Ratings and ReviewsSee All
I love this app so much ! It is always my go to app for making edits / slideshows. There's every song you think of to choose from unlike some of the other apps I've used. It's also great for making good memory slideshows you can keep in your phone rather then having an unorganized mess of pictures you don't know what to do with. And it saves space in your camera roll 😉😂. It's really easy to use nothing is too complicated I was able to figure everything out easily. It lets you trim your videos how ever short you want which makes it a lot easier then some other apps that don't let you make it shorter and faster, and you can for more into your video. There's also fun filters and stickers you can use in your video that add an extra touch. I also haven't had to pay a cent on this app which makes me really happy and I'm sure other people can agree. Overall, I really enjoy this app. I got it a while after Flipagram changed there name and changed the way their app worked, which I was really disappointed with, but I found Lomotif and I'm glad I did and I don't think I'll be changing my mind anytime soon.
The only thing
The only way to make a new phone is that I don't know what I want to say but I cannot is a new day for me and my friends to the moon and the day of my we all know that you have been in love and I love the new moon and a lot your new and the pup up u to me and my dad and my mom and her sister used it for a couple of weeks I don't think I could get a ride home or I just don't know what I can to get to go get her to go get some food I have a good night I will talk with her tomorrow I will be home soon and I'll talk later I'll be home soon love mom I'll see if you guys have a chance o see what they have and how you doing thanks so I can see what you mean and I'll talk about you tomorrow night I'll be home in a little while I will see if I have time for a ride tomorrow or Thursday or Saturday morning I can go get some lunch tomorrow night and then I'll come get some stuff
This App Is Awesome But One Tip For The Makers
Honestly, this app is key to videos for anything for business or popularity. Adding music to your videos is honestly a hassle these days with copyright. This app allows you to do it without having that hassle. That's HUGE. I would like to think there is a payed version of this app but I haven't looked. The only few changes I would like the make to this app, and advice to the creators, from a customer, would be to have the full song listed and we can pick what part of the song we want. Don't get me wrong, WOW, this app has every song out there. BUT to make it even greater, the GOAT (even though it kind of is the goat already imo) y'all should add the full song and let us pick which part we like best. Overall, this app is a must. I hope the creators see this message so they can tell me why we can't pick the part of our song. Keep killing it though. Looked through hundreds of apps and never found this until someone suggested. Need more advertisement. Best free app out there. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Subtly sweet and fragile, with hints of earth; gorse flowers have such a subtle flavor that you can almost miss it if you're not slowing down and savoring each bite.
For all of their subtlety in the flavor department Gorse is a visually stunning plant. It has tiny bright yellow petals showcased on dark green, spiky branches. Gorse bushes are native to western Europe, though they've made their way around the world, and can be found on coastal landscapes adding a sense of idyllic visual delight to panorama's that might otherwise be flat and sparse. In the spring and summer when they are most fully in bloom, gorse bushes give off the slight scent of coconut when the sun warms their petals.
Today's flavor comes from the kitchen of the Lavender Café in Solva, Pembrokeshire, Wales. I was allowed to sneak a little taste of their local foraging efforts when they found out what a flavor junkie I am.
These particular gorse flowers had just been foraged earlier in the morning from the nearby coast and surrounding area and were being prepared to add to salads and other sweet or savory dishes. Apparently, gorse can also be made into quite a delicious wine.
From a health perspective, there is little empirical research touting the health benefits of gorse, there are plenty of folk herbal remedies. Gorse is high in tannins giving it all the benefits of tannic acid; which include, immune support, cardiovascular support, lowering cholesterol, and balancing blood sugar. Tannins are also antimicrobial, antifungal, antiviral, making gorse a great preventative for foodborne illnesses and bacterial infections. You can also soak gorse seeds and flowers to make an insect repellent, namely for use against fleas. Gorse is part of the Bach Flower Remedy therapy; it is specifically used for feelings of hopelessness.

Their ceremony took place in the Inn's outdoor heated pavilion and concluded with a recessional to "Capital Letters" by Hailee Steinfeld & BloodPop. Guests recessed as well and moved inside the Inn's Mansion House for cocktails and appetizers. After an hour of drinks, yummy eats, and socializing, everyone made their way back out to the pavilion for the reception. DJ Frank Marsden and the Vandiver's Wedding Coordinator, Liz gathered the Bridal Party together inside while guests found their tables and seats outside. Parents were introduced into the reception to "What A Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong, Bridal Party to "Love Shack" by the B-52's, and the newlyweds made their grand entrance to Daughtry's "Start Of Something Good". A blessing by family friends, a buffet meal, and toasts by the Bridal Party preceded the newlywed's first dance to "You Are The Reason" by Calum Scott & Leona Lewis. Jennifer and her Father's dance to Heartland's "I Loved Her First" and then she shared a dance with her Mother to "I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack before Brandon and his Mother danced to "A Song For Mama" by Boyz II Men. Songs by Van Morrison, Mr. Probz, Ed Sheeran, The Temptations, Rihanna, Will Smith and many more entertained the masses and had folks getting their groove on. A cake was cut and enjoyed and then the party continued until last call and a last song to "Everything" by Lifehouse. Thanks to the Vandiver's excellent staff and Stanley Huang Murzyn Photography for all that you did to make Jennifer & Brandon's big day super special and congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Deen!

We had the pleasure of taking the children of Rockwood Nursery School on a field trip to the Guelph Lake Nature Centre this week. What a fun day for everyone! We went for a walk to feed the chickadees. Bird seed was placed on the children's heads as we watched the chickadees swoop down and eat the bird seed. Afterwards, we went inside the Nature Centre where John Luke brought out Ebeneezer Squeezer the snake. The nursery school children had a chance to feel the snake or put it around their necks if they wanted to. We had many brave children in the bunch! We learned what snakes like to eat and how they move. Next, we were shown a rat and could pet it or hold it. All the children and parents had a fantastic time full of fun, nature, and learning!

