CinemaCon is an annual convention held by the National Association of Theater Owners. Formally ShoWest, CinemaCon takes place at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. Over the course of four days, the convention, which attracts exhibitors from all around the globe, showcases the latest and greatest in movie theater hardware (projectors, screens, sound equipment, seats, etc.) and snack bar goodness (Redvines, popcorn, beverages, etc.). Of course, we come for the epic studio presentations, and what better place for a major studio to unveil their breathtaking sizzle reels then at Caesar's Palace's legendary Colosseum? Great sound, great picture, great crowd!
CinemaCon was quite the adventure this year, and through it all, our team saw some pretty great stuff. Warner Brothers, Walt Disney Pictures, Universal Pictures, 20th Century Fox, Paramount Pictures, Lionsgate, Amazon Studios, Focus Features, etc. The majority of the major studios, big and small, were well represented. Beyond all the amazing early peeks at exclusive footage from upcoming movies (including four whopping seconds from "The Last Jedi") and nonstop celebrity sightings, we were also privy to advanced screenings of Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales," Universal's "The Fate of the Furious," and Lionsgate's "The Hitman's Bodyguard" starring Samuel L. Jackson and Ryan Reynolds.
Amidst all the cinematic goodness we took in over the four days, though, there were five studio sizzle reels at the convention that were really worth singling out.
"Baby Driver"
Sony Pictures kicked off the CinemaCon festivities this year, and they did so in grand fashion. While this particular studio offered up everything from our first look at the big-screen adaptation of Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" to a new trailer for the much anticipated Marvel reboot "Spider-Man: Homecoming," to the first footage from a "Jumanji" sequel/reboot starring The Rock and Jack Black, the title on Sony's slate that left the biggest impression was the title that they chose to open up their presentation with, "Baby Driver"!
A couple of years back, "Shaun of the Dead" director Edgar Wright was gearing up to make "Ant-Man" for Marvel Studios after several years of detailed prep work. For a myriad of reasons, Wright and Marvel parted ways shortly before "Ant-Man"was set to roll. While both parties were pretty classy throughout the abrupt parting, it was clear that Wright was bummed about the dissolution of a passion project he had been creatively laboring over for quite a long time. Rather than letting the "Ant-Man" situation consume him, however, Wright did what any artist would do under such similar circumstances: He got to work on a new film.
The concept at the heart of "Baby Driver" had been brewing in Wright's mind for quite some time, so the filmmaker decided that perhaps this was the perfect opportunity to bring this music-driven action film to fruition. If word coming out of an advance screening of "Baby Driver" at this year's South By Southwest festival in Austin is any indication, perhaps this movie was a better fit for Wright than "Ant-Man" anyway. Word revolving around "Baby Driver" is so positive that Sony Pictures has opted to bump the release up from August 11 to June 28!
The only negative thing I can say about the sizzle reel that Sony shared with us at CinemaCon is that it was only a sizzle reel! The fact that the film screened in its entirety not but a few weeks earlier gave this avid fanboy hope that CinemaCon attendees would get an advance screening of the picture too! Alas, it wasn't meant to be.
Having said that, Wright and cast members Ansel Elgort and John Hamm were on hand to talk about the making of this rousing tale of a young man who uses music to drown out the accident-causing ringing in his ears. That young man is played by Elgort ("The Fault in Our Stars"), and he not only uses tunes to help cure that which ails him, but he also turns to music when it comes to his most dangerous profession: being the best getaway driver in the business.
Wright revealed that he always wanted to make the ultimate car chase movie, and with "Baby Driver," he finally got his chance. Beyond that, though, Wright also wanted music to be the driving force behind this film, and nothing showcases this more than the undeniably breathtaking opening sequence that this creative filmmaker brought along to share with an eager CinemaCon crowd. In the immensely entertaining sequence, Elgort's Baby pops in the headphones and puts his vehicle into overdrive as he attempts to lead a team of thieves to greener pastures following a robbery. What follows is a brilliantly conceived high-octane sequence that could be best described as "Drive" meets "Gone in 60 Seconds" meets "The Blues Brothers." More importantly, though, this sequence is vintage Edgar Wright through and through. It should also be noted that there was no model work and no CGI in this footage. Just real cars going really damn fast, and it was glorious!
June 28 can't come soon enough!
"Blade Runner 2049"
At the top of the list of sequels to great movies that I never wanted to see would be the sequel to "Blade Runner." A follow up to Ridley Scott's '80s neo-noir sci-fi thriller has been whispered about for years, which is weird when you take a moment to consider that upon its initial release the original film was neither a critical nor box-office success. Through the years, "Blade Runner" has garnered much deserved classic status and influenced countess films. But still, this movie has always felt like a "one and done."
A couple of years back, news once again surfaced that a sequel was imminent, and once again, I thought to myself, "Why?" But then I was witness to the team assembled to bring this movie to life: producer Ridley Scott ("Blade Runner"), director Denis Villeneuve ("Arrival"), cinematographer Roger Deakins ("The Shawshank Redemption"), star Ryan Gosling ("La La Land"), and co-star Harrison Ford ("Blade Runner"). I still wasn't entirely sold, but the folks involved were at least enough to pique my curiosity.
When I saw the first teaser trailer for "Blade Runner 2049" a few months back, the film suddenly went from a movie I was cautiously curious about to a must-see! Now, thanks to CinemaCon, my excitement for this movie has reached an absolute fever pitch! Two heaping helpings of footage from what looks to be a visually sumptuous feast will do that that to a fanboy.
That's right! CinemaCon offered up a glorious "Blade Runner 2049" twofer! Sony would showcase the film first. Why would Sony unveil footage from "Blade Runner 2049" when it doesn't have domestic distribution rights to the film? Because as fate would have it, this particular studio just so happens to have international distribution rights.
So after the head of Sony distribution hit the stage to talk about the influential nature of "Blade Runner," Gosling was brought to the stage. Gosling shared amusing stories of working with the incomparable Harrison Ford, but mostly, he gushed about the importance of "Blade Runner" in filmdom. He then offered up an all new glimpse at the follow-up.
Wow! I'm still not entirely certain what the plot of this movie is yet, but one thing is certain: "Blade Runner 2019" looks stunning! There were shots repeated from the teaser. One in which Gosling's Los Angeles-based Blade Runner seeks Ford's Rick Deckard for answers. This setup was followed by a montage of clips that included epic cityscapes draped in dark skies and a quick moment in which a creepy-looking Jared Leto brings a replicant to life. There were also a couple of epic shots of Ford in action, being blown back by an explosion and such. Deckard even takes a swing at some guy who probably deserves it. Yep. This was vintage Harrison Ford!
