Lenny Cooke is a 2013 American sports documentary film directed by Josh and Benny Safdie. It tells the life of the former high school basketball player Lenny Cooke. The film had its world premiere at the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival on April 18, 2013. It was released in the United States in limited theaters on December 6, 2013.

Plot
In 2001, Lenny Cooke is one of the top ranked high school basketball players. He expects to be selected in the 2002 NBA draft, but goes unselected. After having played in a series of minor leagues, he quits basketball. He resides near Emporia, Virginia with his fiancée and his son.

Production
Adam Shopkorn, who set out to make a documentary film about a high school basketball player becoming the NBA player, followed Lenny Cooke around with several cinematographers in 2001. Subsequently, he lost touch with Cooke. In 2010, he went to a screening of Josh and Benny Safdie's film Daddy Longlegs and asked them to check the footage. The Safdies agreed to join the project and started filming Cooke, which lasted nearly three years. The film was shot by Josh and edited by Benny. The Safdies took inspiration from the film Hoop Dreams, as well as the filmmakers Albert and David Maysles, Frederick Wiseman, Ross McElwee, and Shirley Clarke.

In a 2013 interview with Complex, Cooke stated that he "enjoyed filming it." He added, "Got some good points in it, got some bad points in it, but that's life and I hope the next generation of student-athletes take heed to it."

Release
The film had its world premiere at the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival on April 18, 2013. It was released in the United States in limited theaters on December 6, 2013.

Reception
 On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 70 out of 100, based on 14 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".

Odie Henderson of RogerEbert.com gave the film 3 out of 4 stars, writing, "Until the last section, the Safdies do a great job selecting and editing footage that tells their story intelligently and passionately." Scott Foundas of Variety stated that "Despite the stop-and-go production history, the Safdies have created a seamless end product, even as it evolves from the crude analog video of the early scenes to the more polished HD look of later ones." Eric Kohn of IndieWire gave the film an A− grade, writing, "Despite the odd nature of the project, Cooke fits nicely within the stable of characters populating the directors' work." Ignatiy Vishnevetsky of The A.V. Club gave the film a B+ grade, commenting that "It shares with their fiction work a ragged visual sensibility, a bittersweet worldview, and a low-key, moment-to-moment approach to drama."

Is there an official standard and/or name for PEM certificate bundles?
This is a question that's not really about security proper. It's about security/crypto nomenclature. It's been bugging me a bit, so here goes:
I know two approaches for bundling related certificates/keys together:
Heavy weight approach: PFX. There is the PKCS #12 file format. Windows saves these as .PFX or .P12 files.
Light weight approach: Just-cat-everything (aka "PEM bundle"). Just running cat on all the certificates/keys (in your desired order) and redirecting this into a new text file.
Is there an actual standard for the "PEM bundle" approach? Is it even called that or is there a more official name? (Citation please!)
It was my impression that this is just the ad hoc way that OpenSSL used to handle bundle of certs/keys and it's been adopted as a de facto standard. Is this true? Or is the "just-cat-everything"-approach part of the PEM standards?
Nomenclature survey
What do people call these PEM bundle files?
StartSSL uses the term "bundle". They have a ca-bundle.pem file available for download.
DigiCert says "concatenated certificate container".
GoDaddy says "Bundle".
Comodo says "Bundle".
GlobalSign says "Bundle".
OpenSSL does not use the term "bundle" for a file where a certificate is stored with its associated chain and/or private key. (I've grepped the source for "bundle".)
They do however use the term "bundle" for the CA truststore.
Apache sort of calls this an "SSLCertificateChainFile".
RedHat says "ca-bundle".
cURL says "ca-bundle".
certificates openssl terminology pkcs12 pem
StackzOfZtuffStackzOfZtuff
There is no real standard for things in "PEM" format. There was a proposed standard called Privacy-enhanced Electronic Mail, from which the "PEM" acronym was derived; however, that standard never gained traction against its competition (PGP and S/MIME) and nobody implements it.
OpenSSL picked up PEM and "enhanced" the PEM format with extra functionalities and headers, without any actual specification or documentation worth that name, so that nowadays, "PEM" really means "whatever OpenSSL produces and can parse". Other vendors followed, e.g. Microsoft, whose software can decode PEM-encoded certificates.
The principle of PEM (Base64-encoded data, with a '-----BEGIN XXX-----' header and corresponding '-----END XXX-----' trailer) has been used for other things; PGP calls it "ASCII armor". The point of that way of doing things is to be able to locate the interesting data within a sequence of text data, regardless of the various tortures inflicted to that text as it is transferred (e.g. sent as e-mail, copy&pasted, included in a Word document, printed and scanned...). This is an important point: it means that the whole point of PEM is to be able to store the certificates together and haphazardly without having to follow a specific, precise standard. In that sense, a standard for a "PEM bundle" would be a self-contradiction: a "PEM bundle" is what you do when there is no standard.
It is not incorrect to call it a "de facto standard".
When you want to encode and send certificates, there are in fact more than two methods; possibilities include:
Encode each certificate separately, using ASN.1 DER encoding (which is standard).
Use PEM to further make these certificates more resilient to ASCII-based transfer; this also allows storing several of them in a single file (that which you call a "PEM bundle");
Store the certificates in a PKCS#7 (aka CMS) SignedData object. A SignedData is nominally a format for embedding data which is signed; but you can omit the data and include exactly zero signature, in which case you have some sort of shell that includes a field for embedding "extra certificates" (nominally, these certificates are there to help in validating the signatures). This is the reuse of an existing standard for something that the standard was not meant to do, but existing software does that. Microsoft calls that a "PKCS#7 certificate" or a "P7B file".
Use a PKCS#7 SignedData but also PEM-encode it (so you could conceptually store several of them in a single file).
PKCS#12 (also known as "PFX"). This format also allows storing other kind of objects, and includes provisions for password-based encryption, so it is commonly used to store a certificate and its private key. (Apparently, nobody ever thought of PEM-encoding a PKCS#12 archive.)
Private keys also have their own formats. For instance, PKCS#1 defines an ASN.1-based encoding for RSA private keys, that OpenSSL will gleefully use and then PEM-encode with a "BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY" header. That format may be further wrapped into a PKCS#8 object, which includes an ASN.1-based identifier for the algorithm, and also optional support of password-based encryption; and then, OpenSSL will also encode a PKCS#8 file, this time with "BEGIN PRIVATE KEY" or "BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY" (no indication of the algorithm in the PEM header), depending on whether password-based encryption was used or not. Alternatively, the raw PKCS#1 format may also be password-encrypted, using the extensions to PEM that OpenSSL implements but does not document (OpenSSL's source code being supposed to be the specification).
To sum up: it is a mess.
Thomas PorninThomas Pornin
I feared that much. But for practical purposes: what term you use if you need such a "cat-every-pen" file? Do you say "PEM bundle"?
– StackzOfZtuff
I would probably use a term relative to the meaning of the certificates, e.g. I would talk of "the server certificate chain", rather than using a term that describes how that chain is to be encoded.
– Thomas Pornin
But what if you need exactly that encoding?
tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7468 formalizes some of OpenSSL's PEM-style formats but not all; the second paragraph of the Introduction gives "concatenat[ing] several certificates to form a certificate chain" as an advantage of this format, but does not actually standardize (or name) that. In addition to PGP, 7468 also references the 'portable' SSH pubkey format in 4716 (but wrongly calls it OpenSSH, when actual OpenSSH does NOT use this format).

