If you're just now tuning in, I'm counting down the 43 movies I saw in the theater last year. The bottom of the barrel was in this post, so we pick up with Number 30 this week: the part of the list where I found things in each movie to like and dislike, in more or less equal amounts.
I was more eager for this than I should have been. I hoped it would be a decent placeholder for the series until Matt Damon found a reason to come back, but it was a tired plot with very low stakes. Nice performances from Jeremy Renner and Rachel Wiesz, but they didn't have much to work with except for a couple of really effective action pieces.
Another thriller in which the excellent cast is wasted on a generic, predictable script. Genesis Rodriguez steals the movie and brings Jamie Bell along with her though. I want another, better movie about just the two of them.
An effective, spooky movie with a welcome performance by Daniel Radcliffe. That ending though... It's designed to clear the road for Woman in Black 2, but is so cynical and obvious about it that it not only kills my interest in a sequel, it also makes this one un-rewatchable for me.
I'm not a fan of the Men in Black movies. They're disposable entertainment that I tend to forget about as soon as I leave the theater. This one actually stuck with me, but I haven't made up my mind about if that was for the right reason or not. The movie's point is unclear, but whatever it is, it makes it in a memorable way.
And Josh Brolin is super entertaining as Young Tommy Lee Jones.
I would've liked it a lot more if Dracula didn't sound like Adam Sandler doing a Lugosi accent. I mean, that's exactly what's going on, but I wish it wasn't so distracting. Other than that, it's a funny movie with some amusing interpretations of classic monsters.
The first one was pretty miserable, but they got me back to the theater by adding Chuck Norris to the mix and promising to expand the roles of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis. There were still some huge, ridiculous plot holes, but I loved the finale as everyone used their best moves (and best lines) to show each other up. What it has over the first one is "fun."
Not the movie I expected. I thought it was going to be more of a legal drama, but not being that doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing. Taken on its own terms, Flight is a powerful, effective film about addiction and the lengths people go to deny it and cover it up. I liked it a lot for that and enjoyed being surprised by it, but it's a difficult movie to watch and I can't imagine I'll ever want to see it again.
Nice thriller with some laugh out loud moments, some harrowing ones, and a couple of great, touching ones when reluctant participants in the escape plan decide to commit to it. Unfortunately, the script goes to great lengths to ramp up the tension in unbelievable and cheesy ways that kept reminding me this couldn't be how it actually happened.
I already wrote a long post about this one, but short version: There are some truly great and fascinating ideas in this visually stunning movie. It's just too bad that they're executed so very, very sloppily.
I just rewatched Brave the other night and liked it better than I did the first time. I don't know if I liked it well enough to move it out of this section of my list, but maybe. I'm certainly not as disappointed this time.
The biggest thing is that I was able to spot the moment where Merida and her mom resolve their conflict. It was right where it was supposed to be, but the first time around I missed an important, but subtle line of dialogue and some equally vital body language. Turns out, the point of the movie really is about compromise and the bravery it takes to do that when you haven't yet exhausted all the stubborn tantrum-throwing you'd planned on doing. It's a much sneakier message than I was prepared for, but I liked it more for that. Maybe next time, I'll like it even better.
I hear you man, of the movies I did see on this list, I consider most of them to be just "average".
Men in Black 3 had some decent moments, but wasn't as inventive as the first, but its weak moments were nowhere near as bad as the second.
Hotel Transylania sounds interesting, especially knowing that Gennedy Tortofsky of Samurai Jack, Star Wars Clone Wars and Sym-Bionic Titan was directing, though Adam Sandler's production posse was something of a put off. If there was someway I could watch this back to back with either Mad Monster Party or one of the other animated Halloween movies from this past year like ParaNorman or Frankenweenie, then I think it might average out.
Argo is actually one that I'm really excited to see. Looks like a fast paced thriller peppered with my kind of humor.
Prometheus: Once Shaw said "These engineers create us and thats what I choose to believe", I knew we where in trouble. I came in with low expectations and it still somehow managed to be disappointing. These may be some of the worst movie scientists I have ever seen.
Brave: Tired but no less true. Plenty of familiar elements but nothing too endearing. Saw it once and didn't regret it, but I can't imagine going out of my way to see it again.
"These may be some of the worst movie scientists I have ever seen" should be on the poster.
Maybe like that spoof poster they did for Battlefield Earth's Home Video Release.

The other day, on Scoble’s blog, he announced that MSDN was having problems keeping up with the bandwidth demands of RSS aggregators. Well, if Microsoft can’t handle it, then it’s definitely a problem, right? Many people have chimed in about solutions, mostly involving existing HTTP standards and reducing the size of the feeds served. These are all good ideas. I don’t have time to get into a lot of the technical stuff right now, but one really good recommendation is put forth by FeedDemon’s Nick Bradbury. I’ve recommended the exact same thing to a few people.
Another resource that’s being developed is Sam Ruby’s HTTP Best Practices. He’s applying his usual exceptional thoroughness to documenting the issues (I will always sing Sam’s praises, as his and Mark Pilgrim’s work on syndication test cases has been a tremendous asset to the community).
Unfortunately I don’t have time right now to talk more about this. But these resources should help sites that are having issues dealing with the load from aggregators.

