I've been in awe of Pat McGrath's tremendous talent for years. Back in 2009, I attended a Dolce & Gabbana makeup event where I bought practically everything she advised the makeup artist to use on me (and I still have the autographed compact in my collection). Since then, I've been fortunate to see her at various industry events with CoverGirl and at NYFW. Every time she cheerfully greets me with "Hi sweetie, how are you?", I literally freeze and can't speak. Celebrities are cool, but Pat McGrath is my version of a rock star. When I heard that she was beginning to release her own products under the brand Pat McGrath Labs, I lost my mind and set several alarms for the first launch.
I was one of the 1,000 lucky people who were able to purchase her first product, Gold 001. When my order arrived, I immediately tore right into the large bag of gold sequins to find my Gold 001, mixing spatula, second life container, and Mehron Mixing Liquid. The pigment comes dome-shaped in a pan, and the instructions say you should use the spatula to break your pigment into the second life container. I'm not quite ready to part with the convenience the pan, but I also feel like the pigment is quite fragile and could crumble on its own (similar to Stila Kitten or the Kat Von D Metal Crush Eyeshadows).
If you use the pigment dry, it's slightly sheerer than when wet, and the larger shimmer pieces stand out more. When used with the included mixing medium (you can also use water, MAC Fix+, etc), it does create a liquid metal effect, but I haven't yet found the perfect combination of medium & pigment to get a perfectly opaque application. After Gold 001 arrived, I tore through my collection to find another product that had the same tone & brightness, but I couldn't find anything similar. So far I've only worn it all over the lid or as a liner, but with the holiday season upon us, I hope I'll get more adventurous soon!
Pat McGrath Labs just announced the next product, Phantom 002, available on 12/15. Obviously, I already have several alarms set. Also shoutout to Lola for photobombing my attempts at capturing Gold 001 as an eyeshadow.
Ugh. So sad I missed out on this. Maybe another color in the future will be up my alley.
Hey babe! I have a feeling that it will come back. Did you see the previews for her new launch on 12/15?

did HAARP cause Malaysian Flight MH370 to crash
can any of the resident HAARP experts here go back to the time of Flight 370 disappearance and see if there was any atmospheric anomalies at the time?
could HAARP be an explanation for the puzzlement that surrounds the mystery of what has happened to the plane, such as pilot confusement no mayday call,
not being able to find the plane because HAARP was affecting Radar systems including the plane causing it to stray way off course and crash far away from suspect area of where it was presumed to go down
video of radar anomalies could HAARP be the cause?
Occams Taser
Re: did HAARP cause Malaysian Flight MH370 to crash
it didn't crash so your theory is BS
ok then where is it?
this plane had the last known contact with MH370
"MUMBLINGS"
sounds like the pilots was completely disoriented,
'INTERFERENCE': Pilot in another plane was flying 30 minutes ahead of MH370
SEPANG: A BOEING 777 pilot, who was flying 30 minutes ahead of the missing Malaysia Airlines aircraft, said he established contact with MH370 minutes after he was asked to do so by Vietnamese air traffic control.
The captain, who asked to not be named, said his plane, which was bound for Narita, Japan, was far into Vietnamese airspace when he was asked to relay, using his plane's emergency frequency, to MH370 for the latter to establish its position, as the authorities could not contact the aircraft.
"We managed to establish contact with MH370 just after 1.30am and asked them if they have transferred into Vietnamese airspace.
"The voice on the other side could have been either Captain Zaharie (Ahmad Shah, 53,) or Fariq (Abdul Hamid, 27), but I was sure it was the co-pilot.
"There were a lot of interference... static... but I heard MUMBLING from the other end.
"That was the last time we heard from them, as we lost the connection," he told the New Sunday Times.

It is obvious that most here at GLP have no idea about HAARP does and even how it operates.
Even a cursory understanding of ionospheric heaters would show that your suggestion is ridiculous.
well i'm sorry that I don't have your vast understanding of atmospheric heaters but something appears to have had the pilots in a confusing state...how about ELF waves...something was going on in the cockpit at this time and it also at least 10 minutes past the last known radar contact which would od gave the pilots more than ample time to relay a mayday signal, they even think that the plane tried to turn around, if there was serious trouble onboard why no mayday call?
beeches
calling a theory or question ridiculous does NOT make it so.
in fact, it hints that the question or theory has validity that may be disturbing to some.
we only have each other. And that makes us rich.. . .
Wisdom in the man, patience in the wife, brings peace to the house and a happy life.
the transponder appeared to get turned off...why?
last contact with the pilots seems to show they were disoriented...why?
was something affecting the pilots that caused them to make a fatal mistake be it HAARP, ELF WAVES, LSD, or ALIEN MIND CONTROL,
to me it seems something went wrong in the cockpit
no more likely to be muslim terrorists nice try though...
doesn't proof it crashed.
well I can see that...but
the cockpit door should have been barred from entry during flight,
and that doesn't explain the strange cockpit mumblings heard by the pilot from the plane who had last contact with MH370,
he said he could recognize the co-pilots voice no mention of hearing a struggle, and after 9/11 I doubt any pilots is going to go down quietly
I don't think they were blown up out of the sky or any such thing....
I think high profile tech people are disappearing and going into the hollowed out cities they have made all over the world
BECAUSE SOME FUCKER KNOWS SOMEHTING I DON'T AND THEY DON'T WANT TO SHARE IT.
But I know something they don't know.
They aren't going to need that when Christ returns.
You guys are so obvious what did you do plant an airplane door so the Maylasians could find it.
It doesn't take a 'vast understanding' to realise that blaming HAARP for every major world event is FREAKING STUPID!!!!
Seriously, get an attention span and learn to use a search engine.
with 227 people aboard one would that someone would of got off a text message when the hijacking was happing
Have you tried texting 30,000' over International waters, you stupid fucking dolt?
I believe they need to do a thorough investigation of the co pilot
A Boeing 777 pilot flying 30 minutes from the missing Malaysia Airlines plane told the New Straits Times in Kuala Lampur, Malaysia that he made contact with MH370 minutes after Vietnamese air traffic control asked him to message the plane.
The captain, who declined to give his name, said his Narita, Japan-bound plane was well into into Vietnamese airspace when controllers — who could make contact — requested that he relay with his plane's emergency frequency a message to MH370 so that it would establish its position. "We managed to establish contact with MH370 just after 1:30 a.m. and asked them if they have transferred into Vietnamese airspace," the pilot reportedly told New Straits Times. "The voice on the other side could have been either Captain Zaharie (Ahmad Shah, 53,) or Fariq (Abdul Hamid, 27), but I was sure it was the co-pilot.
"There were a lot of interference… static… but I heard mumbling from the other end.
"That was the last time we heard from them, as we lost the connection," the pilot said, adding that he thought nothing of the lost contact since it happens frequently — until he learned of MH370 never landing.
"If the plane was in trouble, we would have heard the pilot making the Mayday distress call," the pilot said. "But I am sure that, like me, no one else up there heard it.
"Following the silence, a repeat request was made by the Vietnamese authorities to try establishing contact with them."