50 emails
From Homestar Runner Wiki
Strong Bad Email #50
In honor of his 50th email, Strong Bad tries to answer 50 emails, only to have Homestar screw it up.
Cast (in order of appearance): Strong Bad, Homestar Runner, The Strong Bad (Easter Egg), The Sneak (Easter Egg)
STRONG BAD: {singing} Oh, girl... I want to email you so nice. {stops singing} Alright everybody. In honor of this, my 50th email, I've decided to answer 50 of your emails! Ready? Go!

Email #3 Strong Bad, What is your favorite leg? Jess and Tiff Los Angeles, CA
{He stops at "Jess and Tiff."}
STRONG BAD: Well, I like all kinds of legs. You know, like the Great Leg... the Leg of Hope... Tape-Leg? {the phone rings} Oh, man! I was on a roll! Don't nobody go nowheres. I'll be right back. {He walks off and answers the phone} Hello? Yeah, this is me.

STRONG BAD: {on the phone} I dunno, what kind of savings?
{Homestar Runner walks in carrying a fondue pot}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hey Strong Bad, I brought back your fondue pot... Strong Bad? {He looks around, and then sees the computer} Whoa. That TV has words on it. {He sits down at the computer}
{Homestar re-reads the email}

STRONG BAD: No, they're more like elephant feet. Yeah. So what do you think, like, 50 bucks? Sounds good. I'll leave the key under the atmay.
{Back to Compy 386. Homestar has typed in many, many words, but none of them do anything.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: What is that stupid word? {He types in "da cheated" and hits enter. The computer plays a tune and the blue "Flagrant System Error" screen comes up} Uh oh. This does not look good for Homestar Runner.
{Cut back to Strong Bad on the phone}
STRONG BAD: Okay. Bye!
{He hangs up and walks off. Cut back to the computer}
STRONG BAD: Okay. Back to the 50 emails. {He sits down. There's a piece of paper over the monitor with a Windows error window titled "This is real." It says "System report: Everything is fine. Nothing is ruined." Strong Bad reads the message} Everything is fine. Nothing is ruined. Oh, that's good to hear. Let's just, wait a minute... {he tears off the paper and sees the blue screen} Wha... Flagrant Error? What the... where did all my emails go?
{The Paper comes down.}
STRONG BAD: What? The paper? This isn't over yet! Go back up, go back up! {He swats at the paper and then tries to hold it up off the screen} Wait, wait! I think I can remember some of those emails! Uh, "Dear Strong Bad, why are you so awesome? Yours truly, Dumpface." Well, Dumpface, it's a long story. It all started with The Cheat one day when he was going down to the...
{The screen, and Strong Bad's voice, slowly fade out. A paper plate with a Swiss Cake Roll with a "50" candle on it fades in. The Paper comes down again.}
Easter Eggs
- When Strong Bad types the word, "book" you can click on it and bring up a picture of Strong Bad's idea of this book idea.
- At the end, click on the "50th email Swiss Cake Roll" to see a funny "Olde Thyme" Strong Bad cartoon.
- {A title screen reading "Strong Bad and The Electronic Message" appears. Cut to The Strong Bad reading a telegram}
Dear Sir Strong Bad stop How do you manage the telegramophone whilst wearing gentleman's sport gloves? stop Signed Lord Elsington Hallstingdingdingworth
- THE STRONG BAD: Curses! This is all anyone ever asks me! {manning the telegraph} You buffoon! Stop. You... carpetbagger. Stop. I'll give you what's for!
- {The Sneak walks onscreen}
- THE STRONG BAD: The Sneak! How was that? I told that poor sap I'd give him what's for! Yes... now go and steal me fresh jam!
- {The Sneak scurries off}
Fun Facts
- Strong Bad starts by saying "ready, go!" This is a referance to email 20, when he said that to start his spring cleaning.
- When Strong Bad talks about the Great Leg and the Leg of Hope, he is referring to the SNES RPG Secret of Mana. You can upgrade the Great Bow into the Bow of Hope.
- When he responds to Email #3 ("What is your favorite leg?"), Strong Bad mentions tape-leg. This is a reference to tape-leg, one of his past emails, and represents yet another inside joke of the Homestarverse.
- The front floppy in the floppy case is entitled "tongue of the fatman." Tongue of the Fatman is a classic... well, at least old... game for the PC.
- Homestar's attempts at DELETED:
- Baleeted
- Delteated
- Deltaco
- freaky D'td
- chadeated
- deedleated
- meathead?
- dltd
- duh lee ted
- teeteeted
- bubs
- diddley dee
- repeated
- 733t3d
- 3-D movie
- del monte
- ddddddd
- da cheated
- diggity
- beefeated
- stupid word
- believe it
- received it
- stratego
- 3TDted
- seabed
- whitebread
- open sesame
- marie
- hello
- de la soul
- geleted
- feeted
- Some of the commands Homestar tries are references. Some are more obvious than others:
- 'del monte' - A popular brand of fruit juice.
- 'beefeated' - 'Beefeaters' is a nickname for the Yeomen Warders of the Tower of London. There is also a 'Beefeaters' London Dry Gin sold in most liquor stores.
- 'meathead?' - This is probably referring to a catch phrase from the sitcom 'All in the Family' in which Archie Bunker called his son-in-law Mike 'Meathead'.
- 'stratego' - Stratego is a board game.
- 'open sesame' - Famous words from the tale 'Ali Baba and the Forty Theives'.
- 'de la soul' - De La Soul is actually a rap group.
- '3-D Movie' could be a reference to the very fun, but overlooked PC game, Microsoft 3-D Movie Maker.
- '733t3d' - A reference to '1337 speak', a language used on the internet where letters are replaced by numbers or symbols.
