Joel Otterson, a sculptor based in Los Angeles with a BFA from Parsons School of Design New York, has participated in the John Michael Kohler Art Center Arts/Industry program for the third time in 2018.
Since the first residency 25 years ago in the pottery, he has been working and creating art pieces with everyday objects found in the house. He has scanned the domestic landscape for elements for his work in copper, pipe, concrete, blown glass, and more.
When he was invited for the third residency program to the Kohler factory in Wisconsin, he had two big ideas that he wanted to realize during the three months. The first was amphoras and the second to marry domestic objects with filigree floral ware from the 1940s and 1950s.
In the beginning he modeled his visions in wax and clay but didn't really achieve the results that Joel Otterson was looking for. Taking a different approach in drawing the designs directly into the sand that is used in the foundry, was a game changer.
Skipping the modeling process opened up a new flexibility and gave rise to art pieces that trigger emotions and are of a delicate, mystical beauty.
The art exhibition 'Dark Matter' that is the summary of his body of work at the factory in 2017 and 2018 represents a new visual landscape of objects of a bigger scale integrating utilitarian objects and interior design pieces bordering on architectural elements.
Joel Otterson wanted to make vessels that were inspired by amphoras that he had seen in art museums around the world. However, he envisioned the containers not in clay but cast iron. To achieve this, the technicians in the pottery and the foundry were of tremendous help. Their technical knowledge and skill enabled the artists to produce arresting pieces.
When he first attended the residency many years ago, he said that a dream had come true as his father was a plumber and Joel had worked with plumbing pipes and fittings in his work. Being at the factory opened a new world of possibilities to his creative process. Returning to Wisconsin after so many years, made Joel realize just how inspiring the environment of the factory is.
The 168 acres area where anything that goes in the bathroom or kitchen is produced instills the feelings of 'thinking bigger' in artists and makes them more ambitious in their work. Suddenly, they can see a different scale. Their work expands and grows exponentially with the help of the available personnel and machines.
Joel's exhibition speaks to this new dimension and approach through the inherent beauty. Visitors are left with a lasting experience that will linger far into 2019.

17th Independent Battery
THE ORLEANS BATTERY.—In obedience to orders this Battery has been removed to Fairfax Court House, and has joined the Division of Gen. King. The probability is that they will see active service before long. Capt, ANTHONY, who has been confined to his bed for some time by a severe attack of Dysentery, was unable to march with the Battery, but we are pleased to learn that his health is improving, and that he expects to rejoin his command is a few days. Lt. H. E. Sickles is in command.
IN BALTIMORE.—The 17th battery is now supposed to be in Baltimore. It
went to the front about ten days since, and was assigned to the 18th corps,
which has since been sent to that city.

Had a great conversation with Rachel Laser and Barbara Weinstein of the Religious Action Center RAC. We talked about what the RAC is, what it does, about a number of issues of concern to the progressive community and about the upcoming URJ Biennial in December.
Rachel Laser is the RAC's Deputy Director. Ms. Laser has a diverse background in policy advocacy, coalition-building, message development and political strategy. She served as Senior Vice President at Hattaway Communications and as Director of the Culture Program at Third Way, a Washington, DC progressive think tank specializing in understanding and reaching moderates.
Barbara Weinstein is the Religious Action Center's Associate Director. She directs legislative policy and oversees the RAC's Eisendrath Legislative Assistant program - a one year fellowship for recent college graduates focusing on Jewish values and social justice. Barbara is also the Director of the Commission on Social Action of Reform Judaism, a joint body of the Central Conference of American Rabbis and the Union for Reform Judaism and its affiliates that seeks to apply the insights of Jewish tradition to domestic and foreign issues including human rights, world peace, civil liberties, religious freedom, famine, poverty, as well as other major societal concerns.

Henna tattoos are wearable art. The paste, made of crushed leaves and twigs, is applied to your skin in intricate designs to stain the outer layer of your cells. As your skin naturally sloughs, so does the tattoo, which will generally last seven to 14 days. (Some darker tattoos can last as long as three weeks.) People lose skin layers at different rates, so there's no guarantee as to how long you can keep it fresh. But a little care can help you extend the life of your henna tattoo.
Apply for Long Periods
If you are doing your own tattoo, leave the dye on your skin for the longest possible time for the deepest, most saturated color. Warmth makes the dye more potent, so gently heating the paste before it's applied or choosing the warmest parts of your body, such as your palms, for tattoos is recommended.
Some tattoo artists suggest leaving the henna dye on overnight before rinsing or flaking off the paste. Henna paste dries rather quickly -- in just five or 10 minutes -- so you can leave it on and even sleep in your own bed as the dried paste flakes off. It will not stain your sheets. You can then scrape or lightly rinse off the remaining paste in the morning to reveal your design.
If you're in a time crunch, henna will color your skin in as little as four hours, though the results will be on the lighter side. They will also slough off much more quickly than dark tattoos.
Mix Henna Properly
If you're mixing henna yourself, thin the powder with lemon juice. The acid in the juice helps release the pigment and give it greater staying power. Add a little granulated sugar to the henna mixture, too, in ratio of 1 part sugar to about 5 parts henna paste. The sugar keeps the paste from drying as quickly when applied, so the dye saturates your skin for longer. This helps the tattoo develop a deeper, longer-lasting color. It also optimizes the henna's texture for application.
Once you're tattooed, wrap the area with plastic wrap -- carefully so you don't smudge the design -- and then in warm towels. The heat keeps the dye seeping into your skin a little longer, resulting in a darker color that may last longer.
Wash Less Often
Of course follow personal hygiene, but the less often you wash the area to which the henna has been applied, the longer the tattoo will last. Avoid using exfoliators and rough scrubs, which take off the layers of skin that hold the henna coloring.
Before getting a henna tattoo, you may also want to avoid shaving and exfoliating; these leave your skin without enough layers to fully absorb the stain. Avoid any body work -- even massage or waxing -- a day or two before the tattoo.
Water contact, even without exfoliation, degrades your henna tattoo. So, for at least 24 hours after getting the tattoo, avoid household chores that require getting your hands wet, and stay away from chlorinated pool water.

