text: I can't see the Beast's W&H (wounded and healed) as a reference to a person; for the Beast does not begin to represent a PERSON until it (the Beast as a symbol of world power; WP) has been W&H. Therefore the W&H, IMO, affects the symbolic Beast while the Harlot sits upon the 7 hills of world power. The Beast remains an ENTITY before and after the W&H action represents the Beast as a PERSON. That's why the Beast-Person is called an "8th King". He is "out of the 7th WP as a person prior to being indwelt by the Beast from the Abyss as the Antichrist (AC). So he is therefore also the 2nd ruler of the final WP. In that case, the AC cannot be W&H. The Beast-ENTITY is W&H by the Ten Kings that destroy Mystery Babylon in "one hour with fire" and then "eat her flesh", i.e., confiscate the SYSTEM represented by the Beast as an ENTITY. It's the same WP; but under a 2nd (8th) ruler. So the Beast-ENTITY is personified as a Beast-PERSON at Midweek of Daniel's 70th Seven. That is when the AC is "revealed" although we may "guess" his identity during the first half of the Week. For he, as the "little horn" of Daniel, will "subdue" 3 of the 10 kings who destroy Babylon before Satan empowers him by a demon from the Abyss and the 10 kings give him global "authority". Since the Antichrist is not "revealed" until the midst of Daniel's 70th Seven, we should hesitate to identify him by name at least until he overcomes three of the Ten Kings who will destroy Rome in one hour ! :wavey: Mel Miller www.lastday.net

Deferred Prosecution For Juvenile Offenders in Texas
In Texas, a person age 17 or under is considered a juvenile and is subject to juvenile law. The main goal of the Texas juvenile justice system is to rehabilitate, not punish. As such, juveniles are shown much more leniency than adults. First-time juvenile offenders in particular are granted the most leniency when faced with criminal charges.
Every county in Texas has some type of probationary program for juvenile offenders. Such programs typically require the child to complete a specified period of probation to avoid formal adjudication. The applicability and requirements of these programs varies by county, but they all have the same goal---rehabilitate the child by showing leniency. The most commonly used program is deferred prosecution.
Deferred Prosecution
Deferred Prosecution is authorized by Texas Family Code §53.03. It allows a juvenile to avoid prosecution by completing a specific period of probation. Under §53.03, deferred prosecution is only available in cases where the state has probable cause to believe the child has committed an offense. This means that deferred prosecution is NOT available in cases where the State has insufficient evidence to support a finding of guilt.
A juvenile may be placed on a period of deferred prosecution by the probation department, the prosecutor, or the juvenile court. The process and requirements for placing a juvenile on deferred prosecution depends on who is initiating the deferral.
- Probation Department: The probation department may place a child on deferred prosecution if doing so would be in the best interest of the child. The child and parents must voluntarily consent to defer prosecution, but they may terminate the deferral at any time and go to court. Under TX Family Code §53.01, most offenses are eligible for deferral by the probation department except felonies and misdemeanors involving violence or weapons. The department may set the length of probation for six months or less, depending on the offense.
- Prosecutor: TX Family Code §53.03 authorizes a prosecutor to defer prosecution in any case, including felonies and misdemeanors involving violence or a weapon. However, the prosecutor may not grant deferred prosecution for certain alcohol-related offenses. The prosecutor can either directly grant deferred prosecution, or send the case to the juvenile probation department for deferral. In either case, the prosecutor has much more discretion than the probation department in determining when to grant deferred prosecution.
- Juvenile Court: The juvenile court can grant deferred prosecution in any case except for certain cases involving alcohol-related offenses. The court can grant deferred prosecution on its own, or the child may ask the court to grant it. If the child asks for deferred prosecution, the court will hold a hearing to determine whether the deferral should be granted. The outcome of the hearing depends on the evidence presented by the child's representative. Evidence of mitigating factors such as good grades, employment, and participation in extracurricular activities will be considered by the court.

A haruspex in ancient Rome was a religious official who interpreted omens by inspecting the entrails of sacrificial animals. The haruspices were part of a group of seers or auguries whose official function was not so much to foretell the future as to work out whether the gods approved of some proposed course of political or military action. Nothing of importance was undertaken until the auguries had been consulted. Many omens were actively watched for, such as the flight of birds, the pecking behaviour of sacred chickens, or the sound of thunder. The Romans borrowed these techniques from their predecessors, the Etruscans.
Edward Gibbon, in The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, was disdainful of what he saw as the barbarous rites of the period: "Amidst the sacred but licentious crowd of priests, of inferior ministers, and of female dancers, who were dedicated to the service of the temple, it was the business of the emperor to bring the wood, to blow the fire, to handle the knife, to slaughter the victim, and, thrusting his bloody hands into the bowels of the expiring animal, to draw forth the heart or liver, and to read, with the consummate skill of an haruspex, imaginary signs of future events. The wisest of the Pagans censured this extravagant superstition, which affected to despise the restraints of prudence and decency."
The second part of the word is clearly from Latin specere, to look at, but the first part is more mysterious; it may be related to Sanskrit hir, an artery. The technique is called haruspicy. Another word for it is extispicy, a word whose the first element we do know the origin of — it's from Latin exta, entrails.

