One of the most critical factors of any trade show or a promotional event is hiring the right promotional models. If you're searching for top promo models in Miami to promote your brand effectively at an event, making the right choice is crucial for your event to be successful.
Having the right promotional team by your side can make all the difference in the world. It can make or break your ROI. However, saying you are going to hire the best promotional models and doing it are two different things. There are many talent agencies in Miami and making the right decision for your event takes some planning. You should consider many different things when hiring the right staff for your promotions; you can't just walk into an agency and order models – it's not that you can't, it's that you shouldn't.
Like all things in life that matter, finding the perfect promotional model takes careful planning. Here are the five most important things to consider when it comes to finding talent in Miami:
What Kind of an Agency Fits Your Needs
A successful modeling agency in Miami will have a team of people who already know what kind of models work for your particular industry.
One of the most important things here is not to confuse a traditional staffing agency with a talent agency. A typical staffing agency doesn't feature actual talent. They have a wide range of people who are there to staff your event and do mundane tasks. These people aren't models, they aren't easily spotted in a crowd, and they aren't eye-catchy. Additionally, their job is to act as the staff, not to promote a brand or product. They usually aren't experienced with promotions simply because that's not something they do on a regular basis.
However, the most successful modeling agencies also do event staffing, in addition to featuring gorgeous promotional models. If you find the right agency, you will have a variety of options to think about. Top promotional agencies in Miami feature beautiful, educated talent that's going to be super-excited about your brand and represent it with enthusiasm and lots of energy. With a talent agency, you can get promo models AND staff. It's a win-win!
Experience Level
One of the crucial things to consider when searching for promo models is their experience level with the type of event you are hiring them for. In case you are looking for models that would only pass out promo material and smile to attract attendees or just extra staff to support your booth without any unique interaction with the visitors, you should do well with models who are new to the industry. But, if you're looking for a promo model to present information about your product or demonstrate the way your product works, you should consider hiring an experienced model that has many successful events under their belt. These kinds of models need to have impressive resumes, and they need to have the right skills and experience to present your product correctly and take your brand's presence to the next level.
Model's Education
Is your product or service specific or highly technical? If so, education is a significant factor for you to consider when choosing the right promo models. For particular industries and highly specialized products, you will need promotional models that are intelligent and educated. Only a trained model will make sure your brand, product, or service is showcased professionally and in the best possible way. When a model has high levels of education, they will be comfortable with all of the attendees; they won't feel intimidated by the intelligence of any attendee. Instead, they will be able to have intellectual conversations with them.
Is the Agency Established?
When choosing the right agency, you need to know if they have specialized in the sort of events you are looking to present your brand at. The right agency didn't start working yesterday. It's an agency with a rich history of working with brands that are similar to yours, and they usually have an extensive list of clients with fabulous reviews of past presentations. If you put your brand in the hands of a young agency, you might end up with a headache. An established agency will be able to give you the proper staff, but also the right advice because this is something they have been doing for years, preferably even decades. The Kat Agency, for example, has enough years of experience and enough successful collaboration with various brands to show for.
Phone Interviews and Video Reels
If the agency provides you with the possibility of speaking to the models via phone, then it is highly recommended that you take this opportunity. Five to ten minutes are enough for a brief conversation so you can get a sense of how friendly and well-spoken the model you are considering is. It's important to note that you should be reasonable and understand the fact that promotional models are very busy and that speaking with them for more than 5-10 minutes is unnecessary. It is enough time for you to realize whether the model has the personality and intelligence you are seeking.
Video reels are also a useful tool when considering the right promotional model for hire. The reels can be of the model in action at a trade show or an event, or they could be a short introduction from the model speaking to the camera and introducing themselves. These videos should contain enough material for you to decide if the model is a right fit or not.
It's not enough to search for just any modeling agency. To make things work, the combination of your brand and the agency has to be right. It needs to look and sound right. Leaving your brand in the wrong hands may destroy the public image of your brand and company. Even if it doesn't ruin it, it might make you invisible and your brand insignificant. To avoid complete waste of time and resources, you should look for agencies that feature the exact kind of models you need.

Saint Peter Port
Saint Peter Port, town (1991 pop. 16,100), capital of Guernsey, Channel Islands. Its shallow harbor is protected by piers; vegetables, fruits, and flowers are exported. Hauteville House, the residence of Victor Hugo from 1856 to 1870, contains memorials of the author. The 13th-century Castle Cornet is on an islet near the town. The Church of St. Peter, partly 14th cent., is considered the finest on the islands. Elizabeth College for boys was founded there in 1563.

The Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center, a Moscow-based rocket and spacecraft manufacturer, plans to revive the former Soviet Union's winged spacecraft program, perhaps similar to the U.S.S.R's shuttle known as Buran (Blizzard). Started in 1974, Buran was a Soviet reusable spacecraft project undertaken as a response to NASA's Space Shuttle program.
According to a report appearing on Sputnik News, the revived version of the project, called the Reusable Space Rocket System, or MRKS, will be financed from 2021 through 2025. It will be developed under the Russian Federal Space Program and will cost no less than $185 million.According to a report appearing on Space Daily, the MRKS, could be launched from the Vostochny Cosmodrome in the Russian Far East, will see a partially reusable launch vehicle (MRKS-1) equipped with a winged booster stage.
The reusable booster, after lifting the second, expendable stage of the MRKS vehicle into the stratosphere, would separate and return back to Earth to be prepared for its next mission.
The MRKS-1, a partially reusable modular vertical launch vehicle, is based on a winged, reusable first stage.
The vehicle features an airplane configuration and is capable of returning to the launch area for a horizontal landing. It also includes disposable second stages and upper stages. The winged first stage is equipped with reusable liquid-propellant sustainers.
The MRKS-1 will be capable of sending a wide range of payloads into space, weighing up to 35 metric tons and more. This could significantly reduce the cost of launching satellites and other spacecraft into orbit.
The Buran Program was a Soviet and later Russian reusable spacecraft project that began in 1974 at the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute and was formally suspended in 1993. It was the largest and the most expensive project in the history of Soviet space exploration.
A Buran-class orbiter, named Orbiter OK-1K1, flew to space only once in 1988 and remains the only Soviet reusable spacecraft to be launched into orbit. It was launched on Nov. 15, 1988, from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The shuttle orbited the Earth twice in 206 minutes of flight. On its return, it performed an automated landing on the shuttle runway at Baikonur.
Because there were striking visual similarities between Buran and NASA's Space Shuttle, it was speculated that espionage may have played a key role in the development of the Soviet spacecraft. However, despite external similarities, many differences existed, like the absence of the main rocket engines on the Buran shuttle. It suggests that, if espionage had been a factor in Buran's development, it would likely have been in the form of external photography or early airframe designs.
The cancellation of the Buran project left Russia without any reusable spacecraft. Similarly, the conclusion of NASA's Space Shuttle program in 2011 left the U.S. with no space transportation system capable of delivering astronauts into orbit.

