Dante and The Beatles
"If a world can or must…self-annihilate…then that world does not exist, never did exist, never will exist, cannot exist."
"In the middle of the journey of our life I came to myself within a dark wood where the straightway was lost. Ah, how hard a thing it is to tell of that wood, savage and harsh and dense…So bitter is it that death is hardly more." (Dante, Inferno, Canto I) "Liverpool can be a lonely place on a Saturday night… and this is only Thursday morning." (Ringo Starr, Yellow Submarine)
650 years after Dante Alighieri completed his Divine Comedy, a rock and roll band from Liverpool, England, none other than the world-famous Beatles, retraced his steps. In 1968, they released a modern, ostensibly secular version of Dante's great epic, a movie called Yellow Submarine.
Not that the Beatles necessarily knew that they were following in Dante's footsteps – it probably never even crossed their minds. But inspired by intellectual and spiritual forces in their own lives, they ended up exploring many of the same themes that Dante had explored centuries earlier.
After spending a night isolated in the dark wood, unable to escape, Dante meets Virgil: "Thou must take another road if thou wouldst escape from this savage place…and I shall be thy guide and lead thee hence." (Inferno, Canto I). The road Virgil has in mind is not through the spatio-temporal world of Tuscany but through a perpendicular world normally traveled only by the dead. Nor does he counsel flight. Instead, he leads Dante into and through the 'belly of the beast'.
"Abandon all hope, ye that enter here," reads the sign posted over the gate of Hell. Once inside, Dante comes to the shore of Acheron, the river of death. The souls gathered on the bank, awaiting Charon's transport, "blasphemed God and their parents, the humankind, the place, the time, and the seed of their begetting and of their birth;" and yet "they are eager to cross the river for divine justice so spurs them that fear turns to desire." (Inferno, Canto III)
The souls in Hell no longer have the capacity for change. They cannot repent, and they cannot influence events in the spatio-temporal world. They are defined now by their sins, and they are compelled to live out those sins forever. The sign atop the gate also reads, "Divine power made me…and I endure eternally."
In Hell, all roads, all rungs, lead to Satan. As Dante and Virgil descend, Hell becomes colder and colder. At the very bottom, they find Satan encased in ice; here is the nadir of all being, a foretaste perhaps of the 'heat death' awaiting the cosmos.
But this is not the end of Dante's journey. He and Virgil walk on and discover that the direction of their motion has changed. They are no longer descending, they are starting the ascent of Mount Purgatory: "…without caring to have any rest, we climbed up…so far that I saw through a round opening some of the fair things that Heaven bears; and thence we came forth to see again the stars." (Inferno, Canto XXXIV)
Dante's Purgatory is very different from his Hell. Unlike Hell and Paradise, in many ways Purgatory is reminiscent of life on Earth, except that the souls there are immaterial: "O empty shades, except in semblance! Three times I clasped my hands behind him and as often brought them back to my own breast." (Dante, Purgatorio, Canto II)
Dante ascends Purgatory Mountain and at last crosses into Paradise. Dante's Paradise is reminiscent of the Garden of Eden, but it encompasses the entire universe. The first and last verses of Paradiso sum it up: "The glory of him who moves all things penetrates the universe…the Love that moves the sun and the other stars."
Let's return now to England (c. 1968) and rejoin the Beatles as they prepare to embark on their own mystical journey. Trapped in the loneliness of Liverpool, Ringo meets the Beatles' version of Virgil, Young Fred, the newly appointed Lord Admiral who has just escaped from Pepperland in a yellow submarine.
Pepperland has succumbed to an attack by a race of giants (from Norse Mythology?) known as "Blue Meanies". The idyllic tranquility of this land has been shattered, its population "bonked" into a state of suspended animation and the land itself laid waste (as in the Grail Legends?). The once rainbow-colored countryside is now monochrome gray, all music silent, dancers frozen in place. Just as Eden was lost but later regained, so Pepperland has been lost and now must be regained.
Back in Liverpool, Ringo and Young Fred proceed through a gate of their own. The sign atop this gate reads "The Pier", fitting because this will be the launch site for the Beatles' journey to Pepperland. The Gate of Hell ushered Dante and Virgil into a land beyond imagination; so the Pier for the Beatles.
We enter a long, narrow corridor with doors every few feet on either side. Behind each door some event is unfolding, some apparently from 'real life', others obviously not. Plus, whenever our travelers' attention is distracted, the corridor itself comes alive with all sorts of fantastic creatures, some of whom we will meet later in the "Sea of Monsters."
The journey to Pepperland runs through a series of "seas" (branes?) that challenge every preconception our travelers have regarding the nature of being. The first three seas deconstruct the phenomenal world into three basic elements: time, space, and objects or events. Each of these elements in turn will undergo its own deconstruction. First, the Sea of Time: "What time is it? …It's time for time! …Look, the hands (of a clock) are slowing down…Maybe time's gone on strike…" Here time flows at a variable rate…and it flows backwards as well as forwards.