The British Chamber of Commerce is without doubt the most prestigious chamber in Thailand. Of course I write with complete impartiality as I am a British citizen myself.
The websiste of the British Chamber is a wealth of information. However they do like to keep their membership secret. Secret unless you are to join the chamber in which case the key to untold knowledge is yours for the taking. The Ultimate Thailand Contact Database contains most of the details of the members of The British Chamber and much much more.
The British Chamber has a very active membership spurred on by the secretariat who promote chamber breakfast meetings, chamber luncheons, chamber dinners and I am sure if given the chance chamber suppers. Regular network meetings and sponsored lectures and discussions give Bangkok Thais and expats chance to rub shoulders with 'True Blue Brits' and the ceme de la creme of the expatriate business community.
Joking aside The British Chamber should be given all credit for their charitable works that help the poor and underprivileged in Thailand. Vive La Chambre and God Save The Queen.
The British Community in Thailand Foundation for the Needy (BCTFN) will hold its traditional fund-raising event - Ploenchit Fair - for Thai charities at the BEC Tero Hall, Suan Lum Night Bazaar, Wireless Road on Saturday 18th November 2006.
The theme of Ploenchit Fair is a traditional British family fairground. More than 2,000 members of the British community voluntarily organise and run the 100 stalls and attractions. British companies and organisations, together with international "friends", donate goods and materials. The largest attendance was in 2000 when over 25,000 people visited the Fair, thus enabling BCTFN to allocate funds for projects to over 40 different charities throughout Thailand.
Today the Ploenchit Fair is arguably the biggest event on the British calendar and is known and admired throughout South East Asia. Given the continued need for funds on the part of the charities we support we hope you will be able to assist us by donating a major prize or prizes for the Grand Raffle that is organised by the British Chamber of Commerce Thailand (BCCT).
Prize donors will be listed in the programme which is given to all attending the Fair and major (top 10-12) prize donors are listed on the back of the more than 50,000 raffle tickets. Prizes and prize-winning numbers will be listed in the Bangkok Post and BCCT/Ploenchit Fair websites the week following the Fair.
We would like to have the tickets ready for distribution in the first week of September and therefore have a printing deadline of Monday 7th August 2006.

A US supreme court ruling issued Friday barred police from accessing cellphone records such as call listings and location data without first obtaining a search warrant, in a landmark decision in favor of privacy protections.
Advocates hailed the 5-4 ruling as a victory for personal privacy rights in an age when digital technology and the widespread use of mobile devices could create easy paths for law enforcement or other state bodies into the most intimate corners of private life.
"This is this most important fourth amendment ruling in recent memory, and plainly the most important decision of this term," wrote Bob Loeb, a former leader of the justice department's appellate division who has argued cases before the high court, on Twitter.
Cell phones are "papers and effects." The Supreme Court apparently agrees.
"Supreme court bans police access to phone records without a warrant." Tom McCarthy, TheGuardian.com, 2018-06-22.
Judge on NSA: "This court believes there are millions and millions of Americans whose constitutional rights have been and are being violated."


DETROIT (AP) — And the winner is ... Japan.
Japanese brands took the top seven spots in Consumer Reports' annual reliability rankings, pushing aside their U.S. and European rivals. Toyota Motor Corp.'s Scion, Lexus and Toyota brands took the top three spots and the Toyota Prius C, a subcompact hybrid, got the best overall score. Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura were close behind.
The rankings, released Monday, predict the reliability of 2013 model-year vehicles based on surveys of Consumer Reports' readers. This year, 800,000 people submitted information on 1.2 million vehicles from the 2010 to 2012 model years. The rankings are critical for auto companies, since Americans frequently cite Consumer Reports as a main source of car-buying advice.
Ford and Lincoln, once top performers, plummeted to the bottom of this year's rankings because of persistent problems with glitchy touch screens and bumpy transmissions. Ford was also hurt because three normally reliable models — the Ford Escape, Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ — are all new for 2013, so Consumer Reports couldn't predict their reliability.
"We listen closely and value feedback on our vehicles — whether it's from customers or third parties, such as Consumer Reports," Ford said in response to the rankings. "We remain absolutely committed to continuously improving and providing the highest-quality vehicles to our customers."
Also near the bottom were Chrysler Group's Chrysler, Dodge and Ram brands, which have been getting a fast makeover since partnering with Italy's Fiat three years ago. Consumer Reports says models with more features and more powerful engines, like the V-8 versions of the Chrysler 300 and Jeep Grand Cherokee — had the most issues.
The best-performing U.S. brand was Cadillac, from General Motors Co.
Volkswagen AG's luxury Audi brand made the biggest strides in this year's survey, climbing 18 spots to No. 8. It was the best-performing European brand. Glitch-free new models like the A7 sedan got high marks from Jake Fisher, Consumer Reports' director of automotive testing.
"They're out-BMWing BMW, easily, in terms of the driving dynamics," he said.
Electric cars also got impressive results. The all-electric Nissan Leaf was Nissan's best performer, partly because its electric motor has fewer parts than a gasoline engine, Fisher said. But the Chevrolet Volt — an extended-range electric car that has both an electric system and a conventional engine and transmission — also got the highest score of any GM vehicle.
"GM took a lot of painstaking time to develop that car," Fisher said.
The Volt was recalled earlier this year because vehicles crash-tested by the government showed a risk of fire when coolant leaked from the battery. But Consumer Reports' rankings don't reflect that, since the magazine only asks respondents to note issues that have happened on their own vehicles. Only vehicles with 100 or more responses are included. Among 2012 models, the magazine got the most responses for the Honda CR-V, with nearly 3,000.
Fisher said the magazine is getting about the same number of complaints as it did five years ago. But issues with electronics, audio and touch-screen systems have increased while complaints about mechanical problems are down.


GU Energy Labs is proud to be the Official Nutrition Partner of the Daman World Triathlon Abu Dhabi. Our GU Energy Gels will be available to help power you up to the finish line. Before you start the race, here is some advice from our GU Nutrition specialists.
Planning what to eat during a race can be overwhelming. With so many variables, it's hard to determine what the "right" answer is for you. When deciding what to eat and drink, we think it's helpful to break it down by looking at the nutrients your body needs. A successful nutrition plan takes into account the amount of calories your system can handle in an hour, and it should also factor in your body's need for electrolytes, amino acids, water, and protein.
When thinking about your nutritional need for a race or training session, it's important to remember that everyone is different and every day is different. For example, body size, air temperature, activity type, intensity, and personal preference will all GU sports nutritional products are designed to provide athletes with the necessary carbohydrate, electrolyte and amino acid requirements to fuel their endurance exercise endeavors. That's why GU has products are designed to be mixed and matched and can be planned using the GU Nutrition Planner online HERE.
The products are developed to supplement the body's ability to provide glycogen which the muscles use as energy to sustain workouts, both at intensity and for long exercises. The addition of electrolytes provides a convenient source of salts and minerals to replenish those key electrolytes lost through sweat.
For sustained energy consume one packet of GU every 35-45 minutes during exercise, washing it down with a few mouthfuls of water or GU Electrolyte Brew to speed absorption.

