Two prisoners of conscience and two other men have been released on bail in Dapaong, Northern Togo. Five other men who had been detained with them in relation to protests held in Mango in November 2015 and April 2016 remain at the Prison of Dapaong.
Prisoners of conscience Adamou Moussa and Zékeria Namoro, as well as two other men Issa Issaka and Baba Awali, were released on bail after more than five months in detention on 6 September.
Prisoners of conscience Adamou Moussa and Zékeria Namoro, as well as two other men Issa Issaka and Baba Awali, were released on bail after more than five months in detention on 6 September. The two prisoners of conscience should however have been released unconditionally with all charges against them dropped. Five other men who were detained together with them remain at the Prison of Dapaong. All nine were detained in relation to the protests that happened in November 2015 and April 2016. Security forces killed seven people and wounded at least 117 others during protests in Mango in November 2015. No one has been held accountable for the deaths.
Issa Issaka and Baba Awali were arrested on 1 April in relation to protests held concerning the arrest of Adamou Moussa and Zékeria Namoro. However, they claim not to have taken part in the demonstrations.
Adamou Moussa and Zékeria Namoro were arrested on 1 April after they questioned the commemoration of Togo’s Independence Day and called for justice for the people killed, ill-treated and arbitrarily detained following the November 2015 protests in Mango. They were charged with ‘incitement to commit a crime’.
"We express our deep gratitude to all people of goodwill who, from near or far, fought with us after our arrest on April 1 in Mango in Togo. We especially thank the members of Amnesty International who tirelessly defend justice in our country and around the world. You reached out to us during these difficult times as we were walking on the dangerous thorns of injustice. You were with us, supporting us morally, legally and wiping the tears our families".
Calling on the authorities to bring those suspected to be responsible for the killing of the seven demonstrators to justice.

More than a third of adults are lonely, with people in their forties suffering the highest levels, according to a study published in the latest Journal of Clinical Nursing. People with strong religious beliefs were less likely to be lonely and people who were unemployed reported higher levels of loneliness than people who were retired.
The study, by a team of UK and Australian researchers, showed that 35 per cent of the 1,289 people who took part in 30-minute telephone interviews in Central Queensland were lonely.

If you’re in Sri Lanka’s capital, Colombo, there’s only one place to start – Galle Face Green. The largest urban park in this jumbly city, it’s actually a cross between a park and a beach, the huge space also serving as an area for rallies, parties and, back in the old days, horse races. Nowadays it’s the go-to spot for sampling Sri Lanka’s tasty rainbow of street food, but back in 1859, its promenade was the brainchild of the British governor of what was then Ceylon, who thought delicate ladies needed somewhere to take the air and turned the previously fortified area into a green space.
While Galle Face Green makes a great starting point, Sri Lanka seems to run on its stomach and short eats are never more than a tummy rumble away. On-the-go snacks are part of the national diet and cheap enough that everyone can fill up – you’ll be parting with pennies rather than pounds. After conducting a thorough sampling, I’ve come up with a list of what not to miss.
Today the park is ringed with food vendor carts lit by small puddles of electric light, selling nuclear orange isso vadei – spicy lentil cakes that have prawns either mixed in or balanced on top. These after-work snacks lure Colombo’s residents down to the blustery seafront in all conditions. After trying a couple I’m not surprised, they’re strangely addictive things to pick at (if not so great to look at).
A sort of Sri Lankan bubble and squeak, kottu was first made from curry leftovers – yesterday’s roti, vegetables, spices and meat or fish all mixed and chopped together. Nowadays, kottu has outstripped curry as the dish of choice and chefs bang and chop the ingredients together as though they work in a Japanese teppanyaki bar.
Nana’s, an informal group of open-air restaurants around Galle Face Green, is where the locals head for. At any of the Nana’s, cuttlefish, chicken or mutton kottu is served up on a bright plastic plate. It’s a serious carb fest that almost demands a hangover to go with it. However, mine came with a bottle of EGB on the side instead. Elephant Ginger Beer is Sri Lanka’s soda weakness and the unmarked, recycled bottles come with a straw bobbing in the top as standard.
Sri Lankans love their hoppers – a pancake bowl served with either eggs in the morning or curries in the evening. Add your own sambols and chutneys and you’re away, having spent under 50 rupees (27p). The ratio of how crispy the pancake to how soft and gooey the filling is a debate as old as time – personally I’m all about the initial crunch and plenty of kick in the curry. Green Cabin is a traditional spot, Café on the Fifth a slicker, more modern addition.
Hardly a surprise but samosas are perhaps the most ubiquitous snack on the streets in Sri Lanka. The little savoury triangles tend to be veggie or beef and loaded with plenty of spices. They were always lurking on the edge of my vision – every street corner seems to dish up their deliciousness. I found the smaller they were the tastier, as the ratio of crunchy pastry to meat was just right. There will always be a debate about who serves up the best, but Bombay Sweet Mahal (195 Galle Road) has been busting them out for years.
Coconut is king in Colombo, from the bright-green balls fresh from the countryside piled up by the side of the road (all ready for me to slurp from), to saravita found on the promenade. Saravita is a sort of street dessert – luminous-coloured, shredded coconut wrapped up in a betel leaf like a child’s treat. I came across lots of saravita hawkers near Galle Face Green, with trays of the snack hanging from their necks like old-school sweet sellers in the cinema. And like all great childhood “delicacies”, I could almost taste the saccharin colours, even in the dark.

As of yesterday I have 60 days sober after a long road back from my 2 years of sobriety. Like a lot of alcoholics I was convinced I could moderate. That was a joke my enemy played on me. It took a year to get back to this point. I will say that I am using a medication that is helping emmensly. PLEASE no negative posts about this. I believe we should do whatever helps us get clean. I am using a program ( not AA ) for support and encouragement because a pill alone won't work. I feel so much healthier using a Fitbit I received for Christmas as my go to when lonely , bored, angry, sad etc.
Naltrexone is used for alcohol and opoid addiction with good results for nicotine. Also low doses are used for pain management.
@Ducktape from my research my understanding is that it blocks the serotonin and dopamine receptors so there is no pleasurable feelings when trying to bet high.
Congratulations on your 61 days! I was just talking to a friend who uses meds and she says it would be impossible without them. So, I agree each of us is different and if it takes prescribed meds to stay sober for today, then it is worth it. Twelve step programs like Celebrate Recovery have also proven invaluable for my walk with sobriety. Thank you for posting!

