How Do Your Clubs Fit?
We are starting 2008 with a bang--Tee Time's very first e-newsletter! Each issue will be filled with interesting news, tips and offers you can use at the practice range. I hope you will enjoy this great new way to stay up-to-date on the latest at Tee Time. Please feel free to forward this along to your family and friends using the forward feature at the bottom of this page.
Tee Time is proud to announce that our highly respected Pro, Bob Smith, was recently named Southern California PGA Northern Chapter Teacher of the Year in the Northern Chapter of the SCA PGA.
The honor goes once a year to a golf professional who has been nominated by another golf professional. Nominees are asked to answer a series of questions regarding teaching technique, contributions to the community and so on. Members of the PGA review the answers and vote for the winner of the coveted title.
"It's a particular honor because I was elected by my peers," Bob Smith says.
It's not the name on the club that will make you play better, it's the fit! In tennis, baseball, and hockey, tools to hit the ball are customized to the individual. Why not in golf? It's just a matter of economics. In most sports, there is one hitting tool, like a racquet, bat, or hockey stick. In golf, there are 14 sticks in the bag. These are way too many items for the manufacturers to customize to each player.Yet golfers will pay $1600, $2000 or more for a set of one size fits all golf clubs because they've seen their favorite PGA tour player using them. What many of these golfers do not realize is that the pros may play with a certain brand of clubs, but they have been fitted to them to the nth degree by a professional golf club fitter.
At Tee Time, we have two qualified and certified golf equipment professionals on hand to help our golfers find their perfect fit. Schedule a two and a half hour professional fitting with Bill Kelly or Bob Dugan, and they'll define the set of clubs that will fit your physical size and golf swing.
My colleague Lee Martin and I agree on the importance of proper position of the right hand in the golf grip. It's crucial for the right hand on the top of the club to be at the same angle as the clubface. The right hand (for right-handed players) is the most important hand.
It amazes me how many people ask about where the left hand should be on the club. I agree that stronger is better than weaker, but how do you find the proper position for the left hand?
Start by putting your feet together. Place the club head two inches in front of your left toe. Now move your left hand behind your left hip (or rear end) about four to six inches. Take the club in your right hand and drop the grip of the club into your left hand. You will notice a couple of things. One, the club is in your fingers of the left hand (not the palm). Wrap the fingers around the grip and bring the club in front of you. When you do this, you will see at least two knuckles of the left hand on top. That is a very good position for the left hand. Make sure the "V" formed by the thumb and index finger of the right hand points to your nose or right eye. Do this and you will have a great grip.


Formerly known as the King's Library, this room was built between 1823 and 1827 and was the first part of the new Museum building as it is seen today.
Careful restoration work between 2000 and 2003 revived the original room to its previous glory, in time to celebrate the Museum's 250th anniversary. Cleaning and repairs to the oak and mahogany floor and classical architectural features have refreshed the space. Hundreds of square metres of plaster were cleaned and repaired to restore the yellow and gold ornamentation and the re-gilded balcony.

In 1971 the first Starbucks at Pike Place Market was founded by Gerald Baldwin, Gordon Bowker and Zev Siegl. The company was named after the helmsman Starbuck from the novel "Moby Dick". The name was intended to recall the seafaring romance and tradition of the first coffee traders. Since 1996 the concept has been conquering the whole world and Starbucks was different from other companies from the very beginning - a company that not only celebrates coffee and its rich tradition but also the feeling of togetherness. Starbucks' mission is to inspire and empower people in every environment - cup after cup, coffee drinker after coffee drinker.
With more than 15,000 coffee houses in 50 countries, Starbucks is today the largest roaster and supplier of specialty coffees in the world. And with every cup, we strive to bring our heritage and extraordinary experiences to life.

CRESTVIEW HILLS, Ky. (April 11, 2019) — Thomas More University Choral Activities will present "Cathedral Classics," their spring concert, on Sunday, May 5 from 7:30 – 8:30 p.m. at Blessed Sacrament Parish in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky.
"We are very excited to present this program of sacred music with the TMU Concert Choir, TMU Chamber Choir, and St. Timothy's Episcopal Church Choir in the wonderful sanctuary of Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church," said Director of Choral Activities Daniel Parlsey.
Student and voice faculty soloists from the University will be also performing during the evening concert. General admission is $5 and TMU students gain free admission with a valid student ID. Doors open at 7 p.m.
Parsley joined TMU in January 2018 as a professor before taking on the full-time role of director of choral activities this past December. Prior to the University, he served as the worship arts coordinator and director of choral activities at Faith United Methodist in North Canton, Ohio and participated in ethnomusicological research in West African musical traditions, becoming a published research fellow in Ghana through the Edward Brueggeman Center for Dialogue. Most recently, Parsley served as the assistant director and choral conducting fellow for the Cincinnati May Festival, where he prepared choruses for the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and Cincinnati Pops.
In addition to his work at TMU, Parsley enjoys an active career in the Midwest as a conductor, scholar, church musician, clinician, and professional chorister. He is currently the music in worship chair for the Ohio Choral Directors Association and serves as director of music at St. Timothy Episcopal Church in Cincinnati, associate conductor for Cincinnati's Music Sacra, and faculty for the Kentucky Institute of International Studies Salzburg study abroad program. He's an active member of the American Choral Directors Association, ChorusAmerica, American Guild of Organists, and the National Association for Music Education.
A Cincinnati native, Parsley is currently enrolled in the Doctor of Musical Arts in choral conducting program at the University of Cincinnati-College Conservatory of Music. His previous education includes a Master of Music in choral conducting from Bowling Green State University and a Bachelor of Music in voice performance and Bachelor of Art in international studies from Xavier University.
Parsley has studied conducting under Robert Porco, Brett Scott, Earl Rivers, Mark Munson, and Tom Merrill, and has appeared in recent conducting masterclasses with Duain Wolf, John Alexander, David Hayes, Eric Whitacre, Rodney Eichenberger, and Cesar Leal. His passion for choral arts extends beyond conducting. He has performed with many choruses himself as a professional singer, including the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus, Cincinnati May Festival Chorus and Youth Chorus, Toledo Opera, Tuscia Opera Festival in Viterbo, Italy, and the Berkshire Choral Festival. As a conductor of symphonic choral literature, Parsley has most recently prepared choruses for John Morris Russell, Gerhardt Zimmermann, James Meena, and GiordanoBellincampi.
In March, Parsley was selected as one of four finalists for the 2019 American Choral Directors Association National Graduate Conducting Competition, the premiere professional choral organization in North America. The competition was held in Kansas City and occurs every two years. Parsley was selected out of hundreds of applicants across the country. He was named a semifinalist in January and advanced as one of four finalists in the competition held during the 2019 National Conference.

