After being promoted,Inspector Rosalind Mason arrives at what seems to be a typical murder scene only to discover her lover is the victim.
Rosalind has been promoted to Inspector, no small feat for a woman in the city of Carnage. Soon after her promotion, Rosalind's life is turned upside down when she discovers her lover has been murdered. She must hide her private life so she can remain on the investigation to bring this killer to justice.
Rosalind, along with her partner Jack discover the killer has been targeting women in a gay support group. Jack becomes suspicious of Rosalind's motivations and closes in on her secret just as she closes in on the killer.
Rosalind's career and everything she has worked for is at risk while begging the question "is everything as it seems?"
I hope to make films that inspire and influence people in different ways. Films that evoke emotion and challenge thought. I grew up watching Martin Scorsese's films-Taxi Driver is the film that made me want to be a filmmaker. I can't help but have mad love for the medium and its pioneers!
Although he has always been a fan of movies, Daniel didn't start pursuing a film career until his first year of university. Since then he has been involved in multiple projects in Canada and the United States. He fancies himself a director, writer, and actor, with a particular affinity for dark psychological thrillers. He loves his craft and only wants to entertain.
Creating films has always been a passion of mine, to evoke inspiration in life and create a new world for audiences to immerse themselves into. I have grown throughout the years as an avid film viewer starting with Hitchcock and Vincent Price, exploring the creativity in cinematography as it grew with me throughout the years. I hope to create films for the rest of my life.
The trailer was done well, should be an awesome film!
I rally liked it I thought everything was done really well and it was really cool I just don't know what the differance is between that and the 5 million others like that.
has potential and note the rap score in the background. Action scene is a bit stationary for my liking but clips are tough to produce I guess.
Not sure but may be a good film.
The story seems like it has been done and overdone.
Whoa.... that is scary as hell. All that blood!
Has this film already been shot?
Looks interesting. The trailer leaves you wanting to see more. Good work!
Thought there might be some kind of twist or hook coming, but instead it played out fairly predictably. Didn't pull me in.
Great suspenseful editing. Gotta say the English accent really took me out of the setting. Love the rap idea though.
Really liked this idea. I like theme of this. Needing to get to the bottom of it. Hope you succeed!
well put together trailer, good cinematography and editing, I'm just not too keen on the actual story - seems like it's been done before.
I like crime drama, but it is being done much better in the USA. There are some good things in this project - but it's more like a TV series than a feature film.
Intriguing. Would've liked to know more about the lead from the trailer.
Points for the part about the main character being a lesbian. But as previous comments have stated the idea isn't very original.
Well produced and paced. I think this will translate well into a big screen project. I'm not huge on the plot but I think that you guys can do a good movie.
Nice job but definitely nothing new here to hook me. I was okay with the music though.
Great job G and team! It looks awesome!
da da da da da, I'm lovin' it !
The idea is new, but the trailer seems slow.
Promising work! Looking forward to the finished project. Keep on truckin', folks!
This is a very intriguing trailer, looks totally professional. I would definitely watch this whole movie.
Nicely done! Well put together!
Some good ideas, and definitely some really neat transitions, but some of the colouring is inconsistent. Other than a few small moments, this didn't really stand out to me that much.
I think this has an interesting story, and real potential to be a great feature film.
Awesome Job guys! Looks great!
Very professional and great photography! Looking forward to seeing more.
Doug MacArthur is da bomb!
Interesting. I'd like to see more.
I enjoy crime dramas, I want to see more!
It's nice to see such good work out of Alberta.
I am really pleased to see this quality of work coming out of Lethbridge. The excitement surrounding this film is palpable, I encourage all my friends and family to experience the film.
Seems pretty solid, though the trailer felt a bit long in the tooth and lost my attention after a while.
Great trailer! Can't wait to see the film in its entirety.
I feel there is a struggle between the promise of your message and the impossibility of the plot. If being a gay rights activist is not mutually exclusive from being gay, wouldn't the serial killer just target gay women? The cinematography is very enjoyable though.
Feels at best, an episode of Criminal Minds.
The start of the trailer was pretty well done, too bad it breaks down after the half way point. The music chosen here doesn't work for the montage. I really wish someone in your team spoke up sooner. Instead I feel as though you'll alienate a lot of potential viewers.
Wow that was cool. One of my favourites! A well shot, original, and very intriguing trailer. I'd love to see this as a full film!
Really impressed by your social strategy and the all-around niceness of your team. Great work on your trailer and first mission!
I thought the story line was amazing! Can't wait to see the ending! I love crime shows and think this will be a thrilling movie!
Looks great! Just enough to draw you in and keep you wanting more!
Why are there so many movies about women getting brutally killed? Might appeal to the TV movie crowd who eats this stuff up.
I thought the beginning of the trailer seemed really professional. Some scenes seemed a little stressed with the acting like when the guy threw the other guy on the ground it felt a bit awkward. I thought the music felt really out of place. I was struggling to hear the characters over the music and thought the soundtrack could either be changed, dummed down a bit or used not at all. The change from slow piano to distracting dubstep sounding music was a surprise and kind of pulled my focus off the actual events in the trailer. The cutting of the scenes was good but I think there was too much of it, just flicking back and forth too fast. Other than that good job.
Looking forward to the full length!
Love it - welcome to the goddamn city of Carnage!
I'm excited to see the film go into production!!
Some of the moments felt a touch staged..but all and all, good trailer.
I wanna know what happens!! Make this movie !
I definitely want to see the film now.
It's great!!! It's got my vote!!
Great execution and cutting on this trailer! Loved the feel. The sound needed a little more attention though. Very interested to know more so the trailer definitely does it's job!
Not Super visually appealing and some of the camera work felt weak, Nothing made me thing WOW that was cool.
Nice work on visuals and sound. Well done.
Looking good! I look forward to when I can see the whole thing.
Excellent Trailer! I look forward to seeing the film in it's entirety.
So amazing. Can't wait too see this. Lethbridge!
This was a great trailer. I am looking forward to seeing the completed project.
Brilliant! Well done I'm proud of all of you! Bloody ace trailer!
I can't wait to watch the full feature!
I was really impressed by the cinematography. Great job!
great feel! I love the dark and gritty crime genre, great camera work, though I'd like to see something that really drives me to watch this film.
Interesting, would like to see more!
Well done! Really appreciate the unique narrative and a lesbian lead is refreshing.
This looks lame. And the music is confusing. Like they wanna be hard with rap or they want to be mysterious with clinky piano. make up your minds. and if you want to be cool get a better rapper, took me out of believing the whole thing.. and then what's with the guy drinking a beer by his bed... looks like he just had a rough day at work, now he's having a beer. what the hells wrong with that?
Can't wait to see the whole movie!
Looks really interesting, Hope you guys win. Would love to see the full film!
Fantastic! Its obvious the director and team put a lot of effort into this project. I cant wait to see the film!
Looked at the Face Book page for this concept, if you have not looked at it you should! It explains that this film will be interactive so as an audience member and FB fan you get to decide important parts to the story! Great concept, and great acting done in the trailer!
I was intrigued until the TERRIBLE rappper/dubstep stuff came on.
Looks good, I am curious to see where it would lead!
Love the concept!! Wonderful acting and can't wait for the real one!! Way to go Alberta talent!
Looks great! Nice to see a local film! Can't wait to see the whole film!
Its great to see John Bowers at work - he's an amazing and talented actor!
Appears to be a very well designed story....would love to see the full length film.
Why is this soo quiet?
Very intriguing and definitely piques my interest.
This looks amazing! I am glad to see that you are weaving in LGBT issues into the storyline in a serious fashion and not using it as a comedic sideline story that most film makers are taking now adays. Cant wait to see this in the theatres!
Some great shots, and an awesome storyline to go with it!!
Great job guys! Looking forward to seeing this film!!
Wonderful edgy trailer that makes me want to be sure to be one of the first to see it when it comes out, looking forward to it and hopefully many more projects by this team.
Intriguing. Lots of puzzle pieces to fit together. I want to see what happens!!!!
Something that I haven't seen in a movie as of yet! Looking forward to seeing this one!
Very interesting trailer, made me want to watch the movie right away! also very original story! can't wait until the movie comes out!
I really enjoyed this trailer. Great production, loved the music, something I would definitely see in theaters.
Really interesting concept. The fact that it seems to be a social commentary on how society today reacts to homosexuality is interesting. The COOLEST thing is that they tie it together with a crime drama! Can't wait to see how it turns out!
Had me thinking it would be good in the first 10 second but then nothing happened and then terrible music, editing and cinematography to boot.
You lost the two points since it's not in theaters already! Trailer definitely does the job. Looking forward to it!
In lethbridge right now! Great editing!
I can not wait to see this! Looks amazing!
Very cool concept and trailer... Excited to see more!