- 'diggity' is what Strong Bad says in unused emails when he races to his computer, deletes his email, and breaks his desk (as well as his clavicus majorus).
- As in anything, when you adjust the contrast while Homestar is at the computer, his reflection isn't affected.
- Strong Bad is talking to a potential customer about 'elephant feet'. Apparently he plans to sell Strong Sad's legs on the black market, or something. (Or have him assassinated; See fingers. ) This makes sense in the context of the previous email asking him what his favorite leg is. Furthermore, in a Blog Entry, Strong Sad disclosed that his legs/feet are called "soolnds".
- When old-timey Strong Bad responds to the guy in the easter egg, he calls him a "carpet bagger." A carpet bagger is actually a post civil war term for a northerner moving to the south after the war to get rich or gain power.
- The blue "Flagrant Error" screen is a spoof of similarly vague system errors ("performed an illegal operation"), such as the Windows 9x BSOD. It reads:
FLAGRANT SYSTEM ERROR The system is down. I dunno know what you did, moron, but you sure screwed everything up.
- The note Homestar leaves for Strong Bad is the same note depicted in The System Is Down.
- When responding to Email #1, Strong Bad actually uses one of his favorite comebacks.
- In this e-mail the screen is titled 'Lordy Lordy! Look Who's Over There!' instead of the normal 'Compy 386'
- This is one of the few e-mails where one of the characters touches The Paper.
- When Strong Bad says "I'll leave the key under the atmay." he is speaking pig latin. Atmay would mean mat.
DVD Version
- The "Comeback joke book" easter egg is disabled for some reason


text: Buying Hollywood's History: Carrie Fisher, Paul Newman Memorabilia Hot at Auction 3:17 PM PDT 9/25/2017 by THR Staff FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Getty Images From Audrey Hepburn's Givenchy couture to Carrie Fisher's 'Empire Strikes Back' script, celebrity and film memorabilia has become the hot commodity at auction. Box-office numbers for 2017 may be lagging behind 2016's record-setting year, but don''t confuse lack of interest in movies with lack of interest in movie stars. A look at the fall auction schedule reveals that sales of celebrity and film memorabilia are hotter than ever, with eight events planned between now and Thanksgiving. What's behind this surge in activity? "We know people are passionate about this subject matter, and it's partly because we are feeling very nostalgic at the moment," says Martin Nolan, executive director of L.A.-based Julien's Auctions, which is planning back-to-back events in November: "Icons and Idols: Hollywood" on Nov. 17, and "Treasures from the Vault: Joseff of Hollywood" on Nov. 18. "Increasingly we're also finding that collectors are adding this as part of their investment pie: Next to art, real estate, jewelry, cars, and stocks and bonds, a fun slice has been carved out for collectibles." Consecutive auctions in London this week promise to illuminate the off-screen lives of two of film's most iconic actresses. On Tuesday, Sotheby's presents "Vivien: The Vivien Leigh Collection," the first-ever auction of the actress best known for her Oscar-winning roles in Gone With the Wind and A Streetcar Named Desire. But other than an assortment of film-related items in the 321-lot auction — a leather-bound Gone With the Wind presentation script and her wig from Streetcar among them — many pieces offer a never-before-seen look into Leigh's life. "She died more than 50 years ago [in 1967], so it's easy to forget she was a real person who lived a life," says Frances Christie, head of modern and post-war British art for Sotheby's. Among the items expected to draw intense interest: an assortment of costume and fine jewelry, including a bow brooch featuring cushion- and circular-cut diamonds, estimated to fetch between $33,100 and $46,300; and an oil-on-canvas study in roses, painted by Sir Winston Churchill and gifted to Leigh by the former British prime minister in 1951, carrying a pre-auction estimate of $93,000 to $133,000. "When you think of a Hollywood icon, you don't automatically think of an intimate friendship with Winston Churchill, immortalized by a painting of roses he gave to her," Christie says. "What's special about this auction is that it's not just memorabilia, the things she kept from her stage and screen career. This person who was put at a distance on the silver screen, you're able to learn so much more about her." On Wednesday, Christie's London presents "Audrey Hepburn: The Personal Collection," a 256-lot live auction that represents the first time Hepburn's two sons, Sean Ferrer and Luca Dotti, have released any of their mother's possessions for sale. An online auction kicked off last week and features 231 items, from costume jewelry and clothes — Givenchy and other labels — to items like Hepburn's button and ribbon box and a 1964 telegram from Cristobal Balenciaga; bidding ends Oct. 4, with bids on many items already surpassing estimates. "One of the reasons we split the collection between the online and live platforms is that it was a very democratic way of reaching the most people," explains Adrian Hume-Sayer, head of sale and director of private collections for Christie's London. "Her sons were particularly keen to make the event as accessible as possible." That means accessible in price as well. A few lots are expected to garner lofty prices — two of Hepburn's dresses by Hubert de Givenchy, one worn in 1963's Charade, are among the highlights, while Hepburn's Breakfast at Tiffany's working script, with her notes written throughout in turquoise ink, is estimated between $81,480 and $122,220 — but the auction also pointedly includes a handful of lower-priced items, including a circa-1960 sleep mask and a 1965 telegram from photographer Richard Avedon. "Everyone involved in the auction is aware that Audrey Hepburn's fan base extends far beyond the serious collector," Hume-Sayer says. "It was very purposeful to add several things starting at £100, including the eye mask and some silk flowers she wore in her hair. We want everyone to feel like they could walk away with something." How fandom evolves to collector: Joe Maddalena says he understands that idea all too well. "This was Debbie's wish," notes Maddalena, president and CEO of Profiles in History, which is presenting "The Personal Property Auction of Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds" Oct. 7-9. "She wanted the things that mattered to her back in the hands of collectors because she was a collector. She knew that these things last forever, and you're just a caretaker." In addition to Audrey Hepburn's iconic gown from 1954''s Sabrina and one of Reynolds's dresses from 1952's Singin' in the Rain, the three-day, 1,419-lot auction includes several costumes — including pieces