With scrapbook, you can save all the pictures of your kid in one place. Image courtesy of Facebook.
Facebook started out for fun-loving college students, but in a sign that the demographic is changing, the social network is adding a new setting called scrapbook.
Scrapbook allows partners to tag pictures of their little loved one and store them all on one page. The photos appear in their own section on your timeline, as a way for friends, family, and yourself to easily go back and look at pictures of your precious little humans.
Parents can create a scrapbook for anyone under 13, the age at which new users can register for their own Facebook page page. You can create your own scrapbook or co-own them with a partner that you're listed as in a relationship with on Facebook.
Scrapbooks are more selective than actual pages and have increased security settings. For example, instead of just naming the tag after the person, you can also name it something creative, like initials or a nickname, if you don't want to put your child's name on Facebook. Additionally, only the partners who created the scrapbook can tag pictures of the child for now.
Although the setting is catered toward little humans, I imagine that Facebook stop won't stop anyone from tagging pictures of a dog or other furry creature that is practically their child anyway.
1. Click About on your profile page.
3. There's now an invitation to create a scrapbook. Click on Get Started.
4. (Facebook walks you through) Add your child as a relationship to you on Facebook.
5. (Facebook walks you through) Let your partner tag your child, too.
I think that's really neat.

Inherited disorders of hemostasis encompass abnormalities in primary hemostasis, coagulation, and fibrinolysis resulting from genetic mutations. There is significant variation in the phenotype expressed ranging from life limiting to the absence of overt clinical signs. Von Willebrand disease is the most common primary hemostatic disorder in dogs, and hemophilia A is the most common coagulation factor disorder. The diagnosis of inherited bleeding disorders is made by functional and/or quantitative evaluation. Genetic testing has added to the knowledge base, allowing prevention through targeted breeding. Avoidance of trauma and injury is paramount in the prevention of bleeding in animals diagnosed with inherited hemostatic disorders. Current therapeutic options include platelet transfusions, broad replacement of coagulation factors (e.g., plasma), targeted factor replacement (e.g., cryoprecipitate), antifibrinolytic agents and specific factor replacement, and treatment of the symptoms (i.e., bleeding) with blood transfusions.

Link to Providence College Performing Arts Center Project PDF.
Working in the capacity of Owner's Representative for Providence College, Farrar & Associates assisted the school with constructing a new Performing Arts Center.
Completed in the spring of 2005, this 2½-story, 60,000 sq. ft. building serves as the premiere teaching and performance facility for undergraduates enrolled in academic courses in the performing arts disciplines, or participating in a wide range of extracurricular activities involving music, theatre, and dance.
The primary performance spaces are the 283 seat Angell Blackfriars Theatre and a 272 seat Concert Hall. Additionally, the building houses a "black box" teaching theatre, dance studio, 20-keyboard piano lab, film screening classroom, music library and choral and instrumental practice rooms. In addition, each academic discipline in the performing arts has extensive office space for faculty and staff, conference rooms and storage areas.
At the request of the client, Farrar was also retained to assist with overseeing the construction of a new 4-acre outdoor green area, or "quad", immediately adjacent to the new Performing Arts Center.


FMJ Vs JHP - Which Side Are You On?
Which round do you carry? Which round do you practice with? Which round is better and why?
These are all questions that I have heard and discussed many times. As with anything in the gun world, we all have different ideas and perspectives on things. I will go over my way of thinking and why I feel the way I do.
The reason I shoot FMJ at the range is simple- PRICE. A thousand rounds of 9mm FMJ is typically less than $200, while JHP are substantially more expensive. The FMJ are arguably more readily available and are a very consistent round.
The FMJ does have quite a few drawbacks, especially when it is concerning your life that is on the line. The main issue I have with carrying FMJ in my CCW is over penetration. The FMJ ammo will not expand upon impact and will destroy less tissue, bone and vital organs. Now, let's keep it real and always remember shot placement FAR outweighs the type of ammunition you shoot. God forbid you should have to utilize your weapon to defend yourself, and you will own that bullet even if it is a clean hit and it passes through your assailant and kills an innocent bystander.
Does the FMJ have less "stopping or knowdown power"? Well, since neither of these are tactical terms whatsoever nor can they be measured, we will rely on simple physics. A round shaped object that remains round upon impact will stay in the body for a shorter period of time and move at a faster rate of speed.
A round object that deforms upon impact will stay in the body for a longer period of time allowing for more damage to be done and move at a slower rate of speed.
Now, I am not saying that a FMJ can't stop someone dead in their tracks, rather it is less likely to do so if shot in the same area as a JHP. When you see a one shot stop it is because the round sent a shock wave through the central nervous system, such as the spine, neck, heart or brain.
Now, are JHP's a magical round that will blow someone's arm off even if you graze them? Absolutely not. The JHP is a round that will form that mushroom we all like to see and will tear and rip as it passes through a body. A larger wound channel will create more blood loss and will incapacitate someone faster than a smaller wound channel.
I personally shoot FMJ at the range and carry JHP in my CCW. I feel as though the JHP gives me a higher percentage to stop an aggressor and less chance to hurt someone that is not engaged in the fight. Now, these are my opinions. As I have stated, the words always and never very seldom ring true, so give what I am saying a shake and see if you agree or disagree.
When it comes to utilizing your CCW in a deadly use of force, there will be no mulligans or do overs. So, pick what you feel the most comfortable with and have the most confidence in. For me, I trust JHP to protect my family, my life and your family.