In terms of the world Villenueve and his team have set out to create, it is very much akin to the world Scott and crew delivered in 1982. In short, it looks spectacular!
Later on in the week, we got our second look at "Blade Runner 2049," courtesy of domestic distributor Warner Brothers. This particular presentation was even cooler because director Villeneuve ("Sicario," "Arrival") was on hand to talk about the making of the film. He was joined by co-stars Leto and Ana de Armas.
The footage Warner Brothers presented showed off even more of the film, and while there were a few clips in there that we had seen earlier in the week, this particular sizzle reel was packaged more as a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the movie. There was even an amusing interview with Ford in which the veteran actor muses that it was nice to see that Deckard's clothes still fit him after all these years. I'm pretty sure Ford made similar comments in regard to the Indiana Jones wardrobe when he did "Crystal Skull" back in 2007, but I won't call him out on that. He'd probably kick my ass.
Anyway, not to sound redundant, but "Blade Runner 2047" looks like a visual feast of the highest caliber, and I can't wait to see it! It opens Oct. 6.
Alexander Payne showed up at CinemaCon this year, and it was a most unlikely appearance. It isn't that CinemaCon is just about big studio pictures, but it did feel a little odd seeing the director of "Election" sandwiched inbetween the likes of Paramount Pictures' "Baywatch" starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Zac Efron and a little movie called "Transformers: The Last Knight," the operative word being "little."
"Downsizing" imagines a world in which everyday citizens have the option to be miniaturized in an effort to save money. After all, a Barbie Dream House is far more affordable than a mansion in Beverly Hills. Of course, while on paper this whole concept seems like it would be better for the economy, it's anything but. At the heart of this story is a married couple played by Matt Damon and Kristen Wiig. After much contemplation, the pair decide that "downsizing" might be the answer to all their problems.
Payne and Damon were both on hand to talk about the making of the movie. Taking it a step further, the man behind "Sideways" revealed to CinemaCon attendees that he was about to share a whopping 10 minutes of footage from the upcoming holiday release.
With this offbeat slice of surreality, Payne looks to be getting his Charlie Kaufman ("Being John Malkovich," "Adaptation") on. The footage we were treated to was from the opening of the film and follows Damon and Wiig as they make the decision to "downsize" after seeing the positive results the process has on an enthusiastic individual (played by Neil Patrick Harris) and his lovely wife (played by "Citizen Ruth" star Laura Dern). What follows is a meticulously detailed look at what the "downsizing" process entails as seen through the eyes of Damon's hapless 40-something. Without spoiling too much, the process includes a shave and extensive dental work. The footage was offbeat and funny, but it was also a little sad (think of it as an adult version of "Honey I Shrunk the Kids"). In addition to a satirical, Kaufman-esque tone, there was a bit of a Terry Gilliam vibe going on too, and I really dug it!
Whether or not "Downsizing" ends up being a movie for the masses remains to be seen, but you can bet I'll be first in line for a ticket when it opens Dec. 22.
Writer/director Christopher Nolan is one of the biggest proponents of the theatrical experience in the business, and he's always looking to create the most immersive adventure for moviegoers. Nolan was on hand for the big Warner Brothers presentation, and he was quick to point out just how vital the theatrical experience is. As they say, though, talk is cheap, and as eloquent a speaker as Nolan is, it was clear that he was more interested in sharing footage rather than talking. And with that, he showcased in the neighborhood of 7 minutes from his upcoming summer release, "Dunkirk."
In 1940, as Germany was closing in on allied forces on the beaches of Dunkirk, a harrowing evacuation mission was set into place. This mission would find soldiers engaging in a valiant rescue operation by way of sea, air, and land in what Nolan calls one of history's great survival stories.
The footage unveiled gave us but a breathtaking glimpse into the sheer intensity that Nolan has in store for viewers. This nail-biting sequence, which featured injured soldiers being rushed into a boat and Tom Hardy's ace pilot swooping into action, was firing on all cylinders. And in typical Nolan fashion, this reputable director is using every filmmaking tool he can get his hands on (sound, score, Imax cameras, etc.) in an effort to put the viewer right in the thick of the action.
"Dunkirk" stars Cillian Murphy, Kenneth Branagh, Mark Rylance, and Tom Hardy. It opens July 21, and trust me when I tell you that this is one you'll want to see in IMAX!
"War For The Planet Of The Apes"
20th Century Fox showcased exclusive footage from Ridley Scott's "Alien: Covenant," the Hugh Jackman-headlined musical "The Greatest Showman," and Kenneth Branagh's adaptation of Agatha Christie's "Murder on the Orient Express," but it was a sizzle reel for "War For the Planet of the Apes" that dazzled the most.
Matthew Reeves is back in the director's chair for what looks to be another incredible fusion of spot-on character work, genuine drama, and state-of-the-art special effects. Unfortunately, Reeves couldn't be present at CinemaCon because he was still knee deep in the editing process. That didn't stop him and Fox from sharing exclusive footage though.
Up first was an entire scene from the movie. Rather than showing off spectacle, though, Reeves instead opted to share more of the human aspect of the picture. In the scene, Caesar (Andy Serkis) and his team chase down a hooded thief on horseback only to discover that the mysterious figure is actually one of their own. Not only that, but like Caesar, he speaks! This survivor (Steve Zahn) has been on his own for quite some time, and he explains to Caesar that a human resistance led by an angry military man, played by Woody Harrelson, is out to preserve mankind by way of exterminating any and every primate he comes into contact with. Yes, things look to be getting darker in the "Apes" universe, and reluctant leader Caesar is at the center of it all.
In terms of performance, can someone give Serkis an Oscar already? What an actor! As stated before, his portrayal of Caesar is so much more than motion capture. It's emotion capture. "War For the Planet of the Apes" has its sense of spectacle, to be sure, but this is character-driven spectacle first and foremost. And it isn't just about Serkis, either. It trickles down to everyone in the picture, including newcomer Zahn whose beguiling, childlike primate promises to become a new fan favorite. And as expected, from a technical standpoint, the visuals in this thing look positively stunning!
20th Century Fox followed up said exclusive footage with the premiere of a brand-new trailer. By now, most of you have probably seen it, but if not, I've included it here. This looks like powerful stuff, the next evolutionary step in this franchise. Thus far, this series has proven to be a re-imagining (or prequel, however you prefer to label it) done right, and at the moment, I can't think of a summer film I'm more excited to see in 2017 than "War For the Planet of the Apes."
Caesar and crew return to theaters July 21.

