"Lacerta MGEN" (made in Hungary) today stands for the most reliable guiding system on market, used widely and enthusiastically in Europe, especially Germany and Austria. You may control it fully remotely using the included software (wakeup and sleep too), or you may choose simply to use the handcontroller. Guidecam and handcontroller always act together as a system.
The camera is a sensitive CCD EXview HAD (Sony ICX279AL-E 752x582 Pixel, 3.6x2.7 mm, Pixel ca. 4.7 Micron, much more sensitive than its predecessors, especially in the near infrared), and uses a standard T2 thread to connect to a guidescope or offaxis guider. Because only the area around the guide star is read out while guiding, readout is very fast. High sensitivity allows to guide safely on a 11mag star with a 50mm guidescope (1 sec. integration intervals), even guiding to a 12mag star (4 sec. integration time) was possible in field tests!

The FCC has many regulations related to amateur radio operation and I copied a few notes hare for future reference. As part of my studies, I read FCC part 97 and it's impossible to remember everything. So I found that copying the most relevant regulations helps me quickly access the ones that apply to my Technician class license privileges preferences and location.
Please do your own homework and assume that some of the privileges listed below may not apply. I tried to delete everything about General and Extra class licenses so that I can quickly decide what I am allowed to do.
Technician licensees have limited privileges below 30 MHz.
At all times, transmitter power must be the minimum necessary to carry out the desired communications. Unless otherwise noted, the maximum power output is 1500 watts PEP. Technicians are limited to 200 watts PEP on HF bands. Geographical power restrictions apply to the 70 cm, 33 cm and 23 cm bands; see The FCC Rule Book for details.
The FCC has allocated 219-220 MHz to amateur use on a secondary basis. This allocation is only for fixed digital message forwarding systems operated by all licensees except Novices. Amateur operations must not cause interference to, and must accept interference from, primary services in this and adjacent bands. Amateur stations are limited to 50 W PEP output and 100 kHz bandwidth. Automated Maritime Telecommunications Systems (AMTS) stations are the primary occupants in this band. Amateur stations within 398 miles of an AMTS station must notify the station in writing at least 30 days prior to beginning operations. Amateur stations within 50 miles of an AMTS station must get permission in writing from the AMTS station before beginning operations. The FCC requires that amateur operators provide written notification including the station's geographic location to the ARRL for inclusion in a database at least 30 days before beginning operations. See Section 97.303(e) of the FCC Rules.

'God Was Looking Over Us': The Incredible Story Behind Viral Photo That Is Now the Face of Hurricane Harvey
Social media often gives the world a window into chaotic and dangerous events, with viral photos emerging and spreading in real time during crises, inspiring the masses along the way.
READ: 'Thank God!': TV Reporter Saves Trapped Truck Driver's Life on Live TV Amid Deadly Scenario
In the case of Hurricane Harvey, there has been a plethora of gripping images, though one firmly stands out.
The picture — which shows a police officer rescuing a mother and her son — has been used over and over again to show the resilience, love and sacrifice that Texans are exhibiting in the midst of a debilitating and deadly storm.
The image of Catherine Pham and her 13-month-old baby Aiden was captured, among others, by Associated Press photographer David Phillip, who later told his employer how he came to snap the now iconic photo.
Touching photo by Louis DeLuca from our slideshow of Texans providing rescue in #HurricaneHarvey's 'biblical' floods https://t.co/faSH6O6Omm pic.twitter.com/h3r2vAji5J
— Michael Hamtil (@mhamtil) August 28, 2017
"I was just keeping an eye out and as soon as I saw the SWAT team member carrying her and then seeing the baby, I just couldn't believe that baby was wrapped up in there and not crying," Phillip said of the scene captured in the image. "It was just tender. It was very special."
Phillip's photo, which shows officer Daryl Hudeck carrying mother and son through the floodwaters on Sunday, along with at least one other snapped by a local photographer, has been used in memes celebrating the American spirit, as the nation deals with fallout from the hurricane.
Pham and her son were rescued from their flooded family home along with her husband, Troy Pham, and a neighbor. The group was staying on the second story of the house after the first floor was flooded with more than two feet of water, The Dallas Morning News reported.
As the waters rose, Troy Pham took his kayak down the street, where he found Houston SWAT team members and got help for his family.
"We were waiting for daylight to try to get out, but by that point the water kept rising and rising and it was unsafe to even try to get out [by truck]," Troy Pham later told the Dallas Morning News.
The rescue of his wife as she held Aiden has inspired some powerful memes:
Catherine Pham later took to Facebook to share her gratitude for her family's safety.
"We are so thankful that God was looking over us today!" she wrote, according to the AP.
Another photo of the scene that was captured by Dallas Morning News photographer Louis DeLuca was carried around the globe as well.


Last month's research report on work-hours for high-paid salaried workers from the Washington Center for Equitable Growth paints a picture of a nation where even the winners are losers.