Good 3.8 /5 from 115 reviews
This is a very low-cost one-star hotel in a very popular and central area of the city. You get what you pay for, but - with that caveat - I can recommend this hotel for your stay. It is clean, in good overall conditions, provides free WiFi and is located conveniently. I'll probably book here again for my next visit of the city.
Wonderful stay with knowledgeable and friendly service. Very close to Aerobus Bus Stop, convenient for airport transport. Right in the heart of the Gothic District which is the place to stay in Barcelona. Will definitely be back!
stayed 1 night in this hotel before going to a cruise.Hard to find. its near las ramblas .need to request a balcony or a room with a window during the booking . good for one night stay.
the room was small, need some update.
Clean, basic hotel in a central location, just behind the market on the Ramblas. Facilities are minimal, but has a 24-hour reception, so is secure.

Team Building Introduction
A dissertation submitted by Ian Harnett in partial completion of the award for BSC (HONS) Sport Development and Coaching Sciences.
This study was inspired by the lack of research that has been undertaken in the field to date.
Considering the importance of training, notably in the form of team building, and the £10.5 billion UK employers spend per annum (Department of Trade and Industry 2003) this field is of considerable importance.
The research undertaken is primarily focused on establishing the effectiveness of team building exercises from a management perspective, analysing primary and secondary data in an attempt to contribute the findings to the limited subject area.
The following piece is an investigation into the effect team building exercises have on performance focusing on groups within the corporate sector.
The paper is in association with the author's industrial placement conducted in the leading team building company, Progressive Resources.
It is to this effect that the author has chosen this yet unexplored field of investigation.

Bargain! A great silk made to a high standard. It's most suited to the vanishing hanky trick or you can use it for coin through silk effects. It's probably too small for sly silks though.

(This review is for 6" Silk (Lemon) by Vincenzo Di Fatta)
If you own Tom Krzystoff's DVD set from Penguin here, there is an effect involving a silk in it. I have performed that effect sucessfully every time I performed it, thanks to one of these.
These are pretty small and kind of hard to see. That can be a problem sometimes. But if you wave it around and make it know, then you shouldn't have a HUGE problem with them.
Like every silk, these tear and wear as well. You won't get too long out of them but they do the trick. I suggest buying these and extras, you will need them if you are a performer. Good luck!

Under extreme conditions, even a Schoeps Colette series microphone can be overdriven by very high sound pressure levels. Here the limiting factor is not the capsule but the microphone amplifier. The overload point ranges from 128 – 135 dB-SPL, depending on the capsule and the amplifier type (e.g. 5 dB lower with the "+5 dB" version). In these situations the signal level at the amplifier input may be attenuated by inserting the Schoeps PAD 20 between the capsule and the microphone amplifier or the Active Accessories.
- ca. -20 dB constant attenuation
- Raises maximum sound pressure level by ca. 10 dB
- Attenuates signal ahead of CMC microphone amplifiers of the Colette modular system

The HubSpot platform is extremely powerful. I tend to think of their tool as a serious of different positions within my marketing team. I firmly believe we could (and should) have 1 person for each of the core functions offered in HubSpot. That isn't to say you MUST have a person for each role... I say that because I don't want to discourage anyone from using HubSpot's robust and scalable platform for their team. In other words, I think that you can buy HubSpot today and grow with HubSpot tomorrow.

The system will work wonderfully 80% of the time but the other 20% of the time system breaks down (workflows wont work, wont capture valuable leads, will spam lists despite a suppression list, etc.). The development team is always working on it, but this can take 48+ hours with no communication and really no explanation.More about HubSpot

Skip the spoonful of sugar, Banner Pharmacaps uses gelatin to help the medicine go down. The company develops and makes a range of softgels for convenient oral dosage and delivery of prescription, over-the-counter (OTC), and nutritional medicines and supplements. Its soft gelatin technologies are used in both branded and private-label OTC products, such as pain and cold medicines. Banner also works with prescription drugmakers to enhance solubility and delivery methods for existing products, as well as for compounds in clinical trial stages. Former parent company VION sold Banner to Patheon in 2012.
Change in Company Type
Contract manufacturing firm Patheon paid some $269 million to acquire Banner Pharmacaps. The purchase expanded Patheon's oral dosage development and manufacturing operations.
Geographic Reach
Banner Pharmacaps operates four manufacturing facilities and related research centers allow it to serve customers around the globe. In addition to its main production and R&D center at its headquarters location in High Point, North Carolina, the company operates centers Alberta, Canada; Mexico City; and Tilburg, Netherlands.
Using gelatin and polymer-based technologies, Banner Pharmacaps specializes in producing softgels that control release rate and enhance performance of certain compounds. In addition to the main North Carolina facility, which produces a variety of prescription, OTC, and nutritional medicines, Banner's European plant manufactures softgels and Soflet Gelcaps. Meanwhile, its facility in Mexico sells finished packaged products directly to consumers under the Pharmacaps and Gelcaps brands.
Banner Pharmacaps' scientists are experienced in the field of oral drug delivery and work to develop softgel variations often in conjunction with major pharmaceutical companies. For instance, in 2011 the company formed an alliance with Impax Laboratories to develop softgel capsule products. Its acquisition by the larger Patheon organization will give Banner backing to pursue further expansion efforts.

