FILMMAKER(S)
Thinking Positive Canada 1993 Debbie McGee Another sensitive, thoughtful, and elegantly crafted film from home-grown McGee that speaks calmly to us of an alarming truth. Even in outports and relatively small Newfoundland communities, young people are vulnerable to becoming infected with HIV. The story centres on Trudy Parsons who was 20 when she contracted the virus, a young woman with the determination to show others that people like us do get it. The direct and candid way in which trudy and her friends discuss current social and personal views of sexuality makes for another stirring experience that inspires as much as it moves.
Out On A Limb: A Poem by Geraldine Chafe Rubia Canada 1993 Anita McGee The work centres around St. John's poet Gerry Rubia and her poem Out On A Limb and takes a whimsical look at physical disability in a way that's truly Gerry. The piece hopes to capture her spirit and sense of humor.
A Short History of Manners Canada 1993 Nancy Winsor This crowd pleasing film speaks for itself; the photogenically correct Lisa Porter appears as a jester, and other familiar faces that you've stood in line at Mary Jane's with appear in one well-mannered guise or another. you'll laugh, you'll hoot, and you'll say. gee. how did she do that?
The Good Olde Days On Signal Hill Canada 1993 Mary Walsh, Cathy Jones Do we really have to tell you that this is funny? Written and performed by CODCO--Cathy, Mary, Greg Malone and Tommy Sexton--this clever witty short produced for Parks Canada tells us something about the human history of Signal Hill. you've jogged it, walked it, necked and picniced on it, but I bet you've never seen it turned into an excuse for a game show. It's good, it's humorous, and it's ours. We rest our case.
The Ant and the Volcano Canada 1992 Céline Baril This charming visual narrative unfolds like a Chinese parable. 1997, the year of Hong Kong's return to Chinese government and the name of the restaurant run by a small Hong Kong family. Their goal: to take the earnings and run to a freer place in the world. The options: Canada, or Iceland. The Ant and the Volcano plays lightly and deftly touch with the seriously limited options facing families like this one. Baril cleverly places us in the position of appreciative spectators, recognizing the innocent ways in which choices must be made and the earth-shaking consequences that then follow.
Women's Story China 1998 Peng Xiaolian Like the structure of a classic fairytale, this feature drama begins with three peasant women who resolve to seek their risky fortune in the wider world. One is trapped in an all-female family; another is escaping an arranged marriage; and the other needs money to care for her husband's brothers and young son. Resisting the pressures of patriarchal Chinese culture is not easy, but adventures in Beijing teach these women things that they never dreamed possible.
Façade Canada 1992 Martyne Pagé Sort of a women's version of Rear Window, this film explores what happens when two female strangers begin to eye each other from their respective apartment windows. One a young Asian writer and the other a new tenant, they interact in inevitable ways like familiar strangers. We were caught by this film--after all, neighbour watching is as common as breathing in St. John's.
Me, Mom and Mona Canada 1993 Mina Shum Three members of the Shum family--a mother and two daughters-- candidly reveal the difficulties of being female and Chinese while dealing with their patriarchal husband and father, and the tired traditions of Chinese culture . As in all families, these women share blood and genetic history, but live their destinies differently.
Picturing Oriental Girls: A (Re)Educational Videotape USA 1992 Valerie Soe Geisha girls, dragon ladies, china dolls and Asian sex kittens that fill decades worth of American theatrical and television screens. When all of these mile-high piles of stereotypical representations of Oriental women are recontextualized in this film, the result is at once fresh and intriguing.
Return Home Canada 1992 Michelle Wong Chinese-Canadian filmmaker Michelle Wong explores her own identity, a culturally complicated one for a first-generation Canadian-born child. Uniquely revealing themes of displacement and gender-pressures, Michelle's return home to Alberta occasioned this film and the surprising discoveries of herself and her cultural past that followed from the project. The making of this film returns the director to questions that she never knew she wanted to ask in the first place.
Sin City Diary USA 1992 Rachel Rivera A woman's film about the lives of prostitutes who hang around the US Navy base at Subic Bay in the Philippines. As a Filipina American, filmmaker Rivera investigates her own uneasy relation to these women and the colonial culture which has kept them from dreaming about anything beyond life with G.I. Joe. This film lets women speak for themselves, persuading u at once of their strength and vulnerability. Powerful stuff.
A Matter of Choice Canada 1993 Francine Zuckerman Zukerman has skillfully and forcefully mixed documentary footage of a few decades of pro-choice work in this county with articulate talking heads. The result is engaging and affirming, a welcome refreshing relief from issue-centered video documentaries on victimization that tend to leave the spectator feeling like a used placard. A half hour after watching it you'll still feel like taking some political action.
My Left Cyst Canada 1993 Pat Barker This film is just as it sounds: a black-humored animated look into the unpleasant world of ovarian cysts. Who else but a woman would make such a film, or need to? You'll find yourself nodding at this film, especially the medical-profession-doesn't-deal-with-us-right part. The humor emerges from our all-too familiarity with the whole doctor and women biz, but the animation in itself is clever and appropriate. There's nothing here that even the squeamish can't handle.
Sunday With the Castro de Fuentes Canada 1993 Diana Vasquez A good, strong story for such a short amount of time. A quasi-documentary cinematic game of a day in the life of a Spanish family, as remembered by one of its female victims. Part autobiography, part parable, part home movie. This film as an exotic, experimental pull about it. Eventually you figure out the narrative cinematic puzzle, and the reward is a poignantly clever little film.
Personal Effects Canada 1992 Lori Spring This is a weird one. It's about 16-year old Alison who moves into a boarding house inhabited by strange men who apparently do bizarre things. Personal Effects is a tour de force, Canadian version. Let's put it this way...in male intuition stores, the boy discovers what it mean to be a man. In female initiation stories, the girl discovers difference. You'll be talking about this one over a pint afterwards, for sure.
Kanehsatake: 270 years of Resistance Canada 1993 Alanis Obomsawin A compellingly familiar documentary feature account of the 1990 78-day event that rattled in our Canadian backyard. Mohawk Indians squared off against the army for what seemed to be an unbearably explosive eternity. You've never seen footage from inside like this, nor have you witnessed the emotional intensity of such personal and devastatingly intense confrontations as shown here.
The Last Day of Chez Nous Australia 1990 Gillian Armstrong A co-sponsored feature with MUN Sunday Cinema Series, this wonderfully exploratory look at the lives of modern Australian women touches almost every social base, and then some. The terrific cast shows the ways we keep the home fires burning, even when we feel like burning down the home. through Kerry Fox's strong performance and Bruno Ganz's sensitive husband role, we follow the ambiguous triumphs of daily domestic and conjugal life. This movie will suck you right into the Southern Hemisphere, and you won't mind a bit.
Juggling Gender USA 1992 Tami Gold The title only tells half of the story. This video will make you squirm and laugh with uneasy recognition. Jennifer Miller is a lesbian circus director with some stuff on her chinny chin chin that gives new meaning to the term "being out", because when Jennifer's out, the whole world wants to know, what's the deal with her facial growth? Her answers to that question are witty and strong, forcing us to think at least twice about every assumption we have ever made about gender. Jennifer's story is wild and wooly enough to change every habit you ever culturally acquired.
Free Advice Canada 1990 Dawna Gallagher The bad news: This hammer-over-the-head right-between-the-eyes satirical video occasioned some major divisiveness on the Steering Committee, with one member insisting on screening it because she really liked it. The good news: it's only two and a half minutes long.
Thank God I'm A Lesbian Canada 1993 Laurie Colbert, Dominique Cardona Before all you straights run for the closet, let us assure you that this is a terrific richly textured documentary that celebrates diversity and choice. This award-winning made-in-Canada film looks at the wide ranging expressions of a number of lesbian women from artists, to academics and writers. There's as much difference among these women as there are lesbian identities on the planet. that's what really works here; the sheer pleasure of listening to such an inconclusive multi-voiced and honest range of expression. There's something energizing about a film that refuses to give you one totalizing point of view on a subject like this.
The Passion of Rita Camilleri Canada 1993 Valerie Buhagiar It would be a sin to reveal too much of this hauntingly graceful visual short story. We will tell you that Rita is eight years old, a maltese Canadian, and a Roman Catholic. She can see, among other visionary things, Jesus fly. You're on your own for the rest of it. In fact, Rita's pretty much on her own too.

