What's relevant?Edit
I'm not sure the information on this page contributes meaningfully to the wiki. It seems like we've just cut and pasted the topics from the viral promo site, and there's not much there that actually relates to DmC. Also, people keep wanting to add stuff about Fox News. I don't think it's appropriate to include information about the real-life channel here, either. I'm in favor of shrinking this article severely. --Anobi 22:03, May 24, 2012 (UTC)
- The reason the information for the Viral site was added is because Capcom has a Habit of closing the Viral Sites, Trust me they have do it many time before and that Information is lost for good. So to preserve the information from the Viral Site I copied it here.
- As for adding information from Fox News, people are just grasping at similarity's between the two stations. They have nothing in common and are in no way tied to each other. -=X Zero X=- 22:09, May 24, 2012 (UTC)
- Sorry for the delayed response. I kind of forgot about this. ^_^; While it's nice to know you're concerned about preserving every detail about the game, we don't need to mirror the viral site on the wiki. The purpose of this wiki is to be comprehensive, not exhaustive. The page would do just fine to summarize the purpose of the viral site. --Anobi 04:56, June 7, 2012 (UTC)
This is to talk the discussion away from an "undoing" war. So far all evidence, from the game itself to what the developers have said, points to the fact that Raptor News Network is a parody of Fox News. Despite there being many different cable news outlets, only one in particular (Fox) is responsible for massive amounts of misinformation, and being hosted by loudmouth conservative. The developers have acknowledged it in all but name itself because they probably don't feel like getting sued by Newscorp. As I said, Raptor is Fox, and Bob Barbas is Bill O'Reilly, and it's painfully obvious if you know anything about the two :/
The references to it parodying Fox should be left up because there is way more information that points to it being true than what contradicts it. Derekoe|Hot-blooded God of Guns| (talk) 22:33, August 30, 2012 (UTC)
- I'm not going to argue with you over the parody (you're most likely right), but don't you think you're taking it too far? Exactly how the hell is Barbas a conservative for example? All we've seen him do is lash out at Dante! That's hardly a right wing ideology in itself, or any kind of ideology for that matter.
- Following along that line, MSNBC's Hardball is hosted "by a very opinionated, liberal who feels he's always right in whatever he says on his show". Does that somehow make Barbas a liberal?
- Well, "conservative" just in the way he's talked about values ("Just doin' God's work") and in the way that he depicts Dante in a non-conservative manner, like where Barbas explains Dante's supposed sexual deviancy as completely horrible thing (since sexual deviancy is against conservative values). Being a demon, Barbas is really probably not all that conservative (and probably has little to do with conservative values), but he plays the part to manipulate society.Derekoe|Hot-blooded God of Guns| (talk) 01:10, August 31, 2012 (UTC)
- From everything Barbas has said, and what was on their "website," signs don't point to any sort of liberal mindset. However, the parody has less to do with any actual "conservative values," and much more about misinformation and manipulating societal trends, which (despite their conservative bent) Fox News is notorious for, and Raptor is very clearly echoing.Derekoe|Hot-blooded God of Guns| (talk) 01:10, August 31, 2012 (UTC)
- (Also - remember to put FOUR of these ~ after your posts, so everyone knows who's talking)
- This is exactly the type of political rhetoric we're trying to avoid on the Wiki. Please, please please please, please, do NOT post inflammatory political crap like this on the wiki, Derekoe. Your political views and opinions are your OWN, and should NOT be reflected by this wiki, no matter how right you think you are. We do not allow this kind of debate. We continue to remove the "Background" about RNN being related to Fox because it IS political, and it has already proven itself to be controversial. This wiki is about a game; it is not about taking sides in the political war. (Besides, NT is an European company. Who the hell are they to comment on an American news network?) --Anobi (talk) 01:18, August 31, 2012 (UTC)
- (Derekoe, PLEASE don't mess up responses like that. Let them be posted chronologically.)
- I have little right to participate in discussion, since I'm not American, but I tend to agree with Anobi. Regardless of whether you are right or not, it is a highly controversial topic. If you really want it included, the only way I see to prevent another edit war is to find some very good sources. Of the "video on Youtube where Tameem says that Raptor = Fox" calibre. If there is even slightest room for any debate, it will devolve into shouting again. My signature is NOT short! 01:43, August 31, 2012 (UTC)
- I'm sorry if it seemed that way, as it wasn't my intent, but this has absolutely nothing to do with politics. Just because I used the word "conservative" doesn't mean anything. It's stated outrightly that Ninja Theory is satirizing "the world's societal ills," and one of those is the misinformation spread by a news network. Another is them being "enslaved by the banking system." It's also been stated that Dante also represents the disenfranchised youth of this generation, who are stuck having to deal with these societal ills, and are even fighting back. DmC is very mildly politically charged, if only because it draws the basis of its narrative from a current social commentary. These even aren't my views, these are NT's that they used for the game. Raptor is clearly parodying Fox because (as I said before) they are notorious for misinformation, Virility is a parody of FDA regulations over what gets put in our food, and it's probably a safe bet that when we hear about that banking system, it'll be parodying credit card usage, mortgages, and debt. Hell, The Order in DmC itself is essentially Anonymous, fighting against unjust and corrupt hierarchies.
- It has literally nothing to do with politics, it's just the things the game is based on, and to not include the small bits of information about what they are parodying in the Wiki is like taking out all mention of the Divine Comedy. Or, more to the fact, all the political history between the White Guelphs against Pope Boniface should be removed as well, because of the politics there. What difference does it make that it's in the past or currently being experienced? A wiki is information, candid, open, and honest. Just because something references something vageuly sociopolitical shouldn't exclude it. It'd be like removing all religious references from the wiki to avoid starting some religious debate.
- Seriously, nothing to do with politics beyond referencing what Ninja Theory themselves said they were parodying for the game. For a frame of reference, this is where it becomes very apparent that they're talking about parodying Fox News.Derekoe|Hot-blooded God of Guns| (talk) 01:55, August 31, 2012 (UTC)