The film division of vidgame publisher Ubisoft has designs beyond the big screen. The motion picture unit of the Paris-based company announced plans Monday to launch an Ubisoft-focused theme park in Malaysia. The park is scheduled to open in 2020.
“Together we are creating a place where every guest is a player, every ride is a playground, every visit is a game,” said Jean de Rivières, senior vice president, Ubisoft Motion Pictures.
The announcement stopped short of specifically declaring which of the publisher’s many franchises would be incorporated into rides and shows. It’s not hard to imagine, though, that the park will incorporate the “Rabbids” IP, which is already a television show on Nickelodeon (and recently received a renewal order).
And 2016 will see the release of an “Assassin’s Creed” film starring Michael Fassbender. That franchise is Ubisoft’s most valuable, making a theme park experience likely as well.
The company plans to work with RSG, a Malaysian developer that specializes in theme parks. Among RSG’s current projects is MAPS – the Movie Animation Park Studios – a park that will incorporate attractions from DreamWorks, The Smurfs and other well known animated projects.
This isn’t Ubisoft’s first foray into the world of theme parks. Ubisoft Motion Pictures worked with France’s Futuroscope in 2014 to create a 3D dark ride based on the “Raving Rabbids: Travel in Time” game.
Ubisoft’s venture comes just four months after Nintendo announced a partnership with Universal Parks and Resorts, bringing the video game company’s collection of characters, including Mario, Donkey Kong and Zelda, to the popular resorts in the form of Nintendo-themed rides and character appearances.
Have you ever played one of Ubisoft’s games and thought, “This is fun and all, but I’d really like to experience it as a theme park ride”? Good news! That wish will soon become reality, now that Ubisoft’s announced plans for a next-generation theme park. Slated to open in 2020 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the park will be a 10,000-square-meter indoor complex featuring rides, shows and other attractions, all built around Ubisoft’s games and characters.
“Ubisoft’s intention for this park is to immerse people in reactive worlds where they can interact with each other and become the heroes of their own life-sized game,” says Jean de Rivières, senior vice president of Ubisoft Motion Pictures, which is leading the project. Having previously produced an award-winning Rabbids dark ride for the Futuroscope theme park in France, Ubisoft Motion Pictures is creating the new park together with Malaysian theme-park developer RSG. RSG will own and operate the park, while Ubisoft will maintain creative control over the attractions.
Few specifics have been revealed about upcoming attractions, but “Ubisoft will produce all digital media for the rides, and help design guests’ journey into the park to ensure the visitors’ experience is at its best,” says Rivières.
Will there be a "Leap of faith" attraction?
"Finally, an Asian setting! Oh, wait..."
Came here to post this but Loco was faster. It sounds so bizarre I had to check the article wasn't posted on April 1st.
Have you ever played one of Ubisoft's games and thought, "This is fun and all, but I'd really like to experience it as a theme park ride"?
Even Nintendo has never made a Mario Park and that's about the only gaming IP you can justify building a theme park around.
Gotta say this venture just smacks of corruption and scam as much of Ubisoft's recent productions does.
“Ubisoft’s intention for this park is to immerse people in reactive worlds where they can interact with each other and become the heroes of their own life-sized game,” says Jean de Rivières, senior vice president of Ubisoft Motion Pictures, which is leading the project.
There already exists such a game and its free and online all the time. Its called real-life. People go to theme parks because they have kids and want to relax and have fun, they don't go there to "become heroes of their own life-sized game".
“Ubisoft will produce all digital media for the rides, and help design guests’ journey into the park to ensure the visitors’ experience is at its best,” says Rivières.
Among meaningless marketing expospeak that is some kind of record.
Sorry, but I have never thought, "This is fun and all, but I'd really like to experience it as a theme park ride".
Lolol ubisoft really needs to make money, I wonder what happened for them t do this.... Or is it just greed?
Wow. That happened. I can't believe it.
How would it work? Would there be different "lands" like the Levant, Italy, Istanbul, North America, the Caribbean, Paris, and London?
Are they also not incorporating Prince of Persia into the park?
You must be this tall to kill people.
Keep your arms and legs inside the haystack at all times.
Also Ubisoft will hire actual prostitutes and mercenaries to serve as factions. To make it truly immersive.
I wonder if the attractions will be unfinished and full of malfunctions that will be later fixed with patches.
One ticket only gives you access to 80% of the park, for the remaining 20% you have to buy an extra dlc ticket, this can be avoid if you buy the season pass ticket in the first place.
You can avoid the waiting lines with micro-transactions.
Theme parks and attractions based on popular IPs is nothing new, this is certainly kinda funny but hardly anything never before seen, can't say I understand why some of you are acting like this is unheard of and another example of Ubisoft's extreme greed.
Well no other gaming company has done theme parks. Not even Nintendo. Its unheard of and it smacks of desperation.
Wow, I'm kinda curious and cautious at the same time.
In that case, I'm in! Even without the mercenaries.
Sounds like a high-risk low-reward kind of venture. Safer to license individual attractions in existing parks. If there was the whiff of money to be made, Disney would have created a PoP attraction years ago.
Disney doesn't own all the rights to PoP and they only ever did the movie which was not a huge success. That doesn't necessarily mean some other company (like Ubi itself) couldn't make money off the IP.
You have a couple of them in Japan, but even if it was something new, considering the popularity of videogames this days, someone, sooner or later, would do it.
The Leap of Faith will be bungee jumping from a church tower.
If it existed and was close enough... I'd go.... just to see if they had an animus that we used with VR.... I guess there are aspects from Ezio's games that could be used like a hookblade ride down a zipline... the parachute and I suppose leonardo's glider... but from Connor I can only think of the water ride when he chases the guy on the log down the river... anyone think of a possible moment that would make a park ride ?
Given how popular the AC courses at recent conventions have been, I can imagine where they're going with this.
The roller coaster will travel at just 5mph for a more 'cinematic experience'.
Or... or... There will be 500 locked chests throughout the park. With feathers on every rooftop! Additional collectibles will be available throughout the park in what they call 'shops'.
All staff will be Malaysian, but will speak with broad Cornish English accents.
Order your ticket now and receive a free floating tablet for your authentic modern day experience!
Occasionally your ride will be stopped in the middle while a park employer talks to you on the intercom about how 9/11 was an inside job. You will then be forced to exit the ride for 5 minutes and wander aimlessly outside for a bit before coming back in and resuming the ride.

Anyone here know which dealership in Toronto carries Nissan Ester Oil (and how much)?
Also how much for the nissan oil filter and oil bolt crusher/gasket/washer?
Might have to check Infinite dealership about the Ester Oil.
Asked around, the dealership does have the Esther Oil and price at $15 + tax per litre/quart.
I don't live in Canada, but I just got my oil changed today on my 370z. The dealership charged me $69.99 for the Nissan Ester Oil here in San Antonio, Texas. After the oil change the service rep came by to let me know that the car requires Nissan Ester Oil and this is all they will use for my 370z. I already knew this was the suggested oil to use, but it’s nice to know the dealership is looking after my car the way they should.
This is the same price I pay for my Trail Blazer SS which gets Mobil One Synthetic, not too bad. I heard some people saying the Nissan Ester Oil change can cost almost $100.00!

Welcome to SolarSPELL’s ASU Summer Internship Cohort!
SolarSPELL is delighted to introduce ten new interns for the summer! ASU students in this internship cohort are from a variety of academic backgrounds, including Journalism, Innovation in Society, Computer Science, Physics, Political Science, Transborder Studies, Material Science and Engineering, and Software Engineering. We are thrilled to see what comes from this group of such diverse backgrounds and knowledge!
Each member will be working on various projects throughout the next 8 weeks. The main focuses for the summer involve curating content for the Puerto Rico and Tonto Creek Camp library versions, programming software, web design, user interface and experience, social media and marketing, and participating in the implementation process for the first Arizona SolarSPELL location at Tonto Creek Camp.
In addition to learning about the history and purpose of SolarSPELL from Dr. Hosman, the simplicity and sustainability of the hardware and software from Bruce, and about content curation for open access educational resources from ASU librarians Lisa and Dan, the new members took part in a team building activity focused on finding solutions to challenges. In this activity, each individual identified and wrote down a challenge, before coming up with the first two possible solutions and placing those ideas on sticky notes attached to the poster. Leaving their poster with the challenge in place, the team rotated to each other’s posters, offering their own suggestions to each challenge. Following this initial round of solutions, participants were asked to think of someone whom they admire the thinking or thought process of, and to go around once again offering suggestions as if they were that person. This method of thinking with a new frame of reference seemed to evoke entirely new ideas that may not have come up before!
Outside of the scheduled activities, the cohort bonded after hearing the effects of Hurricane Maria, from the Puerto Rico team, and how the team could see Puerto Rico benefitting from SolarSPELL’s resources. This conversation really put things into perspective for their fellow team members, giving them a more personalized purpose behind the objectives they plan to accomplish over the summer.
Thank you to everyone who participated or contributed to this training workshop! We are excited to have such a diverse team and to see the impact they will make. Stay tuned for what’s to come!

