In Syria, A Tense Election Day With Winner Little In Doubt
Published June 3, 2014 at 1:08 PM PDT
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Audie Cornish.
I'm Robert Siegel. And we begin this hour in Syria, in the midst of a wartime election with a foregone conclusion. Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad urged voters to the ballot box for a presidential election that is expected to lead to his third seven-year term. Polls opened early this morning, though not in rebel-held areas where opposition groups condemned the vote. In a moment, we'll have more on what effect this election could have on the long-running conflict in Syria.
CORNISH: But first more on how the day unfolded at the polls. Sam Dagher of The Wall Street Journal is in Damascus and joins us now. And, Sam, talk a little bit about what you saw today. What was the scene like at the polling stations?
SAM DAGHER: What I saw was people chanting, dancing. Even election workers doing the same salute. It was more an occasion for a lot of these supporters to come out and show their support for Mr. Assad. And I also witnessed and recorded a number of violations - serious violations at a lot of these polling stations, where I saw election workers calling their relatives and recording their national ID numbers because here you need your national ID to vote. And these election workers were telling their relatives, you know, we can vote on your behalf. You don't have to come. We will, you know, stuff ballots into the box.
CORNISH: Now, you've reported this stuffing of ballot boxes and this group voting. What was the response from the Assad regime's election officials to these allegations?
DAGHER: Well, I contacted an advisor to the Minister of Interior. And she said these were serious allegations, that they were taking them very seriously, but that one should look at the big picture. That this is, you know, the first step for, you know, a democratic process in Syria, and it was going to take time. And the people were not used to this because you have to remember, you know, when the Assad family took over power in Syria in 1971, Mr. Assad's father, Hafez al-Assad - it's been referendums ever since. And this is the first time they have candidates running against the president, so to speak.
CORNISH: You talked about there being a lot of pro-Assad supporters turning out. But was it always clear that was the case? Did you talk to voters who felt pressured to vote by the government?
DAGHER: Yes. I mean, I talked to a lot of these voters in Homs. And there I spoke to a number of people, and they told me that - for instance, a government employee said she was under tremendous pressure from her employer to vote, as well as from pro-regime militia men, who were stationed in her neighborhood. They were going door by door, telling people to put up posters of Mr. Assad and to make sure they come out today to vote.
CORNISH: We've heard that polling is open until midnight, that hours were extended. Can you talk about the reasons why? If everyone thinks it's a foregone conclusion, the answer - why more hours?
DAGHER: Well, I think it's - I mean, I was just out now for a couple hours, after the voting was extended. And I can tell you, the streets of Damascus are deserted. People are afraid of these mortars that are - that have been raining on Damascus all day. And we're told they're being fired from the rebel-held areas around the city. And also, I went into a couple of these polling stations at night, and they were empty. And some of the election, you know, workers there said there was no reason for this extension.
CORNISH: Sam Dagher - he's a reporter for The Wall Street Journal. He joined us from Damascus. Thank you so much for speaking with us.
DAGHER: Sure. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Krag Collectors Association Forum › General › Chit-Chat (for poking fun and off topic subjects) › Free Krags For Everybody!!!!!
Back in 1913 The National Defense League was organized in Washington, D.C. by Congressmen and others concerned about the preparedness of the U.S.A. in case of war. In 1914 this organization acquired 313,000 Krag Jorgensen magazine rifles through a House bill (the Kahn bill). These rifles were in the arsenals and this bill allowed the rifles to be given out free to gun clubs with more than 10 members along with ammunition. They could even be issued to gun clubs in public schools. I am not sure just how many went out of the arsenals in this manner, but the U.S.A.'s entry into The Great War required all available Krags negating the "free rifles" program, I assume.
Below is an article from "Journal of the United States Artillery".

Q: Getting the Object Type from a Shared Pointer in C++ Is there a way to get the object type from a shared pointer? Suppose:
auto p = std::make_shared<std::string>("HELLO");

I want to get the string type from p i.e. something like:
p::element_type s = std::string("HELLO");

meaning: p::element_type is a std::string.
Thanks!

A: shared_ptr::element_type gives you the type held by the shared_ptr; you can access this type from p using the decltype specifier. For example:
int main()
{
    auto p = std::make_shared<std::string>("HELLO");
    decltype(p)::element_type t = "WORLD"; // t is a std::string
    std::cout << *p << " " << t << std::endl;
}

A: as you've probably seen, per cppreference, std::shared_ptr has a type alias member_type = std::remove_extent_t<T>.
to access it, you can do something like
auto p = std::make_shared<std::string>("hello");
decltype(p)::element_type s = std::string{"heya"};

the type alias is associated to the class itself, not the specific member!

Q: How can I disable animation from Up navigation? I have a Restaurants parent activity and a Menu child activity. I've implemented Up navigation from Menu to Restaurant. I'm trying to get rid of the Menu activity's exit animation (slides down). I've only been able to find help on using custom animations using overridePendingTransition(). I've tried using overridePendingTransition(0,0) for no animation, but the child activity still animates. I've tried using NavUtils methods requiring intent arguments and adding FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_ANIMATION to the intent, but that didn't work either. Does anyone know of a way to go back to the parent activity with no animation?
Thanks in advance for the help!

A: I found the answer here. overridePendingTransition() has to be called IMMEDIATELY after the statement calling the next activity. In the case of using Up navigation, immediately after calling NavUtils.navigateUpFromSameTask(this);. Using overridePendingTransition(0,0) rids of any animation.

Flat-Bar Road Bicycles have most of the advantages of regular road bikes--lightweight frames and relatively narrow tires for efficiency on pavement--with a flat or upright handlebar. These bikes are designed for people who want a light, high-performance bike, but don't like the drop-handlebar riding position of a regular road bike. These bicycles are sometimes called fitness bikes or performance hybrid bikes. Most of them can accept somewhat wider tires, to make them suitable for use on unpaved trails. They also have the ability to mount cargo racks and fenders, which make them good commuter bikes.
We carry Trek's FX series of fitness hybrids in various performance levels in both men's and women's fits.
Dual Sport bikes blend the fit and agility of a fitness hybrid with the function and stability of a mountain bike to result in the ideal bike for cruising dirt roads and gravel paths.
We carry the Trek DS series for men's sizing, and the Trek Neko for women's sizing.
Comfort hybrids prioritize rider comfort over all else. These bikes have wide, cushy saddles and an upright riding position. Many of these bikes sport a step-through frame to make it easier to mount and dismount the bike.
We carry the Trek Verve and Shift ranges in both men's and women's sizing.
Townies take the general concept of comfort hybrids and infuse them with the style of classic cruiser bikes. These bikes are fun, stylish, and comfortable. They also feature a special flat-foot design that allows the rider to rest with both feet flat on the ground while maintaining proper leg extension for pedaling, making these some of the most stable bikes in our lineup.
We carry Electra Townies in 3 speed, 7 speed, and 21 speed varieties in both men's and women's sizing.
Click on the links to the left to learn more about the bikes we carry. As always, feel free to come by and test ride any bikes that you are interested in.

James L. Brooks' Oscar-winning As Good As It Gets marks the 25th anniversary of the romantic dramedy's 1997 theatrical release. Poor Verdell. That's what happens when you pee in the lobby and piss off a neighbor. No dog deserves to be dumped in the dumpster! But in all seriousness, the dogs playing Verdell end up stealing the show and force Jack Nicholson into playing the straight man to the pooch. I wouldn't have it any…

The Departed continues filmmaker Martin Scorsese's trend of making at least one motion picture masterpiece per decade–this time, winning an Oscar. Even though the film adapts a story from another country, the filmmakers still find a way to tie it to Boston. This is one of the best ideas to go into the film. For all intents and purposes, mob boss Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson) is Whitey Bulger. Basically, the film deals with crime and…

Often times, sun damage can easily be treated on lighter skin types with patients that have concerns with pigmentation. However, melasma needs to be treated differently, as it is typically hormone related and is triggered/darkens from things besides the sun such as heat, stress, and hormone fluctuations. Since heat is one of the main triggers of melasma, IPL generates heat in the skin which can cause a "rebound effect," and can cause the pigmentation to darken. Chemical peels can dramatically fade melasma, especially with the help of an at-home pigment suppressor and Retinoid such as SkinMedica's Lytera 2.0 and Retinol Complex. Typically, a series of 3-6 chemical peels are needed depending of the severity of the pigmentation and the desired outcome.

SITA signs technology deal with EADS
SITA has signed a deal with Airbus parent EADS to provide integrated mobile radio and IT solutions to the airport industry.
By Barbara Cockburn Published November 21, 2006
SITA has signed a deal with Airbus parent EADS to provide integrated mobile radio and IT solutions to the airport industry. The deal, which aims to improve aircraft turnaround times, comes as airports and airlines are under increasing pressure to do more, quickly and cheaply, especially following the emergence of low cost carriers and current rising fuel prices. According to an EADS statement, the solution will ensure improvements in the flow of information, which is an important requirement of airports to optimise the process chain, from arrival to departure, or turnaround of aircraft. "This is a major step in assisting the airport industry to manage a huge increase in passenger volume and safety, which is a major challenge of the 21st century," said Jean-Marc Nasr, head of EADS Secure Networks. "After a detailed analysis, we chose to go for a close cooperation with SITA."

Veterans for peace was founded in 1985 to increase the public awareness of the total costs of war.
The heart of VFP's work is carried out by our 100+ chapters in the U.S. and Vietnam. Members determine the most effective way to carry out this work in their community.
Veterans for Peace also believes and exists to restrain our government from intervening in the internal affairs of other nations. End the arms race. Reduce, and eventually eliminate, nuclear weapons. Seek justice for veterans and victims of war. Abolish war as an instrument of national policy. We attempt to accomplish our mission through public displays such as marching in parades, our memorial displays on Veteran's Day and Memorial Day in the open area in Traverse City and speaking out against war in public places. We proudly wear our Chapter 50 T-shirts. We also attempt to be present at schools to present a more realistic image of military service with no disrespect to Service branch Recruiters.

I am making a photo inventory for our church, each page documenting a room, to be used from a DVD (not online). VSD freezes up on saving which I blame on the very large quantity of images. I though if I could break up the pages into 3 or 4 "sites", I could afterwards link them together and I may get around this "saving" problem. I soon realized that every "site" would have an IMG_1.jpg, IMG_2.jpg, etc., which prevents link (in the same folder anyway).
SUGGESTION: If the generated image files were prefixed with the letters derived from the site name or individual page names 2 or more site could be linked together easily.
Sad to see it looks like VSD is not going anywhere by the looks of things in this thread. The problem with that is you get used to using software and then the carpet is pulled out from under you. That is why the big boys are the big boys.
For VSD though, in case there is any chance it is not dead in the water, the alignment process needs help. There should be a tool box window that will open just like the windows open for page - object - link - ect. The align choices hould all be in there plus "center to each other" too. Also the Add vertical and horizontal guide lines and the commands to use them should all be in that box.
For VSD, there should be a "Page Colors" or Web Colors" that keeps the colors you used so far in that web site and allows you to choose from them.
For VSD - ability to lock an object in place so it does not move.
Tell people you can select multiple objects by holding the SHIFT KEY down and clicking, and unselect single objects from multiple selections by holding the CONTROL KEY down instead. I have seen comments on having to start all over to select multiple objects when a wrong choice is made but no one seems to have commented you can use the CONTROL KEY to unselect only one of those objects if need be and you "miss" by accident. Very handy when "scoop selecting" by surrounding an area and you want to leave something out.
I believe a 15 year run is awesome for ANY software. To improve VSD to todays web standards and responsive design would take years of code production and would mean that the price for the new and improved VSD would be in the ball park of $900 per license. I am sure that you would not be willing to pay that much. Which is why we are currently developing a Responsive program that can assist in designing your entire website. It will not be WYSIWYG but it is close to it!
We have hardwood not carpet as you can still use VSD even on Windows 8.1. It still creates the same websites you are used to and still has an amazing price.
Sign up for our newsletter and you will hear all about it soon.
When will there be an update two VSD , or just some new templates. I would like some new themes with solid background and actual page on top! I know tiere is a work around on that, but have not been able to acomplish this.
With the release of Responsive Layout Maker and soon our Responsive Site Designer, there will be no further updates to VSD. It had a good life, but the old'girl is now ready to retire.
Has anyone integrated a Menu creation system in VSD yet?. Not not be a jerk, but has ANYONE seen a site without a menu? I would think for something (a piece of commercial software over $100) to be named Site Designer should have the ability to add menus - and responsive ones at that. A site without a menu is called a webpage - not a site.
I have just about all of Coffee Cup's software and been a customer for years. You shouldn't have to buy or have to hodgepodge 5 pieces of software together to make something work. A Visual Site Designer should do just that - give you the ability to visually create an entire website, not just a webpage without a menu. And yes - I also own Menu Builder and RSD.
A good start would be to integrate Menu Builder into VSD. I've been programming for 23+ years in C++, Delphi and several other languages. For a Visual Site Designer, I don't want to have to screw around with JS to do something as common as a making a menu. As I said, a site without a menu is called a webpage.
I love the sites that people are creating here and there are some brilliant web designers on this site. I have looked at your stuff Eric and it's great work as well. Maybe I'm old school? I don't know. Right now I'm using XARA WD11 Premium, because it makes responsive menus in a snap. I would LOVE to switch to RSD, because of the wonderfully clean code it generates.

Tadpole "Too Hard"
"Too Hard" was the first single off Tadpole's third and final album. It's a lot more upbeat than the gloomier tracks that were coming off second album The Medusa. This time around, Tadpole seem to be influenced by the rock 'n' roll revival that was a thing in the early 2000s. But the crunchier guitar sound is an odd match for Renee's jazzy pop vocal style and over all it sounds like a band that's lost its way.
The Wikipedia article for the self-titled third album tragically notes that "The album's launch party in Auckland was also the band's final ever performance." The NZOA database has funding for two further videos, but I haven't been able to find them online. So in a way, "Too Hard" marks the end of Tadpole's video life. Their videography from the late '90s and early '00s was strong and they seem like just the sort of world-famous-in-New-Zealand group that would be a perfect match for NZ On Air funding.
So, what does Tadpole's video swansong look like? A drag race. It's a Ford versus Holden race, which I believe has some sort of cultural significance within the bogan/petrolhead community.
The drag race isn't especially thrilling. It's like those car ads that feature a disclaimer saying that the ad was "filmed on a closed road under controlled conditions". Except the "Too Hard" race is so uneventful that it makes the sight of an Audi snaking around scenic Otago roads seem as thrilling as the drag race from Grease and/or the chariot race from Ben Hur.
When they're not in the cars, we see Tadpole rocking out on a stage near the race scene, both at daytime and night. As has happened in some previous Tadpole videos, "Too Hard" is largely focused on Renee, looking super cool in rockabilly styles with new dark hair.
The band's previous few videos from 2001 were all based on fantasy worlds, so it's really refreshing to see Tadpole get back to their rockier side. Renee is full of energy and seems to have unleashed years of pent-up rock power in that one video.
It feels like a good place for the Tadpole story to end. They didn't quite go out when they were on top, but as a rockstravagant drag race is a good enough finale.
Best bit: Renee's sneering drag-race face to the other car's driver.

Tadpole "Rock 'n' Roll"
"I like the girly things, I like to feel pretty" sings Renee, in this rage against stereotypes. With the last few Tadpole videos having been for pretty sedate songs, it's nice to experience Tadpole embracing their rockier side. But because of the subject matter, this song feels like a bit of pastiche. The band being as rock-rock-rock as they can be to show that while Renee might be a bit of a nana who likes an early night, the band can still rock out when required.
So the video follows this path, showing the band at a live gig. It's all looking pretty grunty, and Renee swaggers about the stage like a boss. But if you look close, she has these funny little white mesh puffy things atop her black singlet, which seems like something out of Astar's craft segment on Good Morning.
This rockstravaganza progresses for about two-thirds of the video. But then suddenly things get very interesting. The band jumps on a plane and flies to East Timor to provide entertainment for New Zealand defence force personnel stationed there.
There's a bit of footage of island life, a welcoming haka by the troops and the chance to hang out with some tanks. Then the band hit the stage. There are no fairy wings this time. Renee is sensibly dressed in a singlet and cargo pants.
All the East Timor footage is a million times more interesting than the generic Tadpole concert footage at the beginning. I'd much rather the video had taken spent more time there, rather than tacking it on the end like a postscript.
Best bit: the travel map, tracking the band's north-western journey.

Missing videos from 2002
Tadpole "Now Today Forever"
The lone missing video for the February funding round is "Now Today Forever", the second single from Tadpole's second album, and a rather driving rock number.
Nga Taonga Sound & Vision
Che Fu "Top Floor"
There's also only one video missing from April, Che Fu's uplifting number "Top Floor". As it happens, I wrote a summary of this video in 2002. It sounds amazing:
Che Fu and his posse are hanging out on the front porch of a large wooden lodge. A young lady hands out pieces of chocolate cake and MC OJ and the Rhythm Slave pass out cups of instant coffee. With a very laid-back vibe, Che Fu spends most of the video sitting in a rocking chair, knitting. But just in case you think he's turning into an old gran, in the middle of a song he turns into a robot and does a rap. But then it's back to the porch. At the end of the song he's finished knitting. He admires the, er, long red thing he's made, tosses the ball of wool up in the air and it magically transforms into a snow ball and then Che's snowboarding off into the sunset.
Fast Crew "Mr Radio"
Along came the Fast Crew, which included Kid Deft who later reverted to his maiden name, Dane Rumble. "Mr Radio" was their debut single, a rant about the difficulty of getting play-listed – something that would soon cease to be a problem for the Crew. The single reached #15 on the Independent NZ chart.
Director: Greg Riwai
Fuce "Restless"
Christchurch band Fuce have their final NZOA-funded video "Restless". The group had plans to relocate to Auckland in 2003, but I don't know what (if anything) happened next.
In 2002 I wrote this about the "Restless" video: This video uses two visual clichés, one old, one getting old. The first is where the camera jerks about as if it's trying to find something to focus on. The second is when the camera moves as if the power of the music is making the camera shake. Yeah, it's a low-budget NzonAir video, but it's looking ok. It just could have looked better if it had just shown the band playing the song, instead of all the dumb camera tricks.
Director: Aaron Hogg
Splitter "You're Right To Rock"
Splitter got in on the rock 'n' roll revival with "You're Right To Rock" an ode to you-know-what. Sample lyrics: "Power chords are ringing like a bell!". Aw yeah.
Subware "Into"
Subware's final funded video was the lush "Into", with vocals from Sandy Mills.
Theo Va'a "Little Angel"
Theo Va'a was an 10-year-old singer (dancer, entertainer, songwriter and professional model) from Palmerston North who later wowed the 2003 Christmas in the Park crowd. "Little Angel" featured Atilla Va'a, who I assume grew up to be the 130kg rugby prop asserting himself here.
Mace & The Woodcut Crew "Shake 'm"
"Shake 'm" is a collaboration between rapper Mace and Auckland producers the Woodcut Crew producers. I'm going to assume it's an instructional song about making protein shakes.
Pluto "Perfectly Evil"
Pluto have the dark and synthy "Perfectly Evil". It's been entertainingly used as the soundtrack for an almost wordless short film made by some year 13 students for their media studies assignment.
Lavina Williams featuring Emily Williams "Higher Lovin'"
Ex-Ma-V-Elle singer Lavina Williams teams up with her younger sister (and future Australian Idol star) Emily for the soul jam "Higher Lovin'". Their sisterly harmonies sound fabulous.
Crystal Fitisemanu "Sunny Summer's Day"
I'm not sure if the video for Crystal Fitisemanu's song "Sunny Summer's Day" was made. There's no mention of it online, but there is a brief mention of a $3000 grant in 2001 from Creative New Zealand for Crystal to record five songs.
P-Money featuring 4 Corners "The Xpedition"
"The Xpedition" is another track from P-Money's debut album, this time featuring 4 Corners on vocals.
Rhombus "Tour Of Outer Space"
Well, Rhombus go on a "Tour of Outer Space".
Tadpole "Always Be Mine"
"Always Be Mine" was the penultimate single released off Tadpole's second album.
This month's consolation video is "Verbally Decapitating" by DJ Logikal. It was the winner of a competition that TVNZ's after-hours music show M2 held, with the prize being a $10,000 fancy music video made for the winning track. This is a throw-back to how things were in the days before NZOA, where TVNZ (and its predecessors) made music videos for bands. Though in this case, it was a heavily promoted contest with an alcohol sponsor. The video – which is a really is a proper fancy video – sees DJ Logikal infecting downtown Auckland with his scratched-up beats, and it features pre-development Britomart for some gritty urban decay. It visually name-checks P-Money, and incorporates the song's samples by having people on the street lip-syncing the words. The video rightly won Best Editor for James Anderson at the 2003 Kodak Music Clip Awards.

Tadpole "Nothing New"
How did Tadpole end up making such bleak videos? Their earlier ones were lively, cool works that showcased the band's pop-rock talents. But it seems that in later years the band got very very serious, like a teenager dying their hair black.
Yet "Nothing New" is a very stylish video, with Renee dressed as an ice princess of sorts, queen of a winter wonderland, elaborately decorated with flamingos, a bird not usually found in cold climates.
The rest of the band is arranged behind her – guitarist to the left, bassist to the right, drummer directly behind her. And here's the thing – they barely move. All the band members stand as still as possible, moving only for the slightly effort required to play their instrument or sing. The contrast is noticeable in the chorus where it's clearly audible that the band are rocking real hard as, yet they're only shown doing their little twitching movements.
It results in a tension. The song is about a relationship breakdown and the video does help portray that stress, so good on the video makers for achieving that.
But there's another part of me that is annoyed with the video. "Nothing New" is a good single, but the video shuts down a lot of the energy the song has. The visuals manage to suppress the wilder rock side and make it feel like a ballad. And, ok, Renee looks fabulous dressed as the ice queen, but I remember when she used to jump around a lot. I want Tadpole to party like it's 1999.
Best bit: the bass player's flick of the head, the one concession to the lure of the rhythm.

Tadpole "Condition Chronic"
"Condition Chronic" was the third single from Tadpole's second album, an ode to the pain of unrequited love. The video is directed by Wade Shotter, and like his earlier Tadpole video "Better Days", this one is also based on animation, but the band make a real-life appearance too.
The video is set in a stylish snow-covered forest. Renee is alone in this forest, with a fur stole to keep her warm in the chilly environment. (Though evidently not cold enough to warrant covering her shoulders.) Beneath her wintry wrap, her heart is full of love.
Through the forest we also find Tadpole rocking out. They're shot in silhouette, black shapes against an orange sky. It's all about the hair, with dreadlocks, spikes and a mighty clip-on ponytail all getting a workout against the fuzzy sunset.
Nothing much happens in the video. The big climax involves Renee's heart animation getting pierced with an arrow and bleeding because love hurts. Otherwise it's a slow, moody video that works with the tone of the song.
The song is ok but doesn't seem like a good choice for a single, particularly when the frequently repeated chorus lyric "I'm enamoured of you" always sounds like "I'm a man with a view".
Best bit: Renee's ponytail power flicking.
Next… taking a stand.

Tadpole "Better Days"
"Better Days" was the final video of the seven songs released off "The Buddhafinger". Tadpole's previous videos have all had their own style and "Better Days" continues that with the Wade Shotter-directed video being done in anime style.
We meet the band in their Japanese-style animated form being taunted by their nemesis, a thuggish, green-skinned chap. Like the Power Rangers, Tadpole are colour-coded in red, blue, yellow and Renee in pink. They also come complete with their own collector cards.
The four friends are determined to slay the golly green giant, each blasting him with powers derived from their musical talents. Even Renee's supersonic scream has no effect. And the group's little frog friend just ends up getting splattered.
So what can slay their emerald enemy? Why, the buddhafinger, of course. The figure from the album cover smiles benevolently, granting them powers. And with one touch, the green guy becomes mushy peas.
It's really good to see an animated video that's got it right. Animation is time-consuming and takes a lot of thought and planning to get right. Other animated music videos haven't been so successful. Having said that, I can't help feel that the song would have been better served by a live-action video, but the crazy world of "Better Days" works well enough.
Best bit: the actual tadpole. It tried.
The video was given a special award at the 2002 New Zealand Music Video Awards.
Next… European vacation.

Tadpole "Number 1"
Tadpole's sixth NZ On Air funded video is a short rant against the scourge of "manufactured" bands. It seems a bit like barking up the wrong tree. New Zealand never had all that many manufactured groups, and the ones that were around didn't exactly enjoy long, successful careers. TrueBliss – who also had a single called "Number One" – were over and done within a year of forming. It seems a little like punching down – here's this successful rock band dissing struggling manufactured pop groups.
And indeed the "Number 1" video captures Tadpole at the top of their game. They're performing on the main stage at the Big Day Out. Like Shihad's "Bitter" video, the video uses editing tricks to disguise the fact that it was shot at a music festival and not their headline stadium gig. The stage is never shown in a wide shot and shots and the footage has been given a washed-out filter, all helping to masking the Big Day Out branding and town down the festival colour.
Lead singer Renee is wearing the most remarkable outfit. It's a halterneck top with tight trousers that erupt in massive flares. It's the sort of thing that would have last been seen on "Ready To Roll" in the 1970s, but the 2000s were the decade of bling and Renee wears those crazy bellbottoms with attitude.
It makes me realise that the early 2000s have refreshingly seen videos get a bit more showbiz. The keeping-it-real days of grunge are fading fast and bands aren't afraid to give 'em the old razzle-dazzle. Of course, being New Zealand it's toned down, still trying to keep it real.
Best bit: Renee's Danzig-style röck göd pose.
Next… having a bit of a think.

Tadpole "No Man"
It's a nice day in the suburbs and a young man prepares to go for a jog. He cues up some tunes on his Sony CD Walkman, straightens up his Dickies hoodie and starts the stopwatch on his Casio G-Shock. That's three brands in 25 seconds. I don't think I've seen this much product placement in a New Zealand music video before.
But anyway, the dude starts off running (in slow motion) and – whoa! – he's on fire. As he jogs, fiery flames dance on his back. Down at the Westmere shops, bystanders gaze at this remarkable sight, and indeed he is rather the centre of attention wherever he goes.
"No Man" seems like a quiet moment in the massive run of videos from Tadpole's hugely successful "Buddhafinger" album. The song is serious and dramatic and the video reflects this with its subdued colour palette and slow movement.
The camera freezes on some of the bystanders (young men and – oddly enough – one old lady), digitally zooming into their faces. The footage pixelates a little (and I keep expecting a crime drama "video expert" to shout "Enhance! Enhance!").
The flaming jogger continues his exercise as Tadpole sing their cautionary tale of getting your priorities straight. At the video's end, we revisit the zoomed-in shots of the bystanders, zooming out to reveal – gasp! – they're also on fire! Let's hope these folks are also rewarded with a G-Shock and a Discman for their troubles.
Best bit: The sign advertising fresh boiled beef, on sale at the Westmere butcher.
Next… hanging around the workshop.

Magnetite-bearing foraminifera from Admiralty Bay, West Antarctica, with description of Psammophaga magnetica, sp. nov.
During an expedition to King George Island, Antarctic Peninsula, we discovered two species of organic-walled, monothalamous foraminifera bearing mineral particles within their cytoplasm. The particles are predominantly magnetite and titanoferous magnetite. Both species are phylogenetically related and belong to a clade of monothalamous foraminifera having in common the ability to ingest mineral grains. One of the species, described here as Psammophaga magnetica sp. nov., has an elongate organic test and mineral particles located near the aperture. According to the analyses of partial small subunit ribosomal DNA (SSU rDNA), the species may have a panantarctic distribution and is slightly different from a similar Arctic morphotype. The second species is morphologically and genetically similar to Allogromia crystallifera Dahlgren, 1962 from Scandinavian fjords. Because the genus Allogromia is distantly related to Psammophagidae, we have transferred this species to the genus Psammophaga. In several specimens of this species, we found SSU rDNA sequences closely related, but not identical, to Hippocrepinella hirudinea (Heron-Allen and Earland, 1932), another monothalamous foraminifer present at the same sampling site. The origin of these extraneous sequences is unclear and raises the question of authenticity of rRNA gene sequences in some foraminifera.


In California. Apparently the extreme animal rights group Humane Society of the United States is a certified law enforcement training agency in California, being certified by the Butte College Academy. Sportsmen need to be on the watch out for this in other states. HSUS would love to get their fangs into state game agencies, and in a whacked-out state like California, the odds are better than in most others. I'd keep an eye out for this in New Jersey too.
They already have a grip in NJ. Review the hunting law structure.
Those frickin rats will try anything to advance their liberal/progressive agenda.

Q: Which method is called the first one if we have overriden methods in Java? As I know, if we have overridden methods in Java the first one which is called is overridden one. In this case I have initialized Dog object and I call method f which has one String inside. Class Tomato extends class Food. But why in this case I get as an answer null when it cleary should be tomato name and blee at the end?
public class Animal {
    String name;

    public void f(Food t) {
        System.out.println(t.name);
    }
}

public class Dog extends Animal {
    String name;

    public void f(Tomato t) {
        System.out.println(t.name + "blee");
    }
}

and this is call:
tomato is subclass of food!
Tomato t = new Tomato();
    t.name = "jdfjkgdlkg";

    Animal amor = new Dog();

    amor.f(t);

A: overriden method has equals signature
This
public void f(Food t)

and this
public void f(Tomato t)

are different methods
If you want to override method you should write this in Dog class
public void f(Food t) {

    System.out.println(t.name + "blee");
}

Box office was down significantly this weekend with a total take of 1.29 million but this was still a strong figure given the time of year. This is now the 11th consecutive weekend that a Korean film has claimed the top spot at the box office. Indeed, Korean films dominated the marquees with 5 of the top 6 spots and an 81% market share. To put this in perpective, the same figures for the comparable weekends of the last 3 years were:
2010: 1.09 million adms. - 50%
The Crucible aka Silenced, which has inundated Korean media of late as the real-life figures it depicts are now under investigation, held onto its top spot. However, after last weekend's astonishing increase it tumbled 56%, this was still enough for a big 447,049 frame but its lead was much narrower than expected. It currently has 3,743,065 admissions and sits at no.4 on the yearly domestic chart, just after Detective K, which it will pass before long. I'm keen to see how it holds over the coming weeks, it should be the third film to cross 5 million in 2011 but I don't think it will have enough steam to challenge the top two spots.
The Client, which despite being completely overshadowed by The Crucible last weekend, had a strong opening weekend and has held very well in its second weekend of general release with a drop of 26%. This brings its total to 1,456,121 and it it continues to play well throughout October it should become the sixth Korean film of the year to cross 3 million admissions.
The sole local platform release this week was Fighting Spirit, Kim Sang-jin's new baseball comedy, it mustered a weak 90,941 opening weekend. Kim's films, which include Attack the Gas Station (1999), Kick the Moon (2001), Jailbreakers (2002), and Ghost House (2004), used to always wind up in the yearly top 5. 2009's Attack the Gas Station 2 was his first film since before Korean cinema's resurgence which failed to break the 1 million mark but Fighting Spirit, which has garnered decent reviews but sported a relatively tepid marketing campaign, looks to fall well short of the former's 731,426 total. It's sad to see one of Korean cinema's brightest embers start to fade away.
Countdown, which opened to lower than expected figures has suffered a precipitous fall (63%) and attracted a measly 61,010 viewers over the frame. It's total now stands at 403,805 but it will likely drop out of the top 10 very soon, maybe as early as next week. This is a disappointing performance from a well-received film which features two big stars, Jeon Do-yeon and Jeong Jae-yeong. Clearly, name recognition is not the drawing factor it used to be in Korean cinema.
Arrow, The Ultimate Weapon dropped 50% for a 50,536 total, this was enough for it to claim the top spot of the year over Sunny but only by 5,000. Despite all the huge blockbusters that held the weight of expectations on their shoulders like Sector 7, Quick, and The Front Line, this late summer entry which debuted with much less buzz than the previously mentioned films, has comfortably outpaced all of them. It has, in fact, more than doubled all of their totals. A great performance from a very well-reviewed film, considering Sector 7's calamitous flop, clearly Korean moviegoers are a discerning audience!
As for foreign releases, Real Steel, The Three Musketeers, and The Debt opened with 73,738, 41,083, and 31,606, respectively. Poor openings across the board as foreign films in recent months have failed to gain a foothold in Korea.
Looking ahead, there are a number of important local release during the rest of October. With the Busan International Film Fest in full swing, films like Always (which opened the event) and Punch are likely to gain extra exposure after their screenings. K-Pop film Mr. Idol will open at the end of the month and I am very curious to see how it performs, the hallyu element could be a significant draw but it may also bomb, we shall see.

San Diego Anti-Prison Coalition Calls for California Decision-Makers to Act Immediately
For Immediate Release –March 29, 2014
San Diego Anti-Prison Coalition Calls for California Decision-Makers to Act Immediately to Reduce the Prison Population and Cancel All Prison Expansion Plans
Contact: Diana Zuñiga, Californians United for a Responsible Budget, 213-864-8931
San Diego—On Saturday, March 29th in Otay a broad coalition of organizations representing housing, health care, faith, youth, women's issues, criminal justice, and more will hold a rally at Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility to call on California decision-makers to take immediate action to reduce prison overcrowding by expanding parole and sentencing reform measures, investing resources in social programs and services, and canceling all prison expansion plans.
CURB (Californians United for the Responsible Budget) joins local San Diego organizations to hold a press conference and rally at the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility to demand Governor Brown and California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) stop all plans to build a 792-bed prison for prisoners with disabilities and mental health needs next to the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in Otay Mesa.
"The social impact of over-incarceration is extraordinarily destructive. Building more prison cells does nothing to solve our prison overcrowding crisis. We must reform our draconian drug sentencing laws and put funding and resources back into our communities. A majority of people behind bars are non-violent drug offenders who need transitional services, community-based treatment, housing, jobs and education so that they can successfully reintegrate back into society, where they belong." Gretchen Burns Bergman, Co-Founder & Executive Director, A New PATH, (Parents for Addiction Treatment & Healing), and Lead Organizer, Moms United to End the War on Drugs.
The new expansion unit for people with disabilities next to Donovan Correctional Facility would cost $168.7 million, with an annual operating budget of $5.5 million.
San Diego is also building a women's jail and the California Department of Corrections recently announced a proposal to open up a Family Foundation Program in the area.
RALLY AND PRESS CONFERENCE DETAILS
When: Saturday, March 29, 2014 at 11:00am
Where: Donovan State Prison (480 Alta Road San Diego)
At the site close to the correctional facility, advocates will urge the Governor and the legislature to implement cost effective population reduction strategies and sensible alternatives to incarceration, rather than spending millions on additional, unnecessary beds. CURB along with advocates and community activists are also planning to take further future actions against prison plans.
Participating organizations include: A New PATH, All of Us or None – San Diego, California Families to Abolish Solitary Confinement, California Coalition for Women Prisoners, California Partnership, California Prison Focus, Community Hispanic Association, Courage Campaign, Critical Resistance, Committee Against Police Brutality, Communities United for Restorative Youth Justice, Committee Against Police Brutality, California Prison Moratorium Project, Californians United for a Responsible Budget, Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, FACTS Education Fund,FairChance Project, Freedom Archives, Friends Committee on Legislation California, Grey Panthers of San Francisco, Invest in Education Not Incarceration Transform Education, ISIDORE, Legal Services for Prisoners with Children, The Los Angeles Community Action Network, National Association of Social Workers – CA Chapter,National Lawyers Guild – SF Bay Chapter,People's Power Assembly – United for Racial Justice, PICO California, Students Against Mass Incarceration – San Diego, Sin Barras – Santa Cruz, United Against Police Terror – San Diego, Western Center on Law & Poverty, and the Youth Justice Coalition along with hundreds of additional organizationsand individuals.

No-Name Banknotes: Under the Dog's Encouraging Success
29 days ago, on August 8, 2014, Creative Intelligence Arts launched a kickstarter for an original Masahiro Ando/Jiro Ishii anime project, Under the Dog. Yesterday, that project reached to reach its $580,000 funding target, and currently has an average of $68/backer from 10,486 total backers as of this writing. The success of this particular kickstarter, one of 5 anime-related ones that I am aware of (not counting anime sols projects), is obviously a good thing for the makers, and is also an encouraging sign for the future of anime crowdfunding.
Before I start, I should note that I didn't fund the kickstarter because it didn't seem like something I would watch if it existed today. I'm not going to be a poser and say I was a super-huge fan of this when I wasn't. Academically, though, the project carries a few interesting implications that are really permutations of one big thing – it lacked a lot of advantages that previous such projects have had.
Disadvantage #1: Obscurity of the staff involved
Masahiro Ando has done decently big things, but he's not a big name in the west; he has fewer myanimelist favorites (42 as of this writing) than Mari Okada (200), Kasai Kenichi (44), and Seiji Kishi (49), all of whom have an order of magnitude less than Kick Heart's Masaki Yuasa (1201). Kinema Citrus is below the google trends search volume threshold, as is Jiro Ishii. A team at that tier of popularity isn't going to be able to just slap their name on something and wait for the money shower to start flowing, but UtD demonstrates that a crack team on that popularity tier might be sufficient if there's a decent trailer and a well-executed PR strategy (one which included a late-game push comparable to previous Anime Sols endorsement plays).
This is a big deal because the guys who are *really* well known in the west (Shinkai, Watanabe, Yuasa, Hosoda, etc.) tend to be people who have a track record of commercial or critical success long enough that they can get funding without having to rely on crowdfunding services. Younger talents with big ideas that are the ones who actually stand to benefit the most if crowdfunding becomes a bigger deal, and this shows there's some market for them.
Disadvantage #2: Lack of a pre-existing product
Santa Company got funded with only a trailer, but they were asking for a factor of ten less than UtD was. Eve no Jikan and Little Witch Academia 2, both of which brought in way more money than they asked for, were selling a product that already existed and had a number of fans. That they hit their funding goal with just a solid trailer and some design sketches puts a bit of a lie to the supposed paradox of western anime fandom – the idea that people claim to want a specific sort of product but people won't gather in big enough numbers to support this product unless it already exists.* Since the number of anime popular enough to warrant that kind of mass desire for continuation isn't terribly large, it opens up the field tremendously if original, non-sequel projects are legitimately on the table.
Disadvantage #3: Asking for a ton more money
UtD's goal of $580k was bigger than the initial goals for Little Witch Academia 2, Kick Heart, Santa Company, and Time of Eve combined. Though Little Witch Academia 2 made slightly more than that in the end, it started out only asking for $150k. Some people have theorized that it's easier to fund a project when it seems likely that it will get made, or at least when it feels like it has enough of a chance of success that a $100 contribution could significantly effect the odds. But, if that effect is present (and it may still be), then it wasn't enough to torpedo this project.
In general, it's not good to be draw sweeping conclusions about the results of one project, but UtD's success is an extremely encouraging example which and a strong test of the ability of crowdfunding to turn a well-pitched idea into an OVA.
*I am that type of fan – the stuff I import is the stuff I've seen enough of to know I'll be rewatching/rereading several times.

"but UtD demonstrates that a crack team on that popularity tier might be sufficient"
Eh, I wouldn't be so sure about that. As far as I'm informed, they probably wouldn't have made it if not for Kotaku and Kojima gathering some attention? Not to mention it's also supported by the ever-so-convenient narrative of "Finally a kickass anime for the Western world just like Bebop, Akira and the likes in the good ol' days when there was no cursed moe around!". Heck, the official hashtag is called "#keepanimealive" of all things. This is not just the funding of an OVA but also the supporting of a cause, of an agenda. That makes it a special thing and I doubt that we could use this one's success as a means of generalizing.
torisunanohokori on September 6, 2014 at 8:14 pm said:
Getting celebrity endorsements and coverage from industry press has been a common part of many successful PR campaigns (including the animesols videos linked to in the post). Hideo Kojima is hardly the only popular Japanese game designer who's capable of writing a support piece. Using the #keepanimealive hashtag was incredibly pretentious, but it was also smart PR in that it got people who might have been interested to further look into it. Nothing the project did is anything that at least 10 other groups can't replicate.

Rather than the raw dollar amount, I'm more interested in that there're 12k+ paying customers for Under_dog. In an industry where success is qualified as selling the low thousands (in both Japan and US), that many for what amounts to an OVA is a sign that the customers are out there, if you market it right.
torisunanohokori on September 8, 2014 at 5:07 am said:
My initial reaction to this was to check what tiers the backers were on, and it does seem like most of them payed some version of normal market rate (~11k people at 25$ or above, ~4.5k at $60 or above). That's likely comparable with the number of people who bought HAL this month on R1 BD, so it is impressive relative to similar contemporary products.
I think it's a part marketing (trailer included under that umbrella) and a part the fact that it *wasn't* already made so people were buying potential rather than a product. The fact that anime is heavily pirated is an argument that might also hold some water – it's probably easier to forget to financially support something you kind of liked when you watched it for free if it's already been made and you don't really have a lot of leverage over the future of the franchise. But you can't pirate something that doesn't yet exist. Hard to unravel those arguments, though.
fredofirish on September 8, 2014 at 5:29 am said:
Em, that's an interesting argument against pirates you have there. If I understand your argument correctly: As of right now, Under_Dog is a rare example of an anime you can buy (albeit with a 1.5 yr delivery date) but can't yet pirate. As a result, it end up with an expanded paying customer base.
If that's the case, this would be the most convincing argument I have heard yet for KS as a serious anime fundraising platform.
Yah, piracy is a loaded topic because industry people blame it for a lot of things and people get super-defensive of it in some circles (and it is something everybody has done at some point). But even with the tinderbox bringing it up represents, it's something that's worth being considered in this context. I would bet money that industry people have at least considered the possibilities there.

Judd Apatow is an American film producer, director, comedian, actor, and screenwriter born on December 6, 1967 in Flushing, Queens, New York City to parents Maury Apatow and Tami. As a child, he found comedy films and TV shows fascinating. He even idolized comedy icons Bill Cosby and Steve Martin. Years later, he studied at Syosset High School and worked in a comedy club as a dishwasher at the same time. Seriously wanted to become one of the actors and filmmakers in the industry, he studied screenwriting and worked as a stand-up comedian prior to appearing on screen. He later gained an Emmy award for writing The Ben Stiller Show and eventually famed for his created TV series Freaks and Geeks. He was also the person behind the comedy film The 40-Year-Old Virgin which he personally wrote and produced.
The successful actor-producer stays fit, strong, and healthy by regularly exercising. He doesn't particularly perform complicated and tremendous exercises but he keeps his body active by doing plain and simple exercises. And although he's a great fan of real and heavy foods, he makes it certain that he doesn't overeat.
"If you exercise some every day and cut back on meat and dairy, you're probably doing fine," he expressed. "For me, if I want a hamburger, I make myself reach for a seaweed cracker or something instead, even though I don't like it as much. Then, maybe once every three weeks, I allow myself that hamburger."

These super cute egg shaped lip balms became very popular in these past few years. Besides being adorable and a decent product they are super inexpensive!
That makes it so easy for us to just go out and buy a new one as soon as the balm goes low, dumping millions of these 3-part plastic containers on our landfills.
Making you own refill will not be easier, more practical or even cheaper than driving into Walgreens and buying a new one, but it will be a lot of fun and you will end up with a much better product.
Since these have to be harder than lip balms in containers, I had to adjust the recipes I had a little, but I have tried them and they are delicious and work out perfectly.
For one container you need about 0.5 oz. of final product. You can always make a larger amount and save in a glass jar for the next time you need to refill. Make sure you use the entire mix within 12 months. Otherwise you will need a natural preservative.
For these containers I use the general rule of: 2 parts of a harder butter, 1 part of wax, 1 part of softer butter, about 30 drops of liquid oils. Most of the recipes follow this rule.
So this is the breakdown of the numbers for 0.4 oz - 1 container.
2 parts = 0.2 oz. hard butter.
1 parts = 0.1 oz. beeswax.
30 drops of a liquid oil.
Pracaxi & Acai Blend - 30 drops for each 0.4 oz.
Unsweetened Cocoa Powder - 1 tsp. for 0.4 oz.
Buriti Oil - 30 drops for each 0.4 oz.
Andiroba Oil - 30 drops for each 0.4 oz.
You can add FLAVOR OILS or ESSENTIAL OILS to any of these, just a few drops.
You can add MICA PIGMENT for a little glow to any of these.
You can add to these recipes the leftover from the balm that was in the tube previously.

Sunderland, VT, September 27, 2011 – Digital Wish announced today a $250 grant on all Test Factory subscriptions purchased by Maryland educators on the non-profit website DigitalWish.org through October 31, 2011. Using this limited time grant, educators can get a Test Factory subscription valued at $1,000 for their entire school for just $750.
Test Factory is a formative testing service developed for the MSA in the state of Maryland. There are schools using the Test Factory service that have reported raising student pass rates by 10%-15% and higher, with some of the biggest improvements occurring in special education and under-achieving student populations.
Students simply login to www.testfactory.net and practice taking standardized test questions which are based on the state's mathematics standards. The questions are similar to those presented on standardized tests, so students gain confidence answering questions which may be similar to the ones they will eventually encounter on the exam. The Test Factory system automatically tracks their errors so that teachers can easily identify and address areas of weakness. The entire service is online, allowing students to practice at school and at home.
Digital Wish is a non-profit on a mission to solve technology shortfalls in K-12 classrooms. The www.digitalwish.org website is designed to help teachers locate much-needed funding for classroom technology. Teachers make technology wish lists, and supporters make those wishes come true. Digital Wish provides online fundraising with credit card processing for schools, and allows teachers to share their technology wish lists so that parents and community members can easily contribute. Teachers, supporters, organizations, PTAs, and PTOs start online fundraisers for new classroom technology in just a few mouse clicks. Over 26,137 technology wishes have been granted.
