Not every director's cut is superior to the theatrical version.

Here, then, are five films where the theatrical cut was arguably better than the director's cut.
Is Coco a ripoff of the Book of Life?

You can watch 'Coco' on Amazon Prime, here.
What is the theme of Coco?
Coco is a lovely, effervescent film about death. It explores themes of familial responsibility, death, and loss, but marries those heavy themes with musical numbers and unforced comedy. The animation is uniformly beautiful and the script is often hilarious.

The theatrical version is rated by the MPAA so that the viewer can determine if the movie is family-friendly or appropriate to watch. The unrated version of a movie allows people to watch the scenes that were removed from the main film.

What does it mean unrated version?
"An unrated film is simply that — a version of the movie that has not been submitted for a rating," said Kate Bedingfield, chief spokeswoman for the Motion Picture Association of America. "The ratings system is voluntary, so anyone can release an unrated film in the home entertainment market.
Should I watch LOTR extended or theatrical?
Take a couple extra hours to watch the extended editions. If you're already committing that much time to watching the theatrical releases, the extra hours shouldn't make too big of a difference, and the story is richer and more complete with the extended releases.
Which version of Cinema Paradiso is best?
As I said, there are two versions of the film: the "butchered" version and the director's cut. The first version made Cinema Paradiso the award-winning film that it is. The director's cut is a longer version of the film, it's the film according to the director's vision.

Riata Vista Campus is a multi-phase corporate office development located on a 40-acre site in north Austin. The project consisted of seven office buildings totaling roughly 1,000,000 GSF and three parking structures totaling 4,000 structured parking spaces.
The GarzaEMC team's design services included master planning of the site, design and permitting through the City of Austin, TxDOT, and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Utility design components included a private domestic and fire water system consisting of 5,400 LF of 8-inch to 12-inch lines, a private wastewater collector system consisting of 2,500 LF of 6-inch to 12-inch lines and 14 manholes, a chilled water system, a primary electric duct bank loop, and a telecommunication duct bank loop. The water and wastewater connections were permitted through Austin Water Utility and an Sewage Collection System Plan for the wastewater system was approved by TCEQ.


It all began with a baby named Grace.
As her baptism approached, I wanted to present her with something unique – something I could personalize – to remember the occasion. I figured she would receive a Bible with her name inscribed on the cover from someone else so I was looking for another option (I wasn't sure exactly what). It was one of those "I'll know it when I see it" kind of situations!
Though I scoured the Internet, I came up empty.
Of course that's not to suggest there are no lovely baptism gift options available. My issue was that I wanted something that would commemorate the occasion in a personal way.
In that baptism, the seeds of The Christian Gift were planted.
Though we started by designing personalized baptism keepsakes, the idea quickly expanded into something much larger.
It's accurate, though, to say that our baptism mementos were the biggest sellers when we first launched, and that's what put us on the map.

WATCH: Chaos, screams, stun grenades erupt as cops and refugees clash in Cape Town
News / 30 October 2019, 12:29pm / Mthuthuzeli Ntseku, Theolin Tembo

Cape Town - Crying children, and foreign nationals being dragged by police were seen on Wednesday after chaos erupted outside the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) offices at Waldorf Arcade.
Chanting "we want to go home" the refugees blockaded the entrances of the mall forcing the police to use water and to disperse the crowd.
The clash between police and the protesters comes after a court order was granted on October 18 at the Cape Town Magistrate's Court following an application by the building landlord to evict the group.
More than 5000 refugees and asylum seekers have been camping at the UN offices demanding the agency to take them out of the country, as they felt unsafe.
The protest by the asylum-seekers has been ongoing and gaining momentum ever since it began nearly four weeks ago.
Earlier this week safety and security mayoral member JP Smith said the matter was completely in the hands of SAPS and the Department Of Home Affairs.
"The owner of the property there has applied for a court interdict the interdict will likely be affected at some point by the South African Police," he said.
Activist Zackie Achmat who was on the scene said that they are looking for children who have reportedly gone missing and that he saw a doctor being chased away from helping a woman in distress.

Police spokesperson Novela Potelwa said members of the public order police have taken action against people embarking on a sit-in protest at the Waldorf building in Cape Town.
"About one hundred people have been arrested after they failed to heed the call to disperse. The police are in the area to support the sheriff in executing a court order to evict about 300 refugees and asylum seekers who have been occupying the building in a sit-in protest for quite some time," she said.
Potelwa said the police in the Western Cape were aware of earlier efforts to engage the group facilitated by role players such as the UNHCR to resolve the impasse in an amicable manner.
"Unfortunately the attempts yielded no positive result. With a court order in place, the SAPS is obligated to support its execution by the sheriff. Law enforcement officials from the City of Cape Town and the police's Public Order Police are henceforth on site," Potelwa said.
"As part of the execution of the court order, taking into account the size of the group, officials from the departments of Social Development and Home Affairs are also present to offer technical support to the situation," she added.
UNHCR spokesperson Hélène Caux had previously said: "We acknowledge the issues they (refugees) raised.
She said the UNHCR was working closely with the South African authorities to continue providing protection through the issuance of appropriate identity documentation, facilitating access to healthcare, education and employment opportunities.
Caux said South Africa was hosting almost 268 000 refugees and asylum seekers, mainly from Somalia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Ethiopia.

Home News Rapper at WH Poetry Night Draws GOP Ire
Rapper at WH Poetry Night Draws GOP Ire
There were love poems and folk tunes. There were classic verses and modern odes. There were sound effects and a gritty rap.
Michelle Obama's evening of poetry at the White House rolled out seamlessly Wednesday night, showcasing the impact of such words on American culture. The fireworks erupted earlier, as Republicans cried foul before anyone had uttered a word.
President Barack Obama opened the night by describing a great poem as one that "resonates with us, that challenges us and that teaches us something about ourselves and the world that we live in." An all-star lineup of poets and musicians performed.
It was the inclusion of Grammy Award-winning rapper and actor Common that drew complaints from Republicans, who said some of his lyrics celebrate violence. Common, who is considered fairly tame as rappers go, is known for rhymes that tend to be socially and politically conscious.
He was on his best behavior Wednesday night.
The rapper opened his performance with cuts of words from Martin Luther King Jr. and spoke of walking into the White House with "love on my sleeve." His performance gave nods to the challenges of crime and violence that face children, to gangsters and beacons of light for those in dark alleys, and celebrated the rise of Barack Obama.
It ended with "one King's dream, he was able to Barack us."
Other performers included former poets laureate Billy Collins and Rita Dove, singer Aimee Mann and comedian-musician Steve Martin and his bluegrass group the Steep Canyon Rangers.
Karl Rove, who worked in the White House for President George W. Bush, labeled Common a "thug" and said on Fox News Channel that the performer had advocated assassinating Bush and violence against police. Rove added that the White House decision to include Common in the event "speaks volumes about President Obama and the White House staff."
Sarah Palin, for her part, tweeted, "Oh lovely, White House …" and provided the link to an article critical of the decision.
Common, born Lonnie Rashin Lynn Jr., took the criticism in stride, tweeting back, "So apparently Sarah Palin and Fox News doesn't like me." Later, he added a Facebook post in which he said, "Politics is politics and everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I respect that. The one thing that shouldn't be questioned is my support for the police officers and troops that protect us every day. Peace yall!
Rove's reference to Common's rap about Bush was based on lyrics criticizing the Iraq war that included the line: "Burn a Bush cos for peace he no push no button."
White House spokesman Jay Carney defended the decision to invite Common and said reports about the rapper were deliberately being distorted.
Carney said the president has spoken out forcefully against violent and misogynistic music lyrics and has a strong record of support for law enforcement.
"I would say that, while the president doesn't support the kind of lyrics that have been raised here, we do think that some of these reports distort what Mr. Lynn stands for, more broadly, in order to stoke controversy," Carney said.
He said Fox News Channel just six months ago had described Common as a rap legend.
"One of the things the president appreciates is the work Mr. Lynn has done with children, especially in Chicago, trying to get them to focus on poetry as opposed to some of the negative influences of life on the street," Carney said.
Michelle Obama did not address the criticism during afternoon remarks at a workshop with some of the artists for dozens of students invited in from around the country.
The first lady urged the students to keep on writing and made a pitch for arts education. She also confessed to once being a "budding writer."
"When I was young, I was a passionate creative writer and sort of a poet. That's how I would release myself," Mrs. Obama said. "Whenever I was struggling in school, or didn't want to go outside and deal with the nonsense of the neighborhood, I would write and write and write and write."
The president, for his part, told the evening crowd that he had submitted a few poems to his college literary magazine. "You will be pleased to know that I will not be reading them tonight," he added to laughter.

