Since its opening in 1973, the iconic Sydney Opera House, located in Sydney Harbour in Sydney, New South Wales, has been one of the world's most famous buildings, with its distinctive roof of sail-shaped shell structures.
As one of the most popular visitor attractions in Australia, the site is visited by more than 8 million people annually, and approximately 350,000 visitors take a guided tour of the building each year.
In 2007, the building also became a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
After almost 50 years serving the performing arts, the building underwent a major upgrade, ensuring that it can continue to serve for many more years.
To meet the demands of the client mageba supplied RESTON- SPHERICAL bearings for the project.
Following the approval of the products' designs, the structural bearings were fabricated in mageba's Shanghai factory and shipped to Sydney.
Upon arrival, they were tested at mageba's NATA-certified laboratory (ILAC MRA) in Sydney using a project-specific test setup, and delivered to the Opera House.
Finally, to ensure the proper long-term performance and to avoid any delays arising from errors or queries, mageba's local staff were on site to supervise the bearings' installation.

Beautiful until the last petal drops!
Take a second out of your busy day and enjoy the delicate tulip-like flowers that appear in late winter, early spring.
Vincent Brice and Miles Joyner admire the vintage cars in Lincoln Square parking lot, (Oakland Hills) as they sip on milkshakes from Sparky's.
Tuesday morning I was driving along Skyline Boulevard in the Oakland Hills and I was struck by the view. Oakland is such a beautiful city and one of the highlights is the view of the Bay and San Francisco. Tuesday we had thick fog that covered most of the city, but on Skyline Boulevard, I was above it all. Look at the blanket of fog!

""It's fascinating once you really start learning about what goes on underneath there," said Karen Vail, education coordinator at Yampatika, a nonprofit organization that focuses on nature-oriented educational programs. Life beneath the snowpack is one of the many topics residents and visitors learn about when they accompany Vail and other Yampatika naturalists on snowshoe and ski tours in and near Steamboat Springs."
"Sitting mesmerized by a fire, we cannot help but feel a deep-seated inner connection with the yellow, glowing flame. For winter outdoorsmen, fire can still mean the difference between life and death, but for skiers, fishermen or snowshoers, the role of fire is not usually that dramatic; a good fire provides dry clothing, warm hands, hot beverages and cooked food. Those confident in building fires enjoy the winter outdoors in comfort, but they also possess an important survival skill, which could save their lives in an emergency situation."
"We've had our first snow. Not much but enough to tease. The hope of further snowfall now hangs in the air as many hope for temperature drops and anticipate the chilly fun that often results. "Snow has a magical effect on people," says Sharon Blume, executive director of the Stamford Museum & Nature Center. "It turns all of us into kids who can't wait to get outside and play." Question is when and where can we play? Finding open space can be challenging."
"N.H. News Briefs Hampton Lawyer Discipline CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - An investigative committee has recommended a Hampton lawyer be disbarred. Arthur Randlett mishandled nearly $190,000 of client money, either by funneling it to himself or to a bank account that paid his law firm's expenses, the Supreme Court's Professional Conduct Committee said. Randlett broke 16 professional conduct rules, including failing to keep his clients informed of cases, not being honest with clients and failing to separate client money from his own, the committee said. It's unclear whether Randlett could face criminal charges."
"Lake Benton, Minn. - Three and a half minutes up the hill - less than 20 seconds down. Those figures are what a Lake Benton group is hoping people will learn when they take to the slopes this winter at Hole in the Mountain Park. Idle for a decade, the park's full-service tubing hill will once again be open to the public thanks to efforts by the Lake Benton Economic Development Corporation and Chamber of Commerce. When EDC members approached Phil Schmidt about helping, he jumped at the chance. "When they said they wanted to start it up again I thought this would be just a great opportunity for the kids," Schmidt said."
"Steve Harper of Helena will give a presentation on the 2 months he and his family spent in South Africa. Harper's children were enrolled in a Methodist school near Durban, while he and his wife volunteered at the school. This racially mixed school was started illegally during Apartheid and was mostly Zulu. The family then traveled from northern South Africa to Swaziland to the tip of South Africa, with stops at seven national parks. A highlight was the world-famous Kruger National Park. This event is hosted by the Helena Outdoor Club."

Jim Watson. Main's father was ahead of her on Skyline Trail, which connects California to Nevada near the top of the mountain, when he looked back and discovered she was missing, Watson said. He trudged back up the trail and found her unconscious by the tree around 3:15 p.m."

Media Walls – The Perfect Bra..
Media walls are perfect for an extensive range of festival and event signage options and are your premier option for sponsor promotion and brand awareness. All events are unique and have their own style and what a better way to distinguish yourself from the crowd with a personalised and unique media wall to capture the audiences attention. The most common way event organisers are able to distinguish themselves is through a physical sense; through artistry and design they allow themselves and their sponsors memorable to their audience. Many events are flooded with sponsors that all want to get a slice of the attention and what a better way than to achieve optimal branding results than with media wall signage.
In an advertising sense, the use of media walls and event walls for festivals and events is that they generally see tens of thousands of people congregate to a small enclosed space or they have a huge television presence which gains exposure to the masses. There is often a large amount of physical areas with wasted space that could be occupied and used for advertising space in need of covers, media walls and bars or stand wraps along with many more. For sponsors they guarantee a large audience and exposure for their brand and/or message.
Versatility is of high importance and different sizes are often needed for different events. As a result there a varying sizes available to suit all events generally ranging from 2.3m (width) x 2.26 (heights) to 6m (width) x 2.26m (height). To ensure you get the right event wall option speak to the experts and various companies such as ourselves at Mesh Direct to have the right product for the right application.
Media walls have featured and become apart of the event landscape over the past decade and have been seen in some of the largest events in Australia. Events often have tough time constraints and as a result the media wall acquiring process has been perfected to adapt to time pressures and logistical constraints with supplying media walls for events. There are even event printing apps to ensure that things run as smoothly as possible.
Media walls are the perfect option for event and festivals such as brand and product promotions , concerts, product launches, theatrical, media walls for media events, sporting events, marathons, church events, school events and community events. All products created by companies such as Mesh Direct are produced from the highest quality inks and substrates using the latest print technology and are all printed here in Australia. They are companies that you can trust for all your media wall and banner solutions for events, not only to deliver on time, on budget and on spec, but they also pride themselves on providing fantastic service.


my belly was full of pizza but there was still space to shotgun a beer in the game room at cici's. i've got a 24 pack of leinenkugel when i was on tour and had been slowly adding them to my daily beer diet because i like them and didn't want to run out...but now they are all gone.
they have 3 more varieties in cans so if anyone can track them down i'd be happy to receive them.

puppet-apply(8) -- Apply Puppet manifests locally
========

SYNOPSIS
--------
Applies a standalone Puppet manifest to the local system.

