Carnage – Christoph Waltz on behind-the-scenes rubbish

Christoph Waltz became an international star with his performance as Nazi Colonel Hans Landa in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, for which he received an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Recently he has been seen in Water for Elephants, The Three Musketeers and The Green Hornet.
In his new movie Carnage, based on the popular and acclaimed play God of Carnage, directed by Roman Polanski, Waltz portrays Alan Cowan, a businessman who along with his wife Nancy (Kate Winslet) have been invited to the home of Michael and Penelope Longstreet (John C Reilly and Jodie Foster) following a fist fight by the couples' two sons at the local playground.
Waltz shared his opinions on movies, extras on DVDs and cell phones with us!
As an actor was this a joy to do, because you shot it from beginning to end like a play?
Alan Cowan (Christoph Waltz) © 2011 Sony Pictures Classics
I like working in movies, I don't have to have the excuse of pretending to do a play in order to enjoy it. But there were certain similarities to theatre work, especially in the rehearsal, because we rehearsed like in the theatre, with the luxury of the finished set and costumes.
We rehearsed for two weeks and we even did run-throughs.
The rehearsal was almost indispensible with this project. It wasn't just so we could get used to each other. It gave us the time to experiment, to try this and that, to reject things that weren't appropriate.
On a regular shoot you never have the luxury of time.
Was any of that process filmed?
No, why? It's a rehearsal. If it had been filmed it wouldn't be a rehearsal.
Maybe for the Blu-ray or DVD?
If I had a say in these things, I would do away with all this behind-the-scenes rubbish, it's nobody's business.
Why would you poke your nose in our rehearsal? Where do we then have our safe space where we try and make fools of ourselves just to fathom what it is that we need to do?
It's a huge drag, and I try to avoid making the epks. 'Can you explain your character?' Why would I do that? I'm playing it, you explain it to me, because you're watching it, I'm playing it, I'm not explaining anything!
Did you see the play and if you did, did another actor's performance have any impact on you when you were doing this?
I hope it didn't have any impact. I've seen it, but I saw it many years before. There's this misconception that Broadway was the original production. Let me tell you, it wasn't. It was five or six years after the original production.
I had seen the original, but that long ago and even though I was impressed with the actor who played the part that I play in the movie, I still have my [good] points!
The dialogue really felt like a living, breathing conversation that would happen with people who are real. Was that the result of the rehearsals or is it Roman Polanski's direction?
Nancy Cowan (Kate Winslet) and Alan Cowan (Christoph Waltz) © 2011 Sony Pictures Classics
Maybe that's just what we do for a living. I take it as a compliment and thank you, but I think that's how it should be done. That quality should be in every movie. It not always is. All these things come together, but that takes us back to the safe space.
You need to have a safe space, and if it's constantly invaded by outside observers, 'Let's have a press day on set, because journalists love it,' That day is lost, not to the journalists, fair enough, but for the movie the day is lost.
What do you get from Roman as an actor?
Precision. Exactitude. Concreteness. All the qualities that I adore and that I really strive for, and that I'm grappling with and fighting with. He's a hero. I adore the man.
Alan is never off his cell phone in this movie. What are your personal feelings about cell phone etiquette?
I wonder how I existed without one. It's difficult to say because I was in a situation before I came here. The day before [I left] my flight was not booked, I didn't know what time to leave [for the airport], so they sent me a note, 'It's being arranged, we'll tell you.'
I was invited to dinner, so I kept my phone on. Normally I would have turned it off, but because I didn't know what time to get up the next morning in order to make the plane that would take me here, I kept it on. And [the studio] was constantly telling me what the current status was.
Everybody at that dinner had seen the play (he laughs) They were laughing. I said, 'I'm sorry. I need to know!'
I think any part you play would be interesting because you're doing it. But there has got to be something that you look for in a role, because this is a great character. Are you thrilled when these come around, because there are not that many great characters?
No, that's true and that's a great pity. If I wanted to be very polite about it I'd say, 'Yeah, there is a tendency to reduce human characters to archetypes.' That's polite. I don't quite get it and I don't read everything that's out there, not that you have to. But I think the interest in humanity is waning a little bit.
I think [it's important] to leave the comfort zone in the depiction of a character rather than make somebody likable, because the audience will identify [with him].
The audience might admire the hero, but can't identify with an immaculate character, because even though you might be terribly conceited and self-assured, not everything is perfect, especially once you've had a few years of experience in relation to the world around you.
There's a wonderful line in one of Leonard Cohen's songs, 'The crack, that's where the light gets in.'