Clever King Harald: Swift Doom Targets the Viking Who Wants the English Throne – Part II
Harald Hardrada of Norway used cunning and surprising tactics to bring down foes. Although he was wounded in the face during one of his campaigns, he continued to see victory after victory.
[Read Part 1 Here]
Of all the castles Harald stormed, his last one in Sicily was by far the cleverest.
Death Becomes Him
When Harald and his forces arrived outside another strong castle, he fell ill, but as the days passed, his illness only appeared to get worse. Castle defenders noticed something was different about the Varangians; they seemed low in spirit and so those in the castle decided to investigate. After finding out that the Varangian leader was ill, they felt relieved that he might die and thus assumed the city was safe.
Harald's men waited outside the city. Harald Hardraada saga, Heimskringla (Public Domain )
Harald's illness got worse and death was imminent. Some Varangians went to the castle walls in peace and informed those inside that their leader was about to die, and they requested that Harald be buried in the castle. Priests from the church were eager to lay hold of the corpse for their church and quickly assembled a funeral procession with pomp and grandeur. Before they came to the camp, the Varangians built a coffin and placed Harald in it.

Afterwards, they made their way towards the priest with the coffin high in the air, playing their part. As the Varangians escorted their dead leader through the castle gates, one Varangian subtly propped a bar against the gate door to keep it open. Once the coffin had been carried into the church, Harald leapt out of the coffin, gave the signal, and his forces came rushing into the city, slaughtering anyone within arm's reach—even priests! In the end, Harald and his men killed every male within, and gained much loot, all on a ruse that he was dead from illness.

No End to War
With the Sicily campaign over, Harald was soon in another war, as a Lombard-Norman revolt erupted in southern Italy in the spring of 1041. Harald and his Varangian Guard fought many battles in southern Italy and were defeated along with the Byzantine forces. The reason for their defeats was due to the use of Norman knights in conjunction with Lombard infantry to form formations too difficult to defend, such as the Battle of Olivento in March and the Battle of Montemaggiore in May.
Many battles were held between Lombard-Norman rebel forces and the Byzantine Empire. Representative image - Roger I of Sicily at the 1063 battle of Cerami ( Public Domain )
After the debacle in Southern Italy, Harald was sent on what appears to be his last military mission in the service of the emperor, which was direct towards Bulgaria. In the autumn of 1041, Harald arrived in Bulgaria where he took part in some questionably destructive operations in which he gained the nickname "bulgar burner."

With Bulgaria an afterthought, Emperor Michael IV died and so did Harald's favor among the court, particularly with the new emperor…

James Vinson Carmichael (October 2, 1910 – November 28, 1972) was member of the Georgia General Assembly, an attorney, business executive, and candidate for Governor of Georgia.

Early life
Carmichael was born, in Cobb County, Georgia to parents Emma Mae Nolan and John Vinson Carmichael. His parents owned a country store outside of Smyrna. Just before he turned sixteen, his spinal cord was almost completely severed when he ran out in front of a car. He was able to return to Marietta High School, after a year of medical care, but still in a wheelchair. He re-learned how to walk but could only do so for short distances with a cane. He endured intense pain for the rest of his life.

Overcoming his disability, Carmichael graduated in 1933 from the Emory University School of Law.  While attending Emory he was a member of Sigma Pi fraternity and Delta Theta Phi law fraternity.

After receiving his law degree, he partnered with Mayor Leon M. "Rip" Blair in Marietta to form a practice. In 1938 he married Frances Elizabeth McDonald, and had three children: Mary Emma, James Jr., and Frances Elizabeth.

Legislature and public service
Carmichael was elected to two terms as a Georgia legislator (1935–1940) without opposition. Carmichael served in the Georgia House of Representatives. He decided not to seek a third term when his law firm took on a major client that did business with the state to avoid potential conflicts of interest.

In 1943 Governor Ellis Arnall appointed him as executive director of the Georgia Department of Revenue and later placed him on the committee that wrote the 1945 Georgia Constitution.

Carmichael also served as one of Georgia's delegates to the 1952 Democratic National Convention.

Business leadership and World War II
As Cobb County attorney, Carmichael teamed with Mayor Blair and Commissioner George McMillan to build an airport in 1941 called Rickenbacker Field (later part of Dobbins Air Reserve Base). When Pearl Harbor was attacked, the group was able to bring a base of the United States Army Air Corps to the site, and a branch of the Bell Aircraft Corporation. Carmichael was named attorney for Bell's Georgia division and in November 1944 he was promoted to general manager of the 28,000-employee plant, which had become known as United States Air Force Plant 6. When the war ended Bell had sold the military some 663 B-29 Superfortresses on schedule and without a single crash.

1946 gubernatorial election
When the war ended the government cancelled its B-29 contract and Marietta's Bell plant closed. Gov. Arnall encouraged Carmichael to run against two former governors in the 1946 Democratic primary, Eugene Talmadge and Eurith D. Rivers.

Carmichael was not as liberal as Arnall but far more so than Talmadge or Rivers. He was skeptical of the New Deal labor and welfare programs but represented a progressive business philosophy that championed moderation in race relations, improved public schools and roads, and attracting major companies to Georgia.

Carmichael won the popular vote 313,389 to Talmadge's 297,245, however, because of a unique Georgia law known as the "county unit system" he lost the election. The rule favored rural Georgia over metropolitan areas in a take on the electoral college system, thus making Talmadge the winner of the Democratic primary.

