.

He's a nice player but he'll never make it at the NBA level. Why leave Kentucky? Unless of course their incoming class threatens to take away minutes on the floor. Then he should transfer. Might as well go where you're assured of playing more.
- jjohnb5393 - Jul 1, 2013 at 12:12 PM
He actually said today he is considering redshirting at UK one year, getting stronger and playing there ,still…..
- florida727 - Jul 2, 2013 at 12:35 PM
If I'm him, my concern would be there's the (perceived) revolving door of incoming talent that Calipari always seems to snag, and is there ever going to be an assurance of him getting a lot of minutes? When you're potentially staring down the proverbial barrel of the end of your college career, the tendency is to "look out for #1″. Hope he does whatever is best for him regardless. Seems like a good kid.

"As an architect and collector, I've visited the greatest design fairs in the world and realized that we need an event of this caliber in New York," said Collective Design Fair founder and creative director Steven Learner. "The name Collective tells the story: a passionate group of architects and designers, patrons and gallerists, uniting to create an international platform for the very best of vintage and contemporary design."
Collective .1, the first edition, will take place May 8-11, coinciding with the second edition of Frieze New York and the New York auction houses' May sales.
Private gallery designed by Steven Learner
According to Learner, as interest and the connoisseurship associated with collecting design continue to grow, the demand for related events has culminated in fairs around the globe.
The fair will host over 25 international galleries as well as curated exhibitions, institutional displays and special programming to present a timely perspective on the global design world. It will offer a broad view that ranges from rare vintage works to the most innovative contemporary material being produced today.
Steven Learner
Premiering at Pier 57, on the West Side Highway at 15th Street, the show kicks off with a preview VIP cocktail reception on Tuesday, May 7.
Further information on exhibitors, institutional partners, and additional programs will be announced later this month.

When Egypt went into their Arab Spring and people were dying all the blame went onto Israel and the USA because ..after all it was the USDA and Israel that were propping up the Mubarak regime. Well Syria has not ever been propped up by Israel or the USA and Assad is doing exactly the same but even worse. This is all Arab/Islamic mentallity. This is how the leaders live and breathe. It has always been this way. It never mattered about "occupation:. These people for centuries lived under the thumb. It is the modern world that is finally catching up to them. And maybe they will now be able to see that hating Israel was because their leaders had them focus on that instead of freedom. If I am wrong and they feel the same after all this is over ...then let the fun continue. Kill each other if that is all you know.

FREE Registration to First Global DevOps Event!
While there are many ways to define DevOps, the goal of the concept is to be able to deliver IT solutions faster, leveraging several technology tools to add value for business. Cloud companies have demonstrated how they can manage massive pools of IT infrastructure, giving the developer a very flexible resource pool that they can leverage and IT is eager to do the same.
In this Power Panel at 2nd DevOps Summit moderated by Cloud Expo Tech Chair Larry Carvalho, Bernard Golden, VP, Strategy at ActiveState; Andi Mann, VP of Strategic Solutions at CA Technologies; John Willis, VP of Customer Enablement at Stateless Networks; Randy Bias, Co-Founder and CTO of Cloudscaling; and Vasu Sankhavaram, Chief Strategist of DevOps and Cross Portfolio Architecture Alignment within HP Software, will discuss this movement that is delivering frictionless IT to the enterprise.

Providing the needed data for application development and testing is a huge headache for most organizations. The problems are often the same across companies - speed, quality, cost, and control. Provisioning data can take days or weeks, every time a refresh is required. Using dummy data leads to quality problems. Creating physical copies of large data sets and sending them to distributed teams of developers eats up expensive storage and bandwidth resources. And, all of these copies proliferating the organization can lead to inconsistent masking and exposure of sensitive data. But some organ...

Overgrown applications have given way to modular applications, driven by the need to break larger problems into smaller problems. Similarly large monolithic development processes have been forced to be broken into smaller agile development cycles. Looking at trends in software development, microservices architectures meet the same demands. Additional benefits of microservices architectures are compartmentalization and a limited impact of service failure versus a complete software malfunction. The problem is there are a lot of moving parts in these designs; this makes assuring performance compl...

