My personal experience at VMworld is described here. In this post I just want to summarize my discoveries of the event.
It seems that one of common pinpoint that vendors see is "feature requests". Almost every vendor faces the problem that they need to fill up all possible checkboxes to be considered during purchasing process by customer. Implementation of any feature requires investment but afterwards many features are not used at all or used by microscopic group of users. It means there is not only an investment with no real use-case application (or very limited area of use) but most importantly any product feature introduces additional complexity (compatibility and support come first, but also depreciation of the feature is also a pretty difficult process). It needs to be stopped if we try to limit complexity but I've never met a person yet who knows how it can be done.
Mware announced VMware Cloud on AWS. Actually VMC was announced last year but now it's publicly available and also pricing is announced here My understanding that minimum purchase is four hosts that means prices need to be multiplied by 4 to get minimal cost of the solution. Another caveat is fixed storage size – as VSAN is used by those 4 hosts – the total storage provided by those 4 hosts is currently 21 TB. It seems that there can be some opportunity for partners to work out integration with external storage (i.e. add EBS or S3 to VMC) but it's still not possible during original offering.
Another announcement is AppDefense – you can watch video that outlines details here – my take on it only time will be able to demonstrate (a) even if it's not AV solution it's pretty close to be one of them – so how it's different from other AV solutions and (b) what is operational expense to maintain the solution in terms of avoiding false negatives and keeping the environment safe. Another caveat here – today you have to run NSX-V to start using AppDefense – no support in NSX-T currently. Great read on the topic here and NSX-T 2.0 blog announcment here.
Pivotal, Kubernetes and VMware announcement (PKS) – detailed article here. Please refer to the beginning of this post where market demand is discussed. The product is not released yet and probably needs first to be validated by customer's need before significant investment will go into it. From my experience working with Developers organizations – mostly containers is something that developers run locally on their desktops or in a public cloud such as AWS or/and GCP. Operational team runs traditional applications in on-premise Datacenters. Of course there is use-case when application is sold and delivered to the customer in a container form and customer wants to run it in vSphere environment. It comes back to the question – "is there enough demand for such solution today?".
There is a very large number of vendors presented on the floor I talked to few – BigSwitch is an absolute winner of my list as innovative vendor with a lot of potential. And Docker is my biggest disappointment of the event – talking to them reminded me Apple of late 90's – "we are the best and all the folks that try to partner with us are annoying – we barely need anyone – we can everything by ourselves". I love Docker and I believe the containers is the biggest IT disruptor of last few years, however there is lot of great technologies that also bring a lot of value (sometimes in conjunction with Docker).
To conclude – after VMworld US 2017 it's obvious for me that the technology is still progressing on a very high speed. VMware confirmed that they are still the one of the most innovative IT companies in the industry. Certainly startups have advantage of moving much faster than any big corporations such as VMware, but VMware has great customers, people and ideas! And me being a realist is typical approach – there is a lot of great things happening but I'm still looking for the problems that still needs to be addressed.

Please note that you do NOT need NSX to run AppDefense! It is a vSphere feature and can optional use NSX to remediate once a policy has been triggered. I would also suggest that AppDefense is not being positioned against traditional AntiVirus but rather as an additional layer of security – Whitelisting with the Context that vSphere can provide.
Thanks Geoff for the correction! NSX-V Manager is required for remediation, detection doesn't require any NSX components.

Martin 0-18 Review
Charles Saufley
While the same can be said for a lot of Martin guitars, there is a real understated grace, elegance, and balance in an 18-series flattop. Instruments in the 18 series—guitars built with a solid spruce top, solid mahogany back and sides, and a minimum of adornment—have been a fixture in the Martin line for a century. (Some of the earliest 18 series guitars date to the 19th century, but had rosewood backs and sides.) But the 0-18, which is one of the earliest 18-series guitars—and in fact one of the earliest Martin designs—has been in and out of the Martin catalog several times over the last century.
This year, Nazareth brought the 0-18 back into the fold, presumably to mark the 100th anniversary of the first mahogany-and-spruce version. Like every 18-series model, it is a study in beautiful design economy. It is also a joy to play and a reminder of the surprising, expressive potency of these compact 6-strings.
14 Frets to Heaven
The 0-18 hasn't changed much since the late 19th century. It's easy to see why. The proportions are lovely—svelte but substantial enough to keep the body from looking too petite. One significant design deviation from the original is the 14-fret neck. As far as design shake-ups go, this is an old one. The 0-18 became a 14-fret model in 1934 in the wake of Martin's OM introduction.
The smaller dimensions of an 0 body mated to a spruce top gives the 0-18 a unique voice—not unlike an 00 or OM, but slightly more concise and less expansive.
Given the vogue for 12-fret models and their extra-bassy sounds (as well as the 100-year anniversary), a 12-fret version would have been a logical move on Martin's part. The 14-fret version certainly feels like the right step here, however. The 24.9" neck feels balanced and spacious, and gives the guitar the feel of a larger instrument.
That sensation of spaciousness is accented by the OM-style 1 3/4" nut width, which will make this 0-18 a sure-fire short-list addition for fingerstyle players. Players less experienced with a wider nut width may find that it makes the fretboard radius feel slightly flatter. Such sensations are usually offset quickly by extra space available for chording and bending, though players with small hands should check the guitar out for themselves. But I loved the balance between the shorter scale, compact body dimensions and wider fretboard, and the way in which it seems to invite kinetic, expressive chording.
Martins—especially those this far upstream in the line—are usually robust and well-built things. Our 0-18, however, flirts with perfection. Inside and out—every joint, every inch of binding, every bit of the glossy, aged finish is immaculate. You could spend thousands more on a guitar, but it's unlikely it will be better built than this 0-18. The intonation is perfect, too, making every note along the length of the neck feel resonant and full-bodied—even up to the 19th fret on the 1st string. And while I might personally prefer slightly lower action, the guitar still feels slinky, elastic, and plenty bouncy for hammer-ons and pull-offs.
Immaculate build. Killer midrange punch. Complex but concise voice.
Top and bottom strings could be more resonant at standard pitch.

