Annie Mac has been one of Radio 1's top dance DJs for years and she underlines that position with the release of her fourth annual AMP compilation this week.
To promote the double-disc collection, Mac also heads up the Annie Mac Presents 'All The Way' tour next month, with guests Magnetic Man, Redlight, Rudimental and Disclosure.
After quizzing her about pal Nick Grimshaw's new job as the Radio 1 Breakfast Show host, we went on to ask her about dance music, DJing and more.
How much fun is to make the compilations?
"It's really fun. It's just like making a mixtape. One of my favourite things is putting mixes together, putting songs together, making playlists on iTunes or whatever, so this is like a glorified, professional version of that. It's a genuine reflection of the songs that I've connected to most in the year.
"CD One is a real direct reflection of what I've been playing out in festivals, it's pretty much the setlist of my festival sets. CD Two - if I was playing in the back room of a basement club, that's what I'd play. But I don't really get to do those things that often so it's kind of weird and self-indulgent."
Do you get any faff with tracks that you want to put on but can't?
"Well there's only been a couple with this that I really wanted to put on that I wasn't able to and that is all the Roc Nation stuff. Rihanna 'We Found Love', which is my favourite pop song of the year, we weren't allowed to have that. Also 'Paris' by Jay-Z and Kanye, they wouldn't let that - I'm really happy we got stuff like A$AP Rocky and Frank Ocean and Azealia Banks."
'212' is on the compilation, what do you think about Samantha Cameron apparently being a fan?
"My favourite tweet about that was my friend Sophie Wilkinson who said, 'I can't believe SamCam likes a song that says 'I guess that c**t went to Eton' (sic). It's brilliant innit. But yeah - big up Sam Cam, I've got nothing to say!"
How do you feel 2012 has been for music?
"I feel like it's been brilliant, it's never been such a good time for dance music. Dance music has become so ubiquitous and in a way it's become pop music. When it becomes that popular it just makes a much bigger awareness for the more underground stuff.
"Disclosure, for instance - four years ago when I did the comp they wouldn't have been on the Radio 1 playlist but are now supported by mainstream radio, I find that really exciting. It's been a good year for underground music to be accepted and accessible to everyone.
"It's also been a year of no boundaries in terms of genres. There's so many producers coming through like Disclosure or AlunaGeorge, who are influenced by R&B and garage and lots of different genres, and you can hear all that within their music.
"I feel like it's been a great year. It's been great year for house music as well. House music's got bigger than ever and the second disc hopefully reflects that a bit."
If you were forced to pick one standout that is maybe less well-known, what would it be?
"We commissioned in some brand new music - exclusive tunes for the comp and there's a tune by Melé on there called 'Spacejam'. Melé is a 19-year-old guy from Liverpool, super young, super-talented, one of those genre-hopping guys I was telling you about, he'll play everything from grime to jungle to hip-hop. Everything in his set just hops from sound to sound brilliantly.
"He's a super-talented producer as well, it's basically trap music, which is the new thing that everyone's talking about, but it's very much his slant on trap music - and it's completely original, you only hear it on the comp, and it's just a real nice opportunity to be able to support people like that."
Has the web encouraged that sort of eclecticism?
"Completely, it's so immediate - the way music is put out there and consumed. People don't consume long-players as much as they used to. They just pick their favourite track from here and here and they just kind of put together their own things that they like and Spotify them or whatever, or they listen to stuff on YouTube, which has become weirdly the new kind of radio.
"It's good for me because I can represent sounds from everywhere and put them together, but that was the other reason why we got exclusive music on the comp because you need to give just more than a selection of music. People get that everywhere, they make their own comps. Hopefully having music that you won't hear anywhere else on this is more of an incentive to invest in it."
Jessie Ware's on the disc - and she's got a Mercury nomination - what do you make of this year's shortlist?
"I think it's great, it's quite indie actually. There's a lot of really good quality indie bands on there, you know like Django Django and The Maccabees and stuff. I think it's great, I think it's always great, yeah, I hope she wins."
It's been criticised for being pedestrian...
"Yeah, there's always curveballs in the Mercury playlist and there's always a weird jazz musician. I mean, to be honest with you, I haven't like studied it so much to be really commenting on it, but there's a few that have stuck out at me."
And Jessie's your tip?
"I don't know if she'll win, but it's who I would like to win."
How different will your sets be on your All The Way tour to your usual dates?
"It's pretty much like I would do my normal DJ set. The nice thing after DJing at festivals and Ibiza and the more summery sets is that when you come back and play in the UK, you can really go all out and play different music and play underground music and know that it will be embraced by people.
"I'm looking forward to doing that and playing tons of new stuff, and that's what this will be about, it's about kind of finding the new bangers for next year, that's what we're doing sort of touring like just experiments a lot and play new sounds.
"Having that lineup, the strength of that lineup behind you really pushes you and it pushes everyone else to be the best that they can be, so it makes it exciting."
Do you get to enjoy the other acts or are you too much in the zone of your own set?
"No, you definitely get to enjoy everyone else. That's the whole point of AMP for me. You get to see other DJs that you respect and you get to learn from them and maybe hear new music from them and have a laugh with them. It's another important bit."
Are other Radio 1 DJs like Zane Lowe and Chris Moyles treading on your turf with their tours?
"Not really, not at all. I feel like anyone who is a DJ on Radio 1 is gonna have an opportunity to go and play records and make money out of that... We've always been really careful to play for the people that we respect, the promoters who promote like underground music.
"A lot of the Radio 1 DJs will just go and play freshers' balls and I will do that the odd time, but my main DJing is for underground clubs and I think that's the way I'll keep it."
Would you say yes to Simon Cowell's reality TV DJ show if it ever happened?
"I would have an immediate problem with it because you can't judge anyone playing records until you go and see them doing a full set in a club, and they're not obviously going to be able to put that on a television show.
"For that reason I automatically disagree with the format. It sounds like it's going to be one of those, if it ever happens, 'who can perform the most' rather than who can select the best, and I think that that's a line that's becoming more and more blurred in DJing today.
"It's more about standing on the decks and f**king crowd surfing and throwing things in people's faces and doing heart signs. It's become so much about performance.
"Dance music has got so big now that DJs are playing stadiums, so you have to give more. I'll still be all about being in a corner not seen and just playing music. That for me is the ultimate goal."
Annie Mac releases Annie Mac Presents 2012 on October 8. It is available for pre-order now.
She takes the AMP 'All The Way' tour on the road in November and December, with guests Magnetic Man, Redlight, Rudimental and Disclosure.

