Innovation That Delivers Better Debt Collection Outcomes
A Focus on Critical Areas of Collections
Our next-gen delivery platform optimizes the critical areas of collections (accounts to focus on, right-party contacts, collector time on an account, contact strategy) through a combination of technology, proprietary analytics, and advanced collector education to provide our clients with superior, faster, and sustainable debt recovery rates.
Success Powered by Innovation
Here are just some of the ways that TSI's continuous innovation at every level of our operations is driving better outcomes for our clients:
Deeper Analytics
We're utilizing scoring unlike anyone else in the industry. Not only do we score at the account level, but we score individual attributes of those accounts, such as phone numbers.

Williamston opens 12th season with Laurie Gunderson's "The Taming"
WILLIAMSTON—Williamston Theatre kicks off their twelfth season with The Taming by Lauren Gunderson. Performances begin Thursday, September 21 and run through Sunday, October 22.
Tweetering, pandashrews, and undying giddiness for James Madison – what else would you expect to find at a Miss America pageant? The Taming is a raucous, all-female "power-play," in which Miss Georgia has political aspirations to match her beauty pageant ambitions. All she needs to revolutionize the American government is the help of one ultra-conservative senator's aide on the cusp of a career breakthrough, and one bleeding-heart liberal blogger who will do anything for her cause.
Contains adult content.
The cast of The Taming consists of two newcomers to the Williamston stage, Angela Dawe and Melissa Mercieca, along with Alysia Kolascz, who appeared most recently in last season's production of Pulp. Lynn Lammers (Chapatti, The Best Brothers) returns to Williamston as the director for The Taming. The production team includes scenic design by Elspeth Williams , lighting design by Brian Scruggs, costume design by Holly Iler, sound design by Quintessa Gallinat and props design by Michelle Raymond. The stage manager is Stefanie Din.
The first four performances of The Taming, September 22 -24, are Preview performances where audience members will have the opportunity to take part in the process of creating a show by participating in a talkback session with the director following each performance. The Official Opening Night is Friday, September 29 and the Conversation Sunday for The Taming is Sunday, October 15.
Tickets are Pay-What-You-Can for the Preview on Thursday, September 21. Remaining Preview tickets are $19.00. Starting Thursday, September 28 tickets prices are $27.00 for Thursday evenings, $32.00 for Friday and Saturday evenings and $29.00 for Saturday and Sunday matinees. Senior citizens (65 and older) and members of the Military receive a $2 discount on all tickets. Student tickets (with a valid student ID) are $10 for all performances. Flex Passes for the 2017-2018 Season are $170 and provide you with 6 Passes that can be used in any combination for any of the 6 shows in the 2017-2018 Season. Discounts are also available for groups of 10 or more (booked at least 1 week in advance through the Box Office). Tickets can be purchased Tuesday – Friday from 12-6pm by calling (517) 655-SHOW (7469) or by visiting the Box Office, and can be ordered on-line up until 1 1/2 hours prior to the performance by visiting www.williamstontheatre.org. Payment is required at the time the reservation is made.