Ontario supports significant aerospace investment to boost regional economy
MISSISSAUGA, Canada — The Ontario government is supporting a $21.4 million investment by Cyclone Manufacturing, a leading supplier of aerospace components and sub-assemblies with manufacturing facilities in Mississauga and Milton. This investment will strengthen Ontario's advanced manufacturing sector and further grow the province's economy.

CARICOM must exploit natural gas resources for energy security, says President Ali
Last month during the Farnborough International Airshow, the government announced a $1.5 million investment in Cyclone through the Advanced Manufacturing and Innovation Competitiveness stream of Ontario's regional development program. This funding will help Cyclone invest in new technologies that will enable it to undertake process work that is currently done outside of Canada. By bringing this work to Ontario, Cyclone will be able to create 60 new jobs and upskill 100 employees at its Ontario facilities.
Vic Fedeli, minister of economic development, job creation and trade visited the Mississauga facility today to discuss the impact of this investment on families and workers in the local community.
"Cyclone is a key supplier in Ontario's aerospace ecosystem that our government is proud to support," said minister Fedeli. "With more global aerospace giants expanding to Ontario, we'll continue to grow and strengthen our aerospace manufacturing across the province. We will continue to create the right conditions for businesses to innovate, grow and attract investments that are creating well-paying jobs and building a better future for all people in Ontario."
Cyclone Manufacturing Incorporated is a provider of complex aerostructures and structural assemblies for major aerospace companies around the world.
"Cyclone's partnership with the government of Ontario comes with a strong commitment from our company to increase employment, advance innovation and remain a global leader in aerospace manufacturing," said Robert Sochaj, Cyclone's vice president.
"We are grateful to minister Fedeli and the ministry of economic development, job creation and trade for their dedication to Ontario's aerospace sector and the thousands of people it employs across this province."
Aerospace is a key component of Ontario's advanced manufacturing sector. It directly employs more than 21,500 people across more than 200 companies, and an additional 17,200 indirectly. Ontario's aerospace industry is the second largest in Canada, representing close to a quarter of all Canadian activity. The province is home to a globally renowned landing-gear cluster, as well as major global aerospace companies.
"This critical investment will solidify Mississauga's role as a major centre for our aerospace manufacturing sector and create good jobs right in the heart of our community. We're delivering on our promise to the people to rebuild our economy and bring back good manufacturing jobs for our workers," Kaleed Rasheed MPP Mississauga East – Cooksville and minister of public and business service delivery.

I think you are off to a great start! If you'd like to visit another park again, I would plan on that being Epcot. It is a very large park that is not easy to experience in one day. Another option would be to leave that last park day 'open', and after visiting the other parks, decide which one your family loves and MUST return to on another day. Everyone has their own favorites! We really love Animal Kingdom and could easily spend several days in that park alone, even though attraction-wise it is the least populated.
I hope you have a great vacation!

I saw my first 2019 release today: Escape Room. I've heard a lot about escape rooms over the last few years, though I haven't been to one myself. What if someone created a special escape room that killed the people who couldn't make it out in time? I enjoyed the movie. It reminded me a lot of Cube, which was about an assortment of characters stuck in a giant cube, having to move from room to room before getting killed in some horrible way. Okay, that's pretty much the same idea exactly.
What if someone created a special escape room that killed the people who couldn't make it out in time?
Oh, my goodness, that's horrible!
I did an Escape Room with my best friend, who was visiting me, about a year ago. We chose what they told us was the most difficult room, and made it out! We heard a lot of people don't make it all the way to the end because they run out of time before they solve all the puzzles needed to escape. It's definitely something you want to do with a friend, preferably a smart one, who has a different skill set than you do. I doubt that I could have made it out on my own. It was a good time!
I think this may have gotten released Stateside last year but only just opened here..
I was so scared this film might fail.. I'm a huge fan of Laurel & Hardy and grew up with their films on tv, still watch them to this day.
out of your mind and accept the performances, it does happen but quite rare I think..
In Stan & Ollie it most definitely does happen. Both Steve Coogan and John C Reilly are both absolutely superb as Laurel & Hardy..
This film mainly takes place during their last ever tour together (with a couple of flashbacks to their prime years) in the UK 1953. Their film career long in the past and now live performance is their only means of income.. They find themselves embarking on a long, hard tour of UK theatres to dwindling crowds, their fame on the decline and Ollie's health not too good..
I absolutely loved this film. Within minutes I was totally buying into the characters and was absorbed in their story.. some of it very funny and some of it very sad..
Basically a love story between two men whos lives and careers had been entined for over 30 years..and now coming to an end.. Also superb performances by Shirley Henderson and Nina Arianda as the boys wives who join them on tour and do their best to support their husbands..
Another nice touch was the audience breaking out into spontaneous applause as the end crdits rolled. I can't remember the last time that happened..
Reilly really should get an Oscar nomination if theres any justice..
I want to see Stan and Ollie. It did open at least in limited release in the US last month. I'll probably have to look to rent it in a few months.
But back when I first saw Split two years ago I hadn't seen Unbreakable. I liked Split a lot and I'd been at least kind of interested in Unbreakable over the years. When I saw that one, it instantly became my favorite Shyamalan movie. Glass is the movie that brings those two films together. It's a very engaging, good movie. I wasn't sure what to expect. I'd been looking forward to it, but at the same time the trailer didn't make me really anticipate it. I would place it a little under Split in terms of quality.
Best movie of the season -the Mule excluded ofcourse -.
And like The Mule ... it got exactly zero Oscar nominations.
Recently I've seen The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part and Cold Pursuit. I'd recommend both, but maybe not as a double feature.
Cold Pursuit is one of my favorite Liam Neeson movies. It's darkly humorous and very violent. As the end credits started to roll I thought how I wouldn't mind going to see it again sometime here. And in the credits I noticed the name Emmy Rossum, which is a name I recognized because of Mystic River.
I saw the original Norwegian film a few years back, starring the excellent Swedish actor Stellan Skarsgård. The Norwegian title was the rather lame Kraftidioten (meaning something like Super Idiot), but the English release title was the much cleverer In Order of Disappearance.
From what I recall of the Norwegian film, Neeson is an excellent choice to play the "disappearer."
I didn't know it was based on another movie until the end credits. I'd definitely check out the original.
Totally enjoyed this move along with the fantastic performances by Melissa McCarthy and Richard E Grant..
This one was great. Really liked its dark humour most of all. Got to search for the original.
2019 is starting out as a good year for movies. I saw Cold Pursuit last Monday and went to Happy Death Day 2U today. I thought the first Happy Death Day was great but wasn't really sure where they could go with it for a sequel. It was great fun. Hilarious too. The star Jessica Rothe is impressive, being able to do the more dramatic stuff along with the comedic in the same film.
One of my childhood favorites. This is a good movie, very fun.
I want to get to Shazam soon. It looks fun.
I don't know the actor playing Shazam but when I see the posters, I keep seeing Greg Brady!!