The smaller dimensions of an 0 body mated to a spruce top gives the 0-18 a unique voice—not unlike an 00 or OM, but slightly more concise and less expansive. In standard tuning, it's very mid-centric, cutting, and succinct, which makes it ideal for recording fingerpicking patterns that need to nestle into a busier mix. The same midrange emphasis translates to a huskiness that's a natural fit for country blues and spare, intimate vocal/guitar arrangements.
While individual notes feel and sound balanced—a quality that's plain to hear in chord melodies—the 6th and 1st strings can feel ever so slightly muted, at least in standard tuning. Detuning the lowest and highest strings, however, has a profound effect on the guitar's voice. A simple shift to D-modal gives the guitar a growling resonance, bringing the sustain and presence of the 1st and 6th strings in line with the barking and eager 3rd and 4th strings. The guitar sounds natural and dreamy in DADGAD and D–G–D–G–A–D, too, adding vibrancy to Celtic and Anatolian-flavored melodies and authority to alternating thumb bass patterns. Bluesier meanderings in open G, meanwhile, highlight the 0-18's particular knack for sounding down-home and elegant all at once as bright, present high-mid harmonics bounce off toasty and gently resonant mahogany-inflected bass drones. If the notion of Richard Thompson riffing on Mississippi John Hurt sounds heavenly, this little Martin might be your ticket.
The 0-18 may not be the most legendary Martin. But if its long history and return hint at something special about the design, this newest incarnation highlights the guitar's virtues in bold, vibrant strokes. While it may not compel every player to part with their dreadnought, it's a guitar of surprises and protean strength that provides delicious counterpoint to more familiar big-flattop sounds. It's built to near-perfection, making this subtly styled gem as much an heirloom as an instrument. But whether you favor Albion folk fingerstyle or dank Delta blues, you should play this guitar to within an inch of its life. Anything less would be a waste of it's punchy, classy, and extraordinary singing voice.

Hip osteoarthritis is a painful and disabling disease and today the most common reason for surgery with artificial hip replacement, i.e. a total hip arthroplasty (THA). This is generally a successful operation and is done in increasing numbers. Worldwide about 1,4 million THAs are performed annually, and in a small country like Sweden almost 16.000 are done each year. Indications for surgery have gradually widened with younger patients being considered for surgery. This puts higher demands on the surgical results and the longevity of the prosthesis.
The objective with THA is to relieve pain and enable the patient to get back to normal activity again. In order to achieve that with lasting results the goal is to restore a normal anatomy and optimize hip biomechanics. Choosing the wrong implant or malposition of the prosthesis during surgery can lead to hip dislocation, component wear, leg length discrepancy, bone stock loss, limp and pain for the patient, and eventually premature loosening of the prosthesis. Such THA failure often requires a reoperation, which is demanding surgery with high risks of complications and furthermore costly for society.
Today research in the field of arthroplasty explores ways of securing the surgical results by optimizing implants, preoperative planning and not least the actual surgical procedure in order to help the surgeon get as good and long lasting result of the THA as possible.
Means of doing preoperative planning of the surgery on radiographs, today available in 2-D, are becoming compulsory. Navigated assisted surgery is on trial to increase the surgical precision. We believe that in the near future the surgeon will demand the possibility of planning more realistically in 3-D, and with the possibility to link that result directly to instrument guided navigational support during surgery.
Our goal is to make Ortoma Plan the obvious choice for surgeons wanting to optimize the use of preoperative planning, of linked guided surgical tools and accurate postoperative follow up.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW: The first interns of the world's biggest tech companies
Maya Kosoff and Nathan McAlone
Austin Geidt/Twitter
Uber, Google, and Facebook are among the biggest, most powerful tech companies in the world.
But when they were founded, these companies were scrappy startups with small staffs. They hired interns — usually college kids or recent grads — to help keep things chugging along.
So where are the earliest interns from these companies now? We did some research to find out. In some cases, these companies' first interns have stayed onboard, moving up to new positions. Others have left to start their own companies or pursue other ventures.
Twitter's first intern, Kevin Systrom went on to found Instagram, which he sold for $1 billion to Facebook