Dexter Krispin arrived in the small Kansas town of Schicksal with one thing on his mind: finishing his doctorial thesis. He hoped getting away from his hectic life in Pittsburgh would allow him to concentrate on the long overdue paper and to forget about his last lover.
Life-long Schicksal resident, Noah Stoffel, has managed to keep his sexuality a secret. Yet, after one look at the dark-haired newcomer, he knows his life in the sleepy town will never be the same.
But more than Noah's desire for privacy stands between him and Dexter. For years, the residents of Schicksal have been hiding a horrific secret, one that takes Dexter mere days to uncover and expose…a secret that could destroy-or heal-them all.
Note for Readers: You must be over eighteen to read this excerpt.
Noah Stoffel balanced the case of motor oil on his knee as he opened the door. "I'll see you later in the week, Mr. Moody."
"Sure thing," George Moody called out from the back of the hardware store.
Noah lifted the box over the rusted side of the white pickup and turned toward Ruby's Diner. He walked across the street without even bothering to check for cars. In a town the size of Schicksal, Kansas, a person could probably take a nap in the center of Main Street and not be bothered for hours.
He knew living in a town with a population of two-hundred thirty-one would bother most folks, but Noah loved his little corner of the world. He stopped in front of Ruby's and wiped his feet on the bright floral welcome mat before walking inside.
"Afternoon, Miss Ruby," he hollered.
Noah was surprised to see a stranger in one of the five booths. He continued to the front counter and sat on one of the red, cracked vinyl stools. When he was a boy, his father used to bring him to Ruby's for an ice cream soda every Saturday night after a week full of chores.
Ruby strolled out of the kitchen, the ever-present yellow number two lead pencil stuck in her beehive hairdo, with a plate of that day's special in one hand and a big glass of sweet tea in the other.
"Be with you in a second, sugar," Ruby greeted.
Noah hated to seem nosey, but he couldn't help himself. It was rare to see a stranger in town, especially one about his own age and as good-looking as any of those guys on TV. He studied the man out of the corner of his eye as he pretended to look out the front window.
Ruby talked to the man for several seconds before she turned back to Noah. "What can I do for you today?"
"Thought I'd take Momma home one of those banana cream pies she likes so much. She hasn't been eatin' like she should, so I'm hoping to entice her," he said with a grin.
"She's still poorly?" Ruby asked as she took a pie out of the glass-fronted refrigerator beside the cash register.
"Yeah." Noah hated the idea of his mother getting older.
After his father passed away, almost six years ago, his mom was the only family he had left. She used to do fine helping Noah work their small farm, but her health took a turn going on four years ago, which left most of the work to him. Not that he minded. Noah enjoyed working in the garden and making sure the cows got fed, but he often wondered if the old farm was just too much for them nowadays.
He'd broached the subject of selling the farm one night and had been met with absolute silence. Noah hadn't mentioned it again, but that didn't mean he didn't think about it.
Ruby set the boxed pie in front of him.
"How much do I owe you?" Noah asked as he dug out the wallet he'd made in Boy Scouts years earlier.
"No charge if ya bring me some of those pecans I know you've got laying around at your grove."
Noah knew Ruby was just being nice. Most of the town knew the Stoffel farm wasn't what it used to be. Most months he'd been forced to do odd-jobs for people just to make ends meet.
In the past, his momma had made quite a nice bit of side money picking up pecans from their small grove and shelling them for folks in town. Now with her back hurting the way it was, she could barely get out of bed most days.
"I've got to harvest some corn in the next couple of days, but I could sure bring you some in on Thursday, if that'd be soon enough?"
"Thursday sounds just fine," Ruby answered.
Noah lifted the box into his arms. He leaned over the counter and whispered to Ruby, "Who's the new guy?"
"Oh, you two haven't met? Well it's about time we fixed that, wouldn't ya say?"
Ruby grabbed Noah's hand and dragged him over toward the table. "Dexter Krispin, I'd like you to meet Noah Stoffel. Dex is Mayor Edwards' nephew from Pittsburgh. He's here visiting for a few weeks."
Noah set the pie back on the counter and walked over to shake Dex's hand. "Pittsburg? Kansas?"
"No. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania."
"Oh. Can't say's I've ever been that far east. I went to St. Louis when I was a senior in high school for the regional science fair, but I think that's about as far away from home as I've been. Well, not counting college. I was enrolled at Iowa State, but I only got to attend classes for a couple months before I was needed back here at home."
Noah realized he was still shaking Dex's hand and grudgingly pulled away. He wondered if Dex or Ruby had noticed the way the front of his jeans had begun to fill out. Being homosexual in the town the size of his wasn't really an option.
He assumed townsfolk chalked his lack of dating up to the fact there were few single women in the area, and most of them were more interested in barrel racing or getting the hell out of town than hooking up.
"It was nice to meet you," Dex said, once again taking his seat.
"You, too," Noah agreed as he went back and picked up his pie. He was sure his face was flushed. Despite his being in the sun on a daily basis, Noah's German heritage didn't really allow for a tan of any kind. He usually burned and pealed several times during the summer, only to be left with the same pale skin and blond hair he'd started with.
His gaze perused Dex once more. Dex didn't seem to have tanning issues. The man looked nothing like Cora Edwards. With his dark brown hair and eyes, Dex didn't look at all like the porcelain-skinned, silver-haired mayor. And Noah was positive Cora didn't have those fantastic dimples in her cheeks. Noah's tongue tingled at the thought of swirling it around inside those cute depressions.
"I'd better get this home," Noah said.
"Okay, sugar, drive safe," Ruby called out.
Dex turned back to his dinner and Noah almost stumbled over a chair as he watched the gorgeous man lick the fried chicken drippings from his fingers. He prayed he'd be able to get the pie and himself home safely.
Dex leaned against the floatation device. His left hand clutched a half-full beer can even though it rested easily inside the coaster. His right arm dangled in the lukewarm water of his aunt's swimming pool.
September was hardly a good month for swimming, but southwestern Kansas often enjoyed warmer than normal temperatures during the daylight hours. Besides, he told himself, if he didn't have a place to relax and cool off other than the shower, he'd be ratcheting Cora's water bill through the roof.
"So, did ya meet 'em?" Cora demanded.
He glanced from beneath his sunglasses to toss her a stern glare. "I told you not to ask."
Impatient as ever, she took another sip of her martini, set the glass on the bistro table, and slammed both palms against the teak wood. "Damnit, Dex, don't play games with me."
"I met 'em," he responded quietly, mimicking her Midwestern slang. "I saw a lot of people today. I went to City Hall, if you can call that cracker box a building, and I met your police chief, who told me to give the Honorable Mayor his best, so consider it done."
"And?" she persisted.
"I met your receptionist, the butcher, the baker, and the candlestick maker. I went to the diner and met Ruby and Cookie, had a bite to eat, and I saw a nice young man who came in for pie to take to his parents." He watched as his aunt lifted her brows inquiringly.
Resisting a smile, Dex continued. "Later, I walked down the street—you only have four or five, so maybe I should be more specific. I went to the post office, and the convenience store. If you want to know more, ask Ruby—she seems to know everybody's business."
Cora huffed. "You don't have to be nasty about it. I was only askin'."
"And I'm only tellin' —don't ask. You invited me to do the job, and I'll do it, but it has to be my way, with no interference and no questions!"
"Smart ass." She drained her glass and went back inside for more alcohol, he supposed.
As she retreated, the grin he'd held back exploded. His father's oldest sister was a character. Twice married, twice widowed, with more time, land, and money on her hands than any woman had a right to possess. She was also a sweet old darling with a heart of gold and an inquisitive nature that could outshine it.
"She's lonely," his dad had told him before he left Pittsburgh for the small community near both the Oklahoma and Colorado borders. "But she means well. See what you can do for her to ease her mind." Then his dad had chuckled. "Look at it this way, son, by the time you get home, you'll have more than enough for your doctoral thesis."
Dex had agreed. He wasn't used to the lack of cultural activities and fast food, but the diner had so far offered decent coffee, and he could grudgingly admit he had been enjoying the back-to-nature, laid back ambiance of Schicksal. The hamlet had been settled by Germans in the late eighteen-hundreds and lay only a few miles from Kismet, Kansas. Kismet's population of less than five-hundred made Schicksal seem like barely a blip on the western plains' radar.
He would never have imagined such a tiny place could house so many dysfunctional people. They had a kleptomaniac, a compulsive liar or two, an in-your-face lesbian at the post office, and a skirt-chasing plumber. Cora's opponent for the mayor's seat had to be the least desirable of the lot, a gambler who spent more time at the crap tables in northwestern Oklahoma than he did running his ranch. Dex had promised to work on his doctoral thesis, but he'd be damned if he'd be held accountable until the job was done.
Cora reappeared, a fresh drink already passing her lips. She coughed none-too-gently when Dex didn't look up. "I'm sorry."
"Apology accepted." He knew, however, that more was coming.
"I'm just concerned, you understand?" Her voice held a pleading tone.
"I know, and you've a right to be concerned, but at the same time…"
"I know!" She held up her hands, sloshing her drink.
Dex thought a moment, took a last swig of beer, and slid from the raft into the pool. He dove under and then resurfaced. "Aunt Cora, I love you. There's nothing wrong with wanting to help someone. No—you aren't some evil bitch for interfering, and no, you weren't wrong to invite me—I needed the break, needed to get out of the city, needed to be somewhere I couldn't be found. I'm glad I'm here."
She seemed satisfied, but she tightened her lips momentarily. "I just wish there was more I could do to help."
Dex shrugged. "Cora, these things take time. People get well when they're ready."
"Not if they don't even know they've got a problem."
"Sure," he agreed. "But we're not doctors and we're not mirrors. The little creep who has been stalking me will eventually get tired and move on to someone else. Will you trust me on this?" He knew she was impatient.
"Don't have much of a choice, do I?" She walked closer to the pool and knelt. "You say you went to City Hall? Was David there?"
Dex thought back to Cora's nemesis. "He was."
"What did he want?" she demanded.
"He wondered where you were and what you were doing. I told him you had a hair appointment in Liberal."
"Good. Nosy bastard. And who did you meet at the diner?"
"I met Ruby, Cookie, some farmer named Joe, and a young man named Noah Stoffel. Satisfied?"
Cora nodded slowly. "Okay. Not bad for your first day on the job. Look, I don't care what you do to David, but if you have romantic designs on Noah, I'm here to tell you—leave that kid alone." Deep lines creased her face when she frowned. "Shit, I forgot how young he is, only a few years your junior."
"He's hardly a boy, Aunt Cora." Dex chuckled.
"No, but he's a lot like you, and I like him. You're only going to be here a couple of weeks, and Noah is a fixture in this community, like family to everyone here. He's a vital part of this town, and I don't want you to go breaking his heart. Hurt him and I'll cut off your nuts and mail them back to your father COD. If you want to get laid—and I suspect you will—go into Dodge or Liberal."
"Cora!" Dex didn't know whether to take her words as funny or hurtful. He swam toward the side of the pool and propped himself on his arms.
She rose and snapped her fingers. "I just thought of something you can do for me while you're here. Check out Old Man Weathers. He's the asshole who owns all that land up north and won't let anyone else's cattle graze on it. Several have offered to pay the old fart, but he keeps turning them away. I want to know why." She stared down the length of her bony nose at him. "I'll pay you."
"I don't think so."
"It's my money."
"You sure you're not trying to keep me here longer?" he teased.
Cora cracked a smile. "Maybe. Shame when an old lady feels she has to offer incentives to her family to get visits from them, isn't it?"
Dex was about to argue with her, reminding her that the highway into western Kansas went both ways, but she waved and left.
A chill breeze swept over the pool, hardening his nipples. He slipped back into the water, rubbing his chest and allowing his hands to travel further south to comfort his balls and cock with an image of Noah in mind. Cora had been right, Noah was exactly his type, and from the covert looks the guy had been giving him, Dex suspected he was Noah's type as well.

