The TOEIC® program is used by organizations around the world to prepare graduates for the global work environment and to hire, place, train and promote employees.
In order to provide valid, fair and reliable test scores to these organizations, the TOEIC® Research Program aims to support the quality of the TOEIC® tests through ongoing research.
For an inclusive overview, see a list of all TOEIC research studies and reports in one place and understand why organizations trust TOEIC scores for their relevant decision making.
Validity: What Does It Mean for the TOEIC® Tests?
This paper provides a nontechnical overview of test development and research projects undertaken to ensure that TOEIC test scores serve as valid indicators of test takers' skills to communicate in English in global workplace environments.
The main value of the TOEIC tests lies in their validity, which can be defined as the extent to which the tests do what we claim they can do.
Assessing English-Language Proficiency In All Four Language Domains: Is It Really Necessary?
This article examines and argues in favor of assessing English-language proficiency using a comprehensive four-skill assessment (i.e., listening, speaking, reading and writing) rather than just a select subset of those skills. Different use cases for TOEIC tests lead to the conclusion that in most cases, English-language proficiency is best evaluated using a comprehensive four-skill assessment.
Typically, human raters are used to score Speaking and Writing tests because of their ability to evaluate a broader range of language performance than automated systems. This paper describes how ETS ensures the reliability and consistency of scores by human raters for TOEIC Speaking and Writing tests through training, certification, and systematic administrative and statistical monitoring procedures.
Through examination of test scores, this research found that the TOEIC tests measure distinct but related skills, and that, taken together, they provide a reasonably complete picture of English-language proficiency. This finding provides additional evidence that four-skill approach to language proficiency assessment is crucial.
The scoring process for the TOEIC Listening and Reading test includes monitoring procedures that help ensure that scores are consistent across different forms and test administrations, and that skill interpretations are fair. This study explores the possibility of using information about test takers' backgrounds in order to enhance several types of monitoring procedures. Results of the analyses suggested that some background variables may facilitate the monitoring of test performance across administrations, thereby strengthening quality control procedures for the TOEIC Listening and Reading test as well as strengthening evidence of score consistency.
To ensure that tests continue to meet the needs of test takers and score users, it is important that testing programs periodically revisit their assessments. For this reason, in order to keep up with the continuously changing use of English and the ways in which individuals commonly communicate in the global workplace and everyday life, an updated TOEIC Listening and Reading test was designed and first launched in May 2016.
For educational tests, it is critical to maintain consistency of score scales and to understand the sources of variation in score means over time. This helps ensure that interpretations about test takers' abilities are comparable from one administration (or form) to another. Using statistical procedures, this study examined the consistency of reported scores for the TOEIC Speaking and Writing tests.
This study used a statistical technique called "factor analysis" to determine which statistical model best explained performance on the TOEIC Listening and Reading test. Researchers found that a model (two-factor model) in which reading and listening skills were represented as distinct abilities best accounted for performance, consistent with how scores are supposed to be interpreted.
This study provided preliminary insights into how TOEIC scores are used to inform personnel decisions related to the hiring, promotion and training of employees. The ultimate objective was to support appropriate test score use and meaningful score-based interpretations in order to facilitate human resource management decisions.
This paper compares the content, reliability and difficulty of the classic and 2006 redesigned TOEIC Listening and Reading tests. Although the redesigned tests included slightly different item types to better reflect current models of language proficiency, the tests were judged to be similar across versions.
This report describes the goals and outcomes of a project to update the TOEIC Listening and Reading test in 2016. The use of English for communication, particularly in international workplace contexts, is continually evolving. Therefore, the TOEIC Listening and Reading test is reexamined periodically to ensure that the test content reflects current communication in the workplace and in daily life, thereby supporting meaningful interpretations about English-language skills and promoting a positive impact on English teaching and learning.
In testing programs, multiple forms of a test are used across different administrations to prevent overexposure of test forms and to reduce the possibility of test takers gaining advance knowledge of test content. Because slight differences may occur in the statistical difficulty of the alternate forms, a statistical procedure known as test score linking has been commonly used to adjust for these differences in difficulty so that test forms are comparable.
Traditionally, researchers have used the term "authenticity" to refer to the degree to which tasks on a language test correspond to those used in the real world, with authenticity being a desired characteristic of tasks and tests. This white paper explains how the format of several questions in the TOEIC Speaking test was expanded to include a greater variety of real-world situations.
This paper describes procedures implemented on the TOEIC Speaking and Writing tests for monitoring individual rater performance and enhancing overall scoring quality. These multifaceted, carefully developed procedures help ensure that the potential for human error is kept to a minimum, thereby contributing to the TOEIC tests' scoring consistency and reliability.