After graduating from Stanford in 2006 with degrees in engineering and management science, Kevin Systrom interned for Odeo, the company that would eventually become known as Twitter.
After his internship, he worked at several tech companies: he had a stint at Google, at a travel advice website called Nextstop, and finally, a startup he founded called Burbn. Burbn would eventually morph into what's known today as Instagram. Today, Systrom is best known as the co-founder and CEO of Instagram.
Facebook's first intern, Darian Shirazi, became CEO and founder of Radius

Darian Shirazi became the first intern for Facebook when he was 19. Prior to that, at age 15, he had caught eBay's eye as a power seller on the website. The company invited him to intern there when he was 15. He stayed on for two summers in high school.
He stayed on board at Facebook, reporting directly to Mark Zuckerberg, for two years, first as an intern and then as a software engineer. He left to take classes at Berkeley at his parents' request. Now, Shirazi is the founder and CEO of Radius, a company that collects data about small businesses for sales and marketing purposes.
WeWork is now a $5 billion co-working space, and its first intern Alex Seeman, still works there as a digital product manager
Alex Seeman/LinkedIn
Alex Seeman was an early intern at WeWork, the $5 billion company that divides up big, rented office spaces and sublets them to startups and other businesses.
Seeman started as an intern at WeWork in summer 2012, and now serves as a Digital Product Manager at the company.
One member of Pinterest's first intern class was Jeffrey Warren, who is now a software engineer at Wellframe
Jeffrey Warren
One of Pinterest's earliest interns, who was part of the company's first official "Pintern" class, was Jeffrey Warren. As an MIT student and intern, Warren designed and built Pinterest's price drop notification feature, which lets pinners know when the products they've pinned go on sale.
"During my internship, we had two Make-a-thons," Warren said at the time. "I designed and prototyped real-time price drop notifications for the first, and spent most of my time afterward building and scaling the product." Now, Warren is a software engineer for Boston-based digital health company Wellframe.
Square's first intern, Aaron Dias-Melim, is still at the company in a product marketing manager role.
Aaron Dias-Melim/Twitter
Aaron Dias-Melim was the first intern at payments company Square. Dias-Melim started off working on content for Square's support team while he was still attending the University of San Francisco in 2010.
Since then, Dias-Melim has held various roles at the company, including Marketing Associate and Creative Producer. Now, Dias-Melim is a Product Marketing Manager at Square.
Uber's first intern, Austin Geidt, now has a huge role at the company as its Head of Global Expansion
Geidt started at Uber as an overdressed intern and employee number four in 2010; she says she struggled for the first few months.
At first, her job wasn't well defined. She did things like hand out flyers to passersby and cold-call potential drivers. She also took customer service calls at three in the morning.
But now she heads up Uber's global expansion team, which has brought Uber's operations to over 300 markets and 56 countries in just five years.
Google's first intern, Jen Fitzpatrick, is still at the company and serves as VP of Engineering for geo and local.
Jen Fitzpatrick is a Google veteran. She started out at Google as an intern in 1999, and was one of the company's first female engineers. Fitzpatrick, who helped co-found Google's user experience team, has serviced as the head of software development for a number of Google products, including AdWords, Google News, and Google Search.
Earlier this year she replaced Brian McClendon as the head for Google Maps. She now leads the product and engineering efforts for Google's geo and local products, including local search and Google Places.

THE mum of a toddler who died following a fall from a Clydebank flat window has paid tribute to her "angel".
Lexi Bergene could not be saved after she fell from the third-floor flat on Dumbarton Road last week.
Her mum, Maureen Bergene, has now paid tribute to the one-year-old.
Posting on Facebook, she shared a picture of little Lexi and a man understood to be Maureen's dad.
In the caption she wrote: "Forever my angels."
The post was met with an outpouring of support for the heartbroken mother.
One well-wisher wrote: "No words can ever express how sorry I am to hear about your heartbreaking loss Maureen.
"My sincere condolences to you and all your family."
Another added: "My heart goes out to you, her grandad will look after her."
Kind-hearted locals have kickstarted a fundraising campaign to help the family after their devasatating loss.
Ashley Murray, who lives in the area, set up a GoFundMe page in a bid to raise £1,000.
So far, it has brought in around £660.
She said: "There is no easy way of putting this into words but it's safe to say everyone in our Clydebank community and anyone who has read the heartbreaking news of the one-year-old baby girl who has passed after a horrific accident.
"I don't know the family personally but I live five minutes away from their home and as a mother I can't even begin to imagine the suffering and grief this baby girls mother and family are going through.
"I would like to raise some money to give to the mother to help her in any way she needs."


