The information age isn't finished with us.
Here is something that slipped my notice: Blue World Order, a science fiction film in production in Australia. It stars Billy Zane and Jack Thompson and has a release date in early 2016
Directors are Ché Baker, Dallas Bland
In the wake of global thermonuclear war a new government has arisen: the Order. Under the guise of a vaccination against pandemic, the Order has spread a bio-tech virus to control the population. One man is immune to the Order's Virus; his daughter will be the key to survival of mankind.
We will check out reviews when they appear.
Cyberpunk Special: Winter.
We had so much success with the autumn special that we are going quarterly again.
Blade Runner 2 is still scheduled to shoot in summer 2016.
Duncan Jones' Mute has been casting. The clock is ticking on whether it can shoot before the release of Warcraft.
You know, it seems Mute and Blade Runner 2 are a little bit in a race to start first. Mute is kicking it old-school with a look very much like the original Blade Runner. As for the Blade Runner sequel, no-one knows what the plan is: will it meticulously recreate the original look (impractical, and in my mind incredibly expensive), or will it risk the fan's ire by updating everything? Who knows? If Mute starts first it will finish way before BR2, it is a small production that needs to be done before Warcraft opens. If BR2 starts first, even if it finishes last it may well overshadow the smaller production…
Thinking about it there is a way to avoid the long shadow of Ridley Scott's classic, without falling through the cracks. Rumour has surfaced that BR2 is using the abandoned opening from the 1982 film. It starts out in the country.
Work with me here: what if the whole movie is out in the country? It avoids the challenge of meeting the visual achievement of Blade Runner (1) while staying true to the history of the project. So, no megalithic vistas traversed by rising spinners, no wending through the throngs of a future metropolis, yet it is the same future.
Ghost in the Shell has a new screenwriter. Casting continues, they have added Pilou Asbæk as the male lead (film blogs are calling him "Batou," but I suspect all of the names will be changed from the Manga originals.)
It is scheduled to open on March 31, 2017.
Nerverackers is likely dead. There has been no announcement but since Robert Rodriguez is now involved with Battle Angel Alita he has that large scale SF/Fantasy project he has wanted for years and Nerverackers has become surplus to demand.
Talking of Battle Angel Alita, neither Robert Rodriguez nor Cameron are calling it "Cyberpunk", but everyone else is. If it is, it is more Cyberpunk in the vein of Terminator than Neuromancer.
So how do we feel about it? It is full of potential. Rodriguez is strong on action and entertainment, not so much on story, but with Cameron in his corner he should be able to produce the same miracle he pulled off with the Sin City movies. Rodriguez is used to operating in the low-to mid-budget region, Battle Angel Alita may propel him into the big leagues (especially if it is marketed as "James Cameron Presents..") Is Rodriguez up to it? I can't even guess; what I know is that that the Manga presents the possibility of some iconic imagery.
The caveat is that many of the story elements have already been seen at the cinema.
Ah, Neuromancer. No movement at all; since GFM acquired the property in May 2015 there has been no announcement of a release date, a starting date for principle photography, a director or even a screenwriter. So far as the public are concerned the project has once again ground to a halt.
This is curious. The last project foundered under legal problems and questions of casting. With the acquisition, these problems were left behind. So what is the hold up?
Producer Steven Hoban Claims that too many of Neuromancer's elements have been used by others.
Perhaps GFM are only now coming to the same conclusion (remember, film executives can't read..) If so, prospects are poor and GFM's best bet is to play pass the parcel with this particular IP.
And what happened to Rian Johnson's unnamed "cyberpunk" project. I have to feign interest here, I really did not like Looper. Oh yes Johnson is up to his neck in that Star Wars sequel off, I am not even sure which one- no, wait it's Star Wars Episode 8- You will not see him come up for air for years.
Producer Adrian Askarieh claimed he had a big announcement for Deus Ex, that was back in June.
What we know is that Scott Derrickson is out and no new director has been announced. The project was previously at CBs Films but they have let it go.
Askarieh was hoping to set it up with another company.
Since we are still waiting to hear about the new deal I am assuming it all fell through.
There is also no word on any of Laeta Kalogridiss' many projects (Oh yes, they are re-writing her Ghost in the Shell script… and as above Robert Rodriguez is making Battle Angel Alita.)
So we are still waiting to hear word on Altered Carbon and Technotise Edit and I.
(Technotise is especially at risk as its producer is Scott Glassgold, who also failed to bring a whole raft of short-films-to-feature projects to the big screen.)
Both are hard sells; complex science fiction stories packed with ideas. But it might be worthwhile not dumbing down a story for a change.
Thinking about Altered Carbon, it is looking more and more unlikely because of the surfeit of body-swap movies: recently we have had Selfless and The Anomaly and coming up is Second Born, Park Chan-Wook's SF project. What is worst is that by and large these Body-Swap features have not performed.
Am I getting tired of these "No News" items? Hell no! Also without word is Darren Aronofsky production of Nexus. No surprise, Aronofsky takes a leisurely approach to production timetables.
I have now read Ramez Naam's entire trilogy and it is smoking hot.
It is not marketed as "cyberpunk", (heck, it is not even marketed at Science Fiction) but it has all of the hallmarks: information society, technology linked with the human body, an information underground. It is throbbing with potential.
It has also been quiet on the matter of True Skin. There have been other Cyberpunk styled short films picked up for feature development, this one seemed both story oriented and visually inventive. The director Stephan Zlotescu is attempting to independently develop the feature, but prospects do not look good.
This brings to mind the most highly skilled of the indie short-film directors working in the cyberpunk medium; Miguel de Olaso, aka Macgregor. He directed and co-directed the gorgeous shorts KOR-3 and Similo. He was also linked to Law Zero with Bruno Zacarias. Despite rumours and hints that he might be about to make his first feature, nothing has emerged.
2015 End of Year Roundup
2015 was no 2013, but I guess you know that. To many other fans, this will have been an annus mirabilis.
Jurassic World, Terminator Genysis, Hitman: Agent 47, Man From U.N.C.L.E., Fantastic Four, The Force Awakens, a year of reboots and sequels that has delighted the majority of Science Fiction fans who dearly wished to see more of the same.
But who cares about their annus?
On the other hand the films I saw were pretty good.
Ex Machina was a truly intelligent piece of Science Fiction in the traditional sense.
Jupiter Ascending was an underrated epic.
Crimson Peak was an unexpected delight.
And both Marvel movies were entertaining and watchable.
It could have been worse.
My Top Five this year:
Ex Machina
Jupiter Ascending
Mad Max: Fury Road
The Martian
Crimson Peak
Chappie was another delirious entry in a sequence of fresh, new, and risky science fiction ventures by Neil Blomkamp.
And let's not diminish how I feel about Avengers: Age of Ultron, I liked it.
I'd like to say something about Fury Road: a combined sequel and reboot and one of the finest films of the year. Certainly the finest entry of the Mad Max series, a glorious comeback for George Miller, and most of all proof that not every reboot is rubbish.
Mad Max: Fury Road challenges the notion that a reboot has to be a soulless exploitation of the fans, it raises the bar on our exceptions of our favourite titles.
As I look forward I am concerned for the future of genre film. Oh, horror will stay strong, it seems invincible, but Science Fiction is vulnerable to a stubborn attitude in the audience which is biased towards titles with a known name.
It certainly is possible to produced fresh, vibrant cinema from well-warn beginnings, but the likelihood tends to the extremes of tired retread on one hand, and bizarre misinterpretation on the other.
I hate to take pleasure in other people's failure, but perhaps a little schadenfreude is appropriate here.* There has been some light in the tunnel lately. Light signalled by the crashing of Fantastic Four and the desultory performance of Terminator Genysis; the reboot and sequel route is no longer a sure-fire formula for success.
Of course this does not mean they will stop making them, but it will give them enough pause to consider making original films. Especially when original films like The Martian make good money.
However, I expect a couple more dark years before they finally get the point.
2016 is a case in point; it will be another year of reboots and sequels. Let me make a wild swing here, not all of them will be of the high quality of Fury Road.
The number of originals is down. but they are still out there. And I hope to see some of them.