The Third National Biodiversity Assessment – to be completed in 2018 – is assessing the threatened status and protection level of South Africa's freshwater and estuarine ecosystems. Description: Copyright: 2016 Water Research Commission (WRC) 2016-08-01T00:00:00Z The creation of cooling degree (CDD) and heating degree day (HDD) climatic maps for South Africa http://hdl.handle.net/10204/8797 Title: The creation of cooling degree (CDD) and heating degree day (HDD) climatic maps for South Africa Authors: Conradie, D; Van Reenen, T; Bole, S Abstract: The current six climatic regions map used in the SANS 204 (2011) South African National Building Standards does not optimally support quantified design decisions within the built environment. It also does not give an indication of the amount of cooling and heating energy that would be required within a particular climatic region. To address this, the application of Standard Effective Temperature (SET) was assessed during the course of 2014 in an attempt to provide a rational and more accurate replacement for the current SANS 204, six zone climate map of South Africa. The intention was to create maps based on a set of factors that determine human comfort, such as relative humidity and dry-bulb temperature. The intention was also to create a system that could better support adaptive building design decisions in creating comfortable thermal environments. Over the last 100 years, many different heat strain indices have been proposed to indicate comparative thermal comfort levels. After reviewing these standards the team concluded that Standard Effective Temperature (SET), as proposed by Gagge, might be the best index as it considers the effect of humidity in the experience of thermal comfort. SET maps were produced using the same data as had been used to produce the Köppen-Geiger map. Verification of the SET maps showed weak to poor correlations between SET and the expected building heating and cooling energy demands. As a result of the poor correlation, the decision was made to create a set of maps based on interpreted degree days in order to establish if such an index would give a better correlation to building energy demand. A very large dataset of 21 years of hourly data, which assumes an A2 climate change scenario at a 50 km resolution, was used in the process. An algorithm was used to resample the source data from 50 km to 5 km. This 5 km grid dataset was used to produce heating and cooling degree day maps. An excellent correlation between degrees days and modelled building energy demand was found. This paper describes the data processing, creation of the degree day map and the subsequent verification processes in detail.

While the African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) is sometimes considered a bulk grazer, other studies indicate that they can be selective and show seasonal variations in their home ranges. We used very high resolution satellite imagery to evaluate how the quality and quantity of the vegetation influence space use by buffalo herds in Kruger National Park, testing the bulk-selective hypotheses. Using telemetry data from six buffalo, we analyzed seasonal differences in home ranges and core areas. We investigated resource selection and preference at various spatial scales for a subset of three buffalo, comparing habitat use against vegetation biomass and nitrogen content, derived from a high resolution RapidEye image of the wet season. Overall buffalo preferred open vegetation types, with sparse trees and fertile soils, and had home ranges that partially overlapped between dry and wet seasons (average overlap 50%). Buffalo formed home ranges non-randomly within the study area, choosing vegetation of higher quality and quantity. Within home ranges, however, they selected for higher quality forage, and not for higher quantity. Our results showed that the dichotomy between unselective bulk grazers or selective feeders can be scale dependent, as buffalo behaved more like bulk feeders at the scale of home ranges but were more selective within their home range, preferring quality over quantity.

Eutrophication, defined as enrichment by nutrients, and toxin-producing cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) blooms pose a significant threat to the quality of South African surface water bodies. The status and trends of chlorophyll a (chl-a, a proxy for eutrophication), cyanobacterial blooms and cyanobacterial surface scum were determined for South Africa's 50 largest water bodies between 2002 and 2012, using a recently developed algorithm and 10 years of data from the Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) satellite. The majority (62%) of the 50 water bodies were highly nutrient enriched or hypertrophic, while 26 had cyanobacterial blooms which posed a high health risk from surface scums. This study is the first of its kind to provide quantitative water quality information for South Africa's water bodies from a time series of satellite remotely sensed data. We demonstrate the pivotal role that satellite remote sensing can play in greatly supplementing in-situ monitoring efforts such as the National Eutrophication Monitoring Programme. The finding that many water supply bodies are severely impacted by eutrophication and cyanobacterial blooms confirms that these remain issues of critical concern for water security and supply in South Africa.

The Conditional Random Field is based on probabilistic messages being passed along a graph to compute efficiently the conditional probability for a land cover class. Conventionally the information is passed among direct spatial neighbors to improve classification accuracy. The inclusion of higher order descriptive structures in the graphs allow for more information to be pass along to further improve classification accuracy. Unfortunately this increases the computational cost beyond what is feasible to classify a large geographical area. In this work we investigate a spatially based cluster potential to improve classification accuracy while keeping the computational costs tractable. We also expand the typical 1-tier protograph used in conventional CRFs to a 2-tier graph to encapsulate the temporal dimension. This further improves the classification accuracy by modeling the seasonal variations experienced throughout the year. The conventional and higher order CRF are compared to a Random Forest on monthly composited Landsat images. These two CRFs are then compared to the same CRFs expanded to a 2-tier graph. An overall improvement between 2-4% is observed in our study area which is located near the city of Vryheid, South Africa.