If you're in need of an electric motor for a specific application or to power operations in your industrial facility, a qualified company can assist you with choosing wisely. Alternating current and direct current electric motors are commonly used to transfer electrical energy to different types of mechanical equipment. Both differ considerably from one another in design and current transference, but offer their own sets of advantages and drawbacks. An experienced manufacturer and supplier of electrical components will help you select an affordable, productive solution for your company.
What is an Electric Motor?
An electric motor is, essentially, and electro-mechanical component that uses electrical energy to power mechanical systems. These types of motors have substantially impacted engineering and technological industries since the first electrical motor was invented in 1886. There are many different types of motors that covert electrical energy into mechanical energy, but generally, they fall under one of two main categories: alternating current (AC) motors or direct current (DC) motors. AC and DC motors transfer electrical energy differently, and are thus used for different applications.
About DC Models
DC motors utilize electromagnetic technology to produce current for a variety of purposes. In DC motors, current passes through a coil located between positively and negatively charged magnets. The magnetic force creates torque and turns the motor. There are numerous models of DC motors available on the market, many of which can be found in appliances throughout your home. DC motors produce steady, constant currents and are ideal for applications that demand speed control, but they aren't usually able to generate electrical energy for lengthy periods of time.
Uses of AC Motors
Like DC motors, AC electric motors operate via electromagnetic forces. However, rather than a direct current, an alternating current passes through the motor's inner coils, which produces a smooth sine wave of current. AC motors can be found in various devices, including air conditioners, fans, vacuum cleaners, washers, dryers, and mechanical equipment. The design of AC motors makes them long-lasting, cost-effective, and ideal for a number of environments. Some types of AC motors have a tendency to overheat or even spark; however, well-made motors are able to transfer electrical energy to systems that require high levels of power.
If you're looking to purchase an AC or DC motor, or need components for one, consult Five Star Electric for your requirements.

Rest easy, Shanghai Noon fans: another sequel is on the way. In the wake of the massive success of 1998's Rush Hour, which teamed up Hong Kong superstar Jackie Chan with fast-talking comedic actor Chris Tucker, studios were eager to cash in on this lucrative premise. Thus, in the year 2000, Shanghai Noon was born. The film teamed Chan up with Owen Wilson, this time against the backdrop of the Wild West in an action buddy comedy with one-liners to spare. The film was a success and spawned a British-centric sequel in 2003, Shanghai Knights, and while a third film was discussed, it's taken until now to come to fruition.
We learned last May that MGM was indeed moving forward with Shanghai Dawn, with Owen Wilson and Jackie Chan eyed to reprise their roles, and now THR reports that Napoleon Dynamite director Jared Hess is coming aboard to take the helm. He steps in the shoes of Noon's Tom Dey (Marmaduke) and Knights' David Dobkin (Wedding Crashers), and the move comes as the latest in a series of more commercial moves for the filmmaker who got his start with the little-comedy-indie-that-could.
Wilson and Chan remain in talks to return for the film, and while story details are being kept under wraps, shortly after the release of Shanghai Knights there was talk of the franchise going to Hollywood, Africa, or the Egyptian Pyramids. Hess will be working from a story by Noon and Knights scribes Miles Millar and Alfred Gough, while Theodore Riley and Aaron Buchsbaum are handling script duties.
Hess most recently helmed the studio comedy Masterminds starring Zach Galifianakis and Kristen Wiig, which was supposed to be released last fall but was subsequently postponed due to Relativity Media's bankruptcy woes. The film is now on track for release this fall, and in the meantime Hess has stayed busy directing episodes of The Last Man on Earth and the upcoming Fox comedy Son of Zorn. Shanghai Dawn will certainly mark his biggest project to date, but I'm curious to see if interest exists for a sequel to a movie that came out over 15 years ago. For every Jurassic World there's an Independence Day: Resurgence.
What say you, folks? Are you down for another Shanghai movie? Sound off in the comments below.

It used to be that shrugging off a cold or the flu and coming into work while others booked off with such maladies was considered a sign of dedication.
Now a pair of university studies has shown that people who infect others by bringing their maladies to work inflict a greater toll on productivity than those who stay at home to recuperate.
Soon the flu season will be upon us. The updated wisdom is that if you've got a case of the sniffles, don't try to prove yourself a trooper. You'll be doing more harm than good.
But why restrict this to workers?
I run a discussion group twice a month. I would sooner a person stays at home than come with a serious cold and so be coughing and spitting all over the place.
I take two classes a week at McGill. It really bugs me when somebody comes who is sneezing and spreading germs all over the rest of us.
Taking your disease out into the wide world is the heighth of selfishness.
Should sick workers (and others) stay at home?
What do you think?