remember EgyptAir flight 990
The cockpit voice recorder (CVR) recorded the Captain excusing himself to go to the lavatory, followed thirty seconds later by the First Officer saying in Egyptian Arabic "Tawkalt ala Allah", which translates to "I rely on God." A minute later, the autopilot was disengaged, immediately followed by the First Officer again saying, "I rely on God." Three seconds later, the throttles for both engines were reduced to idle, and both elevators were moved three degrees nose down. The First Officer repeated "I rely on God" seven more times before the Captain suddenly asked repeatedly, "What's happening, what's happening?" The flight data recorder reflected that the elevators then moved into a split condition, with the left elevator up and the right elevator down, a condition which is expected to result when the two control columns are subjected to at least 50 pounds (23 kg) of opposing force.[1] At this point, both engines were shut down by moving the start levers from run to cutoff. The Captain asked, "What is this? What is this? Did you shut the engines?" The First Officer did not respond. The Captain repeatedly stated, "Pull with me" but the FDR data indicated that the elevator surfaces remained in a split condition (with the left surface commanding nose up and the right surface commanding nose down) until the FDR and CVR stopped recording. There were no other aircraft in the area. There was no indication that an explosion occurred on board. The engines operated normally for the entire flight until they were shut down. From the presence of a western debris field about 1,200 feet (370 m) from the eastern debris field, the NTSB concluded that the left engine and some small pieces of wreckage separated from the airplane at some point before water impact.[1]

Home ToyBuilder Labs Blog Filament dust contamination?
I have an estimated 17 hour plate that I launched a few hours ago. I am doing this with our Glow-in-the-dark PLA filament. Although I ran a long purge on the nozzle, I did not completely clean out the entire extruder -- and I just saw signs of contamination from the previously loaded blue ABS.
My guess here is that ABS dust in the drive gear is to blame. Since the print is otherwise looking pretty good, I am letting the job finish. Hopefully, the blue will be subtle enough not to be a problem. It will probably not matter at all when these items are glowing in the dark.

UrtheCast Announces Senior Management Changes and Provides Corporate and Financing Update
Posted: Friday, March 9, 2018
UrtheCast Corp. (TSX: UR) ("UrtheCast" or the "Company") provided an update today on corporate and operational matters.
Further to the update provided on January 31, 2018, the Company confirms that it has continued to advance the financing negotiations with the selected institutional investor to close the previously announced financing for the UrtheDaily™ Constellation. As previously disclosed, the financing is subject to the completion of final documentation, the lender's completion of confirmatory due diligence and approval by our Board of Directors. The amount available under the debt financing facility for the UrtheDaily™ Constellation will be approximately US$140 million. In addition to customary drawdown conditions, the conditions to drawdown under the proposed financing include the Company receiving US$45 million from subordinated capital sources. Key elements of the US$45 million include US$20 million of available vendor financing and will require an additional US$25 million of subordinated capital or equity financing. The Company is continuing to explore all alternative sources for such balance of US$25 million. The financing package described above will fund US$185 million of the approximately US$195 million required for the UrtheDaily™ Constellation.
The Company continues to work towards completing the financing documentation for the financing facility and the subordinated capital financing; however, there can be no assurance that the debt financing, the subordinated capital financing or any equity offering will be completed on the terms currently being negotiated or at all.
Due to the timing to complete the UrtheDaily™ financing and receipt of certain receivables, the Company's cash balance has decreased from approximately $25 million, as at the end of the third quarter of 2017, to approximately $12 million as at February 28, 2018.
The Company's Board of Directors is addressing the Company's financial position by taking the following immediate steps:
1. Execute the UrtheDaily™ debt financing and related subordinated capital or equity offering as expeditiously as possible. The Company's first priority is to close the UrtheDaily™ financing and to identify, secure and close the most favourable subordinated capital or equity financing that can be obtained to satisfy the pre-condition to drawdown.
2. Strengthen the Management Team. On March 8, 2018, Greg Nordal, a member of the Company's Board of Directors since October 2013 with significant executive experience, was appointed as Interim CEO to refocus the operations of the Company and execute on a performance improvement plan. UrtheCast's Chair, Tye Burt, commented: "We are delighted to have someone of Greg's calibre and experience to lead the next stage in our development as a growing geospatial data and geoanalytics provider." The Board has initiated a search for a permanent CEO.
Former President and CEO, Wade Larson, who was a founder of the Company, will be stepping down as CEO and director and moving into a new role as a special advisor to the Board focused on the strategic business development of the Company's innovative SAR technology. UrtheCast's Chair, Tye Burt, commented: "The Board appreciates the contributions Wade has made to the Company from its inception and we look forward to his contribution in advancing the Company's SAR technology business."
3. Implement Performance Improvement and Financing Initiatives. In addition to Seaport Global Securities LLC, the Company's advisor on the UrtheDaily™ debt financing, the Company has retained FTI Consulting Canada Inc. to advise it in assessing its immediate performance improvement, cost reduction and financing options. The Company is also refocusing its business, which includes a clear focus on the construction and development of the UrtheDaily™ Constellation and deriving value from our SAR technology.
The Company will host a conference call at 4:30 p.m. ET (1:30 p.m. PT) on March 19, 2018 to report on its 2017 fourth quarter and full-year financial results.