- Last I checked Derekoe, the Divine Comedy was not a touchy subject in this day and age. Nor are the White Guelphs or Pope Boniface; after all, they all came and went hundreds of years ago. The stuff you wrote, on the other hand, is quite controversial in today's society (whether or not they actually apply to the game or you're just looking too far into it), and I myself think this wiki is better off without it (for all the previously stated reasons). Hell, if anyone doesn't mind a little personal opinion (of the non-political variety) from someone who's actually going into the industry, I think the people at Ninja Theory (and Capcom) are idiots for choosing that kind of faux symbolism for DmC, as if the game hasn't proven controversial and polarizing enough already.
- Seriously, nothing to do with politics beyond referencing what Ninja Theory themselves said they were parodying for the game. For a frame of reference, this is where it becomes very apparent that they're talking about parodying Fox News.Derekoe|Hot-blooded God of Guns| (talk) 01:55, August 31, 2012 (UTC)
- To summarize, this isn't the place for that kind of subject matter; people come onto this wiki to get info on Dante and Vergil, not draw on hypothetical comparisons between some demon news anchor and Bill O'Reilly.Wing Zero Alpha (talk) 07:32, August 31, 2012 (UTC)
- And yet back in the day, the Guelphs were probably a pretty controversial subject as well. The point is that it shouldn't matter when it happened, it happened. The Divine Comedy was mentioned because it's a basis for the games, just as the "societal ills" basis is for DmC. It's part of the game's development, and as a wiki trying to give people all the information on anything and everything Devil May Cry, it should be included. You're refusing to put up something that was clearly stated by the developers themselves. There is no "hypothetical comparison," because they flat-out said it in all but name. What kind of respectable wiki would this be if we started cherry-picking what we allowed people to learn? Ironically, then we're no better than Raptor :p
- How is this even controversial? It's just the truth, and not one I'm "thinking too far into." Ninja Theory said as much. Raptor News Network is based off "of cable news outlets, and one American news outlet in particular." That's straight from Alex Jones of Ninja Theory's mouth . Take a look at any video about that conference and the gameplay therein, amidst all the regular whining, everyone is mentioning Fox news in some way. If someone comes in to debate it, we have proof from the developer of what they are parodying, which instantly tells one that it's not just someone's sociopolitical views that they're slathering all over the wiki, it's information straight from the developer's mouth. The truth hurts sometimes :/
- Again, this has nothing to do with politics, nor my own opinions, and never has. These are facts stated by the developers themselves about something that is so painfully obvious everyone already gets it anyway . My only opinion in this entire matter is that you're losing my respect for not including all the information, simply because you're worrited about some hypothetical controversy that may never come. We've dealt with worse here since the announcement of DmC anyway.Derekoe|Hot-blooded God of Guns| (talk) 16:32, August 31, 2012 (UTC)
- (sigh) I'm just going to say my piece and leave it at that. Getting tired of arguing over something this stupid; in fact, I still can't believe I'm having this kind of argument over a Devil May Cry game.
- Once more, you miss the point. The Guelphs were only a controversial group in the time of the Renaissance and don't carry the same controversy today; they're ancient history, no different from say the Boston Massacre. Ditto on the Divine Comedy; you can talk about it with any Catholic and they won't be offended, even though back in the day Aligheri wrote it it touched a lot of nerves.
- ::::::::::::Stuff like "social ills" as you call it, on the other hand, are controversial because they tend to offend people for all the wrong reasons. This is why games like Six Days in Fallujah were canned and Call of Juarez: The Cartel were slammed; they hit too close to home for too many people, and caused no end of contentions like the one we're having now. Once again, I can't help but wonder what the hell Ninja Theory was thinking in going this route; they already isolated their fanbase with their Dante redesign (I can only imagine how many people their Vergil redesign turned away). Turning their game into a social commentary piece (which is something Devil May Cry was never meant for) on modern "hot" issues (especially with faux symbolism) is only going to do more damage, which they can't afford right now.
- Having said all that, again the wiki is better off without it, because it will only invite more unnecessary debate and edit wars like the one we just had. This isn't the proper place for that kind of forum; I've seen many websites that have been derailed by such topics, no matter how they may have applied to the sites' central themes. Besides, if the symbolism is as obvious as you claim, then logically, people wouldn't need to go on a wiki to learn about it.
- As for your respect, after this entire episode, I don't give a certain piece of a rat's anatomy whether I have that or not. On that end, I find your rambling fairly ironic, because you sound a lot like your own description of Barbas through all of it. Especially the condescending attitude and "he think's he's always right" part.
- Ja ne.Wing Zero Alpha (talk) 17:03, August 31, 2012 (UTC)
- I'm not the one callig it "societal ills," that's straight from Ninja Theory, did you not even watch that video, or read any of those links? It's all right there. I'm relaying what Ninja Theory is saying. Flia even asked for proof if the information was to be put up, and I gave it - several times. It's there. This also isn't a forum for discussion, it's a wiki that compiles all DMC-related information, and we can't just cherry-pick what we want to put up because someone might get upset, or it's deemed "obvious." By your logic, if something is so obvious, then we should slim down the entire wiki, removing anything deemed obvious like character descriptions, story-related elements, and what items do - I mean, anyone playing the games obviously sees all of that, don't they?
- And yes, it is retarded that there is this giant debate on the DMC wiki, because there should not have been any debate at all. There was facts plainly given as reference to verify the information that was put up. The only reason there is a debate is because someone didn't want to accept what came straight from the developer's mouth, and is accepted as truth by so many. And there's a big difference between Barbas and I; what I'm saying is the truth, and backed up by fact. Sorry if you think I'm condescending, but I'm giving out the facts that Flia (our admin) asked for in order for it to be put up.Derekoe|Hot-blooded God of Guns| (talk) 18:01, August 31, 2012 (UTC)