MOHAVE DAILY NEWS
Taking flight: Young Eagles Soar Over Tri-State Skies
An open house at an airpark means flying is part of the celebration.
"It's the first time I've done this," said Joseph Meister, 11. "I'm nervous but excited."
Meister joined the aviation community Saturday during Sun Valley Airport's fourth annual open house. As part of the celebration, members of the airpark's Experimental Aircraft Association chapter provided free airplane rides to children between the ages of 8 and 17.
Representing aviation enthusiasts, the EAA is an international organization that promotes and supports recreational flying. The EAA's Young Eagle program is designed to grow participation in general aviation through inspiring young people to learn to fly, said Jim Lambert, owner of Sun Valley Airport.
"We've got pilots and we've got planes," Lambert said. "Our goal is to introduce flying to young people and encourage an interest in a career in aviation."
To help the organization with its mission, five volunteer EAA pilots took children on a 15 to 20 minute tour along the west side of the Colorado River and south and east across the desert.
"Each Young Eagle gets a certificate and a log book," Lambert said. The organization also gives each child who completes a flight additional opportunities to participate in aviation, including a free online ground school.
"We do it because it's fun," said John Kish, an EAA pilot who gave rides in his 1961 Cessna 182. "To introduce kids to flying — it's a wonderful thing. I really enjoy seeing the look on their faces and the excitement of their first flight."
In addition to the EAA, representatives from the Civil Air Patrol, Flight Training, and Air Methods were on hand, as was information from The Ninety-Nines, an international organization of women pilots established in 1929.
"The best part of these events is the questions from the kids," said Charles Andrews, Air Methods helicopter pilot, who along with a Native American Air Ambulance and crew landed their crafts at the airpark to take part. "Although sometimes they are smarter than I am. But events like these introduce kids to what's out there; they learn they can go to a local flight school and get trained and (it) makes them aware that becoming a pilot — or a flight paramedic or nurse — is a very achievable goal."
Some of the children who make the trek to an EAA Young Eagles event already have an interest in aviation, Andrews said.
"Some of them already know someone who flies," Andrews said. "Their parent or an uncle or someone in their life is involved in aviation and they decide they want it, too. But even kids who don't have a pilot in the family can get excited about a career in aviation through events like these."
Andrews told his grandmother he wanted to be a helicopter pilot when he was 3 years old — his father was a pilot.
"To inspire some kid to be a pilot would be a great thing," he said.
Since the EAA began in 1992, more than 2 million children across the country have taken a free flight.
"We're introducing aviation to our future pilots," said Stan Gatewood, Sun Valley Airport EAA member.
Sun Valley Airport, 7 miles south of Bullhead City at 5050 Bison Ave., is a privately owned airport open to the public, Lambert said. An airpark community, it also offers the opportunity for pilots to build a home and hanger near the airstrip.
Pilots who live in the airpark community are not the only pilots using the airstrip; private aircraft pilots take off and land at will. The airstrip offers a pilots lounge, fuel, courtesy car rental arrangements and short and long-term plane storage. Recently installed amenities include new landing lights and the construction of 12 new hangers.
"Many people don't know we're here, although the airstrip was paved back in the mid-1980s," Lambert said. "We all love flying and planes and welcome the opportunity to share that with others."

Ed Ratcliffe comments on Nissan developments and the impact of the Japan-EU FTA.
The EU-Japan FTA is a tangible representation of what the UK stands to miss out on post-Brexit – a comprehensive deal with a major economy, on a platter. The UK will benefit from the FTA for a minimum of 57 days should no deal occur, a couple of years if a deal is reached, or potentially permanently if the UK has a much closer relationship.
The entry into force of the FTA on 1 February 2019 gives Japanese car manufacturers access to the EU market. Dubbed the "cars-for-cheese" deal, the moniker implies the deal would not have been that good for the UK – the UK produces Japanese cars for the European market, and cheese (and by implication, other high-end agriculture products) is not as important to the UK as some other EU member states. However, the deal is incredibly far-reaching and it is unlikely that the UK will be able to improve on the high bar the EU has been able to set due to its market size, especially in difficult areas that are crucial to the UK such as services.
In the context of the recent Nissan announcements, the deal was not necessarily supportive of Japanese car manufacturing in the UK. However, given the combination of Brexit – which could cut off the EU market from UK manufacturing bases, and the FTA – which opens up new Japan-EU trade options, it is hardly surprising Nissan is paring-down its commitment to the UK, joining the hundreds of jobs, contracts, companies, headquarters, and unmeasurable growth opportunities.
Certainly the immediate and long-term uncertainty of Brexit is causing companies such as Nissan to reconsider their commitment to the UK, but there are other aspects to consider. The X-Trail is a diesel car – now much less attractive to produce for the European market given the recent war on diesel in the UK and declining tolerance in Europe. As mentioned, the EU-Japan FTA makes it more convenient to import Japanese-made cars to the EU directly, reducing one of the main drivers of having production in the EU anywhere at all, as long as global freight prices remain reasonable. It is also worth mentioning the current internal issues Nissan is facing with the arrest of its Chairman and CEO Carlos Ghosn at the end of last year, events which have unknown consequences on investment decisions.
As usual, the picture is more complex, but Brexit, the FTA, consumer and market dynamics are creating a perfect storm for Nissan in the UK.

