Chris Colfer held his Golden Globe trophy tightly.
Asked backstage about the significance of Glee's influence, he said, "It made performing arts cool again. [Pauses] I don't know if it ever was cool. Certainly it wasn't cool when I was in school."
How does he feel? "I hate to say Cinder-fella. I feel like it tonight," he said, reports USA TODAY's Bill Keveney. "I've watched the Golden Globes since I was an embryo. I won't remember any of this. I kinda blacked out" after winning the award. "I thought it was going to be Eric Stonestreet. I was rooting for him."
Look out. When asked how he is going to celebrate, he said: "I really hope the LAPD lets me off with a warning tonight. I'm gonna go crazy."

New Delhi: Irked by the pressure tactics of the two continental cricket bodies regarding participation in the Asian Test Championship (ATC), some senior Indian Board members demanded that the country pull out of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC).[an error occurred while processing this directive]Taking exception to the recent statements of the Asian Cricket Council and Asian Cricket Federation (ACF) that if the Indian government failed to clear its team, the championship would be held without India, senior BCCI members said the Board should not hesitate to withdraw from ACC itself. Putting pressure on the government or blaming it for non-clearance would be detrimental to the game in the country, senior Board members said.According to them, the government is in the process of clearing the team but ACF's threats that the tournament would be held without India could not be tolerated, they said adding, "If it comes to that BCCI should withdraw from ACC itself." Maintaining that the country's pride and prestige should take precedence over matters of playing cricket against any country, they questioned ACF's decision to go ahead with the tournament without India."We are at a loss to understand as to how ACF could take a decision without involving BCCI" they said adding, "The venues for the championship have not yet been finalised at all nor has ACF responded to BCCI's letter of objection thatBangladesh should not be the venue for the final of ATC."They said BCCI secretary Jayawant Lele had written to ACF as early as June 20 and so far ACF has not responded with its decision in writing. Lele has objected to Dhaka being the venue for the final and stated that it should be played in either of the countries figuring in the final match.ACF has given time to BCCI till Monday afternoon to get the government's clearance for India's participation in the championship. Meanwhile, the Board members expressed confidence that the government was likely to clear the Indian team's participation in ATC but said such pressure tactics by ACF would mean that the Asian body has no respect for BCCI, one of the founder members of ACC and also a long term full member of the International Cricket Council (ICC). Based on these credentials of BCCI, the Indian cricket administration should not hesitate to withdraw from the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), they said. PTI

LOS ANGELES, CA (September 21, 2011) – The Producers Guild of America (PGA) announced today that producer, director, writer and Principal Partner of DreamWorks Studios Steven Spielberg will receive the 2012 David O. Selznick Achievement Award in Motion Pictures. The award will be presented to Spielberg at the 23rd Annual Producers Guild Awards ceremony on Saturday, January 21st at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.
The Producers Guild of America's Selznick Achievement Award recognizes a producer's outstanding body of work in motion pictures. The honor has a rich and distinguished history with past recipients including such legendary producers as Stanley Kramer, Saul Zaentz, Clint Eastwood, Billy Wilder, Brian Grazer, Jerry Bruckheimer, Roger Corman, Laura Ziskin, Kathleen Kennedy & Frank Marshall, John Lasseter and last year's 2011 recipient Scott Rudin.
"As one of the most prolific filmmakers of all time, Steven's continued genius, imagination and fearlessness in the world of feature film entertainment is unmatched in this industry," said Producers Guild Awards co-chairs Paula Wagner and Michael Manheim. "Steven has produced some of the most iconic films in the history of cinema and we have no doubt he will continue to bring thrilling adventures, emotionally moving storylines, thought provoking characters and cult classics to audiences across the globe. We're extremely proud to recognize Steven's contributions to the producing craft as well as the entire film industry with the David O. Selznick honor."
"David O. Selznick is a true legend in the producing field, and I am tremendously honored to be associated with his name and to join the company of so many distinguished filmmakers who have received this accolade," said Spielberg. "I am extremely grateful to the Producers Guild."
Spielberg is, collectively, the top-grossing director of all time, having helmed such blockbusters as E.T.: THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL, the INDIANA JONES franchise and JURASSIC PARK. Among his myriad of honors, Spielberg is a three-time Academy Award®-winner, taking home his first two wins for Best Director and Best Picture for SCHINDLER'S LIST, which received a total of seven Oscars® and his third for Best Director for SAVING PRIVATE RYAN.
He has also earned Academy Award® nominations for Best Director for MUNICH, E.T.: THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK and CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND. Additionally, he earned DGA Award nominations for those films as well as JAWS, THE COLOR PURPLE, EMPIRE OF THE SUN and AMISTAD. In 2000, he received the DGA's Lifetime Achievement Award. He is also the recipient of the Irving G. Thalberg Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the Hollywood Foreign Press's Cecil B. DeMille Award and the Kennedy Center Honor, among other career tributes.
More recently, he was a producer of SUPER 8 directed by JJ Abrams. His upcoming releases include his direction of the 3D animated film THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN: THE SECRET OF THE UNICORN, due for release December 23rd in most international territories by Columbia Pictures and domestically by Paramount Pictures. It is produced by Spielberg, Peter Jackson and Kathleen Kennedy. He also directed WAR HORSE, based on an award-winning novel which has been adapted into a major stage hit in London and recently won Broadway's Tony Award for Best Drama. The DreamWorks Studios film opens December 28th. His next film for DreamWorks will be his direction of LINCOLN which begins production in October.
Apart from his filmmaking work and his television projects, Spielberg has devoted his time and resources to many philanthropic causes. The impact of his work on SCHINDLER'S LIST led him to establish the Righteous Persons Foundation; he also founded Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation which became the USC Shoah Foundation Institute for Visual History and Education in 2005; and he is the Chairman Emeritus of the Starlight Children's Foundation.
Producers Guild Taps Steven Spielberg For David O. Selznick Award
10 Comments
The fact that any of the mentioned directors (with the exception of those whose stellar carreers began prior to Steven's) received this Award prior to Spielberg, is ridiculous
@Ridiculous. Usually, it takes a while to get someone like Steven Spielberg to ACCEPT an award from you. I'm sure they offered to honor him numerous times in the past. Notice that the finally accepted AFTER the award was given to Frank & Kathleen, his frequent collaborators. That was probably critical to their success is landing Spielberg. Now that he's accepted the award, they'll probably have greater success landing other big names that have declined to be honored in the past. That's not unique to this award. That's the politics of all awards. Good for PGA to have earned the prestige (and devised the strategy) to get the greatest director of all time to validate them by accepting their recognition. Spielberg gets asked to accept and award EVERY DAY … multiple times. It means a LOT when he says yes.
Good point. But Spielberg was probably waiting for the PGA to change the name of the award from David O. Selznick to Steven Spielberg…just kidding. As far as I can see, Steven Spielberg seems like a very humble man and that is why he rarely accepts awards (unless it's an Oscar – and then he always shares the credit with his fellow filmmakers).
It's nice to see Spielberg finally is deemed fit to receive an award that has already been given to his former assistants and employees for their work on his movies.
Apparently the David O. Selznick is awarded in no particular order.
Gone With the Wind (Victor Fleming and George Cukor being no slouches as directors), Rebecca and Spellbound (Sir Alred Hitchcock being no spring chicken in the directing contribution here) are the main credited titles Selznick has as a producer. Of the titles that might still be watchable today.
Most of the stories about Selznick have to do with rediculously long memos and power plays and profiting by renting out people like Hitchcock.
Folks like Irving Thalberg and David O. Selznick have their detractors. Spielberg has actually made more of a mark.
Finally, a tribute to Spielberg.
I forgot the [EYE ROLL].
I guess they won't have the bad taste to bring up that certain matter regarding the TWILIGHT ZONE! As executive producer, Steven made sure he was out of the country making other movies and beyond the spotlight and distric attorney.
Spielberg has always enjoyed and been protected from those kind of mundane, unpleasant things. He's without doubt the richest director in HOLLYWOOD history, but in terms of guts and character… he's no Stanley Kramer or John Frankenheimer!
If Stanley Kramer and John Frankenheimer were alive today, they would immediately dispute your claim regarding Steven Spielberg, You, sir, are dead wrong.
I am not surprised that Steven Spielberg is receiving this special award. I AM surprised that there isn't award named in Spielberg's honor by now – The Steven Spielberg Award. The guy has done EVERYTHING: direct, produce, write, start his own studio, he has a brand, much like Walt Disney – quality filmmaking for families -. I mean, what does he need to do to be respected in Hollywood. The jealousy in Hollywood is deafening. Still, congratulations to Steven for a job well done.
In reply to Mr. Robert Willert…
If actor Vic Morrow and the two Vietnamese children were alive today, they wouldn't be too impressed by Mr. Spielberg accepting a "humantarian" award of all things.
The genius of Steven Spielberg is very much like that of Walt Disney. It is a genius for using other people's genius!
It's not the jealousy in HOLLYWOOD that is deafening… it's again, the lack of guts and character!