Google On Using Images
Barry Schwartz on December 15, 2006 at 9:01 am
Vanessa Fox at the Google Webmaster Central Blog posted tips on using images on your site. In short, she explains that:
(1) Don't put the bulk of your visible text in images, use real text
(2) Use alt tags to describe the images
(3) Do not keyword stuff the alt tags
(4) Alt tags are more important when your navigation is all images
(5) A webmaster should be watchful of the "image-to-text ratio on your page"
(6) Vanessa then pitched Google Sitemaps, with "Taking advantage of Image search"

2:30 PMTrollfest reveals album's artwork
Self-styled "True Norwegian Balkan Metallers" TROLLFEST, who recently inked a deal with NoiseArt Records, as well as the booking agency Rock the Nation, have today previewed the artwork and track listing for the forthcoming album, "En Kvest For Den Hellige Gral", which is due for release in April.
Commenting on the concept of the album and the artwork, the band, known for its exuberant live performances and whose members are drawn from bands such as URGEHAL, PANTHEON I, UNTIME, MELCH, SARKOM, HALLUCINATIONS and POWERSWORD, had this to say:
"Just like our second album "Brakebein", "En Kvest For Den Hellige Gral" is also a concept album, which this time centres on the story of five Trolls who set out on a quest to find the Holy Grail that will reputedly deliver all the Trolls from a horrible famine. Exactly how it will do this is not by some heaven sent miracle, but by providing an endless food source in the shape of the hordes of Christians who will come searching for the Holy Grail themselves! As you can imagine, this rather "unholy" quest is a somewhat beer-fuelled, blood-soaked adventure in typical Troll tradition! And if you want to know what happens next to the brave questers, there is an epilogue in the form of bonus track on the digi pack edition.
"When it came to actually illustrating the story of our five brave and adventurous Trolls for "En Kvest For Den Hellige Gral", there was only one choice we could possibly make, and that was Jonas Darnell. Ever since he created the evil Iron Duck for our "Villanden" album, Jonas has been bringing the characters of the TrollfesT universe to life through his art. It then falls to Terje Johnsen to design and put together all of Jonas' wonderful creations into a spectacular package. Terje has been part of the TrollfesT crew since Brakebein, and his work has earned him the honorary title of 'Andy WarTroll'".
Track listing for "En Kvest For Den Hellige Gral", which roughly translated means "A Quest For the Holy Grail", and is a play on the word "quest" in both the accepted sense, and in the sense of the Norwegian word "kvesting" which refers to the crushing of the crusaders, is as follows:
01. Die Verdammte Hungersnot
02. Karve
03. Die Berüchtiges Bande
04. Gjetord
05. Der Sündenbock Gegalte
06. Korstog
07. Undermålere
08. Jevnes med Jorden
09. En gammel Trollsti
10. Epilog (BONUS TRACK Digi Pak)
The track "Die Verdammte Hungersnot" from the new album can be heard on the band's MySpace page.

The Handan Offspring Myopia Study (HOMS): an overview
In China, the prevalence of myopia in the Chinese adult (40 years or older) population in both the urban (Beijing) and rural area (Handan) is similar (approximately 20%) (1,2). However, the prevalence of myopia and the average refractive error in 15-year-old children in urban China (Guangzhou) is 78.4% and −1.50D, respectively (3), which is significantly greater than that found in children of the same age residing in rural China (Yangxi, a rural area located west of Guangzhou) (43.0% and −0.50D respectively) (4). These data provide strong evidence that the lifestyle and exposure to environmental factors is different in the younger generation in rural versus that of urban China (5,6). Hence, the Handan Offspring Myopia Study (HOMS) was conducted between March and June 2010 to determine the prevalence of myopia among the offspring of the Handan Eye Study (HES), with focus on the generational shift in refractive error within families (7).
The HES, in Handan, Hebei province, northern China, was a population-based eye study in adults ≥30 years (8). The prevalence of myopia was 18.8% (2). In order to determine the prevalence of myopia among the offspring of the HES, the HOMS was conducted between March and June 2010, with focus on the generational shift in refractive error within families.
Study population
The target population of HOMS was from the 6 villages in the Yongnian County of Handan, Hebei province, northern China. All children aged 6–18 years, with at least one parent who was included in the HES, were included. The HES was a population-based eye study in adults ≥40 years, with 18.8% of the prevalence of myopia.
Main ocular examinations
The main ocular examinations included intraocular pressure (Perkins), optic disc imaging [Heidelberg Retina Tomograph (HRT)], axial length (A-scan), cycloplegic (cyclopentolate 1%) autorefraction/subjective refraction, and fundus photography. A detailed questionnaire was also performed. The detailed examination flow of HOMS was presented below (Figure 1). Of 1,238 eligible individuals, 878 children (70.9%; 52.6% male) from 541 families were recruited. Mean age of the children was 10.5±2.5 years.
Major findings
diopter (D) of generational myopic shift
Refractive error difference (RED) was defined as the difference between the parental spherical equivalence (SE) and their children's SE. Generational myopic shift was defined as the estimated RED between the children's SE and the parental SE when a child would be 18 years old according to a prediction model. The RED (median, quartiles) increased from −1.33 (−1.99, −0.98) D in children aged 6 to 7 years to 0.81 (−0.16, 2.28) D in children aged 16 to 17 years. The children's SE was predicted to approach the parental SE at 14 years of age. Moreover, the children's estimated myopic shift would be 1.03 D at 18 years old. Multiple linear regression revealed that older children (beta =0.23 D/y, P<0.0001) and girls (beta =0.24, P=0.01) tended to have a higher RED (9).
There is approximately 1 D of generational myopic shift in rural area, which is approximately 1 D less than that in urban area found in Beijing Myopia Progression Study (BMPS) (6). These myopic trends suggested a predominantly increased exposure to environmental factors between the 2 generations in the last 3 to 4 decades after China ended the Cultural Revolution and a formal education system was put in place.
A weak protective effect of the outdoor activity on myopia
The overall time spent on near work and outdoor activity in the children was 4.8±1.6 and 2.9±1.4 h per day, respectively. Myopic children spent more time on near work (5.0±1.7 vs. 4.7±1.6 h, P=0.049), while no significant difference was found in outdoor activity hours (2.8±1.3 vs. 3.0±1.4 h, P=0.38), as compared to non-myopic children. In the multiple logistic analysis, no association between near work and myopia was found after adjusting for the children's age, gender, parental refractive error, parental educational level, and daily outdoor activity hours [odds ratio (OR) 1.10, 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.94–1.27]. However, a weak protective effect of the outdoor activity on myopia was found (OR 0.82, 95% CI, 0.70–0.96), after adjusting for similar confounders (10).
These results were inconsistent with Xichang Pediatric Refractive Error Study (X-PRES) in southern rural China (age range, 5–13 years) (11), or in BMPS (age range, 6–17 years) (12). The inconsistent findings may be attributed to the different living environments between rural and urban areas, or between northern and southern areas. Further studies are warranted.
A modest protective effect of the eye exercises of acupoints on myopia
Chinese traditional "eye exercises of acupoints" have been advocated as a compulsory measure to reduce visual symptoms, as well as to retard the development of refractive error, among Chinese students for decades. The exercises are comprised of a 5-min, bilateral eye acupoint self-massage. The participants in the HOMS were asked to complete the eye exercises and vision questionnaire, the convergence insufficiency symptom survey (CISS) questionnaire. In this study, we found only 14.5% of the rural students performed the eye exercises of acupoints in school. The multiple OR and 95% CI for those having a "serious attitude" towards performing the eye exercises (0.12, 0.03–0.49) demonstrated a protective effect for myopia, after adjusting for the children's age, gender, average parental refractive error, and the time spent on near work and outdoor activity. The more frequently, and the more seriously, the students performed the eye exercises each week, the less likely was their chance of being myopic (OR 0.17, 95% CI, 0.03–0.99), after adjusting for the same confounders (13).
These results were also inconsistent with our previous studies on urban students, where we did not find the associations between the eye exercises of acupoints and myopia (13). This could be due to a dose effect of the eye exercises of acupoints for myopia. In the current study, the rural students who performed the eye exercises in school had less myopic refractive error as compared to the urban students (−0.40 vs. −1.70 D).
The HOMS is the first offspring eye study in a Chinese population. The study design is based on another representative study, HES. In this study, we found 1 D of generational myopic shift, a weak protective effect of the outdoor activity on myopia, and a modest protective effect of the eye exercises of acupoints on myopia, among the rural children in the northern area.