designed by Elsa Schiaparelli for Mae West for 1937's Every Day's a Holiday — as well as wide variety of clothes, furniture and decorative objects from Fisher's and Reynolds's homes. "Because I knew Debbie so well, I saw how she interacted with these things, so all of them are intensely personal to me," says Maddalena, who first met Reynolds in 1977. "But every day we are finding new collectors. Because we grew up with movies, and those are a big part of our memories." High-value items in the Debbie Reynolds/Carrie Fisher auction include the Sabrina gown, estimated between $80,000 and $120,000, as well as a selection of Fisher's Star Wars scripts: An Empire Strikes Back shooting script, filled with Fisher's personal notes and changes, is expected to go for between $30,000 and $50,000, while her presentation script for Star Wars, given to Fisher by George Lucas at completion of filming, carries a pre-auction estimate of $20,000 to $30,000. But like the Christie's Audrey Hepburn auction, Maddalena felt it was important to offer a wide range of pricing: A carved rose-quartz vase from Reynolds' home carries an estimate of $100 to $200, while the kitschier items from Fisher's home include everything from antique tin containers to a "Princess Leia" rubber duck on a soap dish; both lots likewise carry an estimate of $100 to $200. "They both had their own fans, of every generation, and we organized this event so the most people might take away their own memory of these two incredible women," Maddalena says. At the other end of the spectrum, expect one lot at "Winning Icons: Legendary Watches of the 20th Century," set for Oct. 26 at Phillips New York, to capture the highest price of the season — and possibly set a record. Among the 50 timepieces up for auction that evening is the one considered the holy grail of status watches: the Rolex "Paul Newman" Cosmograph Daytona, famously owned and worn by the actor (the auction takes its name from Newman's 1969 film, Winning, which reportedly inspired his love of auto racing). "Amazingly, this watch found us," says Paul Boutrous, Phillips' head of watches for the Americas, of the Rolex's journey from Newman's wrist to a former boyfriend of his daughter, Nell, to the auction block. "It had become this mythic thing of hope for collectors. Once we knew of its availability, we built an entire sale of iconic watches around this incredibly special piece." Other timepieces in "Winning Icons" include a circa-1951 Patek Philippe, the brand's first perpetual-calendar chronograph, estimated between $600,000 and $1.2 million, and a circa-1927 Cartier Tank Cintree in platinum, with an estimate set between $250,000 and $500,000. With just 50 watches in the auction, has the Paul Newman Daytona been positioned as the climax of the evening? Not with so much global interest, Boutros says. "We have to be mindful of international bidders," he notes. "For watches of interest to Asian and European clients, we have to consider compatible time zones. We haven't decided yet on the lot number for the Paul Newman, but you can count on it being more toward the beginning of the evening, rather than later." At press time Boutros and Newman's Rolex were still on a world tour, visiting interested collectors in Geneva, Hong Kong, Taipei and points beyond; Boutros will bring the watch to L.A. for viewings Oct. 12-14. The pre-sale estimate has been set at "in excess of" $1 million (a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Nell Newman Foundation); a similar model not owned by Newman was sold in May at a Phillips auction for $3,717,906. But Boutros demurs when asked if he thinks Newman's fabled Rolex might go for a record price. "We tend to be very cautious, because you never know what can happen at auction," he says. "Numbers get thrown around, and it makes us worry, for sure. We don't want to discourage anyone. We expect bidding from all types, from interested parties to seasoned watch collectors to museums." Indeed, heightened interest in celebrity and entertainment memorabilia from museums, especially as it relates to fashion, should come as no surprise. "We find more and more that successful museum exhibitions are those with a fashion or celebrity theme," Nolan, of Julien's Auctions, says. "But it makes sense, because that's our contemporary history. Look at David Bowie [at London's Victoria & Albert museum in 2013] or Pink Floyd, which is there now and tracking to be bigger than Bowie. They're drawing huge crowds and extending hours to meet the demand. That's why there's more and more competition to own especially the truly iconic pieces that become available." The Nov. 17 "Icons & Idols: Hollywood" auction includes more than 70 costumes and memorabilia owned or worn by Judy Garland, including her red velvet dress by costume designer Irene Sharaff, worn in 1944's Meet Me in St. Louis (pre-sale estimate: $6,000-$8,000), while the Nov. 18 "Treasures from the Vault: Joseff of Hollywood" auction could prove to be a boon to museums and fans alike. More than 500 pieces will be featured from the archives of Joseff of Hollywood, the costume-jewelry house founded by Eugene Joseff in the 1930s, culled from an extensive collection still kept in an unmarked Burbank warehouse. Joseff of Hollywood produced thousands of costume jewels between the 1930s and 1950s (Eugene, who ran a parallel business crafting aviation parts, died in a plane crash in 1948; his wife, Joan, took over both businesses, which remain in the Joseff family). The Nov. 18 auction includes such A-list pieces as a necklace and earrings worn by Vivien Leigh in Gone With the Wind; a spray of diamond stars worn by Greta Garbo in Camille; and a gold-plated belt and cuff bracelet, both featuring snake embellishments, worn by Elizabeth Taylor in Cleopatra. Julien's toured the Joseff pieces, taking them to museums in Ireland and Atlanta, where Nolan says interest was intense from collectors and casual fans alike. "Of all the memorabilia out there, jewelry is the easiest to be worn," he points out. "How great is it to show up at a dinner party, and you're wearing Elizabeth Taylor's bracelet or Marilyn Monroe's earrings? It's the talk of the party." Bonhams has partnered with Turner Classic Movies since 2013 (at their first auction collaboration, the screen-used titular statue from 1941's Maltese Falcon sold for $4.085 million, while a Givenchy hat Hepburn wore in 1957's Funny Face quadrupled its estimate, selling for $87,500). The latest auctions — "TCM Presents … Vintage Movie Posters Featuring the Ira Resnick Collection" on Nov. 20 and the sci-fi-centric "TCM Presents … Out of This World!" on Nov. 21 — reflect both the changing tastes and the growing sophistication of memorabilia collectors, says Catherine Williamson, director of entertainment memorabilia for L.A.