This week's Chocolate-Peanut Butter Ice Cream Sandwiches are inspired by this week's Better insert in The Times and Democrat. But I, like many, prefer to have the wisdom of my inspirations confirmed by people I trust before I take action.
This week's cookie-idea confirmation came from three new heroes of mine: Mr. Anderson, Mr. Wright and Mr. Rhett, whose quick work (really, really quick work) yesterday afternoon changed our third floor office spaces from feeling like a screened porch in South Carolina at 2 in the afternoon to a breakfast nook in Maine at 7 in the morning. Ahhhh!
So, this morning, one plate of these ice cream sandwiches are heading straight to Auxiliary Services and the other will be coming to the third floor of the refreshingly cool offices of Tingley Hall.
Thank you, Mr. Anderson, Mr. Wright and Mr. Rhett!
P.S. I followed the paper's recipe except pretty closely except that instead of using a packaged peanut butter cookie mix, I used my grandma's recipe.

The city's newest ice cream shop is serving up Thai rolled ice cream.
Scooped, swirled, made with liquid nitrogren – ice cream comes in many forms in Calgary. And now, you can also get it rolled at the city's newest ice cream shop, Sweet Tooth Ice Cream.
Sweet Tooth Ice Cream is the city's first brick and mortar shop to specialize in rolled ice cream, a treat that hails from Thailand. The shop has brought some new energy to the Chinatown area since it opened there this past September. Sweet Tooth makes the rolled treat by pouring a raw cream mixture and toppings onto a cold plate, chopping and mixing them together, then scraping them into rolls. The shop's four cold plates are all within easy view, allowing you to watch your ice cream being made and rolled right in front of you.
Sweet Tooth Ice Cream offers seven rolled ice cream flavours on its regular menu, which range from the Strawberry Shortie (made with strawberries, vanilla bean and whipped cream) to the London Fog (made with roasted earl grey, honey, fruit loops and whipped cream). There will also always be two or three seasonal flavours available, one of which will be a collaboration with fellow Chinatown shop The Chocolate Lab that uses their chocolate as the ingredient that is combined with the cream mix. For 50 cents to $1 more, you can add extra toppings like brownie bits, wafer sticks, gummy candies and mini macarons.
Rolled ice cream isn't the only treat you can get here though – the menu also features macaron ice cream sandwiches and raindrop cakes, which are like clear Jell-O in the shape of a raindrop. Once you've made your choice, grab a seat at one of the shop's tables or at the bar to enjoy.
To make rolled ice cream, toppings are chopped up on a cold plate, then a raw cream mixture is added. These are then mixed and chopped together, spread out thinly over the cold tray, and sauces can be drizzled on top. The ice cream is then scraped into rolls.
Each order of rolled ice cream comes topped with a few final toppings like whipped cream or nuts, but you can also add extra ones like Pocky sticks and freshly toasted marshmallows to create your ultimate rolled ice cream treat.