It is 'time for time'. Therefore, it is the womb of all possible versions of time, not just the ho-hum 9 to 5 time (or 7 to 7 these days) that we experience in our everyday lives. "I don't want to alarm you, but the years are going backwards. If we slip back through time at this rate, we'll all disappear up out of our own existence," Young Fred warns. To 'disappear up out of our own existence' is very different from what people normally call 'dying'.
If time is reversible (even just theoretically), then existence can be erased…retroactively. And since nothing can come from nothing (certain contemporary physicists notwithstanding), nothing is, ever was, or ever will be.
If our existence can be erased (even theoretically), how can we claim to have ever 'been' at all? If my existence is not a settled matter of fact ("I am"), if it can be annulled at any time – and if it can be annulled, it will be annulled - then at best I enjoy a sort of 'virtual existence'.
John is undaunted. "Can't we do something to the clock?… Move the hands forward, see what happens." Outrageously, Yellow Submarine proposes that time is a function of the clocks that measure it, not the other way around as we had commonly supposed. Surprisingly, many 21st century cosmologists would agree.
The second sea, the Sea of Science, deconstructs space, showing that it can be represented just as well in 2 dimensions as in 3. Yellow Submarine suggests that a specific dimensionality is not an essential element of spatial extension. As with time, human representations of space (Cartesian grids, Platonic solids) determine what space is. The Beatles' insight has been confirmed by Black Hole physics, String Theory, etc. The third sea, the Sea of Monsters, deconstructs objects and events. It shows that what we accept as 'normal' is, in fact, a very limited and highly selective subset of all the combinations of structures and qualities that spacetime could contain…and does. Here, the Beatles anticipate Stephen Gould's Wonderful Life.
Just before Yellow Submarine was released, Hugh Everett published his famous "Many Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics". According to Everett, everything that can happen does happen, but we can only be aware of one string of events out of innumerable actual strings. A bit like blockchain.
In the Sea of Monsters, all possible forms flourish. There is no distinction between organic structures and mechanical ones. Shape and form are indefinitely mutable. As in the seas of time and space, the stuff that appears to make up our world, i.e., objects and events, is an artifact of imagination.
This third sea is aptly named. All the creatures in this sea are indeed 'monsters', not because of how they look or how they are made but because of how they behave. Without exception, they are involved in activity destructive to themselves and to others. These monsters act exactly like the souls in Dante's Inferno. Their natures are hard-wired, and they don't have the capacity to overcome their 'programming'. They are outside the state of grace.
Among the various monsters in this sea, one stands-out: the Vacuum Monster. As its name suggests, it is the nature of this creature to suck up everything it encounters. In this "monstrous sea", every creature threatens other creatures, but the vacuum monster threatens them all…himself included. The vacuum monster is the Beatles' version of Dante's Satan, the agent of 'nothingness'.
Sure enough, the Vacuum Monster sucks up all the other monsters. Then, seeing that there are no other monsters to suck, it sucks up the fabric of spacetime. Finally, it sucks itself, tail first, "into oblivion…or even further". Like the souls in Hell, the monsters in Yellow Submarine are compelled to act out destructive patterns, even when that activity dooms them, both individually and collectively.
The first three seas en route to Pepperland closely resemble Dante's Hell. Yellow Submarine suggests that all possible worlds must include an extensive continuum (e.g., spacetime) populated by actual entities (e.g., events), and it goes on to propose that any such world must necessarily be self-annihilating.
Why? First, there is no inherent reason why processes in the 'extensive continuum', the medium of evolution, should not flow backwards as well as forwards, inwards as well as outwards (i.e., why space should not be curled up into a point like the 'rolled up' dimensions posited in some versions of String Theory.)
Second, since the 'actual entities' are cannibalistic by nature, the incessant loom of combinations and permutations would inevitably give rise to a Vacuum Monster, a Satan, with the power to consume all things, itself included. Atomic scientist, Robert Oppenheimer, misquoted the Bhagavad Gita: "Now I have become death, the destroyer of worlds."
If a world can or must ('can' and 'must' both mean 'will') self-annihilate, retroactively as well as proactively, then that world does not exist, never did exist, never will exist, cannot exist. If being can be annihilated, it really isn't 'being' at all, is it? Things can come and go but being itself either is…or isn't. If being is actual, well then it is; but if it's not…it's not.
According to this model, without some reference point beyond itself, it is inevitable that any possible world would annihilate itself; and if all possible worlds are doomed to self-annihilation, then no such world can possibly exist. Yellow Submarine begins ostensibly as a secular ontology, but it ultimately proves that no consistent secular ontology is possible, other than hardcore nihilism.
Remember, Dante's Hell is only possible because "Divine power made me…and I endure eternally." The ontology of the Divine Comedy is not secular. The story of the Yellow Submarine builds on Dante's insight and, as we shall see, forces the conclusion that all possible secular theories of Being are necessarily inconsistent; but back to our story…
Of course, the Vacuum Monster does his worst, and predictably we are left with no time, no space, no anything. Like Dante, our 'lads' have reached the nadir of being, an empty state which the Beatles appropriately call, "Nowhere Land". This would seem to be the end of our voyage…and of our adventure...and of us. But not so! It turns out to be just the beginning. As Mary Tudor said, "My end is my beginning."
