Just a stone's throw from Hobbiton, a group of researchers are embarking on their own quest – to look at international perceptions of, and hopes and expectations for, the Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.
Lead researcher Dr Carolyn Michelle of the Audience Research Unit at the University of Waikato in Hamilton, a short drive from Hobbiton, says she's hoping for an international response to the survey, which is similar to one done for the James Cameron movie Avatar in 2009.
"Whether or not you're a serious Tolkien fan, and even if you're a Hobbit hater, we want to know what you are thinking and feeling about The Hobbit prior to its release," she says. "You can participate in the one research study to rule them all at http://goo.gl/4vsvf."
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, directed by Peter Jackson, was filmed in New Zealand and is due to be released on December 12.
Dr Michelle and colleagues from the University of Waikato's Screen and Media Department, working with collaborators in Canada and Denmark, are hoping global interest in The Hobbit will help generate more than 1,000 responses to their survey from around the world.
"We want to see how prefigurative discussion, debate, marketing and promotion of a film
shape subsequent responses to it," says Dr Michelle.
"We're also interested in looking for response patterns linked to identity and location so the wider the reach of the survey, the better the data. Here in New Zealand the making of the Hobbit has already fuelled discussion on a range of issues; elsewhere in the world the response may be quite different."
Locally, The Hobbit has generated debate about the power of Hollywood to dictate terms and conditions in the local film industry – and wider.
An industrial dispute during filming nearly derailed the project until the New Zealand government agreed to introduce new employment legislation, a controversial decision which drew widespread criticism.
Tourism New Zealand has launched a multi-million dollar campaign based on the movie to attract more international tourists to the country.
The campaign includes footage of the original Hobbiton set in Matamata, in the central North Island, yet individual tourism operators in areas where The Hobbit was filmed are being told they can't reference the movie in any advertising because of copyright issues.
The researchers say the study is set to be the first large-scale international sentiment survey using Q methodology. Q methodology takes a quantitative and qualitative approach to create a conceptual map of people's subjective responses. Survey participants are asked to rank a set of statements, rather than simply agree or disagree.
The survey is the first part of a three phase project. "Next we'll be looking at people's responses to the film once it's released, and also undertaking a multi-lingual cross-cultural study analysing the differences in the responses based on socioeconomic variables, values and beliefs," says Dr Michelle.

