Sengoku Basara Anime Film's Web Promo Streamed
posted on by Egan Loo
Film based on Capcom game & TV anime opened on June 4
The film distributor Shochiku posted an 84-second web-only promotional video for the Sengoku Basara -The Last Party- anime film on its Yahoo! Japan channel on Saturday. (The previous 30-second trailer, a 60-second trailer, and a 170-second trailer are also still available.) The site warns that this new video contains spoilers.
The film based on CAPCOM's videogame franchise and television anime series opened in Japan on June 4. Funimation streamed both seasons of the television series, and it also released the complete first season on Blu-ray Disc and DVD last October.

Before this year, Jordan Peele was best known as one half of the comedy duo Key & Peele, having their own eponymous show on comedy central. Then, 2017 happened (oh, and did it happen). The year actually did start out right– with the release of Get Out, Peele's directorial debut, resulting in all-around critical and financial success.
What Get Out proved is that you can successfully blend comedy, horror, and political commentary, without losing the best aspects of any of the three. And now Peele's returning to those genres (or, at least, the political part), having just pitched a show about vigilante Nazi hunters in the US during the 1970s. They're calling it The Hunt.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the show "follows a diverse band of Nazi hunters in 1970s America as they set out on a quest for revenge and justice — tracking and killing hundreds of Nazis who, with the unconscionable help of the U.S. government, escaped justice and embedded themselves in American society." There's no network attached yet, but apparently the show was put on the fast track after the neo-Nazi rallies in Charlottesville last month.
We're hoping for those moments of heart-wrenching suspense, coupled with cutting, witty, dialogue that so well characterized Get Out. And if you've seen the alternate ending of Get Out, you already know that Peele has no qualms with laying systemic and institutional negligence bare, meaning we might just learn a thing or two about how the US government helped those Nazis hide–educating us in between our laughing, gasping, and furrowing of brows, of course.
In related news, it was revealed earlier this year that Spike Lee has enlisted Peele's help in his new project, The Black Klansman. It's about another real story in history, of a black cop who successfully infiltrated the KKK. Jordan Peele is getting us really excited about hidden histories, and we know you're getting stoked on them, too.

Short description
The Clothing Bank provides business skills training to unemployed mothers and motivates them to become successful businesswomen.
In South Africa, women are less likely than men to receive formal schooling, but more likely to support dependants. Low levels of education and training deny many women access to decent employment opportunities. The low wages that they consequently receive mean that, as breadwinners, they cannot meet their families' needs. As a result many women and their dependants remain trapped in poverty.
Skills development can offer women a path out of poverty, as well as empower them to challenge unfair gender relations. Financial self-sufficiency can give women greater autonomy within the home, enabling them to renegotiate household relationships.
The Clothing Bank was founded in 2010 to provide unemployed mothers with business training and empower them to become self-employed business owners.
The Clothing Bank has developed an innovative model to provide trainees with practical experience in trading and in running a small retail operation. The organisation receives donated surplus clothing from retailers in South Africa and uses this clothing as a tool to teach. The Clothing Bank sells the garments to the women at a discounted price and after applying an average of 100% mark-up, the women resell the clothing in their communities. In this way, trainees are able to learn the trade while generating a monthly income. Women are encouraged to trade within six weeks of starting the training and apply all of their learning in a real life environment. They are provided with R500 credit in the form of clothing to get started, which they have to repay over five months.
The training programme runs over a two year period with an intake of 100 new women every year. It is based on a holistic model, aiming to simultaneously ensure the business as well as the personal and emotional wellbeing of the women. Training courses include financial skills, business skills, selling skills, merchandising, life skills, parenting skills, health and wellbeing. Together with an accredited training partner, the second year of training offers graduates NQF Level 4 accreditation. Only those women who show enough motivation and talent are offered the opportunity to do this leg of the programme.
The Clothing Bank also donates excess garments to registered non-profit organisations. They currently support over 70 organisations Nationally, such as orphanages, old age homes, women's shelters and homeless shelters, amongst others. The Clothing Bank have branches in the Western cape, Gauteng, KZN and Eastern Cape.
What we like about this organisation
- The organisation is assisting unemployed women to learn entrepreneurship and run their own businesses. The Clothing Bank is lead by a qualified managing team and has strong relations in the retail industry.
What difference can your money make?
- R10 000 will pay for the training of one women over a year.
- R250 000 will provide one year's training to 25 women.
- R750 000 will pay for the training of 75 women for one year.
Volunteering opportunities
- Accredited life coaches

A quarter pounder with cheese bought from McDonald's (left side of picture) is compared with one created for a photo shoot.
Ever wonder why your quarter pounder looks nothing like the one on the commercials?
Hint: the camera-ready quarter pounder takes hours to construct with a team of Toronto-based experts armed with a syringe, a heat gun and Photoshop, of course.
In an unusual step, a McDonald's flack in Toronto posted a YouTube video to try to explain why their burgers look so much better on TV. The video has gone viral with nearly 1.6 million hits.
In the clip, Hope Bagozzi, director of marketing for McDonald's Canada, orders a quarter pounder with cheese in store and compares it to a food stylist-crafted burger.
In store, Bagozzi said, the burgers take about a minute to slap together, while it takes a food stylist several hours to meticulously craft the camera-ready sandwich. The expert in the video carefully puts the pickles and onions toward the outer edge of the burger and uses a syringe to squirt the condiments on it. He also uses a heat gun to delicately melt the cheese. The image is then Photoshopped to fix any blemishes on the bun, correct any out-of-place sesame seeds or toppings and boost the colour.
As for the size discrepancies between the tiny in-store burger and large expert-made sandwich, Bagozzi claims the heat trapped in the cardboard box after preparation causes the bun to shrink.