Hello chowhounders, well I've finally signed up here for this.
I have been reading several posts on here and all the review sites in order to decide on a sushi place in Seattle for my impending trip. I have a few questions for the locals that I don't think were answered in those, and then maybe I can narrow it down.
One of my friend's recommended Shiro's but I've read that nigiri come at about $4 a single piece. is this indeed true? Their site doesn't include a menu. Does anyone have a sampling of some prices? Like how much is one piece of maguro nigiri, hamachi nigiri, ikura, or uni? (for a variety of levels of sushi off the top of my head) I think I'm going to choose this place, but not if it's $8 for 2 pieces of tuna. No thanks. Also, how big are the pieces. Are they decent sized?
Lots of people on this very website recommend Nishino instead of Shiro's. I looked at the website and the prices seem good, but it does not indicate that they are for two pieces. Reviews on other websites say they are *more* expensive than Shiro's. Do you know if the prices on their menu are for one or two pieces of nigiri? Which restaurant is really more expensive? Finally, what makes Nishino better in your view (or the converse)?
Which of the two has better desserts? Which has bigger pieces or fresher fish?
Basically what I look for in a place is: fresh fish, good size pieces, good spicy tuna roll (preferred is the chili flake kind, but the mayo is ok in a pinch as long as it's not overly mayoed), good selection of fish to maybe try something new, good desserts preferred. The overpriced $15 creative rolls are not really my speed. If they priced them more reasonably I might bite. Cooked things are largely for me a waste of stomach space.
Also, after having sushi in Vancouver and having uni be on the regular assortment, bonus points if uni is on the regular assortment. I intend on having uni either way, So, the place I'm looking for should have good uni.
My typical east coast sushi place order is usually: spicy tuna maki or temaki, hamachi negi maki or temaki, ika nigiri, tobiko with quail egg nigiri, maybe sake nigiri. I also like amaebi, hotategai/kaibashira (scallop), ikura, and basically anything squishy. :) Oh yeah and I like aji and related.
So, I'm not an amateur by any means. Sorry for going on and on, but I find that describing what I'm looking for specifically helps people figure out what to recommend.
So, to sum up, I'm looking for fresh fish you can see without a microscope, good selection including some things I might not have had, reasonable price for the quantity, place has fresh uni, place has good desserts, and good spicy tuna rolls would be a plus. Which place would be a better bet, Shiro's or Nishino? Or tell me why another option is better.

Steve and Tony are both concerned with being responsible for their actions, but they go about being responsible in different ways. Steve, by knowing his limits and Tony, by consigning his abilities.
"This nation was founded on one principle above all else: The requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. (Cap in The Amazing Spider-Man: Civil War; In Civil War Sharon Carter quotes Peggy Carter, paraphrasing a section of this speech)"The value of standing up for what you believe, whatever the odds, is the value that makes Steve Rogers Captain America, and it's also why he decides not to sign the Accords, just as the quality which caused billionaire-playboy-philanthropist Tony Stark to become the hero Iron Man is also why he decides to sign the Accords.
Bucky is also concerned with being responsible, worried about his actions should he lose control of himself. We know Steve and Bucky are close friends from First Avenger and Winter Soldier. They grew up together, have fun together, fought together. But in Civil War it's evident they also share the same values, values which prompt them both to take full responsibility of their actions.
|via | I's hard to describe how much I love this moment.
Maybe it's just me, but Civil War isn't the movie to begin watching Marvel movies with, not only because of the plot, but also because to be in it emotionally you've got to already be attached to the characters, otherwise you're just watching. It's like there's no emotional entrance.
The choreography, camera work, soundtrack, and eloquent, masterful script tieing back to every relevant previous Marvel movie with parallels and developing themes are what I adore most about the Russo brothers' directing (so basically everything). The main themes in Civil War are responsibility and vengeance. The patterns of movement in the fight scenes are like a dance. As one reviewer said, Cap's fighting style is raw, and more defined than in previous movies. Henry Jackman's music is harshly beautiful and wailing. In Civil War there's one scene shown four times, each time you learn and feel something new. That's exactly what perspective should do: grow understanding. Civil War builds up scene after scene, tying itself together with repeating themes and parallels, giving it a sense of wholeness and defined purpose.
(Need to watch it again to know for sure. Winter Soldier is still my favorite.)

Late in 1931, Helena Rubinstein announced to her American clients that she had "just returned from Paris to personally introduce her new hormone preparations for the regeneration of skin youth". She extended an invitation to them to come to her New York salon where she would advise them on the use of her Hormone Twin Youthifiers, a day cream (Twin 1) and a night cream (Twin 2).
Two unique, biological creams—the Hormone Twins supply in assimilable form, actual youth-hormones: stimulators and rebuilders of new, young skin cells.
The most amazing results in recreated beauty are being achieved with these dual creams. For lines, wrinkles and weather-beaten, aging skins, the Hormone Twin Youthifiers give the most gratifying results, building up starved, undernourished tissues, correcting wrinkles, crowsfeet, sallowness, revitalizing the tissues.
For younger skins—prematurely worn, suffering from the tension of nerve strain and fatigue the Hormone Twin Youthifiers prove a quick pick-me-up, overcoming minor flaws and keeping the skin vibrant with youth, exquisitely clear, always at the peak of its youthful perfection!
Each cream may be used alone—the Day Cream as a quick rejuvenating treatment, the Night Cream or Feeder to be absorbed deep into the skin layers, stimulating the processes by which the skin renews its youth.
Together, both creams work in undisturbed, united harmony—reviving the beauty of your skin, correcting every flaw, developing new and lasting loveliness.