Texas secretary of state defends ongoing 2020 election audit effort
By Lori Brown
Texas Secretary of State John Scott defended an ongoing audit of the state's 2020 election results, despite the first phase finding no irregularities or wrongdoing in four major counties.
FORT WORTH, Texas - Texas' secretary of state defended an ongoing audit of the 2020 election results in the state.
John Scott, a Fort Worth attorney appointed by Governor Greg Abbott in October, is overseeing what is believed to be the largest elections audit of its kind.
"We want to bring confidence back to the system," Scott said.
The first phase, which was released on New Year's Eve, found no irregularities or wrongdoing in four major counties — Harris, Dallas, Tarrant and Collin.
The audit examined electronic and hand counts of ballots in what the state calls two Democratic counties and two Republican counties, although Tarrant narrowly was won by now-President Joe Biden in 2020. It also looked at the accuracy of voter rolls.
RELATED: Audit finds no widespread fraud during 2020 presidential election in Texas
The second phase, which is taking place, will examine of election records "to ensure election administration procedures were properly followed," state officials said.
"It is my understanding this is the first time there has been an audit of over 30% of the election returns," Scott said.
Scott says his goal is for the audit to restore trust in the election system. GOP officials have repeatedly questioned its integrity without any evidence of wrongdoing.
"If at the end of the day everyone can go to the ballot box and know their vote is counted, that is what we are looking for," Scott said.
Critics have questioned the premise for the audit, with no obvious signs of fraud beforehand and no widespread fraud uncovered in the first progress report.
Before he was appointed secretary of state, Scott represented then-President Trump in a lawsuit challenging the 2020 election results in Pennsylvania. Scott said he didn't think that contributed to people not trusting the system.
"I think that is what our courts are for. That is different from someone storming the Capitol. We have a system, we have courthouses," he said.
Scott withdrew from the case after a short time.
Audit finds no widespread fraud during 2020 presidential election in Texas
The state is continuing to investigate nearly 600 votes statewide that may have been cast illegally, but there is no indication of any widespread fraud.
Tarrant County Elections Administrator Heider Garcia says it's obvious there's no massive fraud or errors at the county level. Ultimately, though, he welcomes the process.
"Helping us get better, it can't hurt, like a medical exam, don't have to enjoy it, but will let you know if you have a clean bill of health or not," Garcia said.
The second phase will involve state auditors going to each county to examine massive amounts of documentation.
Collin County Elections Supervisor Bruce Sherbet said so far the audit has confirmed the process works.
"Our democracy depends on voters participating. If you have voters who have lost faith in the process, you lose voters," he said.
State auditors are expected to be on site at some counties as early as the end of this month.
There is no timeline for when phase two of the audit will be complete.