You probably don't give too much thought to the inner workings of a refrigerator before it shuts down, or before it is time to buy a new one. To guarantee you get the most use possible from this kitchen appliance it can be very good to understand exactly how a refrigerator keeps food cool—and Apex Joliet Appliance Repair is here to help.
Read below to learn all you need to understand concerning how a refrigerator runs, how it cools your food and drinks and if it is the time to reach out to refrigerator repair Joliet.
Parts of a Refrigerator
You will not find many houses that do not have a refrigerator inside the kitchen. It's been a standard household appliance for many years. A refrigerator stores your food at the best temperature, to stop spoiling and slow down the growth of harmful bacteria. The concept of refrigeration starts by moving the warmth from the inside of the appliance to the exterior, using principles of evaporation and condensation.
The primary components of your refrigerator are below. For questions or service call Apex Joliet Appliance Repair:
A compressor is both a pump and motor, and it's necessary for the circulation of refrigerant in the system.
The compressor is an integral part of a refrigerator. Homeowners should enlist a professional company if the compressor is no longer working.
The refrigerator condenser is located on the back outside wall of the refrigerator and will help to emit the warmth absorbed within the refrigerator out into the surrounding air.
A refrigerator evaporator is attached in the inside of the refrigerator where absorbs heat trapped inside of it, thereby reducing the temperature inside the refrigerator.
The moment the evaporator is not working, it's time to call a professional. Don't wait too long.
Expansion Device
Liquid refrigerant is directed through a capillary tube which acts as an expansion device as it cools the gas, transforming it back into a liquid.
A thermostat will regulate the temperature inside a refrigerator, engaging the cooling period when required.
The thermostat inside of a refrigerator is very prone to issues. Troubleshoot and hire a technician in Joliet for service right when a problem occurs.
How Does Refrigeration Work?
1. The moment the temperature in the interior of the refrigerator goes higher than the set point sensors signal the compressor to begin, and the cool down starts. The refrigerator attracts the cool liquid refrigerant, condenses and pressurizes the refrigerant, and increases the temperature, so it can turn into a gas.
2. The compressor unit guides the hot gas in the direction of the condenser coils located on the outside of the unit, at which point it comes in contact with warmer air temperature in the room and returns back to a liquid form.
3. The cooled refrigerant continues on its trip to the evaporator component, making its way through the coils on the interior of the refrigerator and freezer compartment.
4. The coolant then absorbs the heated air from the interior of the refrigerator, thereby cooling the temperature until it has reached the best set point.
5. The refrigerant then evaporates, and will return back to a gas, and then returns to the refrigerator compressor unit in order to continue the cycle.
Refrigeration is often found in several applications and large appliances, including heat pumps, air conditioners, refrigerators and residential freezers. By contracting heat from one area and then distributing it to a different one the continuous cycle of refrigeration contributes in cooling a home, creates a perfect space for food that is perishable, and helps with manufacturing and storage of several different common products and goods.