You know you're in for a treat (and plenty of tricks!) when you head to a local "scream park" or come upon acres and acres of scary scenes in a haunted corn maze. Halloween attractions offer more than your typical haunted house. From spooky hayrides to terrifying trails to petrifying paintball games, there is no shortage of diabolical schemes to keep your heart racing and blood pumping. And just when you thought it was safe to take a breather, these harrowing haunts won't let up.
We heard whispers about some of these places, and the screams they elicit sure got our attention. Think about every nightmare you've ever had and every horror movie you've ever seen. Now imagine all of those disturbing characters and chilling scenes in one location. That doesn't even compare to what you'll see at these horrifying places that have each U.S. state talking.

I should know how to do this, but I don't, so you have to go over here to see what I just finished knitting. Elemmaciltur had to take the pictures because I'm still having trouble with my camera. But look! I made some pretty socks! Well, Yarnissima designed them, and the Wollmeise dyed the wool, so yeah, standing on the shoulders of giants and all that. But still, I'm a little bit proud.

Readers who might once have been irritated by the sight of a topless Rob Lowe on the cover of Vanity Fair (the top item in a strong Penny Press week) will, like all right-thinking individuals in the world, instantly recall his fantastic stint as Sam Seaborn on the still-intensely-missed The West Wing and crack a grudging smile instead. Lowe, it appears, has written some kind of book about his various adventures in Hollywood. I haven't checked yet to see if it includes any wistful anecdotes about his tenure on one of the best TV shows of all time; the excerpt in this month's VF is about his much younger days, when he starred in Francis Ford Coppola's "The Outsiders" with a whole team of fellow Hollywood he-boys, all under the watchful gaze of their passionate (and self-evidently insane) director. While it's fun to watch Lowe contort himself to be nice-guy diplomatic rather than outright calling the young Tom Cruise a robotic authority-douche, neither the grossly overpraised book nor the soppy, ham-handed movie has ever interested me, so I quickly roamed away in search of greener pastures.
Luckily, this month's issue had plenty. There was a bitterly, sinus-clearingly angry shout-piece by Joseph Stiglitz about the gigantic gap between the top wealthiest 1 percent of Americans and everybody else. This is by a wide margin the angriest piece I've read in Vanity Fair in many, many years. Stiglitz rehearses the starkest inequities in America's financial landscape:
Economists long ago tried to justify the vast inequalities that seemed so troubling in the mid-19th century - inequalities that are but a pale shadow of what we are seeing in America today. The justification they came up with was called "marginal-productivity theory." In a nutshell, this theory associated higher incomes with higher productivity and a greater contribution to society. It is a theory that has always been cherished by the rich. Evidence for its validity, however, remains thin. The corporate executives who helped bring on the recession of the past three years - whose contribution to our society, and to their own companies, has been massively negative - went on to receive large bonuses. In some cases, companies were so embarrassed about calling such rewards "performance bonuses" that they felt compelled to change the name to "retention bonuses" (even if the only thing being retained was bad performance). Those who have contributed great positive innovations to our society, from the pioneers of genetic understanding to the pioneers of the Information Age, have received a pittance compared to those responsible for the financial innovations that brought our global economy to the brink of ruin.
He ends up sounding a warning to the super-rich that their days might end in a public uprising of a kind not seen in America since Shays' Rebellion - the warning is the only major flaw in the piece. It forgets that sage line from "1776": Most people with nothing would rather protect the possibility of becoming rich than face the reality of being poor." Comparatively few Libyans or Egyptians want to be military despots (I hope, anyway), so they have no ideological restraint in rising up against military despots. But virtually everybody in America - especially every young person - wants to be a plutocratic bastard who can buy a jet but can't quickly recall his kids' names. As long as that's true, the super-rich in the United States have nothing to fear from the common folk they're disinheriting.
After the fire and brimstone of Stiglitz, it was curiously peaceful to wade into Christopher Hitchens' piece on the debt Western society owes to the stately cadences of the King James Bible. It's a piece without surprises (we've read many similar things done on this, the anniversary of the publication of that epochal work), unless its own existence counts - these new long pieces from Hitchens can't help but be viewed as extremely literary progress reports on the state of Hitchens' illness. Encouraging progress reports, since for a while there last year it looked as if he wouldn't be doing much of this kind of work again. I hadn't realized until I saw this piece and his last one just how much I'd miss them if they were gone forever. And it's interesting that he's keeping up with his reading, although I imagine that would be the last thing to go in any case:
The rack and the rope were not stinted for dissenters, and eventually Tyndale himself was tracked down, strangled, and publicly burned. (Hilary Mantel's masterpiece historical novel, Wolf Hall, tells this exciting and gruesome store in such a way as to revise the shining image of "Saint" Thomas More, the "man for all seasons," almost out of existence. High time, in my view. The martyrdoms he inflicted on others were more cruel and irrational than the one he sought and found for himself).
Much less satisfying was James Wolcott's tired screed against superhero movies, which consists of him whining about how loud and confusing they all are, for all the world as if he were a crotchety 90-year-old who just wants the grandkids to settle down:
For all of the tremendous talent involved and the technical ingenuity deployed, superhero movies go at us like death metal: loud, anthemic, convoluted, technocratic, agonistic, fireball-blossoming, scenery-crushing workloads that waterboard the audience with digital effects, World War IV weaponry, rampant destruction, and electrical-flash editing.
This quintessential complaint of the elderly - wanting things to be different from the dictates of their own natures - is unlikely to yield a Bergman superhero movie any time soon; I'll just have to hope that instead Wolcott regains his sense of fun in time for the onslaught he's so correct in predicting.
The New York Review of Books, as always, provides a corrective to that kind of complaining. There's nothing quite as restorative as literary journalism done really, really well, and since I myself gravitate toward all things historical, The NYRB can often get my tail wagging - as in this latest issue, where the indomitable Gordon Wood reviews two books on John and Abigail Adams and Sean Wilentz reviews Edmund Morris' Colonel Roosevelt. Both pieces are thoughtful, detailed, and wonderfully assured, which is tough enough to do when reviewing a contemporary novel that any schmoe off the street might pick up and enjoy ("what's it about" will usually cover 99 % of their readerly needs) and is bloody murder to pull off when writing about history, about which the average reader neither knows nor knows to care. Reviewing works of history is doubly tricky: you've not only got to give your review-readers enough background on the book so they'll appreciate your observations about it, you've also got to give them enough background on all of human history so they'll know what the Hell you're going on about. Both Wood and Wilentz do a great job at this every time they turn out a review - it's an inspiration.
For a straight writer to have a gay hero is highly unusual ...The most famous and successful venture in homosexual ventriloquism by a novelist is still Anthony Burgess's Earthly Powers. I had doubts about the book when it came out in 1980, disliking the easy equation of homosexuality with cowardliness, even though this was an equation accepted by many homosexuals of the generation of Burgess's octogenarian narrator, Kenneth Toomey. Terrence Rattigan was surprised to find during the war that he was brave in an ordinary way. Out of this realisation came his interest in such non-cowardly homosexuals as T. E. Lawrence and Alexander the Great.
Wilson was running the risk of having his novels labelled sordid and unwholesome. Awkward breakfast-table conversations were on the cards, with the brigadier's wife saying brightly, 'Doesn't he do all those spivs and pouffs well?' and her husband muttering: 'Damn sight too well, if you ask me.' If he had put more homosexual reality into the book [Anglo-Saxon Attitudes], it would either have been rejected by publishers or else approached by reviewers with gas masks, pomanders and tongs.