Building a Lasting Europe: What the Slovak presidency is mistaking about Erasmus+
Over the past few years our national politicians and European institutions have been repeatedly telling us that we are suffering an economic crisis, and that to stabilize our economies expenses must be cut. But what policies can reverse the crisis?
Photo: yEUth vzw
Martin Duruisseau
EU and foreign policy Inside V4, Commentary
In November Politico Brussels Playbook reported that the Slovak EU presidency wanted to cut the budget for Erasmus+, a European youth exchange scheme, due to budgetary concerns. Later the newly seated presidency corrected that the plan was not to cut the existing budget, but to reduce the Commission-proposed increase for 2017 by half. Thus, instead of receiving a 200 million €, a 1.38% increase of the previous year's budget, the program will now only receive a 100 million € increase. 1
There have been little to no reactions from politicians around Europe. Spending is not popular these days; spending at the EU level, even less so. On top of that, the Erasmus+ program already absorbs a 14.4 billion € budget, so many do not see why more money should be spent on it. What is popular though, is for European politicians to repeat common catchphrases about the importance of our youth: "young people are the world's future," "youth is our priority," or "change will come from our youth."
If youth really is a priority, a 1.38% increase of the Eramus+ budget doesn't seem too excessive. 2
Why do I care about this issue? I'm a 23 years old Belgian studying political science in Brussels, and for several years now I've participated in or organized several Erasmus+ funded projects.
I have met people coming from all over the continent; some I like, and others not so much. I have been inspired by some, while others have challenged my thinking. What has been important in the end, is that these experiences have broadened my horizons further than they otherwise would have been.
Without this experience, I wouldn't be writing today for a blog focused on Central Europe, a region I frankly never cared about before meeting some Polish youngsters in Luxembourg seven years ago when I took part in my first Erasmus+ project. Since then, I've lived in Prague for one year and studied at Charles University, while I coordinated projects involving Polish youth, and I am truly haunted by the actions of the current Polish government.
But what is Erasmus+ exactly? And why is it important for European youth today? Virtually everyone now knows about the famous Erasmus program, an exchange program that allows students from all over the EU (and elsewhere) to study from three months to one year at a university in the EU or other partner countries. Since it began in 1987, the program has allowed more than three million people to study abroad. 3
Erasmus nevertheless remains elitist in the eyes of many, as it is nearly exclusive to university students and trainees, an increasing portion of Europe's youth population, but restricted nonetheless.
And that is where the genius of Erasmus+ programs come in. Erasmus+ combines all the EU's previous funding schemes for youth education and training, including the Lifelong Learning Programme (Erasmus, Leonardo da Vinci, Comenius, Grundtvig), Youth in Action and five international cooperation programmes (Erasmus Mundus, Tempus, Alfa, Edulink and the programme for cooperation with industrialized countries). 4
It not only allows university students to participate in exchanges abroad, but all kinds of youngsters. The exchanges revolve around a wide variety of subjects: from sports to politics, work experiences, trainings and many more. In 2014 alone, it has benefited more than 650,000 individuals directly, and much more indirectly.
It is common to forget that the impact goes way further than the individual who takes part in an exchange. People talk, people share and interact and when someone does an Erasmus or a European Voluntary Service (EVS) for example, maybe they will stay mostly with international students as studies have shown, 5 but at the very least they will interact with professors, colleagues or random people they meet in a café… and that will impact all of them and their surroundings indirectly.
Furthermore, when participants come back home after such exchanges, they share their findings and impressions with their friends, families and their communities, de facto multiplying the impact of such experience.
The Slovak Presidency, justifies this proposed lesser increase in the Erasmus+ budget, by saying that Europe faces unprecedented challenges, such as migration and security, and reminds that European economies are doing poorly. 6
Are the answers the Slovak presidency provides adequate though? I think not. As we have seen, Erasmus+ doesn't weigh that heavily on the EU budget.
However, one thing that fuels the crisis around immigration and security today is fear and rejection of the other, and this is often due to a lack of knowledge, be it on the side of xenophobic nationalists or young people who engage in terrorism.
More and more young people get information via Facebook, 7 which often results in a biased view of the world. Because policies trend on social media and because Facebook friends tend to share similar opinions and social traits (nearly every one of mine goes to university, dislikes Trump and has compassion for refugees), leaving one's comfort zone is crucial to the broadening of horizons. Meeting people personally often results in a better conversation and understanding than a war of hateful comments under one Twitter post does. Erasmus+ programs provide just that.
They allow people to meet others they would never have met otherwise, people who are culturally or socio-economically different, those, who they might have been prejudiced against beforehand. Maybe some of these prejudices will stick with them, but sometimes a Slovak may realize they share more with a young Muslim Belgian than with some of their own Slovak compatriots.
In the end, many studies have shown that Erasmus exchanges don't have that big of an influence on one being more pro-European. But creating a generation of pro-European puppies is not the goal. It does create people, who are more critical towards their own ideas, and discerning about what they hold as absolute truths. It doesn't take away one's feelings of national belonging and replace it with a more Eurocentric one: it strengthens participants' own identities, enabling them to be more confident in a globalized world.
Don't save on Erasmus+; make it bigger and make sure people from all social, cultural, economic and religious backgrounds take part in it. That is how you fight the "crisis" of extremism – not by building walls at our borders. Maybe if Mr Fico and his Smer party peers had benefited from such programs they wouldn't have built their political campaigns on the fear that Muslim immigrants were coming to Slovakia … who knows?