Historically, the best-off salaried workers in America worked the shortest hours ("banker's hours" used to mean short days). But on the way to neolibertopia, the hours of the rich and the poor have swapped places: the poor, hourly waged workers struggle to piece together enough hours to make ends meet (fighting with employers who want to avoid the threshold at which they have to treat their hourly employees with a modicum of fairness). The best-paid salaried workers, by contrast, work longer hours than at any time in American history.
Things are just not good for workers these days.


The pipeline cleaning process is critical to the success of in-line inspections, creating the best possible condition to collect valuable pipeline fitness data.
Mechanical cleaning tools, or "pigs," are equipped with anything from foam swabs to magnets to spring-backed brushes to clean a pipe's interior.
Baker Hughes, a GE company, offers a suite of cleaning and maintenance services, and may enhance the process by using an in-house cleaning chemical as an agitator or solvent for the cleaning pig.
Says BHGE's David Latto: "We use different solutions for different situations—specialized descaling and dewaxing pigs, pencil brushes, scrapers."
What do magnets, brushes, foam, urethane cups and tungsten carbide tips have in common? They're all part of the spick-and-span arsenal for the pipeline industry.


ISLAMABAD - Election Commission's announcement to defer the bye-elections, besides inviting surprises and condemnations by leaders of the ruling coalition, and the ANP's allegations against Interior Advisor Rehman Malik in this regard, seem to have pushed the government into a virtual quagmire. So much so that Leader of the House in Senate Razza Rabbani was totally ignorant of even the EC announcement by Monday evening when in his chamber the journalists were insisting on his official reaction to the deferment of the bye-elections. First he had a briefing from his party office and then he described it as a violation of the Article 224 of the Constitution wherein the bye-elections were supposed to be held within 60 days of the respective seats' vacation. He termed it as unfair to postpone elections "without consulting all the political parties. No other province or even the centre have pointed out any such requirement to postpone the elections except NWFP." On the contrary, the ANP has said on record that the Interior Advisor had asked their party government in the province to agree to the postponement as the other three provinces were already in favour of it. Late in the evening Provincial Chief Minister NWFP Ameer Haider Hoti addressed a press conference to unequivocally accuse Rahman Malik of conspiring against the ruling coalition. Pakistan Muslim League (N) was also furious over none else but Rehman Malik. Siddiq-ul-Farooq condemned Malik more than the Election Commission for what he described as blatant conspiracy against the ruling coalition at a critical juncture of time. Contrary to what was going on outside the Parliament and inside the Senate on Monday, the impression that gained strengthen was that government had gone haywire. Far ahead of the judges' restoration, which is feared to ignite confrontation between Presidency and the ruling coalition, the emerging misunderstanding within the coalition partners was to reveal their dismal level of coordination. Apart from the questions about the judges restoration committee's success after a notable resignation of Fakhruddin G Ibrahim from its membership before it was to meet late Monday evening, the birth of a new conspiracy over the bye-elections was alarming. More alarming was the hue and cry in the Senate about the shortage of the wheat flour in both the NWFP and Balochistan. Senator Haji Muhammad Adeel's tone was sarcastic even on the judges' restoration especially against the key coalition partner Pakistan Muslim League (N). "They want to do justice with the judges first but not with the people of the NWFP being deprived of basic food," he said. Expressing saturation level of patience, he plummeted to the level of parochialism as against the provincial autonomy by saying, "If they (Punjab) refuse to give us wheat we would be left with no option but to stop supply of what we produce as a province namely the electricity." Following the suit of Haji Adeel, another angry Senator from Balochistan Haji Wali Muhammad also threatened to block of the supply of natural gas from the province to 'others'. Deputy Chairman Senate Jan Muhmmad Jamali, while sitting in the chair of the Upper House also made his contribution in voicing the plight of the smaller provinces especially on the issue of wheat. Although he tried his level best to prevent the House from a debate pitting the provinces against each other, Senators vowing to block supplies was enough to indicate the mindset of the federating units.

Solomun Dates
Sorry, there are no Solomun dates.
Solomun Biography
Solomun plays a major role in redefining European house music with productions, remixes and DJing by taking the very building blocks of House and deftly reconstructing them with a modern twist. A respected underground DJ and producer for a number of years, his stratospheric rise in popularity kicked off in 2012. The same year Mixmag Magazine voted him as "DJ of the Year.
His Ibiza success story began in 2013, when he inaugurated his infamous "Solomun+1"-residency at Pacha, which instantly became the island's go-to event on Sunday nights. 2015 saw the commencement of his second residency concept: "Solomun+live" is an outdoor daytime event with nothing but live-acts as his special guests. Solomun loves working in the studio, but his passion for DJing and performing is obvious to anyone who has seen him play anywhere around the world. His infamous Boiler Room set from early 2015 is the fastest growing Boiler Room video of all time, with around 18 million views – and counting. He is not afraid of taking the audience on a journey.
