Judy (2019): Film Screening
Add to Calendar
Winter 1968 and showbiz legend Judy Garland arrives in Swinging London to perform a five-week sold-out run at The Talk of the Town. It is 30 years since she shot to global stardom in The Wizard of Oz, but if her voice has weakened, its dramatic intensity has only grown. As she prepares for the show, battles with management, charms musicians and reminisces with friends and adoring fans, her wit and warmth shine through. Even her dreams of love seem undimmed as she embarks on a whirlwind romance with Mickey Deans, her soon-to-be fifth husband. Featuring some of her best-known songs, the film celebrates the voice, the capacity for love, and the sheer pizzazz of "the world's greatest entertainer."
Judy (2019) | Rated PG-13
Judy is a 2019 biographical drama film about American singer and actress Judy Garland. Directed by Rupert Goold, it is an adaptation of the Olivier- and Tony-nominated West End and Broadway play End of the Rainbow by Peter Quilter. The film stars Renée Zellweger as Garland, with Jessie Buckley, Finn Wittrock, Rufus Sewell, and Michael Gambon in supporting roles.
The film follows Judy Garland's career during the last year of her life when she relocated her stage career to Britain. After some initial success for a run of sell-out concerts at the Talk of the Town in London, her efforts eventually stop making progress and even start to worsen due to health issues.

French Admiral Louis-René Le Vassor, comte de La Touche-Tréville
(3 June 1745 – 19 August 1804) He fought in the American War of Independence and became a prominent figure of the French Revolutionary Wars and of the Napoleonic wars
Born into a noble family of naval officers, Latouche enlisted at the age of 13. He rose to become a competent frigate captain, battling several British ships during the American War of Independence. His two-frigate squadron once manoeuvred a 74-gun ship of the line to the point of sinking, and he was entrusted with important personalities of the time as passagers, notably Louis XVI and the Marquis de Lafayette.
During the Revolution, Latouche, a Freemason and aide to Phillipe Égalité, took progressive positions as a deputy in the Estates General and later in the National Constituent Assembly. His nobility nevertheless made him a target during the Reign of Terror, and he was imprisoned and only freed from prison by the Thermidorian Reaction.
Returned to the Navy after a long period of unemployment, Latouche took command of the Flottille de Boulogne, where he repelled the Raids on Boulogne organised by Nelson. He then served in the Saint-Domingue expedition, which irrevocably compromised his health. After his return, he took command of the fleet in Toulon, reorganising it into a potent tool again, but he succumbed to a relapse of illness before he had a chance to use it. Under his successor Villeneuve, the fleet he had refurbished was crushed at the Battle of Trafalgar.

Hi everyone. Welcome to or welcome back to my blog.
Today I want to talk about friendship. I have been lucky enough to have met some of my best friends in my life already who I know will be in my life forever. I also have met people who I thought I'd be friends with forever but things didn't end up working. When you're young, drifting apart from someone can be really scary and a really shitty feeling. I mean who wants to lose a friend they've spent so much time in life with? However, as I have gotten older and have gone through situations where I have completely disconnected from friends or have drifted from I've learned that sometimes it's for the better.
Sometimes I wonder, what did I do or what could I have done to prevent that from happening, but sometimes friends just don't work out and it has nothing to do with the people. It's just all about growing up. When you grow, you start to learn things about yourself and you start putting yourself first and realizing some people might not match the way you are growing, which is perfectly fine and it's all part of growing up.
Being in your twenties is an awesome but also tricky time of life. You are so busy trying to balance everything in your life and sometimes you start prioritizing one thing over another. I have learned that your true friends will be there for you no matter what. Life gets busy, sometimes it's hard to balance things. Don't feel bad for trying to focus on yourself. Sometimes friends don't have enough time to hang out and I believe that is a normal situation that happens. People move out of there family homes, we all have different school schedules, jobs, in relationships etc.
However, I have also learned the importance of balance and effort. You should always try and make time for your friends. Even if it's just a hangout every month, it's the thought that counts. The less effort you start showing, the more people will start to drift. If only one person is putting in the effort it starts to feel one-sided and that is not a good feeling. It's really important to communicate with that friend if you're in that situation. Sometimes it works out for the better and sometimes it doesn't. However, I believe that the ones that end can be for the better. If both people start lacking then what's the point? If it's one-sided, it eventually gets tiring and it's not worth it if the other person gives up. Everything will work out for the better in the long run. Don't be afraid if you are in a situation like that. It's the most important to talk the person first of course but it is okay to drift apart from someone. It's all apart of growing up.
Thanks for reading 🙂