-based Bonhams. "We're seeing that people who were children in the '60s and '70s are coming into their mature collecting phase, which for most of us is middle age and up, when kids have gone off to school and you can focus on the thing that means a lot to you," she says. "With the Star Wars generation, which grew up in the '70s and '80s, they're now collectors with change in their pocket, and they're looking to collect the totems of their youth." As its name implies, the Nov. 20 auction highlights vintage posters from renowned collector Ira Resnick, author of the 2010 book, Starstruck: Vintage Movie Posters from Classic Hollywood. Most of the posters featured in the auction from the 1930s, Williamson says: "That was the decade that produced some truly spectacular posters using stone lithography, and because people didn't think about collecting movie posters then, they're much rarer." If Williamson had to pick one favorite from this auction? "The most beautiful is a one-sheet from Gold Diggers of 1933 — the film included a lot of big stars at the time, but none of them really appear on the art," she says. "It's primarily a beautiful illustration of dancing girls and really bold typography." The poster's pre-auction estimate is $20,000 to $30,000. Hot lots in "Out of This World!" include a screen-used light saber from 1983's Return of the Jedi, which carries an estimate of $150,000 to $250,000, as well as the iconic Robby the Robot from 1956's Forbidden Planet; Bonhams is offering that estimate only "on request." A variety of other items are available even if you're not a sci-fi fan, including Joe Mankiewicz's leather-bound presentation script from 1950's All About Eve, embossed on the cover with the writer-director's initials. "People call us because they have this material, and it's the right time to sell because the marketplace is ready," Williamson says. "We also have to be flexible. Everybody in the auction business has to be aware of the trends; it's a little bit like fashion that way." Ultimately, what's the reason for this uptick of interest in memorabilia? Nolan has a theory. "There are a lot of harsh things happening in the world, and this is a throwback to something that's very constant," he says. "These days we find ourselves going back to comfort food and constant things in our lives. No matter what, we can always watch It's a Wonderful Life or The Quiet Man, and these items we connect to conjure thoughts of happy days and happy memories." Christie agrees. "The wonderful thing about these historical collections is that they bring people together with a moment in history that, for whatever reason, speaks to them," she says. No matter whether any of the items set to go on the Sotheby's block Tuesday end up in the hands of serious art collectors or passionate film fans, Christie shares the sentiment of any auction expert who has lovingly curated a collection: "I hope they all go to good homes."

The purpose of this FOA is to address critical scientific questions on the clinical course of HIV infection and treatment in a large cohort of HIV-positive young women of reproductive age. This new research study will help to define and understand clinical outcomes over the course of young women's reproductive lives, including a focus on the effects of HIV and antiretroviral treatment during pregnancies and post-partum periods.
The number of women living with HIV continues to increase globally. With the availability of effective antiretroviral therapy, there is a critical need to understand the complex health needs of HIV-infected young women. CDC statistics have shown that in the United States 1 in 4 individuals living with HIV are women and that women accounted for approximately 19% of new infections in 2015. There is a disproportionate large number of Black/African Americans and Hispanic/Latina women affected by HIV, compared with women of other races/ethnicities. Furthermore, there is evidence that women experience more adverse effects of HIV treatment due to biological, psychological, and social factors that influence the way pregnant and non-pregnant women experience HIV infection. As HIV has become a chronic illness that needs to be managed over a long time, reproductive health and the consequences associated with antiretroviral treatment, pregnancy, post-partum outcomes and HIV-associated complications and co-morbidities are areas that are especially relevant to HIV-infected young women. Epidemiologic studies within a cohort of young women of reproductive age are crucial for understanding how long-term effects of HIV and its treatment influence health and disease.
The primary goal of this FOA is to generate information needed to better understand the health consequences of antiretroviral therapy through a cohort study of at least 2000 young women of reproductive age living with HIV in the United States, and to identify opportunities to mitigate risk of disease, and maximize health. Applications for studies leveraging and building upon existing cohort infrastructures to investigate HIV-infected, young women of reproductive age are encouraged.
In response to this FOA, investigators should propose hypotheses about the impact of HIV and its treatment on young women's development, reproductive health, and disease outcomes throughout their reproductive life. The areas of research focus include, but are not limited to:
Although multiple PD/PI applications are not required, multi-investigator, collaborative, interdisciplinary applications are highly encouraged to ensure that the most effective and comprehensive approaches to establishing a large cohort of at least 2000 young women with behaviorally and perinatally acquired HIV and investigating the critical scientific issues are applied. Innovative methodological approaches for the conduct, design and analysis of cohort studies of HIV/AIDS are encouraged to maximize the use of data to inform on health outcomes. The development of novel ways to improve the quality of self-reported data, to improve linkages between health care data, and standardize collection techniques and harmonize databases are also needed to improve research.
Through this FOA, research on HIV infection and its treatment will include the range of acute and chronic illnesses of women over the course of their reproductive life.

The applicant organization must ensure that the DUNS number it provides on the application is the same number used in the organization's profile in the eRA Commons and for the System for Award Management. Additional information may be found in the SF424 (R&R) Application Guide.
See more tips for avoiding common errors.
Upon receipt, applications will be evaluated for completeness and compliance with application instructions by the Center for Scientific Review and responsiveness by components of participating organizations, NIH. Applications that are incomplete, non-compliant and/or nonresponsive will not be reviewed.