90% Semillion Grapefruity, grassy nose initially, very surprizing. It turned to the normal, pleasent mix of tropical fruits and saffron. Very tropical in the mouth. Passionfruit, melon and a bit of botrytis. Sauternes is my favorite type of wine, this was the best Sauternes I've ever had. Outstanding wine.

popped the cork on this beauty (RP95) last night after dinner. it was at about 60 degrees (fresh from the wine cellar) and not overly chilled. the aromatics exploded out of the glass...peach, honeysuckle, a hint of brown molasses. the wine is golden in colour (it's still very young at only 4 vintage years old). the aromatics did not disappoint on the palate. this is an unctious wine-very luxurious and almost decadent in the mouth. the honey and molasses were there, without question, along with a myriad of other succulent froot flavours. the wine coated my mouth for what felt like forever. it's a lot richer and thicker than you might expect.
Amazingly rich, ripe, and full. Great botrytis and sufficient balancing acid, but this comes across as very big and plush. Quite accessible already.


The Weber® Smokey Joe® grill has been used for years to get a juicy steak or finely grilled hot dogs and burgers when you just gotta have some. Fits nicely on a small table and has been used for years in colleges or by recent grads when your budget and space doesn't allow for much, and with its portability, it's great for campouts and picnics for anyone. The Smokey Joe® Gold has a bar to support the lid when you want to get to the food and it doubles to lock the lid down so you can pick the whole thing up to take it with you, or just to keep it all together in the car or on a windy balcony.


I'm not the only one on my team with Overly Creative Disorder (OCD); I'm surrounded by it. Now, this may sound like a good thing. But if you spend all your time coming up with new ideas and you don't make any decisions on which ones to pursue, you end up not getting much of anything done.
Truthfully, in the early years of Wasabi Publicity, this was a big issue. And I knew better.
One day a mentor of mine, Laurie Ford, shared a very valuable insight with me, that there are three types of people: creators, managers and completers. Now, this doesn't mean people don't do a little of all three. Of course they do, or they wouldn't function in life. But at the end of the day, people generally fall into one of these three categories. It's their fallback; how they succeed in life and in business. Why is this important? Because if you want a successful business, you need to have all three types of people on your team. You need cool ideas to be creative. You need those ideas to be organized into a project and managed. And you need that project driven to completion.
From my observation, most entrepreneurs are like me: they're creators, they thrive on inventing new ideas. I truly love it! It's what wakes me up in the middle of the night and gets me out of bed in the morning. This may sound like a good thing for an entrepreneur, but trust me (or ask my team), it can really drive the ship amuck.
IF you suspect you suffer from Overly Creative Disorder, or your ship is amuck, here's a quick exercise I created to right your ship, or at least give those managers and completers around you a break.
Gather your team (or the people you collaborate with) and ask them, "What's missing?" and, "Should we be taking different actions?" Listen to your team. You'll gain greater insight into your own business by looking at it from different perspectives.
Next, ask them, "What would make the difference?" More creativity? Closer management? Driving things to completion?
By opening up a dialog with your team, I promise you'll create a new space and magic will happen! You'll begin to see what would make the difference to becoming unstuck. Why? It's no longer personal. Instead, it becomes about finding the right balance of skills to succeed. Don't worry, this exercise won't stifle your creativity… it'll balance it with the skills needed to bring your creativity to life.
Do you need to manage a little more, or hire a list-checker to drive things to completion? By being aware of these different skill sets, you can even keep yourself in check. Management and completion might not be your thing, but by recognizing these skills, you can set aside certain times of the day to do them.
It's amazing how a few questions and a little structure can keep your Overly Creative Disorder in check. What insights and "Ahas" popped for you after reading this? I'd love to know.

Celine Dion Nails Impressions of Cher, Rihanna and Sia on 'Jimmy Fallon'
Celine Dion: Legendary performer, iconic singer and now, expert celebrity impressionist.
On Thursday's (July 21) episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the Canadian pop superstar took part in a game of Wheel of Musical Impressions, where she — who herself was imitated by Ariana Grande on the same show last year — charmed the audience with a number of on-the-nose musical impersonations.
Dion first knocked an impression of her friend and industry peer Cher singing "Frére Jacques," along with a little bit of "Believe," out of the park before tackling the classic children's song "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" to the tune of Rihanna's "Work" — with some mild sensual booty popping thrown in for effect.
Meanwhile, the comedian and host of the nightly talk-show didn't do too bad himself, blasting through a nasally rendition of Michael Jackson singing Drake's "One Dance," as Dion hilariously peppered the background with "Jimmy are you okay? Are you okay, Jimmy?"
Fallon then nailed a side-splitting (if not somewhat disorienting) parody of baritone country icon Johnny Cash singing "C Is For Cookie."
However, it was the Las Vegas headliner's sensational imitation of Sia singing "Hush, Little Baby" to the melody of "Chandelier" that had everyone rolling. With her tresses flipped forward to cover her face, Dion altered her vocal to an emotive rasp as she belted the Australian pop star's soaring chorus from behind an impromptu wig made of her own hair.