You can get same-day delivery of groceries, but not a fifth of Scotch or several bottles of wine (in Pennsylvania, at least).
Instacart, the new-to-Philadelphia grocery-delivery service, wants to do just that.
I noticed that Instacart just filed with the state Liquor Control Board for a transporter-for-hire license.
"IA" licensees typically work for larger bars and restaurants that don't want to shlep down to the LCB warehouse for their wine-and-spirit orders. They're basically delivery companies with a license to carry hootch. They cannot resell, a spokeswoman said.
Although a rep for Instacart declined to detail the level of service it will offer, she said Instacart delivers alcohol in other cities. That is, the customers buy the alcohol, and Instacart merely makes the delivery. Coupled with a grocery delivery with one of Instacart's affiliated markets, it would be a one-stop shop.
Delivering to consumers in Pennsylvania, though, could be a challenge simply because it's never been done before. The filing is so new, no testimony has yet been taken.
For more on Instacart, which hires freelance shoppers to go to the supermarket for you, see Inquirer reporter Chris Hepp's piece here.

A new telecommunications network using the National Grid's electricity carrying system is offering law firms and chambers reductions of at least 10 per cent on British Telecom rates for their national non-local calls.
On average, 60 to 70 per cent of the legal profession's calls by value are long-distance – over 30 miles – and qualify for the savings, which can be up to 40 per cent, says ENERGIS, the National Grid owned company providing the new service from this month.
The service is provided to firms with at least three lines, with a quarterly telephone bill of a minimum of u250 per line, and make a large number of long-distance calls.
Firms in any part of the country can install the ENERGIS system without any subscription or installation charge.
All customers have a "box" which automatically identifies long-distance calls to be routed via the network of fibre-optic cable attached to the electricity pylon and other transmission systems. International calls can be put through the system and receive a discount of at least five per cent.
The service also provides practices with a series of monthly management reports, analysing calls between local, national and international, and showing the average costs of calls and details of most frequently dialled numbers.
Other reports show the pattern of calls, including those not answered, throughout the course of the day. Switchboard performance is also analysed, showing the numbers of calls answered within periods of seconds, including those not answered at all.
By the end of the year, the National Grid estimates it will have spent u250 million on the ENERGIS system. In the capital use is made of London Underground's cabling network.

There are many different tools to use data to improve content efficacy. However, most marketers waste time and resources trying to acquire every new gadget in the ever-expanding MarTech stack. In practice, data analytics begins at the simplest level with the simplest tools.
- Get an Idea First
- Know Your Best Customers
- Contact Your Customers
- Data Analytics
- Conduct a Survey
- Google Analytics
- Social Section
Get an Idea First:
The majority of content marketing campaigns are just not very good. The single biggest factor is the use of data. Content is graded on 2 factors:
- Ability to reach the intended audience
- Quality of the information (relevance and accuracy)
Classify Your Best Customers
If you don't know where to find your target audience, or if your content is reaching the intended audience, look close to home. Any content marketing campaign should be oriented around its current customer base first. All the answers come from the data in your CRM. Analyze your current customers and identify trends from that data. Key metrics to pay attention to include:
- Company Size
- # of Employees
- # of Records
- Company Industry
- Renewal Rate & Customer History (how long a customer has been with your company)
These are just a few simple standards to measure your customers. Categorize your customers, and grade them on a spectrum. For example, do companies with 10-50 employees buy more than companies with 50-100 employees? More detailed analysis of your CRM data is enabled with the use of specific data quality tools, but this basic analysis is a good place to start.
Contact Your Customers
After you've determined the customer profile to address, the next step is learning what content performs best with those current customers (quality of the information). Once again, start with the customers you already have!
Call your customers personally to get personal insights. This approach is not extensive, but the information you will learn from speaking to customers directly will be precise. Not to mention your customer base will appreciate the gesture.
Data Analytics:
You don't know what you don't know. This is pretty much the case for businesses that are not data-driven. In fact, roughly 90% of businesses fail because they don't know their target audience. Data provides the necessary information to track the performance of your current content, and provides key insights on how to improve.
Conduct a Survey
Similar to calling your customers directly, a survey will provide insights from your current customer base. However, a survey is more extensive and you can extrapolate empirical insights from the meta data provided by a survey. Use a free online tool, like SurveyMonkey, and ask your customers:
- Which content was most helpful? Least helpful?
- What type of content would you like to see more of?
- What is your biggest challenge or problem?
- What interests you most?
The results of a survey can be compiled into statistical evidence. Incentivize your customers to participate, and the results will be informative. If 60% of your current customers report that your demo videos are not helpful you know there is a problem with the content of the videos.
Use Google Analytics
The foundation of content marketing is finding the most targeted audience, with the most specific content. In this regard, less audience is a better audience. Data is the tool to distill a general target audience into the most precise customer profile. Supplement preliminary empirical evidence from a survey, with decisive statistical evidence. Google Analytics provides coherent, easy to understand reports from data.
These are just some questions about your website and content answerable with Google Analytics:
- How many people visit the website?
- Where do my visitors live?
- What websites send traffic to my website?
- How is my content being interacted with?
- What content marketing tactics drive the most traffic?
- Which pages on my website are most popular?
- How many visitors have we converted into leads or customers?
- Which blog content do my visitors like the most?
All of these questions are answerable through different tools in Analytics. Look for another blog post on how to get the most out of Google Analytics. But for now, lets address some helpful tools in the Social section.
Google Analytics: Social
The Social section will provide insights on the impact social media is having on your content marketing efforts. Discover who is talking about your content, where content is shared, and what action is taken after the audience finds your content. Click on the Social section for options from a drop down menu:
- Data Hub Activity: how people are engaging with website content on social media
- Add to people to your social network that have shared your content regularly
- Find influencers and target them
- Landing Pages: engagement metrics for each URL (page views, # of pages visited, time spent on page)
- Landing page reports show you the content that performed best on social media.
- How engaged the visitor was by your content (duration)
- Track social ad campaigns
- Track content that gets engagement (content that generates shares)
- Trackbacks: list of sites that are linking to your website
- Pages linked to the most
- See what content is most popular
- Find the right audience (if your blog is popular with other marketing blogs, you know to target marketers)
All of these tools are extremely helpful to diagnose the current location of your audience. See what type of content performs best, who is looking at certain types of content, similar sites to your content, how the user interacts with your content, user history… Learn from these results and change your content accordingly.
Google Analytics is a perfect introduction to using data for content marketing returns, because the platform is readily available and easy to use. Start simple and become more effective. There is literally no end to the intuitions gained by becoming data driven. The trick is to start right now!