The Thymus Body Type
Just as the thymus gland eliminates unknown protein - generally bacteria and viruses - to keep the body's internal environment safe, Thymus body types stabilize their environment. They are protective of their own and go to great lengths to keep their environment constant, generally resisting change of any kind. Judging everything as good or bad, right or wrong, makes maintaining a constantly stable environment easier. Because being safe is generally associated with known situations, they have a deep-seated fear of change. Their innate desire to protect and keep life constant gives rise to a sense of loyalty and responsibility that towers above that of most other body types.
Celebrities with
Thymus body type
Clint Eastwood, Sharon Stone, Jerry Hall, George H.W. Bush, James Cameron, Omarosa Manigault
Thymus Body Type Diet
Dietary emphasis - Ideally protein for breakfast and lunch. but if unable to do so, may consume the bulk of protein at dinner. May eat 4 eggs per day, 7 days per week.
Foods - Lamb and rye support the thymus gland. Best fat sources are dense protein (all), seeds, nuts (almonds, Brazils, peanuts, pine nuts) olive oil, and kefir. Avoid sugar, as it stresses the immune system.
Meals - Breakfast heavy. Lunch moderate-to-heavy, although may be light or heavy, depending on the eating pattern of the day. Dinner light-to-moderate, although may be heavy if insufficient protein has been consumed. No fruit for breakfast. Fruit for either lunch or dinner, depending on personal sensitivity.
Exercise - Essential, as it activates the immune system. Exercise at least 15 minutes daily, any time of the day.
Sample List of Foods for Thymus Body Types to Eat Seldom:
Frozen yogurt, ice cream, broccoflower, saccharin, artificial sweeteners such as Equal or Nutrasweet, catsup, mustard, margarine, coffee, diet sodas.
Full details of the adrenal body type diet including food lists, sample menus, exercise and weight loss tips are found in the
Thymus Body Type Profile and Diet Booklet
Thymus Body Type Personality Profile
Thymus body types have a well-meaning, take-charge endeavor and may be perceived by others as controlling
I am particularly strong-willed, forceful, determined and practical. I prefer life to be steady and constant. I only like change that I instigate. I tend to evaluate more with my head than my heart, but Im not particularly analytical. I dive into projects and bulldoze my way through, dealing with challenges as they arrive. I have high standards and expectations especially for myself. I can be an idealistic perfectionist. I like to be in charge and in control, and my physical presence can be intimidating to others. I need to be the center of attention, and expect others to accommodate me.
My primary concern is to protect myself and those I care about. I prefer the security of the tried-and-true. I see everything as black and white, with very little in-between or compromise. I am very firm about doing things my way. Giving up my preferences or compromising is very challenging for me. Thinking things through takes effort, so I bypass the process whenever possible by categorizing something as right or wrong. Change is threatening to me, and I initially respond negatively to new ideas. I need to be in control, so when things dont go as planned I tend to blame others. Relationships are challenging for me, and go better when Im in control of them. I tend to be more aware of my surroundings than of my own internal feelings.
I have a strong sense of responsibility and loyalty, and a forceful presence. I am able to bring stability to my environment. I have a well-meaning, take-charge demeanor which is sometimes perceived as being controlling. I am protective of my own, and go to great lengths to keep my environment constant. I generally resist change of any kind. I judge everything as good/bad or right/wrong, which makes it easier to maintain a constantly stable environment. Because I associate safety with known situations, I have a deep-seated fear of change. My innate desire to protect and to keep life constant gives rise to my strong sense of loyalty and responsibility.
I am fulfilled by meeting personal challenges. Challenge is often initiated by physical pain. I can be very pragmatic in my approach to life. My challenge is to integrate my spiritual and emotional traits, moving from judgment to unconditional love and acceptance perfection.