Applicants are required to follow the instructions for post-submission materials, as described in the policy.
Only the review criteria described below will be considered in the review process. As part of the NIH mission, all applications submitted to the NIH in support of biomedical and behavioral research are evaluated for scientific and technical merit through the NIH peer review system.
Reviewers will provide an overall impact score to reflect their assessment of the likelihood for the project to exert a sustained, powerful influence on the research field(s) involved, in consideration of the following review criteria and additional review criteria (as applicable for the project proposed).
Reviewers will consider each of the review criteria below in the determination of scientific merit, and give a separate score for each. An application does not need to be strong in all categories to be judged likely to have major scientific impact. For example, a project that by its nature is not innovative may be essential to advance a field.
Does the project address an important problem or a critical barrier to progress in the field? Is there a strong scientific premise for the project? If the aims of the project are achieved, how will scientific knowledge, technical capability, and/or clinical practice be improved? How will successful completion of the aims change the concepts, methods, technologies, treatments, services, or preventative interventions that drive this field? Has the applicant proposed a scientific agenda that maximizes data and specimen collection from the cohort to advance understanding of HIV infection and disease?
Are the PD(s)/PI(s), collaborators, and other researchers well suited to the project? If Early Stage Investigators or those in the early stages of independent careers, do they have appropriate experience and training? If established, have they demonstrated an ongoing record of accomplishments that have advanced their field(s)? If the project is collaborative or multi-PD/PI, do the investigators have complementary and integrated expertise; are their leadership approach, governance and organizational structure appropriate for the project? Have the PD(s)/PI(s) provided evidence that they and the collaborators, and other researchers have previous experience and success in conducting these types of studies?
Does the application challenge and seek to shift current research or clinical practice paradigms by utilizing novel theoretical concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions? Are the concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions novel to one field of research or novel in a broad sense? Is a refinement, improvement, or new application of theoretical concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions proposed? Do the PD(s)/PI(s) suggest novel approaches to accelerate and simplify the studies proposed?
Are the overall strategy, methodology, and analyses well-reasoned and appropriate to accomplish the specific aims of the project? Have the investigators presented strategies to ensure a robust and unbiased approach, as appropriate for the work proposed? Are potential problems, alternative strategies, and benchmarks for success presented? If the project is in the early stages of development, will the strategy establish feasibility and will particularly risky aspects be managed? Have the investigators presented adequate plans to address relevant biological variables, such as sex, for studies in vertebrate animals or human subjects?
If the project involves human subjects and/or NIH-defined clinical research, are the plans to address 1) the protection of human subjects from research risks, and 2) inclusion (or exclusion) of individuals on the basis of sex/gender, race, and ethnicity, as well as the inclusion or exclusion of children, justified in terms of the scientific goals and research strategy proposed?
Will the scientific environment in which the work will be done contribute to the probability of success? Are the institutional support, equipment and other physical resources available to the investigators adequate for the project proposed? Will the project benefit from unique features of the scientific environment, subject populations, or collaborative arrangements?
As applicable for the project proposed, reviewers will evaluate the following additional items while determining scientific and technical merit, and in providing an overall impact score, but will not give separate scores for these items.
For research that involves human subjects but does not involve one of the six categories of research that are exempt under 45 CFR Part 46, the committee will evaluate the justification for involvement of human subjects and the proposed protections from research risk relating to their participation according to the following five review criteria: 1) risk to subjects, 2) adequacy of protection against risks, 3) potential benefits to the subjects and others, 4) importance of the knowledge to be gained, and 5) data and safety monitoring for clinical trials.
For research that involves human subjects and meets the criteria for one or more of the six categories of research that are exempt under 45 CFR Part 46, the committee will evaluate: 1) the justification for the exemption, 2) human subjects involvement and characteristics, and 3) sources of materials. For additional information on review of the Human Subjects section, please refer to the Guidelines for the Review of Human Subjects.
When the proposed project involves human subjects and/or NIH-defined clinical research, the committee will evaluate the proposed plans for the inclusion (or exclusion) of individuals on the basis of sex/gender, race, and ethnicity, as well as the inclusion (or exclusion) of children to determine if it is justified in terms of the scientific goals and research strategy proposed. For additional information on review of the Inclusion section, please refer to the Guidelines for the Review of Inclusion in Clinical Research.
The committee will evaluate the involvement of live vertebrate animals as part of the scientific assessment according to the following criteria: (1) description of proposed procedures involving animals, including species, strains, ages, sex, and total number to be used; (2) justifications for the use of animals versus alternative models and for the appropriateness of the species proposed; (3) interventions to minimize discomfort, distress, pain and injury; and (4) justification for euthanasia method if NOT consistent with the AVMA Guidelines for the Euthanasia of Animals. Reviewers will assess the use of chimpanzees as they would any other application proposing the use of vertebrate animals. For additional information on review of the Vertebrate Animals section, please refer to the Worksheet for Review of the Vertebrate Animal Section.
Reviewers will assess whether materials or procedures proposed are potentially hazardous to research personnel and/or the environment, and if needed, determine whether adequate protection is proposed.

For these terms of award, see the NIH Grants Policy Statement Part II: Terms and Conditions of NIH Grant Awards, Subpart A: General and Part II: Terms and Conditions of NIH Grant Awards, Subpart B: Terms and Conditions for Specific Types of Grants, Grantees, and Activities. More information is provided at Award Conditions and Information for NIH Grants.
Recipients of federal financial assistance (FFA) from HHS must administer their programs in compliance with federal civil rights law. This means that recipients of HHS funds must ensure equal access to their programs without regard to a person's race, color, national origin, disability, age and, in some circumstances, sex and religion. This includes ensuring your programs are accessible to persons with limited English proficiency. HHS recognizes that research projects are often limited in scope for many reasons that are nondiscriminatory, such as the principal investigator's scientific interest, funding limitations, recruitment requirements, and other considerations. Thus, criteria in research protocols that target or exclude certain populations are warranted where nondiscriminatory justifications establish that such criteria are appropriate with respect to the health or safety of the subjects, the scientific study design, or the purpose of the research.
