Better overview for the JIRA Issue Navigator: Style issue rows or cells depending on status, type, priority & due date of issues
Better overview for the JIRA Issue Navigator: Style issue rows or cells depending on status, type, priority & due date of issues
Define (one or more) CSS styles for cells or rows in the JIRA Issue Navigator, based on type, status or priority of an issue.
Define (one or more) CSS styles for issues that are undue, due today or overdue. Depending on today's date, cells or rows will display these styles.
Depending on your individual styles, issues that are overdue might get red, issues closed or resolved get striked-through etc. It gets easier to get things sorted out ...
More details
The JIRA Issue Navigator does not support the following typical requirements for project management tools:
- Getting issues in a certain state (like "resolved"), of a certain type (like "bug") or of a certain priority (like "high") visualized in a very obvious way.
- Visualize if a due date for an issue is in the future, today or if the issue is overdue.
icnavigator is a simple plugin that solves these requirements. You can apply multiple styles to a row or single fields/columns in the JIRA Issue navigator, depending on status, priority and issue type of the issue displayed in this row. For the due date, you can define your own styles for undue, today and overdue.

In both manifestos, graft issues take a back seat
It's all about unfinished business.
When Malaysian stock market investors want a clue on what the 13th general election (GE) factor may do to their investments, they need look no further back than the last GE.
The market caved in when news broke that opposition coalition Pakatan Rakyat had made unexpected headway by denying Barisan Nasional a two-thirds majority in Parliament and taking five states, the biggest election setback for the ruling party ever.
Why do investors fear a change of government if Malaysia's economy is such a dynamic, private-sector driven runaway success as Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak often boasts?
If Transparency International's survey released last year on corruption is accurate, one in two businessman already know the answer.
If you don't pay a bribe in Malaysia, you lose business, they say. Its all about corruption – which some people say helps oil the wheels of business, even if it is at considerable cost.
"An overall anti-corruption strategy is urgently needed but it is missing in both manifestos," Transparency International Malaysia (TI-M)'s secretary general Josie Fernandez said.
"Corruption is endemic and its consequences to society and the country are immense and devastating."
In fact, Fernandez said that whatever laundry list economics the manifestos promise would have limited impact if the next Malaysian government does not first seriously tackle corruption.
Pakatan's manifesto promises to free the anti-corruption institutions. "Freeing up important institutions such as the judiciary, Attorney General's (AG) Chambers, Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission (MACC) and police from political control... within the first six months," its manifesto said.
BN's manifesto promises only upgrades. BN promises to empower the MACC through the establishment of a Service Commission to recruit its own personnel. Additional courts will be set up and access to AG reports sped up.
"Any government which is serious about corruption must do it all together as a comprehensive attack and not a piecemeal approach. Most importantly, they must show genuine powerful political will," Ramon Navaratnam, a veteran civil servant and prominent economist said.
"I don't think either have come out strongly enough on the mother of corruption – money politics," he said.
Who is paying for the election show that Pakatan and BN are putting up? Flags everywhere, advertisements on TV every hour and free food, popstar entertainment: Are you ready for (Korea's) Psy... anyone? Businessmen on the left and businessmen on the right. And logically, it's a two-way process.
"If you just become a warlord, and you don't give money, they are not interested in you. You want to amass funds illegally... to feed your followers," Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, Umno's treasurer from 1971-1984 was quoted telling TI-M in the book 'Reforming Political Financing in Malaysia.'
TI-M's Fernandez said that the manifestos show a marked absence of commitment from both Pakatan and BN leaders to submit themselves to scrutiny and to step down if any serious allegation and investigation of corruption emerges.

Once every few months I go through some television soul-searching -- this time, the impetus was my recent TiVo crash. I had a bunch of episodes of The Riches, Raines, Tudors, etc. piling up, so in order to watch them I'd have to hook up the inactive DVR in addition to the new one, which is a bit of a pain.
So I went over all the shows I currently watch and weeded out the ones that I wasn't 100% into. I had already dropped The Simpsons, Family Guy, Survivor (damn, I heard it got good again), Idol, Nip/Tuck, 24, and Jericho a while back, so here are my remaining keeps and drops:
Lost Status: Keep I was on the fence about Lost after the constant compounding of riddles and addition of new characters prevented the storyline from progressing, but the last couple of episodes have been dynamite. From the revelation about the pregnancy problems on the island to last week's episode, which gave us a much-needed look at the Dharma folks and filled in Ben's character (solving the VW bus riddle) instead of going out on some tangent about unimportant or new characters. It seems like Lost is definitely taking the ghost story angle, with the worlds of the living and the dead somehow intersecting -- but we'll likely not know for sure until 2009... Still, I'll keep on watching.
Battlestar Galactica Status: Keep The last season of Battlestar Galactica ended some while back, but it's always worth mentioning -- especially since you can catch the repeats on Universal HD. Curse it for its evil cliffhanger and impudent "see you in the year 2043" message at the end, but the show's still top drama and sci-fi rolled into one.
Heroes Status: Keep There've been some chinks in this superhero show's armor, but there hasn't been a boring episode of Heroes yet. With only two episodes left, I'm curious to see if the show does dare to wrap up the bomb and/or Sylar storyline and how it'll ensure that viewers tune in next year as well.
Raines Status: Drop After watching three episodes of Raines, I felt like I had seen all the show has to offer. Jeff Goldblum is a funny guy, but as a leading character his rambling, monotonous shtick gets old quickly. Six Feet Under did a much better job at integrating "visions" of dead people into the storylines. The cases just aren't interesting enough to hold my attention, so this one's off the list. Since Raines is unofficially cancelled anyway, it's the right thing to do.
My Name is Earl Status: Keep The season finale almost felt like a series finale. Earl seems to have grown up as the show took a step away from simply "going through the list." This season's takes on Cops and Rashomon were amazing -- a huge leap ahead over the debut season. Randy consistently delivers some of the funniest lines on television, but the rest of the crew is equally compelling. It's never too late to get into My Name is Earl, so try and catch up before the next season starts.
The Office Status: Keep Still my favorite comedy show on TV (ahead of Curb, Entourage, and Earl), but I hope the writers beware of "Homer Simpson Syndrome!" There've been a few episodes of The Office where the writers degraded both Michael and Dwight into such carricatures that the show lost some that human edge the the BBC original so flawlessly brought to its touching conclusion. Since most of us work in an office and have to deal with unique bosses, going too far over-the-top destroys the reality of the environment and makes it harder to relate. It's in the