Fossil fuel and machines drove the industrial revolution in the olden days, but the current revolution is championed by data-driven AI and blockchain.
With blockchain being one of the biggest innovations of our time, it is, therefore, of great importance to understand the impact of both Blockchain and AI when combined and what is required to make the on-going revolution a success.
At first, glance combining Blockchain and AI may seem impossible because while Blockchain works under the decentralized data storage principle, AI creates a platform for concentrating data in centralized systems. However, many companies are now figuring out ways to combine the two in their processes.
Combining blockchain and AI can provide the much-needed computing power that fuels the ethical use of artificial intelligence and all its supporting technologies.
The data fed into AI is also of great importance as well as the results achieved thereof. For that reason, combining blockchain and AI may bring back trust when it comes to collecting and storing data, data that is mostly used to enable AI machines to create patterns, connections, and insight that provide output.
Use cases of blockchain and AI
Management of data
The progress made in AI is attributed to the progress that's being made in the Big data sector. How tech companies handle data is a matter of great concern to the public also with authorities protecting consumers.
It is, therefore, legally and morally responsible for companies dealing with big data to ensure its safety but also pay attention to privacy sensitivity. Combining blockchain and AI has the potential of ensuring that Big data is safely handled.
The rapid increase of data has made it necessary to use blockchain as storage for AI gathered data. The blockchain technology is more secure since data stored in it is broken down into small pieces and distributed to various blocks in the network.
Additionally, the entire system is decentralized, and each node in the network stores a complete copy of the data. Every activity that's carried out in the blockchain is usually highly encrypted. This means that it is almost impossible to tamper with the data.
Combining blockchain and AI in Data management
Given the sensitivity around data gathering and handling nowadays, blockchain can play a very key role to solve this problem.
Increasingly, we see projects that compensate people for the data they provide. This then brings back control of the data collected in the hands of the people who provide the data.
Such a use case of combining Blockchain and AI is set to disrupt the way data is collected, stored and used.
Having people get paid for the data they provide to cooperations and allowing the providers of such data to decide which cooperation they will like to provide their data to and how much data they will like to give out is a more ethical way of making money out of people's data.
Unmasking AI's 'Black box.'
How AI machines and systems come to conclusions or give output has been a mystery to humans for quite a while. However, blockchain can be used to help in tracking the entire process from the time data of input to when the system makes a decision.
This can be done by storing the results from AI machines training sessions in the ledgers as well as the mechanisms used to calculate inferences. This would provide an avenue through which scientists can access the training sessions to come up with valuable explanations on how AIs make decisions.
Another advantage of using blockchain to record the AI decision-making process would increase transparency.
This could also increase the adoption of AI as well as improve the AI learning fields, which would lead to more accurate, trustworthy and valuable results that would benefit all the industries using AI.
Blockchain can also benefit from AI. When mining cryptocurrencies, a lot of computing power is required to handle the chains in the block.
To solve a block in the network, one has to use hashing algorithms, i.e., in bitcoin mining, the approach used requires one to enumerate all possible outcomes of a block and then counterchecking which outcome satisfies what the block needs before verifying a transaction.
AI can help miners move away from such approaches and provide intelligent ways for mining. Machines can be taught how to use the algorithms to mine. Human intervention would only be required when feeding the machine data.
Some companies combining the power of blockchain and AI
DeepSee: This company uses similar AI learning mechanisms to those used by Facebook. It, however, transfers the mechanisms to blockchains, which creates transparency of privacy settings while rewarding quality content generated by users.
DeepSee hopes to become a decentralized option for the existing centralized media platforms such as YouTube and Medium.
Deep Mind: This is an AI-powered company that leverages on blockchain to protect patient health records.
Longenesis: This company has partnered with Neuromation to provide people with control over their data. The company also gives the individuals the option of making money from their data by sharing it with research institutes, corporations, and hospitals.
Mind AI: This company has invented an AI-powered system that will achieve the same level of reasoning as humans. The company uses blockchain to make the thought process of the machine transparent to everyone.
Contributors to Mind AI's open source platform are rewarded with tokens. The ontologies contributed by the community together with the AI-powered reasoning make it possible for Mind AI to reason as humans do, without needing any big data.
"Without ontologies, Mind AI is like a car without fuel. We've split the source code of the AI engine and the ontology database to make sure the ownership of our technology is not centralized. The ontologies will be crowdsourced and stored into a distributed storage system utilizing blockchain, and the contributors of the ontologies will be the owners of the data. The community has control of the data, gets rewarded when their data is used and has a voice in how his or her data is used." Lee, Mind AI CEO.
Lee, Mind AI's CEO believes that with blockchain and AI, how user data is protected can be enhanced to benefit the community:
"We believe blockchain provides the foundation for creating [sic] AI systems that are transparent, decentralized, and beneficial for many, rather than a few."
The adoption of blockchain and AI is hurdled by factors such as the widespread use of new technology, Military applications, Business applications, Entertainment applications, and Consumer applications. Each of these applications requires massive investment IN terms of time and money, which in turn slows down the adoption of AI.

Cardinals Executive Named General Manager of Memphis Redbirds
@CardsConclave
by Conclave Staff on April 21, 2014
Craig Unger promoted to Memphis General Manager; Former GM Ben Weiss named Senior Advisor
MEMPHIS, TN (April 21, 2014) – The St. Louis Cardinals announced today that Craig Unger, a five year veteran of the Cardinals front office, will become the new General Manager of the Memphis Redbirds as the Cardinals take over the daily management of the Redbirds.
"Craig played a key role in our acquisition of the Memphis Redbirds which made him a natural fit for the position," said Bill DeWitt III, President of the Cardinals. "He brings a lot to the table with his experience in sales, marketing and management. We're very happy for both Craig and his family as they embark on this exciting opportunity."
Unger, an Account Executive in Corporate Sales and Marketing department who has spent the last few months in Memphis assisting with the ownership transition, will permanently relocate to the community as he takes over the daily management of the Redbirds.
"I'm very excited to join the Memphis Redbirds and be part of this great community," said Craig Unger, the newly appointed Redbirds' General Manager. "This is a special moment in our team's history, with the best days ahead of us. I look forward to working with our devoted staff, city leaders and our loyal fans to ensure we continue to improve the fan experience and develop a model family-friendly franchise that will be the envy of minor league baseball."
Unger, who joined the Cardinals in 2008, played an essential role in returning the team's radio broadcasts to KMOX (1120 AM), served as the field producer for the 2009 All-Star Game at Busch Stadium, coordinated the 2011 World Series Victory Parade and secured last year's long-term partnership with St. Louis-based Mercy as the Official Medical Provider of the St. Louis Cardinals.
To assist Unger in managing the ownership transition, Ben Weiss, the Redbirds' General Manager since 2009, has been named Senior Advisor to the club. Weiss will assist Unger in daily management and ensure that the team continues to build on strong foundation laid by Global Spectrum, the management group credited with stabilizing the financial condition of the club and enhancing the fan experience at AutoZone Park.
"Global Spectrum helped turn the Redbirds franchise around," said John Mozeliak, Sr. VP & General Manager of the St. Louis Cardinals. "We're fortunate to have such solid footing and our goal is to simply build on that success."
"We are particularly proud of what we have been able to accomplish here in Memphis," said Global Spectrum President John Page. "We feel we are leaving the Redbirds in a better place than when we arrived in 2009. We're excited to see the St. Louis Cardinals, a team rich in tradition, will continue to bring their winning legacy and spirit to the City of Memphis. We know the team is in good hands. We would like to thank the Redbirds Foundation, AutoZone, the City of Memphis, John Pontius, the Fundamental Advisors and our Global Spectrum staff."
The Memphis Redbirds are now the third minor league team owned and operated by the St. Louis Cardinals. The Palm Beach Cardinals, purchased in 2002, and the Springfield Cardinals, purchased in 2005, have each won their respective division championships under the leadership of the St. Louis Cardinals. Overall, the Cardinals have won a championship at every minor league level since 2000 including two in Memphis (2000, 2009) and one in Springfield (2012), Palm Beach (2005), Quad Cities (2011), Batavia (2008) and Johnson City (2010-11).
About the St. Louis Cardinals
The St. Louis Cardinals (cardinals.com) are one of the most storied franchises in all of baseball. Since they joined the National League in 1892, the Cardinals have won more than 9,500 games, 11 World Series Championships, 19 N.L. Pennants, 3 N.L. Eastern Division Titles, 10 N.L. Central Division Titles and 1 N.L. Wild Card Title. Nearly 50 former Cardinals players and managers are enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Last week I had the opportunity to attend Informatica World 2015. This was my 6th Informatica World and my first as part of the SSG team. The event was fantastic with the highest attendance levels I have ever seen at an Informatica World conference; it was sold out before the event started. We actually had to share SSG partner passes with customers and Informatica employees so they could attend the conference. You could honestly say we outgrew The Cosmopolitan and I look forward to being at the Moscone next year in San Francisco for Informatica World 2016.
This year's conference had phenomenal content with real-world sessions. Actual Informatica customers explained different ways they have deployed parts of the Informatica Platform to solve their business challenges. One of the things that stood out to me is IOT or Internet of Things. I have to admit in the past I always thought this was farther off in the future, maybe a 2020 thing, if you will. After meeting last week with a partner company that has IOT software ready to deploy, I realized that IOT is here and it's time for us to embrace it. As we advance into IOT, data volumes will explode. It is up to us as Data Management professionals to embrace it and guide our clients/colleagues/partners in the best way to harness this data and extract value from it.
Total customer relationship is another area that is exploding in our data management lives today. Many companies have or are deploying MDM (Master Data Management) or PIM (Product Information Management) software to solve their data mastering challenges. We heard from lots of companies using this software to solve diverse problems from Well Head Mastering to managing Omni channel product information. You name it, Informatica software had a hand in it as part of the solution.
One conference undertone: it was clear with Informatica going private, they are focused on moving their platform to the cloud. What that means, I'm not sure just yet, but I look forward to being part of the journey.
As I flew home Thursday night I had many thoughts. It was great to see all of the clients and past coworkers that I've broken bread with over the years. It truly is a small world and I'm glad to be part of the Informatica community. Most importantly, I'm humbled to be part of the SSG team and stay part of the Informatica community in a new role. I look forward to being a trusted Data Management partner for Informatica, the Informatica customer base and other partners in this ecosystem.
Looking forward to seeing everyone next year at Informatica World 2016, if not sooner!