The TOEIC Listening test includes items or tasks related to the global workplace and with a variety of authentic contexts. As the need for an ever larger number of test forms has increased, an important goal for the TOEIC Listening test has been to increase the efficiency of item generations by maintaining a large pool of items across a wide range of contexts has been an important goal for the TOEIC Listening test.
This study investigated whether proficiency in a particular language skill (e.g., speaking) could be better estimated by considering not only the TOEIC test scores corresponding to that skill, but also TOEIC tests scores for other skills. The results supported this assertion, suggesting that scores on the four-skill TOEIC tests together provide a more valid measurement of English-language proficiency than any skill in isolation.
Evidence-Centered Design (ECD) is an assessment development methodology which explicitly clarifies what an assessment measures and supports skills interpretations based on test scores. This paper describes the ECD processes used to develop the TOEIC Speaking and Writing tests. Evidence collected through the test design process produced foundational support for the validity of TOEIC Speaking and Writing test score interpretations.
Differential item functioning (DIF) is a statistical procedure used to identify items or tasks that are unexpectedly biased in some way, inappropriately favoring one group of test takers over another. One of the challenges for speaking and writing tests is the lack of proven, practical DIF techniques that can be used to analyze performance-based or "constructed-response" tests. This paper investigates several such techniques and illustrates how research is being conducted to ensure the fairness of score interpretations.
This paper describes the results of a field study for the 2006 redesigned TOEIC Listening and Reading tests, which includes analyses of item and test difficulty, reliability and correlations between test sections with classic TOEIC Listening and Reading tests. Results are consistent with another comparability study (Liao, Hatrak and Yu's in 2010), which found evidence of the reliability of the redesigned tests, and suggested that scores on the redesigned test could be interpreted and used in similar ways to classic TOEIC Listening and Reading test scores.
This study sought to assess the degree to which TOEIC Bridge scores correspond to student self-assessments and teacher assessments of students, two measurements of English-language proficiency. TOEIC Bridge scores were found to be moderately correlated with these measurements, a finding which provides validity evidence that TOEIC Bridge scores can be meaningfully interpreted as indicators of English-language proficiency.
This study sought to compare TOEIC Bridge scores to test takers' self-evaluations of their own abilities to perform everyday language tasks in English. The results suggest that the test scores correlated well with test takers' self-evaluations, providing further evidence in support of the of TOEIC Bridge scores as valid and fair indicators of English-language proficiency.
As time progresses, it becomes important to revisit the design of a test to ensure that its conceptualization of language proficiency aligns with current theory and test tasks continue to be indicative of real-world tasks. This report outlines the goals, theoretical alignment, procedures and outcomes of a redesign effort for the TOEIC Listening and Reading test.
After any test redesign project — such as the redesign of the TOEIC Listening and Reading test in 2006 — it is important to provide evidence that test scores can still be meaningfully interpreted. This study examined the relationship between scores on the redesign of the TOEIC Listening and Reading test and test takers' perceptions of their own English proficiency. Researchers found moderate correlations between the test scores and test takers' perceptions, providing evidence that scores on the redesigned TOEIC Listening and Reading tests are meaningful indicators of English ability.
This study examines the relationship between TOEIC Listening and Reading scores and TOEIC Speaking and Writing scores in order to determine whether or not Listening and Reading scores should be used as predictors of Speaking and Writing scores and vice versa. Findings support the validity of test scores for the measured skills (e.g., Listening and Reading test scores provide meaningful interpretations of Listening and Reading skills).
This study sought to compare scores on the TOEIC Speaking and Writing tests to students' self-evaluations of their abilities to perform everyday English-language tasks. The researchers reported relatively strong correlations between test scores and the self-evaluations. This finding contributes further evidence in support of TOEIC Speaking and Writing test scores as indicators of English-language proficiency. This study was also published as Powers, Kim, Weng, and Van Winkle (2009).
Scale anchoring is a process that groups test scores into score ranges or proficiency levels. It uses a combination of statistical methods and expert judgment to produce descriptions of the skills and knowledge typically exhibited by test takers at each proficiency level. This research report describes the scale anchoring process for TOEIC Listening and Reading tests, which facilitates meaningful score interpretations.
This study investigated the relationship between TOEIC Bridge scores and students' evaluations of their own English-language proficiency. The TOEIC Bridge test scores were found to be correlated with self-reported reading and listening skills, providing evidence that TOEIC Bridge test scores are valid or meaningful indicators of English-language reading and listening proficiency.
This study compared TOEIC Bridge scores with teachers' assessments of test takers' abilities to perform everyday language tasks in English. The authors reported moderate correlations between these assessments and test scores, which provide supporting evidence of the validity of TOEIC Bridge test scores as indicators of English-language proficiency.