About his style, where vigour, deepness and emotion go hand in hand in a very musical way, Solomun once said: "People have emotions. So why not on a dancefloor?" Running two successful labels, (Diynamic, 2DIY4) and Ibiza residencies (Solomun+1 at Pacha, Solomun+LIVE at Ushuaia) or the Diynamic Radio show, which is broadcasted in about 30 countries - it is all connected with Solomun's passion for music. He does so much in the same way he manages the variety of influences on his music: with a soft touch, a little dance move and real honest commitment to "Doing It Yourself".


Plans are being put together to open the first café serving free food to the people of Manchester – utilising ingredients that would otherwise be thrown away. The project aim is to open Manchester's first waste food pay-as-you-feel cafe, to stamp out food waste in the city and provide hot nutritious meals for all.
The Real Junk Food Project intercepts food that would otherwise go to waste from supermarkets, restaurants and a number of other sources, turning the food waste it into healthy and nutritious meals for anyone and everyone. Meals are priced on a pay-as-you-feel donation basis.
As well as stamping out food waste, they also aim to make the food system fairer and more sustainable and help support some of Manchester's most vulnerable residents.
To support this project go to the Real Junk Food MCR Crowd Funder Page. There you will find further details on the project plus options on how you can support them – starting from just £5.
The money raised will pay for the design and build of a mobile kitchen, work on a new site they are setting up as well as some new furniture and equipment that is urgently required.
Don't forget to check out their Crowd Funder page at and donate – Eat and Two Veg has already made a contribution and we hope you do too!

Back in the first installment of this series, I regaled you with the story of how I acquired my much-beloved VIC-20. I also hinted at the first steps with my VIC-20; steps that set me on the 'Engineering Path'--a journey which still keeps me gainfully employed today. As good as the machine was though, none of those early steps in programming and design would have taken me anywhere, or would have even been possible, had it not been for the effort that Commodore put into the documentation for the VIC-20.
Out of the box, my VIC-20 came with a small "User's Guide"; a spiral-bound, high-gloss thing. (Everything Commodore put out for the VIC was printed in this manner; big, cartoony, colorful, and high-gloss. I suppose they were constantly trying to remind you that, "This was the Wonder Color Computer of the 1980's!") In comparison to the sad little 1-page pamphlets and 3-page CD-only PDFs that might come bundled with a modern PC, this booklet looks like The Library of Congress.
Now it is undeniably true that nearly all of the 8-bit computers from that bygone era came with far better documentation than any modern PC's do. This is partially because computers were so new at the time; there was little "cultural awareness" of how they functioned, and what you could do with them. Manufacturer's had to introduce their customers to the product (to reassure the customer they'd spent their money wisely, and to encourage them to buy the equally expensive peripheral devices.) The other primary reason for providing higher quality documentation was to simply offset the crudity of the machines themselves--these were extremely "user unfriendly" boxes, no matter what the colorful packaging (or William Shatner) might claim.
But the Commodore manuals were different, special; even by the standards of the time. The User's Guide which came included in the box with the VIC-20, not only explained BASIC programming, not only showed you where to plug in joysticks, cassette-tape recorders, disk-drives, and printers, not only showed how to use those peripherals via code examples, but it also provided some pertinent (and honestly, highly technical) details of the machine's innards.
All of this is presented in a very approachable way, with simple hand-holding steps building on top of one another. Despite it's smallish size, the User's Guide provided sufficient information about the machine layout and BASIC programming, such that a determined kid could write some rather complex software. A little bit of ingenuity, a lot of effort, and a goodly chunk of time was all that was required to create code that could: simulate physics, sample and analyze data (via the joystick and paddle port), control external devices, provide hours of gameplay, analyze and graph complicated math functions, tell stories, generate sound-effects, and so forth.
In the weeks after Christmas, I devoured the information and code-examples in the User's Guide. I spent countless hours typing in the sample games and programs, and making modifications to experiment with them. This was my first real experience with the addictive power of "The Zone", which comes when deeply immersed in rewarding mental effort. It was also, much to my mother's dismay, my first experience with a serious side-effect of getting into "The Zone": namely, Sleep Deprivation--something which all true programmers come to know well.
The plebian notions of "Day" and "Night" drifted together; they were meaningless designations. Everything was forgotten while I was buried so deeply in the machine; studying, puzzling, experimenting, and forever doodling new ideas. My utter immersion into the machine-world was aided by one simple fact: the weather.
During winter in Pennsylvania, there really is very little to differentiate "Day" from "Night". Both are cold, dark, grey, windy, wet, and generally filled with snow. In fact, to this very day I'm convinced that crappy weather is a prime factor in creating successful software. How many big/famous software development houses have ever existed in Hawaii, Tahiti, or along the sandy shores of the Caribbean? None so far as I know. All the biggest ones are in cold, snowy, rainy, or otherwise adverse climates.
Having exhausted the examples and information in the VIC-20 User's Guide. I next split my attention between two of the other books gifted to me: Compute's First Book of VIC and The VIC-20 Programmer's Reference Guide.
Handling joystick and paddle-controller inputs.
Detailed memory access and custom-configuration of the machine.
Examples for controlling tape-units, disk drives, and printers.
Methods for getting character and bitmap animation to work.