Prospectus Today
Making a Stab
I have no idea who's going to win the National League Championship Series.
This goes beyond my usual "You can't predict the outcome of a short series between two comparable teams" theme. It's not just about that. If you gave me any other matchup between evenly-matched squads, I could come up with some kind of rationale for preferring one to the other, if only slightly. Heck, I'll do just that tomorrow for the ALCS.
When it comes to the Dodgers and Phillies, though, I can't choose. Both are very good teams, very balanced teams. Neither has some fatal flaw in construction that will be revealed in the next week. Neither manager is a dolt; Joe Torre is a bit overrated, but he's shown himself to be a good post-season manager in all areas but roster assembly, and he's even done a decent job at that this year. Charlie Manuel has specific tactical weaknesses that he's gotten better at addressing, and he does helm the best base-stealing team ever.
Despite-or because of?-this confusion, I am as excited for this series as for any post-season series in memory. I cannot remember the last time I was this geeked for a Game One, and that extends to the ALCS as well. We have in front of us a week or two of fun, exciting baseball, and the lack of clarity about which of the teams will advance, the lack of even a mild favorite, makes it all the better.
Let's work through the key points in the series, as I see them.
What swings the series for me is the idea that Greg Maddux will start Game Four, the Phillies will win it, and that will make all the difference. I'd like to be wrong. Phillies in six.

Regarding 'Point 3', was there anything fluky (regarding their HR/FB rates) to the Dodgers giving up such few homers? If so, 'Point 6' about Lidge would likewise apply to the pertinent Dodger pitchers too, then.
Oct 09, 2008 11:04 AM
The other possibility for your key point is that Torre may start Lowe on three days rest, setting up a normal rest amount for Game 7.
Oct 09, 2008 11:40 AM
This is by far the most likely outcome. Due to the extra game off between games 4 and 5, the Dodgers can start Lowe in Game 4 on the days rest and then come with Billingsley, Kuroda and Lowe to finish the series with full rest. I'm surprised Joe missed this and that he didn't mention that Saito is off of the roster, making it more likely that Maddux will be saved for the bullpen.
Oct 09, 2008 12:26 PM
There's also the possibility of Utley/Werth/Howard, which was the lineup in 10 of their last 14 games this year (not including the final game with a lineup of reserves.) The last time the Phils faced LA Burrell hit between Utley and Howard (something Manuel learned to do against teams with more than 1 or 2 effective LHP.) But Burrell was ineffective (slumping) and was moved back to 5th, which is where he's stayed since 9/1.
Oct 09, 2008 12:50 PM
Wouldn't the same logic as to why Lidge will give up a costly home run apply to any Dodgers hard-throwing fly ball reliever (or for that matter, any other Phillie hard-throwing fly ball reliever).
Oct 09, 2008 14:39 PM
I'm a big Phillies fan and I really think that my blood pressure is so high because Manuel INSISTS on batting Howard and Utley back-to-back.
Oct 09, 2008 15:08 PM
Eddie Bajek
What about Maddux for the first inning in game four so the Phillies load the lineup with lefties, and then Kershaw from innings 2 on?
Oct 09, 2008 15:14 PM
Well, we got the answer to #5. Howard and Utley are batting back-to-back in Game 1. We'll have to wait and see how this plays out in the late innings.
Oct 09, 2008 17:46 PM
So Lowe is cruising until he apparently injures his thumb, he struggles to record another out and gives up 2 HR which isn't anything like himself. THe announcers never mention this the entire rest of the game and ESPN never mentions it in their coverage.
Oct 09, 2008 21:06 PM
I watched the game, have read all the analysis today, and yes, I didn't see the thumb mentioned until I read Ender's comment here. I didn't even think of it myself. I thought Lowe was strangely distracted and thrown off by Ruiz at second in the 5th (when Rollins got out on the 3-2 count) and then Victorino at 2nd in the following inning seemed to make him flustered as well - hence, the bad pitch to Utley. Maybe he thought they were stealing signs? But then he did leave another pitch up to Burrell with no one on, so yes, maybe it was the thumb. Very good insight.

There won't be anymore big off season move(s) this offseason. Now, if you're talking about 2014, I could definitely see that idea happening. We could potentially end up with (3) 1st rounders: Hornet's, Portland's (top12), and Detroit's (top 8) and even our 2nd rounder. That's 4 picks next year that we could very well have.

text: Brussels - South African President Jacob Zuma said on Tuesday he could understand why the violence accompanying miners' strikes in SA could worry international investors but the country's swift response should give them comfort. Zuma spoke after a European Union-South Africa summit meeting in Brussels at which few if any specific agreements were made. At a joint news conference, Zuma and top EU officials praised the state of relations between the bloc and South Africa in broad terms and expressed hope for future agreements. Asked by a journalist about the effect of the unrest on international investors, Zuma said the August 15 police shooting of miners in Marikana, in which 34 people were killed, was an "unfortunate" incident. "Certainly, if such a situation happens, it must bring concern, particularly to investors," Zuma said. "I believe that the manner in which we have swiftly attended to the situation, and we are now in full control - that must give comfort to investors," he said. He mentioned the establishment of a judicial commission of inquiry charged with determining what happened, and stressed that South Africa was a stable democracy committed to the rule of law. "I think South Africa remains a destination for investment," he said. Both sides expressed hope that a trade agreement would eventually be negotiated between the 27-country EU and Sadac, the 15-country Southern African Development Community. The EU already has a trade agreement with South Africa. And South Africa, as Sadac's economically strongest member, will have a major say in whether a wider agreement is reached. The officials also said they would deepen their cooperation in fighting piracy off the coast of Africa. *Follow Fin24 on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and Pinterest.

Because the newer 'fat' nano's have been released the older versions of this tiny music player can now be had for bargain prices. Sure the newer nano's have a larger screen, but it is still too tiny to watch a movie or tv show from comfortably. The surface of the older nano's do scratch easily but it's a small price to pay since these are going for so cheap now.

Anybody who looks carefully at the world economy will recognise that a degree of monetary and fiscal stimulus unprecedented in peacetime is all that is prodding it along, not only in high-income countries, but also in big emerging ones. The conventional wisdom is that it will also be possible to manage a smooth exit. Nothing seems less likely. So let us consider the endgame, instead.

Adi Shankaracharya Jayanti or Shankara Jayanthi falls on the 5th day during waxing of moon in the month of Vaisakh (May-June). Although there is a difference of opinion regarding the period of Adi Shankara, his birthday is celebrated annually on the same day – on the 5th day of the Shukla Paksha of Vaisakha. In 2015, the date of Adi Shankara Jayanti is April 23.
One of
's greatest philosopher and saint, Shankara appeared at a time when there was a complete destruction of culture and morality. India
There was utter chaos and confusion and Shankaracharya set the house in order with his peaceful message of Vedanta. He used the unparalled teachings in the Vedas and the Upanishads to give form to the concept of religion, which was still not practiced by Sanatana Dharma.
Adi Shankaracharya is also considered as an incarnation of Lord Shiva by many people.
The right way to honor this great saint is to study his works. A single idea of his, if adopted with sincerity can make you a better person.

