blind dating danny
Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. With the vast array of romantic comedies, this film stands apart from the rest by offering a different take on how to find love. That's the basic plot line here, with touches of cross-cultural dating and raunchy sex comedy thrown in haphazardly. Sign In. Writer: Christopher Theo. If it weren't for Chris Pine's natural charm, this movie probably wouldn't have been half as good. Will a girl be able to accept him as he is?
Watch the trailer. A charming young blind man signs up for a dangerous experimental procedure: brain surgery that may give him partial vision. While taking tests he falls hard for the lovely East Indian nurse, but she has been promised in an arranged marriage - a promise she feels she cannot break without dishonoring her family. But when the man's brain surgery goes unexpectedly awry, the crisis effects a reunion between the two young lovers. Written by gavin gunmasterM hotmail. Blind since birth "Danny" Chris Pine has never had a relationship with a woman and his brother "Larry" Eddie Kaye Thomas is intent on correcting this problem. Yet, although Danny is initially willing to go along with his brother's match-making arrangements, he soon discovers that all of the women he has been set up with have issues of their own which completely turns him off. But then one day he meets a health care assistant named "Leeza" Anjali Jay who intrigues him very much. Likewise, she also has feelings for him as well. The only problem is that she is engaged to another man and because of her Hindu upbringing she has a great deal of difficulty in trying to break things off with him. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was an okay romantic-comedy which is entertaining to a certain degree and definitely had some potential.
Like blind dating danny week's dismal WhiteoutBlind Dating has spent the last couple of years languishing in a vault awaiting a release on this web page magnificent shores.
A lightbulb must have materialised above a studio mogul's head when the movie's then-unknown star Chris Pine recently shot to prominence as James Kirk in J. Abrams's Star Trek reboot. So the stage was nicely click for Blind Dating to show us opinion dating a scorpio you there was life before Tiberius.
Sadly, while Pine is superb in the lead role, almost everything else fails to convince in this vastly uneven, unfunny and only sporadically dramatic enterprise. You see, Blind Dating is a movie about a blind man called Danny Pine who, erm, goes dating. He finds the possibility of true love with a receptionist Leeza Jaybut her strict Indian family already has something arranged for her on the marital front. But will she realise he's the one before he destroys himself with some risky eye-related operations that might allow him to look at her?
The structure and premise of the story aren't too bad at all, but the execution is lousy. As if the gimmicky punnery of that title isn't enough, the movie ends with KT Tunstall's 'Suddenly I See' blaring over the end credits after the predictable happy ending.
Presumably there's a deleted scene where Datinb traipses around in a park after a sudden shower to the sounds of a certain Jimmy Cliff classic. Pine works hard to demonstrate the rounded 'warts and all' nature of his character, who is as stubborn as he is brave. He comes across as a reasonably credible and sympathetic persona, so when he is plunged into a dark world of pioneering operations that might be able to restore his sight - but could prove fatal - you'd expect to be able to take the events seriously.
For this serious scenario is littered with a plethora of lazily-conceived supposedly article source caricatures that drag us kicking and screaming into a this web page of surreal tedium instead. None is worse than Danny's shrink Dr Evans, who has a fetish for discreetly stripping off naked in front of her blind patient for her own sexual arousal.
Incredulous indeed. Similarly, the exaggerated slapstick and desperation for OTT humour similarly hampers Danny's various dating mishaps, where the tone shifts into a realm that makes American Pie look like the datjng of witty sophistication. James Keach's direction blind dating danny lacks finesse, clearly signposting future events as ranny movie rolls on. For example, the first time Leeza dafing eyes on Danny, you can pretty much tell exactly how everything will play out.
Taken in isolation though, shorn of the calamitous crud around it, the scenes featuring Danny's post-op disorientation and deterioration do have some effective shock value.

Questioning Software: Why does test automation often fail to deliver?
Why does test automation often fail to deliver?
Testers are continually asked to test more in less time. Test automation is often considered to be a solution for testing more in less time. Software is automation. It makes sense to automate the testing of software. However, functional black box test automation rarely does more in less time. Why does automation seldom deliver faster, better, and cheaper testing?
The following problems are often encountered during test automation projects.
1. Tests are difficult to maintain and manage.
Many GUI test automation attempts to replace just a single step of the manual testing process: test execution. This can work well when there is value in repeatedly executing the same steps and the application is stable enough to run the same script multiple times. However, in the real word, applications change and doing the same thing over and over again is rarely beneficial. A thinking human tester still needs to create the tests, code the automation, review the results, and update the automation code every time the system changes. The development, maintenance, and management of automated test scripts often requires more time and money than manual test execution.
2. Test results are difficult to understand.
Test results need to be manually reviewed. Automated test results often do not contain enough information to determine what failed and why. Reviewing results takes time. Manually repeating the tests to determine what really happened takes even longer. Insufficient results reporting can easily negate any advantages of automation.
3. Application changes and bugs can prevent tests from completing.
Application changes and bugs that will not stop a human tester can easily stop automated test execution in its tracks due to cascading failures. A single failed step in an automated test can easily prevent execution of all later steps. Updating and restarting tests every time they encounter the unexpected is not an improvement over manual testing.
4. Tests retrace the same steps over and over, and don't find new bugs.
Scripted automation will repeat the same steps every time it is run. It will not encounter bugs that are not on the pre-cleared scripted path. Sometimes consistency is good, but consistency will not find new bugs. Many testers make the mistake of believing that their automated tests are doing the same things as a good manual tester. Scripted automation will only do what it is coded to do.
Functional black box test automation frequently requires more manual work to poorly do less than a human tester. This is the result of attempting to duplicate manual testing with automation. Attempting to duplicate manual testing processes not only fails to reduce costs or improve coverage; it creates additional manual work.
Useful software rarely mirrors the manual process that it replaces. Word processors are much more than virtual typewriters. Spreadsheet programs are more than virtual calculators. The process needs to change to take advantage of the strengths of the machine. People and machines have different strengths. A machine cannot think. A human tester is unlikely to be happy running tests all night or performing tedious calculations. Most software is built to assist human users, not replace them. Test automation should assist human testers, not attempt to replace them.
Arguing that computers cannot think like a human being, James Bach proposed the following test automation rules in a blog entry titled Manual Tests Cannot Be Automated.
A good manual test cannot be automated.
If you have a great automated test, it's not the same as the manual test that you believe you were automating.
A great automated test is one that assists testers by doing what is not easily done manually without creating more manual work than it replaces. Great automation goes beyond test execution by assisting with test generation and providing useful information to manual testers. Combining Model-Based Testing (MBT) with a tester-friendly automation framework is one way to improve the effectiveness of test automation.
Software is more reliable than people!