It will reportedly launch in the fall of 2019 and will be filmed in front of a live audience with Ru’s own positive and aspirational point of view, interviewing celebrities, playing games, and dishing on pop culture.
Mama Ru had a talk show on VH1 produced by WOW in the 90s, called The RuPaul Showwhich was WAY ahead of its time, if you ask me. The timing for this new show, after the success of RuPaul’s Drag Race, seems perfect.
In addition to this new daytime talk show, RuPaul will also continue hosting RuPaul’s Drag Race as well as the newly announced RuPaul’s Drag Race: UK. He is also a judge on the CBS talent competition The World’s Best. He has taken some notable acting roles recently also, such as recurring in Girlboss, Grace and Frankie, and Broad City. Next up, he is co-creating and starring in the new Netflix comedy series AJ and the Queen, and Hulu is developing a documentary about his life.
To catch the premiere of RuPaul, tune into your local Fox station on June 10.

Marketing and sales are two related, yet completely different, functions.
Marketers focus on theoretical strategies about buying behavior. Salespeople close the deal and bring in revenue.
Marketers experiment with various advertising techniques. Salespeople work directly with prospects to convert them into customers.
It’s important to understand your salesperson’s needs and how they compare with a marketer’s needs. And it’s even more crucial to understand how they can work together to help your business succeed.
Marketers are strategy oriented. Their job entails creating the advertising plan and discovering the most viable ways to implement it. They are responsible for exciting the target market and priming prospects for buying.
Specific input and feedback from the sales field.
Materials salespeople can use to positively impact prospect conversion rates.
Time to experiment and manipulate ad elements,and test their effectiveness.
Salespeople who recognize the difference between features and benefits.
Salespeople have face to face contact with your customers, and they have their own perspectives about what makes a prospect buy.
After your ad campaign has gone forth, your salesforce must represent that your marketing claims are true. Then they must convince prospects to part with their cash.
Marketing collateral that comes ready-made. Salespersons like to hit the ground running. Just give them some sales sheets and business cards so they can get going. They’re in the moment and need great visuals to close those sales.
Specific information about the product. Your salespeople should learn all the details about your product. That knowledge offers solutions when prospects have questions. Product knowledge builds trust. People buy from you if they trust you.
The ability to create or modify sales products. Salespeople encounter many questions in the field. For example, a prospect may want to know how to use your product in a new way. Materials that can be adapted on the spot will show your versatility.
Current advertising media. Sales can be negatively impacted by ad materials that still carry your old logo. Your salesforce shouldn’t promote new products with old marketing materials. Your media should also keep pace with new software releases.
An understanding of features vs. benefits. Features are specifics like embedded social media or ecommerce solutions. Benefits are valuable results such as building social connections or reaching consumers globally. Your best salespeople recognize what’s most important to each prospect, features or benefits, and use that knowledge to close the sale.
Marketers don’t want salespeople messing up their ad media, but they should be open to the feedback salespeople bring from direct experience with prospects.

Based on a true story, this film tells the story of a small group of French monks in an Algerian monastery in 1995, caught between their order, the corrupt Algerian government, and an Islamic terrorist group. The beginning shows the fairly symbiotic relationship between the monks and the village they serve, though it’s interesting that they seem to have little interest in converting any of the Muslims around them (perhaps it’s worth noting there is a difference between a monastery and a mission), but instead serve among them, providing medical care, advice and a listening ear, prayer when desired, and above all a stable presence in the region.
The Islamist group threatens the delicate balance, with growing violence and threats making the monks consider leaving for a safer monastery or returning to France. This struggle is played out in a series of community meetings as the seven or eight of them talk out the various options, and what they believe God would have them do, and also more subtly through the frequent prayer and chanting they do, which constitutes almost the entirety of the film’s soundtrack.
I appreciated the slow contemplativeness of the film, though I admit I had to put in a second viewing of certain sections because it can be quite, how shall I say, relaxing to watch and listen to monks go about their daily tasks. I also found myself wishing for a bit more context to the terrorist activity – the monks are French, and not a little of the conflicts in Algeria stem from French colonization, and the film doesn’t explore that at all. I also would’ve maybe appreciated a bit more knowledge of the monk’s theological perspectives – they seem quite syncretistic at times with the Muslim community around them (see Brother Christian’s long quote below, which is at the end of the film), but it can be a little hard to see the line between serving a community unconditionally and accepting their beliefs uncritically.
It is now my #1 Xavier Beauvois film, my #2 Michael Lonsdale film, my #9 Religious Drama, and my #34 film of 2010.
Of Gods and Men was recommended by Malea Selby, a friend from my church. Averaging together this #990 ranking with my #616 ranking of her other film, The Keys of the Kingdom, gives Malea an average ranking of 803.
Brother Christian: We were called to live here. In this country, with these people who are also afraid.
Brother Christophe (I think): I became a monk to live, not to sit back and have my throat cut.
Brother Christian: The good shepherd doesn’t abandon his sheep to the wolves.
Brother Christian: We are martyrs out of love, out of fidelity. If death overtake us, despite ourselves, because up to the end, up to the end we’ll try to avoid it. Our mission here is to be brothers to all. Remember that love is eternal hope. Love endures everything.
Brother Christian: The incarnation, for us, is to allow the filial reality of Jesus to embody itself in our humanity.
Brother Christian: [Voice-over] Should it ever befall me, and it could happen today, to be a victim of the terrorism swallowing up all foreigners here, I would like my community, my church, my family, to remember that my life was given to God and to this country. That the Unique Master of all life was no stranger to this brutal departure. And that my death is the same as so many other violent ones, consigned to the apathy of oblivion. I’ve lived enough to know, I am complicit in the evil that, alas, prevails over the world and the evil that will smite me blindly. I could never desire such a death. I could never feel gladdened that these people I love be accused randomly of my murder. I know the contempt felt for people here, indiscriminately. And I know how Islam is distorted by certain Islamism. This country, and Islam, for me are something different. They’re a body and a soul. My death, of course, will quickly vindicate those who call me naïve or idealistic, but they must know that I will be freed of a burning curiosity and, God willing, will immerse my gaze in the Father’s and contemplate with him his children of Islam as he sees them. This thank you which encompasses my entire life includes you, of course, friends of yesterday and today, and you too, friend of the last minute, who knew not what you were doing. Yes, to you as well I address this thank you and this farewell which you envisaged. May we meet again, happy thieves in Paradise, if it pleases God the Father of us both. Amen. Insha’Allah.

Music has a way of carrying a message that the artist truly believes in. In a highly commercialized music industry like ours, that message is sometimes lost or even left out. That’s why we’re constantly searching for the artists that carry a message and make their music mean something. Maybe they’re artists you’ve never heard of before, but we know they’re definitely ones that you’ll want to keep listening to. We want you to know the people behind the music, who they are and where they come from, what they believe in and where they’re headed. To begin our adventure, we chatted with singer/songwriter Ryan Courtney about his uplifting project named Trenton.
Trenton released a new EP titled “Dreamers” earlier this year. The 5 track EP kicks off with powerful drums and guitar riffs that grab your attention, and soon after, a voice captures you with a softness that melts together with the beat in perfect unison. The tracks keep the energy flowing until you get to the last one, that’s when there’s a moment of peace and you understand that there is a depth to the soul that comes through in Courtney’s voice, and that’s what makes this album a must hear. The passion for music can be heard loud and clear. The gentle mix of energy, soul, and meaningful lyrics makes for an impressive gathering of musical talent. What really catches me off guard every time is Ryan’s vocal quality, despite the use of cheap microphones, his raw emotions are projected loud and clear; proving that technology is not all that matters.
Ryan explains where the band name Trenton came from, what is different and surprising unique about where Dreamers was made and more in our interview below.

When it comes to helping families go for Zero Waste, apartments and condo complexes can face a host of challenges single-family homes don’t face, be it a lack of space for recycling and composting dumpsters, property managers who may be unwilling to make changes to their trash routines, a lack of outreach regarding recycling and composting guidelines, language barriers, or all of the above.
Helping these underserved communities is a challenge nationwide, but in Boulder County, 17 different multi-family-unit properties are making huge strides to recycle and compost all the waste they can.
This summer, Eco-Cycle staff and canvassers are working with the City of Boulder, the City of Longmont, Boulder Housing Partners, Boulder County and a plethora of “Resident Zero Waste Champions” to reach more than 800 homes in “multi-family-unit” complexes around the county to increase recycling participation, reduce contamination, and implement composting whenever possible.
So far, we’ve completed outreach at two properties—Kalmia Public Housing and Victoria Inn—where we have consistently seen an increase in waste diversion. North Boulder’s Kalmia community in particular has made huge strides, from 30% to 42% diversion in just a few months.
These are pilot projects, but there’s no question they are proving that with perseverance and passion, we can accomplish some big Zero Waste goals in typically underserved communities!
Read more about this outreach program at zerowasteboulder.com.
Many thanks to the City of Boulder, the City of Longmont, and Boulder Housing Partners and our Resident Champs for partnering with us to step up to this challenge!

1 of 5Some notable features of the 2013 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Limited are Harman/Kardon premium audio system with Bluetooth and a driver-assist system.
2 of 5The 2013 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Limited features a continuously variable transmission.
3 of 5The 2013 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Limited features a 2.5-liter 173-hp engine.
4 of 5The 2013 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Limited offers a luxury feel with perforated leather seats.
NEWS EDITOR GREG MIGLIORE: I took the lead-off slot in this 2013 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Limited. It measures up well in this midsize segment. The car offers most of the standard stuff one expects for a Ford Fusion-fighter, but it adds a definite Subaru flavor. The company has its symmetrical all-wheel-drive system down cold, the cabin is basic and taut, and the appearance on the outside has a degree of class.
A few aspects of the option package struck me, including the navigation system and lane-departure warnings. The nav is one of the clearest systems I've seen, returning detailed information about location and surroundings. At one point, it even showed the signs on the screen for Interstate 75 where the expressway was about to split. That's pretty slick. I found the electronic nannies to be a touch intrusive, as it seemed every time I put a wheel wrong I was flagged by the system for not perfectly maintaining lane position. It also kept me on my toes of a potential forward collision.
The cabin is nicely appointed, and this example is done up in black with handsome faux-wood trim and other elements. I actually found the seats to be a little too rigid, but still generally comfy and well-shaped. Maybe it was just one of those mornings.
The boxer four is reasonable, and for a modest rating of 173 hp, it offers enough punch. The CVT was fine. It's not my gearbox of choice, but it worked in this iteration.
For $30k, the Legacy is a solid value. It has a different character (slightly) in a rather crowded segment.
ASSOCIATE EDITOR JAKE LINGEMAN: I think the Legacy is moving the wrong way on the fun-to-drive scale. They've installed a CVT transmission, which ensures that no enthusiast would ever buy this car, the styling is blander than the outgoing model, and those damn beeps from the lane-departure and forward-collision sensors drives me crazy.
There must be a way to turn them off, but I couldn't find it. Every time you touch the white line, it beeps. If the Subie doesn't think you're slowing down fast enough, it beeps. I don't think I tried to merge into anyone, but I'd bet it would beep at that too. And I understand the theory, beep at someone when they're doing something wrong. I just thing the execution is bad.
The beeps do more harm than good. They are quite unsettling and if you yank the steering wheel back off the line you usually hit the opposite side. The forward collision stuff, again I get it, but at a stop sign, if you begin to accelerate before the car crosses your path, it beeps.
The CVT does its thing fine with no excitement or drama. It's not annoyingly slow, and that's all non-enthusiasts care about.
I will give credit to a solidly designed chassis, with all-wheel drive, that gets more than 30 mpg on the highway. That is a true feat.
DIGITAL EDITOR ANDREW STOY: Found 'em, Lingeman. The EyeSight and collision warning off buttons are near the moonroof controls on the overhead console. If I hadn't found them, I would have parked the car and driven the Triumph all weekend despite the rain.
E-nannies aside, I came out of a weekend in the Legacy with mixed feelings. I'll never love CVT powertrains, but Subaru has programmed this particular unit to work well with the company's ubiquitous flat-four. The cabin is attractive and comfortable with lots of rear-seat legroom for the kids. But ride-and-handling -- usually a pleasure in Subaru models -- is where the Legacy really fell flat.
Twitchy steering at highway speeds made it difficult to keep the Subaru in its lane without frequent corrections, made worse by surprising susceptibility to minor crosswinds. That means, of course, that if the driver hasn't found the off button for EyeSight, he or she gets bombarded by high-pitched beeping sounds every time the Legacy wanders off-course, resulting in a punishing feedback loop where the car audibly notifies the driver of its own shortcomings.
On smooth surfaces the Subaru was quiet and comfortable, but as soon as expansion joints, pothole patches or any other imperfections showed up, the Legacy got loud. Thuds and thunks over even minor flaws resonated throughout the cabin making a Detroit freeway drive unbearably percussive.
One wonders how many of these flaws are tire-related: After all, each of the major issues I noted could be attributed to a poor choice in rolling stock -- Bridgestones, in this case. But even in that case, I'm not sure which is worse: Questionable suspension design or equipping a decent car with terrible tires to save a few bucks.
Either way, all but the most die-hard Subaru aficionados will continue to look elsewhere for a midsize sedan, and they'll be better off for it.

I am running a Barracuda Email Security Gateway 400 and am trying to use PRTG Syslog Receiver to capture login and configuration changes. In the PRTG screen I see the Login happen and it shows up in the PRTG message window. Now if I go and make a change in Block/Accept, Attachment filters, and add an attachment type, that change does not appear in the syslog output to PRTG's message window. If I logout, that will show up in PRTG.
Now if I go to Advanced, Troubleshooting, and select Web Syslog, I can see any configuration changes.
I spoke with an engineer at Barracuda and he said this data should be going out the syslog port 514. However, it doesn't show up in the message window on PRTG. I would like to get this setup so that if a change occurs I can have PRTG send me an email with the change.
Anyone have any ideas why the data isn't showing up?
This should be easy to debug, for starters I would perform a tcpdump to ensure the changes being made to attachment filters etc.. does generate a syslog message.
We'd recommend you re contact support, or let m know the case number and we will follow up!
I just ran a tcpdump and while it was running I went into Attachment Filename Filters and added *.zzz. I stopped the tcpdump, copied all of the data and dropped it into Notepad and searched for *.zzz and the configuration change was not there.
Please contact support and we will double check all other aspects and file a bug if needed !

Cinnamon Bark CO2, excellent material, and for the time being, a very good price!!!
Generally with CO2 extraction different natural nuances are perceptible. In fact, in this case, some of the faint differences might be due to the country of origin rather than the method of extraction. This particular lot was extracted from indigenous Indian trees. More than likely, these trees are older than the cultivated variety. This would again cause odor variation. Some customer comments suggest the CO2 more closely resembles the aroma of dried Cinnamon spice. This is clearly a matter of personal subjectivity.

We are just back from a 2 weeks trip to San Francisco. The reason for this trip was exploring the possibilities of developing a business in the US around our aggregation/publishing product, PagesPlus.
We met old and new friends, agencies, potential clients and investors, and the feedback was very positive, even better than I was expecting.
It sounds like the mix of tag-based RSS aggregating and WYSIWYG page editing is very interesting for publishers and media companies (these are our core business in Italy) but also for PR firms, web agencies, social media projects and as a platform for behind the firewall applications.
I’m very happy to start this new adventure in the software business with great partners and friends, I’m already planning my next trip to California and we owe tons of demos to a lot of people we met. Stay tuned.

On his way to teach for the first time in England at the Battersea Evolution, the Karmapa stopped to bless the nearby Peace Pagoda, located on the River Thames in Wandsworth. It is known as the Brighter Borough of London, and this morning lived up to its name as the sun shone brightly while wisps of white clouds perched in a wide and light blue sky. The mayor of Wandsworth, Clir Jim Madden (reelected just yesterday) and his wife were present in their impressive regalia of golden mayoral collars or chains of office. Before their arrival, the head monk of the nearby temple, Reverend Gyoro Nagase, and a Japanese nun, both of whom belong to the Nipponzan Myohoji tradition of Japanese Buddhism, joined a group of Tibetans to prepare the site. They set up a small alter with an antique incense burner, wafting Tibetan and Japanese incense into the cool morning air.
When the Karmapa arrived, these personages were the main ones to welcome him. The sounds of Japanese chanting and the pulse of two circular flat drums accompanied the Karmapa as he moved down the line of well-wishers and climbed the marble stairs to the second level of the pagoda. He circumambulated its core three times, pausing along with the monk and nun in all the four directions at the tall alcoves, enshrining gilt-bronze statues of the Buddha. They represented the four major events of his life: birth, enlightenment, first teaching, and passing into nirvana.
In 1984, this elegant, dark-timbered and white pagoda was offered to London by the Ven. Nichidatsu Fuji (founder of Nipponzan Myohoji), whom his close friend Gandhi affectionately called “Guruji.” The Reverend has stated, “Civilization is not to kill human beings, not to destroy things, nor make war; civilization is to hold mutual affection and to respect one another.” These two qualities of affection and respect turned out to be central themes of the Karmapa’s teaching today, demonstrating once again the values held in common among all Buddhists and those seeking a lasting peace in this world.

On an average Corrosion eats into about five per cent of a country’s GDP. One way of looking at it is the negative effect this has on the economy’s exchequer, affecting growth and sustainability.
Another downside is that these figures reflect only the direct cost of corrosion i.e. materials, equipment and activities of maintenance. What gets left out is the implication on environment, wastage of resources, lost production and injury of personnel resulting from corrosion, notes a press release from the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).
As an inspiration from our Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi’s clarion call much is being done on ‘Zero Defect, Zero Effect.’ Looking at ‘Zero Effect’ in terms of manufacturing processes is something that the Indian Industry is striving to achieve.
Consequent to the elevated India-US dialogue, the Government of India has taken up Corrosion Management as a National Priority and the Ministry of Chemicals and Petrochemicals has been appointed as the nodal Ministry for the National Mission on Corrosion Management.
Shri Surjit Kumar Chaudhary, Secretary, Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals, Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilizers, during the inaugural address at the 3rd Corrosion Management Summit held in New Delhi, September 3 – 4, 2015, announced that the much required National Chemical Policy is at the verge of implementation. All the necessary groundwork is complete, he said.
He emphasized the importance of education and skill development in the chemical sector which could be of much importance for having professional who are equipped with the requisite skills for mitigating corrosion. Re-skilling and up-skilling would be an important aspect of this skilling program.
Dr Baldev Raj, Chairman, CII – Corrosion Management Committee and Director, National Institute of Advanced Studies put forth the industry a very powerful target. He inspired all to work together for the common cause. As a 10 year target we should focus at lowering losses incurred due to corrosion down to 1 per cent of GDP as compared to current losses pinned at a high of 6 per cent of the GDP. There is a need to move from systematic procedures to systemic plans and standardization to be able to achieve this target.
Mr John McCaslin, Minister Counselor for Commercial Affairs, U.S. Embassy – New Delhi exhorted the Indian Government and Indian industry to urgently formalize the National Standards for mitigating corrosion. Much information and expertise on corrosion related issues is available in the country, however, it is confined to certain pockets and areas of the industry. Government-Industry partnership could be a good solution for sustaining benefits of anti-corrosion technologies being propagated through training and certification programs.
An MoU between the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) represented by Mr R. Narayanan, Head – CII – Avantha Centre for Competitiveness for SMEs and NACE International Gateway India Section (NIGIS) represented by Dr Samir Degan, Trustee, was signed in the presence of Shri Surjit Kumar Chaudhary, Secretary, Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals, Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilizers, John McCaslin, Minister Counselor for Commercial Affairs, U.S. Embassy – New Delhi and Dr Baldev Raj, Chairman, CII – Corrosion Management Committee and Director, National Institute of Advanced Studies and other dignitaries on the occasion.
Conducting sector specific training and awareness sessions on corrosion.
CII and NIGIS can jointly bring in technology providers and industry together.
A set of 14 booklets were also released during the inaugural ceremony. The books are a ready reckoner for the industry professionals including the Dos and Don’ts, FAQ series, etc.
Continuous growth and progress in the industry is expected as new developments are encouraged in the arena of corrosion control. CII has been actively taking up the task of corrosion mitigation for about a decade now. The focus of CII’s mission is to protect people, assets and environment from the effects of corrosion. There is a need to convince all stakeholders that controlling corrosion would not only save money, but also have a positive impact on environment, the press release concludes.

The best advice anyone can give you, a gardener who’s only just starting out, is this – begin modestly. There’s a lot you have to understand more about gardening that merely can not be taught. You should learn on your very own. And it’s advisable to start learning on a tiny level.
Some kinds of plants don’t produce a whole lot of. You are not prone to get a lot for the efforts without having a very big garden. Corn would be one particular point. Should you develop berries however, you probably will create a lot in return, and you will have to take a position almost nothing in time or even cash. Berries make a lot of sense in other ways to.

Despite some early challenges and resistance, companies such as Google, Uber, and Drive. AI continue to pursue their efforts to make driverless cars an on-road reality. If the trend continues, and so far it appears that it will, Carol Reilly, president of Drive.AI, predicts that driverless cars will usher in a new personal and economic revolution akin to that of the smartphone.
According to Reilly, driverless cars are about much more than hard-code detection features powered by “if, then, else” statements. Her company is developing an artificial intelligence system that allows the driverless car to be powered by deep learning. Therefore, instead of using code to detect specific features such as guardrails or bicyclists, “deep driving” powered by deep learning can identify objects and people faster by processing multitudes of data at great speeds. The artificial intelligence is used for building maps, identifying objects on the road, and coordinating information from radar, lidar, and camera sensors. By working on these tasks simultaneously, deep learning provides a smoother ride for the rider while accounting for the randomness that inevitably occurs on the road.
Reilly expects the typical driverless car passenger to gain back approximately two hours of commute time each day, which is what will trigger the next big app boom inside the driverless car. In world in which riders are free from concentrating on driving, Reilly predicts a driverless car will become a personal hub akin to a mobile living space. While people go from point A to point B, they will essentially be sitting inside their cell phone, open to a new world of apps tailored specifically to the driverless car.
However, driverless cars have some challenges to overcome before they can usher in the revolution Reilly describes. Present models of self-driving cars, such as those tested by Uber in Philadelphia in 2016, do not yet employ deep learning. Instead, they rely on traditional coding and logic conventions that do not cover every situation that can arise on the road. Therefore, these models of autonomous vehicles still require human drivers to take over from time to time, such as when a driverless Uber car could not react to a truck making a right turn from the left lane. Another problem is navigating bridges, as they lack surrounding landmarks like buildings and therefore confuse the autonomous vehicle about its location. However, these challenges are expected to fade as deep learning systems become prevalent and there are fewer human drivers behind the wheel.
A more insurmountable challenge may lie in the underlying regulatory framework surrounding motor vehicles. Fearing the loss of thousands of jobs, the Upstate Transportation Association of New York, an organization that advocates for professional drivers, has petitioned the state government to ban driverless cars from the state’s roads for 50 years. Citing Uber’s testing of driverless cars, UTA fears that New York’s plans to allow ridesharing services such as Uber and Lyft beyond New York City will destroy the livelihood of professional drivers over the long run.
Nevertheless, despite UTA’s objections, New York is poised to follow through with its plans. Moreover, UTA’s objections have not received a response from the state government.

It is strange to wake up one day and realise that, as an adult, you are completely incapable of looking after yourself.
It is strange to realise that you have not bought groceries for yourself for more than 3 months, that you have not washed yourself in more than a week, that you have gone from experienced hiker to barely able to move from the floor of your apartment, but that was the situation that I found myself in just a few months ago.
I was suffering from depression.
I have been travelling since August 2010, and I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder 4 years previously. I know that often, being away from medical professionals you trust for a prolonged period of time can be one of the worst situations you can put yourself in if you suffer from mental illness. To begin with I felt this too.
I began my journey around the world by living alone in Germany, and here I was plunged into a depression. It was not so much that I wanted to kill myself, but more that I just wished I wasn’t alive anymore. From an outsider’s perspective, I had it all. I had a well-paying job, which I loved , I travelled every moment I had spare, I had great friends surrounding me and a wonderful apartment. But I found no joy in this.
Conversely, the 3 months I spent backpacking through Australia completely solo, using the funds I saved during my time in Germany were some of the happiest of my entire life.
I have always said that travelling helps my depression, but this is not completely true. The power of independence that I gain from travelling as well as the adrenaline that comes with seeing and experiencing new and exciting things certainly helps me. But mostly it’s the isolation that gets to me. My worst depressions have come from travel.
In my flat in Japan where I lived alone, I hit the worst depression of my life. Having lived alone for a year and a half I had reached breaking point, I finally contacted a suicide prevention centre, though this did little to help me.
The day after this collapse, I was sitting at the station platform, tears silently rolling down my face, contemplating throwing myself onto the tracks. Just as I watch the train pull in, that dark, angry voice shouts louder and louder in my ear, but out of nowhere a sound breaks the spell. I snap out of the angry thought cycle. The person on the other end doesn’t realise it yet, but that phone call has saved my life.
Budget travel is great for depression because of the hundreds of amazing and like-minded people that you meet on the trail. But you must be aware that isolating yourself thousands of miles from the people who love you, can leave you in a dangerous position.
As for me? I realised that being alone was my trigger, and so I called on everyone I love and pleaded for them to look after me. And they answered my call.

Van Life showcases the best crowd-sourced photographs from Foster’s tumblr account, van-life.net, many of which have never been posted. Organized into sections like Volkswagen vans, American vans, converted vans, school buses, and more, the hundreds of photos include shots of the unique vehicles, the beautiful locations they’ve been parked including stunning beaches, dramatic mountains and picturesque forests, fully designed interiors with kitchens and sleeping quarters, and more.
Also included are interviews with solo travelers, couples, and families who are living this new American dream.
This book was beautiful and I think it served it’s purpose well. There wasn’t a ton of information throughout the book actually talking about van life, but there were a lot of beautiful photos that really inspired me to want to take the leap towards van life.
If you saw my last review (Zero Waste) I mentioned there that I have been getting more and more interested in the idea of minimalism and zero waste. Included in that short list is also van conversions. This has been a more recent obsession, but I love the idea of using this vehicle as a home for traveling.
I’m so fortunate to be living in the middle of the US, so it’s fairly easy to go any direction, so I think van life would be a wonderful option for me. I love traveling, and I think this would be an interesting way to travel, even if it’s just for a few weeks or months at a time.
I’m just inspired even more to travel, but alas. I’m stuck in one city because of college for the time being. Soon, though. Maybe this summer will consist of at least one road trip.

After years abroad, Lord Daniel Bryant has come home to face his evil twin, find out who tried to kill him ten years ago, and uncover the meaning of a cryptic note from his late father’s solicitor. Of all the surprises that await him, none are more shocking than his brother’s fiancée throwing herself at him. When they were younger, Daniel cared for Julia. His affection for her quickly turns into more upon meeting her again. Daniel knows he cannot let Julia marry Edmund, but if he claims her for her own, she might be caught in the crosshairs when Daniel’s unknown enemy attacks.
A dashing hero, a spirited heroine, and a crazed assailant make The Heart of a Duke a lively tale. Victoria Morgan charms readers with her delightful characters even as the story suffers somewhat from extreme predictability. It’s impossible not to like Daniel and Julia, and their romance is both sweet and quietly sensual. Where The Heart of a Duke falls short for me is in the mystery plotline. The answers Daniel returns to England to seek seemed glaringly obvious to me and every twist the story took was so blatantly choreographed that I was left feeling disappointed. As for the story’s villain, sadly Edmund was a maniacal black-hatted type, and I truly wished there had been some shades of grey to his character.
Julia’s family and Daniel’s friends add sparkle to The Heart of a Duke, particularly handsome American Brett and Julia’s sister, Emily. The chemistry between Brett and Emily left me hungry for more, and I dearly hope that Ms. Morgan plans to write a story for these two. If I hadn’t been able to foresee the book’s climax from the beginning, I think I would have adored The Heart of a Duke. As it stands, I did like romance and the tale’s good guys had me smiling more often than not. If Ms. Morgan writes a book for Emily and Brett, I’ll definitely be first in line to buy it.

Veteran Hollywood actress Gloria Stuart, best remembered as the elderly Kate Winslet in Oscar-winning superhit Titanic has died. She was 100.
Stuart had been diagnosed with lung cancer five years ago. A founding member of the Screen Actors Guild, Stuart died Sunday night at her West Los Angeles home. The actress had also survived breast cancer 20 years ago.
"She just paid no attention to illness. She was a very strong woman and had other fish to fry," said Stuart's daughter Sylvia Thompson.
Stuart had won an Oscar nomination for her role as Rose Calvert, the 101-year-old survivor in the James Cameron directed Titanic.
A 1930s Hollywood leading lady, Stuart acted in movies like The Invisible Man, The Prisoner of Shark Island. She also appeared in Roman Scandals, Here Comes the Navy and Poor Little Rich Girl.
She featured in 42 films between 1932 and 1939 under her contract with Universal Studios and 20th Century Fox. Stuart later retired from the screen in 1946.
In Gloria Stuart: I Just Kept Hoping, her 1999 autobiography written with her daughter Sylvia Thompson, Stuart said that after reading the Titanic script, "I knew the role I had wanted and waited for all these many years had arrived. I could taste the role of Old Rose."
At 87, Stuart became the oldest actress ever nominated for an Academy Award for her role in Titanic. Winslet was also nominated for her role and it was the first time in Oscar history that two performers were nominated for playing the same character in the same film.

We Brits are obsessed with the weather. It is usually the first point of reference in smalltalk between strangers, and many of us are beholden to the forecast when making plans for days out. It comes as no surprise though, since these isles are at the whim of an array of different air masses, that can affect the weather day-to-day, and we are at the end of the jet stream which carries warm air to our shores from across the Atlantic and mixes with the colder air of the temperate latitudes. Our islands end up being hit by a barrage of low and high pressure systems, alternating over the course of a few days, each bringing with it a unique arrangement of meteorological circumstances that we simply call 'British Weather'.
That's right. The study shatters the myth that periods of gloomy weather and rain has an effect on our moods, making us unhappier and less friendly.
According to the University of Westminster's principal research fellow in economic and quantitative methods, Franz Buscha, who undertook a study compiling UK Met Office Data alongside wellbeing data from the British HOusehold Panel Survey, found that there was no evidence linking periods of sunshine to an upswing in the population's happiness.
Indeed, there was a 'statistically significant' negative relationship of 0.52% between a person's job satisfaction and sunny weather, suggesting that the reverse is true, and that periods of sunny weather make individuals resentful of their jobs. Perhaps being stuck indoors is the issue!
The study does also make a distinction between daily weather changes and seasonal patterns. So the evidence for Seasonal Affective Disorder is still substantial.
Still, for us at Brolliesgalore we do like the idea that people are not affected negatively by those rainy days. We do love a bit of rainy weather, as we get to try out our fabulous brollies, but it's lovely to know that everyone else isn't put off by those raindrops too!
To find out more, check out this article in the Guardian for further details of the study.

New Delhi. Delhi Daredevils Captain JP Duminy has been fined and banned for 1 match due to slow over rates in the ongoing IPL tournament. The decision has been taken by IPL discipline committee after Daredevils failed to complete 20 overs in required time-frame, straight for the 3rd time. Cricket Investigation of Daredevils (CID) is doing a deep investigation on this by watching recording of their previous matches.
We spoke to one of the investigation team member and they revealed that it is Imran Tahir’s wicket celebration which is causing an extra delay and in turn resulting in slow over rates.
The incident has divided Daredevil players into 2 groups. The group favoring Tahir are young Indian players and foreign players . The opposing group, also called THE LETHARGIANS belong to Yuvraj, Amit Mishra and Zaheer Khan . Yuvraj Singh even said that by celebrating so much, Tahir is actually mocking his bad form. Zaheer Khan also echoed Yuvraj’s thoughts.
Our reporters caught Imran Tahir during practice sessions where he was practicing his googly i.e. leg break.

Who would have believed I would write for nearly three hours then lose everything ?!?!? Today is the thirtieth anniversary of my Father's death. I waited until very early this morning to transfer my written notes to the computer-- to write my feelings-- to share memories of my Father--memories no one knows but me.
I'd written several pages, edited them, and had begun sharing the details of my anger when....the computer screen went black and the computer shut down!!!!! ...In all my years of writing, composing, editing, and rewriting... this never happened. I follow the same pattern each time I write. I edit, change my sentences, re-arrange paragraphs.... and only save my documents when I've finished. I was so careful when writing my book and, in all those days and months of writing...my computer never gave me a problem.
In all my years of using a computer, whether at work or at home, I never once experience a computer shutdown! I've never lost any of my writing!
When I rebooted my computer, everything I'd written for three hours was gone. Yes, everything was gone after sharing all my thoughts. It's no coincidence that the very moment I began writing about my recent experience with Evil....the computer died.
I'm overwhelmed....actually shaking. I need some time to recover from this experience. I'm not alone.
I know God is with me but....I also know I'm in the presence of Evil. I feel it's power. I feel its strength as it fights me for control.

Who Are the Weed for Warriors?
yet account for 20% of national suicide rate.
California Senate Bill 1302, Supported By Weed For Warriors Project, Offers The Only Option For Veteran Access To Medicine In Cannabis Deserts.
Veterans represent 7% of the American population, yet account for 20% of national suicide rate. The suicide rate among veterans is about twice that of the general population, and has been rising among younger veterans who served during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. WFW Project finds these numbers unacceptable. The assistance and prescription programs our veterans are provided with are not working. We believe cannabis is the answer. Watch, read and learn about our goal to use this life saving plant to restore our veterans’ confidence, mental well being, and ability to lead normal healthy lives.
WFW Project participates in a number of social, awareness & advocacy and cannabis community events. By working with the community, WFW Project aims to build a structure for veterans to gain help, comraderie, and safe access to better, natural cannabis based medicine. Interested in volunteering, helping out a local chapter or simply finding an event to join? Read about our local chapters, view our events calendar and sign up to volunteer.
Every day, Veterans are being prescribed harsh pharmaceutical drugs that are extremely addictive and have been linked to thousands of Veteran suicides. Cannabis has been proven to help with PTSD, cancer, chronic pain, sleep disorders, crohn’s disease, migraines, addiction withdrawal and has statistically lowered the suicide rate in states where it is legal. Please help us fight for Veterans rights by making a donation to aid our cause today.


text: Recent controversies over identity claims have prompted questions about who should qualify for affirmative action, who counts as family, who is a man or a woman, and who is entitled to the benefits of U.S. citizenship. Commentators across the political spectrum have made calls to settle these debates with evidence of official designations on birth certificates, application forms, or other records. This move toward formalities seeks to transcend the usual divide between those who believe identities should be determined based on objective biological or social standards, and those who believe identities are a matter of individual choice. Yet legal scholars have often overlooked the role of formalities in identity determination doctrines. This Article identifies and describes the phenomenon of “formal identity,” in which the law recognizes those identities individuals claim for themselves by executing formalities. Drawing on Lon Fuller’s classic work on the benefits of formality in commercial law contexts, it offers a theory explaining the appeal of formal identity. But it concludes that reformers should be skeptical of the concept. Formal identity may set traps for the unwary, eliminate space for subversive or marginal identities, and legitimize identity-based systems of inequality. Ultimately, this Article urges critical examination not merely of formal identity, but of the functions identity categories serve in the law.

The Singularity University's (SU) summer Graduate Studies Program culminates in team projects intended to create viable businesses to solve the world's major challenges. "We've had 45 or so startups spin out of SU," says Salim Ismail, SU's "global ambassador". "Half are still alive, half of those have received funding, and a few, about ten per cent, are on their way, we think, to changing the world."
One of those is Matternet, which aims to build a mesh network of unmanned drones to carry supplies to places hard to reach by road -- whether a Haitian earthquake zone or a remote African village. Matternet cofounder Andreas Raptopoulos envisages a network of self-navigating quadcopters that can be programmed not only with their destination's co-ordinates but so that they work together to enable goods to be carried long distances. "You can carry 2kg over 10km today in 15 minutes, flying at 120 metres," says Raptopoulos. "The cost will be $0.24 (£0.15) for 10km. We want to replicate the mobile-telephony model, with last-mile-delivery incentives."
Equally ambitious is Modern Meadow, a startup which is working on "bioprinting" leather and meat using biomaterials. "This process will require lower inputs of land, water and chemicals, and will involve no harm to animals," says CEO Andras Forgacs.
Other spin-offs include Popquake, a network of cheap solar-powered seismic sensors for early earthquake detection; Cambrian Genomics, which has a novel technique for printing DNA; and most successfully, Getaround, a ride-sharing scheme that has raised $19m (£12.2m) in funding.