There are 100 top-rated transmission shops in your area and 132 to avoid.
Business Description: we are a one-stop shop and we will tow you vehicle for free to our shop!!! We are a family owned and operated business that puts personalization into every job that comes in our door. We honor every insurance estimate, and give rebates on jobs. Also, we sell vehicles. We only sell high quality vehicles, and we give a warranty too!
They are great. I just love them. I would highly recommend them. They are just so honest. I have been going to them for years. My son had a car that kept on stalling out and he went on a business trip. So, I had the car. I took it in to them. They worked on it for a week. They took it to other places. They could not figure out what was going on. So, they said they were done because they could not fix it. They are a wonderful company all around. I think their price is good. Their responsiveness is excellent. It was probably six weeks ago and I called them up because the engine light came on. They told me to take it right in and I brought it right in. They fixed it and did not charge me anything.
My wife drove from Annapolis, MD to Eastern NC in the VW Golf to visit our son and his family (a 400 mile one way trip).
When she departed our son's house several days later, the transmission in the Golf did not want to shift properly.
My wife left the car at out son's home and returned home to Annapolis, MD via Amtrak.
There were no automobile repair shops in the vicinity of my son's home in Eastern NC that were VW proficient.
I began a Google search for auto/transmission repair facilities to the West of my son's home, and settled on the Raleigh area as the most likely location for foreign car experience.
I made a number of calls, and when I had a conversation with Todd Goodman, owner and operator of Affordable Transmission and Auto Repair Center, located at 2900 Capital Blvd, Raleigh, NC, I felt mostly OK. How does one know about a shop you have never dealt with before, located 400 miles from home?
Bottom line: An exceptional experience from beginning to end; price was competitive, Mr Goodman was (is) very knowledgeable, and made every effort to make my experience with his shop A+. And it was. One of the best automobile repair experiences I have ever gone through, and due to Mr. Todd Goodman and his exceptional shop! The VW Golf TDI is now running exactly as it was engineered to perform. SWEET!
The transmission started to be hard to shift, then wouldn't shift at all. Trying to diagnosis it my self, I saw that the shifting fork was barely moving. I surmised it was the Slave Cylinder. Replaced it, but the shifting fork still was not moving enough. Replaced the Clutch Master Cylinder, Fork is moving ok but Transmission was still hard to shift. Called GB Transmission, They came out the next morning and towed it to their shop. They inspected it and found the clutch disc had worn out and was in pieces. They replaced it, and the bill was $22.00 under the estimate. Great service!

We are located right by the popular, sandy, sheltered beach of Kalamaki, an ideal beach for children, which borders the well-known beach of Agioi Apostoloi, and marks the end of a large bay, located at 5.3 kilometers to the west of the center of Chania.
Going to the Kalamaki beach is just a 3-minute walk (100 meters), while, alternatively, you can enjoy a more private swim in the hotel's small cove. Because of the rock formations that slightly hinder the access to the water, we have built a nice wooden pier, literally over the sea.
The bus service in the area is very regular (every 15-20 minutes; in a prominent place in the hotel you will find a full timetable of the local buses and their stops) and enables you to visit the historic and commercial center of the city of Chania up to late at night.
Corinna Mare hotel is situated in a key location: 5km to the west of the impressive Venetian port and the center of Chania, at the foot of the hill where the historic village of Galatas is located, and between two more villages (Daratsos, Stalos) which put in a traditional and colorful, local tone.
For those who enjoy hiking, our hotel could be the starting point for many wonderful routes on the coast, as well as in the inland of the region, where the olive groves and the citrus trees alternate in colors and aromas.
With our hotel as your "center of operations" you can explore whatever your taste for life desires: stunning exotic beaches (Balos, Falassarna, Elafonissi), traditional mountain villages, monasteries and historic monuments, all within a distance that may vary from a fifteen minute to an hour and a half drive.
For those who lack such an active spirit, you can simply "position" yourselves comfortably poolside, and "travel", live any adventure your imagination chooses, daydreaming, with a sea view that is a wondrous adventure in itself.

Jean, René, Marcel Franckson, né le  à Bruxelles et mort  dans cette même ville est docteur en médecine et chercheur.

Membre de la Résistance intérieure belge, il est professeur à la Faculté de médecine de l'Université libre de Bruxelles, président de l'Union professionnelle des médecins des hôpitaux universitaires de Bruxelles.

Milieu familial

Jean, René, Marcel Franckson dit Butch, Ulysse puis Martial est né à Bruxelles le . Il est le second fils d'une famille liégeoise dont le père, Marcel Franckson, occupe en 1940 le poste d'ingénieur en chef à la SNCB. Ses amis, sa famille et ses connaissances utilisaient le prénom de Marcel.

Le père, défenseur des grandes valeurs de l'humanisme et de la démocratie, s'engagea en résistance contre l'occupant nazi et ses fils le suivirent.

La Résistance

Le Comité de surveillance de l'ULB et la résistance à Bruxelles

Entré en 1939, à 17 ans, en  candidature de médecine à l'ULB, J.R. Marcel Franckson y fait partie du groupe d'étudiants de diverses facultés qui fondent en  le « Comité de surveillance ». La fermeture de l'université en  conforte son option en faveur d'une action directe contre l'occupant. Il s'attelle désormais à la sélection parmi ses compagnons de ceux qu'il estime prêts à l'action clandestine.

Leurs activités principales consistent à distribuer des tracts anti-allemands et à publier un journal de propagande clandestin comme Ça ira! Les Nazis à la lanterne. Après la fermeture de l'ULB, le Comité de surveillance, compte une centaine de membres et s'organise suivant six zones géographiques : Laeken, Jette, Anderlecht, Ixelles, Auderghem et Uccle. Les activistes s'engagent dans la lutte armée et signent leurs premiers sabotages en . Marcel Dumonceau dirige les secteurs situés au sud du canal (Ixelles, Uccle et Auderghem) tandis que Martial est chargé des secteurs nord (Laeken, Jette et Anderlecht). Une de leurs activités récurrentes vise les véhicules allemands stationnés dans les Hauptkraftfahrenpark (parc automobile militaire). Ils montent également d'audacieuses opérations pour nourrir les personnes vivant dans la clandestinité. Grâce aux renseignements fournis par des fonctionnaires patriotes, ils braquent en , une ambulance transportant les timbres de ravitaillement d'Etterbeek et répètent l'opération à Ixelles au mois de juin .

Martial est dénoncé et pourchassé par l'occupant; il doit entrer en clandestinité en . Étant inscrit en médecine à l'UCL, une couverture qui lui permet d'échapper au Travail Obligatoire, les Allemands le traquent sur le campus de l'Université de Louvain. Portant chapeaux et longs manteaux noirs, deux agents de la Gestapo interrompent le cours de physiologie pour le rechercher. Ils ont vérifié tous les papiers d'identité, mais le principal intéressé n'est heureusement pas présent.

Le maquis des Ardennes

Pourtant, la répression se fait de plus en plus forte et le bouclage de la capitale toujours plus sévère, le groupe Franckson doit quitter Bruxelles durant l'été 1943, pour s'implanter dans les Ardennes.