Fourge offers downtown location for shared workplace setting
Paul Welitzkin
GAYLORD — The Fourge Coworking Space is now a reality in Gaylord and the organization dedicated to the remote worker community will host a grand opening ceremony at 4 p.m. Thursday.
An open house will follow at its space in the Gaylord Area Council for the Arts Gallery at 125 E. Main St.
Fourge is the result of a unique partnership between co-founders Jessica Kane and Allison Boatman and the arts council.
"It's a great arrangement that is mutually beneficial to both organizations," said Kane. "The Gaylord arts council has a mission of creating a creative community and we get a space for our members with art all around plus a downtown location."
In a statement, Gaylord Area Arts Council Executive Director Lisa Marie Tobin said, "We are excited to collaborate with Fourge and offer a unique space for remote workers. We look forward to sharing our creative community with those who use the coworking space."
Coworking spaces are shared workspaces where professionals can access high-speed internet at a location designed to bolster creativity and orchestrate social connections. Since the COVID-19 pandemic hit nearly two years ago, remote working has soared in popularity.
Fourge is designed to serve entrepreneurs, small business owners, contractors, freelancers, and remote workers living in and around Gaylord. The organization is intentionally community-focused, and strives to foster an inclusive and welcoming environment for users of the space.
Kane said the coworking space can fulfill a lot of needs for those who aren't confined to a specific location for work.
"We are here for anyone that works from home and wants to have a change of scenery on occasion. Having another working environment can help people to step away from distractions, and the monotony and feelings of isolation which can arise from working at home every day," Kane said.
She said Fourge can also help those who work remotely for a couple of days a week or those who do it full time. A coworking space also provides a great way to network, especially if someone has just moved to the area.
"It can be hard to meet people when you move to town and this provides a convenient way to do that," added Kane.
Events such as special lunches and happy hours will also be provided to encourage networking.
Kane said the coworking space will also help drive economic development in the area.
"A lot of people want to live in Northern Michigan because of its recreational opportunities and in the past they may not have been able to come here," said Kane.
Kane said she has met people from California and Oklahoma that have relocated to Gaylord and are remote workers.
"Having a coworking space in Gaylord will add to the pull this area has because people will know that there is a community that they can turn to," she said.
There are various membership levels remote workers can sign up for with Fourge. A part-time membership enables someone to use the space two days a week for $54 a month while a daily pass is also available for $17. More information can be found on Fourge's website.

PARASITE: BLACK & WHITE EDITION (2019)
Drama-Comedy
Bong Joon-ho's dark satire masterpiece returns with a monochrome makeover which accentuates the film's bleak shades of class divide
"When the colours are gone, you can focus more on the actors' facial expressions and their eyes," promised Director Bong when asked about the black and white incarnation of his all-conquering Parasite.
Bong states it will give viewers a "different" and "strange" experience. For a film so different and strange already, this is quite a billing.
The director harbours a long-term fondness for monochrome films, insisting they offer a more intimate visual experience.
His comic family drama Mother (2009) was also afforded a black and white release, providing viewers with a fresh take on its suspenseful and surprising twists and turns.
Before we unpack how Parasite fares in this more classic cinema palette, it is worth comprehending why a modern film would ever feel the need to use black and white? With most people afforded a rich colour-filled view of the world, why would a visual experience such as cinema look to restrict that option?
The black and white experience is undeniably a differing one, but not a lesser one. For the right film, it is an improvement. Its advantages are that it allows filmmakers to provide an aesthetic which changes the textures, tones and visual markings of a film.
It has the twin power of making a film seem more real, perhaps aligning itself with a certain time period. Park Kwang-su's A Single Spark (1995) does this superbly by making the more recent timeline in colour and the one from the past in black and white.
It can also make films seem more 'unreal', as real life is in colour for most of us, perhaps providing a dream-like or surrealist impression of the film's world.
There is also a nostalgic element, one that Bong himself acknowledges: "It may be vanity on my part, but when I think of the classics, they're all in black and white," he said at the International Film Festival Rotterdam.
So what does a black and white Parasite provide?
While the dankness of the Kim's dingy small semi-basement apartment is emphasised in a manner you may expect, the light and glimmer of the Park's elaborate and expensive hilltop house are also brilliantly highlighted.
The street shot as Ki-woo approaches the Park house for the first time gives you a wash of brightness that you had previously been denied in the opening scenes with the Kims.
Those hallway lights and the ones leading down to the basement in the Park house seem to pop more with a black and white effect, though this might be contingent on knowing their significance from a prior in-colour viewing.
Bong's use of lines throughout - where the Parks and Kims are separated by linear marks - is also highlighted further, with the noise of colour dimmed so we can better see the divides.
Parasite, and Bong in particular, have been noted for their Hitchcockian styling and we can certainly more easily envision that comparison here.
There is no doubt there are some losses too. The rich red of the hot sauce, which is at first splashed onto food and then a tissue as fake blood, offers a stark warning with the implications of danger that match that colour. When they are dulled here, an edge is softened.
Is it still better for first-time viewers of Parasite to experience the full colour version on the initial outing, but those revisiting the majesty of Bong's magnum opus will find plenty of fresh territory in this monochrome variant.

