Point of Care Devices for Clinical Use
As a part of the ongoing projects on perinatal depression, neonatal jaundice, early detection of cardiac malfunction and dengue detection, more than 700 patients from Sri Sathya Sai General Hospital (SSSGH), Prasanthi Nilayam, Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences (SSSIHMS), Prasanthigram and SSSIHMS, Whitefield have been enrolled. The blood, saliva and urine samples from these patients were collected after obtaining informed consent. These samples were processed and stored appropriately. These samples were analysed using standard hospital protocol/equipment and gold standard- HPLC to know the actual value to be compared with that from our proposed devices.
Dengue and heart disease detection devices underwent testing of their alpha models. The feedback was noted and appropriate modifications have been implemented in the fabrication of the beta version. The neonatal device was deployed at SSSGH, Prasanthi Nilayam for field trials. The device for monitoring depression is under fabrication and is planned to be deployed for field trials by the end of this year. In addition, new novel materials for SPCE emission enhancements were studied and the mobile phone-SPCE platform was optimized for the detection of Tannic acid in water sources. Simple, candle soot-based fractal nano carbon islands were coated and shown to be better spacer layers than other nanomaterials that are less eco-friendly due to their synthesis protocol.
Work on novel materials, such as photonic crystals and soret nanoparticle assemblies for the detection of femtomolar aluminum ions, spermidine, iodide & glutathione and zeptomolar cortisol, is also underway.
Synthesis of Small Molecules with Potent Biological Activity
Natural products have afforded a rich source of compounds and made a huge contribution to human health.
Andrographis paniculata is an Ayurvedic herb known as Kalmegh (Nelavemu in Telugu). Andrographolide, the main constituent of Andrographis paniculata and its analogues, possess anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-diabetic, anti-HIV, FXR antagonists and hepato-protective properties. In this regard we have synthesized a number of derivatives of andrographolide and extensively studied their anti-cancer properties. Further studies are under progress, as we found that Androgragholide possesses very good anti-venom properties through PLA2 inhibition.
Spirobibenzopyans and pyrilium salts are two classes of novel synthetic compounds explored extensively by us. A library of over sixty compounds have been synthesized and characterized for various biological properties. They were found to have potent anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-venom properties as first in class therapeutic agents.
Azole antifungals, commonly known as conazoles, have been used for the topical treatment of superficial fungal infections and oral treatment of deep mycoses. In the current work, a series of oxiconazole analogs are being synthesized with chromones as the core moiety and modified azole rings as the substituents. Biological activity (antifungal and antibacterial activity) of the synthesized compounds is being investigated. Molecular docking studies of the synthesized compounds against lanosterol-14-demethylase are being done to understand the mechanism of inhibition.
Chromones are well-known for their ability to scavenge hydroxyl radicals, superoxide anion radicals and lipid peroxy-radicals, which are important for prevention of diseases associated with an oxidative damage of membranes, proteins and DNA. One step synthesis of novel chromone compounds having basic flavonoid skeleton using aldol condensation was done.
Selective Fluoride Removal by Metal Ion Complexed Polymer Films
User-friendly and biodegradable, Zirconium-Lanthanum (ZLPC) and Zirconium- Cerium (ZCPC) complexed polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films were synthesized for effective defluoridation of water. These films adsorbed 95-97% fluoride from water at pH 7, with 85% removal by ZLPC and 93% removal by ZCPC within the first 45minutes of the adsorption process. Ab-initio calculations were performed to understand the mechanism of adsorption. The films were reusable and showed ~85% removal of fluoride even after the fifth regeneration cycle. These handy films have a scope to be developed into a prototype for defluoridation of ground water.
Moreover, polymer blend-metal ion cross-linked composites of polyvinyl alcohol with polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyethyleneimine and polyacrylic acid have also shown promising results, which could be used as a water filtration membrane due to its water permeability. The composites based on PVA-polymer blends with Zirconium ion showed maximum adsorption of 99% fluoride in the pH range of 5 to 7. The composites could be utilized to design and develop promising defluoridating device for the fluoride endemic villages of the Rayalaseema region of Andhra Pradesh, India.
Environment: Anti-Corrosion Studies
The effects of thioureidobenzheteroazoles, namely 2-thioureidobenzoxazole (BOT), 2-thioureidobenzimidazole (BIT), 2-thioureidobenzothiazole (BTT) and isoperthiocyanic acid derivatives on the corrosion behaviour of mild steel in 2.0 M solution of HCl have been investigated by electrochemical and quantum chemical methods. Based on these findings, 2-thioureidobenzheteroazoles were found to exhibit very good corrosion inhibitory characteristics. Quantum chemical calculations revealed that sulphur and nitrogen heteroatoms serve as reactive centres for the adsorption of inhibitors.

Computational Investigation of Adsorption of Metal Ions on Biopolymers
A comparative study on the adsorption of metal ions on naturally occurring polymers, chitin, chitosan and cellulose has been done computationally. Desalination of seawater has been explored as a useful alternative to solve the problem of shortage of freshwater. 93.5% of the dissolved salts are constituted by Na, K, Mg, Ca, Br, S and Cl. Here, a theoretical investigation of biopolymers, chitosan, chitin and cellulose, as potential adsorbents of alkali and alkali earth metal ions has been carried out using Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations.
Synthesis of Novel Chemosensors for Sensing Applications
Considerable attention has been focused on the design of chemosensors which have the ability to selectively recognize and sense analytes through the naked eye, electrochemical, and optical responses. The present research work is focused on design and synthesis of some chemosensors for sensing harmful anions such as fluoride and cyanide and some toxic metal ions in aqueous media. Water soluble curcumin glycoside was synthesized and the aluminium complex of curcumin glycoside was used for fluoride ion detection in water. The present detection concept is further explored to develop a low cost, reusable F- detection kit, which showed its ability to detect Fluoride ions in aqueous medium at a very low concentration. Several derivatives of 2-benzoxazolylimino thiazolidinone were synthesized for sensing toxic metal ions such as mercury, cadmium, lead, etc.
Nanomaterials for Electro Catalytic Applications
Electrocatalysis by nanomaterials and nanocomposites has generated immense research interest as they exhibit very high surface area and unique electron conducting ability. Our research work focuses on the synthesis of novel nanocomposites for application as electrochemical sensors and fuel cells. Several silver and gold based nanocomposites were synthesised and used for electrochemical detection of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin and also the interfering molecules like uric acid and ascorbic acid. Novel gold and palladium based nanocomposites have been synthesised and used as electro catalysts that can oxidize methanol and ethanol and reduce hydrogen ions to release energy. Apart from that, we are also investigating oxygen evolution reaction and oxygen reduction reaction that would enhance the sluggish kinetics in Li-ion cells.
Metal Complexes for Hydrogen Fuel Cell Applications
Researchers have shown great deal of attention on transition metal complexes with varying ligands due to their potential uses as catalysts, biological processes and inorganic materials. In this context, hydrogen as the future energy currency is widely considered as the solution to the energy crisis. Metal ions can be framed in special position by using appropriate ligands. In the current study, the electrocatalytic behaviour of palladium (II) metal complexes of sulphur based ligands have been investigated for efficient hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).