Interview: Davi Pretto
By Jordan Cronk on May 3, 2017
To create his provocative new film Rifle, Brazilian filmmaker Davi Pretto looked as much to his country's past as to personal experience. A slow-burning meditation on cultural subjugation and the strain of personal and political history on one man's damaged psyche, the film employs techniques familiar to nonfiction filmmaking to a narrative of metaphysical consequence. Newly returned to a small village in South Brazil, the enigmatic Dione (Dione Avila de Oliveira) toils away his days in the local shepherding community, a vocation and way of life threatened by the encroaching influence of big city corporations. Against this expansive backdrop (shot in splendorous 2.39:1 widescreen by cinematographer Glauco Firpo), Dione moves methodically through his past, reconnecting with family and friends in an attempt to reconcile his memories with the shape-shifting spirit of a landscape he once knew so intimately. When he takes up a firearm to physically and psychologically confront this volatile environment, the film appears set to embark down a familiar road of violent recompense. Instead, Pretto gradually reveals Dione's motivations and temperament to be the result of unseen forces, his troubled past coming inexorably to bear on the present with grave results.
Part and parcel of a new movement of Brazilian filmmakers (see Aquarius' Kleber Mendonça Filho, Neon Bull's Gabriel Mascaro, and Júlia Murat, director of Pendular) working to reconcile repercussions of their country's checkered history within diverse sociopolitical milieus, Pretto is distinctly invested in the plight of the working class. As in Pretto's prior film, Castanha, a documentary doubling as performative fantasy, the director utilizes real people and real historical circumstances to craft a film whose fluid nature and stylistic economy leaves the particulars of its protagonist's plight an engaging, ever-evolving mystery.
Following its premiere in the Forum section at the 67th Berlinale, Pretto sat down with Film Comment to discuss the historical and socioeconomic particulars behind Rifle, and how an unrelated trip to a remote region of his home country inspired a fictional parable and a rare alternate history of a beleaguered state.
Tell me about the area of Brazil where you shot the film.
We shot in Vacaíqua, a very small village in the southern area of Brazil, near Rio Grande Do Sul, the state where I live. It's a region on the border of Uruguay, one very important to the history of the state. Two hundred years ago it was part of one of the biggest conflicts in the history of Brazil. So it's a region that's important for the history of the state and for the conflict and the situations that are happening there right now.
How familiar were you with the shepherding profession?
I'm actually from Porto Alegre, the capitol of the state. But Richard Tavares, the co-writer of the film, was born in the countryside—not exactly in Vacaíqua, but nearby, and where he lives has these same kinds of landscapes. For us the writing process included a very long research period, as it was important to not only get in touch with the people who live there, but also to find the stories and all the different things we were trying to add into the script—not only stories, but also feelings. I live in a different part of the state, but all the things that happened there in the past—and are still happening there—are things that [our community] talk about all the time. Because these are things that are important to us and represent a lot to us.
How did the collaboration with Richard begin? What was the initial idea for the film?
Richard invited me six years ago to the region, where we were traveling and working together on another project. But while we were there we started to see these little houses off in the fields, and we started to talk about them and this region and the history of this region. And then a few months later he came to me with a short story [inspired by these conversations], which provided the very first ideas for the film. The short story already had the main structure you see in the script, this ruptured structure in two parts, with the first part in the house and the second part in the roads and in the fields. But basically it amounted to four or five years of writing, working on it at home but at the same time going to the region to mix the things from the short story with the things we discovered and the people that we met as we explored the area. So it turned out to be a huge mixture of things, but the main structure came from the short story.
One of the main subjects in the corporatization of labor and the encroachment of big business, and feels fairly political as a result. Is this a topic you're particularly invested in?
Yes, particularly because these are things that have been happening in the region for almost 300 years. The region was built when Brazil was still an empire, and this land was given by the empire to their rich landowners, so this situation was constituted from the very beginning of our state. So those in the region with very little land have been resisting for a long time. But, I should say, these things that I'm telling you are not in the history books. The part of this story that they tell in the history books is completely different [than the reality]. So it's very naive to think that the rich landowners are very nice to the people, or that they were ever fighting to help the people against the government. So for us one of the goals of this project was to present another side to history—an objective side—and to show something different and to share something that people from that region really feel.
Your prior film, Castanha, was more of a nonfiction film with fictionalized elements. Rifle is more of a narrative film with nonfiction elements. How did the approach to each film differ?
Both films were actually written at the same time. I began working on Rifle in 2010, and it was 2012 when I began Castanha. So the process was simultaneous. So for me I was trying to play with similar ideas but with different approaches for each project. Castanha was more like a dance, like you're moving to both sides through the film's reality and its fantasy. In Rifle the line is more clear. But my intention with both projects was essentially the same, to play with cinematic codes and genres, and also to play with this line between fantasy and reality. My intention was not to be clear in what was documentary and what was fiction, but to mix both of these things and to create something different from these various codes and genres.
How did you cast the film? Are these nonprofessional actors?
My first idea for the film was to find a real family. But it was very complicated, mostly because a lot of the young people leave this region for the city at a very young age because there aren't schools there. And also if they want a job they need to go to the city to find one since there aren't too many opportunities in the countryside. But I ended up finding Dione and the family toward the very end of the research and casting process. They had no experience with acting, or cameras—and actually Dione and the family only went to the cinema for the first time ever to see this movie! In the history of Brazilian cinema—or at least the films that have been shot in my state—all the actors have come from either Porto Alegre or São Paulo. This is another political aspect to the film: we were trying to create a film with the people from this region, to be able to share their stories with them, and not bring in famous actors [to tell their stories]. It was important to make this connection and hopefully make us feel to them like we're part of a family, or a true friendship. We wanted to create an environment where they could feel confident and be part of the production.
But as far as the process, with Castanha I hadn't done any kind of rehearsals. This time the idea was to talk a lot about the script with the actors and to create an atmosphere where they could not only understand the story, but appropriate the story. So when we shot the film they knew the scenes but they weren't just repeating the dialogue that I brought to them. Sometimes they were doing some improvisations, or bringing something to the scenes that they thought [might work]. So it was a two-sided process—things were changing.
There are a couple of strange moments in the film, particularly the image of the burning truck and the mentally handicapped man on the roadside, that don't seem to correlate with the progression of the narrative and feel more like premonitions, or manifestations of the main character's psyche. How did you come to these images?
Actually the handicapped guy in the USA t-shirt came from something I saw while researching. It's not the actual guy in the movie wearing this t-shirt, but I did see a guy on the road with a mental disorder. And as it turns out, when speaking about him with a woman I had met, I learned that he was actually her brother, and every day he would walk around alone like this. So this is where the main idea for that scene came from. But my intention with the more abstract scenes was to create and in some way express the things that you feel when you're in this region. Because in this frontier, which evokes a kind of mystery, the fear and the enemy is always present, but you can't exactly see any of this. So the idea was to re-create this kind of unrealistic sense of place. The sequence with the burning car was something that we heard about but didn't see. During the research process we spoke with many people who described strange things that they've seen at night, like a circle of fire in the fields—weird stuff. I quickly realized that this is a region where people are more open to feel and to see different things, whether they exist or not. So we were trying to create this same sense cinematically and share it with the audience, that something else could exist out there.
Being a young filmmaker, one can help but trace influences. Were you looking to certain filmmakers or genres? Lisandro Alonso came to mind.
During the actual production of the film what I was watching was Westerns. Not specifically as a visual reference, but since I was researching all these topics and subjects, I realized many of them had aspects of western myths. So I started to re-watch all these Westerns from the '30s and '40s, all the way up through the '60s. But of course there are also some working filmmakers I find interesting. Maybe not so much Lisandro Alonso, but certainly Pedro Costa or Apichatpong.
The movie keeps revealing bits of information along the way that seem to intended to reorient how we think about the character's actions. How did you come to this structure?
Well, from the beginning the idea was to create a film that you can feel as the character, as if you are the character. And because our memories, as people, are fragmented, the character should also—and at the same time as the audience—be discovering this world. He doesn't remember things beyond the film—he can't remember his past. He's discovering and rediscovering things along the way. For example, when he finds the book with the girl's phone number, we're discovering this along with the character. It was an attempt to bring this fragmented past into the present—to discover from scene to scene.