Il a 20 ans. Tous ceux qu'il recrute sont frappés par son esprit aiguisé et la force tranquille qui émane de lui. Sa chaleur humaine et sa bonhomie cachent mal la réflexion toujours en éveil d'un analyste redoutable. Son périple le conduit en 1942 et 1943 avec ses premiers compagnons à travers une difficile guérilla citadine vers l'édification de maquis en Haute-Ardenne et ensuite en divers sites forestiers de Thiérache. De ces camps en forêt il mènera avec son groupe une lutte armée savamment organisée et impitoyable .

Le SOE et le Groupe Hotton

En 1943, le Special Operations Executive (SOE), organise une mission de sabotage à grande échelle qui reçut le nom de code Hotton. Le but de cette mission, confiée à la Résistance belge, est de détruire les voies de communication et de télécommunication utilisées par les Allemands afin de faciliter l'avance des troupes alliées après le débarquement. L'équipée de Martial est sollicitée et devient le groupe D du Service de Sabotage Hotton chargé du district Chimay-Couvain.

À l'annonce de l'approche des troupes alliées, le groupe D sabote les locomotives des trains reliant Chimay et la Meuse. Une seconde opération fructueuse permet la coupure des câbles de télécommunication reliant Berlin, Reims et Paris.

Son père, chef de la Région II du Service Hotton est arrêté le . Cela le prive d'un conseiller sûr et c'est donc seul qu'à 22 ans Martial se charge de la responsabilité de diriger un réseau comprenant entre 130 et 250 personnes .

Pendant toutes ces années, Martial organise avec méthode le financement, l'armement, le charroi, la sécurité et la formation à la guérilla .

L'objectif général assigné par le SOE est de détruire les télécommunications de l'ennemi et de bloquer le trafic ferroviaire. La mise en œuvre de cet objectif et la tactique sont à l'appréciation du réseau. D'autres actions sont mises en œuvre, telles que les attaques de convois routiers et l'élimination d'agents ennemis ou au service de l'ennemi.

Pendant toutes ces années aussi, Martial sera un des hommes les plus recherchés par toutes les polices allemandes depuis la Belgique jusqu'aux frontières espagnoles .

Le , sans avoir jamais effectué de service militaire, il fut commissionné au grade de Lieutenant de complément et affecté à l'État-major des Troupes de l'Intérieur de Namur.

Distinctions honorifiques

La longue lutte entreprise dès 1940 par Martial et ses compagnons et en particulier les résultats spectaculaires obtenus par le Groupe D du Service de Sabotage Hotton ont été vivement appréciés après la Libération par les autorités belges et tout spécialement par les représentants du SOE. Parmi les nombreuses distinctions honorifiques qui lui furent décernées en reconnaissance de ses remarquables états de service figurent :
 La commanderie de l'Ordre de Léopold II avec palme.
 La croix de guerre avec palme.
 La King's Medal for Courage in the Cause of Freedom.
Il avait alors 23 ans.

Le chroniqueur

Jusqu'à un âge avancé (plus de 90 ans), Martial contribua à la connaissance de l'histoire de la Résistance au travers de nombreuses publications, d'interviews et de participations à des émissions télévisées et des films .

Il fut cité dans plusieurs ouvrages concernant la résistance .

Il contribua aussi à la conception et à la mise en œuvre du site mémoriel et historique de Brûly-de-Pesche 1940.
La plupart des archives du groupe D du Service de Sabotage Hotton sont gérées par le Centre d'études guerre et société.

La médecine

En 1945, J.R. Marcel Franckson reprit ses études médicales qu'il compléta par une spécialisation en médecine interne.

Le chercheur

C'est au Laboratoire de médecine expérimentale qu'il commença sa carrière en menant des travaux en endocrinologie clinique et en diabétologie, contribuant à la visibilité internationale du Laboratoire et à la mise en place de l' Association européenne pour l'étude du diabète. Il fut l'auteur ou co-auteur de plus de 120 publications.

Le professeur et le manager

Après sa carrière de chercheur en endocrinologie de l'ULB, il fut appelé en 1967 à la direction du Laboratoire de Chimie clinique de Hôpital Saint-Pierre (centre hospitalier universitaire) où il joua un rôle décisif  dans la modernisation de ce laboratoire.

Il assuma aussi l'enseignement de cette discipline comme Professeur à la Faculté de Médecine de l'Université Libre de Bruxelles.

Parallèlement à ces fonctions, il fut président de l'UPMHB (Union Professionnelle de Médecins de Hôpitaux Universitaires de Bruxelles) de 1972 à 1982.

Il fut auprès de l'INAMI (Institut national d'assurance maladie-invalidité) et du Ministère de la Santé conseiller pour une meilleure gestion des hôpitaux publics.

Sa générosité et la chaleur de son enthousiasme humain étaient des qualités mises en avant par ses collègues, à côté de ses compétences scientifiques, cliniques, didactiques et de gestion .

Traveler Patches | Bringing the Father's Heart to the Fatherless.
Denver's weather had finally taken a break from the pesky snow storms when the two girls stepped in perfect unison came coming down the alley. One named Melissa aka "Lever Pusher" had long black hair that twisted down towards her soft lower back. Her long locks fell delicately over her blue jean vest that was decorated with a plethora of beautifully crafted and colorful patches. One being a Sox Place patch.
"Every new traveler I meet I tell them to go to Sox Place. I wear my patch just so people will ask me about it. I always tell them they have to drop by to get the full effect," said Melissa.
Sox Place is a popular landing place for many travelers that find themselves making a stop in Denver and word has spread like wildfire through the traveling community who are often in need of a warm meal, some clean socks, and some extra TLC for their four legged companions. Hearing about us through another fellow traveler, Melissa was intrigued about this so called Sox Place.
"Curiosity got the best of me. I had to come check it out," said Melissa. "I had no shoes or socks. I was hungry and in need of several things. Sox helped me with everything I needed including getting my animals vaccinated and helping me with a crew change. Things I didn't even expect to get help with. Every new traveler I meet I tell them to go to Sox Place," Melissa explained.
Sox Place is a bit unique in that we receive zero aid from government grants. And many of our financial supporters and donors and our everyday community have never even met face to face. But it's not difficult for our traveler friends and street youth to feel the impact of when our supporters and friends give to us.
"I honestly don't know where I would be without you guys. I'm super grateful to all the people at Sox and every one who donates there," said Melissa.
As those summer months are close around the corner we will see a spike in travelers and pets coming through and we are going to need our donors help to keep our doors open so that we can keep bellies fed and feet covered with fresh socks.


While the wings are baking, in a small saucepan, combine the hot sauce, butter, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and celery seed. Cook, while stirring, over medium heat until the butter has completely melted and the sauce is hot. Set it aside.