This has led to the conversion of natural lands into large man-made landscapes i.e., increase in impervious surfaces and a decrease in vegetative cover. This land use or land cover changes are also thought to affect the climate of the Tshwane metropolis as is evidenced by heat waves in 2013 and 2014. This paper describes how vegetation and impervious surface area (ISA) or built up areas were classified from Landsat 8 LCDM, 2013, and Landsat 7 ETM+, 2003 images using thematic spectral indices and mean surface temperatures derived from the thermal bands. The linear relationship between the two land cover types and surface temperature (LST) derived from the thermal bands was also examined. The results of this research reveal that the ISA increase has occurred due to urban sprawl and this have contributed to increase in surface temperature.

I was given the opportunity to interview Floria Sigismondi for her directorial debut in the new movie, The Runaways. Previously, her work has consisted of music videos and photography. Look for our review on the film here. This interview was what is called a round-table interview, in which other critics/reporters and myself try our hardest to confuse and embarrass the talent we are interviewing. Just kidding, you will hear other voices though, that I can not name. For the sake of continuity, all questions asked by others will be known as Reporter, and then there are a couple from ME, Angela. Scroll to bottom for audio.
Floria walks into room.
Good Mornings are said to everyone.
Floria jokes, Should I take notes too? (in reference to the notepads that have been placed in front of all of us.)
Me: I'd like to know what drew you to this movie about The Runaways over any other kind of band or musician?
Floria: Well they're the first American all girls band and there was something really great about that; sort of being 15 and like anything is possible. And you know, hitting that alone, they hit a lot of walls, ya know… that they broke down, one would hope. But also the story of Cherie and Joan really was captivating to me and how different they really are and how this moment in time in coming together was very special for them, you know.
Reporter: When were you first introduced to the novel (Neon Angels)?
Floria: Brian Young, who is my manager, but he is also executive producer on the project brought me in to meet the Linsons and they had bought the option for the book. But then I just used Cherie's book [Neon Angels] for her side of the story and then I interviewed Joan (Jett) and interviewed Kim (Fowley) and talked to a lot of people about Sandy (West) to find out about her character, unfortunately I wasn't able to talk to her, and then just tried to figure out what the story was from there, you know. I mean it's hard when you've got someone's life, never mind all these people's lives to kind of find a… you know, how to portray that.
Reporter: Were there contradictions between the different accounts you had to kind of iron out?
Floria: Oh yeah, definitely, and that's why I played certain things the way that I did. But Cherie definitely looks at the world very differently than Joan looks at the world.
Reporter: I'm probably the only one in here who's old enough that actually saw The Runaways…
Floria: Ahh, lucky you!
Reporter: and the Ramones and everybody and it felt realistic. That was the best, it felt like that time. How did you get it… most rock movies don't feel right…
Floria: Well I did a ton of research, but also that's the period that I love in music so I've always looked at photographs and been interested in music from that genre of that time. For the girls, I just sort of went back into my childhood and picked at things that I remembered and felt right and I grew up in the 70s, but I was much younger. But there were vivid, vivid imagery that I had. But that's great that you say that.
Reporter: Why do you think so many rock and roll stories end? Always through different circumstance but they always kind of end at the same road so many times with destruction and tragedy and everybody breaking down and it just not holding together.
Floria: Well there are very few bands that hold together, Well I don't think that's necessarily the norm, right? So that most bands ended in something like this (The Runaways). I think this ending is inspirational, I don't think it's a down ending at all, I think Cherie's story is very inspirational. She listens to herself, and gets out when she can. I think it would have ended the other way if she had stayed.
Reporter: Tell us a little about the casting process where you're nailing down who is going to play Cherie and who is going to play Joan. Because both of the leads are just so powerful, and probably the best performances that either of them (in my opinion) have ever gotten on film. Tell us how you came to getting Dakota and Kristen in the movie.
Floria: Well Art Linson, who had worked with Kristen on Into the Wild had mentioned her and then I went to go see the film and I thought, "wow, her eyes" she just really had a lot of presence and so when I met her, there was something about her that reminded me of Joan, even though she had long, flowy hair and we hadn't done the look obviously yet, but she had this sort of tough, shy quality about her, in which Joan has also. So, I was really excited when that happened and that was… we locked in her contract before Twilight came out, so I had no idea about the paparazzi that were gonna follow us around (laughs).