Skip to 0 minutes and 11 seconds Hello! My name is Bernhard Pfahringer. I'm with the Computer Science Department here at the University of Waikato, the home of Weka and MOA. Today, I'm going to tell you a little bit more about MOA. Specifically, we're going to talk about change. Change is everywhere in data streams. It's the distinguishing feature of data stream mining. To think about it like you want to predict electricity consumption, there is a big peak in the morning and there's another peak in the late evening. There's some level of consumption during the day, and there might be a much lower level of consumption during nighttime. There's different levels in summer to winter and so on and so forth.
Skip to 0 minutes and 45 seconds If we look at Tweet streams, for instance, right now the Zika virus is trending. A couple of months ago, at least in New Zealand, it was Rugby World Cup. Again, we see change happening all the time. New topics are coming in, becoming more interested, peak, and then they slowly die away, making place for new, other, topics. How do we deal with change? Some algorithms can just basically, because of the way they work, implicitly adapt to change, but a better way is to do it explicitly. We need a change detector. There are a couple of algorithms that have been described in the literature for that purpose, one of them is ADWIN, which is short for Adaptive Windowing.
Skip to 1 minute and 31 seconds It's used in a number of algorithms inside MOA. It keeps an adaptive sliding window, which tries to estimate the mean of a numeric variable that you're monitoring. Whenever things are stable, the window grows, but once there seems to be some change, we cut the window into two parts, the old part and the new part. The old part is being discarded. The new part, hopefully, gives us the new, correct mean. Now, this is not just a heuristic algorithm. It comes with guarantees, theoretical guarantees, on the rates of false positives and the rates of false negatives and on the size related to the rate of change.
Skip to 2 minutes and 14 seconds I don't have to worry about the size and it being too big because the way it's stored internally it uses an exponential compression scheme, so that's fine, as well. Now, ADWIN is being used in a number of algorithms, as I said. One of them is the Hoeffding Adaptive Tree, which, as the name implies, is a variant of the Hoeffding Tree that Albert has explained to you previously. Now, in the Hoeffding Adaptive Tree, you do not just grow the tree on the most promising tests, you also look at the second best ones. So you grow alternative branches, as well, and you monitor the performance of those alternatives over time using ADWIN.
Skip to 2 minutes and 58 seconds Whenever ADWIN detects that these alternative sections now have become better or are out-performing the official main structure, you replace the main with the alternative. Of course, at the same time, you start growing new alternatives, as well, to be prepared for further change in the future. OK, so the Hoeffding Adaptive Tree was a single classifier. Of course, we all know that, when it comes to utmost predictive accuracy, you want to have ensembles. A very simple ensemble method is bagging. Now, bagging is easily made into an online algorithm, because, just think about it. If you bag, say, an incremental algorithm like the Hoeffding Tree, you have an incremental ensemble immediately. No problem there.
Skip to 3 minutes and 40 seconds Of course, there's a little issue, and that is the way bagging distributes examples across the different classifiers. In the batch-learning version, you do bootstrap sampling with replacement. Classifier 1 in our simple example here – which has a dataset which comprises only four examples, A, B, C, and D – might see a sample that is B, A, C, B. Classifier 2 might get D, B, A, D. Classifier 4, a very extreme one, might actually get three copies of B and maybe only one C and never see A or D. How do we solve this issue with getting a procedure that's basically batch oriented, like bootstrap sampling, and turn it into something incremental? Well, there're two simple steps to look at here.
Skip to 4 minutes and 29 seconds First of all, we can actually look at our sub-samples by sorting them. Thus, we restore the original order of the data. A, B, C, D was the original order. Classifier 1 would see A, B, B, C. Classifier 2 would see A, B, D, D. The extreme one would see B, B, B, and C. The next step is to actually look at that as every classifier sees all the examples in order – A, B, C, and D – but with a weight attached. For the first classifier, the weight would be 1 for A, 2 for B, 1 for C, and 0 for D. The extreme classifier would have 0 for A, 3 for B, 1 for C, 0 for D.
Skip to 5 minutes and 17 seconds Now, that looks promising. In 2001, there was a very interesting paper called "Online Bagging and Boosting" authored by Oza and Russell, where they had this following genius insight. Their insight was that we can actually approximate the binomial distribution with a Poisson distribution where the mean is set to 1. That gives you roughly the same behavior that the binomial distribution in the batch-based bagging has. Roughly about 37% of the time you get a 0 weight. 37% of the time you get a weight of 1. 18% of the time you get a weight of 2, and higher weights are more and more unlikely, but still possible.
Skip to 6 minutes and 7 seconds Now, using that in online bagging makes it very easy to, whenever an example comes in, you just draw the weight from the Poisson distribution for the first classifier, another weight for the second classifier, and so for all the classifiers. Now, we have a fully incremental setup. In MOA, we have an algorithm called ADWIN Bagging that couples that with ADWIN, as well, for explicit change detection again. We use Poisson with a mean of 1 to weight every example differently for every classifier, but we also detect when things deteriorate. We do that by monitoring the overall performance of the ensemble and whenever things fall below a threshold, we identify – the worst classifier is being removed and replaced by a new one.
Skip to 6 minutes and 58 seconds Now, in a number of experiments, what we also found is that we can improve on that by playing around with the parameters. For the Poisson distribution, if we use a mean that is larger than 1, like 2 or maybe even up to 6, what we find is that across a large range of benchmark datasets in stream mining, we get better results. We've called it leveraging bagging. Again, it's coupled with ADWIN for explicit change detection. When things get bad, you remove the worst classifier and replace it by a new one. In summary, when looking at change in classifiers and explicit change detection.
Skip to 7 minutes and 32 seconds Hoeffding Adaptive Tree is a single classifier, and two variants of bagging, ADWIN bagging and leveraging bagging, as an example of ensembles that deal explicitly with change. I invite you to do your own experiments with MOA classifiers and change detection. For that purpose in MOA, you will find that data stream generators also come with a component that also simulates change over time. For instance, in the RandomRBF generator, you get drift by basically having the centers of the kernels move around in space.
MOA classifiers and streams
Change is everywhere! – and is a distinguishing feature of data stream mining. Bernhard Pfahringer explains that one way of dealing with change is to use an adaptive windowing method called ADWIN that grows a sliding window on the data stream in times of stability and shrinks it in times of change. The Hoeffding Adaptive Tree grows alternative branches and monitors their performance using ADWIN. Bagging, which involves bootstrap sampling with replacement, can be turned into an online algorithm using a weighting technique, and coupled with ADWIN for explicit change detection. MOA's data stream generators can simulate change over time, allowing these mining algorithms to be tested and compared.