The Revolution Starts Now
No matter who wins. The networks are calling Ohio, but the AP has not. I will wait.
No matter what, the revolution is beginning here, now.
I have thought for a while about how best to go about my political life. What works and what does not. Below is a mini maifesto/platform for the new Progressive Democrat party.
1. We will make sure everyone who need help will get it. No matter their situation they will get what they need. Too many people struggle with too little help. Healthcare will be provided for those who can not afford it. Job training will be provided for those who need it. We will look at The New Deal as an example.
2. War is not just. War will be used only if all options have failed. The Bush Doctine will be abolished. Diplomacy will be the norm. Minds are always more powerful than bombs. Look at the end of communism in the Eastern Bloc.
3. Responsible spending will be the norm. Citizens are penelized when they overspend on their credit, government should face the same repercussions. We will spend what we can with what we have. The deficit should not grow.
4. Pro-Life, but not Anti-Choice. Roe v. Wade should stand. No attempt will be made to reverse it. Abortions will happen. It is better that they be safe and regulated as opposed not.
5. Marriage is an issue betweent 2 people and thier god. All unions will be recognized as civil unions.
These are a couple issues. More to come

By Benjamin Stroup
The smell of cow was new for me. I grew up in a city, and life is altogether different here in Maysville, Kentucky (population: 10,000 people, 40,000 cows).
As a child, on those rare occasions when we would drive by cows, everyone in the car would throw back their heads and "mooooo." Now cows live in the field across from my house. It's definitely not Cincinnati!
Many days, the essence of cow manure wafts across the road and regales us. It's not the sound of cows (or humans) mooing that's unbearable . . . except for those occasions in the middle of the night when four or five cows start talking and won't stop. When I moved to Maysville, I couldn't point to a cow and name its breed. I could pick out a New York strip steak, perhaps, but I couldn't describe a live cow much beyond its color.
My first day in Maysville, during the "get to know you" Q&A at Highland Christian Church, an older lady raised her hand and told me there were lots of lost people we needed to reach. I loved her instantly. Garneda was the type who would regularly give the "Kentucky handshake"—slipping a $20 bill into my palm, just because. She would take my family out to lunch and always picked the nicer places in town. So the day this kind widow asked a favor of me, I didn't hesitate. I would have helped her with anything.
That's when she asked me to "pray at my barn quilt blessing." Hmmm . . . I wasn't expecting that. I had to look up what a barn quilt was—it's "the painting hung over a barn door." I was lost. None of my friends or mentors knew what I was talking about, and I couldn't find any help for this sort of thing in my Christian Minister's Manual.
Garneda, a prominent community member, said some bigwigs would probably be at this shindig. How would I bless a barn quilt and not look like a goofball? How could I come across as spiritual without turning off anyone by seeming phony.
Over the years, I've been invited to help artificially inseminate cows and band steer (but refuse to be a part of either). I have been a judge at a 4-H food-o-rama where I unknowingly ate turtle, rabbit potpie, and deer steak. I follow tractors on the road almost daily. I have given the opening prayer for cattle auctions that draw cattlemen from all over the country. The people and things I have seen and experienced during my time in rural ministry have been like nothing I ever imagined.
Rural ministry has taught me that people—no matter their zip code, income, or acreage—are far from God and need to be reached. Within 20 miles of my church, as the crow flies (your mileage—on our curvy roads—may vary!), are 50,000 people who don't have a committed relationship with Jesus. That includes friends, neighbors, and family of the people who go to my church. And my church is committed to connecting with them where they are and reaching them for Christ.
So on that spring day, I went down the road to Garneda's barn and did the best I could to thank God for "creativity and beauty" and bless the barn quilt. I didn't put on airs or make it something it wasn't. All I could do was love Garneda, and her friends, by being a presence on that day and remind them of the God who loves them and sent his Son for them. It was just another new experience in the rural ministry life I've embraced.
Benjamin Stroup serves as lead pastor at Highland Christian Church in Maysville, Kentucky.