The recent Davies Commission opted for Heathrow as their official recommendation. I have always been of the view that Gatwick is the right choice; it can be delivered quicker, is cheaper and has far better environmental benefits compared to Heathrow.
And importantly much of the procurement (up to 40 per cent) for the construction phase as well as the ongoing employment will go to 'local' companies; Eastbourne can be part of that.
So it would be to our economic benefit, and I am pleased that both Eastbourne Borough Council, and East Sussex County Council have endorsed this position.
Many local people have written to me on this, and I have discussed it many times with local businesses, both small and large. The case is clear.
There is a strong anti-Heathrow feeling among many MPs and others, as I discussed with new London Mayoral Candidate Zac Goldsmith this week at Conference.
But of course there is a big 'anti Gatwick' lobby as well. And I do have some sympathy with their position; but I take the view that the potential economic benefits for Eastbourne and Willingdon outweigh the negatives. Additional UK airport capacity is clearly and desperately needed, and I have no doubt that Gatwick is the best place for it.
I will continue to press the Government to not blindly follow the Davies commission recommendation. The commission makes clear that with Heathrow there would be many more people affected by noise compared to Gatwick. A Heathrow development would mean nearly 800 homes will have to be demolished, and the cost of the entire scheme is likely to be £20bn+ (including public access changes) compared to less than £8bn for Gatwick
If you have views on this, I would be pleased to hear them, please get in touch at firstname.lastname@example.com

Coming home from work one day, my car died at the intersection of North Dixie Highway and Northeast 33rd Street in Pompano Beach. Thanks to a kind lady behind me, who let me use her cell phone. A man was kind enough to stop and told me his cousin was a tow truck operator and he would use his car to push me close enough for his cousin to tow me home. I wish I had gotten the lady's name, but the two men were of Armenian extraction. The one who pushed my car was Sam, a shoemaker at Festival Flea Market, and Vinnie, his cousin, was the tow truck driver from Vahe's Towing Company. They need to be recognized. I also hope the lady who helped me sees this letter. Thank you and God bless them all.

Local SEO Company in Phoenix Offering Services to Small Businesses for Improved Success
The world of business today is seeing competition now that is possibly more fierce than ever. Thanks largely to the prominence of the Internet in so many aspects of daily life, there seems to be an abundance of businesses. The ease and convenience of starting a business and running it online has led to many new businesses being established all the time. So when individuals search for any sort of product or service that they might desire, they now have plenty of options to choose from. Though this is an obvious benefit in the eyes of consumers, many businesses are suffering because of the challenges that presents. Standing out among the rest is crucial for success, and this can be a daunting, difficult task for many businesses. Online marketing companies such as those in Phoenix, Arizona have been developing techniques such as local SEO strategies to help small businesses stand out and gain a greater web presence in recent years.
So what is local SEO? Search engine optimization was developed as a result of the ongoing trends of search engine users. Research conducted by Pew Internet found that 58 percent of people have researched a product or service online. Various studies have shown that when people search for a product or service online, they very rarely ever go past the first page of results that are returned. Moreover, they also strongly prefer the organic links that are returned rather than the paid links. To accommodate these trends, local SEO companies develop custom created content for their clients that contains the key words that are most commonly searched. This ideally leads to more traffic and potentially, new leads for the business.
It is recommended by many companies that offer small business SEO services to have the name of the website be one of the top five most anchored texts. Those who are wondering what is local SEO going to do for their business may be convinced by knowing that they will be provided with compelling content that can help them stand out. To receive compelling custom content that lead to establishing a greater online presence, businesses can hire a local SEO company in Phoenix, Arizona.

Talk about riddles wrapped in mysteries inside enigmas. Winston Churchill's famous comment about the Soviet Union under Josef Stalin is even more appropriate regarding North Korea. The death of its venerable dictator, Kim Il Sung, marks the end of an era. He was the last of the national leaders who dominated the years immediately following World War II, for better or worse. He may prove to be the last of the communist supreme rulers as well.
None of the major Marxist dictatorships has succeeded in transferring power to its heir apparent for very long. Mr. Kim's son, Kim Jong Il, has the advantage of a head start. His father transferred day-to-day authority to him several years ago. He appears to be taking hold of the critical levers of power in Pyongyang. Holding onto them will be another matter.
Far less is known about North Korea than any other country with its military strength and potential for serious international disruption. The younger Mr. Kim is a mystery, indeed.

I wanted to learn a little bit more about NIO, so I wrote this application to take image data and write it to a single file as raw RGB data. I kept entries of the start and end location of this data in a separate file. All the IO was done with Java's NIO. This app was also some good OpenGL practice and an introduction to coding a gui from scratch.