How Brands Can Distinguish Themselves and Serve A Purpose
Sometimes brand purpose gets lost in the shuffle. A strong brand purpose will tune consumers in to meaningful cultural conversation. Using social impact makes it easy to unleash your brands full potential. First remember to take analytics into account. Your brand can use consumer data to unveil relevant social issues – specifically ones that people truly care about. Quite often the data unfolds into a meaningful narrative.
Using big data, Amazon broke new ground to make organic food even more accessible. Their partnership with Whole Foods enabled customers to pre-order groceries and pick them up in store. But with newfound convenience there's always a craving for even more convenience. Cue the Prime now app, which allowed pre-ordered groceries to be picked up curbside. And finally, delivered directly to your household. Amazon is innovative and always looking to fine-tune their product development, which is why they are extra attentive to consumer data.
After taking the analytics into consideration, nudge the consumer. Content overload makes them an easy target. Take full advantage of technology to help push consumers in the right direction. In order to make things as simple as possible, always provide users with the necessary tools to self-navigate. This way they still feel empowered even though the behavioral shift was induced. Snapchat partnered with TurboVote to prompt users to register to vote. On voter registration day, a "Tap to complete registration" link appeared on voting-eligible user's Snapchat profile. The app even offered new snap filters so that users could remind their friends to register as well.
Humans like tangibility and there is no better way to convey your brand's purpose than with concrete change. Carlsberg's new "Snap Packs" are an excellent example of one brand's mission to go-green.
Plastic six-pack rings have long been a threat to marine wildlife. Carlsberg announced that their beers will now be held together with recyclable glue rather than plastic ring holders. The glue will save a whopping 1,200 tones of plastic annually. Carlsberg doesn't own the rights to the glue and they did so intentionally. It's not about competition, in fact Carlsberg CEO is hopeful that other breweries and beverage companies follow suit and swap in glue too!
In the 2018 Earned Brand study conducted by Edelman, sixty-four percent of participants said they are buying or not buying from brands based solely on the company's stance on prevalent issues in society. By honing in on what your brand does rather than what it says, a narrative of brand purpose unfolds. Connecting brand purpose to a timely issue will leave a lasting impression on the consumer by evoking emotion.

We know, for instance, than she never reads a newspaper story beyond the headline. But perh aps that has nothing to do with her sight. Perhaps it's because she can no longer hold onto an idea for the length of a paragraph.

Simon Belmont finally meets his grandfather.
Posted By Ravi Sinha | On 23rd, Feb. 2013 Under Article, Video News
The saga of the Belmonts is one of tragedy and darkness and nothing emphasizes that better than the new story trailer for one of the protagonists Simon Belmont as he runs into Dracula in Casltevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate.
For those keeping track: Gabriel Belmont became Dracula at the end of Lords of Shadow for the consoles. His son, Trevor Belmont – whose story is also told in Mirror of Fate – later becomes Alucard in attempting to free his father.
Will darkness and evil prevail when the dust settles or does Simon Belmont yet have a trick or three up his sleeve?
Find out when Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate releases on March 5th for North America and March 8th for Europe on Nintendo 3DS. A demo for the game is also available on the Nintendo eShop in Europe, with a North American release happening next week.

La haine (1995)
La haine (1995) — The early 1990s brought about a whole bunch of movies set in the ghetto, the hood, the projects, etc. However, the problems of social marginalization are hardly uniquely American phenomena. France has problems too. America has ghettos, France has banlieues. The film takes place just after a major riot that was inspired by police brutality is the arrest of Abdell, a friend of the main characters. Vincent Cassel, Hubert Koundé, and Saïd Taghmaoui star as Vinz, Hubert, and Saïd (how they came up with the character names I'll never know). As minority residents (Jewish, black, & Middle Eastern) of a low-income area they're all feeling pretty disenfrachised but all react in different ways. Hubert just wants to get out while Vinz dreams of retribution against the cops (and remains willfully ignorant to the fact that there are good cops too [while mostly antiauthoritarian in tone, the film does have some good cop characters amidst the many bad and does take the position that like any group cops have good and bad among their ranks]). Things get interesting when Vinz finds a gun lost by a police officer during the riots. Director Mathieu Kassovitz (who you might recognize as Nino from Amélie or the mugger with the silly hat in The Fifth Element) shot the film expertly in black and white and the images of the film stay with you after viewing. Despite being in a different country, there isn't too much of a culture barrier. The problems illustrated by the movie were real in 1995 when it was made and continue to be real, as evidenced by the riots in 2005. Kassovitz and then-Minister-of-the-Interior (now President) Nicolas Zarkozy had something of a war of words about the rioters. Obviously I'm not French (though I am very slowly learning the language) but this films makes you think about issues like economic marginalization and social disenfranchisement. It's a thoughtful movie and well worth seeing.