And then Dakota, somebody said 'how old was she when you started writing this' and I was like, My God, she would have been far too young, ya know. But by the time I got into casting and I heard she was really interested in it, I met her and she's got this sort of glint in her eyes and she really wanted to do it. Both girls really wanted to sing and play their instruments, well Kristen. And so that, for me, felt like a real commitment and I had so many great things to play with, with such a rich era. Even their costumes, well if you want to call them costumes, but their everyday wear, and their makeup and just the way people looked at the time; I think they could draw on that, there was a lot of that stuff for them to sink their teeth into. I was lucky to to have shot in Los Angeles, because at first they were talking about Detroit and I thought, Oh my God, I've been to Detroit and the lighting is different and this just isn't going to work (laughs). But when LA worked and in the valley there were so many places that were untouched, I think that also helped, finding these places that weren't renovated and just coming in and making it my own, but you know, they had history already.
Reporter: Did you seek out Michael Shannon for Kim Fowley?
Floria: Yeah. He, Oh My God, to get him I thought was a coo. He just knew how to play it, it was so wordy, his dialogue, and in the wrong mouth, my God, it could have been awful. He really played it in a way that was menacing, funny, and condescending and there were so many more things that were a little more complicated in his dialogue that I thought he nailed. I thought he owned it, I don't know what that says about him. (laughs) And he's so tall, he's the same height (as Kim Fowley). I thought, no he has to be as tall, imagine that you're 15 and this guy is towering over you at like six foot four, especially in the trailer. That trailer, I wanted it to be just an inch over his head. (laughs)
Reporter: Did your work doing music videos in the past help out at all, especially with the concert parts of the film?
Floria: Yeah, and you know, being around musicians all my life, but definitely with the concert parts I felt the most confident going into it. And for me, having experience in that area was important for me for the girls to play their instruments. So they all had lessons, they all bonded together as a band, and I made sure that that happened every day, for four hours a day for two weeks. And so they were really able to feel what it was like for sure. I wanted to give it an energy.
Reporter: Were you yelling at them to play their instruments better and letting them know that if they didn't do it convincingly, people would be throwing things at the screen? (referencing a scene in The Runaways)
Floria: No, I think they would have thrown up stuff. (laughs) They were all so committed, all of the girls. Yeah, for me it was important, like that finger has to be on that part of the guitar.
Reporter: Joan and Cherie were on set a lot of the time, so did it feel like you had second and third directors with you?
Floria: You know it didn't feel like that, I didn't know how it was going to feel, but it didn't feel like that. Of course when you are doing a life (story) about somebody, they want to be a part of it, I mean a film about somebody's life, did that come out right?
Reporter: Yeah, we got it, take two.
Floria: (laughs) yeah take two? Take Three! But, no, I think it was really supportive for the actors and I think it was a safe place for them to go. If I'm doing it completely wrong, then they're going to speak up, you know, and for me also. And they never did, so that was good. To be there for Kristen and Dakota was a good thing.
Reporter: I'm going to branch off of that music video question. People loved Cherie's comments about Rush being total jerks last night, Did you come across any rock star attitude in your music video directing that prepared you for The Runaways drama?
Floria: That tripped me? (laughs) Umm, no, because at that point when I'm… Well let me see it would have been before they had given me the job, because by the time I get the job, everybody wants to do it and be cooperative. So no, but sometimes I had to convince people to go places. Not with them, it's funny, it's with everybody else on the crew, or people who work with the band or something like that. I haven't come across that in the last ten years, but before that when I was really young and I was kind of like are you the make up artist, are you the stylist? And they were no. Or if I would talk to the cameraman about something technical, they would just be like, "it's okay" (demonstrating with hands to go away.) And I'm thinking, I'm a photographer, but I never really came across that with the musicians.
Reporter: Actors generally want to be rock stars, musicians generally want to be actors.
Floria: Everybody wants something else.
Reporter: Everybody wants to cross over into the other realm. You've dealt with both through your career. Who would you rather work with? A rock star who wants to be an actor, or an actor who wants to be a rock star?
Floria: Oh my God, you're putting me on the spot. These are all my friends.
Reporter: that's my job.
Floria: Nah, I can't answer that… umm, I don't know. You know it's different when I work with musicians, they know the song better than I do, do you know what I mean? It comes from a very personal place for them. So for me, its about interpreting that and finding something else in that. Its like when they're performing, you can only get them to the place where maybe they wrote it. Unless they're playing a character or something. And then when they're playing a character, it's like they're the actor, right? So I'm constantly wearing both hats and trying to get them into my world. But I found the biggest difference with the acting was to give them as much knowledge as possible, especially for a time from when they weren't even born. So, the two are really different things.
Reporter: How do you telescope that huge story, because it really is a sprawling mass, if you look at that Runaways story, into something that concise?
Floria: Well you know, I think because I had rights for Cherie and Joan and Kim, it forced me… not forced me, I was really… I decided to make the film about them. And I think that helped. There was lots that happened, things that you know, if it had to do with the story between the two of them, it stuck, if it didn't, it fell by the wayside, no matter how interesting it was. There was obviously lots of interesting things that happened to them that aren't in the film, but that helped me to be very focused. And also, I had a certain amount of time, a certain budget, and there was a lot of different things that shaped this film.