What are chemosynthetic communities?
Chemosynthesis is a process very similar to photosynthesis, but chemical energy is used instead of light energy to make food from the carbon in carbon dioxide. Many other animals are associated with these chemosynthetic communities because of this increased productivity.
Where are chemosynthetic communities?
Chemosynthetic communities have been found in hot springs on land, and in cold seeps, on sunken ships, and even decomposing whale carcasses on the seafloor.
What is the definition of chemosynthesis in science?
Chemosynthesis can be defined as the biological production of organic compounds from C-1 compounds and nutrients, using the energy generated by the oxidation of inorganic (e.g., hydrogen gas, hydrogen sulfide, ammonium) or C-1 organic (e.g., methane, methanol) molecules.
What does chemosynthetic ecosystem mean?
Chemosynthetic ecosystems form where chemical energy from subsurface geological or microbiological processes gets available at the seafloor. They are called "cold seeps" because they are independent of magmatic heat and hence functionally different from hydrothermal ecosystems.
Are there chemosynthetic communities in the Gulf of Mexico?
Frequently fringing these chemosynthetic communities are filter-feeding species such as sponges, corals, and hydroids, as well as the many species that live on them. Interestingly, seep communities vary depending on their depth within the Gulf of Mexico.
What is an example of chemosynthesis?
The energy source for chemosynthesis may be elemental sulfur, hydrogen sulfide, molecular hydrogen, ammonia, manganese, or iron. Examples of chemoautotrophs include bacteria and methanogenic archaea living in deep sea vents.
What is chemosynthesis in geography?
(kē′mō-sĭn′thĭ-sĭs, kĕm′ō-) The synthesis of organic compounds by certain bacteria, especially in deep-sea hydrothermal vents, using energy obtained from the chemical oxidation of simple inorganic compounds. Chemosynthesis is thought to have been used by the first forms of life on Earth.
What is chemosynthesis kid definition?
From Academic Kids Chemosynthesis is the biological conversion of 1-carbon molecules (usually carbon dioxide or methane) and nutrients into organic matter using the oxidation of inorganic molecules (e.g. hydrogen gas, hydrogen sulfide) or methane as a source of energy, rather than sunlight, as in photosynthesis.
How do chemosynthetic habitats differ from photosynthetic ones?
Photosynthesis occurs in plants and some bacteria, wherever there is sufficient sunlight – on land, in shallow water, even inside and below clear ice. Chemosynthesis occurs in bacteria and other organisms and involves the use of energy released by inorganic chemical reactions to produce food.
What is the difference between photosynthetic and chemosynthetic bacteria?
The key difference between photosynthetic and chemosynthetic bacteria is that photosynthetic bacteria obtain energy from sunlight in order to produce carbohydrates while chemosynthetic bacteria obtain energy from the oxidation of inorganic substances in order to produce carbohydrates.
What is seep in sea?
A cold seep (sometimes called a cold vent) is an area of the ocean floor where hydrogen sulfide, methane and other hydrocarbon-rich fluid seepage occurs, often in the form of a brine pool.
What organisms live in cold seeps?
Organisms such as shrimps and crabs feed on the detritus produced by the mussels, clams and tubeworms, and predatory organisms such as octopus, fish and crustaceans are then attracted to this vibrant community to complete the food chain. Many of the species present are only found in association with cold seeps.
Where are chemosynthetic organisms found?
Chemosynthetic organisms can be called chemoautotrophs . Chemoautotrophs live in environments where sunlight is unable to reach. Bacteria that use chemosynthesis can thrive in Arctic and Antarctic polar regions. They can also be found in soil, lava mud, hot springs, and hydrothermal vents.
What kind of organisms do chemosynthesis?
Chemoautotrophs, organisms that obtain carbon through chemosynthesis, are phylogenetically diverse, but also groups that include conspicuous or biogeochemically-important taxa include the sulfur-oxidizing gamma and epsilon proteobacteria , the Aquificae, the methanogenic archaea and the neutrophilic iron-oxidizing bacteria.
What do organisms use chemosynthesis?
Chemosynthesis Chemosynthesis Definition. Chemosynthesis is the conversion of inorganic carbon-containing compounds into organic matter such as sugars and amino acids. Chemosynthesis Equation. There are many different ways to achieve chemosynthesis. Function of Chemosynthesis. Types of Chemosynthetic Bacteria.