The remote, fog-shrouded community of Port Protection is tucked into the northwest corner of Prince of Wales Island, Alaska, and surrounded by the freezing waters of the North Pacific. A small band of extraordinary people push the limits of survival, living an isolated and risky life of self-reliance with no roads, no government and no cops. Facing rugged and unforgiving land and cold and stormy seas, the tight-knit community of less than 100 people must hunt, fish, trap, grow their own food and build their own shelter. But for this tiny village, the risk is worth the reward: a world with the security of community without the constraints of bureaucracy.

They are found in just about every corner of the world; this and many other facts about deer can be interesting and educational to any person who admires this beautiful animal.
Deer are mammals, and belong to a family of animals called Cervidae. This family includes such animals as the moose, elk and reindeer among others. This diverse group of animals inhabits equally diverse biomes, with habitats ranging from rainforests to tundras. It is estimated that deer entered earth’s history around 35 million years ago, based on evidence found of a prehistoric deer called Megoloceros. Deer also greatly vary in size; the Pudu is the smallest variety at around 30 inches in length, while the moose looms large at between 6 and 10 feet tall.
An herbivorous animal, all species of deer eat a variety of plants including tender tree leaves, plant shoots and even twigs from trees. There are certain varieties of deer that get their nutrition solely from grazing the grasses of their environment. Like cows, deer are cud chewing animals. This means that when they take in food, it is partially chewed and then stored in the first of four chambers of the stomach in the deer’s body. Due to the fibrous nature of the ingested food, acids contained in the first stomach are necessary to break the plant matter into more digestible particles. It is regurgitated then chewed again before it is swallowed and passed into the second chamber of the stomach. It continues to the third and fourth chambers, breaking down into smaller and smaller pieces before going on to the intestines.
Deer have long been considered a source of food by humans and other animals alike. Early Native Americans used the animal for food as well as for other uses; the hides provided clothing and material for their teepees, and the sinews were used for bow strings and medical purposes. While venison, or deer meat, is no longer a necessary menu item in the American diet, many people still enjoy the flavor that it provides. Hunting continues to be a popular sport, as deer are hunted for meat as well as for trophies. The hunting may seem cruel and needless to some animal activists, however, the facts about deer hunting are that it is necessary to control the population of the animal. Since two mated deer can easily increase their herd size to 35 in just 7 short years, it can easily be seen how rapidly the population can grow when considering there are fewer natural predators. Animals that normally prey upon deer are grizzly bears, mountain lions and coyotes. With an expanding human population that occupies the territories of these animals, however, these natural predators of deer have decreased; causing an increase in the number of deer.
Other interesting facts about deer involve their antlers. All but one species of male deer grow antlers; the Chinese water deer is the one exception. Defined as growths of dead bone, antlers begin to emerge on the young buck that is around 10 months old. Antlers grow rapidly, around ½ inch per day, and then fall off each year; regenerating the following season. Their purpose is for self-defense when battling other males for dominance. Females typically do not grow antlers; however, a hormone imbalance has been the cause for one in several thousand does to develop them. A little known fact is that antlers are not horns.
Deer are fascinating and beautiful creatures that have proven to be invaluable in American history. Hunters thrill in the challenge of the sport as well as the enjoyment of the food that they provide. Many others around the world simply admire the gentle beauty of this creature.

Meditations and Prayers Relating to the Law of God.
# This long Psalm (176 verses) consists of separate units, each of which has its first word beginning with a consecutive letter of the Hebrew alphabet as a memory aid. The first verse begins with the first letter of the alphabet, aleph (first letter of the word blessed), and the last unit of the Psalm (vv 169-176) begins with tav, the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Aleph.

And let Your ordinances help me.
Seek Your servant, for I do not forget Your commandments.

All forms of human endeavor involve finance to some degree. Within our economic system, finance is concerned with capital, which is money or property owned or used in business. Finance majors study both the sources and the uses of capital. The finance curriculum revolves around the valuation process in a free market system. Once an individual or company can value various alternatives, the allocation of resources and the decision process in business becomes much simpler.
Students who are interested in business should have a thorough understanding of the financial process. Upon graduation, students accept a wide variety of positions with business in general. The curriculum of the finance major is designed to give the student breadth in a variety of fields in addition to finance and business. The diversity of entry level positions obtained by finance majors makes it difficult to describe a typical position. A major in finance does not limit career potential to banking or to any single area of business. A large number of individuals go to work for industrial companies in a variety of entry level positions that allow them to develop into top decision-making positions with those companies. A significant number of chief executive officers and other top officers of corporations have followed the "finance path" to the top.
Although the financial services major is based on many of the same analytical skills and theoretical foundations as the finance major, it is designed specifically to prepare students for careers in one of the segments of the financial services industry: securities, banking, insurance, real estate finance, and personal financial planning. It is very common for single firms to own subsidiaries in each of these areas, so it is important for graduates entering these fields to be familiar with all aspects of these important financial sectors. Graduates can look forward to analytical, managerial, or sales careers in the financial services industry. Sales careers include insurance and securities sales. Analytical careers include loan and security analysis and personal financial planning. Managerial careers include management in each of the component industries.
The major objective of the real estate program at SDSU is to prepare its graduates as well-rounded professionals with a specialty in the multifaceted field of real estate and land market analysis. The changing nature of today's real estate market requires that graduates from university real estate programs receive a complete and broad approach to this field.
Graduates with a major in real estate should be capable of making a wide variety of management decisions concerning real estate and related land resources. This includes the ability to utilize new economic concepts, understand changing social concerns, and apply up-to-date analytical tools such as computers to the process of real estate decision making. SDSU's program in real estate provides students with analytical skills, technical competence to perform market analyses, and a better understanding of the tools necessary to perform in today's complex real estate and land markets.