USAGE
-----
puppet apply [-h|--help] [-V|--version] [-d|--debug] [-v|--verbose]
  [-e|--execute] [--detailed-exitcodes] [-l|--logdest <file>] [--noop]
  [--catalog <catalog>] [--write-catalog-summary] <file>

DESCRIPTION
-----------
This is the standalone puppet execution tool; use it to apply
individual manifests.

When provided with a modulepath, via command line or config file, puppet
apply can effectively mimic the catalog that would be served by puppet
master with access to the same modules, although there are some subtle
differences. When combined with scheduling and an automated system for
pushing manifests, this can be used to implement a serverless Puppet
site.

Most users should use 'puppet agent' and 'puppet master' for site-wide
manifests.

OPTIONS
-------
Note that any configuration parameter that's valid in the configuration
file is also a valid long argument. For example, 'tags' is a
valid configuration parameter, so you can specify '--tags <class>,<tag>'
as an argument.

See the configuration file documentation at
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/configuration.html for the
full list of acceptable parameters. A commented list of all
configuration options can also be generated by running puppet with
'--genconfig'.

* --debug:
  Enable full debugging.

* --detailed-exitcodes:
  Provide transaction information via exit codes. If this is enabled, an exit
  code of '2' means there were changes, an exit code of '4' means there were
  failures during the transaction, and an exit code of '6' means there were both
  changes and failures.

* --help:
  Print this help message

* --loadclasses:
  Load any stored classes. 'puppet agent' caches configured classes
  (usually at /etc/puppet/classes.txt), and setting this option causes
  all of those classes to be set in your puppet manifest.

* --logdest:
  Where to send messages. Choose between syslog, the console, and a log
  file. Defaults to sending messages to the console.

* --noop:
  Use 'noop' mode where Puppet runs in a no-op or dry-run mode. This
  is useful for seeing what changes Puppet will make without actually
  executing the changes.

* --execute:
  Execute a specific piece of Puppet code

* --verbose:
  Print extra information.

* --catalog:
  Apply a JSON catalog (such as one generated with 'puppet master --compile'). You can
  either specify a JSON file or pipe in JSON from standard input.

* --write-catalog-summary
  After compiling the catalog saves the resource list and classes list to the node
  in the state directory named classes.txt and resources.txt

EXAMPLE
-------
    $ puppet apply -l /tmp/manifest.log manifest.pp
    $ puppet apply --modulepath=/root/dev/modules -e "include ntpd::server"
    $ puppet apply --catalog catalog.json

Neil Jacobs
Neil Jacobs is truly a master of the acoustic 12-string guitar. With his own style of playing that the St Louis Riverfront Times describes as "mesmerizing" and the Austin Chronicle describes as "the rockin'est since early Leo Kottke", Neil covers a full spectrum of styles and dynamics, touching on music diverse and varied as Gypsy, World, Balkan Folk, Jazz, and Fingerstyle guitar. A self-taught musician, Neil draws inspiration from his world travels and experiences. His most recent focus includes the Gypsy music of Eastern Europe and the Balkans, which is showcased in his third CD "American Gypsy." For that CD, he draws from his first hand knowledge of Eastern European Gypsy, Balkan and World Folk music to create his riveting compositions. The "American Gypsy" CD was nominated "Album of the Year" in the 2001 "American Independent Music Awards".
In 2008 Neil released his most ambitious solo CD, "12-String Guitar", featuring exclusively true solo orchestral 12-string guitar, with many of his never before released concert classics such as "Ghostrider Medley", "Belfast", "Song for Huddy", and "Moscow Calling". "12-String Guitar" features a striking array of styles and compositions ranging from playful to pensive. In this, his sixth CD, Neil spans 30 years of composing and includes some his earliest pieces and childhood memories, as well as some of his favorite rousing concert favorites. All compositions are performed solo without the aid of overdubs, looping or special effects on five of Neil's favorite 12-string guitars.

Christian Scott is a two-time Edison Award winning and Grammy Award nominated trumpeter, composer, producer and music executive. Christian's Grammy nominated international recording debut, "Rewind" That was called "arguably the most remarkable premiere the genre has seen in the last decade" by Billboard Magazine, earning Christian two prominent features on their cover and inclusion in their list of "Ones to Watch in 2006." Since 2002 Scott has released seven critically acclaimed studio recordings and two live albums the most recent being the explorative album "Stretch Music". The album comes as an effort by Scott to 'stretch' jazz's rhythmic, melodic and harmonic conventions to encompass as many musical forms, languages and cultures as he can. It is an attempt to demonstrate that Jazz should not be a rigid definition of a genre rather a term that is used to describe a form of music. Scott states that because his work is inherently jazz does not mean that it is exclusively jazz. The album itself is a blend of a clear variety of styles and genres that goes together to create something as new as it is exciting. This brilliantly talented musician has ignored certain criticisms that were flung his way and instead has used them as a platform for innovation and he urges others to do the same.
Melbourne based future soul outfit, Hiatus Kaiyote, have already been nominated for a 2014 Grammy for 'Best R&B performance' with the track "Nakamara" from their first album, Tawk Tomahawk, received another nomination for the same award with the song "Breathing Underwater" from their new album just missing out on both occasions. Hiatus Kaiyote return after a period of two years with their intriguing new neo-soul album "Choose Your Weapon". The album brings together influences from many different genres including R&B, African funk and progressive rock into a jazz setting. It is unusual in that the mood of the album changes frequently, often surprising the listener with a change in rhythm. "Choose Your Weapon" is considered by the band to be a continuation of their first album with both ignoring the confines that categorising can have upon creativity. Therefore, both records have shed the restrictions that genre can have, allowing the group to create a remarkably refreshing album significantly moving the world of neo-soul forward into a new and exciting direction incorporating influences from countless different musical traditions and styles.
Charenee Wade earns the distinction of being the only musician to ever place twice in the Thelonious Monk International voice competition. She has the sassiness in her voice of Dee Dee Bridgewater or Sarah Vaughan. "Offering - The Music of Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson" is a revelation, really shedding a different light on the great and meaningful compositions of Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson that are as relevant today as they were at the time of their release. The incredible band that has been put together for this album form a powerful backdrop to Charenee's amazing voice. The album turns classics such as 'Home is Where the Hatred is' and 'Song of the Wind' into almost unrecognisable tunes owing their revolutionary new arrangements to Wade's outstanding skill as a composer and singer. Choosing to interpret this material was not an easy route, but in the true spirit of a jazz improviser, Charenee has absolutely made these songs her own.
"Sylva", a collaboration between Snarky Puppy and the Metropole Orkest, comes in the form of a cohesive orchestral suite rather than Snarky Puppy's usual collection of jazz numbers. Snarky Puppy are some of the most exciting musicians in the Jazz world and their almost 40 strong crew dubbed "The Fam" are well known around the world for their new and exciting fusion of different genres and styles into one performance that can only be Snarky Puppy. The Metropole Orkest is a multiple Grammy winning jazz and pop orchestra based in the Netherlands and is the largest and most influential ensemble of its kind in the world. This album uses the talents of the Orchestra to highlight Snarky Puppy's and innovative manner of creating music. "The Fam" have given themselves no time to rest and have since released two more album in early 2016 further emphasising the sheer energy and enthusiasm that the band possess. "Sylva" contains six movements, each inspired by different forests around the world that have left a deep impression on Snarky Puppy leader Michael League. "Sylva" entered the charts at number one on both Billboard's Jazz and Heatseekers Charts and won 'Best Contemporary Instrumental Album' at this year's Grammys. "Sylva" is an epic album that marvellously blends Metropole Orkest's phenomenal sound with the energy of Snarky Puppy's composition and is a credit to the talent that emanates from them both.
Maria Schneider's music has been hailed by critics as "evocative, majestic, magical, heart-stoppingly gorgeous, and beyond categorization." She and her orchestra became widely known in 1994 when they released their first recording, "Evanescence". Schneider began to develop her personal way of writing for what would become her 18-member collective, made up of many of the finest musicians in jazz today, tailoring her compositions to distinctly highlight the uniquely creative voices of the group. Schneider and her orchestra have a distinguished recording career with twelve Grammy nominations and five Grammy awards. Schneider and her orchestra were awarded two Grammys at the 2016 ceremony. The first, 'Best Arrangement, Instruments and Vocals', recognised the excellence of her collaboration with David Bowie on the track "Sue (Or in A season of Crime)" which appeared in a modified form on his acclaimed album 'Blackstar'. The second GRAMMY was given for 'Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album' acknowledging her brilliant work on "The Thompson Fields". The Thompson Fields was released in June 2015 and the pieces range from being descriptive of the open landscape of Maria's home in southwest Minnesota, to being inspired by the first time she heard a samba school rehearse in Rio.