Nowhere Land may be located at the nadir of Hell but, as Dante discovered, your very next step takes you in a different direction, up Mount Purgatory toward Paradise. Plus, it also turns out that Nowhere Land is not entirely empty after all. It is not a void. It is more like the world, as the Book of Genesis describes it, just before creation:
"…The earth was without form or shape, with darkness over the abyss and a mighty wind sweeping over the waters." Not much of a vacation destination to be sure (though I've been to worse), but not quite empty either.
In Nowhere Land, there is a proto-being by the name of Jeremy Hillary Boob, Ph.D. The Beatles aptly call him "Nowhere Man". Dr. Boob ('JHB') is quite literally what's left of a world after its total destruction. JHB is pure information; but the information is so totally disorganized that it cannot know what it knows, and so it cannot be harnessed to do any 'work'.
It does not have the power to make a difference, so neither does Jeremy. If the criterion for existence is "a difference that makes a difference" (to misapply a phrase stolen from Gregory Bateson), then JHB does not exist in any true sense of the word. He is being's ghost.
Stephen Hawking showed that black holes have the power to annihilate everything that falls through their event horizons; but he also showed that these same holes radiate the information they consume back into the cosmos. Jeremy is that information; in Hawking's terms, he is the black hole's "hair."
According to the oldest-known Western philosopher, Anaximander, 'actual being' comes about only when two or more 'potential beings' grant each other "reck". Unlike the souls in Dante's Hell and the creatures in the Sea of Monsters, Anaximander's proto-beings avoid the allure of mutual self-destruction and decide, independently of one another, to let each other be (Let it Be – Beatles). They do not do this out of any hope of personal gain or out of any expectation of reciprocity; they do it out of Love.
This is a decision that all of us in the living world have the opportunity to make every day. Every time we treat another as we would want to be treated, we co-create the universe with God. The souls in Hell do not have this opportunity; by their unrepented sins they have forfeited it. Neither do the creatures in Sea of Monsters; they are destined to destroy themselves and everything around them.
There is no Love in Hell, or in the Seas of Time, Science and Monsters. So, where does this totally selfless Love come from? What is its origin? In a universe powered by mutually assured destruction, the decision to let an adversary survive, risking your own doom in the process, is utterly 'unnatural'. Therefore, it has to originate outside the 'natural' (spatio-temporal and material) world.
The Love that drives the universe must be transcendent. For Dante, that means Paradise; for the Beatles, Pepperland. Take your pick!
JHB does not (actually) exist, but he does have the potential to exist. He needs someone (or something) to grant him reck and for him to grant reck to. Enter the Beatles! They choose to befriend the Nowhere Man: "Mr. Boob, you can come with us if you like." "You mean you'd take a nowhere man?" "Come on, we'll take you somewhere."
As a member of the crew, the Boob finds purpose and with that purpose, he begins to organize his information, so he can use it to 'make a difference'…which, ultimately, he does. He becomes a full-fledged 'person' after all, a Pinocchio, a 'real boy'.
The Beatles and the Boob grant each other reck and, as Anaximander predicted, ontogenesis results! But to be born out of mutual reck, out of Love, is not to exist merely in the spatio-temporal, material realm; it is also to exist in an eternal realm. To be is necessarily to transcend the limitations of space, time and matter/energy. It is our thesis that a cosmos limited to space, time and materiality, i.e., a secular universe, could not exist.
From Nowhere Land, the Beatles' journey is now upwards toward Pepperland, just as Dante's journey was upwards toward Paradise. Next stop: the "Foothills of the Headlands". This is the land of disembodied thought. Its inhabitants desire to help the Beatles on their journey, but they cannot. Like Dante's souls in Purgatory, these creatures are immaterial and powerless to bring their goals to fruition.
After the Headlands comes the Sea of Holes. Here we pass into the realm of 'negative space'. The usual relations of figure and ground are reversed. The sea itself is the ground, and the holes in that ground constitute the figure. Nothingness has become concrete, so concrete that Ringo is actually able to put a 'hole' into his pocket.
The topology of this sea is radically non-orientable. There is no consistent sense of directionality, no spatial ordering. It's like an Escher drawing on steroids. But if the Sea of Holes is evidently non-orientable, then the entire universe in which it is embedded, including Liverpool and Pepperland, must also be non-orientable, albeit less obviously so.
We may say that the universe is locally orientable but globally non-orientable because it has the Sea of Holes embedded in it. Think of the world we live in: earth appears flat (locally) but it is round (globally).
In the words of the Paradiso, "The glory of him who moves all things penetrates the universe and shines in one part more and in another less."
Here, Yellow Submarine diverges slightly from the Divine Comedy. Dante has the experience of non-orientability when he is on the threshold of Purgatory. "I raised my eyes and thought to see Lucifer as I had left him; and I saw his legs held upward." (Inferno, Canto XXXIV)
Just as Dante and Virgil turn to leave Hell, Dante looks back and is surprised to see Satan upside down, a reversal of directionality that is the trademark of non-orientable spaces. Passing through the Sea of Holes, the Beatles experience that same signature reversal of orientation.