Executive Chef Henrico Grobbelaar had to work twice as hard to be where he is today. Having first studied Engineering for four years straight after school, he always felt that he was catching up compared to other chefs in the industry. Working double shifts was his way of showing dedication to his craft and ambition to match.
His engineering degree hasn't gone to waste even if he is working in the kitchen now. The precision is always present as soon as he puts on an apron, from the preparation all the way to plating each and every dish.
We had the opportunity to enjoy the new menu at Towers Restaurant recently and I for one am very happy that he has found his calling as a Chef. It gives us the chance to appreciate the beautiful dishes that he's been creating for many years. Chef Henrico has been with Crystal Towers for about 4 months and is delighting many guests with an innovative fine-dining menu.
Norwegian Salmon
Norwegian salmon is a dish that is on many menus in Cape Town. Wanting to bring in South African flavours, this version is truly unique. Cardimon, orange peel and sugar allow for a beautiful Malay undertone that works perfectly with this delicious starter.
Seared Tuna
Tuna was the main ingredient for the next dish. But as for the Norwegian salmon, it was complimented with flavours that you wouldn't normally expect. Mexican cuisine was the theme to go along with the perfectly seared seafood. It came with a refreshing corn salad and a crisp ciabata to substitute for the Mexican taco. A creamy guacamole was added that had quite a kick; it brought this dish to a whole other level.
Lamb Loin
This dish allowed for a range of different textures, cooking styles and flavours to shine. It's always exciting to sample different sensations with every element on a plate first. When paired as one exciting meal, it's a true delight. My favourite dish of our evening has to go to the lamb loin.
Caramalised Banana
This dessert was full on crazy but in a good way. Banana. Caramel. Coffee. Ice Cream. All in one delicious dish. I could eat an entire tub of the banana ice-cream which the restaurant makes on site. The creaminess of the ice-cream works perfectly with the saltiness of the caramelized banana. The pastry crumble, coconut flakes and toasted macademia nuts gave this dish a great contrast in textures that I really enjoyed. It's just a fun dish all around.
Layered Chocolate Mousse
Chocolate and Strawberries – always a winning combination. Add a cinnomon ice-cream and a chocolate crumble to elevate a simple dish to new heights. A fantastic dish to end our evening at Crystal Towers.
The restaurant is currently offering a fantastic date night special every Wednesday, where 3 courses including a bottle of wine are available for only R500 per couple. It's the perfect opportunity to try out an exciting fine dining restaurant at a very affordable price.

I'm mostly talking about people who sell things in the health and dental fields, but this could apply to the automotive industry, cell phone industry, and other industries, as well. Salespersons should never lose their integrity just to try to make a sale. They should never let someone walk out the door with a life-threatening illness that could be resolved by a $4 prescription or an automotive problem that could ultimately cause an accident and hurt them and other innocent drivers. You get the point.
It's great to make a sale in your industry if you get the opportunity. It's wonderful if you can convince someone to buy XYZ product or service, and that XYZ product or service somehow benefits them. However, a salesperson should not be heartless if the customer declines XYZ product due to financial limits, product knowledge, desire to take another action plan, etc. At the end of the day, the salesperson or sales manager should respect the customer's decision and give that person what he or she wants unless it's dangerous. Even when that's the case, the customer still has a right to choose that action plan. The salesperson cannot take away that person's right to choose because it's the customer's money. He can instead make the person sign a disclaimer or waiver to relieve himself of the responsibility and still respect the client's wishes.
I'm specifically talking about a recent issue I had with one of those chain dentistry places, but as I said, it applies to all sales. The business wanted to sell me a costly solution when I just wanted a quick inexpensive solution that I knew wasn't permanent. I just wanted to be healthy and have a bit more time to save money for the more expensive (but most likely necessary) solution. I feel that the practitioner was wrong because he stripped me of my right to choose the other option. He could have charged me for the visit (I was there on a promotion), and I would have paid him for writing the (JUST AN antibiotic to kill the infection) prescription, but I never got that option at all. I left the facility ill instead, and dental infections are tricky because they can get into the bloodstream and literally cause death. To me, this was a case of unethical sales tactics.
A caring provider would not want someone to leave without getting help even if it didn't make the facility a whole lot of money that day. Sometimes, you can gain long-term customers and clients just by being honest and helpful to them when they need assistance.
Anyway, you get the point. Sales positions are tricky. Yes, you have to make sales, but you shouldn't ever lie or cheat people to do so. You do have to look out for the patient, customer, or client, but at the same time, you can't strip that person of his or her rights. A sales professional has to have a balance of compassion and empathy as well as the desire to earn money for himself/herself and the company. If the scale tips too much toward the dollar side, the saleperson can lose his or her soul. Just saying.

Analysis and Reaction characterization
The junior research group Analysis and Reaction Characterization analyzes the reactions taking place in micro reactors during the production of bioactive substances and their precursor states from biological components (so-called biobricks). The particular aim of this work is to examine the efficiency of the production process and to use these results for process optimization. Moreover the group works on the development of continuous micro preparative purification methods that are adapted to the output of the micro reactors. The group plans to develop a cyclic purification system in which the desired and undesired products can be identified by detailed analysis with methods such as coherent anti stokes Raman (CARS) or surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), so that they can be separately extracted from the system. Leftover starting material can then be fed to the reactor again.