Reporter: How did you choose how to merge realism with having a bassist that's fictional? And did you think it was going to be so politically challenging?
Floria: Well it was politically challenging as soon as I walked in. With it being about real people that are alive and the fans and just the subject matter alone, you know. I'm playing that fine line between people's feelings, fans recollection of them, authenticity, but also it's a story and you've got to have a theme. So I had to be true to that theme. What I did is I… it's not that none of it is true, most of it is true, it's what I did is meeting them and seeing their characteristics and going ok, how can I show that part of them? Because that took a lifetime to say, I am this type of person, or for me to get that from them. And there isn't going to be a scene that they can tell me that, or inform the audience of that, and so for me it's like how do I do that? How do I get that this is Joan Jett off the first scene and this is Cherie Currie off the first scene? So those are the things that I elaborated on and created scenes to pick those kinds of characteristics.
Reporter: So why then change other aspects, rather than just highlight?
Floria: Well the aspect, what do you mean? Do you mean the way that they ended, I changed that part about that.
Reporter: Right, and then just the character, I mean with just having one fictional bassist?
Other Reporter: Rather than the revolving door of bassists that they had.
Floria: Oh! The bassist! I thought you were talking about the bases of something.
Reporter: I'm sorry, I'm slurring, I haven't had enough coffee yet.
Floria: The bassist! Is that what the whole fucking question was about? (room laughs) For fuck sake, I need my coffee, I just woke up, ugh. The bassist… the bassist, I never had her rights. I never had Jackie's rights, she's a lawyer.
Reporter: Really? So, it just kinda came down to…
Floria: Well it has to, doesn't it? And they did have many bassists, and so I invented the bassist and she's not a big character in the film.
Reporter: You should just knock her out.
Floria: (laughs) and you know, I focused on the two main characters, the salt and pepper… for me they were really interesting. Obviously, Lita went on and had a huge career. There would have been something there. It really focused me to do it on the two of them in this rock n roll band in the 70s. So it kinda went from there, started in the middle and it went out like that. That's how I shaped the film.
ME: What effect do you think or hope this movie will have on the younger generation of women that are coming up now trying to find their voice?
Floria: Well hopefully it's an inspirational film and hopefully it gives them some courage, you know, to follow that little voice inside of them telling them you should really be doing this, or the little dream that they have, you know. Hopefully, because I look at both sides of the story as inspirational, even though Cherie's is a little bit of a cautionary tale. At the end, she knows she can't be in the band, and she knows that this is not her life, and she's kinda bending herself a little too much one way and it swings back. But she follows herself, you know, she is true to herself. So, hopefully, both stories kind of inspire girls to just be themselves and the world… there's nothing that can… you know, what do they say, the world's your oyster. It's limitless what you can do.
Reporter: Not being able to, or not being alive rather, for when the Runaways were actually playing,
Floria: You?
Reporter: Yeah, specifically me. Much of what I think the younger modern generation knows of them is what's been written about them, and the fact that their content and subject matter and the fact that from their time, they were to a lot of people, somewhat shocking or just brave, and a parallel that I would make in modern times would be The Donnas, but The Donnas were no where near as appalling to people. Even though there is a lot of similarities between their sounds and even their lyrical subject matter. So I wonder in this movie, and a lot of the things you had to tell in this story, you had to tell the truth about what happened in between these girls and the band is: Do you have a concern that some of the more explicit things in there are, how they might affect more conservative audiences?
Floria: Well, like I said, I was dancing this line between a lot of things, but also, if this was a PG movie, I would have been completely unfaithful to The Runaways and to those girls. So I kinda had to… I think that the thing that made it so instrumental in their lives is how young they were and they were thrown into this world with no parental guidance, plucked away from their families on tour. I mean, could you imagine? Even now, I mean it's just… you're at that age where you just want to try everything, never mind growing up in the 70s. So I think if I had taken out all of that… and also I think it was very important for Cherie's arc, you can't have the fall without all that other stuff. And you have to kinda tell the story and I'm sure I was just touching the tip, compared to how dark maybe it was at times. But yeah, there's a lot of things to think about isn't there?
Reporter: They really were polarizing too. People either loved them or hated them.
Floria: Yes.
Reporter: Absolutely one way or the other, and you would go to the shows and people would boo them.
Floria: Yeah, that's what they said.
Reporter: Could a male director done this film justice?
Floria: Um, I don't think maybe to the details, just because I went into a lot of my childhood and what it was like, you know. For all those feelings to come out and at that age and stuff. So, hopefully, I don't know, hopefully I injected something a little unique into it.
All right, nice to meet you,
[room] nice to meet you.