Students with autism may face challenges at college, but that doesn't mean they all struggle in the same ways.
DRS connects students to clubs and programs, like SHOUT Peer Mentors, Social Xchanges and Eye to Eye to break down environmental barriers students with autism spectrum disorder may face so they can succeed in college. These barriers can be social, like anxiety when choosing groups in class or asking for help, or academic, like being prone to distraction and needing extra time on assignments or exams.
SHOUT Peer Mentors is a student-led mentoring program open for, but not exclusive to students with autism. Social Xchanges is a support group for students on the spectrum that fosters conversations and hosts events like pizza nights and bowling trips. Eye to Eye is a peer mentoring group that pairs college students with learning differences and learning disabilities with children. Students with ASD who also have other learning differences or disabilities may choose to join Eye to Eye.
Ian Fay, an undeclared sophomore in the College of Liberal Arts with Asperger's syndrome, uses DRS accommodations for extra time on assignments and exams. Asperger's syndrome is a milder form of ASD often characterized by high intelligence and lacking social skills, according to the Associated Press.
Fay uses slam poetry to educate others about autism. As a poet for Babel Poetry Collective, an award-winning slam poetry club, he feels comfortable with members of the group despite other social challenges in college, he said.
The DRS' comprehensive approach to classroom accessibility, which focuses on a universal design, sets it apart from services at other universities, Thomas said. Universal design is a concept that works for people of all abilities without needing to make modifications for certain individuals, according to the Universal Design Project, a Virginia-based nonprofit aiming to make communities more welcome to people with disabilities.
One helpful strategy a professor can use is to assign groups in group projects, rather than give students the freedom to do so themselves, he added.
Students with autism can apply to the Leadership and Career Studies program, a four-year certificate program in the Institute on Disabilities.
Students are given a coach, an undergraduate student who offers them academic support and social assistance in student organizations and activities, to supervise them through the program.
The program is non-degree, but it offers career training and employment at the end of the four years, said Kathy Miller, the director of community services at the Institute on Disabilities.
Some students with ASD may need extra time to transition to college, and the Leadership and Career Studies coaches can help them through this, Miller said.
"Like every other student who comes to college, the hope is that you'll be able to find a job when you graduate and live on your own and contribute to society," Miller added.

Another Popular Billings Business is Closing, Many Others Have Reduced Hours
Johnny V Published: August 23, 2021
If you've been out to eat in Billings recently, you will notice that some establishments have been forced to change their hours of operations, and other restaurants are having to close all together.
Some national fast-food chains with locations in Yellowstone County have gone to drive-in service only, while other local restaurants are just struggling to stay open due to a lack of help.
A posted sign at the Cracker Barrel in Billings asked for customers patience because of limited servers over the weekend, and The Sassy Biscuit Company in Downtown Billings had to briefly close in late July because there weren't enough workers.
Sassy Biscuit Co. reopened August 12 and is back to serving "delicious southern comfort breakfast food 7 days a week."
Another one of Billings' favorite cafes announced that they will be closing at the end of the week. According to the Harper and Madison Facebook page, the "neighborhood patisserie" at 3115 10th Avenue North will be "closing this chapter on Saturday, August 28."
In what owners called "a lovely ride," Harper and Madison says they've served over 130,000 cups of coffee, and over 50,000 caramel rolls since they opened.
Fans shared memories of the cafe on Facebook, with Molly Friesen saying she "made a tradition of getting good coffee and caramel rolls after having three of our babies instead of hospital breakfasts. A sweet story, indeed." Heather Ohs said on Facebook that the coconut cake from Harper and Madison "helped ease heartaches and loss along the way. This corner spot will always hold a special place for me."
After hinting they may have to close "possibly forever", another favorite family spot in Yellowstone County has confirmed they "have closed until further notice."
The Amusement Park Drive-In announced about a month ago they were considering closing the drive-in because there was "no help available," and the way movies are now being released directly to streaming services was also hurting attendance.
In a post on their Facebook page earlier this month, Amusement Park Drive-In confirmed they are now closed indefinitely, but added they "may have an event this fall."
While there was speculation the Drive-In was for sale, a post on their Facebook page last week said "It is not for sale, we are not going to sell. We are taking this time to do a re-set and are TRYING to figure things out for next season."

Q: When does a set sequence admit a limit? Let $(X,d)$ be a metric space, let $B_n \subset X$ be a set sequence in $X$, then we say that $B_n$ has a limit $B$ if
$$
B=\limsup_{n\to \infty}B_n=\liminf_{n\to \infty} B_n
$$
where $\limsup_{n\to \infty}B_n=\cap_{k=1}^\infty \cup_{j=k}^\infty B_n$  and  $\liminf_{n\to \infty}B_n=\cup_{k=1}^\infty \cap_{j=k}^\infty B_n$.
QUESTION 1 Are there sufficient conditions on the sets $B_n$ such that a limit set $B$ exists?
I would be tempted to say that a sufficient condition is the following:
(S.1) $\forall x\in B$ there exists $n_x$ and a sequence $(x_n)_{n\geq x}$ such that $x_n \in B_n$, for $n=n_x,n_x+1,\ldots$, and $d(x_n,x)\to 0$.
However this can be true only in the case where the set theoretical definition of limit set also admits a topological characterization, which may fail to be true.
For example, in the trivial case of $X=\mathbb{R}$ and $d$ the Euclidean metric, we could choose $B_n=\{1/n\}$ and have $B_{n}\cap B_{n+k}=\emptyset$, for any integer $k\geq 1$, thus $\liminf_{n\to \infty}B_n =\emptyset$; consequently, defining $B=\{0\}$, we would have that $B\neq \liminf_{n\to \infty}B_n$, whence we could not conclude $B=\lim_{n\to\infty}B_n$ even if the choice $x_n=1/n$ satisfies $x_n\in B_n$ and $x_n \to 0$.
QUESTION 2 would the following be sufficient?
(S.2) Condition (S.1) is satisfied and the sets $B_n$, $\limsup_{n\to \infty}B_n$ and $\liminf_{n\to \infty} B_n$ are nonempty and connected, but not singletons.