Elizabeth Arden quickly followed Helena Rubinstein into this market. By 1934, she was selling Ardena Gland Cream even though she developed a skin rash after testing a protoype on herself (Woodhead, 2003).
According to Florence Wall, Helena Rubinstein was not the first to sell a hormone cream in the American market. According to Wall that took place in 1927 but the product "was not a success" (Wall, 1961, p. 124). Wall did not provide any details about the 1927 cream but she was probably referring to Amor Skin, developed by the German company Opterapia. The company had subsidiaries or offices in Berlin, Paris, Milan and New York.
Amor Skin was not an estrogenic cream but rather claimed to contain glandular secretions from a species of turtle – although lizards also get an occasional mentions in advertorials. Its primary ingredient was probably turtle oil but the product may have been supplemented with vitamins or extracts from turtle glands. The likely supplier of the biological material was Dr. Kurt Richter GmbH, a Berlin company established in 1926 that specialised in the production of biologicals (Personal communication, 2017).
The "upper crust" of American society has known of this marvelous rejuvenating agent for the past several years. Due to the difficulty in securing the proper ingredients the prices was prohibitive for anyone except those who possessed considerable means. Through a fortunate discovery of other sources of supply it is now possible for all of us to take advantage of this remarkable REJUVENATING salve which restores the fresh, youthful, elasticity and smooth unwrinkled tension of the skin. Most of us have noticed either in ourselves or our friends that after, say 25 years of age, our skin does not have quite the dewey freshness of our teens and news of anything that will restore this texture will interest the average woman. Amor Skin is obtained from the areolar tissue of giant lizards and turtles who not only live for centuries, but whose use as a food is considered in some countries to be conducive to the prolongation of life. They also possess truly wonderful regenerative qualities in cases of injury to their shell or the loss of entire limbs or extremities. The tissues of these animals must therefore undoubtedly possess a constructive and regenerative capacity far in excess of the average. The best guarantee of the success of results of Amor Skin is that physicians endorse it for their patients.
The German operations of Opterapia and its affiliates suffered during the Second World War. The product reappeared in the United States in 1946 but by then there were numerous hormone oils, creams and lotions on the market.
It is not clear why estrogenic hormones were first used in skin creams. Peck and Klarmann give the following story as a reason:
Women filling ampoules with oestrogens for intramuscular injections who had frequent contact with the oil-suspended hormones noted that a change in the appearance of the skin on the dorsum of their hands gradually occurred after months of such contact. It seemed that the signs of ageing, such as wrinkling, tended to disappear and the backs of their hands, especially in older women assumed a more youthful appearance. After extensive clinical experimentation (with the hormone-free oil as a control) it was concluded by the observers that the antiwrinkling effects on the skin must have been due primarily to the hormones.
This all sounds very plausible but Peck and Klarmann place this event at about 1936, well after Helena Rubinstein introduced her Hormone Twins into the United States.
In her frequent trips to Europe, Rubinstein was always on the lookout for new 'youthifying' treatments. For example, she followed the work of Dr. Serge Voronoff [1866-1951] and his research in Paris with ape testicular transplants, suggesting that she had studied with him and experimented with monkey gland serum herself.

Rubinstein would also have followed German, English and American studies in the use of estrogens and was probably only held back from using them before 1930 by the lack of commercial supplies. The Hormone Twin Youthifiers were the first in a long list of cosmetics containing sex hormones introduced by her and others over the next thirty years or so.
Most hormone cosmetic creams produced up until the 1960s that actually contained estrogens – rather than skin extracts, dried glands, placenta or other materials – consisted of estrone, estradiol and estriol, or equilin and equilenin if the estrogens were taken from the urine of pregnant mares. In general it was found that incorporating the hormones into a water-in-oil emulsion worked best as this allowed for a "slow uniform absorption of the estrogenic principle" (deNavarre, 1975, p. 628) or were incorporated into an oil base. Rubinstein sold both types.
In addition to 'natural estrogens' some hormone creams used synthetic compounds with estrogenic effects such as diethylstilbestrol (DES, also spelt diethylstilboestrol). This synthetic non-steroidal estrogen was first synthesised in 1938 and was cheaper than natural estrogens, in part because it was not patented. It was also about three times more powerful.
Hormones were also combined with other biologicals such as vitamins or turtle oil, as for example in the Up-To-Date Cosmetic Company's Estro-Turtle Hormone Cream which went on sale in the United States in the late 1940s.