Custom configuration of the MOS-6520 VIC (Video Interface Chip) to allow unusual display modes, bizarre sound outputs, and so on.
An introduction to adding simple "helper" Assembly Language routines which you could call from BASIC.
Sample code, Sample code, and MORE sample code.
Having wrung out most of the information available in Compute!'s First Book of VIC, it was around this same time that I also began experimenting seriously with Assembly Language. I found the process incredibly frustrating at times, as I had no one to teach me, and no one with whom to bounce ideas around. The Programmer's Reference Guide came to my rescue. The book led me through the complexity of programming Assembly Language, and the bizarre intricacies of doing so on a real machine, with real constraints.
This is the book which really opened my eyes to the possibilities and capabilities of the VIC-20 and computers in general. This is the book that made that 'mysterious, secret knowledge' accessible to me. This is the book, above nearly all others I've ever read, which helped determine the course of my life.
It may surprise you to learn that this amazing book is still incredibly valuable today, and not just to me personally as a 'nostalgia piece' or in general as a 'historical artifact'. Why? Because even now, this book contains the knowledge equivalent to roughly 3 to 4 COMPLETE SEMESTERS of a modern Computer Science / Electrical Engineering degree.
ALL of these topics are the daily meat and potatoes of a modern systems engineer. And this single book covers them, providing an introduction to each concept, discussing the difficulties and pitfalls, and including sample code and explanatory diagrams.
Believe it or not, the venerable old MOS 6502 CPU which powers my VIC-20 is RELEVANT EVEN TODAY. In the realm of "Embedded Systems", modern variations of the 6502 CPU are still being designed into new equipment. (Wikipedia Entry on the MOS 6502 CPU.) This processor, along with the Zilog Z-80 CPU it competed against, not only helped define and shape the world of modern computing and electronics, they both continue to do so. This is an astounding achievement, a credit to their designers' ingenuity and effort.
Fixing the Flicker... MY VIC-20 LIVES again!
Ok, I know this has been lengthy, but stay with me, we're in the home-stretch here.
Waaay back in Part #2 of this series, there was a little video which showed the sad state of my VIC-20's screen output. How was it possible to diagnose the glitchy, sparkly, display problem? In a word: Documentation, damn fine documentation. The Programmer's Reference Guide came with full-schematics for my VIC-20. These schematics enabled me to track down and fix the video/character-corruption fault.
RAM chip gone bad? Doubtful. The test program I wrote showed that everything I wrote to RAM read back just fine.
Fault in the CPU? Not likely, or the thing would crash, go crazy at random, or never work at all.
Problem in the VIC chip? Not likely. It connects to too many other parts of the system, and would likely just crash the machine or kill the display entirely.
Video RAM chip problem? Maybe, but the flickering bits didn't correspond to specific colors or sections of the display. The way the 2114 RAM chips are layed out to map memory, any characters in the "glitchy" region would appear scrambled--but only certain characters blinked, and did so all over the screen.
Problem with the KERNEL ROM chip? Unlikely. Though it was remotely possible that the crude OS in the VIC 20 was glitching, and overwriting part of the screen memory or something, odds are the VIC simply would fail to boot properly.
Problem with the BASIC ROM chip? Nope. The problem showed up in "immediate mode". That is, when the VIC-20 was basically doing nothing; just waiting on user-input and blinking the cursor.
That the blinky-bits fluctuated in the same pixels of a given character, SIMULTANEOUSLY on every appearance of that character on-screen, was telling. More than likely, the VIC-20 character ROM (901460-03) was faulty, or had broken/flaky pins. Opening the machine again, removing that ROM chip, and doing an inspection yielded no cracked or bent pins, and no corrosion or burn-marks on the circuit board. Time to dig up a replacement chip.
Five minutes searching on-line and less than $10 later, a NOS (new old-stock) VIC-20 character ROM was on the way. When it arrived, I plugged the chip into the socket on the motherboard, fired it up, and VOILA!
Thanks for hanging in there everyone! I know this was a long article, but it helps set the stage for next time. In the next and final installment of the Retro-Repair Adventures, you're in for a little treat; I will be revealing, for the first time ANYWHERE, some of my very own early attempts at BASIC game programming. I'll also give you a look at some of my hand-sketched notes for a Defender clone which never made it past the drawing-board stage. With that as a starting point, I'll then explain why the VIC-20 is both very EASY to program, but very DIFFICULT to program well.
See you soon, and happy retro-gaming!
Wow, awesome troubleshooting. Glad it went well with the ROM chip and you didn't have to dive much deeper.
I actually just ordered a third VIC-20 off of eBay (the second original-style model), hoping this one has that elusive combination of low interference video and working keyboard.
Awesome job. I can only marvel at your engineering prowess.