Title: Distributed, Intelligent Edge-Sensing for a Smarter Grid
Dr. Divan, Advisor
Dr. Grijalva, Chair
Dr. Beyah
The objective of the proposed research is to develop a new class of sensing solutions that can help in situational awareness in smart grids. As the number of distributed sensors and actuators connected to the grid increase almost exponentially, centralized connectivity models fail to provide economic value. These models have traditionally relied on expensive sensors sending raw data to the cloud for computation and processing, and receiving specific commands for exerting control actions, resulting in a system that requires high bandwidth, low latency and an overload of data on the cloud. A decentralized architecture is proposed, where sensing, local computation and control capability are embedded in the edge devices. These devices report only actionable information to the cloud, resulting in a lean 'delay-tolerant' system that can function autonomously. The proposed system leverages smart, low-cost 'clip-on' current sensors that are developed and can be quickly installed on conductors in the field. A new method to improve the dynamic range of the current sensor has been proposed, resulting in performance that is orders of magnitude better than state of the art sensors. The sensor, capable of recognizing fault current signatures, can be used by utility operators to gain advanced situational awareness in distribution networks. The sensor is designed to be low-cost and yet, covers a wide range of operating ranges and modes, including edge-computation, intelligence and communications. Finally the research proposes a method to instrument and monitor the most common electric utility asset - the distribution transformer. The novel sensor design and the decentralized architecture allows utility operators to intelligently monitor transformers and other utility assets at an ultra-low cost. The proposed research can result in a new class of devices that can help in monitoring distributed utility assets in an economical way.

8 Reasons You Should Pour Out the Booze and Socialize Sober
When you're used to taking shots before any social interaction, it feels weird when you show up anywhere sober. But I learned that it's actually better this way.
Let's face it, socializing is something that is historically associated with alcohol. If you've watched television, surfed the Internet, or even browsed your Facebook feed, you've seen advertisements from the alcohol industry — or pop culture sites in general — on what you should be doing on a Friday night, what you should be mixing your vodka with, and how you can meet good-looking people at the bar. It's one reason it took me such a long time to try sobriety. I truly thought the only way to socialize was by going out for drinks or by eyeing up my next boyfriend from across the club while listening to "Drop It Like It's Hot."
It took me a little while to adjust to life sober and socializing has been a big part of that. When you're used to taking shots before any social interaction, it feels weird when you show up anywhere sober. Each event and situation that I participated in sober was a new learning opportunity, and they proved to me that socializing sober is much better than socializing drunk.
1. It's Genuine.
I was always the drinker who felt these deep spiritual connections with their drunk friends. I would meet someone at a nightclub in a bathroom at 2 a.m. and she would just get me. We'd be besties for the rest of the night. Sometimes these "friendships" lasted and we'd become party pals. I had tons of party pals, people who I could call on any day at any time and convince them to drink with me. Since getting sober, I've come to realize just how fake these connections were. It takes a lot more than sharing tequila shots to become close with another human. Sobriety has shown me that genuine connections are made with a clear head.
2. It Doesn't Entail a Hangover.
Socializing for me in active addiction always had a hangover attached to it. That's because I didn't know how to socialize without consuming alcohol. I won't lie to you, I had a lot of fun on some days while drinking, but the price I always paid was a nasty hangover. No matter how much fun I thought I was having, the next day I paid for it. Socializing sober doesn't require the social currency of a hangover. Today when I socialize, I get to wake up the next morning feeling refreshed.
3. You Develop Connections that Have Substance.
Along with drunk connections not being genuine, they also don't have substance. When I got sober, I left a lot of friends behind because I realized we had nothing in common. What we had in common previously was drinking and drama. Once you leave that stuff behind, you realize you need to socialize with other people who have similar world views and goals. It's easier to find people like this when you are sober, understand what you're looking for in this life, and go out to the right places and get it.
4. You Don't Have to Worry About Embarrassing Yourself.
My drinking years were a long history of embarrassing situations. I know people who drink and aren't alcoholics who have embarrassed themselves, at least a time or two, while indulging in alcohol. The beauty of socializing sober is that you don't have to worry about embarrassing yourself! Of course, it's possible to make a mistake or do something silly while sober, but not to the extent that I used to do it when I was drinking. I can make the conscious decision to behave in a certain way while socializing instead of leaving it up to who I become during a blackout…
For four more reasons why socializing sober is better than hitting the gathering drunk, check out the rest of the original feature article, 8 Reasons Why Socializing Sober is Better Than Socializing Drunk, over at The Fix.