Essay About Love in Baraka's For Hettie
Searching for a Deeper Love in Baraka's For Hettie
Amari Baraka's poem, "For Hettie," may seem to be like just another Hallmark card; trite, overly simplistic, and unrealistic. However, after reading this poem, our thoughts changed drastically. Our first impressions were that it was insulting and offensive. The speaker criticizes almost every aspect of his wife, even her unborn child. The first time through, we saw no evidence of love or affection. In addition, we also recognized how it could be interpreted as a loving view, with the central concept being imperfect love. Either way, both sides provide convincing arguments for each perspective.
The speaker is supposed to be writing a love poem to his wife, but the unmistakable criticism he places on her makes one wonder if this is really love he speaks of. It may not be a "traditional" love story, but he does not need to degrade his wife in this manner. Reading through this poem the first time made us feel defensive and almost angry at the speaker for criticizing his wife so badly. Although it is flattering to be the subject of a poem, we do not think many women would like to be written about in this way.
Hettie is left-handed, which seems to be the whole basis of her "weirdness." He says it is "A sin and a shame" (Baraka 7.699) how people always try to be different. Why does he consider her left-handedness a shame? It is not fair to say this, because she has no control over it. Also, her husband commands her like she is an animal, and thinks he must tell her what to do, and what is right, because after all, he evidently has all the answers. At one point he even appears angry because she is not writing in the proper direction, and he shows this anger in a particular style. Written in all caps he says to her, "TAKE THAT DAMN PENCIL OUTTA THAT HAND. YOU'RE RITING BACKWARDS" (13-15.699). From the way she dresses to the way she acts, she cannot please this man. He even goes so far as to "attack" their child that is soon to be born. He states, "
Relationship between Chopin's Life and The Awakening
Katherine O'Flahtery Chopin was born in St. Louis, Missouri February 8,1851. She was the daughter of Thomas and Eliza O'Flaherty, a prominent Irish-born merchant and his wife. Together, Chopin's parents represented freedom and the American dream. Their ambition and spirit helped mold Chopin into a unique character with independence and intelligence. Her father died suddenly when Chopin was four years old. His death was the result of a terrible accident that took the lives of several civic leaders when the key link to the Pacific Railroad was being completed and a bridge collapsed. After Thomas O'Flahtery's death, Katherine's childhood was most profoundly influenced by her mother and grandmother, women of French Creole pioneers. As a child, Chopin spent much of her time with her family's Creole and mulatto slaves, whose dialects she mastered. She studied piano, wrote poetry, and read books by such famous authors as Dickens, Austen, and Goethe. Although Katherine displayed a very independent and responsible personality, she was once nicknamed the littlest rebel for yanking down a Union flag. However, despite her free spirit, Chopin grew to be a leading social belle, admired for her wit and beauty.
As a debutante, Chopin was an undistinguished student at the convent school named the St. Louis Academy of the Sacred Heart. She graduated at age seventeen and spent two years as a young woman of fashionable St. Louis society. It was then that the young Katherine O'Flaherty met Oscar Chopin, a wealthy Creole cotton factor. In the year 1870, Kate married Oscar and, for the next decade, Kate Chopin pursued the demanding social and domestic schedule of a wealthy wife and mother. …
…r that surrounded the publication of The Awakening, and its harsh reception is what ultimately stopped her from writing. She felt that because of the vast amount of controversy and criticism she received because of The Awakening, there was no future for her as an author. Chopin devoted the last few years of her life to her family.
Katherine O'Flaherty Chopin died of a cerebral hemorrhage on August 22, 1904 at the age of 53. Many felt that Kate Chopin had been denied the recognition she desperately wanted and richly deserved. As well as The Awakening, other of Chopin's writings are receiving the critical acclaim that they had been neglected. The short stories collected in Bayou Folk and A Night in Acadie established Chopin as an important writer of local-color fiction.