St Modwen agrees Edmonton Green sale
The long leasehold interest in the 495,000 sq ft Edmonton Green shopping centre in Enfield, north London, sold to an affiliate of Crosstree Real Estate Partners for £72 million representing a net initial yield of 6.6%. Covering 26 acres of the town centre, the sale includes an Asda and 109 other shops, a sports centre, medical centre, hotel, a local market and 754 residential units.
"We are delighted to have agreed this significant sale at a time when there are so few shopping centre transactions in the UK. We are particularly pleased to have achieved such a strong price for St Modwen by demonstrating clearly that Edmonton has a future as a vibrant town centre in this part of London" says GCW director David Gooch.
"Crosstree will be a great partner for Enfield Council and is well-placed to deliver on their aspirations for the future of the town. They clearly understand the opportunities available and have a plan to drive ambitious change" he adds.
GCW has worked as leasing agent on Edmonton Green for over 10 years and will continue in this role with Crosstree.

US large caps jumped 3.7 per cent in July on the back of 20-plus per cent earnings growth readings. Investors swept their trade concerns to the side and focused on corporate fundamentals. The July result more than doubled blue chip performance for the year, pushing the benchmark S&P 500 to 6.5 per cent.
The Russell 2000 gained 1.7 per cent last month, pushing the small cap index toward 10 per cent for the year. The index trailed its larger cap counterpart by 2 percentage points as investors waved off the tariff threat.
International equities picked up 2.5 per cent last month as global markets advanced. Investors are playing down the economic impact of tariffs for now. Year-to-date, developed market large caps are flat in dollar terms. Most markets are 4 per cent higher in term of local currency.
Emerging market equities reversed their tailspin and climbed 2.3 per cent in July. Despite the rebound, emerging market equities remain the worst performing major asset class this year, sagging more than 4 per cent. Most of the pain is being felt in Turkey and Argentina where markets are off dramatically.
Intermediate-term interest rates rose about 14 basis points in response to stronger economic data. The Barclay's Aggregate Bond Index closed out the month flat, as coupon income offset price declines. Global Bonds were flat as well.
Investors' increased risk appetite helped fuel a mini-rally in high yield bonds. Credit spreads, the yield premium lenders require to extend credit to lower quality borrowers, reversed course and narrowed.

First, I examine the effect of the Section 222(a) definition of "proprietary information" as compared with the Section 222(c) definition of "customer proprietary network information." (CPNI) My conclusion, based on some analogous provisions from HIPAA and GLBA, is that the Commission should be cautious about founding any additional regulatory requirements under this proceeding based on the language in 222(a).
Second, I examine the intersection of privacy and competition law, drawing on my previous writings in the area. New entry into online advertising, including by broadband providers, could be a new source of competition on privacy attributes. My recommendation to the Commission is to consider the effects of this potential competition on privacy and other non-price aspects of competition, along with price aspects of competition, as part of the overall assessment of how to govern the use of CPNI for broadband providers.
Third, I address priority uses of information that I believe should be permitted in the CPNI context. Although I do not seek to create a complete list of possible exceptions to the general CPNI rule of consumer opt-out, I do emphasize three areas where an opt-out is not generally appropriate – anti-fraud, cybersecurity, and research on network usage. I also analyze the role of de-identification and aggregate information under Section 222, suggesting strategies to preserve the utility of de-identified and aggregate information while protecting privacy. In this discussion, I do not take a position on whether a rules-based, principles-based, or other approach should be adopted by the Commission. Instead, I emphasize that important interests such as anti-fraud and cybersecurity should be taken into careful consideration in whatever approach the Commission pursues.

Lausanne-Sport is een Zwitserse sportclub uit Lausanne, een plaats in het Franstalige kanton Vaud. De club is vooral bekend vanwege zijn voetbalafdeling, maar is ook actief in atletiek, roeien en rolhockey. De eigenaar is Jim Ratcliffe met zijn Britse chemiebedrijf Ineos. De traditionele kleuren van de vereniging zijn blauw-wit.

Geschiedenis
De voetbalafdeling werd in 1896 opgericht als Montriond Lausanne en nam in 1920 de huidige naam aan. De club werd in 1913 voor het eerst kampioen en speelde heel de clubgeschiedenis op het hoogste niveau.

In het seizoen 1978/79 speelde Lausanne Sports in de tweede ronde van het Europa Cup III-toernooi tweemaal tegen Ajax, over twee wedstrijden wonnen de Amsterdammers met 5-0. Bij Lausanne speelden Burgener; Ryf, Gretler, Niggl, Parietti; Lei-Ravello, Cornioley, Favre; Künzli, Seiler, Diserens en reserve Guillaume. Trainer was Blasevic. Voor Ajax speelden Piet Schrijvers; Hans Erkens, Ruud Krol, Wim Meutstege, Jan Everse; Frank Arnesen, Dick Schoenaker, Sören Lerby; Tscheu La Ling, Ray Clarke, Simon Tahamata, en ook Geert Meijer. Trainer van Ajax was Cor Brom. Goals werden gescoord door Lerby; Erkens, Clarke (2) en Arnesen.

In 2002 degradeerde Lausanne-Sport naar de tweede klasse door een schuld van vier miljoen Zwitserse frank. Het gevolg was een faillissement en na 107 jaar hield de vereniging op te bestaan.

Op 13 juni 2003 werd opvolger Lausanne-Sport opgericht. De club ging van start in de vierde klasse. Het lukte twee keer op rij om te promoveren. In 2010 verloor Lausanne-Sport in de bekerfinale van landskampioen FC Basel (6-0) en plaatste zich voor het eerst sinds 2001 voor Europees voetbal. In Europa verbaasden de Zwitsers vriend en vijand door het grote Lokomotiv Moskou uit te schakelen in de play-offs van de UEFA Europa League. Hiermee plaatste de club zich als Zwitserse tweedeklasser voor de groepsfase van de Europa League.

In 2011 werd de club kampioen van de Challenge League en keerde zo terug naar het hoogste niveau. Drie jaar later volgde echter opnieuw degradatie naar de Challenge League. In het seizoen 2015/16 werd weer eens een kampioenschap behaald, waardoor het opnieuw naar de Super League steeg. Opnieuw hield de Franstalige club het maar twee seizoenen vol: het degradeerde in 2018 naar de Challenge League.