text: CM NEW YORK - Mexican actress Salma Hayek has accused US presidential hopeful Donald Trump of telling tales about her after turning down his advances. The Frida star opened up about her links to the Republican during an appearance on radio show El Show del Mandril on Friday, and wanted to set the record straight about a story she claimed Trump's associates leaked to the National Enquirer. According to Salma, someone told the tabloid Donald wouldn't date her because she was too short. "He wouldn't say he called, but someone told the National Enquirer," she explained. "I'm not going to say who because you know that whatever he wants to come out, comes out in the National Enquirer. It said that he wouldn't go out with me, because I was too short. "Later, he called and left me a message: 'Can you believe this? Who would say this? I don't want people to think this about you!' He thought that I would try to go out with him so people wouldn't think that's why he wouldn't go out with me."

The Chainsmokers are back once again with their hit, "This Feeling". It features Kelsea Ballerini, which isn't her typical genre. Listen to how their different styles collaborate.
With not much announcement, Avril dropped this single almost out of nowhere. She comes back with a more mature voice than you may be used to.
Loote is still a fairly upcoming artist, so most of their work goes unnoticed by the average lostener. Be sure to watch them climb in popularity.
"Swap Meet" is a song that brings you back to the '08 rap scene. It's got a good beat to blast in the car and most of the words aren't mumbled.
Last but not least, we have Kevin Gates's new single. While the title may throw some shade at the #MeToo movement, it's an enjoyable song to listen to. Due to the contents of this song, there's no way it'll be played on the radio anytime soon.
And those are the hidden hits of the week. Check them out now!

The Man Who Saved Basketball
This is my most ambitious book to date and is about the remarkable life of Junius A. Kellogg. In 1951, it was Junius who helped uncover the biggest scandal in the history of collegiate basketball, perhaps sports. It would be the beginning of his journey. In his lifetime he was a coach, community organizer, advocate, respected New York City planner and role model for millions of people. Yet, his story nearly faded from history until I took up his cause.
Surgery Handbooks
The "Friendly Handbook" Surgical Recovery Coping Tips and Tricks books are a NON-MEDICAL series. They fill a need that many orthopedic practices ignore, and that is coping with life in the first weeks and months after surgery. Each book is constructed to be a Forum based on the first person comments of actual patients. The patients touch on many aspects of how they personally coped with their recovery, from sleeping to dressing to personal hygiene. So far, there are two books in the series with two to three more projected in 2019.
Past Projects
My writing world takes me from projects I do for myself to co-written to ghostwritten books. I write on a number of interesting topics, but they share common elements including my love of research, history, nature and the discovery of lost pieces of the "American story."

Legitimate Work from Home Data Entry Jobs
Working from home is one of the most attractive ways to make money. Of course, it also doesn't hurt that most of the methods involved in this line of work doesn't really require a lot of hard work, since you can easily work wisely instead of hard. Unlike when working a 9 to 5, you can find methods that will help you to earn without having to enslave yourself away.
An excellent example that you can take on is to find legitimate work from home data entry jobs. This may sound extremely easy, but if you don't look around well enough, you might end up getting scammed.
As scams and frauds are some of the biggest dangers in joining the internet work force, you will have to pay close attention to whatever it is you're investing on. If you slack off when looking for an online employment or paying gig, you can end up getting swindled or worse – becoming a victim of identity theft.
But how do you protect yourself in situations like these? Simple: by finding legitimate work from home data entry jobs. Luckily, you can do that with these simple tips:
1. Stick with well known companies first. If you don't mind having a middleman, you can always get "hired" in a data entry firm. They may not pay you as much as freelancing can help you earn, but you can be sure that you'll get a steady flow of assignments that you can work on and get paid for.
2. If you want to freelance, try to secure a steady contract. Sometimes, working well enough can snag you a steady client that will let you handle all of their data entry tasks. Of course, these are quite hard to find, so if you're freelancing and you've found a promising client, make sure to do your best to get this as a long term contract work.
3. Avoid those that ask you to pay them before you get any tasks. Most of the time, these programs are just scams and not anything more. Unless they can provide you something good in return for the fees you're supposed to pay (and this doesn't include a good number of "promises"), do not go for it.
4. Research well. In the internet, how much you know will help you avoid certain pitfalls and disappointments. So arm yourself with the information you need when it comes to making money online.
A lot more techniques can help you find legitimate work at home data entry jobs. Just remember to do a good search for it so you can know more.

Volunteers needed for St Vincent de Paul Society home visits
Dear St Michael's Community
St Vincent de Paul Bassendean Conference are seeking Associate Members as volunteers for the emergency relief home visitations we do in our Bassendean, Ashfield and Eden Hill area.

Volunteers must visit in pairs and you will always be accompanied on the home visits. The volume of calls for urgent financial and other assistance is growing, especially in the winter months. Please contact William if you could spare some time Mobile 0437 707 670 Email email@example.com

When relationships go wrong for girls by Collett Smart
Girlhood relationships are so important, yet they can be both wonderful and awful in the same week. A friendship fallout hurts, but children need to know that arguing doesn't have to be the end of the friendship. Developmentally, some squabbling is vital because it helps kids learn about respectful conflict resolution. Here's how parents can help at these difficult times:
Listen to their story
When inevitable conflict arises, girls can often get caught in a 'rumination loop' replaying the scene over in their minds, like a song stuck on repeat, which makes things feel catastrophic. As a girl's brain is still learning how to interpret some responses, she may be misinterpreting a friend's words or signals. If this is the case, ask her to look for evidence to support her interpretation. Suggest your daughter talks to her friend privately in an assertive way. Help her plan the conversation beforehand, starting with 'I' words, which encourage her to own her feelings. She could say, 'I felt let down when …' Model apologies at home. Help her think of ways to say, 'I'm sorry. Can we fix this?'
Discuss the shifting nature of friendships
Relationships don't always last. As girls grow their tastes and interests change. They want to explore the possibilities of new people and activities. This often leads to hurt when one girl is not ready for a shift.
Parents can help by explaining that changes in friendships are a part of growing up (although never an excuse for meanness). Rather than simply dismissing a girls' feelings as silly, acknowledge the hurt and gently reassure her there are many new, interesting people she will meet.
Expand her village
Ensure your daughter has friends in a few settings – a neighbour, a team mate, a family friend. They can provide a different connection and helps girls realise they are not alone.
Discuss toxic friendships
Most girls will experience the pain of interacting with a toxic 'friend' during their school years. This type of interaction is called relational aggression and serves to damage a person's sense of social place. For instance, a girl may appear to be friendly but she may use passive-aggressive strategies such as gossip, ostracism and online exclusion. These actions can be very confusing, leading to feelings of shame and loneliness.
When not given healthy ways to express their pain, girls can often internalise their emotions in unhealthy ways like such as through self-harm, anxiety, eating disorders and self- loathing.
Allow her to express hurt
Allow your daughter the chance to process pain, vent or cry when they are hurting. Adults may not be able to change a toxic person's behaviour, but shouldn't underestimate the power of listening and being available. Don't assume that you know what your daughter needs. Rather ask, "What do you need from me in this situation?" When a relationship problem escalates it may need to be taken to the school for further intervention.
Provide growth opportunities
Help your daughter develop the skills for developing healthy friendships. Explicitly teach your daughter to think about what compassion, kindness and empathy look like in a friend and helps her recognise what it means to be a good friend herself.
Helping girls manage friendship issues can be exhausting so parent self-care becomes a priority during these times. Girls benefit enormously from having a caring, emotionally healthy adult in their lives who can support them and help them process their thoughts and emotions when peer relationships turn sour.

You don't have to try very hard to be afraid of the internet these days. From the constant stream of online harassment to history-altering foreign interference in democratic elections, it's obvious that the internet, for all its benefits, is often used as a tool of manipulation and destruction. Hell, there's a reason the FBI director warned people to cover their webcams. With 2014's Unfriended, Blumhouse and director Levan Gabriadze channeled internet phobia into a silly but entertaining horror-thriller that tackled digital bullying with a paranormal slant, told entirely from the vantage point of a laptop screen.
For the new anthology style sequel Unfriended: Dark Web, which shares nothing more than a title and format with the original, director Steven Sucso abandons all pretense of juvenile silliness in favor of a brutal and bleak trip to the shady recesses of the dark web, where a group of college-aged friends finds themselves the subject of some seriously twisted streaming entertainment. The film follows the surprisingly likable gang, who keep in touch via Skype for their regular game night, a tradition that sees them paling around from across the world, though most of them still live close enough to create some third-act tension as they try to save each other's lives.
We meet them through Matias (Colin Woodell), who boots up his shiny new (read: stolen) laptop and thus we enter the world of Dark Web with the oh-so-familiar Apple "bwom". A few crowd-pleasing password attempts later, Matias is in, and we quickly learn a few things about him. For one, obviously, he's a thief, so he's not all that honest. He's also pretty smart, having created a an ASL translation software and he's madly in love with his girlfriend Amaya (Stephanie Nogueras), a hearing-impaired young woman who struggles with their difficulty communicating — she can understand him, but he can't understand her. And despite his obvious affections (he immediately boots up a playlist devoted to her), he's not willing to make the effort to learn ASL himself. He tries to do something sweet, misses the point, and they have quite a row. That's when it's time for Game Night to begin, and we watch as Matias anxiously switches between windows and chat boxes, trying to get Amaya to talk with him while also participating in the fun.
"Screenlife", which is the the name for the burgeoning subgenre of films told through device screens, is getting more popular by the year and Sucso takes to the format like seasoned pro, expertly building tension through overlapping video chats and the all-too-relatable anxiety of that disappeared triple-dot texting bubble. In this day and age, we all speak the language of technology and each new Screenlife film further expands the on-screen dictionary.
It's not long before Matias uncovers a barely hidden file on his laptop drive, and therein discovers a window into a dangerous part of the dark web, along with a folder full of chilling video files — a man stalks into a teenage girl's window while she sleeps, a young woman with a chain around her neck lunges forward at a can of food that's just out of her reach. Just like that, he and his friends are in the shit, caught up in an underground ring of killers who trade millions in bitcoin and teach you the meaning of "Trephination" (it means drilling a hole in someone's head — saved you a disturbing google).
Once the real game is afoot, Sucso uses his tension-building skills to impressive effect. We only ever see the action from the perspective of Matias' screen, but the tension never lags because Sucso knows how to make sure each keystroke, click of the mouse and chatroom ding carries emotional intent behind it. The film's worst technical quality is the insistence on blurring out the bad guys every time they pop up on screen — a stylistic holdover from the first film that doesn't work without the supernatural presence. Whenever the screen gets garbled, you're immediately pulled out of the film, not just because it's loud and distracting but because it makes no sense. On the flip side, the film's soundscape is a real trick of editing, seamlessly drawing your attention to keep you in Matias' head from moment-to-moment, helping the audience transition between scenes and set-pieces without the benefit of traditional camerawork.
But If Dark Web is a technical accomplishment and gripping experience, it is also far too cruel and mean-spirited to be half as fun as the original. When it comes down to it, you're pretty much watching a 90-minute snuff film, and if you're into that kind of horror movie, great! Unfriended will probably be a lot of fun for you. Otherwise, woof, strap in because this is a dark movie and sometimes it's genuinely upsetting. Particularly in the third act; a meat-grinder of misery that swallows each character ands spits them out in pieces.