Blog > Two trade mark questions to be clarified in Europe
A revealing discussion of the Interflora Adwords case at the recent Fordham IP Conference is a reminder that English judges have unfinished business at the CJEU
There was much food for thought once again at the Fordham IP Conference, held this year in Cambridge, UK, last week. It was a particular pleasure to moderate once again a discussion on recent trade mark developments in the EU, which covered numerous recent cases as well as (in what was apparently a first for Fordham) a presentation on passing off by Mr Justice Charleton of the Supreme Court of Ireland.
It fell to Professor Spyros Maniatis to summarise the Interflora AdWords saga – he had roughly one minute for every year of the litigation (and as the computer screen ticked down to zero, I was counting every second).
Maniatis discussed the development of trade mark law on keyword advertising in both the US and EU and then focused on the grounds on which the Court of Appeal reversed the first instance judge in Interflora and (highly unusually) ordered a retrial.
These were (1) that the judge had wrongly held that the onus of proving that there is no risk of confusion in cases such as this lies on the third-party advertiser rather than the trade mark owner, and (2) that he had introduced the "unnecessary and potentially misleading gloss" of initial interest confusion from US law.
It so happened (as is often the case at Fordham) that there was someone intimately acquainted with the case in the second row of the audience: on this occasion, Mr Justice Arnold, the first instance judge whose opinion was overturned by the Court of Appeal.
In an intervention, Arnold commented on both the burden of proof and initial interest confusion.
Regarding the former, he pointed to his recent decision in Supreme Petfoods where he discussed in detail the CJEU case law on infringement under Article 5(1)(a) of the Directive and in particular the condition that the alleged infringing sign "must affect, or be liable to affect, one of the functions of the trade mark".
As he put it with typical understatement in that opinion, this condition "gives rise to considerable difficulty in understanding and applying the law". Despite a string of CJEU cases, it is unclear who bears the burden of proving this condition is met. Is it the trade mark owner, or the defendant, or some combination of both, and does it depend on the type of case or which function is affected?
In Supreme Petfoods, Arnold (left) concluded that a CJEU reference was clearly needed "preferably sooner rather than later" but was not necessary in that particular case.
On the second point, regarding initial interest confusion, Arnold was robust in the face of the Court of Appeal's criticism, noting that it is "an inescapable fact" of European trade mark law (going back at least to L'Oreal v eBay) that you can infringe a trade mark merely by placing an advertisement.
As he argued: does that not amount a doctrine of initial interest confusion?
The Interflora baton has now been passed to Mr Justice Birss (who gave a judgment refusing an interim injunction in December last year). Both parties still seem to have a hearty appetite for this litigation (and, judging from some of the costs numbers mentioned in court hearings, bottomless wallets). So further developments are expected. (For a tongue-in-cheek illustration of the ups and downs on this litigation so far, see our snakes-and-ladders graphic).
Whether it's in Interflora or another case, it seems that these two questions will be heading to Luxembourg for further clarification before too long.

Der Palast des Sardars war die Residenz des Khanats Jerewan. Heute steht das Weingut der Jerewaner Brandy-, Wein- und Schnapsfabrik Ararat auf dem Gelände des Palastes.

Der Palast wurde 1819 vollendet. Viele Inschriften sind aus dem vorherigen Jahrhundert und bestehen aus Zitaten persischer Gedichte oder Lobgedichten auf Feth-Ali-Schah und den letzten Sardar, Hussein-Kuli-Chan. Die Palast-Moschee ist mit einer langen Inschrift verziert, in welcher die Elegie Muchtaschems auf die Morde in Kerbela wiedergegeben ist.

In den 1850er Jahren kamen an den restaurierten Palast vier große (1 m × 2 m) Öl-Porträts des aserbaidschanischen Künstlers Mirza Kadim Erivani.

ARE YOU by any chance into keeping physically fit? Did you ever join a fitness club? Did you waste your exorbitant membership by only visiting it once or twice early in the New Year because you lost the resolve of your New Year resolution? If so, there isn't much we can do to help.
But if the body and spirit were willing but the credit card said no, we can show you a cheaper way to get fit and keep fit. It seems a lot of people are discovering it.
The Gym Group was founded in 2007 by its current CEO John Treharne and floated on the Official List in November 2015. It's the UK's second-biggest operator of low-cost gyms, the biggest being Pure Gym. By raising a net £81m for the company's expansion, presumably it hopes to steal a march on its bigger rival, in revenge for Pure Gym stealing a march in 2015 by snapping up all of the gyms owned by LA Fitness.
In 2014, The Gym Group did actually attempt to take over the privately-owned Pure Gym, but abandoned the takeover after it was referred to the Competition and Markets Authority.
As at flotation, it had approximately 66 gyms and 363,000 members across the UK. It now has 89 of them, and nearly 450,000 members.
After five years of losses it moved decisively into the black last year, as the following track record shows.
It provides health and fitness facilities in purpose-built gyms. The facilities include Myride indoor cycling and around-the-clock video-link pilates, yoga, dance and aerobics classes within its separate studio rooms. It offers induction and exercise program, showering and changing facilities, lockers, free group exercise classes, free in-gym music and WiFi and parking. And it offers a Fit For Work corporate scheme.
So what is The Gym Group doing that's different from most of the rest of the industry?
Perhaps the two main standout features are that its gyms are open around the clock, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. And there's no annual contract. Members can terminate their membership and re-join at any time, without notice and without penalty.
It offers two types of multi-site membership, Twin and Bundle. The Twin membership allows members to access to two gyms for an additional monthly fee. The Bundle membership offers access to gyms across the nation for an additional monthly fee. It also offers student discounts to National Union of Students (NUS) Extra card holders.
In 2015, there were more than 6,300 health and fitness clubs in the UK, with around 8 million members. The penetration rate of low-cost gyms is only about 3% – but the membership of low-cost gyms is growing at a compound annual growth rate of 60% (albeit from a low base), suggesting that there is a lot of demand for the sort of flexibility that The Gym offers.
Indeed, according to a 2015 Mintel Report, the top two barriers to using health and fitness clubs (as of May 2015) were the high cost of membership fees (57% of respondents) and not wanting to be tied to a long contract (31% of respondents). So The Gym's offering should be right up their street.
At first glance, the shares appear to be over-extended, being on an eye-watering p/e of 32 for this year. But 32 is not, of itself, high or low. It depends on the rate of earnings growth. The Gym's rate of growth, if the forecasts (right) are correct is 24.4% this year and 27.1% next. It's the PEGs that tell us whether the p/e ratio is excessive or not relative to its growth rates. Ideally, we like PEGs to be below 1. In this case, The Gym's are 1.2 this year and next. That's a little above what we like to pay, but not much.
Furthermore, its strategy is to open 15-20 gyms a year over the medium term; effectively the cloning of a successful concept. In the case of cloning, it's reasonably safe to look ahead further than next year. Where will earnings by in 3, 4 or 5 years. If we think that they will be a lot higher than now, then we can justify buying shares on a PEG of greater than 1 (within reason).
As with any investment, there are risks, however good the proposition seems. There doesn't seem to be anything fundamentally wrong with The Gym Group's business model; so perhaps the biggest danger is that the management will over-extend the company. It that case, the shares will be punished. But we're betting that won't happen.
BUY (212.25p; forecast yield: 0.6%; market capitalisation: £268.7 million; initial stop-loss: 408p; EPIC: GYM; sector: Hotels & Entertainment Services; classification: FTSE SmallCap; website: www.tggplc.com; tel: n/a).