If you were to stop the first ten people you meet on a street and ask them, "Do you know where heaven is?" you would probably discover that they know very little about it and maybe nothing at all. Most of them, perhaps, would say, "Well, I know that it's up and that's about it." Now there's no good reason for such ignorance about heaven, friends. The Bible tells us many things concerning this wonderful subject. Today we plan to find out where heaven is and what it's like.
When the apostle Paul described his experience of being taken to heaven in vision, he said, "I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, ... such an one caught up to the third heaven ... he was caught up into paradise." 2 Corinthians 12:2-4. Now Paul was taken to the third heaven or paradise as he called it; therefore, there must be three heavens in all. The first heaven is the atmospheric heaven above the earth where the birds fly and the airplanes travel and the clouds float. The second heaven is the starry heaven that David speaks about in Psalm 19:1 where he says, "The heavens declare the glory of God." The third heaven is referred to in the Bible as the heaven of heavens. This is the place where God's throne is located, it's the paradise of God. In this beautiful paradise where God's throne is located, we're told in Revelation 22:1, 2 that there's "a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations."
Some say the Lord Jesus is coming to take the redeemed to this wonderful place to live for all eternity and that's true, friends, He is. In Revelation 1:7 we read, "Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him." And then in Matthew 24:30 we read, "And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory." Yes, all true Christians are looking for that event. Jesus promised to come again. He said, "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. ... I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." John 14:1-3. So Christ is now preparing mansions for us. He's getting that beautiful city ready so that we can have a place in His kingdom. Someday the heavens will split wide open and an innumerable host of angels will descend with God and Jesus Christ in the very center of them. They will come in a magnificent demonstration of power and glory to gather the redeemed. Won't it be a marvelous experience to be caught up with the angels in chariots of fire to meet the Lord in the air and to take that trip back to the Holy City, passing through the milky way system with the millions of blazing suns on all sides? The passage-way to paradise will seem diamond-studded. Beautiful colors like the rainbow will shine all about us.
In Revelation chapters 21 and 22 we have a description of heaven. If you want sweet dreams tonight, friends, read those chapters before you go to bed. I'll just read a little bit here. "And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife." Reading further, it says, "... he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel." Oh, isn't that a wonderful sight?! Walls clear as crystal; streets of transparent gold; the city sparkles with light as a stone most precious! The out-flashing splendor of God's glory shines through.
Again we read, "On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits." So the city had twelve huge magnificent gates, each one made of solid pearl. There are three gates on each side.
The city lies foursquare. The circumference is 12,000 furlongs. Now listen, friends, a furlong is one-eighth of a mile. Dividing 12,000 by 8, we discover that the city is 1500 miles in circumference. This would make it 375 miles on each side. To get some idea of the enormity of this city, let's consider some of the cities on our present world. There's New York City, for example, with its teeming millions. On the map it appears to be just a small spot. If the New Jerusalem were located where the city of New York is, it would not just be a small spot on the map but it would cover more than the entire state of New York. The city of London is just a wide spot in the road in comparison to this great Holy City. Why, friends, this tremendous city dwarfs anything we've seen in this world. There's nothing like it here. There are no homes in this earth that compare with the mansions of heaven. We may look yearningly at the beautiful estates of the wealthy here on this earth, but let's not forget there are more beautiful estates awaiting us in heaven than we can possibly see here if we're just faithful.
The wayfaring pilgrims that trudge through this world can't even imagine the magnificence and the marvelous sights that await the eyes of those who are saved. As we journey to this city, we shall suddenly see its rainbow glory and color way off in the distance, for the twelve foundations are made of twelve beautiful stones, precious stones of different colors. God has unlimited resources of precious jewels. I can just imagine as the saints come in view of the city, they're going to cry out, "Look! Look! There it is! The beautiful city of God. We're home at last!" Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 2:9, "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him." There will be flowers and trees of colors of the deepest hue and all in perfect symmetry. The flowers will never fade there. As we walk along the streets of transparent gold, they'll shine like mirrors. The reflection of the mansions and the beautiful flowers and trees will make us feel like we're just floating in the air in a wonderland of beauty.
I want to make it clear that there will be no cigarette stubs or tobacco juice spit on those sidewalks, friends. There will be no drunkards lying in the gutters. There will be no beer parlors or taverns. There will be no brothels or cheap show places along the streets of gold in the city of God. There will be no need for the sun to shine there either for we are told, "the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it." Revelation 21:23, 24. The light there will be brilliant but soft; it will never hurt our eyes; it will be pleasing and restful.
The greatest joy of all will be the privilege of living in the presence of our Saviour. In Revelation 22:3, it says, "And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads." Our fear of catastrophes will be forever ended. In Isaiah 60:18 we read, "Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise." We'll not fear wars, tornadoes, cyclones, hurricanes, earthquakes, fires, floods, and atomic bombs; in fact, then we'll not know what fear is anymore. Animosities and hatreds will all be gone; there will be no violence in God's city.
Will there be children in heaven? Of course. In Isaiah 11:6 it says, "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them." Yes, there will be children in heaven. That will make heaven a happy place. We would miss the joyful laughter of children, and they'll have pets there, the magnificent lion, the king of beasts, will be a beautiful pet. The sleek leopard will purr like a kitten. These creatures will not be blood-thirsty; they'll be just as tame as a lamb. The instinct to kill will be gone. And friends, parents will never need to fear the speeding automobiles that we're often so fearful about here. In fact, children will never be hit or injured in the streets. The hit-and-run driver of this world will be totally unknown in the city of God. There will be nothing to hurt or destroy in the space city of the future.
Some people are concerned about what they're going to look like in heaven. The ladies are usually interested in their appearance and spend quite a bit of time in front of the mirror. But don't smile at that now, there are some men who spend just about as much time in front of the mirror also. Well, you don't need to wonder any more friends, what you'll look like in heaven because in Philippians 3:20, 21 it tells us that we are going to look like Jesus. It says, "For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself." Isn't it thrilling to know that we're going to look like Jesus!
When we reach heaven, wherever we may travel through the universe of God, through those unnumbered worlds, we shall be recognized by the inhabitants of those worlds as the redeemed of this earth, redeemed by the blood of Jesus, because we'll look like Him. Perhaps they'll say when they see us, "There are some of those people who were redeemed by the blood of the Son of God. Can't you see, why they look like Jesus!"

ANT-MAN Set Visit: Kevin Feige Talks Expanding Mythology and More
by Matt Goldberg June 22, 2015
After watching so many Marvel movies over the year, it was very cool to finally have the chance to speak to the man behind the MCU, Kevin Feige. The Marvel Studios President has been the visionary behind one of cinema's greatest undertakings, and I was glad to pick his brain when other movie journalists and I got to visit the set of Ant-Man last year.
During our conversation with Feige, he covered a lot of ground including where the film fits into the MCU, its tone, how the script changed after Edgar Wright left the project, developing the characters, relation to The Avengers, all the work that went into the ants, and much more. Check out the full interview below.
What does this movie mean for Marvel, especially at the beginning?
KEVIN FEIGE: Well it's about continuing to expand the cinematic mythology, and continuing to bring new characters, not just sequels. I think that's what was great this year about Guardians [of the Galaxy]. That's what excites us about this. Even though they all are within the continuity of the MCU, and then the year after this, Doctor Strange, continuing to explore avenues that people have seen before and also remind people that this is a big universe. There's other stuff going on. And this very much has its roots grounded in the mythology of the cinematic universe and it's connected via Hank Pym, to a period of time that relates to Howard Stark, it relates to Peggy Carter, and to the early days – well, not even the early days – but sort of the mid-days of S.H.I.E.L.D. sort of in the late '80s, early '90s, which was a period we haven't seen of S.H.I.E.L.D.. We've seen kind of glimpses of it in news articles and things throughout the other films.
But this movie takes place in the present day for 96% of it and that was quite important to us. And he's an Avenger. And he and Wasp are on the cover of that first Avengers. We have – I don't know if they're around here, but in the offices of Disney we've got big blow-ups of Avengers No. 1. And I just love, you know, picking off the fact that each of those characters are finally coming to life, and two more will be hit in this movie.
When does this film take place chronologically compared to the other movies? Is this right after Avengers: Age of Ultron?
FEIGE: We don't exactly say. There's an indication that it's probably just after Ultron, just after Avengers 2. They all more or less take place within the chronology of the release of the movies. The exact months and the exact weeks are sometimes determined later.
What is it about Ant-Man that makes it right for release now versus something like Doctor Strange and did it have to do with having a script ready?
FEIGE: Well I think it's…a lot of it was timing. A lot of it was when the drafts were coming together. A lot of it is when we sort of solidified a plan to bring it to the screen. And also because we were getting into – after this year with Winter Soldier and Guardians – the new story on existing characters, and bringing in new characters, and falling into it. Which is what we did this year. Which is what we're gonna do next year and the year after. So it did sort of feel like the right rhythm to bring this guy to the screen. And…yeah, it was essentially ready to go.