More art students are turning to the web to build their creative skills. Why not take the opportunity to build your own career teaching art online? Plus, whether you're skilled in manga style drawings, oil paintings, have a teaching credential or not, there's a path and platform that's right for you.
Get started now with this beginner's guide on how to teach art online:
Choose Your Teaching Platform
Your first step is choosing the teaching platform. This will allow you to create a more involved, fulfilling learning experience. Online learning can be an isolating experience for students, so you need a platform that allows for engagement among the class, and you, the instructor. The more engaged students are with your class, the better your instructor ratings and course reviews.
If you don't have a degree or a teaching credential, no worries! There are several platforms you can still leverage: this includes creating your own website, uploading monetized videos on YouTube, and selling Udemy courses. Those are a top three for any instructor just getting started with online art instruction or selling their own courses on the web.
Here are several more to consider:
- Skillshare
- Teachable
- Rozuku
- Click4Course
- Digital Chalk
- OpenSesame
- Course Merchant
These options are great if you would rather sell courses independently.
If you have a credential, bachelor's, or master's, you have even more opportunities to teach art online art. With the rising popularity of online learning, more accredited institutions are offering courses that are exclusively online. That means more teaching opportunities for you.
Colleges and Universities That Hire Online Art Teachers
- The Savannah College of Design
- Southern New Hampshire University
- Full Sail City
- Academy of Art University Online
- the Art Institute of Pittsburgh Online
- Art institutes Online
- Arizona State University Online
- Savannah College of Art and Design
Keep a lookout for when these online universities are hiring new art instructors.
K through 12 education is also growing fast in the online realm. Online K through 12 institutions like Connections Academy hires art teachers from all over the country to to teach everything from the principles of design to advanced placement art history.
Communicate With Your Students
How you interact with students will impact whether or not they spread the word about your class. Plan to spend time with each student, and keep in contact throughout the class.
Take advantage of any provided discussion forums provided by your online university. If you're going independent through Udemy, you may want to beef up your social media marketing skills by creating a discussion group, official social media accounts, and youtube teasers.
Course Trailers
Speaking of. If you're having trouble getting students to buy your course, offering a sample class on YouTube is a great way to generate interest. It familiarizes potential students with your unique teaching style and what they can expect to achieve from the course.
Offer the introduction and first chapter of your online art course for free and give students the option of purchasing the rest to learn more.
Check out this popular course trailer for a Udemy art course:
Certificates of Completion (for YOU and your students)
One of the biggest draws of online courses is earning a certificate. Students and job seekers use these to supplement their work experience and education.
As an online art teacher, you should also invest in your own continuing education. Additional certificates not only sharpen your current skills, but could open doors in other teaching fields as well. Consider additional education in graphic design, coding, product design, and humanities to find more opportunities to teach the subjects you love.
Finding Your Next Teaching Job
Don't forget to stay alerted to that next available online teaching job by creating keyword alerts on Indeed and Google. You may also want to consider signing up for FlexJobs, which regularly posts exclusive online teaching openings.
Think you know how to teach art online? Prove it! Put these ideas to the test and channel your own creativity to put a new spin on online teaching. Get started on your new online career now and check back often for more tips on carving out a career in the arts.

Jonathan Rowe makes a very interesting argument in the wake of the California Supreme Court's ruling legalizing gay marriage, that such a decision, overriding the results of a public referendum is fundamentally republican in character, and that most of the other actions which have supported gay marriage have their origins in the same ideas of government which republicanism and the Republican party are based on, specifically the rule of law and the supremacy of the rights of the individual over the rule of democratic (the voting not the party) masses.
This highlights what an alien presence the religious and moralistic right and its extreme and totalitarian views are to the basic values of the Republican Partty. It also makes me wonder if what we are seeing today is not a backlash against the GOP, but a backlash specifically against the religious right and its influence in poilitics, expressed through the ascendance of the relatively a-religious McCain and the rise of California as a model of a more rational form of Republicanism in the Schwarzenegger administration and this recent court ruling.
California may be showing the rest of us the way towards the future of a better GOP.

TeamLava, the prices for gem items are ridiculous. They need to be lowered dramatically or changed the coin items. No one can enjoy a game where updates are mainly HIGH priced gem items. Since City Story Metro replaced City Story, this game should be better in EVERY aspect. Not everyone is rich, TeamLava, so not everyone can keep throwing away money to purchase gems. I wouldn't pay 200 gems for a 1x1, small house. I wouldn't pay 75 gems for a small 1x1 Wall Fountain. And this is just to name a few.
TeamLava, not many people do I know play this game, but you have to start somewhere. This game hasn't even received many manual updates. None of our suggestions have been implemented. You make it seem as if you aren't listening to your players who support you and give you money. I hope you take this into consideration with this game and ALL of the TeamLava games. Even with the ones that are in development right now.

How to Combat Stress at Work
Although people may love their jobs, saying that they never have a single moment of stress might not be the whole truth. This is true especially if one's job is hectic, quick-paced and demanding, and there seems not to be enough time in a day to do everything which needs to be done. The terrible thing about stress is that it can affect people's health in very serious ways, wreaking havoc on their bodies and their minds. Here, then, are a few things that you can do if you feel that your stress is starting to get out of hand – following these few tips can help you feel much better and avoid serious health problems.
The first thing that people can do if they want to reduce the stress that they feel because of work is to practice some breathing exercises. When people are stressed out, their breathing and their heartrate become faster, which can lead to a panic attack, to the lack of ability to focus, and to even more stress. One who practices breathing exercises, then, will be amazed to find out how much they really work in calming down the mind and the body, in helping one to relax.
Something else that may work for you in eliminating the stress that you might be feeling at work on a daily basis is CBD oil – a lot of people use CBD oil if they want to calm down and to relax during a hectic and demanding day. CBD oil is certainly gaining great popularity in the modern world of today, as it is known to deal with a great many problems, some of which include anxiety and depression. Those who take along some CBD oil with them to the office, then, can apply some of it to themselves whenever they are experiencing hard moments of stress.
Last but not least, those who are experiencing a lot of moments of stress at work can start taking more water in order to eliminate some of the stress. One might know that when his or her body is hydrated properly, everything will start working better, and he or she will be able to focus more on work and to feel less stressed out altogether.
If you are feeling stressed out because of work, then, it is certainly a good idea for you to follow all of these steps, as when you do so, you can be sure to find a way out of your problem.