For additional guidance regarding how the provisions apply to NIH grant programs, please contact the Scientific/Research Contact that is identified in Section VII under Agency Contacts of this FOA. HHS provides general guidance to recipients of FFA on meeting their legal obligation to take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to their programs by persons with limited English proficiency. Please see http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/civilrights/resources/laws/revisedlep.html. The HHS Office for Civil Rights also provides guidance on complying with civil rights laws enforced by HHS. Please see http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/civilrights/understanding/section1557/index.html; and http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/civilrights/understanding/index.html. Recipients of FFA also have specific legal obligations for serving qualified individuals with disabilities. Please see http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/civilrights/understanding/disability/index.html. Please contact the HHS Office for Civil Rights for more information about obligations and prohibitions under federal civil rights laws at http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/office/about/rgn-hqaddresses.html or call 1-800-368-1019 or TDD 1-800-537-7697. Also note it is an HHS Departmental goal to ensure access to quality, culturally competent care, including long-term services and supports, for vulnerable populations. For further guidance on providing culturally and linguistically appropriate services, recipients should review the National Standards for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services in Health and Health Care at http://minorityhealth.hhs.gov/omh/browse.aspx?lvl=2&lvlid=53.
In accordance with the statutory provisions contained in Section 872 of the Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2009 (Public Law 110-417), NIH awards will be subject to the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) requirements. FAPIIS requires Federal award making officials to review and consider information about an applicant in the designated integrity and performance system (currently FAPIIS) prior to making an award. An applicant, at its option, may review information in the designated integrity and performance systems accessible through FAPIIS and comment on any information about itself that a Federal agency previously entered and is currently in FAPIIS. The Federal awarding agency will consider any comments by the applicant, in addition to other information in FAPIIS, in making a judgement about the applicant's integrity, business ethics, and record of performance under Federal awards when completing the review of risk posed by applicants as described in 45 CFR Part 75.205 "Federal awarding agency review of risk posed by applicants." This provision will apply to all NIH grants and cooperative agreements except fellowships.
Cooperative Agreement Terms and Conditions of Award
Not Applicable
When multiple years are involved, awardees will be required to submit the Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR) annually and financial statements as required in the NIH Grants Policy Statement.
A final RPPR, invention statement, and the expenditure data portion of the Federal Financial Report are required for closeout of an award, as described in the NIH Grants Policy Statement.
The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (Transparency Act), includes a requirement for awardees of Federal grants to report information about first-tier subawards and executive compensation under Federal assistance awards issued in FY2011 or later. All awardees of applicable NIH grants and cooperative agreements are required to report to the Federal Subaward Reporting System (FSRS) available at www.fsrs.gov on all subawards over $25,000. See the NIH Grants Policy Statement for additional information on this reporting requirement.
In accordance with the regulatory requirements provided at 45 CFR 75.113 and Appendix XII to 45 CFR Part 75, recipients that have currently active Federal grants, cooperative agreements, and procurement contracts from all Federal awarding agencies with a cumulative total value greater than $10,000,000 for any period of time during the period of performance of a Federal award, must report and maintain the currency of information reported in the System for Award Management (SAM) about civil, criminal, and administrative proceedings in connection with the award or performance of a Federal award that reached final disposition within the most recent five-year period. The recipient must also make semiannual disclosures regarding such proceedings. Proceedings information will be made publicly available in the designated integrity and performance system (currently FAPIIS). This is a statutory requirement under section 872 of Public Law 110-417, as amended (41 U.S.C. 2313). As required by section 3010 of Public Law 111-212, all information posted in the designated integrity and performance system on or after April 15, 2011, except past performance reviews required for Federal procurement contracts, will be publicly available.

SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are separated by just two points in the IPL standings. A win for SRH will bring them level on points with KKR, who are currently in fourth spot. So, the match is of huge significance for both teams. Also, with eight matches done, the league stage is getting very interesting with the top two — Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians — running away in terms of points. As the action on the ground nears the business end, the IPL Fantasy race is hotting up as well. Both teams have some superstar names in their squads, which ones will you be choosing?
Top IPL 2020 Fantasy picks for SRH vs KKR match:
David Warner (Credits – 12.5): The Australian superstar and SRH skipper has been far from his fluent best, and yet has been among runs, only further proving his impact in the shortest format of the game. David Warner has been one of the most consistent performers with the bat in IPL over the years, and this year has been no different. He is sure to get you some points if included in your Fantasy XI, but doesn't come cheap. At 12.5 credits, Warner is super expensive, but has already got 408 points and will surely get quite a few more.
Shubman Gill (Credits – 8.5): It's not like the youngster has destroyed bowling attacks in IPL 2020, but instead become adept at accumulating runs. He has 275 runs from eight matches at 39.28 with two half-centuries with an unbeaten 70 being his highest score in IPL 2020. Gill might not give you a bagful full of points but at 8.5 credits, is a steady stream of points.
Rashid Khan (Credits – 10): Along with Yuzvendra Chahal, Rashid Khan has been the been one of the finest performing wrist spinners in IPL 2020 so far. Not only has he picked wickets, but given precious little away in terms of runs. His economy rate of 5.34 is absolutely priceless and he is no mug with the bat either. So, having Rashid Khan in your team is a sure-shot way of fetching points.
T Natarajan (Credits – 6.5): Barely have any credits left to choose a real game-changer, well don't fret because T Natarajan is there. At 6.5 credits, this left-arm pacer is an absolute steal and all those who have gone with some big names, who obviously don't come cheap, and now need a not-so-expensive option, then Natarajan in your man. The SRH pacer has already fetched 278 points, and looks good for some more.