Q: Not calling event when attached with addEventListener I'm trying to make a function that counts how many characters left. I want to use addEvenetListener to listen for event types:

var output = document.getElementById('output');
 var tweetTxt = document.getElementById("tweettext");
 var charCount = 10;
 var tweetTxt = document.getElementById("tweettext");

 function textCounter(){
  console.log("it works");
  var count = charCount - document.getElementById("tweettext").value.length;

  if(count < 0){
   output.classList.add("red");
   output.classList.remove("black");
   console.log("Less than zero");
  }else{
   output.classList.add("black");
   output.classList.remove("red");
  }
  output.innerHTML = count + " characters left";
 }

  tweetTxt.addEventListener('onKeyDown', textCounter, false);
  tweetTxt.addEventListener('onKeyUp', textCounter, false);
  tweetTxt.addEventListener('onChange', textCounter, false);

   <textarea name="tweettext" id="tweettext">

   </textarea>

For some reason, this is not working. But when I attach listeners to <textarea> element it works :

  var output = document.getElementById('output');
 //var tweetTxt = document.getElementById("tweettext");
 var charCount = 10;
 var tweetTxt = document.getElementById("tweettext");

 function textCounter(){
  console.log("it works");
  var count = charCount - document.getElementById("tweettext").value.length;

  if(count < 0){
   output.classList.add("red");
   output.classList.remove("black");
   console.log("Less than zero");
  }else{
   output.classList.add("black");
   output.classList.remove("red");
  }
  output.innerHTML = count + " characters left";
 }

 /* tweetTxt.addEventListener('onKeyDown', textCounter, false);
  tweetTxt.addEventListener('onKeyUp', textCounter, false);
  tweetTxt.addEventListener('onChange', textCounter, false); */

   <textarea name="tweettext" id="tweettext" onKeyUp="textCounter();" onKeyDown="textCounter();" onChange="textCounter();">

   </textarea>

So, what am I doing wrong with addEvenetListener way above?

A: When you want to attach event using addEventListener, Do not use the "on" prefix. For example you should use like keydown instead of OnKeyDown.
 tweetTxt.addEventListener('keydown', textCounter, false);
 tweetTxt.addEventListener('keyup', textCounter, false);
 tweetTxt.addEventListener('change', textCounter, false);

DEMO
Note: The addEventListener() method is not supported in Internet Explorer 8 and earlier versions.

A: Just simply change the event name on your code to this:

var output = document.getElementById('output');
var charCount = 10;
var tweetTxt = document.getElementById("tweettext");

function textCounter(){
  console.log("it works");
  var count = charCount - document.getElementById("tweettext").value.length;

  if(count < 0){
    output.classList.add("red");
    output.classList.remove("black");
    console.log("Less than zero");
  }else{
    output.classList.add("black");
    output.classList.remove("red");
  }
  output.innerHTML = count + " characters left";
}

tweetTxt.addEventListener('keydown', textCounter, false);
tweetTxt.addEventListener('keyup', textCounter, false);
tweetTxt.addEventListener('change', textCounter, false);

      <textarea style="width: 100%" name="tweettext" id="tweettext" rows="10"></textarea>

However, you added 3 events to one element, it will fires at least 3 times. When you type something, each character typed fires 2 events. Key down and key up. When you lost focus on textarea, the change event fires.
My suggestion is simple, use keyup or keydown event, along with additional conditions to check if user is typing valid characters (not pressing esc key, function keys etc.). If you do not need the count to be live, use change event.
There is another event you can attach to it to replace keyup, keydown.

tweetTxt.addEventListener('input',function(e){
  // yourcode
});

Good luck.

Ahead of U.S. sanctions, German exports to Iran soar
German exports to Iran soared in October, a month before the United States re-instated sanctions on the Islamic Republic to choke its oil and shipping industries, data seen by Reuters showed on Tuesday.
The surge signals willingness among Germany's small to medium-sized firms, or Mittelstand, to continue doing business with Iran despite the risk of being blacklisted by the United States for defying its sanctions.
Official figures by the Federal Statistics Office reveal that German goods exported to Iran totalled almost 400 million euros in October, a year-on-year surge of 85 percent and the highest monthly volume since 2009.
US President Donald Trump re-imposed sanctions on Iran on Nov. 5 after he abandoned a 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers. He said the sanctions seek to cripple Iran's oil-dependent economy and force it to abandon its nuclear ambitions and ballistic missile program and halt support for militant proxies in Syria, Yemen, and Lebanon.
Around 1,000 German Mittelstand companies have business ties to Iran and 130 have set up branches in the country. Multi-national companies, including German engineering giant Siemens, have pulled out of Iran, fearing US sanctions.
Mittelstand companies provided most of the exports to Iran, Michael Tockuss of the German-Iranian Chambers of Commerce and Industry said. Chemicals made up about half the German goods; machines and plant equipment accounted for a third.
Tockuss said Mittelstand companies exporting to Iran were taking a calculated risk, believing US sanctions are aimed at hindering big projects in key sectors like banking and shipping.
"Our American friends are keeping an eye on vital sectors like banking, insurance, shipping and telecommunications," Tockuss said. "They are taking a tough approach toward big companies and key sectors."
That is why the Chambers of Commerce expects exports to Iran to continue growing. They grew by 4 percent to 2.4 billion euros in the first 10 months of this year, and Tockuss said he expects monthly export volumes to average 200 million to 250 million euros a month next year.
The European Union intends to establish a system to facilitate non-dollar trade with Iran and circumvent U.S. sanctions. It wants the so-called special-purpose vehicle (SPV) to help preserve the economic benefits for Iran deriving from the curbs it put on its nuclear program under the 2015 deal.
France and Germany are now due to take responsibility for the SPV. But EU diplomats have said its ambitions could be scaled back to encompass only less-sensitive items, such as humanitarian and food products, rather than oil.
Israel and the United States are opposed to continued trade with Iran. They say Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which has a vast stake in the local economy, would use the windfall from trade to finance hostile military activities in the Middle East.
"We hope that all companies are aware that there is a risk that profit from this trade in goods could be misused," said an Israeli embassy spokeswoman.
The US embassy in Berlin had no immediate comment.