Swift Transportation, with 17,819 vehicles and 21,613 drivers in its fleet, is among the top five largest motor carriers in the nation. Among the ranks of UPS, FedEx, Schneider, and J.B. Hunt, Swift tractor-trailers deliver cargo all over North America. With so many drivers logging so many miles, accidents are bound to happen. Since 2012, there have been 5,350 reported crashes involving a Swift vehicle. Of those crashes, 48 occurred in Maryland. During the months of March through May 2017, 11 injuries and one death were caused by a Swift tractor-trailer accident.
Why are these crash statistics so high? In part, accidents are an inevitability when a company owns such a high percentage of tractor-trailers on the road. But another reason for frequent crashes could result from Swift's hiring and training practices. Swift has a reputation as a "training company" for new drivers. Many other trucking companies will only hire experienced drivers, with a minimum of a few months of truck driving under their belts. Swift, on the other hand, will often hire new drivers directly from their driving school. The end result is injuries and death. Having to make endless payouts in truck accident cases does not help Swift's profitability either.
Sure, truck drivers have to start somewhere, and most reviews of Swift's training program are positive, but inexperienced drivers are logically more likely to cause accidents. We get that. But Swift also has a high rate of driver turnover; meaning that Swift not only hires brand new drivers, those new, inexperienced drivers make up a vast majority of their workforce. Since Swift offers its drivers infrequent and unreliable home time, after a few years with the company drivers tend to move on to other trucking opportunities with more favorable soft benefits. Some Swift drivers report spending only one day at home after months on the road, even after they were promised a one day minimum of home time per week.Why Swift Accident Cases Have a Higher Settlement Value
In truck accident cases, primarily concerning settlement value rather than liability disputes, the identity of the defendant should have no bearing on the outcome of the trial. In an ideal world, the jury would concentrate all of its energy on determining the correct amount of money damages that would make the victim whole again.
But the reality is that the defendant makes a difference. The jury is much more likely to feel sympathetic toward a gentle-looking grandmother or a volunteer worker than they would toward a big company like Swift. And a jury's sympathy, consciously or not, tends to have an impact on jury awards. So the trial value of a personal injury claim is much more likely to be higher with a defendant like Swift, and this higher trial value leads to a greater settlement value.
Additionally, because tractor-trailers are larger than passenger cars and can therefore cause more damage, Swift claims adjusters are used to dealing with big dollar amounts. This bias can also have a productive impact on settlement value. Is that fair? The deck is often stacked against accident victims. They deserve a break.What Else is Different About a Claim Against Swift?
Because of the specialized data and equipment involved in tractor-trailer accident cases, not every lawyer who regularly handles car accident cases is qualified to handle a case against Swift. There are many state and federal regulations that apply to trucking accidents, as well as accident-related data storage devices that are kept onboard tractor-trailers. Commercial vehicles, such as tractor-trailers, are equipped with modern electronic instruments that record information about the vehicle's speed, airbag deployment, braking, and a host of other data points at the time of a crash. This data can help your lawyer to prove whether Swift was at fault for the crash, if they know where to look and how to use it.Sample Settlements and Verdicts Against Swift
On our website, you can find a number of tools to help victims understand the possible range of the settlement value for their claim. Looking at variables such as statistics for the average trial or settlement value for the same type of accident, or better yet the same type of injury, may provide helpful examples. Listed below are samples of settlements and verdicts against Swift. Although claims that have a similar injury type are typically more indicative of your potential settlement value, cases involving the same defendant may give you a feel for how settlement value can vary depending on the jurisdiction, the severity of the injuries, and the economic loss caused by the injuries or death.
2015, Pennsylvania, $731,436 Verdict. A Swift tractor-trailer negligently and illegally traveled on a narrow, S-curved bridge prohibiting vehicles greater than 102 inches in length. The driver was unable to negotiate the S-curved bridge, and his trailer crossed over into the plaintiff's lane of traffic, striking the plaintiff's vehicle. As a result of the collision, the plaintiff suffered bilateral thoracic outlet syndrome with bilateral distal arm radiation, cervical sprain and strain, mechanical shoulder dysfunction and radicular symptoms in the upper right extremity. The jury found that the defendants were negligent, and awarded the plaintiff $375,000 in pain and suffering and $356,436 in past and future wages and medical expenses.
2013, California, $10,800,000 Settlement. The 61-year-old male plaintiff was a pedestrian, struck and run over by a Swift tractor-trailer as it made a right turn while the plaintiff was walking across the intersection. The plaintiff suffered a traumatic brain injury, class IV hemorrhagic shock and respiratory failure, bilateral subarachnoid hemorrhage, multiple skull fractures, multiple transverse process thoracic fractures, hemothorax and pneumothorax of the left lobe of the lung, occlusion of the right distal superficial saphenous artery, fractures of both legs, visual impairment, hearing loss, scaring, trauma-induced diabetes, MRSA, and other infections. The defendants agreed to pay $9,800,000 to settle the plaintiff's claim, with an additional $1,000,000 loss of consortium settlement for the plaintiff's spouse.
2011, Arizona, $1,100,000 Verdict. The plaintiff was sitting in the cab of his parked tractor-trailer at a Costco warehouse when a Swift tractor-trailer collided with his vehicle. The plaintiff sustained unspecified personal injuries as a result of the collision. After determining the defendants were 60 percent at fault and the plaintiff was 40 percent at fault, the jury awarded the plaintiff $1,100,000 in damages.
2008, Kansas, $23,500,000 Verdict. The driver of a Swift tractor-trailer attempted to make a U-turn into a rest area in the middle of the night, got stuck and backed into oncoming traffic, and struck the vehicle in which the plaintiffs were passengers. The plaintiffs sought damages for pain and suffering, disability and disfigurement, loss of enjoyment of life, medical expenses, and loss of earnings and earning capacity. They claimed the Swift driver was under the influence of methamphetamines at the time of the accident. The jury awarded $19,500,000 to the primary plaintiff, and $4,000,000 to his wife for loss of consortium damages.
2008, Missouri, $1,400,000 Settlement. A 65-year-old woman and her rescue dog were stopped due to traffic when the driver of a Swift tractor-trailer struck the rear of her car, drove on top of it, dragged it along the highway, crashed into three other vehicles, and then ran off the road. The woman and her dog, as well as the defendant's truck driver, died at the scene. The $1,400,000 settlement was awarded to the plaintiffs: the adult children and grandchildren of the deceased woman.
2008, Texas, $15,000,000 Settlement. The driver of a Swift tractor-trailer lost control of his rig and veered across the center median, striking the plaintiff's vehicle and killing his 9-year-old daughter and 49-year-old mother-in-law. The plaintiff's 28-year-old wife suffered serious injuries, including broken bones and a head injury. It was 4:00 am at the time of the crash, the Swift tractor-trailer driver had falsified his driver's log, and the tractor-trailer had a worn front tire and an alignment problem that caused the steering wheel to vibrate.
2007, Arizona, $32,650,238.47. A Swift tractor-trailer failed to stop at a stop sign, and subsequently collided with a suburban. The suburban driver died on impact, and his passengers, his son and nephew, sustained severe and permanent mental, emotional, and bodily injuries. The jury awarded $67,395.50 for the nephew's medical expenses and $3,500,000 for his noneconomic loss; $182,852.97 for the son's medical expenses and $1,944,000 for his noneconomic loss; $10,027,999 economic loss for the decedent's wife and $4,000 funeral and burial expenses; $1,000,000 in wrongful death claims for each of the decedent's other six children and surviving parents; and $13,875,000 for punitive/exemplary damages. The jury also returned a plaintiff verdict for the plaintiffs' noneconomic loss, but no dollar award was given.