This remarkably original and vital work argues that the problems are rooted in a disjunction between prevailing values and the prevailing doctrinal regime in constitutional law. Dripps asserts that the Fourteenth Amendment's more general standards of due process and equal protection encompass the values that ought to govern the criminal process. Why does the American criminal justice system punish too many innocent people, failing to punish so many guilty parties and imposing a disproportionate burden on blacks? This remarkably original and vital work argues that the problems are rooted in a disjunction between prevailing values and the prevailing doctrinal regime in constitutional law. Dripps asserts that the Fourteenth Amendment's more general standards of due process and equal protection encompass the values that ought to govern the criminal process. Criminal procedure ought to be about protecting the innocent, punishing the guilty, and doing equal justice. Modern legal doctrine, however, hinders these pursuits by concentrating on the specific procedural safeguards contained in the Bill of Rights. Dripps argues that a renewed focus on the Fourteenth Amendment would be more consistent than current law with both our values and with the legitimate sources of Constitutional law, and will promote the instrumental values the criminal process ought to serve. Legal and constitutional scholars will find his account of our criminal system's disarray compelling, and his argument as to how it may be reconstructed important and provoking.
Criminal justice is unavoidably human. Detectives, witnesses, suspects, and victims shape investigations; prosecutors, defense attorneys, jurors, and judges affect the outcome of adjudication. Simon shows how flawed investigations produce erroneous evidence and why well-meaning juries send innocent people to prison and set the guilty free.
The application of the Fourth Amendment's Exclusionary Rule has divided the Justices of the Supreme Court for nearly a century. As the legal remedy for when police violate the Fourth Amendment rights of a person and discover criminal evidence through illegal search and seizure, it is the most frequently litigated constitutional issue in United States courts. Tracey Maclin's The Supreme Court and the Fourth Amendment's Exclusionary Rule traces the rise and fall of the exclusionary rule using insight and behind-the-scenes access into the Court's thinking. Based on original archival research into the private papers of retired Justices, Professor Maclin's analysis clarifies the motivations and thoughts that explain the Court's exclusionary rule jurisprudence. He includes a comprehensive scholarly and objective discussion of the reasoning behind the Court decisions, and demonstrates that like other constitutional doctrines, the exclusionary rule is a political mechanism that expands and contracts as the times and Justices change. Ultimately, this book will help readers understand how constitutional law is constructed by judges with diverse political perspectives.
The 1980s: A Critical and Transitional Decade, edited by Kimberly R. Moffitt and Duncan A. Campbell, is a holistic analysis of the decade that focuses on major turning points and developments in literature, entertainment, politics, and social experimentation. This analysis ultimately presents the 1980s as a significant phenomenon in the American landscape. The 1980s is a groundbreaking and stand-alone introductory volume that is unapologetically interdisciplinary in nature and encourages students to explore topics of the decade often overlooked or grouped together with other, more memorable decades such as the 1920s or 1960s.


Our home in Ubud was beautiful "Gajah Biru" ("blue elephant" in translation). It was one of those places you don't want to leave. We stayed at the cosiest bungalow with panoramic windows and a huge terrace. From the terrace I could see the roofs of traditional Bali houses and the pool where Anna was having fun. Surinder, the owner of the "Gajah Biru Bungalows and SPA", is one of the most hospitable person I've ever met! And the most creative one! You can see it in every detail of the interior – every picture is unique, every statue in the garden is one and only! And what about the café where breakfast was served – it was a whole museum of original ideas and design solutions! And the breakfast itself – it was not only the feast for taste receptors, but pleasure for eyes and soul!

Hackers hit medical practice
Crime Crime |
GLENWOOD SPRINGS — Allergy Asthma & Immunology of the Rockies — which has offices in Glenwood Springs, Basalt and Eagle — learned that its computer system was hacked May 16. An investigation by a forensic technology company determined there was evidence of attackers creating an unfamiliar directory account on March 19. While there is no evidence that confidential patient information was copied or downloaded, the practice acted immediately by offering patients an extra level of protection with a complimentary one-year identity theft protection program.
The investigation indicates this appears to be a random crime called ransomware. Ransomware, an actively growing issue the FBI outlines on its website, is a type of malicious software designed to block access to a computer system until a sum of money is paid.
Allergy Asthma & Immunology of the Rockies began sending notification letters to all individuals who may have been affected on June 17. The letter outlines steps patients should take to mitigate potential impact. The practice has also established a dedicated website with frequently asked questions: http://www.myidcare.com/aair; and a toll-free information line at 888-530-6590, which operates from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Allergy Asthma & Immunology of the Rockies had a password-protected firewall in place; however, the attackers hacked past it. The hackers then began testing ransomware on the system and a draft ransom note was found. As soon as the hacking was discovered, the system was shut down, new hard drives were installed and the system was rebuilt. A new firewall configuration has been set up and new passwords have been created.
"We are so sorry for any inconvenience to our patients," Allergy Asthma & Immunology of the Rockies founder Dr. Robert McDermott said. "We take patient privacy and the HIPAA act very seriously. Unfortunately, cyber terrorism is a very real danger in today's computer age. We are continuing to work with the best professionals to determine the best security measures to put in place to minimize risk moving forward."

The film will feature cameos from Justin Bieber, Kim Kardashian and more.