Sell-Through Up 8% in First Seven Days for New Record on HD Console Generation
Madden NFL 13 Games Played and DAU at Their Highest Rates Ever Recorded
Electronic Arts Inc., (NASDAQ: EA) announced today that Madden NFL 13 continues its record-setting launch performance with new records for both sales and fan engagement through its first seven days at retail (Aug. 28-Sept. 3). Based on internal estimates, sell-through for Madden NFL 13 was up 8 percent year-over-year on HD platforms with more than 1.65M units sold in Week One to mark its best start ever on this console generation. Last week, EA announced that Madden NFL 13 had set a new Day One record on HD consoles as well.
Fans also continued to play Madden NFL 13 in record numbers. In the first week following retail launch, there was a 31 percent increase in the number of online games played year over year with more than 24M contests recorded. That's the equivalent of a staggering 47,000 NFL regular seasons in just seven days, and, on Labor Day alone, an average of 3,000 Madden NFL 13 games were started every minute.
In addition, Daily Average User (DAU) rates on HD consoles have increased 14 percent over last year, shattering previous franchise records.
"We're thrilled to see the great momentum continuing on Madden NFL 13," said Andrew Wilson, Executive Vice President of EA SPORTS. "The overwhelming feedback is that this is the best Madden NFL game in a generation. Fans are competing in record numbers, and we expect that type of engagement to only grow with the start of the NFL regular season last night, as fans connect with their favorite teams and players through our game."
"We have seen strong demand for Madden NFL 13 leading up to launch and through its first week on store shelves," said Bob McKenzie, SVP of Merchandising, GameStop. "Critic reviews are strong and the buzz from the Madden fan base is more robust than I've ever seen. We've seen this consumer momentum sustain throughout week one and we expect it to continue into the fall and holiday season."
Among the additional notable accomplishments for Madden NFL 13 in its first week at retail:
- There were more than 1.4M fans who connected online last week.
- There were more than 702K unique visitors to the enhanced Madden Ultimate Team mode. Fans opened more than 2.6M packs and competed in more than 2.2M challenges.
- There were more than 1.3M unique visitors to Madden NFL Facebook page and 450K Madden mentions on Twitter.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of Vrn genes on flowering and maturity times and important agronomic traits in a set of reciprocal whole-chromosome substitution lines and eight western Canadian spring wheat cultivars of known Vrn genes, grown over three seeding dates in Alberta, Canada over 2 yr. The genotype carrying spring habit alleles at Vrn-A1, Vrn-B1, and Vrn-D5 flowered and matured the earliest, and had the highest grain protein content but the lowest grain yield. Genotypes with spring habit alleles Vrn-A1 and Vrn-B1 were early maturing and high yielding. Genotypes with the spring habit Vrn-D5 allele either singly or in combination with Vrn-A1 were late maturing. The spring habit allele of Vrn-A1 was not completely epistatic to Vrn-B1 and Vrn-D5 for flowering or maturity time. The spring habit allele of Vrn-B1, however, was epistatic to that of Vrn-D5 for these traits. In northern wheat growing regions, breeding preference should be given to Vrn genotypes with three spring habit alleles or those with spring habit alleles of Vrn-A1 and Vrn-B1 Genotypes carrying spring habit Vrn-D5 allele singly or in combination with Vrn-A1 should be planted as early in the growing season as possible to realize their full yield potential.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

For Ceejay Lovejoy, life in Perfect, Indiana, has been anything but. Abandoned by her parents and left pregnant by her boyfriend, Ceejay has had to fight every step of the way to carve out a future for herself and her daughter. She swears off men for good - until the day Noah Langford appears on her doorstep.
Noah narrowly survived the roadside bombing in Iraq that cost him his leg, returning home to the news that his stepbrother, Matt, has died in a car accident. It is the final blow to Noah's shattered soul - until he learns about the girlfriend and baby Matt abandoned. Suddenly Noah has a new mission: to make amends with the family his brother rejected.
From the moment he meets Ceejay, her beauty and warmth act like a balm on his fractured heart. But when a painful secret comes to light, it threatens to break the fragile bond growing between them...and to destroy a love powerful enough to heal them both.

An Excellent Story. Wonderful Characters.
Using the Kindle edition and the audio edition at the same time is good listening practice as I adjust to my new Cochlear Implant. When both are downloaded to the Kindle Fire, they can be used simultaneously.
Noah. He is working at making his life better on his own. He is not waiting for someone else to make things easier for him.
She is an excellent reader. As mentioned, in my case, it gave me the chance to both hear and read the words at the same time. I find when I read, I mentally put expression into the words I am reading and it was nice for her to provide that for me.
My heart hurt for Ceejay, that she couldn't trust.
It was a timely, excellent story. I was disappointed in the frequent use of bad language throughout the book. It added absolutely nothing to the story, and I would have enjoyed it even more without the bad language. I won't recommend it to my friends because of that. I like the story and have bought the next in the series to continue practice for the Cochlear Implant, but again, I can't recommend the next one to anyone who is offended by such language, for the same reason.