Rubinstein introduced the Hormone Twin Youthifiers into the United States well before the 1938 Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FD&CA) was enacted there and her hormone preparations were therefore subject to few restrictions during the 1930s. After 1938, the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA), who were charged with administering the FD&CA after 1938, showed a good deal of interest in hormone creams as they crossed the line between drugs and cosmetics. However, as there appeared to be some benefits in using the creams, the FDA was prepared to allow them as long as there was no evidence that they might cause trouble.
In the United States, the "official" position of the Federal Security Agency (Food and Drug Administration) is given in a letter dated 26 October 1949, addressed to deNavarre (Amer. Perfum., April 1950. P. 289) from which it appears that the Food and Drug Administration:
1. whilst they were skeptical of the ability of these creams to accomplish the results promised, were not in a position to disprove their claims;
2. did not look favourably upon the distribution of these creams for lay use (because of definite information concerning the ultimate effect of continued use of these creams), but possessed no conclusive evidence that harm had resulted from the use of creams containing the amounts of estrogens found in these creams then on the market.
Whilst the FDA would allow over-the-counter (OTC) hormone creams to remain on the market, they placed limits on the levels of estrogen allowed in these cosmetics. The FDA was concerned that the hormones in OTC skin creams did not enter the blood stream where they could be transported to other parts of the body with unknown effects.
Scientific research indicated that the absorption of estrogens by the skin from a cream was less than 40 per cent. So, as long as the concentration of estrogens in a cream remained low, they did not appear to enter the blood stream and their action remained localised or 'cosmetic', i.e., only effected the skin. The FDA appears to have settled on 10,000 International Units (I.U.) of estrogens per ounce as an acceptable amount for hormone creams, as long as the amount used was no greater than 2 ounces per month. This limit was supposed to ensure that a user would have a maximum exposure of 670 I.U. of estrogens per day. In practice it did not.
It is worth noting that L. Leichner – the makers of greasepaints and other cosmetics – who began selling Beauty Hormones before Helena Rubinstein put her Twin Youthifiers on the market, agreed with the idea that it was difficult to absorb hormones from skin creams and supplied their beauty hormones as tablets not cosmetics.
The main concern of the FDA was cancer and if estrogens had been shown to be harmful the FDA would have withdrawn them from the market no matter what the concentration. However, research of the time suggested that any link between OTC hormone creams and cancer would be remote as long as the hormones were not in high enough concentrations to enter the blood stream and circulate to other parts of the body, i.e., they were below the 10,000 I.U. per ounce limit.
1. It is the consensus of opinion among experience observers that cosmetic hormone creams with a maximum potency of 10,000 I.U. per ounce (31 g.) of vehicle, if used in the manner by the informed manufacturer, are free from systemic effects. It is also established that to date there has been no evidence of precancerous or cancerous changes in the skin resulting from the use of these hormone cosmetics over a period of several years.
2. There is definite support for the anti-wrinkling effect produced by the use of hormone cosmetics based on (a) the thickening of the epidermis, (b) plumping of the collagen fibers.
3. The anti-wrinkling action of hormone creams is more noticeable in older age-groups.
The amount of estrogens present in American OTC hormone creams differed widely but most fell below 10,000 I.U. per ounce limit that the FDA used as a safe measure. Some examples are given below:
• Nu-Youth Hormone Day or Night Cream (1,500 I.U. estrogens)
• Second Youth Estrogenic Hormone Cream (7,500 I.U. estrogens)
• Bette Knowlton Special Formula Cream (50,000 I.U. estrogens)
• Revlon White Sable Hormone Liquid Cleansing Creme (6,000 I.U. estrogens)
• Allure Fountain of Youth Wrinkleproof Cream (7,500 I.U. estrogens)
• Dorothy Gray Cellogen Cream (10,000 I.U. estrogens)
When products exceeded the 10,000 I.U. per ounce the FDA usually confiscated them. In 1951, the FDA seized 223 one-ounce bottles of Hormonex Beauty Serum on the grounds that it could cause injury to health, as the amount of hormone applied was well over the accepted limit. The serum contained 150,000 I.U. of estrogens per ounce with directions indicating that the dosage would be 1,500 I.U. per day. Hormonex subsequently dropped the amount of estrogens in their beauty serum to 33,000 I.U. per ounce. This was still higher than 10,000 I.U. per ounce but as they stipulated a recommended daily dosage of 300 I.U. per day – which was well below the agreed threshold value for a systemic effect – they overcame the objections of the FDA and remained on the market.
In 1952, the FDA also seized and destroyed 8 jars of Bette Knowlton Special Formula Cream on the grounds that it was dangerous to health. Samples taken indicated it contained 54,000 I.U. (5.4 mg) of estrogen per ounce, again well over the 10,000 limit. The directions for use meant that the daily application would be 1,800 I.U. of estrogen, leading to the possibility that the hormone would enter the blood stream.
Helena Rubinstein's original Hormone Twins may have breached the FDA's hormone limits and this may have may been the reason for Rubinstein introducing a new hormone cream, Tree of Life, in 1956.
The FDA also confiscated products under the Misbranding Section 502(a) of the FD&CA. Here the charge was that claims made for the product could not be supported. This could be because the claims were overly exaggerated or because the hormone levels were so low that the FDA could not see how they could support the claims made for the product.
Although the terms of the FD&CA were less than perfect, the United States had the strongest cosmetic regulations at the time. The United Kingdom for example had nothing similar and it was fortunate that most of the hormone creams available there were American in origin.
In America the quantity of œstrogen included in hormone preparations is strictly controlled, by the Federal Food and Drug Administration, at 10.000 I.U. (International Units) per oz.—this 'safety figure' having been arrived at after extensive research. The lowest quantity considered effective is 7,500 I.U. per oz. Although no control exists in Great Britain, few, if any, beauty preparations are made with more than 10,000 I.U. per oz. Many of the best known makes of hormone cream are, of course, American in origin, and are formulated accordingly. Many users claim handsomely rewarding results, including a more moist and smoother skin with fresher colour due to improved capillary flow. Other users report no noticeable difference in their complexions.
By the late 1950s the hormone cream market was looking fairly crowded. Most of the majors had products containing estrogenic hormones for sale. Dorothy Gray had released Cellogen, Remoldine and Satura, Elizabeth Arden had Joie de Vivre and even Max Factor had weighed in with Cup of Youth in 1957, sold in a milk-white goblet.
In 1959, Helena Rubinstein launched her Ultra Feminine range of hormone products including Ultra Feminine Face Cream which contained 5 mg of progesterone as well as 10,000 I.U. of estrogenic hormones. Revlon followed, in 1961, with Eterna 27 containing 0.5 per cent pregnenolone acetate – an ester of the sex hormone precursor pregnenolone – trademarked as Progenitin. Both products were protected by patents.
These two night creams used different advertising approaches. Although both stressed their scientific development and youthful benefits, the tone of Rubinstein's advertising copy was drug-like whereas Revlon's was more cosmetic. Rubinstein made physiological claims including that the skin "becomes soft, supple, protected" and that skin cells "are able to hold maximum moisture again—that all-important process that makes the skin look young. Aging lines smooth out because the skin surface now rests on a firm, full pillow of moisture-plumped cells". Revlon on the other hand only made cosmetic claims for their product. Advertising copy for Eterna 27 stated that the product had "no hormone activity … no hormone effects" and only claimed that the skin would "look more youthful and definitely smoother". These were visual/cosmetic not physiological claims.
The decision by Revlon to market Eterna 27 using language deemed appropriate for a cosmetic rather than a drug can perhaps serve as a marker of the beginning of the end for OTC hormone creams. From now on the regulatory landscape, both in the United States and elsewhere, would progressively turn against them. Hostility to the use of hormones in OTC products was, in part, driven by the improved scientific understanding that followed the introduction of the contraceptive pill in 1960 and the increased use of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).
The complete ban on the use of hormones or hormone precursors in OTC products by the European Economic Community (EEC) and elsewhere was not mirrored by similar legislation in the United States. However, the costs associated with FDA compliance and labeling requirements, and lack of access to European and other markets would have been strong disincentives to global cosmetic corporations. They moved on to less regulated compounds like phytosterols and other so-called bio-identical estrogens. Of all the hormone creams and oils produced by the majors that have been mentioned here, only Revlon's Eterna 27 remains on the market.