Wall has been repainted, and picture put up. I went with the three up, and over. Kind of a pain, but I like it. Thank-you Mark
We babysat Saturday and Sunday, the kids were great for the most part. I stapled some leftover material from a wedding on the old dressing table. The grand saw it and claimed it for her own. Three years old and she spent two hours arranging, playing, and make-uping in the back bedroom. She would have stayed longer but the aroma of my new bottle of "romance" cologne permeated the air. We moved to the kitchen to make cupcakes. If I was a very bad model of hats, I will show you a good one. Audrey tried on all the hats and was camping up a little. She picked the purple flower one for her own. Hope everyone has a great week, and spring is really here.

BotNets part of terrorist networks? Uhhh….
Bruce Schneier has a brilliant little piece on how the government is fearmongering script kiddy networks. BotNets are basically compromised computers by spyware or virus, that are used in DoS attacks and distribute spam.
From the Independent:
Once a criminal has gathered together what is known as a "herd" of bots, the combined computing power can be dangerous. "If you want to break the nuclear launch code then set a million computers to work on it. There is now a danger of nation state attacks," says Dr Tippett. "The vast majority of terrorist organisations will use bots."
Cracking nuclear codes? Come on. They would have an easier time peddling Cialis.
Bruce says:
I keep reading that last sentence, and wonder if "bots" is just a typo for "bombs." And the line about bot networks being used to crack nuclear launch codes is nothing more than fearmongering.
As always, listen to Bruce.

As Mark began to speak, his mother was unsure if he was talking to her, or to himself, his eyes still maintaining their distant look. "We had all retired for the night, and I must have drifted off to sleep. I was wakened by the sound of hushed voices and footfall on the steps leading down from the upper room. I drew back the covering from my doorway and looked out to see a group of figures crossing the courtyard and heading out into the night. Jesus was leaving! As I watched, some others from among his followers who had been sleeping in the courtyard got up and left with him. I stepped across my room to find my linen outer garment, shrugged it over my head and then looked for my undergarments." A faint, almost bitter smile flashed across his face, as he looked directly into his mother's eyes. "But where were they? A quick glance around the room did not reveal them and – concerned that I wouldn't be able to find my friends – I just strapped on my sandals, ran across the courtyard and out into the street. I was just in time to see Philip and Andrew turn a corner, and sprinted down the road to catch up with them." He lifted the wine cup to his lips before continuing.
"The group was quiet when I reached them, a few speaking in low voices. Jesus was leading them, striding purposefully through the Upper City. I tagged along at the rear, wondering where we could be going at this time of night. We passed through the Lower City, crossed the Kidron Valley and took the road out to the Mount of Olives. I could see Thomas just ahead and lengthened my stride until I was walking beside him. "Where are we going?" I asked him quietly. "I'm not sure," he replied. He gestured towards Jesus. "The master did not say." Mark reached across to take his mother's hand. "I remember asking him if everything had been satisfactorily prepared for their Passover meal. You were so concerned that everything would be just right." "Yes," his mother smiled. "Your father and I considered it a great honor that the Master trusted us to host them – and to keep secret their coming back into the city. Do you remember the 'secret sign'?" It was Mark's turn to smile – though fondly, this time. "Yes. I'm still amazed that pitcher of water didn't fall off my head and smash before Peter and John found me. I brought them back and you took them up to the guest room." "Yes," said Miryam. "They were very gracious, said everything was in order, and I left them to make their preparations." Her forehead wrinkled in a frown. "But when I came down, you and your brothers were arguing in the courtyard." "That we were," said Mark, and his brow furrowed at the memory.
"I was excited that we were hosting Jesus and the twelve – such an honor for our family. But Benyamin and Daniel did not share that excitement." "No," said Miryam, "No, they did not. I first asked Benyamin to carry the water jar through the streets, but he refused outright. 'That is women's work,' he said, before spinning on his heels and walking away. If that had been the real reason, I could have pressed him and he might have done it." "But," said Mark, "that wasn't the reason, was it?" "No. It wasn't," his mother replied. "His friends' fathers had made it very clear to him that people who knew what was good for them would keep their distance from – how did they put it? – oh yes, that 'upstart, rabble-rousing rabbi from Galilee.'" She shook her head sadly. "And Benyamin still maintains that distance to this day."
"And Daniel," said Mark. "What was his reason for refusing his mother's request?" Miryam smiled. "Besides being sixteen you mean? He gave the same answer as his older brother about it being women's work, but Daniel meant it. He burned with revolutionary zeal even then, and the daily tasks of life were unimportant compared to 'the cause.' Especially if those tasks were normally assigned to women." Mark held his mother's gaze before saying, "And he still burns with that zeal, doesn't he?" As she pictured that fresh-faced boy, and the hardened man he had become, her smile slipped away. "Yes he does. I do not see as much of him as I might like. I know there is blood on his hands…and he knows that I know, and what I think of that. And so he keeps his distance, for the most part." She leaned across to cup her oldest son's face in her hands. "My three sons. You look so alike, yet you are so very different. But I love you all."
"I know you do," said Mark. "You always have. I wish that were also true for us. But in many ways it was that night when the love we shared truly began to wane." And his eyes became distant once more…