VIDEO Guide To Vizio's Android Tablet At CE Week NY
by Kyle Updated June 23, 2011
We took a little time with the upcoming Vizio tablet at CE Week NY. What we found is that it's a solid Android tablet and a great universal remote control with endless possibilities.
The Vizio tablet comes in a unique 8″ form factor. One of the best parts of this tablet is the ability to use the integrated IR blaster to control just about every remote controlled device in your house. To make it even better it allows you to store multiple profiles in the remote control app. Have one profile for the living room with your big LCD screen tv, stereo system and set top box. Go into your bedroom and the Vizio tablet knows that there's a smaller tv and a blu ray player in there.
But the Vizio tablet is by far from just a remote control. Since it's using Android 2.3 instead of Android 3.0 Honeycomb, it has access to over 230,000 apps in the Android market. Via wifi you have access to the same Android experience you're used to from Gingerbread.
More after the break
Vizio has also rebuilt the UI from the ground up giving users of Vizio equipment a similar look and feel as they break into the tablet world.
The other unique thing about the Vizio tablet is its speaker layout. The Vizio tablet features top speakers in both portrait and landscape view. Their speaker system allows for a stereo listening experience no matter what way you hold the tablet. As Vizio points out a lot of tablets have the speakers at the bottom which takes away from the tablet experience.
The best part is that the Vizio tablet will cost you only $349 and it's going to be available at Vizio retail locations including Best Buy, Sam's Club, Costco, Amazon and many more.

With Time Travel, Apple Watch owners could rotate the digital crown to see what happened in the past or future appointments. But Apple appears set to kill the feature in watchOS 5.
The latest beta version of watchOS 5 for Apple's smartwatches was released last week, and developers are noticing that Time Travel seems to have disappeared completely from the Apple Watch operating system.
Introduced with watchOS 2 in 2016, Time Travel allowed for Apple Watch time shifts. Depending on the watch face chosen and the complications enabled, the digital crown could be turned clockwise or counter-clockwise to perform a time shift. This was useful for seeing future appointments, weather forecasts, or reminders about what happened yesterday.
As AppleInsider reports, developers discovered Time Travel is gone because the toggle to turn it on no longer appears as a settings option in watchOS 5. Time Travel is turned off by default, which clearly didn't aid its popularity, but now it seems to be gone forever.
App developers were allowed to tap into the Time Travel feature and use it. A number of Watch faces also supported the feature with animations to help show the time shifts as they happened. With Time Travel disappearing, it may be possible for the functionality to be retained, but up to app developers to figure out how to re-implement it.
As to why Apple is dropping Time Travel, it could be the feature simply wasn't very popular, or it could be that Apple saw an opportunity to implement something else that wouldn't work if Time Travel continued to be an option.
I'm sure we'll find out the official reason when watchOS 5 launches, which is meant to happen in the fall. Also note that this will be the first version of watchOS to not support the first-generation Apple Watch.

Did MRSA emerge before the introduction of methicillin?
Antimicrobial Resistance, Genetics / Genomics
Authors: Martha Powell, Future Science Group
Strains of MRSA may have emerged long before methicillin was introduced into clinical practice, according to new research published in Genome Biology. The study reports that resistance in Staphylococcus aureus may have emerged as a result of widespread use of earlier antibiotics, as opposed to methicillin use.
MRSA was first observed in 1960, less than one year after the introduction of methicillin into clinical practice, and has since been considered a pressing public health issue. The team, including researchers from the University of St. Andrew's (UK) and the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (Cambridge, UK), therefore aimed to uncover the origins of MRSA and its evolutionary history.
First author, Catriona Harkins (University of Dundee, UK) commented: "Within a year of methicillin being first introduced to circumvent penicillin resistance, strains of S. aureus were found that were already resistant to methicillin. In the years that followed resistance spread rapidly in and outside of the UK. Five decades on from the appearance of the first MRSA, multiple MRSA lineages have emerged which have acquired different variants of the resistance gene."
The researchers sequenced the genomes of 209 historical S. aureus isolates, the oldest of which was identified over 50 years ago. They then applied Bayesian phylogenetic reconstruction in order to infer the time point at which this early MRSA lineage appeared.
The team discovered that S. aureus acquired the gene conferring methicillin resistance, mecA, as early as the 1940s – over 14 years prior to the first clinical use of methicillin. In addition, they observed genes in the historical isolates that conferred resistance to other antibiotics in addition to decreasing susceptibility to disinfectants.
Author, Matthew Holden, from the University of St Andrews, explained: "Our study provides important lessons for future efforts to combat antibiotic resistance. It shows that new drugs which are introduced to circumvent known resistance mechanisms, as methicillin was in 1959, can be rendered ineffective by unrecognized, pre-existing adaptations in the bacterial population. These adaptations happen because – in response to exposure to earlier antibiotics – resistant bacterial strains are selected instead of non-resistant ones as bacteria evolve."
This study suggests that methicillin may not have been the driving factor in the evolution of MRSA; instead it could have been widespread use of earlier antibiotics such as penicillin. This research highlights how novel drugs could be rendered ineffective by unknown mutations created by the use of other antibiotics.
Holden concluded: "S. aureus has proven to be particularly adept at developing resistance in the face of new antibiotic challenges, rendering many antibiotics ineffective. This remains one of the many challenges in tackling the growing problem of antimicrobial resistance. In order to ensure that future antibiotics retain their effectiveness for as long as possible, it is essential that effective surveillance mechanisms are combined with the use of genome sequencing to scan for the emergence and spread of resistance."