"We were captivated throughout this unusual journey of self-discovery of a very inactive antihero. The camera work perfectly captures the main character’s journey, often static, occasionally distant. Set in the vacuum of a remote holiday resort, the vastness of space throughout its design gives us an impression of what the character must be feeling. All supported by a subtle yet effective use of comedy in the screenplay. Skillful in all segments, this collective achievement led by a talented director deserves all praise."
"We have seen many films. Many. And we have seen many, many films of outstanding quality. We were happy with this, and we were unhappy with it. Why unhappy? Because we had far fewer awards than outstanding films. We were cornered by good films, one could say. I therefore decided to give an additional award which again cannot go to all the outstanding works we saw, but please take it as a symbol of the level of the competition. This award, the jury president’s special mention, goes to a film of great depth, complexity and tenderness. A daring mixture of inner visions and precise outside-world observation, a film loving a main character who is shunned and despised. A character floating through life and space while adding yet another level of overweight to her body. In this film, fat is a spacesuit, a deeply needed layer of protection against an outside world that seems more hostile than outer space to the character caught in denial. Relevant, concise, deeply human, aesthetically fully achieved. I am honored to give the jury president’s special mention to LANDING."
"In only 20 minutes, the writers manage to create fully rounded characters who subtly tell us about the fragility of their family life. It is obvious to the jury that the collective who worked on this screenplay understand and empathize with their characters. Together this family of four forms its own unique and seemingly dysfunctional universe. We learn that through their own quirks and faults, they are each other’s healing factors in their search for happiness. The truth and creativity put into this screenplay are commendable, and the love that seeps through the story is nearly tangible, which cannot give us anything but hope."
"Documentary filmmaking is a mysterious process. What does it require? Delicacy. Patience. Humility. Love. Awareness. Attention to the slightest ripples passing over water or through the soul. What is the goal, then? Fragility is at the center of it. Creating the most fragile, floating images and memories in the viewer. Permitting the viewer to open up to his or her most delicate perception and to cherish this capacity of seeing things anew. In this film the camera follows the routine of life with such utmost delicacy, with a tenderness so great, that even the loneliness of the main character transforms into a deep sense of security. Hardly anything happens. A pebble is thrown through a tube. A plant is seen breaking through the ground. Images of deeply feeling at home. A boy. A grandfather. Changing light and a father’s homecoming being canceled. That is all. And it made us all in the jury deeply happy! And making an audience happy with nothing, with fleeting hints and moments of sheer perception is what a good documentary is all about. This film did it. The jury is therefore honored to give the best documentary award to SON OF WIND. "
"The jury was convinced of the ability of the cinematographer to convey in an admirable way in color, shades and camera movement, the sorrow of the autumn season and the twilight of the main character’s life. Congratulations from the jury to Cem Demirer for END OF SEASON! "
"The award for best animation goes to a film that brings us a well-nuanced story about a man’s reminiscence and his relationships with others. The director has created a specific inner world of the character and brought it to life with skillful animation and imaginative visual choices. Through a mix of stop-motion animation and live action, clay becomes the material that is permanently transforming, never managing to take on its original form, just as the main character is constantly being transformed by the influences of others. Congratulations to Sam Gainsborough for FACING IT."
"A deeply moving story about two brothers in which the older brother prepares the younger for his time at school and for life itself. Taking up the current subject of violence among adolescents, the two excellent young leading actors perform their way into viewers’ hearts. This short bit of cinema could readily be turned into a long feature film. We congratulate filmmaker Maria Eriksson Hecht on receiving the 2018 ARTE Short Film Award."
"This dark comedy about a colorful alliance of three friends against the bleak backdrop of a nursing home has captivated our hearts. The underlying message expressed in the dreams of our heroic group transcends a stark characterization of the elderly and offers sharp criticism of a world in which criminals receive better treatment than the elderly. Much praise for the excellent camera work, which makes this sterile space exciting to watch for the entire film, and the exceptional timing in the choreography of the ensemble, which results in well- deserved laugh-out-loud moments in the cinema."
"SIREN subtly portrays a young person’s search for identity while giving its characters plenty of space. The film captivates us with its intense atmosphere and layered characters who are portrayed by emotionally engaging actors and actresses. The director covers a subject important to society, siding with those in search of their gender and delivering a message about accepting oneself and others."
"SIMON CRIES is a courageous film. This highly original short surprises viewers with a cascade of outstanding visuals, which in their poetic lightness and photographic brilliance are immediately reminiscent of the surreal cinema of Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Wes Anderson. Yet the director and his team untether themselves from their sources of inspiration by finding their own cinematic language, to which they remain true in impressive stylistic awareness — from the funny and original beginning in a train compartment that represents a relationship to the romantic but not at all cheesy ending in a swimming pool. And when the underwater camera is upside down and two divers start to fly through a sea of tears, what you’re seeing isn’t a random idea by a director; rather, it’s but one of the many beautiful and precise visual metaphors you are enjoying because you are watching SIMON PLEURE! "
"“There won’t be any problems with the air-conditioning this time.” With these words, a team leader (Jake) starts a pre-production brainstorming session for a commercial to fight global warming. After the “cut”, he ends the meeting by telling an employee who’s generating electricity, “You can stop cycling now.” Endangered species (pandas) in China and melting ice in the Arctic (polar bears) are to be the focus of the commercial. Everyone agrees to fly a photographer (Rodrigo) from Buenos Aires to Chengdong and to send a second unit to the Arctic with a stopover in a national park. Subtle humor is used to record a scenario that pokes fun at buzzwords used in public discourse about the climate (saving energy, preserving the environment) and that meticulously documents its own consumption (“12 people cycling for 11 hours to generate the electricity needed,” “208 kg of equipment transported via bike rickshaw,” “two trees planted”) in order to conclude: “You have just seen the first carbon-neutral climate clip ever made.” We judges were delighted by the staging, humor and self-mockery. We would like to congratulate the first-prize recipients of the Climate Clips Award. "
"A young woman in a bikini wades into the glittering, crystal-clear water of a picturesque lake. She finishes drinking from a plastic bottle and throws it into the water. Instead of sinking, it rises up to become part of a gigantic cloud of plastic garbage in the sky. The cost of a common act of carelessness defies gravity and the laws of physics to cover the sky. This is a metaphorical warning that the plastic garbage accumulating in rivers, lakes, and oceans is a growing threat to the environment and to all life: “The time to act is now.” This threat, like climate change, is man-made: “Just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean it’s not there.” With this scenic footage of nature apparently in balance, this clip attempts to imagine the threat lurking within this idyllic location. The jury offers its congratulations to the recipients of the second prize for this thought-provoking look at a common practice with global consequences. "
"Tempted by an ice-cream stand at a summer fair, a little girl walks up and demands an ice-cream cone, which she receives with a smile: “Here you go.” The camera shows her face in an extreme close-up that reflects her bitter disappointment: the ice cream, which was solid a moment ago, is melting, running down the cone and across her hands. She can’t believe it! In 23 seconds, this clip manages to metaphorically reduce the topic of climate change to one of its vital and most blatant symptoms: “The ice is melting.” Short and sweet! Countless photos from news reports about the Arctic flash by. The jury congratulates the recipient of our third prize on his successful attempt to give the youngest viewers a symbolic visualization of what is happening."

Business Korea reported that the Financial Services Commission of Korea issued a directive banning securities firms from taking part in bitcoin futures transactions, citing sources.
South Korea has taken a tough stance on digital currencies, banning initial coin offerings (ICOs) earlier this year. ICOs involve startups issuing their own digital currencies to raise funds.
Bitcoin was originally created as an anti-establishment currency meant to be above the control of governments.
The ban on bitcoin futures was made ahead of the launch of the new products on Sunday evening. Chicago-based exchange operator Cboe began offering bitcoin future contracts on Sunday and was met with huge demand. Cboe’s website briefly crashed and the price of both bitcoin and futures contracts leapt higher.
Hussein Sayed, chief market strategist at FXTM, said in an email: “The initial reaction was beyond expectations with the futures contract climbing more than 20% and triggering two trading halts. CBOE’s website experienced unprecedented traffic which may well have sent a new benchmark; the frenetic activity led to delays and outages.
Cboe’s product is the first that gives institutional investors such as hedge funds and asset managers exposure to bitcoin. The market allows them to speculate on the future price of bitcoin without having to directly buy and hold the digital currency. This skirts any regulatory and custodian issues that might be presented by bitcoin.
Institutional investors have grown increasingly interested in bitcoin as the cryptocurrency’s price has continued to rise. Bitcoin is up over 1,000% against the dollar so far this year and rose as much as 40% in the last week alone.
South Korea’s regulators aren’t the only people worried about bitcoin futures. The digital currency is subject to huge amounts of volatility – swings of 20% on the day are not unusual – and some market participants fear futures contracts could add a large degree of unquantified risk to the financial system.
The Futures Industry Association wrote to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) last week to complain that there had not been “proper public transparency and input” from industry over the products. Banks such as JPMorgan and Citi are also reportedly not clearing bitcoin futures for clients, at least for now.