In a move that won't shock anybody, Facebook is bringing advertising to Messenger. It has begun to test allowing companies using Facebook to send out sponsored messages from their clients. Is this another intrusion from the social network? No, and let us tell you why.
Companies can only send these sponsored messages to users with whom they've communicated before. For example, if you contacted a store to ask about a special deal they were offering, the store would then be able to consider you a potential customer and could send you messages including promotions and offers. Messenger will allow messages to be sent from companies no more frequently than every 24 hours.
For now, Messenger is testing this system with a small group of brands. It hopes to be able to enable a wider implementation across all businesses in the coming months.
Private messaging is the future of marketing
The first tests of these sponsored messages seem to show that rather than users being bothered by them, users are happy to receive them. According to several studies, users are much happier communicating with companies via messaging services than other means of communication.
Messenger isn't the only service looking to get in on the action. WhatsApp, which is owned by Facebook, also recently released WA Business in beta. This will connect users with official business WhatsApp accounts when it gets its full release.

Having chucked in my BeIn Connect subscription in the last few weeks, and as the Winter Season closed, I've been reacquainting myself with a footballing institution. Match Of The Day has been running for 58 years now and, while it has undergone many changes throughout its run – it had become embedded in the footballing culture from the jaunty horn threaded theme tune, through to the time-slot – 22:30 – which allows supporters to get home from the match, or the pub, to catch the day's action over some takeaway before falling asleep on the sofa and awakening midway through the NFL show that follows it.
It's a simple format. The games of the day are presented with commentary, and then key moments of a few selected games are given closer scrutiny – while others are packaged up and given a more cursory discussion. The pundits are ex-professional footballers, who use their knowledge of the game to go over the goals and other key in-game moments. And that's pretty much it. That's all it needs to be.
In the past three seasons we've had variations on the coverage of the National League. In 2015/16, New Zealand Football Weekly covered match highlights but also included short feature player profiles, skill challenges and even some Football Ferns coverage. The following season, New Zealand Football Weekly moved from a studio to a live broadcast following Sunday's feature game (and credit to all those who pulled that off, bloody hell) interspersed with pre-recorded segments. The same again last season, although there's no evidence available on YouTube
The thing is, football coverage has changed and a lot of the pre-recorded segments from 2015/16 that you can see on YouTube are probably better suited to that platform now. Things like a crossbar challenge, skill shorts are made for sharing. Short player profiles that clubs can promote on their social media channels? Ideal video content. Channels like Copa90 and even Major League Soccer are doing a fantastic job of providing highlights and other related content – even Match of The Day are getting into it.
Of course, as always, the question is about cost and benefit. Sky get paid around $250,000 by clubs to film games, present one live, and then create additional content to fill in the gaps. But what if that wasn't Sky's job any more? What if their remit was to provide a clean, simple programme analysing two of the five men's games per week and one of the three women's games. The rest get highlights and commentary, as they do now.
This would also mean getting the National Women's League televised. After the amazing Kate Sheppard Cup final the other Sunday, I think there's an argument to be made in favour of that. Oh, and it'd be handy if the seasons started at the same time too. Would give the women's players a rest as well.
I asked online who'd be the dreamcast for this new show, which can stay as New Zealand Football Weekly. Overwhelmingly, Jason Pine was seen as a natural presenter with Gordon Watson not far behind him. Pundit choices ranged from Sarah Gregorius, last seen out-performing Harry Ngata on Cup final day, through Ivan Vicelich (because he's got to be involved in everything) and even, friend of Enzo Giordani, Martin Devlin. I'd also argue a case for some of the 1982 All Whites (don't boo) for that furious denunciation of modern football that entertains, but also makes you want to throw something at the T.V.
An hour and a half each week, focusing on match highlights and analysis of the ISPS Handa Premiership and the National Women's League matches each weekend – perhaps with one focus game. Say on a Wednesday night, giving time for footage to be cut, edited and reviewed by the pundits – while also bridging the yawning midweek gap between Saturday and Sunday's matches.
This would require something of a re-negotiation between New Zealand Football and Sky Sports, but with the current review process and future appointment of a new CEO, we're approaching the time when things will be up for discussion. It would also require New Zealand Football and the ISPS Handa Premiership clubs to establish some sort of expectation regarding promoting the league via social media and their own content. Given the output of some clubs, that wouldn't be a bad thing either.

Farming the Future for Insights
Posted in Agriculture, History
As I was preparing my keynote presentation for the AgGateway 2011 Annual Conference (which I'll deliver tomorrow in Las Vegas), it occurred to me that 100 years ago (when the population of the United States was roughly 160 million), 50 percent of all Americans were involved with agriculture–meaning 80 million people. Today, there are an estimated 1.5 million farmers.
As astounding as that transition is, what's really strange is that there are an estimated 80 million "virtual" farmers in America and they're playing Farmville. Go figure.

On Sept 28, ISRO launched India's Astrosat observatory into its planned 600 km, 6 degree inclination orbit. The observatory comprises four X-ray telescopes, and two for UV and blue wavelengths. All instruments are co-aligned, and work simultaneously. Canada has a 5% time-share for providing the solar-blind detectors for UVIT – the UltraViolet Imaging Telescopes. The instruments are all operating, and the mission is in a 6-month period of commissioning and automating of operations. Instrument team demonstration-science observations will be released in April 2016, and team observations will continue until proposal-time observing begins in September. A call for the first Canadian proposals will be issued in ~March, and these may request observations from all instruments. CSA are funding an expert to support Canadian proposals and data processing for UVIT.
Astrosat offers a new and unique facility for Canadian research, and its performance appears to be excellent. UVIT in particular offers wide-field imaging in 3 simultaneous wavelength channels, with ~1" resolution, and a suite of filters and gratings. More
information may be found at this site.
The first UVIT observations were made on Dec 1, following a planned interval to allow for full outgassing. The operations efficiency and data handling are being ramped up slowly, as is normal for a complex space observatory, but the spacecraft and instruments are working well, in some cases exceeding specifications.