Tina Satter Unlocks the Drama of an FBI Transcript
Director Tina Satter on how she and Half Straddle brought a verbatim FBI transcript to life in "Is This A Room."
Sign up to get spam-free email updates on special feature articles, live events and performances from The Civilians.
This episode of Let Me Ascertain you is the second of three culled from "The Way They Live," the final performance of the Civilians' season-long residency at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. "The Way They Live" was written by Micharne Cloughley, based on interviews Civilians associates and members of the company's Field Research Team conducted with curators, artists and visitors in the Met's American Wing between 2014 and 2015.
This episode includes monologues and a song crafted from interviews about three artworks in the wing.
First up, Jennifer Morris and Irene Lucio portray two women on the curatorial staff of the American wing, talking about Mary Cassatt's "Portrait of the Artist."
Next, Morris — still portraying a Met Museum curator — introduces Winslow Homer's painting "Dressing for Carnival." April Matthis then plays a visitor to the museum who responds to the piece. She sings a song called "Never" by Kirsten Childs.
Finally, actor Cindy Cheung plays a museum technician talking about moving pieces of art around the gallery. She discusses Homer's painting "Veteran in a New Field."
"The Way They Lived" was performed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 15 and 16, 2015. Mia Rovegno directed a cast that included Damian Baldet, Jordan Barbour, Kyle Beltran, Cindy Cheung, Irene Lucio, April Matthis, Grace McLean, Jennifer Morris, Tanis Parenteau, Monica Salazar and Rona Siddiqui. The piece featured songs by Maggie-Kate Coleman and Erato A. Kremmyda, Grace McLean, Lady Rizo and Yair Evnine, Kirsten Childs, Michael Friedman, Rona Siddiqui and Ty Defoe.

Death Café – Elizabeth Fifer
I am at a clothing store, checking the 00 and 00- jeans. They call it the death zone—at eighty pounds, down to the bone, they'll fix a peg in my stomach. I am suspicious of every bite. Their hairdos are bouffant and stay in place. Mine is a shiny brown polyester job that sits on a white foam head in the closet.
Imagining treatment I throw up in the parking lot. A genial man shares photographs. "At least a year." From the front of the room a knitting club hands out multicolored hats with pompons. I collect more than ten but never wear any, favoring a flowered scarf with gold earrings. All I need is a parrot.
When people ask how I am, I say "bad."
Make a mental note yes, no, maybe. I gain, then lose a pound. I appreciate the plump, estimate their weight. Nothing with cheese, nothing with wheat. I graze on rice protein shakes with advertisements of smiling Olympians on the label.
They say "robust remission" but you never know. Other people are back for a second or even a third time. By now they are in wheelchairs.
I know my medical cocktail's abbreviation—A B, V, D. For one infusion the nurse comes in a Hazmat outfit complete with visor, gloves, and footies. A drop makes your skin sizzle. I answer two questions ten times a day—Name? Birthdate?
When the nausea comes back all the nurses are cheerful but firm. "You have finished treatment and should be well." My sickness is either a moral or a psychiatric problem. "Most people feel better by now. Of course if there is underlying depression…." The doctor on-call laughs. He does not have nausea.
Does talking about death attract it? I attend a meeting to discuss the idea of death, not actual death. Treat death as a friend, an old-fashioned admirer who leaves a calling card. Say "No, she isn't in." "I won't wait," death says. "I have so much to tell but you probably are busy, especially now. Well, there's still plenty to do. Shoo"—and with this, first a sucking noise—then a pop!—and from the distance—"I wash my hands of you." But I sense it there anyway, first in one corner, then in another.

China/Asia Economic Crash Is StartingEconomics / China Economy Mar 28, 2018 - 06:25 AM GMT
In our previous article regarding the potential China/Asia Economic Implosion, we illustrated how the property market cycles in China (Beijing) are in the early stages of a potentially topping and a massive drop in value.
Today, we are going to try to expand on this analysis a bit further by illustrating how the US and other global established economies may have inadvertently setup certain emerging markets for another global crisis event. Our research team at Technical Traders Ltd. has developed a unique set of skills in sourcing and evaluating current market events and predictive price modeling systems that allow us to attempt to determine future events with relative certainty. Within this post, we will attempt to provide further evidence and supporting data as it relates to our belief that we are in a very late stage economic expansion cycle and about to enter a very early stage economic contraction cycle. As we continue to disclose our research and findings within this multi-part article, we will close this research out by explaining how and why we believe smart investors will be able to create massive opportunities over the next 12 to 48 months from our research.
Please review our previous research post (Part I) of this detailed research report before you continue reading if you have not already read it. It is important that you continue reading this post with the context of the previous research post. Thank you.
You should recall from our first post that we illustrated the expanding real estate cycle events in Beijing and how they related to a downside price cycle that appears to be in the very early stages of rotation. Today, we want to illustrate how the US market has been driving much of this expansion and speculation in China. Below, we have highlighted the same Beijing pricing cycles over a US Real Estate Equity chart. The point of this analysis is to clearly show that real price/equity expansion in the US market did not begin to occur until late 2012 and into early 2013. This was the time that real estate values in the US began an upward trajectory and real equity was being earned again. Prior to this, from roughly 2006 to the end of 2011, real estate price equity was declining or basing – with no real attrition or increase.
Now, if you open up Part I of this article in a separate window, you'll see that the real price expansion in the Beijing real estate market also began in mid to late 2012 and peaked in 2014. Our analysis and belief is that many Chinese investors were jumping into the US and global real estate markets at this time and that the increase in prices in Beijing assist them in diversifying assets across the globe by buying foreign assets. We believe this assumption is supported by the price decline in Beijing between mid-2014 through early 2016. We believe the previous price advance allowed Chinese investors to leverage their gains into outside/foreign assets while chasing the easy credit allowed by many foreign central banks.
It was also evident that many Chinese were moving capital outside China in an attempt to source new revenue growth. We believe this transition to outside assets was in full swing by 2013 to 2016 – when China finally started clamping down on capital flowing outside it boarders.
For your reference, here are a few resources to support our findings:
NYTimes : February 13, 2016: Chinese Start to Lose Confidence in Their Currency
The Strait Times: February 15, 2016: China's rich move money our of country, joining capital exodus
The Wall Street Journal: December 2, 2016: China Clamps Down on Exodus of Cash
It is obvious from the data that Chinese investors and wealthy individuals were hungry for returns in an environment where their stock markets had recently declined more than 30% while their real estate markets were experiencing a multi-year price decline of well over 10%. What were these people to do but find outside sources for returns and move their money into foreign investments that could allow for continued revenue growth. And what better place to move their money than the US and Canada – which were experiencing massive real estate price advances.
Take a look at this chart of the Canadian real estate price advances over the past 15 years. Incredible.
But, think about this for a minute, now that many of the Chinese were investing in Chinese and foreign assets and property while at the same time investing in China 's shadow government, corporate and derivative investment schemes, what are they to do with all this capital tied up in markets that are nearing or entering a contraction phase? What is their exit plan and how can they move to the sidelines fast enough to avoid the risks associated with collapse?
We'll cover that in Part III of our research.