New Delhi, May 3 (PTI) Police have arrested a man from north Delhis Sarai Rohilla while he was trying to flee after allegedly committing a burglary at a shop.
The Police Control Room (PCR) staff saw a group of men running towards a car after allegedly committing burglary at a Patanjali shop in the wee hours of Monday, Monika Bhardwaj, Deputy Commissioner of Police (PCR), said today.
The officer posted the CCTV footage obtained by the PCR staff from the area on Twitter.
The footage shows the PCR van intercepting a car. While the other occupants of the car managed to flee, one man, identified as Vinit (24), was nabbed by Assistant Sub- Inspector Mahender Singh and Constable Amit Kumar, said the DCP.
A search of the car led to the recovery of a wristwatch, a high-end smartphone, two bags full of cigarettes and Rs 4,500 in cash, she added.
"The accused told the police that the articles were stolen from another shop. The burglars used an iron rod to break open the shutter of the shop," said the DCP.
The car, which was found to be stolen from Sultanpuri, was seized by the police. PTI SLB RC

It's going to be a long time till we see a new live-action Batman movie; 2020 or 2021 at the earliest, so it's going to be up to The LEGO Batman Movie to tide us over. No problem because LEGO Batman was easily one of the best parts of The LEGO Movie, but can he stand on his own, in his own movie, in the shadow of Ben Affleck, Christian Bale and all the big screen Batmen who've come before. The answer you're looking for, especially from the looks of this new trailer, is yes. Released at San Diego Comic Con yesterday, here's the latest look at The LEGO Batman Movie.
The emphasis of the trailer this is on Robin (voiced by Michael Cera), an orphan accidentally adopted by Batman (Will Arnett) even though he was being sarcastic. Alfred (Ralph Fiennes) insists that Batman take responsibility for the boy and spend less time hanging out in the dark, being up all night and dressed in black, but Batman instead takes the teen on a wild, seatbelt-less ride through Gotham fighting the Joker (Zach Galifianakis) and hanging out with Batgirl (Rosario Dawson). So shall we take a look? The password is "Na-na-na-na, Na-na-na-na, Batman!"
Not bad, huh? And the line, "No, Bruce Wayne lives in Batman's attic," may be one of the most astute observations into Batman's psyche was ever made. Whether or not the rest of the film is as sharp (it probably is) we'll have to wait and see. The LEGO Batman Movie will be in theaters everywhere on February 10, 2017.