Тихоокеанская лига КВН — официальная центральная лига, в которой принимают участие команды с Дальнего Востока и Восточной Сибири. Лига была основана в 2007 году. Игры проходят в Хабаровске. До 2012 года ведущим игр был Иван Вербицкий (актёр команды «Ботанический сад»).

2012 год ознаменовался экспериментами с ведущими — были приглашены звёзды КВН. Так гала-концерт фестиваля вел Николай Архипенко (Сборная Краснодарского края «БАК-Соучастники»), четвертьфинал — Андрей Чивурин, полуфинал — Дмитрий Кожома («Станция Спортивная»), финал — Максим Киселёв («Триод и Диод»).

В 2013 году лига также продолжила эксперимент с известными ведущими: ведущим гала-концерта фестиваля стал Иван Пышненко («Станция Спортивная»), четвертьфинальные игры провел Андрей Скороход («Триод и Диод»), полуфинальную стадию — Дмитрий Колчин (редактор Высшей лиги КВН, капитан команды «СОК»), финал -Дмитрий Шпеньков (редактор Высшей лиги КВН, капитан команд «Обычные люди», участник команды «25-ая»). Ведущими в 2014 году были: гала-концерт вел Александр Гудков («Федор Двинятин»), четвертьфинальные игры — Дмитрий Кожома («Станция Спортивная»), полуфиналы — Игорь Ласточкин и Владимир Борисов («Днепр»), финал — Дмитрий Бушуев («Вятка»). Ведущими в 2015 году были: Сергей Писаренко («Уездный город», Челябинск и Магнитогорск), четвертьфиналы – Эндрю Нджогу (Сборная РУДН, Москва), полуфиналы – Игорь Ласточкин («Днепр», Днепропетровск), финал — Дмитрий Хрусталев (Сборная Санкт-Петербурга).  Ведущими в 2016 году были: Герман Иванов (Сборная Мурманска), четвертьфиналы – Николай Наумов («Парма», Пермь), полуфиналы – Дмитрий Соколов («Уральские пельмени», Екатеринбург), финал — Тимур Бабъяк и Филипп Воронин («Детективное агентство "Лунный свет"», Белгород).

Лига имеет четыре учебных подразделения: Открытая Хабаровская лига (г. Хабаровск), Амурская лига «СОЮЗ» (г. Благовещенск), Открытая Биробиджанская лига (г. Биробиджан) и Лига Юности (г. Комсомольск-на-Амуре). Чемпионы этих лиг автоматически в следующем сезоне попадают в Тихоокеанскую лигу. С 2014 года Открытая Хабаровская лига и Амурская лига «СОЮЗ» получили статут Официальной Региональной лиги.

История
На XVIII Международном фестивале КВН в г. Сочи было принято решение об открытии новой официальной межрегиональной Тихоокеанской лиги Международного Союза КВН ТТО «АМиК» (г. Хабаровск).
I Фестиваль Тихоокеанской лиги КВН состоялся в г. Хабаровске с 30 марта по 2 апреля 2007 г. Зона ответственности лиги распространяется на территорию Дальнего востока и Восточной Сибири. По итогам Фестиваля был сформирован состав участников сезона 2007 года лиги. Кроме того, по результатам Фестиваля определился состав Открытой Хабаровской лиги КВН. На Международных фестивалях «КиВиН-2008, 2009» статус лиги был подтвержден. В 2010 году статус лиги был повышен до Центральной, которой лига пробыла 3 года. На фестивале Сочи-2013 руководством Международного союза КВН было принято решение понизить уровень лиги до межрегионального. Полное наименование теперь звучит как Официальная Межрегиональная Тихоокеанская лига МС КВН «АМиК».

