Wilson, an activist and blogger for the 5 Gyres Institute, wrote his rebuttal that set Gunther's skewed views back on track. Stiv made a bold statement that encompasses the views of Team Marine, Heal the Bay and other environmental organizations. The institutions of plastic bag bans are not caused by the non-recyclable nature of plastic. There is no debate on whether plastic is recyclable, it's the fact that it is not being recycled. It forces people to take personal responsibility and alter their action. He acknowledges that the bans do not solve the problem. They help to make a difference now that will hopefully promote more change in the future.
This is only one point of many, though. Stiv's argument is easily accessible. He dispels many of the myths that Gunther presented as general eco-knowledge. The ban of the plastic bag and use of sustainable resources does not need to be sugar coated. It is common sense. If anyone has even a shadow of a doubt about the eco-movement against the plastic companies, it is imperative that he or she reads Stiv's article.
"We might not have the money on our side, but we have something that always wins in the end: the truth."

Nokia N8 – timing, price, upgrade, where it will be sold
According to a blog post by Eldar Murtazin, the Nokia N8 timing, price, and other info are apparently as below:
- Price: 420GBP (iPhone 3Gs on play at 599GBP)
- Release: Late September (September 25) – hmm, what about those August 25th rumours? Apparently due to revision of the cost, as told by Nokia PR director back in may
- Asian markets will get free stylus. Russian markets apparently have a free silicone case. Eldar says N8 looks much better without the case. Seriously though, what manufacturer of phones that makes a beautiful aluminium handset puts a coloured casing to hide it huh?
- Further changes into N8 firmware, with DivX being installed (hence why DivX probably wasn't confirmed/denied during launch interviews, only in later posts from NokConv)
- New firmware (to be flashed mid August). Stability improves significantly week on week, but still with some niggles (perhaps right now, not the final sales piece?)
- New browser supposed to be coming Sept, but now Oct (Rafe has always said new browser was coming Oct, no?) N8 first to have new browser – will it be MicroB grade?
- Hardware changes final
Video: Nokia N900 Flash 10.1 with Froyo Android 2.2
Flash 10.1 has been much awaited on the Nokia N900 and here it is – albeit with Android 2.2 and not Maemo 5 yet.
Officially, there isn't support for flash 10.1 yet for N900 but in the next video from October last year by Adobe, you'll see Flash player on Maemo 5 and suggestion of 2010 release. Perhaps when N900 gets MeeGo? 😛
As much as El Jobsio fritters on about Flash, the full web really isn't the full web unless you have flash (at this day and age any way).

Video: Nokia N8 hands-on
Here's a short video showing how fast the Nokia N8 scrolls and go through menus.
It looks pretty smooth to me, but it's still a prototype so maybe the retail version will be faster.

Video: New video sample from the Nokia N8
Here is a video sample taken with the Nokia N8. This is another proof of what Nokia phones are capable of. It was uploaded to show how better the quality is compared to the iphone 4 or htc evo. They are good phones but not good enough.
In other news, fonearena spoke to Nokia India and said that the Nokia N8 will take more than 4 weeks to arrive. According to the Italian Nokia website, the N8 is in pre-order for 469 euro(it's more than what was announced but it will surely change after it's release) and will start shipping by the end of September.
The Nokia N8 takes a while to be released but hey it's better than a buggy N8 that people are gonna complain about.

Nokia C7 leaked again
The Nokia C7 has been leaked again in an what looks like a genuine feature in a Hong Kong IT magazine called "Hi-Tech Weekly" issue 615:
Looks like the Nokia C7 is very close to launch since they are already making ads for it. As you can see it runs Symbian 3 it has a 3.3 inch multitouch display.
Key features:
- Symbian 3 OS
- 3.3 inch multitouch display
- Resolution of 640 x 360
- 3.5mm head jack
- microUSB
- 8 Megapixel autofocus camera with HD video recording
- Wi-Fi and GPS will probably be included
According to Fonearena it already has been handled by people and they say the device is easy to use and quite fast which is nice to hear.
My opinion on this is if this is so close to release which it is considering that they are already making ads for, that means the N8 should be available in August now thats just my speculation.
My personal opinion on this phone is that there are a ton of features that would make most high end smartphones cringe and considering this is a mid range smartphone is should be solid device for the average consumer
What do you think are you looking forward to this phone, let us know in the comments
Thanks to Amanda for the heads up

Gallery: Nokia Store Philippines – Any Nokia Stores near you?
Hello All. Apologies for my lack of posting, I've been travelling and couldn't get my mobile internet to work. Fortunately we've got an incredible group of guys here at MyNokiaBlog.com who have kept things running smoothly (thanks guys!).
Yesterday afternoon, my cousin and I went for a stroll at the nearby mall to find a broadband stick and in the process came across a couple of Nokia Stores. (Ha, uber geek moment) There were many other places selling Nokias, either exclusively or with other phones but these stores might have been official Nokia ones. I haven't seen a proper Nokia store since the flagship one in Regent Street, London. They have (small) one at pretty much every mall in the Philippines.
Prices for the same handsets vary, with as much as 27K PHP (around 400GBP) to 22K PHP (300GBP) for an unlocked N900.
I wish they used the N900 to demo that N900 video below.
Something I found really cool was what appeared to resemble the 1000heads logo.
At the adjacent mall there was another similar Nokia shop (similar design) but with a Nokia Care point right next to it.
Are there any Nokia-only stores near you? What stores do you get to see Nokia handsets on display?
I should be getting a broadband stick later to get some speedier web browsing so I can get some Nokia "news reporting" done. I've got the N900 at the moment which is superbly acting as my modem – but Globe only has a 2G signal where we are (though miraculously and annoyingly becomes 3G as soon as we step off our property :p) Not a antenna issue, it's the same for my cousin's Sony Ericsson phone.
The Nokia people recommended I go with Smart for mobile internet but they were on the floor above and globe was on the same floor, so we just got some 3G mobile goodness from them instead.
I'm quite surprised how well 3G performs in general in the Philippines. Especially as since many people yet do not use mobile internet as avidly here as they do in Britain, so the internet tubes aren't so clogged and the speed with 3.5G is quite respectable (I'll have to get some speed tests done)
I was really happy that skype was working flawlessly over 3G. I set up Skype (downloaded from Ovi Store) on some S60 handsets of my friends and family back home so I could contact them from phone to phone. Much cheaper than paying for international calls, no (not paid a cent so far except for the internet, which is pretty cheap for a short stay thing)
Photos: Two new Nokia N8 sample pictures
One photo on a cloudy day and one photo of the uploader. By the way, these samples are not in full resolution (4000×2248 instead of 4000×3000). This is still a Nokia N8 prototype, so the quality can change until retail version.