Kamala Harris Declares Victory, Announces Transition Team
Kamala Harris declared victory this morning in the razor-close race for attorney general. With almost all the ballots counted, Harris is leading L.A. District Attorney Steve Cooley by 73,102 votes.
Proving right off the bat that she will be a different kind of A.G., Harris announced a star-studded "transition team," including former L.A.P.D. Chief Bill Bratton, criminal justice reformer Connie Rice, and former Secretaries of State Warren Christopher and George Shultz. Those names suggest Harris has ambitions that go well beyond being California's "top cop."
Harris also displayed some of her trademark caution when she was asked how she would handle the appeal in Schwarzenegger v. Plata, the prison overcrowding case being argued today before the U.S. Supreme Court.
During the campaign, she said she would not have pursued the appeal to the Supreme Court, and would have abided instead by a three-judge panel's order to reduce the state prison population.
Speaking today at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel, however, Harris declinined to say what she would do with the case now that it's before the nation's highest court.
"I would need to read the briefs to make that decision," she said.
Echoing the theme of her campaign, Harris said that she
would bring innovation to the state's criminal justice system and work to stop the revolving door of recidivism.
"We may have and can have and should have a role in reform of criminal
justice system, which at this point has the highest recidivism rate in
the country," Harris said.
Though the attorney general is considered the state's top law enforcement officer, those issues are generally up to the governor and the Legislature.
As the L.A. Weekly reported earlier this month, one of Harris' biggest obstacles may be Gov.-Elect Jerry Brown, who has disappointed prison reformers in his four years as attorney general.

The Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) has published two new candidate standards that document enhancements to the AC-3 digital audio compression standard and specify its use in the DTV standard.
The new specifications provide improved performance and flexibility. Enhanced AC-3 gives the industry expanded audio capabilities that can be used for broadcast, cable, satellite and DVD applications, according to ATSC President Mark S. Richer.
ATSC first standardized the AC-3 digital audio system in November 1994. AC-3 is now widely used in digital television systems around the world. The enhancements to AC-3 (E-AC-3) are contained in documents CS/T3-613 and CS/T3-614.
CS/T3-613 provides revisions to the ATSC Digital Audio Compression Standard (A/52) that can be used in a variety of media. CS/T3-614 describes additions to the ATSC DTV Standard (A/53) that specify use of E-AC-3 in the Enhanced VSB (E-VSB) robust mode currently under development in ATSC.
These new candidate standards complement the previously published CS/T3-608 and CS/T3-609 that provide transport specifications for E-VSB and CS/T3-606 that provides enhancements to the ATSC PSIP standard (A/65) for use with E-VSB.
Dolby Laboratories submitted Enhanced AC-3 to the ATSC for consideration in response to a request for information published in December 2002. E-AC-3 can be converted into AC-3 for playback compatibility on consumers' existing A/V decoders.
The Candidate Standard stage is an explicit call for implementation and technical feedback. Candidate standards are available at www.atsc.org/standards/candidate_standards.html.

Sorry about the Grass/Gross duplicate. I've tried to not enter any but I'm sure some got through. I have finished going through all of the death records (1910-1940)-hopefully got all of Mt Auburn and most of Ashland. There are many more transfers coming-are you still OK with taking all of them?

John E. Richards family info
Ms Witherow, thank you so much for posting, in 2013, a grave photo and obit for John Richards in Bevier, Mo. My great grandfather and great grandmother, William E. Richards and Mary Hannah Telford (Richards) came to the U.S. from the U.K. in 1881 and I didn't know until recently that William's older brother, John who was married to Dorothy, immigrated with him. I'd love to contact some of these long lost cousins and share our genealogical information and family stories with them. Do you have any suggestions on how I could make contact with any surviving John and Dorothy Richards family members? I'm advancing in age and don't want to miss this opportunity to make contact. I don't mind if you share my email address if that would help.
Thank you