text: A powerful convergence of genetics, neuroimaging and epidemiological research has identified the biological pathways mediating individual differences in complex behavioral processes and the related risk for disease. Orthologous genetic variation in non-human primates (NHPs) represents a unique opportunity to characterize the detailed molecular and cellular mechanisms that bias behaviorally and clinically relevant brain function. We report that a rhesus macaque orthologue of a common polymorphism of the serotonin transporter gene (rh5-HTTLPR) has strikingly similar effects on behavior and brain morphology to those in humans. Specifically, the rh5-HTTLPR (S)hort allele broadly affects cognitive choice behavior and brain morphology without observably affecting the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) transporter or 5-HT(1A) concentrations in vivo. Collectively, our findings indicate that 5-HTTLPR-associated behavioral effects reflect genotype-dependent biases in cortical development rather than static differences in serotonergic signaling mechanisms. Moreover, these data highlight the vast potential of NHP models in advancing our understanding of human genetic variation affecting behavior and neuropsychiatric disease liability.

For most people with a desire to lose weight or maintain weight loss metabolism seems in come into question. Most will say there metabolism is too slow. All of us will notice with age that we can’t eat the same way we did when we were younger and get away with it. For some reason now the calories leave their mark in added body fat when they wouldn’t have even just a few years ago. Many with a history of excess weight point to a lifetime of slow metabolism as the root cause. Can one truly have a slow metabolism? Can we change our metabolism? First we need to look at what metabolism actually is and how it works. Once we have an understanding of that we can realistically set about to make changes of what we can control.
The word metabolism refers to all the chemical reactions that occur in a living organism including digestion, transport of substances into and between cells, the breakdown and build-up of substances for releasing and storing energy and the elimination of waste products. A person’s Basal Metabolic Rate is the minimum caloric requirement to sustain life in a restive state. This includes energy needed to complete the above mentioned chemical reactions as well as things like the body rebuilding and healing, respiration, the pumping of blood and maintaining body temperature; these all burn calories. The BMR is the largest factor in determining a person’s metabolic rate responsible for around 70% of energy usage. There is little you can do to change your BMR. Some contributing factors to BMR are age (we lose about 2% per decade) body surface area (a large surface area equates to a larger metabolism). Contrary to what is generally believed a fat person has a higher metabolism than a skinny person (fat burns about 3 calories per lb. per day). Body temperature as well as external environmental temperature may increase metabolism. Body composition too is a factor (more muscle means a higher caloric burn rate). Prolonged starvation can significantly lower metabolism. Genetics as well as hormonal health (thyroxin is a BMR regulator) are also major factors.
Your total metabolism is your BMR plus your activity energy expenditure (10-20% of energy use) and finally diet induced thermogenesis (energy used during eating and digestion).
Dieting is what we do when we want to lose weight unfortunately any diet will lead to a slower metabolism. When we eat less calories a number of things happen; you become smaller and smaller means your body needs less calories so you have to continue to eat less. The next thing that happens is our bodies try to compensate by becoming more efficient with the calories you do consume (this takes only a matter of weeks). Follow this with the body breaking down muscle to fuel itself which again lowers your requirement (1 lb. of muscle burns around 7 kcal per day). Then of course there is the fact that the brain sends out hunger signals trying to get you to eat more. Sounds unfair, but it’s the way our species survived famines.
Technically we are not actually going to boost metabolism, but rather minimize its slowdown while trying to reduce body fat. Here are 5 steps to aid metabolism.
1) Eat more frequent smaller meals. Think of a furnace you put fuel in and the fire grows. Eating increases the thermic effect of food (calories used for digestion and mastication) keeping your metabolism from falling into starvation mode.
2) Eat more protein and fiber. Protein and fiber can keep the metabolism from falling. Protein requires more energy for digestion than either carbohydrates or fats so you will realize less of the calories consumed. Fiber also helps to keep you full longer so the hunger signals are more avoidable. Cutting carbohydrates in the form of simple sugars and starches reduces insulin response. This equates to a net gain of 250+ calories in metabolism per day.
3) Don’t restrict calories excessively. Drastic calorie cutting will significantly erode your metabolism. Eat at minimum 10 calories per pound of body weight. Remember BMR accounts for 70% of your caloric intake. The brain is the biggest user of energy in the body at about 20%. These need to be fed.
4) Do resistance training. Muscle building exercise will help spare you from muscle loss by preventing their breakdown to a fuel source. Remember more muscle means more metabolism. Try to do either weight training, resistance bands and even body weight training 2-3 times a week. The workouts should be full body and progressively difficult.
5) Go slow. A person who drops from 180 lbs. to 150 lbs. will not burn as many calories per day as a person who was always 150 lbs. This is a sad recently discovered fact. Essentially their body wants to return to 180 lbs. as its set point (weight it wants to be at). To combat this, lose only about 5-10% of your body weight then maintain. Your body will readjust its set point in a little less than 6 months. At this point the metabolism will become less efficient and it will be easier to maintain the weight loss or you can more easily lose more.
One last detail is sleep. Your body goes through remodeling as you sleep and this requires time. Try for at least 7-8 hours a night. Now it’s time to begin your transformation. Enjoy.