TAMPA, Fla. — Derek Jeter pulled up to a line of autograph seekers, rolled down the window of his cobalt blue Mercedes sedan and, after being asked a question, said the two words that thousands of young women would love to hear him say to them.
"I do," he said.
Coming from one of the world's most notable bachelors — especially one who announced the previous day that he wanted to start a family — these two words would be enough to mobilize a thousand gossip columnists and cause jostling to position satellite listening devices.
But Jeter was not responding to a matrimonial query. He was answering a question about whether he felt good about his decision to retire after the 2014 season. He does.
Jeter made the announcement Wednesday afternoon on his Facebook page, but he had little to add after his brief workout at the Yankees' minor league complex on Thursday, even as dozens of reporters, camera operators and photographers closed in around his luxurious car.
Instead, he said he would answer questions at a news conference sometime next week.
"I'll address it all when we get over there on the first day of spring training," he said, gesturing to the Yankees' major league center across North Dale Mabry Highway. "It's easier that way."
He had slightly more to say about the Japanese pitcher Masahiro Tanaka, who threw off the mound for the first time in a Yankee uniform.
Jeter's mood was cordial and light, and he even joked initially that he was kidding about retiring.
But this will be his 20th and final season, and as Jeter said in his Facebook message, he planned to soak in every aspect of it.
That even means signing autographs for those professional collectors who pay homeless people to spend the night on the sidewalk outside the Yankees' minor league complex to ensure they will get his signature the next day, if Jeter signs.
A week ago, Jeter walked over to the autograph seekers and signed instead of doing it from his car, which was said to be a first.
Long-Lived Greatness
Derek Jeter not only has one of the highest batting averages among his peers, but also has shown extraordinary longevity.
Jeter arrived before 9 a.m. and hit in the batting cage. He was gone before 11:30.
Tanaka left even earlier. He threw 25 pitches to catcher Francisco Cervelli, who strolled across the player parking lot to a row of low hedges, behind which a large group of reporters waited. Members of the news media are not allowed in the Yankees' minor league complex and gather on the sidewalk in front before spring training officially opens at George Steinbrenner Field.
About 30 Japanese reporters and photographers were on hand. They were far more interested in Cervelli, the Venezuelan catcher, who may not even make the team, than they were in Jeter. After all, Jeter will not catch any of Tanaka's pitches.
Cervelli said he was impressed at how easily Tanaka's fastball moved, but he also noted that Tanaka was throwing at only about 60 percent effort so far. Then the American reporters wanted to know if Cervelli had spoken to Jeter. What was his mood? What did he say about his decision to retire? Did he mention why he announced it on Facebook? Did he seem happy? Relieved? Melancholic? Delirious?
Alas, Cervelli said he was too busy catching Tanaka to speak to Jeter. But he said he would be sure to ask him soon.
"I've got to call him and ask him what's going on," Cervelli said. "But that's his decision. I said last year I feel blessed to play with Mariano and Andy. And with the Captain, it's an experience I am going to tell my kids and the people that I know, because I think he is the greatest player I have seen in my life."
Cervelli was referring to Mariano Rivera and Andy Pettitte, two longtime Yankees stars who retired last year.
Those two told the Yankees of their decisions well in advance. Jeter chose to call Hal Steinbrenner on Wednesday morning and announce it on Facebook that afternoon. The Yankees were as surprised as anyone by the timing and the method.
The Yankees are still not planning to pursue the free-agent shortstop Stephen Drew, one team official said, even though he would be a good fit.
Drew could play third base in the absence of Alex Rodriguez, and move to shortstop next year. But the Yankees feel they have already reached their limit by spending so much money on Tanaka and other free agents — Jacoby Ellsbury, Brian McCann and Carlos Beltran.
For now, Drew is off the table, and Kelly Johnson will play third while Jeter finishes his career. Getting Drew might be a marriage of convenience. So far, though, only Jeter has said I do.
The Yankees and the Marlins will play two exhibition games at Rod Carew Stadium in Panama on March 15 and 16 to honor the legacy of Mariano Rivera, who is from the nearby fishing village of Puerto Caimito. The games will be the first played by major league teams in Panama since the Yankees and the Dodgers played exhibition games there in 1947.

2 skinless salmon fillets, 130-140g each and 2-2.5cm thick
2 tsp curry powder
Zested or grated zest and
juice of ½ orange (3 tbsp)
Zested or grated zest and juice of ½ lemon
(2 tbsp)
4 tbsp plain yoghurt
4 tbsp sliced mint
½ mild red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 small or ½ large ripe mango
1 tbsp vegetable oil
400g tin chickpeas, well drained and patted dry
100-120g baby spinach
Salt and sugar
1 Preheat oven to 120C.
2 Put the salmon on a baking tray. Season each fillet with salt and ½ tsp of curry powder. Brush the seasonings into the flesh. Bake for 22 minutes.
3 Make the salsa and yoghurt dressing. Get two medium bowls. Divide the citrus zest and juices between them. Add the yoghurt and half of the mint to one bowl. Season to taste with salt.
4 Add the remaining mint to the second bowl. Stir in ½ tsp of sugar, the chilli and olive oil. Cut the top and tail from the mango, then peel it with a speed peeler. Slice the flesh from the wide sides of the mango, cutting as close to the stone as you can. Cut thinner wedges away from the tapered sides of the stone. Then just scrape the remaining flesh from the stone as best you can. Cut the mango into 1.5cm dice. Stir the mango into the dressing. Season to taste with salt and sugar. Put this salsa and the yoghurt dressing on your table.
5 Heat a large saute pan. Add the vegetable oil and get it really hot. Add the chickpeas. Saute for 2 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tsp of curry powder over the chickpeas. Saute for another 1-2 minutes until the chickpeas are toasted and golden. Add the spinach. Stir for 30 seconds until it wilts.
6 Spoon the chickpeas and spinach onto your plates. Put the salmon on top. Add your salsa and yoghurt dressing when you sit down.

Yup, you are seeing correctly. It's a tutorial on "how to draw chibi Cake", step by step. If you are an Adventure Time fan you already know that Cake is Fiona's friend and pet and she is also the gender swapped version of Jake. Even though the two come from one another you would never be able to tell that Jake and Cake are the same. Jake has different eyes and coat color, and Cake is a two toned shade of lighter colors with big pouting eyes. Drawing chibi Cake was so fun, and I just know that you will have fun recreating her too.