Post World War II
With the closing of the Bell plant Carmichael became a partner in several local industrial ventures. In 1947 he assumed the presidency of the Scripto pen company in downtown Atlanta. Under his leadership it expanded overseas and became the largest manufacturer of writing instruments in the world.

Korean War
At the start of the war, the U.S. Air Force chose the Lockheed Corporation to reopen Marietta's assembly plant. Lockheed took advantage of Carmichael's expertise and asked him to serve as general manager with the assistance of senior Lockheed executive, Daniel J. Haughton. He ran the Georgia division from 1951 to 1953 supervising the refurbishing of 120 B-29s and the start of the B-47 Stratojet project. He then turned the division over to Haughton and returned to Scripto. However, he remained on Lockheed's board of directors until 1972.

Later life
Carmichael was courted by Robert W. Woodruff to take the presidency of The Coca-Cola Company in the early 1950s but the pain from his back injury wouldn't allow it.

Carmichael always championed the need for a two-party system in politics whether this meant "Democrats and Republicans [or] Democrats and Loyal Democrats." In mid-century Georgia this statement risked political suicide to a politician with statewide aspirations. However, in 1960 he introduced Richard Nixon at his campaign event in Atlanta.

His management philosophies was the subject of a story in the journal Management Methods in September 1958. He remained president at Scripto until 1964, when he was forced out by falling profits and a strike by the International Chemical Workers Union.

In 1964, he was the first president of the Atlanta Arts Alliance and a trustee of Emory University and Atlanta University. He was on the boards of the Interdenominational Theological Center, the Atlanta School of Art, and the University System of Georgia, and a governor in the Kiwanis International. He was also on the board of directors for the Trust Company of Georgia, the Southern Company, and Georgia International Life Insurance. That same year he was a speaker at Vanderbilt University's IMPACT symposium.

In 1965 he was awarded the Georgia Medal for Distinguished Service.

He died in Marietta at age sixty-two, on November 28, 1972.

The Carmichael Student Center at Kennesaw State University is named for him.

How to Win a Swedish Beard Competition
Pro tip: Just don't bother shaving.
Matt Schiavenza
Vincent Kessler/Reuters
Kristofer Larsson doesn't own an artisanal cheese shop in Brooklyn. Nor is he the guitarist in an experimental folk band. In fact, the construction worker and father of two from Varnberg, Sweden won a national contest for having a best beard without trying to make a statement at all: He was simply too busy to shave.
This man has won #Sweden's 'best beard' competition: http://t.co/MJqzJWprKh pic.twitter.com/Vufx1tlOoq
— The Local Sweden (@TheLocalSweden) October 27, 2014
At least that's the story Larsson told an audience of 150 in Malmo, Sweden's third-largest city, who selected his rustic, bold beard out of hundreds. Larsson's boss, the wonderfully named Pontus Flatum, rewarded his hirsute colleague with some time off of work.
"He is at home with his kids until Thursday," Flatum told The Local.
You'd think that beard contests would be cheerful events free from the controversies of, say, a Miss America pageant. You'd be wrong. As it happens, this year's World Beard and Moustache Championships, held in Portland (of course) this past Saturday, reportedly spiraled into chaos halfway through. This included a sequence that could have fit neatly into the 2000 presidential election:
At 5:40 [emcee Byron] Beck told the crowd the event would end at 6, despite there being two categories and the overall vote still remaining. What was supposed to be a well-organized facial hair competition had turned into a race against the clock. The crowd booed as two competitors rushed late onstage during the Garibaldi preliminaries, nearly forcing a recount. Beck seemed panicked as he tried to hurry it along. "Come on, come on, come on, you guys! We gotta go, go, go!" he yelled into the mic.
One complication is that there are actually two separate competitions called the World Beard and Moustache Championships. But let's not get into it.
"You'd have to write a book the length of 'Moby Dick' to explain it all," noted Phil Olson, a "beardsman" from California.
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, Kristofer Larsson has been inundated with attention since his victory.
"This has become bigger than anyone could have expected," said Pontus Flatum. Somewhere in Portland, a group of bearded men nodded sagely.
Matt Schiavenza is the senior content manager at the Asia Society and a former contributing writer for The Atlantic.


So I saw this and I couldn't help it but to think about the Passport... I'm so interested in the form factor!!
I am definitely going to pick that up!
I dunno about beautiful. Looks interesting though and the fact it will be available to others opens plenty of options. BlackBerry Mobile could effectively build out a Passport-like device now if they wanted to especially since Google is also supporting the displays with new API's and developer options. They'd have to work out some keyboard, though, or just rely on a virtual keyboard.
Samsung makes beautiful phone! Quality should be top notch.
so NOW it's hip to be square?
ppeters914 and BigAl_BB9900 like this.
It also looks like it would support a Passport form factor as far as screen ratio.
Basically what Bla1ze said in Post #4 .
This could only mean GOOD news for a Passport Android version, 2020 maybe?
The_Passporter and krazyatom like this.
LOL....so now samsung picked up? on the Blackberry Z20/20 phone/tablet concept (20/20 perfect eye sight) replacement for the Blackberry Playbook tablet first discussed back on BlackBerry's discussion boards before they closed way back when. Zte's Axon M been around for a year now (a little more conventional but still a fold open bigger screen).
The aspect ratio reminds me of the LG Vu series. Perhaps people can whine about letterboxed videos on another brand now.
New info on it lists a 4x3 screen (4.2x3, actually), so it's not square.
Can't really compare to a Passport and say "see, android can do 1:1", because it's not 1:1.
I started a thread on this Motorola Razr4 folding concept phone. Physical keyboard or not I would jump on this flip/folding phone.
Not sure how I feel about a tablet size foldable phone. Not at $1,000+ that's for sure. I guess time will tell.
I'm also wondering if that screen would eventually show permanent signs of a fold. Even if it did have a PKB I'd be waiting a year to see how people got on with it with sustained use.
It's not really relevant to compare what was available then to what is available now. As I noted, Android updated their API's since then and are fully supporting foldables.
Still, even with that in play it'll be up to developers to produce functional UI elements. I'm having a hard time seeing how some apps would ever adpat to the format. Kind of like how Android tablets are now, even to this day, a lot of apps don't run properly.
ppeters914 and rarsen like this.
So screens on all sides . . . Can't drop this one at all!
I doubt the screen will crack, might scratch all to he'll.
If you drop it? Has more vulnerable positions.
I doubt the screen is glass. Probably a plastic film of some kind.
Samsung Foldable Phone --- is it the Passport re-incarnated?