Cineworld Group plc Record-breaking performance over past three weeks driven by Avengers
Posted by: Charlotte Edwards 15th May 2019
Cineworld Group plc (LON:CINE), one of the world's leading cinema groups, announces its trading update for the period 1 January 2019 to 12 May 2019.
· Group trading in line with our expectations
· As anticipated, revenue performance softer during the period due to the difference in timing of major releases
· Opened four new sites during the period with Regal refurbishment and integration programme progressing well
· Record-breaking performance over past three weeks driven by Avengers: Endgame with strong film slate scheduled for remainder of the year
· Unlimited scheme set to launch soon in the US
· The Group is on track to perform in line with our expectations for the year
Pro-forma(1) revenue movements for the year were as follows:
Actual ($)
Constant Currency(2) ($)
Group(1)
US(1)
ROW(3)
(1) Pro-forma results reflect the Group and US performance had Regal been consolidated for the entirety of the period from 1 January 2018. For the purposes of percentage movements, the same comparative period has been applied.
(2) Constant currency movements have been calculated by applying the 2019 average exchange rates to the 2018 performance.
(3) ROW is defined as Rest of the World and includes Poland, Romania, Hungary, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Slovakia and Israel.
As expected, the box office performance for the reported period was slower than the comparative period in 2018 reflecting the difference in the timing of major releases. The 2018 comparative period included "Black Panther" and "Avengers: Infinity War", the top grossing films of the year, as well as the carryover of "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" and "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" which were released in late 2017.
Over the past three weeks, all markets have seen a record performance driven by record-breaking "Avengers: Endgame" which has grossed over $2.5bn globally to date.
A strong line up of films is expected for the remainder of the first half, including "Pokémon Detective Pikachu", "Aladdin", "Godzilla: King of the Monsters", "The Secret Life of Pets 2", "X-Men: Dark Phoenix", "Men In Black: International" and "Toy Story 4".
During the period, as part of the Group's proactive approach to estate management, four new sites (60 screens) were opened, one in Bulgaria and three in the US including Essex, our new 14-screen multiplex in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Our selective site closure programme continued and we closed six of the Group's sites during the period, all in the US. This brings the total number of sites in the Group as at 12 May 2019 to 788 with 9,503 screens.
The refurbishment and integration plans for Regal are progressing well and management is reviewing further opportunities. We have now signed over 30 agreements with landlords for several strategic sites to be refurbished in the US.
Investment in the latest technology continues to be a key pillar of the Group's strategy. During the period, the Group opened 9 ScreenX and 10 4DX across the estate. We also recently opened the extension of our London cinema at The O2. It is now the largest cinema in London with 19 screens and 4,500 seats and offers ScreenX, 4DX, ViP and Superscreen formats making it one of the UK's most technologically advanced cinemas.
The Group remains on track to deliver a full year performance in line with our expectations. There is a strong film slate for the second half of 2019 including "Spider-Man: Far From Home", "The Lion King", "Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw", "It: Chapter Two", "Joker", "Maleficent: Mistress of Evil", "Terminator: Dark Fate", "Frozen 2", "Jumanji 3" and "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker".
The Company is also pleased to announce the signing and completion of a $286.3m sale and leaseback of 17 US cinemas. The details of this transaction are provided in a separate announcement released today.
Mooky Greidinger, Chief Executive Officer of Cineworld Group plc, commented:
"The relatively slow start to the year in the first four months has come as no surprise as the comparative period in 2018 was extremely strong; Avengers Endgame was always set to be the beginning of real strength in this year's slate. The record breaking results of this latest Avengers movie prove the undisputed power of the theatrical business and its popularity around the globe.
Our strategy is unchanged and its implementation continues, with an exciting refurbishment programme, further installation of new technologies (an additional 40 4DX and 40 ScreenX auditoriums to be up and running by December), and our pioneering Unlimited scheme set to launch soon in the US.
We are confident that the strong film release line up in the balance of the year, which includes highly commercial titles, such as "Lion King", "Frozen 2", and the most anticipated movie of them all "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" will enable us to achieve results which meet our expectations for the full year."
The interim results for the six months to 30 June 2019 will be announced on Thursday 8 August 2019.

Bryn Mawr Classical Review
Rana Saadi Liebert, Tragic Pleasure from Homer to Plato. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2017. Pp. ix, 218. ISBN 9781107184442. $99.99.
Reviewed by Clément Bertau-Courbières, Université de Toulouse (clement.bertau@laposte.net)
Version at BMCR home site
This is one of a growing number of studies on Greek aesthetics published in the last decade. The aim of Liebert's book is to resolve a classic paradox in the field of ancient aesthetics, namely the pleasure taken in tragedy, and more widely the mimetics of painful emotions. This issue was significant enough in ancient Greece for Plato and Aristotle to address it at length. It has since been a standard problem in Europe that many philosophers and thinkers have tried to resolve. Being human and rational, how is it possible for us to feel pleasure at others' misfortunes? Is this ethical, acceptable or even beneficial? In Plato's Republic, the Muse is finally exiled from the ideal city, and in Aristotle's Poetics the mimesis theory partly relies on the famous but equally arcane notion of catharsis. However, the argument presented here refutes this traditional (and mainly Aristotelian) response and at the same time gets away from Kant's legacy. According to Liebert, there are no differences in archaic poetry between real and mimetic experiences of tragic pleasure. So then, to understand this "tragic pleasure", the author goes back to the Homeric epic and mostly follows Plato's philosophy to stress a "psychosomatic model of aesthetic engagement".
In the introduction, the author presents her central argument as follows. The tragic pleasure at stake is a "satisfaction of a subrational appetite for grief", a satisfaction that, according Liebert, the hero Odysseus, for example, seeks to obtain while listening to Demodocos on the Phaeacian island – a reading first made in Peponi's book.1 But, as we shall remember, Odysseus is secretly crying like a woman when listening to the bard. How can we explain his behaviour? Here, Liebert's objective is ambitious: she wants to refute a large part of contemporary aesthetic theory based on Aristotle. There is neither "aesthetic transformation" nor edifying dimension, the author argues, to explain the appeal of tragedy. Painful objects are pleasurable because "the pain itself, in art as in life, satisfies an unregulated appetite for affective intensity". At this point, Charles Altieri's conception of an aesthetic experience eluding any cognitive control – and therefore ethically neutral2 – serves as a keystone in Liebert's argument.
In chapter I, the author focuses on poetic pleasure as it appears in archaic poetry – mainly Homer, Archilochus, and Pindar. In her reading of the sources, she underlines the peculiar sweetness of this poetic pleasure and the gustatory dimension that accompanies it. The purpose of song is to provide pleasure, and many poems use a comparison with honey, desire, and love to evoke that function. But this irresistible pleasure is at the same time deceptive as it arouses an insatiable desire. For that reason, Liebert explains how a poet like Pindar has to perpetuate a "painful state of arousal" so as to maximize the pleasure and avoid its satiety (koros) in the audience. Thus, in underlining the somatic features of poetic pleasure, the author basically regards it in a platonic way as a mixed or impure pleasure. Any experience of pleasure involves pain, and the good poet has to deal with it to reach his goal and enchant the listeners.
In chapter II, the author proposes to unveil the source of pleasure in the mimetic context. To this end, two emotions (grief and anger) that affect Homeric heroes are analyzed. In Liebert's view, modern cognitivists have neglected the body, which is indeed central to the comprehension of the mimetic context. She goes on to demonstrate that anger and grief are a kind of addictions: they flourish even at the expense of well-being. Homeric poetry mentions more than once the "pleasure of tears". In the case of anger, Achilles' well-known comparison with honey helps to show the appetitive nature of the emotion. Given the nature of these "pathological" emotions, the author explains that pleasure in the mimetic context derives from the sympathetic identification of the audience. There is no transformation at all, but only persuasion and identification. Gorgias may have been the first to recognize this in ancient Greece, as the author argues. Starting from this point, Liebert employs Altieri's affective theory to explain this nonrational desire of painful emotions. Affective experiences are not ethically motivated: the emotions are desired for themselves, as a "mode of participation in the world".
In chapter III, the author goes back to Plato's Republic. The philosopher's view, she says, is precisely that mimesis offers a way of vicariously experiencing tragic emotions. Socrates claims in the Republic that poetry satisfies our "hunger for tears". That is one of the reasons Plato decided on the expulsion of the Muses. Mimetic poetry can promote painful affective states that become addictive. Few can see it, but the poet's work has absolutely no ethical utility and is therefore harmful to the body and the city. Moreover, poetry takes advantage of the seductive quality of poikilia (variety), the same poikilia that Pindar used to enchant his audience, and that Socrates knows to be suspect as a way towards lawless desires. In that sense, wanting to satisfy one's desire for pathological emotions is nothing else than threatening one's psychological harmony and its social conditions. In an Epilogue, Liebert recalls that Plato would offer an attentive ear to any defence of the Muse's utility in the city, and that Aristotle's defence of poetry could be found in the Poetics, and even more in the Politics. But in her discussion of this defence the author concludes that Aristotle fails to address Plato's most compelling charges against poetry, those based on psychological and social grounds.
Liebert's book is a thought-provoking study. Many poetic passages and fragments are given welcome new interpretations. Her argument is demanding and ultimately persuasive. Many ideas are well elaborated. Claiming that the appeal of painful emotions stands at the core of "aesthetic experiences" (and of human psychology) is quite bold but interesting. Nonetheless, one could ask for more details in the description and presentation of the problem addressed. What is "poetic pleasure" in an anthropological, historical, or psychological perspective? "Tragic pleasure" could have been defined in comparison with other kinds of pleasures – those evoked by Sappho, Mimnermus, or Theognis for example. There are a number of Greek words that refer to different positive affects, helping us to understand the Greek point of view. Another question is about the methodological choices that are made at the beginning. The author seems to think that most of modern cognitive psychology – a quickly developing field of study – goes in a wrong direction, because it does not recognize the reason/passion dichotomy any more: a statement of this kind appears a little schematic. We may feel sometimes that Liebert has, against this modern view, an overwhelming confidence in Plato's reading. We should not forget the historical gap between Homeric epic and the Athenian thinker. Plato condemns the Iliad and Odyssey for moral reasons, but the Homeric poems have an ethical basis that may have something to do with the "poetic pleasure" felt by the internal and external audiences. If Homeric epic had nothing to do with pedagogy, how do we explain Telemachus' decisive place in the Odyssey narrative? Most of the theoretical tools employed here come from literary criticism, philosophy and aesthetics, and the study at times lacks a historical perspective. For example, there are very few mentions of religion or of the religious dimension of poetry, and of Homeric poetry in particular, although this is certainly not an irrelevant issue when we try to understand the "mimetic context".
These comments do not diminish the high value of the work proposed here. Anyone interested in Greek aesthetics should read it and think about it. The volume is completed by a bibliography and a general index.