At the time of writing my first blog post, the big story has been the hacking/NoW scandal. Spreading from the 'one rogue reporter' line to encompass more than just news-makers, the emergence of yet another story about high-level corruption can make you roll your eyes and worry that we are governed, informed, and patrolled by elite groups that do one thing and say another, whether it be politicians, press or police.
Discussions have centered on cleaning up the relationships between the three; now, we not only want to condemn and punish the illegal hacking of a child's phone, we want 'transparency' in political dealings with the media, we want to see with our own eyes the parliamentary trial of the Murdochs and the schedule diaries of the politicians. Perhaps from this we can aspire to greater objectivity in the press and independence in politics; as Steve Coogan said a while back on Newsnight: 'Who is Rupert Murdoch to tell me who to vote for?'
Can news ever be objective? Can access to information be democratic? Can information itself ever be independent of interested parties; somehow created and consumed by the wider society rather than by eminently corruptible elites? I'm being slightly facetious here (after all 'society' is made up of individuals and interest groups), but recently I've been reading about some utopian ideals, and their practical manifestations, that engage these very same issues.
Salomon's House in Francis Bacon's New Atlantis is an imagined central point where knowledge of the world is brought in by travellers and digested by scholars, a repository for information and learning. Here, reportage must 'not show any natural work or thing, adorned or swelling; but only pure as it is': this is a utopia free from corruption; there is no media bias here, just the disinterested pursuit of knowledge. The 'Office of Publicke Addresse' envisaged by Samuel Hartlib and John Drury in 1647 builds on this idea of the centralisation of knowledge, where the bodily and spiritual needs of society could be met through the granting of access to information. Discussed in their pamphlet 'Considerations tending to the happy Accomplishment of Englands Reformation in Church and State', the idea is based on a freeing up of information, facilitating the sharing of knowledge and services beyond traditional patronage circles. This both embraced the scholarly focus of Salomon's House and was conceived as a having a more practical, economic focus, providing access to employment by matching job-seekers to positions or buyers to traders, again without the patronage circles that relied on nepotism and favour. The democratisation of information thus carries with it power, control and something like the 'transparency' sought after today.
The idea of such an office had already been implemented by the founder of the first weekly newspaper in France, Theophraste Renaudot, whose 'Bureau d'Adresse' opened in 1628. The 'Bureau' was involved in the expanding and sharing of knowledge in weekly scientific conferences open to the general public, though its primary aim lay in social welfare; the poor could be helped through the office giving them access to employment, medical and legal advice, and acting as a pawn shop.
This is more than esoteric knowledge collected in an ivory tower; the emphasis is on the dissemination of information, the liberation of both the construction and consumption of knowledge. In this way, the idea is part library and university, part eBay and part social media. Renaudot's 'Bureau' closed in 1644 and though there were other attempts, successful and less so, at opening such public offices, mainly they seem to have functioned like a kind of 'small ads' paper, facilitated by the printing press, and providing a useful economic service. Perhaps the grander ideas behind them can find incarnation in that other big technological advance: the Internet.
News connects us; we rely on it to build a sense of who we are in the world. These 'offices of intelligence' were attempts to open up the construction and dissemination of knowledge and information, and though I'm certainly not saying we should do away with political and media structure, perhaps through the universal access to information through the internet (at least in this country) we can get a little power back, and hope to hold the elite in society to higher account.

10 Simple Ways to Improve Your Understanding of the Bible
As Christians, reading and understanding the Bible is key to growing in our understanding of God – and important if we want to deepen and grow our relationships with Him. But many of us aren't exactly sure of how to do that.
I get it. I've been there. It's hard knowing where to start. It's hard knowing what something means – or where to go to find out. Add everything else you're doing with all your many roles – a wife, a mom, an employee, a PTO volunteer, chaffeur, family activity coordinator, vacation planner, to name just a few – and it's easier to quit before you even attempt to even try! There's only so much time in a day, right?
But when we apply God's Word to our hearts, we add rich fuel to our souls. And if we want strength and wisdom and direction for our marriages and our kids and everything else we're doing – understanding the Bible can't be optional.
We have to start somewhere. So scan this list and choose one you'll tackle this week, or for a couple of weeks. Got it down? Pick another one. You'll find your understanding of the Bible quickly gaining altitude.
10 Simple Steps to Better Understand the Bible
1. Choose a different translation.
Sometimes we get stuck in habits or preferences that no longer help us or make us better, and our Bible study can experience the same type of limbo. If you find your eyes glaze over every time you try to sit down and read your Bible, a trip to your local Christian bookstore may be part of the solution. The first time I ever successfully read through the Bible in a year, I used the Message translation. While not a literal interpretation but a paraphrase, the contemporary language gave me fresh eyes and helped me be open to what God wanted to show me. I grew deeper that year in my desire to understand God's Word and spend more time reading it, and that excitement carried over in the years that have followed.
2. Read to enjoy before trying to understand.
When you haven't spent much time reading the Bible, it can be difficult to understand certain sections or specific books when you first start. Get in a habit of reading before you attempt any studying. Develop the habit of a regular Bible reading time first, before you try breaking down what a specific word means, or understanding what the Greek or Hebrew root actually refers to. Once reading feels natural to you, asking questions and finding answers will come much easier.
3. Try chunks before chapters.
If you're not really a reader to begin with (less than 1% of Americans are!), telling yourself you need to read 5 chapters a day of the Bible may not work for you. So read in chunks. Pick 10 verses, or 5, or 20. The goal is to start somewhere.
4. Use a journal.
We all vary in ways we like to learn, and for some, writing or copying things down is one way you can better focus and remember something. Find or purchase a little spiral-bound notebook you can use as a scripture journal. Each time you sit down to read your Bible, write down one or two scriptures that make an impression on you. Include what God says to you through those verses and why they're so meaningful.
5. Read by topic.
If reading through the Bible in a year seems overwhelming, than start by reading portions of the Bible on a topic that interests you most. There are many topical reading plans available online, or in books that offer lists of scriptures. Maybe you need scriptures that can apply to your life as a busy mom, or you're dealing with fear and want to know what God's Word says about that. Here are a few to get you started:
6. Start with one specific book.
If reading the entire Bible sounds completely overwhelming and impossible with your schedule, than start with one book. Read the Gospel of John, or Genesis or Exodus, the Psalms or the book of Proverbs (with 31 chapters, you could read one chapter a day in a month).
7. Ask questions. When you read something you aren't sure about, or one question you have leads to another, don't be afraid to ask someone for an answer. I have a dear friend who is a fairly new believer. She often feels intimidated by others in her Sunday school class. She thinks everyone must know more about the Bible than she does, so she's always reluctant to ask a question when she doesn't understand something. But asking questions helps us find the answers. Ask your pastor, ask your Sunday school teacher, ask Google (but be cautious – not every source on the Internet is a good one – contrary to the commercial that says if it's on the Internet, it must be true!) Some good websites to go to for research and references: BibleGateway.com, Bible.org, BibleStudyTools.com, StudyLight.org, and BibleHub.com.
8. Use a devotional. Sometimes it's helpful to start with using a devotional – there are many out there to choose from, with a wide range of topics. Some have one author, some have many. Some focus on specific topics like parenting or marriage; others aren't so specific. A good devotional will focus on specific scripture, and then share a story or thought for the day that helps offer life application in reference to that scripture. Try to avoid devotionals that simply tell stories and try to fit a scripture in just for the sake of fitting a scripture in. When we approach reading God's Word, we want to read it for what it says – not for what we want to try and make it say. My favorite devotional I've repeatedly used over the years, and am using this year is My Utmost for His Highest but there are many worth trying. Ask your friends what they're using.
9. Pray for understanding. Before you begin reading, take a moment and pray for God to help you read what He wants you to learn. Ask Him for eyes to see, ears to hear, and a heart open to receiving His Word for your life. Expect to learn from what you read – and be ready to act on it! If praying to God doesn't come easy for you, or you're not exactly sure what to say, or how to pray, then I hope you'll come back for my next post. We're going to talk about 7 Ways Busy Women Find Time to Pray.
10. Apply scripture to memory.
If you have no time to sit down and read on a regular basis, then make time each day to focus on one scripture verse and put it to memory. Use notecards and keep a scripture verse in your car, or on your bathroom mirror, or on the refrigerator in your kitchen, where you can be reminded. Or do what I do, and use an app. My favorite scripture memory app is Scripture Typer. I've used it while waiting in the doctor's office, or sitting in my car in the car line, waiting to pick up my son. We can find what works for us, when we make Bible learning a priority for our lives.
Has this list been helpful for you? What else would you add? If you know a friend who is struggling to find time to read or better understand the Bible, please share this post with them! And if you haven't signed up to be one of my subscribers, let me invite you to do that now, so you can be sure you won't miss a post.