После двух лет плодотворной работы на Международных фестивалях «КиВиН-2015» Тихоокеанская лига становится лучшей среди межрегиональных лиг и возвращает статус центральной.

Игры проходят в Городском Дворце Культуры (до 2011 включительно в Театре Музыкальной Комедии).

As I'm waiting for my Tylenol PM to kick in, which seems to be the only way short of a regular sleeping pill for me to sleep through the night these days (nights), I was pondering the holidays.
I'm not being politically correct by saying "holidays", I'm just referring to the time leading up to Thanksgiving and through Christmas. Rhett was saying to me earlier how he can't wait till Christmas. I understand that him being 7 years old and all. I think for me though, that I really enjoy the lead up to the holidays more than the actual holiday itself. My family is very big on traditions and therefore doing things a certain way for holidays is pretty ingrained in me. (I think I might have spelled ingrained wrong? e?) Anyway.... It's not the same here in Hawaii because as much as I dislike, maybe even loathe being cold, if it was a little bit cooler here that would go a long way with setting the "mood" for the Season. So, as soon as I can find them I start lighting Fall and Christmas scented candles and tarts to get that feeling.
There are certain things that must be had a holiday meals. For example, what would Thanksgiving be without my family's apple/cranberry casserole? Uh, NOT Thanksgiving! Hello?! I must have sweet potatoes, too. The mushed up kind. But not with marshmallows. Marshmallows are o.k. But I much prefer the sort of praline topping kind. I don't need any green bean casserole with the crispy onion things. Yuck! I think there should be turkey, but for myself I could take it or leave it as far as eating it. I do think it should be there for everybody else though! Those are my requirements.
The Saturday after Thanksgiving is the day for putting up the tree. This is not something we did when I was growing up. I think then it was more like the second week of December. But I like the tradition of putting up the Saturday after Thanksgiving. It's early enough without being too early and the tree is up long enough but not too long. I usually take it down within a day or two of Christmas being over. One year soon we're going to have to break down and get a pre-lit tree. There are certain tasks that probably should not go to a person with a temper such as mine. Yet, for some reason, I am the designated tree-lighter. Oh well, Heaven help them all! ;) On the subject of lights, we have the colored ones. I think some people might view colored lights as kind of a, how shall I put this..., a less refined look. But I always had colored ones when I was little and I still think they're beautiful. I do love the look of a tree with white lights too, but I just don't think I want that for myself.
This year, Wayne and I are going out for a little Black Friday shopping. We don't always. In fact, we don't usually. But I think it kind of depends on what is on the kids' Christmas lists. This year there are a couple of things we can probably find good deals on. Everybody keeps telling me to just go online and order because you can get the deals that way, too. I don't know though, this year I'm just kind of looking forward to getting up before dawn and going shopping. I know full well that the public will drive me crazy and I'll probably end the excursion with, "I'm never doing that again"! But for right now, I'm looking forward to it and that's all part of the lead up to the holidays that I enjoy.

Conor Foy – 'Fight or flight'
"Like all really good art, Conor Foy's work is hard to pigeon-hole as being one thing, or as addressing one issue. Rather it addresses the question of being in a fascinating, multifaceted way." So said Tyler Green, a columnist with Modern Painters of the work of Irish artist Conor Foy.
Writing in The Huffington Post, Colin Darke said of Foy that he "is an important artist, he is in the arena creating great work…. he shows that he is able to capture immense emotion through delicate figurative work. He creates a quiet narrative that does not lecture the viewer, but it compels the viewer to consider the figure's tragic story".
Born in Dublin in 1967, Foy graduated with a BFA from NCAD in 1990 and an MFA from Columbia University in 1997. He had his debut solo show at The Molesworth Gallery in 2013 and has shown in multiple years at the RHA, where he was awarded the Fergus O'Ryan Memorial Award in 2007. He is one of a group of notable Irish artists, alongside Corban Walker and Norman Mooney, who have taken up residence in New York – where Luc Tuymans is among the collectors of his work, as well being an occasional visitor to his studio.

New Zealand's team boss has strongly defended his athletes against claims they're overdoing the haka at the Commonwealth Games.
"The first question is - too many for whom?" said the NZ chef de mission Dave Currie.
"It's something that's uniquely New Zealand and I think that other countries envy us because we've got something of substance.
"Aussie, Aussie. Aussie, oi, oi, oi doesn't quite cut it," Currie told the New Zealand Herald.
The Kiwis have come in for some stick, with suggestions they're devaluing the haka - made famous worldwide by the All Blacks - by doing too many at the Games.
The New Zealand sevens rugby team performed five haka around the Telstra Dome ground following their gold medal win and critics wondered whether the Maori war cry was really justified after a swim relay bronze medal.
Given New Zealand had only two gold medals - against Australia's haul of 42 - halfway through the Games, sightings would have been few and far between if it was saved for gold medals only.
But Currie said the haka was not just a way of celebrating.
Kiwis also saw the haka as a way of recognising, honouring, welcoming and sending off their teammates, and an expression of the emotions they were feeling.
"The only thing that it's not is entertainment. We're not entertaining anyone. We don't do it for an audience," he said.
"It's spontaneous. We don't have an issue with how many haka we do. If we win more medals, we'll do more haka."
Melbourne Games chairman Ron Walker was supportive - with one proviso, obviously remembering that the Kiwi team was criticised at the Manchester Games for launching into a haka before the Queen at the opening ceremony.
"It's part of the tradition of New Zealand," Mr Walker said.
"I love the haka, I think it's very exciting, the more they play it the better, as long as it's not at the opening and closing ceremonies."

Porn Luke Winkie July 9, 2020
The Guys Who Gather Online and Fap to Nostalgia
For some, zooming backwards through their own sexual development can be far more titillating than the latest Pornhub query
The Phoebe Cates nude scene from Fast Times at Ridgemont High is one of the prized touchstones in the straight male hivemind. It's practically the foundation of macho smut; Cates emerges from a swimming pool, sashays through the suburban sprinklers and unbuttons her bikini top for an enthusiastically porn-y tracking shot. It's hard to think of a cultural artifact that's been prescribed more often by uncles, brothers and older cousins. Personally, I remember the scene being constantly hyped up in frothy Maxim countdowns as an urtext of pop erotica.
So naturally, a huge number of men have spent their cursory adolescent curiosity with Cates, that red bikini and those few moments of Judge Reinhold's depraved desperation immortalized in the film.
Fast Times, however, is amateur stuff — the internet's masturbators work through all the vintage, well-canonized sex scenes in their halcyon years before graduating to much more sinful content. Eventually, Hollywood softcore just doesn't hit the right spots. But for a select few men on the r/NostalgiaFapping subreddit, zooming backwards through their own sexual development can be a far more rewarding experience than witnessing whatever awaits behind the next Pornhub query.
In that sense, it shouldn't be a surprise that a sequential collage of Cates' world-famous Ridgemont High seduction is among the highest upvoted posts in the community. The men in the comments below it have access to more porn than anyone in recorded history. There are aggregators osmotizing zillions of bawdy productions from across time and space; there's an endless field of fetish sites tuned to every possible kink and denomination; and an infinite variety of dirty forums and OnlyFans accounts splayed across the web, each dedicated to serving up the latest and greatest craven shit. And yet, in a profound accident of horny horseshoe theory, they've circled back around to the place they felt most at home as a teenager: Whacking it to Phoebe Cates.
"I was blown away the first time I saw this scene. Watched it many times since," one writes.
"I used to wait until my parents were out of the house and then I just watched this scene on DVD a bunch of times," another adds.
"Memories, she has aged well too!" a third exclaims.
Every entry on r/NostalgiaFapping has this same tone. The community somehow combines the usual horndog reconnaissance of crowdsourced filth with the sharp pang of generational melancholia. Traditionally, teenaged wistfulness is reserved for mint green iPod Nanos or a misbegotten skater phase, but they've managed to translate that same warmth to the skin flicks that kept them up late at night.
As a whole, the content tends to skew toward the tastes of millennial men in their late 20s and early 30s; popular posts include the hot-tub scene from Eurotrip; Kimberly Page from The 40-Year-Old Virgin; a whole trove of American Pie moments; and Lindsay Lohan's world-renowned Marilyn Monroe flavored Playboy pictorial. Spend enough time on the forum, and it quickly becomes clear that these men are particularly interested in recalling the subterfuge it took to watch cheeky R-rated comedies long before they were of age to do so legally. (Be that with a fake ID at the local Blockbuster, or more likely, a sleepover at a house known for its lax parents.)
A moderator of r/NostalgiaFapping agrees with that assessment. To him, sex was at its most interesting when it was a rare commodity. "People like to bond over shared experiences, and before the days of high-speed internet, guys often had to go to great lengths to find material to jerk to," he says. "Many people in the subreddit have memories of the thrill they felt when they stumbled upon a stash of nudie magazines, or staying up late to watch softcore erotic movies on Cinemax, or even watching scrambled Playboy Channel. It's kind of amusing the lengths to which we used to go in order to see a pair of boobs."
Honestly, it can be downright wholesome to read the surprising earnestness of, like, a bunch of men reviving the juvenile crushes they had on Jennifer Love Hewitt, long after they're grown and supposedly desensitized from decades of angry pornography:
"My cork board was filled with her!"
"She's beautiful!"
"The girl with the smiling eyes!"
It's difficult to call r/NostalgiaFapping a gentle place — male-centric smut arenas rarely are — but there's something peacefully defanged about the discourse. One of the magical things about memory is that incidents of passion and angst are slowly inoculated by the passage of time. Old friends can laugh about the night their car got towed, or the day they lost their lease, without any lingering grudges. I suppose r/NostalgiaFapping proves the same softening can happen for smut. With a decade-long gap in hand from the point of inception, there's no motivation to be rude or crass.
"Most of the time I'm like, 'Wow! I remember this,' or 'Holy shit, I didn't know she did that,'" says one frequent poster to the subreddit. "I think we really enjoy the posts because we grew up on them. It's just reminiscing about the past."
Sometimes, says the moderator, r/NostalgiaFapping reveals some buried treasure. Ancient, circa-2002 masturbation material is an overtaxed resource at this point, but every once in a while, the forum can dredge up some forgotten gems, awakening a primordial feeling within him. "Just the other week somebody posted a picture of Sydney Moon," says the moderator. "She was a pretty popular adult model about 17 years ago, but I hadn't thought about her in a few years. It was fun seeing her again and remembering that I used to be a fan of her."
That is the sensation he chases with every post he adds to the r/NostalgiaFapping mixer. Be it a sex scene from the Tom Green oeuvre, or a resuscitated scan of a 1994 Playboy centerfold, he is at his proudest when he's able to help connect the dots between each of our millennial adolescences. "Some of the pictures and clips I enjoyed 20 years ago are pretty tough to find these days," he says. "I'll usually get replies [to my posts] like, 'I remember her!' or 'I kept this issue hidden under my mattress as a teenager.'"
Of course, there is an important subtext that courses just below the surface of r/NostalgiaFapping. For all of the labor that chroniclers like the moderator put in, the most popular women to feature on the forum, by far, are the likes of Pamela Anderson, Carmen Electra and Keeley Hazell — three Barbie dolls come to life with the requisite mixture of blonde hair and big boobs. (Hot in an early 1990s kind of way, as Tracy Jordan would put it.)
In the years since, we've watched the culture evolve into a far more inclusive place for a variety of different body types. One of the most famous porn stars in the world is a curvy Armenian with a YouTube channel. An L.A. Lakers forward is dating a model with the skin condition vitiligo. A 20-year-old South Sudanese woman named Adut Akech is a two-time Model of the Year champion. There is no reason to condemn the women who matched the beauty standards of the 1990s, but it's inarguable that the slow atrophication of that hegemony — enacted exclusively by those who didn't fit the mold — hasn't been a net positive for the culture.
That's one of the, um, rubs with r/NostalgiaFapping: The good old days weren't good for everyone, no matter what they claim. "I tend to like stuff from the 1990s and 2000s. I remember those girls fondly," the moderator tells me. "I feel that, in most cases, the Instagram and OnlyFans girls of today just don't measure up to the sex symbols from a couple of decades ago."
I can't think of many more fruitless endeavors than comparing and contrasting the qualities of generational smut with an entire subreddit, but what is clear is that r/NostalgiaFapping lives up to its name. Memory lies to us all the time. The universe is smoother and less chaotic in retrospect, and it's so easy to cloak our messier biases in old-guy sentiment, to pretend that the children are always in the wrong. That's true for politics, music and art.
Apparently, it's also true for nude scenes and porn. By all means, enjoy those bygone hits. Go watch the Jessica Alba scenes from Sin City. Enjoy Lisa Ann's miraculous 2008 hot streak or Jenny McCarthy in her pre-anti-vax days. All of them are immortalized on the forum. Just make sure to never mistake your own sweaty, filthy glory years for a pornographic ideal.
The world didn't end with Pamela Anderson, and neither should you.