Winner of the Johannesburg Sunday Times Alan Paton Prize for Nonfiction
Discover a people's enduring power through the inspiring life of a fascinating woman.
Critical acclaim for The Calling of Katie Makanya
"A very marvelous and precious document. . . . It is a magnificent story superbly told. The combination of Katie's extraordinary life and McCord's immense talent as a storyteller is overwhelming. I found it compulsive reading and deeply moving." Athol Fugard.
"I fell in love with the Delaney sisters, enjoying both the book and the play. It is good to know their sister in Africa also has her say, that Katie's life, too, can be shared." Nikki Giovanni.
"To know the story of Katie Makanya is to feel the pain and promise of life for blacks in South Africa for generations." Detroit Free Press.
"Emotionally compelling, resonantly detailed, and of extraordinary cultural significance." Kirkus Reviews.
This life story of a black South African woman who died in 1955 at age 83 recently won major prizes in South Africa. Indeed, for South African readers, Makanya's story restores dignity and identity to a generation-and gender-of South Africans often ignored by history; moreover, the tale is told loyally and lovingly by the daughter of the white doctor for whom Katie toiled diligently as an interpreter. However, American audiences undeterred by the book's style-which is full of novelistic dialogue-may find it interesting but less compelling, as the emphasis on narrative sacrifices some context. At 17, Katie went to England with a black choir for more than two years, and despite the racism she encountered, emerged strengthened after meeting a black West African woman who ridiculed a white minister's prejudiced explanation of racial difference. Back in South Africa, her story encompasses courtship, marriage, family life and a career as a translator between African languages (and traditions) and the English of white South Africa. Even before the racist laws were intensified under apartheid in 1948, Makanya and other Africans protested unjust laws such as the pass system and formed a women's group to organize the black community. Thus this unheralded woman brims with a sense of justice. (Mar.)

Inger Johanne Rasmussen
b. 1958
"Like most girls of my generation, I grew up learning to sew and knit and I remember loving it. Therefore I see my development as an artist as a long uninterrupted line, from my first cross stitch monogram at aged five, to today, when I sit with my needle and thread five decades later. For me, the artistic process involves choosing one of my many favorite patterns and entering into a dialogue with it, enhancing and modifying it, playing with colour and dimension, ultimately finding space for my own stories during the working process."
Inger Johanne Rasmussen is one of Norway's most prolific textile artists renowned for her large-scale textile works. Inspired by the Bizarre style (applied in the early 17th century to small textile patterns and sampling) and the Swedish abstract painter Hilma af Klint, she continuously references ancient textile traditions to express a contemporary narrative. Her work spans a broad visual range in terms of motif, colour, tone and pattern through which she creates her unique pictorial stories. Everything is hand-stitched while the artist herself dyes most of the fabrics.
Her subject matter varies from the purely abstract to poetic floral compositions comprising ornaments, flowers, leaves, and geometrical figures.
Inger Johanne Rasmussen lives and works in Oslo.
Her work is held in several national public collections in Norway including the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design and the Oslo Museum of Decorative Art while she has completed commissions for Norwegian embassies in Buenos Aires, Singapore and Riga. She has also exhibited her work in Japan, Poland, England, Thailand and Germany.

For the second time in two nights, my brain failed me but my heart ended up happy. When U.S. Soccer coach Bob Bradley put Freddy Adu in their Gold Cup semifinal against Panama with a half-hour left, I was furious. But the former phenom was a complete game-changer in the win, and may have resurrected his career in 30 minutes. Also, the Nats got to .500!
Ever since I first saw "The Godfather," I've always assumed that being on the run is part of being a mobster. Whether it's in a rustic village in Italy or a crappy warehouse with a bunch of mattresses, escapability is key to organized crime. James "Whitey" Bulger, the ruthless Boston gangster who was partially an inspiration for "The Departed," was one of the most elusive ever. The 81-year-old was finally caught after 16 years on the run, chilling in Santa Monica, Calif. Needless to say, his girlfriend described him as having a "rage issue."
Every once in a while, there's a story that some might describe as "journalism for journalists." When news broke that former Washington Post reporter Jose Antonio Vargas had revealed that he was an undocumented immigrant, it set off a wave of questions around the building. How did he get hired? Who else knew? Why didn't The Post run the story? Will he be deported? The Post's Paul Farhi does his best to answer all the questions.
For my money, this year has the weakest NBA Draft class I can remember in some time. When the league's annual selection of amateur players goes down tonight at Prudential Center in Newark, you're going to watch a bunch of guys you've never heard of walk across the stage. The Wizards have the sixth pick as of right now, and The Post's Mike Wise thinks they should go foreign. Also, Wizards' Insider Michael Lee points out how Kentucky point guard Brandon Knight could be the key to the team's draft.

• Here's some simple math. The George Washington University is one of the most expensive undergraduate colleges in America. Its president, Steve Knapp, is now one of only 30 people in his job who make $1 million a year.

Unanswered: Having Trouble woth subforms can anyone help
I have created a main form and two subforms. On both of the subforms I am looking up name data based on a numeric id from a different table. When I look at the subforms independantly from the main table they lookup the name data correctly. When I drag them into the main table I get the #NAME? error message.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

#NAME? means that the data source is not valid/available/found.
Is the data source for the main form related to the data sources for the sub forms? Have you set up parent/child relationships between the main form and the sub forms?10% of magic is knowing something that no-one else does. The rest is misdirection.