CityFleet Networks, also known as CityFleet, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Singapore-based ComfortDelGro that operates coach services under the brand Westbus UK, as well as taxi services in a number of UK cities under the brands ComCab, CityFleet Business and Comfort Executive.

It was initially set up in July 2001 as a joint venture between Singapore's Delgro Corporation (later ComfortDelGro) (51%) and Australia-based Cabcharge Australia (49%). In Australia, a similar joint venture between the two companies, known as ComfortDelGro Cabcharge (CDC), would later be set up in 2005 to purchase the Westbus Group from National Express, which included Westbus Australia and Westbus UK. Westbus UK was reorganised to be under CityFleet, and continued to operate independently from the Westbus in Australia.

In June 2017, Cabcharge sold its 49% stake to ComfortDelGro. Earlier that year, ComfortDelGro Cabcharge also became wholly owned by ComfortDelGro and renamed ComfortDelGro Australia.

Operations
CityFleet Networks operates:
Westbus UK
ComCab (Computer Cab)
Comfort Executive
CityFleet Business

Westbus UK
In 1986, Westbus Australia purchased ADP Travel Services, Hounslow and Swinards Coaches, Ashford and operated them as Westbus UK.

The coach business of Armchair Passenger Transport, a bus and coach operation purchased by ComfortDelGro subsidiary Metroline in 2004, was amalgamated into Westbus UK in 2006.

Westbus UK, along with Westbus Australia, was purchased by ComfortDelGro Cabcharge in 2005. Westbus UK was reorganised under CityFleet Networks, and continues to operate independently from the Westbus in Australia (now defunct) till this day, despite bearing the latter's name, old logo and livery.

Taxi services
ComCab, also known as Computer Cab, operates taxi account, booking and dispatch services in London, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Liverpool, and operates a fleet of 6,300 radio taxis and private hire vehicles providing a service to local business and private customers. It was first established in 1974. CityFleet acquired Merseyside Radio Meter Cabs Ltd (better known as Merseycabs) in October 2008 and absorbed it into the Comcab business. In April 2018, CityFleet acquired Dial-a-cab, which is based in London. This would give a total fleet of 3000 taxis in the UK.

Comfort Executive offers executive car chauffeur services, as well as business transport. It was originally formed in 1974 as Flightlink International, and joined ComfortDelGro in 2006.

CityFleet also operates CityFleet Business.