Op 13 november 2017 werd de vereniging overgenomen door Ineos, een Brits chemiebedrijf dat zich gevestigd heeft in Zwitserland. Het bedrijf van Jim Ratcliffe sprak de ambitie uit om zo snel mogelijk terug te keren in de Super League. Dat lukte in 2020. In hetzelfde jaar werd het nieuwe Stade de la Tuilière geopend dat plaats biedt aan 12.000 toeschouwers. Na twee seizoenen volgde toch weer degradatie.

NEED FOR SPEED (OF DEPLOYMENT)
Netsync is helping organizations focus on agility and automation to facilitate faster time to value by deploying critical cloud services.
Bjørn Bergqvist, Senior Product Marketing Manager
Netsync quickly added a new cloud service in 2020 when Milestone launched XProtect on Amazon Web Services (AWS). The video management software offers the flexibility to scale infrastructure resources on demand at an affordable operating expense instead of investing significant capital costs for on-premises infrastructure deployments.
Netsync has deep experience deploying cloud services for its diverse customer base. The Houston-based technology solutions consulting company helps public and private organizations implement complex IT projects to achieve exceptional outcomes. We talked to Netsync about its approach to IT project implementation and its growing involvement with cloud-based solutions.
Shawn Sellers, Netsync's Director of Vendor Management says the customer experience and long-term satisfaction are fundamental criteria for cloud-based services.
"Sustainable business models today revolve around providing services and creating customer experiences," says Sellers. "Modern resellers are consulting companies solving problems for customers on an ongoing basis. We're trying to think where our customers want to be in 5 or 10 years and to understand their desired outcomes. Long-term satisfaction means being able to address demands quickly and the ability to move quickly is linked directly to cloud."
John Geddie, Netsync's Cloud Product Specialist added that speed of deployment and the inability to move quickly dooms many deals. "In a traditional hardware space, after ordering servers, storage, and cameras, it takes 4 to 5 months to install, configure, and turn them on. With cloud services, we have an advantage because our deployment is simply faster than all the rest. When a customer wants to start using XProtect for example, I can get it up and running in an hour."
With cloud, we have an advantage because our deployment is simply faster…"
"Traditional IT partners now have the opportunity to add cloud capabilities to their skill set and solve customer problems faster than ever before. Take data backup for example. The capital cost to buy storage and set it up is two or three times the cost of storing it in a cloud solution. In just a few minutes, you can push your data from PCs, wireless networks, physical networks, and video cameras, to the cloud. The cloud will always be there, it will always be expandable, and the customer no longer has to worry about it."
Almost every partner takes pride in their deployment speed, even when deploying on premises. How much of a difference does the cloud make?
"More than you can image," says Geddie. "We were contacted by one of our customers, a large school district to help with remote learning. In high school technology programs, students work with high-end, highly graphical software that requires heavy video and memory resources. The pandemic forced students to start the school year from home, and these apps were going to be a challenge. Chromebooks and home laptops cannot support these highly graphical software clients, so the school district asked for our help in providing these students with the same educational experience, regardless of their location. By using AWS cloud and their AppStream service, we managed to get thousands of students to run these software clients on demand in just two weeks."
"This would have taken months to achieve with traditional hardware and is a great example of the speed of deployment that cloud offers." says Geddie. "This allows customers to get XProtect up and running in no time, no matter how spread out the installation is, saving both the partner and customer weeks and months of hardware procurement and set up."
Why AWS?
"AWS is the most commonly used cloud platform today. Like Milestone, almost every big software company that is available on cloud is available on AWS. Milestone is an important step towards branching out of traditional IT departments," says Geddie. "For example, video surveillance is normally not run by the CIO but by heads of security or operations of organizations. Bridging between the IT organization and the video surveillance and physical security world is a win-win situation both for the customer and for the partner."
Can you give me an example for such a win-win situation?
Warren Wilson, Netsync's Physical Security Practice Manager explains a recent customer engagement.
"I have a customer that has 900 servers and 22,000 cameras with only three people to manage them across several locations. The option for that customer to now centrally manage these servers centrally saves them a lot of money and makes the organization more agile when it comes to future operations."
Once we work with our customers on how to build their budgets, they generally see that the cloud is more affordable."
There are many good reasons to migrate to the cloud, but is the cloud the right choice for everyone or only for certain types of customers?
"The industry is just starting to understand the benefits of cloud services and how to move away from physical presence and migrate to cloud," says Sellers. "Resellers now have an opportunity to show customers that they can be more efficient by leveraging cloud solutions."
Geddie says it's important to understand a customer's cloud maturity and where the organization currently is on its journey to adopt cloud practices. "Smaller companies are typically more agile and tend to adopt new practices faster due to their size and structure.
He qualifies organizations into four categories to understand their cloud maturity:
Users that are just beginning, who might have an account with AWS but haven't implemented anything in production.
Basic users who run one virtual machine or a couple of services but don't really understand the breadth of operations that can be done.
Users that are stuck in the process, who have already done some things in the cloud but don't understand how to really take advantage of it.
Users that are 100% cloud native, who have completed their migration and feel comfortable in the cloud.
Some customers think there is uncertainty regarding the cost structure associated with cloud services. Is there any truth to this in your opinion?
"This is a point partners need to align on with customers," says Geddie. "At the end of the day, customers want to make sure the money they spend on products and services makes them more profitable or produces a better customer experience. We work with our customers on how to build their budgets and they generally see that the cloud is more affordable. Many times, our cloud-based solutions are 20% to 40% less expensive over 3 to 5 years compared to the traditional hardware alternative."
You mentioned that Netsync works with many school districts and public agencies, many of which only work with annual budgets. Does that contradict the subscription-based payment model associated with cloud services?
"Cloud services are basically a utility bill model; you pay for what you use," says Geddie. "The reality is that since the invention of electricity, people have been paying utility bills, even in school districts and public agencies. The concept that such customers can only buy on a capital improvement budget is just false. Just like schools pay the fuel bill for their school busses every month, they can pay their bill for cloud services. The partner can help them understand that."
Netsync is a Milestone Gold Partner and has been a certified Milestone partner since 2015. With headquarters in Houston, Texas, and offices across the United States, Netsync has extensive experience performing large-scale implementations and deploying complex IT solutions for enterprise, K-12/higher education, and SMB.