I suspect the 'name data' is not present in the recordsource for the 'main table' but is present in the subform
a solution is to specify that the 'name data' comes from the sub form
set the ropwsource appropriately. EG:-
= forms!mysubform!wahtevryounamedataiscalled
it does beg the question why you want to store data in a sub table, but then show it in the 'parent table'I'd rather be riding on the Tiger 800 or the Norton

Words of Wisdom by Swami Satchidananda
Expand Messages
- Going Deep in Meditation
"Many people disturb their meditation. They don't
seem to go deep in their meditation because they
expect something to happen immediately. They wait
for certain visions, or whatever things they've
read about in a book. The moment they close their
eyes, `Oh, this must happen, that must happen,
I read it in the book.' So they put up a barrier,
they become tense and the very tension disturbs
the meditation. That's why, even in the name of
meditation, you should not have any expectation.
Let it come, do your practice and leave the rest
to happen. Just pour the water on the seed you've
planted and leave it. The root will grow in time.
We should not disturb it. Our very expectation, our
haste in getting the root and the fruit, disturbs the seed.
"God bless you. OM Shanti, Shanti, Shanti."
- "When even one virtue becomes our nature, the mind becomes clean and tranquil. Then there is no need to practice meditation; we will automatically be meditating always."

Critics Must Join Progressive Muslims For Effective change
My articles are based on a hermeneutic that is religiously plural, atheist inclusive and LGBTQ affirming. Yet, time and again, I have received strong responses from those critical of faith and Islam. Ignoring socio-economic and political factors, the critics simplistically blame all the ills in the Muslim world on Islam.

Facebook party knife chaos after 300 revellers gatecrash birthday gathering
A DAD has warned of the dangers of Facebook after his teenage daughter's birthday party spiralled into a violent street brawl.
Benedicte Mbeka decided to throw a house party to celebrate her 16th birthday and like many teenagers advertised the event to friends on Facebook.
But the innocent get-together descended into 'a scene out of Project X' after the invite went viral and 300 teenagers, some armed with 10-inch knives, descended on the quiet East London street.
Benedicte's 46-year-old dad Seki said: "My daughter was having her 16th birthday party but she put an invite on the Facebook.
"It just got out of hand. Lots of people turned up after seeing it online.
"It was fine inside but they were fighting on the street and the police had to be called.
"I would warn any parent against letting their child put a party up on the internet.
"We will not be having anymore parties at this house."
"It was like a scene out of Project X."A neighbour
Frightened neighbours took shelter in their homes as their road was besieged by knife-wielding youths.
Police recovered three large blades from teens during the violence, including a 10-inch hunting knife.
A 15-year-old schoolboy was arrested for assaulting a police officer, while a 17-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon.
Over-flowing bin bags now surround the terraced property in Oxlow Lane, Dagenham after a major clean-up operation by Mr Mbeka and his family.
Neighbour Karen Lloyd, 54, said: "There were hundreds of teenagers just swarming into the street.
"It was very frightening.
"I saw one girl - she couldn't have been more than 13 - she was just screaming for help.
"I've lived here for 29 years.
"It used to be a nice quiet lane but now it seems every week something's happening."
One neighbour likened the carnage to a scene from 2012 film, Project X, in which high school students hold an out-of-control house party.
The 25-year-old man, who asked not to be named, said: "It was like a scene out of Project X.
"There were people outside at 11am that morning but it started getting out of hand at around 10pm.
"Everybody was just piling out into the street.
"The police were struggling to keep them under control."
Inspector Jason O'Donohue, from Barking and Dagenham said: "Three large knives were recovered by my officers today as they worked to disperse a very large and unpredictable crowd following a private house party.
"By getting these knives off the street when they did, my officers have helped save lives and prevent another needless tragedy."

The Greater Offense Sometimes I find if difficult to understand why Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) has a radio show. So often when I tune in to his show on the drive home I hear him interviewing some guest brought on to give the opposing view and he misses the obvious question. He keeps repeating the same things over an over and never seems to follow up with a question based on what the guest has said.
Today, for instance, he had a spokesperson for an Islamic organization on to discuss the problem of radical Islamic terrorism. Specifically he was badgering the guest about which specific verses in the Koran justify violence and killing infidels.
This spokesperson - I missed his introduction so I don't have his name - insisted that violence, terrorism and the killing of infidels is actually against the teachings of the Koran and Mohammed.
What Hannity should have asked, and didn't was something like:
When a Danish newspaper published cartoons of Mohammed, angry and offended Muslims around the world marched in protest.
When a group of Muslims killed 3,000 people in New York in the name of Mohammed there were no marches. When a group of Muslims burned a Jordanian pilot alive on video, there were no marches. A group of Muslims beheaded 21 Christians in the name of Allah and there will be no marches.
What is the greater offense to Islam and the Prophet: violence and terrorism, that you say are against the teachings of Islam, done in the name of Mohammed or drawing a cartoon?
If you want to paint your opposition guest into a corner this is how you do it. He cannot answer that the cartoon is the greater offense because that invalidates his message or calls killing in the name of the Prophet a lesser evil than drawing a cartoon. Hardly a reasonable position. He cannot answer that the violence is the greater offense to the Prophet, because there is ample evidence proving otherwise.
Another missed opportunity to prove your point missed Mr. Hannity.

Wishful Thinking
Obama administration spokes person Marie Harf had this to say regarding Radical Islamic Terrorists durring an interview with Chris Matthews:
I would say that this nonsense falls under the category of wishful thinking, but I can't really imagine that any thought went into it at all."We cannot kill our way out of this war. We need in the medium to longer term to go after the root causes that leads people to join these groups, whether it's a lack of opportunity for jobs."
"We're not going to be able to stop that in our lifetime or 50 lifetimes," Matthews interrupted. "There's always going to be poor people. There's always going to be poor Muslims, and as long as there are poor Muslims, the trumpet's blowing and they'll join. We can't stop that, can we?"
In return, Harf suggested a soft power-like approach: "We can work with countries around the world to help improve their governance," she said. "We can help them build their economies so they can have job opportunities for these people."
Consider this statement: "We can work with countries around the world to help improve their governance." Will we convince them to respect individual rights like freedom of speech and religion? Will we talk them into acknowledging those rights for women? They are talking about countries where the basic principles of governance are set down in the words of their prophet. How are we going to help them improve on the word of their god?
Then there is this bold statement: "We can help them build their economies so they can have job opportunities for these people." They can't even do that here in a first-world semi-free republic. What makes them think they can do it in a religiously authoritarian underdeveloped nation?