An Aisle Seat August Entry
By Andy Dursin
First off this week, I have to give props to Robert Townson and the
Varese Sarabande boys for yet another solid run of CD Club releases.
"The Sand Pebbles" has been eagerly awaited by Goldsmith fans for years,
and -- while not my favorite Alan Silvestri score -- his "Romancing the
Stone" has been a title many film score aficionados have wanted to get
their hands on as well.
THE FURY Deluxe Edition is a real eye-opener. While I love the
London Symphony Orchestra soundtrack album, the actual L.A. film recording
has its own distinct flavor and packs a potent punch in its concluding
minutes. It's a phenomenal album, although I wouldn't be so fast to dispose
of my old Varese CD soundtrack just yet: the track "Death On the Carousel"
(the "extra" cue) has been omitted from the new CD Club release. A similar
performance of that cue IS on the L.A. soundtrack disc, but in an alternate
(and shorter) arrangement -- so die-hard Williams fans should hold onto
the older CD just for completion's sake.
I also have to mention THE BRIDE, which despite running 30 minutes
with some curious liner notes ("The Hills Have Eyes Part II" was a box-office
hit?) comes highly recommended just the same. This is a gorgeous, romantic
work by Maurice Jarre that many listeners overlooked simply because the
film itself was so poorly received (I tend to think the movie is severely
underrated, despite its shortcomings). At only $15 and limited to 1,000
copies, I'd definitely take a chance on the album, even though Varese opted
to reprise the contents of the original LP and nothing more.
For the next Varese CD Club wave, I yet again request two unreleased
gems: Elmer Bernstein's FUNNY FARM and Bill Conti's VICTORY (or how 'bout
a complete release of the actual RIGHT STUFF soundtrack?).
LORD OF THE RINGS (***, 178 mins., 2001, PG-13; New Line): After
watching the first three hours of Peter Jackson's long-awaited film version
of J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" series last December, I had
many mixed feelings. Overall, though, I felt that I had seen one of the
few films that had succeeded in establishing a true fantasy world and an
epic quest that lures you in the way that great fantasy can.
The story is one that needs little description: in the kingdom of Middle
Earth, young Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) sets out on a journey to destroy
an evil ring, created by the dark lord Sauron, that has been given to him
by his uncle Bilbo (Ian Holm). It not only renders its wearer invisible,
but also gives him the power to control the various kingdoms of Middle
Earth itself. Hot on the trail of the ring are evil armies and corrupted
men, all united by the desire to control the ring and bring back the dark
lord, no longer in physical form but gaining power by the moment. Frodo
is joined on his journey by pal Sam Gangee (Sean Astin) and the great sorcerer
Gandalf (Ian McKellan) among others he meets along the way, including Strider
(Viggo Mortensen) and Princess Arwen (Liv Tyler).
THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING is the kind of film that most genre fans
loved, though even watching it a second time on DVD, it's curious how repetitive
the action is for a movie that goes on for three hours: the characters
run into a monster or new supporting character, walk to another location,
run into a monster or new supporting character, run to another venue, all
the while staying ahead of the bad guys.
That's not to say that I wasn't entertained by the movie or enthralled
by parts of it, but the novelty of its story doesn't seem as cinematically
fresh as it could have been had the film been made years ago -- especially
after so many other Tolkien-inspired cinematic journeys, from "Willow"
to "Dragonslayer," "Star Wars" and others, have already covered similar
ground of unlikely heroes, dastardly villains, and bizarre creatures scattered
across unfamiliar terrain.
What I found most satisfying about LORD OF THE RINGS as a movie was
the look of Jackson's film and the fact that he captured the essence of
an epic adventure, a great quest, on-screen without getting sidetracked
by the many supporting characters and subplots. When the characters travel
through the mine of the dwarves, are pursued by a fire-spewing demon, and
jump across a crumbling bridge, you truly feel as if you're in the middle
of a great, epic fantasy adventure. Where each turn could lead down a different
path, each path leading to doom or discovery.
There are some shortcomings with the film, and if I had to single out
a general flaw I found, I'd note the rather one-note tone of the film:
the drama doesn't seem to have any peaks or valleys. It's all just kind
of "there." Maybe it's because of the repetitive nature of the story, or
that Elijah Wood's functional performance as Frodo doesn't quite convey
the wide range of emotion inherent in the character and his journey. Even
though we know the ending is going to be open-ended, Jackson doesn't quite
handle it right: I could hear several "is that it?" responses from people
sitting near me when the film faded to black and the credits began rolling
in theaters.
I generally liked Howard Shore's large orchestral, Oscar-winning score,
but found, over the course of three hours, that his motifs also became
redundant. His lilting music for the Hobbits reminded me of similar "ethnic"
themes written for "Willow" and "Far and Away," while the "heroic theme"
he composed for the adventurers grows tiresome over the countless scenes
of the heroes venturing over rough terrain. It's always functional, but
somehow it misses the wider, more colorful thematic pallet that Leonard
Rosenman brought to Ralph Bakshi's 1978 animated feature. It'll be interesting
to see if Shore varies from his original work for the next six hours of
the series, since a lot of his material felt worn-out by the time this
installment was finished.
So, is THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RINGS a classic? The next "Star Wars"?
I think the jury is still out, but Jackson at least laid the foundation
here to craft one of the fantasy genre's few epic cinematic works. Whether
the remaining installments hit the dramatic heights that this one doesn't
quite reach, or if it's all just a great-looking tease made unique only
through its connection with the classic text, at least it seems apparent
that it's going to be a journey worth taking.
Now, onto the DVD: New Line has just released a two-disc DVD edition
of the theatrical cut, with a second disc of bonus features basically comprised
of mostly-promotional featurettes. As with every New Line title, the 2.35
transfer is outstanding and the 5.1 Dolby Digital soundtrack one of the
best you'll hear at home.
For Special Features, you get a 16-minute featurette produced by book
publishers Houghton-Mifflin, a half-hour special that aired on Fox, and
a 45-minute Making Of that was broadcast on the Sci-Fi Channel. All of
these are mostly promotional in nature but aren't devoid of interest, with
background footage and interviews breaking up the monotony of seeing the
same film clips rehashed over and over. A handful of shorter featurettes
produced for the Lord of the Rings website are included, as are your full
run of trailers and TV spots, an Enya music video, a preview of the upcoming
Electronic Arts video game, and à arguably of the most interest -- a 10-minute
preview of THE TWO TOWERS, which features flim clips and behind-the-scenes
footage (most intriguingly of Andy Serkis' Gollum character, prominently
featured in the next picture), whetting your appetite for the sequel.
Now, several readers have emailed me and asked if they should hold off
for the truly "Special" Edition of THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING: a four-disc
Director's Cut that will feature commentaries, an abundance of documentaries,
and 30 minutes of footage restored back into the film itself (including
new music composed by Howard Shore), coming in November.
My advice is this: if you are a major fan of the film and want a copy
of the theatrical version, go ahead and pick up this two-disc edition.
Fans will want every scrap of RINGS behind-the-scenes material (promotional
or not), and the documentaries on this edition will NOT, apparently, be
on the four-disc Director's Cut. It's also important to note that the Director's
Cut will apparently be R-rated and contain more gore, which will be of
significance if kids are a part of your viewing audience.
On the other hand, if you only have the time and money to invest in
one release, I'd hold off and purchase the Director's Edition in November.
It'll be just a few dollars more and promises to be one of the top special
DVD editions of the year, if not the format altogether. Stay tuned!
Despite my reservations about the film, however, New Line has crafted
another outstanding Platinum Edition DVD release that may be worth it for
its supplements alone -- especially for its film music-related goodness!
First, the movie: Wesley Snipes is back as the half-vampire, half-human
Marvel super- hero, here summoned to help out a group of vampires being
attacked by a plague of nosferatu-like creatures that prey on the undead
as well as the living.
David S. Goyer's script offers up the usual fights and kung-fu moves
for Wesley, but director Guillermo Tel Toro is far more interested in bloodletting
and plenty of disgusting special effects than his predecessor (Stephen
Norrington) was. These vampire-offspring not only want to drink your blood,
but their mouths open up into a foul, tentacle-laden critter a la John
Carpenter's "The Thing" as they rip your guts out.
Kris Kristofferson re-appears as Blade's faithful pal Whistler, but
while Snipes is game as always, the movie sadly lacks the presence of bad-guy
Deacon Frost, who served up a grand menace to Blade thanks to Stephen Dorff's
performance in the original. He's mentioned in passing here, but the sequel's
substitute -- a cast-off son of a vampire king wanting to exact revenge
on his old man -- is weak, and a would-be romance between Blade and the
head vamp's daughter (the fetching but emotionless Lenor Vanela) comes
off as half-baked at best. A cool battle with ninja-vamps at the beginning
is, alas, only a tease for the rather tedious shenanigans that follow.
Where the original BLADE was a cool comic-book come to life -- colorfully
filling up a widescreen frame not employed here -- BLADE 2 is more of a
claustrophobic, subterranean horror movie like Del Toro's "Mimic," with
the director's urine-yellow cinematography washing out the first film's
more contemporary look. More over, the director dwells on gore and blood
to the point where I kept looking at my watch, waiting for this one to
BLADE 2 is grimier, uglier, and gorier than the original, but it's also
less involving and interesting as a story. After nearly three years, you
would have thought that Snipes and company could have cooked up a sequel
with more bite, never mind blood.
Now for some good news: New Line's DVD is packed with supplements, including
a full- blown isolated score track of Marco Beltrami's score (in 5.1) that
includes all of his own work and is not interrupted with dialogue, source
music, or commentary interruptions. It's been a long time since we've heard
a legitimate isolated score track, but fortunately BLADE II is one of them!
This two-disc set (available September 3) is filled to the brim with
great commentaries and copious extras that may well be worth the purchase
for genre fans even if, like me, you didn't care for the film. Del Toro
and producer Peter Frankfurt engage in one commentary track that's unusually
candid and interesting, touching upon Del Toro's direction and the production
in Prague. Snipes and Goyer are teamed for the other commentary, with the
two discussing the sequel's conception and road to the screen, along with
other anecdotes that place it far above the usual self-congratulatory commentary
Disc two includes all kinds of interactive documentaries and supplements,
presented in both an interactive format (i.e. an icon appears on-screen
that brings you to more information) and a traditional text menu for those
who don't want to spend time figuring out complicated menu screens (thank
you, New Line!). The meat of the disc is "Production Workshop," which includes
five individual "chapters" (The Blood Pact, Sequence Breakdowns, Visual
Effects, Notebook, and Art Gallery) spanning the production of BLADE II.
The Blood Pact portion itself runs some 83 minutes, starting from the
sequel's origin all the way through direction, production design, creature
and visual FX, choreography, costumes, and -- yes -- even the score.
Beltrami is extensively interviewed about scoring the film, while recording
session footage is on-hand in abundance. But the segment doesn't stop there
-- Del Toro and Beltrami can also be seen discussing Varese's CD release
of the score, mulling when it would be released and how much music would
be on it! The use of ethnic instruments and their separate recording is
also shown and discussed, while the performance of an alternate cue is
included, enabling you to compare it to the final version.
This is easily one of the best film music featurettes I've ever seen
on a DVD, period, and if you are a fan of Beltrami or this score, don't
miss it!
Some 25 minutes worth of Deleted Scenes are also included (several fully
scored), though Del Toro rightfully describes them as "crap" and you can
easily see why they were axed.
A full compliment of trailers, TV spots, storyboards, a DVD-ROM interactive
script, director's journals, and equally outstanding featurettes on the
FX are just the tip of the iceberg in a package that's hands down one of
the year's best on DVD. So good, in fact, that I'm almost willing to forgive
the disappointment of the film and give this one a full- blown recommendation.
For genre fans, certainly, BLADE II comes recommended without reservation.
Look for it early next month.
It says a great deal about a movie when a supporting role for former
sitcom teen phenom Jason Bateman is the most amusing thing in it (he does,
to his credit, perform a hilarious rendition of the Bangles' "Eternal Flame"),
but I have to admit THE SWEETEST THING is so bizarre that it kept me watching.
Diaz, Applegate, and Selma Blair are awfully appealing and I got the feeling
that there was a funny, sweet movie lurking somewhere in Nancy Pimental's
script. The problem is that the tone swings wildly from romantic comedy
to disgusting, lost-common-denominator visual gags, almost as if the sexually-
oriented humor was thrown in simply to get the movie made. Whatever the
case may be, director Roger Kumble ("Cruel Intentions") seemed to have
trouble juggling the film's multiple personalities.
Columbia has released both R-rated and Unrated versions of THE SWEETEST
THING on DVD. Not having seen the theatrical cut, I can only assume one
brief shot of male genitalia was added to the unrated version. The 1.85
transfer is perfect, the 5.1 soundtrack bouncy, and supplements include
director and cast commentary, a promotional featurette, storyboards, trailers,
and a half-hour, tongue-in-cheek look at Pimental working on the script.