Supreme Court Really Doesn't Want Minorities Voting Early
On Monday, the Supreme Court decided to give democracy another Street Fighter-like kick to the jock. In yet another 5-4 vote split along ideological lines (or evil versus reasonable, if we're being blunt about it), the ruling delayed the state of early voting in Ohio that was set to begin on Tuesday. The move, which was objected to by each of the court's liberal justices, reversed a lower court's decision that blocked the state from reducing early voting from 35 to 28 days. Additionally, the federal appeals court ordered the restoration of some evening and Sunday voting that Ohio's state legislature eliminated.
RELATED: Early Voting: A State-By-State Breakdown
Still, the state argued that their new plan could not be seen as violating the rights of minority voters. Why? Well, the petition explained, "Ohio offers more early-voting options than 41 other states and the District of Columbia."
So basically, in the state of Ohio's mind, because they are less awful than less than 41 states and the District of Columbia with respect to early voting, we shouldn't call them out for their voter suppression efforts.
This is like saying I shouldn't be mad at the person who bumped in to me and made me drop my catfish sandwich on the ground because the cook gave me a cold piece anyway.
Moreover, Ohio argues that the new measures do "nothing more than maintain the same early voting rules that have governed the last four general elections in Ohio and which voters are currently expecting."
As USA Today notes, the justices invited the state to seek a full ruling on the merits of the case. Should the request be denied or if the state loses in court, the expanded hours would be restored — though not in time for this year's election.
Again, how convenient for a political side whose chances at winning elections are maximized when minorities don't show up at the polls.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit understood this in their ruling last Wednesday.
The New York Times reports:
The panel reasoned that cutting back on early voting at polling places placed a disproportionate burden on poor and Black voters.
The panel said it was mindful that Ohio allows voting by mail throughout the contested period. "The presence of vote by mail undoubtedly ameliorates some of the burdens on voting," Judge Karen Nelson Moore wrote for the panel. But she added that "African-Americans, lower-income individuals and the homeless are distrustful of the mail" or "would prefer to vote in person for unrelated reasons."
"Unrelated reasons," such as realizing that for a very, very, very long period in this country, Blacks were disenfranchised; therefore, being able to vote in person is honoring those who fought so ardently for our collective right to be treated as full citizens, which is a right Republicans across the country want to strip away.
Yes, sadly, the Ohio case is just one of many. There are efforts in Texas, Arkansas, and Wisconsin to impose photo ID requirements. In North Carolina, there are court cases based on cutting early voting, same-day registration, and provisional ballots. The Wisconsin case is said to be the next to hit the Supreme Court and already lower courts have ruled in favor of their proposed ID rules.
Should any of these other court cases make it to the Supreme Court — in its current formation — things will likely not look favorable for the voting rights of minorities, the working class, and the poor. But of course, when it comes the corporations, their rights must be upheld. Unfortunately, there are sadder days ahead until some of the right-leaning justices head for retirement, or you know, wherever else happens when your time is up.

In this longevity course we will first tackle the rules for determining infant fatality or early death. Following that we will cover the rules for determining length of life and time of death using Nakshatra dasas and Maraka "killer" Grahas. This will be drawn out course of which I will do one section at a time beginning with infant mortality and will conclude with instructions on using Varshaphala solar returns and trigger transits to predict the time of death.