On Feb. 12, Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson return as Derek and Hansel in "Zoolander 2." In the film, the duo's modeling careers are threatened when a business tries to boot them out of the fashion industry. The original "Zoolander," which was released in 2001, earned $60.78 million worldwide on a production budget of $28 million.
"Zoolander 2" is expected to earn $48 million in total, half of which is expected to come from its opening weekend. Here is a look at the "Zoolander 2" cast and their net worths.
Ben Stiller has a net worth of $150 million. The son of show business veterans, Stiller had a successful early career as a writer and actor for projects that included "Saturday Night Live" and "The Ben Stiller Show." In 1998, he was catapulted to global stardom with a starring role in "Something About Mary," which earned him $3 million.
He earned $2.5 million for the original "Zoolander" in 2001, and then $10 million for the hit comedy "Meet the Fockers" in 2004. He earned $38 million in 2007; $40 million in 2008; and $53 million in 2010. Adjusted for inflation, his movies have earned more than $3.7 billion worldwide, with average earnings of $104 million per movie.
To promote "Zoolander 2," Ben Stiller is channeling supermodel Derek on Instagram, posting photos from visits to Australia to a sneak peek at a forthcoming Vogue issue.
Owen Wilson earned $2 million for the original "Zoolander," just a small part of his $45 million net worth. He earned $3 million for "Behind Enemy Lines," which also came out in 2001. He earned $10 million from "Starsky & Hutch" in 2004, then another $10 million for "Wedding Crashers" the following year.
Wilson has teamed up with Stiller on many projects, including "Little Fockers," a role that earned Wilson $15 million. Adjusted for inflation, his movies have taken in $3.3 billion at the global box office, with each film averaging $86.7 million.
Kristen Wiig has a net worth of $16 million. Although she is best known for her work on "Saturday Night Live," it was the movie "Bridesmaids" that proved the actress' marketability. The smash hit pulled in $288 million on a $32 million budget.
Will Ferrell has a net worth of $100 million, most of which can be attributed to his incredible success on the big screen. The SNL alum has 95 credits as an actor. Adjusted for inflation, his movies have earned more than $2.6 billion at the global box office, more than $87 million each on average.
Spanish-born Penelope Cruz's $55 million net worth is due not only to her career as a movie star but also to the $2 million she earned from a L'Oreal cosmetics endorsement in 2006. When adjusted for inflation, her movies have earned just shy of $1 billion at the global box office.
Like the original "Zoolander," "Zoolander 2" is packed with celebrity cameos, including the likes of Justin Bieber, Kim Kardashian and Ariana Grande.
Canadian pop superstar Justin Bieber's net worth is estimated to be $200 million. Although the global phenomenon's net worth was just $500,000 in 2010, he now earns between $60 million and $80 million a year.
Model, reality TV actress and media superstar Kim Kardashian's net worth is roughly $85 million. She earns between $25 million and $30 million a year through her many income streams, including modeling, acting, clothing and fragrance lines, and personal appearances. She will be appearing in the film alongside Kanye West.
Ariana Grande's net worth is believed to be roughly $25 million. Although she has acted in theater productions and on television since childhood, most of her fortune is from her music career, which started when her 2013 debut album "Yours Truly" sold between 100,000 and 200,000 copies in its first week, making her an overnight sensation.
Fans have waited 15 years for a sequel to "Zoolander 2" — and on Feb. 12, they'll have their chance to see it. While the original film was not a blockbuster, it gained a massive cult following, and there is already buzz the sequel could rival the success of the original.
From "That '70s Show" to "The Butterfly Effect," Ashton Kutcher has made millions.
Get the scoop on the "Dazed and Confused" star's fortune.

The Recycling Crisis
Where does it go? What happens to it when it gets there? Does recycling have a future?
by Alex Greene
It was one of those disconcerting moments where the reality you've accepted for years seems to evaporate in the blink of an eye. In the first week of June, after tending to my weekly routine of setting out waste bins for collection, I saw a garbage truck pull up, two workers roll my recycling and standard waste carts to the truck, then dump them both in. I was dumbfounded.
Most of us expect that by following the correct protocols, our waste and recycling will seamlessly feed into a system that takes it from there. Now the system was apparently broken. The variety of responses to what I'd witnessed revealed what a black box the process is to most of us. Some friends I talked to shrugged and claimed that all recycling was bogus; others expressed outrage mixed with impotency — that familiar feeling of the disempowered citizen trying to do the right thing. Very few friends and colleagues, however, could explain the recycling process in any detail.

The Materials Recovery Facility off Lamar.
As it turned out, there had been a fire that week at the main materials recovery facility (MRF) that processes recyclables for the city of Memphis and other municipalities. Located near American Way and Lamar Avenue and operated by Republic Services, the facility is the country's second-most profitable waste-processing outfit.
"The fire occured on a Friday afternoon," Memphis' solid waste deputy director Philip Davis tells me. "The facility was back and running the next Thursday. At that time, we had to divert materials to the landfill because there wasn't storage capacity for the recyclables. So that was unfortunate, but the silver lining was that it wasn't a catastrophic fire that shut the facility down for an extended period of time."
Solid waste director Albert Lamar agrees. "The cause of the fire was undetermined," he says, adding that, due to the fire, "about 235 tons of recyclables ended up in the landfill" that week. This roughly lines up with last year's annual total of 15,600 tons, or 300 tons per week, delivered to the MRF by the city. Yet even when fire does not shut down the MRF, more than 20 percent of what is delivered there — 60 tons per week — will not be recycled.
Bearing that in mind, phenomena such as the 1.6-million-square-kilometer expanse of plastic waste in the Pacific Ocean, aka The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, make more sense. "Well, I'm doing my part," you might think when reading such news, not knowing how much of your recycled plastic and other waste simply goes to a landfill, despite your best efforts.
The waste-management system wasn't always so marked by inefficiency. But it is today, due to a perfect storm of events. And they're just the tip of the garbage patch.
Years ago, the recycle market was such that municipalities would actually receive revenues from the processor for the sale of recycleable material," says Joe Nunes, neighborhood services manager for the City of Germantown and chair of the Shelby County Solid Waste Advisory Board. "But in recent years, National Sword in China and other initiatives have dramatically impacted the market for recyclables in the entire country. The biggest issue in the industry right now is contamination. China limited the percentage of contaminated material that they would accept, and that percentage was not achievable by most U.S. recycling facilities."
The Chinese National Sword policy that took effect on January 1, 2018, served more like a national shield, blocking the torrent of heavily contaminated recyclables that China once received to a mere trickle. Suddenly, China would only accept recyclables with a contamination rate of 0.5 percent or better, after decades of looser contamination standards, when the country established itself as a leading importer of recyclables to feed its rapidly expanding economy. With the resale market radically shrinking, other buyers of recycled waste have become more stringent as well. Meanwhile, Memphis' own recyclables contamination rates reach as high as 21 percent.
Scott Banbury presents hard facts on the recycling industry to the Sierra Club.
We may simply have to face the fact that there is a global garbage glut, especially of the plastic variety.
"Plastic Recycling is a Myth" is the title of a recent article in the Guardian. It details horror stories of a vast underworld of waste mismanagement, with unregulated landfills in Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam accepting millions of tons of mostly plastic waste. The bottom line? There is simply too much plastic for the world to manage.
Only 9 percent of the world's produced virgin plastic has been recycled, according to the Guardian. While the scrap metal, aluminum, and cardboard recycling markets have not sunk completely, the market for plastics is essentially gone. "The price of plastics has plummeted to the extent that it isn't worth recycling. If China doesn't take plastic, we can't sell it," said one British recycler.
The shrinking of the recyclables market is having dire effects well beyond your curbside pick up. As reported earlier this year by WKNO's Katie Riordan, Republic Services no longer accepts any recycling waste from Memphis International Airport, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, or the University of Memphis. And, as we go to press, the city of Jackson, Mississippi, has canceled all of its recycling programs, indefinitely.
When curbside recycling began, as most will remember, items were separated more or less by material: the glass set apart from paper, set apart from cans, and so on. This all changed in the early years of this decade, with the advent of single-stream systems. It started in Memphis in 2014, with the rollout of new recycling mega-carts that held 96 gallons, with no separation required. Single-stream systems took all the sorting responsibilities away from the consumer and pushed it further down the pipeline. And, with household-level separation abandoned, contamination shot up. Joy Williams, then the recycling coordinator for the city of Memphis, told the Wastedive website in 2017 that single-stream had raised contamination rates from 2 percent to 16 percent. And it's been climbing since then.
Yet Lamar and Davis remain committed to single-stream, and it's easy to see why: volume. "We rolled single-stream out in the Cordova and Hickory Hill areas in 2014," says Davis. "And we saw a tremendous increase in volume, literally overnight. Like, one week we had 18-gallon bins, the next week we had 96-gallon carts — 200 percent increase. Just like that. It became apparent that people recycle until the container's full. So that encouraged us to seek outside funding with Closed Loop Fund and the Recycling Partnership and make a significant investment in these 96-gallon carts. And it took us probably a year and a half to get those carts rolled out citywide."
Davis sees single-stream as more inclusive. "You have to make recycling available to everyone," he says. "It's about accessibility. Single-stream makes recycling accessible to a broader population."
For the city's Department of Solid Waste, it's primarily an education issue. "We just have to be smarter," says Lamar. "In the Memphis curbside collection now, we've got a Know Where to Throw campaign. We have a recycling game and so forth. They can go on the Memphis Curbside Collections app, type in the item that you're thinking about recycling, and it'll tell you if that item is recyclable in the Memphis system. The bottom line is that, across the nation, we have to teach the consumer to be smarter about recycling. No longer are the days in which we can just throw plastics, paper products, and so forth in there and expect that it is going to be recyclable. We have to get much better and more detailed about the way we do it, so we can reduce the contamination."
A narrow focus on primarily changing consumer behavior, of course, bears all the signs of free-market fundamentalism, the sea in which most municipal departments swim these days. But there's a sea change as well. Call it the environmental imperative, which even the most die-hard free-marketers acknowledge. As Nunes notes to me, in words echoed by Memphis city officials and others: "The thing about recycling is that we've got to not only look at the economic side of it, but also the environmental side and the social side. If we look at long-term sustainability, our goal should still be to keep material out of the landfill."
That simple idea — keeping material out of the landfill — is in fact the explicit goal of a group some may not associate with environmental activism: the Teamsters Union. Supporters of workers' rights over a broad spectrum, the union, it turns out, has been grappling with recycling issues for some time. A 2015 study by the Partnership for Working Families, the National Council for Occupational Safety and Health, and others, begins with the bold words: Zero waste is the future.
It's a natural extension of a concern for workplace safety, according to Matt Brown, who works for the strategic research and campaigns department, waste division, of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. "The Teamsters are helping the city adopt a more green program that would not only get us to a zero-waste goal, but also protect workers who do that," he says. "As a native Memphian and a trade unionist, waste workers have a special place in my heart. Dr. King was assassinated protecting waste workers. And waste remains the fifth-most dangerous job in America. A lot of guys get hepatitis or other diseases because when they're pulling bags of trash, they're getting stuck by needles. Or people throw away ammunition that explodes. Workers at recycling centers are in even more danger because you're having to reach into to these machines. It's a dangerous gig."
Staying unionized in the free-market dystopia of the recycling world isn't easy. "It's thanks to the fight that the men went through to build their union," says Brown. "We just organized Waste Management in the last five years. And they [Republic] ran a very vicious anti-union campaign. Regarding the Republic contract, we had strikes six or seven years ago, for two or three weeks, to hold on to our standards. These are multinational corporations with almost endless pockets."
And unionization dramatically affects how recycling is actually practiced. "One guy was fired when his supervisor came over the dispatch radio and said, 'They missed the recycling, go back and put it in your truck.' And he said, 'No, we're a garbage truck, not a recycling truck.' The supervisor said, 'I don't care, go back there.' Then a resident of Germantown videotaped him comingling garbage and recycling. So guess what, even though he was directly told by management to do it, they fired him. If that man had had a union, he could have said, no, it's against my contract to comingle."
To gain a little perspective on this international web of marketing and finance, comingling cheesy pizza boxes, National Swords, and deadly medical sharps, I went to a special meeting on recycling hosted by the Chickasaw Group of the Sierra Club last week. And there, at last, was a vantage from which you could see past the hills of rubbish.
A presentation by members Scott Banbury and Nancy Chung walked attendees through the current state of market-driven recycling, its wider context, and the many alternatives. But, unlike some explanations I'd received for the current recycling predicament, this narrative included a larger, industry-driven context. The future, according to some, is in plastics.
"The petrochemical industry wants a new market to replace any revenues they lose from people switching to electric cars," Banbury said. "These are cars that no longer need motor oil. They no longer have to have a bunch of chemicals that get put under our hoods. And they realize that, as electric cars are adopted, their market's going to decline. They want to replace that declining market, with making new plastic."
At the meeting, Banbury outlined the industry's future vision. As the Great Pacific Garbage Patch continues to grow, and the global market for recycled plastic shrinks to nil, what do we need? More plastic. He refers us to the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL), which writes that "The infrastructure to produce new plastics is growing rapidly. Massive investments in new plastics infrastructure rest on two critical, but as yet unquestioned, assumptions: 1) that demand will increase continuously and 2) that supplies of cheap feedstocks will remain available for decades."
Those cheap feedstocks include a new market for that unrecyclable plastic. "New industries are popping up that want to take the plastics that we're recycling and send them to facilities that heat the plastic up, using energy that is gonna have a Greenhouse impact, and break the plastic back down into the waxes, monomers, and fuel oil," says Banbury. These processes skirt existing waste incineration laws and dovetail with efforts to harvest more plastics-related chemicals from byproducts of fracking.
In sharp contrast, the spirit at the Sierra Club meeting was one of imagining more open futures, where any and all ideas were welcome. In a discussion that would have delighted Lamar and Davis, there was much brainstorming on how to educate Memphians about recycling smarter. There were anecdotes of apartment complex residents who had, on their own initiative, cut their garbage output and contracted privately to have their recycling picked up. There were testimonials about the wonders of the Compost Fairy, a local organization promoting composting as a way to reduce landfill waste from households, businesses, and communities.
For the first time since I'd been shocked into action by the sight of workers comingling my garbage and recycling bins, I saw a way out. Digging into the world of international recycling markets had set off warning bells more deafening than smoke alarms at a recycling plant. Somehow that simple act had led me to the knowledge that our waste and recycling process has reached a crisis point. I felt in the meeting room a shared motivation to act, perhaps best summed up by Banbury, who took a step back to reflect and said, "You've got to understand, we're just scraping and sucking Mother Earth dry. She's bleeding all over the place. And we just keep craving more of it."