Oneness-Family School COVID-19 Updates | Learn More About Our Hybrid Program
Health & Safety: How We Protect Each Other at OFS
Each person in our school – students, parents, teachers, and staff members - is responsible for the safety of our community. In order to keep each other safe, and to allow the school to remain open during the pandemic, we need everyone to follow public health guidance consistently, on and off-campus. These guidelines are clearly stated in our school's Community Contract and summarized below:
In order for the Oneness-Family School community to remain as safe as possible, we must each commit to:
When home and off-campus, continue to wear masks, wash and disinfect hands frequently, and mind physical distancing guidelines;
Respect the integrity of self-screening guidelines for symptoms of illness and refrain from coming to campus when experiencing symptoms;
Comply with state self-quarantine rules regarding exposure to COVID-19 and recent travel overseas or to domestic hot zones.
Socializing safely with other families and students outside student pods; which means socializing outdoors, wearing a mask, and maintaining physical distance.
Oneness-Family School is committed to balancing the need to provide a safe school environment with students' developmental needs to socialize and inspire a love of learning. To that end, all interventions will be made in as natural a manner as possible with as much subtlety as we can so that the predominant climate of our school remains positive and stress-free.
Below you will find details of the changes we have made to our in-school health and safety procedures for the 2020-2021 school year.
All students returning for in-person learning will need to have a negative COVID-19 test in order to return to campus. Alternatively, families may choose to quarantine for 14 days and return to campus after that time. The school is working with a testing company that can administer testing on campus and will be offering testing after school breaks and prior to students and staff arriving on campus. Parents may choose an alternative site to have their child tested. Our next round of testing will be on January 4, 2021, for all students and staff returning to campus after Winter Break.
In the event of a positive test or suspected diagnosis of a student or employee, the School will report to the appropriate Montgomery County and Maryland State health officials according to current regulations and work with them to determine next steps. Student and employee health information relating to COVID-19 will be kept confidential. The School will follow and communicate any health directives for quarantining, testing, or campus closure.
Any person who tests positive for COVID-19 or who has been in contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19 is required to follow county and CDC guidelines for isolating and quarantining before returning to campus.
Sickness & Symptoms
All students attending in-person will have to have a completed health form and temperature check before arriving on campus each day.
Students exhibiting any symptoms of COVID-19, including fever or cough, are asked to remain at home until evaluated by a doctor, and/or they can show a negative test result.
Please note that all students must be fever-free for 72 hours without fever-reducing medication before returning.
As a general rule, if a student is not feeling well, they will be asked to stay at home.
All classrooms, floors, materials, and furniture are cleaned and disinfected every evening by a professional cleaning company.
Throughout the day, school "touch points" such as doorknobs, light switches, and other frequently touched areas will be cleaned and disinfected.
Teachers and students will wash their hands upon arrival and regularly throughout the morning.
There will be a designated bathroom for each student pod, and only one person will be allowed in the bathroom at a time.
Students will keep objects brought into the building, such as backpacks and school supplies, in individual bins in their classrooms.
Students and teachers will be required to wear masks at all times unless they are eating a snack in a designated space and with teacher permission.
Students should bring at least three masks each day to school.
If your child has not had much practice wearing a mask for longer periods of time, we suggest they practice wearing one for a couple of hours prior to the first day back on campus. This will help relieve some anxiety and make them more comfortable wearing a mask for class in the morning.
The school is using HEPA air filters, window units, and open windows (weather permitting) to keep air circulating in the building.
We ask that students dress in layers as we enter the colder winter months. This will enable us to keep our windows open more often and ensure optimal ventilation of classrooms.
Physical Distancing & Visitors
Students will be separated by 3-6 feet in all areas and throughout the school day. Our classrooms have been rearranged so that students may work independently while maintaining a safe distance from their classmates.
Parents and other visitors will need special permission to enter the school building. Only students, teachers, and administrators will be allowed on campus in order to keep the number of people down in the building.

MONROEVILLE (KDKA) — Oh, the guarantees of life, the swallows return to Capistrano, the buzzards to Hinkley, taxes come due April 15, salmon swim up stream, the ball drops in Times Square and Pennsylvania Turnpike tolls go up the first of January.
So why should this year be any different.
The Turnpike says it needs the money to pay its $450 million payment to PennDOT and for work on the turnpike.
"We're going to be reinvesting about $552 million into our system. It is very expensive to operate and maintain and improve an aging toll road system, especially when you're talking about 200 million vehicles a year that are driving on that system," says Defabo.
So let's say you're commuting from Irwin to Monroeville, your cash trip will go from $2.10 now to $2.30 when the tolls going into effect on Sunday. For drivers using EZ Pass, that trip will go from $1.30 to $1.40.
A cross-state trip to Philly from Pittsburgh will now cost you $39.30 on Sunday or about $2.30 more if you pay cash, while EZ Pass drivers will pay $27.90, which amounts to about $1.60 more.
Truckers making the cross-state run will pay five to seven dollars more.
DeFabo says despite beliefs that higher tolls drive traffic off the Turnpike that has never been the case when the numbers are tallied. In fact, turnpike use continues to go up.

Jury convicts former English High dean of shooting student
By Laura Crimaldi Globe Staff,May 31, 2018, 2:18 p.m.
Shaun Harrison in court.Aram Boghosian for The Boston Globe
Shaun O. Harrison, the former English High School dean known in Boston as an antiviolence activist, was convicted Thursday of shooting a 17-year-old student he had enlisted to sell marijuana for him.
The jury found Harrison, 58, guilty of all 10 counts brought against him a day after deliberations commenced in Suffolk Superior Court. He is scheduled to be sentenced Friday morning before Superior Court Judge Christopher Muse.
After the verdicts were read, Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley said Harrison had presented himself as a "man of God" and a youth mentor, but instead preyed upon the victim, Luis Rodriguez, who was a high school sophomore when he was shot in Roxbury on March 3, 2015.
"What we were able to uncover here is that Shaun Harrison was really a fraud," Conley said. "He was living a lie."
During the two-week trial, prosecutors portrayed Harrison, who went by the nickname "Rev," short for reverend, as a sinister manipulator who used his authority to recruit Rodriguez to sell marijuana for him.
Prosecutors alleged Harrison shot Rodriguez because he feared officials would learn the student was selling marijuana at the Jamaica Plain school. Harrison also believed Rodriguez, now 20, was withholding money and not generating enough sales, prosecutors said.
"He didn't want to give up the sort of privileged lifestyle that he had become accustomed to and he was willing to kill to preserve that," Conley said.
Harrison looked straight ahead as the verdicts were read, while his daughter, Lishaunda, stormed out of the courtroom. He faces up to 20 years in prison on the most serious charge, armed assault with intent to murder. The jury also convicted him of aggravated assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon, and several offenses related to illegal possession of firearms, ammunition, and marijuana.
Boston Police Commissioner William B. Evans praised the investigators, prosecutors, and jury.
"It's especially disappointing that a person who was trusted by the community to be a mentor to our youth betrayed that trust in such a drastic way, so I hope this decision brings some peace of mind to all those who may have been affected by Harrison's actions," Evans said in a statement.
Rodriguez, who was not in the courtroom when the verdicts were read, testified for the prosecution, telling jurors he met Harrison in early 2015.
Harrison was hired at English High to be the dean of academies and was responsible for keeping order in hallways and the cafeteria, mentoring troubled students, and teaching anger management, according to court testimony.
A Boston Public Schools spokesman declined to comment Thursday.
Harrison's sister, Kathleen, said she didn't believe the prosecution's witnesses and complained that her brother's good works weren't mentioned.
"They messed up my . . . brother's reputation," she said. "They all lie."
Rodriguez, the shooting victim, told jurors he came from a dysfunctional family. His mother went to jail when he was 4 years old, he said, and he went to school while high on marijuana.
The teenager said he bonded with Harrison during an encounter in the school cafeteria. Rodriguez said he was high on marijuana during that meeting, and Harrison laughed and told him he had smoked marijuana the night before.
On another occasion, he said, Harrison offered to provide him with marijuana to sell, on the condition that Rodriguez would give him the proceeds. Rodriguez said he agreed and detailed three occasions when Harrison gave him marijuana to sell.
Up until the shooting, Rodriguez said he believed he was on good terms with Harrison, who hosted him at his Roxbury apartment, where they smoked marijuana and the dean let him handle a firearm.
On the day of the shooting, prosecutors said Rodriguez's longtime friend attacked him at school at Harrison's direction.
Later that day, Rodriguez said, he met Harrison at a Sunoco station in Roxbury. Harrison had told him he would bring him marijuana and some of the drug molly, Rodriguez said, and then take him to a spot to meet women.
When they reached Magazine Street, prosecutors allege Harrison fired a .380 handgun at Rodriguez and then fled. Rodriguez said he was rescued by occupants of an oncoming car, who called 911.
The bullet entered Rodriguez's head just under his right ear, narrowly missing his carotid artery, breaking his jawbone, and causing nerve damage and hearing loss.
Defense attorney Bruce Carroll acknowledged Harrison was guilty of some of the firearms and ammunition offenses. When police searched Harrison's home after Rodriguez was shot, they found a shotgun and rifle that Harrison had inherited from his parents but didn't have a license to carry, Carroll said.
But he disputed allegations that Harrison shot Rodriguez, telling the jury that the teenager told hospital staff that he had been shot by a person who bought marijuana from him. He repeatedly said Rodriguez was conscious and talking in the immediate aftermath of the shooting but didn't disclose he had been shot by Harrison.
Suffolk Assistant District Attorney David Bradley said Rodriguez's chief concern after being shot was his survival. He said he repeatedly asked the same question as blood poured from his head: Am I going to die?