OPPOSITION Leader Tony Abbott has refused to endorse comments from his finance spokesman, Andrew Robb, who said ANZ Bank may have needed to raise mortgage rates to keep its profits healthy.
As the political row over mortgage costs reignited yesterday, Mr Robb said ANZ was ''not stupid,'' and were unlikely to have raised rates by 0.06 percentage points last week unless profit margins were under threat.
With other banks yet to say if they will follow ANZ's move, Mr Robb sought to pin the blame on the level of federal government debt - which he said was keeping official interest rates higher - rather than the bank.
''You know, they're not stupid and I don't think they would willy nilly put up their margin like this if they weren't - if they weren't suffering a problem with their margins,'' Mr Robb said on ABC radio.
However, Mr Abbott would not endorse the comments, and said the opposition did not support banks in putting up interest rates outside of official moves.
''I'm not here to defend the banks. The banks are quite capable of defending themselves,'' Mr Abbott said.
Mr Robb later denied he was defending ANZ, but the government seized on the apparent rift in the opposition, accusing the Coalition of siding with big business over households.
Treasurer Wayne Swan reiterated his criticism of ANZ, saying customers would be ''ropeable'' at the bank, which posted a $1.7 billion profit in the December quarter.
''Andrew Robb is out there going in to bat for a huge bank over struggling families, just as they went in to bat for the mining billionaires and blocked tax cuts for small business and higher super for workers,'' he said.
ANZ's rise comes as economists predict the Reserve Bank will cut official interest rates to 4 per cent at its next meeting in two weeks, amid signs the economy is weaker than expected and inflation is retreating.
However, the chief executive of the Australian Bankers Association, Steven Munchenberg, said the possibility of banks moving their rates independently of the Reserve remained.
''The reality is that banks' funding costs, particularly overseas funding costs, are going to remain volatile for some time. That means there's going to be really stiff competition for deposits,'' Mr Munchenberg said.
''The prospect of the banks moving outside the Reserve is going to remain for some time.''

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/7/2014 (1121 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
WHEN it comes to fests, Winnipeggers like Folklorama best, according to a new poll by the Prairie Research Associates.
The poll, which is done yearly, asks Winnipeg residents about summer festivals.
Sixty-four per cent of Winnipeggers said they'd attend or have attended at least one of Folklorama, the Fringe, the Red River Ex, the Jazz festival, the folk festival, Aboriginal Day and the Children's festival. Thirty-seven per cent said they'd attend or had attended two or more.
Those numbers are slightly lower than last year, with planned attendance going down between two and four per cent for all the festivals but one.
Those most likely to attend are younger, or have household incomes of more than $70,000, the poll found.
The poll had a margin of error of about 4.6 per cent, and is accurate 19 times out of 20. The survey took place between June 11 and July 3.
Winnipeg has always been a festival city, but even more so in the past few years, said Stephano Grande, executive director of the Downtown Winnipeg BIZ said. His job revolves around downtown Winnipeg, and he's seen it transition from retail to festival-centric.
"Back when I was young, downtown was all about retail, and people flocked downtown, and retail's gone... but there's still things that bring people downtown," Grande said.
Grande said he's seen events he's organized bring people to parts of the city they might otherwise not go to, using a recent open cinema event in Memorial Park that catered to families as a prime example.
"It's great to see people walking around downtown, 10 or 11 at night, with kids," he said.
Greg Dandewich, senior vice-president of Economic Development Winnipeg, said festivals and other similar events help the city in two ways. The first is the money attendees bring in, which pours into events and downtown businesses. The second is the people who, after attending events, find out about other things to do in the city.
"Even though you might be coming to a specific festival, there are other opportunities that exist that people not familiar with the city don't realize," Dandewich said.
The more people attend these events, Dandewich said, the more people think of Winnipeg as a festival city.
"They put us on the map as a location that hosts excellent events and has excellent venues to host those events in," he said.
Grande said it's no surprise most of the events happen in summer. Even though Winnipeg has some winter festivals, such as Festival du Voyageur, residents don't like doing things outside when it's 30 below.
"Winnipeggers enjoy their summer. They enjoy getting out as much as they can. When it hits -30, -40, people just want to hunker down," he said.
What's your favourite Winnipeg festival and why? Join the conversation in the comments below.

Oakland Raiders Donate Portion Of Ticket Sales to Schools
As a Oakland Raiders fan I am well aware of the public perception of my team and it's fans. People see the Raiders as a bunch of thugs and the fans as criminals and drug dealers. The history of the Raiders you see tons of penalties and "bad boys" and just look at "Boyz N The Hood" to see the stereotype of gangs as Raiders fans. Ice Cube is always wearing Raiders gear. So it warms my heart to see the Raiders stepping up and doing the right thing by the community that supports them.

Q: Could the Volt (and increasing transportation costs from Asia) help bring back Detroit and the North American manufacturing sector?
A: There will have to be a painful period of readjustment for the trade unions. You cannot have a society where everybody has job security, wonderful benefits, high salaries, and then you go to Wal-Mart and buy $19.99 DVD players.
This came out of an interview with GM's Bob Lutz at the unveiling of the new Chevy Volt.
Now, I do think its a silly debate between Chevy and Ford people. But if I really had to boil it down, I am definitely a Chevy guy. I cant wait to buy one in 3-4 years from now.

Wonderful time on the dream: Carnival Dream Cruise Review by KCMmomma11
Overall Member Rating
Wonderful time on the dream
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Port Canaveral (Orlando)
The ship was wonderful and the staff was always very accommodating. Our room steward, Mario, was very very nice and always had a smile on his face. Anthony was our waiter in the dining room. He was fantastic. He could tell a joke with the best of them and made sure our dining experience was excellent. We did the late dining which suited us well since we didn't have to worry about feeding kids.
I cannot say enough about the spa staff. Charmaine, in particular, was amazing. She and I spent quite a bit of time together doing the ionithermie treatments. Ladies, if you have the time and the money, do this treatment. Not only I lose quite a bit a few inches, but I had a great time chatting with Charmaine. Hubby had a few massages and always came out feeling More great. The spa staff was just wonderful. I hope to do a dream cruise again just to spend time in the spa!
The ports of call were great. We only did one shore excursion. The Mayan ruins at Tulum are a sight that cannot be missed. Manuel, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and clearly, he loved his job. We stayed on the ship in Belize for a spa day and did shopping - and drinking - in Roatan and Costa Maya.
The shows and entertainment on board were fantastic. We went to the dance show the first 3 nights. Just amazing performances. The singing and dancing was just incredible. The comedy shows were well worth the trip. We did not stop laughing - even during the racist heckler the last night of the cruise. W did the adults only scavenger hunt - hysterical. The gender game was a riot and the game of love had us rolling in the aisles. Butch and the rest of the entertainment crew really know what they are doing.
Overall, I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone considering it. Hubby and I had a great time celebrating our 5 year anniversary and spending QT just the 2 of us. We met a great couple who we will be keeping in touch with and had a wonderful week about the dream. Less