Benefits of Visiting Movie Reviewing Websites
There are very many things you can decide to do in your free time to keep yourself busy and also enjoy after a long day of hard work. People have different preferences, but one of the best things you can decide to do is such moments to help you relax your muscles, your mind and also rethink is watching a movie. Watching a movie as very many benefits compared to other activities that can decide to undertake during your free time. For example, watching a movie is not only a very enjoyable experience but also a learning experience. This is because in most of the movies there is always something to learn or a topic that is being narrated in the entire movie. Whether it is an action, thriller, a crime, a committee movie and so on, you'll find that there is a lot you can learn from the entire movie. It is also a very beneficial option because it helps you to brainstorm but at the same time, you can laugh a lot because most of the movies will never lack some humor. Therefore, it is a good thing to watch a movie because at the same time you will be seated and relaxed, even as you follow up what is willing on in the movie. However, the problem comes in when it comes to choosing the best movie that you can watch for specific times. It is possible that you have references but still, there is a lot of options that you can go for when it comes to movies whether you want action, thriller, crime and so on. One of the best ways of knowing about the movies that you can go for is by visiting the best movie reviewing websites. Here are some of the advantages of visiting the best reviewing websites.
One of the things to realize about movie reviews from this website is that the discussed in depth watch the movie involves. That is good because if you want an overview of the movies before you can choose to watch them, then you are already aware of what you are getting yourself into. This is something that you might not know unless you watch the entire movie and therefore it is good that you can read movie reviews before you can while at work. Surrounding the movie reviews is a good thing because you are able to learn about the actors and actresses that are casting the movie. This is important because also the casting crew is always helping you to know if the movie is good enough or you need to avoid for the time being. The movie reviewing websites, however, will go into telling the actors and actresses in the movie especially if you have a specific crew that you would want to watch the movie. Also reading the reviews is a good way of saving time because everything you might need to know about the movies that have come out recently, the best and so on will always find them discussed in these websites.