DK's only Oscar and Emmy award winner – who is film maker SUSANNE BIER?
Since its release in December 2018, her first Netflix movie, the thriller "Bird Box", is also her largest measured by audience numbers. Who is the woman behind the success?
The article continues below.
By Adriana Alcina Pictures: NF Rolf Konow, NF Doane Gregory, Les Kaner, PR
Becoming an internationally acclaimed filmmaker is not without challenges, especially when you come from a small country like Denmark. Nevertheless, Susanne Bier has earned her spot amongst Europe's best known and most respected film directors thanks to a solid career made up of various critical and commercial successes.
Her success is due to her talent for combining commercial entertainment with powerful and emotionally compelling stories.
In 2011, she won a Golden Globe and the Oscar Academy Award for "Best Foreign Language Film" with "Hævnen" ("In A Better World"), a formidable film about revenge and forgiveness. Previously, her film "Efter Bryllupet" ("After The Wedding") had earned her an Oscar nomination.
And in 2016 she won an Emmy award for the British mini-series "The Night manager".
She is the only Danish filmmaker to have been awarded such distinctions.
The article continues below.
Navigating human emotions
A master in portraying human emotions in an intense and realistic way, the Danish filmmaker has a knack for heart-wrenching melodramas and universal themes such as broken personal relationships. As she explains:
"It is really about addressing the conflict between the characters and addressing the storytelling and psychology. That way, the feelings are the undercurrent of the whole story."
Thus, her movies generally place characters in very difficult positions and explore their behaviours and emotional turmoil in critical situations.
The same can be said about the characters in her new thriller "Bird Box".
Susanne Bier says to Danish newspaper Jyllands Posten that she has had the same freedom in her direction of the Netflix movie as she usually has with more traditional movie makers.
She explains how from the beginning, she wanted the monsters to be invisible in the movie, leaving their visualisation to the audiences' own imagination.
Despite attempts at changing this, Susanne Bier managed to get it her way, the monsters remained invisible.
The movie has received very diverging reviews amongst the Danish press, but Susanne Bier says that is not important to her. What counts, is how her audience reacts to it and whether they get an emotional experience or not.
However, despite the reviews, the movie has received a great of attention, perhaps even enhanced by the publication by Netflix of the normally "secret "streaming figures.
With 45 million member accounts having viewed the movie after the first seven days, the scary thriller "Bird Box" has surpassed all records Netflix has announced, claiming that it had the best opening week ever for a Netflix movie release to date.
"This is without comparison the largest movie I ever made, measured on audience number, and it is a great relief. There is always an element of stress in putting all your energy and hard work into something and then to having to wait and see if you got it right. I have never made a global phenomenon before, and that's really something mega, " Susanne Bier said in a recent interview with Jyllands Posten.
Bier's tendency to include dramatic elements in the storyline is often connected to her own family's roots. During the Second World War, her Jewish relatives escaped across the sea to Sweden fleeing Denmark after the Nazi invasion.
At the same time, her international background makes the film director feel very comfortable in multi-cultural environments. Bier has shot films in many foreign countries and she is used to working with an international cast.
The article continues below.
An extensive filmography
Bier's filming career took off in 1991 with "Freud Flytter Hjemmefra" ("Freud's Leaving Home"), and her subsequent movies (mostly dramas focusing on family relationships) achieved immediate success in Denmark.
Her first major breakthrough came eight years later with the romantic comedy "Den Eneste Ene" ("The One And Only"), and she was later praised for her Dogma 2002 film "Elsker Dig For Evigt" ("Open Hearts"). Bier saw it as a real challenge to make a movie following the Dogma austerity rules:
"They forced me to deal with the storyline and the characters, and I believe in artistic limitations. I've always thought that setting out a set of rules before you start and then being completely consistent with them is the only way to make a really good film."
But it wasn't until 2004 with her powerful drama "Brødre" ("Brothers") that Bier captivated the international press. The film explores the conflict between two brothers tragically affected by the war in Afghanistan, and it became so popular that Hollywood decided to adapt it for an American audience.
Following this success came "Efter Brylluppet" ("After The Wedding"), a family drama that explores healing and forgiveness by portraying an ethical and moral dilemma when the head of an orphanage is offered a donation by his ex-girlfriend's wealthy spouse.
The film was critically acclaimed and received several awards, including an Oscar nomination. The next step was Hollywood.
The article continues below.
Filming in Hollywood
Her first Hollywood film was "Things We Lost In The Fire" in 2007, a drama starring Halle Berry and Benicio Del Toro. The film received mostly negative reviews as the character development was deemed poor and the story was not moving.
Another of Biers Hollywood dramas, "Serena", featured one of Hollywood's most fashionable screen couples, Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence.
Even though the movie was released last year, she had actually cast them before they performed together in the Oscar-winning "Silver Linings Playbook".
In 2012, Bier also directed "Den Skaldede Frisør' ("Love Is All You Need"), a light comedy with a positive tone set in the picturesque Italian town of Sorrento.
"A Second Chance"
Another Bier film, "A Second Chance", premiered in January 2015 and it was her first collaboration with popular "Game of Thrones" actor, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. The movie is about paternal love and our desire to do things right on our own terms, even when the means are legally questionable.
The movie received mostly negative reviews, as many critics found it lacking subtlety and the storytelling weak and unconvincing.
"The Night Manager"
The six-part miniseries, The Night Manager, was her first ever mini-series. It is based on the best-selling spy novel by John le Carré, and is a sweeping, trans-global thriller about a hotel manager, actor Tom Hiddleston, who is recruited by MI6 to bring down an international arms dealer, played by Hugh Laurie.
The series earned Susanne Bier an Emmy in 2016.
In 2019 she is to instruct the HBO series " The undoing", starring Nicole Kidman as the main character.

Doing anything 100 times usually is a daunting task. Winning 100 baseball games in one season? It's not easy.
That's exactly what the Boston Red Sox accomplished Wednesday night, though, improving their record to an absurd 100-46 with a 1-0 win over the Toronto Blue Jays at Fenway Park.
The Sox seemingly have it in cruise control, as the playoffs approach and they get closer to clinching the American League East and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.
To celebrate the club's most recent achievement, MLB put together a video with at least one highlight of every Red Sox win this season. If you've got more than 21 minutes to kill — again, 100 is a big number — then check out the video from MLB's YouTube page below.