Q: dwv DICOM viewer error: "Cannot append a slice with different number of columns" I am trying to build a dicom viewer using dwv js
https://github.com/ivmartel/dwv
integrating with Swiper JS slider http://idangero.us/swiper/api/#methods
Functions:
When user clicks on a thumbnail then it loads a new array or URLs.
dicom.init({
    "containerDivId": container_id,
    "fitToWindow": true,
    "gui": ["tool"],
    "tools": ['Scroll', 'ZoomAndPan'],
    "isMobile": true,
});

var dicom_thumbnail_swiper = new Swiper ('.swiper-container', {
  direction: 'vertical',
  mousewheel: true,
  slidesPerView: 4,
  centeredSlides: true,
  spaceBetween: 2,
  slideToClickedSlide: true,
  // Navigation arrows
  navigation: {
    nextEl: '.dicom-button-next',
    prevEl: '.dicom-button-prev',
  }
});

dicom_thumbnail_swiper.on('slideChange', function(event) {
var active_index = dicom_thumbnail_swiper.activeIndex;

if(active_index !== undefined && active_index !== null) {
  // Slide is changed
  dicom.loadURLs(data[active_index].files);
}
});

Issue:
However I keep getting this error Cannot append a slice with different number of columns or Cannot append a slice with different SeriesInstanceUID especially when the current array of URLs of dcm files have not finished loading ( inspecting from Google Chrome dev tool network ) before switching to a new thumbnail.
I have tried many ways including but none is working.. is it the problem with my code or the DCM files????
Methods I have tried:
Fake the ctrl-x to cancel image loading cause in source code it shows that it cancels the async loading when user press ctrl + x
var e = new Event("keydown");
e.keyCode = 88;
e.which = e.keyCode;
e.altKey = false;
e.ctrlKey = true;
e.shiftKey = false;
e.metaKey = false;
window.dispatchEvent(e);

Clear the canvas
dicom.getImageLayer().clear();

I've tried to disable the Swiper while dicom viewer are loading urls but I still get same error sometimes
dicom.addEventListener('load-start', function(){
  console.log('load start');
  dicom_thumbnail_swiper.allowSlideNext = false;
  dicom_thumbnail_swiper.allowSlidePrev = false;
  dicom_thumbnail_swiper.detachEvents()
});
dicom.addEventListener('load-end', function(){
  console.log('load end');
  dicom_thumbnail_swiper.allowSlideNext = true;
  dicom_thumbnail_swiper.allowSlidePrev = true;
});

Here is the project URL
http://mripro.plot.net.au/#/case
GitHub ticket
https://github.com/ivmartel/dwv/issues/433

A: I added an abortLoad method to the application class to handle the switch between cases. It is available from version 0.22.1.
In your case, you must update your slideChange event handler to something like:
dicom_thumbnail_swiper.on('slideChange', function(event) {
    var active_index = dicom_thumbnail_swiper.activeIndex;

    if(active_index !== undefined && active_index !== null) {

        // reset app
        dicom.abortLoad();
        dicom.reset();

        // Slide is changed
        dicom.loadURLs(data[active_index].files);
    }
});

Search For "tripura tribal area autonomous district council"
Executive committee of Tripura Tribal Area Autonomous District Cou
Updated : 8 months, 1 week ago IST
Agartala (Tripura) [India], May 13 (ANI): The incumbent executive committee of Tripura Tribal Area Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) shall be dissolved on May 17 as the polls could not be held due to coronavirus outbreak, Law and Parliamentary Affairs Ratan Lal Nath said.


Apples and cinnamon were made for each other. Period. So, this Fireball Cider Cocktail is simply a match made in heaven since it is the sweet combination of apple cider with the warmth of the Fireball whiskey. It might as well become the official drink of fall.
Apple cider is one of those drinks that always instill memories in me. From my kindergarten field trip to a classmate's farm where their grandparents made fresh cider. Fresh cider is sort of like milk straight from the cow, nothing better. However, you can have too much apple cider and we learned that fact in kindergarten.
Obvious by the name, this cocktail is made out of apple cider and Fireball Whiskey. However, I like my cocktails to also have a little fizz in them too. I add a splash of ginger ale to the cocktails, just like I did for the Fireball Apple Cherry Bombs. Don't like fizz or don't do ginger ale, go ahead and just drink the apple cider and Fireball.
The great thing about this cocktail is you could make a big pitcher of apple cider and ginger ale for a great apple cider punch. Then you can just add the Fireball to your glass of cider punch. The kids get a fun fall mocktail then too.
For extra fun, I added a cinnamon and sugar rim to the cocktail glasses to just make the glass a bit fancier. The sweetness also added to the fireball cocktail cider.
Just like apples and cinnamon are flavor partners so are Fireball Whiskey and Apple cider in this Fireball Cider Cocktail.
Take a cocktail glass, dip the rim in a water on a small plate. Then dip into cinnamon and sugar poured onto a small plate. Spin glass to cover completely.
Fill cinnamon and sugar rimmed glass with ice.
Pour Fireball Whiskey over top of the ice.
Add fresh apple cider over the Fireball.
Finish with a splash of ginger ale. Stir and enjoy!

Question: "How should parents who are divorcing/separating deal with child custody issues?"
Answer: No matter what the reason for divorce, be it biblical or otherwise, the hardships, heartache, and repercussions of a married couple separating are exponentially more complicated when child custody matters are a factor. While the Bible is clear that God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16), God still recognizes that divorces may occur since marriages involve two sinful human beings. He even laid down laws in order to protect the rights of divorcées (Deuteronomy 24:1–4). However, the Bible provides no clear law on how to deal with the issue of children trapped between divorcing parents. This is likely because, as Jesus says in Matthew 19:8, divorce was never meant to be.
The divorce process will be fraught with many negative emotions—anger, betrayal, bitterness, a desire for revenge, and a host of damaging judgments upon oneself and the spouse. But when the couple has children and custody arrangements to consider, parents must set aside their negativity toward one another and put their children's needs first. The Bible says that children are God's gifts and He cares about how they are raised (Psalm 127:3; 34:11; Proverbs 23:13–14). Even after a couple divorces and are no longer married, they are still the parents of their children and must treat parenthood, the care of God's gifts, with the highest possible respect and priority.
In the United States, child custody laws differ, but, generally speaking, the courts will grant custody based on the best interests of the children involved. The judge will take into account several factors including the children's ages; parental preferences; willingness to support and further a relationship with the other parent; ability to provide a safe, stable, and loving living environment; the children's school locations; and perhaps the children's wishes if they are old enough to communicate their requests. The judge will also take into consideration any confirmed evidence (or false allegations) of domestic violence, abuse, or neglect by either parent.
Two types of child custody may be granted during a divorce—legal and physical—and both can be either sole or joint. The legal custodian is given authority to make vital decisions about raising the children, such as deciding what schools they attend, what extracurricular activities they participate in, and their religious upbringing. The physical custodian is the one with whom the children will live.
When choosing who is responsible for which decisions and scheduling parenting time or visitation rights, set aside personal bias and think of what's best for the children. If physical or emotional abuse is not an issue, the other parent will still have legal rights to reasonable access to the children post-divorce. Divorced parents must encourage their kids' relationship with the other parent no matter how much they might harbor personal hurt from the divorce. Spending quality time with both parents will ultimately benefit the children's emotional stability and ability to cope with the loss and grief they are experiencing.
Reconciliation and forgiveness should mark a Christian's life (Luke 11:4; Ephesians 4:32), even in the case of divorce. Do not pit children against the other parent or instill anger within them (Ephesians 6:4). While a divorced couple may need to work through their own emotional tumults, they must still exhibit godly behavior for the sake of their children and their own faith (Deuteronomy 6:6–7). When children see their divorced parents treating one another in a godly manner, they have an opportunity to experience God's peace through hard times (Hebrews 12:14).
Divorce is a strenuous and cruel life challenge and is never a part of God's original plan. When children are caught in the middle, the agony will undoubtedly multiply. Yet Christian parents are called to persevere through these trials (James 1:12); God can make beauty from ashes (Isaiah 61:3). Divorced parents would do well to pray regularly for their children, for their children's relationship with the other parent, and for their own personal healing (Philippians 1:6; 2 Thessalonians 3:3; 3 John 1:4).