A film about young Hillary Rodham Clinton will focus on her days as a 26-year-old Washington lawyer, a recent Yale grad devoted to defending the rights of children. The biopic, tentatively titled "Rodham," is due to hit theaters close to the 2016 presidential election, in which the former first lady and secretary of state is expected to run.
But who will play the activist-laywer on in the big screen? The Independent published a few names on Sunday, setting the whole Internet abuzz. They included voluptuous "Black Widow" Scarlett Johansson, disorderly conduct arrestee (but usually totally adorable) Reese Witherspoon, upper-register singer in Les Mis-cum-porno superstar in "Lovelace" Amanda Seyfried and "Zero Dark Thirty" superstar super spy Jessica Chastain.
With all these sexy contenders, will there be (gasp!) sex scenes? Perhaps.
Producers reportedly plucked the film idea from an unfinished script library called the "Black List," which collects the most promising unfinished Hollywood screenplays. The screenplay, penned by South Korean screenwriter Young il-Kim, drew attention for some racy scenes, per The Daily Beast. But a later interview with the man behind the script suggests otherwise.
"I didn't write 50 Shades of Rodham, as some news outlets are suggesting," Kim told The Daily Telegraph. "I am a boring prude with little imagination."
That doesn't mean the silver screen version of young Rodham won't slip a little skin.
"It's an evolving process so I don't know," Kim tells the Telegraph. "She was an attractive 26-year-old with an amazing future. And that's our thematic focus."