Eye-Opening Packaging for the Blind
Grocery shopping can be a real feast for the eyes. A rainbow of colorful boxes and wrappers feature eye-popping logos that grab your attention at every turn of the aisle. Meanwhile, some packages are transparent and avoid tricks of the eye. But what about packaging for those who lack the sense of sight? Today on the Ernest blog, we're taking a look at one graphic designer's bold ideas for packaging for the blind.
Alexandra Burling is the creator of "Color Me Blind," an art project to appeal to advertising by the sense of touch. After interviewing individuals with visual impairments, it became evident to Burling that there were frustrations about trips to the grocery store.
"There is an extreme lack of information written in Braille on these kinds of packages," explains Burling. Her research backed up these concerns, as few packages offered insights as to their contents, much less how to open them. Burling asked herself, "Is it possible to give the sightless the same experiences as people with vision?"
"Color Me Blind" transformed a small gallery room into a faux grocery store for the blind. Visitors would enter the "store" and touch packages in complete darkness, while supermarket sounds played around them.
It might seem like packaging as subtle as that in "Color Me Blind" could never stand out in the crowded grocery store shelf, but Burling's minimalistic, informative design is already turning its fair share of heads: it has generated a lot of buzz online and has been featured at the Golden Pin Concept Design Awards. It takes a true innovator to take the conversation about packaging in a completely different direction, and Burling has opened up new discussions about where the boundaries of design lie.
We at Ernest know a thing or two about pushing the boundaries of packaging and making waves… well, slopes. Our Cardboard Chaos corrugated snowboard challenged preconceptions about what materials were snow-proof and showed that cardboard can shred along with the best of 'em. Going against the industry standard can open up all-new possibilities to address challenges you may be facing. Contact us today to see how we can shed new light on your packaging!

Dave Grohl is Really Pumped About The ABBA Reunion
Q Music News
Erica Banas // Rock Music Reporter October 1st, 2021
Dave Grohl is among the many fans excited about the reunion of the iconic pop group ABBA after they disbanded nearly 40 years ago.
When asked what he thought of their newly released singles — "I Still Have Faith In You" and "Don't Shut Me Down" — Grohl told BBC News, "Oh my god, I'm such a big ABBA fan. When I saw that they were coming back and they had a record, I shot that link to 100 people I knew, then listened to the new song and wept like a baby. I cried like a baby. Oh man!"
When asked why he was so moved, Grohl responded, "It almost sounded like time hadn't passed. Plus it was such a beautiful, romantic, melancholy, bitter-sweet retrospective. Ugh, it's amazing. Abba can do no wrong."
At the possibility of playing drums for ABBA, Grohl enthusiastically said, "Listen, I will get up and play drums at the opening of an envelope. Show me a drum set and I will sit down to it. So yes, I would play with ABBA."
As previously reported, ABBA announced the November 5 release of Voyage, a new album featuring ten new tracks. Also in store for fans is a very unique concert dubbed ABBA Voyage. Per Rolling Stone, "ABBA will also perform a digital concert on May 27th, 2022 — which they first announced in 2016. Made through George Lucas' Industry Light & Magic, 'Abba Voyage' will take place at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park's arena in London. General tickets are available on September 7th."
ABBA said in a statement on this historic news, "It's been a while since we made music together. Almost 40 years, actually. We took a break in the spring of 1982 and now we've decided it's time to end it. They say it's foolhardy to wait more than 40 years between albums, so we've recorded a follow-up to 'The Visitors.' We simply call it 'Voyage' and we're truly sailing in uncharted waters."

Swamp Sparrows Display Evidence of Centuries-Old Tradition in Their Songs

If you start listening to birds, you'll realize that they have a species-specific sets of calls. Would you consider these songs a form of culture? Maybe, maybe not—but bird calls are passed down through generations, much as human traditions are. And it appears that some birds may have song traditions that persist over centuries.
At least, that's what new research has found, through modeling and observations of hundreds of swamp sparrows, a bird native to North America. While somewhat anthropomorphizing, the study's conclusion suggests the sparrows have a bird version of cultural traditions.
"We're able to demonstrate that they learn quite precisely, and they have a conformist bias—they have stable cultural traditions, with song types that can last many hundreds of years," study author Robert Lachlan from Queen Mary University of London in the United Kingdom told Gizmodo.
The researchers recorded 615 male swamp sparrows' entire musical repertoires for a year in the northeastern United States. These birds typically learn a dozen syllable types (shown in pink on the graph below) in their youth, ultimately only using three or so in adulthood. The researchers noticed that the birds can learn these songs with high accuracy.
A swamp sparrow song, in frequency (pitch) over time. The pink represents a syllable that comprises a descending tone, then a rising tone, a higher pitched down, and another descending tone. The blue represents a single element of a syllable.
Graphic: Lachlan et al (Nature Communications)
But through modeling and analysis, they noticed a conformist bias, where birds preferred to learn and use more popular syllables. Using a model based on prior research about swamp sparrows as well as their own findings, they calculated that the sparrows could have been singing some of the syllables for over 500 years, and other syllables for even longer, according to the paper published in Nature Communications.
This conformist bias is essentially a do-what's-most-likely mentality, which might lead to the creation of what seem to be traditions. The swamp sparrows exhibiting this behavior tend to learn the most common things that the population does. Over time, this tends to strengthen the song tradition, even if some individuals act differently. It's kind of like how New Yorkers eat bagels because they're widely available and everyone else does, even though they can choose to eat any other breads, thus solidifying bagels as a city tradition.
Other bird species learn songs in other ways. Some birds might prefer to learn from certain highly regarded individuals, regardless of how common a syllable is, while others might prefer reproductively advantageous behaviors, like singing songs that make them stand out.
These results are based on a model, so it's not direct evidence that the sparrows' songs have remained stable over the centuries. "The time frames are so big here that you can't get fossils or archaeological evidence. It's difficult to think of direct ways to test this." He did point out other studies, like one involving introduced yellowhammers in New Zealand, which seemed to retain songs among the population.