Amazing 1/5th scale P-51D Mustang by Mr. David Glen
Mustang P-51 Scratchbuilding
Found during my recent visit to RAF Cosford was this new, massive P-51D model which is now adorning the entrance hall to the museum and which I thought is worth sharing. This model was built and donated by Mr David Glen as a tribute to the US aircrew who gave their lives in two world wars.
Scratchbuilt to 1/5 scale, it is an accurate replica built using original production drawings. The attention to detail is self-evident. From start to finish, the model took David ten years to accomplish.
Previously, David Glen had also built a similarly scaled Spitfire Mk. I which is on display at the RAF Museum in Hendon.

I remember seeing pictures of this model earlier this summer and was stunned by the attention to detail. To my eye, the only thing that gives it away as a model is that the tires are truly round and don't depict the weight of the aircraft. That is in no way meant as criticism. Heck, if I could make a tire that perfect I wouldn't want to put a flat spot on the bottom of it either. Supreme craftsmanship in every sense of the word.

This is incredible! There's another guy out there who did a Mustang and a Corsair and is now working on a B-17. (I think these were 1/16 scale, but all metal as well.) He actually built everything, even under the skin. Mr. Glen has probably done the same. This actually is the real deal! (Just 1/5 the size!)
There is a gentleman by the name of Pierre Scerri on YouTube who has built a 1/4 scale Ferrari 312P that actually works. The motor runs and sends power to the gearbox which also operates as the original does. I wonder if Mr. Glen went that far? (It would be cool to hear it run if he did!)
This goes far beyond mere model making. These people are making miniature replicas!

But that is how I feel about this Masterpiece.
Here's a link to the Spitfire Martin alluded to:

What would such a creation be worth?
I think it would hinge on exactly how bad you wanted it. My best guess (IF the modeler would sell it in the first place) would be in the mid-4 figures range.

Like everyone else I am stunned into silence by this ,what I can understand is how a craftsman metalworker can fabricate the metal parts even the complex shapes like the inside of the wheelwell cover and the gun barrel exit points but what about the other stuff like plastic components inside the cockpit ,the clocks and gauges, the information plaques and the canopy/windscreen how do you do that ? Amazing.
Rob Pollock said on November 25, 2014
A real testament to the disciplines of model engineering. Every time I've seen it, it's like looking at it for the first time. And probably better this time too as the dull weather on the day actually made for better photos in this case.

Astounding….. Can't help wonder why not just go 1:1 and build himself a real one, would probably be about the same ammount of work! There would be the problem of digging up a Packard Merlin somewhere I guess. I have seen a 1/5 Spitfire also, same amazing engineering, the same guy perhaps? I think the Spitfire is featured on "The Spitfire Site" as I recall.

Major Expansion Coming for Durham's American Tobacco Campus

American Tobacco Campus (ATC) is getting supersized as a new partnership is planning to greatly expand development around the historic district.
Capitol Broadcasting Co. (CBC), which owns the campus, WRAL-TV, and WRAL TechWire, has formed a joint venture with Hines, an international real estate firm, and USAA Real Estate to develop a 700,000-square-foot mixed-use project on 11 acres in downtown Durham as an extension to the current campus.
Previously occupied by University Ford, the property sits adjacent to the American Tobacco Historic District. The first phase of the development is set to increase the size of the district by "60 percent." The current campus, along with other offices known as the Diamond View Buildings, covers more than 1 million square feet of Class A office space.

"By the numbers, it's the biggest single project executed at one time in downtown Durham," said Michael Goodmon, CBC's senior vice president of real estate, in an interview. "It beats the first phase of American Tobacco, which at the time was huge."
Goodmon added that the partners had been working "really hard for a very long time to pull this together." "We kind of have the dream team," he said.
No price tag was disclosed for the development.
The expansion of the ATC is the latest in a series of developments that have helped reshape Downtown Durham. The renaissance began with the construction of the Durham Bulls Athletic Park by the City of Durham in 1995 followed shortly thereafter by the development of the office building known as Diamond View I, the CBC purchase and renovation of the ATC, the city's construction of the Durham Performing Arts Center which opened in 2008 and many other investments made in the immediate area.
"This is not a suburban shopping opportunity. This is not that. What this is, is trying to do an infilled project in the midst of a downtown and maintain the character that downtown Durham is known for," Goodmon told WRAL-TV.

The ATC expansion project is divided into two phases. The first includes developing 313,000 square feet of leasable space in two Hines T3 creative office buildings and building 350 multifamily units into a 14-story high-rise. The Hines T3 buildings will stand 6 stories and 7 stories with the first floor of each set aside for retail, according to Mark Stanford of CBC.
RARE TIMBER CONSTRUCTION
It will also be a work of innovation.
The Hines T3 creative office buildings, which stands for Timber, Transit and Technology, utilize all-timber construction to create a "vintage aesthetic and warehouse environment" with the amenities of new construction.
Goodmon said it will be the first of their kind in the market and join only a handful of markets in the country using this innovation.
Construction is expected to begin in late 2021 or early 2022.
"One big thing on my list is families. Families is a group that historically downtown Durham hasn't been real sticky for," Goodmon said. "But if you add the amenity base we're adding here and look broader across American Tobacco, all of a sudden you have an urban environment that's really inviting to families."
The new construction will carefully fit with the historic look of the original American Tobacco campus, said Hines Senior Managing Director Kurt Hartman.
By way of comparison in scale, the nearby Durham Innovation District covers 15 acres with two major buildings providing 350,000 square feet of space.

Alongside a central plaza and pedestrian alleyways, there's also 90,000 square feet of retail space reserved for a possible movie theater/draft house, grocery, other amenity shops and restaurants.
A LONG-TIME VISION
CBC bought the 11 acres for the expansion in 2016. There has always been a long-term vision for the site, Goodmon said.
"We signed on from day one. When we started working in downtown Durham, this was always about developing a community and the revitalization of a downtown," he said. "This is taking it to another level."
Not even a pandemic was going to get in the way of plans, he added. "People crave interaction; we crave being a part of a community, and you can't do that virtually. At the end of the day, the most competitive companies in the world are going to be the places that will drive the most competitive talent, and that means you've got to develop those places."
"It's at the gateway to downtown Durham," noted Hines director Paul Zarian. "We have the opportunity to create something special and learn from this COVID-19 experience."
PRAISE FOR PROJECT
"The folks at ATC are transforming an under-used corner of Durham's urban core into a vibrant new downtown destination," said Mayor Steve Schewel.
Geoff Durham, CEO of the Durham Chamber of Commerce, also welcomed the news. "The timing for such an ambitious project comes at an essential time for the Durham market," he said. "Without adequate space for our businesses to grow, we risk losing these innovations to other markets."