"Study, Church interior, Kiçiağaç Köyü, Turkey 2015"
This small church can be found at 38.062284, 34.839082.
İ had heard about this church for a while before i managed to make my first visit. Greeted by the usual aleyküm selam, the locals were helpful in directing me to this hard-to-find building. At first, its small exterior beguiles, but as one enters, the full extend of its size bears down on the viewer. At the entrance, there seems to be an out of place stone with a byzantine cross from an earlier period. İt is likely that it comes from a previous church. The same for some of the foreign stones that make up the fence outside. The photograph i've chosen hopefully shares some of the strident quality of this column as i experienced it in its cavernous surroundings.
A handprinted silver gelatin 6×6″ photograph is available at my store here.

Game Screenshots
Game Overview
Happy Wheels is a platform genre game created by Fancy Force in 2010. Happy Wheels is based on rag-doll physics and has became immensely popular because of its graphic violence and user-generated content.
The tagline of Happy Wheels is "Choose your inadequately prepared racer, and ignore severe consequences in your desperate search of the history!" the game depends on the character that you have chosen and the level you are in. The aim of the game differs in each level. However, in most cases, the goal is to overcome the obstacles and reach the ending line. The game is of a graphical nature, and involves many graphic violence.
The most interesting feature of Happy Wheels is that it allows the player to design their custom levels with the help of various tools and objects. They can later upload these levels in the public server for other players to use.
The levels of the games are difficult. Also, chances are high your character will die again and again.
To enjoy Happy Wheels, you really have to enjoy the challenges ; -)

Fatima, Lourdes, El Pilar, Guadalupe, Montserrat, Covadonga.
The Virgin of the Pilar—Saragossa (La Virgen del Pilar—Zaragoza)
From the first Appearance of the Virgin Mary before the Apostle St. James during his return trip from the Iberian Peninsula to Palestine, the Marian tradition has been an integral part of Spanish spirituality and daily life. Above all, we wish to highlight the historical importance of the Virgin of the Pilar in Saragossa: The extraordinary appearance of the Virgin before St. James during her mortal life—she did not travel outside her native Palestine; and her presenting the column (pilar) that she brought with her to build the the First Marian Temple of Christianity, and the association of the Virgin of the Pilar with St. James have been fundamental in Spain's Christian heritage.
Other Marian Sactuaries of great historical and spiritual importance that go back to the Middle Ages are Covadonga (Asturias), Guadalupe (Caceres) y Montserrat (Barcelona).
The Virgin of Lourdes-France (La Virgen de Lourdes-Francia)
The successive appearances of the Virgin on the northern side of the Pyrenees Mountains near Lourdes during the middle of the 19th century—where She appeared before Bernardette and numerous witnesses, with messages of peace, prayer and instructions to build a shine in Her honour—have made Lourdes one of the principal centers of Marian worship, daily drawing thousands of pilgrims from around the world. Following the Via Crucis, visiting the Basilica and the Grotto of the Virgin, but above all assisting in the nightly candle procession with its Rosary prayer, are unique and unforgettable experiences.
The Virgin of Fatima (La Virgen de Fátima-Portugal)
In the year 1917, while half of Europe suffered through a devastating war and the other half suffered its repercussions, the Virgin Mary reappeared in Fatima before Lucia and her cousins Jacinta and Francisco on various occasions and then before numerous witnesses, with similar messages. Since then, Fatima has grown to become the principal Marian sanctuary of Portugal, with thousands of pilgrams visiting it every year.
(*)We offer different routes that permit the combining of visits to the principal Marian sanctuaries with stop-overs at other places of great religious, historical and cultural interest such as St. James of Compostela (Santiago de Compostela) and its Way (Camino); or Salmanca, Avila and Segovia, following in the footsteps of St. Teresa and St. John of the Cross; or the Basque Country and Navarre,where the presence of St. Ignacius Loyola and St. Francis Javier is manifest; and some of the principal sites associated with St. Domingo and the Dominicans, among others.
Please don't hesítate to contact us concerning whatever particular interest you might have, indicating the time you have available for your pilgrimage, and we will be delighted to send you our proposal.