Does Burger King Own Popeyes
Does Burger King Own Popeyes In 2022? (Not What You Think)
In-N-Out Burgers, Inc.
In-N-Out headquarters at
University Tower in Irvine
; 73 years ago
Esther Snyder
Harry Snyder
(announced)
Lynsi Snyder
, President
Mark Taylor, COO
Roger Kotch, CFO
US$575 million (2017 estimate)
Burger King's fast food franchisees love the freshly made Whoppers, onion rings and shakes. They often wonder if Burger King has purchased other fast-food restaurants they would like to visit.
Some have wondered whether the rumours that Burger King owns Popeyes Chicken restaurants are true. Read on to find out more if this is a question you might have.
Burger King Will Own Popeyes By 2022
Popeyes was bought by Tim Hortons, Burger King, and Tim Hortons for 1.8billion dollars. The merger occurred in 2017 after Restaurant Brands International, a Toronto-based corporation, acquired the Louisiana-style franchises with a $600 million deposit. This deal was completed in April 2017, and the company is currently expanding its franchises around the world.
How does Burger King's merger affect Popeyes Chicken and Biscuits, and what is the legal effect on Burger King? You can find out more by reading on!
Did Burger King Buy Popeyes?
The actual Burger King corporation did not buy Popeyes because such an entity does not exist.
Restaurant Brand International in Toronto owns Burger King.
The corporation which owns Burger King and Tim Hortons bought Popeyes.
The assertion that Burger King bought Popeyes may be true, but this is not the truth. Burger King is an extension to Restaurant Brands International.
Are Burger King and Popeyes Still Competitors?
Restaurant Brand International owns both these restaurants, but they do compete.
Take, for instance, what is commonly known as the chicken sandwich wars.
The past was a time when Popeyes and Burger King claimed to have the better sandwiches. This resulted in increased revenue for the fast-food chain.
At the end of the day, Popeyes and Burger King still compete in the marketplace.
Is Burger King affected by Restaurant Brands International's purchase of Popeye's?
As per usual, Burger King and Popeyes will continually update their menus as they try out new and improved items. Their signature dishes, such as the Whopper hamburger and Louisiana-style poultry, will also remain unchanged.
In this regard, Burger King and Popeyes will be marketed to the masses by Restaurant Brand International, both domestically and abroad. It could bring about some significant changes for Burger King fanatics.
How will Burger King's customers react to the Merger
Restaurant Brand International is the owner of Popeyes and Burger King, but their Franchisees have many options to buy restaurants through RBI.
Carroll's Restaurant Group bought 220 Burger Kings, Popeyes and other Burger King franchisees across the US. This was in addition to promising fast-service outlets in Southeastern States.
All parties will benefit from this change, as consumers will now be able access brands such as Popeyes or Burger King in the future.
Burger King and Popeyes to become a franchise
Similar to how Taco Bell and Pizza Hut combined their drive-thrus and restaurants, Burger King and Popeyes are in the works.
Restaurant Brands International is actually looking to expand its presence in North America by joining over 10,000 restaurants.
These drive-thrus also enhance customer experience because customers have the option to buy food at either franchise whenever they like. The future may see Whoppers and Creole rice available.
Which Food Types Will Popeyes and Burger King Deliver-Thru Serve?
Popeyes is set to be renovated, while Burger King will remain largely unchanged.
It is possible to take out items that are not selling well; in addition, you may see price rises or name changes.
Despite this, the best sellers on their menu may remain. This means the changes will likely be minor, so consumers won't notice any significant differences at Popeyes or Burger King.
Burger King Had a Problem with Branding after the Popeye's Merger
Rumours abound about the possibility that one or both businesses will lose their image following a merger. Did Burger King and Popeyes have branding problems after RBI acquired them?
In many cases, market analysts claimed this would create challenges for the brand since they offered vastly different food items.
This issue has been resolved so far.
Burger King and Tim Hortons merging?
Some wondered if a Tim Horton-Popeye's merger would be possible after the purchase of Popeye's by Burger King. Tim Horton's, while primarily a Canadian business, has a handful of franchises throughout the United States.
This could lead to Tim Hortons merging with American-based Burger King franchises. Burger King could be more profitable if this happens, and that would result in a greater longevity of the market.
We have other related posts that will help you learn about Burger King. These include: what does it cost to be a Burger King Franchisee, Apple Pay for Burger King and how Burger King sources their beef.
International Restaurant Brands (the company that owns Burger King) did purchase Popeyes. This is not wholly the same thing as saying Burger King bought Popeyes, and Burger King itself does not exist as a lone corporate entity.
Burger King and Popeyes are now aligned. Tim Hortons will follow shortly. American diners may be pleased to see this news, as they might enjoy a generous helping of red beans with their Whopper.

GameCrafterTeam has announced today that it will be bringing its sci-fi mecha space shooter Project Nimbus: Code Mirai to PS4 later this month.
Project Nimbus: Code Mirai has actually been available on PS4 since last September, but only via the Japanese PlayStation Store. The game will release on April 10th in North America, and then a day later on the 11th for the UK and Europe.
"We always knew Project Nimbus was destined for console, but we couldn't have anticipated how successful the Japanese launch of Code Mirai would be. We're so thrilled to be able to bring the first two acts of our chaotic mecha game to the West as the earliest possible opportunity," said Pawee Pakamekanon, Project Leader at GameCrafterTeam.
There's no word on pricing for any region as of yet but we reckon we'll know the cost soon enough as the game goes up on the various PlayStation Stores.

When a recipe calls for nuts, it usually says toasted nuts. It's not just in baking but nuts for toppings, for salads and even for snacking. Why? Does it really make a lot of difference whether the nuts are toasted or not? Oh, yes, it does. And the difference lie in the texture, the aroma and the flavor. When nuts are toasted, they release their oil making them more fragrant. The process of toasting changes the texture by adding crisp to the crunch. And toasting heightens the flavor of nuts.
Don't believe me? Try baking cookies with nuts in them. Divide the cookie dough in half; add toasted nuts to half and untoasted nuts to the other half. See which batch is better.
The lazy cook or baker will probably complain that toasting the nuts is just an additional step on top of all the other steps. But, hey, it doesn't take a lot of work to toast nuts. And the extra effort more than compensates for the better flavor, texture and aroma of the dish.
Toasting nuts is easy, really. Very.
If a recipe calls for chopped toasted nuts, you can chop the nuts before or after toasting. Chopping them before toasting cuts down the toasting time BUT they will require closer supervision because they will burn faster than whole nuts.
If you're toasting a small amount of nuts, say not more than a cup, you can do it on the stove top. Take a thick bottomed wok or frying pan (no, not a sauce pan or any deep pan because you do not want the steam to condense in the pan as that will make the nuts soggy) which should be wide enough so that the nuts are in a single layer. DO NOT add any oil. Place the nuts in the pan, set over medium heat and toast, shaking the pan often to make sure that the nuts toast evenly on all sides.
How do we know if the nuts have been sufficiently toasted? Different nuts will require different lengths of time to toast. Some nuts are smaller while some nuts are oilier so they will react to heat differently. The common denominator is that all nuts will change color and emit a nutty-earthy aroma during toasting. Sufficiently toasted nuts will also appear wet and glistening. That's the oil that they're releasing and the oil coats the surface. So, watch out for those three changes: color, aroma and the glistening appearance.
If you're toasting a large amount of nuts, you can ensure even toasting better by using the oven. Preheat the oven to 400F. Take a baking tray and spread the nuts in it. Pop into the oven and let the nuts toast. Whole nuts will take about 10 minutes; chopped nuts will toast in considerably less time. There is no need to stir the nuts unless your oven has a history of uneven cooking.
And that's how to toast nuts. And remember, toasted nuts taste and smell better, and they have a nicer mouth feel than untoasted nuts.