In a video released in 2015, liberal actress and feminist activist Lena Dunham helped launch an "in your face" campaign for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, particularly towards Millennial voters. In the video, which is produced by Dunham's ultra liberal blog and newsletter Lenny, Dunham asks Clinton is she's seen the video of singer Lenny Kravitz splitting open his pants and thus, having his penis exposed. The question is tactless and rather off-putting in reference to Kravitz's genitalia but Clinton plays along by showing interest in seeing his penis: "Is the video on YouTube? I'll have to look for that?"
For some reason the media says nothing about Clinton engaging in salty conversations about sex and male organs?
Dunham's interview question with Clinton can be viewed below:

The acclaimed book "The Computing Universe - a journey through a revolution" by Tony Hey, visiting Professor in the school of Electronics and Computer Science at Southampton University and co-authored by Gyuri Pápay a Senior Research Engineer at the IT Innovation Centre has been recognised as an 'Outstanding Academic Title' by the American Library Association (ALA) in its annual Choice Awards.
The book, described by Times Higher Education as "an eloquently presented ... and enjoyable guided tour of how the pervasive computing environment, that we now take for granted, developed" was given the award in recognition of its overall excellence, its originality, its importance as a contribution to the field and its value to students of the subject.
"... with The Computing Universe [Tony Hey] and his co-author [Gyuri Pápay] share the knowledge and history that has inspired us all" Bill Gates
This book is a must-read for anyone who is fascinated to know more about the route by which our modern computing universe arrived: the universe of computers and computing that impacts every aspect of our lives - from our social interactions to our business dealings and the very infrastructure of modern society. The Computing Universe is acclaimed as a highly enjoyable and accessible journey from the early days of computers through to the cutting edge research of the modern day that is shaping computing and our lives in the coming decades.
Dr Pápay says of his time spent working on the book with Professor Hey:
"This is a book that took seven years or more from inception to publication, building on a long-standing relationship with Tony Hey that has existed since the days of the transputer, when I supported him on his Quantum Universe book. The challenge of working on The Computing Universe was the huge range of topics involved. We tried to show the 'human face' of computing by writing about the people behind the computing revolution, yet tried to make the book fun to read, with many jokes and cartoons included so that readers would learn something new, but have a good laugh along the way.
The most enjoyable part of working on the book was the opportunity to communicate with some of the heroes of computing, such as Doug Engelbart, who invented the mouse, Ted Hoff, Stanley Mazor and Federico Faggin who created the first microprocessor, Grady Booch, developer of UML and so many others, all of whom supported the book and provided illustrations and ideas that we could use.
I am pleased with this award, and hope the book will become standard reading for computer science students and others interested in the field. It is a rapidly moving and evolving historical story, and one that deserves to be better known."
The book is available from Cambridge University Press.
IT Innovation is at the heart of a major collaboration, co-ordinating the newly-launched €7 million FLAME project to develop next-generation Internet ecosystems using new technology and platforms to provide flexible service delivery technologies to revolutionise personalised, interactive, mobile and localised media services.
The FLAME project brings together leading industrial players such as Disney, Atos, InterDigital Europe along with smart city operators in Bristol, Barcelona and beyond to carry out new urban-scale experimentation of media products and services using adaptive infrastructures.
The project's coordinator Prof Michael Boniface, Technical Director at IT Innovation, said: "FLAME provides a unique opportunity to explore the viability of new media ecosystems building on mixed reality, augmented reality and highly-localised content which can be efficiently delivered using adaptive software-defined infrastructures in urban environments.
"Multimedia will dominate the next generation of Internet systems driven by citizens increasing participation and use of pervasive technologies to have fun, learn and understand the world," Professor Boniface continued. "Success depends on establishing transformative media ecosystems that benefit everyone from consumers and content providers through to the operators of communications, transport and building infrastructures.
"Consumers are increasingly watching audio-visual content through on-demand online services delivered in individual streams, and new multimedia applications such as immersive and mobile gaming are stretching the current network infrastructure and management systems beyond their limits," he emphasised. "Our approach aims to improve experience for consumers, reduce the complexity of media service development, reduce the cost of delivering personalised on-demand content, whilst allowing infrastructure providers to become creators of digital innovation driving local socio-economic growth."
The new platform emerging from FLAME will initially be deployed in the smart-cities of Bristol and Barcelona with advanced network access points located across the cities and will later be rolled out to three further cities in Europe through a competitive open call.
Between 2018 and 2020, FLAME will invest over €2 million in a programme of open calls to grow media ecosystems in cities around Europe. The programme will allow players from the creative industries, telecommunications industries and smart cities to run trials in urban scale environments delivering new forms of experience and social interaction.
For more information, please see our FLAME project page.
In our hyper-connected world, breaking news is often first reported over social media by ordinary people who are on scene, not by professional journalists. But such news reports may not be true - there are many false stories circulating, and journalists need to be able to quickly separate truth from lies, propaganda from facts.
We have addressed these challenges in the REVEAL project, where IT Innovation have worked on Geoparsing, Geosemantics, Trust & Credibility Modelling, Decision Support System, Visualization, and Social media crawling. As part of this work, we have developed a Journalist Decision Support System (JDSS) for which we have recently launched a live online demo. We have also developed a scalable geoparsing library and a dashboard to help journalists gauge the possible bias of any resource (e.g. person or organisation) in Wikipedia.
The Journalist Decision Support System (JDSS) quickly gets journalists to the right content so they can make user generated content (UGC) verification decisions quicker. You need a Chrome browser and a Google login - then just click here to get started.
The JDSS is a free scalable Twitter analytics platform allowing journalists to crawl Twitter for posts and find UGC relevant to verification tasks. Up to 19 journalists can use JDSS simultaneously, each interactively browsing 10,000's of posts in real-time. Background analytics are automatically run on all posts, including sentiment analysis, fake and eyewitness media labelling and newsworthy claim extraction. Journalists can interactively explore posts, clustering and sub-clustering the data to quickly find groups of contextual posts highly related to the event or claim being verified.
Geoparsing is the process of extracting a location from text. Services such as Google Geocoding API, OpenStreetMap Nominatim and Bing Maps API allow you to post a textual phrase and get back a likely location that matches it, along with a longitude and latitude coordinate. Our geoparsepy Python library allows you to do this locally, avoid all rate limits and use associated textual clues for more accurate location disambiguation. This means you can scale up without rate limits and accurately geoparse 100,000's of tweets whenever you want, not just 2,500 every 24 hours as is provided by the free version of the Google Geocoding API.
Bias in Linked Open Data (BLinD) is a free dashboard to support source bias analytics. BLinD automatically compiles Wikipedia evidence about sources so journalists can focus on making decisions about potential bias. It contains interactive visualisations to provide a quick and simple way to visually examine a bias report whilst keeping all the links back to the original evidence on Wikipedia. Data sources include DBpedia and Wikidata.
The technologies and systems that make up the present day Internet didn't arise out of a grand plan; the Internet simply evolved thanks to the many and diverse users and communities that have tried out and implemented new ideas over the years. The Next Generation Internet will be no different - it will evolve on the basis of experimentation, not forward planning.
IT Innovation is working closely with the European Commission (EC) and collaborators to understand the opportunities for research and innovation driving the Next Generation Internet (NGI).
In our recent whitepaper, we present the challenges ahead for the NGI, and provide policy recommendations to the EC for consideration within future Horizon 2020 work programmes on how open experimentation platforms can engage citizens and companies in finding solutions, activating business markets and addressing important societal challenges.
Experience tells us that the Internet evolves through widely adopted experimentation that engages active users and communities rather than through purely technological advances invented in closed laboratories. Individuals and companies use larger experiments as a way to build the knowledge and necessary insights to verify and validate theories and ideas, and as the basis for creating viable, acceptable and innovative solutions driving benefits to Internet ecosystems and their stakeholders. The whitepaper discusses the importance of experimentation in defining the Next Generation Internet, the impact that European experimental programmes, such as FIRE, have made, and identifies the challenges that must be addressed at European level to maximise the potential for Europe to deliver technological advances having global impact.

Low-cost autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are to scan the ocean and gather environmental information for management of one of Europe's busiest ports using ground-breaking technology from European researchers.
The on-demand AUVs will drive intelligent data analytics to provide the Port of Leixoes, Portugal with environmental impacts in a matter of hours.
The Internet-connected AUVs will send observations to a geo-spatial environmental data fusion platform that prepares data for marine risk analysis allowing for rapid response impact analysis. The trial is conducted as part of research by the European Commission funded SUNRISE EXPOSURES project.
The project's technical lead Michael Boniface, Technical Director at the IT Innovation Centre, said: "Marine industry stakeholders will collaborate to create a new data value chain that builds on low-cost drones and advanced data analytics to seamlessly connect surveyors, marine analysts and authorities. These drones are small enough to be launched by one person and cost less than 100,000 Euros allowing them to be preconfigured for marine applications, such as scour and sediment transport analysis.
"By combining the drones with Internet connectivity, geospatial data fusion, and linked data access, marine analysts will have the information they need for assessing threats such as marine accidents, extreme weather events and periodic degradation."
This revolutionary technology will create opportunity to address many challenges faced by industry operating in the blue economy. From port operations to marine aquaculture and offshore windfarms, the SUNRISE EXPOSURES provides industry with ways to transform risks management for maintenance, crisis and regulatory compliance. Jonathan Williams, CEO of Marine Southeast
To ensure the technology is developed to full effect, the consortium runs an EXPOSURES 'Interest Group' where potential end-users and other interested parties from the marine industry, government agencies and scientific community are able to learn more about the project.

What if the unthinkable happens? You are in a confined space with tens of thousands of people during an event and you need to evacuate. Research and technologies are being developed at IT Innovation to help you get to safety.
In December 2015, IT Innovation went to the Anoeta stadium in San Sebastian, Spain, to run carefully designed scenario experiments to record crowd behaviour during evacuation. With a capacity of over 30,000 people, the Anoeta stadium hosts football matches, athletic sporting events and non-sporting events such as concerts.
Being able to evacuate people safely and quickly is of paramount importance to the security managers of the stadium. The safe evacuation of a crowd is challenging. It requires continuous knowledge of crowd behaviour in real-time and context information about the various spaces evacuees occupy. As result, IT Innovation is conducting research on the automated detection of crowd behaviour in confined spaces using computer vision, statistical mechanics concepts and knowledge models. This will revolutionise current crowd evacuation methods and strategies around the world since it will improve the management of crowds in real-time with advanced situation awareness and rapid response to critical events by security agencies.
IT Innovation led the development of the experiment together with partners in the eVACUATE project. This included the management and video recording of evacuation drills, which provided valuable source of information for further research to be conducted on crowd behaviour during evacuation. The available data on crowd in the public domain is usually incomplete and lack important information for labelling data prior to training computer vision tools. Notwithstanding the lack of information about the confined space in which the video scenes have been generated. Hence, the focus is on experimenting on good knowledge about the geometric details of the confined spaces, camera calibrations and context knowledge about how individuals or groups of individuals could potentially influence the spread of behaviour within the crowd for a given situation. The resulting labelled video dataset which we generated is being used to develop and test our new computer vision techniques for automatically detecting and interpreting groups' motions and behaviours. The generated experimental dataset on crowd behaviour and their safer evacuation from confined spaces is of paramount importance for advancing the state of the art in human behaviour detection.
The eVACUATE project team, Drs Zoheir Sabeur, Banafshe Arbab-Zavar, Lee Middleton and Gianluca Correndo, who contributed in the development of the experiment said:
We carefully designed experiments to create and record complex crowd behaviour in different evacuation scenarios. It was essential that people participating in the experiment would behave as close to how they would in a real evacuation scenario. People received information about their default behaviour and we gave certain individuals a description of roles to play, to enact various scenarios, such as leaving an object down the exit space, moving against or even obstructing the flow of the crowd.
The technologies that is being developed at IT Innovation will help operational and security staff at venues such as the Anoeta football stadium make more advanced critical decisions about the safe evacuation of people. The machine detection of crowd behaviour with added value context information and reasoning modules will be integrated into a decision support system developed in the eVACUATE project, together with real-time optimisation on crowd evacuation routes.
We are focusing on detecting unusual behaviour, which can be flagged as alerts to the operational staff at the venue to help them more effectively and efficiently facilitate the evacuations. Zlatko Zlatev, project manager at IT Innovation for the eVACUATE project
The Anoeta stadium is one of four pilots in the eVACUATE project. The three other pilots include an international airport, cruise ship and a metro station. Our next development will be focussed on validating our approach for detecting crowd behaviour with advanced context knowledge on all four confined spaces by the end of the project in April 2017.

Content from social media sites are becoming an important part of modern journalism to find both news and background information. However, journalists have to contend with vast quantities of data which is perturbed with hoaxes, rumours and deliberately misleading information. IT Innovation went to ICT 2015 to demonstrate technologies that allows journalists to quickly verify suspicious content.
Amateur on the spot incident reports and eyewitness images and videos are of particular importance to real-time breaking news. With breaking news having tight reporting deadlines, measured in minutes not days, the need to quickly verify suspicious content is paramount.
IT Innovation have developed a decision support system in the REVEAL project that allows journalists to visualise large volumes of social media content in order to find evidence for news verification. A prototype was demonstrated at ICT 2015 based on Twitter, Instagram and YouTube data from the 1st day of the UK election 2015 and the day of the Scottish leaders debate and #edgestone being unveiled.
At the core of the system is a knowledge-based trust and credibility model. Natural language processing extracts claims, source attribution and geosemantic contexts for cross-checking facts. Running on an Apache Storm cluster, the software is highly scalable, supporting real-time changes in the data.
Digital archives are gambling with the future of the content in their care. IT Innovation headed to the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Show in Las Vegas in April to demonstrate technology that allows broadcasters and archivists to identify and manage the threats they face to the long-term preservation of digital audio-visual content in their care.
The NAB Show in Las Vegas is the largest and most prestigious exhibition for the media production industry in the world. We were there in the NAB Labs Futures Park (booth N9629) showcasing our technology for managing the threats to long-term preservation of digital audio-visual (AV) content. Risks to AV content arise from format obsolescence, media degradation and failures in the very people, processes and systems designed to keep the content safe and accessible. We showcased software that can analyse preservation workflows, suggest risks that may be present and model the cost of those risks both in terms of loss of content and of money.
BPRisk Web Application
IT Innovation have developed a Business Process Risk management framework (BPRisk) in the DAVID project that allows users to plan and manage workflow processes with regards to risk. These are risks that threaten long-term preservation of digital AV content. By managing the risks we avoid damage and ensure that our cultural heritage is preserved and accessible for the long term.
BPRisk enables users to effectively manage risks in their preservation workflows. Risk management is key to preventing long-term issues such as format compatibility, which cannot be mitigated by common strategies such as file replication. The software draws upon a database of known risks from the AV preservation domain to assist the users in specifying risks for their preservation workflows. Moreover, BPRisk enables the simulation of workflow executions to aid the workflow design for reducing the cost and increasing the value of long-term preservation of the digital content.

A professional skier battled against two online gamers in the world's first interactive mixed reality downhill ski competition using technology pioneered by the University of Southampton IT Innovation Centre.
Hitting speeds of up to 100 kilometres an hour, the top class skier hurtled down the world cup ski course in Schladming, Austria, in a bid to reach the finish line before his two competitors – virtual reality gamers based in Thessaloniki, in Greece, and Munich, in Germany.
The two day, four race event was broadcast live from the Wearable Technologies Conference, in Munich, at the beginning of February.
Despite the skier on the real slope picking up an early win in the first race, the two online gamers went on to battle back and win the successive races, with the racer in Greece gaining the lead and finishing with the best overall time of 10:01:
The racers used a 3D tele-immersion platform and wore new virtual reality technology that allowed them to compete against each other by racing down the same ski slope at the same time. The competition was the culmination of research by the European Commission funded 3D LIVE project.
The project's technical lead, Michael Boniface, Technical Director at the University of Southampton IT Innovation Centre, UK said: "The race was a huge success and demonstrated that mixed reality can deliver unique and truly exciting experiences.
"The competitors interacted in real-time, sharing their experience in a 3D virtual environment delivered over the Internet to wearable immersive devices. The professional skier wore Smart Ski Goggles with a heads up display that allowed him to see the virtual world alongside the real slope. The indoor competitors were fully immersed in a virtual world using Oculus Rift. By using advanced sensor and gaming technologies to create and manipulate 3D information in real-time, the 3DLive platform delivered truly interactive experiences closely linked to real world activities."
"Mixed reality can deliver experiences that have never happened before for people online and people on location. We envisage opportunities for new types of live games that combine digital and real interaction in many different competitive sports but also serious applications. For example, if you are watching a live sports event at home, maybe a championship ski race, you can actually compete against the real pros".