RML’s Yvan Muller dominated qualifying for the World Touring Car Championship in Argentina, beating team-mate Tom Chilton to pole position by more than half a second at the Autódromo Termas de Río Hondo.
Championship leader Muller was never headed throughout the qualifying session, immediately posting the fastest lap in Q1 before retiring to the pits to wait for Q2.
Such was the Frenchman’s control of the session that, when required in Q2, he was able to produce a lap 1.2 seconds faster than in the preceding qualifying segment, being forced to complete a second qualifying run as the other drivers sought the benefits of mass slipstreaming.
Chilton once again finished the session in second, 0.503 seconds off Muller despite posting the fastest first sector of all on his final flying lap. Zengő Motorsport’s Norbert Michelisz finished the session third fastest and as the top Honda driver.
Gabriele Tarquini in the works Honda was fourth fastest, despite having issues during Q1 which meant that he had to leave it until the very end of the 20 minute session to post a time.
Pepe Oriola was fifth fastest on his second weekend in the Tuenti Racing Chevrolet, ahead of the bamboo-engineering Chevrolet of Alex MacDowall. The Brit had originally been fourth fastest after the first round of flying laps but lost out to Chilton and Tarquini at the end of the session.
The second works’ Honda of Tiago Monteiro was seventh, although will be forced to start race one from the back of the grid due to an engine change on his Honda Civic. Eighth and ninth were the bamboo-engineering and Nika Racing Chevrolet’s of James Nash and Michel Nykjær respectively.
Local driver José María López qualified his Wiechers-Sport BMW in tenth, meaning that the Argentinian will start race two from pole position – the first for a South American in the series since Augusto Farfus in Germany in 2010.
Campos Racing’s Hugo Valente and LADA’s James Thompson just missed out on pole for race two, qualifying in 11th and 12th respectively.
Notable names to fail to make the Q2 cut included Rob Huff, who was 14th, and Tom Coronel, who was 16th. Huff, who had further issues at the start of qualifying, has been forced to have a change of engine on his Münnich Motorsport SEAT and will start race one from last. Coronel, in 16th, was the second-best BMW driver, further highlighting López’s strong performance in an unfamiliar car.
Round 15 takes place at 18:20 BST on Sunday 4th August (19:20 CEST; 14:20 ART).

A fishing vest is a sleeveless garment with mazes of pockets and pouches in which fly fisherman can hopelessly misplace the multitudes of items they do not need anyway. It was one of the early inventions of the young Lee Wulff, who died in 1991. Several years before he died I had the opportunity to thank the great one himself, not only because of the way the vest permits the fly fisherman to keep both hands free, but because we sociologists of angling can tell more than we really need to know about a person from the kind of vest he has, its condition, and what he loses in those pockets.
It is an industry secret that all fishing vests are made by a single anti-fishing misanthrope in Hong Kong. The vests are then shipped to the u.s.a., where the label is put on and the price tripled before they are shipped hither and yon, even to Japan. It is only a matter of time until the label inside the collar will be replaced by the big manufacturer’s logo on the back of every vest. Yuppie perfection will be attained when every wearer is obliged to advertise precisely who it is imported this ridiculous garment.
Just for starters, almost every fishing vest you see is made of such shiny, almost white cloth, that it is one of the better fish repellents, ranking with those clunking stream cleats and the white, “Tilley” hat. Should you accidentally stumble upon a human wearing a camouflage vest and hat, blended into the underbrush and impersonating an old stump, beware! Check your location! You have either bumped into the late Charlie Brooks, West Yellowstone angling author of consummate skill and cunning, or you have stumbled upon the rare, canny old veteran still among us here on terra firma who has the money to get his vests custom made, or the time to get them artfully aged, faded and soiled in camouflage like patches.
All fishing vests that have been worn even once will be heavily soiled in the vicinity of one particular pocket: the one used to store the fly dope (not the insect repellent) the dry fly floatant. Fly floatant illustrates the prime principle of marketing to fly fisherman: take a common substance the world produces in abundance, divide it up into minuscule quantities, give it a dumb name (“fink” for example” multiply its price a thousand fold and sell it like hot ... no ... like dope to addicts. Better yet, sell it in a container cunningly designed to leak under all conditions and positions and you will sell even more of it. All of the technology of the industry is now concentrated on the tendency of some floatants to solidify below 95 degrees F. If they could make it remain liquid and leaking day and night, profits would double or triple.
Should you encounter a stream any human wearing a fishing vest without the filthy stain on that one pocket, he is either a land surveyor, a timber cruiser or the only non purist in the world who does not either fish only the dry fly, or claim to. In this latter case, the whole vest may be full of fly sinkant, another dumb name, noxious substance, (“Dunk” or “Dink”) divided, subdivided, priced multiplied, etc. as with floatant, but for some reason the manufacturers have not yet perfected a container that will faithfully and reliably leak sinkant.
Small quantities of substances more expensive per ounce even than single malt whiskey, both to make floating flies sink and sinking flies float will be lost somewhere in virtually every vest worn by any fisherman. But that fact in no way exhausts the propensity of fly fishermen to guzzle snake oil. A caution: to blame the manufacturers and dealers would be as unjust as to blame the snake for the product rendered from its mortal remains. Caveat emptor! of yourself! Exhibit “A”, somewhere, in a growing number of fishing vests, will be a tiny container of a new wonder substance to take the shine off a new leader and, also, to make floating flies sink. Its dumb name? “Mud.” Something found in natural abundance and free along every trout stream I have ever frequented anywhere in the world. My case against the dope trade to fly dopes and other substance abusers not only rests, it is prostrate.
The sociologist neither experienced with anglers nor, God forbid, one himself, could be forgiven for expecting that somewhere in any fly fisherman’s vest there will be two flies: one floating fly so the owner can buy sinkant, yea, even Mud, and one sinking fly so the owner can properly develop the stain on that one pocket of the vest, the badge of the Fink addict. You can rest assured that any native fly fisher will have two flies. There will be one on the leader, as local wisdom insists that the best lure for Rocky Mountain Whitefish is a wet fly “sweetened” by a maggot. There will be a second fly somewhere in that vest, tackle box or creel in case the first is lost. If the second is lost? No problem, the nearest Bait and Jig Boutique is only $5 worth or gas away and they sell Japanese wet flies for 29 cents. But if what we have is a real, unsweetened fly fisherman, there will be hundreds, thousands, maybe even millions of flies in boxes and bottles everywhere in that vest.
All those flies are tickets to gamble against the “theory of selectivity,” invented by outdoors writers, a game with more combinations and permutations than Lotto 6/49. These writers credit the trout with the palate of a professional wine taster, the eyesight of a bonefish guide and the intelligence of an Einstein. For a long while I believed that the writers produced this tripe because the quarry would not be worthy of the fishing, or the writing about it, if not imbued with super-human qualities. But gradually, as I get to know more and more angling writers, I have come, sadly, to suspect the theory of selectivity may have something to do with the simple fact that so many of them are also in the business of peddling fly dope and flies, or, worse, books on aquatic entomology.
In my “slush” pile, I have a superb article called “The Petit Jury,” in which I argue that a “jury” or only six fly patterns will cover any angler for better than 90 percent. of all the conditions he will encounter on any water in North America. Proudly, I once told a writer, tackle dealer friend about this article. When he recovered consciousness, he excused himself to make a few phone calls. This article, somehow, has never been published, but has earned me in “kill fees” ten times what it would bring if ever printed, even in one of the “big three” of the hook and bullet press. The article is like a banking card: any time I’m broke, I stick it in the slot, sometimes to a publisher who has already paid me “kill fees” for it. No matter, back it comes with a kill fee. I wonder who my writer, dealer friend had to phone so badly that he had to do it even after being so suddenly sick like that? My final word on the millions of flies in the vest of a real fly fisherman is this: fly fishing itself is founded on the capacity for self delusion of a beautiful, wild creature with a brain the size of a pea; the fly fishing “industry” is based likewise on the similar capacity of the beautiful dopes addicted to fly fishing.
The vest of any real fly fisherman will likely contain more glassine envelopes than a dope-peddler’s stash, but these will contain leaders; there will also be dozens of tiny spools of material to construct sill more leaders. Leaders and their design are subjects fraught with more depressing formulae and schools of thought than nuclear physics. There is the very rare school that believes most trout just do not care, that therefore the best squeeze through the eye of the hook. But there is a warning : if you spot a person astream who appears to be pulling cobwebs from the sky, rolling them up and measuring thin air with a $600 micrometer, and muttering darkly in mathematics, take my advice and leave. This person is of the psychopathic school of leader design, which believes if it is strong enough to hold any fish, then it is too thick to fool him in the first place. These maniacs strive always for the longest, strongest, thinnest leader, and are revolted by the very feel of trout in the hand; thus, they never have use for net or creel as they specialize in the thirty foot release.
There will probably be no room in that vest to lose anything else, after dope, leaders, tippets and flies are stowed. Researchers will then have to study what is hung on the vest and about the person of the subject. If there is a thermometer prominently displayed, for example, what you have is a person who does not even know the best time to go fishing is when the boss or Herself says he can go. Most people who own water thermometers either do not know how to use them, or cannot remember the best temperature ranges for the various species of trout. You should always let your fly, leader and line trail downstream as you knell for the minute or so necessary to get a reading. If you get a fish on that dragging fly, it is definitely the right time to go fishing. If you do not get a thermometer fish, you can carry on fishing against all odds, or you can use your thermometer to see if it is time to drink the beer yet.
There may be a set of forceps clipped onto some protuberance of the vest. This device is an ambiguous sign. It can mean that the wearer fully intends to release the fish should he ever manage to catch one. On the other hand, he could be a lost urologist, and you should back up against the nearest cliff and clap your hands over your privates. If the forceps are distinguished by that dull sheen, that patina of heavy use, it means only that this is one of those boneheads who habitually fishes in the company of his bird dog and that bonehead is back in the bush looking for yet another porcupine to eat, so his master can ply those forceps once again: pulling quills.
Other ambiguous signs are the presence or absence of nets and creels, both of which have become controversial since catch and release became politically correct. Clearly, the old fashioned wicker creel is passé, the only purpose of such an antique being as obvious as that of the crematoria at Dachau. Some people can get away with a small canvas creel. If challenged, the owner will swear he only uses it to carry out the litter abandoned by other anglers. Even much beloved Charlie Brooks was held in suspicion in some quarters because he favoured a huge canvas water bag with the top cut off and a shoulder strap added. One day I went on a safari with Charlie to the third Barn Hole on the Madison and recalled, after I regained consciousness, that he could transport and cool en route in the desert no less than a flat “24” of what it was he carried in that creel. Dimly I recall Charlie saying: “If you can carry them out empty, you can carry them in full.” But then, Charlie never could be serious about equipment, or a cliché.
Nets are optional. Strangely, the most crazed fish releasers who completely reject creels find nets acceptable, especially if they are very tiny, hand sculpted and cost more than a Van Gogh original. If the reason given for wearing one of these things is that it makes it easier to release fish, you know you are talking to a very modern fly fisherman. Those cheap aluminum nets hung from a rubber cord around the neck are out, for a very practical reason: if you look closely at habitual users, they will have no front teeth, the result of having turned around to see where the net was tangled in the bush just as it wasn’t anymore. That, and not to release fish, is the reason such persons now carry the lethal thing stuffed down the waders.
Actually, while in England for the World Fly Fishing Championship, I learned to favour those marvelous Norwegian folding nets that the British have to conjure like a silk hanky from the sleeve of their tweed jackets, because the Brits do not favour fishing vests at all. With the extension handle of these folders, they can net any fish out there at the farthest end of their cast that is even thinking about taking their fly.
Certainly you will hear no British angler going on about the use of these nets in releasing fish, a practice they regarded as bad form and even a tad vulgar, like breaking wind anywhere, let alone in your own waders, which is why the Brits don’t wear them much, either. But then you do not need to judge British anglers by what they wear or use, they all have to be upper class, or at least stinking rich to be fishing in the first place.

White Dot, Cascades Link, Spellman, and Pumpelly Trails.
Monadnock was on our to-do list for months; everyone but us had apparently ascended this peak; it's the second or third most climbed mountain on the planet. However, Mount Monadnock is as far from the Whites as you can get without leaving the Granite State, and I hate the idea of having to drive more than an hour to get to a trailhead. Nevertheless, the girls and I boarded Max (no dogs are allowed on this mountain), climbed in the car, and drove toward Jaffrey, NH.
We decided to ascend via Spellman Trail, which is described as the most difficult and steepest way up the mountain; the girls and I always prefer a nice scramble to a walk-up.
...then we took Cascade Link, which crossed this mossy stream.
We soon arrived at Spellman Trail.
Before we knew it, we were finished with Spellman Trail, above treeline (on Pumpelly), and heading toward the summit.
The weather was perfect -- sunny and dry, with just enough of a breeze to keep the forehead cool. We hung about for a while and enjoyed our surroundings before descending White Dot.
White Dot Trail was ledgy and lovely.
...before returning to the parking area.
Our next book presentation/signing is this Saturday, July 28 at the Littleton Public Library in Littleton, NH. Hope to see you there!
Last Saturday, our family participated in Seek the Peak. Number 44 on our Thursday Things list is now complete, since Alex and Sage (well, mostly Alex) hiked in costume. Our trip report can be found here.
Last Saturday, my family participated in Mt. Washington Observatory's annual fundraising hike, Seek the Peak. Many thanks to all who supported us! The total amount raised by all Seek the Peak 2012 hikers was over $251,000!!
Months ago, the girls decided they were going to do this hike in costume. Alex therefore dressed as a girl pirate and Sage dressed as a boy pirate. Sage's costume originally included a mustache and a different bandanna, but the mustache irritated her skin and the bandanna wouldn't stay on. She gave up trying to fix everything early in the hike and decided to go as a boy-pirate-who-recently-shaved-and-lost-his-headgear. That worked for us; we continued onward.
We began our hike at 6am. Chris, a hiker friend, had agreed to give Hugh a ride down from the summit. The girls and I planned to hike down and meet Hugh at Seek the Peak's after-party around 4pm. This meant we couldn't dally on the way up, since I wasn't sure how long it would take for the girls and I to get down.
Here we are, at the start of the hike. This, by the way, marked Hugh's first attempt to hike to the summit of Washington since his accident in 1982.
We reached the intersection with Lion Head Trail about an hour after leaving Pinkham Notch.
A bold chipmunk begged for handouts while we ate a quick snack.
The girls mugged for the camera before we tackled the steeps.
Ledges and rock scrambles -- good stuff! This is the kind of terrain we love. Thumbs up for Lion Head Trail.
...and the rock formation known as Lion Head.
Alex, Hugh, and Sage with the tip of Huntington Ravine's headwall in the background.
Sage, Hugh, and Alex on the summit of Mt. Washington. This was the first time Hugh had hiked from the valley to the summit.
View from the deck of the Observatory, looking toward Ball Crag and the northern Presidentials.
The Observatory allowed folks in for a tour -- this only happens during Seek the Peak. We went inside and the best thing of the entire day happened. A man -- I won't identify him by name since I haven't asked his permission -- came up to Hugh and said, "Welcome back." This man was in a position of authority at the time of Hugh's accident in 1982. His smile was genuine and his expression was warm.
I could say more about Hugh's accident...but I won't. I've been asked many times to put my opinion and my perspective in writing, but, honestly, that's not my place. I did not know Hugh in 1982. Alex and Sage had nothing to do with what happened. That part of Hugh's life belongs to Hugh, and to the climbers that knew him then and who continue to know him now. Therefore, out of respect for him and the entire situation, I will never publicly comment on Hugh's accident beyond what's written in Up.
Time was marching on...the girls and I began to worry that we wouldn't make it down the mountain in time for the party. Luckily for us, Kevin, a hiker friend, volunteered to help us out. Hugh would ride down with Chris, and the girls and I would ride down with Kevin and his wife, Judy. Chris' car was at the summit and Kevin's was a mile or so down the mountain. The girls and I left Hugh with Chris and hiked down Nelson Crag Trail with Kevin and his wife, Judy, until we reached the parking area near the old cow pasture.
We made it down in plenty of time for the after-party -- thank you, Chris, Kevin, Judy, and Emma!
The girls and I will definitely do Seek the Peak again next year (maybe Hugh will too). Good cause, good hiking, good food, good times.

Maybe Open With "I Have a Hawk"
I think I’ve discussed this before, but every single time I go to Home Depot, I feel like I’m Frodo, wandering lost in a forest, and I have absolutely no idea which department to go to, what questions to ask, or like, even the vicinity of the topic I should be on.
For instance, I need to fix something that’s broken, but I don’t know what the broken part is called, so I take a picture and go to Home Depot. I then proceed to show the picture of the broken thing to every person in every department, until one by one, departments are eliminated, and I end up in the right place. In that way, I guess Home Depot is a metaphor for life.
Anyhow, the other day I was once again wandering in Home Depot, looking for a person to give me some guidance, and I happened upon this woman who worked there. She was totally nice and actually did NOT give me the requisite amount of Home Depot grief (maybe this was because they actually didn’t HAVE the totally specific product that I needed), but was also very nice and chatted with me about various topics, including weather on the east coast and how to clean a wood stove. About ten minutes into this conversation, she casually mentioned that she was going to send her TRAINED HAWK out on a mission to a place we had discussed.
-- Where does one ACQUIRE a hawk, exactly?
-- How does that hawk know to come back?
-- At some point, doesn't the hawk notice that he's like, free to fly away and catch mice wherever, and just...go? I wonder what the attrition rate is for trained hawks.
--Speaking of training, where does one BECOME a falconer? Is there some kind of correspondence course for this?
I feel like people should lead with the thing that’s most interesting about them. I tell authors this so much, it drives me a little crazy. Everything has something unusual about them. I would like very much to hear about that thing, in everyone I meet.
Phishing Scam Alert: Someone Is Faking An Email About Your Apple ID. Don't Click on It.
Yesterday I met a woman who owns a trained hawk, so I already wrote a whole post about that, because seriously, what is more interesting than being a professional falconer with a hawk and one of those gnarly leather wrist guards?
Email address: I used my super expert knowledge of PhotoShop (ha!) to blank out the email addresses, but this one was addressed FROM my email address, TO my email address. Apple communication always comes from an apple.com address.
Salutation: Apple is way to meticulous to let an email go out with the typo “Dears ,” in the heading, and usually their emails contain your actual name. This part alone tips me off.
“Verify Now” link. Calls to action in Apple communications usually take the form of a button, not a link. Also, I think that Apple communications are usually white on grey, not grey on white like this one.
Based on those three factors, I would declare this a “phishing” email. In case you’re not familiar with “phishing,” that is where hackers pretend to be real companies in order to get you to give up your usernames/ passwords/ other private info, which they then use in nefarious ways. Giving your Apple ID to a hacker would be very bad, becuase as you know, your Apple ID controls all the parts of your online life with Apple (including your iTunes).
WHOA, check out that url! This website belongs to a company in Brazil, so this is definitely not an Apple website, but the hackers have spoofed the Apple “enter information” user interface to exactly match, so that if you don’t happen to look at the scary url, you will give them your apple ID and password.
Note: I suspect this company might also have been hacked, because the domain tells me that this page is an “orphan” page that was added to a Wordpress installation. If there ever was an argument for aggressive security and managed hosting for Wordpress, this would be it.
Note 2: Yes, I know that my PhotoShopping skills make me look like I’m in the fifth grade. Eventually I’m going to actually buy a tablet that has a pen, so I don’t have to keep circling things and writing on photos using my computer’s trackpad.
I reached out to both Apple and Microsoft, and neither of them would comment on whether they had experienced a security breach that would have allowed hackers to gain access to my email address. If you get an email like this, you should definitely send it to reportphishing@apple.com, where I bet there are a team of Apple lawyers in a conference room right now, trying to figure out how this happened and how to shut these guys down. I did this as soon as I got the email, and I got a response back saying they were looking into it. I will update again if I hear back from either Apple or Microsoft, or if they issue a statement on what went wrong or what you should do about it.
In case you’re curious, this has happened several other times. Here’s a story about a “suspended Apple ID” phishing email that went out back in October, and here’s one that just happened a few weeks ago.
I feel so much better, don't you?
Academy Awards 2013: Live Blogging Starts at 8:30!
As you might know, the Academy Awards are tonight, so we’ll be starting the live-blogging right around the start of the show, which is 8:30pm eastern time if you’re curious. We do that on our "Annoying Commentary" Facebook Page, which also throws off Tweets to Stephan's Twitter. We don’t usually bother with the red carpet, because there is already so much coverage of that, plus we like to see what people are going to actually SAY when the awards are in motion—this is what we find the most humorous. Also, starting the coverage when the actual show starts means that we can get our drink on, which makes us even funnier.
Actually, MY awards show hobby (in addition to the live-blogging of snarky comments) is to try to capture the faces of the nominees who DON’T win, or who are somehow put into awkward situations (like Mel Gibson at the Golden Globes). I find it endlessly amusing that these people who are paid to be professional actors (therefore, paid to put on fake emotions) are often in a battle of the wills with their huge egos, and sometimes the twisted remnants of this battle can be read right on their faces. It’s a Catch-22, really- the very fact that they are famous actors and actresses presupposes that their egos are absolutely gigantic, and yet, in this moment, they are called upon to suppress this ego, the very thing that got them there in the first place, and try to put on a “gracious loser facade” when they lose an award to someone else. I don’t want to sound like a pessimist, but I don’t know why more of these people don’t practice their “gracious loser” face, since being nominated means you only have a 1 in 5 chance of winning. That’s an 80% loss rate, which is why I find it so surprising when people can’t pull it together to “act” like they are happy for the winner. They ARE actors, after all.
Here’s the face I’m looking for tonight.
This is kind of a “cheating” example, since Taylor Swift is a musician, but this was my favorite face from the Golden Globe awards (besides that classic “Mel Gibson is confused by Jodie Foster” shot). This is Taylor Swift’s reaction when she loses the Golden Globe for Best Song to Adele. You guys! Taylor Swift deserves to win everything, and when she doesn’t, she makes a pouty face.
I will be giving out my own award for "Best Sore Loser," and you can see who wins that tomorrow, along with a photo.
Lucky the Leprechaun is getting more and more evil with each iteration. Is that not true?
Also-- they've changed the box to green (from pink) for St. Patrick's Day, which just reminds me--hey, Lucky is Irish-- the box should ALWAYS be green. Finally, why do they call out "green clovers?" Clovers are green, right? Is this worth paying extra in graphic design charges?
Just an update today—the IndieReCon conference is still going on, my giveaway is going to close in about eight hours, and generally speaking, people are asking great questions and saying nice things to me about my posts, so that’s always good. I’ve answered all the questions people have posted so far, and will continue to do so at least through the end of the conference today. As you might know, I’m on a life mission to make complicated concepts more simple and accessible and to provide tangible action steps that can be taken right away.
Here are some of the nice things people said about my IndieReCon entries, in case you need more enticement to go over there and read them.
OK, so—today I am participating in an online literary conference. I wrote two posts for it, and they are both live as of NOW, so I’m actually not cheating on my resolution to write every day of 2013. You should definitely go over there and check out IndieReCon. There is some awesome information over there, PLUS they are giving away free stuff all day. DO IT!
If you’re a writer, you write all the time, right? You’ve got your book (or books) out, you’re updating a blog on a regular basis, and you’ve got some kind of social media presence, and your website is up to date.
These are the things I’m assuming you have, because they are the basics you need to be a writer in 2013. Writers are creative types, but they also need to be organized. I wrote a whole book that walks writers through doing this, step by step. However you get there, you need to have some kind of network going where people can get to know your writing, buy your work (if you have some to sell), and get in touch with you to offer you multi-million dollar book deals.
The bulk of the work is going to be done by you. Today, I’m just going to tell you about a couple of things you could (should) be doing to make it more possible for people to find your work. Read the full post, comment, and enter the giveaway!
SEO and Metatagging Part II: Where to Put Keywords!
Now that you’ve done your keyword research (and wasn’t it so interesting?), you’ll need to go back and put these keywords into your website so that the search engines will associate your site with these words, with the ultimate goal of having your site pop up when people Google those words. The words are the demand, your site is the supply. Got it?
These instructions are for people with sites based on Wordpress, which gives you the easiest access to your metadata. If your site was built using html, you will need to actually crack open the back-end with a program like Dreamweaver or have your designer/ developer do it for you. This is another reason I recommend that authors switch over to Wordpress. (.org, not .com).
Read the whole post at the IndieReCon website!
I guess I'm one of the "more than 30 guests." I'm going to check my ego and not be offended that I'm not included in the description, and neither is the actual famous author who told me about the conference in the first place. Who cares? Life is too short. Just go over there and learn something, why don't you? My posts are about SEO/ Metadata for authors, and those will be going live tomorrow and Thursday. I will also be over there answering questions, or you can ask them here.
Also, in keeping with the "pictures of weird food" theme, I happened upon these travesties while food shopping the other day. Apparently the Lindt Corporation, which actually has the distinction of making my absolute favorite chocolate in the world (Dark Chocolate With Sea Salt), has expanded their product line to include "things so disgusting they will surely ruin chocolate for you forever."
I'm unclear as to whether this chocolate actually contains horseradish, or if it's just a wafting of (disgusting) wasabi flavor. Let's get this thing clear-- I don't want my chocolate to hurt me.
Lindt also has a chocolate that contains chili peppers, and again-- STOP IT. THAT IS NASTY.
Exhibit B: PASSION FRUIT CHOCOLATE. I kind of feel like Lindt is trying to expand their brands as if they were a gum manufacturer, but they don't make gum. They make chocolate. Mangoes just do not belong inside a chocolate bar, I'm sorry.
That's it for today! Go over and read some of the great articles at IndieReCon, for real!

These are crazy times in a world gone mad, but fear does not have to control our lives, our speech, our manner of being in the world or how we respond to our fellow human beings.
Let me use an example. I cannot know about you, but I was quite disappointed in Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s publicizing of her DNA. She let Trump’s insanity occupy her and caused her to behave in ways that echo Trump himself. We have to try our best to continue a spiritual state of mind before and after meditation or prayer, whatever it may be that we do. Praying or meditating and then going off to commit murder will not bring any of us to paradise either in this life or in the next.
Frankly, while journalists, writers, teachers and innocent people are being imprisoned without hope, while a journalist of our own—Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi of The Washington Post—has his fingers removed, is decapitated and then dismembered, who has the time or the energy to think about Elizabeth Warren’s DNA? We are all the same. In her right mind, Warren would not be thinking about it either. She is a brilliant and strong woman. But even she allowed Trump to get to her, to respond in a way that honestly does not make her look as smart as she is. She is not alone.
Now I must admit, the look on my face in this photo, although blissful, is not my ongoing state of mind. I have to remind myself where my priorities lie and then work on myself constantly. There are times that I fail and must then say “osu” to myself.
Osu is an expression I learned studying Japanese karate. The phrase is “oshi shinobu” which translates roughly to: I will continue to try harder. It is used in the shortened form as a term of respect and ongoing commitment to do the right thing and persevere through adversity. In the old days, it was used in the Japanese military. Yelling “osu” when lining up to fight someone I felt to be much stronger than myself would give me the courage to do my best.
We cannot know if our inner peace is effective in the larger scheme of things, but I do believe that it can affect the inner peace of those closest to us and those who move around us. When we operate from a place of lovingkindness within, how can those around us not feel it as well? However far that lovingkindness spreads is not up to us. We have to try to do it anyway.
Fear is an old technique, and it is effective. In these challenging times, fear is being used everywhere on this planet. Perhaps it always has been. Our hell is right here on this earth. But so is our heaven. What we embrace is always up to us.

To avoid the situation in which deleting a fiber cable without first disconnecting the cable results in the associated circuit not updating its Circuit Length, you can use the ReCalc button in Circuit Manager.
After updating entries in Connection Manager, the Circuit Manager button on the Fiber Manager toolbar changes appearance: .
Based on those updated entries in Connection Manager, in Circuit Manager you can select <show recalc circuits only> from the Circuit Type drop-down to show only those circuits that need recalculated.
Highlight a circuit from the list and click ReCalc.
If you happen to end an edit session without updating any circuits in the Circuit Type list, you receive a warning.
If you save and return later, or you save and post the changes, you won’t see the updated circuits in the Circuit Type list. Therefore, you can choose to save the updated circuits to a file so you can recalculate lengths at a different time.