In order to bring maximum glory to God, the river church community is committed to knowing Christ and making Him known to every man, woman, and child in Chaska, MN and to the regions beyond.
Authentic Community – we will go deeper and build relationships to encourage one another, teach and admonish one another, and spur one another on.
Intentional Discipleship – we will take responsibility not only for ourselves, but also for discipling one another, so that we all know Christ.
Kingdom Praying – we will pray for God's Kingdom to come and His will to be done in the River, in this community and in this world as it is in Heaven.
Missional Living – we will live our lives as if we are on a mission with God, sent as ambassadors for Christ and placed where we are at with the ministry of reconciliation to this community and to this world.
I am moving at the end of March and May have found a place in Chaska. I will know more this coming Tuesday. I am 58 years old and have been a Christian Born Again Fundamentalists since 1984. I now live in NE Minneapolis and have been for the last two years.
Part of my move is to find a Bible Preaching Spirit Filled Church that I can call home.
It's hard to go on the Internet and find out the answers to questions I find to be vital in a Church, because it appears most of the Churches listed do not give their bylaws and any affiliation to any denomination. Is there someone that can help me with these questions via email?
God Bless your Sunday hope to hear from someone soon!
Yes. If you email Pastor Nathan at nathanphillipsriver@gmail.com he can help answer any questions you have.

JXD has a habit of making handheld gaming consoles that run Google Android software. They also tend to look like knockoffs of other popular products.
The JXD S5110, for instance, looks a lot like a Sony PlayStation Portable. And the JXD S5100 Deluxe Gaming Tablet looks like a Nintendo 3DS… with a single screen.
You can pick up the JXD S5100 from DealExtreme for $106. It's also available in black.
The handheld device has a 1 GHz Amlogic M3 ARM Cortex-A9 processor, a 5 inch, 800 x 480 pixel capacitive touchscreen display, 512MB of RAM, and 4GB of storage space.
It features 802.11n WiFi, a USB port, HDMI port, headphone jack, and front-facing camera.
The tablet also has a series of buttons and directional pads around the sides of the screen for gaming. It includes software for playing Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Gameboy Advance, and other games.
Most games developed for Android are meant to be used with a touchscreen, and the JXD S5100 has support for 5-point multitouch. But if you're using an emulator to play classic console games, those buttons could come in handy. Some newer Android games can also be used with game controllers, and the JXS S5100 essentially has one built in.
Out of the box, the gaming tablet runs Android 2.3, but an Android 4.0 update is on the way.
The JXD S5100 measures 7.4″ x 3.6″ x 0.6″.

Circular economy summit with PACE
Averda hosts circular economy summit with PACE at the World Economic Forum
Davos: Averda hosted a lunch summit together with the Platform for Accelerating the Circular Economy ("PACE"), at the World Economic Forum in Davos last week. The purpose of the summit was to explore ways of building a circular economy in the world's developing nations.
PACE is a global public-private collaboration platform for global leaders and their organisations to accelerate the transition to a circular economy. It was initiated by leaders in the World Economic Forum and is currently hosted by the World Resources Institute. PACE provides leaders with the connections, learning, and opportunities to pilot and rapidly scale best practices that drive the transition to a circular economy.
The lunch brought together leaders from the public and private sectors for a roundtable discussion to identify practical, meaningful steps which can be taken by countries in the emerging world facing the unique challenge of responding to climate change and pollution against a backdrop of rapid economic transformation.
Averda were delighted to hear thoughtful and constructive contributions from the high profile attendees which included multinational CEOs, government ministers and heads of national and international NGOs. Malek Sukkar, CEO of Averda, spoke about the importance of introducing laws and regulations around sustainable waste management and finding new ways of encouraging international investment in waste infrastructure. Alongside Malek, David McGinty, Global Director of PACE addressed the delegates as well as Martin Stuchtey, Co-founder & Managing Partner of Systemiq.
The following topics were discussed;
The main barriers to an emerging world circular economy:
The need for effective public and private collaboration
Government-level regulation for the correct disposal and recycling of waste
Consumer desire / willingness to change behaviours around use and re-use of materials
The progress of existing circular economy initiatives:
The informal economy
Youth movements
Legislative awareness
New ways of supporting a circular economy in the emerging world:
It was agreed that Averda will head a partnership with some of the organisations in the room to create a demonstration project which showcases the benefits of adopting circularity in waste management. Further details including project location will be announced in due course.
Malek Sukkar, CEO of Averda commented
"If we keep doing what we have always done we will continue to get what we have today; a situation in the emerging world in which waste is piling up and becoming a significant health and environmental crisis. It is time for change. Rather than call on others for a solution, we have decided to take action by building our own circular waste project in an emerging market. We look forward to working with PACE and the other partners at our summit to move this forward in the near term."
David McGinty, Director of Pace:
"We were delighted to co-host yesterday's lunch summit with Averda and were strongly encouraged by the desire of all participants to take action. There is a huge opportunity in the emerging world to leapfrog the mistakes made by the West and adopt a fully circular sustainable economy in which the use of virgin materials is minimised and valuable resources are reused to the full. We are looking forward to working with Averda and our other partners to move forward."
Martin Stuchtey, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of SYSTEMIQ:
"Achieving a circular economy requires a rewiring of today's industrial economy. Especially, producers must maintain ownership over their life-cycle, consider the post-use phase as part of their value chain and help build the recovery systems we currently so conspicuously lack. These full-cycle brands would provide funding, circular product designs and business models that add up to a fully circular economy. In our initiatives at SYSTEMIQ we are developing test cases for such a circular system, all the way down to the beaches of Indonesia. What we find is that building zero-waste systems requires substantial operational knowhow and the ability to bring together value chain actors in new ways. This is what AVERDA and PACE respectively contribute in their own distinctive fashion."


Despite an absence at E3 2012, Ubisoft have confirmed that they still plan to develop Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Online for Wii U.
With work prioritised on the PC version of the free-to-play title, it will arrive Speaking with IGN, Key said the console version of the title will arrive after the PC version has launched.
"Ghost Recon Online is being developed for the PC first. That was always the plan," Tony Key, SVP of Sales and Marketing at Ubisoft, explained to IGN.
"The team is taking a little bit longer than they thought they would to get Ghost Recon Online to the level and quality that they want and that definitely has had an impact on how much time they're able to spend on the Wii U version because we want to make sure we get it right.
"If we start working on the Wii U too soon, we might end up wasting a lot of resources because the PC is a lot easier to test and learn with. On the PC, we can test and learn with that and apply all the best benefits we learn onto the Wii U version to make sure that it's a great Wii U game.

Regarding Bear Mountain, Connecticut.
Mason Owen Travis built a stacked-stone pyramidal tower near the actual, higher summit, in 1885 and placed the stone marker. Over the years, the tower deteriorated and began to collapse. After attempts at restoration the eastern corner disintegrated in 1978 and much of the tower collapsed, leaving the plaque in the ruins.
The marker states this is the highest point in Connecticut. Bear Mountain is the highest summit in Connecticut, although it is 2,323 feet tall. The highest point in the state, however, is located on the south slope of Mount Frissell 1.3 miles to the northwest at 2,379 feet. The summit of Mount Frissell is in Massachusetts.