Study shows Android handsets depreciate in value faster than iPhone
The iPhone has always had a robust market for used handsets, with even older models still getting rather good returns for their former owners. Priceonomics has done a study of the used smartphone market and compared the depreciation in resale value for the iPhone versus Android and BlackBerry handsets. Unsurprisingly, the iPhone holds onto its value much better than competing handsets over the same stretch of time. Priceonomics found that after 18 months an iPhone stil

One character in this beautifully crafted film buys a book entitled
"The Meaning of Life." While we never discover exactly what that book
contains, "$9.99" peruses questions about life's meaning with poignancy
and affection. It's sad, silly, very human characters are people we
know, and real enough so that we might occasionally forget we are
watching animation.
This is not a film for the young there is no "action," no "romance," and little to make a viewer laugh out loud. Rather, we are offered a wryly comic look at human nature, best suited for those who have lived enough of life so as to be able to identify with the film's pathetically flawed characters, and look on them with affection rather than impatience or contempt.
Human beings, the filmmakers suggest, are rarely able to communicate with other human beings, even to express love to those they love most. They are even less likely to fulfill each other's hopes and expectations. It is a pessimistic outlook, to be sure, and rather depressing but, in the end, we are left with the message that love not only is possible, it is the only thing that gives life any meaning at all. Love crazy, misguided, or bizarre as it may be is all that matters.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
The U.S. is dominant at the world box office for animated films, with
Pixar at the top of the top of that particular food chain. And, Japan
paces the planet for sheer volume of animated movies.
So, who woulda thunk that not one, not two, but THREE of the more interesting animated features of the past couple of years would come out of the Middle East?? First, the Iranian filmmaker working in France, Marjane Satrapi made the superlative PERSEPOLIS -- and, with this past week's events, it's worth revisiting for it shows some of the seeds of rebellion that has lead to the protest marches. Then, came last year's Foreign Language film nominee, WALTZ WITH BASHIR out of Israel.
Now, there's $9.99, made by another Israeli, this time working out of Australia - Tatia Rosenthal. $9.99 got a brief, ill-fated Oscar qualifying run in December in NYC and L.A.. It is now back in those two cities before, hopefully, opening wider across the country. *(see Oscar rant below)
$9.99 is a well done claymation feature which weaves some short stories by writer Etgar Keret into an entertaining composite story centering around an "angel" and how he interacts with the inhabitants of unnamed small city. Don't expect a strict narrative and some of its best moments are just that - moments in time. It has a bit of the hallucinatory effect of Richard Linklater's animated features - SCANNER DARKLY and, especially, WAKING LIFE. Really hard to describe because the plotting is so loose that to give away many details both ruins the effect, and don't do the film justice. Best to let its brief 78 minutes just wash over you.
The Claymation (augmented with CGI) is interestingly done, with an oddly effective sculptured look to the characters. Australians including Geoffrey Rush as the Angel and Anthony LaPaglia head up a solid voice cast. And, this must be the year of animated male member. First, there was the big blue meanie in WATCHMAN, and now, a clay one here. Yes, this is an R-rated film - also, for some language, clay-sex and drug use.
* Oscar Rant. As noted, $9.99 played for a week in NYC and L.A. in order to qualify for the Animation Oscar category. So, not only didn't $9.99 not get a nomination, neither did WALTZ WITH BASHIR. But, BOLT did!?? The members of the Animation branch should be utterly embarrassed. What?!! Did these two films split the Israeli animation vote? Of course, animators in Hollywood further humiliated themselves by voting for the lite-weight KUNG FU PANDA over WALL-E at their Annie awards (in fact, a near sweep of their many categories).
I was so surprised to see so many negative reviews for this movie
because I thought it was absolutely brilliant!
Some people found the animation ugly whereas the movement seemed very smooth to me and the realistic expression and emotion they were able to portray with clay faces astounded me! The claymation style was too realistic for me at first, not cartoon-y enough, which gave the movie a very creepy disturbing feel. There are a lot of reds and purples used in the faces that can make the characters seem sickly, but you come to realise that this is a stylistic choice that makes the faces more varied and more like pieces of art than just moving toys. Art is supposed to disturb the comfortable anyhow and this movie does it very well.
I have also heard the movie be critiqued for its jumpy, disconnected plot (it is based on a collection of short stories) whereas I felt that the thematic connections were strong enough that this movie very much felt like a unified whole. The characters are connected by the apartment complex they share and by the kinds of lives they lead and the kinds of problems they face in the plot.
I loved the dialogue in this movie, one of those great works where subtle, very real moments and shifts in relationships are defined by the idiosyncratic way a line is worded in a conversation between characters. I was wrapped entirely in every conversation and each line seemed to carry so much meaning (in a light-hearted kind of way).
The stores range from touching, sweet and hopeful to disturbing and depressing send-ups of life in a post-modern age. You really can take from this what you want- but not because the filmmakers have made ideas vague and unfleshed, but because they have taken so many ideas and fleshed them out in so many different and unexpected ways that you have a whole smorgasboard of meaning to pick, choose, riff on, dissect, abstract and so on.
I don't want to hype it too much because I think part of my love for this movie was due to similarities I have with some characters and how connected this made me feel but please don't dismiss this movie, because it is definitely something very special!
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I really liked this adult-aimed Australian animated film. The humor and the mood was somewhat dark and cynical, but I still enjoyed a lot seeing this movie, mostly because of the animation, which is quite detailed and well made. Unlike other stop- motion animated films, the characters aren't cartoonish, but are portrayed in a realistic way, something that contrast with the surreal and strange situations. The movie keeps a very interesting tone from beginning to end and all the characters are unique and interesting. Geoffrey Rush made a great voice performance as the "angel" and the rest of the cast made a wonderful work as well. This movie deserves more appreciation and recognition. I highly recommend it.
$9.99 came and went from theaters, but it sticks out very nicely on On
Demand, which is where I ultimately saw the little 70-minute claymation
movie (I could say stop-motion animated, which it is, but it is very
much in the clay tradition of practically being able to see the
fingerprints on the characters' bodies and faces). It's about... I
suppose how to live a life, I suppose, and that's emphasized by the
book that keeps popping up periodically in the film- which you can buy
for $9.99 (in the movie, not in real life, I think anyway)- that tells
what the Meaning of Life is... that is, it gives a lot of other offers
for books on how to deal with this or that in life. It almost looks
like a coupon book, which is a shame since the character who is most in
love with it, a nice kid, seems very much engrossed by it.
But the title of Tatia Rosenthal's film is more like rounding off reality, perhaps. It's not a full $10, but the characters do try to make that price in their lives. To put it another way, no one character in this film is quite happy, but they keep trying, and maybe life will have some meaning when they can attain some happiness - or not, as case might be. Rosenthal's film, based on short stories Etgar Keret, focus on a group of people who have some, um, quirks to them, or are just painfully normal. The film begins with a middle-aged businessman turning down a homeless man a dollar for a coffee, and the homeless guy pulls out a gun and shoots himself. He later returns as an Angel and hangs out with an old guy on his porch, smoking cigarettes and wondering what Heaven is like. The businessman's sons: one is the Meaning of Life book-reader, and the other is a repo man who falls hard for a sexy (as sexy as claymation can be) model, and proceeds to shave his whole body with hair - and then takes a cue from the organ-less men who removed their body parts until they were heads and blobs. All for love, I guess.
Other stories are a little more ordinary, more or less. More: a little boy is told by his father to put away fifty cents in his piggy bank so he can save up to buy a toy, but he finds that he grows attached to the piggy bank, who he names, and finds the piggy's smile very comforting ("I put money in, he smiles, I don't put money in... he smiles!"). Less: a guy whose girl really wants to settle down and marry and have kids and all of that, but finds that he would rather spend time in his room, listening to records with his three little "friends", little men ala Gulliver's Travels, and getting wasted on beer and pot. So the stories are mostly by themselves, but intertwine by certain events (such as the Angel doing a test "fly" off of the patio and with everyone else looking out the window), or by thematic context.
The stories have a lot of humor to them, with one-liners that zing ("I found that there's not one meaning to life, there's six!"), and the look of the film feels similar but is original in its own right of character design and approach (and, for once, we get a rated-R claymation movie, including full frontal nudity!), but it also goes for deep moments and resonance, and Rosenthal strikes some good ground here. She doesn't try and over-do the messages, but lets them speak for themselves through the stories. It's genuinely odd, but it also gives heart-felt scenes and passages, such as the little boy with the piggy bank (the end of his story with the bank is quite touching), and it values the power of human responsibility with fantasy in equal measure. If it were a little longer it might really be something great, but as it stands it's a curious little find.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