The Sea of Holes leads to Pepperland…but not so fast! You may only enter through an infinitely thin membrane (an event horizon?) called the "Sea of Green"… and only one of the holes in the Sea connects to the Sea of Green. There are innumerable holes to choose from.
Conceivably, one could spend 'a lifetime plus' searching for the one hole that connects with the Sea of Green, then on to Pepperland…and never find it. Neither Dante nor the Beatles can reach their goal without the intervention of grace.
Fortunately, our Argonauts do find the Sea of Green, and when they do, they immediately find themselves in Pepperland. Remarkably, Pepperland looks a lot like Liverpool, i.e., it's drab…and lonely. But the Beatles quickly "unbonk" the Lord Mayor with "a snatch of a tune" and "ready the land to rebellion". It is now that they discover that they bear an "uncanny" resemblance to four of Pepperland's permanent residents, the members of Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
In fact, the Beatles are Sergeant Pepper's band! They are Beatles under the aspect of spacetime, but they are Sergeant Pepper under the aspect of eternity.
Together, the historical Beatles and the eternal Pepper Band use music to restore Pepperland to its former glory. Their battle hymn: All you need is Love! The Blue Meanies are routed. But in the spirit of Love, the Beatles offer reconciliation: "Hello there, blue people. Won't you join us?" And of course, they do: "Yes, let's mix, Max!" It is said that the fundamental question of philosophy is: "Why is there something rather than nothing?" The myriad answers proposed seem to fall into three categories:
Chance. Being is an accident. There might just as well not be Being, but it just so happens that there is.
Necessity. Being is a necessity. It is in the nature of Being that it must be. (Ontological Argument)
Choice. Here one is reminded of the great words from Deuteronomy: "I set before you Life and Death…therefore choose Life." (Deut. 30: 19) Dante and the souls in Paradise choose Life; so do the Beatles and the Boob.
Choice is not the same thing as chance. Choice can only be motivated by values, and all value ultimately boils down to Love: All you need is Love!
For Anaximander, Love is mutual 'reck'; for the Beatles, that Love is embodied in music; for Dante, Love is Paradise itself, "the Love that moves the sun and the other stars."
In his master work (Process and Reality), British philosopher Alfred North Whitehead combines these views. All values come from the "Primordial Nature of God", i.e., God's eternal valuations, outside of space and time; but those values in turn are only fully realized in the "Consequent Nature of God", which includes spatio-temporal, material events. The Consequent Nature of God reconciles all things to each other and with God's primordial values (I Cor. 15: 24 – 28).
Welcome to Paradise! And a special thanks to Dante and the Beatles for showing us the way.

1875 (Lübeck)–1955 (Zurich, Switzerland)
No other person portrayed bourgeois Germany in the 20th as he did, and no one more precisely described the abysses of the bourgeoisie as the Nobel laureate from Lübeck. Thomas Mann was awarded the prize in 1929 explicitly for the "Buddenbrooks" (Buddenbrooks – Verfall einer Familie), the swan song for 19th century bourgeois society. At the end of the 1920s, Thomas Mann pointedly advocated rescue of the bourgeois republic in Germany – which was well-known in Scandinavia, a stronghold of democracy among an increasingly authoritative-governed Europe.
Forced into emigration in 1933, he said about the core of Nazi racial hatred: "It is directed against the Christian and classical foundations of Western morality. It is the attempt to shake off the ties of civilization and threatens to bring about a terrible alienation between the land of Goethe and the rest of the world."
While Thomas Mann continued his literary work with incredible discipline, he never grew tired of reminding the world from his exile in Switzerland and America that there was another, better Germany.
After the war he returned to Zurich, as close as possible to his beloved – and feared Germany. And in 1949 while attending the Goethe anniversary in Weimar, he emphasized that the German cultural nation was indivisible.

BT-45LINE
An electronic water doser mixer
The DOMIX 45A is an electronic water doser mixer with thermostatic regulation of the temperature, with the hydraulic part fully integrated and with memory for 80 recipes. The temperature is adjusted by means of the knob that controls a thermostatic mixing valve. This is able to maintain the set temperature even in case of variations of the inlets temperatures and pressures. The presence of the by-pass allows to discard the water out of the acceptable temperature range, thus allowing an accurate control of the water that ends up in the dough. The by-pass management is manual in the DOMIX 45 and automatic through a solenoid valve in the DOMIX 45A. It's the most common water meter and is suitable both for artisan and industrial environments; it allows to optimize the dosing process of water in the dough, ensuring accuracy and repeatability of quantity and temperature, with an error tolerance lower than 1% on dosing and 1°C on temperature. Due to its robust integrated structure and compact dimensions, the DOMIX 45 can be easily installed in any room, even of small size. Thanks to the external probe with spiral extendable cable, the temperature of the ambient, or of the flour, or of the dough it's shown on the display. The DOMIX can be controlled remotely via serial interface or remote commands.