To promote growth and deter mold and pests such as fungus gnats, it is sometimes necessary to trim and remove dead or dying leaves from your plant. This helps the plant send energy to the healthiest leaves, as yellow and brown crispy leaves will not turn green again.
Follow this step-by-step guide from Plant Mom to learn how to properly trim and clean your plants!
Gather your supplies. You'll need a pair of sharp scissors or pruning shears.
Locate all yellowing or brown crispy leaves. Gently remove any fallen leaves from the soil, as they can attract pests and create an environment for mold to thrive.
If bacteria or leaf spot disease is suspected, wipe the blades of your sharp scissors or pruning shears with rubbing alcohol between each snip. If you are just removing brown crispy leaves due to aging, lack of moisture, or sunburn spots; moisten the blades with water before cutting–this will help prevent healthy tissue damage.
Cut the leaves that are entirely brown or yellow at the base – near the stem or at the soil. Be sure not to tug the leaves, as this can damage healthy parts of the plant.
For brown or yellowing leaf tips, remove just the affected edge or spots.
Be careful not to remove more than 20% of the entire plant while pruning. You may need to prune in stages to avoid removing too many leaves at once.
Now that your plant is looking fresh after its haircut, give it a little misting and a good drink if the soil is dry and it will be thriving again in no time!

Review: Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Sony PlayStation 4)
Review by Matt S.
There are two ways that a creative person - or group of creative people - can take an existing, beloved franchise, and put a new spin on it; the first is to approach the material with real respect, take the time to really understand what the original artist meant (or likely meant) in their work, and create something new that still respects that.
Say what you will about the Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings films, but I don't think anyone would ever argue that Jackson did not fundamentally care about the material. He clearly read the book over, and over again, pouring over every sentence and scene, in order to structure his own series of films to reflect both his own sense of creativity, and represent real respect for Tolkien's work.
The other way you can take a beloved work of art and put your own spin on it is to ignore everything that the original artist intended, and indeed rework the material to be the exact opposite of what was intended. From there you spit something out the other end of the creative process that will probably make bucket loads of money off the back of the license, but fails to demonstrate to the source material any respect whatsoever.
Middle-earth: Shadow of War is the latter, and the complete disrespect it shows Tolkien's work is apparent within the first couple of minutes where our hero - a male who looks like a nondescript extra from the film set, and who has been killed by Sauron's forces but resurrected with a thirst for vengeance, runs into Shelob. Not only is it weird that they have a downright civil conversation (Tolkien's Shelob isn't exactly civil, nor inclined to talk), and not only is it odd that Shelob takes sides (again, never Tolkien's intent), but in Shadow of War Shelob is actually a very sexy spider lady - black hair, legs that go on for days, and spiders running up and down her in the most sensuous way imaginable. Now, far be it for me of all people to criticise 1) sexiness in games and specifically 2) fetishistic sexiness in games, but I've read Lord of the Rings a dozen times or more myself, and fantasy literature doesn't get more sexless than it.
Tolkien's style of writing - dry and academic - was mesmerising for the way he depicted lore, language and put a modern twist on the epic genre; the tales of Beowulf and similar. These were things that appealed to him as an academic, and those were the things he focused on in his own writing. He was clearly uncomfortable with writing around sexuality, and the few female characters that were in the book - including Shelob - were effectively sexless. They joined the men on the battlefields. They manipulated, or led nations and helped, or hindered, Frodo and the other heroes in the novel as the men did. They didn't slink around in a sexy, leggy, black dress because Tolkien figured it would help sell copies of the book.
The interaction with Shelob gets Shadow of War off to a really poor start. It's not the only place that the game trashes over everything I know and love about Lord of the Rings, and the game never demonstrates that it truly understands the core themes of the book, but it's the most immediate example of it. If anything, things get worse in the way the Balrog is treated when he shows up (though thankfully, at least he's not reimagined as one of the Manpower performers). As a result, the game feels openly hostile to Tolkien's original vision, and even if you can push past the visual faux pas, it's still offering a narrative that shows less understanding of the base material than something you'd find on fanfiction.net where people probably do ship Frodo and Shelob together (I wouldn't know for sure, because no one sane actually goes to fanfiction.net). There are moments where things seem like they might improve; for example, after that first encounter with Shelob our hero joins the fight to help a ragged Gondorian outpost repel an Orcish invasion force. Here, at least, the developers have paid attention to the Lord of the Rings films and have got the architecture and general tone of the environments right. But the writing never quite gets there, there's too much retconning of Lord of the Rings lore, and the plot has massive holes that Tolkien would never have left.
The gameplay is, if anything, more confused than the narrative. I have a deep dissatisfaction with open world games, and it only gets deeper with every one of them I play. The issue I have with them is that the open world stuff is almost never actually needed, and these games would be far better off as far briefer, more linear experiences. Shadow of War is at its best when you're in a linear quest, following a specific set of objectives within a small area. Under those circumstances the game's Assassin's Creed-inspired stealth system is exciting and intense. Levels are designed beautifully to give players the opportunity to be creative with how they approach challenges and objectives.
And it's in the missions where the combat set pieces happen, and they're by far the most intense and exciting part of the game. Mowing through hordes of orcs while deftly parrying their attacks, and sliding under the legs of a rampaging troll to fell him from behind feels every bit as cinematic as the finest moments in the film trilogy's battle scenes. But between these missions and set pieces is yet another overly large open world in a videogame, with endless icons to track down. Icons representing "treasures" to track down and key targets to take out. Icons that are, ultimately, designed to pad out the length of the game, barely add anything to the narrative or character of the experience, and yet at the same time disrupting the flow of the main narrative by inserting large gaps into it. Another good example from early on; you'll fight a desperate action to keep the orcs from breaking into the inner keep of this Gondorian fort. After doing so, you're let loose to explore the city. You can then spend hours chasing down every icon on the game's map, and not once again will the orcs attack the inner fort, despite swarming all around it, and it being all-but destroyed... that is, until you finally go and activate the next mission. By that time, the illusion of being a part of the defence of a city that is all but destroyed is completely ruined.
This is a problem common to all open world games, and I really wish developers would stop defaulting to open world game design unless it was absolutely necessary from a narrative and thematic perspective. I tolerate it (though still find it largely unnecessary) with the rare few open world games, such as Assassin's Creed, because I play those games for the history and the time period, and to an extent an open world does make sense there in letting me explore a historical city or location that I find interesting. But as I already outlined above, I'm in no way engaged with the world of Shadow of War, so exploring it was nothing but a chore.
Shadow of War does attempt to justify its open world with its much-publicised Nemesis system, which in fairness is an enhancement on what we saw in the game's predecessor. There are more ways to go about taking down marks, and there's some momentary fun involved with firstly tracking down where these monsters are hiding, then figuring out a way to exploit their weakness, and then cruising in for the easy kill.
But this too ends up being arbitrary after a couple of successful hunts, and part of the issue is that it runs counter to the sense of freedom that the game so desperately wants you to believe you have otherwise. If you don't target the specific weaknesses of a particular target, then the only other option is to wade in for a tough - but ultimately standard - 'boss' fight. Or to put it another way, with these nemesis battles, the game's idea of "rewarding" you for doing something clever and against the grain is to punish you. Spend an hour slowly inching your way into a position to do an aerial stealth kill on one of these monsters that the game clearly didn't plan on you doing? Jokes on you if that's not one of their weaknesses, because it's all-or-nothing with these things, and you'll get no benefit from playing so well. Instead, the orc will instantly deflect your attack and then you'll be swamped by a horde of his allies. The same goes for the capture of fortresses and the raising (and use) of your army. There's always the sense that there's only ever one right way to do these things.
So you might be able to take down these leader orcs in a couple of different ways, but it's highly restrictive and, ultimately, lacking in creativity. Artificiality in the gameplay itself is a real issue that has crept into far too much of blockbuster game design. Game developers are so focused on getting you to play the game the way they want to, so you can be impressed with their smoke-and-mirrors tricks dressed up as "features", that these games are no longer consistent in how they play. And, again, inconsistency tends to break with immersion.
There's also some genuine appeal in dominating Sauron's forces and bending them to your will, making an orc army of sorts of your own. This feature is new to the game, and it's probably the highlight of the whole thing, as it introduces a touch of resource management into the experience, and it's enjoyable to watch the scale of battles play out when you bring your dominated forces to bear in taking on the forces of Sauron. The downside to doing this is that the developers decided to give the orcs you can dominate a sense of personality, and too many of them try too hard to be funny. A bit of comedic relief always helps a narrative, and I laughed the first time one of my orcs broke out into song as he waded into battle, but this game's lost sight of the abject evil that Tolkien's orcs were actually meant to represent.
Finally, don't even get me started on the way the game has hamfisted loot drops, loot boxes, and all other manner of "make players play forever" nonsense into the game. Shadow of War isn't convincing as a Diablo clone, so I don't know why the developer ever thought that throwing an endless stream of shiny weapons at the player would resonate. The skills tree is laughably simple, too; Witcher 3 this game is not. If you're going to build RPG mechanics into your game, do it properly, and do it because it's an important part of your game, and not just because experience levels and new loot tend to keep people playing (and thus more likely to spend money).
Shadow of War looks gorgeous, as you would expect a AAA-blockbuster to do. It plays incredibly smoothly, and as far as open world games go, this one's relatively bug free. This is all to be expected for a game with this kind of budget, and doesn't really warrant a comment in the context of a review. But the whole experience feels so utterly soulless it's hard to really care about any of it. It feels like a game that has been carefully pieced together with every feature, bit of narrative and gameplay moment structured out of commercial desire, rather than any love or respect for the Lord of the Rings franchise. And as far as I'm concerned, for a game that's quite explicitly a Lord of the Rings game, that's a fail.