US President Donald Trump's administration has told Israel that it will present its long-awaited
Middle East peace plan early next year, Israel's UN envoy said Tuesday.
Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon told journalists that the peace plan was "completed" and that the administration had discussed timing with Israel to unveil the proposals.
"As far as we know, they speak with us about beginning of '19, which is coming soon," Danon said. "We don't know the details of the plan but we know that it's completed."
The ambassador said early next year was considered the best timing because it will be several months before expected elections in Israel.
A rollout of the peace plan in early 2019 will allow Trump to "present it without interfering in our political debate in Israel," he said.
Israel will come to the negotiating table to discuss the plan, Danon said, but the Palestinian Authority will try to block it even as the United States tries to bring other key countries such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan on board.
The PA has severed ties with the Trump administration after his December decision to move the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and declare the city Israel's capital.
The US administration has also cut more than $500 million in aid to the PA.
Trump said in September that he planned to unveil the peace plan by the end of the year, and has suggested that the proposals could provide for the creation of a Palestinian state.
Danon said he did not know if the two-state solution was included in the US plan.
Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and lawyer Jason Greenblatt, who have led efforts to draft the plan, traveled to the region several times for talks on the proposals.
Greenblatt said in an October interview with the Times of Israel news site that the plan would "be heavily focused on Israeli security needs" while remaining "fair to the Palestinians".

A judge recently upheld a fine issued to Wal-Mart by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration for failing to put effective safety measures in place during the Thanksgiving weekend sale of 2008, which resulted in an employee being trampled to death. Wal-Mart had been fighting the fine because of concern that OSHA and government could become too involved in dictating how businesses run sales.

Comcast, NBCU Merger Deal, Part 2: Antitrust Regulation Sticking Points
As reported in the previous post, when Comcast announced the $30 billion merger deal with NBCU in December, it said it would readily accept certain conditions for approval by government regulators, but it would not accept "abusive conditions."
Comcast, NBCU Merger Deal: High Costs, High Stakes
Comcast's challenge was not over after it crafted and proposed a $30 billion deal to merge with NBCU; it now faces intense political scrutiny. The potential deal is now six months into an anti-trust review by government regulators. The company has been working hard to appease its critics in Congress and the American public, but each week it seems a new criticism or group speaks out against the deal.

Facebook Users Can Finally Search for Posts
Facebook users can finally search for posts that have been shared with them, following an update that will be rolled out this week to U.S. English users on iPhone and desktop.
Vice president of search Tom Stocky announced the update to Facebook's search functionality in a Newsroom post:
Today we're updating Facebook search to make it easier to find the posts that have been shared with you.
You've given us a lot of feedback on the Graph Search beta. You've told us the most important thing is being able to find posts you've seen before, and now you can. With a quick search, you can get back to a fun video from your graduation, a news article you've been meaning to read or photos from your friend's wedding last summer.
If you want to search using phrases like, "My friends who live in New York," you still can.
Your search results are personalized and unique to you and, as always, you can only see things that have been shared with you.
You've also told us you need better search on your phone, so today's updates were designed for mobile — they'll be available on Facebook for iPhone in addition to desktop.
Search at Facebook is a long-term effort. Today is a step toward helping you tap into the experiences and perspectives of your friends.
These updates will roll out this week in U.S. English on iPhone and desktop. For more information, visit search.fb.com.
Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg spoke during the company's third-quarter earnings call about search becoming a viable business in the next five years, and during its second-quarter earnings call, he said:
As of last month (June 2014), on average, more than 1 billion search queries are made every day on Facebook. This is a great milestone, and it shows that we're in a unique position to answer a lot of questions for people. But this is just a start. And over the next few years, as we make progress on building out search and our broader efforts in artificial intelligence, I expect us to deliver even greater utility for people
Readers: What do you think of the update to Facebook's search functionality?