The Corvette brand has become a household name, not only in the States but around the globe. Our favorite sportscar competes in a variety of classes, piloted by both pro, and amateur drivers. Just recently, highly-capable Corvettes went against some of the best this world has to offer, on a variety of tracks.
On Home Soil
Here at home, the factory-sponsored Corvette Racing team competed on the rolling hills around Alton, Virginia at Virginia International Raceway's IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship on Sunday.
After an exciting qualifying, the Corvette Racing team enjoyed a well-earned third-place finish in the Michelin GT Challenge. To help illustrate how close the competition is among teams in this class, one only has to look at the amount of time that separates competitors. Driver Jan Magnussen went for broke during his last qualifying lap in the No. 3 Corvette and set a lap of 1:40.708, only 0.078 seconds off overall pole-winner Laurens Vanthoor. Oliver Gavin's last lap also was his best – 1:41.578 – and placed the No. 4 Corvette fifth on the grid.
To add to the complexity, the team had just completed an engine swap on the No. 4 Corvette in just over an hour, prior to the qualifying lap. The team had discovered potential fuel delivery issues after Saturday's morning practice laps and felt the need to swap engines as a precautionary measure.
When the green flag began waving, the two Corvettes competed for most of the GTLM class for the final step on the podium. There was a fierce fight within the class and a small contact with Dirk Mueller in the No. 66 Ford in the midpoint of the race. The two cars made contact at the end of the back straight, but both got away relatively damage-free.
The two Corvettes and the two Fords were nose-to-tail following the final round of pit stops with only 35 minutes remaining. Garcia made a daring move, which placed him back on the podium, and Milner followed him through by overtaking both Fords a couple of corners later. I think we can let Corvette Racing's Jan Magnussen give a pretty good wrap up of the race.
In the end, the finish position moved Garcia and Magnussen back into third place in the GTLM Drivers Championship with two rounds left in the season. Corvette Racing's next event is the IMSA Monterey Grand Prix at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca on Sept. 13-15, 2019.
10 Hours Of Suzuka
Corvettes also competed on tracks in Japan and Germany this weekend. The 10 Hours of Suzuka was held on the Suzuka International Racing Course, otherwise known as the Suzuka Circuit, in Ino, Suzuka City, Mie Prefecture, Japan.
Callaway Competition joined with Japan's Bingo Racing to take on the competition during the track's famed 10-hour endurance race in a race-prepped Callaway Corvette C7 GT3-R. Part of the Intercontinental GT Challenge, the 10-hour race pits competitors against the elements, darkness and the grueling Suzuka Circuit.
The Callaway C7 GT3-R competed under the capable hands of drivers Shinji Takei (Japan), Ryo Ogawa (Japan), and Markus Pommer (Germany). The Number 37 Callaway Competition/Bingo Racing C7 GT3-R took home Second in the Intercontinental GT Challenge's Silver class.
Corvette On The Nurburgring
Callaway Competition GT3-R Corvette also hit the 'Ring during the ADAC GT Masters series race that was run the week prior, on August 16-18, 2019 at the Nürburgring. Coming off of perplexing races at Zandvoort the previous week, the Callaway Competition team was able to get in some valuable testing before the race.
Unfortunately, during qualifying, the car developed a misfire and driver Markus Pommer was forced to shut the car down. It was determined that a loss of fuel pressure was the reason for the misfire and the car was up and running once again. Due to ADAC GT Masters rules, the car was required to start Saturday's race from the back of the field.
Both Callaway drivers, Markus Pommer and Marvin Kirchhöfer worked their way up through the field and when the checkered flag waved, they had worked their way up to 12th place. This gave them some all-important points for the championship at the end of the season.
Sunday's race was more of the same, with both drivers besting the competition to gain position, one step at a time. Starting from position 20 for Sunday's event, they eventually worked their way to the Eighth position before time ran out. This again, brought in some very welcome championship points.
At the end of the Nurburgring event, Callaway Competition is currently in Second Place in the points race and the next race will be held on their home track, the Hockenheimring, on September 13-15, 2019.
Be Sure To Watch
Whether at home or abroad, one of the best ways we can encourage the teams of men and women who work so hard to keep Corvettes out in front of the competition, is to actively participate in their efforts. We can do this by watching them compete and cheering them on, whether physically or virtually.
The world has grown to love Corvette, and Corvette has grown into an international sensation. Thankfully, we've got the technology that enables us to share in the various teams' victories and tribulations almost instantly. Corvette's performance is at an all-time high, and all we need to do is be there. Thankfully, with today's technology, that's easier than ever.