Direct hydrogenation of carboxylic acids to corresponding aldehydes catalyzed by palladium complexes
K. Nagayama, I. Shimizu, A. Yamamoto
A variety of carboxylic acids can be directly hydrogenated into the corresponding aldehydes in high yields by using homogeneous catalysts such as [Pd(PPh3)4] or combination of Pd(OAc)2 with tertiary phosphines in the presence of an excess amount of 2,2-dimethylpropionic anhydride (pivalic anhydride). As a typical example, octanoic acid can be convened into octanal in 99% yield in 3 h at 80 °C under 3.0 MPa of H2 in acetone in the presence of pivalic anhydride and a catalyst system composed of Pd(OAc)2 + 5P(p-tol)3. Such hydrogenation is widely applicable to various aliphatic, aromatic, and heterocyclic carboxylic acids as well as to di- and tribasic carboxylic acids. The process allows the presence of other functional groups such as ketonic carbonyl, nitrile, and ester groups and even internal C=C bonds. Heterogeneous palladium catalyst such as palladium on carbon also showed some catalytic activities.

Check out the news that highlighted the day in the NBA, including the Milwaukee Bucks' Mike Budenholzer being named the COTY by his peers, Tyronn Lue and Monty Williams on the Lakers' radar and more.
Milwaukee Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer led his team to the best record in the entire NBA (60-22) and fully deserved the National Basketball Coaches Association's Coach of the Year Award.
.@Bucks Head Coach Mike Budenholzer has been named the 2019 recipient of the Michael H. Goldberg NBCA Coach of the Year Award.
The Los Angeles Lakers and Luke Walton parted ways this week. According to sources close to Adrian Wojnarowski, former Cleveland Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue and Philadelphia 76ers assistant coach Monty Williams are the main candidates to replace Walton.
Per league sources, the New Orleans Pelicans appointed David Griffin as the new executive VP of basketball operations. His main job will be to find a suitable trade for All-Star Anthony Davis, which would shape the future of the franchise in the years to come. Head coach Alvin Gentry is a favorite of the Pelicans' organization, and he is expected to return next season regardless of the front-office hiring.
The Los Angeles Clippers are facing the reigning champions Golden State Warriors in the opening round of the NBA Playoffs and they are the biggest underdogs in an NBA playoff series in the last 30 years.
According to online archive SportsOddsHistory.com, since 1988 only three teams have entered an NBA playoff series with odds greater than 50-1: the Milwaukee Bucks in 2001 (vs. the Miami Heat) and Miami Heat in 1992 (vs. the Chicago Bulls) were each 75-1, while the Memphis Grizzlies were 66-1 against the San Antonio Spurs in 2016.
The New York Knicks decided to send Patrick Ewing to represent the team at the NBA Draft Lottery 34 years after the center was selected with the No. 1 overall pick.

Elegy for a Snail by James Maxwell
"I can't see how anyone could find two hours to do that."
It was then that he knew the best of whatever it was had now ended. As he lay in the darkness, the lamp's muted outline resembled the long slender neck of a crane doubled over.
"No, I suppose not," she said.
It was as if everything in his head had begun shouting at once, starting as a dull murmur and growing louder and shriller until the hollows behind his eyes ached terribly. A quick cough from her, and he shifted his attention from the lamp to the window where he could hear the din of crickets chirping. He attempted to mimic this noise inside his head to drown out the other sounds.
At first he had scoffed at the notion of such a feat until he realized just how honest he was being in his disbelief. He would never allow himself to make time for putting on such a performance, just as he had never allowed himself to make time for so many other things–except one, but that was not worth thinking about. It made life seem unpleasant. He focused on the crickets.
He wished to scribble something down but wasn't sure what he would write once he reached his desk in the shadows at the far end of the room. A poem maybe, or an elegy for some deceased snail discovered limp as mashed up mush inside its own shell. He didn't know. But wasn't that the damned beauty of it, he thought. He turned from the window and arose.
"Nowhere," he said, and he lay back down next to her.
That would have to wait for now, he thought, just as the crickets must wait for nightfall to craft their sliding sounds.
"I think I'm going to go home."
"Walk me down?"
"I guess so."
The creaking of the bed from the shift of their bodies made him uncomfortable and he wondered if anyone downstairs had heard and if they had, what they'd imagined. No, they would be sleeping by this time. A rapid pop and the lock protruded into his palm from the bellybutton of the doorknob.
They said goodnight downstairs in the kitchen. They did not kiss. They embraced briefly, but it felt as if she had stumbled into his arms on accident and their bodies had collided with one another by chance, just as an unpleasant interruption pauses a conversation. She was gone, and as she left he heard, through the open door, the sound of crickets cricketing.
Now the door was closed and he was alone again. How long it would be this time, he did not know.
"Perhaps just one for a night's souvenir," he spoke aloud. But he knew he didn't much feel like it.
James Maxwell resides in Blauvelt, NY, of Rockland County but also lives at a daycare in Congers on the weekend (and he's well aware how strange that sounds). He makes a living as a special education teaching assistant. He earned his MA in English a few years back but only did it for the money and the women (because really, what else is the point?). James has been writing for a little over 10 years but has only recently started submitting his stories and poetry for publication.