Cheshire East is perfect for cycling, not too flat, not too hilly, with market towns and some very picturesque countryside in between. The Travel Cheshire website will help you to find what you're looking for.
In Cheshire East there are:
Our policy for cycling as a mode of active travel is covered by the Cheshire East Local Transport Plan (LTP). This is currently under review to reflect changes and opportunities within the Borough, with consultation with the public, stakeholders and elected members expected early in 2018.
The new LTP will set out the Council's ambitious transport strategy to guide investment in the transport network in the period 2018-2023.
The LTP is supported by a number of other strategies that have been recently developed or are under development. They include the 'Cycling Strategy', a 'Sustainable Modes of Transport to School' strategy and a 'Compulsory School Age Education Travel Policy.
With the same policies and objectives as the Local Transport Plan, the Rights of Way Improvement Plan also sets out our policy for cycling for leisure purposes.
The current ROWIP covers until 2026 and is delivered through four-yearly implementation plans. Once the new LTP is approved, the implementation plan will be reviewed and updated as required.
Frank Jordan, Executive Director of Place, is our cycling champion for Cheshire East and is an advocate for cycling and cyclists throughout the borough.
On 14 March 2017, we adopted our cycling strategy (PDF, 2MB) which sets out an ambitious vision for a network of high quality strategic cycle routes which connect local communities and key growth areas whilst also giving access to leisure opportunities and the natural environment of Cheshire East. The executive summary (PDF, 5MB) outlines the headlines of the cycling strategy.
A key action of the Cycling Strategy is the implementation of a cycle proofing toolkit to ensure that new development schemes take cycling into consideration as part of the design and planning process. We are working to train officers to ensure this happens.
We have also been successful in a bid to receive technical support in early 2018 from the Department for Transport to help in the production of Local Cycling and Walking Investment Plans (LCWIPs) for some of our local towns. In our Cycling Strategy, we have called these Town Cycling Plans.
Cheshire East Council works with its partners to deliver cycling projects around the borough. Here are a few examples of recent work:
Working with partners, the following is an example of an ongoing project, subject to funding, consultation and feasibility:

*This post highlights wearing cozy and chic cashmere sweaters featuring an item from J. Jill that was given to me as a gift in exchange for my honest opinion.
Hey, Everyone!
I'm sure you're all aware of how freakishly cold this winter has been. It's pretty hard to avoid. Even places that are typically warm, like Miami, are experiencing abnormal temperatures. I have no idea why this year is so different but I'm ready for it to be over. Bring on the Spring! I'm back in the office two days a week now which means I have to think about what to wear (Ugh). When it comes to dressing professionally, cozy and chic cashmere sweaters like the one I have on today are perfect for the office! Cashmere is not only warm, but it's super easy to dress up OR down. Don't get me wrong, I do love chunky sweaters. It's just good to switch things up every now and then.
Today, I'm wearing J. Jill's Cashmere Shirttail Pullover in Dusty Freesia. I'm a big fan of the color purple so the pastel purple color of the sweater is just right for me. Since my office doesn't necessarily require me to dress up, the denim leggings I have on are fine. I added my favorite trench coat and vintage Hermés scarf to dress them up a bit. The heels I'm wearing are only for the photos. I don't typically wear heels this high into the office. To be honest, I have no idea why any women do that. It's way too uncomfortable. LOL!
Here's my look:
*Photos were taken by Caswell Samms
Don't be fooled by how thin this sweater looks. That's what's so great about cashmere. Even the thinnest cashmere is SO warm!
Do you have any cozy and chic cashmere sweaters you'll be wearing this winter?
Until next time…