The electrical and control part is protected by a stainless steel case, integrated with the hydraulic part
The control electronics is microprocessor based
The user interface consists of digital displays, displaying the water quantity and temperature, and the numeric keyboard to set the desired quantity
Automatic thermostatic mixing and self-calibrating systems for the tail of dosing and for the temperatures read by the probes
Servo-operated solenoid valves
High precision external temperature probe
3 Way Kit to manage the inlets combinations for season changes (Summer/Winter)
START and STOP remote commands
RS485 serial interface with MODBUS protocol for setting the quantity only the second delivery hose, for the by-pass
An electronic water doser-mixer with the hydraulics partially integrated
The DOX 30M is an electronic water doser-mixer with the hydraulics partially integrated; the temperature is to be set by a knob on the thermostatic mixing valve: this keeps the set temperature even in case of changes in the inlets temperatures and pressures. Suitable for artisan medium and small sized bakeries, the DOX 30Mmakes it possible to optimize the water dosing process, ensuring accuracy and repeatability of quantity and temperature with error margins lower than 1% on the dosing and 1.5 °C on the temperature. Thanks to its light and integrated structure, it is easy to install in any room, even of small size. The last settings are always kept in memory. The model DOX 30G has the same mixer unit as the DOMIX 45and 35, which is more robust and accurate. The model DOX 30 offers only the dosing function, without the temperature control. The DOX can be controlled remotely via the serial interface or the remote commands.
The electrical and control part is protected by a ABS case, integrated with the hydraulic part
The user interface consists of digital displays to show the quantity and temperature of the water and a four buttons keyboard to set and to deliver the desired quantity
3 Way Kit (only for M version) to manage the inlets combinations for season changes (Summer/Winter)
RS485 serial interface with MODBUS protocol for setting the quantity only

Pulling No Punches
The Sam Langford Story
Author: Steven Laffoley
Publisher: Pottersfield Press
Heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey called Sam Langford from Weymouth Falls, Nova Scotia, "The greatest fighter we've ever had." And champion Jack Johnson stated he "he was the toughest little son-of-a-bitch that ever lived." Celebrated New York boxing writer Hype Igoe said he was "the greatest fighter, pound for pound, who ever lived," while New York sports writer Joe Williams said he "was probably the best the ring ever saw." Langford was so good that many boxers refused to fight him, so good that he took bouts with bigger men just to get a match, so good that he once fought the greatest boxer of his age, Jack Johnson, who was forty pounds heavier and a good foot taller—and still went the distance.
Yet, for all the ferocity of his talent, Sam Langford (1883-1956) could not outbox fistic fate. From his first bout in 1902 until his last a quarter century later, he battled boxing's colour barrier that kept him from being world champion in three different weight classes. Still, he refused to be knocked down and relentlessly pursued a title shot until he was nearly forty. When, in 1923, he approached Jack Kearns, the manager of then heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey, for a title bout, the wily Kearns looked over the nearly blind, well-past-his-prime boxer, and shook his head. "We were looking for someone easier," he sighed. He was just that good. When Langford could no longer get his title shot, he retired from the ring in 1926 and soon faded from the public mind—until the serious compilers of lists that recognize boxing's all-time greatest began including his name, and he found himself becoming a legend.
His official record says he fought 250 bouts, but he remembered fighting more than 500. And he loved to talk about them all, loved the stories that shaped the contours of his life and loved the absolute truth and less-than-certain tales that wove themselves into his boxing legend. Of course, this was as it should have been, because for him, great boxing was as much about the battles' tales as it was about the battles themselves. This is the story of Sam Langford.

I normally hate shopping for clothes. I go when I have to, but tonight was one of those rare happy shopping trips. I guess I should explain.
Today I figured that my body is not likely to change since I'm lazy, so I might as well get some nice duds anyway. I also realized that my dear Arold would have wanted me to have nice clothes no matter what. He loved me fat or thin, and he never complained about spending money on food and clothes.
Lucky for me that Michaela, a former student, now works at Maurice's, my absolute favorite store in the mall. I was double lucky because many cool items were on clearance for 75% off! (Ysabela, my daughter, even got a few things tonight.) I felt better about spending the money when I got home and totaled up what I would have paid if things had not been on clearance. I saved a whopping $260.
Michaela sent me this pic to use. Isn't she adorable?
I'll post some pictures of the outfits Michaela helped me pick out. I think those Maurice's girls should get commissions because they are awesome. Having a "personal shopping assistant" is like hitting the lottery for me since I have absolutely no sense of style!

Aamir Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Varun Dhawan and Other Celebs Who Dared to Experiment with Roles [PHOTOS]
Bollywood celebs, including Aamir Khan, Kangana Ranaut, Priyanka Chopra and others have dared to experiment with their roles.

Rather than sticking to similar roles, acting is all about experimenting with different roles and getting into the skin of the characters.
Many Bollywood celebs, including Aamir Khan, Kangana Ranaut, Priyanka Chopra and others, who dared to experiment with their roles, have received quite a lot of accolades.
Despite acting in one or two films a year, Bollywood actor Aamir Khan has always managed to be on the top list with maximum box office collection. The actor has always tried to experiment with his characters, be it in "PK", "Dhoom 3" or "3 Idiots". Aamir received many appreciations from all quarters for transforming himself as an alien in "PK".