I can’t think of a more exciting addition to Whistler than a university. Not only would it constitute a superb cultural and social asset, but also an important element of economic diversification in a valley still precariously dependent on winter recreation, an industry whose long-term future faces a real threat from climate change.
On the subject of environmental considerations, I hope AWARE relents in its opposition to the construction of the facility on the Alpha Creek lands. Over the years we’ve already sacrificed hundreds of hectares of swamp, marsh and riparian habitat for the sake of golf courses, ball fields, residential developments and parking lots. We’ve also allowed Kadenwood and Stonebridge (whose full-page ads were also featured in last week’s Pique) to sprawl way upslope: extravagant, unsustainably car-dependent residences.
In contrast, a small university community north of Function Junction would be conveniently accessible by bicycle and transit. With imaginative design and emphasis on minimal accommodation for automobiles, I’m sure a compact campus could be built with an acceptable footprint, a showcase for the type of efficient land use that has become essential in the 21 st century. Some loss of natural habitat would be inevitable, but in the long run the net ecological impact of such an institution would likely be positive, especially if University of Canada West offers a curriculum that includes courses on outdoor education, climatology and environmental studies.
Whistler already lost one opportunity to host a university when Quest was rejected over a bed cap issue. We mustn’t blow a second chance over another minor obstacle. As a life member of AWARE, I suggest we give up one more little swamp in order to take advantage of a phenomenal opportunity to improve life in this valley.
I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all of the residents and business leaders who encouraged us to locate a London Drugs store in Whistler Village.
While we are disappointed we respect the decision of the Whistler Council. We understand the RMOW is doing what it believes is best for Whistler.
Of utmost importance to London Drugs is for Whistler residents to know we have sincerely appreciated your encouragement and efforts on our behalf. Rest assured that if the RMOW were to revisit its decision in the future, London Drugs would be pleased to consider the business case for a Whistler store.

How to pronounce design in Portuguese: Brazil Today, the design exhibition initiated by MUDE museum in Lisbon, is undoubtedly one of the most significant design-related events of the year. Bárbara Coutinho, the director of MUDE invites the curator Frederico Duarte to establish a deep insight of the two countries correlation, their material identity and common culture, now. The result is a fascinating exploration of objects and messages, that transpass the usual design equations of the old continent and stimulate the human intellect to discover new dimensions and new solutions in the contemporary living era. An exhibition of rare beauty and honesty that seriously "flips the coin" of what we used to know up to this point - showcasing products conceived by designers coming from every corner of the vast Brazilian continent - yet so closely affiliated with the current Portuguese history and society, but also aligned to the issues and challenges of the global community.

Makeovers. What a remarkable change-of-appearance can be achieved with a becoming hairstyle (and maybe color-enhancement!), deftly applied make-up, and well-fitted clothing. Add the benefit of plastic surgery and a person hardly resembles her former self.
But the transformation of someone’s face and body doesn’t begin to compare to the transformation of someone’s spirit.
Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person.
Notice: We’re not just improved and beautified. Jesus remakes each of us into a brand new person.
The more we know of God and appreciate all his benefits, the more we want to please him by following his example. That new attitude impacts every aspect of our lives.
Just knowing God has our best interest at heart is enough to renew energy and hope.
Think of it: the same power that controls the universe is at work within us. Tell me again why we revert to worrying?!
We do not need to live at the mercy of our circumstances. With God as our constant companion, we can experience peace and joy in spite of what happens. The Bible is full of examples of people who lived that way: Joseph, Daniel, Peter, and Paul readily come to mind.
God is not only with us, he is our Protector, Provider, and Guide. As we become increasingly aware of his faithfulness, our trust grows. Trust = confidence.
(“The faithful love of the LORD never ends!
Experience tells us that when we say “yes” to Jesus, God does not bestow the full measure of all of these wonderful new things instantaneously. God told Isaiah: “Behold I am doing a new thing” (Isaiah 43:19). That hints at process. We’re made new, but growing into that newness.
Think of buying a coat in the fall that’s a little too big for your child. She owns the coat, but it doesn’t quite fit yet. Within a matter of weeks however, the sleeves hit the wrist not the fingertips, and the shoulder seams sit properly–no sagging down the arms.
Might it be that when we invite Jesus in our lives, our spirits are made new, but we don’t quite fit into them yet? Then, as we cooperate with Holy Spirit and his fruit grows within us (Galatians 5:22-23), we steadily become more Christ-like, day by day.
**Based on idea from Jesus Calling by Sarah Young, Thomas Nelson, p. 381.