IRS Scanning 10 Ks for Tax Data, Report Finds
When CFOs and accounting standard-setters refer to the "users" of corporate 10-Ks, they usually mean investors, research analysts and rival companies. But new research suggests that another kind of user has been taking a keen interest in their companies' annual reports: the Internal Revenue Service.
In fact, corporate taxpayers may have gotten wind that the IRS was increasingly downloading their 10-Ks starting in 2006, when the Financial Accounting Standards board issued an interpretation (FIN 48) that required more information about uncertain tax positions (UTPs), says one of the researchers, Jeffrey Hoopes, an Ohio State accounting professor who also does research for the IRS.
As a result, companies scaled back on the verbiage and numbers concerning their tax uncertainties in the notes to their 10-Ks, according to the study, "Reading the Roadmap: IRS Attention to Financial Statements." Read more on CFO.

My role: UX Writer
As a UX writer on the project, I worked with a designer and a product manager to integrate a B2B Gift Card portal into the existing Gift Card purchase and marketing user flows. I was responsible for the copy and information flows.
Integrating Business Gift Cards
Our goal was to make it easy for business customers to order gift cards for their team. I was responsible for the marketing page, the Business Gift Card portal and email copy business gift card givers and recipients would receive as part of their account creation, account management and purchase flows.
What I learned
Never to underestimate the complexity of a project. Initially the asks seemed like simple additions to an already existing Gift Card portal. Our vendor CashStar set clear limitations for the team to work within. The business reality was the gift card business impacted a lot of teams, from physical stores to finance. I was grateful to the skill and positive, get-it done attitude of our program manager Christy. She was stellar—and set an example for the partnership between program management and UX.

A Tim Burton-themed bar is opening in New York City
For those of you who ever dreamed of frequenting a bar based on the career of filmmaker Tim Burton, it's all about to come true for you. A new establishment named The Beetle House is nearing its grand opening in New York City, featuring drinks and food all centered around Burton and his cinematic creations.
You'll be able to kick back and sip on some cocktails like This Is Halloween, The Jack Skellington, The Big Fish Bowl and the Barnabas Collins, among others. And if you're feeling hungry, there is a wide assortment of dishes to choose from, such as Edward Burger Hands, Eggs Skellington, Sweeney Beef and Cheshire Mac. Make sure you leave room for dessert, too, as you're sure to want to try the Warm Wonka Bar Chocolate Cake.
You're going to need reservations to get in, so you might want to pick a date starting April 27, which appears to be when they'll be opening their doors to the public. Calling The Beetle House a mix of theme park, theater and bar, this place is from the same duo, Zach Neil & Brian Link, who launched a Will Ferrell-themed spot. Therefore, don't expect some thrown together concept location, but something that really goes for the vibe of celebrating the work of Tim Burton.
Tim Burton's latest film MISS PEREGRINE'S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN opens on September 30.

Milton: June Jones checks a lot of boxes for Ticats
When the thing you need to do to please the players is the same thing you need to do to please the fans, you shouldn't wait long to do it.
So, eight days after the CFL season ends, June Jones is no longer the interim head coach of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. He is the head coach, no superfluous adjective.
The fans clearly wanted Jones back and the players, especially on offence, loved him from the day he inherited the loudest whistle.
And, most importantly, Jones's bosses Kent Austin and Scott Mitchell, like what he's done, the atmosphere he's created, the hope he's provided the franchise, and the impetus he's given to prospective free agents to return to Hamilton. So he's back.
For whatever reason, and it wasn't just one, the day that June Jones went from Kent Austin's assistant to Austin's replacement as head coach, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats became the football team they saw in the mirror but not on the field.
In a result-based business you can't argue with numbers, you can only add modifiers.
The Ticats had been oh-for-eight and they went 6-4 under Jones and could even have had a win or two more with a little better luck and a little better grasp of CFL nuances.
Yes, they were proceeding with urgency, as if they were in the playoffs, while some of their opponents weren't and yes they solidified things on the back end of their defence that they hadn't prior to Labour Day. But those in themselves don't explain such a dramatic turnaround, or the sense of relaxation which permeated the clubhouse.
Outside of wins and losses, coaching is essentially a non-quantifiable profession. The same recipe doesn't always produce the same dish. A coach often doesn't do anything different in a 10-8 playoff year than he does in the season they finish 6-12, but it sure looks dissimilar. It's no longer working, or the personnel doesn't buy in like they once did or, as we felt about Austin's offence, the other guys are on to what you are trying.
Jones' return doesn't necessarily mean that every free agent the Ticats want will arrive here, or that some players who complained they wouldn't return if Austin is still involved, which he is, will actually return. But CFL history teaches us that a couple of thousand bucks in either direction makes more difference to a player than who's signing the contracts. History also teaches us that most memories are short.
Jones will make a big difference to offensive players because they feel his configurations put them in a position to succeed, as a team and individually. And score often.
Austin's did too in the earlier years, but not in the past many months, and it became clear it was taking players too long to digest the system, which is partly why the 2013-17 teams generally started poorly every season. Go 0-4, or 1-4, enough times and 0-8 is absolutely inevitable.
Jones had to keep it uncomplicated because he arrived mid-season, and that was one of the beauties of the Ticats in the second half. They thrived on that relative simplicity. We'll see what happens when the playbook thickens, but he'll also have his first training camp and April Optional Team Activity period (which they should use for system development, not just talent evaluation) to work with.
It's clear that despite being a pass-first guy Jones likes to establish the very real threat of a run. That makes the offensive linemen giddy, and the opposition nervous.
He decided, correctly as it turned out, that Jeremiah Masoli is the better quarterback to sell that threat to opponents than Zach Collaros is. So it's hard to imagine that Jones agreed to return without some semi-assurance that Masoli would too.
Formally sorting out the Masoli-Collaros hierarchy is the next step and understand this about the Tiger-Cats since Mitchell became the CEO: They like to do things in a certain, defendable, order especially in hirings and signings. Austin was ratified by Mitchell earlier, now Austin hires hiscoach, and the coach decides upon the quarterback.
Masoli, who needs a raise if he's to start, and Collaros, the highest-paid player in the league, cannot co-exist as quarterbacks here. The salary cap weighs against it.
So, we assume, the market is now open to Collaros bidders. He has a heavy ($200,000) bonus due in February and that would likely lower the trading price for a team who takes him before the bonus is due, and raise it for those who'd prefer to wait.
The 2017 season was a terrible one on several fronts for the Tiger-Cats, but they ended it with optimism and have already re-upped the main cause of that optimism. Now they have to make the same correct decisions on a number of key players…which won't be as obvious as it was picking the coach.