Which "Friends" TV Show Cardboard Cutout Would You Get?
There are some TV shows that are never forgotten. They're watched over and over again, and even loved by generations far removed from the original air time. Luckily, when shows such as the much loved "Friends" ends, nostalgia kicks in and we find ways to keep the stories going.
If you're looking for ways to keep the "Friends" TV show alive, then grab a "Friends" Cardboard Cutout and take a look at these following ways to use it.
Chances are, if you're looking for a "Friends" cardboard cutout, then you already have an event or creative idea in mind.
Often, cardboard cutouts of favorite characters are used in types of themed or costume parties. But those aren't the only places they can or should be used.
If a costume party or themed party sounds like the perfect use of your "Friends" cardboard cutout, but you aren't sure how to go about it, then keep reading for a quick guide on planning a "Friends" themed party.
Throwing a themed party doesn't take as much planning as you might think. However, there are several factors that you should consider.
For any party, the music sets the mood. But for a themed party, the music needs to represent all that the party is and should be. It needs to fit.
One of the best ways to do this is to pool the soundtracks from the show onto one playlist and use that as the background to your dinner or activities planned.
You can also find a projector, or simply use your TV and broadcast the shows. Start with the very first episode, or start somewhere in the middle. Either way, you'll have an interesting backdrop to set the tone throughout the party.
Themed parties often include activities. These can range from the generic fun such as bean bag toss to full-on, well-planned games that represent the theme.
Other times, simply having food (maybe food they eat frequently on the show), is enough to satisfy the theme and your guests.
Any themed party needs decorations that create the look and feel of the theme.
If you're throwing a "Friends" themed party, then you might want to dress the place up with "Friends" TV show merchandise, place a "Friends" sticker here and there, pass out or wear a "Friends" t-shirt.
Cardboard Cutout Standees has a customization tool that lets you customize your own life size cardboard cutouts to use for parties, games, as a gift or for anything else you can think of.
Check out Cardboard Cutout Standees for your customized "Friends" character cutouts and contact us for more information.

8th Cohort Call
How I Built Thriving Businesses on Both Sides of the U.S.-Mexico Border (and Why I Wouldn't Do It Any Other Way)
By Tom Foster
Ricardo Mora is an El Paso-based telecom entrepreneur, restaurateur, tech investor, and startup evangelist. His various ventures straddle the U.S. and Mexican markets, and give him a uniquely informed perspective on border politics. Business is better for everyone, he's found over the years, when companies–and people–on both sides of the border work together. –As told to Tom Foster
I was born in El Paso and grew up in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. My dad worked in the maquiladora industry–the large factories just south of the border–in Juárez, and my mom had a salsa bottling company in El Paso. Every day, I would cross the border to go to school in El Paso. Today, I live in El Paso, work mostly in Juárez, and have businesses on both sides of the border.
I got into the mobile-phone business 27 years ago, when I was going to college in El Paso. We were introducing cellphones to people we knew in Mexico–it was a good time to get into the business. Two years later, I dropped out of college and opened a cellphone store in Juárez. We grew that business to 32 stores in Mexico and six in the U.S., and I ended up selling the U.S. business. Eventually, I got involved in restaurants and opened a couple of U.S. franchises of El Taco Tote, a chain that started in Juárez.
Here's the reality: It's a long drive from El Paso to the next large U.S. city, Albuquerque. From Juárez, it's a long drive to the next large Mexican city, Chihuahua City. But El Paso and Juárez are right next to each other; they just happen to sit on opposite sides of a border. You can stand on one side and see the cars on the highway on the other side. You see the houses, you see the people. It's one binational community, and it's huge–more than 2.5 million people.

For the past 50 years, the economy in Juárez has been defined by the maquiladora industry. There are 340 factories. Seventy of the Fortune 500 companies are here. Historically, cheap labor has been the reason companies manufacture here.
Four years ago, I launched a startup incubator in Juárez called Technology Hub, and this spring we started an accelerator program there–with funding from Microsoft, Bosch, and other companies–to help startups that innovate on the manufacturing supply chain. That accelerator is called the Bridge, and there are six Mexican companies in it and six American. The workshops happen on both sides of the border, at Technology Hub and at an incubator in El Paso.
The annual dollar value of the manufacturing inputs in the state of Chihuahua is $39 billion, but only 2 percent of that supply chain comes from the region. The opportunity to change that is enormous, and there's a startup ecosystem beginning to focus on that, with firms like Boost Human–an early-stage company in El Paso that builds augmented-reality systems for businesses.
Closing the border–I don't think it's even possible. No matter what the rhetoric is or how tall the walls are, you just can't do it. And if you did, you would be cutting an artery that would drain its blood on both sides of the border. A lot of trade happens here. There are a lot of relationships.
I saw video footage earlier this year that showed a line of trucks stretching for more than 15 miles, waiting to get across the border, because so many border agents have been brought in to deal with asylum seekers. Drivers were waiting 10 hours to get across. These trucks carry auto parts and other goods to American plants, and to consumers. Shipments were getting delayed. It was bad. I read an article that said Juárez could lose 100,000 employees as a result. And if Juárez hurts, El Paso hurts too.

Thankfully that issue was resolved by large companies pressuring Washington. Now there's the threat of tariffs. I wouldn't say we're bracing for the next thing. But it's expected.
Of the circle of people whom I spend time with, probably 50 percent are like me: We cross the border all the time. El Paso and Juárez are just one community. There's no difference. They're linked at the hip.

Hype around 'Talaash' proof it's well-promoted: Aamir
Nov 30, 2012 IANS
Mumbai, Nov 30 (IANS) Low-key promotions for "Talaash" have worked in its favour, the movie's lead actor Aamir Khan believes. He says the hype around the film shows it has been marketed well.
"I think what we had planned for the marketing was a good plan and we have moved according to the plan," the 47-year-old said here Thursday at a special screening of the film.
"Now when the film releases, the hype that I see around the film indicates that the hype is not low it is very high actually. I am very happy with the promotions," he added.
As part of the promotions, Aamir made an appearance on TV show "C.I.D." and also on a Star Plus special.
"Both ideas were mine. 'C.I.D.' also and the interaction with Star Parivaar. I really enjoyed talking to them," Aamir said.