During the last decade, the contraction of print and broadcast media and the expansion of digital platforms spurred an unprecedented crossover between journalism and independent nonfiction filmmaking. Documentarians, working alone or in small teams, are increasingly taking on high-stakes storytelling once the domain of legacy media. Very often, they do so without the support, resources, and protection of established institutions. The IDA Enterprise Documentary Fund seeks to support this critically important work, while helping filmmakers retain their independent voices and artistic visions.
The IDA Enterprise Documentary Fund, with major support from The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, provides production and development funds to feature-length documentary films taking on in-depth explorations of original, contemporary stories and integrating journalistic practice into the filmmaking process. In addition to funds, grantees will receive additional resources and expertise tailored to the needs of the project. Inclusion and diversity, both in terms of the filmmaking team and subject matter, are a priority of the fund.
For more information, read "The IDA Enterprise Documentary Fund: Where Journalism and Filmmaking Meet" by Carrie Lozano, Director of the Fund.
Production grants up to $100k

I have a passion for the figure and my current work explores abstraction and its expressive possibilities. My process is intuitive. Perhaps one of my favorite sculptors, David Smith, describes this way of working best – "I do not work with a conscious and specific conviction about a piece of sculpture. It is always open to change and new association. It should be a celebration, one of surprise, not rehearsed."
My sculpture was initially fueled by ancient stone circles like the Stones of Callanish in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland and more renowned sites like Stonehenge and Avebury in southern England. While the current work still draws on these megalithic forms, I also enjoy integrating other materials into my figures -- placing iron directly into the clay, using encaustic on the surface, and creating environments out of stone or iron.
The fragmented figure has long been a visual preoccupation for me -- particularly as it relates to the Japanese idea of "zan ketsu no bi" – finding beauty in something missing. I find myself drawn to Greek Cycladic sculpture and mummified forms. Most of my work begins in clay, usually porcelain. I fire in a variety of ways – raku, pit fire and high fire. I also cast my pieces in bronze.

Click here to download the full agenda.
Statistics is a crucial part of the development agenda, providing evidence needed to develop and monitor effective development policies and programs. It is an indispensable tool for allocating resources to address development concerns, and a catalyst for improving transparency and accountability.
However it remains a challenge for many National Statistical Systems (NSSs) in developing countries to obtain the funding needed for their statistical development – 88% of the top constraints facing National Statistics Offices (NSOs) are linked to a lack of financial resources – and now as the Post-2015 development agenda looms, NSSs will inevitably need to prepare for even greater challenges ahead. With only 0.16% of ODA dedicated to statistics in 2012, and that support becoming increasingly concentrated (with the top 25 recipients receiving 84% of total support in 2013) it is clear that from a long term perspective funding for statistics will need to be supplemented and replaced by national resources.
While the PARIS21 Partner Report on Support to Statistics (PRESS) exercise gives a snapshot of ongoing financial support to statistical development worldwide and an overview of trends it does not cover statistical funds allocated by governments to their own NSS. To address this, the PARIS21 Secretariat developed the Country Report on Support to Statistics (CRESS) which is a country-led exercise aimed at gathering all data relating to the funding of the entire NSS whether it is derived from national resources (for example through the national budget, or through a statistical development fund) or donor support (such as development banks or bilateral donors). Such increased resources for NSSs can lead to the ability to:
- continuously upgrade the capacity of statisticians to generate important statistical indicators to measure emerging concerns;
- improve statistical infrastructure (i.e., registers, sample frames, databases, archives, data generation devices, software, website, etc.);
- undertake statistical operations and processes (i.e., surveys, censuses, administrative data systems, data analysis and dissemination); and
- enhance statistical institutions (statistical policies, laws, coordination mechanisms, etc.).
The international community recognizes the necessity of these improvements. The Busan Action Plan for Statistics (BAPS) recognizes that an increase in "resources for statistical systems would entail continued investment to break the vicious cycle of neglect and disuse of statistics." Action 5 of the BAPS is to "ensure financing for statistical information is robust and that funding instruments and approaches reflect the new modalities and actors in development finance."
With this in mind, what needs to be done to enable NSSs to deliver properly and meet the growing and evolving demands of users? Should we strengthen advocacy? Increase Official Development Assistance for statistics? Develop new funding mechanisms? Involve the private sector? The Post-2015 debate and the call for a data revolution is a unique opportunity to mobilize stakeholders and to uncover, promote, and develop innovative mechanisms for statistical funding.

Battlefield 3 To Have Double XP Between May 9th and May 13th
Ryan Martin / 5 years ago
Recently there has been a lot of talk and hype surrounding the next Battlefield release, Battlefield 4. However, Battlefield 3 is still going strong with thousands of online users and it is nice to see DICE hasn't forgotten about giving them a little thanks every once in a while. That said DICE have announced plans to give all Battlefield 3 players, premium or not, the ability to grab double XP on May the 9th through to May the 13th.
Battlefield 3 has sustained itself relatively well since its release way back in October 2011. This is mainly thanks to DLC packs keeping the game going for the past 18 months: Back To Karkand (December 2011), Close Quarters (June 2012), Armored Kill (September 2012), Aftermath (November 2012) and Endgame (March 2013).
Now with DLC all but finished and Battlefield Premium only promising to keep Battlefield addicts interested for so long, DICE is hoping some double XP will get a few gamers back on Battlefield 3 in the near future.
DICE announced the news over on their Facebook page this week and anyone looking to make some quick progression through the levels in Battlefield 3 should definitely jot this one down. Double XP will be available on all ranked matches.
Expect DICE to announce some more details on the double XP event nearer the time.