Moylan the not-so accidental hero
Sat 22 Mar 2014, 08:09 PM
A lot happened between the 79th minute try to Kevin Naiqama and Matt Moylan's attempt at the game-winning goal against the Bulldogs on Saturday afternoon.
He had a 10-year veteran, Jamie Soward, walk up to him and say, "Take your time".
He also had to block thoughts of the 45-metre shot teammate Peter Wallace missed in the same situation last week, before the Panthers suffered a heart-breaking one-point loss to Melbourne.
Heck, he even had to put up with trainer Ronnie Palmer slap him on the backside and say, "Enjoy it".
But, as Moylan took the kicking tee and lined up the ball from the sideline, he probably never would've expected that his own captain was already be planning which direction to kick during golden point extra-time.
"I didn't know that," Moylan beamed after the game. "I was backing myself in to kick it. I didn't think we were going to golden point.
"When you're young, you always want to kick one of them goals. It just happened I got the chance, I had to think same as every other kick: 'Just kick it well'.
"And it went over."
Not bad for a second-year kid who was Ivan Cleary's third-choice option as goalkicker heading into 2014. With co-captain Peter Wallace hitting them pretty sweetly, and esteemed goalkicker Jamie Soward also on board, it was a duty Cleary thought the sweet-smiling assassin shouldn't have to burden.
But when Wallace pulled up lame with a groin injury on match-eve, and with Soward having issues with his back since getting off the plane from England, the 22-year-old screamed 'pick me' from the top of the mountains.
Panthers coach Ivan Cleary said he was confident his young charge was going to slot the game-winner.
"I've got to give Daryll Halligan a wrap here, he rang me the other day and said just so you know, Matty's kicking very well and he's raring to go," Cleary said.
"As it turned out, Peter Wallace got injured after training yesterday, so we didn't know for sure that he wasn't playing until midday today.
"Sowie hadn't been goalkicking because he's got a bad back. And yeah, Matty just, he was all over it. He really wanted to do it. That's always a good sign.
"Was I confident? Yep, I was."
With his halfback expected to return next week, and Soward seemingly recovering well from his back – he laid on the match-winning try for Naiqama with a three-man cut-out delivery – there's a chance Saturday's match-winner could be Moylan's last.
"...If I can take it off him," Cleary said. "He's been doing the work. That's important. Sometimes it's hard if you're a second string or third string kicker, there's a lot of guys that wouldn't do the work.
"But he's been doing it. He wants to be a kicker and he got an opportunity and he took it today."

Resident Evil – The Final Chapter Review – Enough to please the die-hard fans
byRick Austin
Tags: Movie Review
It's been over four years since the last Resident Evil film left fans with a cliffhanger, but has it been worth the wait? We review Resident Evil – The Final Chapter.
Our constant heroine, Alice, awakens in the ruins of Washington, D.C., having been betrayed (as usual) by Albert Wesker. She's soon contacted by the Red Queen – the evil Umbrella Corporation's artificial intelligence system – and told that she needs to return to where the zombie apocalypse first started: The Hive, back in Raccoon City. It seems that there's a possible cure to the T-virus, and it's up to Alice to make sure that it's released into Earth's atmosphere.
Of course, nothing is ever that easy. Alice is on a deadline to get there before Umbrella's Dr. Isaacs does. Along the way, she encounters her old friend Claire Redfield and millions of zombies, as well as revisiting some familiar laser-protected corridors and learning the truth behind the Umbrella Corporation…
Over the years, the quality of this film series has been all over the place. The original was disappointing, whilst the second film got it right. The third was painfully bad, whilst the fourth was solid and the fifth had moments of creative genius, and traded on the nostalgia and knowledge of the fans.
In Resident Evil – The Final Chapter there are still plenty of action set-pieces and Milla Jovovich still delivers the goods as Alice, kicking ass and taking names as easily as most people eat breakfast cereal. It's good to see Claire back in the series again too, while the villainous Wesker does his standard routine of brooding and wearing sunglasses. The usual zombies and monsters rampage around, and it should all be standard fare by now. Unfortunately, it isn't.
The plots to these movies have always been a little thin, but here it's downright anorexic and there's a strange lack of emotional connection. Unlike the final films in other franchises, where they pull out all the stops to wrap things up, here it seems like a struggle. Without iconic characters like Chris Redfield, Ada Wong, Leon Kennedy and others returning, there's little sense of any sort of celebration of the series. Instead, we have the return of the bland Dr. Isaacs, who returns from that awful third film.
It's possible that there could have been a good film here, or at least a good film in terms of Resident Evil. After all, the last couple have been solid, and have given the fans what they wanted to see whilst still being original. It's obvious that they know the source material without being slaves to it. It's hard to tell if this film could have been good even as it is, though, because of one major problem:
The editing.
Thanks to the heavy-handed rapid-fire editing (presumably done in a bid to make it look more intense), it's a headache-inducing mess. The shaky-cam filming is one thing, but when almost every shot is shown for less than a second it becomes a jumbled disaster. Based on previous installments, it simply could have looked a whole lot better, and subsequently been a better film.
There's enough here to please the die-hard fans, but it's still a down-note to end on. Granted, Resident Evil – The Final Chapter will fit in next to all the others in a box set as the resolution of the series, and does achieve its goal in finishing the story arc. You'll just wish it were a celebration of the franchise, and not a final rusty nail in its coffin.

Re: What do you think of Baby Tracker? Let us know here!
What fun! I can't wait to hear everyone's comments!
Another great idea!!! Well done!!!
That's very cool. I used to get email updates when I was pregnant, and I liked seeing how my baby was developing.
I have used the baby sticker for potty training since my daughter is 6 months old.
We put a tailor-made board with her photo in the toilet and let her stick the sticker every time she use the potty for wee wee or poo poo.
It's definitely works for her, now she is 2 years old, and no more diaper since 1.5 years old.
Mine does not appear to be working. It doesn't show my child's growth chart data even though I've entered it.
I have installed already two times the baby tracker, one time several months ago and now. I think that idea is good but It doesn't work. It doesn't show information in the milestones or journal links. It is not useful as it is currently. I hope that you update it soon.
its really good and helpful. get lots of information about growing baby and changes on mom. but in that news feed same old thing always. no change. if that one update that will be really good .
I'm not a fan of it. It should have expected milestones and a milestone tracker.