VFA-151 F/A-18E Crashes Near NAWS China Lake. The Status of the Pilot is Unknown.
Dario Leone Jul 31, 2019 Mar 7 2020 0
The F/A-18E Super Hornet assigned to the 'Vigilantes' of VFA-151 was based at Naval Air Station Lemoore.
A single-seat F/A-18E Super Hornet assigned to the 'Vigilantes' of Strike Fighter Squadron 151 (VFA-151) based at Naval Air Station (NAS) Lemoore, Calif., crashed on Jul. 31, 2019 in the morning at approximately 10 a.m. PST, east of Naval Air Weapons Station (NAWS) China Lake, California.
The status of the pilot is unknown.
"At approximately 10 a.m. PST, an F/A-18E Super Hornet assigned to the 'Vigilantes' of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 151 based at Naval Air Station Lemoore, Calif., crashed east of Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake, Calif.," read a statement from spokeswoman Lt. Cmdr. Lydia Bock provided to USNI News.
"Search and rescue personnel are on scene and the status of the pilot is currently unknown. The cause of the crash is currently under investigation."
A rescue team from the base and local officials are on the scene of the crash, Bock told USNI News.
VFA-151 is part of Carrier Air Wing 9 which returned to California earlier this year after completing a deployment aboard USS John C. Stennis (CVN-74).
VFA-151 transitioned to LOT 35/36 F/A-18E Super Hornets in February of 2013.
Included among the many achievements in VFA-151's proud history are the receipt of the Presidential Unit Citation, eight Armed Forces Expeditionary Medals, five Battle "E" awards, six Safety S's, six Navy Unit Commendations, and seven Republic of Vietnam Meritorious Unit Citations.