TIP! Coffee is not necessarily an unhealthy drink. Coffee has never been the bad aspect of the morning ritual, it's the sugar and cream that is added to it.
What ingredients are needed for a great cup of coffee? Prior to making your next pot of coffee, you should find out what choices you have. Read this article to find out what is needed for outstanding coffee.
TIP! If you enjoy brewing coffee for yourself, try giving it a stir in the pot right after it finishes brewing. Stirring the coffee helps distribute the flavor and aroma throughout the entire pot.
Sugar is not an option if you suffer from diabetes, so using a substitute can help to sweeten your coffee without effecting your blood sugar levels. Stevia is a natural product derived from plants, so it will sweeten your drink without adding unnecessary glucose to your bloodstream or weight to your waist. It is readily available in health food shops and higher-end groceries.
TIP! Make sure that you use high quality water with your coffee. If the water you use does not have a favorable taste, your coffee will not have a great taste either.
Coffee is pretty good for you if you lay off the extras. Coffee by itself is not unhealthy, but adding too much cream or sugar can make it so. Try an almond milk latte sweetened with honey or stevia in order to remove the unhealthy elements of this beverage.
TIP! When purchasing coffee beans, don't keep them inside the same bag you bought them in after opening them. It is vital that you keep them from the air and the light.
Make sure your coffee is stored in airtight containers. Exposed beans makes for stale coffee. Bulk coffee bags are also a bad choice, as they lose flavor fast after they are opened. These types of bags are best used when coffee beans need to cool down after they are roasted.
TIP! Makes sure your brewing water is clean and tastes good. If the water is dirty, your coffee isn't going to taste good.
Do you want to impress your guests? Try jazzing up the way it looks by decorating the lattes. You just need a little time to start achieving floral and heart designs that will delight guests. Try mixing up melted chocolate and milk and continue to practice each time you brew coffee.
Now that you're more knowledgeable about coffee, you can make a decision for your next brew. You may want to try many methods. You might already enjoy coffee and want to try something new. Remember to use the tips you have read about in this article when you make coffee next.

Hour Detroit
Molly Abraham
Restaurants have been Molly Abraham's beat since 1969, when she wrote her first review for The Detroit News. "The best part of covering restaurants, as I've done for a lot of years, is the diversity of the scene. From tiny cafes to major productions, there's real variety," she says. Hour Detroit's annual Restaurant of the Year, however, requires the highest standards. "It must be ambitious in menu, meticulous in setting, and it must offer top-notch service. This year's choice achieves all of these goals." A native Detroiter who has lived in New York and San Francisco (the latter city is where she says she learned about restaurants), Abraham writes about the local dining scene in every issue of Hour.
The genesis of Richard Bak's article on Hank Ballard (Twist of Fate) and the Detroit origins of "The Twist" was some old home movie footage he came across while researching a documentary about Detroit in the early 1960s. "There was all sorts of footage of people of all age groups twisting away at birthday parties and weddings," the Dearborn-based writer says. "I remembered what a phenomenon the dance had been when I was young, and how big of a deal Chubby Checker once was." Unlike Chubby, who is still pivoting on stage, Bak admits his limbs are too brittle to risk on the dance floor. "My youngest daughter just got engaged," he says. "I'm saving what very few moves I have left for her wedding."
Ryan Patrick Hooper
As a freelance writer living in Detroit for five years, doing a police ride-along was a journalistic dream for Ryan Patrick Hooper. When the opportunity to cover the Wayne State University Police Department (Midtown's Boys in Blue) came up, he immediately requested to be paired up with an officer and hit the streets. "It makes you feel extremely proud of your local police force to see them work up close and understand the dangers they face," says Hooper, a first-time Hour Detroit contributor. "Of course, everything was calm while I was around. A few hours after I left, a high-speed car chase happened. It never unfolds like a big budget action movie, does it?"
Joe Vaughn
Joe Vaughn has been photographing Hour Detroit's Restaurant of the Year for more than a dozen years. What's the secret to the success of this year's selection? "Tre Monti revolves around [operating partner] Zharko [Palushaj]," Vaughn says. "His attention to detail, from high-end ingredients to making fresh homemade pasta, separates Tre Monti from the pack." A Bloomfield Hills-based photographer and regular Hour contributor, Vaughn has recently done work for Mario Batali, Martha Stewart Living, Orient-Express, HBO, Sports Illustrated, and Fast Company.