Following yesterdays' announcement of a one year suspension of CONCACAF VP Lisle Austin, FIFA today forwarded the names of 16 officials representing 11 Caribbean Footbal Union member federations to the Ethics Committee where Judge Robert Torres (Guam) will lead an investigation into their activities at the infamous Bin Hammam Bribe O Rama on May 10. And in a delightful slap in the face to Acting CFU President Horace Burrell and his suddenly-shrinking group of Warner loyalists, Torres announced that he has retained former Clinton FBI Director Louis Freehs' firm to once again conduct the field investigations.
You'll recall that most of the CFU federations initially refused to cooperate with Freehs' investigators on the grounds that they were Americans and, thus, were part of the broad conspiracy to punish - well, someone or other. Nobody is quite clear on that.
In this case however, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that refusing to deal with Freehs' people isn't the smart move.
Additionally, longtime Jack Warner ally, confidant and co-conspirator Colin Klass of Guyana has been "provisionally suspended" from taking part in any footballing activities worldwide.
Klass, who has been running Guyanese football for 25 years, is so roundly hated by his own national team players - largely because he steals match fees and leaves the team unpaid - that in 2008 they swore never to play again while he is head of the GFF. So he went out and found new players.
The officials, who will all be invited to personally tesitify, are:
David Hinds, Mark Bob Forde (Barbados) Franka Pickering, Aubrey Liburd (British Virgin Islands) David Frederick (Cayman Islands) Osiris Guzman, Felix Ledesma (Dominican Republic) Colin Klass, Noel Adonis (Guyana) Yves Jean-Bart (Haiti) Anthony Johnson (St. Kitts and Nevis) Patrick Mathurin (St. Lucia) Joseph Delves, Ian Hypolite (St. Vincent and the Grenadines) Richard Groden (Trinidad and Tobago) Hillaren Frederick (US Virgin Islands)
Many of these officials are on public record as flatly denying knowing anything about money being passed out in Port of Spain. Hinds, Pickering, Johnson and Guzman have been particularly vehement about it.
And Jean-Bart of Haiti - a federation utterly dependent on FIFA for every dime - was one of the people who delivered passionate pro-Blatter/anti-England speeches to the FIFA Congress just prior to the vote.
In their press release, FIFA also noted that "the investigation is ongoing" and that more officials may be included as additional facts come to light.
As for Crazy Lisle, he won't be conducting that audit any time soon:
Yesterday in Zurich FIFAs' Ethic Committee, chaired by Marcel Mathier of Switzerland, announced their decision in Austins' "Rent-a-Judge" complaint.
His punishment for blatantly violating FIFA statutes by taking a football case to what they term an "ordinary court"? A one year "ban" from the game.
They also demanded that he withdraw his case from the Bahamian Rent-a-Judge program and ruled that, irrespective of the 12 month suspension, until he does he's not allowed to come back and play with the other miserable slugs - I mean football officials.
They apparently ignored Austins' primary sin, which is that his first act upon assuming the leadership of CONCACAF was to fire the guy who blew the whistle on a major FIFA scandal. Unbelievably, he himself stated that that was the reason he was doing it.
In some of your more advanced cultures, organizations go to great lengths to make sure that retaliation against whistleblowers is discouraged. FIFA decided it wasn't even worth mentioning.
And that leaves aside the fact that the man has continued, even while under an official FIFA suspension, to publicly call for a "forensic audit" of CONCACAFs' finances despite the fact that he himself was one of the guys in charge.
One comparison we can look at is that of CFU officials Debbie Minguell and Jason Sylvester, who were the agents charged with handing out Bin Hammams' loot and getting signed receipts. (In fact, the CFUs' General Secretary told the committee that on the morning after the envelopes were handed out theTurks & Caicos, having slept on it, tracked Minguell down and gave theirs back.)
Neither one of them has ever agreed to tell FIFA what they alone know, but the Ethics Committee gave each of them a one year "ban" (I think most of us would agree that it is more aptly described as a "suspension") after which they are free to show back up for work at CFU headquarters, dust off their desks and get back to drawing a paycheck subsidized, if not entirely funded, by FIFA.
And they don't ever have to say a word. They can - and probably will - take their secrets to the grave.
Conversely, there's the case of former Barbados FA General Secretary Randy Harris who, partly because of actions perpetrated by fellow Barbadian Austin, also chose to take his grievances to a Bahamian court.
FIFA found him guilty of violating the exact same rule and gave him a four year ban despite the fact that, at the time, he was just the head of a small amateur club.
So an unpaid volunteer sued his local association and FIFA banned him for four years but a CONCACAF Vice President sues CONCACAF and FIFA and gets one.
The difference? Jack Warner wanted Harris silenced and FIFA obliged.