Starring: Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Bruce Willis, Bob Balaban, Kara Hayward, Frances McDormand, Jared Gilman
Theatrical Release Date: May 25, 2012
Blu-Ray Release Date: October 16, 2012 (Amazon.com)
Set on an island off the coast of New England in the 1960s, Moonrise Kingdom follows a young boy and girl falling in love. When they are moved to run away together, various factions of the town mobilize to search for them and the town is turned upside down – which might not be such a bad thing. Bruce Willis plays the town sheriff; two-time Academy Award nominee Edward Norton is cast as a camp leader; Academy Award nominee Bill Murray and Academy Award winner Frances McDormand portray the young girl's parents; the cast also includes Academy Award winner Tilda Swinton and Jason Schwartzman... (from MovieWeb.com)
I've never seen quite as unique a film directing style as that from director Wes Anderson. While Anderson hasn't made much family friendly work in his career, with the closest being Fantastic Mr. Fox, he has made cult classics over the years like Royal Tenenbaums, Life Aquatic and Rushmore. His most recent effort, Moonrise Kingdom, is as quirky as ever, also serving as the director's very first PG-13 rated film (all of his other works have been rated R or the PG-rated Mr. Fox). The end result is a mature look at young love and what classifies as love in our adulthood.
Anderson's style of filmmaking is about as much of an "acquired taste" as one can find in a director. His films have a distinct altered reality to them, with a lot of shots being centered and symmetrical, some awkwardly timed and placed close-ups, and an unusual way of panning from room to room in a cross-section fashion of a house or building (or submarine, as seen in Life Aquatic). The downside to his cinematic flavor is it can feel too fabricated or scripted at times. Sometimes the actors look too much like they're trying to act in a scene but within Anderson's stylistic framework. Usually the more skilled actors can overcome this and work within that space, but when it looks so much like the actor in a scene is very self-aware or self-conscious in deliberately acting in a choreographed manner for Anderson's style, it can further lift the viewer out of Anderson's world. It's something that is overcome by multiple viewings of Anderson's works, but undoubtedly the common movie watcher will not be so easily enticed by Anderson's cinematic ventures.
As usual, Moonrise Kingdom assembles an impressive cast for Wes Anderson's world. The story revolves around a young boy, Sam, who is a bit of an outcast in his boy scout troop who decides to run away with a girl, Suzy, who is known for being troubled and a handful. When the two go missing, with a nasty hurricane approaching their town, a search is launched to find the missing twelve-year-olds. The two are also a bit oddball and quirky in their own way (which fits with Anderson's style), but the love for each other is rather sweet and familiar. While I can't say I myself experienced such love at the age of twelve, I remember what it feels like to be completely smitten with a girl at the age of fourteen. Sam and Suzy's love is strange but sweet, awkward but cute, and although it gets a little raw at times, the two seem eager to commit themselves to one another, and that's what keeps their relationship endearing.
The peripheral characters in the film involve Scout Master Randy Ward, wonderfully played with bewilderment by Edward Norton; a weary police officer named Captian Sharp by Bruce Willis; and Suzy's father Walt Bishop, played by Bill Murray, who's starting to suspect the affair between his wife Laura (played by Frances McDormand) and Sharp. Norton and Willis stand out from these characters for having a bit more to do than Murray or McDormand, and they're also more interesting. Murray, sadly, doesn't have much to do other than playing Walt as disconnected and frustrated by the situations around him. It's a joy seeing Norton play the likeable and slightly incompetent Scout Master Ward, while Willis' tired cop may not seem like a stretch for him, he actually redeems himself by the film's end.
Whenever I've watched Anderson's work -- whether it's been one of his previous films in an edited form or Fantastic Mr. Fox -- I've found it tough to warm up to it right away. There's a lot to digest the first time you watch his movies, especially since sometimes it's hard to tell where he's going with the story. His brand of humor is also particularly left-of-center, so some jokes may not be apparently funny the first time. Usually by film's end, you can finally see what it is Anderson was shooting for, which makes repeat viewings best for digesting the filmmaker's intent. I wasn't sure what to expect from Moonrise Kingdom, but this film is right in line with all of the director's other work. There's seemingly random violence, some sexual content, heavier dramatic elements, and some profanity (but not as much as his R-rated films). The young love element for Moonrise Kingdom will probably make it more appealing to a wider audience, although that premise may not be strong enough to counteract the film's quirkiness. While I wouldn't recommend the movie for that age group, the story should spark some sentimental feelings in those who may be able to relate to it, while the Walt/Laura/Sharp love triangle story brings to light the trickier elements of adult romance and causes the characters to reevaluate their actions and behavior once the children go missing. It all leads up to a climax that involves a hurricane that really did hit their area in 1965 (a time in which this film is based), and it all wraps up with a satisfying conclusion.
The content for Moonrise Kingdom is undoubtedly PG-13. The opening scene that sweeps through the Bishop household gives a brief glance at a topless Frances McDormand as she's bending over a washtub while rinsing her hair out. It's brief and almost unnoticeable due to the color tone of the film and the position of Laura Bishop in the scene, but it's definitely there. The romance between Sam and Suzy gets a bit blunt as the two explore the sexuality of their relationship after they run away. They kiss and then attempt a French kiss and then Suzy invites Sam to touch her chest, which is clothed in only a thin bra. She also makes mention to him about his getting aroused as they hug each other. It's all purposefully awkward and it's certainly tangible. The two do share a tent together as well, but there is some verbal acknowledgment to the fact that the two haven't gone all the way, so to speak. Still, it's also awkward to see pre-teens exploring their sexuality at such a young and immature age, but there's an innocence to the way they view love in a childlike manner that reminds us older viewers what has been lost over time with age and responsibility. The contrast between the seemingly loveless marriage of Walt and Laura with the budding commitment of Suzy and Sam is thought-provoking.
Moonrise Kingdom is probably the strangest romantic comedy you'd see this year, but Anderson's unique indie approach is intriguing and helps make this film a fun one to watch. Still, his style is not for the casual moviegoer, but diehard fans of any of the cast or Anderson's previous work will probably love what he's done here with Moonrise Kingdom. It may not be his best work, or even the most accessible, but it does bring to mind that innocence and wonder once felt when we first fell in love.
Moonrise Kingdom is available in a nice Blu-Ray/DVD/Digital Copy/Ultraviolet combo pack or separately as just a DVD (and from the usual digital retailers). The high definition transfer looks great, and with Anderson's unique way of coloring his films, the movie is vibrant in HD. Along with the feature film are just a couple, skimpy extras that are really just a couple promos strung together as bonus features. It's unfortunate that nothing special was created just for the home video release.
A Look Inside Moonrise Kingdom (3:07) - This is a super brief featurette about the movie where the chief cast comment on the film and working with Anderson, as well as some brief on-set footage.
Welcome to the Island of New Penzance (6:11) - This featurette is a collection of four promos for the film hosted by actor Bob Balaban. It's split up in four parts: Bill Murray, Bruce Willis, Edward Norton and Wes Anderson, with Bob introducing each person, showing behind-the-scenes footage, film scenes, and talking about each actor (or the director) individually. It's only 6 minutes long for the total of all four people.
Set Tour With Bill Murray (3:09) - Bill Murray gives a sort-of set tour of the Bishop house, but ultimately it's just a silly, somewhat mock-tour as Bill jokes around and talks about working with the cast.
- John DiBiase, (reviewed: 10/13/12)
Sex/Nudity: As the camera passes from room to room, we briefly see a topless Laura Bishop, from the side, as she hangs over a sink washing her hair with just a towel around her waist; We briefly see a watercolor drawing of a nude woman getting out of a tub. It's not very realistic, but there is some detail; We find out that Laura Bishop is cheating on her husband with Captain Sharp; We see Suzy in a bikini top posing for one of Sam's drawings; We see Sam and Suzy in their underwear while dancing, and then they kiss. She asks if he can French kiss and he asks what that involves. She says "it's when the tongues touch" and they kiss again. She then says "it feels hard" and she adds that "it's ok, I like it" (meaning he's getting excited). She then says he can touch her chest and we see him place his hands on her bra top. After she says she thinks they'll grow bigger eventually, the scene ends; We see Walt shirtless with his pajama pants just below the waist; The scouts talk about Sam with Suzy saying they heard he got to "third base" and someone else said he "just felt her up."
Vulgarity/Language: 3 "g*dd*mn," 2 "S.O.B," 3 "h*ll," 1 "Holy Chr*st," 3 "d*mn," 1 "Oh my G-d," 1 "Dear G-d"
Alcohol/Drugs: We see Walt with a bottle of alcohol; Sharp pours a little beer for Sam. They talk more and then he pours more for him and Sam; We see a glass of wine next to Randy a couple times.
Blood/Gore: We see Suzy with her hand wrapped in gauze with some blood stains on it. Sam asks what happened and she says she cut it on a mirror; We see a kid running through the woods screaming with blood on his hand. We then see Suzy holding a pair of scissors with blood on them; We see a dog lying dead with an arrow sticking out of it and blood on him and on the ground; We see a boy lying on his stomach alive with Randy holding a handkerchief on a bloody wound on the kid's clothed back; Sam pierces Suzy's ears and we see blood dripping down the side of her head.
Violence: We see some scout kids carrying axes and knives and spiked clubs while hunting for a missing fellow scout; We briefly see a small doghouse on fire; We see a broken window and a girl picking glass out of her mother's hair; We see Sam punch a kid and run away; Suzy pushes a desk and lunges at a girl; We see Suzy shouting at her family but we don't hear what she's saying; Sam comes across his fellow scouts who threaten him. One drives at him on a motorbike and we see an arrow and scissors flash on the screen. We then see the kids running away, one with a bloody hand and then the bike stuck up in a tree with Suzy holding bloody scissors. We then see a dead dog with an arrow in it. Right after that, we see a kid in the back of a station wagon with blood on his back; Sam pulls the arrow out of a dead dog; Walt throws a shoe at Randy and then the Bishops start fighting with Randy and Sharp; Sam asks Suzy if she has her ears pierced and then we hear her screaming while he's trying to pierce her ear. She then asks him to do the other one; The boy who was stabbed challenges Sam, so Sam runs after him, punches him repeatedly where he was hurt and runs away. He's pursued to a field and gets hit by lightning, sending him in the air and catching his shoes on fire; We see a dam bust and water rush toward the camp; Water collapses poles around a small tent/building and we see fireworks go off inside. Randy rushes inside and rescues a man inside; Sharp holds a large tree branch with nails sticking out of it while threatening someone; Lightning hits the church steeple and we see three people hanging off of it. We then see that they're all okay and we see the steeple on top of a car on the ground and other scenes of desolation after the storm.