The Silver Bullet system provides an innovative, commercial technology to condition agricultural drinking water for livestock. Silver Bullet Agricultural Services knows water is one of the most important elements in raising productive, healthy livestock. Untreated or poorly treated drinking water can carry bacteria, fungi and parasites and can cause disease or death.
Silver Bullet will treat the drinking water for animals and prevent a two-fold cost:
1. The first cost is care - to ensure animals are healthy and not diseased.
2. The second is the cost of lost production as unhealthy animals aren't growing or producing as rapidly as they should be.
The Silver Bullet system produces a complete biocide that has no taste or smell (chemically treated water is not palatable to animals). By drastically reducing the presence of bacteria, animals will drink more water and remain healthy and productive. The Silver Bullet system works by using ultraviolet light and other proprietary technology to create hydrogen peroxide, a tremendous biocide. Hydrogen peroxide is non- toxic and tasteless and odorless, unlike other chemicals like chlorine.
In agriculture, farmers are able to provide cleaner water to their livestock, greatly reducing the chance of disease spread through water from trough to trough. Bacteria in drinking water can lead animals to drink less and have a greater opportunity for sickness. Sick livestock presents a two-fold cost in both reduced production as well as the cost for care. Clean water for livestock is something that has long gone unaddressed, but there is now a solution in the Silver Bullet system.
~ Safer than other Water Treatment Systems: The Silver Bullet System creates a non-toxic chemical in its closed system. Chemicals never need to be manually added to the system.
~Risk Free: The Silver Bullet system is rented on a monthly basis, so there is no capital expenditure for the customer, just a one-time installation fee.
~Simple to Install and Easy to Maintain: Installing the Silver Bullet system takes less than a day and can be activated with no disruption to the current water system. Once the system is installed, it requires no ongoing maintenance; monthly testing can proceed as with traditional chemical treatment.
~Reduces Need for Consumable Products: As the Silver Bullet system functions, it replaces the need for additives such as salt or chemicals to act as the biocide.
Air is passed through Silver Bullet's patented processor which combines UV treatment and additional elements which bombard O
to create negatively charged oxygen ions (O
). This gas is bubbled into the farm's water supply, where the O
bonds with water to form hydrogen peroxide (H
Note that this system does not directly treat the water with UV light.
(Hydrogen Peroxide) produced by the Silver Bullet system kills and prevents bacterial growth and keeps calcium dissolved in solution to prevent scaling on pipes and all other parts of the livestock drinking water system. The Silver Bullet system also reduces the rate of corrosion by keeping minerals dissolved in the water, making the water less chemically active in dissolving the piping material. The Silver Bullet system is fully redundant for fail-safe, continuous operation, and retrofits into any farm in less than a day.
Bijou Hills Dairy
Bijou Hill Dairy has been using the Silver Bullet Water Treatment System for over 6 months. During the treatment Silver Bullet Agricultural Services has sampled several of the troughs at Bijou Hill Dairy and have sent them to Aerobiology for biological testing. The tests show 10,000 fold reduction in Coliforms, 100 fold reduction in HPC, a 10 fold reduction in Staphylococcus Aureus (Staph), a 10 fold reduction in E.Coli, and Listeria has nearly been eradicated.
~Somatic cell count has gone down by 100,000 cells, and the lower cell count appears to be stable.
~In the milk chiller water we have seen a reduction of bacteria to an undetectable level.
~The cows are drinking out of troughs that they never used to drink out of.
~We believe that the overall health of our heard is much better than we have ever seen it before.
Dairymen and farmers are a very busy group of individuals. In their busy lives they tend to neglect water quality and the importance that it may have upon their animals. Water quality is something that should be given more consideration in running an overall healthy farm. There are many harmful bacteria that are constantly growing in the animals' water troughs and the negative effects that these bacteria have on the health of our animals is sometimes lost in the mix of day to day operations.
Based on the facts above, Bijou Hill Dairy would highly recommend the Silver Bullet Water Treatment System to any fellow farmer or dairyman. It has greatly increased our overall water quality and we believe it would do the same for anyone who would give it a chance.