Pagasa has raised public storm warning signal 1 over Catanduanes due to Tropical Storm Mario.
Winds of 30-60 kph are expected in at least 36 hours, the state weather bureau announced.
At 8:00 AM today, the center of Tropical Storm Mario was estimated based on all available data at 477 km East of Virac, Catanduanes (13.8°N, 128.7°E).
Tropical Storm Mario is expected to be at 172 km East of Casiguran, Aurora by tomorrow morning and at 97 km North Northwest of Aparri Cagayan by Saturday morning. By Sunday morning, it is expected to be at 470 km North Northeast of Aparri, Cagayan or 247 km North Northeast of Basco, Batanes.
Residents in low lying and mountainous areas under signal #1 are alerted against possible flashfloods and landslides.
Estimated rainfall amount is from 7 – 20 mm per hour (moderate - intense) within the 300 km diameter of the Tropical Storm.
The combined effect of Southwest Monsoon and TS Mario will bring moderate to heavy rains and thunderstorms in Bicol Region and Eastern Visayas which may trigger flashfloods and landslides.
Fisherfolks and those with small seacrafts are advised not to venture out over the eastern seaboards of Southern Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
The public and the disaster risk reduction and management council concerned are advised to take appropriate actions and watch for the next bulletin to be issued at 5 PM today.


Pune: In a first, Pune-based real estate player Kolte-Patil sold luxury villas worth Rs 10 crore online. Like apparels, electronic goods, vehicles its now e-commerce boom for real estate players. Online home sales is gaining momentum day-by-day.
Kolte-Patil, which recently concluded its home buying festival Nest Fest in Pune, sold close to 250 units online, worth Rs 150 core online.
"We have created history in real estate where over 250 apartments worth Rs 150 crore were sold online in 10 days. We received booking from 25 cities across 80 countries which shows that a typical real estate customer is moving from the conventional physical to online and the market is slowly but surely moving to the digital space," says Sujay Kalele, CEO, Kolte-Patil Developers. What also came as surprise was the fact that high-end villas were also booked online.
Though, the share of online property business in the overall realty market in the country is still minuscule, it is growing fast. Experts expect it to grow to 15-20 per cent in the next couple of years. Online portals like Magicbricks.com, 99acres.com and makaan.com are increasingly becoming a tool for research on buying, selling and leasing residential or commercial properties in many parts of the country.
Tata Housing which pioneered the concept of online home buying in India and also partnered The Great Online Shopping Festival by Google in December 2013, sold over 50 units in the affordable and luxury segments. The price range for these properties was in the range of Rs 12 lakh to Rs 12 crore. Post that, Tata Value Homes formed an alliance with Snapdeal.com and also launched its own e-commerce platform tatavaluehomes.com - the first of its kind, to sell homes. Another much talked about tie-up was its exclusive partnership with Housing.com in 2014.
"The real estate industry has witnessed a sea change in the past few years basis changing consumer demographics. Adoption of the online platform by the modern day consumer has added a new channel of sales for the industry and led to a wider reach for consumers. We believe this is the right time for consumers to buy their dream home and would like to help consumers realize this dream," said Brotin Banerjee, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Tata Housing Developing Company.
In December 2014, Tata Housing and Tata Value Homes, partnered again with GOSF to exclusive launch its properties in Bangalore (The Cascades) and Mumbai (New Boisar Project) and make its other properties available to customers across the country at exciting prices. The company received booking orders worth Rs 130 crore against 200 units in the three-day festival.
Rather Banerjee further added that the company will continue selling homes on its own portal as well tie up with other e-commerce companies in the future. "These various partnerships along with launch of our in house e-commerce portal have resulted in the sale of over 1,000 apartments translating in over a million sq.ft," he added.
Another real estate player Gera Developers has witnessed its sales almost doubling in the past year through online which is now contributing to approximately 19 per cent of its overall sales.
"We have seen sales almost double in the past year through online which is now contributing to around 19 per cent of our overall sales. With 1/5th of sales dependent on online channel and especially with the minimum unit size starting at Rs 1 crore and going up to Rs 5.5 crore it has helped us in lowering the cost of overall client acquisition to quite an extent. Although, we haven't done it yet, but in the next years marketing plan we are looking at apportioning 20 per cent of the online budget into tie ups with e-commerce sites and leveraging the popularity & reach of websites like Snap deal and Flipkart," says Yogesh Dhoot, vice president - sales & marketing, Gera Developments.
Other than joining e-commerce portals, real estate players are also making use of digital marketing companies to help them create solutions that makes it easy for buyers to use the online platform while making purchase decision.
"With trusted brands it's easier for customers to make the decision of even buying homes online. With developers uploading all relevant project-related information and site pictures to their websites, customers can have a complete digital sales experience. Choosing inventory has become a much more transparent process, says Vikram Kotnis, managing director, Amura Marketing Technologies. The company develops a customised technology platform to manage the marketing and sales for real estate players.
Kotnis added, "Investors, NRIs and people wanting to buy real estate in a different city prefer going online to book the apartment of their choice. Although rest of the buying process happens offline, it's the convenience of booking a home from the comforts of their current residences that entices customers to prefer ecommerce in real estate."

New South Wales redistribution: take two
The New South Wales boundaries have now been finalised as well. Geographically dramatic changes have been made to the large electorates in the west after the original proposal had Parkes occupying the entire north-western quarter of the state. It has now traded in more than two-thirds of its total area as originally proposed for the Wellington and Mid-West Regional shires to the east of Dubbo. The state's north-western vastness will instead be divided between Calare and Farrer, the latter of which loses the Murrumbidgee shire to Riverina. All affected electorates are safe for the Coalition except independent MP Peter Andren's seat of Calare, whose centre of gravity has moved still further from his home base of Orange.
Elsewhere, a small amount of rejigging has been done around the junction of Paterson, Newcastle and Hunter; changes have been made to the boundary between Parramatta and Reid after the original redistribution deprived the former of the Parramatta town centre; and various adjustments have been made affecting the boundaries of Wentworth, Kingsford-Smith and Sydney. The comments thread of the previous entry contains much productive discussion of the likely effect of these changes.