Priyanka Chopra shocked her fans with her amazing and non-glamorous performance in the sports biopic "Mary Kom".
Compared to his chocolate boy image in Karan Johar's "Student of the Year" and in David Dhawan's action comedy film "Main Tera Hero", Varun Dhawan did an entirely different role in his latest film "Badlapur". The actor was seen as a revenge-seeking husband in Sriram Raghavan's directorial venture.
Shahid Kapoor's latest film "Haider" portaryed him as a revenge-seeking son, which was completely different from his previous lover and chocolate-boy roles in "Kaminey" and "Jab We Met", among others.
Sidharth Malhotra, who made his acting debut with Karan Johar's "Student of the Year" also dared to do a serious role in "Ek Villain" in 2014.
From a bubbly and cute roles, Alia Bhatt was also seen in a serious character in the 2014 film, "Highway", along with Randeep Hooda. The actress received a lot of accolades and awards, including Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actress for her amazing performance in Imtiaz Ali directorial.
The bubbly actress Rani Mukerji has done quite a lot of romantic films in Bollywood. However, she also dared to experiment with her roles in 2005 film "Black" as a blind and deaf girl. She was recently appreciated for her role as a cop in Pradeep Sarkar's "Mardaani", which dealt with human trafficking.
Be it "Fashion", "Queen", "Tanu Weds Manu" or "Revolver Rani", Kangana Ranaut has never repeated her roles in Bollywood.
From "Hey Babyy", "Housefull" and "Grand Masti", Ritiesh had done a lot of humour roles. However, he was seen as a totally different person in Sidharth Malhotra-Shraddha Kapoor starrer "Ek Villain".

line counter other than IChart.I've been at this long enough that I can pretty much guess what my line count is/should be. Why in heaven's name would you continue to work for a company that you don't trust?
They kept promising me that things would get better. I typed acute care and radiology at the Big Q. When all the changes were made and we were switched to DQS I had to choose between acute care and radiology. I chose radiology which is my first love. I was also switched from pay per line to pay per report. My pay check truly suffered as there was little work for the great influx of MTs placed with the one office that handled radiology. They were truly not ready to handle all of this. Work was not distributed equally and what was your primary account was no longer. As they phased out accounts from the cottage program to DQS my work load was lighter and lighter. I stuck it out from August to January, but can understand how you feel as far as workload and pay, we all have to eat and are not working for charity.
Hope everything works out for you because it can be soooo frustrating going from one company to another only to be disappointed and then back out on the beaten path in tow with many others.
that it IS the MTs job to let her 'upper mgmt' know when she needed more work. However, I can tell you, that there apparently comes a point when a new account is NOT provided, ie, one doesn't always receive one when asked for one. Besides, it takes time, at the cost of momentum, to have to bounce from account to acccount looking for work. I am feeling rather irritated about this whole scenario right now and next time something comes my way, I may have to cut my hours at MDI and put my eggs in more than one basket.
softscript. i lasted only one month.
move on. not only will you not make money, but you're also stressing on a difficult account. two strikes; dont wait for the third.
I was offered a job at another company and accepted it, but something inside me said try TransTech. So that's what I'm doing! It's always hard to move on, but when you're being disrespected and treated badly, it's time.
long and involved test to be an Editor for SmartMed. Got hired but still did not understand why it was necessary to test that extensively.
and I did not sleep very well either the night after that meeting. Personally, I do not know what the big deal is about being paid by the keystroke. When I was hired on, I was told what I was being paid per keystroke and what it came out to be if it were a 65-character line just like every other place goes by and it has always been right on.
I look at things this way and the new guy said it himself during the meeting. There is a shortage of qualified MTs here in the US and now, according to him, there is starting to be in India. As far as I see it, who knows, there might be something even better somewhere else if things do not feel that they are working out for me. Do I worry? Yes, I do, but more so in a way that it seems like a possible unnecessary hassle for me and I like simple.
I left the home based business I had established for over 15 years, and took a job managing an office. I did it for a solid year, and at the end of the year, I missed so much being able to just take a break when I wanted. I was in a management position and could not just take a break for a solid year. In fact, I could have never left early, took a day off, or took a long lunch as I was the one in charge and nobody else was accountable. I don't know if that was really the case, but I sure felt like it.
After a year, I decided to come back home and start transcribing again. No regrets thus far. It's been three months, I sort of picked up where I left off, and my family is very happy to have me back at home.
I always love when people aske me what I do for a living, I tell them, and they ask how do I do that? I feel lucky. I have been able to stay home, earn a great living, and raise my kids. I am here for the deliveries and repairs, am able to fix dinner, and do a load of laundry in between jobs.
There is only one thing about working at home that has been hard. I love to give 100% to everything I do, but when I work at home, I tend not to do that. I spread myself too thin and manage to get it done. Would love to fix that part.
Overall, I am just so greatful to be able to do what I do.
really didn't care to receive an email saying basically the same things. I know she doesn't actually have my email address. I have posted hundreds of times on these boards and this is the first time anyone has done that.
I work for a GREAT company. I make a good line rate, I have great benefits and I always have more than enough work to keep me busy.