Ant-Man is a weird character because Hank Pym pre-dates the Marvel superhero universe. He was introduced before there were even superheroes. And then Ant-Man himself has always been one of the supporting characters – Never really been able to maintain his own title. Why have Ant-Man as a solo movie at this point and not just sort of introduce him as you did with Hawkeye or Black Widow in a team scenario? Why does Ant-Man deserve his own movie?
FEIGE: Well I think a lot of it is based on sort of when… just what story we wanna tell. [Black] Widow fit into that version in Iron Man 2 and moving into Avengers 1. Hawkeye, I guess a little bit in Thor, but meeting him in Avengers 1. Because in Avengers 1 we wanted to meet a more populated universe of S.H.I.E.L.D. folks. Fury had just been this guy in the shadows, and we wanted to see his organization more populated and it made sense.
In this one it goes back to the first pitch we got from Edgar [Wright] and Joe [Cornish] in two thousand whatever it was, which as this history of him, independent of The Avengers, independent of a lot of his comic back story, and having a mentor and a mentee relationship. And it was unique then. It was a cool idea. It's even more unique now because we've made ten movies. And none of them feature that kind of a relationship. None of them have the passing of the mantle, which is much of what this movie is about.
And now, ten movies in, there is the history from what we saw in the Captain America films, what we saw of Tony Stark's father, his past in some of the Iron Man films. So, Hank can fit into that in an even more sort of logical way. And I think it's unique action that we haven't seen before in this kind of movie. And again, ten movies in, this will be eleven movies in. Having the opportunity to go to a place that we haven't done before and do a type of action and a type of specs we haven't done before.
It isn't just about getting bigger, but it's about getting clever and getting more unique. This movie gives that opportunity.
Cap 2 obviously has a spy thriller type feel, Thor was a little Shakespearean and Guardians is a new space opera of sorts – Going through this process so far with Peyton Reed and Paul Rudd, do we have a strong comedic tone with this?
FEIGE: Well, you've heard us say before, the genre that this is being incorporated with is a heist. [laughs] I was just gonna say, you saw Corey [Stoll's] line. I heard you guys were here, I was like, "that's the first line that…" [laughs] So, the fun – and when you guys walk around and see some things today – the fun of playing into the tropes of a heist film is cool.
In the same way that playing into '70s thrillers was fun in The Winter Soldier. So that very much is sort of the backbone of what's making this tonally unique. And again, I wouldn't say it's more comedy than our other films. You know, the first picture we released of Paul, and I think some of what you'll see today from Paul, is a much more serious version. That's why he was interested in doing the movie. That's why we were interested in showcasing him in a different way. And that's why Peyton is interested in this movie because he's always wanted to do a big superhero movie, and came close a few times.
So it's not like, "oh, it's the comedy guys. Let's bring 'em in." But certainly there will be humorous elements as there are in all of our films.
You talked about how this story is about the passing of the. How different is it to provide an origin story for a superhero where there's already all this built-in mythology inside the universe for him as opposed to someone like Iron Man or Captain America where it's really starting that mythology from point A?
FEIGE: Well it's been fun because…I mean there's a lot of back story to get across in this movie and what Hank did in his past. And we see some of it. We hear about a lot of it but it's not about the trial and error of inventing the Pym Particle. The Pym Particle is invented. He has been on adventures as Ant-Man, as we'll see in this movie beforehand. This is more about – frankly, we can focus more on the character stuff instead of the science stuff. To focus on this criminal. This smart guy. This good guy, Scott Lang, who's fallen into a life of crime because he's good at it and because it comes easy to him. And to see that journey and hopefully root for him to get his act together, to get back together with his daughters. He's the first Marvel hero to have a family, to have a kid, which is also unique and also fun. But I think it's fun to liberate us from the trial and error of creating a technology and more focus on the trial and error of a character's willingness to take on the mantle or ability to take on the mantle.
It's interesting because one of the things that really stood out in the Comic-Con footage was in Douglas' dialogue. He seems to have a real disdain for the idea of superheroes in general…
FEIGE: Totally.
…which I assume is earned from what we see of him in the past.
FEIGE: Yes. Yeah, he does not have a great experience with the people that he thinks are sort of running things today. And Howard [Stark] in particular, he had a not great encounter with in the past and that's why he hung it up. That's why he put it in a secured vault for decades and decades. And it's not until this movie that he has a reason to take it out again. And he needs to use it, not because he wants there to be another superhero named Ant-Man, but because he needs to pull off the heist. He needs to stop his villainous ex protégé from perpetuating this technology in nefarious ways.
Will we get to see the older suit in the film, from more the original comics?
FEIGE: This is the older suit. He's using the older suit.
Oh, he's using the older suit?
FEIGE: This is the older suit.
The other one sort of has like the piping around and like the more open eye-holes.
FEIGE: It's the same one, the costume that he uses in this movie is Hank's old costume…This is sort of our interpretation of that.
FEIGE: There's some suits you'll see in the past.
And the Yellowjacket suit is the next generation of that?
FEIGE: The Yellowjacket is what Darren Cross has built himself, yes, to utilize his version of the technology.
From the scene we saw, it looks like he's just a guy standing in clothes and he's then all of a sudden just the Yellowjacket suit. How does that transformation work?
FEIGE: Well, the notion here is he puts it on while we're outside the helicopter. While Ant-Man's hangin' outside the helicopter. So it's sort of a quick change.
Within the MCU, how much is the world aware of Ant-Man? Do they know about Hank Pym and what he was doing back in the day?
FEIGE: No. I think the notion is, sort of during the Cold War and just in the final days of the Cold War he was… Well from the '60s to the end of the Cold War he was operating as a secret agent for S.H.I.E.L.D.
FEIGE: So the world does not know much about him yet.
Do Avengers exist? Like is the word Avengers, is that what they were calling what he was doing? Is that…the label?
FEIGE: No. No. It was just S.H.I.E.L.D. It was very specific technology to S.H.I.E.L.D.. We reference Avengers in this movie with disdain that Hank has for them.
Douglas talked about how for him, one of the appeals in taking this was the idea that he'd never done green screen. He'd never done this kind of film. And it seems like you guys at this point have built enough of a reputation for how the cast get to play in things, that you can go to a Douglas now and offer him this brand new experience. Has he taken to it? Has it been something that he's really been able to acclimate to and enjoy?
FEIGE: Yeah, he's done some green screen still. As to the point.
BRAD WINDERBAUM: The bulk of his seedy stuff is coming.
FEIGE: Is coming, yeah. He's amazing in this movie. You'll see him tomorrow. He's crushing it. And it's really… I don't think people have seen him like this in a long time. He's playing older. He is older. He's playing even a little older than he actually is, but still powerful, and you watch him and you feel like, I haven't seen this guy in a long time. Liberace is awesome, and he deserves every award, but he's a totally different… What was amazing about that is he wasn't Michael Douglas at all.
He's very much the cool… We wanted to cast somebody who you would realistically believe could have… If we made an Ant-Man movie in the '70s or '80s, he could have played him. And some of the things we run into now, since he's so cool and so strong is, making sure it's clear why he's not just putting it on now and doing it himself. [laughs] We're constantly sort of running into needing to clarify why that is, but I think he has taken to it. He's got a lot of exposition to let Scott Lang know what had happened in the past and there was some trepidation, I think, about that early on. But we shot most of those scenes already.
And although he occasionally gives Brad [Winderbaum] a hard time… Anything else you wanted me to say, Brad? [laughs] Anything else you want me to clarify, Brad? Yeah. he killed it. I mean he really did an amazing job, and you believe it. You believe every word he's saying. so he's taken to it. And it is flattering and it is a responsibility that I think we take very seriously with any actor that joins up.