Differentiated THP-1 macrophages activated with 100 ng/ml lipopolysaccharide were cultured with standard medium or Caco- 2-derived conditioned medium. The control (CON) group of THP-1 cells was untreated in standard medium. THP-1 cells in standard medium groups were incubated in either glucose-free (φ) or glucose containing (25 mM) medium. The THP-1 cells in the conditioned medium groups were incubated with either glucose-free (φ) or glucose-containing (G, 25 mM) culture media obtained from Caco-2 cells. Levels of (a) interleukin-8 and (b) macrophage inflammatory proteins-1α were determined in macrophage cultures. *P < 0.05 versus respective standard medium groups; #P < 0.05 versus respective φ groups treated with lipopolysaccharide. The difference between the lipopolysaccharide and CON groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05), and the statistical labels were omitted from the figures for clarification of the results (n = 8/groups).

George Davis  (1876 – 20 September 1937) was a New Zealand politician and trade unionist.

Biography

Early life
Born in England in 1876, Davis sailed to New Zealand as a child settling in Auckland and eventually became a trade unionist. He became the Secretary of the Auckland Drivers' Union in 1899, a position he held until retiring just prior to his death due to ill health. At 38 years of service he was the longest serving union secretary in Auckland. In 1909 he was made a Justice of the Peace.

Political career
Davis contested the 1910 Auckland East by-election as the official candidate of the Labour Party where he came in second place. George Irving McKnight had originally been chosen by the Labour Party, however he proved unsatisfactory. His endorsement was rescinded and Labour chose to sponsor Davis instead. The local prohibition league also endorsed Davis as the Liberal candidate (and eventual winner) Arthur Myers owned a brewery.

He stood for the Roskill electorate in the New Zealand House of Representatives in  for the Labour Party where he placed third out of four candidates.

Davis was a member of the Auckland City Council serving from 1919 to 1923 and again between 1927 and 1929. Davis was also Chairman of the Auckland Labour Representation Committee.

Death
Davis died in 1937. He was survived by his wife and adult children.

Graffiti Is Vandalism
Is graffiti public art? In my opinion graffiti is vandalism. From what I have read in the two articles some people see graffiti as art while others disagree. Graffiti destroys private property. Its cost a lot of the cities money to clean up the graffiti. Lastly the graffiti is being sold without the knowledge of the artist causing a stir. Graffiti is vandalism because it's on private property. It's not fair for the owners of the property to have their property destroyed. "I find it offensive to…

Controversy On Graffiti
Graffiti The controversy on whether graffiti is considered art or not is still going on.

Graffiti Argumentative Essay
from the New York Times, "from the perspective of a graffiti writer, the debate about whether graffiti is art or crime is pointless because, ideally, it is both." Although it's artistic merits can't be denied, graffiti is still in fact a form of vandalism. Graffiti is not a crime - trespass and damage to property are, says Felisbert. Artists will tag the property of the public and private, which in turn becomes costly for taxpayers and business and property owners for it to be cleaned up.…

You can be talking to someone who loves art and believes that graffiti is in no way, shape, or form a crime, but you can also talk to someone who could not care less about art automatically making them think that it is just another form of vandalism.

2 средно училище "Академик Емилиян Станев" е средно общообразователно училище в гр. София, с адрес ул. "Ген. Суворов" №36. Патрон на училището е българският писател акад. Емилиян Станев.

История
Училището е създадено през учебната 1974/1975 като Второ ЕСПУ, а на 11 май 1975 г. получава името " Боянският майстор". Ръководството и педагогическият колектив на училището си поставят нелеката задача, в новата добре оборудвана сграда, да се постигат високи резултати в учебно-възпитателния процес. "Боянският майстор" става символът на един храм на просветата – от първи клас до колежа/ университета.

През 1978/79 г. училището е базово към ЦИУУРК на СУ "Св. Кл. Охридски". От 25 юни 1979 г. негов патрон е академик Емилиян Станев и се именува 2. средно общообразователно училище "Акад. Емилиян Станев".

От 1980 г. по идея на МНП, и със съдействието на БАН, академик Благовест Сендов започва 10-годишен експеримент по проблемите на образованието, в който се включва и 2. СОУ "Акад. Емилиян Станев". Училището е асоцииран член към глобалната училищна мрежа на училищата към ЮНЕСКО.

От 2012/2013 г. 2. СОУ е член на "Асоциацията на Кеймбридж училищата в България", а от 2013/2014 г. става базово училище на СУ "Св. Климент Охридски".

С влизането в сила на Закона за предучилищното и училищното образование, считано от 1 август 2016 г., 2. Средно общообразователно училище "Акад. Емилиян Станев" продължава дейността си като 2. средно училище "Акад. Емилиян Станев".

In 2003 Debbie received a very direct call to full-time ministry while on a short-term mission trip in Haiti.
After earning her D.Min. from Life Christian University, God's call took her to various countries where she has ministered the Word of God to children, youth, women, missionaries, and pastors, and church leaders.

So it happened that I won an award for doing my job. How weird is that? I wrote a bit more about the whole thing over at MTP, if you're interested in my pre-gala jitters.
What I enjoyed most about the day was getting ready for the do with the lovely Emma.


Maybe you've heard that it's really important to eat before morning exercise? Perhaps you've tried it, but you had limited time and really regretted it during your workout because you just felt heavy, slightly nauseas and had tummy issues? Don't fret, you are not alone, this is a common scenario and a major reason that many people do their workouts in a fasted state. Today I'm going to explain why it is so important to eat before you exercise in the morning and give you tips on WHAT to choose when time is not on your side.
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH EXERCISING IF I HAVEN'T EATEN YET?
Simply put to get the most out of your training and to be able to go for longer it is a good idea to consume something before you train.
Your pre-exercise meal should be eaten in a period of 1-4 hours before training. Now, obviously if you are training at 5.30am, eating at 2am is really not an option for most recreational athletes. You may be willing to make some sacrifices before a competition or race, but certainly not a few times a week. Eating 1 hour before may be more realistic, but brings its own limitations; most people really can't stomach much so soon before.
Contrary to the types of carbohydrates one should generally try to include in their diet, in this meal you want to try steer away from high fibre foods. Low fibre foods are digested more quickly and will help to prevent gastrointestinal upsets and leave you feeling lighter during exercise4.
You are most likely not going to be able to stomach a large serving of anything so soon before exercise. My feeling here is something is better than nothing, even if you can only tolerate a few mouthfuls of a carbohydrate rich food, it is more fuel than you would have had if you had foregone the meal.
Like fibre, while (good) fats play an important role in our diets, they should be kept to a minimum before exercise. The reason for this is that fat slows down absorption of food and will leave you feeling heavy and uncomfortable. As a side note, if you include dairy remember to go low-fat or fat-free.
This is a dual-purpose guideline. Firstly, this will help you to get in some fluids and assist with hydration levels. Secondly, many people find a liquid meal easier to stomach in the morning, it is also often more convenient to drink a meal on-the-go rather than sitting down to eat.
What works for one person may not work for the next, try different food options until you learn what works best for you. A small period of trial for a lifetime of brilliant morning workouts.
Now that we know the rules, here are some examples of foods that fit the criteria. Remember to keep portions small.
FUTURELIFE® High Energy Smart food™ smoothie, see http://futurelife.co.za/futurelife-high-energy-smart-food-strawberry-star/, keep the leftovers for after your workout.
I hope that this information will help you to go from strength to strength in your training and that you achieve all your goals in whatever sport makes you smile.
← How is it Possible for me to Train this Hard and not Lose Weight?


Welcome to Copper Horse Crusade where we developed the concept of sustainably saving slaughter bound horses. An emphasis is placed on resource management - we believe in doing the most good for the greatest number of horses. With almost twenty years of experience pulling horses and placing them in good homes from Florida to California, Copper Horse Crusade has found a method of "rescuing" horses that is a departure from the norm.
Horse rescues are not exempt from the principles of resource management and sustainability. Feed, hay, time, money, and space are all resources that have to be managed wisely in order to do the most good for the greatest number of horses. When the number of horses that a rescue takes in exceeds the amount of resources available bad things happen. Saving horses takes more than good intentions, it takes sound principles, responsible resource management and a lot of commitment.
Every horse who comes to CHC undergoes a 30 day evaluation – at minimum – to determine the type of work and rider that will suit them best. Professional training is available for every horse as well as medical, farrier and dental attention as needed. The arena riding and trail ride photos and videos you see of CHC horses are an important part of their evaluation and training as every aspect of good equine partnership is tested and then refined, improved or corrected as needed before a horse is placed. Our goal is to give our horses the tools they need to be safe and well-loved members of their forever homes.