CWS Pedicab Negotiations Continue
A group of citizen organizations, including ModeShift, Omaha Bikes, the Greater Omaha Young Professionals and North Downtown Omaha, have been working with the Omaha Police Department (OPD) to develop an alternative to OPD's proposed pedicab ban during the College World Series. The city council is scheduled to reconsider the proposed ordinance January 10.
On Thursday, December 29, representatives of the community met with OPD to discuss the issues raised by pedicab operators around the stadium and what could best be done to address those issues. The community representatives, were unanimous in their opposition to the proposed ordinance, stepped up with a plan to address the concerns of the police and institute a program for monitoring pedicab operators that put the responsibility for enforcement and regulation on the community, relieving the police and city of the burden and cost of implementing one more rule.
The community proposal included the following:
Community Certification of pedicab operators through Omaha Bikes. Certification would require operators to own a safe rig, receive safety information and show proof of insurance.
Use of pedicab stands for the pick-up and drop-off of passengers around the stadium. The pedicab stands would be staffed by volunteers. The stands, leased or permitted to Omaha Bikes who would reserve the right to bar pedicab operators who are not certified from using the stand — removing bad operators from the stadium area.
Suggested routes for operators to ensure passenger safety and traffic flow.
Public awareness campaign of online information and visible on-street signage to let passengers and operators know their rights and expectations around the CWS.
The police department representatives were receptive to the suggestions and wanted to continue the conversation after having internal discussions about the shape and effectiveness of allowing the community to self-police. Under the proposed self-regulation, the police would work with Omaha Bikes to educate and guide pedicab operators such that they do not impede traffic or cause dangerous situations for their passengers. Moving forward, the community asked OPD to put the ordinance in a file, withdrawing it from council consideration, and continue working with Omaha Bikes, et. al. to arrive at a mutually beneficial program of self-regulation.
The fact is, pedicabs are very safe (accidents and injuries are rare) and a system of self-regulation by the community is the best solution to the concerns held by the Omaha Police. Because only one of the roadways in the area of the proposed ban has a speed limit over 25 m.p.h., and all are multi-lane, properly-operated pedicabs are unlikely to block or slow traffic to any significant degree.
We, as part of the active transportation community, cannot accept a ban on a mode of active transportation. To do so would be to allow a dangerous precedent of favoring private motor vehicles to the exclusion of active modes of transportation.
As of today, OPD has declined the request to place the ordinance in a file, but has agreed to again hold-over the ordinance to continue the conversation. While this is not the ideal outcome for us, it still holds hope for a resolution that benefits everyone.
Our best outcome includes the police continuing the dialog with the community to arrive at a solution that does not exclude pedicabs from the stadium, and does not impose restrictions so onerous as to make the operation of pedicabs unsustainable. With this outcome, the police and community can work together to make the CWS the stand-out event of the year, and continue the tradition of exceeding our guests' expectations for fun and hospitality. From a community perspective, this is by far the preferred outcome. Cooperation between advocates and the police, with the blessing of the council, will create valuable bonds between law enforcement and the active transportation community. An accord on this issue could be the first in a series of cooperative efforts where the active transportation community can work with the police in managing traffic for major events and encouraging alternative forms of transportation to better alleviate strain on our roads.
We look to the coming council meeting with optimism, and look forward to the continued cooperation and dialog of the OPD on this important issue.

Purpose: To guarantee invariable skin markings in patients undergoing a course of external radiotherapy, especially using conformal techniques. Cutaneous markings with henna also increase patient comfort, because washing and showering are allowed. Methods and Materials: Henna, a completely natural product, is a skin colorant with a history of 5,000 years. It is applied to the skin in the form of a paste. While drying, henna stains the superficial skin layers for several weeks, and the marked area can be exposed to water arbitrarily. In case of fading of the stain before the end of radiotherapy, the marking procedure can be repeated. From November 1998 until March 2000, we performed skin markings with henna in 158 patients with different tumor sites. The majority of patients received conformal radiotherapy techniques. All patients have been evaluated concerning durability of the markings, the required number of marking procedures per treatment course, and possible related side effects. Results: The median durability of henna staining is 23 days (range 12–48 days). On average, two marking procedures (range 1–4) are necessary for a patient treated with curative intent. Although washing and showering are freely permitted, no adverse cutaneous side effects (e.g., erythema, allergic reactions) have been observed. Conclusions: Skin marking by temporary tattooing with henna increases the accuracy of external radiotherapy. It yields stable and invariable markings for the entire course of radiotherapy and also increases the comfort of patients. © 2001 Elsevier Science Inc.

as a tool to detect geographic inaccuracies is limited, for example the conformal technique of target splitting in lung cancer patients, where generally several small static fields and/or rotational treatment elements are used (6). In addition, skin markings by felt-tip pens contribute considerably to the discomfort of patients, because washing and showering are normally not permitted. An alternative to the current practice of skin marking could be permanent tattooing, which, however, has the disadvantage of possible infection and, above all, remains for the rest of the patient's life. Therefore, temporary stable skin markings are desirable, and henna (in Hindi mehndi) has this potential. Henna is applied to the skin in the form of a paste, and while drying, it stains the superficial layers of the skin. Henna markings are clear, topographically invariable, and have a red-brown color. They last for several weeks and can be exposed to water arbitrarily.

with henna. All patients have been evaluated concerning durability of the marks, the required number of marking procedures, and possible related side effects. The durability of the marks is defined as the time from the marking procedure to the end of therapy or to the time when the marks cease to be "clearly visible" by fading, and a repetition of the marking procedure has to be done. Clear and unmistakable visibility refers to the condition of the setup procedure at the treatment machine. Henna is the dried and powdered leaf of the dwarf shrub Lawsonia inermis, a member of the Loosestrife family, Lythraceae, which gains a height of about 2.5–3 m (7). It grows in hot climates and is supplied mainly from Arabia, Iran, Ceylon, India, Egypt, and Sudan.
The East has a long tradition of using henna as a skin colorant in the process of temporary tattooing. Its history goes back 5,000 years. It was used in ancient Egypt to color the nails and hair of mummies. In the twelfth century it was introduced in India, where it gained real cultural importance. It was mixed with aromatic oils and applied to the hands and feet to beautify them. Henna became essential for auspicious occasions, in particular for weddings. With the passing of centuries, henna gained significance in all cultures within the Middle East, Asia, and North Africa. More recently, henna has become popular in the West as a fashionable means of decorating the body and is also used by many artists. For generating temporary tattoos, henna powder is mixed with ingredients like lemon juice, tamarind paste, tea, and coffee to produce a moist paste. The paste can be prepared according to different recipes (7), but we prefer readymixed, commercially available products (e.g., Brite Instant Henna, manufactured by Parmanand & Co., Sojat City, India).
● On the simulator table, the skin areas to be marked are wiped with a dry cotton pad to gain a superficial peeling. All markings that have to be tattooed with henna are provisionally dotted with a small felt tip pen.
● If required, the patient is then transferred to another couch. For preparation of the definitive henna markings, initially a thin film of eucalyptus oil is applied (this increases the absorption of henna to gain a darker stain). Then henna paste is applied in a 2–3 mm thick layer (using the provided cone mounted to the tube). Thereafter, a mixture of two parts lemon juice and one part sugar is applied. (This keeps the henna paste moist, which also helps to darken the stain.) Then the markings are covered by strips of soft adhesive plaster (e.g., Mefix, Mo¨lnlyncke Clinical Products, Sweden) to protect them from blurring and to ensure an intense contact of the henna paste with the skin for 24 h. This marking procedure takes about 10 min. Afterwards the patient should not dress for about 15 min (the time of the first hardening of the paste). Then, the patient can leave the hospital.
● On the next day, the plaster strips are removed directly on the treatment table. The patient is thereafter allowed to wash and take a shower but should not rub the marked skin (with towels, etc.).
In Table 1 are listed the different anatomic sites to which skin markings with henna have been applied to 158 patients during the past 18 months. The median durability of clearly visible marks is 23 days (range 12–48 days) (Table 2). The durability of the marks according to the different sites is shown in Table 3. On average, two marking procedures (range 1–4) are necessary for a patient treated with curative intent (Table 2). Regarding side effects, henna has been used safely for more than 5,000 years. Because it is a completely natural product, allergic reactions are very rare (7). In our 158 patients, no skin allergies could be observed. Although washing and showering are freely permitted, no other adverse cutaneous side effects, in particular in regard to erythemas, could be observed.
ings drawn with felt-tip pens is the use of cutaneous markings by temporary tattooing with henna. Because the skin (upper layers) is stained with this method, the potential problem of shifting during the course of external radiotherapy can be excluded. In addition, there is more patient comfort with henna, because gentle washing can be allowed. The durability of henna markings is about three weeks, and two marking procedures are usually necessary for a patient treated with curative intent. We theorize that excessive sweating predisposes a patient to short durability in henna staining. Although washing and showering are freely permitted to the patients, adverse cutaneous side effects are encountered extremely seldom; regular radiation-induced erythemas as expected in certain anatomic sites are not aggravated. Regarding the improvement of patient comfort, patients often express contentment and gratitude to be allowed to wash and shower freely, sometimes having heard from previously treated patients that exposure of the marked skin areas to water is not permitted. The time required for the skin marking procedure with henna is on average two 10-min sessions per patient treated with curative intent. This is much shorter than the time necessary for a control and for the remarking on the simulator every two weeks, which was required for all of our patients treated with the technique of target splitting before using the method of cutaneous marking with henna. In conclusion, the application of skin markings by temporary tattooing with henna is a safe procedure and has been routinely used by us for 18 months. It contributes considerably to the accuracy of therapy and comfort of patients, and it also saves time in the quality assurance process. Use of henna skin markings became indispensable for all of our patients treated with conformal radiation therapy, but they are also useful for patients irradiated with conventional techniques.

Robert De Niro Doesn't 'Give a F*ck' Who Any of Us Are, But Especially Not the Founder of Slack
Well, fuck. Photo: Corbis
When you're Robert De Niro, it's hard to find many fucks to give. But on Wednesday night, he did give enough of a fuck to present Angelina Jolie with an award at The Wall Street Journal's 2015 Innovator Awards. It was a swanky event, held at the MoMA, something Stewart Butterfield, co-founder of the chat app Slack, pointed out in his acceptance speech: "We are a long way from San Francisco," he said, scanning the room full of "supermodels and movie stars" and De Niro. "I watched Godfather II on the plane … when you killed Don Fanucci, I liked that," Butterfield badly joked. The WSJ also did not give much of a fuck, having De Niro take the stage after Butterfield's "nerd award." De Niro eventually got around to singing Jolie's praises, but as "Page Six" reports, he first gave enough of a fuck to tell Butterfield he didn't give a fuck: "Whoever the last speaker was … I thought you were a bit condescending to us actors … celebrities. I'm gonna go on record with you just to say that. And I don't give a fuck who you are." But you know who also has not a fuck to give about De Niro's lack of fucks given? Stewart Butterfield:
I just literally got trash-talked by Robert De Niro. "I don't know who the FUCK you are." #lifegoals pic.twitter.com/j9yT5ZiU4A

A straightforward and excellent description. Thank you.
I have a similar configuration to implement but your details underscore what I have suspected for some time; the bridging functions of dd-wrt are (inappropriately) tied to layer 3.
No ebtables in dd-wrt makes this needlessly complex.
I am curious about the use of VLANs to sort out an issue that I have. I have the E2000 Linksys/Cisco router. On my network, besides my wireless clients, I have wired in, a Netgear ReadyNAS nv+. I notice that when I am downloading NZB files, it brings all of the rest of the network to a crawl.
Would implementing a VLANs reduce the problems that I am having. For instance, if I am looking at a movie under XBMC with the shares located on the ReadyNAS nv+, and movie files start downloading (again on the ReadyNAS), would a VLAN allow for no need for buffering while the NZB files are coming down?
Great description. Just bought DD-WRT router and will definitely try this.
Informative article. A virtual private network, or just VPN, helps encrypt and secure your router against data theft, misuse and only fraud. A single DDWRT router VPN can protect internet traffic for all of the networked computers, thus saving you an enormous cost for internet security and privacy. Furthermore, Purevpn will also redress individual IPs of each computer or device on the network, therefore helping you secure identities of computer on the World Wide Web.
VLANs packet loss while using many vpn. Don`t put up all your money on crap apps. Check this ultimate guide for better options.

Outsourcing your editing isn't just for the big time photographers. By having the right workflows in place, any photographer can add an editor to their team.
Jennifer Kaiser is a private editor who is sharing her tips for getting ready to outsource regardless of how many weddings you shoot. There's a good bit of work to do on the front end, but once you start outsourcing, you won't likely go back!
Jennifer grew up in rural Ohio and didn't dream of becoming a photographer. In fact, her love was music! As a nurse on night shift, Jennifer met her husband and they eventually moved to another part of Ohio to raise their daughter and live on their own land. She picked up a camera to take pictures of her sweet baby and the dogs her husband was training for competitions. Jennifer began second shooting, and even did some of her own, and realized she loved being in the wedding industry but maybe not as a lead photographer.
In December of 2016, Jennifer edited her first wedding for another photographer. Around this same time she moved to day shift and was able to pursue photography and editing a little more. By May 2017, Jennifer had reduced her hours at the hospital even more and has been editing ever since.
When it comes to outsourcing, Jennifer has three key areas for photographers to work through before you hire your first editor.
You need to have your consistency down when it comes to shooting. Jennifer doesn't think you have to be perfect when it comes to shooting, but you need to understand lighting and lenses. Getting to the point where you aren't constantly switching lenses or settings is a great place to be before you hand off your images. When your shooting is consistent, your editing will become easier for you and for your editor.
Before Jennifer begins to work with a photographer, she has them work through the why behind their overwhelmed feelings. Is it because they are taking on all the clients because they need the money or is because there are too many steps and tasks that aren't streamlined in their business?
Speaking of your workflow and workload, we know it is so easy to rack up the presets you purchase, but in the end this isn't doing you many favors. Jennifer recommends picking one or two that you love (one for indoor and one for outdoor), and tweaking them to your liking before sending them to the editor. This goes back to her point about knowing your shooting style and learning to take photos in camera that don't need much editing after.
Set expectations and provide education to the editor. Jennifer starts her consults with a video chat and then has the photographer do a screen-share to go over how they edit. If you can't describe your workflow and style, it will be harder for your editor to deliver what you want. Once you get those first few weddings back, provide clear feedback to your editor on what you like and don't like for those albums. Again, it takes time on the front end to set those expectations and communications, but the more you do, the better it will get. Also, be aware of the time of year you are starting this process. In the middle of busy season, it might take longer to get the groove going. You may want to consider sending smaller galleries during the off-season in order to make the next busy season to be a breeze.
Giving feedback to your editor is huge to getting results you want. This has to start from the beginning in order to build that long term relationship.
Be mindful of the editor's schedule when waiting on your galleries. This should be discussed during the on-boarding process (when you need to drop the photos, when you can expect them to be returned). Your editor may be working with several photographers, so any delay may impact their schedule as well. Another thing to remember is that editors are still human. On occasion, they may have an off session, but remember they want your business to be successful and they will work hard to make sure editing goes well.
Jennifer Kaiser is a private photo editor for professional wedding photographers. She helps creative women get back to the life they life by outsourcing their editing and managing their day-to-day systems in business and life. Based in Ohio, Jennifer is a registered nurse turned entrepreneur who pivoted her business from photography to editing and her mindset from hustle to health. She believes life is best lived offline.

Top of the Poppers Sing & Play Simon & Garfunkel's Greatest Hits (SHM 783) - 1972
The 59th St Bridge Song (Feelin Groovy)
I Am A Rock
Mrs Robinson
Bridge Over Troubled Water
El Condor Pasa
Following the outstanding success of our Hallmark L.P., "The Top of the Poppers present the Beatles' Golden Hits," our brilliant London-Based group of session musicians and singers, "The Top of the Poppers" present another selection of all-time hits made famous by, perhaps, the greatest duo in Pop music to-day, Simon & Garfunkel.
Their "Bridge over Troubled Water" will remain a classic of its kind for ever; for in this soulful, plaintive, haunting melody is the distilled essence of Man's tribulations.
Great composers automatically attract attention wherever and whenever their music is performed and in the case of Simon and Garfunkel there can scarcely be a territory in the world that hasn't heard one at least of their classics. And classics they are, rightfully taking their place in the musical library of the day as songs that are a reflection of our times and the creation of two finely-tuned musical minds.
Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel don't write or appear together very much these days; like many teams they've separated in order to pursue other activities in show business. But their partnership, particularly during the late 1960's gave us some superb songs and you'll find most of them on this album.
"The Sound Of Silence", "Bridge Over Troubled Water", "The Boxer", "Cecilia" are songs that future generations of entertainers will sing with the same delight that the Top of the Poppers give them. They'll sing them and enjoy singing them simply because they contain just about every ingredient needed for a performer to feel confident; the lyrics make sense and have a feel that is lasting and the melody has real strength.
If that's what success in popular music is all about then Simon and Garfunkel capture it – and capture it truly. All that's needed is an appreciative audience and you alone can provide that.
Comments: For Sing and Play Simon & Garfunkel's Greatest Hits, the coffers were almost empty with only "Mrs Robinson" (Volume 2) and "The Boxer" (Volume 5) ready to supplement "Bridge Over Troubled Water" (Volume 10). These three early numbers pre-dated Tony Rivers' involvement with the series, but he was now to hand to vocalise alongside John Perry on nine new recordings which they did live with the backing group. The track listing almost exactly duplicates the duo's official greatest hits collection on CBS, released around the same time and set to become one of the best-selling albums of all time.

As of today (6th April 2018) the new tax year has arrived. With this bringing changes for millions of people, it's important to understand how this will affect you.
Changes to tax free income, pension limits and death duty are just a few that will come into place today. Most UK residents will also see a difference in council tax, mortgage relief payments and dividend allowance.
The pension limit will increase from £1 million to £1.03 million – this is a £30,000 increase which is the first rise in seven years. Since 2010, the overall amount you can save has been declining so this will be a welcomed change for pensioners.
Due to the increasing cost of living, the state pension will most likely rise. Under the triple lock rule, it is stated that pensions are required to increase by the highest level between inflation, a minimum of 2.5 percent or average earnings.
Payments are due to increase by 3 percent as inflation is above both 2.5 percent and earnings. Pensioners will see an extra £4.78 increase a week due to this.
Inheritance tax allowance sees a increase of £125,000 per person – this is great news as families will be able to leave more for their grandchildren and children tax free. As of last April, the "residence nil-rate band" was introduced. This gave individuals an extra £100,000 free from death duties where a family home has been inherited.
If you combine the new rate of £125,000 and the existing nil-rate band, you can now pass on £450,000 without paying any inheritance tax.
It is worth noting that home allowance is only relevant if the property is passed onto "direct descendants".
You can now earn up to £11,850 before you are required to pay tax, this is an increase of £350 a year. It might seem a small amount but will save most people £70 a year.
For the 2018-19 tax year, dividend allowance will decrease from £5,000 to £2,000. Philip Hammond has made it clear he wants to crackdown on how business owners pay themselves.
Not only will this affect bosses who pay themselves through dividends but also ordinary investors. This will have no effect on investments which are held in ISA's or pensions, but high-yielding stocks will be under threat.
For those who are a higher rate taxpayer and have purchased a rental property with a mortgage, you will now be paying more tax as the next stage of cutting tax relief comes into place.
Landlords will only be able to claim higher-rate relief on half on their costs. The other half would then be at the basic rate. By 2020, mortgage relief will be replaced with a 20 percent tax credit.
For most people this will have a huge impact as this is the largest rise on council tax we have seen in 14 years. Last year saw a new rule being implemented allowing councils to raise their tax without having to call for a local vote. This now means councils can raise their bills up to 6 percent.
Here at Stonehouse Accountants we are here to help you get through the new tax year. If you would like some advice or help with this task please, give us a call on 01733 265888.


It's been a busy year for online gambling in the US, and the holidays have us in a reflective mood. What follows is a list of the most memorable stories from 2017 presented in the era's trendy, award-based format.
Apologies in advance to the winners; we don't have the budget for any actual trophies.
The 2017 race to the top of the online gambling mountain was a runaway from the start.
In 2016, the five New Jersey licensees competed more or less evenly in the marketplace. At one point, they were each generating between $2.3 million and $3.3 million in monthly revenue.
Golden Nugget left the others far behind in 2017, however. It has earned $5 million in every month since February, including three months over the $6 million mark. In October, it accounted for 33 percent of NJ's online casino revenue. Only one other operator (Tropicana) posted a single month with more than $4 million in online casino revenue.
The Golden Nugget brand is composed of three online casinos: Golden Nugget itself, plus Betfair and SugarHouse. The latter is an out-of-state addition to the family and at least part of the reason for the runaway lead.
In 2017, Golden Nugget became the first online casino with 400 games in its library. Others quickly followed suit there, but they haven't done so in other areas. Along with Betfair, Golden Nugget was also the first to offer live-dealer games, and it's still the only one doing so in the NJ online casinos marketplace. The unexpected popularity of those games may be another factor in the revenue gains.
While NJ online casinos are growing in a pretty linear fashion across the board, nobody is doing it like Golden Nugget. It has built itself a substantial lead despite the fact that it is a casino-only product, and no poker.
To be frank, 2017 wasn't a great year for online poker series in regulated US markets.
All three of New Jersey's established networks hosted at least one online festival, and each of them posted middling numbers. At least the events ran without interruption this time around.
By its size alone, PokerStars' New Jersey Championship of Online Poker (NJCOOP) takes the crown for online series of the year. Its 2017 schedule featured $1.2 million in guarantees across 46 events.
For comparison, the Garden State Super Series (GSSS) from PartyPoker NJ had 14 events with a total of $375,000 guaranteed.
The WSOP NJ offering, the New Jersey Poker Classic (NJPC), ran with 38 events and $500,000 in guarantees. It was an ambitious effort from the market's third-place competitor — by far its largest series to date and cause for consideration in this topic.
The PokerStars series was the biggest of the bunch, though, and the majority of NJCOOP events met their targets. There were a few notable exceptions in the bigger buy-ins, but the numbers were strong in sum. More than 8,500 total entries ended up generating close to $1.5 million in prize money. The $500 Main Event was responsible for $200,000 of that, posting a slight overlay.
Although online poker revenue is floundering a bit in New Jersey, PokerStars continues to be the leader of the pack. It's held the yellow jersey in the revenue race every month since April 2016, and it's now hosted both of the state's largest tournament series.
The Borgata network is closing the gap, but its GSSS still has a way to go to challenge NJCOOP for superiority.
Barring something truly remarkable in the last two weeks of the year, the biggest surprise of 2017 had to be the passing of online gambling legislation in Pennsylvania. Those who know Pennsylvania understand the perilous paths of its legislature. And those in the industry realize that it is a — ahem — keystone state in the future of legalized iGaming.
Relevant bills have been on the table for five years, and there has been plenty of progress before. For two years running, though, that progress had been torpedoed during the state's bumbling budget discussions. The bargaining room is a minefield that iGaming legislation had twice been unable to escape.
It looked like 2017 was going to be more of the same old story. As before, online gambling drifted in and out of the budget package as the year ticked away. There was a standalone piece of legislation on the table, though, and it somehow made it to the finish line.
Lawmakers finally passed a comprehensive gaming bill with iGaming at its core. It includes provisions for the regulation of daily fantasy sports and sports betting, too, should the latter become federally legal. It's not a perfect package by any means, but it's a huge step forward for iGaming.
With Gov. Tom Wolfe's signature, Pennsylvania became the fourth state to legalize internet gambling, joining Nevada, New Jersey and Delaware.
By this time next year, people should be playing online poker in PA.
Entering 2017, New York looked like an odds-on favorite to legalize online poker.
As was the case in Pennsylvania, legalization stood a chance on two fronts, both as a part of the budget and as a standalone law. The budgetary path became untenable, but that didn't seem to be much of a concern.
Sen. John Bonacic reintroduced his standalone online poker bill that had passed the Senate with ease in 2016.
The hangup had been in the lower chamber, where Assemblyman Gary Pretlow had expressed concerns about the bill's potential to win approval. But Pretlow offered an optimistic outlook that support existed to get the bill through the Assembly.
Things went awry in the last legislative session, though, as tends to happen in New York. Although they have a six-month window in which to consider bills, lawmakers don't get much done in the first five. So they were left cramming during the final hours like bad students.
Despite clearing the Assembly Racing, Wagering and Gaming committee (of which Pretlow is the chairman), the online poker bill never made it onto the floor. There were still two committees to get through by the time the clock ran out on the 2017 legislative session.
Pretlow and Bonacic will try again in 2018, and they're optimistic about their chances. They were optimistic in 2017, though, too. The good news is that the process doesn't start over, and Pretlow's bill will begin the year where it left off.
Maybe, just maybe, there'll be some movement before June this time around.
More than a decade after the passage of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, the regulated online poker industry is still emerging from the ashes. It's a long process with a lot of hurdles in place, and the first legal sites are still settling into their new homes.
By the end of 2017, four states had legalized online poker: Nevada, New Jersey, Delaware, and new entry Pennsylvania. Growth has been sluggish to say the least, with players largely restricted to the games and players in their own states. While Nevada and Delaware agreed to share poker players, it hadn't moved the needle much.
The industry's future took a big step forward in 2017, though, with NJ joining the interstate agreement.
The deal allows players in the three states to play against each other, rather than in their own segregated player pools. The result should be a significant uptick in cash game liquidity and tournament prize pools. That, in turn, creates a more enticing product for players.
WSOP / 888 Poker stands to be the most immediate beneficiary, as its network is already licensed in all three states. Other operators will need to jump through a couple extra hoops, while PokerStars is limited to New Jersey. The timeline for the interstate launch is still to be determined.
While player pooling across three states is already a big achievement, there may be more to come in 2018.
Pennsylvania should be rolling out its first games sometime in 2018, and it's a likely candidate to join the pool. The addition of the country's sixth most-populous state would make the potential pool that much larger. Several other states, including New York and Illinois, will at least consider legalization in the new year, too.
If New York, in particular, can manage to get aboard the interstate poker train, it would mean a significant uptick for US online poker.