Corey Stoll, I don't know if you'll see it today, but the last couple weeks he's been wearing his mo-cap pajamas, which nobody feels comfortable in, and everybody feels- feels awkward in, but again, we know that they can do that and can put aside those concerns because they trust us that it's gonna look cool. At the end of the day we have ten movies to try to prove it, but we still don't take it for granted. We still then go, we'll spend the next nine months making sure that he looks awesome.
Speaking of Hank Pym, his most famous story in the comics is he beats his wife, he has multiple personality disorder and he kind of goes crazy. He becomes a villain. Obviously that's not gonna be where you go with the movie but is there that darkness in Hank in any way?
FEIGE: Sure. Sure. I mean in the same ways that there are hints that Tony drinks too much, without doing the full-on "demon in a bottle" storyline. We hinted at a temper in a way that people who know the stories might go, "oh, perhaps that's a bit of his character," but not in a way that would ever indicate that, you know. He has lost his wife in this and his wife, in many ways, caused him to separate from S.H.I.E.L.D. and cause him to become a bit of a recluse now.
But we do see a bit of that. We see a bit of that temper, we hear a bit about it, and there's a great line when he's having a confrontation with Corey Stoll, who used to be his protégé, who he took under his wing and became almost like a son to him in certain ways. And Corey Stoll, in a very cool, threatening way that leads into the finale says, you know, "why…?" He feels abandoned by him. "Why did you abandon me?" Essentially.
And [Pym] goes, "I took you in because I saw so much of myself in you." And then [Stoll] goes, "well, why did you leave me then?" And he goes, "I think I saw too much." And I love that line because people like you guys who know what he's done and what dark past he's had. Again, he is not a wife-beater in this movie and I doubt [laughs] will ever be, for God sakes.
Does he wear a wife-beater? [laughs]
FEIGE: [laughs] Yeah, he could pull it off. He could pull it off.
You mentioned earlier about Wasp being in the movie. How much is Wasp the superhero?
FEIGE: Please don't make a headline – Michael Douglas will now be a wife beater in Ant-Man! [laughs]
Wasp as a superhero in this movie. How much does that factor in it?
FEIGE: It factors in, in a number of spoiler-ish ways, but we will see Janet Van Dyne in action in this film. And part of sort of what happened to her. And then we will understand why that is the reason that he doesn't want his daughter to follow in those footsteps. One of the reasons why he's always so upset about superheroes in general, dismissive of them in general and also a reason why he doesn't want her to put on the suit.
Because another very logical question in the movie is, why are you hiring this ex-con to put on your suit and do this? The answer is, because he has abilities in cracking security networks and in pulling off heists that nobody else has. Which is really why he needs to do it. But Hope is infinitely more capable of actually being a superhero in the beginning of this film, and we learn sort of that that's ultimately when Hank reveals for the first time for the audience, and even the first time to Hope, what actually happened in the past and why he's so nervous about putting on that suit. But there are things that we see towards the end of the film that indicate she could, she could get one of her own.
Can you tell us who's playing the younger version of Hank and Janet?
FEIGE: Michael Douglas is playing the younger version of Hank, and we only see Janet when she's in the helmet. She's in the outfit. So you just sort of see eyes.
You mentioned the family element with the Scott Lang character. Can you talk a little bit about how that plays into it and how much focus that's gonna be?
FEIGE: Well it's quite a bit of the focus and it is almost the entirety of the motivation for Scott Lang to do this. We meet Scott Lang as he's getting released from prison for the first time. We figure he's been in for four or five years. His daughter is six. So he doesn't have much of a relationship with her, and he very much wants a relationship with her. But he can't hold down a job and he can't pay child support, and his wife has married a police officer, which just, you know, makes it all worse for him.
And that's the Bobby Cannavale character. Judy Greer is playing his ex-wife. And he begrudgingly, and is very upset about it, returns to a life of crime to try to get enough money to pay his child support, to be able to see his daughter. And ultimately that's what Hank sort of plays off of to try to pull him into his scheme. So, we have a number of what I think are very sweet scenes between Scott and his daughter.
It's also fun because the finale of this film, after the helicopter sequence that you see here ends. Our movies end with gigantic spectacle and Helicarriers falling out of the sky and…Avengers 2 is… [LAUGHTER] and even Guardians has a big sort of upper atmosphere space battle at the end. And I think people want to see that. I want to see that when I go to see a movie, an action movie, a summer movie, but we wanted to do it in a different way. And the finale, the entire finale of this film takes place in a little girl's bedroom, in a way that is, I hope, gonna be very unique. And you'll see little hints of it today as you walk around where everything you've seen up to this point in the movie with how, what the Yellowjacket can do, what the Ant-Man suit can do, what the Pym particles can do both to shrink things and to enlarge things, comes to a culmination in this little girl's room, in a way that I hope, I think, is gonna make it one of the most unique finales we've ever had.
Are we gonna see a lot of ants? Actual ants?
FEIGE: Yes.
Make a lot of ant jokes.
FEIGE: You are gonna see more ants than you probably wanna see [laughs] and in the beginning of the movie it's not dissimilar to the way I would talk about Rocket and Groot. There were some people that inherently just understood. A talking raccoon with a machine gun is cool. Right? Some people just inherently get that. A lot of people do not. And a lot of people went, so what? It's a raccoon? It's a tree? And I would go "yes, and you sort of laugh at the tree at the beginning, but by the end you really are gonna feel for the tree." And they went "okay."
In the same way, the ants at the beginning of the film, you see from a normal person's point of view and there's a couple of lines, just that are dismissed about there being an ant problem in Hank's house, or seeing some ants in a kitchen of this one-bedroom apartment where Scott Lang lives. And they should be gross sort of ants that you don't want in your kitchen. We reveal later that those ants are working for Hank. Hank's controlling those ants.
And they have little cameras built onto them that he's watching and surveying things with. By the end of the movie, and by the middle of the movie into the end of the movie a lot of the ants have personalities. And a lot of the ants become characters, not in a Pixar way, but hopefully in a photo-real, but slightly elevated kind of a way. So there's a flying ant that Scott befriends and scares the hell out of him in a certain scene. And by the end, as a matter of fact, the way he gets towards that helicopter is by sort of heroically riding him.
There are so many different kinds of ant species, and we're gonna see a good half dozen or dozen of them in this film, and I hope in a way that you're sort of cheering for them and upset if one, two or three get blown away by the bad guy. So, a lot of the animation that is being worked on now is riding that fine line between – get that off of me creepy ants, and sort of a heroic noble steed, which is, that kind of a flying ant that [Scott Lang] rides.
And again, it's the fun of the perspective shifts. When you see an ant down here or a whole line of 'em, it can get creepy. Also, Hank can control the ants and he eventually teaches Scott how to control the ants in a way that they become even more organized and regimented than you've ever seen in real life. And that also helps to take away sort of the creepy vibe and add sort of this bit of wonder. There's a sequence in the film where [Pym] is in his dining room in his Victorian-esque house in San Francisco and he's just brought Scott there for the first time and is beginning to fill Scott in on what's going on and what he wants Scott to do.
And he has offered Scott some tea and says, "oh, would you like a sugar?" He goes, "oh yes, please." And a couple ants are carrying a sugar cube over towards…and he goes, "no-no, no thanks." And the ant goes back. [laughs] And the entire time there's this beautifully designed black on blue pattern of the wallpaper. At a certain point Scott goes, "how do you make 'em do that?" And [Pym] describes how ants work. And the communication within ants.
And this little earpiece he has. And he says basically "I can go anywhere, I can do anything, I can see anything." And suddenly the pattern on the wallpaper moves and shifts, and you realize it's all ants, tiny little ants.
What's the name of the winged ant?
FEIGE: Who said he had a name?
He's a character.
FEIGE: Well, over the course of the movie Scott begins to give him a nickname, which may or may not be Antony. [laughs] Just play it for humor.
Can you talk about the ants and the preparation that went into not only the technology in the film, but research on actual ants?
FEIGE: Well there's a ton of documentaries about ants and their organization and what what they can really do which is mind-blowing stuff. There's a creepy movie called Phase 4, which some of you may or may not have seen which is sort of mind-blowing. And also good reference for macrophotography and what real ants can do. So there was a lot of research done on real ants so that we could incorporate them into it.
And some of it, a lot of it led directly into the film. There is a sequence where during the heist, Pym Industries, which you guys will see the very, very beginnings of tomorrow. Scott has to go through a water pipe to access another secured area of the facility. And in early designs, Hank had a World War II or Vietnam era, what do you call those ships? Just like a little troop ship that can hold, you know, say ten soldiers on it. And he had shrunk it down and that's what they used. But oddly, when your human is that big, your boat is that big, you're down at that angle and it's a big river, you lose scale. So we have ants crawling above 'cause there's always huge numbers of ants in support of Scott for his missions. So you sort of have the ants but when we saw some research, there's this amazing research with these fire ants. You may have seen. It sort of went around virally a few months ago. That or maybe that we just looked it up. But that ants operate as a liquid and a solid. Have you seen that stuff? Where clumps of ants can mold themselves and form themselves into…
Like ladders and stuff?
FEIGE: Well yes. If they can't reach something, we do that too. So now in the movie it's a raft built on these fire ants. And when he gets to the portion they connect each other and he can climb up it. And fire ants are very smooth and very red and look cool. We also realize that when you're down that small, it's the hairs that look really gross. [laughs] They make people go ewwwww, so and also the spindliness of the legs, so we've thickened the legs a little bit. We've brought down hair a little bit so that- so that when you're looking up at a giant ant, it's not completely horrifying.
Did you create a practical giant ant?
FEIGE: No. We haven't. Without insulting films of the past, there are many examples of a manufactured giant something that somebody's riding in front of a green screen and it just always looks like that. As cool as it would have been to have a giant ant thing to look at and ride, we're not actually building one.
What about a set?
FEIGE: We are doing scale sets. Well…we're not actually. What we're doing is, there's obviously a giant first unit that you'll see in this movie. There's a giant second unit on this movie. But, as a first for us, there's a giant macrophotography set on this movie. And I think you guys will walk down there right after this, maybe. And it is sort of amazing what they've done. And those are full scale. There's a craps table, there's a bunch of server boards. There's the inside of an ATM. All real, that we have these unbelievable macro lenses on, that we're filming. There's a bathtub that we're filming.
All of the photography, some of which will just be reference as we move it into visual effects, some of which will end up being plates that we actually use for when Ant-Man's that big. And it is pretty amazing. So when I walked down there the other day, they have a giant monitor and you'll see this, and they were going across a terrain that looked like there was a helicopter going above some giant buildings and lit up things.
And I go, "okay, where is that?" Oh, it's over here. And you move behind a curtain and it was about this big. With a giant motion control rig and a lens just going like that. There's a lot of sort of unique processes that they're using to gather all this stuff. There's not an incredible shrinking woman giant telephone, or giant pencil or anything like that because we'll put him into those actual environments.
When you're casting a film like this, you've got sort of twin concerns. First you have the stand alone movie and the chemistry of people here. But then when you're casting Scott or when you're casting Doctor Strange for the next one, you also have to be thinking about how they're eventually going to fit into your larger ensemble and your larger universe. Is the excitement, once you finish this, then figuring out when you get to use these people opposite characters we already know and love?
FEIGE: Yeah, I mean we know that pretty much already. But it is fun in casting to think, like for instance, we were casting Peter Quill. We wanted somebody that could carry Guardians, somebody that could surprise audiences and be that charming Star-Lord character. But also we'd always say, some day maybe he'll have to go head-to-head with Downey.
So you have to cast fast…
FEIGE: Yeah, yeah, someday this guy is gonna have to do a scene. This guy, this girl will have to do scenes with with the other actors. I don't know when that will be necessarily – yes I do… [laughs] But…BUT…even it just being a rallying cry for us saying, you know, there is a bar and all of the casting – if we can – needs to meet or exceed that.
Speaking of that, it seems like now that you're introducing characters, newer characters that maybe the general public is less aware of, that these origin stories, these first films almost have an added weight to them in terms of importance. That they have to not only introduce them, but sell them because we're probably always going to be seeing these people down the line. Tell me about how the vibe changed about how to do a first film?
FEIGE: Well, yeah, I think it's what we've always tried to do, is just find a unique way in, and find a unique way to be true to what the character is from the comics and what fans are aware of and expecting. And at the same time do it in a way that mainstream audiences and as wide an audience as possible can find their own way into it. I guess with the more recent films, the pressure is a little less because nothing can beat the pressure of making and casting Thor, making and casting Loki, making and casting Captain America – knowing that Avengers was coming, no matter what. And starting production on Avengers 1 before those other films had been released, and before audiences had told us, "oh, we love those guys, can we see 'em again?" Because if you didn't love them, you're gonna see 'em again anyway. [laughs] which was cause for concern. But again, we just plowed ahead.
So the same way – yeah. If audiences don't connect to any of these characters it'll be a bummer, mainly just if the movie doesn't work it would be a bummer, but we do expect to see these characters down the line again, so it's that same sort of, "let's do the best job we can of introducing the character." And doing it in a way that audiences want to see him again.
You guys and Edgar Wright parted wars very late in the process. At that time was there a sense of like concern or panic? And then how did you decide that Peyton [Reed] was the guy to pick it up and take it all the way home?
FEIGE: Well the concern or panic was that we weren't gonna make the movie we all wanted to make together. That was where the panic set in – That we were heading toward something that none of us would be pleased with. So in a way, when we decided to move away, it was a relief that we weren't gonna make a big mistake together. And Peyton, as I'm sure you know, I worked with many, many years ago on a version of Fantastic Four at Fox that ended up not happening, and I liked him very, very much and it was my early days at Marvel.
And he's one of the first filmmakers that I really spent a lot of time with. And spent a lot of time developing a script with, and developing a movie which ultimately didn't happen with. But I always had very fond memories of that and a desire to work with him again once we became our own studio. And we came close a few times and he's okay with me saying that he was, you know, it came down to he and James Gunn on Guardians. So when this opportunity arose, and he was available and he was intrigued.
And it wasn't until we brought him in, talked about, you know, what we had done on the film, what we wanted to do on the film, and he saw his way into how he could add his voice to the film. And many of what are my favorite moments in this movie did not exist eight months ago and came to the table with with Peyton and with McKay and with Rudd – who you should talk to a lot, 'cause Rudd is… I won't say an unsung hero 'cause he's gonna be the face of this movie, but also in terms of, it was he and McKay who were writing together.
And Paul is still doing a lot of writing on the movie and doing an unbelievable job. And again, some of my favorite ideas, and whole new sort of concepts which plug right into elements from the comics were not in until McKay and Peyton and Rudd brought them, brought them to us. One of which is a part of the finale that… Anybody remember the old ride "Adventures Thru Inner Space" at Disneyland?
Sure. Mm-hm.
FEIGE: We're doing an homage to that which is super, super cool. So it became and it is now, halfway through. I don't wanna jinx it, but it is going incredibly well. And yes, there were a chaotic two, three weeks, whatever that was, but we believed in the cast. We believed in the idea. We believed in much of the work that had been done before and thankfully Peyton came in and jumped in with both feet and with great confidence and has led us to this point. And I'm assuming, hoping, will lead us to the end.