Below are suggestions and typical locations honey bees are commonly found.
Eaves under roofs, Water meter boxes, Manholes, Electrical boxes, Gutter down-spouts, Abandoned vehicles, Abandoned appliances, Empty containers, Empty flower pots, Lumber piles, Utility infrastructure power poles, light poles, etc, Old tires, Garages, Outbuildings, Sheds, Inside of wall voids, Chimneys, Attics through vent holes, Soffits, Under portable buildings, Mobile homes, Under dog houses, Bird nest boxes, Hollow trees, Playground equipment, Exposed tree branches.
Eaves: Eaves make a great location for bees because they are spacious and usually have easy access. The best way to prevent infestation is to look around for access points like missing vent screens, holes, loose light fixtures, rotted areas, stucco not finished up to its termination point and cracks.
Water meter boxes: Bees commonly infest water meter boxes because the finger hole in the lid is big enough to allow access. You can help prevent infestation by putting tape over the hole or something similar to that.
Electrical boxes: Sometimes people call us thinking they have bees in their electrical box, but in fact, the bees are in the wall behind the box. On occasion builders do not install the electrical box flat on the wall creating an access point. Most people do not know that there is a large hole in the back of some electrical boxes so wires can enter the house. The way we suggest to remedy this is to caulking around the outside of the box.
Empty containers and flower pots: Empty containers and pots make great locations for bees because they are large enough for bees to build a colony in. We have removed countless colonies from these places. This is the easiest of all to fix, just turn empty containers and flower pots right side up.
Utility infrastructures: Power poles, light poles, etc are more challenging. Steel and concrete poles are hollow making a good home for bees. Bees often locate an opening usually a "mounting hole" and find their way inside. The fix for this is more difficult because it's usually high requiring a lift. In these cases you might try stucco, clay, rubber wine corks, screws or bolts to plug the holes.
Out buildings and sheds: Out buildings and sheds, out buildings usually have double sided walls creating a space for bees to make a home. Usually there is a rotted area on the outside and bees find access to the hollow space. The fix for this is to repair the damaged areas or remove the inner paneling thus eliminating the hollow. Sheds: Infestation usually occurs under shed floors. Here are some suggestions. Place dirt or something similar around the bottom preventing access to the hollow space. Raise the shed 12 -- 18 inches or so off the ground. Bees like to be enclosed so they are less likely to make that area their home.
Walls and chimneys: Walls; Bees find access into walls through cracks in the stucco, Holes drilled for hurricane shudders, water spigots and AC lines. The fix is easy; you can use stucco patch, exterior caulk, spray foam or something similar to repair the opening. Chimneys; Chimneys are among the more difficult areas to remove bees because of the complex structural design. You should look for separation, cracks in stucco and holes of any kind.
Soffits: Soffits are relatively easy to prevent infestation. Look for any loose wood, air vents not covered with screen, cracks or openings bigger than ¼ inch and loose light fixtures.
Under portable buildings, mobile homes and dog houses: Portable buildings and mobile homes; The usual suspect area is the fabric that holds the insulation under the structure. It is usually separated or torn away from the structure allowing access to the under side.The fix is as easy as reattaching the fabric. Dog houses; You need to eliminate the hollow space under it. You can lift the dog house and placing dirt or rocks under it eliminate the hollow space and bees will look elsewhere for a home.
Bird nest boxes: We get calls frequently for bees in a bird house. There is no easy prevention for this one. There are some pesticides the can be safely used on the "top" of the bird house that helps prevent bee infestation however we do not suggest doing that yourself.
Hollow trees: Hollow trees are interesting because you would never suspect how far the hollows can go and how big they can get. Old avocado, oak, cypress and ponytail palm trees are among the most common although any tree could get hollowed out. Honey bees do not burrow into trees causing it to hollow out, it occurs entirely naturally, filling the holes can help prevent infestation.
Playground equipment: Some play ground equipment has a hollow space under it. The fix is the same as with the dog house, put dirt, rocks or something similar under it filling the hollow. No space no bee infestation.
Exposed tree branches and outside of soffits: Yes, the bees finally found a place you cannot do much to prevent. Sometimes bees decide to build their nest outside in the wide open, dang it. Bees are time limited, and by that I mean they have precious little time to find a place and build a nest. If honey bees can't find an enclosed nesting spot they will be forced to build it on the outside.

Q: Custom message filter for SmartDevice application Since Compact Framework calls Show() on the form passed to Application.Run(), I decided to create my own message pump.
I've no idea how can I do that.
Any help (like a simple example) will be appreciated.

A: I found this to be a larger problem than you would anticipate for a windows form application. For my solution I pulled suggestions from three different website and found this solution to work very well. For my needs I have a Windows Service that has a UI controller component in the system tray. The UI needs to start up minimized with just the tray icon and a context menu for the icon. The UI operates as a modal dialog when activated, allowing the user to start a long running process on a background thread, once started the UI needs to resume taking responses from the user.
In the constructor for the Windows Form class I set the ControlBox on and disabled the minimize and maximize buttons:
public SystemTrayApp()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    this.Visible = false;
    // Hide Maximize and Minimize buttons on form
    this.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterScreen;
    this.MaximizeBox = false;
    this.MinimizeBox = false;
}

The ControlBox needs to be enable to allow the user to move the dialog around on the screen but not change it size, to disable the form close button, red X in upper right hand corner of form, I used:
// Force form close button to be disabled
private const int CP_NOCLOSE_BUTTON = 0x200;
protected override CreateParams CreateParams
{
   get
   {
      CreateParams cp = base.CreateParams;
      cp.ClassStyle = cp.ClassStyle | CP_NOCLOSE_BUTTON;
      return cp;
   }
}

In the main program where the static Main method runs on application start-up, I changed the default Application.Run to:
static class Program
{
    /// <summary>
    /// The main entry point for the application.
    /// </summary>
    [STAThread]
    static void Main()
    {
        Application.EnableVisualStyles();
        Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
        SystemTrayApp systemTrayApp = new SystemTrayApp();
        systemTrayApp.Text = "File Copy Service Controller";

        // Show the instance of the form modally.
        systemTrayApp.ShowInTaskbar = true;
        systemTrayApp.ShowDialog();
        Application.Run();
    }
 }

Now show the design page for the Windows form, right click the form and select properties, next select the events button to show all events for the form. Scroll down to the Shown event and double click, a new event handler will be added to your source code. Navigate to the method and add this.Hide() to the handler:
// Runs the first time the application starts
private void SystemTrayApp_Shown(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   this.Hide();
}

Finally open the properties page for the Windows Form project and select the Application tab. Under Startup object, select the Program class as the startup object.
You will need to add a button or menu control to your dialog to allow closing the form without terminating the application, set the button or menu control to hide the application, leaving it running in the system tray.

A: *

*Did you try to catching the VisibleChanged event?

this.Shown += new EventHandler(Form1_Shown);
void Form1_Shown(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.Hide();
}

*

*You can also try to intercept the message by overriding the WndProc.

    protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
    {
        const int SW_SHOW = 5;
        if (m.Msg == SW_SHOW)
        {
            //DoSomething();
        }

        base.WndProc(ref m);
    }

*

*A typical message pump looks like following:

MSG msg;
while(GetMessage(&msg, hwnd, 0, 0))
{
    TranslateMessage(&msg);
    DispatchMessage(&msg);
    // DoSomething.
}

*

*You may also like to read about Application.DoEvents() method.

A: Replacing the message loop in the Application class is not practical.  There is far more going on then the boilerplate Windows message loop.  It isn't the real problem anyway, the Application class forces the form to become visible with a call to ShowWindow().  That's necessary because forms are lazily initialized, without the ShowWindow() call it never creates the native Window handle.
This issue is easy to fix in the regular .NET framework version by overriding SetVisibleCore():
protected override void SetVisibleCore(bool value) {
  if (!this.IsHandleCreated) {
    this.CreateHandle();
    value = false;  // Prevent becoming visible the first time
  }
  base.SetVisibleCore(value);
}

But I don't think that's available in CF.  To find a solution, you'll need to explain exactly why you want to prevent the UI from being shown.  Without any created window handle, an app is usually dead as a doornail.  It could be as simple as delaying the Application.Run() call.

IFAS; Extension For-Sale Educational Resources
SUBJECT: IFAS; Extension For-Sale Educational Resources
The purpose of this memorandum is to outline the policy and procedures for the development and sale of IFAS educational resources resulting from UF/IFAS research and extension programming. These resources include, but are not limited to, publications, audiotapes, videos, posters, identification decks, CD-ROMS and computer software. The sale of such resources has become an essential component of delivering viable educational programs to the public. This policy covers resources developed primarily from, but not limited to, the IFAS Incidental Account that are intended for sale or are currently being sold by IFAS Communication Services from the IFAS-Extension Bookstore, including resources developed by Sea Grant, Energy, 4-H, Information Technology, the Pesticide Information Office, and other auxiliary programs.
Development and Production
IFAS Communication Services (ICS) is the lead office in assisting programs with the evaluation of target markets and calculation of production costs. ICS must review all projects prior to production for cost-effectiveness and market-worthiness, regardless of their funding source, if the item is to be sold or distributed through the IFAS-Extension Bookstore. Projects are facilitated through ICS by completing IFAS Form 2840 (Extension Transmittal: Plan of Work Projects) to start the production process. Form 2840 is available for download at http://ics.ifas.ufl.edu/forms.html. Sale Product numbers (SP#) will no longer be issued for products that have not been through the UF/IFAS departmental review process.
The review process requires approval from the appropriate program leader that the material is consistent with the extension mission and plan of work; reasonable assurance from ICS that the product is market-worthy and can be reproduced in a cost effective manner; and final approval from the Office of the Dean for Extension prior to the production of the resource.
Production costs, quantities, marketing, and distribution will be determined according to the audience for which the educational resource is intended, and will aid in determining the designation of an item as a for-sale product. For this reason, unit heads and/or faculty should contact ICS as soon as a product or resource generates interest beyond its use as a free resource in extension programming. Ideas for new products generated by committees and other IFAS-based groups should be presented to ICS prior to development if the IFAS-Extension Bookstore is expected to warehouse, market and sell the resource. For-sale resources resulting from collaboration with other organizations are subject to the same procedures for development, marketing and distribution as products generated internally at IFAS, and must be priced according to ICS policy if they are to be sold/distributed by the IFAS-Extension Bookstore.
ICS will be the lead office in coordinating the marketing and promotional activities for IFAS for-sale educational resources in order to insure that university requirements regarding the use of word marks, titles, credits, and the like, have been met and to avoid duplication of marketing efforts. No educational resources should be promoted on departmental web pages or other venues until said resource is in production and scheduled for delivery to the IFAS-Extension Bookstore.
Faculty, county extension faculty and staff should not engage in contracting sales or distribution of products sold by IFAS-Extension Bookstore to third party resellers. All requests regarding the purchase and/or reselling of IFAS educational resources by a third party should be referred to the IFAS-Extension Bookstore manager at ICS. Faculty qualifying educational resources they have developed for Continuing Education Credits (CEC) with the University of Florida and/or other institutions should notify the IFAS-Extension Bookstore manager at ICS upon verification of CEC viability.
ICS pricing policy operates in accordance with the University Cost Accounting Standards. Each for-sale educational resource will be developed with the objectives of recovering production costs and, where feasible, continuing support for the program of origin. In keeping with the extension education mission, the contents of extension publications are available free of charge via EDIS.
University Cost Accounting Standards recognize the viability of educational resources in book, video and compact disc format, and allow for the recovery of costs associated with marketing and distribution of such resources to make them widely available. This allows educational resources, formerly priced for production cost recovery, to include the additional costs of making the information available in formats other than electronically in the pricing formula.
The pricing formula is: total unit production costs + marketing costs + warehousing and exhibition costs + funds returned to the unit of origin to support programming = retail price of product. Exhibition, warehousing, and marketing costs are currently determined at 50 to 150% of production costs, and include the costs of providing complimentary copies to authors and Extension offices. Prices are adjusted in compliance with the mission of making Extension education programs and related resources available for minimal cost to the public in a competitive market.
Sales tax is not collected on IFAS Educational Resources sold to County Extension Offices, Research and Education Centers, IFAS student organizations, entities possessing a State of Florida tax-exempt certificate, or entities possessing state-issued reseller certificates. The University of Florida's tax-exempt status as a state agency does not extend to any other campus or professional organization under its auspice. The IFAS-Extension Bookstore and other IFAS entities must collect the appropriate sales tax on sales of educational resources to the general public. Sales tax collected by the IFAS-Extension Bookstore follows State of Florida Sales Tax Rules and Regulations. County Extension Offices have the option of obtaining their own tax resale number, and must collect and report all taxes (percentage added to state 6% by county government) in their county.
Pro-rated revenue from the sale of educational resources is returned to the department or research and education center to support the program of the faculty member(s) who produced the publication. Revenue from printed products will be returned quarterly to departments at the rate of 5% of the price of the product on all printed materials in inventory on January 1, 2002. There should be no expectation on the part of department or research and education center for revenue return in large amounts from for-sales unless a product has wide appeal in a viable market. ICS negotiates with IFAS units a revenue return rate on all new printed products entering the IFAS-Extension Bookstore inventory after January 1, 2002. The rate of return in most cases will be 10% and will become part of the pricing formula for new print products. However, ICS reserves the right to negotiate with the unit of origin a return rate that can be higher than 10% based on how the production of a product may have been funded, i.e. from grants or other sources outside of the incidental accounts. The chair or director of the unit of origin and author(s) of the resource are responsible for determining how the returned revenue will be used.
The revenue return rate on the sales of software products to departments will be 70% of the total sales, returned quarterly. The revenue return rate to departments on video products and other types of multimedia will be 40% of total sales or other negotiated rates, returned quarterly. ICS and the unit of origin may negotiate a return rate on video products and other types of multimedia different from 40% based on how the production of a product may have been funded.
The revenue from sales returned to the for-sale program in ICS is used to fund the printing and production of new items in the IFAS-Extension Bookstore; revise and reproduce existing projects and products; fund marketing materials used by the bookstore and provided to the county offices; the travel and exhibit fees necessary to promote the resources at conferences and trade shows; complimentary copies necessary to marketing efforts and published reviews; and continue to find new products for the IFAS-Extension Bookstore inventory.
To maximize exposure and delivery of IFAS Extension educational resources, discounts will be provided to publishing houses and other bulk quantity buyers. Discounts now apply to most, but not all, educational resources sold by the IFAS-Extension Bookstore as follows:
40% Discount: A 40% discount off the retail price is given to in-house buyers and resellers. In-house buyers include all faculty, staff, and student organizations of IFAS purchasing quantities of 10 or more. Student organizations within IFAS may use this discount to purchase resources to be resold as fundraisers.
Community/professional organizations in which IFAS faculty, staff or students serve as members or officers do not qualify as "IFAS organizations" and may not purchase resources to be resold for revenue (see 25% discount).
Resellers are defined as those persons or businesses possessing a valid tax resale certificate and purchasing in quantities of 10 or more. Resellers include book/retail stores, museum gift shops, online stores, catalog publishers, and the like.
In recognition of the fact that IFAS cannot fund unlimited complimentary copies to authors, editors and graphic designers who worked on a resource, the 40% discount is also extended to faculty authors purchasing additional copies of their own works, and to editors and graphic designers purchasing additional copies of resources on which they worked. In this instance only, the 10-item minimum is waived and the discount is good on any quantity.
25% Discount: A 25% discount off the retail price is given to anyone outside IFAS purchasing 25 or more resources for personal/educational use - not for resale. This includes, but is not limited to, trade and professional organizations, education associations, nonprofit organizations, singular customers and companies buying resources in quantity to be used for employee training.
A limited number of complimentary samples are distributed as follows: copy to the appropriate extension agent in some or all county offices, copy to each District Extension Director, ten copies to the author or department of origin, one copy to the department chair or director, and samples as needed to support the marketing efforts of the IFAS-Extension Bookstore.
The primary point of sale for all extension educational resources is:
IFAS-Extension Bookstore
Building 440, Mowry Road
Gainesville, FL 32611-0011
This location services telephone orders, mail orders, web-page orders and walk-in customers.
Questions about production of for-sale resources, pricing, discounts, third party sales, marketing materials and consignments should be directed to:

Calling all Startups - Launch your idea ASAP!
Created on Jan 28, 2015 .
Apps Business Startups
Why startups should launch their business idea as soon as possible. The challenges in launching a new idea.
Over the last 7 years, Aquevix has helped several entrepreneurs build applications for their brand. We've been lucky to have worked with a diverse set of innovators across diverse verticals and formed lasting relationships with them in the process.
We've seen the problems that they face up close, the challenges and the uncertainty in launching a new idea.
Somewhere in all of that, we've observed recurrent patterns of mistakes and misconceptions that could have been easily avoided. In some cases, the reason is an incomplete understanding of the mobile ecosystem. In others, it's a brittle software architecture and sometimes it's simply a lack of sound planning and phasing.
Whatever the problems, the outcomes are almost always the same: delays in building the app, subsequent delays in launching the app and finally a finished product that is way past the opportunity window and sometimes, way off the mark in terms of required features.
At times we've had to rebuild the idea up to an extent and include certain changes or make improvements. On other occasions we've had to take it apart and start from scratch because the product they had, lacked scalability, was poorly planned, had poor monetization options designed in the initial concept and most commonly with a bad architecture.
This is why we've launched the Aquevix Startup Advice Program (ASAP), aiming at providing expert advice to startups with an awesome idea and budget to start building it but lacking sufficient know how on how to proceed and how to develop it.
If a startup founder approaches us with the next million dollar idea with it still resting ' inside their head' for want of favourable conditions to launch and start development, we're here to assist them in bringing forth their innovation to the world ASAP.
Following the immense success of the App Advice Program launched last year, we felt that a focused approach for Startups was required as there is a more expansive range of issues that are relevant to a startup's fledgling idea and needs greater attention.
ASAP is aimed at offering valuable advice to innovators with startup ideas so that they can hit the ground running and launch their ideas in the market before their competitors do.
If you need a software solution for your fledgling business, just contact us with your startup idea and get a free consultation from our startup experts. We will advise you on matters that can make or break your startup. From deciding the right platform & architecture for building your idea, to addressing critical concerns like scalability and monetization options, Aquevix can guide you through it all even if you're an industry novice.
So what are you waiting for? Get in touch with us today and launch your idea ASAP!

Parents, Beware: A PAW Patrol Movie Is Coming to Theaters Next Summer
If you're lucky, your kid will have outgrown it by then.
By Cameron LeBlanc
Updated Feb 26 2020, 11:21 AM
There is a lot to hate about PAW Patrol, an anarcho-capitalist fantasy masquerading as a children's television show. But unfortunately, there's a lot to love about it if you're a kid who's obsessed with the show or an executive looking to make even more money off of the PAW Patrol brand.
And that's exactly what's going to happen. The show was just extended to an eighth season, but there's even bigger news. Deadline reported late last week that PAW Patrol: The Movie is officially happening. Ryder, Chase, Marshall, Rubble, Skye, Rocky, Zuma, Everest and Tracker are slated to come to a theater near you in August 2021.
The movie will be the first from Spin Master's entertainment division. The toy company is producing the movie with Nickelodeon Movies. This makes a lot of sense, as Nickelodeon broadcasts the show in the U.S. and globally.
"Expanding PAW Patrol into the world of theatricals is a major milestone for this iconic property, and we can't wait for kids and families everywhere to experience it together," said Brian Robbins, the president of Nickelodeon.
The move feels inevitable, as in many ways a movie is just another piece of merchandise for kids to clamor for and parents to reluctantly spend their money on.
It's too early for any kind of story details, but the smart money is on Ryder and the gang being called into service thanks to some kind of disaster threatening Thunder Bay Adventure Bay.
(This article originally and incorrectly claimed that PAW Patrol is set in Thunder Bay, a real city in Ontario. But while the show itself is quite Canadian, it's set in Adventure Bay, a city we can all be thankful is not real. I regret the error, and issue a full apology, particularly to any Canadian readers.)
It might be tricky to expand this basic plot structure, seen in every episode of PAW Patrol ever, to a feature-length film, but we can't imagine they'd abandon the formula that's turned the show into a massive hit.

Members of the Hirschowitz Learning Community in the LC space.The Learning Communities (LCs) play an instrumental role for students' navigating medical school. Every year first-year students are introduced to their Learning Communities based on their regional campus assignments for clinical work. Learning Communities are named after inspiring and prominent figures within the School of Medicine's past and are intended to remind students of what they can achieve.
Recently, the students in six LCs that had yet to be formally named after a prominent School of Medicine figure were given the opportunity to select names for their communities. The list of potential names included short biographies of each figure and his/her accomplishments.
The students selected the following names: Barfield-Carter, Finley, Hamilton, Lyons, McCallum and Oparil.
The Woods community has been renamed the Barfield-Carter community after Melson Barfield-Carter, M.D. Dr. Barfield-Carter became the first female faculty member of the School of Medicine and the first female named as chair of a department (radiology.) She was described as a hard worker who was dedicated and firm in her convictions. She was known to go out of her way for others and enjoyed entertaining the faculty, residents, technologists and students at her home in Birmingham and cabin in Guntersville.
The Leisch community has been renamed the Hamilton community after Herschell Lee Hamilton, M.D., otherwise known as the "Dog Bite Doctor." Dr. Hamilton earned this nickname as well as the "battle surgeon" for often providing medical care, including surgery, to the residents of Birmingham who were sick or injured during the civil rights movement. When he arrived in Birmingham, he was its first African-American board-certified general surgeon.
The Heersink community has been renamed the Lyons community after Champ Lyons, M.D. Dr. Lyons first arrived to Birmingham in 1950 to become the first full-time chair of Surgery in 1950 and remained there until his passing in 1965. In the year of his death, Dr. Lyons became one of the first members of the faculty in the history of the university to be named a Distinguished Professor.
The Khoury community has been renamed the Finley community after Wayne Finley, M.D., Ph.D., and Sara Finley, M.D. The Finleys were considered pioneers in the field of medical genetics after co-founding the Laboratory of Medical Genetics, the first center of its kind in the Southeast. They also spent a year in Sweden studying under Uppsala's Jan Böök, director of the Institute for Medical Genetics.
The Sellers community has been renamed the McCallum community after Charles McCallum, Jr., DMD, M.D. Dr. McCallum, or as his close friends called him "Scotty," completed his residency program at UAB as an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. He served as vice president for Health Affairs and director of the medical center. In 1987, he became the third president of UAB. After stepping down as president, he was named a Distinguished Professor. People close to him describe his great empathy for students and his warm personality.