Yes, it's more "Before They Were Stars…" "TV Guide's" fall preview issues from bygone days never fail to amuse or to prove the old adage that "You gotta start somewhere…."
Before she was an Oscar-winner for "A Beautiful Mind," Jennifer Connelly was a member of the cast of "The Street" (sometimes written as "The $treet"). The series followed the lives of young up and comers in the world of finance and investing. The show was part of 2000-2001 season.
Before he was everyone's favorite "hip dad" on "Modern Family," Ty Burrell was featured alongside Henry Winkler and Stockard Channing in the hour-long medical series "Out of Practice." It was part of the 2005-2006 season.
A couple of future stars can be seen in this three-shot from the comedy "Townies" from 1996. Molly Ringwald was the star in the middle but that's Jenna Elfman (pre-"Dharma & Greg") on the left and Lauren Graham (pre-"Gilmore Girls" and "Parenthood") on the right.
"Can't Hurry Love," a sitcom starring Nancy McKeon, was on in the 1995 season. It featured a pre-"Law & Order" Mariska Hargitay who is pictured on the far left.
And before he was on "SVU" (and when he had a little more hair) Christopher Meloni was on the short-lived NBC sitcom "The Fanelli Boys." He co-starred with future "Sopranos" star Joe Pantoliano and with Ann Morgan Guilbert, who had made her name on "The Dick Van Dyke Show" and was later Grandma Yetta on "The Nanny." The "Fanellis" aired in 1990.
And before her "Law & Order" tenure, Angie Harmon starred in "C-16," an FBI drama from 1997. The series co-starred Eric Roberts and D.B. Sweeney.
Before she went to work for "Monk" on the USA network, Taylor Howard was on the short-lived sitcom "Bram and Alice." Part of the 2002 season, the series co-starred Alfred Molina.
Before "Role Models," "Dinner for Schmucks" and all of it, Paul Rudd tried his hand at the TV sitcom with his role in "Wild Oats" from 1994. Billed at that time as Paul Stephen Rudd, Rudd was one of a group of single 20-somethings living the life in Chicago. The show lasted four weeks.
Now he's on "Nashville" and, before that, he was one of the resident cut-ups on the US version of "Whose Line is It Anyway?" But even before that, Chip Esten was on "The Crew," a short-lived FOX sitcom about a group of flight attendants. The show aired in 1995. Its scheduling opposite "Friends" on NBC however doomed it quickly to the ground.
Speaking of "Nashville," here's Eric Close as he appeared in the 1994 drama "McKenna." Close would rebound quickly from this 1994 flop by getting starring roles on "Now and
Now the star of USA's "Covert Affairs" and, before that, a boyfriend of Betty's on "Ugly Betty," Christopher Gorham began his TV career on the sci-fi series "Jake 2.0." Unfortunately, despite "TV Guide's" stamp of approval as seen here, the show did not last beyond the 2003 season.
Finally, there was life before "Pysch" for James Roday. He was featured on the show "The Badland" from 1999. (Roday is pictured second from right.) The program was about cops working the worst neighborhoods in downtown Philly. Sean Maher and Roselyn Sanchez co-starred in the short-lived series.

baaaaaaaaaaaaaack! After several months of Chemo, blood transfusions,
and shots, I think I have whipped this Cancer thing. '05 was not a good
year to say the least, but according to my Oncologist, I have a clean
slate. I still have to be watched. CT scans, etc.
I'd like to let everyone know that I'll be starting my MinonkTalk page again very soon.
not crying in my beer, I just want to let everyone know that Cancer can
be beaten. It's not always a death warrant. So for those who are going
through it, keep the faith. When I was told that I had it, I was
devastated, and thought my life was over, but with today's new drugs
and procedures, it can be conquered. So the fat lady hasn't sung yet!
I'll be back soon, working on pages that make no sense at all. But, if they let a smile come out, or a laugh, it'll we worth it.

While I agree with you that we live in a great country, I have a few thoughts on your recent editorial
with which I do not implicitly agree. First, let me start by saying
that I do agree that it should be the parents' job to regulate what
their children view on the internet. That being said let's take a look
back through history and the historical development of the laws that
are put in place to regulate people. Laws very often appear for one
very simple reason. Laws are established to regulate people when they
lack the ability to self-regulate in a civil manner. Parents are not
monitoring what their children are viewing on the web. This is a
blanket statement of course and there are parents that monitor their
children's internet access. If this society has gotten to a point that
the parents are not monitoring children's access to pornography for
instance, then it is up to a regulatory agency to step in. We are not
talking about relinquishing our civil rights or freedoms here. This
discussion is about how we as a society have chosen to behave in such a
way that requires regulation. If you see it differently I will need
more evidence that what you have presented in your editorial because
I'm not convinced this is a governmental ploy to take away my personal
freedoms and right.
Jeffrey Carver
reply: While inspecting internet files to gather information on
pornography is not in of itself an objectional motive, what is
objectionable is that it sets a dangerous precedent which could lead to
who knows what in the future? Given this power a government employee
could use snooping for the purposes of blackmailing an adversary
similar to what the late J. Edgar Hoover try to do to Martin Luther
King. That possibility could certainly subdue the use of the internet.