Many times in life, you may have to step in to save a worsening situation, or may have to step up for a post as you are best man available there, or under pressure, you have to step down from your position.
So, let's discuss some phrases on STEP which will be a stepping stone towards your goal of "English Speaking".
1(a). Step up:-
To make something go faster to make a quick progress.
Example: You should step up your speed of the making the project if you want to complete it before the deadline.
1(b). Step up:-
To increase the speed of any machine like fan or motor etc to make it run faster.
Example: I stepped the fan when more guests arrived as they were sitting in a scattered manner.
2 (a). Step on someone's toes:-
To hurt or offend someone by saying something which shouldn't have been said.
Example: I think you should know how to speak to a girl. By saying that she looks fat, you actually stepped on her toes.
2 (b). Step on someone's toes:-
It also has the literal meaning of putting your foot on someone else's foot, that may hurt the person.
Example: Please be careful while you pass by her. She is lying there, don't step on her toes.
3(a). Step out (of something):-
To go out of a place or a room.
Example: Don't dare to step out of this house unless I say so. Our enemies are everywhere and they may find you.
3(b). Step out (on someone):-
To be unfaithful to your partner or lover.
Example: I think you should now step out of this relationship. He is no more the person he used to be.
4). Step out of line:-
To misbehave or to deviate from the expected behavior.
Example: Don't step out of line if you want to survive in this company, especially when the boss is angry. Here stepping out of line means being out of job .
5). Step back from a place:-
To move away from someone or something in order to avoid any problem, or to give space to someone.
Example: Step back, there is bomb in the bike.
6). Step over someone or something:-
To walk carefully to avoid stepping on someone or something by mistake.
Example: Yesterday I stepped over a dog who was lying just at my door.

After much research, what can be done to prevent prostate cancer remains poorly understood because, although the scientific literature on the subject is large, the evidence remains weak and inconsistent. Part of the reason for this is that prostate cancer is very common, almost all men will develop some form of cancer in their prostate in their lifetime, yet only a minority will develop a cancer that will go on to kill. It is the latter that we wish to prevent but historically the majority of study participants have been diagnosed with small slow growing tumours that are unlikely to kill – tumours that men tend to die with, not from.
In our case-control study we focus on men whose prostate tumours are more likely to spread and kill and compare them with men of similar age who underwent medical investigation for prostate cancer but after biopsy were found to be free of cancer. It has taken us 5 years to recruit 1518 cases and 1255 controls. This is a smaller number and a longer time than we had expected but this reflects a downward social trend in research participation, with men participating less frequently than women. Nevertheless, we have a relatively large study for which the data have been cleaned and prepared for analysis. Nathan Papa is analysing the data collected on aspects of lifestyle for his PhD thesis and findings should be published over the next 18 months or so.
In parallel to this work, our plans for genomic analysis include a genome wide association study that will measure ~500,000 common genetic variants across the entire genome. These data will make a substantial contribution to the ongoing search for common genetic variants associated with aggressive forms of prostate cancer. They will also be used to develop risk prediction models that will combine conventional risk factor information such as advancing age, family history of prostate cancer or ethnicity, with genetic variant information to classify men according to their risk of developing aggressive prostate cancer. Accurate risk prediction models could be of enormous value in identifying the minority of men who stand to benefit from screening and early detection and the majority who do not require these interventions. Our senior research fellow Dr Robert MacInnis is leading this work.
Additionally, we have joined an international collaboration led by Dr Chris Haiman at the University of Southern California who will use our DNA samples for whole exome sequencing. This is an efficient way to identify, for every gene in the genome, rare variants that cause differences in protein coding that may lead to disease such as prostate cancer. This is a very large study to which we will contribute about 20% of the DNAs. While cheaper than whole genome sequencing, whole exome sequencing is still relatively expensive and the costs will be borne by funding provided by the US National Cancer Institute. We will contribute DNA samples for sequencing from all men who have participated in one of our prostate cancer studies (including Health 2020 and the Australian Prostate Cancer Family Study) who meet the inclusion criteria for a case or control specified by Dr Haiman's scientific protocol. The genotyping will be done in 2017 and scientific reports are likely to be published in 2018.

The birds and squirrels are scurrying about on this chilly November day. The wind is blowing the yellow and brown leaves around as smoke pours out of the stove pipe on the top of our home. The fog on the windows betray the sun shining through the trees as to just how cold it really is.
Sunday is a great day for homemade bread. We normally buy Honey Wheat Bread at the grocery store for making toast, grilled cheese sandwiches and the occasional french toast for breakfast.
This first attempt went pretty well. The only qualm I have is that it didn't rise as much as I'd like. The flavor is spot on, honey sweetens the bread just enough and the texture is amazing.
The recipe starts with warm water and active dry yeast.
Just about equal parts whole wheat flour and all purpose flour are incorporated.
The dough is shaggy at first. After kneading for awhile it comes together and is set aside to rise for an hour and a half.
Beautiful flecks of whole grain can be seen running through the risen dough.
The dough must be flattened and rolled, pinched and plopped into a greased loaf pan.
It's left to rise for another half hour.
A line is cut in the center and it's placed in a preheated oven.
It comes out beautifully golden brown.
Whole Wheat Bread with Honey
Makes 1 loaf
- 1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees F)
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup warm milk
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Pour water into the bowl of a stand mixer. Sprinkle yeast on top. Let stand for about 2 minutes until the yeast becomes frothy. Stir in milk, honey and oil. Add 1 cup of all purpose flour and the salt. With the hook attachment fitted to the stand mixer, stir in remaining flours and mix until just combined. Let sit for about 15 minutes. Using the stand mixer, knead dough for about 7 minutes or until the dough comes away from the sides easily. Add a tablespoon more flour if dough seems to sticky.
Place the kneaded dough into a greased bowl, cover with a towel or plastic wrap and place in a warm place for an hour and a half to let it rise.
Turn the risen dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead a couple times. Flatten the dough with your hands until it is the length of your loaf pan. Fold in thirds and pinch the ends and sides together. Place in a greased loaf pan and let rise for approximately a half hour. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
After the half hour is up, make a slit down the center of your loaf and place into the preheated oven for 30 minutes until golden brown. The bread will sound hollow when tapped. Remove from pan and let cool on a wire rack before slicing.

When is the best time to visit Mokala National Park?
Although wildlife viewing is good throughout the year, the dry winter months of May to September are the best. During this season - animals gather at the waterholes and rivers, making them easier to spot. However, the daytime temperature is comfortable. There may not be many predator mammals, but the park seems to attract more than its fair share of raptors. However, Look out for martial eagles, and a range of vultures - including lappet-faced, white backed and cape vultures. At night - with the Kalahari sky full of stars, keep an eye open for the Cape eagle owls in the camel thorns.