Makin's not 'inner city' – it's very much outer suburban mortgage belt. The AEC classifies it as 'outer metropolitan'. And if Family First's recent state performance is any guide (7-8% in the relevant state electorates), it's pretty socially conservative. But since Trish Draper's retiring (I think), it should be an easier target for Labor than Wentworth, or anything else in NSW except Macquarie. Only question is how much Draper's taking-the-boyfriend-to-Europe thing depressed her vote last time, and whether the Liberals can recoup enough of it to offset her lost personal vote.
totally correct Zach, bad example, should have said Moreton. The overall point is that in the seats classified as Outer Metropolitan, overall there has been a massive swing in the last ten years towards the Liberal Party, I believe an unrecoverable swing, certainly while Howard is at Kirribilli House.
Sacha says:
Moreton isn't inner metro – it goes from Yeronga (old very established but not inner city suburb) out to Logan. The end near Logan isn't inner city at all. It's a mixed seat.
Don't forget most of these outer suburban morgage-belt seats were held by Labor with big margins during the 80's and 90's, and swung massively against them in 1996 due to the economy. This is not Liberal heartland, any more than it was Labor heartland during the Hawke years. They are swinging seats that will all go 10-15% towards Labor when they eventually win office.
Inner city seats just don't swing: Labor has got a better chance of getting a 10% swing in a Hughes or a Casey than a 3% swing in Wentworth or Higgins
David Walsh says:
The AEC gives Moreton a "demographic rating" of Inner Metropolitan. Admittedly it's arbitrary.
Given it's small margin (further reduced by the redistribution) and with Oxley, Rankin & Griffith counting amongst its neighbours, Moreton does seem like a seat that should be eminently winnable for Labor.
I'm very much with Patrick in this debate. Labor took three seats off the Liberals in 2004. Adelaide, Hindmarsh and Parramatta. What do they have in common?
Moreton lies wholely or almost wholely in the Brisbane City Council boundaries, which is the historical core of greater Brisbane. The councils surrounding Brisbane: Logan, Redlands, Pine Rivers and Caboolture, are part of greater Brisbane but have only been suburbanised probably in the last 40-50 years. From that point of view Moreton is not an outer urban seat. However, it's certainly not an "inner metro" seat as the seat of Brisbane or Griffith might be. I'd call it an "established suburban" seat – as I'd classify Petrie and Bonner.
The AEC categories aren't necessarily very informative.
Moreton should be eminently winnable for Labor, if the "swing was on".
Inner metropolitan: located in a capital city and comprising well-established, built-up suburbs.
Bottom of this page
The categories are these:
Outer metropolitan: located in capital cities and containing areas of more recent urban expansion.
Provincial: divisions with a majority of enrolment in major provincial cities.
Rural: divisions without a majority of enrolment in major provincial cities.
I don't know how useful they are in analysis as they're so broad!

I think those 'wraparound' seats in outer metropolitan NSW, like Macarthur, Lindsay and Hughes, have changed since the Hawke-Keating years. So they may be tougher for Labor to win back. Also, Pat Farmer is a popular local member.
dovif says:

Those "Outer subrub mortgage seats" that was held by Labor by big margins 20 years ago, are different to the seats that are held by Liberals with big margin today.
Today those seats contains people with a large mortgage, large income, who owns their own land, they are no longer the seats with battler they were 20 years ago, these are now suburbs of the upper class, these people often owns their own business, are helped by Howard's economic policies, ie IR law and perceived lower interest rate, it will be very difficult for Labor to win these back, Labor are more likely to win seats like Bennelong, than Lindsey, MacCather etc in the next election

I wonder… How sensitive are people in the outer suburb mortgage seats (Lindsay, Macarthur, etc) to an economic downturn – or even just a soft patch? .
Wednesday, September 27, 2006 at 12:26 pm
How close is the A.C.T. to reaching 2.5 quotas (a third seat)?
Such a seat would be won by Labor wouldn`t it?
interesting point tijawi, i think that, if anything, an economic downturn would swing the outer metropolitan seats even further behind the Liberals as the "safer" economic option and would also damage Labor's chances in inner metropolitan seats. My feeling is that there are many voters in those inner seats who would like to punish the Liberals for their social conservatism as long as they feel secure about the economy.
Although I would also say that Lindsay is a very different seat to Macarthur. Lindsay is a very popular local Liberal member in what is really a Labor seat. Macarthur also has a popular local but it is now clearly at the very least a moderately safe Liberal seat.

Tom – the ACT was allocated three seats for the 1996 election. It reverted back to two following that election and its entitlement has continued to fall steadily backwards since.
Canberra and Fraser were won with TPP figures of 57+%. The new seat of Namadji (based on Tuggeranong) was a tighter affair. Labor won with just 51.5% tpp. Although given that this was a Coalition landslide election, we could perhaps think of this third seat as still being "reasonably safe" for Labor. In that it falied to fall despite a 9.4% pro-Coalition swing. (Albeit these suburbs fell within the seat of Canberra prior to that election, which the Liberal Party gained in the 1995 by-election. But then, that's the nature of the by-election beast.)
Further to that, I think the 1997 ACT redistribution was a lost opportunity. Much as the last-in/first-out made sense in ditching the one-term old Namadji, I think Fraser should have gone for three reasons.
Firstly, and most importantly, mightn't they want to free up the name Fraser for a future Victorian division? Secondly, it would allow the seat of Canberra to include the Canberra CDB. And thirdly, retaining Namadji would have been consistent with the goal of keeping Aboriginal names.
David Walsh – agree with you on all three points for retaining the Namadji over Fraser. Also, the AEC's ostensible goal of keeping Aboriginal names seems to be looking a little tattered lately; Gwydir, Namadji and Corinella were all abolished over the past 12 years. Two of these are also Federation seats (though Corinella was resurrected after 83 years).
To add to another discussion, about Qld surely getting (yet) another seat at the next redistribution. Is it possible that this seat might come at the expense of the NT (i.e., re-merged into a single seat) rather than Vic or SA or WA?
The House of Representatives is approximatly twice (give or take the distribution of partial quotas among the states) the number of state Senators ((6×12=72)x2=144) plus the Territory Members (currently 4) (they come from the Commonwealth power to represent the Territories as it sees fit).
That 144 is divided by the population of all the states to get the quota and then the population of each state is divided by the quota and each state then gets the number of seats it reaches the quota for plus if the fraction left over is more than half the state gets another seat. This leads to to more seats (but in theory could lead to the same or less) than the 144 for the states as does the minimum of five per original state.
The Territorial Members are Extras and so cannot be lost to any state even though they use the same quotas (legislative prop up of the Northern Teritory excluded).

Thanks Tom, I'd forgotten this crucial detail. So if NT had voted in favour of statehood back in 98, then it would have eaten into the number of seats allotted to the rest of the states. Or does this only apply to the 6 original states?
Tristan Jones says:
Friday, September 29, 2006 at 10:17 am
Only original states need to have a mininium of 5 house of reps seats and I think 12 senators. If the NT became a state I would just have 1 to 2 House of Reps seats and I am not sure how many senators, could be as much as 12 or as low as say 4.
To dovif:
You look at the margin last time in Lindsay and redistrubtion which has made the seat more marginal. If Jackie Kelly were to retire and the Labor party ran a good campgain, they can pick it up, if there is a big swing to Labor in NSW, Bennelong, Wentworth, Dobell, Parramatta (on new boundaries), Eden-Monaro, Page (If Ian Causley retires) and maybe Paterson, Cowper and Gilmore if the swing is huge.
From memory (so take it with a grain of salt) the NT was offered three Senators at the time. What I was asking is if the NT became a state then do its MPs no longer qualify as 'Extra's?
The NT hated the offer of three senators – they wanted (and want) 12 like the other states – that is not going to change
If the Northern Territory becomes a state then its Senators become part of the Senate in terms of the "House of Representatives shall have as near as practial twice the number mebers as there are Senators" so the size of the House increases.
The offer of three senators would probably have been per half Senate election as statehood would mean that the group of Senators has to be divided into half and split in normal Senate elections.
If they got 6 then the HoR would increase by a as near as practical to 12 (but minus the 2 seperat territory seats) or if they got a full 12 then it would increase by about 24 (but minus the 2 seperat territory seats) giving a totals (incl. ACT2-3) of 159-61 and 171-3 respectivly.