Greek 'BBC' faces closure in austerity measures
Television screens across Greece turned blank on the stroke of midnight after the Government closed down the national state-owned broadcaster, the equivalent of the BBC.
The Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation's three terrestrial TV stations, one satellite station and its radio network stopped transmitting a few hours after the authorities announced that they were pulling the plug.
The move provoked uproar, with two smaller coalition partners distancing themselves from the decision. TV personalities joined protests in front of the corporation's colossal headquarters in Athens. "I was hoping up until the last minute that the reports were not true. It's unbelievable," Stavroula Christofiliea, a newsreader, said on-air moments after staff learnt of the closure.
But Simos Kedikoglou, a government spokesman, criticised the state broadcaster, known as ERT, as

This is the last in my six types of stories your organization has to tell series on how to find, shape and share your strength story. Strength stories showcase how your organization's particular focus or approach adds value to the community you serve and/or and moves your issue or cause forward in a way unmatched by other orgs (a.k.a. differentiation).
Guru-of-most-things Seth Godin recently summed up the value of differentiation: If there's not at least one thing that's distinctive about your organization—OR if you have that unique strength but don't highlight it—you're toast. Prospects will think you're just like every other nonprofit, and that's death to us marketers and fundraisers.

|Goodnight Ice Bear
Goodnight Ice Bear is a short by Madeline Sharafian. It was released on Cartoon Network's site.[1]
Ice Bear tries to fall asleep but the door to his fridge won't close. He tries to come up with a fix for it in any manner possible, no matter how elaborate.
An exhausted Ice Bear walks towards his fridge. He opens the fridge, turns off the lamp next to it, and climbs into the fridge. He closes the door, but it slowly swings back open. He closes it again, but it only swings back open again. He then proceeds to attempt slamming the door shut multiple times, but that proves ineffective at it only opens once more. He climbs out, turns the lamp back on, and closes the door from the outside, watching it proceed to open again. Getting an idea, Ice Bear leaves for a moment, returning with duct tape. He places a strip on the outside before turning off the lamp and climbing back into the fridge, plastering more strips of duct tape to the outside right before closing the door. The duct tape shortly after peels off, and Ice Bear himself opens the door and climbs back out.
Ice Bear storms out of the room, and the sound of a chainsaw roaring can be heard in the distance as three trees fall outside the window. He is seen walking back through the room shortly after, now covered in dirt while tracking mud through the house with a squirrel atop his head. He then passes back through the room, holding a welding torch and tank and wearing a welding mask, the squirrel also wearing a welding mask. The sound of flames and various construction noises can then be heard soon after. Ice Bear then walks back into the kitchen, wheeling in a machine atop 2x4. He tosses it up, and it lands around the fridge. He climbs back in, pulling a cord extending from the machine, and waits as it begins to close. It then stutters and stops, to which Ice Bear begins to pull on the cord a bit more furiously. The machine then begins to rile up, causing the fridge to shake and fall forward. After a short pause, the fridge lifts up just a bit so Ice Bear can reach off to turn the lamp off, before closing the fridge one last time.
- This is the second short to feature only one of the three bears, the first being "Panda's Dream".
- This is the first short where not a single word is spoken.
- This is the first short both Grizzly and Panda are absent.
- This is also the first short Ice Bear is the only bear, at first he was the only bear in 2 episodes Yuri and the Bear as a kid and The Demon with Chloe.
- This is the second short to have only one scene. The other being Bear Cleaning.
Cultural References
- After Ice Bear's attempt at taping the fridge shut failed, he stormed out of the fridge with another idea. As he's walking away, his mouth disappears for a frame.

School For Student Leadership
School for Student Leadership
is a Victorian Department of Education and Training (DET) initiative offering a unique residential education experience for year nine students. The curriculum focuses on personal development and team learning projects sourced from students' home regions. There are three campuses in iconic locations across Victoria. The
Alpine School Campus
is located at Dinner Plain in the Victorian Alps.
Snowy River Campus
is near the mouth of the Snowy River at Marlo in east Gippsland. The third site is adjacent to Mount Noorat near Camperdown in Victoria's Western District, and is called
. After consultation with the local aboriginal community, this name represents both the indigenous name of the local area and an interpretation of the statement "belonging to this place".
Our school community acknowledges the Gunaikurnai, Bidawel and Gundijmara people as the traditional custodians of the land upon which our school campuses are built. We pay our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, their Elders past and present, and especially whose children attend our school.

"Even though I owned my own home and had worked hard all my life, I found going out and doing anything at home was prohibitively expensive," says Cheryl Fankhauser. "A casual meal with friends, including a bottle of wine, would cost on average $80 per person. If you had starters and desert and an additional bottle of wine, you wouldn't see any change from $120."
In January 2016, Cheryl took a trip to Penang, Malaysia. Within two days of arriving, she knew instinctively that it was the place for her. By December she was living in the capital city of George Town.
As a single woman, Cheryl was looking for a safe and welcoming place to settle in, with a thriving social scene. Penang ticked those boxes from the off. The local people were friendly and Cheryl also loved the fact that everything in George Town was walkable and coming back late at night to her hotel was never an issue. "Walking late at night, even in the small town I come from, you are wary," says Cheryl. "But here walking around at midnight is never an issue."
Cheryl has immersed herself in the expat community. "I joined the International Women's Association, InterNations, Expat Mingles, and the Penang Decorative & Fine Arts Society," says Cheryl. "With so much going on I haven't had a day, or a night for that matter, alone since arriving. It's fabulous."
When Cheryl does get a moment to herself one of her favorite things to do is to get up early and walk the streets of George Town. "It's cooler in the morning and as it's a working city you get a chance to see it before it comes to life," says Cheryl. "George Town in the morning, as the sun starts to rise, has a different feel to it."
For Cheryl the best part of her morning walk is seeing the rickshaw men. "They always shout hello and it's fascinating seeing them gathering together before their day starts to discuss what routes they will take," says Cheryl. "When you take a rickshaw you become part of the hustle and bustle and energy of the town. And then you say to yourself, hang on; this was the way they travelled here 200 years ago. It's just one of things that makes living in this city so special. I can immerse myself in all of that history at the drop of a hat. That's pretty amazing."
The cost of living here was also seriously attractive to Cheryl. She pays $545 per month for her two-bedroom, 970-square-foot apartment. It has a pool and a small gym, covered parking, and 24-hour security. Her building is also one of the first in town to actively use fingerprint technology—the front door and lifts are all activated by using your index finger.
All the shops that she needs are within a five-minute stroll, as are various local cafes where plates of fresh steaming dim sum are less than $1 each. A meal that would have set her back at least $80 back home can be enjoyed here with BYO wine (no corkage), for about $15.
Cheryl's parting advice for someone contemplating a similar move is simple, "Come and live here for six weeks, and if you like it, go for it," says Cheryl. "I did and I couldn't be happier."

A search query is broken up into terms and operators. There are two types of terms: Single Terms and Phrases. A Single Term is a single word such as "IAATO" or "penguin". A Phrase is a group of words surrounded by double quotes such as "visitor guidelines".
Multiple terms can be combined together with Boolean operators to form a more complex query (see below).
Wildcard Searches
IAATO Search supports single and multiple character wildcard searches within single terms (not within phrase queries). To perform a single character wildcard search use the "?" symbol. To perform a multiple character wildcard search use the "*" symbol.
The single character wildcard search looks for terms that match that with the single character replaced. For example, to search for "northeast" or "northwest" you can use the search:
Multiple character wildcard searches looks for 0 or more characters. You can also use the wildcard searches in the middle of a term:
Boolean Operators
Boolean operators allow terms to be combined through logic operators. IAATO Search supports AND, "+", OR, NOT and "-" as Boolean operators (Note: Boolean operators must be ALL CAPS). The OR operator is the default conjunction operator.
To search for documents that contain either "northeast antarctic" or just "island" use the query:
"northeast antarctic" island
To search for either "northeast" or "northwest" and "antarctic" use the query:
(northeast OR northwest) AND antarctic

One interview technique that I especially like to recommend to job seekers is the art of making a connection with the interviewer. Chances are, in this job market there is some pretty stiff competition for the position to which you're applying. The person conducting your interview likely has or will interview quite a few candidates, and as you can imagine, all those people will start to blend together after a while. By making a personal connection, you will stand out in the crowd and give the interviewer a reason to remember you.
Another advantage of this interview technique is that it can help the
interviewer understand more about you personally, and how you interact
with people. If your job is people-facing, this can be an important
determining factor. Also, aside from your qualification and experience,
another important consideration for your interviewer is how you will
likely fit in with other people in the office.
Even if you are not particularly good at making small talk, this is
still a skill that you can learn. Here are some tips for using this
effective interview technique to weave in conversation that will help
you connect on a personal level with your potential employer.
- Look for Clues
Look around the
interviewer's office for any personal effects that might open the door
to a connection. For example, if you see a photograph of a very large
family gathering, you comment on it and mention that you, too come from
a large family (if you do). Find something in the room that you can
personally connect with, and then make a casual and sincere comment
about it.
- Listen for Cues
The skill of listening is
just as important an interview technique as presenting yourself well.
If your interviewer seems uncomfortable talking about personal
information, follow his or her lead. You do not want your attempt to
feel forced or fake. However, if a conversation does develop, do not
take the reigns: let the interviewer remain in control of the
- Cost your Line
Once you have developed a
personal connection with your interviewer, use it as "bait" you cast
out with your line. For example, if you've discovered that you both
have read a certain book, offer to send an interesting review you found
recently. And here's an extra-special tip: you can use this interview
technique if you haven't actually read a review! Thanks to the
internet, you can always do some quick research and find one later.
Think creatively, and find some chance to follow up after the interview
is over
- Follow up
continue the fishing analogy, don't forget to "reel in" the bait you
left, and actually follow through on the offer you made. The purpose of
leaving the bait was so that you would have a valid excuse for
contacting your interviewer again, which further cements you in his or
her mind. Send the materials you promised
You never know – even if you are ultimately not chosen for the
position, making this connection may still be valuable to you if
additional positions become available with the company. And making
yourself stand out in the interviewers mind may help them remember to
recommend you to other hiring parties within their company or even
external contacts in his or her network.
So give this little-known interview technique a try in your next
interview. Making a personal connection with your interviewer may just
be the thing that tips the scales in your favor over other candidates
with the same skills and experience. I think you'll find that it
increases your chance of winning a job position that is an excellent
fit for you.