How do you name your characters? Some of mine just pop into my head, but I have favorite names that I keep starting with and need to change later.
One character got his name when I saw a comination of letters on a license plate and wondered what it could possibly mean.
I also use Social Security data to pick names that were popular in the decade my characters were born or to find surnames I might not think of.
Here's a list that explains what some names mean. I can imagine calling a woman who owns a cupcake shop Baxter.


Porcia, Italy -- Electrolux, the world's largest producer of powered appliances for kitchen, cleaning and outdoor use, is currently developing an appliance that allows consumers to monitor refrigerator contents with digital images. Able to take pictures inside a fridge through a Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) capable device, the Food Manager System will provide mobile phone users with an instant inventory of what food they have through a digital snapshot taken of the interior. The appliance currently only exists as a concept model but is expected to be used commercially in the future.
When grocery shopping, many people have trouble remembering exactly what they have in the fridge and often re-purchase items they already have in stock. As good preservation of food is a must, it is important not to overstock the fridge with perishable items that can go to waste. The Electrolux Food Manager System will allow consumers to quickly and easily access their food inventory while shopping at the supermarket or at the neighborhood butcher.
Unlike more complex operations and data entries required with other fridge monitoring devices, the Food Manager System from Electrolux will be able to take instant pictures inside a fridge with a small camera. Users will be able to access and download these images by "logging-in" to their fridge through a mobile phone with a GPRS connection.
"The Food Management System concept is a key indicator that near-future technologies do not always have to be complicated", states Claudio Cenedese, Manager Primary Electronics, Core Technologies and Innovation at Electrolux. "Research at Electrolux into consumer needs has shown that simplicity and ease of use are key drivers when it comes to peoples' wants and needs. We continue to take steps to ensure we meet these head-on."

Beiseker is a village in the Canadian province of Alberta, approximately 70 kilometres (43 mi) northeast of Calgary. The village's name came from Thomas Lincoln Beiseker (1866-1941), a partner and vice president of the Calgary Colonization Company, the company that founded the village as an agricultural service centre. Initial colonization took place in 1908. The village began to grow in 1910 when the branch line of the Canadian Pacific Railway was completed. Beiseker is also known as World Wheat King Capital because of the production of wheat.

"Gut Microbiota and Cardiovascular Uremic Toxicities" by Manuel T. Velasquez, Patricia Centron et al.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a major cause of high morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Numerous CVD risk factors in CKD patients have been described, but these do not fully explain the high pervasiveness of CVD or increased mortality rates in CKD patients. In CKD the loss of urinary excretory function results in the retention of various substances referred to as "uremic retention solutes". Many of these molecules have been found to exert toxicity on virtually all organ systems of the human body, leading to the clinical syndrome of uremia. In recent years, an increasing body of evidence has been accumulated that suggests that uremic toxins may contribute to an increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) burden associated with CKD. This review examined the evidence from several clinical and experimental studies showing an association between uremic toxins and CVD. Special emphasis is addressed on emerging data linking gut microbiota with the production of uremic toxins and the development of CKD and CVD. The biological toxicity of some uremic toxins on the myocardium and the vasculature and their possible contribution to cardiovascular injury in uremia are also discussed. Finally, various therapeutic interventions that have been applied to effectively reduce uremic toxins in patients with CKD, including dietary modifications, use of prebiotics and/or probiotics, an oral intestinal sorbent that adsorbs uremic toxins and precursors, and innovative dialysis therapies targeting the protein-bound uremic toxins are also highlighted. Future studies are needed to determine whether these novel therapies to reduce or remove uremic toxins will reduce CVD and related cardiovascular events in the long-term in patients with chronic renal failure.


As a pioneer in surface finishing technology, Tsuda is looking to the future for the infinite possibilities of plastic.
Since our establishment in 1966, we have been devoted to surface finishing, especially to vacuum deposition on plastic surfaces.

We consider work part of human development so our employees enjoy rich, full lives. We are carrying out our Corporate Social Responsibility through enforcement of the five S's, Value Producing Management, service to the community and encouragement of raising children.
We have a youthful sense in identifying customer needs and exploring new technologies in the field of plastic molding, surface finishing, painting, vacuum deposition, UV hard coating, electromagnetic shielding, transmittance processes with laser and their assembly processes. All of these technologies are based on our philosophy since our establishment, "Nurture humanities rich in character." We have trained many individuals in our technologies to include more than fifty internationals from France, China, Korea and Indonesia in addition to Japanese engineers. This training includes not only our technologies but also our human values, educating the many individuals to become truly leading engineers.
In this way, Tsuda is aiming to develop topflight human resources and products, thus vigorously building a good company developing fields in the future.

Kudos to Kroger/Harris Teeter for pledging to stop using plastic bags. Let's hope Food Lion and others follow suit.
Indeed, city and county politicians should pass ordinances banning plastic bags. It has been done along the coast and in other major cities. If incentives are needed, stores should charge for plastic or could have a short-term rewards program for customers by providing a cloth bag if they buy, say, $25 worth of goods.