Leading recycling and waste management firm Biowise confirms its new In-Vessel Composting (IVC) facility, built to treat organic waste for Cheshire East Council, is now up and running.<...
Wise to the challenge14th Dec 2009
As published in the CIWM Journal, December 2009.
A look at the experience of Biowise in bringing a quality compost to market with its Director, Dan Ingram.
Biowise has been successfully composting biodegradable waste at its licensed site in East Yorkshire since 2001. The business has grown organically year-on-year and with the roll-out of the local authority's kerbside collection of garden waste, as well as a 60,000 tonne in-vessel composting facility about to start construction, the company identified a pressing need to establish markets for its quality compost. Its business model is shifting as it places more emphasis on selling end products, and achieving maximum value at the back-end, enabling it to offer more competitive gate fees at the front-end.
A dilemma that many composters face is finding commercial markets for their end product - it can seem a formidable challenge. Developing a clear understanding of the wide and varied applications for compost from which to formulate an effective marketing plan is no small undertaking. Fortunately Biowise boasts an agricultural expert (a farmer to you and me), and an experienced business consultant amongst its directors. It also has a biochemist and an ex-media devotee on the team. Nevertheless, they were still grateful to be awarded WRAP funding for an interim manager tasked with identifying and developing local markets. Mark Baker from Walker Resource Management worked closely with the management team over an eight-month period. He explained: "Opening up new local markets and encouraging farmers and local retailers to use compost from recycled green material is always a worthwhile challenge".
Having undertaken some local market research, the team quickly identified two initial key areas to focus on: the bulk agricultural market and a bagged range of products for distribution in the retail market. Although the two markets presented vastly different requirements in terms of product qualities and promotional efforts, Biowise felt its production and business methods were flexible enough to rise to the challenge.
Surprisingly, it was some of the sheer practicalities of what it was attempting that provided the biggest hurdles. Increased space and storage requirements; more equipment for screening; and bagging and transport that could prove to be reliable day in day out, was essential. The significant investment in time, machinery and resources all presented considerable challenges. Fortunately Biowise achieved BSI PAS 100 and Quality Protocol certification relatively quickly, but there was still a long way to go in terms of identifying the exact recipe for a successful growing media product for the retail market. Trials conducted by Walker Resource Management on their behalf lasted several months but were critical in being able to produce a bagged product that it was absolutely confident would provide the necessary benefits to the gardening public.
Once Biowise started taking its product to market it hit new challenges. The team knew it could provide some extraordinary benefits to local agriculture, if they could just persuade them to listen. Mark Baker recalled: "We needed to be proactive in trying to educate farmers in Hull and East Yorkshire on what true soil amendments are, how to use compost effectively, how to identify what they need and how to ensure they get what they want". As well as the cost and environmental benefits of moving from inorganic fertilisers to organic compost, the improvements in soil quality are significant, in the long-term allowing easier ploughing, better water retention and longer term nutrient supply. Biowise is now providing compost to a number of farmers in the region on a trial basis from which it anticipates very favourable results and increased future demand.
The retail market was always going to be a different ball game. The company identified a clear gap in the market for something different: a quality, peat-free, organic, locally produced compost, pitched at the modern gardener for whom the environment and sustainability is an important issue. Some composters believe that sales of a bagged product to home gardeners will bring the highest return – sadly this is not necessarily always the case. The competition in this market is fierce, meaning that products typically sell at very low profit margins. This is clearly a major problem for small producers. The costs of product development, production, screening, bagging, labour, storage and transport need to be covered and, although the product could be regarded as superior, the retail price is restricted by the intense competition. Furthermore it is often the case that large manufacturers tie up a garden centre by doing a multi-product deal, leaving little space for other lines.
It has been essential for Biowise to fully understand the needs of the varying end users and applications for its compost lines; not only does the actual product need to meet these needs but it is essential to get the message across. There is a great deal of information, published by the likes of WRAP, identifying the niche markets and their preferred characteristics, which has been invaluable to ongoing sales and the marketing effort. Each member of the Biowise team is becoming conversant in the benefits of organic matter, water holding capacity and conductivity; it is an ongoing learning process that will continue as more and more markets are identified.
There is a lot of work to do before compost is established as a mainstream product throughout the country. "Education" is certainly a buzz-word in the Biowise office at the moment; not only does it need to prove something to the agricultural market, but it must also focus on raising awareness amongst retailers and home gardeners. The government is trying to do its bit – a recent publication, "Safeguarding Our Soils" sets out how it plans to work with farmers and land managers to reverse the degradation of the UK's soils, but key issues such as the plight of the peat bogs, sustainability and organic fertilisers are all relatively low in the consumer's consciousness when they purchase compost, and product stigma is still, to some extent, a problem. With that in mind Biowise is planning a series of local training and promotional events to support the launch of its bagged products over the next few months, with the aim of bringing some of these issues to the fore.
In these early days Biowise can only hope that their efforts reap some rewards in the future and not just for its own bottom line, but for the sake of the environment.

Who wouldn't love free Netflix? We show you how to get as many movies as you can handle, all free.
Netflix is available for any TV, no matter how old, and the best part is you can start streaming movies on-demand today – completely free.
Strictly speaking, Netflix is available at three price points: it starts at £5.99 per month for the basic package that includes the ability to stream unlimited films on any device you like, but only one person can watch at a time and there's no HD content; to get Ultra-HD playback and the ability to stream on up to four devices there's the top-end Premium package at £9.99; while the £7.99 package offers a happy middle ground with HD streaming on up to two devices.
For what you get in return even £9.99 per month doesn't sound like an unreasonable outlay, but we much prefer the sound of free.
All customers who subscribe to Netflix get their first month free, and you can cancel at any time so you never need pay a penny.
All you need to supply is your email address, a password, and payment details. And once your free month is up, there is nothing to stop your partner signing up for another free month – just sign up again for another free month. It's a bit naughty, but completely legal.
And once you've tried Netflix, why not try a month's free Amazon Prime Video, or a two-week NowTV Cinema trial for even more free films. It makes sense to try all three before you make an eventual decision on which you decide to stick with (if any).

Before he was playing the skeevy Proxy Snyder on Colony, Peter Jacobson starred as Dr. Chris Taub onHouse. And apparently for one fan, the line between fiction and reality became a bit muddled.
"A guy in an airport came up and started telling me about his wife's problems with her arm," Jacobson recalls. "It became clear that he was truly seeking my medical advice. I needed to let him know that it was just a television show.
"I had no idea [what was wrong with his wife]," he continues. "She probably has lupus. That's all I can tell you."
On the bright side, we can only imagine what would happen if a fan instead thought Jacobson was really was an unrepentant collaborator with humanity's mysterious overlords.
Check out what else Jacobson and his Colony co-stars Amanda Righetti and Tory Kittles reveal in the video above.
Colony airs Thursdays at 10/9 on USA.

If you're a fan of the traditional beef burger, but want to try something else for a change, this is the recipe for you. These tuna burgers have a meaty texture and taste nice and spicy. They're a great and healthy way of getter some fish in you menu. Also, because they're made from canned tuna, they're budget friendly as well.
In winter, I love making stews. They're hearty and warming and require very little work. Sure they need a long time to cook, but I have my hands free to do other stuff while it does that. This stew is my version of goulash. It has lots of red bell pepper and spicy paprika. It's not just hearty and warming, it also happens to be healthy!
This parsnip tart with feta and walnuts tastes very luxurious. In fact, if you want to be really fancy, you can also call it a quiche. While parsnips are often associated with the holiday season, this dish is a great option for any cold winters day.