Budget pressure on farm bill will be 'horrendous'
Farmers harvest soybeans Tuesday east and west of Willmar.
FARGO, N.D. -- House Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas, R-Okla., faces a tough task of justifying and delivering an adequate farm program -- anything comparable to the expiring, popular 2008 farm bill -- in the midst of a tightening budget.
Lucas, who was elected to Congress in 1994 and took over as chairman in 2010 from Rep. Collin Peterson, D-Minn., recently participated in a roundtable discussion in Fargo, N.D.
Chiefly, participants wanted to urge Lucas to preserve crop insurance and other farm bill provisions as he grapples with budget cutting proponents, which could include him. He is a member of the Republican Study Committee, which is at the forefront of budget-cutting efforts. He voted for the so-called "Ryan budget," in April 2011, which would cut trillions in spending over the next decade.
Budget cutting is dominating farm bill discussions.
Leaders of the agriculture committees in the House and Senate offered a proposal to a bipartisan budget supercommittee last December, but that project ended without a compromise. Lucas says he wanted the farm bill to be passed before 2011 drought costs were added into the cost mix. Failing that, he now predicts the farm bill will "go back to regular order" with full committee markups, followed by exposure to full floor debate.
He says the proposals will likely not be "dramatically different" than those in that proposal, because "there are only so many ways you can reinvent the wheel."
"If we are able to let a farm bill (pass) that achieves $23 billion in savings ... we'll be 'luck-y' people," he said, drawing out the word lucky and knocking twice on the table for emphasis.
The budget pressure will be "horrendous" when the issue comes up again, Lucas says.
He expects the Senate to move first on the farm bill, and then the House Agriculture Committee will follow. "I just want to be able to get to a point, in an idealistic world, where we -- as Congress --could put a bill on the president's desk before he goes out in the fall."
If that fails, he'd pass something in a lame duck session after the election.
"If I could extend the 2008 farm bill by one year, I'd hope you'd be with me, because I'd move both heaven and earth to do it, and preserve the (budget) baseline," Lucas says. "With the budget numbers being where they are, I don't think that's a case."
Lucas is committed to a heavy focus on crop insurance, with some kind of revenue program for most crops.
Scott Tewksbury, president of Heartland State Bank of Edgeley, N.D., representing the Independent Community Banks of North Dakota, asked Lucas to continue strong support for crop insurance, and to promote the Farm Service Agency loan programs, which he says are "vitally important" despite the good times in agriculture. He says federal regulations cost his bank 30 to 40 percent of his entire overhead.
The U.S. farm bill is going away from direct payments, which have become politically unpopular here because the payments are made whether farmers are doing well or not. Lucas notes the rest of the world is going toward the system to be compliant with the World Trade Organization.
Similarly, Ed Schafer, former U.S. agriculture secretary and former North Dakota governor, said he was excited by the current farm program climate because the country is being forced to contend with fiscal realities that were there during the past farm bill discussion, when he was in Washington, and tried to implement reforms.
Lucas notes that of the 46 members on the Agriculture Committee, 23 in this session have never been on the committee before. He estimates that 40 percent of the committee members are there because of social nutrition programs included in the farm bill, which account for 75 percent of its spending. Another 40 percent are there because of their ties to production agriculture, and another 20 percent are there primarily because of conservation interests.
When the bill is considered on the House floor, a substantial number on the right won't want to spend money for "any reason" and a substantial number on the left "are not particularly fond of spending in rural America."
Lucas expects the bill to be subjected to "more amendments than we've ever been subjected to before," because of an openness policy from House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. "A good number of them will come from members who have no earthly clue what the impact will be, of their language," he says. "It'll be a struggle."
Mikkel Pates writes for Grand Forks, N.D.-based Agweek, which is owned by Forum Communications Co.

After how long should you replace your toothbrush?
Did your Burnaby dentist tell you the truth about your toothbrush? Our toothbrushes are the breeding ground for bacteria. But then again, brushing is one of the key methods of keeping your mouth in a good health. Brushing is essential, but so is keeping your toothbrush in a good health.
Hygiene and toothbrush:
Did you know that bacteria becomes live on your toothbrush? Why is that? Because our toothbrushes clean the bacteria we have in our mouth- and then the brush remains wet most of the time. More than 10 million bacteria and germs can be found in these toothbrushes.
The researchers have discovered that there are ways through which you can keep your toothbrush safe from all these bacteria.
Clean your brush:
To ensure that your brushing habit remains safe and healthy, ensure that your clean your brush every time before using it. Store your brush in a cabinet that is clean and free of dirty free radicals moving in the air. Buy a brush that has a cap, but before you put the cap up- dry your brush as much as possible
Once a week- put your brush in Dettol or alcohol to rid it of the germs. Mouthwash contains antiseptic and anti-bacterial components so you can also soak your brush in that. If you have none of these- put your brush in warm water with lemon and baking soda in it.
Change your brush:
It is a commonly asked question. Most people ask their dentists when they should change their brushes. The best time to change your brush is three months, as after three months of use the brush starts to wear and tear.
A toothbrush with worn out bristles carries germs. A bad quality of toothbrush is also a cause of damaging your gums. The shape of your toothbrush should be an indication enough of when you should be changing it.
Is quality of toothbrush important?
The quality of brushing depends on the quality of the toothbrush you have. It is your brush that cleanses the plaque and removes the food particles stuck in spaces between your teeth. Therefore you should always a good quality toothbrush. Consider it as a long term investment for your oral health. There are electrical toothbrushes as well- but they do not suit all types of the jaw. Consult the specialized Burnaby dentist to learn more about brushing.

"No one would have believed in the last years of the 19th century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own..." So begins The War of the Worlds, the novel that made Wells famous and has enthralled and terrified for almost 100 years. Ten huge and tireless creatures land in England and, using their deadly rays and crushing strength, threaten the very existence of humankind. Wells' classic is not just groundbreaking science fiction, it is a shocking social parable about man's inhumanity to man.

When we stay in home we love eating well, nothing better than a good meal (i.e. pasta!) and a good red wine after a busy day working! Then a good movie or tv show, with a good dessert or sweet. In a stress full day, instead of tv, turn off the lights, relax with some quiet music (reggae is a classic for us), more wine or something stronger (she loves vodka, I love rhum),resting in the shadows... unique!

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Luckily in this travel we did and saw a lot of amazing thing for us! and some incredible and unexpected happened too! for instance, in a raining morning, just after sunrise, when we're drinking a "balinese coffee", in the balcony in our little guest house room in Ubud, a town in Bali (Indonesia), a gang of monkeys (yeah, local macacos, at least 5 or 6) come into the balcony and stay with us for breakfast!! that was very funny.
We've met a lot a people, local and travelers, eat and taste new food and drinks, learned about very different cultures and religions, experienced some crazy activities (bungy jumping, elephant trekking, camel ride, fundive, rock-climbing, etc), visit a lot of interest places (natural wonders, temples, landscapes, etc) and get tired of walking all day long!!! jajajaa It's been a wonderfull trip so far and an amazing experience for us.

Best Merry Christmas Wishes And Quotes, Images 2016

Merry Christmas Cards Latest And Unique
Consistent Branches
While adding twinkle lights to small and medium-sized trees may seem simple, there's more skill involved than one might think. Since most trees lose their leaves in the winter, so it's much more difficult to figure out where to drape the lights for a balanced look. To add symmetry to exterior decor, create a consistent stopping point along each of the trees. Although some may be significantly taller than others, once wrapped at approximately the same height with twinkle lights, trees will appear organically balanced.
Top Merry Christmas Wishes Images
Unlit Structures
Lights are meant mostly for ambiance, but they can also serve double duty as backdrops for showcasing seasonal yard structures. When placing holiday structures in the yard, it's wise to keep them unlit, instead relying on the ambient glow of the house.
Lighting Walkways
Since holidays often attract more guests to the home than other times of the year, be sure to keep walkways brightly lit. An easy way to do this is to take advantage of any smaller trees or shrubs along or around the walkway and outfitting them with just a few strands of lights. Although they may be too small to properly read from the street, the subtle glow cast onto pavers, trails or concrete walkways will help guests make their way up to the house safely.
Lights on Timers
For a low-maintenance approach to exterior holiday lighting, consider timer activation. One of the most popular products available is a plug-in on/off module which can handle up to 1500 watts. Although there are many styles available, most options simply plug into an exterior outlet. Therefore an average-sized home will require between two and four modules to keep the exterior safely lit and perfectly timed.
Christmas X Mas Night Wallpapers 2016 Images Pictures
Wrapping Hedges
Wrapping hedges with twinkle lights may seem like a daunting task, especially when figuring out where to stop and start each strand. So Eliminate all of the second-guessing by investing in net lights. Although net lights may cost more than standard strands, the amount of time saved on installation is often worth the investment.
Mixed-Light Sources
Year-round exterior lighting such as sensory-activated motion lights, security spotlights and sconces can often interfere with the soft ambiance created by twinkle lights. The key to properly mixing different sources is overpowering year-round fixtures with twinkle lights. So Consider changing year-round bulbs to those with lower wattage. This will allow twinkle lights to overpower year-round fixtures, resulting in a beautiful, soft glow along all exterior surfaces of the home also.
Ramp Up Home Decor
Therefore Deck out your home by stringing twinkle lights on focal pieces to make your everyday decorations more festive!
Dixie Cup Light Garland
Easy garland project alert! Use colorful Dixie cups over a strand of lights to create a soft, sweet glow.
Framed Card Display
This framed card display is an excellent way to put out all your Christmas cards.
Light Carpet
So Create this fun light carpet by crocheting a strand of lights within a rug.
Light Tree
This DIY light tree would be an excellent focus piece in any room.
Unique Christmas Shadow Box
You don't have to be a crafting queen to whip up charming holiday decorations. This enchanting shadow box DIY reminds us of stargazing on a cold Winter night. Every seemingly handmade element — glam shadow boxes, brush trees, snow (or – ahem – stretched out cotton), copper-wire lights — also can all be purchased.

Windows 7 for business / Windows 8.1 for Home
Hi there.
Whatever Ms (and others) say about W8.1 - W7 REMAINS BY FAR the most suited for business -- although for HOME use if you can cut through all the FUD and diasambulation about W8.1 it's not anything like as horrible as it's purported to be --although unlike W7 you need to do a little bit of work to get it to run HOW YOU WANT.
Now what would REALLY interest me is if there is any program like the old nLite where you could remove most of the features you don't want or use in W7 so it could be a really fast and trimmed down OS.
Running as a VM in Unity mode I could have OFFICE (from the W8.1 system) and the Corporate back end apps including two three three works VPN's (from the W7 system) on my desktop - so I'd get the best of all worlds.
It seems that the idea of businesses moving to W8.1 has certainly sensibly fallen on Deaf ears -- I don't think organisations like SAP have even THOUGHT of adapting their software to work with W8.1 either.
(W9 might be a whole different ballgame though).

SAN ANTONIO -- Josh Howard's return from surgery on his left ankle hit a speed bump Wednesday night.
Howard, playing in games on back-to-back nights for the first time since having the minor reconstructive surgery in May, lasted only a few minutes in the second half of the Dallas Mavericks' 92-83 loss to the San Antonio Spurs.
Coach Rick Carlisle benched Howard because he noticed the swingman was limping. Howard, who made his season debut during Saturday night's win over the Toronto Raptors, experienced soreness in his ankle during a poor performance against the Spurs.
"I didn't know how I was going to respond," said Howard, who scored eight points on 2-of-11 shooting in 19 minutes. "This is what happened. It's just something that I've got to deal with and keep fighting."
Carlisle said he didn't need to ask Howard how he was feeling before determining that he needed to sit the rest of the game. Carlisle made that decision when he saw Howard limping early in the third quarter. Athletic trainer Casey Smith confirmed that Howard should rest the remainder of the game, according to Carlisle.
Howard will be re-evaluated Thursday. The Mavericks begin a stretch of three games in four days Friday in Minnesota.
"We'll treat it accordingly," Carlisle said. "He's had some soreness. This is no secret. He's in the early stages of a long process of recovery and reconditioning of the ankle and his body. There's going to be times when there's soreness and we've got to get him out of the game."
Tim MacMahon covers the Mavericks for ESPNDallas.com. E-mail him at email@example.com.

text: After his smart, charming but sometimes a little half-hearted debut, last year's Causers of This, led to a chillwave of buzz and demand for South Carolina's Toro Y Moi, the one-man band of Chaz Bundick smartly recruited a band. His tunes and ideas evolved to fit the bigger stages and sounds, reflected on this year's ripe, funky and idiosyncratic Underneath the Pine. A polyglot capable of casual drift, fist-clenched dance music and unerring pop-rock melodies, Bundick's thankfully outlasted the Internet's obsession with that genre tag. The real highlight here, however, might be Braids, a coed Canadian quartet that wraps intricate instrumental layers—think Tortoise and The Jesus and Mary Chain, in the fish tank forever—around the versatile voice of Raphaelle Standell-Preston. With Adventure. —Grayson Currin

Hello folks,
I'm trying to save videos from a particular website. For example, the first video on this page. Direct link to MP4 of the video in question.
I used to have no problem using simple Firefox Add-ons to save the files. However, now that no longer works. The downloads keep hanging and rarely download anything. If they do, it's generally less than 10% of the file.
I have also tried GetFLV without success. Directly navigating to the MP4 file does not work either.
When I open up the Firefox console there does not seem to be anything else streaming except the MP4 file. So I'm at a loss.
Thanks for any help you may offer.

Maybe a link to the problem video would help us. Not sure what your subject title has to do with your problem.Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence -Carl Sagan
I linked to it in my OP, but here's the link again. First embedded video on this page.
The website uses JWPlayer extension in Joomla.
It seems that the stream is inconsistent.
The first time I tried the page, the video failed to load - just a revolving graphic.
The second time, the video played almost instantly
And now the third time, when to test with s/w, back to square one.
Can't help here. I have 'no script' installed so no video displayed for me.Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence -Carl Sagan
I was able to grab two of the short interviews on that page with Jaksta.
I would guess that the first video would also download if the server got it to play.
Jaksta got it in the background even tho it did not play in the browser (in fact it got it twice due to refreshes)
Last edited by DB83; 9th Mar 2014 at 16:44.
The video downloads to the browser cache (faster than real-time playback). I was able to copy a good MP4 out of the IE cache using nirsoft VideoCacheView. The video temp file saved by firefox was not usable, only the IE copy (hex compare is very different).
I was not able to download a good MP4 directly or using any of the utilities or extensions mentioned previously in this thread.

EastEnders spoiler: Lee Carter secret REVEALED as Danny-Boy Hatchard makes shock return
EASTENDERS revealed where Lee Carter has been hiding at the end of tonight's hour-long episode as he got in touch with his dad Mick.
After Lee (played by Danny-Boy Hatchard) ditched Whitney (Shona McGarty) midway through their Valentine's Day meal, viewers thought they'd seen the last of the tortured soldier.
As Whitney turned to the Caters for a shoulder to cry on, Mick (Danny Dyer) began frantically scrambling to find his missing boy.
With Lee's mental health spiralling out of control after recently trying to commit suicide and hitting his doting wife, the family speculated that he could have been left for dead.
Thankfully, tonight's cliffhanger saw Lee call up the Queen Vic and gasp: "Dad, I need to see you."
Lee Carter returns to EastEnders with a secret
Dad, I need to see you
Though, it's unclear what predicament Lee's found himslef in or if he'll even return to Walford at all as actor Danny will be bowing out of the BBC soap over the coming weeks.
Elsewhere, EastEnders appears to have lined up a particularly controversial love triangle with Michelle Fowler (Jenna Russell), her toy boy lover Preston and her niece Bex.
After Preston arrived unannounced on Tuesday night, he immediately began flirting with Bex.
Lee made a shock return to call Mick in EastEnders
Mick was stunned to hear Lee on the other end of the phone
As Martin Fowler (James Bye) joked that Bex (Jasmine Armfield) would be jetting off to Preston's homeland across the pond for "fame and fortune", the infatuated teenager turned red as she playfully giggled with the heartthrob.
Michelle immediately picked up on the playful banter and her face screamed in panic - but should the cougar be scared?
EastEnders continues tomorrow night at 8pm on BBC One.

Daniel Jacobs is preparing for a huge middleweight contest against Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin, and with much of the focus on his opponent, Jacobs has flown under the radar.
That's a shame giving Jacobs history of stopping opponents. His knockout numbers compare favorably to the more-hyped GGG, and many of his stoppages were just as awe inspiring.
Take a look at our Top-10 Daniel Jacobs knockouts before his steps in the ring with GGG.
10. Daniel Jacobs vs. Caleb Truax
- Date: September 9th, 2016
- Round: 7
Caleb Truax proved a tough opponent for Jacobs. The two exchanged momentum throughout the fight but Jacobs was able to finish the fight in the 12th round.
9. Daniel Jacobs vs. Sergio Mora
- Date: September 9th, 2016
- Round: 7
In a rematch with Sergio Mora, Jacobs showed that his power traveled over the course of a fight. He wore down Mora with a flurry of punches and eventually got the finish.
8. Daniel Jacobs vs. Jose Varela
- Date: April 24th, 2009
- Round: 2
Daniel Jacobs showed a killer instinct early on in his career and an impressive KO of Jose Varela was a clear sign of his power.
7. Daniel Jacobs vs. Tyrone Watson
- Date: October 18th, 2008
- Round: 1
Tyrone Watson proved no match for Daniel Jacobs in their 2008 match up. Jacobs' well-timed combinations were too much for his opponent and earned him the early victory.
6. Daniel Jacobs vs. Milton Nuñez
- Date: March 15th, 2014
- Round: 1
Daniel Jacobs' impressive first-round KO of Milton Nunez in Puerto Rico marked his first impressive knockout of 2014.
5. Daniel Jacobs vs. Josh Lutheran
- Date: October 20th, 2012
- Round: 1
Daniel Jacobs makes a statement in his Barclays Center debut against Josh Lutheran. The first round finish set Jacobs up for a raise in competition and an eventual push at the WBA middleweight title.
4. Daniel Jacobs vs. Sergio Mora
- Date: August 1st, 2015
- Round: 2
In his first fight with Sergio Mora, Jacobs made quick work of the veteran and put the rest of the middleweight division on notice.
3. Daniel Jacobs vs. Peter Quillin
- Date: December 5th, 2015
- Round: 1
In arguably the biggest fight of his career, Jacobs shocked many boxing fans and analyst by dismissing Peter Quillin in the first round of their bout.
2. Daniel Jacobs vs. Giovanni Lorenzo
- Date: August 19th, 2013
- Round: 3
Against a very offensively aggressive Giovanni Lorenzo, Jacobs showed that he could use his boxing IQ to set up another strong finish. It truly showed that he was more than a one-trick pony and capable of holding his own against any style of fighter.