Galaxy S10 Lite Specs On Geekbench Paint A Baffling Picture
By Ewdison Then/Oct. 30, 2019 8:26 pm EST
All of Samsung's 2019 flagships, including the Galaxy Fold, are out in the market and it seems that Samsung is winding down a bit and working steadily on getting Android 10 to those phones. That said, the company is believed to be preparing "lite" versions of its two flagships, among other phones. One of those, believed to be the Galaxy S10 Lite, has popped up on Geekbench with some very basic details. Those, however, could leave some scratching their heads in trying to make sense of Samsung's strategy in the grand scheme of things.
Samsung is no stranger to "mini" or "lite" versions of its flagships but it seemed to have stopped that practice a few releases ago. Firstly, the Galaxy A series as mostly taken the place of lite premium phones. Secondly, the Galaxy S10e this year, in particular, already offered a more affordable version of the early 2019 flagship.
In light of those factors, the existence of this SM-G770F is a curious oddity. It is believed to be the so-called Galaxy S10 Lite and it does seem to have some impressive specs worthy of that name. Geekbench puts a Snapdragon 855 processor inside along with 8 GB of RAM. Sounds all good except the Galaxy S10, a.k.a. the SM-G970 line, already has those same specs.
In fact, the 8 GB RAM puts it above the Galaxy S10e, the original "Lite" version of the Galaxy S10. This would imply that the Galaxy S10 Lite slots in between the Galaxy S10e and main Galaxy S10, perhaps for markets where the Galaxy S10e isn't available.
Just as puzzling though only slightly, the phone is shown running Android 10 out of the box. Given Samsung still hasn't rolled out the final version of One UI 2 and Android 10 to its current flagships, it's unlikely it will launch a new Android 10 phone before that happens. If so, then this Galaxy S10 Lite probably won't be launching until next year, around the time a new Galaxy S11 and new Galaxy A phones, one of which sounds a lot like the Galaxy S10 Lite, will be announced.

EURUSD bounced off the demand roadbump as predicted last week.
The current level of supply looks weak, and there is a good chance it will be breached to take out stops above.
With that in mind, I will be looking for intraday longs up to higher stronger supply and swing shorts from there.

Q: Unable to save event on iPhone's eventkit I keep getting an error when I try to set my startDate and endDate. What am I doing wrong here? Here's my code:
EKEventStore *eventStore = [[EKEventStore alloc] init];
EKEvent *newEvent = [EKEvent eventWithEventStore:eventStore];

NSDateFormatter *   dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd:HH:mm"];

NSString *fechainicio = @"2011-04-13:22:30";
NSString *fechafin = @"2011-04-14:24:00";

NSDate * date = [[NSDate alloc] init];
date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:fechainicio];
NSDate * date2 = [[NSDate alloc] init];
date2 = [dateFormatter dateFromString:fechafin];

[date2 retain];
[date retain];
[fechainicio retain];
[fechafin retain];

newEvent.title = @"title";
newEvent.startDate = date;
newEvent.endDate = date2;

[newEvent setCalendar:[eventStore defaultCalendarForNewEvents]];
NSError *err;
[eventStore saveEvent:newEvent span:EKSpanThisEvent error:&err];

if (err != nil)
{
    NSLog(@"error");
}

I surely hope someone can help me with this error, it's driving me crazy XD. Thanks.

A: NSString *fechainicio = @"2011-04-13:22:30";
NSString *fechafin = @"2011-04-14:24:00";

Are you sure these dates are formatted correctly? Is that third value the date of the month or the hour of the time? These are probably invalid, although I'm not sure why you're not seeing that in the logged error...

One of the most common types of adoption is a stepparent adoption. Often times, and for many reasons, one parent is no longer in a child's life – or not very often. In Arkansas, when a stepparent asks the court to grant an adoption of the stepchildren, the permission of the natural parent isn't required if that parent has not, without justifiable excuse, either (1) had significant contact with the minor child(ren) for a period of at least twelve months, or (2) paid child court-ordered child support to the custodial parent for a period of at least twelve months.
An "open adoption" is one where the adoptive family knows one or both of the biological parents, and the parents often play some role in the child's life as they grow up. These types of adoptions are typical in family adoptive situations, such as when the grandparents will adopt the baby of a young mother, or when a parent has passed away and that parent's relatives step in to help raise the kids. However, even adoptive parents who don't yet know the natural parents can establish an open adoption, if that is desired by both parties. We can help you make the decision that is best for your family.
An "closed adoption" is one where neither the adoptive parents nor the natural parents know the identity of the other. Often, hospital staff of Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs), along with the attorney(s) involved in the case, can act as intermediaries in order to facilitate the introduction of the adoptive parents and child, as well as any home studies or other services which may be required by the court. As with all adoption proceedings, closed adoption records are sealed with the court, and may only be opened and viewed with a court order.

Q: How to run a VirtualBox VM on Windows through SSH I have an Ubuntu server virtual machine on my Windows box, I am able to run VirtualBox on my Windows machine without problems, and then I can SSH into the newly created server. However what I am trying to do is to SSH into my Windows machine (I have an SSH server installed) and start VirtualBox by running the following commands:
cd C:/Program Files/oracle/virtualbox
virtualbox --vm <virtual machine ID>

The machine ID I use is the same as the one used when you create a shortcut using the VirtualBox machine manager.
When I do this the GUI for the VM does not appear. Checking the Task Manager Processes tab I am only able to see the VirtualBox process if I click Show all users, however the process shown is run under the same user name as my account.
Trying to do an SSH connection to the new server does not work. And doing a ping scan of my network using nmap does not seem to show any new hosts.
I would like to add that using the same commands as above straight in to the Windows command prompt starts the VM with no problems.
EDIT
I have followed instructions and changed virtualbox to VBoxHeadless --startvm 8b2db
9b3-5907-431f-b25c-44ea9cade05d
Doing this through ssh gives me the error:
Invalid machine name or UUID!
however the UUID is the same as the one used in my shortcut on my desktop, and simply double clicking the .bat file runs fine.
I suspect the problem may be being caused by my ssh server being run under an administrative context.  I'm using "bitvise ssh server"
Further inspection has shown that in windows command prompt i can VBoxMange list vms in both standard user and as an administrator.  However running it in cygwin gives no results, and running it through ssh, whether in the cygwin terminal or command prompt, returns nothing.

A: Well then, if it worked for you, why not make it an answer. (:
The solution to use VirtualBox without a GUI is VBoxHeadless. Although there are more comfortable options, like phpVirtualBox.
VBoxHeadless works in conjunction with VBoxManage to provide a complete interface to VirtualBox' functions. To start VMs, they need to be registered. Registered VMs can be listed with VBoxManage list vms.

A: *

*Check if the Folder:
C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile.VirtualBox
exists. If this folder inherits only logfiles - delete the whole folder or move it to a new position

*Now Link the correct folder to this position from a commandline (yes its possible with ntfs):
mklink /j C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile.VirtualBox C:\Users\Administrator.VirtualBox
(replace Administrator with the accountname you are running your virtual machines)

The ssh shell uses the folder C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile.VirtualBox as its virtualbox folder while the usual admin login uses C:\Users\Administrator.VirtualBox.
If you are ok with managing your virtualbox machines via a commandline, you could just move the files from C:\Users\Administrator.VirtualBox to C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile.VirtualBox and ignore the link above.

Hank Aaron boosts film on South's first integrated Little League game
September 17, 2018 - by Coach - Leave a Comment
Growing up in Alabama, Hank Aaron didn't play Little League baseball.
And in 1955 he was just beginning his professional career, playing his second season with the Milwaukee Braves.
So it makes sense that in the days long before the internet and social media, one of the greatest baseball players of all time was unaware of one of the most important games ever played in the history of the sport.
The contest was a Little League game that occurred on Aug. 9, 1955 in Orlando, Florida. An all-black team, the Pensacola Jaycees, faced off against the Orlando Kiwanis, an all-white team. It marked the first time in the Jim Crow South that an integrated Little League baseball game took place.
Looking for the best online training for your hitter...Check this program out!!!
"My reaction was that, it couldn't have happened. And yet, you think about it and you say, 'It did happen.' It did happen, and it happened for real," Aaron said Saturday at the Carter Center in Atlanta. "… I guess I was so involved with my own career, but I've come to learn about that game and love it, for what it stands for."
But Aaron isn't alone in not being aware of this historic game. Even the players involved didn't know its significance at the time.
To them, it was just another opportunity to play ball.
"We had no idea we were making history. I didn't have a clue until 61 years later," said Stewart Hall, the first baseman for the Kiwanis. "I didn't know we were the first white team to play a black team. We just kind of went on with our lives."
If you want to increase velocity take a look at this program...
After being overlooked for 63 years, the story of this extraordinary meeting is finally being told. Aaron and Hall are among those featured in a documentary about the game, "Long Time Coming: A 1955 Baseball Story."

I know its something to do with the 'Resolve Project Problems', is there a way to prevent this when distributing to another machine
I have already tried adding a library to the distribution folder, it carries over but doesn't do anything with it

We are an extended family with different duties to help you have a wonderful time - head helper, porters, cook.
Carrying the gear, tents and food is our main task and we like to get to the next camping place before you. It's easy for us - we have been there before and we are used to lugging big packs up a mountain.
You would not find it so easy because of the heat and the altitude, particularly as we reach the higher plateaus. So don't feel bad about our poor backs . . . if you do not come we won't be able to climb. Then we would have to stay at home with our wives and then what? You could be the cause of marital breakdown, African style!
None of us liked the photographs of our portraits in the next section. Evans took them so he is to blame. We are really nice quiet people who just want to make sure you have a great time. And unlike in the photographs we smile a lot!
GoToMountKenya has created informal employment opportunities for many young Kenyans who have now got something to do with their time. Most of us have young families and have to work hard to improve our lives. In a rough estimate, a group of five climbers going up the mountain supports about 30 family members directly and indirectly. . .
GoToMountKenya has a group of 20 helpers. By doing a trip with us you help the citizens of our country, who reside in the rural areas, uplift their standards of living. You also give us a chance to do something about conserving the environment which is ultimately our livelihood.

The Dischmabach is a river of approximately 15 km long in the river system of Albula.  It drains the Dischma valley, its catchment area lies mainly in the area of the Swiss municipality of Davos.

The source Dischmabach has two equal headwaters.  The one on the National Map of Switzerland is a creek without a registered name and has its headwaters in the area of the Scaletta Pass ().  The other headwater is called Furggabach and has its headwaters on Fuorcla Grialetsch at .  The confluence of the two headwaters is at Dürrboden.  Then the Dischmabach flows in a northwesterly direction through the elongated and gently sloping Dischma valley and flows into the Landwasser between Davos Dorf and Davos Platz.

Within the Posterior Rhine system, the sources of Dischmabach are about 72 km from the confluence of the Anterior and Posterior Rhine.  Only the headwaters Rein da Medel, Rein da Maighels and Rein da Curnera in the Vorderrhein system are further away from this confluence (about 74–76 km).  Thus the Dischmabach is, in terms of length, one of the most important headwaters of the Rhine (see also sources of the Rhine).

Organic matter is essential to good plant development. The difference between a Top soil and sub soil is organic matter. Organic matter in soil allows air water and nutrients to enter the root zone of the plants we are growing and holds it there for later consumption by the plant. Topsoil is only topsoil because of years of organic matter residues left behind by the plants growing in it. In an urban environment we tend to clean up this organic residue in the form of raking leaves and bagging our grass clippings. If we fail to replenish organic matter as it breaks down then the quality of our soils is going to decrease as a result. Organic fertilizers and dressing replenish this organic matter as it breaks down and feeds your plants at the same time.
We offer a great top dressing that can be spread on your lawn to add organic matter.