About Him
Overview… a burned-out former Iowa state amateur bowling champion. Roy was headed for stardom until he got his bowling hand irreparably mangled in an incident involving the devious Ernie McCracken. Seventeen years later he's a nobody, a zero, a broke alcoholic with a hook for a hand and a crap apartment in Scranton, Pennsylvania. One day, he discovers an Amish bowling phenom named Ishmael Boorg and takes him under his wing with the hopes that Ishmael can win the prestigious Reno Invitational and its $1 million cash prize.
Personality… selfish, confrontational, and bitter. But he wasn't always that way. Before the accident, Roy was a charismatic ladies' man, the type to start a dance party in the bowling alley. What's more, he had morals. Now he stages fake robberies in which he "saves" his landlady so that she won't make him pay rent. But perhaps teaching Ishmael can give Roy a new lease on life. It certainly couldn't hurt.

Corsair's new H150i Pro liquid cooler is another excellent addition to the Hydro family.
The company's first 360mm liquid cooler, it is obviously a fair large unit that won't necessarily fit in all cases. However, the pump's design has been tweaked and I think it looks great. The pump also sports RGB lighting, as one would expect from Corsair, and it is nice and subtle.
Installation is also dead easy given that this is an Asetek-based liquid cooler – the process barely takes a minute, it is that simple.
Now, in terms of performance, the H150i Pro does very well indeed. It isn't the absolute best-performing 360mm liquid cooler we've seen – that award still goes to the Alphacool Eisbaer – but it is still very competitive and will tame any CPU on the market right now.
That is all the more impressive when consider the fact that the H150i Pro is actually very quiet. This may come as a surprise to some, as Corsair's liquid coolers do have a reputation for being on the louder side, shall we say, but the H150i Pro bucks that trend completely thanks to its new ML-series fans.
As such, it is hard not to be impressed. Here we have a top-performing cooler, that looks good and is easy to install, and isn't earth-shatteringly loud. Good job Corsair, the H150i Pro is well-deserving of our 'Must Have' award.
We don't yet have UK availability information, but the H150i Pro has a $169.99 MSRP in the US, so expect similar pricing here.
Buy from Overclockers UK for £164.99 inc vat HERE.
- Very competitive performance.
- Looks good.
- Very easy to install.
- Actually very quiet despite the impressive thermal performance.
- Zero RPM mode ensures fans switch off under low load.
- Not the cheapest liquid cooler around.
KitGuru says: Corsair has nailed it with the H150i Pro. In my opinion, this is the best liquid cooler they've made.

As we learned from presenter David Cohen at that very same presentation, pharmaceutical companies (according to statistics from 2011) spend over $10.5 billion per year on marketing for four classes of psychiatric drugs alone.
10.5 BILLION DOLLARS. At the same time, many psychiatrists acknowledge that much of their information about specific drugs comes from pharmaceutical representatives. These are the same representatives who are paid a large percent of that $10.5 billion to convince people to use their product, NOT to educate and provide unbiased information.
So, do we have a right to say no to these pharmaceutical reps and their gifts of free food and other 'perks'? Yes, actually we do. Laws vary from state to state, but it's worth noting that:
to read the rest of this article, click below:
In looking at the Massachusetts database, we found that in 2011, $1,114,025.00 was declared by pharmaceutical companies for gifts of food. This database represents the minimum standard in the state. Pharmaceutical lunches are not illegal and may still be used as a tool, but gifts must be declared. However, there is also nothing to stop us from setting higher standards as individuals and organizations.
