The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. John 12:23-26This is part of the gospel for this week. It is the story thing John records before moving into the crucifixion account in John 13. The homily we heard on it was about doing better morally and trying to make some incremental improvement in your life. It struck me how that is not at all what Jesus says here. Jesus call for a dying and rising. That is a radical change. It does not describe making a effort at an attainable improvement.
One big difference between the two is that one requires faith and the other does not. Trying to become a better person is something an atheist can do. I would suggest they don't have a coherent answer to what it means to be a better person but that is another story. They do feel the impulse to improve themselves and many of them do. It is all based on human motivation and human effort that does not need to be connected with God at all.
Dying and rising, on the other hand, does not make any sense if God is not real. Dying means you are completely helpless and you need God to raise you up. If God is not there then you will die and that will just be the end of it. This is why this story is told in the context of Jesus' death and resurrection. We can die to sin and be sure of our resurrection precisely because Jesus rose from the dead.
The objection to this is if you set your sights too high you will fail. Make the goal attainable and you are going to succeed. Is not some small victory better than one big defeat? First of all, you are not guaranteed a small victory. We can set our sights quite low and still fail to achieve the target. Secondly, and more importantly, failure does not have to leave us in a bad place. We tried to be a saint and we failed. That leaves us knowing we are sinners and still having a long way to go. So we need to do this conversion thing again and again. Our failure will remind us of our sinfulness again and again. This is good.
The line that was repeated so often is that in order to be a disciple we need progress but not perfection. I am not sure this is true. We don't need perfection for sure but I am thinking we don't even need to make progress. Long term you would wonder about a person who never makes any progress. Still in the short term you might not achieve even a little bit. Someone who tries to quit drinking might not be very successful at all. Do you have to show progress to call yourself a disciple? I would say just the fact that you want to follow God in this is enough. The fact that you did not even make progress today is not important. Tomorrow is important. Do you try again or do you give up?
It comes down to the difference between grace and works. Is God acting with our cooperation or are we acting and maybe getting some help from God? Christianity is very firmly in the former. We need God even for small progress. What follows is that difficulties are kind of irrelevant. Nothing is too difficult for God. What matters is whether we trust God.

I made a script called "Poses Script". It assigns different poses to a certain rig, the Terry rig. The script creates a window with a coloured button for each pose. Each button has an icon or a picture of the pose on it. When a button is clicked the Terry rig assumes the pose that is assigned to that button.
I decided to make this script because I like animating and I think it would be very useful to have a script that puts a model in certain key poses at the click of a button.
I listed the steps I thought I would need to take to develop my script-Make a skeleton Move it into poses required Note the orientation values of the joints Make a window with buttons Make the buttons apply the attributes of the joints of the original skeleton poses to the selected skeleton joints.
These are the script goals I thought I would need to achieve in the making of the poses window-Create procedures or procs for each pose Create a window, checking if it exists already and deleting it if it does
In making my mel script I followed these steps
In this subject I started as a complete newbie knowing absolutely nothing about scripting. I felt overwhelmed because it is a foreign language and every word used has to be the correct one, spelt right and in the right place, not to mention all the new things like ` ++ and arrays, loops, matrices, 'if' statements and procs etc etc etc.
I started reading the text books and found that very helpful along with the notes given in the N drive for each week. I have seen Vince write scripts to assign different colours to a group of many grapes and to change a setting on all things in a scene at once and this impressed me as to the usefulness of scriptingt. I saw Emeliano use command documentation to see how to utilise commands and this influenced me to do the same. This came in useful for seeing how to use xform.
We looked at how Maya works and uses mel scripts "Maya's user interface, which includes all buttons and menus around the edge of the work area, is built using MEL." (Mark R. Wilkins, 2005) page 20
Then over the weeks we made things like windows with buttons that do things like turn a propeller or make, move and delete poly objects. We made a global proc to list selected objects and rename them. We discovered switch statements, the switch statement is designed for the situation where you have a single variable that can have several specific values for which you want your script to do different things, and recursion which is when you have a procedure that calls itself repeatedly and made a spiral of spheres of decreasing sizes using this. Then we learnt about loops, a loop is a series of instructions that repeat until set conditions are reached. "Conditional statements let us decide whether to do something; loops let us do things many times." (Jennifer Campbell, 2009) p131
Then we had to come up with an idea for a script, something we would like to be done in Maya. A first I thought of having a body deform automatically in a collision, but this seemed a bit too much for my level so Emeliano and I came up with this idea for poses in animating.
In making my mel script I followed the steps listed above and am delighted with the resulting window and they way it makes the Terry rig assume the poses.
Based on what I have learnt in this subject and the influences of my teachers and the writers of the text books I can imagine using scripting in future to simplify and automate things that I want Maya to do. I imagine I would use it in a similar way in animating even to use the xform command and list command to find and list the values of the original joints automatically and even assign it to any number of rigs by assigning variables to the subsequent rigs joint names.

I have added a page called show reel to show some of the end products of what I have done on the course.
These are the steps I did to make 1 surface react like rock, sand then mud as a guy walked over them:
settings on the particle shape node
different particles goal pp settings in the component editor for each surface type
I had to make a scene of a mass biplanes flying.
I made a volume emitter into a flattish rectangle, with rate of 2 per second ( this was a good amount of planes flying by) and instanced the biplane to the particles so the particles now look like the biplane. The biplanes emitted sideways so I rotated the original -90 in Y direction so that it points in the X direction and they came out straight. I had to break the connection of the rotate X on the prop to rotate the plane group and freeze the transformations so then I reanimated it to rotate after.
planes emitting sideways (the original and the rectangle can be seen underneath):
I had the speed random too high on the emitter and some were not even moving. I noticed that they flew out at an ok speed but slowed down and I could not alter the emission speed so I put in a gravity field and made it go in the X direction at a strength of 6. I tried varying strengths and this had them flying at a good speed.
The particles have conserve weight of.98, max count -1 so there is no limit on the number of planes.
particle settings:
I tried an expression in the position' attribute as below but the movements were too uniform they all went up and down at the same time.
vector $pos = particleShape2.position;
particleShape2.position = <<$pos.x, $pos.y+sin(time)/2, $pos.z>>;
A much better way to get them to move randomly was a turbulence field set at about 5. Higher values had them rotating too wildly and at a higher gravity magnitude it was really wild, there would have been far too many crashes.
Aim direction set to velocity has them facing the way they are flying and turning.
instancer particle settings (note aim direction):
At the end I replaced the gravity field with a uniform field to see if that was better. I liked the effect, it pulled them forward and seemed to stop them wobbling so much. I set it at a magnitude of 20 and they speed up a bit as they go further. I also upped the disturbance to 10 so you can see more variation in the way they go up and down, the uniform field coped better with this than the gravity field and it wasn't so wobbly.
uniform field settings:
I finally changed the lifespan on the particle to 6 and they die just off screen so there aren't too many where they can't be seen. and hid the original geo.
I put an expression in the mass attribute to vary the particles weights between .8 and 1.2 and in a uniform field this will vary their speed and I increased emission rate to 4 from 2 so there are more planes.