Building new metro systems and urban road and rail links often involves tunnelling under heavily built up areas, where it is vital that any resulting ground displacement is detected as early as possible. IT Innovation has worked with high-performance measurement company SolData to improve the interpretation and decision management supported by ground displacement sensor networks. We developed a generic sensor fusion software framework that works with OGC compliant sensor measurement databases descriptions; SolData are now looking to use this to simplify adding new processing capability to the SolData monitoring system and lower the cost to integration with third party sensor measurement database services.
The systematic use of fusion and models in SolData monitoring system would not only allow the users to get richer information, but would also constitute an enhanced early warning system, and ease the analysis of monitoring data. In SolData line of business, fusion would benefit to all its users and stakeholders. Gabriel Garcia, Group Director of Research & Development, SolData

Otherwise there should be other sorting options, especially including sort by album title. I thought I should edit this post to mention that I'm talking about the sorting of albums from the main user's album page and not the sorting of content within a single album. I was a bit surprised to see that option not exist, actually.

Australian Childhood Immunisation Register (ACIR) has expanded to become the
Australian Immunisation Register (AIR).
The ACIR was originally introduced to hold vaccination details for
children 0 to 7. The ACIR did not hold vaccination records for people born
before 1989. Please note if you child is aged 14 years or over, they are required
to apply for their own records.
Please note
the AIR does not record vaccinations provided through school vaccination
programs. These records are held by Queensland Department of Health's vaccination
database. Please contact either Brisbane North Public
Health Unit
on (07) 3624 1111 or the service provider that administered the vaccinations.
Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) is a national register administered by
Medicare Australia. If your child has been immunised overseas you can have the
details transcribed to the AIR by visiting your doctor and asking them to
upload the details.
You can get a

WITH two more days until Dry July, thousands are savouring their last drinks, including this breakfast television star.
Sunrise host Samantha Armytage enjoyed her final hurrah with a bottle of Pinot Noir on Thursday night.
"Maybe just a cheeky one before @dryJuly starts... I brought a little NZ home with me in my heart (and my liver!) #amisfield #queenstown2014." she captioned the Instagram photo.
Armytage sipped on a 2011 Pinot Noir from Amisfield Winery in New Zealand, where she and the Sunrise crew filmed last week.
It seems she's got the support of Seven workmate and Morning Show host Larry Emdur.
He wrote "We doing @dryjuly together SamSam @sam_armytage ..?? Perhaps we should have dinner and discuss a strategy on June 30th .... #hiccup."
Good luck Sam!

Two Days in October: American Experience
In October 1967, a U.S. regiment walked into a Vietcong ambush that killed 61 soldiers -- and raised doubts about whether the war was winnable. Meanwhile, University of Wisconsin students protested the presence of Dow Chemical recruiters on campus. The demonstration soon spun out of control, marking the first time a protest became violent. Told by those who took part in the events, the film offers a window into a defining American moment.

CWFC Fight Night 6: Mortimore v Bengtsson
A HEAVYWEIGHT bout has been set for CWFC Fight Night 6 in Bahrain on May 24, with Jay 'Mean Streak' Mortimore (pictured) pencilled in for a bout against Eddy Bengtsson.
The pair were originally due to clash at Cage Warriors 45 in London on February 18, but Mortimore was forced to withdraw due to illness.
Mortimore (6-2-0), who'll be making his second appearance for the organisation, hasn't fought since a defeat to Andreas Kraniotakes at CWFC Fight Night 1 in Amman, Jordan last June. The 31-year-old Englishman's only other loss came at the hands of Tengiz Tedoradze in 2010.
Bengtsson (5-3-0) is a Swedish wrestler who competed in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. The 32-year-old lost to Dave Keeley at CWFC 45 but bounced back by submitting Vasiliy Kachan at The Zone FC last weekend.
Cage Warriors still have one more bout to announce for the CWFC Fight Night 6 card, so keep track of us on Facebook and Twitter for the latest news and updates.

"An art fair isn't intimidating. You're actually talking to an artist, there are other activities, there's food… it's like a big party," she said. "To get the actual work done, I spend so much time just isolated. So to finally come out and have your work out there and have people react to it is really invigorating."
Now that the intensive touring is done, though, Ehrlich and Kakacek, the primary songwriters, can begin focusing once again on new material.
Where most films of the genre trade in bloody action and bountiful shots of brawny men shouting at each other, the final chapter in the "Apes" reboot trilogy is quiet. Contemplative even.
By this time, his fans had already been warned by security more than once to relax, yet they thrust forth regardless, likely incited by his re-doing of the set's introduction because he wanted to see more excitement.
The film is stunning in the most human way. Both Collins and Noxon have struggled with eating disorders, and the character of Ellen was derived from real instances in Noxon's life.
Murphy also keeps in mind their longtime fans when discussing the inclusion of new music in their set: "And also the people who do actually give a shit already, if they're into it then that's the real goal."
With so many talented musicians, it seems impossible that BSS could ever release a lousy album.
We don't see the radioactive spider or Uncle Ben. Instead, we watch Peter come to grips with his dual identity and learn to listen to his most heroic instincts, a theme that audiences young and old will be able to relate to.
Unfortunately, however, the angsty high school-aged crowd grew impatient, shouting over the opener's set for Beach Fossils.
In retrospect, it's understandable that HAIM took three years to gather their thoughts.
It's for this reason that the film "Brigsby Bear" is so honest and relatable, despite its rather unconventional circumstances.
Artists roam the fields besides their adoring fans, hoping to go unnoticed because heck, Jeff Rosenstock wants to see Angel Olsen's soulful, sad performance as much as his average fan.
The entire story is accompanied by the excellent songwriting that has graced every Waxahatchee album to date. The tracks feature lyrics that rarely repeat and often do not rhyme, placed up against clean cut melodies for structure.
The sheer dynamism of Nanjiani's lead performance is convincing enough to see "The Big Sick." Hysterically deadpan in one moment, adorably romantic the next, Nanjiani makes for a confident and admirable romantic lead.
But for a poetic film that is deeply literary — it starts with a Virginia Woolf quote after all — its visual style is a splendor.
The first question I asked Katie Alice Greer, primary lyricist and vocalist for Washington, D.C.-based Priests, was to describe their most recent record in as few words as possible. The interview was off to a great start until she said she can't do it.
Nearly half the length of all his other records at 36 minutes, every cut on "4:44" feels essential.
It's easy to imagine that in twenty years, "Baby Driver" will be remembered as one of the movies that spawned a new generation of cinephiles.
The rest of Roorbach's stories operate the same way, sketching simple vignettes with refreshing clarity.

A 5-month-old infant died after a two-vehicle collision shortly before 6 p.m. Tuesday on U.S. 61 at La. 73 in Ascension Parish, State Police reported.
The child, Emanuel Lange Jr., was properly secured in a 2006 Mercedes CLS500 driven by Tennille Willis, 35, of Baton Rouge, said Sgt. Jared L. Sandifer, a spokesman for Louisiana State Police Troop A.
Willis, headed north on U.S. 61, was driving through the intersection at La. 73 on a green light, Sandifer said.
Adria M. Brignac, 31, of St. Amant, driving a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder south on U.S. 61, attempted to make a left turn onto La. 73, pulling into the path of the Mercedes, Sandifer said.
The Pathfinder struck the Mercedes on its driver's side, causing it to leave the highway and strike a traffic light pole, Sandifer said.
The baby, who suffered serious injuries, was transported to Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center in Baton Rouge where he later succumbed to injuries received in the crash, Sandifer said.
Willis and a 13-year-old girl, both properly restrained, suffered moderate injuries and also were transported to OLOL, the trooper said.
Brignac, who was not injured, was cited with improper left turn at an intersection.
This crash remains under investigation, and further charges may be pending, Sandifer said.
He said impairment is not suspected of either driver.

Arrived much earlier than expected! Thanks.
I had previously ordered this product through Amazon and after placing the order, told it would take up to 7 weeks to arrive! After 7 weeks, I was told to contact the seller who said the product was "in customs" and I could have it resent or cancel - I canceled the order! In my search, I found your company, placed an order (which was $4-5 cheaper) and received it in 5 days - needless to say,I will order from this company in the future!

THE PRODUCT IS VERY GOOD. THE SAME QUALITY AS THE ONE PURCHASED IN THE STORE. THE PRICE IS LOWER THAN ANY STORE HAS TO OFFER!

Thunder Bay Transit is the public transit operator in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. It was formed in 1970, after the amalgamation of the cities of Port Arthur and Fort William and their respective transit agencies.[8] Thunder Bay Transit is a member of the Canadian Urban Transit Association.
Thunder Bay Transit operates 17 transit routes in the urban area of Thunder Bay and neighbouring Fort William First Nation,[1][2] an area of 256 km2 (99 sq mi).[3] Its fleet of 49 buses run on diesel and biodiesel fuels.[7] Thunder Bay Transit carries 3,300,000 passengers annually, or approximately 9,000 passengers daily, and employs 140 people.[6][9] The company maintains two transit terminals, one at 40 North Water Street in Port Arthur, and the other at City Hall at 500 Donald Street East in Fort William.
Thunder Bay Transit is the first transit agency in Ontario to be 100% handicapped accessible,[9] and the first Canadian transit agency to use the NextBus system with passenger counters, fare box integrations and passenger information systems.[10]

Public transit in Thunder Bay was first established in 1892. The silver boom had recently ended, destroying Port Arthur's primary economic raison d'être. Compounding the matter was the Canadian Pacific Railway's decision to build its grain elevators and rail yards in neighbouring Fort William, 6 km (4 mi) away. With businesses and population vanishing, Port Arthur decided after much debate to build a street car line to connect the town with the rail yards in neighbouring Fort William, much to that town's chagrin.[11]
In 1891, the town of Port Arthur was authorized to construct and operate the first municipally owned street railway in Canada. The Port Arthur Street Railway (PASRy) commenced operations in March 1892, and in that same year, McDonald and Company commenced operations of a private street railway in neighbouring Fort William, which connected the Port Arthur Street Railway's southern terminus at Fort William's northern town limits into the downtown core of Fort William.[8] Although Fort William wanted nothing to do with Port Arthur's municipal railway, PASRy gained control of the McDonald and Company line on June 1, 1893, and extended its operations into the town.[11][12]
In 1907, Port Arthur and Fort William became cities. The Ontario Railway and Municipal Board forced Port Arthur to sell its section of the railway in Fort William to that city on March 11, 1908, and to submit to operation by a joint commission until December 1, 1913, under the name Port Arthur and Fort William Railway. Thereafter, each city ran its own street railway—Port Arthur assumed the name Port Arthur Civic Railway in 1914, and Fort William assumed the name Fort William Street Railway.[8] Port Arthur added two belt lines to its main line in 1913, with the first street cars running on the North Belt Line October 29, 1913.
The Port Arthur Public Utilities Commission which ran the street railway acquired its first 36-passenger bus (painted maroon and cream) in August 1946 manufactured at the Canadian Car and Foundry plant in Fort William. It immediately phased out the Arthur Street railway line, and renamed its system as Port Arthur Transit..[13] Gasoline-powered buses were introduced in December 1946 to serve the intercity route. Electric trolley buses were introduced on December 15, 1947,[14] the same year that the Fort William Street Railway was renamed the Fort William Transit Company. The trolley buses were manufactured by J. G. Brill and Company at the Canadian Car and Foundry plant in Fort William. The Intercity trolley coach line of each city's system opened in 1947 and was interlined, with operators' coaches serving the entire line in both cities until 1955.
Street railway operations ended in Thunder Bay in 1948. Port Arthur's last three antiquated cars made their final run over the North Belt Line on February 16, 1948 in a driving snowstorm, and Fort William's street cars ceased operations on October 16, 1948. Since January 1, 1970, when Port Arthur and Fort William were amalgamated into the City of Thunder Bay, the system has been known as Thunder Bay Transit.[8] Electric trolley buses were discontinued on September 10, 1972,[14] and the city has since used diesel buses.
Thunder Bay Transit purchased its first low floor buses in 1994,[15] and by March 2007 became the first full-sized transit agency in Ontario to have a fleet that consisted entirely of accessible buses.[9] Later that year, Thunder Bay Transit became the second Canadian transit agency to implement Grey Island Systems GPS/AVL and NextBus system with passenger counters, fare box integrations and passenger information systems.[16]
Fares and passes[edit]