A man steps out of an apartment block and is accosted by a vagrant who
pulls out a gun and politely requests for a dollar to buy a cup of
coffee. The man refuses saying he is feeling manipulated and the
vagrant promptly shoots himself. Yes, kills himself! This is the
stunningly surreal opening sequence of the film. This stop motion
animation film is populated with more such oddballs. . There is a drug
addict who has for his buddies three Lilliputians straight out of
Gulliver's World. We have a supermodel who likes her men so smooth that
she can tolerate neither hair nor bones on their body. There is a
little kid who gets a coin every time he drinks milk, which he saves in
a piggybank; yet when it gets full does not have the heart to break it.
The one common thread that binds these disparate characters staying in the same apartment block is their deep melancholy. They are bored by the monotony of their lives and are in search of a meaning. We can readily empathise with these characters despite the comic book feel of the film.
The film takes a dig at the self help books available for $9.99. Despite shot in vivid colours, this is a grim film asking some uncomfortable questions about the meaning of life and happiness. The film ends on a positive note though with two of its characters teaching themselves to swim like a dolphin from a self help book. They have managed to discover their happiness. A fairy tale for today's grown-ups.
The animation is a treat for the eyes
Personally I dig stop-motion animation, for the simple conscious fact
that there's a lot of blood and sweat going on behind the scenes just
to get an object to move. You can imagine what it takes to get a
character to move an arm, and you extrapolate that effort into a
feature length film with a lot more things happening concurrently on
screen, and you're likely to appreciate this artform a lot more, with
new found respect for it.
$9.99 is an amazing piece of stop-motion animation coupled with a tremendously engaging story made up of multiple narrative threads, and a myriad of characters attempting to tackle their respective problems in life. It begins with a bang literally, where a homeless man (Geoffrey Rush) with a gun in hand, asks Jim Peck (Anthony LaPaglia) for a cigarette and a light, before launching into some really clever moments about manipulation. It's an excellent start to jolt you into realizing that this film isn't just another walk in the park, and as it plays on, you'd discover its brilliance in its commentary about life, as seen from the experiences of the residents in an apartment block.
We have a family of three, with Jim who might just need his karma checked for encountering really antagonizing moments involving death, and his two sons Dave (Samuel Johnson) and Lenny (Ben Mendelsohn), the former being unemployed and is found to be central to the narrative, and the latter being a Repo-man finding himself falling, and obsessing over the love by new neighbour and supermodel Tanita (Leeanna Walsman), who has a fetish for a hairless body. Then there's a lonely old man who finds the world contents passing him by with nobody interested in hearing him talk a bit (well, because he's long-winded as well), finding a companion in an angel, whom he asks incessantly about Heaven. Then there's a boy who has a friend in his piggy bank, and a couple on the verge of being married having to fall out because one of them refuses to grow up.
The "$9.99" comes from the price of a catalog of books, one of which touts to hold The Meaning of Life which Dave buys. Unfortunately, the characters here seem to be caught up in living their own lives and falling victim to respective challenges life presents itself, and so every effort that Dave wants to share gets spurned, and we the audience, unfortunately, don't get to hear if there are any insights to that. But of course we all know that there's no silver bullet, and the characters here, though the course of this emotionally moving film, learn of that meaning as it applies in their own, with the old man determined to take a more proactive approach, to a connection between a father and a son, to love found and running parallel to that, a love broken because of sacrifices that one has to make, or the lack thereof, and the maturing of a young child.
I guess nobody scoffs at animation, especially one that targets the mature audience check out that Dr Manhatten moment. I've new found respect for stop-motion animation, and for the filmmakers involved in producing this fine piece of work. The attention to detail is incredible, never at any moment hinting that they had cut some corners and compromised quality. Definitely highly recommended, and easily one of the few films I thoroughly enjoyed in the festival lineup.
In a Sydney apartment building, Dave Peck is an unemployed 28 year old
living with his father Jim. Jim encounters a homeless man who pulls out
a gun. He's not robbing him but only wants a dollar. Jim doesn't give
him the dollar and he shoots himself. Dave buys a book giving the
meaning of life for $9.99 in the mail. His brother Lenny gets him a job
as a repossessor. Lenny has model girlfriend Tanita who is obsessed
with smooth hairless guys. The homeless man returns as an Angel and
talks to old man Albert. Zacky is a soccer obsessed boy. His father
gives him a piggy bank instead of a soccer toy. Ron asks Michelle to
get marry but she rejects him.
The stop-motion claymation looks interesting. It gives the movie an originality. The story has plenty of weird touches although it's too scattered. The narrative meanders a lot following quite a few main characters. It opens with an intriguing scene. Then it grounds down a bit. Dave is an annoying character. I can't tell if he's mentally handicap. He's slow and clueless like a 10 year old. I don't understand Michelle although her phrase "I'm not yelling. I'm just talking very loud." is kinda funny. Angel falling off the building should have been the climax. It is definitely a great scene. In general, the story is a bit too scattered and it needs a more compelling lead than Dave.
An Australian-Israel independent animation clay movie that tells the
story of a group of lonely people living in the same block of
apartments. The story is told, mainly through 28y.o. unemployed Dave
Peck, who buys books by post for only $9.99, one of them about the
meaning of life. But we also see his depressive father, his
disconnected brother, a commercial sexy model, an elderly widower, a
father living with his only child, a young couple in crisis, an
"angel", and a former magician.
This is a film for adults that examines adult themes (loneliness, immaturity, lack of love and purpose in life, lack of communication in society), with drug use, nudity and explicit sex scenes included. It also has some surrealist touches in between, that I found delightful.
The clay animation is very cartoonish in a way, odd-looking at first, but very original, with great movement and good facial expressions, realistic clothing and body language. I loved all the decoration of the flats, all the little details inside them, which help to draw visually the character of the people living in them. The city landscapes and city spots are also lovely. The colours and mood of the movie are excellent, and also the music.
The individual stories are great - fresh, believable, and poignant. They depict well the sins and deficiencies of modern society, and the social distress in which many people live. They also show real Australian characters and attitudes, those that you'd find in real world, in your own block of apartments. Raw Australia without sweetener.
The main problem of the movie is the lack of a real plot. In most cases we are just witnesses of the lives of those people, but we do not understand why are in a certain state or why they act in a certain way, what troubles them inside and moves them to act in a certain way - Lack of depth. Only after watching the movie, I learnt that the story is based in different short stories by Etgar Keret, which explains in part the lack of harmony of the film, and the disconnection of some of the individual stories. The scriptwriter is to blame for not finding an element that gives consistency to the whole film and not blending well the individual stories.
In fact, the aim of the movie might not be clear to the viewer. All the part about the purchase of books is unnecessary. Many people will think that the meaning of life is what the movie is all about, when in fact the movie shows that life does not have any meaning, at least for the characters of the story, and that life is what it is. So, why confusing the viewer with elements that don't add anything to the characters or the story line? I think it is a very interesting and original film with great characters that deserves to be watched despite its flaws.
I guess a lot of people went into this movie expecting something more
straightforward and "meaningful" due to its premise. Perhaps they were
expecting some sort of insight into the meaning of life; after all, one
of the main characters does buy a book for the titular $9.99 which
purports to know.
Instead what we have is a delightful collection of interwoven short stories, all sharing in a similar theme of what it means to be happy, with surrealist angle that gives it an almost fairytale feel, but which never detracts from its believability.
The characters are made out of clay, but they're people, and even in their mundane lives, they still have interesting stories to see play out. None of them are heroes, or villains, or otherwise anything more or less than ordinary enough people. They have flaws, and fears, and insecurities, but they manage to make do with what they have to give their lives meaning, and it's the sort of thing that happens all the time in the real world, just sans some feathers and swimming techniques.
This movie never bludgeons you over the head with things the director feels are profound or meaningful, it sits down with you for some tea and chats amiably about its day, and lets you draw your own conclusions. If you want a movie to just relax and get lost in, you probably won't go wrong with $9.99.

A NEW book documenting the history of Cheshire Police has been published.
A Bobby′s Job: Images of Policing in Cheshire, is a collection of black and white photographs from the extensive archives held at the Museum of Policing in Cheshire, based in Warrington.
The book delves into the history and development of policing in the county − from the formation of the first police forces in the early 19th century, through the Victorian and Edwardian period, the interwar years and into the second half of the 20th century when policing underwent fundamental change.
A Bobby′s Job has been compiled by Will Brown, a volunteer of the Museum of Policing, based at the Arpley Street Police Station.
He was helped by police volunteers who give time at the museum.
The book features stories about officers and staff from old Cheshire − when the force area included parts of the current Merseyside and Greater Manchester forces − as well as from within the current force boundaries (including stories from Warrington when the town was part of the Lancashire Police Force).
Among the stories, are those close to the First World War.
A spokesman for Cheshire police said: "The story of the Thelwell family illustrates how policing was often a vocation chosen by families, with fathers and sons committing to the same profession.
"James and Ernest Thelwell both served as bobbies in Cheshire, with James completing 27 years in the Force and retiring just a few months after his son joined the Force.
"Tragically James′ son, Ernest James Thelwell, was killed in action on the Somme while serving with the Grenadier Guards aged just 25, having joined the constabulary just three years earlier.
"Ernest′s death is commemorated on the on the War Memorial plaque alongside other police officers who died during the First World War."
A Bobby′s Job: Images of Policing in Cheshire is available from The History Press (thehistorypress.co.uk/) and bookshops, priced £13.99 − a percentage of which will go to supporting the work of the Museum of Policing in Cheshire.

Republican legislative leaders have lost all sense of shame with their 11th-hour bill to roll back voting rights in Florida. The legislation is so disgraceful it is no wonder a Republican-led House committee debated the bill for all of 6 minutes Friday before silencing public comment and approving the bill along party lines. This fast-moving train needs to be stopped cold.
The legislation moving through the Senate and House is breathtaking for its naked grab for power. The Senate bill, SB 956, and its companion legislation moving through the House would make it harder for voters to have their voices heard and easier for the major political parties to manipulate the outcome of the electoral process. It would ban retirement center and neighborhood association cards from the forms of identification now acceptable to vote. So much for seniors who do not drive and whose military days are far behind them. Voters who moved 29 days before an election would be forced to cast a provisional ballot rather than a regular one. Third-party groups that register voters would have to submit new voter registration applications as soon as 48 hours after the form was completed.
The bill would make it harder for a citizens' referendum to reach the ballot and easier for elected officials to keep one off. It would limit who could act as a poll watcher to political parties and candidates and create a gag zone outside polling places that bars voters from speaking to the press or elections observers. The effect would be to make it harder for voters to report voting irregularities at the polls — at the same time the legislation would encourage the major parties and candidates to use political slush funds to further their agendas. The bill would make it easier for the state to declare a winner in an election where the votes were not fully counted. And the authority to recount any federal, state or multicounty election — which rests now with the governor and two members of the Cabinet, all of whom are elected statewide — would fall to the secretary of state, who is appointed by the governor.
No wonder Republican leaders quietly waited until week seven of the nine-week session to spring this stew of every bad election idea they could imagine. Coming after the large turnout in the November presidential elections, where Democrats voted in surprising numbers, the move looks like nothing more than a scheme by the Republicans who have power in Tallahassee to cling onto it.

Barrel Strengths
Can hammer forged barrels last two times as long as cut barrels?
Also how do you know when your barrel is wearing out?
Barrel strength
Hammer forged is alleged to last much longer than cut or broached rifling. Conventional wisdom is that hammer forged is not as accurate as cut rifling.
When is it wearing out? Generally when your accuracy with a known load gets 2X worse (1" groups become 2" groups) the barrel is in question. There is really 3 basic parts to the equation. The throat, the rifling and the muzzle.
The throat can become eroded from high powered loads. Some chamberings seem to more succeptible to this (.220 Swift). Improper cleaning or not enough cleaning can wear the throat. Corrosive ammo can be a cause.
The rifling can become worn from A LOT of shooting. This really takes many thousands of rounds. The rifling can become fouled with copper. A friend had a tack driving 6mm rem rifle that started to shoot clover leafs instead of single holes and he thought the barrel was shot out. At my behest he plugged the chamber and filled the barrel with Shooters Choice solvent, Plugged the muzzle and left it alone for 2 weeks. At the end of 2 weeks he removed the plugs and the barrel was full of a solid, green 6mm stick of goo. He cleaned, refilled and repeated. After 2 more weeks the green mixture drained out. He cleaned and shot. One hole groups again. Fouling can be so severe it effects accuracy.
The muzzle can become nicked or worn. Careful cleaning from the chamber end with the proper tools can prevent this.

The boat - run by a group called Women on Waves - sparked protests when it visited Ireland and Poland.
A Dutch court ruled last month that the government's refusal to allow the group to carry out abortions was unjustified.
Under Dutch law, no license is needed for abortions up to six weeks, but the group wants to give the abortion pill to women up to 12 weeks pregnant.
Floating clinic
After the centre-right government's ban, the Langernort abortion ship has to stay docked within 25 kilometres (16 miles) of an Amsterdam hospital.
"They won't be able to sail to other countries," said Dutch Health Ministry spokesman Richard Lancee.
He added that the ministry's decision was based on the potential risks related to abortions carried out after six weeks, such as acute bleeding.
The ban was the latest legal challenge to prevent the volunteer crew aboard the floating clinic from working in countries were abortion is illegal.
On 4 June, the court in Amsterdam ruled that the government's refusal to issue the group with a permit to carry out abortions was unjustified.
The group said it was studying legal options to fight the government's decision.
"We have the skills and the experience to provide all the necessary medical assistance for this type of abortion," Rebecca Gomperts, the group's founder, told the Associated Press news agency.
The privately funded group was set up in 1999 and has in the past sailed to Ireland and Poland, where legislation prevents women from undergoing an abortion.
The idea is to take women on board and sail out to international waters, where the group will be able to offer non-surgical abortions. However, no abortions were carried out when the ship visited Ireland.
After Tuesday's ruling, the group still said it expected to sail again in the coming months.

Hazelwood Integrated College celebrated an outstanding set of GCSE results on Thursday, August 21, with 82 per cent of students achieving at least five A* - C grades.
The figure, including English and Maths, is up on last year's results.
"We are confident that these results will maintain our status as one of the top performing non-selective schools in greater Belfast and that it will also keep us in the top 30 schools in Northern Ireland," said principal Kathleen Gormley.
"With these excellent results and a growing number of pupils achieving English and Maths we look forward to welcoming a sixth form of over 200 pupils who will have the choice of studying 31 subjects across three pathways which will make them university ready, further education ready or work ready at the end of their Hazelwood journey."
The Whitewell Road school's top GCSE results were achieved in Science, Engineering, ICT, Moving Image Production as well as Spanish, Sports Studies and Religious Education.
"Congratulations are due to all our Year 12 students, their teachers and also to their parents for their continued support," Mrs Gormley continued.
"Combining these tremendous results with excellent careers guidance and an evolving curriculum for all, means that our students are well prepared for sixth form and the career opportunities that await them both in Northern Ireland and abroad."

"As always, wedding paper divas NEVER disappoints! These cards were absolutely perfect! I cant wait to send them out for everyone to see!!"
"These Save The Dates are absolutely gorgeous. We ordered them in blaze, and the colors are just lovely. My fiance and I couldn't be happier with the design and the quality of the paper. Special shout-out to the Design Team for taking the time to proof my prints, and to Heldana at Customer Service for changing the quantity to my order. WPD is wonderful!"
"The "swirled in style" save the date postcard was a great option for our wedding - simple, clean and direct. The customer service designer was awesome to work with and made the card exactly what I envisioned. I just wish that the card was printed on a thicker card stock, but it doesn't impact the card quality."
"Very beautiful & sophisticated. Timeless & classic design. Beautiful colours that match similar real flowers. The font is great & easy to read. Highly recommend."
"All the text on the card was customizable, and the person I wrote to back and forth was helpful and quick to respond. The paper was good quality and all my guests thought the idea of a library card was really cute to tell our story."

Council approves site plan for new Holiday Park Elementary
The Plum School District has the go-ahead on its site plan for a new elementary school.
Borough council on June 1 approved the plan for the New Holiday Park Elementary School that is set to be built on the current site of the Adlai Stevenson Elementary School off Holiday Park Drive. Construction is expected to begin in a couple of months and take about 14 months.
The Plum School Board voted to approve spending between $13.8 million and $20 million to build the new school.
Council's OK followed the borough planning commission's recommendation for approval last week.
Commission member Robert Kalichuk was the lone dissenter, citing his concerns about security and storm-water retention.
"How are we going to prevent like what happened at Sandy Hook?" Kalichuk said.
A shooting rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., in December left 20 children and six adults dead.
District officials, including school resource Officer Mark Kost, in the wake of the shooting in Connecticut reviewed the district's security measures.
Plum Planning Director Jason Straley said security measures are not part of the site plan submittal process.
Superintendent Timothy Glasspool said the new school has been designed with security measures including a single-point of entry, cameras and a buzz-in system for visitors. Glasspool said the security measures also are in place in the district's other buildings.
District officials have said the new school is a duplicate of the new Pivik Elementary, a two-story building across School Road from the former Pivik.
Glasspool said details about the project will be discussed during a public hearing at 6 p.m. June 20 in the high school auditorium, 900 Elicker Road.
Kalichuk also said he is concerned about storm-water management at the site.
"My main concern is that water doesn't seep into people's backyards," Kalichuk said.
Engineer Robert Mitall said the district was required in its storm-water management plan to reduce water runoff with the new school.
Arnie Caffas, president of Pennsylvania Soil & Rock in Monroeville, the district's engineer for the project, said an underground holding tank will be installed under the parking lot, which will retain about 20 percent more water than now is retained at the site.

text: Quiksilver, Inc. (NYSE:ZQK) today announced operating results for the first fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2012.