The morning of August 19th, 86 year old Beulah Hunter had a stroke, and paramedics quickly rushed her to St. Mary's hospital.
Doctors found a blood clot in a vessel leading to the left side of her brain, stopping blood flow.
Dr Stella Kahn said, "It was decided that it would be best to try and put a catheter right next to the clot."
Normally, doctors inject a substance into the blood with an IV, which flows to the clot, breaking it up, but in this case, it would take more than that.
They ran a catheter from her groin area all the way up through blood vessels into her brain, dispersing a solution directly on the clot, dissolving it completely.

Zeiss Description
The Powerful All-Rounder
This moderate wide-angle focal length is one of the most popular lenses for rangefinder photography. The Biogon T* 2/35 ZM is the fastest lens in the Biogon family. It offers outstanding performance, distortion-free images and the fast f/2 aperture permits handheld photography under difficult lighting conditions. When stopped down, the lens accurately captures the smallest details, yielding images with very good contrast and 'sparkle'. Combined with a digital rangefinder camera with a 1.3 crop factor, the lens has an effective focal length of 46 mm, similar to the standard 50 mm lens for film-based cameras. The Biogon T* 2/35 ZM is a favorite of photojournalists and an all around outstanding performer for almost any application.
Important Specifications
M8 equivalent 46 mm
Aperture range 2 - 22 (1/3 steps)
Aperture blades 10

No. of elements/groups 9/6
Angular field, diag./horiz./vert. 63/54/38 °
Filter M 43 x 0.75
Dimensions (with caps) ø 52 mm, length 68 mm
The following graphs were gleaned from the Zeiss-provided datasheet (PDF) for this lens:
A full review of the Zeiss Biogon T* 2/35 ZM lens, including specifications, performance charts, overview, sharpness and vignetting tests as well as sample images and links for further research.
The Biogon T* 2/35 ZM is indeed a great, all-around kind of lens. A bit wider than a 50mm for more environmental portraits or capturing just a little more of the scene without being considered a true wide angle. Many prefer this focal length over a 50mm for that reason. On a camera such as the M8, with its 1.33x crop factor - makes the 35mm focal length a suitable focal length for approximating a "standard 50mm" as it's effectively a 46mm. The rather fast maximum aperture of f/2 is quite usable in dim situations and allows for a nice separation of your subject from the background. The 35mm focal length allows a larger set of framelines in the viewfinder while still allowing for plenty of room around them, for anticipating action or aiding in framing.
Consider reading about all the things they have in common in our Zeiss ZM Lenses overview.
Like the other ZM lenses, the Biogon is well-built and solid-feeling. The materials and craftsmanship are both of a high-order. The aperture ring has positive, somewhat firm detents from f/2 to f/22 in third-stops. This differs from the Leica standard of half-stops, so it's something to keep in mind if you have a mixed bag. It's useful especially if you shoot slide film but also with the M9 if you're used to dialing in exposure compensation - which is also in third-stops. The focus ring is smooth and well-damped, but not as much as Leica lenses.
The lens is perhaps not quite as sharp wide open as some of the other ZM lenses (for example, the Planar T* 2/50 ZM) but it's still quite sharp. Stopping down even a little brings it right up to par. By f/4 the lens is at its optimum and quite sharp across most of the frame. Stopping down beyond f/4 increases depth of field and further sharpens the borders and corners slightly. At its peak, while sharp - the lens doesn't quite reach the resolution of a lens like the Biogon T* 2,8/25 ZM. Rather, it's a more "gentle" or slightly classic rendering which makes it a great "people lens." That is, It's sharp - but not in your face. One aspect of the lens, somewhat typical of Zeiss lenses in general - is the "3D" look that some images take on. The in- to out-of-focus transition and bokeh of the Zeiss lenses, along with sharp definition of subjects can, under the right circumstances - give a certain pop.
The bokeh is very typical of Zeiss lenses, and differs from more "Japanese style bokeh" in that there's still some definition to out-of-focus objects rather than washing them away. Part of this is due to the fact that this focal length and maximum aperture doesn't afford such a thin depth of field of either longer or faster lenses but also lens design. Therefore, Biogon lenses share a similar look, as do other Zeiss designs.
Contrast on average is high, but slightly subdued as compared to some other ZM lenses. Wide open, the lens has a bit lower contrast which improves at f/2.8 and by f/4 reaches its peak - where it remains stopped down further. Colors are lively and saturated and typically Zeiss - which really pop, especially blues. Distortion is practically non-existent and one of the hallmarks of this lens. There is a fair amount of vignetting from wide open to about f/4 and clears up by f/5.6.
When shot at or near wide open, there can be some chromatic aberrations present in the outer areas under the most extreme contre-jour shooting - but it is very well controlled and stopping down just a little completely eliminates it. Even when shot with the sun directly in the frame, flare is essentially non-existent and instead can produce lovely sunstars (when stopped down). Use of the hood might even be considered optional - though it's never a bad idea to use one and is recommended.
Many point out that for the specifications - a 35mm f/2 lens - that the Biogon is on the large side. The Leica Summicron 35mm f/2 lenses, by comparison - are visibly smaller, especially newer versions. This stems from the Biogon design and general principles at Zeiss. Zeiss prefers to highly correct their lenses, but without giving as much thought to compactness as say, Leica. This is typically done with higher refractive index glass and aspherical elements - the latter of which you won't find in a single ZM lens.
The filter size is 43mm, which differs from the more common 46mm size of many other ZMs. Not a deal-breaker by any means, but something to consider if you're looking to share filters, especially UV/IR filters with other lenses. One great solution is a 43-46mm step ring and standardizing on 46mm filters. This way, you can use the filters on most of the ZMs without consideration and throw on the step ring for use with the Biogon T* 2/35 or Planar T* 2/50 ZMs as needed. It's worth noting that the Leica 43mm UV/IR filter is of a different thread pitch and will not work properly - though it can be screwed in to the point of binding a tiny bit and it'll hold just fine (do not exceed this point however).
Coding for Digital Ms
This lens is typically given the 6-bit code of the Leica Summicron-M 35mm f/2 "pre-ASPH" (11310/11311) - which works well on both the M8 and M9 bodies. The code for this is 000110 and can be either marked with a template and a Sharpie marker or machined into the flange and properly painted for a more permanent solution via a third-party. The 35mm focal length is about at the limit and so doesn't necessarily need to be coded for in-camera corrections (though useful for the EXIF info and to differentiate between lenses). You might want to consider it however, especially when used with a UV/IR filter as it can introduce slightly cyan corners. There is also some vignetting - and the firmware can correct all of this nicely.
The Biogon T* 2/35 ZM would be a great option as your primary or secondary lens and can be used under all circumstances. A sharp lens with great color and signature with a performance that's very good in general and quite lifelike. Very much lives up to the definition of the Biogon design. With an attractive price and all the usual "Zeissisms" it's a great value and should be on your short list.
Vignetting
Vignetting was tested using the M9 at ISO 160, firmware version 1.162:
Lens detection set to OFF
Lens coded as a Summicron 35mm f/2,0 "pre-ASPH" (11310/11311) and lens detection set to AUTO
This test is preliminary, and only tests the center performance - but it should give you an idea of what to expect. It was conducted by shooting a test target at MFD (.7m) which represents a worst case scenario as non-macro lenses are generally optimized for infinity. Images were shot at the various apertures with an M9, mounted on a tripod. No alterations were done to the image except for auto level and they are 100% crops:
