As the digital world assumes an ever-increasing role in the daily life of the public, opportunities to engage in crimes increase as well. The consequences of cyber aggression can range from emotional and psychological distress to death by suicide or homicide.
Cyber Harassment and Policy Reform in the Digital Age: Emerging Research and Opportunities is a critical scholarly resource that examines cyber aggression and bullying and policy changes to combat this new form of crime. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as anti-bullying programs, cyberstalking, and social exclusion, this book is geared towards academicians, researchers, policy makers, and students seeking current research on cyberstalking, harassment, and bullying.

It was a great year to hold bitcoin, but a bad time to have been invested in the Uzbek soum.
As 2017 winds to a close, a look at the winners and losers around the globe shows that, broadly speaking, the riskiest assets performed well, with bullish sentiment on display in stocks, emerging-market sovereigns and corporate debt. Securities generally seen as the safest and least volatile bets — think Japanese government bonds — trailed behind.
There was perhaps no investing idea that attracted more attention in 2017 than cryptocurrencies, from Jamie Dimon's dismissal to Katy Perry quizzing Warren Buffett about the subject. Bitcoin soared almost 1,500 percent while smaller counterparts such as ethereum and litecoin gained at least 6,000 percent. Of course, the surges were accompanied by no shortage of pessimists calling a bubble.
Bulls in Ukraine had a good year after the International Monetary Fund said in May that it sees "welcome signs of recovery" for the economy and "a promising basis for further growth." It was part of a broader rally in emerging markets as investors flocked to developing nations in hopes of higher returns.
The three-decade bull run for fixed income rolled on in 2017, defying yet again predictions that faster inflation and tighter monetary policy would bring it to an end. The bond world's best performers were yesteryear's losers, with Greece and Argentina among the standouts.
It took effort to lose money on bonds this year — the Japanese central bank's stitch-up of its government-debt market, and Venezuela's economic collapse made those two the worst performers in the developed and emerging categories, respectively.
Tiny Belize earned top marks in the emerging government-debt category after an upgrade from Moody's Investors Service in April.
Turning to the corporate-debt world, U.S. high-yield securities saw a wide dispersion of results, from high-flying food-and-beverage, retail and transport companies to trauma for holders of bonds sold by commercial printer Cenveo Corp.
In the emerging-market corporate debt category, an Indonesian energy company topped the list, while securities tied to Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht SA — which is embroiled in a corruption scandal that stretches across South America — proved to be ones to avoid.
Palladium, which is typically used in pollution-control devices for gasoline vehicles, led gains in precious metals this year by climbing more than 50 percent as investors bet on increased usage in vehicles. Copper and aluminum bulls also had a great year. Those gains were largely tied to better economic prospects across the globe, which would mean higher usage of industrial metals.
On the down side, sugar and natural gas had a bad year. The sweetener has been falling on concerns of a global surplus, while natural gas recently hit a 10-month low following two warm winters that left stockpiles at high levels.
The biggest gainer in the currency space is a bit on the obscure side: the Mozambique new metical. The East African country has struggled to control inflation following a debt crisis, but the central bank has said it wants to achieve a lower and more stable rate.
On the down side, the Uzbek soum tumbled after the gold-rich republic removed the currency's peg to the dollar.

Cinema Art from Lawrence, Kansas? Industrial filmmaker Herk Harvey comes through with a classic horror gem for the ages. A haunted church organist begins to suspect that her hallucinations are more than just nerves. And who is that ghoulish man who keeps appearing in reflections, or popping up out of nowhere?

Written by John Clifford
Produced and Directed by Herk Harvey
Herk Harvey's marvelous Carnival of Souls is an anomaly in screen horror, a regional effort that transcends its production limitations to deliver a tingling encounter with the uncanny. Harvey was a prolific producer of industrial films, which by the 1950s had established their own strange sub-Hollywood grammar. As demonstrated in Criterion's ample extras, Harvey's Lawrence, Kansas outfit Centron ground out instructional pictures starring non-actors. When Harvey and his writing partner John Clifford took time out to make a feature film, they were consciously imitating their fellow industrial filmmaker Robert Altman, who several years earlier had filmed The Delinquents over in Kansas City. They even hired Altman's assistant director Reza Badiyi, who would himself have a long Hollywood career.
John Clifford's story is a spooky variation on the mind-warping concept of Ambrose Bierce's vintage short story An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge. A 1962 film version by Frenchman Robert Enrico (The Old Gun) would be enlisted to become an episode of the TV show The Twilight Zone. Souls unstuck in time and place were a fixture on Rod Serling's show. Replace Serling's liberal sermonizing with a weird independent art-film vibe, and Carnival is like an extended version of a TZ episode.
Young Mary Henry (Candace Hilligoss) inexplicably survives a drag race accident that sees all of her friends plunge to their deaths in the river. Seeking a fresh start, Mary quits her job as an organist and drives to another state to work for another church. On the way she is haunted by a mysterious Man (Herk Harvey) that she sees reflected in her car window. She also feels drawn to an enormous deserted ballroom pavilion she sees on a muddy flat adjacent to the Great Salt Lake. Mary begins the new job but more hallucinations follow, the most disturbing being a sensation that she's invisible, that people can't see or hear her. She has difficulty relating to her landlady, her new employer, and must endure the lecherous advances of a fellow boarding house resident, John Linden (Sidney Berger). Does the secret have something to do with that ruined ballroom on the lake?
Carnival of Souls taps into a vein of horror that was never in vogue, and yet has yielded some really great pictures. This line of fright movies substitutes creepy visions for violence, and imitates the weird sensation of a bad dream. The classics know the mood well: The Cabinet of Caligari, Nosferatu, Vampyr. Karl Freund's The Mummy also relies on scenes that evoke a timeless death state marked by silence and stasis. Mary Henry walks as if in a dream limbo, followed by a baleful ghost.
Harvey and Clifford were surely trying to capture and sustain the weird 'twist effect' then popular in the TV shows The Twilight Zone, Thriller and One Step Beyond: a last-minute revelation overturns a basic narrative assumption. There's also the impressively eerie, low budget classic Dementia, which centers on another haunted woman, and plays like an expressionist silent movie nightmare.
Horror fans are more than aware of the way ultra-low budget films sometimes seem like dreams. Seen late at night, old Monogram and PRC pictures take on an unreal quality, with actors that behave like zombies and line deliveries that blur into a monotone. Its as if the film were beamed in from another dimension. That quality certainly applies to the acting in the instructional films Harvey directed at Centron. As noted by more than one contributor to Criterion's disc presentation, Carnival of Souls makes a virtue out of those limitations. Candace Hilligoss contributes a fine central performance but most of the characters around her are selfconscious amateurs barely pretending to act. Theater student Sidney Berger overacts, but in such a way that his character's boorish behavior seems an extension of Mary Henry's mental confusion.
A a visual experience Carnival of Souls works even better now than it did in 1962. The streets of Lawrence Kansas seem to come from a place in the distant past, a if out of a time machine. The evocative road-trip scenes capture the feeling of being 'in transit' on a blank landscape, a limbo. Mary Henry's journey has parallel's with Marion Crane's highway flight in Psycho. Both women are alone in a vaguely threatening desert, and both are molested by strange young men that spy upon them as they undress.
Harvey and his cameraman nail various spooky scenes. The 'out of nowhere' appearances of The Man can really make a viewer jump. But some of the best things in the film seem to be the result of luck. Writer Clifford didn't make Mary a church organist to advance a statement about spirituality. Her profession was instead chosen because Clifford knew of a pipe organ factory that could serve as an evocative location. That choice cues both Mary's detachment — despite her job, she's not religious — and the film's soundtrack music. The organ score by Gene Moore slips between hymns, silent movie melodramatics and spacey mood effects. Church organ music is meant to evoke an ethereal mood. A sophisticated Hollywood score might be too much for the plainspoken Middle American setting.
The more we accept the stiff acting and rough audio dubbing, the more we're drawn to Candace Hilligoss, a promising actress who studied in New York. An acting school connection with Roy Scheider may have landed her a second role, a small part in the New York regional production The Curse of the Living Corpse. But Candace's agent reportedly dropped her after he saw Carnival of Souls.
Hilligoss gives one of the best 'haunted' performances ever. She has the poise of Tippi Hedren without the frigidity. Her Mary Henry isn't as sensual as Carroll Baker in Jack Garfein's Something Wild, another movie about a disturbed woman slipping off the rails of sanity. Unlike those women, Mary's in a genuine supernatural bind: her soul has become unstuck in time.
We're a little unstuck as well, due to the film's fragmented time structure. Mary doesn't strike us a a wild young woman during the drag race scene; that woman doesn't connect with the calm Mary playing the organ just one scene later. The disconnect between what looks like a fatal accident, and Mary's appearance minutes later on a muddy sandbar, is also very strange. But we accept that anomaly as part of the low-budget filmmaking 'reality', just as we accept the unconvincing car crash stunt. We move on, vaguely aware that the filmmaker is laying a narrative trap for us.
The film's dialogue is loaded with portentious hints about souls and final destinations, but the actors' little theater, amateur vibe only adds to the enjoyable 'unreal' quality. Mary Henry is suspended partway between this world and some other, a predicament that Harvey and Clifford sketch with minimal resources. Herk Harvey was initially inspired by the sight of the abandoned Saltair Pavilion out on the Utah mud flats; on a lonely night it surely looked like a waiting room for the hereafter. The film concludes in a spooky tour de force out on the enormous dance floor, with zombie dance couples emerging from the lake. They eventually advance on Mary, welcoming her to their ghoulish society just as did the laughing dream phantoms in both Dementia and the the earlier classic Dead of Night.
Almost nobody saw Carnival of Souls theatrically. Its original distributor Herts-Lion went out of business under suspicious circumstances, leaving the filmmakers high and dry. But the film soon became a legend on late night television, where its strange story structure and odd tone only added to the sense of dislocation and mystery. It's a core late-night gem: one might tune in to the middle of the show at 1:30 a.m. and be mesmerized. Filmmakers outside of Hollywood have often taken up horror to break through the commercial film barrier; Herk Harvey's is one of the few recognized as a genuine masterpiece.
The Criterion Collection's Blu-ray of Carnival of Souls is a much-improved follow-up on their 2000 two-disc special edition. The spine number is an ultra-low 63. The old DVD had both the film's original release cut and the longer extended edition. Because the extended scenes only exist on lower-resolution video, this Blu-ray presents only the original release cut. The extended scenes appear as an extra only.
After looking at the missing scenes, I'm not bothered by their absence — none of them are essential, and a scene in a psychiatrist's office contains Miss Hilligoss' only patch of sub-par acting. The gain is in the look of the picture — the 4K transfer and digital cleanup give Harvey's film a stunning appearance. I had no idea that the original cinematography was this good. The digital workover helps as well: no more jumps at splices. The film is presented in its proper 1:37 aspect ratio, necessitated by the framing of the main titles. But almost all of the movie mattes off well in a wider format, in case you wish to experiment.
Most of the extras from the old DVD are present. Back in the late 1980s the cast and crew were reunited for a reissue of the picture. Topkeka PBS producer Bill Shaffer, whom Savant met much later while researching Sergio Leone movies, was a fan of Carnival of Souls and took the opportunity to make a TV docu about the local movie that made good. The film clips in his The Movie that Wouldn't Die!" will be a good reminder of how Carnival used to look — dull, murky and indistinct. Also present are the deleted scenes (just the main scenes, not the one and two-shot deletions) and a great deal of outtake footage that could well be edited into a different film. Other pieces on the film's inspired Saltair Pavilion location are included as well.
The new items begin with a spirited talk about Carnival of Souls by writer-comedian Dana Gould. He makes a lot of minor factual errors, mostly dates, but sums up the film's appeal quite nicely. Critic and filmmaker David Cairns has directed an elaborate short subject ode to Carnival of Souls. He enlists input from other critics, whose voices are heard filtered through Mary Henry's car radio. The approach is arty but appropriate. Cairn's narration communicates well some of the difficult-to-convey feelings and ideas about ethereal horror, that the rest of us too quickly file under the catchall phrase, 'uncanny.'

When splitting a sample into exercisers and non-exercisers, it appears that exercise as a pre-requisite precedes a higher range of activity. Inactive people tend to be on the lower end of creatine kinase activity and relatively clustered in magnitude, while exercise generally increases activity, but also introduces a larger range of possible activity.[56]

Another study tested male subjects performing two bouts of 30 second isokinetic cycling before and after ingesting 20 g creatine monohydrate daily for 5 days. Work production improved about 4%. Cumulative increases in both peak and total work production over the two exercise bouts were positively correlated with the increase in muscle creatine [14].
Collectively the above investigations indicate that creatine supplementation can be an effective strategy to maintain total creatine pool during a rehabilitation period after injury as well as to attenuate muscle damage induced by a prolonged endurance training session. In addition, it seems that creatine can act as an effective antioxidant agent after more intense resistance training sessions.
Transparent Labs' StrengthSeries Creatine HMB is an impressive blend that includes 5 grams of Creatine Monohydrate, 2 Grams Beta-Hydroxy Beta- Methylbutrate (HMB), and 5 mg of Black Pepper Extract for increased absorption. These clinically effective doses have been shown to enhance strength, boost muscle gains, and minimize fat and muscle loss. Made with no artificial sweeteners, coloring, or preservatives, each serving of is pure, unadulterated Creatine.	Keep Reading »
Creatine monohydrate is regarded as a necessity by most bodybuilders. Creatine monohydrate is the most cost-effective dietary supplement in terms of muscle size and strength gains. … There is no preferred creatine supplement, but it is believed that creatine works best when it is consumed with simple carbohydrates. This can be accomplished by mixing powdered creatine with grape juice, lemonade, or many high glycemic index drinks.[36]
Lifters who follow high-volume or high-intensity resistance-training programs, as many bodybuilders do, may also benefit from carbohydrate intake immediately post-workout. Compared with a placebo, carbohydrates combined with protein immediately post-workout and one hour after a bout of resistance exercise have been shown to increase insulin levels and rates of glycogen resynthesis.[19]
Cranking up the levels of testosterone within the body, XPI's Testosyn is formulated with 100% natural and powerful ingredients to build lean muscle, boost sex drive, and increase energy levels. Using a high-performance testosterone complex that contains D-Aspartic Acid, Fenusterols, and Tribulus Terrestris, this potent supplement will aid in the enhancement of each workout and promote free testosterone. Testosyn's ingredients have the ability to increase testosterone levels nearly twice as much as other products for more strength, mass, and sexual vigor.	Keep Reading »
Some other cytokines and hormones may increase the receptor activity. These include growth hormone (GH) which acts upon the growth hormone receptor (GHR)[166][167] to stimulate c-Src[168][169] which directly increases the activity of the CrT via phosphorylation. This is known to occur with the 55kDa version of c-Src but not the 70kDa version and requires CD59 alongside c-Src.[170]
Of course, cardio is an important part of fitness too, but the benefits of strength training are major. Strength training helps build muscle, and lean muscle is better at burning calories when the body is at rest, which is important whether you're trying to lose weight or maintain it. It also helps strengthens joints and bones, avoid injury, improve your muscular endurance, and will help you give it your all during your other workouts, whether that means setting a new PR if you're a runner or pushing (and pulling) a little harder with your legs during your favorite indoor cycling class.
There is a nuclear receptor known as TIS1 (orphan receptor, since there are no known endogeouns targets at this time) which positively influences transcription of new creatine transporters[171] and, in C2C12 myotubes, seems to be responsive to cAMP or adenyl cyclase stimulation from forskolin (from Coleus Forskohlii) with peak activation at 20µM.[171][172]
Creatine helps create essential adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This is the energy source of muscle contractions. By upping your levels, you can increase the amount of energy available to your muscles, boosting your performance. Because your muscle strength and size increases when you add weight and reps, improving your performance can be a game changer in terms of increasing your muscle mass. If you're able to lift longer and harder, your muscles will grow. Creatine is certainly a winner among muscle building supplements.
A great analogy that I like is that the balance between training and recovery is like digging a hole. Each time you lift, you dig yourself deeper and make it harder to climb out of the hole. To get back out again, you have to fill in the hole to return to ground level, and the only way to fill it is with food and rest. If you overdo it in the gym by pushing too hard, you won't be able to train as often or at a high capacity. Eventually, you'll get injured.
Most causes of brain injury (calcium influx, excitotoxicity, lipid peroxidation, reactive oxygen intermediates or ROIs) all tend to ultimately work secondary to damaging the mitochondrial membrane and reducing its potential, which ultimately causes cellular apoptosis.[258][259][260][261] Traumatic brain injuries are thought to work vicariously through ROIs by depleting ATP concentrations.[262][263] Creatine appears to preserve mitochondrial membrane permeability in response to traumatic brain injury (1% of the rat's diet for four weeks),[264] which is a mechanism commonly attributed to its ATP-buffering ability.
The main storage area of creatine in the human body is the skeletal (contractile) muscle, which holds true for other animals. Therefore, consumption of skeletal muscle (meat products) is the main human dietary source of creatine. Since vegetarians and vegans lack the main source of dietary creatine intake, which has been estimated to supply half of the daily requirements of creatine in normal people, both vegetarians and vegans have been reported to have lower levels of creatine.[58][59] This also applies to other meat-exclusive nutrients, such as L-Carnitine.[58]
Creatine is a molecule produced in the body. It stores high-energy phosphate groups in the form of phosphocreatine. Phosphocreatine releases energy to aid cellular function during stress. This effect causes strength increases after creatine supplementation, and can also benefit the brain, bones, muscles, and liver. Most of the benefits of creatine are a result of this mechanism.
MuscleTech Cell-Tech could also be a solid pick for muscle growth. Detractors may not be a fan of the artificial ingredients, but there is evidence that including carbohydrates and alpha-lipoic acid with creatine may increase muscle creatine content. That said, this product uses a little less alpha-lipoic acid than was used in the study suggesting this synergistic effect.
Several review studies assessing the safety of creatine supplementation tend to make note of increases in formaldehyde and possible carcinogenic results.[451][452] Specifically, creatine is metabolized into an intermediate called methylamine, which can be converted to formaldehyde by the SSAO enzyme.[453] An increase in urinary formaldehyde has been noted in youth given 21g of creatine for one week, during which both methylamine (820% increase) and formaldehyde (350%) were increased, relative to control.[454] However, a more prolonged study using 300mg/kg (loading dose of around 20g) in adults for ten weeks failed to replicate these effects.[455]
Green tea offers many health benefits, such as inhibition of cardiovascular disease and cancer. It also has some mild thermogenic effects, independent of its caffeine content, that may assist fat loss. Some studies even show that green tea offers protection against joint degeneration. If you don't have the time or inclination to drink several cups of green tea daily, you can get the same or better effects by using standardized capsules or tablets of green tea.
I get lost every time I walk into my neighborhood GNC… the people who work there know their stuff, but nobody knows my body better than me and that's where it all falls apart, but I'm working on that. I agree, I rather have grass-fed and more natural options as opposed to anything containing GMO in the products… The point is to become healthier, not go the other way…. But I also don't want to get too much soy in my diet either… My wife is doesn't want it for me and it's given me headaches too, so I'm not really one for those. I guess small amounts of soy should be okay, right? Could someone be allergic to soy? There's tons of other options though and I'm going to have to really look more into these here coz it has everything I've been looking for! Thanks for putting this together!
When creatine supplementation is combined with heavy resistance training, muscle insulin like growth factor (IGF-1) concentration has been shown to increase. Burke et al [2] examined the effects of an 8 week heavy resistance training protocol combined with a 7 day creatine loading protocol (0.25 g/d/kg lean body mass) followed by a 49 day maintenance phase (0.06 g/kg lean mass) in a group of vegetarian and non-vegetarian, novice, resistance trained men and women. Compared to placebo, creatine groups produced greater increments in IGF-1 (78% Vs 55%) and body mass (2.2 Vs 0.6 kg). Additionally, vegetarians within the supplemented group had the largest increase of lean mass compared to non vegetarian (2.4 and 1.9 kg respectively). Changes in lean mass were positively correlated to the modifications in intramuscular total creatine stores which were also correlated with the modified levels of intramuscular IGF-1. The authors suggested that the rise in muscle IGF-1 content in the creatine group could be due to the higher metabolic demand created by a more intensely performed training session. These amplifying effects could be caused by the increased total creatine store in working muscles. Even though vegetarians had a greater increase in high energy phosphate content, the IGF-1 levels were similar to the amount observed in the non vegetarian groups. These findings do not support the observed correlation pattern by which a low essential amino acid content of a typical vegetarian diet should reduce IGF-1 production [33]. According to authors opinions it is possible that the addition of creatine and subsequent increase in total creatine and phosphocreatine storage might have directly or indirectly stimulated production of muscle IGF-I and muscle protein synthesis, leading to an increased muscle hypertrophy [2].

A New Wave
Photo credit: Boston Breakers
How do you bounce back from an eighth place finish without three of your top scorers? That's the quandary confronting Boston Breakers coach Tom Durkin going into the 2015 NWSL season.
The departures of Heather O'Reilly (nine goals), Jazmine Reeves (seven goals), and Lianne Sanderson (five goals) have left the Breakers with enormous voids to fill in the final third. But given the team's well-documented defensive struggles (53 GA, the worst in NWSL) last season, Durkin appears to be more concerned about fielding a sturdier selection.
"I think, overall, we're more balanced than we were last year," Durkin said in club statement on Monday. "We have some really good, young talent. As long as we're able to keep a level head, I think the team is going to be really competitive."
One player the Breakers can certainly count upon this year is 2014 NWSL Goalkeeper of the Year Alyssa Naeher, who'll be back for a third season. Naeher will have veteran center backs Cat Whitehill and Julie King in front of her, as well as newcomer Kassey Kallman, who joins the Breakers after helping FC Kansas City win last year's title.
In the middle third, U.S. International Kristie Mewis and veteran Katie Schoepfer will both be back, hoping to bring the kind of veteran leadership the Breakers will need with so many new faces. Two of those new faces are Amy Braczuk, who comes to Boston via Western New York, and newly-signed fourth round pick Stephanie Verdoia. The Breakers have also brought in Brazilian internationals Bia, Suzane Pires and Rafinha during the offseason.
Replacing O'Reilly's production will be a tough task, without question, but the cupboard isn't completely bare. The Breakers retained Canadian International Nkem Ezurike (two goals in 11 games) and acquired Morgan Marlborough (two goals in 10 games) from FC Kansas City. They also drafted Boston College's Stephanie McCaffrey, who scored six goals and added seven assists during her senior year at Chestnut Hill.
But Durkin isn't just counting upon his first XI to get the job done this season.
"The roster is always tricky with 20 people," Durkin said. "So your last couple decisions are obviously people who can play in a few different spots.
On paper, it looks like 2015 might be a rebuilding year for the Breakers. With a number of young players and no top-choice U.S. Women's National Team player on the roster, no one in Beantown is talking about a title this year. But that doesn't necessary mean that Durkin's group is destined for another disappointing finish.
The fact that there aren't any high-profile internationals may just work in the Breakers' favor. While the likes of FC Kansas City, Seattle Reign and Chicago Stars will all be without their top stars this summer due to the World Cup, the locals squad will be relatively unaffected by the month-long tournament.
The Breakers will kick off the season on Saturday at Portland. And who knows? With a renewed commitment to balance, and a host of players all looking to make a name for themselves, 2015 could have its fair share of pleasant surprises.

Invincible est un film irlando-américano-britannico-allemand réalisé par Werner Herzog en 2001.

Synopsis
L'histoire se déroule au début des années 1930 en Allemagne. Zishe Breitbart, un jeune forgeron juif polonais à la force exceptionnelle, est découvert par un agent berlinois qui décide de le lancer dans le music-hall. Hanussen, directeur de cabaret à Berlin et roi de l'hypnose, l'engage pour réaliser sur scène des numéros où il montre sa force, portant des déguisements de héros de la mythologie germanique. Hanussen, personnage douteux, s'acoquine aux nazis dans le contexte de la République de Weimar finissante. Zishe, garçon naïf qui n'était jamais sorti de son village juif, est tout d'abord intimidé par Hanussen mais finit par se rebeller contre son imprésario et, un soir, refuse de jouer les Siegfried et révèle sa judéité au public pendant un spectacle.

Autour du film
Invincible s'inspire de la vie de deux personnalités authentiques du monde du spectacle de l'entre-deux-guerres, le voyant  Erik Jan Hanussen et l'hercule Zishe Breitbart, mais ne prétend pas à la véracité historique et mélange vérité et fiction. Si Hanussen et Breitbart se sont effectivement rencontrés dans les milieux du spectacle, le premier n'a jamais été l'imprésario du second. Breitbart, qui ne cachait pas sa juidéité, n'était pas le jeune homme naïf représenté dans le film, mais un artiste de cirque et de music hall qui gérait sa célébrité internationale de manière tout à fait professionnelle. Le récit du film se déroule par ailleurs en 1932, tandis que le véritable Breitbart est mort en 1925. Les deux personnages sont utilisés non pas pour représenter leur vie de manière authentique mais pour construire une allégorie sur l'identité, la sincérité et la puissance.

Le rôle de Zishe Breitbart est joué par Jouko Ahola, un professionnel finlandais du sport de force, vainqueur en 1997 et 1999 de la compétition de L'Homme le plus fort du monde.

Le tournage d'une partie du film s'est déroulé à Kuldiga (Lettonie).

Four College Athletes Claim Not Paying Players is in Violation of Antitrust Laws
Four college athletes have filed a class action suit with the representation of well known sports attorney, Jeffrey Kessler. The four players claim that the NCAA has unlawfully capped player compensation at the value of scholarship and that this is in violation of antitrust laws. The NCAA compensation cap only allows players to be compensated with tuition, books and room and board expenses. It does not allow colleges or universities to pay their athletes salaries or compensate them in any other way.
What are antitrust laws?
Antitrust laws are various state and federal laws that regulate business organizations. The purpose of these laws is to promote competition for the benefit of consumers. Private individuals, private organizations and businesses, as well as government agencies can bring legal actions to enforce antitrust laws.
How do antitrust laws relate to this suit?
The basis of this suit is that only allowing college athletes to be compensated in the form of scholarship funds disregards market forces and therefore results in financial damage to athletes. If colleges and universities were allowed to pay their players, this competition between the institutions would result in great benefit to the player.
The plaintiffs also allege that the NCAA is a cartel. A cartel is defined by antitrust laws as a formal agreement between competing entities. Since members of the NCAA are competing against each other and have entered into a formal agreement to abide by certain rules, it seems they fit the definition. The restraint on trade caused by the NCAA is in the form of rules and regulations capping player compensation. This agreement certainly affects the free market. If players could be paid, then colleges and universities with the most money could sign the best players (just like the process in all American major league sports). By only allowing scholarships as compensation, the playing field is leveled and competition is suppressed because prospective athletes are not driven by the most money.
Officials of the NCAA are sticking to the principle that the financial constraints are necessary to promote amateurism. Plaintiffs claim that the rules are a naked restraint on trade without any pro-competitive purpose or effect.
College sports is big business which generates billions in revenues each year. Should the athletes get a bigger piece of the action?

Divvying Up A Fishing Quota
By Neil Farrell
After nearly a year, Morro Bay's experiment into the community anchoring fishing rights is catching on, and the non-profit organization that owns and administers the deep water groundfish fishery quota has grand plans for the future.
The concept is to keep the fishing, landing and processing local to benefit the environment, fishermen and in turn community at large.
Andrea Lueker, the director of the Morro Bay Community Quota Fund, said in 2014 they had four fishermen leasing parts of the local quota of groundfish — sablefish, petrale sole and other species — not a bad start for an organization that's barely 2-years old and a broader set of regulations that were enacted in 2011 — the West Coast Groundfish "catch share" program.
The Morro Bay Community Quota Fund incorporated in March 2013, she explained, with the goal of taking over the management of local fishing rights or quota – which is part of a new catch shares program quota set up by the federal government for the entire West Coast groundfish fishery.
The Nature Conservancy bought up six of the boats and fishing permits back in the mid-2000s, during a time when the fishery was in a state of collapse and had been declared a disaster. Groundfish, which is a year around fishery had been thetown's most productive if not always lucrative fishery.
TNC held the permits and thus got the quota when the Pacific Fisheries Management Council (PFMC) and NOAA adopted the controversial system to regulate and try and save the industry.
Quota shares are completely transferable and can be quite valuable and the worry for communities like Morro Bay has always been that that large, corporate boats would buy up the quotas, come here, catch the fish and then land them elsewhere. So the whole idea of creating a "locally" controlled quota was a way to help keep the local docks busy.
The Quota Fund took out a loan to buy TNC's quota for Central Coast waters and the environmental organization as of last May is now out of the fishing business in these parts.
"The TNC still owns some quota share of their own," Lueker said, "However, theydo not have a seat on our board of directors. We purchased some of their quota and now solely own that quota."
Lueker said TNC did discount its asking price, valued at $1.5-$2 million, in exchange for including in the bylaws such objectives as avoiding overfished species, allocating quota locally first, prioritizing allocation to selective lower impact gear, such as hook and line and trap or similar lower-impact gear understanding that diversification of gear types improves a port's flexibility and recognizing that some species can only be caught by trawl.
In reference to trawl, Lueker mentioned a recent study published that looks at the effects of trawl on sandy seafloors, which when studied showed little lasting damage. The four fishermen who used the quota in 2014 were Bill Blue, Rob Seitz, David Rose and Joe Conchelos. Seitz, who has the old CFV South Bay, is trawling. There's more quota available if anyone else wants to get into it.
"We have five permits and we're only using two to three at this time," said Lueker. The quota would be open to a Port San Luis fisherman, and other regional fishermen as well. "We have the quota traditionally held in this area. If a Port San Luis fisherman or regional fishermen was interested they can apply." The program that's been set up is unusual in a couple of ways.
"What's unusual here is that we put into the bylaws to set aside money for scientific research, and have a scientific advisory committee" made up of some of the governing board members.
They released a request for proposals (RFP) in February with a due date of May 1 to organizations, or even individuals, to tap part of their available $15,000. They are looking for someone who might have a project in mind who's unlikely to get money somewhere else. There may also be an opportunity to use this funding with other grant sources, including potentially a partnership between Monterey/Moss Landing, Half Moon Bay and Ft. Bragg fishermen — all areas that are currently in various stages of setting up their own Community Quota Fund programs
They have also set aside some funding for"social programs." Lueker said they hadn't yet figured out how that money would be spent but have a few ideas. One would be a funding program to encourage younger men and women to become fishermen. "There's no parameters yet," she said, "our priority was getting the science advisory committee's work started, but we could help out a new entrant with gear or something to help them get started. This is an expensive fishery." They will also work on some community education, she added.
Fishing within a catch shares/quota system is tricky. Fishermen participating have to count the fish, and pray they don't catch something that's prohibited, protected or even one fish over the quota's tonnage limit.
"The Quota Fund owns about 4 million pounds overall," Lueker said. That tonnage is divided by species and then further divided amongst the fishermen, who lease the quota, paying back into the Quota Fund for its annual budget of about $125,000. Lueker was a volunteer since shortly after losing her city manager job in late 2013, until last July, when she was hired on part time. She looks rested and comfortable in her new role.
Dwayne Oberhoff who owns Ecological Asset Management, also works for the Quota Fund and manages the vessel accounts through National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS),"basically, "moving fish into fishermen's vessel accounts. There are rules on how much quota they can have," Lueker explained. "As we get more fishermen we'll need more quota." Fishermen could also have outside quotas if they had allocations already or bought them somewhere. Most fishermen work more than one fishery too, and Lueker said just the South Bay is full time trawling.
The future of catch shares, which fishermen fought against tooth and nail, is about as steady as a boat in high winds, as the annual quotas pounds vary each year and many of the fishing regulations and rules are under the control of the Pacific Fisheries Management Council and/or NMFS.
"We got a positive response from PFMC when we introduced the ourselves and the Quota Fund at their November 2014 Council meeting in Costa Mesa," Lueker said, also attending that meeting were Quota Fund Secretary Rick Algert, Board member Jeremiah O'Brien and Chris Kubiak. "In the future we hope to address some regulatory limitations on how much quota our local organization can hold and manage, which could mean more fish to the Quota Fund and in turn to our fishermen. "We're very interested in that."
The catch is something called the "control rule" that limits how much any one entity can own and so presents a real sticking point for growth, Lueker said. "But it keeps the big corporations from monopolizing/owning all the quota.
"We'll continue to tweak things with the Quota Fund, though it is going well," she added. "The operations and management might change some, but it's been interesting starting something from scratch."

Minor-Preston Family
Kindling the flame of education through the generations
For over three decades, the Minor Preston Educational Fund has supported the college education of graduates of the public schools of Charlottesville and Albemarle County.
A Legacy of Education
The Rives C. Minor and Asalie M. Preston Educational Fund was founded thirty-five years ago to honor the exemplary lives and legacies of two African-American educators, father and daughter, who combined taught for over eight decades in the public schools of Albemarle County, most of those years in segregated schools. Their legacy lives on in the work of the Minor Preston Educational Fund, which has supported the college education of nearly 1000 graduates of the public schools of Charlottesville and Albemarle County.
The Minor Preston Scholars Program, the Fund's central initiative since 2015, provides four years of college support that includes financial assistance and an Advisor drawn primarily from the ranks of local educators. The program is unique in our community in that it offers both financial and advising support over multiple years. In this way, the Scholars Program honors the lasting relationship between teacher and student epitomized in the lives of Rives Minor and Asalie Preston.
The Flame of Education
My Dear Friend and Teacher.
I regret that I can't do more for you than to thank you for teaching us our first lessons. I am sure you were not aware when kindling the little flame of education here among us that you were doing a work that was to be so far reaching.

Is Inflation Rising Around The World?
Well, after a day when Gold gained $20, and the Chicken Littles were out screaming that the sky was falling because the stupid CPI ratcheted up to 2.1% yoy, we had a day of drifting yesterday… The currencies are, for the most part, trading in the same clothes as yesterday, as witnessed by the Dollar Index, which yesterday morning was 88.84, and today it's 88.83.
I told you yesterday that kiwi was sneaking up on 74-cents, and last night it broke through that level! This last upward move in kiwi came courtesy of a report by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ), that showed that businesses in New Zealand are expecting inflation to rise this year, and that led to the idea that the RBNZ will have to begin their rate hike cycle soon… I had just said yesterday, that I was convinced late last year that the RBNZ would be removing the dust covers from their rate hike machine in the 1st QTR of 2018… I sure hope this all comes together like a good plan, because longtime readers know that I love it when a plan comes together!
There was none of those shenanigans with the creation of the ECB, folks… Yes, we're talking about eons ago, but the comparison is a good one, and one of the reasons, I quickly turned coat and jumped on the euro's band wagon. In fact, I wrote a white paper in 2002 titled: The Year of the Euro!
OK, time to move on here… Recall last week when I highlighted the article that claimed that there was manipulation of the VIX (volatility Index), and said that it didn't surprise me any to hear that, because in my eye, all markets are manipulated these days… Well, I came across this yesterday, and found it pretty interesting… Bart Chilton, a former member of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, said a whistleblower's allegation of manipulation of the CBOE Volatility Index "rings true." "The VIX has been suspect for at least seven years," Chilton said.
We also saw January PPI (wholesale inflation) yesterday, and it ratcheted up 0.4%… Uh-oh! That means coming down the pipeline are price increases folks… Got Gold?
Let's do a quick review of the data this week… Household Debt rose to a new record level, Retail Sales were negative, and flat when taking out the slumping car sales, Industrial Production was negative, and Capacity Utilization lost ground… Not a good week for all those "the economy is strong" flag wavers, eh?
Gold gained $3.10 yesterday, with 234,000 contracts traded… I'm somewhat surprised given the rise in PPI that we'll talk about in a minute, that Gold didn't gain more on the day, but I'll take $3.10 gains rather than a whacking!
So, all you youngsters out there, that think that the Gov't has your back on your credit card debt accumulation, you might find that you grow old, live alone with all that debt… I'm just saying!
For What It's Worth…. I saw this yesterday in the WSJ and it about blew my socks off! This is a tiered subscriber article, which means you can read some of it, if you aren't a Wall Street Journal subscriber, by clicking here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/fannie-mae-to-require-3-7-billion-government-cash-infusion-1518616798 It's about how Fannie-Mae needing another tax-payer infusion of cash… Here we go again!
Or, here's your snippet: Fannie Mae reported a net loss of $6.5 billion for the fourth quarter, triggering what is expected to be the first taxpayer-funded infusion for the mortgage-finance giant in six years.
That's it for today… It's a 3-day Holiday Weekend as we celebrate President's Day… I've always said that we shouldn't clump the President's birthday's together… If the President deserved to have a Holiday to commemorate his birthday, then let's celebrate that day! Feb 12, and Feb 22 should be holidays, not clumped together! I'm just saying! I can't wait to get out to the deck with my cup of coffee this morning… So, no Pfennig on Monday… I hope you can get through the withdrawal! HAHAHAHA! March is right around the corner, folks, and longtime readers know that I take a spring vacation from writing every year during March… I'm just throwing that out there to get you prepared… Mathew Sweet takes us to the finish line today with his song: Girlfriend… And with that, I hope you have a Fantastico Friday, and it sure looks like a Good Day to have a Good Day, eh? Remember, to Be Good To Yourself!

A Christmas market is returning to Great Dunmow for another year this weekend.
The market will be back in the town, based at the Arts Centre, from 11am until 3pm on Sunday, December 10.
With gift stalls and food on offer, as well as the usual top range of independent shops and businesses in Dunmow high street, it is the perfect chance for people to pick up their Christmas shopping.
Santa will also be in attendance, at his grotto behind the Saracen's Head pub. Entry is £4 including a gift, or £6 including a gift and an emailed photo.
There is also entertainment to delight visitors, with a main stage located near The Working Men's Club playing host to a variety of singers and performers – and the stage will also see the whole event opened by the town mayor.
As part of the event is the annual Live Nativity which begins at 3pm and processes through the town to St Mary's Church.


A wave height radar that provides reliable and real time data is essential in keeping offshore, harbour and shipping operations safe and efficient. At Radac we have developed a type of wave height radar which accurately measures wave height. Waves are the main contributing factor to downtime in offshore operations. By using Radac's wave height radar and the real time wave data it produces, companies can make optimal use of weather windows. This greatly increases the efficiency of offshore, shipping and coastal companies.
Rather than spending time on complicated service operations on existing measuring devices such as buoys and adcp's, the wave height radar of Radac is very easy to maintain. Since the system does not come into contact with the corrosive environment of the sea, the amount of maintenance is practically non-existent. The Height & Tide model of our wave radar only weighs 12 kg and has a height of just 26 cm, making it ideal for being mounted on virtually any existing offshore structure.
We would like to tell you more about our wave height radar and its applications in the field. We would therefore like to invite you to call us at +31 15 890 32 03 and make an appointment with one of our specialists.

Arithmetic Assignment Operators in C++
C++ provides a short form when a variable is incremented, decremented etc. For example
What is Operators? Explain Scope Resolution Operator and Operators Precedence.
In addition to the operators like arithmetic operators, relational operators, logical operators, the conditional operator and assignment operators that most of the languages support, C++ provides various new operators that are given in Table

Operator Precedence Or Associativity of Operators
The Precedence Operator Specifies in a Expression Which Operator will Execute first, when there are Many Operators in an Expression. So that the Operator Precedence defines the Sequence or the Way for Performing the Operations of the Operators.
Increment Operator and Decrement Operator
All the Above Operators are Called as Binary Operators because they takes two Operands for Performing an Operation. But the Increment and decrement operators are called as Unary because they takes only one operand For Performing an Operation This Operator Contains ++ for Increment and -- for Decrement.
What do you mean by Hierarchy of Operators
While We are Executing an Arithmetic Statement Which was too Large and it Contains So Many Operators then the problem is how the Statements will be Executed and in what order means.
Different types of Operators.
An operator is a symbol which helps the user to command the computer to do a certain mathematical or logical manipulations. Operators are used in C++ language program to operate on data and variables. C++ has a rich set of operators which can be classified as
What is Operator Overloading
When an operator is overloaded, it takes on an additional meaning relative to a certain class. But it can still retain all of its old meanings.
Scope Resolution Operator
A global variable is one whose value can be used anywhere in the program. Its value can be used in the Main() function and all other functions in the program. However, a local variable is one whose value is local to the function i.e. its value can be used in that particular function only where it is declared. A global variable is defined before the Main() function. Same name can be given to local and global variables. For example in the following program segment


HIGH TEMPERATURE: Generally, heat is provided from an outside source, say for example a match or spark, and after that the fire produces enough of its own heat to be self-supporting. If we reduce the temperature of any burning substance below the kindling point, the fire in every fire pits will go away. Sometimes enough heat is normally generated within substances, including in a pile of fatty rags, to cause them to broken into flames. This is known as spontaneous combustion. Certain bacteria in moist hay could cause the temperature to rise rapidly, causing the hay to burn. These sources of heat cannot be ignored when considering hearth prevention and safety, in addition to deciding what to burn within your outdoor fire pit. OXYGEN: However are other chemicals that can complement fuels to produce heat, breathable oxygen is the most common. The need for fresh air to sustain a fire in all fire pits is demonstrated by the fact that fuels warmed in a vacuum will not lose. Sorry there will be no outdoor fire pits in space!

Vector's pick of recent pediatric healthcare, science and innovation news.
President Obama's recently announced plan to invest $215 million in precision medicine – which uses DNA testing to personalize medical care- has many in the medical community cheering. Others, however, are concerned that DNA sequencing is still far from optimized and many of the best doctors remain unfamiliar with how to appropriately integrate genetic results into their care plans.
The recent outbreak of measles in the U.S. shed light on the growing number of parents "opting out" of vaccinating their kids. Public schools are fighting anti-vaxxers in the courts- and precedent is on their side.
There's been a lot of talk lately about wearables and mobile health tracking apps making big strides in 2015. However, purposefully using the massive amounts of aggregate data will just as important as collecting them- and much more difficult.
Boston Children's pediatrician Andrey Ostrovsky, MD, outlines how we can refocus our investments in health technologies to align with the Affordable Care Act's "Triple Aim": improving patient experience, improving the health of populations, and reducing the cost of care.
Medically complex patients are one of the most expensive cohorts of pediatric patients, in terms of health care dollars. A new initiative by St. Mary's healthcare system in New York is testing out a telehealth model as a cost cutting strategy with an aim to improve quality of care.
Pediatric immunologists in Australia have cured 26 of 29 patients from their peanut allergies with a careful regimen of peanut protein + probiotics. This is the first known trial to effectively use probiotics to alleviate allergies in humans.

All these protestors...
Are we forgetting how Trump got into the white house in the first place? The American people voted him in! Now people want to protest. Same thing with Brexit. People voted for the UK to leave the EU then the protests started but they died down eventually, which is what will happen in America too.
It's not like the government just said "hey Trump you are now the President!" No! He won the electoral vote meaning people want him there.

How is the electoral college fair when it declares the less popular candidate the winner?
Obama wouldn't have won it would've come down to that popular vote.
Where the fuck are you pulling this info? From your ass? The 69 mil against 59 mil John McCains or 65 mil vs 60 mil from Mitt Romney? Tell me when wouldn't have he won the popular vote?

And also the uneducated middle class according to some polls.
Just saw a piece on the BBC web page about how this election was affecting families. Family members stopped talking to each other or insulted each other over Trump/Hillary. This is even dividing families and partners.

Of course not. My post was just response to your statement that it's some kind of selfish privilege to be considering going abroad. Personally I think to some this declaration of "moving to Canada" is mostly talk.
My point is you can't really know what those people have been through, not everyone shares their assault story in social media.

I don't know, but I doubt she had anything to do with porn. People say she was an escort, but people say lot of things that aren't true so..
You're a bit stupid aren't you. Ever thought that the people protesting didn't vote him in anyway? Hillary got more VOTES than Trump. Trump has actively spread his bigotry throughout his campaign. So yes people will protest. You're acting like 0 people voted for Hillary. Read a book!

The electoral college is a joke. Democracy is a joke. Since the electorals get to choose who wins not the voters.

Acusing someone of that is wrong. Men can be whores and pornstars. You people need to get over your sensitively shit. I don't see people crying when someone calls a man something negative.
Whore is in itself a misogynist word, with such history and meaning. It's called a "slur". Kinda like fag.
Same problem as I have with my parents. They defend Russia to the max. In Everything. We have yelled on each other so much. Calling each other stupid, uneducated and so on.
Men can and have been called whores too. It's not just a woman thing like you people are trying to make it. It is not the same as being called a fag. Fag = discrimination against a gay man. Whore does not = a sex. Nowhere in the definition of the word whore does it state anything about a woman. It fact it doesnt mention a sex at all. You people are just reaching. Don't act like men haven't been called whores as well.
Just look at this thread title that ls on the first page of this forum "did i mention Whorge. was buying a bar?"
Whore is gender specific.
Being a whore is fun!
Know first who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly.

Whore is definitely directed towards women. The reason why the term 'man-whore' exists is specifically BECAUSE the word 'whore' directly connotes women.
why this thread suddenly talking about "whore & manwhore"...what a twist....

Cause a user got escorted out a week ago for using that remark in a derogatory manner and is still bitter about it.

well, here we are. I didn't log in at all yesterday and spent most of the time sulking at work while meeting with clients. Strangely it wasn't until a man with very BAD body order came in that I finally smiled because he was the sweetest person I'd met in weeks. Seriously, so charming. Anyway, Trump will be president. I assume that everything that was discussed on media outlets yesterday has already been covered here. I see the protests are a topic of discussion so I'll jump right on in with you. For years Obama has been defended against people saying that he was not their president and for weeks we have been criticizing Trump for not openly saying he would accept the election results. Hypocrisy is not the way forward. He won. He won the swing states; he won the electoral college, and lost the national popular vote. This is the American system for electing the president. As for the protests, Unfortunately, every out cry from these protests will fall on deaf ears. Trump doesn't care about them and neither do the people who voted for him. I will say that there is action that definitely needs to be taken now. Both at a national level and state level. All year long, state legislatures will be passing bills that affect our way of life. There are issues that need to be taken out to the forefront in way that hasn't been seen yet: transgender rights, religious tolerance, protections for lgbt+ people in the workplace, equal pay for women --- previous campaigns for these issues are nothing compared to what needs to happen in the future. More is needed much more. Unfortunately, we can't start this fight until we accept the truth. President Trump.