Meal kit delivery — fad or future of food?
KANSAS CITY — With the potential to disrupt both the grocery and restaurant industries, meal kit delivery has burgeoned into a $1.5 billion market that is expected to at least double over the next few years, according to Packaged Facts, Rockville, Md. Appealing to consumer demand for convenient, restaurant-quality meals, such services deliver pre-measured, fresh ingredients, along with recipes and instructions directly to subscribers. Currently, more than 150 services compete on a national, regional or local basis, led by Blue Apron, HelloFresh and Plated.
The success of the meal kit market recently has attracted such players as Tyson Foods, Inc., Martha Stewart and the Kroger Co. Rodney McMullen, chairman and chief executive officer of the Cincinnati-based supermarket company, said Kroger would "absolutely" pursue expanding into the meal kit market.
The meal kit delivery service market is led by Blue Apron, HelloFresh and Plated.
"As you can imagine, we would look at any and all approaches," Mr. McMullen said during a conference on June 16. "The thing that's important is if we find somebody to make an investment in that they would value the leverage that we bring to the party as well and assign some value to that. So, it's not just something that has pure option value in the way they're getting valued.
Earlier this year, Tyson Foods revealed plans to launch Tyson Tastemakers, described by the company as a curated line of dinner experiences that may be made fresh at home. During an investor conference in March, Donnie Smith, president and chief executive officer of Tyson, said the platform, which is part of a partnership with Amazon Fresh, will empower the home chef by addressing "questions they have around knowledge, preparation and exploration." Varieties include tandoori chicken thighs, Thai basil boneless chicken breast and Korean steak tacos.
Tyson Foods plans to launch Tyson Tastemakers, a line of dinner experiences that may be made fresh at home.
With its supply chain and demand capabilities, Tyson is uniquely positioned to innovate in the fresh packaged space, Mr. Smith said.
"Tyson TasteMakers will combine the know-how of our chicken, beef, and pork businesses, the power of the food service culinary expertise and our C.P.G. brand-building capabilities," he added.
Martha & Marley Spoon meal kits include pre-portioned ingredients delivered in a chilled box containing dish bags that sort ingredients by recipe.
Other brands may enter the meal kit market through a joint venture with an established business. Earlier this month Sequential Brands Group, which bought Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia last year, announced a partnership with Marley Spoon, a subscription meal delivery service, to convert Ms. Stewart's 18,000 recipes into meal kits. The kits include pre-portioned ingredients delivered in a chilled box containing dish bags that sort ingredients by recipe. Recipe cards with step-by-step instructions also are included. Dishes include baked feta and tomatoes, crispy chicken thighs and sausage bake with beans and broccoli rabe, among others.
Whether meal kit delivery services are a fad or the future of food remains to be seen. Convenience and quality aside, consumers consider meal kits to be a healthier alternative to dining out, according to Packaged Facts, and many services appeal to special diets, such as vegan or gluten-free. However, despite the advantages, a potential downside is cost. Consumers may pay an average of $10 to $15 per serving, Packaged Facts noted, and some users may be turned off by the excessive use of packaging in meal kits.
Kara Nielsen, culinary trend analyst for Sterling Rice Group, Boulder, Colo., weighed in on the trend.
"Right now the field is extreme crowded in many urban markets, like San Francisco, with lots of small companies getting by on early rounds of investment funding, but they are already starting to close due to intense competition and indistinguishable offerings," Ms. Nielsen told Food Business News. "In the long run, it is likely that only a few of the major players will remain standing, like Blue Apron. These companies will expand offerings, probably getting into prepared meals and branded cookware or ingredients. This moment feels faddish with everyone flocking to the model, but it is still early days, and we'll surely see a shake-out in the longer term."

Aerobic oxidation of aldehydes catalyzed by ε-Keggin type polyoxometalates [Mo12VO39(μ2-OH)10H2{XII(H2O)3}4] (X = Ni, Co, Mn and Cu) as heterogeneous catalysts
Dorit Sloboda-Rozner, Karine Neimann, Ronny Neumann
Polyoxometalates of the ε-Keggin structure [Mo12VO39(μ2-OH)10H2{XII(H2O)3}4] (X = Ni, Co, Mn and Cu), have been synthesized. While the nickel substituted compound was known, the cobalt, manganese and copper analogs are new. These ε-Keggin polyoxometalates are insoluble and, except for the nickel analog, could not be obtained in crystalline form. The IR spectra indicate that for cobalt and manganese substitution the compounds are isostructural to the nickel derivative. The ε-Keggin polyoxometalates were used as heterogeneous catalysts for the aerobic oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids. The selectivity of the reaction was highly dependent on the identity of the aldehyde. Aliphatic linear aldehydes, e.g. octanal, and benzaldehyde react quantitatively and selectively to the respective carboxylic acids. 2-Methyl-undecanal reacted quite selectively yielding as minor product 2-undecanone by decarboxylation. 2-Phenylpropanal showed more significant β-methyl cleavage. Substrates with a variety of functional moieties such as myrtenal and 5-norbornene-2-carboxaldehyde yielded considerable amounts of formates via a Dakin type reaction and allylic oxidation products.

Back on Labor Day, instead of cooking, we went to Spice India for a midday meal. What a good choice! I don't know if it was a special buffet for the holiday or if they just decided to step it up a bit, but we were blown away by the variety and the quality of the food they presented.
My husband ordered a mango lassi, a mango/yogurt smoothie that's almost like a dessert, and I had the iced tea.
We both opted for the buffet. They had 12 or 13 offerings of hot food, some vegetarian, some with chicken and one with goat meat. There were salad offerings, too, including the dreaded lime pickle, a kind of lentil/flour dumpling in yogurt, and ordinary salad fare.
I only took a little of each thing so I wouldn't get full before I'd tasted it all. The flavors were wonderful and a few dishes included just the right amount of mild burn. The palak paneer, a spinach dish with squares of fresh curd cheese, and the butter chicken, which has an orange sauce, were especially delicious. I have to admit, I was too timid to try the goat.
For dessert they offered both carrot halwa and kheer, a delicious creamy rice-pudding-type dessert. As with every Indian dessert I've ever tasted, they were yummy.
The only complaint I had was that my iced tea was too sweet, but those who have been to India tell me that makes it authentic.
We've seen Indian restaurants in Lehigh Valley like Far Pavillions in Bethlehem and the Raj Palace in Whitehall come and go. But from the number of people who were eating there, even at that odd hour, it looks like Spice India is here to stay. We certainly plan to be frequent visitors!