There have been some negative posts on here regarding the company I work for. The main complaint is the fact that they expect their MTs to work the schedule they commit to working when they are hired. There are also a few complaints about how strict QA can be. There has recently been a couple of posts about the company talking about lack of work on Monday and about having feed problems.
The truth is I have been offered OT on Mondays for the last month or 2. We have had 2 separate feed problems due to facility issues (not a company issue) within the past month. Now, my company pays downtime if we run out of work, they do not overstaff our accounts, they provide us great benefits and pay us great wages but people are still complaining??? I just don't get it.
If I had to go outside of my home and find a position, I sure as heck would not have near the convenience that I have with this job, even if I have to stick to a schedule. When you go outside of home to work, don't you have to work a schedule??? Do you not have something said to you if you are late or leave work early??? Do you not have something said to you if you make errors in your work???
I also hear people complaining about rude editors, co-workers, etc. Ummm, is everyone in your life always in a good mood? When you work outside of your home, do you never get your toes stepped on by someone or another??? I think I remember my biggest reason for working at home and that is because I don't like dealing with two-faced, back stabbers.
I know there are a lot of bad companies out there as I have worked for a few myself but after starting with this company and being here almost 3 years, I am amazed at the people who still complain about them.
MTs need to realize that this is a JOB. We have to make the same sacrifices as 90% of American workers, which includes WORKING A SCHEDULED SHIFT!! There is no doubt it is a little sacrifice so that I can continue to make a good wage, have good benefits and always have work.
It felt more like a secretary.
I lasted only a month. I felt more like a secretary than an MT. The amount of demos and information that had to be searched before you begin transcribing was unreal. QA also picked everything to death.
Squirm! That is exactly how I felt!
Picking on you? I tend to feel that way these days. Like, I feel that QA is being overly stern for some reason and the owner doesn't seem to care either way. In a sense I feel they WANT me to quit, but why not just fire me if I am not doing a good job?
After two years on the job and very consistent high QA scores, they decide that my QA isn't up to par and put me back in 100% QA and I have been on this for 3 months now and never had anything else said to me about it.
Was depressed for the past 2 days about it and wondering how I'm going to pay my bills now. Trying to find another job also.
I have never felt so demoralized.
You just keep taking and taking and giving nothing in return, but you still want 100% from us. Low morale, low productivity. And I know I am not the only one.
Past few months, whenever overtime is offered, it is offered with a warning that your lines should match up to your overtime hours and don't take advantage, blah, blah, balh. Almost makes you feel guilty for putting down overtime even though you are sitting there working. Now, we basically have had our holiday pay taken away. I used to be a real big supporter of OSi and they have basically treated me well, but I'm getting really discouraged.
Too soon to really say. I felt I did okay the first day given the learning curve.
I am hoping my production will increase by at least 150-200 lines a day over the first few days and that should more than bring me up to speed.
You stated that in another post? Again, are you out of your mind? So, if you work for free, no wonder they love you! HAHA! The joke is really on you and gee thanks for making hard for the rest of us to demand a paycheck on time every time. You're very condescending and you can even let it rest! Just an observer, but you are obviously just as bad as the owner that comes on here and posts in an unprofessional manner. Get over yourself already.
From my experience, I had no surprises. The transcription test was one of the easiest I've had. The written test took half the time I anticipated. I was scheduled 3 days in advance for the verbal and since I've had verbal tests in advance, I knew what to expect and did very well. I was hired 2 hours later.
They have been nothing but professional, organized, accommodating, supportive, have absolutely the best benefits (and I really investigated this before I applied to them) around. My pay doesn't bite, nor did I take a pay cut.
I think another poster further down the page said something to the effect that if you really know what you are doing, not just think you know what you are doing, this is a good company. I made more money my first check with them than my last check from the employer I left. All things being equal, comparing apples to apples, I am very happy there.
Your mileage may vary. I didn't bash you. Please extend the same courtesy.
My computer didn't come for almost a month-and-a-half, I had to have training rescheduled after it finally came, and then I couldn't get a return call from my supervisor with my account specs.
When she finally assigned the account, I got this huge e-mail with samples in it, at least 100, and not really organized in any way, shape, or form. I had some questions on the report types I was supposed to be assigning, but never heard back before getting an e-mail from that she was going to be gone for a week at a supervisor meeting. She didn't even tell me who to call for help.
I made it less than 2 weeks there as there was just no guidance. However, there was a gal who called about a month later to see how things were going, and I told her my experience. She said they were looking into mentors for newhires, so maybe that has improved now.
it was a good time to retire. If you Google Transcription Stat and Sausalito (where the MTSO at the root of the whole affair was located--interesting because the office used to be in downtown San Francisco and Sausalito was where Kim lived. Wonder if she was running it out of her home at the time the whole thing went down...), all you get is references to the UCSF affair so I suspect she is no longer in business. Didn't one article say her UCSF work totally dried up after that? That was her main account, as far as I know.