Lebanon, (Palestine Telegraph) -By Samaa Abu Sharar – I don't know about you but every time something of this magnitude happens in Palestine, I am overwhelmed by the unpleasant feelings of helplessness, uselessness and guilt. I have been meaning to write on this since the day the latest Israeli war on Gaza was launched, but every time I sit to put down my thoughts, they seem trivial considering the gravity of the unfolding events in Palestine.
Is even the fact that I am reflecting on this considered a luxury?
I mean what gives me the right to complain about feeling useless, helpless and guilty for not doing anything for my people while they are being slaughtered in cold blood by the Israeli occupation forces in Gaza?
What gives me the right to complain about feeling useless, helpless and guilty while sitting in the comfort of my home in Beirut doing what I usually do, while people in Gaza cram into what they see as the 'safest room in their home', in fear of being hit by an Israeli missile?
What gives me the right to complain about feeling useless, helpless and guilty when I go on with my daily errands while the life of people in Gaza has come to a halt or is shattered to pieces?
What gives me the right to complain about feeling useless, helpless and guilty when as a mother I can still hold my daughter and give her a goodnight kiss while many mothers in Gaza have been deprived of this for good?
What gives me the right to complain about feeling useless, helpless and guilty when I can still cuddle in the warmth of my bed at night with my husband by my side while many women in Gaza have lost their husbands and their homes?
What gives me the right to complain about feeling useless, helpless and guilty when I have running water all the time while water has become a rarity in Gaza?
What gives me the right to complain about feeling useless, helpless and guilty when despite the three-hour daily electricity cut in Beirut, I can still enjoy electricity most of the day while people in Gaza live in the dark?
I can go on and on about feeling useless, helpless and guilty and I know that I am not alone. I have read so many comments on the social media in this regard, where people like me are overwhelmed by the events taking place in Gaza but are unable to do anything tangible to change the course of the events. I have been desperately trying, as I am sure many others, to be of some use since the Israeli aggression on Gaza started. I have written some articles here and there on the issue. I have helped with some translation of articles here and there so as our voice can be better heard in the West. I have participated in events in support of the Palestinian people and I have shared as much information as I can on the social media regarding the ongoing war and the heinous crimes Israel is committing against Palestinians. Did this make me feel better? Well not really.
But what it actually did is it got me to think of the things I, as an individual, can do not only during dire times but on daily basis so as the war on Gaza will not be repeated every two years or so and so we as Palestinians will not suffer again the loss of so many innocent lives.
As Arabs, Palestinians are no different, we are emotional people, very much taken by the moment, but we easily forget few days later. I am sure when the war on Gaza will be over, the majority of us will move on to something else. We will stop thinking about Gaza and we will stop thinking about how the people of Gaza will rebuild their lives with the little resources they have. We do that every time something of this sort happens. We get so psyched up and as soon things calm down we fade away hoping that the consequences of this war will fade away as well. I am sure his time will be no different because sadly enough this is our nature and this is exactly what makes us different from other people around the world. They act on the injustice they see while we unfortunately only react and thus quickly forget.
The latest war on Gaza should be taken as a lesson. Being physically outside the occupied Palestinian territories does not mean we have to be useless or helpless. We can actually start by taking tangible steps in our daily life so as not to feel helpless and useless again. I have compiled a short list to which I will commit myself so as I can become of some use to Gaza and to Palestine:
1) I will start using the correct terminology when I refer to Israel. Despite the fact that we have been occupied and oppressed by the state of Israel for the last 64 years, Israel and its supporters has the audacity to label us as terrorists and lovers of violence who use their children as human shields. Well from now on I shall only adopt the correct terminology when I refer to the Jewish state. Israel practices state terrorism and that is how it should be referred to. Israel is an Apartheid state and that is how it should be referred to. Israel is a baby killer and that is how it should be referred to. We Palestinians have been too kind in our description of Israel and this should change.
2) I will learn to better address the Western media about our cause. Israel has mastered the media game for years and sadly has been able to manipulate the world to its advantage. The Palestinians on the other hand, may have just started to learn how to address the Western media to mobilize the public for their cause, but there remains so much work to be done.
3) I will sign as many petitions as I can and I will write to the media as much as I can when the need arises. I know many of us, and I am one of those who don't give much attention to petitions that we come across but we should reconsider our position because petitions do make a difference and change positions. This goes in hand with writing to any media outlet when you feel that it is being, biased towards Palestine and its people.
4) I will get more involved in my local community to raise awareness as much as I can about Palestine and the Palestinians and the need to end occupation and all the atrocities committed by the Jewish state. We should not wait until something of this magnitude to take place to get involved.
5) I shall contribute in all means possible (material and in-kind assistance) to any organization that can help the people of Gaza. Small contributions whether we know it or not do make a difference in the lives of so many.
6) Last and not least is I will become committed to support the international boycott movement and encourage all my family members, friends and acquaintances to do so because this is what hurts Israel most. God knows that I have been trying for the last couple of years to convince some family members and friends about skipping a cup of coffee at Starbucks or to skip a meal at McDonald's or to substitute a lotion of a certain brand affiliated with some company that pours money into Israel with another, but my efforts remain modest. This needs to become a daily routine for all of us.
I am sure each of us can compile a list of her/his own to make sure that we no longer feel helpless and useless as Palestinians who don't live in the occupied territories. If we want Israeli occupation to end, and if we want Israeli atrocities to end, then our activism should become a daily habit, not an occasional one.

Attempt to inspect and debug and then you are going to realize it's painful and you're going to miss all of the characteristics from Chrome dev tool. Be mindful that absence of access to a number of the features below can be regarded as a security attribute by privacy-conscious users. Native programs supply the quickest and most dependable experience to users. The aforementioned messaging apps are, naturally, native apps. All browsers execute some type of it. It is possible to also automate mobile browsers. Creating a internet app can be quick and simple.
There are a variety of forms of prospects. If a prospect does not have a matter or has an issue product or your service won't fix for them, you will be spinning your wheels attempting to place them up available. If it reveals a clear demand for service or your product, don't fall into the trap many salespeople fall into. You should understand how to manage each sort of prospect.
Usually, your target is to control a resource to cater to a particular use case. Your aim in locating the reply to the prospects' issues is to acquire the pleasure they would like to achieve or the pain they would like to avoid, and after that show them how your goods or services can help them avoid that pain, or obtain the pleasure they seek. You're likely to want to make sure to pay your balance in full every month and keep a good credit score by making your payments in time. You may add a request and tests and string them together. There are a few aspects that will need to get ironed out and solved before SceneScout be running and also can definitely take off the floor.
How to Get Started with Discover It Vs Discover It Chrome?
If you are unable to remain educated about your bills, your credit suffers which might make it even more troublesome to receive a car or house loan on. You guessed you save a bit of instant and could have a cut. Remember that if you're grilling your meat and with heat then you'll minimize the number of smoke that the meat can consume. Is the actuality that the smoke that's produced tends to decline since the charcoal becomes ashed over. Gas grills have a great deal of benefits of the own. The warmth a charcoal grill generates can be tough to control which may cause an irregular cooking period.
With ReRead, you may choose to receive anywhere from 1 to ten links, on a daily basis or a particular day once per week. Pages anticipate a lot of tools and resource prioritization is a troublesome issue for browsers. Currently you receive a web page. In accordance with Outread, you ought to be in a position to make it via your articles faster than usual. If you would like more than 1 post per day, check out ReRead.
The subject of privacy can be about the locale of interest. Therefore it is seems that there's a matter. Among the most problems about grilling is gas versus charcoal.
Some cards do not have expiration dates provided that you use your own card . Another factor to take into account when picking from a credit card and a personal loan would be your aims. Consider switching to a different card if a specific card has an yearly fee that's waived the initial calendar year. It's very much like the Student Chrome Card. Even in the event that you've got less than perfect credit, there continue to be a few alternatives. Or perhaps you need cash back to pay on anything you want. You will need the buy to be generated by a Chrome accounts and you'll have the ability to take care of your subscription on Google Payments.
The cost of the charcoal is a good deal then the sum of gas. You see, folks will purchase your goods or service to meet one of two chief needs. To start with, you wish to ascertain what service or product they're currently using. If you would like to generate a brand new product for mobile devices, you ought to pick between a world wide web a native or a application.
Preloaded resources employing the attribute is going to have the same resource priorityas the sort of resource they're currently asking. People like to speak about themselves, and wish to share information regarding problems their situation, likes and dislikes. After that, go to Chrome Internet Store to see whether you're on the same email. Please visit our article surge mastercard .

About two years or so ago, I began copious notes on what would become my Reruns project. Before I was able to get totally obsessed with the project, I recognized that I was in the middle of Damen and if I got sidetracked, I'd never finish either of them, so I set aside my notes for another day. I later promised myself that I would begin my Reruns weekly postings the same day I sent out Damen for the first time.
Yesterday, I finally got Ubuntu up and running properly on my laptop, and after using Playonlinux and Wine, I got Office 2007 running on Ubuntu. I opened a brand new page, let my fingers tap against my laptop's home row, and yet had nothing to write. Years of focus on Damen left me with nothing to write at that moment, which confused me a little.
At this stage in Damen, I'm not entirely finished with it, but it's no longer something I can pull up in a Word doc and just start writing/editing as I've been doing for the past year. This tells me that, though I'm not yet ready to send out Damen, I am ready to make good on my Reruns promise to myself.
In order to have my first Reruns story ready by the time, I'm ready to send Damen, I need to begin really writing it now. Seeing as how Reruns encompasses multi-"chapter" short stories, I shouldn't require 3 years a piece to write these, but with that said, I need to ensure I'm prepared for my Send Day.
So, tonight, I'll begin putting real effort into Reruns…It's a little strange, though, to see all these things I've fantasized about doing slowly coming into fruition. It's almost as if I'm outside of myself and watching this happen. Very odd, indeed.

The American television star Kim Kardashian is always news for his publications on social networks. On this occasion, she scared his millions of Instagram followers by showing off with a rather spooky choker necklace.
Kardashian published a couple of videos showing a choker – which appears to be an implant under his skin – that lights up to the beat of his heartbeat.
"My necklace shines to the beat of my heartbeat, " Kim says in a clip.
Say what?! @KimKardashian shows off "alien necklace implant" that lights up to the rhythm of her heartbeat. The temporary piece is part of an art experience called 'A. Human' founded by her friend @SimonHuck. pic.twitter.com/mTcA12khA9

Past Lecale member Emma Sharkey is in the triathlon this morning. Sycerika McMahon, Jordan Sloan and the NI Womens 4 x 100m freestyle team relay have all made semis/finals this evening.
If you want a break from the sun, the BBC has excellent coverage of all the swimming heats, semis and finals in the 2014 Commonwealth Games. Watch out for Northern Irish swimmers Sycerika McMahon (Leander/Texas A&M), Rachel Bethel (Lisburn), Gemma Kane (Bangor), David Thompson (Invictus/Loughborough University), Curtis Coulter (Ards), Danielle Hill (Larne), Conor Munn (Ards), Jordan Sloan and Bethany Firth (Ards).
Past Lecale member Emma Sharkey is in the triathlon this morning. Sycerika McMahon, Jordan Sloan and the NI Womens 4 x 100m freestyle team relay have all made semis/finals this evening.
Lecale swimmer Daniel Molloy joined over nine hundred swimmers from all over Ireland for the Irish Age Group Championships. The top tier of Irish swimming talent, including Commonwealth swimmers Bethany Carson, Danielle Hill, Curtis Coulter and Irish Olympian Barry Murphy, were also joined by swimmers from all over the UK, Germany, Abu Dabai and South Africa.
With today's finals still to to come, Ulster swimmers have had considerable success so far. Ards, Lisburn, Bangor, Banbridge, Lurgan, Larne and Olympia have won six gold, seven silver and seven bronze individual medals and at least four relay team medals in total. A just reward for swimmers who have committed to an average weekly training time of between twelve and twenty hours. Most notable of the results came from 14 year old Conor Ferguson from Larne. Conor's 57.96 100m backstroke time broke the Ulster record of 59.68, set by Curtis Coulter in 2012, aged seventeen, and leaves Conor just a stroke away from the Irish U19 record of 56.62.
Daniel took 24 seconds off his 400m freestyle yesterday finishing in 5:17.14 and today finished just 0.78S outside his 200m backstroke PB in a time of 2:39.09. It was a great experience to be part of a meet of this standard and hopefully there'll be more Lecale qualifiers next year, however Lecale swimmers would require a huge increase in the amount of pool time they have to have a realistic chance of being a serious competitors.

Thank you so much for your excellent service while inspecting our potential home. Your team was efficient, professional, friendly and helpful. We were highly impressed and would recommend your services to anyone we know that is purchasing a new home.
As a first time home buyer we wanted a second opinion from a previous inspection. We could not have chosen a better team to do our inspection. Steven and Trevor were wonderful! They did an extremely thorough job. They pointed out a major problem with the foundation that was missed and explained to us what would be required to try and repair the issue. They walked the whole property with us explaining what they see and where the problems were. They answered any and all issues that we had and eased any concerns that we had. Thanks to them we opted not continue with our home buying process due to the extent of major damages to the property, but we will definitely be calling on them again for another home inspection. We will highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wonderful home inspection company. Their prices are extremely reasonable for the amount of extensive work that they perform. They are very punctual, extremely professional, very informative and very pleasant knowing that they take the time to explain everything to us.
Excellent job…very knowledgeable and expert customer service! Fast and efficient.
Steven was professional and knowledgeable. He ensured that he communicated priority items during the inspection and was careful to explain what to expect once the full report was received the following day.

BioAlexander graduated from Harvard in Chemistry and Physics and earned an M.Phil in Computational Biology and Diploma in Greek from the University of Cambridge. He has a Ph.D. in Computational and Mathematical Engineering from Stanford, where he teaches machine learning and data science. Prior to Stanford, he worked in superconducting and quantum computing at Northrop Grumman. As a current research fellow in the Stanford School of Medicine (Department of Biomedical Data Science), his work focuses on applying computational methods to problems in genomics and population genetics.
I work on novel algorithm design (particularly ancestry related) for several large-scale genomic studies that aim at understanding genetic causes of disease.
I also focus on projects at the intersection of history and population genetics, including work with native communities. As the grandson of Cappadocians expelled from their native land, I try to engage with the complex sentiments of displaced indigenous peoples in these projects. Pain over the disruption of community heritage and over dispossession from traditional sites often remains raw. If engagement with descendant communities is lacking, research into our past can often feel like a continuation, even a legitimation, of dispossession. Combined alongside a dialogue with native communities, however, genetics can play a small role in helping to reclaim ancestral stories and dispersed ancestral connections. I hope our work in this area plays a constructive role in that process.

They use both orthodox engines and electric motors in an optimum mix
Steady improvements in battery technology, driven along by the electrification of road transport, are helping air taxis and other small electric aircraft get airborne. But even the best lithium-ion cells are still far from being able to power the workhorses of civil aviation: short-haul airliners carrying 150 or so passengers. An electric version would not be able to rise from the ground, because of the weight of the batteries required to drive its engines. Nevertheless, many aerospace experts continue to think that electric flight is the future, at least in hybrid form.
This could be achieved by starting with smaller hybrid airliners, such as those carrying 50 or so passengers on regional routes, and then scaling the technology up. Details of one such effort, called Project 804, illustrate how the airborne equivalent of a hybrid Toyota Prius might work. Den Rest des Beitrags lesen »

Whether you're hoping for a new smartphone or tablet over the holidays or you've already unwrapped one (lucky you), you'll probably start playing with your new device by testing out its camera, tapping through a few games and logging into your favourite social media sites.
Now what? It's time to customize your device by downloading a few dozen apps.
But with more than two million apps available at the App Store (for iPhone) or Google Play (for Android devices), it can be difficult to work out which are worthy of your time. Not including games, here are a few freebies to help get you going with your new toy.
You've heard of Google Maps, but drivers should consider loading Waze onto their smartphone as it's the world's largest community-based navigation app. By crowd-sourcing traffic and road information from millions of Waze users ("Wazers"), the app delivers real-time data on the roads around you, including sites of accidents, construction zones, speed traps and more—all to give you the fastest route to your destination. Plus, you can also stream your Spotify playlist through Waze, opt for celebrity voices to give you directions and find deals near you, including free coffee and other promotions.
If you're a Netflix subscriber, you can take your favourite videos with you in your pocket. Stream thousands of television shows and movies—including many exclusives—whether you want to search by keyboard, browse by category or pick up where you last left off (even on another Netflix device, such as a Smart TV). You can even download movies and shows to watch offline if you know you're going to be without Wi-Fi. Also consider streaming video from sites such as Amazon Prime Video, YouTube and Crackle.
TuneIn Radio
While there are awesome music apps such as Spotify and Google Play Music, be sure to also download and use TuneIn Radio, a free app that gives you more than 100,000 radio stations from around the world—from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, in fact—covering all genres of music plus talk, news, sports, politics, religion and more. This app also delivers millions of podcasts to subscribe to.
Speaking of music, Apple's GarageBand is a stellar (and free) music-creation app and portable recording studio for iPhones and iPads. Whether you're a budding musician or seasoned professional, you can connect real instruments to record and mix music. And there are several virtual instruments ready for play (with automated chords and riffs), including pianos and synthesizers, drums, guitar and bass. You can even add vocals on top of your musical creation.
Of course, you're well aware that you can buy e-books and audiobooks for your smartphone. But did you know you can also borrow them for free, from your local library's website? No more schlepping to and from the library, and no late fees! As long as you have your library card and the free Libby by OverDrive app installed, you will have access to more than 30,000 supported libraries worldwide. And it's not just old classics but many of the newer bestsellers too, for both e-books and audiobooks.
Learn a new language with Duolingo, which makes it fun to tackle Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, English, Russian, Chinese, Korean, Japanese and many others. With bite-sized lessons, you'll start off matching words with pictures, hearing what they sound like and saying words into your phone. Duolingo also has a "gamification" element, so you'll earn XP (experience) points and hearts. Duolingo is as fun as it is accessible and educational.
Office Lens
Microsoft's Office Lens is like having a flatbed scanner in your pocket. Snap a pic of a document, whiteboard, receipt or business card, and it'll be immediately digitized onto your device. You can trim each document once imported. Plus, printed and handwritten text will be automatically recognized (using OCR technology), so you can search for words in images and then copy and edit them. If desired, you can import your documents into Office apps (Word, PowerPoint or OneNote), save them to OneDrive or other cloud storage, or convert them into PDFs.
Google Translate
Google Translate is a traveller's dream for its ease of use, support of an incredible 103 languages (for text translation), offline support (for 59 languages) and many ways to translate one language into another. For example, use your smartphone for speech translation, handwriting support, bilingual conversations, a quick-access phrasebook and even an augmented-reality feature, with which you can translate text in images instantly by pointing your phone's camera at a sign, menu or photograph (38 languages).
At a quarter of a century old, the longest-
standing hotel booking service—now a mega-popular app—benefits from a clean interface, maps and Uber integration, support for smartwatches, a "secret price" feature, and the best loyalty and rewards program around (including a "stay 10 nights and get the next one free" feature). To reduce the likelihood of fake reviews, all customers who rate or review a hotel must have stayed there. Smart!
Whether you need a more effective way
to stay organized or simply want to jot down
ideas wherever life takes you, the free Evernote app lets you create, view, organize, search and share your ideas—sort of like a digital version of yellow sticky notes, if you will—but also with the option to include voice notes, photos, web clippings and videos, too. An auto-sync cloud feature means your notes are automatically saved and accessible on other Evernote platforms, such as the web, a personal computer or other mobile devices.
Forget making a mess with those paper flyers you get in the mail each week: Toronto-based Flipp delivers all your local store ads to your phone, tablet or computer. Just type in your postal code the first time you use Flipp, and it will let you browse or search for deals at stores near you—whether you're looking for groceries, household goods, fashion items or consumer electronics—while a smart shopping-list feature will show you the best picks based on the words you type in. The app also holds your loyalty cards, so you don't have to carry a pocket (or purse) full of physical cards with you.
One of the newer apps in this round-up, Prisma turns your photos and videos into works of art. Taking filters to the next level, the app cleverly applies artificial intelligence while scanning your captured images and creates something new in the vein of Van Gogh, Picasso, Munch or one of nearly 30 other famous artists or art styles. Easy to use and share, Prisma also lets you tweak your results in various other ways.
Other recommended "must have" free apps include Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint); Flipboard; Yelp; Uber, UberEATS, and Lyft; Plex; Mint; and Skype, Google Duo or FaceTime.

... was deciding to build boats myself and develop a company. I built my first boat in 1968. I was a marine engineer and I decided to start making boats because the company I was working for - BMC - imported boats that were either American or Scandinavian. I had a great passion to create something British that was the best of its type.
Everything is made in Poole. We design, develop and manufacture the boats here. In the past year, we've made 330 boats, from 47ft out to 120ft. The only way I've succeeded is by building a team around me.
I still have a very hands-on role but that has changed over the years. I didn't want to step back, because people who start their own businesses don't feel that they can ever let go. But I realised that to succeed at a business and to keep it British, I had to bring in skills from other industries.
I started that about eight years ago. We brought in an accountant from the City, manufacturing skills from people trained in the US, and product developers from BMW. It was the only way forward.
In the early '80s, we were invited to start building boats in Canada, but that was a major mistake. They said they'd put the money in, and we'd give them the technology - which we did. Interestingly, the product they built looked good and they had the American market then. In the end, we brought the boats back here, because we found that although they looked good, the galleys fell out when we started to use them. We had already put some boats out but, luckily, we found the problem, rectified it and stopped production in Canada.
It was a harsh lesson, because it could have damaged us seriously. We decided that we wouldn't build elsewhere in the world ever again - we would always build in Poole under our own management.
You can imagine this is the biggest thing we could ask, because it's much cheaper to manufacture elsewhere in the world. But we are resolute. We have problems with the pound, which means we have to get more efficient because you can make the best product but it has to be at the right price.

Celebrate Diversity Miami
Team Member: Sharie Blanton
Naomi Ross wrote -
In summer 2014 I became inspired to begin the journey of following my personal mission statement: To creatively develop spaces that spark conversations on diversity, encourage collaboration, and inspire action to address social change. I was taking a course for my master's in Community & Social Change program, and happened to learn about an organization based on the west coast of Florida called 'Embracing Our Differences' (EOD). The EOD mission is to promote diversity and inclusion throughout their community, and for over 10 years it has collaborated with schools in Sarasota County to produce a free large-scale, outdoor art exhibit that's been seen by 1.5 million visitors. So I thought, "Why not bring a similar exhibit to greater Miami?" and the idea for 'Celebrate Diversity Miami' (CDM) was born!
For the past ten months CDM has evolved from a simple (albeit initially super ambitious) concept written on paper, into a more feasible project that it is well on its way to becoming a full-fledged reality in less than a month. On Saturday, April 11, 2015 the very first CDM Photo-voice Exhibit will premiere at Museum Park, thanks to a wonderful partnership with South Florida's annual civic engagement festival, PhilanthroFest. The exhibit features a vibrant selection of 60+ images submitted by local residents, schools, and community-based organizations from across Miami-Dade County. Afterwards, it will commence a countywide tour and travel to various neighborhood venues throughout the year, starting with Pinecrest Gardens on April 29th. In addition, thanks to another great partnership with MCCJ, it will be accompanied by group dialogue opportunities that are open to the public.
From the very beginning, CDM has been a grassroots initiative. It would not have progressed to where it is today without an on-going supportive network of friends and family who have volunteered their skills and time. I am grateful for the guidance on facilitating a strategic planning session and to those who attended, for the help with initiating CDM's social media presence and drafting press releases, for the design of our kick-off event flyer and all the promotional outreach, for everyone who submitted a photo to our exhibit, for the exhibit's incredible panel of guest judges, for the spaces that will host our traveling exhibit, for a growing number of community partners that make our overall activities possible, and last but certainly not least YOU, the person reading about this fundraiser.
Your contribution, whether it's $5, $10, $15, or $20+, will become a key part of the positive impact I believe CDM is going to have on contributing to a deepened sense of connectivity between our diverse communities of greater Miami. An application to the Awesome Foundation Miami's mini-grant program was submitted, but unfortunately it wasn't considered for their latest monthly grant cycle, so funding raised via Crowdrise will go towards the costs for printing custom, color exhibit panels. Additional money collected beyond the goal for this fundraiser will be applied to our group dialogue programming. I would also like to explore options for producing a limited edition book that tells a visual and descriptive story of the 2015 exhibit.
Thank you so much for taking the time to learn about CDM and why I have launched this fundraising campaign. If you're not able to donate funds personally, I invite you to pass the info along to others who might be able to. To stay updated on what's to come for CDM, please "Like" our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/CelebrateDiversityMiami and/or follow us on Twitter @DiversityMiami. The social media hashtag is #DiversityMiami just in case you want to share anything related to our efforts. I'd be more than happy to answer any questions you might have, so feel free to send me an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com with "CrowdRise Question" in the subject line.

To get data from electronic signatures we have a crude temporary fix.
First: The quick, easy, solution even if not ideal: Export Contacts.
You can then revise the data in Excel or Google Spreadsheets as needed. We know this isn't ideal – the next version of SwiftCloud already in process (as of Jan 2016) has far more advanced tools with boolean controls – but for now, this should work.
You'll then see 2 options: Comma Separated and Tab Separated.
Note if you have data likely to contain commas in the native data – for example, street addresses written out like
123 Maple Lane, Niceville, CA, 90210
then we recommend Tab separated values. The same might apply if you are not using number validation and customers are likely to have written $123,000.00 in a field. Note: Our forms system including electronic signature do have the ability to strip out non-numeric characters for this reason.
What could we do to improve this?

Richard Garriot, creator of Ultima Online and Tabula Rasa, is a happy man today. Sir Richard has won $28 million in damages from the Korean publisher over his in-voluntary departure from the company.
NCsoft apparently characterized Garriot leaving the company as voluntary, forcing him to sell his stock options at a time when the market was bleeding severely which cost the developer millions of dollars. The jury sided with Garriot's claim that he was actually in-voluntarily terminated from NCsoft, and handed him enough cash to get himself launched into space a few times over.
For those of you who don't know, Garriot is a bit of a space nut and has actually participated in a space flight to the international space station aboard a Russian Soyuz spacecraft.
Garriot commented on his recent victory…
"I am extremely pleased with the jury's decision," he said in a statement. "The facts were clear that my departure from NCsoft was not voluntary. I am very pleased with the final award."
Not suprisingly, NCsoft is looking into options to appeal the jury's decision.

The styling industry is overpopulated with hundreds of different brands and products which no one cares about. It's time for some fashion packaging.[hr]
Could you tell, without taking a look, the brand of your hairdryer? Or any of your hair styling tools, for that matter? Neither could anybody else, because the hair styling field is infamous for its low branding impact. It's to be expected from such an overcrowded industry space.
But it doesn't have to be like so. Back in 2012, Jerdon Style licensed the Rampage women's clothing brand for a line of hair styling tools. But they didn't give in to dull and boring designs ─ they reinvented the brand with a much more fashionable packaging.
Helena Yoon, Creative Director of Anthem, (the agency that articulated the Rampage brand, and led the structural design of both the product and its packaging), explained the challenge:
[quote style="boxed"]"Our challenge was to bring a lifestyle brand into a category where branding was essentially invisible (…) In our research, consumers actually surprised themselves by having no idea what brand of styling products they were using. We also had to bring a powerful style halo into what was typically a very function- and feature-driven technology space."[/quote]
Anthem's design had to be strikingly enough to catch the eye, but not so much as to leave behind the product's technical capabilities. The target consumer, trendy women from 18 to 32 y.o., are attracted by glitter and leopard print; and that's what Jennifer Murtell, Director of Design Strategy at Anthem, designed over.
[quote style="boxed"]"Overdoing these elements would cheapen the perceived quality of the product and lack sophistication. Similarly, visual cues that are too cute and bubbly don't go over well with this audience. Soft colors and flowery accents with a 'girly innocence' feel too young and passive—not dynamic enough to believably be the Rampage girl."[/quote]
The Rampage hairdryer design might not seem too much of a ship in a sea of cruisers, but it's certainly innovative. In the words of Yoon:
[quote style="boxed"]"While it meets consumers' functional needs, it also provides an elevated fashion experience that is missing from the rest of the competitive landscape."[/quote]
And let's not forget the key value of the packaging experience. As AJ Schlake-Betz, managing director for Anthem's Toronto office, puts it:
[quote style="boxed"]"Desirability makes consumers feel more passionate and involved in brands—through packaging, we can inspire action and help drive brand performance."[/quote]
Sponsored by Derprosa, leading brand in biaxially oriented polypropylene films for packaging.

The Washita County Courthouse, Cordell, Okla., has a colorful history that began long before statehood. Stories abound about the location, with local residents relating details of stolen court records ending in a gun fight, a mysterious fire and most recently, a movie filmed with A-list celebrities. The City of New Cordell, commonly known as Cordell, came into existence in 1897 when H. D. Young, a local merchant who had set up shop one and a half miles from the present location, moved his general store and post office to the new site.
Throughout the years, the courthouse has been the scene of drama and suspense. In 1899, two local homesteaders and farmers, A. J. Johnson and James C. Harrel, donated land for the courthouse square and arranged for an election to have the county seat moved from Cloud Chief. Controversy surrounded the city as questions of legality arose after the election.
Because Oklahoma was at the time still a territory, a county seat could only be established by Congress. The election was finally sanctioned by Congress in 1906, but in the meantime, the original, wood frame courthouse was moved from Cloud Chief to Cordell's present location in 1900. According to local lore, a gun fight broke out when some impatient citizens moved the court records in the middle of the night from Cloud Chief to Cordell. Even now, residents recount how the county seat was "stolen." Read more in the OKFR January issue.