PUBLISHED: December 5, 2021 at 5:00 a.m. | UPDATED: December 5, 2021 at 5:00 a.m.
NEW YORK (AP) — Paul Thomas Anderson's "Licorice Pizza" has been named the best film of the year by the National Board of Review.
Anderson also won best director honors and the film's stars Alana Haim and Cooper Hoffman were picked for their breakthrough performances in the coming-of-age comedy. The National Board of Review is an organization comprised of film enthusiasts, academics and film professionals that dates back to 1909.
Both Will Smith (best actor) and Aunjanue Ellis (best supporting actress) won for their performances in the Richard Williams drama "King Richard." The title of best actress went to newcomer Rachel Zegler for her performance in Steven Spielberg's "West Side Story."
Other picks included Ciarán Hinds as best supporting actor for "Belfast"; Asghar Farhadi for the script to "A Hero"; and best adapted screenplay to Joel Coen for "The Tragedy of Macbeth," which was also chosen for Bruno Delbonnel's cinematography.
Disney's "Encanto" took best animated feature; "A Hero" won for best foreign language film; Questlove's "Summer of Soul (…Or When the Revolution Could not Be Televised)" took best documentary honors; and Jeymes Samuel's "The Harder They Fall" won for best ensemble. A freedom of expression honor will go to the animated refugee documentary "Flee."
The awards will be handed out in a gala dinner on Jan. 11, with Willie Geist hosting. Last year, the National Board of Review chose Spike Lee's "Da 5 Bloods" as the best film of 2020.

The St George Illawarra Dragons defeated the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 52-18 at ANZ Stadium, Olympic Park on Friday.
The Young Dragons scored ten tries in the routing including a hat-trick to Matt Dufty, and doubles to Jai Field, Izaac Thompson and Paora Kemp respectively.
Head Coach Mat Head had made two changes prior to kick-off with Izaac Thompson taking the place of Tony Pellow on the wing, while Illawarra Steelers SG Ball Grand Finalist Cooper Purcell made his National Young Competition debut from the bench.
The Young Dragons got the scoreboard ticking over early with winger Paora Kemp diving over in the left corner for a 4-0 lead after three minutes.
Dragons winger Izaac Thompson and five-eighth Jai Field both got their names on the scoresheet, each set up by centre Patrick Herbert, minutes later.
Field converted both attempts to make it 16-0.
Fullback Matt Dufty, who recently re-siigned for a further two seasons with the Club, continued the Dragons point-a-minute scoring, slicing through the Bulldogs line off the back of a scrum to go in untouched from 40 metres out.
Thompson grabbed a first half double shortly after, showing his strength to push off three defenders before slamming the ball down 10 metres in from touch.
Field converted the try to give the Dragons a 26-0 lead after 22 minutes.
It did not take long for Dufty to notch his second try of the game, courtesy of an inside ball from Field to extend the Dragons lead.
Field added the extra two points from the sideline to give his team a 32-0 lead moments before the interval.
However, the Bulldogs snuck one in just before the break, with fullback Josh Bergamin setting up winger Jack Gleeson in the corner.
Bulldogs five-eighth Adam Keighran converted the try from the sideline to send the visitors into the sheds down 32-6.
The Dragons continued their dominance after the break, with unconverted tries to both Dufty and Field pushing the lead out to 34 points with half an hour remaining.
The Bulldogs picked up their sole second half try with 15 minutes remaining through prop Bailey Simonsson.
Keighran's conversion made it 40-12.
Tries to Kemp and Herbert in the space of four minutes see the Young Dragons increase their lead out to 40 points with five minutes remaining.
A late converted try to second rower D'Rhys Miller with under two minutes remaining pulls the Bulldogs decifit back to 34 points.
St George Illawarra Dragons: 52 Tries: Dufty (3), Field (2), Thompson (2), Kemp (2), Herbert. Goals: Kemp (6/10).
Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs: 18 Tries: Gleenson, Bergamin, Miller Goals: Keighran (3/3).


It's Sunday! Time for another forensic challenge to get your minds revved up for another week of investigations. This week I have something of a moderate difficulty so I'm hoping a wider range of people will give this a try. As in prior weeks the most complete answer wins, however if two people have the same information and completeness I will declare the one who commented fully first the winner. The prize this week? A Seagate Desktop Plus 4TB external drive with a USB3 dock, as seen here.

My name is Miles Wickham, and i am also known as the graffiti artist RESKEW. I'm a self taught artist. I got into graffiti in high school in Brooklyn, NYC, when i was 15, in 2000. In 2007 i realized the limitations in self expression i had developed by being so immersed in graffiti, and went on a quest to discover the purest form for me.