Rate this game:
The Orient often serves as an inspiration for a video slot title, and Fa Fa Twins is one of such titles. The influence of the Far East is more than evident, starting from the design of the symbols, up to the whole look and feel, though the soundtrack is not quite matching.
This may bother those pickiest among players, although we're sure the players will appreciate what this five-reel 3 row video slot with 243 fixed paylines has to offer. Yes, that's right, there are 243 ways to win huge payouts, but that's only the tip of the iceberg, since the Dual Lines and Double Up Game offer even more chance to earn hefty prizes that go all the way up to 810,000 coins.
The fresh BetSoft medium variance title, released not even a month ago, will definitely be appealing for all those high rollers out there, with the game RTP of 95.09%.
Before this journey can start, the player will have to choose the coin value. Depending on the coin value, which ranges from $0.02 to $1, and the selected bet level (1-5), the wager can be anywhere from $25 to $125.
As we mentioned earlier, the Oriental influence is seen on the design of the symbols, especially on high-value ones. Low-value symbols are playing cards, while the ones that pay out the most are Lotus, Turtle shell, Koi fish, Zhao Cai Mao cat and Fa Fa Twins.
The Game logo is the Wild, substituting for all other symbols, and it can appear on any reel except on the leftmost one.
The number of winning lines is determined with the help of a given symbol on contiguous reels, starting from the reel1, while the longest available combination results in payout.
Dual Reels is a neat and unique feature that can bring a lot of money. At the beginning of a spin, at least two adjacent reels are going to have identical symbols, with the possibility of extending this match to go all the way to the fifth reel.
Your chances to win don't end here. If you want to cast caution to the wind, the Double Up Game can be activated after each winning spin. Find this option in the lower right part of the screen, and bet half or all of your winnings. Choose Heads or Tails, and if you're lucky enough, you can double your money.

Just wanted to again thank you all so much for helping me get to the starting line on Sunday …. It was a VERY hot and brutal day but i was able to finish the race …. with no achilles pain at all !!! You all are the best !!!!
Mike W.
Our family came to KCP Physical after our son, Adam, underwent 2 surgeries for a torn ACL. Adam was only 10 and had extremely delicate surgery that required a high level of expertise. Joy communicated with our surgeon and helped formulate a treatment plan that we all understood and believed in 100%. She went above and beyond when it came to caring for and treating Adam. She came in on her days off to make sure that Adam got consistent therapy and was careful not to overwork the tender repair. Joy's work was instrumental to the full recovery of our son and we would recommend her healing touch to all that are in need.
After seeing the soft tissue work that she did with Adam, it was an easy decision on who should help me with my Planters facetious and back pain. KCP has always communicated clearly, professionally, and executed the treatment plans as if we were family.