BOND: I can't remember where I read this about you. I think it was during some ceremony at the Schomburg for Langston Hughes and some libation spilled and you danced. And -- or maybe it was at a church?
BARAKA: No, it was at the Schomburg [Center for Research in Black Culture] --
BOND: No, I'm thinking about something else. And this was at a church and it was an occasion, a memorial for some prominent person, and you said, "If there is a God" and I was struck by that, that you would say that in the church.
BARAKA: Oh, yeah. No, I said that.
BOND: Not that you believe, or don't believe, but I was just struck by that --
BARAKA: Oh, yeah. No, I said that, you know, to them, because that town is so small, everybody in there knows my beliefs about everything. You know. But they also know that I was raised in that church and, you know, there are no ministers walking around in that town that have been in that church longer than I have.
BOND: When you were speaking last night and reciting your poetry, in some ways I was reminded of sermonizing. And I wondered if you took from early experiences in church this call-and-response pattern, this rhythmic back and forth, or --
BARAKA: That's the -- that's the paradigm. I mean, that would be my first and strongest paradigm. You know, not only did we have to go to church every Sunday, as well you did too, I'm sure --
BARAKA: But we also went to some other services, God knows. Sunday school --
BOND: Yes.
BARAKA: -- BYPU -- Baptist Young People['s Union], all kind of wild stuff. Some weekends we even went to -- some weekdays we even went to prayer meetings. I guess that's where my mother and father were going somewhere and left me in my grandmother's charge. So me and my sister, we had to end up in prayer meetings,too. So that was my reference. That was my reference. And you can tell today, probably more clearly than then, what children go to church, what children -- however they get there. But you can tell the difference it seems to me, you know. Although my adventures in church were kind of mixed, you know.

'Frasier' Star Kelsey Grammer Once Revealed His Favorite Episode of the Series
by Joe Rutland January 13, 2022
written by Joe Rutland January 13, 2022
With so many great episodes to choose from in the series, what would Kelsey Grammer's favorite one be from his sitcom, Frasier?
Grammer, who obviously played the lead role on the show as well as on Cheers, too, revealed this answer on a TV special titled My Favorite 'Frasier.' It's part of an article from ScreenRant.
Ready? The actor chose one from Season 4 titled Our Father Whose Art Ain't Heaven.
Martin, played by the late John Mahoney, tried doing something nice for Frasier by purchasing a painting. Well, Frasier hates it. Niles, played by David Hyde Pierce, has a dinner party planned, but his ex-wife Maris is stealing his guests.
'Frasier' Episode Starts With Three Crane Men Sharing Time at Dinner
This sabotages Niles' plans and sends him into a typical Niles tizzy when things go wrong.
So, this Frasier episode has Martin, Niles, and Frasier going out to dinner. Martin starts feeling sorry for himself and guilty about Frasier and Niles paying for him. But he hears Frasier pretending to like a painting featuring a matador and a bull at the restaurant.
Martin goes and buys it in secret. This Frasier episode ends as Frasier tells Martin he does not like the painting one bit.
Martin Feels Bad About Painting, But Son Points Out What Mattered More
The news hurts Martin because he thought that, after 40 years, he and Frasier's tastes were finally aligned. This episode is filled with great gags. Yet it takes a step toward looking at a complex-but-loving relationship between Martin and Frasier.
But the son tells the father that the greatest gift Martin ever gave him involved telling him off when he was a boy. Frasier remembers a time where he was playing with Martin's badge. Dad, who was a police officer, told the young boy that it's not a toy but a symbol of helping people.
It leads Frasier Crane to pursue a career as a psychiatrist that would let him help others in his own way. A sweet, loving connection between father and son. Yes, there is a comedic payoff at the end.
Right now, there is a reboot being worked on by Kelsey Grammer himself. Will it return to TV at some point? That's always the plan if a show is being worked on during a season. With this TV show and its great history, it would look to be a grand slam for its fans.
Yet the show's star is taking control of how this reboot will appear. We don't have any firm idea that his old castmates are going to have spots. Everyone who loved the show and these characters will just have to wait and see what happens.