lexapro and weed anxiety lexapro and weed reddit click tadalafil generico in farmacia tadalafil online extrageek.com Corruption undermines democracy and rule of law, it hurts the poor, leads to violations of human rights, feeding inequality and injustice.
Commission of Integrity of Kurdistan Region as a special commission that established within law and it aims to confront corruption, because of not having personal and incorporeal abilities only in Erbil, Sulaimani and Duhok has special directorates and staff for implementing its duties it means commission of Integrity of Kurdistan Region has no offices in almost half of Kurdistan Region for implementing its duties.
Recently published its report of 2016 and we want to clarify some of the following points:
1-Corruption as a terrible disease in Kurdistan Region has its existence without differentiation in districts and governorates, the more or less of corruption is linked to exceeding of official institutions and the amount of those budgets that devoted to.
It means that all the information that we have about having corruption its only apart that exists in reality.
2-We will publish all information and lawsuits according to law we will record all information even if the issue was administration disobedience after compilation and will be treated according to its specialties. Many times we will receive lots information about one subject.
3-Chairman of commission didn't mention any governorates which has more corruption from one another while interviewing with Rudaw which is made as transverse headline only data's were presented contrarily punishment and news teller lawsuits in Erbil in some cases is less than Sulaimani and Duhok and sometimes were close to each other, the statistic of punishment and news teller lawsuits in three governorates for 2016 is as the following ways:
News teller lawsuit punishment lawsuits
Erbil 54 51
Sulaimani 70 70
Duhok 70 70
Transferred lawsuits for courts
Erbil 9
Sulaimani 10
Duhok 33
Now the number of punishment lawsuits that remained is as the following ways:
Punishment lawsuit
Erbil 65
Sulaimani 51
Duhok 22
Those numbers keeps getting change and apart of this punishment lawsuits will transferred from governorates to Erbil according to this capital and ministries that has according to place specialties or will shut down with the decision of investigation judges of Integrity.
4-According the cooperation of commission of Integrity this commission established with law and without cooperation of official institutions cannot be able to implement its duties that's why from presidency of Kurdistan Region continuously send information and data about corruption within appreciation last year they send (100) files of corruption for us and cooperate us personally and incorporeally even Region government, Parliament, Jurisdiction, Council of Financial observation, General prosecutors, Organizations of Civil Society and media all of them were cooperate us in process of Anti-Corruption.

Bram van Ginneken is Professor of Medical Image Analysis at Radboud University Medical Center. Since 2010, he is co-chair of the Diagnostic Image Analysis Group. He also works for Fraunhofer MEVIS in Bremen, Germany, and is a founder of Thirona, a company that develops software and provides services for medical image analysis. Bram studied Physics at the Eindhoven University of Technology and at Utrecht University. In 2001, he obtained his Ph.D. at the Image Sciences Institute on Computer-Aided Diagnosis in Chest Radiography. He has (co-)authored close to 200 publications in international journals. He is Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging and member of the Editorial Board of Medical Image Analysis. He pioneered the concept of challenges in medical image analysis.
The field of analyzing medical images with computers started in the early 1960s and for half a century the goal of achieving automated analysis at the level of human experts (radiologists, pathologists, ophthalmologists, etc) remained elusive. This has changed in the last few years with the adoption of deep learning. I will give an overview of the key methodological approaches in image and lesion detection, classification, and segmentation, and illustrate the rapid progress that has been made with various recent results. Next, generative modeling techniques will be introduced and I will discuss how automated analysis systems for medical images can be made more robust with such approaches. In the final part of my lecture, I discuss the implications of these exciting developments for diagnostic medicine in the next decade.

Michal Irani is a Professor at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel, in the Department of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics. She received a B.Sc. degree in Mathematics and Computer Science from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science from the same institution. During 1993-1996 she was a member of the Vision Technologies Laboratory at the Sarnoff Research Center (Princeton). She joined the Weizmann Institute in 1997. Michal's research interests center around computer vision, image processing, and video information analysis. Michal's prizes and honors include the David Sarnoff Research Center Technical Achievement Award (1994), the Yigal Allon three-year Fellowship for Outstanding Young Scientists (1998), the Morris L. Levinson Prize in Mathematics (2003), and the Maria Petrou Prize (awarded by the IAPR) for outstanding contributions to the fields of Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (2016). She received the ECCV Best Paper Award in 2000 and in 2002, and was awarded the Honorable Mention for the Marr Prize in 2001 and in 2005. In ICCV 2017 Michal received the Helmholtz "Test of Time Award".
In this talk I will show how complex visual inference tasks can be performed in a totally unsupervised way, by exploiting the internal redundancy inside a single visual datum (whether an image or a video). The strong recurrence of information inside a single image/video provides powerful internal examples which suffice for self-supervision, without any prior examples or training data. I will show the power of this approach through a variety of problems, ranging from low-level to high-level vision tasks. I will further show how this approach gives rise to a new paradigm: "Deep Internal Learning".
Brief Bio
Davide Maltoni is a Full Professor at University of Bologna (Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering - DISI), and President of DISI unit in Cesena. His research interests are in the area of Pattern Recognition, Computer Vision, Machine Learning and Computational Neuroscience. Davide Maltoni is co-director of the Biometric Systems Laboratory (BioLab), which is internationally known for its research and publications in the field. Several original techniques have been proposed by BioLab team for fingerprint feature extraction, matching and classification, for hand shape verification, for face location and for performance evaluation of biometric systems. Davide Maltoni is co-author of the Handbook of Fingerprint Recognition published by Springer, 2009 and holds three patents on Fingerprint Recognition. He has been elected IAPR (International Association for Pattern Recognition) Fellow 2010.
The feasibility of creating double-identity biometrics (faces, fingerprints and iris) poses serious security threats in security applications such as automated border control where biometrics are used to link the identity of a passenger to his/her e-document. For example, if a morphed face, which is similar enough to the biometric features of two subjects, can be included in an e-passport, then two persons can share it. From the pattern recognition point of view creating/detecting double-identity biometrics is particularly intriguing and can help understanding/overcoming some limitations of current state-of-the-art approaches.

Creating cartoon videos takes a lot of effort in designing the characters and, in particular, their facial expressions. The expressions of a character convey its emotional state to the audience and are critical to the full understanding of the film. Our work attempts to automate this process using machine learning. We begin with human expressions derived from images or videos. We transfer human expressions to cartoon character expressions on multiple characters either in 2D or 3D. The expressions we produce must be perceptually valid including both clarity and intensity and must be geometrically correct. To do this we use a deep learning approach that learns the parameters of perceptually and geometrically correct expressions. Our work can be applied to storytelling, film production, virtual and augmented reality, and to helping teach expression conveyance to autistic children.

Last year, a number of people (including me) had an extra 16 mile round trip down the A42 prior to finding their way to Donington – I somehow manage to emerge from a set of traffic lights on my way back and neatly fell into the convoy in colour coordinated order – I think it was Steve who let me in.
Could someone familiar with the area give us a blow by blow account on how to avoid an action replay – you won't be able to over simplify it.

Ryan Harrison lost his wife in a plane crash five years ago. To cope with the pain of her loss, he dedicated himself to his job and to raising their daughter. Now a successful pharmaceutical executive, Ryan has everything a man could want—money, fame and power—but he'd give it all up in a heartbeat for just one more day with the woman he still loves.
As Kate begins to dig into a past she doesn't remember, evidence leads her to San Francisco and puts her on the path toward Ryan, a man who sees in her the woman he loved and lost. Kate feels a draw to Ryan, one she can't explain, but is that feeling enough to convince her this is where she's supposed to be? As Ryan and Kate search for answers, they uncover lies long buried, a passion hotter than either expected and a danger that threatens…even now…when the second chance they've both been searching for is finally within reach.
Comment: I heard about this book a long time ago. A friend had recommended it to me, I added it up to my TBR list but only in the past months did I manage to actually buy it. I had plans to read it in the past month but I failed, so I put it on first for November.
This is the story of Kate Alexander, a woman who finds out by chance that her life has been a lie. After the death of her husband to an plane accident, she discovers in a locked drawer the picture of a young girl, someone who has to be her daughter. But how can that be, Kate has even been on a come and had her only son while linked to machines...Kate then embarks on an adventure to look for answers and she finds surprise after surprise...
But those who wanted Kate out of the way won't stop now that she came back again...
I enjoyed reading this book. The writing is fluid and easy and it's not a too lengthy book, which makes it easy for us to go through. The story is well described and it was interesting to have a different take on the author's writing because I had only read her PNR stories. This was quite well accomplished, although certain situations seemed too rushed...which is understandable, considering the plot need to move forward.
This book is based on the premise of a specific type of amnesic problem that only allows the heroine to remember things but not her memories attached to it, so she knows a lot about geology and can write/speak about it, but she doesn't remember where she learned it or who was with her, so on... Then the twist, which makes this a suspense story as well, is that she does remember one or two things , she sees a picture that makes her realize some dates and events don't match up to her memories since she woke from her coma. From there she discovers shocking things and goes on looking for the truth. I liked seeing the path she took to find answers but yes, she stumbled on the truth a little too soon I think. I understand the need but I felt a little bit more technique could have been used to make us imagine more time had been gone from her fist idea something was wrong until she found the truth.
The truth is quite complex and what's behind everything is contemporary but still hard to accept. Weird things happen in the world every day so it's not the facets of Kate's coma that made me doubt certain things, but the whys and hows.
Kate had a previous life before her come and despite all the advance in the technology she still managed to stay under the radar and no one knew where or how she was.
There's some complexity here, like I said, and the most interesting aspect of the book is the relationships between the characters. Dealing with such a situation must be complicated and if we add emotional baggage...I fully expected things to keep on being stressful between everyone, al of those missed dates , expectations and comparisons between who Kate is and who she used to be, all this is truly interesting. Of course, the book couldn't go on forever so in a way, there is some rush but overall, I was glad by how things turned out.
The secondary characters are quite interesting, I'm very curious about the next book.
The relationship between Kate and her children is awkward. Obviously it wouldn't be credible if all happened positively but I also think this wasn't addressed as well as it could. It should be a priority I suppose, even more so than Kate and Ryan's relationship.
The romance felt something pushed in front of us, but of course, this is a romance book a lack of romance, even if realistic, would have annoyed many and this is not mainstream fiction after all.
The final explanations about why everything happened seem rather weak. I can understand how anger and need for revenge feed up a behavior usually no one would go into, but still...
I'd have welcomed an epilogue as well, so better cement how everyone is after such a trial.
Still, overall, this is a positive book, one I rushed into reading, couldn't put down and little details aside, was quite entertaining. I'll read more by the author!
Grade: 8/10

Financial intermediation is the act of collecting savings (and perhaps other funds) by financial institutions and the rechanneling of these funds to borrowers for financing investments. There are financial institutions in both the organized and unorganized sectors of money and capital markets in developing countries. For the purpose of this study, however, the analysis will be limited to the role of financial intermediation in promoting savings in the organized markets. This is not to deny the importance of financial institutions in unorganized markets, but for them the availability of data is less, and, furthermore, the institutions in the unorganized sector are not always financial intermediaries.

I like Grant Morrison's take on Batman. it captures the fun of Batman and Robin and still feels dangerous. I liked this collection except for the last chapter or issue that winds up the story in a way I don't like. No spoilers from me, though.
Not a book to read alone as the two prior books by Morrison (Batman and Son & The Black Glove) are necessary in order to understand a lot of what's happening.That being said its a wonderful (although somewhat convoluted) story, if you take your time with the story there is no reason why you shouldn't enjoy it. Also includes "Last Rites" at the end which takes place during Final Crisis which is one of the best Batman stories I have ever read.

It's not what it sounds like. The N.C. Women's Political Caucus is sponsoring a campaigning event tomorrow for candidates at the YWCA on Park Road from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Local and statewide candidates have been invited. For 15 minutes you can ask them what you want in a small group setting and get at the issues you are interested in.
Organizers have extended a special invitation to Mecklenburg Board of Commissioner District 3 candidates hoping to replace Valerie Woodard, who died earlier this month from a blood disorder. This is the first (and possibly only) candidate forum held before the Mecklenburg County Democratic Party Executive Committee meets Monday, Oct. 20 for a special election to fill the seat.
The Charlotte Observer reported that George Dunlap expects to be nominated for the post and that John Crawford, founder of the Charlotte Housing Authority Scholarship Fund, said he would consider it as well.
About three hours ago, Dwayne Collins, announced in an e-mail that he's seeking the spot. He has an advantage, it appears: he's been endorsed by Woodard's widower, William "Pop" Woodard. Now chairman of the Black Political Caucus, Collins since 2002 had managed Woodard's political campaigns.
Collins says in the statement that he wants to continue Woodard's legacy, including increasing the visibility of the HIV/AIDS Task Force; ensuring that a fair share of county contracts go to minority contractors; and pushing to have a new park in District 3's Briarwood community named in Woodard's honor.

The Boutique
Miami based brick and mortar and online shop offering an edited mix of fashion, objects and unique finds. We feature local and international artists and designers with design driven pieces that reflect our focus on quality, originality, beauty and function.
The Designer
Gittit Szwarc is the designer behind Knobbly, a multidisciplinary studio focusing on jewelry and artist collaborations. She is self taught and her genius is expressed in every detail. Gittit's expansive background in mathematics, psychology, martial arts and movement were the unique steps that took her towards design. Through this, her interest in jewelry focuses on the way it interacts with the human form: the way it will look on the wearer from an angle, how it'll move when they move, how it relates to the natural lines of their face, collarbone and torso. All of these aspects come together when each piece is handmade from locally-sourced materials in their studio. The outcome: beautiful, one-of-a-kind art.

Short run day, a little bit of warm up, then out and back to the gate followed by 10x25 second strides with 50 second easy jog between. I did not get below 6:00 on the first two but the remaining 8 were between 5:13 and 5:54. One of them did have 4:54 for "best pace". I don't think I have ever run a 400m at faster than 1:15 (only tried once a long time ago). Might make me go faster if I try and break my record. Running these strides usually makes my "easy run" pace a little bit faster the next day.

For today's run, I ran out to the new park, ran two laps around the lake there and then ran back home. When I got to the lake I did not look at my pace while running, but decided to run the first lap at about the pace I had just been running, and then beat the pace on the second lap. After I got home, saw that I ran the first lap at 8:23 pace and the second lap at 7:12.
Last mile was at 7:25.

Ran from my house to Starkey Blvd, stopping at the little church, then ran out and back just past the bridge a little bit. When I woke up I didn't think it was going to be this cool and it felt even cooler than I thought it would. I brought a gel with me and a 10 oz water bottle. The water bottle had a small leak in it which squirted out a tiny stream of water when I squeezed it, so upon learning this new fact I stopped squeezing the water bottle. First two miles were slower, then third mile was 8:29, then I got going a little faster with the next 5 going from 7:57 down to 7:21.
I had decided to not do my fast mile on my way down Starkey Blvd. However, as I approached back to my neighborhood I started going faster and was at about a 7:00 pace. The gate was closed almost shut so I had to stop and open it, so my pace dropped but there was still time to make it up. So, I did and finished the last mile 6:43. But, I wasn't trying to do a fast mile and I didn't have that feeling that I was going all out and taxing myself. It felt like an old feeling of fitness returning. I've been running some different things and trying to make each run a little different and throwing in some challenges and it might be working.
3.33 mi, 27:32, 8:16 avg
Short run to get something in and wanted to run it not too slow. Last mile 7:36 pace, and final 0.33 at 7:04 pace. Ran from my house to a little bit past the water fountain on the golf course (but I haven't actually gotten to use that fountain in quite some time other than as a landmark to run a 3ish mile run).
Did not get to run this morning.
In the afternoon, went to watch Thomas run in the divisional championships. He ran the 1600m and 3200m, running sub-5:00 in the 1600 and was less than 1 second behind one of his teammates he's been trying to catch up to this season. Glad I was able to make it watch the meet.
6.0 mi, 46:12, 7:42 avg
Ran on the treadmill at the Palm Harbor Y. I was surprised to find that their new treadmills are capable of -3 degree decline. Played around with speed and incline, with a lot of downhill running, then switching to brief uphills. No splits because it was on the treadmill, but after an easy warmup I kept it faster than 8:00 pace with some sections between 6:45 and 7:15.
Got in a lot of steps helping Jessica to pack up her house, getting ready to move all of it to a new Palm Harbor house closer to her kids schools and without the restrictive HOA (still has an HOA, just much less restrictive). I'll keep the Trinity house, but hopefully I can do less back and forth now.

National Women's Health provides neonatal healthcare services for all newborn babies. For those who have a relatively easy arrival, this involves encouraging skin-to-skin contact with you immediately following birth, helping to establish breastfeeding, administration of Vitamin K and care of your newborn. For babies who arrive prematurely, or have serious health problems, we have New Zealand's leading Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). If you need more information on a specific topic please go to the A - Z Fact Sheets section.
For some cultures, the placenta (whenua) has special significance. After the birth of your baby, we will ask if you want the placenta. If you do, it must be taken home immediately by your partner or a friend, because we don't have suitable storage facilities at National Women's Health. If you don't want to take the placenta home, the hospital will arrange for its disposal.
Following the birth of your baby, provided you and your baby are well, you will be encouraged to enjoy skin-to-skin contact. This provides many benefits, including:
The World Health Organization recommends that babies are breastfed exclusively for their first six months of life. Many studies have shown that breast milk promotes brain development and protects the infant against diseases.
National Women's is a Baby Friendly Hospital, which means that breastfeeding is fully supported on the wards. While you and your baby are learning about breastfeeding, you can ask for assistance and advice from midwives and the ward nurses. If you need more specialised help, we can arrange for you to meet with a lactation consultant.
The best preparation for breastfeeding is knowledge. Hopefully you will have learned about breastfeeding during your pregnancy. If not, our midwifery staff will support you to breastfeed. We also have helpful written information available on the ward and at our information centre in the atrium area of Level 9.
Once you and your baby are at home, ongoing advice and support for your choice of feeding is available from your midwife or LMC and local Plunket nurse. If you are planning to return to work, you are entitled by law to a safe place in your workplace to breastfeed or express milk for your baby.
Getting to know your baby and bonding with him/her in the early days sets the foundations for life. That's why we will encourage you to 'room in' with your baby, rather than use the nursery on the ward.
The majority of women who have just given birth feel emotionally and physically tender. Your body is likely to be sore and tired, but your heart is open to the tiny individual who was so recently part of you. It's easy to feel overwhelmed, especially when you're receiving differing advice from family, friends and health professionals, all of whom think that their advice is correct! Remember, you will probably know instinctively what will suit you and your baby.
If your baby needs special attention in the neonatal unit (NICU), our staff will support and help you to visit your baby as much as possible. Sometimes you are ready for discharge before your baby, and this will mean that you will have to visit the hospital daily for feeding, cuddles and advice on caring for your new baby.
Our NICU looks after babies born to parents in Central Auckland. Babies who are born at less than 32 weeks gestation and who live in West Auckland and North Auckland will also be cared for in our NICU until they are well enough to be transferred back to their local hospital. In addition to looking after Auckland's new arrivals, we provide NICU care for sick and/or premature babies from other New Zealand regions when required.
NICU is also the referral centre for babies who need paediatric cardiology services, neonatal surgery or treatment for complex metabolic diseases.
For more information about when you and your baby will be transferred back to your local hospital, take a look at this information sheet: NICU at Auckland City Hospital.
Level 3 NICU cares for babies who need full ventilation, are born at less than 30 weeks or who require intensive care support.
Level 2 NICU cares for babies who need CPAP (continuous positive airways pressure) therapy, intravenous fluids and antibiotics. Depending on their needs, babies requiring Level 2 services may be transferred back to North Shore Hospital or Waitakere Hospital for care closer to home.
Parent-Infant Nursery is an area for low-dependency Level 2 babies. The focus here is on preparing the baby and family for discharge.

THINK ABOUT IT #24: Otto Rank
The struggle of the artist against the art-ideology, against the creative impulse and even against his own work also shows itself in his attitude towards success and fame; these two phenomena are but an extension, socially, of the process which began subjectively with the vocation and creation of the personal ego to be an artist. In this entire creative process, which begins with self-nomination as artist and ends in the fame of posterity, two fundamental tendencies –– one might almost say, two personalities of the individual –– are in continual conflict throughout: one wants to externalize itself in artistic creation, the other in ordinary life –– in brief, mortal man versus the immortal soul of man.

Brenda SeabornComplementary Health Practitioner01206 512280
A very relaxing and informative session-highlighting key areas to focus and improve upon. Thanks!
Continue Reading
Categories: Testimonials
I felt that reflexology throughout my pregnancy with my twins, was my special time, where Brenda was able to help me relax and take time out from the world.Brenda was able to show me the continuing growth of my babies by observing a bump on the inside of my foot, which grew and changed throughout the pregnancy. She was also kind enough to photograph the changes for me so that I could keep them as a memento with my scan photos.In time, I learnt where the babies were sitting depended on where in my foot she could perform reflexology and how sometimes they would move out of the way and allow her to relax different parts of my body when necessary.With all the relaxing hormones in my muscles and bones, occasionally my pelvis would twist and one of my legs would be shorter; Brenda used her extensive skills to straighten me out which eased the considerable aches and pains this caused. She was also able to relax me enough to help me cope with the changes in my pregnancy hormones and this helped to moderate the severity of my mood swings.Brenda was also able to explain to me the 'Pelvic Measurement' on my foot which gave me an indication of how much space there would be for delivery, if I was to have a natural birth. It also indicated when my pelvis was out of alignment.It was later determined by my specialist, that the twins would be delivered by a C-section and Brenda helped me come to terms with the disappointment I felt about that. She did ask at my consultation what my plan A, B and C was for birthing and we talked about each one in turn and it really helped with the transition from one plan to another. I would have to have a C-section to birth my babies and that is what was best for all of us.Brenda was kind and professional when she suspected I had an infection and immediately called my Mum to drive me home and waited whilst we called the midwife for further advice and testing. Which proved to be positive.I found the reflexology throughout the pregnancy very relaxing and calming and I would recommend maternity reflexology with Brenda to anyone.
Brenda is very professional at her job, she takes a thorough consultation and really gets to know you. She is very calm and peaceful and puts you at ease very quickly. I had reflexology today and cant believe I've waited 8 years to get round to having this treatment. It felt brilliant, what a feeling, I can hardly describe how relaxed I felt both during and after the treatment. I would recommend you visit Brenda for a treatment and can't wait for my next visit.
I had reflexology with Brenda today and I cannot quite explain it but I feel like I am walking taller, my back feels more relaxed and I feel like I found out a bit about myself. Brenda is so personable in the way that she gets to know who you are in a non-judgemental friendly way and finds out whats causing the stresses and pains. Your feet tell your life story, Brenda just got me, she understood. I am very much looking forward to my next appointment.
I last had a Reiki treatment with Brenda when I was just a small boy and it helped me from having horrendous ear pain, so I thought I would visit again today, as I have been extremely stressed. After the treatment it felt like I have had a huge weight lifted off my shoulders, can't begin to describe how good it felt, really good actually."Brenda is a really good practitioner, very calm and soft in her approach and took really good care of me. Thank you"
I cannot thank Brenda enough for bringing me back to life. I was on the brink of giving up completely. I had EFT to start with followed by a course of reflexology. I feel more confident to carry on with life. Brenda's is a down to earth, warm person, with a big heart. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this lovely lady. Thank you so much Brenda.
I had my first ever reiki session yesterday and Brenda was the perfect choice of practitioner. She was calm, friendly and made me feel as though I'd known her forever. Would definitely recommend her to anyone else who needs that little bit extra understanding .Thank you Brenda,x
I have been having maternity reflexology sessions with Brenda, it's an hour to just relax and rest with relaxing music.
Somehow it just makes you relax with very subtle pressures on your feet, feeling very sleepy afterwards. It somehow makes you feel more balanced and definitely less stressed and relaxed which is wonderful for both you and baby.
This time is very special to make time for yourself and to rest before baby arrives, I especially love it as am not very good at sitting still and have a toddler to run around after.
Brenda also takes a picture of your feet to show how baby bump is growing on your feet which is a wonderful record to have and keep.
I have booked up my sessions right up until the end of my pregnancy, I have read on the internet that it can help with faster healing times post c-section which is great for me as I have to have one this time.
I would thoroughly recommend these sessions to anyone who is pregnant and especially with Brenda who is lovely and always takes time to listen to how you are before the session to see if anything needs working on.
"Wonderful practitioner wonderful person ..very gifted and seems to know you better than you know yourself."
"Just recently business has been quite tough,I've been totally washed out,..I've worked some business with Brenda on a few occasions and obviously was aware of her professional practice.Well, last week Brenda rung and asked for a service call on a window that she had fitted a few years ago, obviously I arranged for the service call to take place, while we were chatting Brenda said that I sounded flat, obviously she knows me only to well,.She said why don't I have some treatment at her practice I agreed it might do me some good.We arranged the meeting and... " my god " I jumped in my car and felt calmer andReady to work again in a positive frame of mind!.A lovely afternoon, well worth the investment!.So, thank you Brenda. x"

LONDON,UK, (16th May, 2018) – A NHS employee and youth club leader has driven away a new Nissan LEAF, after winning a competition run by leading automotive magazine Auto Express.
Ian Bryant, 49, of Wraysbury near Windsor, was presented with the keys to a pearl black 40kWh LEAF at West Way Hanwell, West London. Ian will also have a PodPoint home charging unit fitted at his family home for the year-long prize.
Ian will be using the LEAF for his daily commute to the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital — where he is Deputy Director of IT — as well as providing transport to youngsters at the youth club he runs twice a month.
"I've never owned an electric vehicle before and I'm really excited to get started, although I am anticipating the lack of any noise is going to take some getting used to!" Ian said. "It's a very cool car and I expect the youth club will be impressed!
"I commute around 30 miles a day, and as I said in my competition entry, if this car can work for me and my lifestyle, it'll work for everyone."
Auto Express editor-in-chief Steve Fowler, who presented the keys, said; "I'm actually really jealous of Ian as he drives away the new Nissan LEAF — it's a fantastic car and one of the most popular with our readers. We're delighted for him though and hope he has a great year of driving ahead."
To find out more about the new Nissan LEAF, which is priced from £25,190 (including government grant) — a 100% electric vehicle with innovations including e-Pedal, ProPilot driver assistance technology and the NissanConnect EV app — visit www.nissan.co.uk

KNOXVILLE (Oct. 17, 2014) – With a roster consisting of one junior, two sophomores and two freshmen, the ETSU women's golf team knew there may be growing pains this season. After the first round of the Mercedes-Benz Intercollegiate at the Cherokee Country Club, the Buccaneers were working hard on the driving range late into the afternoon to learn and improve from the day's results.
While junior Vivienne Chin (Kota Kinabalu, Sabah Malaysia) and redshirt freshman Dominika Czudkova (Cesky Tesin, Czech Republic) posted team-best scores of 77 and 78, respectively, on Friday afternoon, no other ETSU player carded a score in the 70s and the Bucs struggled to a tie for 13th after first round play at the event hosted by the University of Tennessee. The Bucs posted a team score of 317 and finished tied with Penn State and Chattanooga on the 16-team leaderboard.
In the team competition, Kent State fired a team score of 289 to hold a four-stroke lead over second place Louisville. Individually, Furman's Taylor Totland – who is currently ranked No. 14 in the country – is leading the event at 1-under-par 70, while a trio of players tied for second at even par.
For the day, Chin finished tied for 47th, while Czudkova tied for 53rd. Other ETSU results included a tie for 71st by sophomores Rachel Pollock (Guelph, Ontario, Canada) and Linda Dobele (Ogre, Latvia), along with a tie for 81st by freshman Allyson Dunn (Kingsport).
The Bucs will continue with second round play in Knoxville on Saturday, followed by third and final round action on Sunday. For more on ETSU women's golf throughout the 2014-15 season, visit ETSUBuccs.com and click on the women's golf link.

Designer of many tatting patterns. Simple method of beaded tatting. Flowers are my inspiration!
Monday, 12 May 2008
The story so far!
This is the gladiolus development so far.
I have made one large set of petals and one set slightly smaller. I have designed the buds and the calyx.
I just need to make a couple more buds and calyxes and then I can assemble the whole flower.
This flower has been quite challenging but I have managed to create each petal and calyx with one "throw". The only C & T (cut and tie) is at the end of each petal/calyx.

This summer Studio 3 took a trip to The Yorkshire Sculpture Park to explore the work of internationally renowned leading sculptor, Not Vital and his first major exhibition in the UK. The group studied his work in the Underground Gallery, Garden Gallery and Open Air as well as longer term pieces by Magdalena Abakanowicz and Sophie Ryder.
The sun shone intermittently for us, but giving us enough time to enjoy a cup of tea in the sunshine as we planned our route around the park.
These trips are important as they often inspire members work and open up spaces which can sometimes feel out of reach for some of our group. As we walked around the park we discussed where we'd like to go for the next trip. Ideas include the Hepworth Gallery and Morrocco!

As the newest member of President Donald Trump's legal team, former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani shocked the nation after he admitted Trump repaid lawyer Michael Cohen for a $130,000 payment to pornstar Stormy Daniels.
Fox News' Geraldo Rivera says that payout is insignificant to the $375,000 fine President Barack Obama paid for failing to list donors in his 2008 campaign.

Fox News has more:
President Barack Obama's 2008 campaign has been fined $375,000 by the Federal Election Commission for reporting violations related to a set of donations received during the final days of the campaign.
The fines are among the largest ever levied on a presidential campaign by the FEC and stem from a series of missing filings for nearly 1,200 contributions totaling nearly $1.9 million. Campaigns are required to file the reports during the final weeks of the campaign.
Newsmax has more:
Obama campaign spokeswoman Katie Hogan said the 2008 campaign had more than 3 million donors and "the very few outstanding questions have now all been resolved."
Once again, the liberal media double standard is working overtime.

In the new world of packet RAN's, proving that the packet synchronisation has been correctly engineered when commissioning or setting up the base station becomes more difficult. Additionally how can faults be quickly and efficiently isolated when the traditional NTU (Network Terminating Unit) is no longer in place?
Where a Next Generation base station has an inbuilt 1588-2008 or NTP based "client" the Chronos tools can both verify sync. performance in the 'packet domain' and the 'frequency or bits domain'.
"1588 technology may now be proven as a technology but making it easy to deploy and support, has still to be fully addressed. Chronos' SyncWatch technology is an ideal base station installation and support tool. It (SyncWatch) is very flexible and the ROI is expected to be very short."
Representative of a global base station manufacturer