Homepage › Forums › OutboxSMS › Points of failure
I'm not sure if your device would be suitable. Essentially I am trying to remove points of failure between our monitoring system and our alerting system. With that in mind we are looking for a device that we can plug into both a network port on our LAN and also a usb/serial port on a windows server. The device would receive sms to transmit from both the network and the server (we are happy to install software onto the server).
The server will be Microsoft windows server 2008 r2 with Microsoft SCOM installed onto it. This will monitor and generate alerts for our corporate and network devices via usb/serial connection. We don't want this to send sms via email as this incorporates multiple points of failure if the network or email server goes down we don't get alerts.
Other devices on the network will though utilise smtp to sms for generating alerts – hence having the network connectivity too.
Does OutboxSMS meet these requirements?
OutboxSMS does not provide the facility to communicate via USB.
The box can support dual ethernet connections though, and the units can operate in a cluster. So you can configure the system to have up to 4 OutboxSMS load sharing and redundant cluster over a dual redundant LAN.

One of the first things to consider is the size of the desk and also the design that you will want. This all depends on what you will be using your desk for and how much room there will be for it when it is finished. When it comes to desktop space, it is always better to have more than is needed than not to have enough space.
Computer desks can be built with many different features, like drawers, CD racks, sliding keyboard trays, cabinets for the computer towers, and even monitor platforms. They can also have hutches on top too.
Since space is your major problem you have to consider the space you have before taking any other factor into consideration. In fact, since space is so precious all other factors like price and size will revolve around it.
Now that you have a better idea about your discount computer desks size and set-up, you should think about ergonomics. A lot of us spend an inordinate amount of time at our desks, both at work and at home. Your desk needs to be as ergonomic as possible so that those using the desk don't suffer from any strain or injury.
It may be best to pick an area where not many people will be congregating in if possible. If your need to have your desk in the kitchen area, choose a spot away from the common area so that you will not be disturbed when snacks or meals are being prepared. You may wish to pick an area in another room entirely. Your bedroom may be a good choice for a home office if there is the space available for this.
If you are not very good at doing this alone, you can do woodwork with your friends and family, it can be surprising how easy it is to do. You might even consider making your own matching chair for your new desk.
Finally, consider an ergonomic Office Chair for your workstation or Computer Desk. Ergonomic Office Chairs can reduce strain on your back, which goes a long way when you spend endless hours a day by your computer.
There is nothing quite like a black desk in your house, office or computer work area. In the past, black has been an extremely popular color for furniture and this trend continues today. Having black desks in your work area adds a sense of importance and a feel of excellence, no matter what kind of room they are in. One problem many people face is knowing which kind is best to buy. Saying you want a black one is one thing, but have you considered the kind of room, the shape, the size or what the desk will be used for? Since desks can be quite expensive, especially if you buy the more luxury brand name desks, it is important that you spend a little time doing your homework before you make a purchase. Here are some tips for the next time you go desk hunting.
All the components are provided along with the nuts and bolts for easy assembling. A manual is also provided which contains instructions to assemble the desk. By following the manual carefully, even the most complex-looking computer desk can be assembled within no time. The main components in a computer desk are: the front frame, back frame, bottom rails, upper frames, back aprons, pedestal base, pedestal base sides, tip edge strips, upper and lower dust panels, drawer front, center drawer front, back and sides, file drawer sides, and backs and joiners. There are many books and resources which provide free plans for building computer desks. There are also many websites with information about building computer desks.

Over peaceful slavery
OOC: Just a little note for myself, but using this as pNPC thread for drakehund as well as co-rank. Let me know if there is anything you want me to change. +300 words.
Zuri had been making plans for something like this in the background for a while now. Though the small room in her home had been set aside as a place that would be for her bats, it wasn't quite the comfortable for her little friends. One problem would be the growing size of her little clan. Alexandros and Darion had been there from the very beginning, but now there were two more to add as her companions. Given their size, the small room would still be enough to function as a well kept room for all of them...
But something much more natural would probably help them, and anymore bats she could befriend, to be more at ease with the luperci around them.
Some plans had been drawn up, but there was not much that could be done on her end, as she did not have the skills in order to build... well anything really. Her skills were better suited to get any materials that would be needed to make such a structure. There was one person in the Vale she knew she would be able to turn to though.
Her work on Rum Bridge had been a great testament to not only her leadership qualities in taking on much of the work for this task, but her skills in the field as well. Her friend would be helpful in putting this plan into motion. She had gone out a few times, scouting a place that would be perfect for them. There were a few open cave systems along their territory, and it was here that she felt the structure would be suited the best. They would be able to stay in the built home for them as well as moving to the caves, especially when it came time for them to hibernate.
The two hawkesonds had agreed to meet at the location she had picked out, and Zuri had taken the time to seek out Brom. The light male had experience in the building field as well, and it would make lighter the load to have three of them working on the project rather than two.
He traveled along with her, the pair soon coming to the mouth of the open cave she had picked out. All that was left now was to wait for Sedona to arrive.

CARE Now Demands
Posted by Caleb Smith under Self-CARE Now at 5:26 pm
A fellow student commenter requested that I upload CARE Now's 12-point request to President Mandel, emailed to the student body on April 17th. I won't add anything to the discussion at this time, but I encourage all to read:
Letter to Maud

Paging Christopher Guest. The subject for your next mockumentary is here.
A roomful of America's best satirists could not hope to improve upon the tone of dolorous, self importance here.
What absurd arrogance to think that a bunch of kids who have probably never even held a job are going to reorder society from on high by fiat. Good luck with that.
What happens when you admit legions of students who cannot hack the academic workload at Williams?
They get drawn into chasing windmills like this.
What the what says:
"We demand the establishment of enrollment options and teaching fellowships in
Native Studies, Trans Studies, Disability Studies, and Fat Studies."
You couldn't make this up if you tried.
Dal says:
Some good background on the religious movement filling CARE followers with spiritual fire from Williams Political Science prof Darel E. Paul:
Dal says:
So the deadline came and went and it's the sound of one hand clapping in the forest?
As bad as the partially literate "manifesto" looks, it looks even worse to proclaim a deadline and then do nothing when you are ignored. All that does is teach the administration to ignore you next time.
So either occupy a building or do something equally pointless. But at least do something.
Or stop issuing deadlines.
John Drew says:
It's not so easy to organize a building occupation when your parents, grandparents and siblings can click on YouTube and see you foolishly wasting your precious opportunities at Williams College by behaving like a vulgar, hateful, anti-white bigot.
Caleb Smith says:
CARE Now extended the deadline to May 1. They claim they expect a response from administration by the end of the week.