Go Ahead And Try The FCC and the FEC are making moves to regulate and control the internet. They are doing this because this is what the fascist in the Oval Office wants. And if you think they are not going to try to regulate content, you are a delusional idiot.
The bottom line is I don't give a rat's ass what they try to do.
Not only will I not obey, but this dusty barely used blog will come back to life.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Some of the domestic refineries of Russia's largest oil producer Rosneft (ROSN.MM) have been hit hard by tax reforms and weaker oil prices, putting a strain on profits, sources and analysts told Reuters on Friday.
The government has tweaked tax for the oil industry, aiming to encourage companies to produce better-quality oil products. Starting from January, it hiked the export duty for fuel oil, a low-grade product, under a so-called "tax manoeuvre".
According to think tank Vygon Consulting, oil refining margins, which reflect the difference in the value of petroleum products and the price of crude, averaged 6.3 percent in 2014 when the oil price was around $98 per barrel.
Refining margins fell to 1.8 percent in 2015 and seen at a breakeven level this year with the price of oil around $50 per barrel.
A source close to Rosneft said the big refineries were a "headache" for the company - particularly Syzran and Kuibushev in the Volga region as well as Angarsk in East Siberia.
"The tax manoeuvre has put (Rosneft) large plants on the verge of non-profitability," the source said.
He also said Syzran refinery had "negative core earnings". "There has been no decision on a (possible) temporary shutdown of the plant taken yet but the modernisation of the plant has been slowed down," the source said.
Another source familiar with Rosneft plans said Kuibyshev, Novokuibyshev, Syzran and Saratov had been hit the hardest by the tax reforms and falling oil prices due to a high share of low-grade fuel output.
Those four Volga-region plants have a total annual refining capacity of over 30 million tonnes, or 600,000 barrels per day.
A Rosneft spokesman said the company would keep the Russian downstream business and was not looking at options to sell some of the plants.
Russian plants cut refining throughput by 3.5 million tonnes in 2016 with plans to cut it further by 7 million tonnes this year to 270 million tonnes, according to the energy ministry.
Rosneft's domestic refining capacity stands at around 100 million tonnes per year, including the Bashneft (BANE.MM) plants it acquired last year.
Rosneft's downstream business has also been under strain due to its deals to increase crude oil supplies to international traders such as Glencore (GLEN.L).

I use to live there. Like 19 yrs worth. Moved back to the S,E U.S a few yrs back. Things aren't so great. How's the employment there ? Prob the same as when I left. I lived in Ellicott , Co ( 23 miles east of the springs & I loved it.. Rented a nice place for 3 yrs there but moved ( had to) uptown off north nevada near mount view area. It was ok for 2 wks but then I started to hate it.. I guess my Question is , Are there some decent places to Rent without having to rob a bank to afford it ( just joking abt that )?? I do think co is a beautiful state but I don't like it at the same time. Some of the ppl suck ! Not Friendly.

well to be honest with you, if you had a choice, i would stay towards the SE, maybe even texas (thats where i am now). I have moved to springs and back from springs about 5 times now and im not doing it again. there are no full time jobs, if you have a degree you might get in at Mcdonalds or mop a floor somewhere. i have a 3yr Human Resources degree and i couldnt find anything in my field and ended up working fast food or janitorial all 5 times ive been there. Housing is an absolute joke. Small,dirty, beat up run down apartments going for like 700/month small houses going for 2Grand/month. you might get lucky like i did and find a house in manitou for cheap, i got a small 2BR up in the hills in Manitou for $750 (still too much, i used to pay 450 for a house this size in Kansas). It was a nice place but unfortunately its usually a "reserved" type rental house where the leases are seasonal and often pre-paid in full. I had to move when June came, but not bad i had that house from late October untill then and the guy actually trippled my deposit for not wreking the place. But ya, it really is just a guessing game out here and more times than not, a numbers game as well.

thanks Don for the reply . I appreciate it.. I'm in Ky near Lexington if you've ever heard of that city. Spring will be coming up here pretty soon & I must say it is very pretty here when that season rolls around. The Thorough Bred race horse farms are sometime needing help , but , when u work around a horse or horses that are worth Two or three million dollars , they really watch who they employ ! Can't say I blame them tho. Its really something ! The colts are so damn cute & smart. I live in a 2 bed , 1 bath, small kitchen. Living RM for 460.00 a mo.. Its not too bad. I've seen worse & I've seen better. I pay for electric & the landlord pays water , trash etc. They are very strict here about pain killers if u are in a position to Whr u got to take them. Thanks to florida , they're ALL paranoid here. Over that fiasco. Sorry I went on. Thanks again. I guess ill stay here. I wonder if New Mexico would be any different ? I lived there in the late 70s for a while.