On the 28th of August 2016 Google Google invited me to become a Local Guide, which I take as an honour and good fun as it tells me that some of my photos are good enough to be used in Google Maps to help others to find their way and learn more about their destinations. You can do this yourself too and earn some benefits and marketing exposure.
When I joined, I never thought, that a photo of an Iranian Restaurant in a Viennese suburb (Pars) could be viewed more than 20,000 times within 3 weeks or that the view from my balcony in Dubai is seen more than 20,000 times. The results of what is popular and what is not is sometimes really surprising. Anyhow, it doesn't earn any money, but it's good fun. Consider to contribute yourself. Google will ask you automatically when you click on my photos.
After passing the 1.0M views mark Google stopped congratulating me to new records but rather focuses on the number of photos contributed as the following email from the 25th of October shows.
- Thanks for contributing to Google Maps email from the 25th of October 2016
- 1,000,000 views email from the 18th of October 2016
- 500,000 views email from the 11th of October 2016
- 450,000 views email from the 4th of October 2016
- 250,000 views email from the 27th of September 2016
- 50,000 views email from the 13th of September 2016
- 10,000 views email from the 6th of September 2016
Mission accomplished. More than 1,000,000 Million views :-)))
Hahahaha, today I received a 500,000 congratulations email with a counter of 756,000 total views. That's funny. More important is my new star, the beautiful cradle of Austrian democracy, The Belvedere Palace. I uploaded the photo on the 22nd of October. 37,000 views in 20 days, yeah!
450,000 is a really odd number to congratulate so I conclude that the following emails are being sent every Tuesday and I just missed the one from the 20th of September somehow.
Using the known figures, calculating an estimate for the 20th of September and doing some trending with a spreadsheet I should hit the 1 Million mark around the 26th of October. :-)
Not sure if there was no email last week or if it got missing somehow. Maybe Google waited for me to reach the 250k mark.
This email was sent by Google Maps to me on the 13th of September 2016. It's the follow up on the previous email from the 6th of September 2016. Looks like Google sends out these Emails every week
This email was sent by Google Maps to me on the 6th of September 2016. It made me very proud when I received it. However, there is a follow up email by now which came one week later.

Welthungerhilfe welcomes this online consultation and appreciates this possibility to comment and to contribute to a successful Decade of Action on Nutrition in the follow up of the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2).
Achieving Zero Hunger and tackling all forms of malnutrition need a strong political will and must be on top of the political agenda. Coherent action in the context of the Decade, from all actors, such as UN agencies, governments, civil society, academia and private sector is key. We recognize the UN Decade as a unique opportunity to jointly contribute to sustainable and healthy diets and lifestyles.
All action under the Decade must be based on human rights and existing human rights obligations and commitments, particularly the right to adequate food, and recognizing human rights principles such as non-discrimination, participation, transparency and accountability.
To allow the Decade to have a real impact on the lives of the people who are most affected by malnutrition, it needs to be a people´s decade. Governments need to set up and support processes at country level that enable the most affected groups to participate in the design, implementation and monitoring of policies and programs in the context of the Decade. These processes should be coordinated with those put in place in the context of the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.
The Committee on World Food Security (CFS), based on its mandate, has an important role to play in the coordination and orientation of action between a range of actors, improving policy coherence and monitoring progress on the Implementation of the Decade in line with the Right to adequate food. The report of the CFS´s High Level Panel of Experts (HLPE) on "Food systems and nutrition" to be endorsed by the CFS 44 can provide guidance on national and international policies on nutrition.
The monitoring of the implementation of CFS decisions and policies at country level will be a critical activity to be implemented in the work program for the implementation of the Decade as a contribution of the CFS to verify progress, identify successful policies, failures and challenges and hold governments to account on their commitments and human rights obligations with regard to nutrition. As drivers of the Decade, member states should convene and support inclusive national monitoring events.
Germany has endorsed the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition and is a signatory and supporter of the outcome documents of ICN2, the WHA nutrition targets, and the Voluntary Guidelines on the Right to adequate Food. With the endorsement of the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development, Germany has recognized its domestic relevance as well as its responsibilities at international level with regard to nutrition.
The recently revised National Sustainability Strategy (NSS) aims to illustrate Germany´s contribution to the achievement of the SDGs, however, it still lacks relevant indicators which would be important, particularly to monitor the impacts of Germany´s policies on food and nutrition security and the right to adequate food on those most affected by malnutrition.
On a national level, Germany faces the growing problem of overweight and obesity. Germany is active in promoting healthy and sustainable diets and lifestyles, but mainly focuses on consumer education for behavior change which do not seem to have a significant impact on overweight and obesity rates in Germany. Within the Decade of Action on Nutrition, the government should set the legal and political framework conditions to promote healthy and sustainable diets. This includes situational prevention measures, e.g. taxes on unhealthy foods, labelling, the removal of persuasive elements from packaging, mandatory regulations for public procurement to ensure that food which is provided in canteens, schools etc. contributes to diversified healthy diets and is from environmentally and socially sustainable production.
On an international level, Germany should move forward towards monitoring and reducing adverse impacts of its policies on food and nutrition security and the right to adequate food beyond its own national borders. This requires closer coordination of public policies in different sectors (agriculture, health, education, environment, trade, finance and others) and at different levels and the definition of clear responsibilities.
Germany is a main donor in the field of sustainable food and nutrition security. The Decade provides the momentum for a significant increase of ODA funding for nutrition. This should be focused on least developed countries and the groups most affected by malnutrition and address the structural determinants of malnutrition.
To conclude, for a successful and lasting international Decade of Action on Nutrition it is necessary to formulate a systematic, detailed and coherent strategy to implement the actions proposed in the ICN2 Framework for Action at different levels. A monitoring system should be set up which allows for meaningful participation of civil society actors, particularly those most affected by malnutrition, and should, at a global level be led by the UN, especially WHO, FAO and UNSCN, and at a national level, by member states.

Developing big applications requires huge effort. There may be teams for each phase of development and they must use different design patterns and go through the whole SDLC.
I have two years of experience as a software developer on small applications and I'm interested on what are the common approaches & practices for big applications? Especially from a project management perspective.
How can I adopt such working practices?