McKnight, Jr., Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President of Quiksilver, Inc., commented, "We're very pleased with our solid first quarter results. Our top line growth was driven by continued strong retail performance with positive comparable store sales in all three regions. We've known for some time that the first half of fiscal 2012 would present some challenges to our business given the higher sourcing costs we began to encounter in the second half of 2011. But despite these pressures, demand for our products remains strong in both established and emerging markets. We're also making good progress on the long-term growth initiatives in which we've invested. In addition, we've identified significant opportunities for cost reductions through further globalization of our operations. All things considered, we remain well positioned to deliver both revenue growth and profit expansion in fiscal 2012, the first year of our 5-year plan to increase annual revenues by 50% to $3 billion and to double our annual EBITDA to $400 million."

As measured in U.S. dollars and reported in the financial statements, Asia/Pacific net revenues increased 11% to $74.6 million as compared to $67.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Please refer to the accompanying tables in order to better understand the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on revenue trends in the European and Asia/Pacific segments.

If you follow your doctor's directions about taking narcotic medicines—and you don't have a history of substance abuse—your risk of getting addicted is small. In the past, narcotics were used only
for short periods for short-term pain or for cancer pain. Many experts now also
use them for longer periods to treat chronic pain. You can take these drugs, which are sometimes called opioids, to
reduce pain and increase your functioning without becoming addicted.
If you stop taking narcotics suddenly, you may get nausea, sweating, chills, diarrhea, and shaking. The symptoms aren't life-threatening.
You can avoid withdrawal symptoms if you gradually stop taking the medicines over a set period of time. Work with your doctor to see how to gradually stop taking the medicine you are on.
What should you do if you think you may be addicted?
If you think you may be addicted, talk to your doctor. Signs of addiction include the following:
When you are addicted to painkillers for a long time, withdrawal can be very difficult. But treatment is available to help you through that process.

Small Fund Managers Deliver Big

Formula One is getting a big shake-up less than two weeks before the first race of the new season.
From this season the world champion driver will be the one who wins the most races, not the driver who has won the most points over the season.
Had these rules been in place last year, British driver Lewis Hamilton wouldn't have become world champion.
The points system will still be used to decide who is world champion if two drivers win the same number of races.
Last season Hamilton won five races and his Ferrari rival Felipe Massa won six.
But last season drivers who finish in the top eight places of each race were given points, and Hamilton ended the season with more than Massa had.
The new rules will be in place for the first Grand Prix of the new season, in Melbourne, Australia on 29 March.
Money rules
There will be even bigger changes in 2010 as new rules come in affecting how much money teams spend on their cars.
There will be two options. Firstly, teams will have to spend less money, but they will be allowed more freedom in how their cars are built which could make them go faster.
Or secondly they will be allowed to spend as much as they want, but under special rules that could slow their cars down.

A Random Walk through Middle Land
How randomness rules our world and why we cannot see it, Part 2
Imagine that you are a contestant on the classic television game show Let's Make a Deal. Behind one of three doors is a brand-new automobile. Behind the other two are goats. You choose door number one. Host Monty Hall, who knows what is behind all three doors, shows you that a goat is behind number two, then inquires: Would you like to keep the door you chose or switch? Our folk numeracy — our natural tendency to think anecdotally and to focus on small-number runs — tells us that it is 50–50, so it doesn't matter, right?
Wrong. You had a one in three chance to start, but now that Monty has shown you one of the losing doors, you have a twothirds chance of winning by switching. Here is why. There are three possible three-doors configurations: (1) good, bad, bad; (2) bad, good, bad; (3) bad, bad, good. In (1) you lose by switching, but in (2) and (3) you can win by switching. If your folk numeracy is still overriding your rational brain (continue reading…)

Besides a beautiful, green and charming location with warm gushing water, is also a place with a history from the ancient years.
Archeological findings such as old water tanks and building fragments prove Therma therapeutic source usage since Roman and Byzantine period.
During the Ottoman occupation the building used to be a hammam (turkish bath). In 1770 Jezaerli Hasan passa built the main building and constructed tubs for common use.
Therma history goes back to Homer's age, while, according to the myth, it was there that god Ifestos was brought by the Sintyes, Lemnos' inhabitants, in order to heal his wounds after falling down from Olympus.

A MAN who robbed a Winton store with a sawn-off shotgun before being wrestled to the ground by the shopkeeper has been jailed for 11 years.
Martin Willis, 50, received two eight year prison terms for robbery and possessing a firearm, and a three year term for possessing ammunition, all of which will be served concurrently.
However his sentence was also extended by three years to protect the public.
Bournemouth Crown Court heard Willis, of no fixed abode, raided Bingham Stores in Alma Road at 9.50pm on Sunday, February 16, pointing the shotgun at the owner behind the till and demanding money and cigarettes.
He was handed nearly £2,000 in cash and two packets of cigarettes, but brave store owner Michael Guldede saw an opportunity and grabbed the gun off him.
Willis ran out of the shop pursued by Mr Guldede, who wrestled him to the ground a short distance away in the street after a short chase.
Prosecutor Stuart Ellacott said the money was recovered and the shotgun found not to be loaded – but two shotgun cartridges were found in Willis' pocket.
Mr Guldede, 24, said he was pleased to have been able to play a part in bringing Willis to justice.
"It was a big shock at the time, I have had several weeks off work as a result and I am always worried it might happen again," he said.
"I have run stores in Bournemouth for eight years but have never experienced anything like it before.
"But I feel better about it knowing I helped the police catch someone who won't be robbing any other stores for a long time."
On March 18, Willis pleaded guilty to robbery, possession of a firearm with the intention of committing an indictable offence, and possessing prohibited ammunition.
Detective Sergeant Andy Bell, of Bournemouth and Poole CID, said: "I commend the bravery of the victim in this case. He acted without any consideration to his own safety, swiftly detaining Willis.
"The severity of this sentence highlights that the courts will not tolerate this type of offending.
"I hope the result of this case will act as a deterrent to other would be offenders."