I went to MDI-MD immediately after that (I refuse to work for MQ). D made a few remarks about Carole, how she always said she would never sell and then did ...... and now I guess D heard the call of the almighty dollar as well. I can't honestly blame them. If I had worked hard all of my life and built up something and someone offered me a gazillion $$$ for it, I would figure I had earned it, sell, and enjoy the fruits of my labor. Still, I feel sorry for the MDI folks now. I am now at Keystrokes, praying that they are not the next company to be gobbled up.
later I am a temporary employee at Walmart for 6.00/hr. Still more than I was making at my production job but how humiliating.
I worked for MQ for a very long time, almost 15 years, and made the switch in January. What a great change it has been for me and it is nice to see offices being built for expansion rather than closing like the one in Tinley Park did with MRC/MQ. I should have made the move 2 years ago, but am glad I finally did it this year.


There isn't a more suitable city in the world to host the Venice Architecture Biennale 2018, which will open its doors from May 26 to November 25, than Venice. This year, the 71 participants have been invited to express their idea of "Freespace".
As usual, the most awaited event of the year will be hosted in two main venues: Arsenale and Giardini.
This is the year where architecture comes back on stage, with a purpose: promoting the "desire" of architecture itself, as President Baratta said during an interview.
The main concept is the idea of space, with specific attention to the usage of free and public space.
The two Irish curators, in fact, said that "we hope that the word FREESPACE allows us to burrow into the aspirations, ambitions, and generosity of architecture".
The Exhibition will also see the participation of 63 National Participations in the historic Pavilions at the Giardini, the Arsenale and all around Venice. Among these participants, there are 6 new countries which will show their projects this year: Antigua & Barbuda, Saudi Arabia, Guatemala, Lebanon, Pakistan and the Holy See.
As we said, the majority of the national pavilions will be located at the Giardini and Arsenale, but a lot of free collateral pavilions will be also hosted inside ancient Venetian palaces, situated in different parts of the city. Palazzo Soranzo Van Axel is one of these, and it's just 6 minutes from our hotel, close to one of the most beautiful churches in Venice: the Madonna dei Miracoli.
The tickets for the 2018 Architecture Biennale are already available and you can buy them directly on the official website dedicated to the event.
There are different options and discounts, for example, a regular ticket costs 25 euros if you buy it at the desk. If you buy it online, you'll pay 20 euros plus the advance sale fee of 0,50 euros.
From our hotel, you can reach the two main locations, Arsenale and Giardini, on foot, in about half an hour.
If you prefer to take a vaporetto, you can take line 1 from Ca' D'Oro stop and get off at Arsenale, but it will take about 50 minutes.

Ex-Corrine Brown chief of staff begins sentence at Maryland prison
Ronnie Simmons surrendered Monday to begin 4-year sentence
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Former U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown's former chief of staff, Ronnie Simmons, reported Monday to a federal prison in Maryland, where he will begin a four-year sentence for his role in a charity fraud scheme.
Simmons is the first of the three defendants in the One Door for Education scheme to begin serving time. His co-conspirators, former One Door founder and president Carla Wiley, plus Brown, will follow later this month.
Simmons' attorney, Anthony Suarez, said Simmons turned himself in at FCI Cumberland around 2 p.m., after sending Suarez his last will and testament, in case anything happens to him in prison.
Simmons already had a federal inmate number before he reported Monday.
Suarez said he intends to keep in touch with Simmons and hopes Simmons will be able to take advantage of the programs offered in federal prison to rehabilitate himself and move forward with his life.
Since Simmons has been out on bond, he has been in trouble. Less than two weeks ago, Judge Timothy Corrigan changed the terms of Simmons' bond, and he was ordered to home confinement, mandating he wear a GPS monitor. This came after News4Jax obtained a photo of him in a Maryland courthouse. The pictures was taken just minutes after Simmons was given a peace order- that's similar to a restraining order--for threatening his ex-girlfriend inside the same courthouse.
Simmons' ex-girlfriend asked for the order, saying he threatened her because she was outspoken about him while this federal corruption case was being prosecuted. Simmons did cooperate with the government and testified against Brown. Prosecutors took that into consideration, and asked the judge for a three year prison sentence. But Judge Corrigan went above that, and imposed a four year sentence for his big role in the scheme.

Started in 1989, the AKC Canine Good Citizen® tests Program is designed to reward dogs who have good manners at home and in the community. The Canine Good Citizen Program is a two-part program that stresses responsible pet ownership for owners and basic good manners for dogs. All dogs who pass the 10-step CGC test may receive a certificate from the American Kennel Club.
In a little over one decade, the Canine Good Citizen Program has begun to have an extremely positive impact in many of our communities. This is a program that can help us assure that the dogs we love will always be welcomed and well-respected members of our communities. Training dogs to be happy healthy members of society is both fun and really rewarding. The award of Canine good citizen really shows the dedication that responsible dog parents put into their canine partners. Many dogs that visit hospitals, nursing homes or assisted living have the award of Canine Good citizen.
Friends for life dog training offers training classes to help your pass the AKC Canine good citizen test.
Weather you have an adult dog or a new puppy we prepare you and your best friend for the ten step test by teaching everything you need to learn in our basic manners puppy classes and basic manners adult dog classes or private training sessions.