At Essendon Kids we are as concerned about the environment as you are. That is why we have taken steps within our centre to be enviromentally friendly. In our program we educate children about nature and the environment so they can develop positive habits and attitudes towards being environmentally friendly.
As water supplies are increasingly under pressure through climate change we have planned to help conserve and reduce our water consumption.
Our basement stores 4 x 10,000 litre water tanks. These tanks collect rainwater and will be used in the warmer months for irrigation and in the cooler months flushing waste.
Our windows are double insulated to retain heat during winter and keep cool during summer, in turn help reduce our energy consumption. Each room controls their own heating and cooling.
Our building has energy efficient lighting throughout.
In our art activates we aim to use recycled paper and materials.
We aim to reduce our use of paper by emailing newsletters and fee statements.
Our centre is cleaned with eco-friendly products which is not only good for the environment but also for us.
We are currently looking into green energy and other ways we can reduce our carbon footprint.

The implications of the majority are Brexit on poor terms, with trade deals sucking the bandwidth of Whitehall rather than being able to invest in all the things that actually matter, NHS/ safety and security/ education, and potentially the tearing apart of many things that are foundational without the right scrutiny to stop them - constitutional arrangements, the civil service etc.
If you admire the Hungarian version of democracy, then this new majority might be for you.
But we want our country back.
What has been most galling for our team is watching from the sidelines as the organisations that make up the 'progressive' movement do their level best to tank their own campaign. This anti-Brexit coalition is committed to conveying the optical illusion of doing something but actually doing nothing at all. From the onset, they've lacked both the will and strategic direction to stop the resurgent right.
The lack of integrated working and thoughtful approach to the campaign from the 'Remain Coven' have been a desperately depressing. It seemed that they were to be found wanting, no thought to the realities, no thought to the implications of resources spent and no thought to the impact had. It is quite something to watch a team focus their efforts on marches and the battle for old media to the detriment of all other modern, data driven campaigning. If you ask People's Vote - who acknowledged that the stakes couldn't be higher - if they could have done more, the answer must be a resounding 'yes'. It has felt less about actually doing the work to fight our cause and more about being the person who is credited with fighting the cause.
There's no doubt the political landscape is inherently flawed. Electoral law hasn't been properly updated since 2001 - before Facebook and Twitter even existed. There are zero regulations involving digital ads. In fact, Facebook gave free reign to the spread of disinformation by refusing to regulate flat-out lies.
We are not for the turning. And we aren't put off by a Tory majority. We want our country back and will continue to fight for it. But one thing is absolutely clear. If we're to stop our country's rapid slide into right-wing ideology and neo-fascism, those leading the progressive movement for the past several years need to stand aside and be replaced with those who are at the forefront of modern campaigning. The movement must stop prioritising loyalty over skill or else we're done for. We're ready to lead the charge.

YSR helicopter crash: Pilots' error
The helicopter crash that claimed the lives of the former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister, Dr YS Rajasekhar Reddy, and four others on September 2, 2009, was caused by the error of the pilots, who lost control over the chopper, according to the report of a committee of inquiry.
The report stated that the crew noticed a snag and was engrossed for vital six minutes, before the impact, in searching for the relevant checklist from the flight manual. This distracted their attention from the prevailing poor visibility, thus leading to the loss of situational awareness. The crew flew in instrument flying condition, though the flight plan was cleared for Visual Flight Rules (VFR).
The probable cause is reported as an accident occurred owing to the loss of control, resulting in an uncontrolled descent in the terrain at a very high rate due to entry into severe down draught.

Skin resurfacing is a powerful treatment that helps with many different skin issues. At Royal Beauty Day & Med Spa in Bell, California, Hilda Correa and Susan Arevalo offer skin resurfacing using the Venus Versa™ platform. If you're curious about how skin resurfacing can help you reach your aesthetic goals and improve your anti-aging regimen, book a one-on-one consultation today. You can set up your visit online or by phone.
Skin resurfacing is an aesthetic treatment that removes the outer layers of your skin, prompting your body to create new skin cells that improve the look and feel of your skin. This approach delivers impressive results without the need for anesthesia, invasive procedures, or extensive downtime.
Skin resurfacing, also commonly called laser resurfacing, uses carefully controlled concentrated radiofrequency energy to damage targeted tissue. That triggers your body's natural healing response, stimulating cellular regeneration.
Skin resurfacing is a popular aesthetic treatment because it can address so many skin issues with one approach. Treatments can improve the appearance of:
During your initial consultation, your practitioner reviews your skin concerns and discusses whether skin resurfacing might be an effective part of your treatment plan.
At Royal Beauty Day & Med Spa, skin resurfacing treatments are delivered using the Venus Versa™ system. This patented nanofractional radiofrequency platform distributes energy at variable densities, allowing your practitioner to create a customized treatment experience.
That level of control also enables effective treatments without damaging the surrounding healthy tissue. The system uses SmartScan™ technology to generate a customized treatment pattern using a unique algorithm.
Skin resurfacing may sound like an invasive procedure, but the technology used to support these treatments is incredibly effective at creating results without damaging the surrounding cells.
Heat is generated in the deeper layers of your skin, leaving the surface at a comfortable temperature. A real-time cooling system continuously monitors the temperatures used throughout each session and makes adjustments as needed. You'll also receive a local numbing agent to keep you comfortable during treatment sessions.
A degree of redness and sensitivity is normal in the hours and days after your procedure. Following your practitioner's post-care advice will help reduce discomfort and speed healing.
To learn more about how this innovative treatment can help you look your very best, book an appointment to sit down and discuss more about skin resurfacing. You can set up your visit online, or simply call and speak with a member of the administrative staff.