How to sell on the Internet?
Today, many people already know about the benefits of the Internet.Enterprising people have found many ways to earn money through the World Wide Web.One such method - is the network marketing.We'll tell you how to sell over the Internet, where to start and how to succeed.
road to success
- If your head crept into the idea of selling through the Internet, pay attention to the psychological and motivational aspects.You must be clear about the why you need it, what you are willing to go for this and what can be abandoned.Think about what you can stop on the way to success, who can become your ally and who is foe.
- Before you sell online, decide what niche you are interested in and who will be your target audience.Do not choose too broad niche and more fully describe the portrait of the ideal customer.
- Products choose such that it can help your target audience solve their problems.Product may be a stranger, and his.For a start is better to take someone else's products, because the principal amountof the money earned is not the producers and sellers in business.In addition, you do not have to be distracted by the production.
How to sell things over the Internet
Website Development
your Internet representation will never be profitable without the creation of high-quality marketing website.Resources should not only be attractive and comfortable, it has to entice people, not search engines.In the foreground is obliged to stand the information content of the page.Search engines help improve the sites, since they require a high quality, unique content, there are good products and services to their description.To get an interesting portal, add it to your forum with experts discussing products and companies.As a result, the search engines will display the first page of the resource at the expense of unique texts and frequent mention of keywords, and people will be interested in it, thanks to comprehensive information and the benefits that it brings.
site also happens that life is filled with quality content, images, forums, and contact him or anyone in a hurry.To change this situation, it is necessary to take care of the promotion of the site in the network.The main thing - to know who is better to address.Not every one of us, thinking about how to start selling on the Internet, well versed in the promotion of a resource and is aware of the possibilities of promotion.Therefore, refer to managers specialized in this issue companies.Remember that you can easily be deceived by the manager, who can tell you too much about the profitability of his proposals.
Most businesses can offer only resource promotion.And it says that for each client company uses a limited set of promotion, not adapted to the specific customer.The manager promises that will increase traffic to the site and does not specify that these visitors can not be the target customers and that they did not linger long on the resource and even the kind of effect will disappear soon.If you do not need meaningless views, do not bring you any real client, then this is not for you.Although often and vice versa.In reality, the decision of these questions deals with advertising, and network - promotion.On the Internet, it will be easier than in real life, to trace the impact and audience reaction.Despite all the possible disadvantages, in the foreground is the result of promotion and guarantee of the speed of work, and not the way that will help to achieve the goal.
Cons of promotion can be easily seen.This helps Internet Marketing Tool - O resources to a specific position in the search engines for specific requests.This is quite an effective tool, but it only works with the right selection of keywords, well thought-out display advertising, selection of tools for a specific audience, shaping the image of the media and blogs and deep analytics right of return of all the activities.
How to sell on the Internet: the trust of clients
internet shopping you need all the time to overcome the same problem.The fact is, many buyers afraid to pay for goods in advance, for fear that they cheated.This problem is most urgent for new, not yet promoted Internet projects.To see customers that the company is a real need to specify the address of a real Internet shop office or give incorrect data.Even better, buyers will see the phone.
payment system
Another problem - open an account in a convenient for the customer billing system.By opening an account in a Russian bank, you will encounter once the tax control and all the advantages of Internet sales will be reduced to nothing.By opening an account with a foreign bank, you do not run with taxation, but the Russian buyers will not transfer money on it.So what do you do in that case?The best option - to get paid for its products through the Internet payment system, because it is not controlled by the tax.Of course, many people do not rush to create electronic wallets, but with each passing day such payment is gaining popularity.Now let's see what it is better to sell.Consider the information products.Information product will be sold if:
- This is knowledge, which requires a special range of consumers,
- Teaches consumers what they want to learn,
- Saves time and simplifies life.
Which products sell better
- Recommendations and advice in specific areas (the secrets of diets, bodybuilding tips on trading stocks, the idea of love, etc.).
- Courses.The Internet gives us the opportunity from home, we obtain the necessary knowledge, thus leaving the courses become more popular.
- Forecasts upcoming changes.To understand what will be the development of the economy by spending more money, if you have some economic knowledge, you can create newsletters or customized reports.The main thing - to be able to prove that you are an author and expert in the field.
- Surveys and statistics.The basis for doing business - it is a variety of demographics, market research and trade statistics.
- Research and Analysis.Companies pay for analytical and research information that saves them time and resources.Therefore, the Internet thriving research Web sites and subscription databases.
Advantages of selling products on the Internet
- target audience size.The Internet is more than one million people and is at any time.If you present your product correctly and promote the site, then for a short period a large number of potential customers interested in the product.
- of Light.You will not be too difficult to create e-books and other information products are already quite good knowledge in a particular field of activity, time and determination.
- low costs.Books and reports can be created using conventional computer programs.
Now you know how to sell goods over the Internet.Be careful with the mind come to this business and you will succeed!

The 2008 Presidential election is historic and interesting for a number of reasons:
Age and Experience:
- Two Senior Citizens are running - McCain (72 today) and Biden (66 in Nov.)
- Two 40-somethings are running - Obama (47) and Palin (44)
- Two Senators with over [25] years in national politics.
So the experience/no experience issues are cancelled out. There is enough experience to go around for both parties and BTW, when is someone in their 40's considered young :)
Barriers Broken - It is about time that we have a black presidential nominee and a female nominee for VP (on the Republican side) -- It only took, nearly 250 years to change that whole dynamic.
No Experience vs Four More Years of the Same - These two mantras need to be jettisoned from the debate -- both of them are silly and obnoxious. (Of course they are easy to say so they will continue until we are sick of them.)
No Experience:
- JFK was 43 when elected president in 1960 after 13 years in politics. Obama is 47 and has been in state and national office for 11 years.
- Sarah Palin (the presumptive Republican nominee for VP) has been in politics for 16 years, many of those years in an executive position as Mayor and Governor; unlike the other three Senators in the race.
- Besides, their are two seasoned old-geezers in the race that have plenty of experience.
4-More years of the Same - Anybody who follows politics should know, that when the Republican party is concerned about McCain's less than conservative views and his willingness to work across the aisle, that comparing him to President Bush is just plain silly; but it does make for a good chant.
- McCain agrees with the President on some things and doesn't on other things. He's called a "Maverick" by most journalists and pundits: "A maverick is a person who shows independence of thought or action, a non-conformist or rebel." source Wictionary. How can you call someone a "Maverick" and then say it will just be 4 more years of the same stuff?
Change! - Take it from eBay sellers, change is not always good or enjoyable. Obama, and the Democrats mention change constantly and the message fits well with the "4 more years of the same" slogan, but honestly, in the 30 years I've been voting nothing much has ever changed in politics. Change for change sake is foolish if you don't have a well thought out plan -- here comes the eBay bit -- eBay management is all about change and look at the turmoil in the marketplace.
- True "Change" comes over time, not by speaking it into existence or wishing it would happen.
- True "Change" comes through pain and heartache not through slogans and wishes.
- True "Change" needs to happen when things are going well, not when things are going poorly, because "change" should never be reactionary, it should always be well thought-out and planned.
- "Change" for "Change" sake does nothing but shuffle the deck and leave the real problems for another generation.
I agree much needs to be changed in this great country, but it needs to happen first with the political parties. What is the old saying "nobody changes until they are forced to", just because that saying is true doesn't mean it should be. I want well thought out considerate changes that help all Americans. I don't see that happening with either candidate, but I'll take my chances with the Maverick, because that is "just how I roll".
Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.Just my 15%