In our country, especially in our region laminated wood or hair yachts are available in Istanbul Tuzla. Plying the world's oceans in our country made numerous private yachts and charter boats that are available. Excellent quality motoryachts longer manufactured using modern techniques and technology in our yard. Tuzla, Istanbul and Antalya are free zone motoryachts produced in. Made for the world market and are trying to order.
Six side of our country is surrounded by the sea. Seen in this context is not the place to be in the maritime sector. Of course, much depends on the reason for this situation can be counted. First are the duties applicable to attach the Turkish flag.18% KDV Plus 8% excise tax are one of the reasons 18% KDV. This tax is applied to all types of boats. When we look at other countries such as Italy 10 mt. 20% tax on boats, for boats 15 feet 15% to 10% for boats 20 feet and above. The application is usually the case in other countries. Boat length grows tax decreases. Aim is to contribute to the country to encourage the use where larger boats, allowing the use of these vessels in the dorm, KDV by capturing the formation will occur during the use of other hand boats. However, it is to promote the sector's development. Sailboats for sale by owner Boats are around 85,000 in our country except fishing boats. Large part of them are foreign flagged. Although it is only lower taxes we pay to the state of delaware America holds $ 106 million per year for foreign flag. This is a great loss for our country. For us, this situation should be corrected immediately. Before the amnesty issued by Flag exchange has just admitted boat around 1600. People those of us who are irritated to move to the Turkish flag. Set up a company in the United States is around $ 75. The real figure is this even companies want 600-700 dollar for this. If we want to revive the sector to encourage our Seamanship, SCT should stand by us at the first time. KDV should be 1%, and it should continue for 3-4 years. These rates may be increased gradually over the course of the following year. However, to take the road of our maritime sector development and this should be made absolute.
In our country 85,000 boat found and at the same time in America the total is 1.700.000.
In our country 1 boat falls to each every 900 people but Even in this case, non-marine boat switzerland 90 people to fall 1. One boat to 11 people in Sweden, one boat to 60 people in Greece, one boat to 6 people in Norway. However, to accommodate the boats in the marina my thing necessary is solved in this country. Each of the outside of the large modern marina, 300-400 very affordable boat has been designed cleverly small shelters are available that can be found.


In order to develop a thermal-hydraulic analysis model of the SG (steam-generator) to simulate transient phenomena in the FBR (sodium cooled fast breeder reactor) MONJU, JNES (Japan Nuclear Energy Safety Organization) validated a SG analysis model using the RELAP5/3D code against the results of turbine trip test at a 40% power load. The modeling by using the code was performed to explain main observed behaviors of the pressure and the temperature of the EV (evaporator) steam outlet, and the temperature of water supply distributing piping (near the water supply chamber) until 600 seconds after the turbine trip. The analysis results of these behaviors showed good agreement with the test results on parameter study of the blow efficiency (release coefficient.). It was found that RELAP5/3D with a two-fluid model of water/steam and a sodium fluid model for tube outside predicted well the physical behaviors: the void of steam generated by the depressurization boiling moves upward in the down-comer tubes accompanied by the enthalpy, increases the temperature of the water supply chambers; and that the pressure change of a "shoulder" like shape is induced by the mass balance between the steam mass generated in the down-comer tubes and the steam mass blown from the SG. The applicability of RELAP5/3D to the SG modeling was confirmed by the well simulation of the actual FBR system.