In this month of November, we celebrate Thanksgiving and all of the things we are thankful for. I am so thankful for the time I had with my mother and that I could take care of her while she suffered from cervical cancer.
My mother was a Catholic school teacher at our local church. She was also very involved in our church community. She volunteered for so many things, and she made my brothers and I volunteer too. Because we were children, at first we did not want to volunteer, but after a while it became natural to us to become involved in our community. My mother showed us that to give our time, and labor to others was an expression of gratitude for our blessings.
I learned some of life's hardest lessons when my mother was diagnosed with cervical cancer. She was first diagnosed when I was in high school. Although she had treatment, the cancer came back aggressively two years later. My great aunt took care of my mother. But when my aunt fell asleep, my mother would call for me to help her. I was young, and it was incredibly painful to take care of my mother and see her suffer. I had to do things that none of my friends could relate to. It was hard for me to understand. Although she let my aunt sleep, when she needed something she woke me up. I developed a lot of inner strength during that time. I relied on the love I had for my mother to carry me through those sleep interrupted nights. I remember one evening when she was in pain we held hands and listened to the song "I feel like going on." We listened to that song so many times that eventually we were both singing it. We both felt encouraged. I felt like I had the strength to take care of her, and she felt like she had the strength to live for her family. Unfortunately, my mother succumbed to cervical cancer and died on March 31, 1996.
My life without my mother has been a tribute to her and what she taught me about helping others. Many times in my life there have been things that are rough, and I push through them. Many times I want to give up. Sometimes I am having a bad day, and someone will need my help and I want to say no. But I think about that day, when I held my mother's hand and sang I feel like going on.
When I learned about Cervivor, and how I could make sure that people knew about cervical cancer, I felt my mother pushing me to be involved again. Before Cervivor, I had so much unresolved grief and unanswered questions about what really happened to my mother. Cervivor help me settle some things within myself, and fulfill the need I have for service to honor my mom.
The men and women who are part of Cervivor are phenomenal. I am so thankful for them and the love they have given me. Cervivor has once again, made me believe that I can go on. I can go on and fight cervical cancer.

Nicole Lapin To Serve As Emcee At Twelfth Annual Michael Lynch Memorial Foundation Dinner
Mar 05, 2014, 11:00 ET
NEW YORK, March 5, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Michael Lynch Memorial Foundation, a scholarship program that to date has raised more than $3.5 million to provide college scholarships to 137 children of firefighters and victims of the September 11 attacks and other fires and disasters, today announced that Nicole Lapin, the noted business anchor and financial expert, will once again serve as the Master of Ceremonies at the Foundation's 12th annual dinner. The event will be held on Monday, March 31, 2014 at Pier 60 at Chelsea Piers in Manhattan.
The Michael Lynch Memorial Foundation began in response to a terrible tragedy – the loss of Michael Lynch, a son, brother, fiancé, uncle and New York City firefighter who sacrificed his own life on September 11 in an effort to save others. Facing the ultimate loss, the Lynch family saw an opportunity to help finance the education of young people as a living tribute to the human spirit and the family's collective resolve to respond to adversity with courage, strength, compassion and hope. The goal of the Foundation is to provide the means to help change the world, one person at a time, by helping the students of today become tomorrow's stewards of peace and freedom.
Lapin is known for being the youngest anchor ever at CNN and then going on to claim the same title at CNBC, where she anchored "Worldwide Exchange" and contributed to "Morning Joe" and "The Today Show." In 2011, she launched her own production company, Nothing But Gold Productions, which produces accessible financial content across multiple platforms. Nicole has also served as an anchor and special correspondent for Bloomberg TV. She regularly appears as a financial expert on CNN, "Entertainment Tonight" and talk shows, including "The Wendy Williams Show." She has authored a personal finance book that will be published in February 2015. Lapin served as Master of Ceremonies at the Foundation's 9th annual dinner in 2011.
"We are fortunate that Nicole has once again graciously agreed to serve as emcee for the upcoming Foundation Dinner," said Jonathan Henes, a Partner at Kirkland & Ellis and member of the Foundation's Board of Directors. "She's an outstanding business and finance anchor, and her continued commitment to the Foundation says so much about her character. With her involvement, along with Dennis Dunne of Milbank Tweed serving as Honorary Chair, this year's annual dinner will be an amazing night in support of this very worthy cause."
Details about the Michael Lynch Memorial Foundation and the Annual Dinner on March 31, 2014 are available online at www.mlynch.org.

Spike Island has a total area of 104 acres which is topped by the 24 acre Fort Mitchel. The areas surrounding the Fort is known as the Glasis, which is French for slope and its steady climb with no cover made it very difficult for attackers. This slope is a man made feature with up to 18 convicts at a time pushing heavy carts of soil to create the slope.
Further out in the island are many houses and even a village with many homes and a church. The residents of the island were here right up until 1985 when the riots of that year forced their removal. Before that as far back as the late 1700's military families would have lived on the island, with the families of prison guards at other times. Some once beautiful homes now dot the island mostly in debilitated states.
The perfect short grass of the Glasis and occasional flattened area betray the fact that the Glasis was once used as a golf course, as officers had the convicts build them a 9 hole golf course on the Forts slopes. And to the South of the Island sits a full size football pitch which was used by the prison guards in the 1980s. Just past the pitch lies the convict cemetery, where up to 1300 bodies lie in unmarked graves, with only a handful of gravestones stating prisoner numbers.
To the west of the island is a beach that was often used by locals for swimming, and the North side facing Cobh has many accommodation blocks and the old boat house.

Speculation recently flared up in June that Aniston was pregnant after paparazzi pictures surfaced from her vacation in the Bahamas with husband Justin Theroux. Reports claimed that Aniston had a "bump" in the pictures, which were taken of her in a bikini. A spokesperson for Aniston issued a statement denying the rumors. "What you see is her having just enjoyed a delicious big lunch and her feeling safe on private property," the rep for Aniston told ET.
"This past month in particular has illuminated for me how much we define a woman's value based on her marital and maternal status," she writes. "The sheer amount of resources being spent right now by press trying to simply uncover whether or not I am pregnant (for the bajillionth time... but who's counting) points to the perpetuation of this notion that women are somehow incomplete, unsuccessful, or unhappy if they're not married with children."
She continued, "We are complete with or without a mate, with or without a child. We get to decide for ourselves what is beautiful when it comes to our bodies. That decision is ours and ours alone. Let's make that decision for ourselves and for the young women in this world who look to us as examples. Let's make that decision consciously, outside of the tabloid noise. We don't need to be married or mothers to be complete. We get to determine our own 'happily ever after' for ourselves."
Aniston said that she "may become a mother someday, and since I'm laying it all out there, if I ever do, I will be the first to let you know." But added that for now, "I resent being made to feel 'less than' because my body is changing and/or I had a burger for lunch and was photographed from a weird angle and therefore deemed one of two things: 'pregnant' or 'fat.' " Not to mention the painful awkwardness that comes with being congratulated by friends, coworkers and strangers alike on one's fictional pregnancy (often a dozen times in a single day)."
The Mother's Day star urged readers to help put a stop to the "objectification and scrutiny" all women go through. "The way I am portrayed by the media is simply a reflection of how we see and portray women in general, measured against some warped standard of beauty," she explained. "We use celebrity 'news' to perpetuate this dehumanizing view of females, focused solely on one's physical appearance, which tabloids turn into a sporting event of speculation."
Aniston wants people to take a stand with what they read: "Maybe some day the tabloids will be forced to see the world through a different, more humanized lens because consumers have just stopped buying the bull---."

Using an anachronistic 4×5 view camera—the kind where the photographer stands draped under a dark cloth—Jenny Sampson has been steadily creating tin-type portraits of skateboarders she encounters at local skate parks, mainly in California, Oregon, and Washington. The resulting portraits are beguilingly fraught with melancholy atmospherics, their distressed tactility an implicit rebuke to the sterile, antiseptic images saturating daily life in a digital age. (Several such tin-types were recently featured in ZYZZYVA No. 111.) Sampson's practice has allowed her to meaningfully engage with the skaters themselves, and obliquely teach them a bit about her antique photographic technique. (Paradoxically, the process requires the skaters to remain absolutely still for at least 30 seconds.) In the following conversation, conducted by phone, and over Gmail, Sampson shares her experience venturing into the skater's semi-private preserves.
ZYZZYVA: So how do the skaters respond to you when you bring this unwieldy antique camera into their midst?
Jenny Sampson: The camera is a 4X5 view camera. It's the kind of camera that sits on a tripod, has the bellows—the part that looks a little like an accordion, and the photographer has to duck under the dark cloth while focusing on the subject.
There usually aren't many of those types of cameras at skate parks! I also set up my portable darkroom, which includes processing trays and tanks that are visible to everyone. All of this can attract attention, actually helping me engage with people.
Sometimes when I'm developing the tintype, kneeling underneath the darkroom cloth, people don't know I'm under there—because I'm small, covered, looking like a little mound. After the tintype is developed, I flip the cloth off and people are surprised because they didn't see me, "Wow! Oh, wow! There she is!"

Foods that contain glucosamine
Glucosamine is the difference between healthy, supple joints and "old bones" syndrome.
This substance is an amino sugar and a type of monosaccharide. It is produced naturally in our bodies and is an amalgam of two substances – glucose and glutamine.
While our bodies manufacture this monosaccharide, the problem is that that production levels decrease as we age. Glucosamine is essential for repairing tissues and cartilage.
It is even thought to ameliorate the effect of joint conditions such as arthritis. Therefore, keeping adequate quantities of glucosamine is important to joint health and care.
The primary source of glucosamine is joint supplements. This is because there are not many foods that contain it. However, for those who are more adventurous with their nutrition, there are a few options available.
Unfortunately, for many who are unaccustomed to some cartilage-rich foods, it may seem like an acquired taste that they are not exactly inclined to acquire anytime soon.
Cartilage-rich foods
The rule-of-thumb is that any food with the cartilage or bones of animals has significant levels of glucosamine. Are these foods common to those in North America and Europe though? Not at all.
However, typical Caribbean and Latin American fare qualifies. This includes dishes like cow heel soup and souse made with animal feet (pig or chicken). To make these more palatable, one need only imagine oneself in the tropics.
As with cartilage, glucosamine is also found in the bone marrow of animals. The main difficulty with this is that not many persons would enjoy chewing bones even. Bone marrow is nutrient-rich as well, so it may be worth a try. Bone marrow sources include the necks of poultry.
Sports drinks may contain traces of glucosamine, but the quantities are so small that it may not be enough to compensate for low productive levels. That's probably because those drinks are designed to boost healthy levels.
Glucosamine produced in sports drinks is likely the man-made form anyway – the ones that are produced from chitin. Since persons do not normally consume seas creatures' exoskeletons, the sources of chitin are not a real option for your diet.
If looking for natural, glucosamine-rich foods, animal sources are the easiest – particularly cartilage-rich foods and those with ample bone marrow. Many persons may balk at the idea of eating some of those animal parts, but if you are really in need of glucosamine it's worth it. For others, supplements would be the way to go.

A proposed regulation to raise advice standards in Nevada for stock brokers and financial advisers is receiving high marks from fiduciary advocates.
Last week, the Nevada Securities Division released the eight-page regulation proposal to implement a law enacted in 2017 that requires brokers to meet a fiduciary duty when working with their clients. The Nevada rule is expansive in defining financial advice as well as the circumstances in which brokers would commit fiduciary breaches.
The state is moving ahead with the measure while the Securities and Exchange Commission continues to work on its advice reform proposal — a three-part package that would continue to regulate investment advisers as fiduciaries while requiring brokers to act in the best interests of their clients.
A comment period on the Nevada proposal will end March 1. After that, the state regulatory could modify the rule. It's unclear when a final regulation will be released.
"The Nevada fiduciary proposal is stronger and more elegant than the SEC proposal," said Benjamin Edwards, an associate law professor at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas. "It does in eight pages what the SEC needed a thousand pages to do less effectively."
The breadth of the Nevada proposal, which also touches on investment advisers, jumped out to Skip Schweiss, managing director of adviser advocacy at TD Ameritrade Institutional.
"This covers the landscape," Mr. Schweiss said. "There's no getting around being a fiduciary if you're providing advice as a broker or an adviser."
Under the Nevada proposal, brokers must provide an ongoing fiduciary duty to clients if they manage the client's assets or create periodic financial plans, among other factors. Outside of those circumstances, the fiduciary requirement can be transaction-by-transaction.
The Nevada proposal assumes a broker who is dually registered as an adviser acts as an adviser for clients throughout the relationship and must always meet the fiduciary standard. The fiduciary requirement would apply to brokers across several kinds of job titles and to those who "hold themselves out" as advisers.
"One of the strengths of the regulation is the broad scope of its coverage," said Barbara Roper, director of investor protection at the Consumer Federation of America. "It does a good job of capturing the whole range of broker-dealer conduct that should be subject to a fiduciary standard."
But the expansiveness of the Nevada proposal is a drawback for Lawrence Stadulis, a partner at Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young.
"The regulations were certainly more extensive than we had anticipated," Mr. Stadulis said. "The most surprising aspect was the number of activities that are deemed a breach of fiduciary duty. There are a lot of kinks in the proposed regulation that need to be worked out."
Ms. Roper also said some improvements are needed. A benefit of the SEC proposal is that it would require mitigation of conflicts of interest, although the SEC hasn't outlined how they should be mitigated. The Nevada proposal doesn't touch on mitigation.
"We'd like to see them do more to ensure that conflicts of interest do not inappropriately influence recommendations," she said.
Brian Graff, chief executive of the American Retirement Association, is concerned that the Nevada proposal does not provide an exemption for advice to retirement plans and plan assets governed by federal retirement law. He argues that retirement plan advisers in the state should only have to answer to the federal government.
"Frankly, [the Nevada regulation] is likely to go to litigation if advice with respect to covered plans is not carved out," Mr. Graff said.
Critics of the proposal also are likely to argue in comment letters that the SEC rule should trump state investment advice regulations.
But Mr. Edwards said Nevada is on solid ground.
"It's well within state authority to regulate conduct and protect its citizens from financial fraud," he said.
Other states have introduced investment advice legislation — and New Jersey is considering its own fiduciary regulation.
"We're not done here," Mr. Graff said in reference to state activity.

The Firm (Alan Clarke) BFI Dual Format Release
Back in the 1970s, football violence in England often consisted of one thousand per side battles between rival fans, either inside the ground or on the way back to the railway station or coach parks.
Bloody confrontations were a weekly occurrence, with police struggling to keep these large groups apart.
As time went by, the police began to tighten their grip on proceedings, becoming wise to when and where these fights would take place. This resulted in the hooligans employing different methods to stay one step ahead of the authorities.
Club colours were discarded; smaller groups set up fights with their rivals miles away from the stadiums and weapons such as stanley knives were used to inflict maximum damage in minimum time.
Made in 1988, Alan Clarke's "The Firm" remains probably the best film on football violence, highlighting that this disreputable profession was not solely populated by the disenfranchised but often organised by men in respectable, well-paid positions.
The film follows the activities of The ICC - Inter City Crew - a London firm modelled on West Ham's fearsome ICF and led by Clive 'Bex' Bissell (Gary Oldman).
Bex - a 30 year old real estate agent - leads his mob with a rod of iron, and has ambitions to ply his trade on the international circuit.
The forthcoming European Championship tournament is firmly in Bex's sights, with a national firm consisting of England's finest in need of a leader. The ICC make their way to a swish hotel where their rivals top boys are waiting to stake their own claims. The Buccaneers - led by Yeti (Phil Davis) - and a Birmingham firm fronted by Oboe (Andrew Wilde) fail to agree on a leader, resulting in two organised '0ffs' where last man standing gets the gig.
The BFI disc contains the original BBC broadcast which was cut to run at 1 hr 7 mins.
The director's cut is also included, running for 1 hr 8 mins 6 secs.
The additional footage, deemed to controversial to be screened, further amplifies the extreme damage to life and limb, with the revenge attack on Oboe being a strong case in point.
One of the film's sharpest observations is the contrasting effects of football violence on the family unit.
Bex's wife Sue (Lesley Manville) constantly tells her husband that his involvement has to end, fearing for his well being, and there's a particularly upsetting scene when Bex's young son picks up a stanley knife that's lying around like a discarded toy.
Even parents have a role to play here, with a proud dad reminiscing about having it with Millwall back in the day.
On the casting side, there are some very strong performances. Lesley Manville as the long-suffering wife who reveals her liking for rough sex at the culmination of a disturbing scene that began as something entirely different, while Davis and Wilde are both excellent as contenders for the crown. Best of all has to be Gary Oldman who turns in a frighteningly intense performance, keeping his troops toeing the party line by adopting a rule-by-fear persona and accepting casualties as a small price to pay en route to the coveted number one spot.
For my money, "The Firm" remains the father of football violence films, and is every bit as savagely realistic as the day it came out. The activities portrayed may be offensive in the extreme to many, but it also captures the undoubted buzz experienced by members of football's very own fight club.
This BFI dual format release includes two commentary tracks. The first features Gary Oldman flying solo: a difficult task, but he acquits himself admirably. He talks about working for the late director; Clarke's methods; John Ward's photography; acting with Lesley Manville (his wife at the time) and throws in some golden anecdotes, including why cast and crew had to receive a police escort when things got a bit hot during filming.
The second track features Lesley Manville, Phil Davis, author Dave Robinson and TV archivist Dick Fiddy.
Lesley talks about Clarke's censorship battles with the BBC; how they shot the scene with the toddler and the knife and why she elected not to inform Clarke before or during the shoot that she was pregnant.
Al Hunter's research for the film is covered - including a meeting with two members of West Ham's ICF - together with much admiration for Clarke who gave his actors room to breathe. Alternative endings for "The Firm" are also discussed.
Next up is "Elephant" (37m 39s)
This controversial short film was screened by BBC2 on 25th January 1989, and turned the spotlight on chilling executions carried out by the IRA.
Almost completely bereft of dialogue, "Elephant" comprises of a series of murders where one, sometimes two hitmen turn up at petrol stations, swimming pools, football fields and houses to kill those who have incurred the wrath of the Irish Republican Army.
Sometimes there is recognition shown by the victims who seem to know the man with the gun, while others stare blankly at the intruder, but the end result is always the same.
Ward's camera lingers on the various death poses, driving home the obscenity of these acts that take place in a world of emptiness where there are no cars, passers-by or shoppers to witness the slaughter.
It's a tough watch to be sure, but it did educate the public over here in England and make them aware of what was happening in Northern Ireland on a daily basis.
Kermode makes some excellent points during the conversation, regarding the settings; the fact that those who got away were not witnesses and declares the murders were un-cinematic.
Open Air Discussion of Elephant BBC1 (21 min)
Screnned on the evening after Elephant's BBC2 airing, Susan Rae presents a phone-in with Alan Clarke taking calls from a largely critical audience. The director was in LA at the time, but close enough to feel the heat from aggrieved callers; some of whom felt his film to be an insult to the people of Northern Ireland.
Clarke defends his work admirably, as does Danny Boyle who appears in the studio for the second half of the programme to take more calls.
Alan Clarke: Out Of His Own Light part 12 (36m 20s)
A fascinating documentary segment, covering "Elephant" and "The Firm", with valuable input from Brian Cox, Stephen Frears, Paul Greengrass, Clarke's daughter Molly, John Ward and other key figures in this story.
Itr's frequently moving to witness the love and respect they had for this much-missed director and a nice way to end one of the finest releases of 2016 thus far.
"The Firm" Blu-ray/DVD combo is available now as a separate release, or as part of the BFI boxset:
"Dissent & Disruption Alan Clarke at the BBC 1969-1989".
Take a look at the contents listed below
lthough probably best remembered for the controversial and groundbreaking dramas Scum, Made in Britain and The Firm, the breadth of Alan Clarke's radical, political, innovative, inspirational work, along with his influence on generations of filmmakers, such as Gus Van Sant, Paul Greengrass, Andrea Arnold, Harmony Korine, Clio Barnard, Shane Meadows, should see him rightly regarded as one of Britain's greatest ever filmmaking talents.
This long-overdue collection finally brings together all twenty-three of the surviving stand-alone BBC TV dramas that Alan Clarke directed between 1969 and 1989, including such neglected classics as To Encourage the Others, Horace, Penda's Fen, Diane, Contact, Christine and Elephant, and also includes Scum and the first ever presentation of Clarke's original Director's Cut of The Firm, assembled from his personal answer print, discovered in 2015.
Among the extensive extras, which include David Leland introductions, extracts from BBC discussion shows Open Air and Tonight and newly-produced documentaries and audio commentaries, this Limited Edition 13-Disc Box Set also includes a bonus DVD of Clarke's Half Hour Story episodes, made for Associated Rediffusion during the late-60s.