Elizabeth House provides high quality accommodation and support for single homeless people. Residents, ranging in age from 16 upwards, are accommodated in self-contained en-suite flats, one of which is accessible to wheelchair users. The idea of the service is to support vulnerable people away from homelessness and onto independent living in the community. Staff, who are on site 24 hours a day, provide extensive support to boost residents' skills, their confidence and their ambitions before they are able to make the transition to move-on accommodation.
Elizabeth House is preventing homelessness and providing much needed opportunities to vulnerable people – people who would otherwise be homeless and at risk of entrenched social exclusion. The service provides so much more than just a bed for the night; it provides a solid and supported base from which homeless people can begin their recovery with dignity and security, and plan for the rest of their lives.
Elizabeth House is just one of several Framework accommodation centres that gives vulnerable people a second chance.

WCR deputy governor urges youths to eschew illegal migration
At a four day guidance and counselling workshop for over three hundred young people in West Coast Region sponsored by Ecowas- Spanish Migration and Development Fund (ESMDF), he said:
"Nothing should force young people to risk their lives in the high seas to Europe for greener pastures .We are calling on the young people to embrace the leadership's efforts in promoting the welfare of the young in the country .President Jammeh has created a lot of avenues for young people since taking the mantle of leadership in order for them to be responsible leaders.
Forcing yourselves and risking your lives on the back way in the high seas is very disheartening and I am convinced that at the end of the training, you will be able to appreciate the dangers of illegal migration. The 'back way' phenomenon is killing a lot of young people from The Gambia and it is high time we made a stop to it since there are avenues in the country where young people can work and earn a decent living".
The immigration officer in charge of the West Coast Region, Nfamara Colley, noted that the motive behind the sensitisation is to reduce illegal migration which is claiming the lives of many young Gambians
"Since young people are the cream and future of the country, they should embark on things that will not ruin their lives and this back way journey is indeed frightening .It is the duty of young people to engage themselves in meaningful work rather than endangering their lives to reach mainland Europe", he enunciated.
Sharing her entrepreneurial experience, the proprietor of MJ beauty salon and skills centre Mariama Jallow advised the participants to engage in activities that will earn them good returns. She then recalled starting her own business in 2008 and subsequently training over two thousand young people in different skills for a decent living.
Inspector Mbissin Touray of The Gambia Immigration head office in Banjul called for a change of attitudes towards the 'backway' ,adding that the government and partners are not discouraging young people from traveling abroad but through legal avenues.

Tips For Renting a Dumpster in Beaver Meadows, Pennsylvania.
With all of the various dumpster options and rental businesses out there vying for your business it can be overwhelming deciding on the selection that will best satisfy your needs. Renting a dumpster in Beaver Meadows might seem like a simple task, but often times people underestimate the size or weight requirements that they're going to need to get the job completed. It's not always about size options when choosing a dumpster to rent, but also the types of waste you're going to be disposing of and if they will result in additional charges. In this article we'll review some of the most common questions that people ask when wanting to rent a good dumpster for themselves.
Disposing of waste yourself can rapidly become a job in and of itself. You'll need to think about fuel costs for transporting the dumpster, correct disposal grounds and sometimes even permits to correctly dispose of your unwanted materials. It's always easier to rent a dumpster than it is to make multiple trips with your own vehicle, but you'll want to make a list of the costs involved so you can anticipate cost accordingly. The cost of your removal process will be determined by the size, weight and materials your waste is made up of. Your budget concerns can also be impacted by possible permit costs in Beaver Meadows.
Your most impactful choice in selecting a dumpster to rent will be what size to get. Although you don't want to go too far over what size you believe you're going to require, it's always better to overestimate your size than underestimate, because you don't want to have to rent another one for a small amount of garbage. When renting a dumpster the most common sizes options you'll have will be 10, 20, 30 and 40 cubic yards. To give you an idea of what size matches what type of task, a 20 cubic yard dumpster would be perfect for cleaning out a garage or shed. In order to ensure you're getting the correct it's a good idea to inform your rental company in Beaver Meadows exactly what types of waste you'll be disposing of.
You might rent a dumpster that has a lot of space for your garbage, but you should also be aware of possible weight restrictions. A dumpster may look huge, but you'd be surprised how much weight and space your materials can take up. Because of this, it's important to keep an eye on the weight of the things you're throwing away, since no one wants to incur extra fees due to exceeding weight capacities. It's not just weight charges to be aware of, but also any additional environmental charges that you could incur depending on the regulations in Beaver Meadows.
Before deciding on what type of dumpster you're going to rent it's a good idea to make a list of possible items you're going to be tossing in it. Dumpster rental businesses in Beaver Meadows could have items that they don't allow you to get rid of that could be dangerous or impact the environment. Your company could ban items like pain cans, oil containers, chemicals or refrigerators, which are often times items people are looking to dispose of. It's also a good idea to write down a list of major items you're going to be disposing of and that will give you idea of the dumpster size you'll need. Trash cleanups and furniture removals can typically be covered by a 10 to 20 cubic yard dumpster.
Rental prices are effected by a wide range of factors. Most dumpster service providers give you a no-cost estimate for their services. Clearly, bigger dumpsters can carry far more volume and weight. The cost of dumpster companies transporting and dumping large containers, even if they aren't completely filled, is going to demand more effort. Because of this, renting larger containers is more expensive than smaller dumpsters.
When selecting a dumpster rental company it's always best to go with one in the local Beaver Meadows area. This is because locally managed companies can save you a bunch of time and hassle going through paperwork, since they will already work with local recycling and waste disposal businesses. They'll also have a heads up as to where the best locations to dispose of waste materials are. Try to provide your rental company with as many details as possible, this will enable them to give you the best price estimate.