Shin, Sarah J. Developing in Two Languages: Korean Children in America. Clevedon-Buffalo-Toronto: Multilingual Matters LTD, 2005. Pp. viii + 194.
In Developing in Two Languages: Korean Children in America, Sarah J. Shin illuminates the power and identity struggles of minority language speakers in the U.S., with examples of Korean American children's language development, exposing a facet of the American society's broad discrimination on language. Shin is a 1.5 generation immigrant from South Korea, who acquired English as a second language, and who later became a linguist. She is currently teaching at the University of Maryland as an Associate Professor of Education. Among her research interests are multilingual policy, ethnic and racial identity, and transnationalism.
Shin challenges the American society by describing the lives of Korean children in this country. She remembers that her first day of school in the U.S. was "absolutely miserable" because she was considered to be "stupid" due to her poor English, and Shin realized that any knowledge learned in Korean did not have any value in the U.S. Shin points out that the proficiency in Korean (or minority languages in general) is only a mark of "immigrant – poor, unsophisticated and marginal." Though the bilingualism of English speakers is generally appreciated, that of minority language children is not fairly prized because of their relatively slow development in English, no matter how fluent they are in their first language. Under such environment, minority language children feel that it is shameful that they cannot speak English despite their proficiency in their first language, and it motivates them to learn English as rapidly as possible at the expense of their first language. At one point, Shin even pretended that she was not from Korea, and she did not speak Korean at all. Shin's experience reflects "the asymmetrical power relations between the societal and home languages and also between speakers of those languages," and it enlightens the intensity of the pressure imposed on minority children in the U.S. classrooms.
The language shift has some serious consequences, for example, broken family relationships. Minority children's loss of their first languages brings "major communication problems due to a lack of a common language" in a household. Shin argues that once the language shift occurs, "having heart-to-heart talks with their mostly English speaking children" is impossible for the parents and vice versa. The communication problems sometimes lead to the children discriminating against their own parents. This is detrimental to families since some parents rely on their young children to survive the English speaking society. Shin notes that such reversed roles in a household "sometimes results in children taking on authority and losing respect for their parents." Some Korean children violently reject speaking Korean at home, and parents are unable to persuade them to speak Korean because Korean has no value else where. The communication problems, violent rejection of parents' advice, and losing respect for the parents are not simple juvenile problems but bitter fruits of U.S. education that does not respect or value minority languages and heritages. Losing heritage languages means losing the value of the languages. Suitably, they do not find value with their parents who primarily speak what they consider value-less languages. Broken family relationships happen elsewhere for many reasons. But, in this case, the seriousness of the problem rests with the uninformed education system.

"Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" had the major challenge of following "Black Panther," one of the biggest blockbusters ever, and had to do so without star Chadwick Boseman, who passed away in 2020.
Despite all of the challenges, "Wakanda Forever" notched a sizable box office opening this weekend. The Marvel movie opened to an estimated $180 million in North America, according to the film's studio, Disney.
The opening represents one of the best premieres of the year and makes the superhero film the highest-grossing debut ever for the month of November. The original record belonged to "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," which made $158 million in November 2013. The box office haul comes in around where most in Hollywood were predicting.
The film has made $330 million globally so far.

'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' pulls off a difficult dive after Chadwick Boseman's death
It's no surprise why "Wakanda Forever" did so well this weekend.
The film, which stars Letitia Wright and Angela Bassett as the princess and queen of the African country of Wakanda, comes from Marvel Studios — the most lucrative brand in all of Hollywood — and is the sequel to one of the most popular films of all time.
When "Black Panther" hit theaters in February 2018, it opened to a stellar $202 million weekend. It then went on to make $1.3 billion worldwide and garnered multiple Oscar nominations, including Best Picture. The film is considered to be one of the best from the comic book genre and one of the best from Marvel.
Audiences also likely bought a ticket to "Wakanda Forever" to see how the film and director Ryan Coogler would handle the passing of Boseman. In an interview with Empire magazine in September, Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige said "It just felt like it was much too soon" to recast the late actor. Boseman died at age 43 from colon cancer.
As for its critical reception, "Wakanda Forever" notched an 84% score on review site Rotten Tomatoes. Audiences also gave the film an "A" on CinemaScore.
"'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' faced an inordinate degree of difficulty, addressing the tragic death of Chadwick Boseman," Brian Lowry, CNN's media critic, wrote in his review. "That the movie manages to strike that somber chord and still deliver as Marvel-style entertainment represents a major accomplishment."

Disney+ beats subscriber expectations but that growth came at a cost
The film's solid opening comes at the good time for theaters and Disney.
For theaters, the industry needed a blockbuster to help boost numbers since new, notable films have been hard to find in recent months.
As for Disney, the media giant's shares sank 13% Wednesday after the company reported its streaming business lost $1.4 billion last quarter, despite growing its subscriber base.
The debut of "Wakanda Forever" will unlikely impact Disney's stock since investors remain heavily focused on the company's streaming endeavors. But the strong box office performance helps Disney end a bad week on a high note.
It could also help build momentum for theaters with another potential Disney blockbuster on the horizon next month: "Avatar: The Way of Water."

My name is Nazir Khan. I am working for the UN as an international civil servant and am currently based in Harare, Zimbabwe.
In August 2017, I began to experience gradual onset bilateral symmetrical discomfort of my feet, which could be described as a heavy feeling. Gradually this progressed to a burning sensation along with numbness and pins and needles. My feet are very sensitive to touch. Since then the symptoms have been constant, and they have affected my ability to mobilize freely. I am no longer able to exercise. It is now 18 months later and my symptoms have not resolved. The symptoms of burning/tingling pain and altered sensation are rapidly progressing.
Since the onset of my symptoms, I have seen a large number of doctors in countries all over the world and have had a very large number of tests performed. My most recent assessment was done by Mayo Clinic Rochester.
There has been some conflict in opinion. I was initially told that my symptoms were possibly the result of spinal stenosis caused by degenerative disc disease. To fix the problem, I initially considered stem cell treatment, but ultimately a decision was made to undergo a course of two rounds of spinal platelet lysate injections in a clinic in Colorado.
However, according to the aforementioned more recent assessment in Mayo Clinic, my diagnosis appears to be a small fibre neuropathy.
I have not tried any medication yet but my symptoms are deteriorating rapidly. I am finding it increasingly difficult to walk because of the constant burning sensation, severe numbness and pain.
I am wondering whether my condition can benefit from the pain cream you mentioned in your post on Mayo Clinic Connect and if so how can I get it in Zimbabwe.