Putin Signs Amendments To 'Foreign Agents' Law That Critics Say Undermine Democracy
By RFE/RL's Russian Service
MOSCOW -- Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed into law a raft of legislation that human rights watchdogs and opposition politicians have said will undermine democratic processes.
The controversial legislation came into force immediately upon being signed into law on December 30 and included an amendment to a law that allows individuals and public entities to be recognized as foreign agents if they are considered to be engaged in political activities "in the interests of a foreign state."
Grounds for being recognized as a "foreign agent" could be the purposeful collection of information about Russia's military or military activities that could harm Russia's security; holding rallies or political debates; providing opinions on state policies; actions promoting a certain outcome in an election or referendum; or participation as an electoral observer or in political parties if they are done in the interest of a foreign entity.
Entities that have been branded as "foreign agents" are subject to restrictions such as providing financial reports on their activities and identifying themselves as such in publications.
Putin signed a separate bill imposing penalties of up to five years in prison to those identified as "foreign agents" who do not register as such or fail to report on their activities.
Amnesty International slammed the legislation before it was signed into law, saying it would "drastically limit and damage the work not only of civil society organizations that receive funds from outside Russia but many other groups as well."
Critics say the "foreign agent" law, originally passed in 2012 and since expanded through amendments, has been arbitrarily applied to target Russian civil society organizations, human rights defenders, and political activists.
Russia on December 28 effectively branded individuals as "foreign agents" for the first time, but on a Justice Ministry registry of "foreign mass media performing the functions of a foreign agent." Three of the five individuals listed contribute to RFE/RL. The other two are activists who are not members of the media.
On December 30, Putin also signed a bill allowing media regulator Roskomnadzor to partially or fully restrict or slow access to foreign websites that "discriminate against Russian media."
The legislation is expected to affect major social-media platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter.
Another signed bill prohibits the disclosure of personal information about certain "employees [of law enforcement agencies], their families, and assets."
The list of those qualifying for the measure is to be drawn up by law enforcement agencies and may include officials including judges, prosecutors, investigators, as well as employees at the Interior Ministry, the Federal Penitentiary Service, and the Federal Security Service.

There are a few different approaches you can take with logo design. I'll outline a few for you here and let you know what route I finally decided to take based on my needs. Keep in mind, I had a very small amount of money saved up from a couple contract gigs that I did (remember I'm not spending a dime of my own money on my business), so I included the cost for each option. I also included the time and work spent on each option, because I have a day job and I cherish my free time.
This is the option I really wanted to take. I know I can do it, because I designed the Y.F.N.C.G. logo for this website. I still put myself in the amature/hobbiest category of graphic designers though, and I was a little hesitant to design something for my business without the proper tools or knowledge. There's something special about having a professional's touch, and in this case, I wanted that pro mojo.
I didn't choose this option because most freelancers were charging too much. Also, the time it takes to communicate your ideas and request new drafts can add up. Plus, without an established firm or company to back them up, it's a crap shoot as to the reliability of the freelancer. I've had wonderful experiences and not so wonderful experiences using freelancers in the past, so I thought I would avoid the potential headache this time around.
The great thing about companies that specialize in logo design is that they are experts in the field of logo design. They have the resources and the expertise to churn out great content. They can also keep costs low because they have a team of graphic designers pooling their resources to produce results quickly.
I asked for something that conveyed fast, friendly, consumer and business computer service and I believe that's what I received. I also asked them to include an iconic image that could stand on it's own (the running man). The motto "Your Friendly Neighborhood Computer Guy" can be removed if necessary, since it wont be visible if the logo is a smaller size (like on business cards and stationary). They also provided the logo in many shapes, file formats, and even included information on the fonts and colors they used.
I think the folks at Logo Design Creation did a great job with my logo. I would never have been able to create a sleek, adaptable, iconic logo like this on my own. It may look simple and unassuming, but I really think it's a logo that can stick with my company for many years into the future.
The biggest value I gain from my logo is the feeling of ownership and pride I have when I see it displayed. It's my mark, my badge of business ownership.
Now that I have the logo created, I can easily produce professional looking business cards with my business name. I can also begin building a website around the logo.
What do you think of the logo? For the business owners out there, what was your experience with logo design? Did you choose to do it yourself or hire a professional?
And for a laugh, try Make My Logo Bigger Cream!
Wow! I love the new logo! I love the versitility, colors, and the cool little man. I think you're right, they did a good job conveying the aspects of your business that you are looking to display.
Thanks Tim, I'm glad you share my enthusiasm for it!
That is awesome! The little man just looks like you. The feeling I got from the logo is that your service is fast and friendly.Good luck!
So, your business is almost set up?
Haha, he looks just likeme huh? I don't know how to take that =-) I'm glad you get the feeling of fast and friendly service from the logo!
Yes, my business is almost set-up. There's still one or two small things I need to do, but overall it's ready to go!
I love your logo – it makes me want to break my computer so that cute little guy 9with your hlep0 can come to my house and fix it.
Its a nice design. The character could use a little bit of work (a little too blocky, but thats my opinion), but other than that, it looks good. It does portray what you want though (quick service).
Hey Vincent, I actually thought the same thing as you initially. But the little guy has grown on me! He's very unassuming and not too cutesy, which I appreciate. Thanks for your input, always appreciated!
is true but instead of removing it consider adding a line of the same color.
Good suggestions Phil, I think that would make the logo look nicer overall!
I do embroidery and one thing people don't consider is how well a logo will sew on a shirt if you desire to do that. The small text won't work of course as the max size a sewn logo should be is 4″ wide. Other than that it's great. And obviously the more complex and the more colors you have the more it's going to cost to sew. Look at the big companies, most of their logo's are very simple in design.
Good point! I have thought about that and if and when I put the logo on a shirt, it will be sans the tiny text. And you're right about simplicity. That's why I decided to ask a professional to do it, because if I had done it myself, I probably would have made it too complicated.
Since others have posted on this recently I just wanted to follow up. I have used the company "Logo Design Creations" referenced in the post several times and have to say they are the best company I have ever worked with.
They produce excellent results in a quick time frame for a cost that can't be beat!
Two thumbs up for them! So thankful that you turned me on to them.
It's good to hear that a company I recommended has helped others. I really do think it was a great find!
I've used Logo Design Creation and the company stands out, in my mind, because of the speed with which they respond to any and all customer needs. Every project is handled with ease with which editing requests and updates are processed. They also have the ability to "problem-solve" and meet client expectations far and away.
I personally think they are one of the most impressive in the industry (of web design and logo creation). From the standpoint of artistic expression, LogoDesign Creation masterfully balances customer needs with the topography of modern web design.
What satisfies me the most? The ability of Logo Design Creation to synthesize the specifics of the client with the experience of the teams. I would highly recommend Logo Design Creation to just about anybody who needs a logo!! Bravo!!
I highly recommend Logo Design Creation to whoever needs a well-designed logo. I was very pleased with the design concept they presented as it was exactly what I wanted. I didn't have a specific vision in mind for the final product but the designers listened to my criteria and delivered an excellent logo. The design staff from Logo Design Creation interpreted my vision for a logo perfectly. They incorporated all the aspects needed to communicate my company's message. The designer was easy to communicate with and had an intuitive sense for the best solution in what I needed in a logo. They couldn't have made the process any easier.
Overall an impressive design that you can be proud of. The logo 'screams out' fast and efficient service.
I do agree with the other poster about the 'blocky' character. I wondered if he should have had a simple smile instead of a 'block' face – to give the impression of friendliness. Hard to say as you wouldn't want to complicate the design further.