How To Get A Job At Apple
IF you have ambitions to work at one of the top technology companies in the world, then Apple's senior vice president of retail and online stores Angela Ahrendts's recent op-ed, outlining her "guiding principles of hiring gleaned from 34 years of learnings", is a must-read.
The former Burberry CEO breaks her method down into four main areas entitled, "We vs Me", "IQ vs EQ", "Left Brain vs Right Brain" and "Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow" - each of which aims to seek out very specific qualities in prospective candidates.
Angela's Recipe For Success
"I want to gain insight into how they see themselves in the world; how big is their ego and what role does it play in their everyday life? Do they focus their energy on being an individual contributor, or on connecting and enabling a wider group? Do they care more about their own success or about the greater good of the whole? I ask simple questions about their family, friends, peers, personal interests, sports, spirituality, and community to glean a better understanding of their true motivation and leadership attributes," revealed Ahrendts, adding that this is usually easy as, "people love to talk about themselves."
The businesswoman also divulged that she herself gleans wisdom from other women, including the late Maya Angelou's famous quote: "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel", which Ahrendts said gives her "a sense if they truly care about the impact they make on people."
Arise, Dame Angela Ahrendts
Most insightfully for anyone approaching an interview with the technology conglomerate, is to know that Ahrendts doesn't leave any of her interviewees to play the guessing game once they've walked out the door.
"If I loved them, I tell them so and say I look forward to continuing the conversation. If they are not right for the position, I think it is best to be honest while we are together so they don't get their hopes up," she revealed. "I always treat them as I want to be treated, and make sure they leave feeling positive even though they are not right for the current position."

LINCOLN, NE – National statistics show that farming is one of the most dangerous occupations in America. The Nebraska Corn Board and Nebraska Corn Growers Association are asking all farmers to slow down — and take a second for safety. They are encouraging emergency rescue personnel who might be called to a grain engulfment rescue to attend a free upcoming training session.
Over the past 50 years, more than 900 cases of grain engulfment have been reported—and the fatality rate is 62 percent. With a 10-inch auger, it takes just 25 seconds for a 6-foot person to be completely buried in grain.
Nebraska farmer, Ron Woollen has a mission to educate farmers and those working with grain stored in bins after losing his son in a grain bin accident.
"Grain bin safety is so important because we are always going to store grain," said Woolen. "Equipment has improved dramatically. More options are available to monitor grain condition which is the biggest factor in grain bin accidents. However, there will always be times when it is necessary to enter a bin."
Woollen said that when farmers have to enter a bin, they need to know the proper procedure and follow it.
When working around grain bins, here are safety tips to keep in mind when you are taking a second for safety.
• Use inspection holes or grain level markers to understand what's happening inside the bin. Use a pole from outside the bin to break up grain bridges.
• You should enter a grain bin only if absolutely necessary. If you must get into the bin, use a body harness secured to the outside of the bin. Have at least two people watching over you as you enter and work inside the bin.
• Use hand signals to communicate—and make sure everyone you're working with knows what those signals are.
These safety strategies and more will be emphasized at two free Grain Engulfment Rescue Training workshops this July sponsored in part by GSI, Inc. The first will be July 7th at the Dawson County Fairgrounds in Lexington hosted by the Dawson County Corn Growers. The following day, July 8th, the Saunders County Soybean Growers and Saunders County Corn Growers will host a grain safety seminar at the American Legion in Ceresco. Both free seminars begin at 5:30 p.m.
The grain engulfment rescue training is intended for industry personnel that actively work in the grain and commodities industry as well as fire fighter emergency rescue personnel who might be called to an engulfment rescue.
"Last year, I attended a training seminar in Kearney for first responders and EMT's," said Woollen. "I was very pleased with the quality of the training and the equipment now being made available for grain extraction."
The Nebraska Corn Board's market development, research, promotion and education programs are funded and managed by Nebraska corn farmers. Producers invest at a rate of 1/2 of a cent per bushel of corn sold.
The Nebraska Corn Growers Association (NeCGA) is a grassroots commodity organization that works to enhance the profitability of corn producers. Now in its 40th year of service to its members, NeCGA has more than 2,300 dues paying members in Nebraska. NeCGA is affiliated with the National Corn Growers Association, which has more than 36,000 dues paying members nationwide.

We are also going to continue making predictions, inferencing, and asking and answering questions with the book, The Drinking Gourde. I made up a little packet for students to use. Each chapter has a section for students to work on that are focused around our three main learning targets this week. I've never tried this before...We shall see how it works!! This way my students can work at their own pace, but still practice the skills they need the most help with, and they can conference with me :)
A great resource I found to introduce the book is a website about the underground railroad...including the song, "Follow the Drinking Gourd."
This week as exit slips, we will use some more of the inferencing cards we used last week!
Don't forget to check out other great lesson plans at Mrs. Wills Kindergarten!