I wonder how the districts and seats would be distributed if Hare-Clarke was introduced in the House of Represenatives?
The only sure thing would be Tasmania becoming one electorate (which might cause a slight problem at state level) in which the outcome would probably be Liberal 2, Labor 2-3 ans Greens 0-1.

Gwydir isn't an Aboriginal name, it's Welsh
In this context, Gwydir is both Welsh and Aboriginal. From the AEC website: "Named after the Gwydir River which was discovered by Allan Cunningham in 1827 and named after Lord Gwydir. Coincidentally Gwydir is also an Aboriginal name meaning 'river with red banks'"
Sounds highly improbable to me, like the dozen or so different derivations of "Canberra." In any case the seat is named for the river, and the river is named for Lord Gwydir, who took his title from a castle in Wales. So just as Calare should be pronounced "Kalari", Gwydir should be pronounced "Gwith-eer."
You know, I could have swore that "Canberra" is an Aboriginal word for "Where fun comes to die".
Albert Ross says:
"You know, I could have swore that "Canberra" is an Aboriginal word for "Where fun comes to die"."
Canberra can't be all that bad. Territorians must be desperate to get ther 'cos if the NT were to be granted 12 senate seats just about every non-indigenous permanent resident would be either a senator or on the staff of one.
If NT got 12 Senat seats then there would be Aboriginal Senators The ALP would stand at least one in it winable 3 in each half Senate election and CLP would probably do the same and a similar thing would happen with the representation of women.

STEWART PACES NEMCC IN RIVALRY AFFAIR WITH DOUBLE-DOUBLE
Itawamba Community College
Itawamba Community College (16-5, 8-2) 22 22 21 18 83

Booneville, Miss. - A trio of Corinth High School graduates put the Northeast Mississippi Community College men's basketball program on their shoulders during a pivotal rivalry matchup.
The collaboration of Desmin Harris, Raheem Sorrell and Kendall Stafford combined for 33 crucial points during the Tigers' 71-61 victory against Itawamba Community College on Monday, February 8 inside legendary Bonner Arnold Coliseum.
The win over the Indians also placed Northeast (15-6, 7-3) all alone at the top spot in the rugged Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges (MACJC) North Division with only two games remaining in the regular season.
"I told them in the locker room that I was proud of them because I thought for the first time all year we really collectively played as a team," said Tigers headman Cord Wright. "I think in every aspect defensively we were pretty solid. As a unit we were able to do some pretty good things."
The two adversaries participated in a back-and-forth affair during the initial eight-plus minutes of the contest. There were seven lead changes and another five instances in which the score was tied in that span.
Jack Nichols connected on a trey that was assisted by Dashiell Franklin to give Northeast a 16-14 advantage. Itawamba responded moments later with a Barri Hill bucket to bring the matchup into a stalemate at 16-apiece.
The Tigers utilized a quick 7-0 spurt to take what turned out to be a permanent lead. Stafford started the run with a big three-pointer from the top of the key while Nichols and Sorrell had baskets as well.
Northeast built its advantage by keeping the Indians from making a field goal for eight minutes and 17 seconds. The Tigers leaped ahead by double-digits before Carter Sweat's jumper at the 3:29 mark broke Itawamba's drought.
Tray Lawson added a pair of free throws and Kendarius Smith tacked on another make during the latter stages of the opening half as Northeast entered the intermission with a 34-22 lead.
The Indians came within two possessions of the Tigers twice after the break. But Stafford got the Tigers out of both tricky situations with two baskets that were both assisted by Smith.
Leroy Buchanan and Smith made four of six free throws in the final 62 seconds to clinch the triumph for Northeast. It is the third win in the past four tries for the Tigers versus Itawamba.
"Late in the season, it's about who can play the best as a team night in and night out," Wright said. "I love our talent and I think we've got some special players. I thought tonight was a stepping stone for us."
Stafford reached double figures for the second time in Northeast's last three outings. He amassed a team-high 16 points on 6 of 13 shooting and six rebounds, including five on the offensive glass.
Sorrell had one of his best performances in the post as a sophomore for the Tigers. The reigning MACJC All-State selection contributed 11 points and a team-best seven boards to the winning cause.
"This is a big achievement for us," Sorrell said. "I played pretty tough around the rim. I was also able to score and get to the free throw line. I feel like I did well tonight."
Smith rounded out Northeast's double-digit scorers with 12 points plus six dimes. Nichols and Lawson barely missed that plateau with nine points each while Harris completed the list of Corinth natives with six points in 28 minutes.
The Tigers forced the Indians (12-9, 5-5) into committing 20 turnovers and transitioned those miscues into 13 points. Northeast also held a 30-20 edge in points in the paint.
(W) Itawamba 83, Northeast 63
Timaya Stewart continued to show her progression for the Lady Tigers during her freshman campaign. She recorded her inaugural double-double at the collegiate level with a game-high 23 points plus a career-best 10 rebounds.
"I felt like I did good. Better than I ever have actually," said Stewart. "Our coaches told us to give it our all so that's what I did. I showed it by the way I played. I want to continue to do the same thing."
Northeast controlled the tipoff and swiftly put six points on the scoreboard. Dashiyah Agnew, Bridgejae Patterson and Stewart each had buckets during the initial minute of the contest.
The Lady Tigers (10-11, 4-6) built their advantage to 10-4 with 6:50 remaining in the first quarter following two free throws from Shelby Wilbanks and another make by Stewart.
The Lady Indians (16-5, 8-2) used a 14-0 run from that instance to take a lead that they did not relinquish. A jumper from Wilbanks finally snapped the stretch, but Itawamba took a 22-12 advantage after the first.
Northeast kept things close throughout the second period and began to trim its deficit at the 2:15 mark. Wilbanks had four points and Stewart went one of two at the charity stripe to bring the Lady Tigers within 37-32.
Natasha Jones drained a shot from beyond the arc moments later to make the score 39-35 in favor of the Lady Indians with less than a minute showing on the clock. But Marlee Hatcher banked a trey off the glass with just seconds to go to push Itawamba's lead to 44-36 at halftime.
Stewart was very active immediately after the break for the Lady Tigers. She assisted a layup by Patterson and had five points, including an old-fashioned three-point play that dwindled the Lady Indians' advantage to 48-43.
An offensive rebound and putback from Stewart with 2:52 left in the third quarter kept Northeast in striking distance at 56-50. But Itawamba concluded the period with a streak of nine unanswered points and the Lady Tigers never fully recovered.
"I think that they have fought all year to get better and we have made leaps and bounds," Northeast head coach Brenda Mayes said. "We've just got to continue to work at that pace."
Wilbanks added 12 points for the Lady Tigers. She has now accumulated double figures during each of Northeast's 21 games so far during her outstanding freshman campaign.
Patterson poured in 13 points and tied Wilbanks with seven boards. She was five of seven from the floor with four blocks to increase her tally in that category to a phenomenal 51 this season.
The Lady Tigers shot 40.4 percent overall and were 15 of 21 from the charity stripe. Northeast notched 12 total assists, including four apiece by the duo of Jones and Stewart.
Both the Lady Tigers and Tigers have the remainder of the week off before returning to action on Monday, February 15 at Coahoma Community College. Tipoff for the women's contest is set for 6 p.m. with the men to follow at The Pinnacle.