Blu-ray Review: Beat Girl (BFI)
Newly weds Paul and Nichole Linden (David Farrar, Noelle Adam) arrive at their Kensington home to encounter a resentful teen still troubled by her parents breakup.
Jennifer (Gillian Hills) is hostile towards her stepmother from the word go, while her relationship with father Paul is a classic case of parental neglect as his City 2000 project holds centre stage: a revolutionary housing plan which fails to understand the people who will dwell there.
Jennifer is part of a rebellious group who congregate in clubs, coffee bars and, at one memorable rave, Chislehurst Caves,and adopt an anti-authority stance which their elders can never understand.
Her friends - who include the coolest of Beatniks Dave (Adam Faith), gorgeous singer Dodo (Shirley-Ann Field) and Peter McEnery's Tony who constantly brings up his military father, "weighed down by medals."
A Soho cafe called 'The Off Beat' is their haven and also marks the spot where Nichole's troubles multiply when she bumps into an old friend named Greta (Delphi Lawrence), known as 'The Duchess' at 'Les Girls' strip club.
Jennifer discovers her stepmother and Greta go back to a life in Paris where "it's not easy to stay respectable on an empty stomach", and decides to build on this knowledge to wreck a marriage.
Witness King grooming his prey, offering her an exciting alternative to her current situation, into a life as one of the 'undead' who enjoy brief riches before losing their position as the next victim rolls up.
Here, there's no glamour, save for a quick honeymoon period, just as the vampire brides promise of immortality is a hollow one.
Rebellion and her juvenile delinquent persona evaporate in the face of true evil.
Jennifer and her crew were survivors: war babies who emerged from the rubble after The Blitz.It was a perilous situation brought home when Dave recalls his first home was a London underground station.
In "Beat Girl", attitudes and memories of these experiences fuelled a swinging generation, and director Edmond T Grenville's direction guides the impressive cast through a moment in time where squares did not fit into their circle.
Hills, Faith, Field, Lee and co all make their mark a memorable one, and watch out for Oliver Reed - Plaid Shirt in the credits - who moves, grooves and smoulders with the best of them as The John Barry Seven kick up a storm, amalgamating Swing and Jazz to great effect.
This BFI Blu-ray presentation was newly remastered in 2K, with a glossy monochrome look beautifully rendered.
The disc includes 3 versions of the film, with the main cut running for 1 Hr 27M 42s.
The alternative version was released to certain countries overseas and runs for 1Hr 32M 9s.
An additional scene with Paul And Nichole on a London-bound train; Jennifer showing a book on jazz to Nichole and a softer version of a striptease make up the extra minutes.
The extended version runs for 1Hr 32M 38s and is basically the same as the alternative cut. According to the booklet accompanying this release, it's a hybrid version, assembled from different elements.
The extras begin with an interview with Gillian Hills, running for 25m 26s.
Gillian - who looks stunning - talks about "Beat Girl" being a Godsend for her, and displays excellent recall as she talks about her director and a cast that contained some extraordinary talent.
It must have been quite an experience to appear in this film at such a tender age, and Gillian's fine performance has lost none of its vitality down the years.
This interview is a valuable account of a film where everything came together, a time Gillian recounts with real warmth.
Next up is "Cross-Roads"; a 1955 supernatural short which runs for 19m 17s.
Christopher Lee headlines as Benson, who is on his way to the London offices of Bernard J Maskell (Ferdy Mayne); an unscrupulous impresario soon to meet his match.
This is a wonderfully engrossing 'quickie', directed by John Fitchen, and boasting one scene in particular that will strike a chord with Hammer buffs, as the camera settles on Lee's eyes which display every ounce of the rage and savagery of a Dracula that was still 3 years away.
"Beauty In Brief" (3m 50s)
A 1955 striptease short, where full-on nudity is avoided as a young woman anticipates her wedding with attire that her intended would surely approve of.
"Goodnight With Sabrina" (3m50s)
Sabrina (Norma Sykes) entertains us from her own apartment, swapping evening gown for bath and bed, before bidding us goodnight.
As Arthur Askey would have said, "I Thank You".
The BFI have also included a 20 page booklet which includes Gillian remembering "Beat Girl"; Vic Pratt's essay on the film; Johnny Trunk's essay on John Barry's score, and Jo Botting's look at Edmond T Greville's work.
It all makes for required reading.