Dia Dipasupil/Getty ImagesWith the U.S. midterm elections scheduled to take place on Tuesday, and in the wake of the deadly shootings at a Pittsburgh-area synagogue last weekend, Paul McCartney has taken to social media to share his opinion about the issue of gun control.
The pic was taken last March when the couple took part in the March for Our Lives rally in support of gun control in New York City. That event brought McCartney close to the Dakota building, where his former Beatles band mate John Lennon lived and was shot to death by a deranged fan in December 1980.
In other news, McCartney launched a brief series of Japanese concerts on Wednesday with a show at the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo. Sir Paul posted a photo on his social media pages showing him and his backing band wearing masks onstage at the concert in celebration of Halloween.
McCartney's Freshen Up Tour in support of his new album, Egypt Station, continues Thursday with a second concert at the Tokyo Dome.


Special Optics supports the complete production and assembly of prototypes and OEM systems. The entire process of lens manufacture, from rough grinding through polishing, edging and coating, is completed in-house. During the process, we closely monitor all phases of production allowing us to maintain precision tolerances in wavefront, thickness and surface quality. Our experienced team of fabricators and polishers work with a great majority of glass and crystal materials used in the optics industry.
We start with raw bulk glass which is cut and coredrilled to the appropriate diameter. Next the lens radius is cut into the surface using standard industry generators. Two grinding steps follow, first a rough 20 micron grit followed by a 9 micron grit fine grind. The lenses are now ready for polishing. Once blocking and polishing is accomplished, a final edging step is applied to bring the lens into final diameter and then correct any decentration or wedge between the lens surfaces.

An interesting concept deserving of twice the effort.
THE WORLD'S FIRST (BUT CERTAINLY NOT LAST) JEWISH LAWYER
by Alan M. Dershowitz ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 6, 2015
The great patriarch as a template for Jewish lawyers across the ages.
Famed Harvard attorney Dershowitz (Taking the Stand: My Life in the Law, 2013, etc.) presents Abraham, father of three religions, as the original Jewish lawyer. Describing him as "an idol smasher, a conniver, a rescuer, an advocate, a compliant fundamentalist, and a shrewd real estate investor, the author identifies a wide range of lawyerly traits, good and bad, in the portrait of the patriarch provided by Scripture and the Midrash. Dershowitz begins with an overview of what little we know of the life of Abraham, along the way pointing out legal touches in the story. For instance, he argued like a defense attorney for the lives of the people of Sodom, and in procuring a burial plot for his wife, he negotiated like a real estate attorney might. Dershowitz goes on to look at Jews as defendants. He examines a few specific examples, such as Alfred Dreyfus and Leo Frank, but his focus is much more global. He asserts that the very injustice suffered by the Jews over the course of centuries has honed their collective respect and aptitude for the law. "Jews have come to appreciate justice and the rule of law," writes the author, "because we have experienced so much injustice and the rule of might over right." Dershowitz profiles a number of great Jewish lawyers from the modern era as well. The author begins with a great concept, but the effort seems lacking. A comprehensive look at Abraham as a proto-lawyer, influencing future generations, would be a welcome and fascinating addition to the corpus of Jewish studies. Dershowitz only provides a cursory glance here, but the book, replete with Jewish jokes and Woody Allen quotes, is a homey start.

DEFENDING ISRAEL

THE TRIALS OF ZION
PREEMPTION
If the authors are serious, this is a silly, distasteful book. If they are not, it's a brilliant satire.
by Robert Greene ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 1, 1998
The authors have created a sort of anti-Book of Virtues in this encyclopedic compendium of the ways and means of power.
Everyone wants power and everyone is in a constant duplicitous game to gain more power at the expense of others, according to Greene, a screenwriter and former editor at Esquire (Elffers, a book packager, designed the volume, with its attractive marginalia). We live today as courtiers once did in royal courts: we must appear civil while attempting to crush all those around us. This power game can be played well or poorly, and in these 48 laws culled from the history and wisdom of the world's greatest power players are the rules that must be followed to win. These laws boil down to being as ruthless, selfish, manipulative, and deceitful as possible. Each law, however, gets its own chapter: "Conceal Your Intentions," "Always Say Less Than Necessary," "Pose as a Friend, Work as a Spy," and so on. Each chapter is conveniently broken down into sections on what happened to those who transgressed or observed the particular law, the key elements in this law, and ways to defensively reverse this law when it's used against you. Quotations in the margins amplify the lesson being taught. While compelling in the way an auto accident might be, the book is simply nonsense. Rules often contradict each other. We are told, for instance, to "be conspicuous at all cost," then told to "behave like others." More seriously, Greene never really defines "power," and he merely asserts, rather than offers evidence for, the Hobbesian world of all against all in which he insists we live. The world may be like this at times, but often it isn't. To ask why this is so would be a far more useful project.

by Elie Wiesel & translated by Marion Wiesel ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 16, 2006
Elie Wiesel spent his early years in a small Transylvanian town as one of four children.
He was the only one of the family to survive what Francois Maurois, in his introduction, calls the "human holocaust" of the persecution of the Jews, which began with the restrictions, the singularization of the yellow star, the enclosure within the ghetto, and went on to the mass deportations to the ovens of Auschwitz and Buchenwald. There are unforgettable and horrifying scenes here in this spare and sombre memoir of this experience of the hanging of a child, of his first farewell with his father who leaves him an inheritance of a knife and a spoon, and of his last goodbye at Buchenwald his father's corpse is already cold let alone the long months of survival under unconscionable conditions.
The author's youthfulness helps to assure the inevitable comparison with the Anne Frank diary although over and above the sphere of suffering shared, and in this case extended to the death march itself, there is no spiritual or emotional legacy here to offset any reader reluctance.