Leonel Jesús Vangioni (Villa Constitución, 5 mei 1987) is een Argentijns voetballer die bij voorkeur als linksback speelt. Hij tekende in juli 2016 een contract tot medio 2019 bij AC Milan, dat hem overnam van River Plate.

Clubcarrière
Vangioni werd geboren in het Argentijnse Villa Constitución. Hij speelde in de jeugdopleiding van Newell's Old Boys. In november 2006 maakte hij zijn debuut voor het eerste elftal. In zes seizoenen speelde hij 161 competitieduels voor Newell's Old Boys. Op 4 augustus 2007 maakte hij zijn eerste doelpunt voor de club tegen San Lorenzo de Almagro. In januari 2013 verhuisde Vangioni naar River Plate. Op 11 februari maakte hij vervolgens zijn competitiedebuut tegen Club Estudiantes de La Plata (1–0 winst). Met de club won hij in het seizoen 2013/14 de landstitel.

Interlandcarrière
Op 30 september 2009 maakte Vangioni zijn debuut in het Argentijns voetbalelftal in het vriendschappelijk duel met Ghana (2–0 winst). Het elftal bestond uitsluitend uit spelers die op dat moment actief waren in de Argentijnse Primera División. Hij speelde de volledige wedstrijd. Drie jaar later werd Vangioni opnieuw opgeroepen, en stond hij wederom in de basis – nu in de oefeninterland tegen Brazilië; na opnieuw voor langere tijd niet te zijn opgeroepen, kreeg Vangioni in oktober 2014 een basisplaats tegen Hongkong (0–7 winst).

An artificial limb is a type of prosthesis that replaces a missing extremity, such as arms or legs. The type of artificial limb used is determined largely by the extent of an amputation or loss and location of the missing extremity. Artificial limbs may be needed for a variety of reasons where a body part is either missing from the body or is too damaged to be repaired, including disease, accidents, and congenital defects. A congenital defect can create the need for an artificial limb when a person is born with a missing or damaged limb. Prosthetics are however not needed in the event of an accident where only the nerves were damaged and not the extremities. In this case, Functional Electrical Stimulators (FES) are used. Industrial, vehicular, and war related accidents are the leading cause of amputations in developing areas, such as large portions of Africa. In more developed areas, such as North America and Europe, disease is the leading cause of amputations. Cancer, infection and circulatory disease are the leading diseases that may lead to amputation.


Dutch Flower Shop has kickstarted two weeks of amorous celebrations in the run up to Valentine's Day. The renowned florist began its countdown to the most romantic day of the year by hosting a red rose giveaway in Liverpool's Commercial District in a bid to spread the love to city-centre dwellers and corporates alike.
As part of the affiliation, the florist is also hosting an pop-up shop at 20 Chapel Street on Wednesday 13th and Thursday 14th February, allowing Business District residents, workers and passers by the chance to box off their Valentine's Day blooms easily and efficiently.
Owner of Dutch Flower Shop Loraine Whittle said: "We're always thinking of ways to offer our clients the simplest way to shop, whether it's online, in store or over the phone, so we were delighted when we were approached by Savills to launch our pop-up space in the heart of one of Liverpool's busiest areas. We had so much fun launching our collaboration with our red rose giveaway and are thrilled that so many people have had the chance to share the love with us already.
As part of Dutch Flower Shop's extensive range, it will be offering a consortium of roses alongside traditional bouquets, Preserved Roses lasting for over a year.
Loraine added: "Valentine's Day is certainly a time for celebration for the Dutch Flower Shop team. Not only is it arguably the busiest time of year for a florist, it's also given us the chance to reflect on our extensive history and reflect on some of our favourite romantic bouquets, notable clients and events to name a few.


What's known as the genome-wide polygenic score, or GPS, combines information from many thousands of genetic markers, each with only a minimal effect, to produce an overall assessment of disease risk based on an individual's entire genetic background. While a recent publication claimed that the GPS could be used by doctors to identify patients at high risk of conditions such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes, a new Annals of Human Genetics study casts doubt on these claims.
"I think it's a real problem that these tests are being promoted so enthusiastically, sometimes based on claims which simply don't stand up under examination," said study author Prof. David Curtis, of the UCL Genetics Institute in London. "I don't see that they're ready for clinical use yet and frankly I doubt that they ever will be."

Nike, NFL grow Girls Flag Football

(Nike x NFL will grow Girls Flag Football)
Collaborating to inspire the next generation of female athletes, Nike announces a new grant initiative with the NFL that commits a total of $5 million in product to growing flag football within high school athletics.
This multi-year initiative will provide a one-time donation of up to $100,000 in product to state athletic associations that offer girls flag football as a high school sport or demonstrate progress by way of a pilot program beginning in 2021.
First to receive the grant will be the state of Florida, which has promoted girls flag football for more than ten years and is the home state of the Super Bowl champion, Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Product will include flag football uniforms, socks and accessories such as sports bras, all of which will be distributed to each participating state's governing interscholastic or athletic association at their discretion.
At present, only six states sanction high school flag football for girls (Alaska, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Nevada and New York), but financial support may help remove operational barriers so more states can introduce girls flag football programs.
In addition, Nike's Stronger Than One Series will launch a film focused on highlighting women and young girls who are blazing paths forward in football. Watch below:

"The expansion of girls flag football is essential to the growth of the game and preservation of the values it has contributed to society for decades," says Troy Vincent, NFL Executive Vice President of Football Operations. "Girls flag demonstrates that football is for all, and the greater the participation, the stronger the game, and the more young women can build the transferrable skills football provides for achieving success in life."
The Nike Flag Football jerseys are rooted in football DNA, and built for the proportions of young girls. Featuring a grille neckline and name plates on the back, the jersey is constructed of a woven performance material, while its under-arm mesh panels help vent excess heat and moisture. The waistband of the shorts is designed to fit with the jersey for "tuck-in" rules in flag football.
In addition to the grant initiative, Nike is evolving its 11-Online football training series to include a learning track specifically for flag football athletes.
It will feature how-to drills with comprehensive training instruction, including team-building and leadership development.