Wise Beard Man to Anonymous: Don't be a Dope
Yesterday, after putting up our first response to the idiotic Anonymous prankster who was arrested after slathering himself with vaseline and pubic hair clippings and rubbing himself on items at the Scientology building on W. 46th Street, we received this response from our old friend Mark Bunker, also known as Wise Beard Man:
"Oh, thank god you're writing about this."
He said he'd sent out his own "moderately angry" e-mail about the event to friends, and agreed to send us a message for all of Anonymous.
Here's Bunker's characteristically calm, generous statement. We'll follow with a comment on it afterwards:

BUNKER: In any group of people there are dopes. A nebulous group of anonymous people on the net might possibly have a slightly higher percentage of dopes -- but then maybe not quite as many as were in the Bush Administration.
I look around at work or at an event and try to spot the dopes. Quite often it turns out to be me. We humans are prone to doing some dopey things. I'd have to say covering yourself with Vaseline and pubes would be dopiness on an epic scale and it just makes you shake your head and wonder, "Why?"
But, look, not everyone is going to get it. And not everyone in Anonymous is on the same page. In fact, there are factions within Anonymous. Most of the people taking to the streets and speaking out against Scientology fraud and abuse understand there is a serious reason to take action. Others in Anonymous call us Moralfags. You can't please everyone.
But the unfortunate thing about a nebulous mass of people under one umbrella is if one person does something bad, stupid or illegal that can be used to tar everyone else. The great strength of anonymity and numbers can just as easily be a weakness.
In my first video to Anonymous, I suggested they act within the law and take this seriously because Scientology damn well takes it seriously and they will do everything they can to take down each person they can identify. Pubes Kid thought he was pulling a prank (a damn lousy one) but it got him in serious trouble.
Clearly, it doesn't help any cause and it gives ammunition to those who want to go gunning for bear. We've seen that in Riverside County in California where Scientology has enlisted the aid of County Supervisor Jeff Stone to shut down ALL protests at Scientology's desert compound in Hemet. In fact, Scientology was kind enough to draft the proposed ordinance for Mr. Stone who put it on the fast track and pushed it through a week ago.
When Stone brought up the proposal, he started with a show and tell. He wanted everyone on the board to know just how vile, filthy, nasty, perverted, racist and hate-filled Anonymous is. Scientology had provided him with a Dead Agent pack of smear material from some of the chans and Stone paraded it all out in public, comparing Anonymous to the worst neo-Nazis or klansmen that the world has ever seen.
But Stone is wrong. I won't defend the vile images or words that were on display, but I can put them in context, which Mr. Stone was either unable or unwilling to do. There are some in Anonymous who like to shock, to produce the most outrageous stuff to get a reaction from people. Am I crazy about that? Not at all. But that not all Anonymous is. If it were, I wouldn't bother to write this.
I have met hundreds and hundreds of Anonymous members and heard from thousands more who may have started attacking Scientology for the lulz and moved beyond that. Who understand the reasons for speaking out and do so peacefully while enjoying cake and some extremely long chats.
I look at it this way, when the infamous 2 Girls 1 Cup video was flying around the net, I was sent links by a lot a people, long before Anonymous entered my life. At work, people gleefully shared the link to watch the look of horror come upon a co-workers face. Now, does that mean that everyone in my office is a depraved pornographer who relishes and basks in the most obscene of material? No. Or that even just the people who sent the links are depraved soulless monsters? No. Maybe one or two, tops but that's it.
But that's the way Supervisor Stone is looking at Anonymous. And as the shocking "chan" material can't totally define Anonymous, nor can Pubes Kid totally define the people protesting Scientology within Anonymous.
The people who protested the passage of Prop 8 were tarred by the Mormon church with the exact same charges Scientology hurls at Anonymous. "They're sending death threats -- they're violent -- they destroyed our property -- they sent white powder in envelopes to our churches." I haven't seen much evidence of that but even if a few dopes did some of those things, does that mean every gay person or supporter of gay marriage should be tarred by those actions? Of course not.
So to Pubes Kid I say, "Stop being a dope." END OF BUNKER MESSAGE
Well, that should make the Anonymous kids feel warm and fuzzy, because Wise Beard Man really lets them off the hook.
I'm surprised, Mark. Someone who's been doing this as long as you have understands how the media works when it comes to Scientology.
Now that the press has labeled an Anonymous operation (however rogue it happened to be) as a "hate crime," Anonymous members are going to find it much tougher to get other press organizations to take them seriously.
Many of the commenters to yesterday's posts offered us this pathetic calculus: "Anonymous may do stupid pranks, but Scientology really hurts people."
Sorry Anonymous, that doesn't work with reporters, and essentially puts you out of contention. Don't be surprised that from now on, any press mention of Anonymous will begin with the stupid Pubeit prank.

Barium meal follow through.Barium follow through (Small Bowel only Series).EnteroclysisIntubation ( Small bowel enema).
Parts of S.I: Duodenum: 1 st,shortest,widest and most fixed. Jejunum: 2/5 and feathery appearance. Ileum: 3/5, longest, smooth no feathery appearance, and joins large intestine at ileocecal valve.
A: duodenum C: jejunum D:ileum E: area of ileocecal valve PA 30 mins
Routine UGI first Patient ingests a cup of Ba when UGI series is completed (note the time) 30 min PA radiograph (30 min after 1 st Ba ingestion, usually 15 min after UGI series is completed) Half-hour interval radiographs until Ba reaches large bowel (usually 2 hours) If more time is needed(< 2hrs) 1-hour interval radiographs are obtained. Optional: spot films of ileocecal valve using compression cone?? To separate the bowel loops that may obscure the terminal ileum
PA 30 min 1 hr
2 hr
Spot film with compression cone? To separate the bowel loops that may obscure the terminal ileum
Plain radiograph(scout). 2 cups of Ba ingested (note the time.) 15 or 30 min radiograph (center to the iliac crest "high" to include the stomach, because most of the Ba is in the stomach and proximal S.B.) Half-hour interval radiographs until Ba reaches large bowel (usually 2 hours) If more time is needed(< 2hrs) 1-hour interval radiographs are obtained.
Injection of c/m into the S.B. It is a Double contrast method used to evaluate the S.B. the pt is intubated under flouroscopic control with a special catheter. Stomach → duodenum → duodenojujinal junction. CM: 1. Thin BaSO4. ( Coats the mucosa). 2. Air or Methylcellulose why ? Which is better? To distend the bowel and provide double contrast Methylcellulose, because it adheres to the bowel while distending it
Double Contrast
It is a single contrast method where a nasogastric tube is passed through: pt's nose→esophagus→stomach→duodenum and into the jejunum. (RAO position is preferred ? ) To help pass the tube from stomach →duodenum by gastric peristalsis. C.M: thin BaSO4 or water soluble iodinated c.m diagnostic Therapeutic