|Semester pass
Thunder Bay Transit fares were last increased on May 1, 2009. Exact cash fare on Thunder Bay Transit is $2.50, and children under the age of eight ride free when accompanied by an adult. Bus tickets can be purchased in groups of 10 for $17.50, and twenty ride punch passes can be purchased for $31.00. Tickets and twenty ride passes are transferable—they can be shared by many people at one time—and twenty ride passes do not expire. A transfer pass can be obtained when boarding with cash, tickets or a twenty ride pass, and allows passengers to change buses up to two times for the price of one fare. Transfer passes have a one-hour time limit and are non-transferable—they can be used only by the person to whom they are issued.
Thunder Bay Transit offers monthly, semester and family/group passes. These passes allow unlimited rides within the time period specified on the face of the card, so that pass holders do not need to use transfers to change buses.
Monthly passes cost $67.00, and discount monthly passes can be purchased for $57.00 by high school students under 18, children between 9 and 12, seniors over 65 and persons with valid disabled ID cards. Family/Group passes can be purchased for $6.00, allow for unlimited trips for two adults and three children, one adult and four children, or two adults. Proof of age is required, and children must be under the age of 18.
Students at Lakehead University and Confederation College receive a U-Pass as part of their tuition, which allows for unlimited trips during the school year for the person to whom the pass is issued.[17][18]

Thunder Bay Transit operates 17 regular transit routes covering approximately 350 kilometres (220 miles) of city streets.[6][19] Most bus routes are anchored on one of the city's two main terminals, and several routes have buses travelling in only one direction, which can result in unnecessarily long trips between short distances.[20] Thunder Bay Transit operates two extra routes during rush hour, serving Sir Winston Churchill and Dennis Franklin Cromarty high schools in the Northwood area, and employees of the Bombardier and Abitibi-Bowater plants in the city's southwest end.
Bus frequency[edit]
Peak routes run Monday to Friday between 6:00 am and 6:00 pm, and Saturday between 9:00 am and 6:00 pm. Most peak routes have a frequency of 30 minutes between stops. Some busy routes have a frequency of 15 minutes during rushhour. Non-peak routes run Monday to Saturday between 6:00 pm and 12:40 am, Saturday morning between 6:00 am and 9:00 am, all day Sunday and statutory holidays. Most non-peak routes have a frequency of 40 minutes between stops.[21]
Rural bus service[edit]
Thunder Bay Transit resumed service to rural areas within city limits in spring 2008 as part of a pilot project funded by the city's share of provincial gas tax revenue. Ridership on both routes was well below the municipal guideline of 10 passengers per hour of service.[22]
Service resumed in South Neebing on March 18, after being cancelled in 2004 due to low ridership.[23] The route operated on Tuesday and Thursday, with two runs in the morning and two runs in the afternoon.[24] The route averaged 1 passenger per hour of service, and cost $73 per passenger to operate. The trial cost $19,200, and brought in only $400 in revenue, resulting in a net cost of $18,800. Service to South Neebing ended on November 27.[22]
Service resumed in McIntyre on June 4, after a telephone survey conducted by the city found some demand for transit service in the area, which had bus service in the 1980s and 1990s. The route operated on Wednesday and Saturday, with two runs in the morning and two in the afternoon.[25] The route averaged 0.5 passengers per hour of service, and cost $148 per passenger to operate. The trial cost $15,600, and brought in only $200 in revenue, resulting in a net cost of $15,400. Service to McIntyre ended on November 29.[22]

Since September 2007, Thunder Bay Transit buses have been using the Grey Island Systems GPS/AVL and NextBus real-time passenger information systems, which uses GPS sensors and electronic maps to track bus movement and devices to measure passenger numbers.[28] The system uses TBayTel's CDMA wireless network to relay information to the transit office and to electronic signs located at major transit stops to let riders know when their bus will arrive.[29] These electronic signs are located at the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre, Lakehead University, Confederation College, Intercity Shopping Centre, and Thunder Bay Transit's two downtown transit terminals, with a seventh sign planned for the Westfort neighbourhood in the city's south end.[16] A test of the system was released on March 17, 2008 and allowed passengers to view arrival times for routes 2 Crosstown, 3 Northwood, 8 James and 9 Junot.[30]
To accommodate disabled passengers, Thunder Bay Transit buses are wheelchair accessible low-floor models.[27] Low-floor buses are capable of kneeling to street level and have extending ramps which allow wheelchairs to board safely. Thunder Bay Transit buses had 19,175 rides by persons in wheelchairs in 2006, the most per capita in Ontario.[9]" Thunder Bay Transit offers a Night Stop service, where buses will allow passengers to disembark at locations between bus stops during night hours due to safety or security concerns.[31]
Thunder Bay Transit operates two bus terminals in the north and south cores of the city. Thunder Bay Transit's head office and bus garage is located at Thunder Bay Transit and Central Maintenance, located at 570 Fort William Road.