Share your thoughts in the comment section below. I’d love to hear from you!
I loved this Nancy… My e-mail was down for weeks so I am behind on your posts… Loved the scriptures you chose and the illustration of a child growing into a coat like us growing into who God calls us to be!! Appreciate your posts and all you put into them… Hugs from God!
Thank you, Lisa. Praying for you as well as Michael as he recuperates. I often think of the “good old days” when we could share and pray in person every week!
Nancy, I really liked the coat analogy…..we’ve already been given a new ‘coat’–maybe that’s why Apostle Paul urges us to ‘put on Christ’. Great encouragement.
I almost used that verse from Colossians (3:12). So many wonderful scriptures describe our new life in Christ! Thank you for stopping by so frequently, Jody; I appreciate your loyal following. And now, after so many months of waiting, one of my dreams will soon come true: meeting you in person. Looking forward greatly to the retreat!
Lovely post and so encouraging. New blessings sounds delightful too. both to receive and to give.
Oh, yes! That’s another aspect of the new us: we actually enjoy being a blessing to others. Thank you, Jean!
Thank you, Christine. I’m delighted you found the post meaningful. Praise God!
Thank you, Cheri. Praise God for the encouragement he brought to you through this post! I am so grateful when he does so.

New Delhi: Virat Kohli is in England for the ICC Champions Trophy cricket tournament, which marks the start of a formidable season for the Indian team in his first year as captain in all three formats of the game.
India has been at the top of its game for the past year, rising to No.1 in Test rankings, but most of its wins have come on home ground. The next year or so will be different, with the Champions Trophy to be followed by a series of tough overseas tours that promises to test Kohli and his team’s mettle.
But at least in one aspect of his career, he has already left all other sportsmen in India behind—his brand value. In October, a report on India’s most valuable celebrity brands published by Duff & Phelps, a New York-based corporate finance advisory firm, put Kohli’s brand value at $92 million, second only to Shah Rukh Khan’s $131 million.
You were the second most valuable celebrity in India before you signed a Rs110 crore deal with Puma in February. What do you think your valuation is now?
The Puma deal happened alongside the MRF deal, so it must be $120 million plus now. These are just numbers for me, it’s something my management informs me about. It’s not something I strive for or work towards, it’s just a by-product of whatever I’m doing in my professional career, so the focus always remains on that. But yes, these things are an important facet of your life and I have a strong management team that’s really doing a good job with me on that.
Even Sachin Tendulkar at his peak or M.S. Dhoni at his peak did not command the reach and value that you do now. What has changed in the way sportsmen in India are marketed?
I can’t really pinpoint that to anything but you have to understand where the commercial market is going. In general, the money has increased in the sport, the money has increased with brands, so it’s always going to be a progress. The guy coming in after this group of cricketers is done, they may make more money with brands. And the game is progressing as well, going a little bit more global, and all these factors play a massive role in your brand valuation going up. But it also has to be a natural thing for people to find that connect with you. I haven’t made a conscious effort towards that, I’ve just been myself, but maybe people have started connecting to me in a way, and that’s one of the reasons. When you are playing on the field your emotions are raw, and if people connect to you, they do; if they don’t, they don’t. It’s as simple as that.
How do you manage your time? Do you participate in the process when you are making a deal?
I’m part of everything actively. Nothing is blindly signed, it’s always discussed, and my management also does not bring things to the table that do not connect to me. The owner of the company (Cornerstone), Bunty (Sajdeh), I’m very close to him and he understands my personality, my character, so they won’t bring something to me that does not resonate with me in any case. But even then, it’s subject to whether I like it or not. A particular brand may be very big but the campaigns they are willing to do, or the creative freedom may not be in our hands, and if that doesn’t resonate with what I believe in, I can still reject it.
So you would reject something if it does not, say, align with your well-known fitness philosophy?
When I started my fitness turnaround, it was more of a lifestyle thing initially. But now I think it has become so important to the sport —everyone’s taking it up in such a big way—that for me it’s become a part of my thinking pattern. If something goes away from that, I would not want to be a part of that or be promoting that. We are actually on the cusp of making some big changes on that front. Things that I’ve endorsed in the past, I won’t take names, but something that I feel that I don’t connect to anymore. If I myself won’t consume such things, I won’t urge others to consume it just because I’m getting money out of it.
Your Puma deal runs for eight years, which is quite long, and you get a fixed payout from them. How hard were the negotiations? What are your obligations?
I don’t think the negotiations were hard. My primary demand or my condition was that I want to start a sportsline of my own, especially in cricket. Although you might say that it’s the biggest sport in the nation, if you want to go and buy cricket clothes it’s very difficult to get good quality stuff. I understand how big a role the way your clothes are made plays in the way you feel on the field. If it doesn’t have enough ventilation—small things matter a lot—it might just produce too much heat within the attire. I wanted to create something on that front. Puma was willing to do that with me. They have the creative freedom to make something and make those changes immediately and there’s no lapse in what I want to do and what they wanted to do with me.
Tell me a little bit about the Virat Kohli Foundation?
The foundation we set up quite a while back, but to get it rolling we needed to raise funds in a big way. The primary reason was to give children facilities in basic education, sports, work with schools and colleges to do sessions. We wanted to do these things but it took a bit of time to come together. But now we are up and running and we are doing a charity dinner in London as well for the foundation, so whatever funds we raise from that, we will then figure out what the issues are that we want to address. This is something I would like to do much more in the future.