As President George W. Bush prepares to be inaugurated for a second term later this month, school leaders are wondering what a second Bush term will mean for educational technology.
One thing educators know for sure is that U.S. Department of Education (ED) Secretary Roderick Paige won't return with him. Paige officially tendered his resignation Nov. 15, stating, "I did not come to Washington as a career move. I came to help President Bush establish a culture of accountability in American education." To replace Paige, Bush has chosen long-time policy aide Margaret Spellings (story, page 14).
Regardless of who's in charge at ED, educators and school administrators can anticipate "more of the same" when it comes to school technology leadership during the next four years, according to several education policy experts who spoke with eSchool News shortly after the election.
"I don't see a lot of change. I don't see more funds being marked specifically for ed tech," said Ann Flynn, director of educational technology for the National School Boards Association (NSBA). "While I know people care greatly about education, issues like the war in Iraq and terrorism so upstaged education" leading up to the Nov. 2 elections.
The election results, which also solidified the Republican Party's majority in both the Senate and the House, could mean an expansion of the landmark No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), Bush's signature education plan. In fact, in the run-up to the election, Bush vowed to extend the accountability provisions of NCLB to high schools, promising $200 million to pay for that expansion.
Elsewhere on the funding front, Bush also said he would commit another $200 million to assist struggling readers. He promised to increase funding for math instruction by $269 million. He said he would increase the maximum college Pell grants from $1,000 to $5,500 and would raise first-year loan limits for college students. He also promised to commit $125 million to help community colleges offer credit to high school students.
Though NCLB, as structured in Bush's first term, requires greater accountability in exchange for federal dollars, its critics–which include local school administrators and state legislators from both political parties–say it's grossly underfunded. Some say the law's emphasis on testing and research-based methods also leaves little room for creativity in the classroom.
Although much of the federal focus will remain on using technology to implement various aspects of NCLB, the Bush administration also will be looking to implement a few new ed-tech initiatives announced during the campaign.
These initiatives include creating an eLearning Clearinghouse to promote online courses available to students and adults from both public and private sources; providing $200 million to establish individualized learning plans for high school students; and offering greater access to specialized teachers and Advanced Placement courses through distance learning. (See "Bush floats new eLearning plan," http://www.eschoolnews.com/news/ showstory.cfm?ArticleID=5269.)
"This is going to be good for ed tech," said John Bailey, deputy policy director for the Bush campaign and former director of ED's Office of Educational Technology. "The President has made a clear commitment to educational technology in the midst of an incredibly tight budget."
Details about how these new programs would be implemented were unavailable at press time. But advocates of educational technology say they are genuinely concerned about how the administration intends to pay for these new programs when its existing ed-tech programs are already in jeopardy.
"I think a lot of people would like to see the eLearning Clearinghouse happen, and we hope there will be ample funding for it," said Jon Bernstein, vice president of Leslie Harris and Associates, a legislative specialist contracted by groups such as the Consortium for School Networking, the International Society for Technology in Education, and others.
The final 2005 budget approved by Congress includes a near-$200 million reduction to the nation's primary federal ed-tech program, despite heavy lobbying by ed-tech advocates (story, page 1). Bailey says the idea to cut the program's funding came from the House floor and not the Bush administration.
"The President recommended keeping that [money] in there. That's not his position," Bailey said. He noted that the most drastic cuts to school technology funding have come at the state level, and he said he'd like to see ed-tech advocates launch the same lobbying efforts at the state level as well.
Another possible result of Bush's reelection is that the work educators, students, and ED officials have put into crafting the new National Educational Technology Plan won't be wasted or undone, said NSBA's Flynn.
"They spent many, many months crafting the new ed-tech plan, which is just starting to get traction," Flynn said. "Since there wasn't an administration change, I would expect this is the document they will work from."
ED has floated drafts of the new plan among education experts, and at press time the plan was expected to be released in late December.
The freeze on eRate funding is another issue ed-tech advocates hope the feds will fix. They'd like Congress to pass a bill permanently exempting the eRate program from complying with the Anti-Deficiency Act, which abruptly caused funds to pay for internet and telephone service to stop flowing to the nation's schools and libraries Aug. 3. Congress passed a temporary fix to the problem before adjourning Dec. 8 (story, page 4).
"I hope–through whatever process it takes–I hope we can get back the reliability and dependability of the eRate," Flynn said. "The unpredictability that happened to our schools this fall was not good."
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Michael Powell said he is in favor of working with members of Congress to draft legislation to exempt the eRate from the law. It remains unclear whether the decision to apply the Anti-Deficiency Act to the eRate–out of the blue and in mid-stream–was Powell's call alone or whether it came from the White House Office of Management and Budget; both offices have evaded the question to date. (eSchool News has filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the relevant public documents, but the FCC's latest response has been to postpone action.)
It had been rumored that Powell would leave his post to take a position at his alma mater, the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Va., but Powell told reporters Nov. 9 that he is happy where he is, though he added he won't stay past 2007 when his term ends.
An FCC insider speculated that perhaps Rebecca Klein, former Texas Public Utility commissioner, would replace FCC Commissioner Kathleen Q. Abernathy, whose term expired last June. Democratic commissioner Jonathan Adelstein, whose term also had expired, was reinstated for another term.
Republicans gained four seats in the House and four seats in the Senate, but it's still unclear what the changes in the House and Senate will mean for committee representation.

Are you more yin or more yang in the way you run your business? Do you have a good balance? And how are you bringing forth the masculine and feminine in business?
Yang energy is the action energy. It's the go energy… the full out hustle and the competitive nature within us, and it's the getting the to-do-list done.
Yang is masculine in it's nature. It's the on. The fire. And the passion.
Yin energy is the still energy. It's the waiting. The allowing creative ideas to culminate and allowing the seeds of your creations to take root. It's trusting the universe to provide.
Yin is watery, flowing and feminine – it is the energies of intuition and collaboration.
In traditional business, we are are on most of the time. We are the hustle and the bustle and we are heavily rooted in our yang for most of the day.
True beauty of yin and yang lie in balance. In one the other is born, and so sometimes we can be so overly yang that we jump without allowing ideas to come to fruition – we cut them short as we begin to plan and schedule and break down the steps as soon as the idea is born.
How do you balance the two? What are your thoughts on the masculine and feminine in business?
Listen to the 2 minute micro cast and the community responses above! If you are have access to the anchor app (on iOS only right now – May 2016) and you'd like to join in, I'd love to hear how you work with yang and yin as you run your business.