People are often impressed by certain equine exhibitions. What makes them special is their ability to do very basic skills to an extraordinary degree. The foundation is something you have to keep revisiting - making sure it remains intact and keeps improving. Your training goal shouldn't be that of insulating against life but rather learning to overcome all things with your horse. Commitment to education is imperative for all of us. Through our horse experience, we learn about ourselves. We first improve ourselves if we care to provide positive leadership and security to the horse. Hence, educators should add to the experience only as people are ready. They should always adjust to what the person and the horse tell us. They should go by what they do, not necessarily by where they would like to go without sufficient preparation.
"...If I can teach people to learn to understand how to communicate with their horses and lead them effectively we won't have such a turnover in horses and horse-owners as we see today."
This is Paul's philosophy and way of teaching in his clinics!

Be sure to check out the Paul's website (click on poster), in particular the articles page for loads of FREE training ideas and information.
When bringing a horse to the clinic, also bring a rope halter, lead rope, water bucket, any special feed, feed bucket, and your tack for riding. Also bring your own hay. If you don't have any, I have some grass small squares for sale for $5/bale. Bedding is included in your board.
Please advise of any specific food requirements you may have as well.

I am a Cameroonian and a journalist by profession with a passion for anything communication,gender and development.
In 2009 when I decided to leave Douala the economic capital of Cameroon to work on work on the female condom project in Kumba (a small town in the southwest region of Cameroon),my life and perspective changed. I have worked with youths and women at the grassroots on basic sexual reproductive health issues and it has been heart wrenching but strengthening as well.Each time I meet a young girl or woman who does not know the first thing about her body and did not even have a chance to get an education, I thank God that despite my humble background, I was given equal opportunity to education like my male sibling.Every girl has a right to that opportunity!
I am fulfilled each time I know my training on the field has taught and inspired someone to take charge of their lives by making informed decisions on sexual health.Every time I see a poor girl,woman or boy struggle and succeed to get an education despite the financial and ICT setbacks due to the nature of rural communities,I am more determined to get those tools that can help them help themselves.
I am execellent at social and commercial marketing,project implementation and management,communication,public relations and report writing.
A world where those at the grassroots know the basics of most issues.
Shaping the Voice of the Voiceless.
The Struggle of the girl child.
'A woman has no tribe or religion until she marries'; this is the fate of many beautiful and differently able girls and women around you and I.
Growing up as a little girl, my mother would always say, ''I would sponsor your studies to any level''. I would secretly wonder why my mother is so enthusiastic about my education.
The information super higway has evolved by leaps and bounds giving rise to opporrtunities which have inevitably brought the world to a click.