Natural disasters happen all the time, without warning. We hear about them all over the world, and a lot of times we think, “That could never happen here.” But, it could! The best start to being prepared for emergencies, from natural disasters to layoffs, is a decent food storage. And, why not make your food storage natural and healthy while you’re at it?
Rather than gathering foods from only one food group, add a variety to your food supply. You will need proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and all other necessary nutrition to stay fit and healthy during the disaster.

(Water Lilies) without any prior experience of making a first short film. After this film everything went very fast. Céline Sciamma is probably one of the best French film directors to have appeared in recent years. Although she looks like a girl just out of high school she is very mature and organized.
For her fist three films she dived into youth (Water Lilies, Tomboy, Girlhood), always with a great deal of freshness and lightness. In her first film, Water Lilies, she examined the moment when desire materializes in a young girl’s mind. Tomboy, her second film is a splendid chronicle, free of any counterfeiting, of a young girl who pretends she is a boy. Her last film, Girlhood, which was presented at the opening of the Quinzaine des réalisateurs in Cannes, follows the path that brings together a group of “bad girls”.
The Fémis Film School celebrates its 30th anniversary!

Argentina is a country of infinitely captivating landscapes, from the snow-capped mountains of the Andes to the waterfalls of Iguazú. The combination of wildlife, opportunities for outdoor adventures and the culture and history that its cities offer, make Argentina the perfect destination for a South American vacation.
Each region of Argentina offers amazing vistas and an abundance of activities, like horse riding in Patagonia, wine tasting in Mendoza, skiing or hiking in the Lake District and whale watching in Peninsula Valdés. At the heart of all this is the capital, Buenos Aires: a contemporary city that is buzzing with energy. Buenos Aires is where the spirit of Tango thrives, soccer is more than just a passion, steaks are enormous and the Porteños (people from Buenos Aires) dance the night away till the wee hours.
Ever beautiful San Carlos de Bariloche, lying on the shores of Lake Nahuel Huapi and surrounded by mountains and the world famous Nahuel Huapi National Park, is one of the most attractive cities in the world. During the winter season Bariloche is the most important winter sport destination of South America.
Located at 1.660 meters above sea level, the village of Cafayate is well known due to its famous Torrontes wine production. The right combination of temperature and humidity in this region provides the ideal environment for the growth of the sweet and deep fruit flavor.
Córdoba is the second-largest city in Argentina and the main urban development in the central region of the country. Even though it is nestled in a vast valley, it is surrounded by the heights of various mountain ranges that create a unique microclimate. This beautiful city offers a compelling history as well as impressive sceneries.
As soon as you arrive in El Calafate, you realize that you have landed in an entirely different world! In the middle of the Patagonia highlands you are surrounded by a breathtaking landscape of high mountains, glaciers and ice. You are in the far southwest of the Santa Cruz province, where the most spectacular mountain range of Argentina is situated.
El Chaltén is a small mountain village located 135 miles north of El Calafate and was created in 1985 to help secure the disputed border with Chile. It is situated in the Glacier National Park, at the base of the Torre and Fitz Roy Mountain peaks. The landscape combines the magic of glaciers, hidden lagoons, estancias, Lake Viedma, and the magnetic presence of the Fitz Roy Mountain.
The word ´Iberá´ means ´bright waters´ in the Guaraní tongue. When watching the moon glowing on the lagoons and the marshlands in these Corrientes lowlands, it is not hard to guess why the old Guaraní Indians chose such a name for this place. The area is one of the largest natural reserves in the country, with sceneries of unique beauty and a huge wildlife variety.
Iguazú is without doubt the most impressive natural wonder of South America! The spectacular waterfalls are situated on the border between Argentina and Brazil. The waterfalls are the widest of the world, with up to 260 (depending on the water level, which can vary) big and small waterfalls with a total width of almost two miles.
The Lake District is undeniably one of the most beautiful areas of South America. Outdoor enthusiasts from all over the world come here in search of extreme outdoor adventures and peaceful escapes into nature. Trekking, skiing, white water rafting, mountain biking, kayaking, rock climbing and fishing are some of the many activities offered in the region.
Mendoza, famous for lodging Mount Aconcagua and for its Malbec wines, is one of the most beautiful cities in the country. Nestled in the foothills of the Andes Mountain Range, it gives shape to an incredible oasis created by man with the help of the Mendoza and Tunuyán Rivers, which have been wisely channeled into a huge irrigation system that gives life to everything it touches.
Puerto Madryn is situated at the deep blue waters of the ‘Nuevo Golfo’, New Gulf, on the East of the Province of Chubut, and it is located on the cliffs shaped like a small plateau that offer an impressive view of the Atlantic Ocean. Puerto Madryn is the gateway to Peninsula Valdés and one of the most touristic places of Argentina and it is famous worldwide for its amazing whale watching.
Salta is known as ‘Salta la linda’, meaning ‘Salta the beautiful’. It is not difficult to understand why Salta has been given this name! Stunning landscapes, interesting history, gorgeous colonial buildings and many opportunities for outdoor activities make Salta one of the most beautiful cities in Argentina.
Ushuaia is located between the Beagle Channel and the Andes, surrounded by forests and glaciers. The city offers a great variety of activities, including sailing on the Beagle Channel, hiking in Tierra del Fuego National Park, taking the train to the end of the world and visiting Antarctica.

Cleveland yoyo player and recent addition to the Recess Intl. team Colin Beckford picked up a nice interview in the recent wave of press for the announcement of Cleveland, Ohio as the host city for the 2016 World YoYo Contest. Check out an excerpt below, along with a link to the full article.
Colin Beckford, a 15-year-old junior at St. Ignatius High School, practices two to four hours a day. He doesn’t play video games, he doesn’t watch television. This past summer he beat out hundreds to win the 2015 International Yo-Yo Championship (IYYC), which ranks him 17th on the planet. Beckford is an international yo-yo champion. You read that right – yo-yos.
In pursuit of excellence, this past summer alone, Beckford traveled to Orlando, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan. In Minnesota he competed in the Midwest Regional Yo-Yo Championship and won in the 1A and 3A categories.* In Michigan he completed in the Mideast Regional Yo-Yo Championship, where he won 1A and 3A categories as well. In August it was the International Yo-Yo Championship in Anaheim, where he took first place in the 1A category, beating over 100 competitors.
Beckford’s parents point to his tenacity, focus and skill “[Yo-yoing] is not like throwing and catching a ball,” Dawn says. “There’s a lot more to it – it’s nerdy and smart; he’s really found his niche.” She suggests watching some of his skill on YouTube videos.

VERANES amongst the placegetters last start running third at Wyong and goes up in distance for the first time, a winning chance. CAPPAMORE finished five lengths off the winner last start at Hawkesbury and placed once this prep at Kembla, still in this. LUCKY HELMET placed last start at Wyong when resuming and gets the blinkers on for the first time, could upset. IMPETUOSO kept chasing and just missed last start at Newcastle when first up, capable of getting into the money.
Lucky Helmet won by 1.18L.
Ran five lengths back from the winner last start at Hawkesbury. Likely to race off the speed and placed once this prep at Kembla. Expect to be right up there.
Having first start for a new trainer and up 2kg from last run. Placed once this prep at Hawkesbury but cannot entertain.
Finished worse than midfield at only start at Hawkesbury and goes up in weight. Looking elsewhere.
In the money last start running second at Wyong when resuming and gets the blinkers on for the first time. Jeff Penza and John O'Shea are a proven combination. Winning chance.
First start and ran in four trials. Watch early betting.
Never in the race at only start at Canterbury but drawn perfectly. Can surprise.
Finished fifth at only start at Goulburn and concern is the wide barrier. Prefer others.
Finished in the middle of the pack last start at Taree and gets the blinkers on for the first time. Has struggled in both runs so far this campaign. Not in this.
Yet to break out of maiden grade after 17 attempts and blinkers come off for the first time. Won't be far away in the run. Unlikely.

Microsoft's OneDrive app for Android received a bump to v5.4, which focuses on things related to photos. Users can expect a new Scan tool complete with basic editing tools and a faster way to scroll through their libraries, plus the ability to take photos directly within OneDrive and save them to the cloud.
It may seem far in the past now, but the craze surrounding Prisma was extraordinary. It became available on the Play Store to everyone in late July 2016, around a year and four months ago. Now the photo-editing app has reached 50 million installs on the Play Store, which is no small feat.
Oh Google! Oh Google! Oh Google! No sooner is the company putting to rest one social-slash-messaging app than it is working on three others in its wake. Today's newcomer is a photo sharing and editing app that Google confirmed to TechCrunch as "one of many [experiments] it's running."
According to TechCrunch, this new app would be like a mix of Path and Snapchat and Google Photos, leveraging Google's image recognition technology. It is less of a messaging app and more of a place where users create and join groups dedicated to photo sharing. Anyone could upload, edit, and tag the photos shared to a group, and Google would work its magic sauce behind the scenes to identify objects in photos, tag them, organize them, and make them easier to find in the future.
Prisma has been available on Android for exactly a month now, but the app's developers haven't wasted time trying to improve it in the meantime. Shortly after the app's release, an update added a much-needed Save button, but there was still one major inconvenience to using the app: the wait times and the overloaded servers.
Prisma doesn't work like all other photo editing apps. Its effects aren't just regular filters à la Instagram, but they're built on neural networks that try to understand the original image and apply changes in a way that works specifically with them. So far, when you wanted to try a filter in the app, you had to wait until your photo was uploaded to Prisma's servers, the algorithms were run there to get your edit, and then the resulting image downloaded back again to your device.
Aviary is one of the more popular photo editors on Android. In the past there were various effect packs available for purchase, but in the latest update Aviary has added a premium upgrade. It's a little strange, though. For $1.99 you get access to all the effects, filters, stickers, and so on, but only for 30 days.

I was hired by a client living in Glendale California to assist him in designing his backyard. He wanted to see what his new pool, spa and backyard would look like in 3D before embarking upon the project.
I added in a pool, spa, bbq island, quartzite decking, two fountains in the pool and a fire pit with seating area.
I like to design backyards with nature in mind unless the house and surroundings are ultra modern. In nature structures and steps are more gradual instead of hard edge modern. This is an example of a natural design rather than a modern design.
The 3D rendering helped the client visualize exactly what his yard will look like and now he is in the process of getting the permits pulled and his backyard built!
I stopped by the Walt Disney Concert Hall today to snap a few shots of this modern feat of architecture.
The Walt Disney Concert Hall is extremely captivating and somewhere I enjoy visiting a couple times a year.
The Walt Disney Concert Hall was designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry in 1991. Construction for the hall began in 1992 and was completed in 2003.
Construction of the hall cost $130 million, plus $110 million for the parking garage alone.
It is currently home for the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra and hosts and endless amount of performances.

Flexing one’s Muscles: The Yoga Day helped the people to flex their muscles and to gain fitness in their life.

Customer satisfaction data released by Transport for NSW last week reflects the persistent problem of overcrowding with lack of seat availability and personal space remaining the biggest problem for light rail users.
The light rail accommodated 9.4 million trips in the year to September 2018, up from 9.1 in the previous year and 3.9 in 2013/2014 – a 260% increase.
A petition supporting the purchase of new trams and laying an extra track at Dulwich Hill has gained over 500 signatures. See here.
“The light rail has been a major public transport success story with patronage surging 260% in the last five years.
“As more people use the light rail, the government’s own data is showing a noticeable downturn in customer experience.
“Glebe and Wentworth Park are already at crush capacity during the morning peak. Commuters are packed like sardines on peak hour services and residents in Glebe and Annandale often can’t even get on.
“The government has acknowledged that light rail services are over capacity but there are still only 12 trams on the line when there should be 16.
“Buying four more trams would allow the frequency of services to increase from eight to six minute intervals which is a good short-term fix.
“To meet long term demand the government has to lay an extra track near Dulwich Hill to speed up turnarounds and increase the frequency of tram services.
Latest Customer Satisfaction Index (May 2018) is available here.

I have been taking various brands, and Cordyceps Power CS-4 by Planetary Herbals is a new one for me. I haven't noticed any changes, which means it has meshed with the others in giving a boost to my health and more energy.
Cordyceps Power CS-4™ 800 mg 120 Tablets from Planetary Herbals may act as a tonic for vitality. Cordyceps is a fungus found in the mountainous regions of China and is available abundantly because it is also easy to grow in laboratories. Cordyceps sinensis is one of the most valued tonics in ancient Chinese herbalism. Ancient Chinese texts say that cordyceps were used for improving energy and increasing vitality.
The modern busy lifestyle demands high levels of energy and sometimes food alone may not be able to provide the required boost. The supplement from Planetary Herbals brings to you this potent formula that could help increase your energy and stamina to endure day-today activities.
It might be able to strengthen the immune system‚ improve athletic performance‚ support the effects of aging‚ and promote longevity.
The compound also contains other powerful ingredients like astragalus root and codonopsis root. Astragalus may help with common cold‚ upper respiratory infections‚ and high blood pressure. Codonopsis might help boost the immune system‚ relieve weakness‚ loss of appetite‚ and diarrhea.
Cordyceps Power CS-4™ 800 mg 120 Tablets from Planetary Herbals is combined with cordyceps mycelia‚ to provide you with a full range of benefits of the ingredients.
Cordyceps Mycelia CS-4 Standardized Extract (0.1% adenosine)‚ Astragalus Root‚ Codonopsis Root‚ Adenophora Root‚ Eucommia Bark‚ Eleuthero Root‚ Bai-Zhu Atractylodes Rhizome and Ginger Root.
Sorbitol‚ stearic acid‚ silica‚ modified cellulose gum‚ magnesium stearate.
Cordyceps good addition to my regimen!
It's cordyceps! I've had a lot of luck with this extract and believe this is "delivering" just as other forms have. Continuity from one brand to another is important, so I was happy to feel no changes in energy level. The price for the quantity is good.
It can't be helped that the tablets are rather large and can be difficult to swallow. Some might find them difficult to take, even if it's a good product otherwise.
Cordyceps Power Cs-4 800 mg is an excellent product from Planetary Herbals. I have been using it regularly for a couple of years and highly recommend it.