Honolulu Magazine Wishpond
They say that the most significant thing about business is the place. This might have been true in the days before the advent of the world wide web, but it appears that today, marketing is what decides the success of a business.
Starting a business nowadays is still all about the location, but now it ought to be about getting your brand to stick out at the most aggressive real estate market: the internet. On the world wide web, attention is a valuable resource that everybody is fighting for. This is why marketing has shifted its priority towards internet marketing.

Characteristics: How can Wishpond Assist Your Organization? Honolulu Magazine Wishpond
Build Effective Landing Pages
Wishpond makes it easy for users to create landing pages with a fresh and modern vibe. Programming knowledge isn't necessary, as putting together and editing elements of the landing page is all just a matter of drag and drops and double clicks.
The elements prepared for building include multimedia as photographs and videos, and text boxes, as well as elements that site visitors can interact with such as selection icons, buttons which link to social media sites, and forms. Adding and changing the contents of text boxes simply need a double click.
Wishpond also features a wide number of templates, all completely customizable. Elements can be dragged and dropped in and out of the templates as much as the consumer likes to. The included templates also adapt automatically to any size of screen, so users can make certain that the quality of the landing pages are consistent irrespective of device used. All landing pages created with this tool are also mobile responsive, and will interact flawlessly with mobile devices.
Those with knowledge on CSS and Javascript programming may utilize the landing page builder's advanced CSS and Javascript editor. This provides for more comprehensive landing page customization. To provide a landing page a much more stylish end, Wishpond makes it easy to make a Parallax effect for landing pages. The Parallax effect is that smooth, subtle effect that makes it seem that images are shifting, far from what is possible with GIFs.
Insert Pop-ups and Forms into Your Landing Page Honolulu Magazine Wishpond
Apart from landing page templates, Wishpond also gives users plenty of choices when it comes to the look of forms found in the landing page. Aside from the fundamental text field, users can also include fields for additional purposes such as for:
Uploading files and documents;
Drop down menus to make a list of alternatives have a cleaner look;
and checkboxes and radio buttons.
Pop-ups can also be added to landing pages in order to encourage interaction while maintaining the modern and clean appearance of the webpage. The pop-ups available can come in the form of entry pop-ups that appear after a visitor has arrived on the webpage, or even ones that activate if visitors scroll down the page or spend a set period of time on it.
Pop-ups can also be set to be triggered once visitors click on a submit button to act as a confirm button. For final attempts to acquire clients, exit pop-ups will also be available. They appear if visitors opt to leave your landing page.
What's better is that pop-ups can be added to other pages of the user's websites.
Adding forms and pop-ups are also drag and drop, like other elements of the landing page.
Landing Page Analytics: Get the Numbers on Your Landing Page's Performance
We should never underestimate the power of data-driven decisions in our business. Wishpond users can easily make copies of the landing page and customize them individually. After creating several landing pages, users can then take advantage of the A/B testing feature that comes with Wishpond.
A/B testing means that users can fetch and compare data to determine which landing page styles are more successful when it comes to visitor interaction rate and conversion rate, which lets users know how likely visitors are to enter data in the types. This is essential for landing pages that aim to get visitors to subscribe to newsletters, seminars, and many more which requires visitors to enter their email addresses and other details. In a nutshell, A/B testing lets users know which components and layouts are better than others when it comes to visitor participation.
Data that may be fetched include analytics, which provides a summary on the performance of all marketing campaigns created via Wishpond. This can also be used to understand the likelihood that a link is clicked by visitors of the page.
A/B testing may also let users know how many of the website visitors interact and input data on the forms included on the landing pages. If the visitors allow monitoring, then A/B testing may be used to compare the data between visitors.
Manage Contests and Promos Honolulu Magazine Wishpond
Contests and promos can help your company collect email addresses and have them subscribe to your newsletter to be able to inform them of prospective products and promos. Wishpond makes this as easy as creating landing pages: just a few clicks, then drag and drop.
Wishpond lets users facilitate contests on social networking sites like facebook. When run on Facebook for example, then people can join contests by giving them an option to subscribe to your newsletter with the email that they supplied to make their own account, or any email that they desire.
Wishpond can also encourage people to share your content on their social networking sites with the addition of social networking link icons.
To help design promotions and contests, users can opt choose between the software within Wishpond. The software will enable users to quickly create Essay contests, Vote contests, Video competitions, Referral competitions, and even Sweepstakes.
Automate Your Online Marketing
Aside from making attractive marketing content, part of what makes a successful campaign is consistency. Following through with updating and engaging with customers long after their subscription is just as important.
As is the standard with other marketing tools, Wishpond makes it simple for users to create email campaigns. Users can begin drip campaigns and even personal mail effortlessly.
Users can also assign scores to prospects and sort them based on how they perform. This way, real-time analytics is possible and consumers can gauge the performance of their campaigns. Users can make emails and other content tailored to suit the demographic and activity of their target market. This contributes to higher conversion rates because of the better targeted, personalized emails.
The Basic program goes for $45 a month for 1 user and includes free email and live chat, can be used to handle up to 1000 contacts, along with access to these features:
Website popups
The Pro program goes for $78 per month and can be used by 5 users to manage 2500 contacts. It has all the features of this basic plan but provides more customization with CSS and Javascript, A/B testing, promotions and contests, and direct management.
The Growth plan is $129 per month and can be used by unlimited users to handle up to 1 million clients. It unlocks the full suit of Wishpond's features and will have an implementation and training program.
Enough about pricing, just look at their cute panda logo. Isn't that enough to try out their free trial?
Final Thoughts: Honolulu Magazine Wishpond
It's always good to remember how important the right tool is for your business. Wishpond is a terrific product and will help all levels of users using their internet marketing: from the brand new start-up to big businesses. I can say that the price for every plan is reasonable enough for the features and services that they offer.
Overall, Wishpond is a great product. As to which strategy is best, only you can answer that. However, a good deciding point is that the number of customers and customers that your company can accommodate. The simple plan is more than sufficient for 1000 customers. Sure, the Guru program offers more analytics tools as well as the promotions and contest builder all for an additional $33 per month. But, what you get from it's limited by how many customers your business can cater to.
The things that can be made with Wishpond look sleek and fit for modern online marketing. The intuitive user interface also reflects this. Users won't find it tough to create the marketing content that they want with Wishpond.
I suggest you try Wishpond for free now and see how you like it. I'm pretty sure you'll find it to be so helpful, you'll smile like this guy right here!