DVD Review: Symptoms (BFI)
A good number of you may be familiar with Jose Larraz via his ex and blood romp "Vampyres", which featured Marianne Morris and Anulka as creatures of the night roaming the countryside in search of their prey.
"Symptoms" is a different story, being largely unseen in the UK during the four plus decades since its release.
Now, the British Film Institute has made this Euro Horror gem available for home viewing after finding the original negatives.
Larraz's film was chosen as the British entry for the Palme d'or for the 1974 Cannes Film Festival, ruffling a few feathers along the way, due to popular support for Ken Russell's "Mahler".
The reception in Cannes was largely positive, but "Symptoms" sank without trace, becoming a sleeping giant waiting to be re-born.
The film is set on an English country estate where Helen Ramsey (Angela Pleasence) has returned following a period of convalescence in Switzerland. Helen invites her friend Anne (Lorna Heilbron) to stay; the latter hoping for a peaceful holiday amidst beautiful surroundings.
Anne's first night is largely undisturbed, save for the sound of laughter which Helen claims not to have heard.
A photograph of a dark haired beauty who Helen identifies as Cora, and the sinister presence of odd job man Brady (Peter Vaughan)combine with a past tragedy and a future where "something is about to happen".
As a fierce storm and driving rain take hold, "Symptoms" becomes ever more disturbing, with apparitions appearing in mirrors and footsteps patrolling the attic, setting nerves on edge in fearful expectation.
As an exercise in psychological terror, "Symptoms" scores highly, charting a descent into madness and beyond to a most disconcerting degree.
There's much to enthuse over here, from both sides of the camera: a trio of fine central performances, with Pleasence and Heilbron playing well off each others chalk-and-cheese characters, while Vaughan recalls the lecherous locals of Peckinpah's "Straw Dogs" with eyes that strip the very souls of his neighbours.
John Scott's eerie score is perfectly in tune with on-screen events, intensifying when the numerous slayings occur, with Herrmann-esque flourishes, while DOP Trevor Wrenn's photography - presided over by Larraz himself - captures haunted woods and gloomy interiors while showing the countryside in all its autumnal glory.
"Symptoms" is fully deserving of the reverential treatment bestowed by this BFI release.
Image quality on my DVD screener will be a revelation to those who discovered the film via beat-up home video incarnations, while newcomers will be pleased by this restoration which delivers deliberately muted colours and strong detail.
The supplementary material begins with the 70s 37s documentary, "On Vampyres and Other Symptoms".
Recorded in 2011, this absorbing documentary looks at the director's formative years - his father told him the best lessons are learnt on the street - his talent for drawing comic books, and his late start in the world of filmmaking, which began after a meeting with Josef von Sternberg.
There's also a lovely scene where Marianne Morris and Anulka take to the stage to present Larraz with an award at a festival screening.
"From Barcelona To Tumbridge Wells: The Films of Jose Larraz".
A 24m 11s episode from the essential 'Eurotika' series.
Here, Larraz talks about his fascination with ancient legends; Thomas Owen's books and some of his own previous work.
Marianne Morris remembers her work in "Vampyres" and her initial reaction to the film, while Brian Smedley-Aston chats about his relationship with Larraz and some of the films they made together.
Some very strong clips from "Vampyres" are included, which should see you reaching for your own copy, or palcing an order.
An Interview with Angela Pleasence (9m 11s)
Angela recalls how she got the lead role in "Symptoms", going on to describe Larraz as a remarkable talent but someone she didn't always agree with.
We hear about an accident which occurred on the set; 19 hour shoots and her opinion on "Symptoms" which she saw just 3 days before doing this interview earlier in 2016.
An Interview with Lorna Heilbron (17m 11s)
Lorna talks about her time at drama school; her memories of Larraz (an intense and also charming man), and how she had to develop an inner stillness for her role.
Peter Cushing, "The Creeping Flesh" and her life after acting also figure in this interview.
An Interview with Brian Smedley-Aston (16m 20s)
Brian's early career in the cutting room; his contribution to Cammell and Roeg's "Performance"; his work with David Greene and his recollection of the 1974 Cannes Festival with its strong line-up round off this fascinating trio of interviews.
There's also an illustrated booklet with this dual format release, which features a beautifully written essay by Vanity Celis who delivers a persuasive overview of this film.
"Symptoms" is available to buy now, and destined to be on many best of 2016 home video lists.

According to a recent study, more than 60% of Millenials get their news from Facebook. It makes sense that the generation raised on technology is comfortable turning to it for their news, but they're not the only ones doing so.
Other major demographic groups, including the Gen Xers and Baby Boomers, are also getting their news via social media in large percentages, with just over 50% and almost 40% respectively.
So what does millions of people using social media as a primary news source mean? In addition to the general public being able to participate in breaking news from both a reporting and learning standpoint, social media sites are also catching on to their role in the news and adjusting their platforms accordingly.
Public participation in the news
With access to news sites and reporters (amateur or professional), as well as a personal platform always at your fingertips, it's easy to get involved with the news.
Social media news-sharing is more than just a way to find and read new stories. It enables users to be a part of the process. For instance, Twitter's microblogging platform can be a place to break news in real-time – with or without knowing it.
Four years ago, a Pakistani man took to the site to talk about the helicopter sounds he heard from his home, not knowing at the time he was also live-tweeting the death of Osama bin Laden. It took a bit longer for journalism sources to fact-check and confirm details before releasing the story, but Twitter users didn't need that level of professionalism, and the news spread throughout the country and the world in 140-character snippets.
Social media is changing how news is gathered too. It can be used to compile evidence to refute or support claims. With billions of time-stamped photos, messages, videos and more, anyone can collect the information they need for a story.
Earlier this year, the group of soldiers who had been in Iraq with news anchor Brian Williams in 2003, used social media to refute false reports he had made about an incident that occurred there – false reports that eventually led to the public revocation of his (until then) unimpeachable journalistic credibility.
New York Times reporter, Ravi Somaiya, writes Williams's fall from grace "began with [the soldiers']Facebook comments, was amplified by Twitter and reached a crescendo as amateur sleuths took to YouTube to fact-check Mr. Williams's reporting." The soldiers didn't have a journalism background, and they didn't need one; all they needed was the evidence and a global platform to spark interest and reveal the truth.
Social media sites are aware of their role in the news
Well-known sites like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter recognize the part they play in delivering the news to and from users and are adjusting their sites accordingly.
Instagram recently released an update that includes a new "current events" section. The picture-sharing app and website understands social media users' desire to be a part of events as they're happening, and Instagram will now give them access to thousands of real-time photos and videos, plus, the ability to reach a worldwide audience with the images they capture.
The update rolls out an "Explore" button that "will show users the most important photos from events and places in their regions across the country," according to New York Times reporter Vindu Goel. With an easy-to-use search bar and personalized compilations of pictures and videos, Instagram users can feel more in touch with the news they're interested in.
For the past several years, Facebook newsfeeds have evolved to show users relevant information. The site algorithms take in to account your likes and dislikes, friends and posts you comment on or hide from view to show you stories it thinks you're most interested in. Now the site is going another step further to deepen its understanding of what users want.
Kathleen Chaykowski at Forbes reported "now, more actions that we take when watching a video, such as turning on sound or playing in full screen or high definition will affect the videos we see."
Twitter offers an easy way of searching current stories with hashtags and trending topics. Its fast reaction time and wide audience contribute to the site's ability to spread news quickly throughout the world. Reporters and the general public can all benefit from Twitter as a news source. Newscasters turn to Twitter to get closer to their audience and find leads for their stories while the social networks rely on these sites for the news.
Social media sites are here to stay. And with over half of its users sharing news on their accounts in 2014, a number that has likely increased today – it's clear it will continue to reshape and revolutionize our media landscape for years to come.

Then we cut the apple open and observed it's insides. Of course we had to wrap the lesson up by tasting it.
Today we focused more on the word "properties". I brought the apple back out and we observed it again. We revisited our observation chart from yesterday. Today we specifically discussed color, texture, mass, size, and shape. We made this chart together. I based the words on the ideas that were generated yesterday.
We had a brief discussion on the meaning of mass. We did not explore this concept in depth today because we will be talking about it more tomorrow. We watched this short video for a demonstration of heavy and light.
We made and painted paper sack apples. After they dried we reviewed the properties of an apple and all that we had learned. Then we labeled our apples with its properties.

"Look not every man on his own things, but ever man also on the things of others" (Philippians 2:4).
Christians are instructed to be involved with one another. In fact that expression "one another" is used repeatedly in the New Testament.
The Christian life is not to be lived in isolation but in godly interaction with others.
In this message we first consider our human response. How do you react when someone has treated you badly, or when you see someone going astray? Do you move away from them or toward them?
Secondly, we look at our biblical guide. What instructions are given to resolve differences or to help someone who is moving in the wrong direction?
And finally we see our divine example. The Lord has set the example for us and we are to follow it.