Considerations To Know About home remedy for nail fungus"Figuring out combinations from the treatment to try and understanding when to view a doctor helped. Also aided with examining for diabetic issues."..." extra A Anonymous
Continue to keep bare toes subjected to air just as much as possible, check out carrying flip flops or sandals within the home as an alternative to bundling your ft up in slippers, footwear and socks.
Always have on footwear in public destinations. This is particularly significant when you shower inside a shared health club. Make sure you don sandals whilst showering if several individuals are utilizing the identical shower. These perpetually wet, heat places full of sweaty consumers are bacteria breeding grounds.
: These are typically notes from my assortment, none of them are meant to be a substitute for Specialist healthcare assistance. This information is presented for general expertise applications only.
Take an oral medication. See your medical doctor about getting a prescription for an oral antifungal medication if none of the earlier mentioned home solutions are encouraging your affliction. Two normally prescribed remedies that are thought to be specially successful are terbinafine (Lamisil) and itraconazole (Sporanox).
I am aware I sound crazy And that i in all probability am given that I've had to deal with this since just after my auto incident July 21, 1990!!!! I'm able to't think the medical professional yrs ago reported it wasn't fungus but it was just through the trauma my foot went through prior and carries on for being subjected to.
This is why, critical oils are usually combined with provider oils prior to application. Mix 4 drops of oregano necessary oil with three drops of olive oil or almond oil.
It's superior to dilute the tea tree oil with a provider oil, like olive oil or grapefruit oil, in advance of use. Dilute in a a single to 1 ratio. Address three times daily.
I have delt with owning Terrible toe nails due to the fact I used to be A child. in my teenagers it was Awful going to the Beach front with my close friends. I lastly went into a foot Dr and obtained a script for Lamisil tablets. They'd to choose clippings and deliver it on the lab to verify it just before my insurance policies would protect the cost of the Lamisil more info which happens to be mad costly away from pocket. It worked and killed the fungus though took about 8-ten months to own normal nails as they had to develop out, The brand new nails that grew in had been ideal.
Toenail Fungus is principally a result of lousy maintenance of private hygiene. Since the disorder is contagious in nature, any act of sharing own possessions such as sneakers or socks may go within the disorder to the opposite human being.
How to get rid of a nasty toenail fungus infection. Health care treatments, topical anti-fungal medications in addition to home cures to deal with a toenail fungal infection.
This aids your body to eradicate the fungus. Kefir and yoghurt are rich in probiotics. Stay clear of getting refined carbohydrates including dairy goods and sugar. Extract of olive leaf functions being an 'anti-fungal agent' internally.
Laser cure may be used to get rid of nail fungus, however it's pricey, and you will find doubts as as to if it's really efficient. It's not normally coated by insurance coverage.
My feet haven't seemed this fantastic in years and much more importantly my ft haven't felt improved in over a decade.

LCD2USB. Part 2
Till Harbaum
Uploading the firmware
If you are familiar with Atmel programming you probably know what you are doing. The Makefile in lcd2usb/firmware/Makefile assumes, that you are using a simple STK200 compatible printer port adapter.
Connect the assembled device (no display required yet) via USB to the PC. It will not be detected yet, since it doesn't contain the firmware. Connect it via the download cable and the programming adapter to the linux pc with installed uisp tool and type "make fuse; make flash-nodep" to upload the firmware.
If the Makefile doesn't work for you you can also flash the device manually using avrdude and the aforementioned STK200 compatible printer port adapter with the following parameters:
avrdude -c stk200 -p atmega8 -U lfuse:w:0x9f:m -U hfuse:w:0xc9:m -U flash:w:firmware-avrusb.hex
To manually upload the firmware using the usbasp just use the follwing command:
avrdude -c usbasp -p atmega8 -U lfuse:w:0x9f:m -U hfuse:w:0xc9:m -U flash:w:firmware-avrusb.hex
If your are familiar with a different AVR programming system you can of course use that one as well. But you'll probably have to do some minor adjustments in the Makefile.
Protocol description
For simplicity reasons, the LCD2USB interface only uses USB control messages. More efficient and faster bulk transfers are only available to high speed devices. A USB control message for a low speed device consists of exactly 8 Bytes. The first byte indicates the control type and has to be set to a fixed value for vendor specific commands like the LCD2USB is using for its own purposes (non vendor specific commands are e.g. used to request the device name and id etc). The remaining seven bytes are the request type (1 byte), a value (2 bytes), an index (2 bytes) and a length field (2 bytes) for data being transmitted with the control transfer. The LCD2USB protocol does not send extra data, thus the last two bytes should be 0 for compatibility reasons. The remaining four bytes (two bytes value and two bytes index) are left for the data transfer. These are used to transmit up to four data bytes per transfer. Four HD44780 command bytes or four HD44780 data bytes can thus be transferred during one USB transaction.
Details for the request byte
Bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Name C C C T T R L L
The target id has different meaning for the different requests. For command and data transfers it is a two bit bitmap indicating which of the two possible controllers supported by the LCD2USB interface is addressed. Both controllers may be addressed at the same time (e.g. to setup user defined characters).
For set and get operations the target id specifies the value to set or get. Currently supported values are:
set 0 - set brightness
set 1 - set contrast
get 0 - get firmware version (msb = major version, lsb = minor version)
get 1 - get button bitmap
get 2 - get detected controllers
See the testapp source code delivered with the LCD2USB firmware archive for further details.
The LCD2USB interface was originally developed for use with lcd4linux. In the meantime LCD Smartie and LCDProc have been extended to support the LCD2USB as well. The LCD2USB software archives contain a little demo application that can be used as a basis for further LCD2USB ports. Currently Linux, MacOS X and Windows are supported by this application.
Using LCD2USB under Windows
Harald Körfgen wrote a LCD Smartie plugin for LCD2USB finally allowing the LCD2USB to be used under Windows as well. Here's what he writes about his plugin:
LCD2USB-smartie.zip contains all the necessary source files requried to compile the driver with Microsoft ® Windows Server® 2003 R2 Platform SDK, Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition and LibUsb-Win32. LCD2USB.DLL is the resulting file.
In order to use the driver libusb-win32 has also to be installed and the LCD2USB.DLL has to be placed in the "displays" directory of LCD Smartie and it will be auto-detected and automatically be used. He has only tested his driver with a 20x4 display yet, so feedback is welcome.
Problem: The device seems to work fine, it is detected correctly by Linux, but i get various error messages when accessing it from the test application.
Problem: The device is not properly detected. Linux reports an error like "device not accepting address" in the system log but the LCD displays the init message (LCD2USB VXX.XX).
Problem: The device is not properly detected. Linux reports an an error like "device descriptor read/all, error -71" in the system log.