- Mercury in Scorpio trine Neptune Rx in Pisces: 11 deg
- Mercury in Scorpio sextile Juno in Capricorn: 11 deg
- Neptune Rx in Pisces sextile Juno in Capricorn: 11 deg
Mercury/Neptune gently dissolves barriers, enabling access to empathy and uncomfortable subjects. Don't be afraid to dive into conversational waters. Words will be emotional, but not out of control (this is calm, healing energy). You may find that you've slid deeper/said more than intended, and that's ok.
Mercury and Neptune's easy sextiles to Juno suggest the above conversation will take place between partners (romantic or business). The terms of the agreement can be easily discussed, and sensitivity to each other's preferences will be on tap. As a bonus, Scorpio's association with hidden issues suggests secrets can be shared and honoured.

With no clouds to filter the sun's rays, the glare coming off the vast blanket of snow atop Velika Planina--an alpine pasture some 1,600 meters above sea level in north-central Slovenia--was overwhelming. My eyes were locked in a permanent squint, which offered no relief. I had spent the whole day hiking and snowshoeing, and by the time I got back to my car around 4 in the afternoon, I was exhausted, not just from the physical exertion of that day, but from nearly three full weeks of long days--up before dawn nearly every day, I had logged a lot of miles in unfamiliar terrain on little sleep, and it had finally caught up with me. I had been wrestling with the idea of continuing on to Bovec to explore the northwest of the country for my last three days, but what I really needed was a little R&R, so I decided to rent an apartment in the town of Piran on Slovenia's Istrian coast instead.
Taking the A1 from Kranj, it was an easy 150 km drive southwest on a beautiful highway that takes you past Slovenia's famous caves at Postojna and Škocjan. By the time I reached the coastal town of Koper a little over an hour later, I was driving directly into the setting sun. With the sky changing from a bright, almost sickly yellow to a more pleasing orange and eventually a deep, rich crimson, it was like watching the gentle brushstrokes of an unseen painter constantly correcting and improving their work.
As the road finally turned north and descended toward the seaside and the town of Piran, my eyes finally got a much-needed respite. I had already been fantasizing for some time about finding a nice restaurant somewhere along the water where I could sit outside on this warm February evening and enjoy a glass of wine and a proper meal.
My time in Limbo
As I was driving into town, I came upon an ordinary parking gate blocking entry. I pulled up and pressed the button, and then took the ticket that the machine spat out. Ordinarily, this would cause the gate to lift; in Piran, as I soon discovered, it caused a surly-looking gentleman to slip out of a nearby booth and slither his way over to my car.
As he approached, I peered out the window with a questioning look on my face.
"What do you want here?"
The question caught me off guard, and I thought that perhaps I had made a wrong turn somewhere and had ended up at some sort of military installation instead of one of Slovenia's better-known tourist destinations.
"I'm staying in Piran for a couple of days," I responded.
"Do you have a reservation?"
"Yes, of course."
"Show me."
This was rather unexpected, to say the least. When I was living in Russia at the end of the 1990s, I was used to putting together a dossier every time I wanted to enter or leave the country. You just didn't know what documents you were going be asked to produce on any particular occasion, so you took everything. It was something I had grown used to circa 1999 in the former Soviet Union, but it hadn't crossed my mind that I might be asked to produce any documents under the present circumstances-trying to enter a town in the European Union in 2014.
"I only have a copy of it in my e-mail," I explained.
"If you don't have a reservation, you can't enter."
I searched my memory, and the name of the apartment that I had booked suddenly came to mind.
"I'm staying at Pri Mari."
"Ah, Pri Mari." Apparently, I had uttered the magic word, as he let down his guard.
"OK, you can enter for free for one hour to leave your luggage. Then you have to park outside of town," he explained.
My apartment was only 100 meters down the road. As I pulled up outside, the owners were already waiting for me: an exceedingly pleasant Slovenian-Italian couple, whose warm welcome made me think that my experience at the gate was an anomaly--and over the next three days, that would prove to be the case, as just about everyone I encountered greeted me with at least a smile, while many were happy to have a chat (update: since I originally wrote this post, I've been back to Piran many times, and while I've still never been able to park in town, I've never had any more trouble with the guards).
But before I could experience any of Piran's true hospitality, I first had to get my car out of town and find a place to park it.
I left my things and headed back to the gate. Only 15-20 minutes had passed since I entered. I pulled up to the window, where a different gentleman, slouching in his seat and looking entirely uninterested in life, took my ticket and told me I owed 3 euros for parking.
"Your colleague told me I could enter for an hour to drop of my bags," I explained.
"Show me your reservation," he said. "It's in my computer, which is now in my apartment."
"If you don't have a reservation, you have to pay."
"I just had this conversation with that guy standing right there," I said, pointing to the other man, standing not 5 meters away. "He said I could enter for one hour to drop off my luggage."
"Only if you have a reservation."
"OK, OK. I'll go back to my apartment and get my computer," I said.
At this point it was a matter of principle and not the 3 euros.
Seeing the small line of cars that had formed behind me, the guy threw his arms up in the air, muttered something I didn't catch, and, mercifully, allowed me to exit.
As I was granted permission to leave the inner sanctum, I noted the name of the street, Dantejeva, and I began to think that perhaps this little exercise was nothing more than an inside joke, a meta-wink to one of the giants of the literary world, whereby the guys manning the gate make visitors experience a little bit of Limbo, Dante's first circle of Hell, as a test before they're allowed to enter and eventually enjoy all Piran's sacred charms.
A little history
That Piran's main street is called Dantejeva--named for one of Italy's greatest writers, while the word itself is clearly Slavic in form-is an indication of this ancient town's rich and complex history.
First settled by Illyrian tribes in the pre-Roman era, Piran, and much of the northeast Adriatic, was annexed by the Romans in 178 BCE. The Byzantines would eventually supplant the Romans, only to be driven out by the Franks, who were themselves replaced by the Venetians, who would rule the town for more than five centuries from 1282 until 1797, when they were driven out by none other than Napoleon himself. French rule was short-lived, however, as the Austrians took over in 1813, which, from 1867, meant the town was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In the interwar period, Piran, and the entire region of Istria, belonged to Italy, which ushered in an era of economic and cultural decline. In the wake of World War II, Piran became a part of Yugoslavia, officially in 1954, only to become a part of an independent Slovenia in 1991, which then joined the European Union in 2003.
This mixed heritage is clearly visible today. If you follow the aforementioned Dantejeva into the center of town, the bilingual (Italian and Slovenian) street signs will inform you that you're passing, for example, Leninova ulica, which is soon followed, of course, by Engelsova ulica, a clear nod to the town's recent communist past. Continue around the marina, however, and you'll pass a gelato stand on your right just before you get to Piran's main square, named not for Lenin or Tito, but for the Italian composer and violinist Giuseppe Tartini. While I only spent three days there, it was Piran's Italian genes that undoubtedly stood out; the town seemed to have much more in common with Venice and Verona than Belgrade and Sarajevo.
A few words about my visit
My time in Piran was blissfully stress-free, which was just what I needed. After an early-morning walk along the pier, I would enjoy breakfast and coffee at a seaside café, and then wander through the old town, exploring whatever I happened upon on any particular day: examples include the 17th-century St. George's Parish Church, which dominates any view of Piran; the Franciscan Monastery, with its beautiful vaulted courtyard; and the well-preserved town walls, some portions of which date all the way back to the 7th century. I would finish each evening with a sunset walk and photo shoot above town, before winding down with dinner and some wine.
The pier that stretches out into the Adriatic is lined with restaurants, but I preferred the center of town-the distance between the center and the pier being a five-minute walk. I wanted to mention three places that I particularly enjoyed for anyone who might have a chance to visit someday. Pizza lovers shouldn't miss the Pizzeria Petica (Zupanciceva ulica 6). The pizza was one of the best I've ever had, and, as I'd come to expect, the service was also excellent. And just so as to remind myself that I was actually in the former Yugoslavia, I spent an evening at Sarajevo 84 (Tomsiceva Ulica 43), which offered terrific Yugoslav fare-I had a massive portion of ćevapčići, and though I've become a vegetarian since my first visit to Piran, they also had some excellent meat-free options on the menu-in an interior decorated with sepia-toned photos from the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo; an entire wall full of Yugoslav album covers that included such names as Heroj Tito, Hokej 1966, and Yu-Memories; and ubiquitous little wooden plaques with Bosnian sayings carved into them. Some of them were perhaps a bit too racy to share here, but they also included little tidbits of Yugoslav wisdom like "There is no such thing as a quiet child or a young grandmother" and "Don't hang up until the woman is silent." Finally, I wanted to recommend the restaurant attached to where I stayed, Pri Mari. Once again, the owners were incredibly welcoming, and both the food and wine were excellent. Though I don't eat fish, everyone I spoke to in town recommended this restaurant as the best option in Piran for seafood.
In the end, I had a great time and was able to get the R&R I needed before flying home to Warsaw. And while Piran may have looked and felt like Italy, the local hospitality was undoubtedly Slovenian, with its warmth and genuine appreciation for visitors.

'Roaring Currents' breaks Korean box-office records
A historical drama depicting a famous sea battle between Korean and Japanese forces has set new records at the South Korean box office. The Admiral: Roaring Currents is the first domestic movie to have broken the magical KRW100 billion threshold in ticket sales, and also has attracted a much larger audience than any local production before it. After its fourth screening week, the movie, produced at a very modest budget of only $9.5 million (estimated), has earned approximately KRW125 billion ($122.4 million) from roughly 16.3 million admissions.
Directed by Han-min Kim, the film's original title Myeong-ryang refers to the famous 1597 naval battle of the same name during which a tiny Korean fleet of just 12 vessels under the command of legendary Admiral Yi Sun-shin gained a decisive victory over a much larger Japanese force of 130 warships. The victory effectively thwarted an impending Japanese invasion of the Korean peninsula. According to historians, the crushing defeat was primarily facilitated by Korea's deployment of a completely new type of armored vessel, so-called "turtle ships," the super-weapons of their time.
At press time, Roaring Currents had dropped to second place, yielding its top spot to another local production, The Pirates. The swashbuckling action film tells the story of a band of pirates ruthlessly fighting against a group of bandits during a hunt for a gray whale that has swallowed a royal seal, an item that needs to be recovered at all cost. During its third weekend, The Pirates made KRW7.51 billion ($7.51 million), while Roaring Currents dropped 61.1% week-on-week, earning only KRW6.38 billion ($6.25 million) from 802,000 admissions during its fourth weekend.
Beijing Independent Fest Allegedly Blocked
Chinese authorities have allegedly blocked the annual Beijing Independent Film Festival, the event's organizer, Li Xianting Film Fund, has claimed. Over the course of a week, the film fund's founder, Li Xianting, had posted messages on social media stating that "state security personnel" had repeatedly pressured him to cancel the festival, although he did not explicitly name which state authority had allegedly been involved. He also claimed he had come "under state surveillance." Fan Rong and Wang Hongwei, respectively the festival's executive director and artistic director, verified Li Xianting's posts as genuine.
The festival, inaugurated in 2006, was supposed to open on August 23 and run until August 31. It had in the past gained a reputation for screening films that sometimes could be very critical of China's government. According to observers, this could be a sign that the government under hardline President Xi Jinping intends to tighten ideological controls after years of relative freedom. An Associated Press report on the alleged shutdown quoted Chris Berry, a professor of film studies at King's College London, as saying, "It's very clear that the Xi Jinping regime is determined to control the ideological realm, which has not been emphasized so much for a long time."
Singapore Directors Team Up for Movie
Seven prominent Singaporean directors have joined forces to collaborate on an as-yet-untitled movie. The project reportedly has been commissioned by the Media Development Authority of Singapore and the Singapore Film Commission to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the city-state's independence in 2015. It is expected that each of the seven directors, led by Royston Tan, will contribute a short film segment to what appears to be an episode movie reflecting on the country's past, present and future. "I like to think that the project is [going to be] a microcosm of the Singapore story. We all have diverse filmmaking styles, we all see different aspects of Singapore and its 50-year journey in our unique ways, and yet it has given us a common sense of purpose," Tan told local media on behalf of his fellow directors. The movie, whose exact segment storylines, projected cast and budget also have not yet been announced, is expected to open sometime around the middle of next year.
India Chief Censor Charged with Bribery
The CEO of India's movie censorship body, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), reportedly was arrested by police in Mumbai on August 19, following allegations he had solicited a bribe in exchange for speeding a certain production through the approval process. Rakesh Kumar was formally charged by a Mumbai court after it was heard that authorities had arrested two other men during an earlier sting operation. They claimed they had been sent by Kumar to collect a bribe of INR70,000 ($1,156) from the producers of an unnamed movie.
Kumar, a former senior railway official with no prior experience in the film industry, had only been appointed to the CBFC's top post in January this year. The move reportedly was strongly opposed by several of the censorship body's directors. "I said from the beginning that he was not appropriate for the job. Why should the film industry have to put up with a man who has no empathy for the industry?" local media quoted board member Leela Samson as saying.
The censorship body only recently launched an online system to speed up the application process and eliminate opportunities for bribery. However, film certification often can take more than one year, and industry observers have long assumed that bribe payments are quite common to hurry the process along. India's film industry is worth roughly INR90 billion ($2.8 billion) per annum, with the trend rising as productions become increasingly more sophisticated and thus expensive to make.

For Indians, it's been per week of reports shows and newspapers reporting news tales about terrorism. But when we bare this week apart, yesteryear 2 yrs have experienced terror raising its ugly mind for the first time. It truly is the greatest threat to mankind these days. Not really a day passes with no crazy bit of news, of innocents losing their resides in crude attacks. Even while I type up this short article, Hopefully governments around the world do everything they are able to to have their particular nations safe by averting terror plots and having to pay due focus on national security.
Among a number of different technologies that are utilized to enforce law and avert terrorism, biometrics is a. To provide some a look, biometric technology uses the measurable biological and behavioural features of someone to verify their identity. No a couple on the planet have identical physical characteristics. For instance, fingerprints. However, improvements aren't restricted to fingerprints alone every person has different patterns within their iris, different facial characteristics (Such as the distance between your eyes and also the ears, and so forth.), and so forth.
7 from 19 hijackers who have been an element of the 9/11 attacks maintained towards the US government bodies. However, given that they forged their documents to have an entry in to the U . s . States, they couldn't be identified. Had biometric technology getting used, among the world's most cowardly terror attack might have been averted, say experts. That stated, implementation of biometrics isn't an easy job. Surely, to be able to scan the iris of among the world's popular terrorist, he will have to be arrested first. However, in in the future, we've got the technology could be more and more employed for making certain that no unauthorized individual accesses sensitive facilities at airports, forges documents, and terrorists are identified.
Because it is, biometrics are now being more and more utilized by agencies in areas associated with terrorism and security. A toolkit was utilized to recognize the earth's popular fugitive (As reported by the FBI) in the Abbottabad hide by the US security forces. A DNA sample had verified the identity from the terrorist. These days world, HIIDE, (Handheld Interagency Identity Recognition Equipment) the biometric system is becoming more and more common. With the ability to take fingerprint, iris and facial images.

No one pays much attention to preparing a Notice of Trustee's Sale or a Uniform Commercial Code ("UCC") Notice of Intended Disposition. Both are regulated by statute, and a Notice of Trustee's Sale is usually prepared by the foreclosure company here in California (and other states where non-judicial foreclosure of real estate is commonly used). A Notice of Trustee's Sale is also used in California to conduct a "unified" foreclosure sale of both real and personal property collateral.
The concern here is to double check exactly the description of the collateral that is being sold at foreclosure. Where the notice is prepared by an outside vendor, it is critical to make certain that the vendor has all of the necessary information to prepare the notice properly. Even then, costly mistakes can be made, so it is very important to check carefully.
In a recent bankruptcy of a hotel, the FDIC had taken over the lender to a troubled hotel. A Chapter 11 trustee was appointed and she engaged a hotel management company to operate the hotel. Ultimately, the FDIC obtained stay relief and foreclosed. When the dust cleared, the buyer demanded that all the cash on hand be turned over to it. The buyer's rationale was that the FDIC, as secured creditor, had a security interest in the accounts receivable and proceeds, and that when the FDIC conducted a unified foreclosure sale of both the real and personal property, its Notice of Trustee's Sale included a definition of accounts receivable and proceeds as collateral being sold.
If the buyer wins this dispute, it leaves the Chapter 11 trustee with no cash to pay administrative expenses (generally speaking, "administrative expenses" are fees earned by the Chapter 11, the lawyers and the accountants) and unsecured creditors. If the Chapter 11 trustee wins the dispute, the buyer gets no cash to put in the till on its opening day as hotel owner.
If this was an arms-length sale of a business, the issue of who gets the cash is determined by negotiations and the purchase and sale agreement. But in a foreclosure sale, what is sold is determined by what is advertised for sale at auction and what the auctioneer describes is being sold when the auction is conducted.
Because this foreclosure occurred in the context of a Chapter 11 case, there is a twist. The cash was actually sitting in bank accounts in the name of the Chapter 11 trustee at the time of the foreclosure sale. My analysis is that the Chapter 11 trustee gets to keep the cash because the collateral description in the FDIC's deed of trust and security agreement does not include a description of cash in a deposit account in the name of the Chapter 11 trustee.
A similar circumstance occurred last year with serious consequences in the context of an arms-length sale of an operating business during a Chapter 11 bankruptcy case. The parties did not specifically address the question of who gets the cash in the purchase and sale agreement. The sale closed and the buyer demanded the cash. The Chapter 11 debtor, who was the seller, refused, as it was counting on the cash to pay administrative expenses. The end result: the bankruptcy court awarded the cash to the buyer, leaving an administratively insolvent bankruptcy estate.
I am waiting for a lender to notice up the sale of an income property that is under water, i.e., the property is worth less than the debt. The sale notice will include a description of all the collateral, including the rents. For some reason, the rent proceeds will still be in deposit accounts belonging to the borrower when the foreclosure sale takes place. The lender will be expecting to be the successful credit bidder at the foreclosure sale and figures to get the cash for operating expenses. But another bidder sneaks in at the last minute and overbids the lender – winning the auction and ending up with the cash in the borrower's accounts as well as the property.
We've also run into problems caused by signals crossing between the lender and the foreclosure company. In one matter, the lender only had real property collateral, but the foreclosure company noticed a "unified" sale of real and personal property. The dispute was ultimately resolved, but it at a cost of time and attorneys' fees that could have been avoided.
The JMBM Special Assets Team™ can help make sure that your foreclosure sale goes as planned. Most commercial lenders want to avoid foreclosure and they go to auction only where there are no other realistic choices. If you find that you must take that final step, make sure that you do it properly and structure your sale for the highest possible return. Most lenders want third party buyers to buy at the foreclosure sale, and carefully setting the stage and making sure the notices are properly drafted are important steps in the process.
The lesson here is clear: look carefully at foreclosure notices before they go out. If you have any doubts, ask questions until you get answers that make sense to you. Ask to see a draft. Compare it to the collateral descriptions in your deed of trust and security agreement. Take extra care where intangible property, such as stock, accounts or other rights, is being sold. Exclude the cash from the property being sold. That way, if you end up bidding less than the full amount of your debt, you will get some cash to help cover the shortfall.

In previous article we read about the usage of water and its benefits. In our health inspiration series we continue with other important ingredient of a healthy lifestyle; Exercise and Nutrition. Human body is meant to work and when it remains inactive, it leads to boredom and that is a sure shot recipe for a poisonous internal body mechanism.
Yet, people take their body for granted and that's the biggest insult to this great creation of God. Why do we need to have regular exercise sessions? Benefits are numerous (looking good is just one of the advantages!). Few of them are;
· Muscle building and fat burning.
· Improved blood circulation, leading to a healthy mind and body.
· All round benefits in every part of the body including muscles and bones, lungs, joints, heart, brains, blood vessels, and other body parts.
· Increased metabolism.
· Helps in removing negative thoughts and other psychic factors like depression and frustration.
· Increase in energy and enthusiasm.
· Getting rid of the lactic acid and other fatigue poisons from the body.
· Keeps stress and anxiety at bay, thus paves way for a more fulfilling life style.
· Increased function of elimination in bowels and other organs
· Enhanced HDL cholesterol level and reduction in LDL levels.
· Strengthens body parts and in few cases has also proved crucial in dealing with stiff joints, arthritis, and limbs.
And finally, one starts feeling much better and looking much more beautiful. Enough reasons for us to start a healthy living by committing ourselves to a healthy exercise regimen.

One of the oldest proverbs says, 'Health is wealth'! Our body is our temple and it needs to be cared, loved and respected because it signifies our existence. But not every human is health conscious. People take their body for granted. But one must start taking utmost care of ones' body. Our body is 70-75% water and bloodstream is 55% liquid plasma, again mostly water. That gives us a fair idea about importance of water in our body mechanism.
The nutrients we generally eat in form of foods and supplements are heavily dependent on transportation facility of water so that all parts of our body get its required diet. No wonder, right from circulation, assimilation to digestion and elimination; all important processes need water. Doctors always recommend having adequate water drinking habit, non compliance of which might lead to problems like fatigue and other diseases. Instead of having beverages like coffee, juice, herbal supplements, tea or soda one should focus on drinking at least six to eight classes of water every day.
Less amount of water causes stagnation of poisonous waste tissues in our body. Absorption of foods is much better with proper usage of water on regular intervals. One should always drink water well before any meal or after one hour of the meal. It's also recommended to have a certain amount of water every hour in the day. It helps in better absorption of food, glowing skin, and safety from various other diseases etc.
So let's take a healthy inspiration for a healthy living!

When should we celebrate? It's when we are winning? Or it's when we are having things our way? 'Yes', would be the general answer. Of course, feelings like winning, achievement gives us a high and we should always celebrate those occasions. We should also be thankful to the world in general for the happiness we are experiencing. But what about the moments of despair? Sorrow? Defeat? Should we sulk?
Well, no is the answer. Never, in fact. Those very sad emotions teach us so many things which we actually tend to implement in our winning moments. I will be sharing a movie poem which says, we should always be thankful, no matter what are the feelings we are experiencing.
Be Thankful
Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire.
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don't know something,
for it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations,
because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge,
because it will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you're tired and weary,
Because it means you've made a difference.
It's easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who
are also thankful for the setbacks.
Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles,
and they can become your blessings.
Filed under: Attitude
What is that one attribute that counts the most in human existence? Hope, love, wealth, charity or is there something bigger? Yes, its attitude! It's not difficult to realize the impact of attitude in our day to day life. Sometimes, attitude is more important than facts. In fact, it is more important than any other thing like money, education, situations etc. the most important thing is we have a choice regarding the attitude we will wear for a particular day. It has been said that, life is all about 10 percent what happens to us and 90 percent how we react to those happenings.
This motivational poem emphasizes the importance of attitude in our life.
Often your tasks will be many,
And more than you think you can do.
Often the road will be rugged
And the hills insurmountable, too.
But always remember,
The hills ahead
Are never as steep as they seem,
And with Faith in your heart
Start upward
And climb 'til you reach your dream.
For nothing in life that is worthy
Is ever too hard to achieve
If you have the courage to try it,
And you have the faith to believe.
For faith is a force that is greater
Than knowledge or power or skill,
And many defeats turn to triumph
If you trust in God's wisdom and will.
For faith is a mover of mountains,
There's nothing that God cannot do,
So, start out today with faith in your heart,
And climb 'til your dream comes true!

Whenever we look back at history, it reveals something and whenever we look forward to future, we find that something is waiting to be unveiled. Its miracle of life that we have choices aplenty and we also have free will to choose the path, though the destination is simply one. Sages said, "What you think you are, you are. Dare to be what you think you want to be". This thought came across while reading this inspirational story which I would like to share with everyone.
The Emperor's Seed
An emperor in the Far East was growing old and knew it was time to choose his successor. Instead of choosing one of his assistants or his children, he decided something different.
He called young people in the kingdom together one day. He said, "It is time for me to step down and choose the next emperor. I have decided to choose one of you."
The kids were shocked! But the emperor continued. "I am going to give each one of you a seed today, one very special seed. I want you to plant the seed, water it and come back here one year from today with what you have grown from this one seed. I will then judge the plants that you bring, and the one I choose will be the next emperor!"
One boy named Ling was there that day and he, like the others, received a seed. He went home and excitedly told his mother the story. She helped him get a pot and planting soil, and he planted the seed and watered it carefully.
Every day he would water it and watch to see if it had grown. After about 3 weeks, some of the other youths began to talk about their seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow. Ling kept checking his seed, but nothing ever grew. 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 5 weeks went by. Still nothing.
By now, others were talking about their plants but Ling didn't have a plant, and he felt like a failure. 6 months went by; still nothing in Ling's pot. He just knew he had killed his seed. Everyone else had trees and tall plants, but he had nothing.
Ling didn't say anything to his friends. He just kept waiting for his seed to grow. A year finally went by and all the youths of the kingdom brought their plants to the emperor for inspection.
Ling told his mother that he wasn't going to take an empty pot but his Mother said he must be honest about what happened. Ling felt sick to his stomach, but he knew his Mother was right.
He took his empty pot to the palace. When Ling arrived, he was amazed at the variety of plants grown by the other youths. They were beautiful, in all shapes and sizes. Ling put his empty pot on the floor and many of the other kinds laughed at him. A few felt sorry for him and just said, "Hey nice try."
When the emperor arrived, he surveyed the room and greeted the young people. Ling just tried to hide in the back. "My, what great plants, trees and flowers you have grown," said the emperor. "Today, one of you will be appointed the next emperor!"
All of a sudden, the emperor spotted Ling at the back of the room with his empty pot. He ordered his guards to bring him to the front. Ling was terrified. "The emperor knows I'm a failure! Maybe he will have me killed!"
When Ling got to the front, the Emperor asked his name. "My name is Ling," he replied. All the kids were laughing and making fun of him. The emperor asked everyone to quiet down.
He looked at Ling, and then announced to the crowd, "Behold your new emperor! His name is Ling!" Ling couldn't believe it. Ling couldn't even grow his seed. How could he be the new emperor?
Then the emperor said, "One year ago today, I gave everyone here a seed. I told you to take the seed, plant it, water it, and bring it back to me today. But I gave you all boiled seeds, which would not grow. All of you, except Ling, have brought me trees and plants and flowers. When you found that the seed would not grow, you substituted another seed for the one I gave you.
Ling was the only one with the courage and honesty to bring me a pot with my seed in it. Therefore, he is the one who will be the new emperor!"

Trent Robbins (aka Trent Becker) was the biological father of Max Brady and the adoptive father of Melanie Layton. He was played by Roscoe Born from May 29, 2008-December 9, 2008. He was originally introduced as Trent Becker and briefly played by Charles Van Eman in 1988. In 2008, Trent Becker was revealed to be an alias he used. Trent abused Max as a child, causing Max to become socially isolated and mute for several years.
In 1988, Trent showed up at the Brady Pub, wanting to reclaim his son. Trent soon realized Max was happy with the Brady family, and left town. Trent reappeared in 2008 as the Dean of the Physics department at Salem University. It was also revealed that he was had married Nicole Walker, and she never divorced him, which made her marriage to Victor Kiriakis invalid, and would invalidate her claim to any of Victor's money in the divorce.
HistoryEditIn May 2008, Trent returned to town as Trent Robbins, and as the new dean of the Salem University's Physics Department. Trent re-entered Max's life by awarding Nick Fallon a grant for his "work" on a fuel cell. He Unbeknownst to Trent, Max was responsible for the majority of Nick's design. Max became short-tempered upon seeing Trent and confronted him. After Max insisted that Trent take responsibility for his abusive actions, Trent offered to pay him off in order to keep his past a secret. Max refused, and he and Stephanie cornered Trent in his room where Max got Trent to admit to Stephanie that Trent was his father. Max saw a picture of a young woman in Trent's wallet, and assumed she was his half-sister. Trent denied it, but Max didn't believe him. Trent made an effort to reconcile with Max, but his defensiveness around Trent, along with Trent not telling him about the woman in the picture, led to an argument. Nick swiped Trent's phone, and found out the woman was named Melanie. Max headed off to France, much to Trent's dismay. Trent tried to blackmail Nicole into intercepting Max, but she was unable to when Nicole, along with several others, became locked in the hospital by Stefano DiMera.
Trent called Melanie and asked her to prostitute herself to a very dangerous man, named Claude, to pay off a gambling debt he owed him. Trent took an interest in Marlena Evans and asked her out on a date. Her ex-husband, John Black, didn't like that. John knocked Trent unconscious and then kicked him while he laying on the ground.When Max returned to town with Melanie, they both confronted Trent at the pub for attempting to whore Melanie off to the highest bidder to pay off a gambling debt. Melanie said to Trent she would tell everyone what he did, and Max mocked Trent over how he would lose everything. Trent grabbed Melanie and declared they were leaving. Max held a broken beer bottle to Trent's neck, and had to be talked down by his family. Knowing that he needed money, Trent tried to blackmail Nicole with their marriage, and get her to pay him money. Soon after, Victor Kiriakis, found out, and after receiving a threatening call from Claude, Trent tried to get Max and Melanie to help him. Max and Trent got into a huge fight, and Trent furiously disowned both of his children. The next night, Trent was murdered via a stab in the back. He watched Caroline Brady visit her husband Shawn Brady Sr.'s grave for a bit, until he found the strength to approach her. Trent fell on top of Caroline and she pulled the knife from his back just as the cops had arrived. Caroline admitted she did have a fight with Trent, and when he seemed to get volatile with Caroline, she threatened him with a knife.
Melanie also had flashbacks of her and Trent arguing in the cemetery. Melanie had brought a knife for protection and she and Trent had a struggle. Later, Melanie remembered seeing Trent with the knife in his back. She picked up his wallet (thinking it was her's), and fled. Melanie started to think she had killed Trent, and started having visions of him, taunting her about killing him. Nicole also had an altercation with Trent prior to his death, and even followed him to the cemetery where they got into a struggle.
It was finally revealed that Nick was the one who killed Trent. Trent ended up knocking Melanie out as Nick arrived. He picked up the knife, and panicked when Trent approached Melanie to see if she was alright. Nick stabbed Trent with the knife, thinking he was going to hurt Melanie.
Max finally had some closure on Trent's death when he opened the box Trent had left Max in his will. In it was a stuff dog Max called Charlie. When Max was little, Trent had taken the toy away from him when he was playing with it while he was supposed to be sleeping. In the box was a also note that said "I'm sorry", and Max finally realized Trent had felt remorse for the way he had treated Max.
In 2010, it was discovered that Daniel Jonas and Carly Manning were Melanie's biological parents. It was also revealed that Trent and his lover, Jane, were friends with Carly and her husband Lawrence Alamain. In fact, Lawrence had arranged for Melanie to be adopted by Trent and Jane.

NEW DELHI: Apple finally unveiled two new smartphones – iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus – at a function in San Francisco, US.
iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are the thinnest ever Apple has ever made. iPhone 5S and 5 are 7.6mm thick, but iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are even thinner at 6.8mm and 7.1mm respectively. These are, of course, not the thinnest smartphones globally, as that title lies with Gionee's Elife S5.5 with thickness of 5.5mm.
The two phones finally take Apple to the big-screen smartphone segment, sporting 4.7- and 5.5-inch screens respectively. Apple has increased the pixel density of the two smartphones, with the smaller one having 38% more pixels at 1334x750p resolution and iPhone 6 Plus sporting 185% more pixels with screen resolution of 1920x1080p.
Apple is calling the new display panels Retina HD, a "new generation" of iPhone screens. These LCD panels feature ion strengthened glass, but there has been no word on the long-rumoured sapphire glass panel yet.
Powered by the new A8 processor, iPhone 6 is up to 50% more energy efficient, so you can have higher sustained performance. The 64-bit CPU architecture-based A8 processor is 20% faster in application processing and 50% faster in rendering graphics compared to its predecessor. It is able to sustain performance-intensive tasks like playing a game at higher frame rates. The power button is on the side now.
The two iPhone 6 models sport an 8MP iSight camera that features phase detection. Despite no increase in camera resolution, iPhone 6 takes 43MP panorama photos. And like many rivals , including Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and S5, HTC One (M8) and LG G3, iPhone 6 and 6 Plus features optical image stabilization for blur-free photos and videos.

Laravel version 5, which is still under active development and set to be released in November, comes with lots of cool features. One of them is Flysystem integration. Flysystem is a filesystem abstraction PHP package which allows you to easily swap out a local filesystem for a remote one (Amazon S3, Rackspace, Dropbox and others). For now Laravel provides drivers (wrappers around flysystem code for even easier access) for local, s3 and rackspace filesystem but adding a new one was not a problem for me and it was easier than I first thought!
Here I will try to explain how I added an adapter for Dropbox.
First thing I did was going to dropbox.com/developers to make a new app where I obtained app name and access token. Than I required dropbox sdk via composer and specified config options for dropbox driver – in
config/filesystem.php under
disks key I added the following:
'dropbox' => [ 'driver' => 'dropbox', 'token' => 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN', 'app' => 'YOUR_APP_NAME' ],
Now go to the
vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Filesystem/FilesystemManager.php file and add the following method where appopriate ((This is not done the right way though, but for scope of this tutorial it's fine. A better way is to extend that class, add a new method and register new class with custom service provider. That way addition will not be lost if the core class, which we are extending, gets an update via composer.)).
use Dropbox\Client; use League\Flysystem\Adapter\Dropbox as DropboxAdapter; ... class FilesystemManager implements FactoryContract { ... /** * Create an instance of the given driver. * * @param array $config * @return \Illuminate\Contracts\Filesystem\Cloud */ public function createDropboxDriver(array $config) { $client = new Client($config['token'], $config['app']); return $this->decorate(new Flysystem(new DropboxAdapter($client))); } ... }
That's it! Note that if you are doing an adapter for other filesystem, method name is very important. It must be
create*Driver, where
* represents actual driver's name listed in
disks key in
config/filesystem.php. Also take a look at other
create*Driver methods in that file and in Flysystem documentation for guidelines on how to write a new driver correctly.
Now you should access your files in Dropbox like this:
use Illuminate\Contracts\Filesystem\Factory as Filesystem; get('/', function(Filesystem $filesystem) { return $filesystem->disk('dropbox')->get('hello.txt'); });

Heron Hall – A Living Building Homeby Jens Voshage on Jan 8, 2015 • 20:40 No Comments
Designed by the founder of the Living Building Challenge and CEO of the International Living Future Institute, Jason F. McLennan. Pursuing all petals of the Living Building Challenge 2.1 and destined to become one of the world's greenest homes.
Check out http://heronhall.softfirmstudios.net/ to find out more about the design and design philosophy.
I am especially fond of the kitchen cabinet and casework series that follows the Living Building Challenge principles (FSC wood, free of red-listed chemicals, solid built to last with reuse and recycling in mind).
The project design also builds on the idea of leveraging the benefits of prefabrication without sacrificing the connection to the uniqueness of the site and location:
My belief is that the future of home construction is a blend between prefabricated elements and modular construction in conjunction with site built elements, useful where the limits of prefab begin to limit design and form. Quality pre-fabrication saves resources, minimizes waste and allows for a more strict control of costs.
When used properly it can greatly improve a project environmental and economic performance. But it can also drive a 'sameness' and rigidity in geometry due to the limitations of shipping and factory parameters. Modular construction paired with prefabricated elements like structural insulated panels, building trusses and the like all further improve efficiency but with less design rigidity. Yet there is also something special about the more labor intensive, site built, traditional methods of construction that can give a building 'soul'. A proper blending of each construction family, for the right reasons, in the right locations, can result in a powerful and effective palette for construction.