Big Kahuna Coffee is HERE!!!!
As summer comes to a close Marcus and I took some time to savor some of our favorite flavors. You might say we are having one last hurrah before we say goodbye to Summer and officially welcome Fall! So after dinner, I made us some affogato (see recipe) with a twist. I brewed up some Brooklyn Beans Big Kahuna pods to pour over our ice cream. This Macadamia Nut White Chocolate Flavored Coffee is the perfect marriage of sweet macadamia nuts, rich white chocolate, and extra fresh 100% Arabica coffee.
But you'll have to hurry because this Limited edition Summer seasonal coffee won't be around forever. This brew brings together great summer flavors in one delicious cup of coffee. It starts with the smooth flavorful coffee that everyone in our house has come to love. Then, they enhanced its deliciousness by adding creamy white chocolate and perfectly toasted Hawaiian macadamia nuts. What a delicious way to escape from the mainland and take a trip to one of the isles of Hawaii!
Macadamia nuts come from macadamia nut trees that typically grow in tropical climates with volcanic soil. Did you know that the macadamia nut is the most expensive nut in the world, with the hardest shell to crack? Macadamias are considered a gourmet delicacy. Pair the taste of that delicacy with the flavor of white chocolate, and you have heaven in a cup!
More about this Big Kahuna Coffee:
With this seasonal flavored coffee, there's no need to spend big bucks on a ticket to Hawaii, you can enjoy the taste of the tropics right from your kitchen. Put on a lei, find a beach chair, close your eyes and get swept away to coffee paradise with the blissful aroma of creamy white chocolate, perfectly toasted Hawaiian macadamia nuts and freshly ground coffee. Aloha.
You can find this Coffee on Amazon.

Recently, I had a family member, who had broken out in a rash with sores on her skin, come to me and ask for my advice. She had tried and tried to get relief from a variety of over the counter creams, but nothing seemed to work. I asked her if she had ever thought about using honey on her sores. She immediately scoffed and laughed at the suggestion. However, after I mentioned the actual healing properties of honey and how it had been used throughout the ages, her interest grew.
I discussed the fable about the ancient Craftsman who cut himself while working on a pyramid; who immediately applied honey on the wound to stop infection and to heal the gash. I also mentioned the story of Cleopatra, the Queen of the Nile, who bathed in honey (and milk) to keep her skin soft and youthful.
So with some coaxing, she decided to try a simple honey bath. After several days, she told me that her skin had never been so soft and the sores on her body appeared to be healing. Needless to say, she was so excited with the results that she continued with her self treatment. She reported back some four to five weeks later that her sores were healed and her skin had never felt softer.
I made this short journal entry for anyone who is willing to take the time to about read the benefits of honey. You see, gnosis (spiritual knowledge) is not always about God per say; rather, gnosis can also be about reconnecting to our history. It may appear at times that reading about such knowledge (honey) has little or no direct application today. This short entry about honey is an example that certain ancient mysteries still have uses and value today!
So Mote It Be!!!

Where there are re-releases, there's hope.
Oct 14 2015
Jennifer Crusie fans take note: there is now an standalone e-book version of her holiday-themed 2006 novella Hot Toy, which we originally reviewed here. Last summer my hopes were raised when Crusie announced that she was planning a re-write/expansion of Hot Toy, but (unsurprisingly) nothing actually came of it. According to Crusie's personal blog, "Not this time. Maybe in the future. [She] just couldn't do [the edits] in time." I'm not sure what prevented this project from coming to fruition, but at this point it's been five full years since Crusie's last novel, and I'm honestly not sure how she pays her bills.

Recent News:
Mortgage lending bounces up 24%
Gross mortgage lending bounced 24% in May, the Council of Mortgage Lenders has reported.
It stood at an estimated £12.2bn, up from £9.9bn in April and also up 13% from May last year (£10.8bn).
But the bounce could have been a seesaw rather than the first certain sign of sustainable growth, the CML warned.
CML chief economist Bob Pannell said: "The Government has recently announced a number of measures to counter the adverse effects from the Eurozone crisis. It clearly senses an opportunity to bolster home ownership and housing activity, and we look forward to hearing more details about the 'funding for lending' initiative which seeks to deliver this.
"Meanwhile, mortgage lending continues to seesaw, albeit against a broadly flat market. Unfortunately, a number of one-off factors, such as the Diamond Jubilee and the Olympics, are set to distort market indicators over the coming months, and it may be the autumn before we can more accurately gauge the state of the market."
Michael Coogan, ex-CML boss and now adviser at Deloitte, said: "The bounce-back in gross lending in May is a welcome sign that borrowers are still keen to transact. The new 'funding for lending' scheme should provide new opportunities for consumers to access the market in an affordable way. While short-term lending trends are difficult to call, the market improvement in 2012 is set to continue."
Richard Sexton, director of e.surv chartered surveyors, said: "The big monthly increase in lending disguises that the mortgage market is struggling to get into fifth gear.
"April was such a weak month that May was always going to see a big jump in lending. Banks still have their hands tied by increasing funding costs and capital buffer rules imposed by regulators. And they are terrified of the seismic impact a collapse in the eurozone could have on their balance sheets. They are really struggling.
"Banks have shipped their increased costs on to consumers like a hot potato. As ever, first-time buyers and lower income borrowers are bearing the brunt of the banks' problems. Lending to borrowers with small deposits has fallen for four out of the last five months.
"This lack of mortgages for first-time buyers has left great swathes of them stuck in rented accommodation, which is a black hole for personal finances. However, in the absence of a euro disaster, the recent news on Government support for banks and the decision to allow them to release some capital reserves could give lenders the confidence to relax terms over the second half of 2012.