10 Facts About Krysten Ritter, AKA JESSICA JONES
Nigel G Mitchell 12/08/2014 06:30:00 PM Jessica-Jones, krysten-ritter, netflix
Krysten Ritter; Source: AP/Marvel
Deadline announced (and Marvel confirmed) that Krysten Ritter has been cast as ex-superheroine Jessica Jones in the upcoming Netflix TV series. The series AKA Jessica Jones will be based on the comic series about a superheroine whose PTSD forces her to retire and become a private detective. Here's your chance to catch up on Ritter and what she brings to the series.
1. Ritter was born on December 16, 1981 in Shickshinny, Pennsylvania. Yes, that's an actual place.
2. She started out her career as a model at the age of fifteen. She worked steadily ever since high school, doing runway, magazine, and catalog work in New York, Paris, Tokyo, and Milan.
3. In 2001, Ritter quit modeling to focus her attention on acting.
4. Ritter is best known for her roles as Jane Margolis on AMC's Breaking Bad and the lead Chloe on the ABC comedy Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23.
5. She has appeared in films such as What Happens in Vegas (2008), 27 Dresses (2008), Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009), and She's Out of My League (2010). She's also appeared in the television series Gilmore Girls, Gossip Girl, Gravity, 'Til Death, and Veronica Mars.
Source: AMC
6. At 5'9", Krysten Ritter is quite tall, so she'll bring a statuesque look to the character.
7. Ritter is also a writer, who sold a TV pilot she wrote based on her experiences as a model, and also wrote an as-yet unproduced female-buddy comedy screenplay.
8. As if that's not enough, she plays guitar and sings in a band called Ex Vivian
9. She did an ad for PETA to promote awareness of the dangers of leaving dogs in hot cars.
10. After Apartment 23 was cancelled, she was supposed to appear in an NBC comedy pilot Assistance, but it wasn't picked up to series. The same thing happened when she was announced as the star of another TV show Asthma, and an NBC NASA-inspired comedy Mission Control. Let's hope Jessica Jones doesn't endure the same fate.
Bonus: Despite claims to the contrary, she's not related to John Ritter.

All I've seen her is in Breaking Ba as well.
MedeiaSharif December 9, 2014 at 3:22 AM
I'm really behind in entertainment. This is the first time I've heard of her.
DAVID WALSTON December 9, 2014 at 8:02 AM
Great info. I've seen her before, but I've never noticed her before.

Trade unions under attack: Unite and fight the attacks on the workers' movement
The Workers movement all over the country is faced with savage attacks by the capitalist class on their right to organise themselves into unions.
The State machinery, including the governments at the Center and in the states, and the courts, are working at the behest of the capitalist class to crush workers trying to organise themselves in defence of their rights. Workers unions are being declared illegal, and trade union organisers are being jailed on false charges for years on end.
Press conference in Jharkhand to protest against banning of trade unions (file photo)
The Mazdoor Sangathan Samiti, a trade union in Jharkhand which has been organising workers since 1985, was banned by the Jharkhand government on 21stDecember 2017 under the Criminal Law Amendment Act 1908 (CLA). The Union was fighting for the rights of coal miners, workers in thermal power plants, factory workers, doli workers and landless agricultural workers. All the offices of the union in different towns of the state were shut down, its bank account frozen, and even the hospital run by the union that provided free medical care for workers has been ordered closed. Eighteen leaders of the Union have been incarcerated in the jails. The latest to be arrested under the CLA and the UAPA (Unlawful Activities Prevention Act) were its Secretary and Organising secretary, who were arrested on 31st May 2018.
Apart from the Mazdoor Sangathan Samiti, many other workers organisations have been banned in the state, including Mazdoor Ekta Sangh, Madhuban, Mazdoor Ekta Manch, Bokaro, Ulgulan Mazdoor Manch, Ranchi; and Mazdoor Ekta Sangha, Bokaro Thermal.
The government of Jharkhand has been going ahead full steam on the course of handing over the land and mineral resources of the state, as well as public sector companies such as Bokaro Thermal to the biggest Indian and foreign monopolies. Workers' organisations have been exposing and opposing this program. These organisations are being banned to smash the opposition of workers to this anti worker, anti-social program.
The course of globalization through liberalization and privatization, pursued by the Indian bourgeoisie for the past 25 years, has been accompanied by increasing attacks on the livelihood and rights of workers. It has met with mounting opposition from workers all over the country. Despite all out efforts of the bourgeoisie and their governments to prevent workers from organising themselves into unions and fighting for their rights, workers have not given up their struggle. In these conditions, the bourgeoisie has utilized the state machinery to smash the workers unions and target the main organisers. It has declared that all those opposing its course for the economy are "anti-national" and "anti-development". To justify its attacks on trade unions and worker organisers it carries out massive propaganda that they are "sympathetic to Maoism".
148 workers from Maruthi Suzuki, Manesar were tortured in jail for more than 4 years, on concocted charges. The Additional Sessions Court was forced to release 135 of these workers, as the charges against them were baseless. However, the same court sentenced 13 workers, including 12 union organisers, to life imprisonment.
Eight union organisers of Pricol, Coimbatore were given double life sentence. Later on, after several years in jail, 6 of them were acquitted by the High Court. However, the High Court upheld the sentence for two of the workers, even though there was no evidence against them. The Supreme Court rejected the appeal by these two workers without even a hearing, while it has upheld the appeal of the Pricol Managament against the decision of the Madras High Court to release 6 workers.
There are dozens of cases where workers are facing jail sentences for fighting for their rights. It has become extremely difficult for workers to organise themselves into unions of their choice. In the name of "ease of doing business", the Central and state governments are amending the Industrial Relations Act, Factories Act, Contract Labour Act, Trade Unions Act, and other such acts to attack whatever rights workers have had in the past.
All communists, all organisers of the working class need to unitedly fight the attack on the workers movement.

To The Moon: MPI Grad Screens @ Sundance and lands in IMAX Theaters with Apollo 11
When we think of hitting it big in the film festival circuit we think of the SUNANCE FILM FESTIVAL in Park City, Utah. When we think of making it to the big screen, there is none bigger than IMAX. Add to this mix a national theatrical release, interviews on CNN, MSN, and PBS and you've got the bucket list for every living breathing filmmaker on the planet. That's exactly what Todd Douglas Miller has achieved in his years since graduating the Motion Picture Institute's comprehensive one year filmmaking program (www.mpifilm.com).
Todd Miller Filmmaker Magazine Interview
The following is an interview Todd recently did with Filmmaker Magazine. In it he mentions MPI fondly and how he went from an aspiring filmmaker to a bonafide success by screening at Sundance and directing the critically acclaimed documentary APOLLO 11 that's playing across the nation in IMAX theatres.
Check out Todd's full interview below:
Todd Douglas Miller's Apollo 11, which premiered at this year's Sundance, originated from the simple idea of using archival footage to revisit, in time for its 50th anniversary, the first moon landing. For those who've grown up watching the same images trotted out over and over—Neil Armstrong bouncing on the moon, a burning ring of fire propelling itself backwards toward Earth as Apollo leaves the planet—the premise seems tedious and redundant, an ossified staple of Baby Boomer montages regularly intercut alongside clips of Woodstock and the Vietnam War, now freshly recharged by nationalistic rumblings about a space force. And as far as feature documentaries go, this ground was covered 30 years ago, when it was only the landing's 20th anniversary, in Al Reinert's For All Mankind. What else could there be to see? As the archival assembly of Apollo 11 demonstrates, plenty.
Miller premiered his previous documentary, 2014's Dinosaur 13, at Sundance after a break from feature filmmaking. During this time, he'd started a production company, Statement Pictures, and was working on a short for CNN about the final moon mission, Apollo 17. That project coincided with the rediscovery of a trove of 70mm Apollo 11 footage, the bulk of it previously unseen by the public, that had been shot during the mission. The footage had once rested in NASA's storage facilities, and while some of it had been used (albeit cropped from widescreen to a 4:3 ratio) by Theo Kamecke's 1970 documentary Moonwalk One, the bulk had been relocated into the National Archives' vaults, unseen and semi-forgotten. At the same time, thousands of hours of audio recorded on 30-track recorders from Mission Control had been sorted through by Stephen Slater, a 31-year-old independent archivist whose labor of love was to try to sync this audio (recently digitized by engineers at UT Dallas) with silent mission footage.
Edited and directed by Miller, Apollo 11 begins in the immediate hours before liftoff, as the rocket is towed out toward the landing pad. The massive visual scale of the enterprise is restored, the sound all-encompassing, reawakening a whole dimension of spectacle that's been removed through overfamiliarity. In montages crafted from newspaper headlines and stills, Miller tersely fills in the backgrounds of the three astronauts—Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and the perpetually underrecognized Michael Collins—but focuses on the experiential aspects of the event rather than the psychology. (For those haunted by recent footage of Aldrin standing behind President Donald J. Trump and barely keeping his face from collapsing into disgust during a recent press conference about Making NASA Great Again, the footage of Nixon calling and congratulating the crew on their accomplishment is a useful reminder that perhaps not much has changed, merely worsened in the same ideological direction.) Talking heads are not an option; graphics are limited to a single recurring illustration of the spacecraft's trajectory to the moon and back.
Made with the help of NASA and the National Archives, Apollo 11 evolved from just a documentary into a full archival digitization project that's also an unusual example of an American public–private partnership, in which the corporate monies used to restore and freshly digitize footage on a variety of formats serves the public end of preserving the footage for future citizens. A Midwesterner who now lives in Brooklyn, Miller spoke about the considerable archival challenges of assembling Apollo 11, now in release from Neon/CNN Films.
Filmmaker: I looked at your IMDb resume this morning, which specifies that your first film, from 2001, had a $12,000 budget. I don't know where that number came from.
Miller: I didn't even know that was on there.
Filmmaker: After that there's a narrative film, then a gap during which you started a company that works on short films, archival, IMAX. You came back around to features with Dinosaur 13 and now this. So, your entire production model has changed, and you assimilated a lot of skills working with archival and large format over the years. Can you talk about that trajectory?
Miller: The first documentary I did was Gahanna Bill. It started in film school, at the Motion Picture Institute, outside of Detroit. I went to Eastern Michigan University, and it was a lot of film theory. We're talking about the late 1990s, the last century. They shut down the production department, got rid of all the Bolexes, Rex 16s. There were a couple of filmmakers, local guys who worked with Sam Raimi, one of whom was Douglas Schulze, who opened up a training school. It was one of the few, back before there were a million of them, and it was great because they had all new equipment, new lights, new cameras. We were shooting on 16 at the time, and had a bunch of Arri S's. Gahanna Bill started on 16, [then] we shot a little 35. I followed a middle-aged, mentally handicapped guy in Columbus, Ohio, the town I'd grown up in, for about four years. He was kind of the town mascot, and it became this community inclusion piece. We went from a somewhat big film school–esque crew to everybody wearing every hat. By the time I'd finished, the VariCam had come out [and] the Sony CineAlta, so we were finishing on video and digital with some of the first big boy cameras. Long story short, it was a good little film to learn how to make movies on.
I really wanted to be in narrative, so my next film was Scaring the Fish. We shot it in six days in upstate New York, from a script that we'd gotten through a theater company, MCC, written by Ben Bettenbender. We wanted to shoot it with two cameras and just go, so we shot very quickly, like 20 pages a day. It was a fun thing and really didn't go anywhere. We just did it as an experiment to see if we could do it. And then, I always have to eat, so I've been doing freelance directing and producing gigs along the way for years. I've done stints at various production companies where they have large format films [and] shot large format digital for a lot of corporations. Being in and around Detroit, there was a lot of car shooting that went on, both on film and in large format, so I was always exposed to that side of the industry.
Dinosaur 13 was an attempt to make an art film about paleontology that evolved into following one particular paleontologist's story. Plus, it was a great excuse to get out of New York City for a while and live out of a tent in the Badlands of South Dakota and Wyoming. After Dinosaur 13, we were approached by a lot of people to do things. I've had Statement Pictures with my producing partner, Tom Petersen, for a while now. We really like doing our own thing; we're quality over quantity kind of people, so we knew our next project was going to take years. At the same time as I was working on Dinosaur 13, I had a couple of other space-related projects. One was a CNN short film called The Last Steps [about the Apollo 17 mission]. And we were working on another space-related documentary, but we needed to let the story play out, so it was going to take years. Doing that film, we needed to find the provenance of one particular moon rock collected on Apollo 17, the last mission to the moon. That gave us an entry into the archive system with NASA, the National Archives, and also I was introduced to archive producers and archivists.
In the time we were working on that film, CNN had approached us: "Hey, if you want to do any short, any idea you want, we'd be interested." And we came up with this idea to do Last Steps, just because we were exposed to this wonderful archive. The archive producer I was working with out of the U.K., Stephen Slater, had done all the synced sound stuff with 17. So, once we finished that, he goes, "Look, I've got a ton of stuff synced for 11." I initially said "No, I'm done with space because I've been doing it for a couple of years," but I looked at a lot of his stuff. After seeing some of the things that we could use to supplement his synced project, I realized that there hadn't been a major effort to rescan any of the original materials, whether they were ground based or space related, in more than a decade. That's how the project really started.

Léuli Eshraghi Tautai Artist in Residence 2015
A multilingual Sāmoan Persian artist, curator, researcher, and arts manager based in Melbourneis the recipient of Tautai Contemporary Pacific Arts Trust's 2015 Artist Residency.
Léuli Eshraghi's practice focuses on connection to place, indigeneity, cultural memory and erasure," says Tautai manager Christina Jeffery. "This work and Léuli's skills in curation and arts management, make him an ideal recipient for 2015's Tautai Artist In Residence," she says. "The five week [31/1-7/3/15] residency will provide Léuli and the artists he meets with fertile opportunities to share and discuss ideas and experiences. Léuli is looking forward to spending time with the wide range of Pacific artists living in Auckland. We have no doubt he will find his stay stimulating and thought provoking."
The Artist Residency is organised and sponsored by Tautai. The residency, offered to an artist outside New Zealand every two years, provides the artist with return airfares, accommodation and a stipend. The 'gift of time' gives the artist the opportunity to meet and interact with the local art community, as well as visit galleries, libraries and public institutions for research.
"I am excited by the opportunity to dedicate time, space and energy to reinforcing and making new relationships with people, works and spaces during the Tautai Trust Artist Residency," "Léuli says. "It is my way of contributing to strengthened ties between our arts ecologies in Tamaki Makaurau Auckland and Narrm Melbourne. I will be undertaking artistic and curatorial research to better frame, make, write and curate in a manner which is inclusive of decolonial queer, feminist, va, tapu, noa, multilingual, Native Oceanian/Indigenous Pacific perspectives and practices.
Léuli Eshraghi will discuss Islander Arts Practice in Australia with interdisciplinary artist Yuki Kihara on February 3, 2015, at 5.30pm at Art Station. This precedes the launch of Léuli Eshraghi's exhibition 'O la 'aitu laitiiti (We have always been here) – which runs at Art Station's Cell Block, Studio One Toi Tu from February 4 to 11.
Léuli Eshraghi's recent projects include investigations of sites of cultural memory and erasure in Oceania and Īrānzamīn, and examining notions of placemaking and the fluidity of spirituality and sexuality. His work details how customary mourning practices have been adapted to activate mana and multilingual plurality, to illuminate contemporary Oceanian and Middle Eastern aesthetics. Current projects include a visual commentary on displaced body sovereignty, indigeneity and masculinity – part of the Pacific Photobook Project, research into decolonising and indigenising curatorial practice, and developing MOTU, a new Islander Australian arts journal. Léuli Eshraghi holds specialist qualifications in Indigenous Arts Management (2012), French and Pacific Studies (2009), and French, Francophone, East Asian, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (2008). He is acultural advocate alongside Sustainable Dreaming, a board member of the Wantok Musik Foundation and of the Contemporary Pacific Arts Festival's Symposium Advisory, and of the Australian Association for Pacific Studies.
LéuliEshraghi will be available for interview during his stay, from 31 January to 7 March.

I had just turned 50 years old, weighed over 300 pounds, and was headed for trouble. It had been years since I had done anything that would be considered as healthy. After injuring myself I ended up in the hospital, where doctors discovered I had high blood pressure. It was time for a lifestyle change. I decided, like so many other people, my New Year's resolution was to eat right and get active.
It was January and it was cold. Not being a fan of cold weather I needed a warm place to walk, so I went to the mall early that January morning. Things did't go well! I could't walk a fourth of the way around the mall without having to take a seat and catch my breath. It was hard, but I kept going. Along with my daily walking routine, came better eating choices. I was making progress.
It didn't take long and I began to see results. My weight was down about 50 pounds and I was walking 6 miles a day. This gave me a boost in self esteem. Feeling much better about myself, I joined the Joplin Family Y. My new lifestyle was going well. Walking 6 six miles a day gave me the confidence to move to running. In February 2011 I enrolled in the Anyone Can Run class. My transition went pretty well. As you can imagine it was difficult in the beginning. My comfort with running increased with each class, and by April I was running with the group and training for my first 5k.
I remember the day started like any other, went to work and met my class after work for a run. We completed our 3 mile run and had made it back to the park. After returning to the park I got a bottle of water and that is the last moment I would recall for 7 days.
I had had a major heart attack. Luckily for me, a nurse from Mercy that was running with us began to perform CPR and 911 was called. This is the dispatch that went out to Metro Emergency Transport Service (METS), "Runner down, unconscious, not breathing, possible death." The METS ambulance arrived in approximately two minutes and took over CPR duties. They told me later they shocked me seven times between the park and the hospital! Once I arrive at the emergency room my status didn't improve. The ER doctor told my wife to get the family together because I probably would't live through the night. I was placed in a medically induced coma to keep me from moving around too much Around 3 am, I was taken to the cath lab where inserted three stents near my heart and a pump in my veins to keep my heart from working so hard. I was stabilized. Three days after the heart attack I had a triple bypass. The surgeon was pleased with the results. It took another three days for me to come out of the effects of the coma and the anesthesia. Monday morning came, the seventh day after my heart attack, and my wife came in the room I looked up at her, and asked "What happened?" She told me I had a heart attack!
Later in the day, the physical therapists began working with me. I asked what I had to do to get out of here. They pointed down what seemed like an endless hallway and told me I had to walk all the way to the end, go down and back up a set of stairs, and THEN I could go home! I told them to get out of the way - but it didn't happen as fast as I had hoped.I spent a total of 11 days in the hospital before I got to go home. Now I had to start getting in shape again. First I walked around the sofa. After that I walked down the driveway and back. Next it was back to the mall where it all started.
Five weeks after triple bypass surgery, I walked in the Armed Forces 5k with my Anyone Can Run class. They finished ahead of me, but came back out and walked me across the finish line. It was a great day and these people are still a special part of my life today. There was one more setback in my new life. The day after the Armed Forces 5k, May 22, 2011, Joplin was struck by an EF5 tornado that changed us forever. The city of Joplin recovered and I kept running and running.
Eventually I was hired by the Y as a running coach, and now coach the Anyone Can Run class. That just about proved that anyone can't run! I have now run in over 100 races - 4 full marathons, 15 half marathons, and many 5K's, 10K's, 25K's, a 200 mile relay, and many other distance races. I've been a pacer in the Joplin Memorial Run for the last couple of years. I love running and the people I run with have become very close. Joplin has the best running community anywhere! I love to see new runners and help people reach their goals, and I plan on running for many years to come. Now when I have my annual check up, I take and show him my latest marathon medaI. I feel God had other plans for me. I was given another chance at life, running, and helping other people.
First off, I plan to continuing coaching other runners. Helping others reach their goals and change their lives, is something I can relate personally to. As I continue down my running journey, my plan is to complete on e full marathon each year. My main plan for the future is to continue to take this second chance at life and life it to the fullest! I am truly blessed.

It was raining when we got up, in fact drizzle had refused visibility to only a couple of hundred yards. Our first stop would be Lanhydrock a fine property. We were there just 5 minutes before the house opened. The Americans described the volunteer the other side of the closed door a pit bull as no one would be allowed in before 1100 on the dot. I could not find my yellow token and was almost ejected by her until a third search of my pockets uncovered the golden ticket to freedom of the house.
I made the most of my 360 camera whilst walking around the rooms. One technique to avoid being in the picture was to hold the stick out into the room round a door way. We headed to the exit and I had a great pasta and pesto salad. Next stop was a chandler's at Par, to get some bits to make a new swivel bit for my camera strap. I got two bits that would help make something up.
Trerice is down some very narrow lanes but we made it with too many giving way events. The house is quite small so and we had been there before so we did not stay that long. The return journey to the main road, was a bit tedious as there were lots of cars coming the other way it took about 5 minutes of waiting before we got there. We stopped off at some promising shops on the way back for some supplies but they were all a bit disappointing, compared to the pictures available on google maps.
When we got back I went for a run which was a bit of an effort because unlike the map I planned it on it had a couple of very steep hills.


In this, the last of our first round of 'For Shame' films, we discuss the beloved film noir 'The Maltese Falcon'. While there's lots to love about the original, there's definitely lots that are tough to love, and things we had a rough time with, especially compared to our other For Shame picks so far. But, we're definitely happy we gave it a shot, and hope you enjoy the discussion. It's the, uh, stuff that dreams are made of, you see.

At the heart of the narrative of Why Be Happy are the intense and complex roles that mothers play in the lives of their daughters. Though Jeanette is at best full of pity and at worst full of hate for her abusive adoptive mother, Mrs. Winterson, she still feels a possessiveness over her: "She was a monster but she was my monster," Jeanette writes toward the end of the book, invoking their shared obsession with (and revulsion for) one another, and the grievous effects that obsession and revulsion had on each of them. As the adult Jeanette seeks out and connects with her birth mother, Ann S. she realizes that Ann is "someone [she doesn't] know at all"—someone who threw Jeanette from the "wreckage" of her own life without fully considering where Jeanette might land. Questions of love and hatred as well as abandonment and acceptance swirl around the mother-daughter relationships between Jeanette and her two mothers—in the end, Jeanette decides that forgiveness is the only thing that "redeems and unblocks" both the past and the future, and continues on her journey to forgive both of her mothers for the very different kinds of pain they inflicted on her.
The effects of all the pain Jeanette inherited from each of her mothers disrupted Jeanette's ability to love as an adult. Jeanette feared both that she would always be abandoned—an effect of Ann's having given her up—and that she would never be able to "make a home" with someone she loved—an effect of Mrs. Winterson's having made Jeanette's childhood home into an unsafe space on the days she was allowed in, and an impenetrable fortress on the days (and long nights) she was locked out in the street or the coal-hole. The journey of Why Be Happy is, in large part, Jeanette's journey toward learning how to "love well"—a journey which requires her to meditate deeply on both the possibilities and deficiencies of love, and to work through her past. Jeanette engages "creature" inside of herself—her younger self, a terrifying and terrified entity which has lurked inside Jeanette for years—in order to move closer to, understand, and overcome the traumas inflicted on her by Mrs. Winterson. Shortly after this journey of recovery, Jeanette begins tracking down her birth mother Ann, a process which again allows her to move closer to, understand, and then overcome and distance herself from Ann's own decisions.
Jeanette, in the end, is able to come to terms with Ann's decision to give her up for adoption, and, to a lesser but still meaningful degree, with Mrs. Winterson's cruelty. Ann's seemingly-reckless decision to hurl Jeanette from the "wreckage" is transformed from a choice that once seemed cruel into a choice that indicates care and love—though Jeanette remains to some degree "furious," she is "glad" that Ann made the choice she made. Mrs. Winterson's abuses and abominable actions are less easily forgiven, but Jeanette's admission that even if Mrs. Winterson was a monster, she was "my monster" reveals an admission that the "dark gifts" Mrs. Winterson gave her made her into who she is.

Adopted children are self-invented because we have to be; there is an absence, a void, a question mark at the very beginning of our lives. A crucial part of our story is gone, and violently, like a bomb in the womb. The feeling that something is missing never, ever leaves you—and it can't and it shouldn't, because something is missing.
Related Characters: Jeanette Winterson (speaker)
We were matched in our lost and losing. I had lost the warm safe place, however chaotic, of the first person I loved. I had lost my name and my identity. Adopted children are dislodged. My mother felt that the whole of life was a grand dislodgement. We both wanted to go Home.
When love is unreliable and you are a child, you assume that it is the nature of love—its quality—to be unreliable. Children do not find fault with their parents until later. In the beginning the love you get is the love that sets.

I don't know why [Mrs. Winterson] hated Accrington as much as she did but she did, and yet she didn't leave. When I left it was though I had relieved her and betrayed her all at once. She longed for me to be free and did everything she could to make sure it never happened.
I think Mrs. Winterson was afraid of happiness. Jesus was supposed to make you happy but he didn't, and if you were waiting for the Apocalypse that never came, you were bound to feel disappointed. She thought that happy meant bad/wrong/sinful. Or plain stupid. Unhappy seemed to have virtue attached to it.

We were not allowed books but we lived in a world of print. Mrs. Winterson wrote out exhortations and stuck them all over the house Under my coat peg a sign said THINK OF GOD NOT THE DOG. Over the gas oven, on a loaf wrapper, it said MAN SHALL NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE. Those who sat down [on the toilet] read HE SHALL MELT THY BOWELS LIKE WAX. When I went to school my mother put quotes from the Scriptures in my hockey boots. Cheery or depressing, it was all reading and reading was what I wanted to do. Fed words and shot with them, words became clues. Piece by piece I knew they would lead me somewhere else.
Were we endlessly ransacking the house, the two of us, looking for evidence of each other? I think we were—she, because I was fatally unknown to her, and she was afraid of me. Me, because I had no idea what was missing but felt the missing-ness of the missing. We circled each other, wary, abandoned, full of longing. We came close but not close enough and then we pushed each other away forever.
What would it have meant to be happy? What would it have meant if things had been bright, clear, good between us? It was never a question of biology or nature and nurture. I know now that we heal up through being loved, and through loving others. We don't heal by forming a secret society of one—by obsessing about the only other "one" we might admit, and being doomed to disappointment. It was a compulsive doctrine, and I carried it forward in my own life for a long time. It is of course the basis of romantic love—you + me against the world. A world where there are only two of us. A world that doesn't really exist, except that we are in it. And one of us will always fail the other.
Page Number and Citation: 119-120
Mother is our first love affair. And if we hate her, we take that rage with us into other lovers. And if we lose her, where do we find her again?
A few months later [the creature and I] were having our afternoon walk when I said something about how nobody had cuddled us when we were little. I said "us," not "you." She held my hand. She had never done that before; mainly she walked behind shooting her sentences. We both sat down and cried. I said: "We will learn how to love."
Happy endings are only a pause. There are three kids of big endings: Revenge. Tragedy. Forgiveness. Revenge and Tragedy often happen together. Forgiveness redeems the past. Forgiveness unblocks the future.
Coda Quotes
I am interested in nature/nurture. I notice that I hate Ann criticizing Mrs. Winterson. She was a monster but she was my monster.