Jereme Richmond convicted in threat case
Former University of Illinois basketball player and high school star Jereme Richmond faces up to seven years in prison after being convicted of threatening a probation officer.
A jury found the 21-year-old Richmond guilty Thursday in Waukegan. His sentencing is Sept. 26.
Richmond was arrested in April after being accused of telling the probation officer from an earlier case to "be real safe" and gesturing as if he were firing a gun at her.
Richmond was sentenced to probation in 2012 after pleading guilty to unlawful use of a weapon. He also faces potential revocation of that probation.
Richmond was Illinois' top high school player his senior year in Waukegan. He played one season at Illinois and entered the NBA draft but wasn't selected.

3 Loves
This soup was a creation of my own. I'm not quite sure what happened but I wanted something hot, something wholesome and something that would use up some of our vegetables. So I began putting things together and it turned out really yummy!
Serves 2
Cooking Instructions
- Put the water in a pan and let it boil
- Add a cube of vegan stock
- Once it's dissolved let it simmer
- Add the broccoli and cauliflower – chopped
- After a couple of minutes, add the kale
- Mix and add the baby corn – I cut each one in to 3 pieces
- Add the capers and mix
- Let the soup boil
- After about 10 minutes add the cherry tomatoes and sweetcorn
- Let it cook for another 5 minutes and then add a handful of sesame seeds
- Dice the tofu and heat in a 'dry' frying pan
- Add a little vegan margarine and mix
- Add this to the soup and let it cook
- Put the cashew nuts in the same frying pan and mix
- Turn the heat off when they become brown – how brown you want them to be depends on you
- Serve the soup and add the cashew nuts on top
My hubby said he could eat this at least three times a week, because it was so healthy and tasty!

Rabies Vaccination Program Sri Lanka
Rabies is one of the world's most deadly and feared diseases.
Rabies is an infectious viral disease which is endemic in Sri Lanka. Once an animal or human develops symptoms, death is inevitable. But, it does not have to be this way; a rabies vaccination can save a life.
Mass Rabies Vaccination Programs are the answer
The World Health Organisation (WHO) advises that mass canine vaccination programs are the most effective measure for eradicating rabies. Vaccinating 70% of the dogs in an area is necessary to control the disease in both humans and dogs.
Mission Rabies Sri Lanka
For the 3rd year running Dogstar Foundation is proud to be the Mission Rabies country partner in Sri Lanka. working with Mission team of staff and volunteers and Using the Mission Rabies App on a smartphone, we record the GPS location of every rabies vaccination given, as well as the dog's gender, sterilization-status and body condition before marking the dog with a temporary paint marker. This work allows us to conduct scientific evidence-based re-sight surveys to ensure our programs achieve the desired coverage. During the Mission Rabies Sri Lanka 2015 and 2016 mass vaccination program in Negombo, Teams vaccinated over 12000 dogs achieving 77% immunization coverage.
Mission Rabies Sri Lanka field team 2017
- 9 International volunteers joined our local teams to vaccinate 4,523 dogs across the Northern Katana district, combining this with 427 canine sterilisations delivered by Dogstar's mobile spay neuter team
- 3 teams walked through every ward going door-to-door looking for owned dogs, a static vaccination point was made using the field sterilisation team and the newest addition to the team – the flying squad – was used to cover every ward catching the free-roaming dogs
- The combination of these specialist teams meant that 79% overall coverage was achieved!!

Yahoo's Aviate Comes Out of Beta With Powerful New Features
Aviate, the Android launcher app acquired by Yahoo earlier this year, was updated with powerful new features on Monday.
Aviate, which is now open to everyone, was an invite-only beta since its launch last October. Previously, users had to request an invitation and spend time on a wait list to get access to the app.
See also: Android Launchers: Their Time Has Come
Unlike many other Android launchers, which focus on customization, Aviate aims to simplify your home screen, according to Mark Daiss, the app's cofounder and Yahoo product manager.
"It's intended to be simple ... The stock Android experience is a little confusing," Daiss told Mashable. "We saw this huge opportunity to innovate and move out of this app-centric model — this grid of apps — and really move towards something that's a little bit more compelling for the user, and gives the user information the moment it's useful without them having to search."
Aviate learns from your habits, and provides recommendations based on the time of day, and what you most likely want to see at that moment. For example, when you wake up, you may see how long you slept (the update includes sleep-tracking capabilities), the weather forecast, news headlines and a brief overview of your calendar for the day.
But the app also adds context to this information. Instead of just seeing the weather forecast, Aviate will also let you know when the weather will be significantly cooler or warmer than the day before. It also knows the places where you spend the most time, and can tell you how much traffic to expect during your morning commute.
What's more, Aviate is continuously changing throughout the day based on your location and patterns. Once you get to work, for example, the screen will change to emphasize the apps and information you typically use while working, such as email, calendar and other productivity apps.
The latest version of Aviate was built with the Incredible Labs team, another recent Yahoo acquisition, which created the Donna virtual assistant app. While Aviate doesn't have a human-like persona, the team did build some assistant-like features into the app, particularly its calendar.
Aviate's calendar pulls in information from all the calendars on your device, not only displaying your events, but also acting as a smart calendar. It can automatically dial in to conference calls, and send "I'm running late" emails to other participants with one tap.
Aviate also organizes your apps into themed collections, such as music, social and news, so you can easily find apps without swiping through multiple menus. The favorites section provides easy access to text, call or email for people you contact the most often.
The new, public version of Aviate rolled out to Google Play on Monday.