Eoin Morgan (Credits – 9.5): The England limited-overs captain has not really set the stage alight with his performances, but is very capable of turning up the heat on his day, and getting a bagful of points. Eoin Morgan's batting position has been a problem, and if he decides to come early and stays for a period of time, then it's Diwali bonanza for those who have him in your team. Morgan is boundary-hitter and capable of scoring big runs that will fetch you a lot of points.

Winter Technology with a Hidden Holiday Gift
By Miguel Gonzalez, CPE
I recently came across these smarTouch Isotoner gloves and was initially intrigued by their feature to help me connect to my mobile device in the cold!
Essentially, the design of the gloves allows the user to interact with a touch screen device without having to fear the effects of the winter elements. More specifically, "The thumb and index finger are embroidered with conductive thread that conveys an electrical impulse to the touchscreen. This unique patent pending construction gives these gloves exceptional performance, allowing for pinpoint accuracy." But, from an ergonomic perspective, these gloves provide the user with a hidden holiday gift. The gloves address a couple of risk factors that we know (over time) can contribute to ergonomic injuries. Most obvious is the fact that the gloves eliminate exposure to low temperatures (known to reduce blood flow and tactile sensitivity). But more importantly, the intent of the smarTouch gloves is to eliminate the need to repeatedly remove and put-on winter gloves while one uses a touch screen device. Over a 5-month winter season, you could potentially avoid hundreds, if not thousands of repetitive movements simply by keeping your winter gloves on. This just may be the perfect stocking stuffer for you or any fellow touch-screen user!

Movie Review: Nightcrawler
Nightcrawler is a gripping but ultimately hollow dark satire with caricatures prowling in the night to remind us of modern society's twisted fascination with shock entertainment.
Lou Bloom (Jake Gyllenhaal), a driven young man desperate for work, discovers the high-speed world of L.A. crime journalism. Finding a group of freelance camera crews who film crashes, fires, murder and other mayhem, Lou muscles into the cut-throat, dangerous realm of nightcrawling — where each police siren wail equals a possible windfall and victims are converted into dollars and cents. Aided by Nina (Rene Russo), a veteran of the blood-sport that is local TV news, Lou blurs the line between observer and participant to become the star of his own story. [Open Road]
Nightcrawler is an effective media satire that also reflects our baser instincts. The media can milk shock value for what its worth in ratings because there's a part of us that can't look away from gruesome tragedies.
Jake Gyllenhaal delivers a great performance as he embodies an unapologetic asshole that could serve as a stand-in for greedy Wall Street yuppies.
Pretty much like the grotesque videos he turns in that would become media coverage for news, you can't help but look at how he can sink lower.
The film is sharp and precise as the cinematography, direction and plot is devoid of any flourishes. Nightcrawler could have easily become some director's self-indulgent artsy fartsy anti-hero film but fortunately, the makers just let the screenplay speak for itself.
On the other hand, the film doesn't really have anything else to say and thematically remains flat.
The cast do their best, but the characters remain as one note caricatures. Lou Bloom is an unrelatable creep who prefers to use corporate-speak and blurts out platitudes in every conversation, while the rest barely have any characterization. They're all putty in Bloom's hand, either victimized or led astray.
The film does its best to be authentic and show the ugly side of the media. But considering Bloom's ambition, it makes you wonder why he didn't just do it himself with a website of his own?
This approach would have have been a more timely reflection of media in the digital age. User-generated content often trumps traditional channels, to the point that Obama met with You Tube users in an attempt to appeal to the younger demographic. Yuppies now make money from virtual real estate rather than a physical one.
In spite of this Nightcrawler is still a well executed satire and shows no matter how advanced technology is, human nature is pretty much the same. Instead of circus freak shows we have the reality TV programming. Instead of the graphic local gazette we have pixelated news coverage.
My Rating: 7/10

Welcome to new students
The following is a brief statement that I was privileged to make during orientation 2008, welcoming incoming transfer students and our class of 2012:
I am trained as a criminologist and actually have spent most of my career teaching and doing research in that field. My current work focuses on community health problems and solutions. Students are responsible directly for this shift from crime to health, and I have the great good fortune to be involved in the two most exciting projects of my career. I think this says a lot about the community – the intellectual community – that you are joining. I am deeply committed to my research and my teaching, but I am even more deeply interested in learning, and I learn every day from my colleagues and from my students.
My research and teaching now focus on projects in the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. SOMOS is the student project that works in the Dominican Republic, and SHC is the group working in Nicaragua. Working with groups of students who are committed to improving health and health care in two communities, in two nations, and in the region and world, I have found it necessary to re-think what I know and how I approach knowledge and its value. My students challenge me to help them find relevant systematic research to guide their efforts so that they can go beyond just doing nice things for needy people. They challenge me to show them how to understand unfamiliar cultures and social arrangements so that they can work effectively as partners with these communities in finding long-term solutions. And they invite me to demonstrate that knowledge is power.
I've been at W&M long enough to have formed some reasonably well grounded impressions about students and the "student culture," and I'd like to share a couple of those impressions with you. First, many look at the campus and see homogeneous 18-22 year olds with common backgrounds and widely shared interests and perspectives. Don't be deceived. Students at W&M are far more diverse than outward appearance would suggest. They come to the College with rich differences in travel, interests, accomplishments, and aspirations. There are huge numbers of groups and cliques that travel and operate just below the surface, just out of sight. They are not fixed and immutable, but rather constantly shifting friendships and associations of people with shared interests of an amazing variety. Second, W&M students are serious (which is not the same thing as "not fun"). In my experience, they are ready to engage ideas, issues, or perspectives at almost any time, day or night.
A word of advice: Slow down. These are good times. Engage, think, reflect, learn — and savor.