Few studies have explored pathways of youth initiation of alternative nicotine delivery systems (ANDS), such as e-cigarettes.
To learn more about his topic, a study team led by scholars at the Prevention Research Center of the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation conducted in-depth qualitative interviews with 49 Californian youth between 15-25 years who had vaped nicotine.
The interviews focused on youth's experiences and reasons for ANDS initiation and use.
The most common pathway reported by the participants was smoking to vaping (74%) followed by vaping prior to smoking, and then vaping but never smoking.
The results suggest that, regardless of initiation pathway, youth were generally aware of the health consequences of smoking and engaged in use of nicotine products having considered the relative risks. The use of ANDS is perceived as a transitional tool away from smoking.
These findings challenge conventional public health discourses about ANDS as a threat to youth's health.
The study results highlight the need for public health professionals to acknowledge harm reduction strategies of youth users of ANDS as public health messages are constructed and as policies for smoking cessation are crafted.

"it don't come easy": how ringo's debut with The beatles happened
August 1962 was a turbulent month for The Beatles. In trying to find a replacement for Pete Best, Brian had approached Bobby Graham, Ritchie Galvin and Johnny Hutchinson. Ringo, the drummer from Rory Storm and the Hurricanes with whom they had played before, agreed to join The Beatles. His debut was at Hulme Hall in the Victorian Model Village of Port Sunlight, Wirral, on 18th August 1962. The Fab Four was born.

Fab one hundred and Four: The Evolution of The Beatles
In an interview for The Fab one hundred and Four, Ian Hackett had suggested The Beatles for a previous dance. His father, Harry, booked the group for that legendary debut appearance of the first Fab Four line-up in August 1962. "Our home overlooked the Dell, a particularly lovely landscaped part of the village," recalled Ian. "It was just a few yards from Hulme Hall, the Bridge Inn and the Men's Club. While selling the Liverpool Echo outside Lever's, Monty Lister, one of my customers, approached me. He was the editor of the Port Sunlight News, with an offer I couldn't refuse.
Ticket for Ringo's debut with The Beatles at Hulme Hall
"Back in the spring of 1962, Harry, as Captain of the Golf Club, organised the Club's annual dance. He chose Hulme Hall as the venue, July 7th as the date and The Modernaires, as the main band. Then he asked me if I could think of a band to fill in during the Modernaires' break. I suggested The Beatles.
"On 7 July 1962, the Golf Club Dance came," recalled Hackett, the first of four appearances by The Beatles.
"They went down really well with my friends, although dad got some complaints about The Beatles." In spite of those complaints, they booked The Beatles to appear again on 18th August 1962. Little did they know how significant this day would be.
"we want pete"
Poster for Ringo's debut at Hulme Hall with The Beatles
"By having The Beatles headliners at Hulme Hall on August 18th, this showed that not all the adults were hostile. But there was a mass female chanting of 'We want Pete!' when they introduced their new drummer.
"The make-up of the audience was different for this show," recalled Ian, "as there were more young people than locals. The problem was that the local people were angry as the young interlopers wanted to show support for Pete Best. The Beatles never stood a chance. I was glad for this one that my dad took the flak, and not me!"
In spite of the audience reaction, Ian was impressed with The Beatles that night. "I loved their treatments of 'Twist and Shout' and 'Besame Mucho'" he said. "John's harmonica in general was great, but especially on Bruce Chanel's 'Hey Baby'. At that stage, they weren't playing that many original songs."
No photos are known to exist of The Beatles at Hulme Hall. However, I discovered a photo of Gerry and the Pacemakers performing there later in 1962.

Ringo, because of the animosity in the crowd, was not enjoying the night of his debut. "I ran into a miserable-looking Ringo in the gent's toilet during the break," recalled Ian. "I tried to cheer him up with a smile and an optimistic comment: 'Don't worry about tonight. Things can only get better.' And it was not long before they did."

Good nutrition is always important, but even more so during the reproductive years, to provide optimal conditions for a growing baby. It is now thought that both the mother's and father's diets contribute to the health of the mother and baby throughout pregnancy and then the mother's nutrient intake while breastfeeding.
Sadly, over the last few generations, our foods have become more processed and nutrient deficient often leading to gaps in our nutritional status. Certain nutrients with a high risk of being deficient in our foods, such as iodine and folic acid, are now prescribed for pregnant mums. A broad spectrum multivitamin and mineral designed for pregnancy is also recommended to fill any other nutrient gaps.
Another category of nutrients worth considering are essential fatty acids, which are vital for many processes in the body. We are unable to produce our own - so consuming them our foods (such as deep water and oily fish, wild game meats and some raw nuts and seeds) is very important. Nowadays, not so easy to do!
Our modern day diet of convenience for busy lifestyles, often consists of mainly processed foods and farmed foods which have an imbalance of essential fatty acids. Often, our intake of omega-3 fatty acids is far below what it should be.

Der Fernsehfilm Im Doppelpack ist ein englischer Coming-of-Age-Film aus dem Jahr 2002.

Handlung
Die zehnjährigen Zwillingsschwestern Garnet und Ruby leben mit ihrem Vater und ihrer Großmutter zusammen. Ihre Mutter ist schon vor vielen Jahren gestorben. Mit dieser Situation haben sich die Zwillingsschwestern gut arrangiert.

Doch ihr Vater wird arbeitslos. Zudem hat er auch noch Rose kennengelernt. Die Arbeitslosigkeit will ihr Vater für einen Neuanfang nutzen. Sein Traum ist eine kleine Buchhandlung auf dem Lande. Also zieht die Familie um. Davon sind Garnet und Ruby nun gar nicht begeistert. Doch ihr Protest nützt nichts, und die Familie zieht aufs Land, während die Großmutter in eine Seniorenwohnung geht. Die Zwillinge wollen aber nicht kampflos aufgeben. Sie möchten Rose aus dem Haus treiben und wieder in ihre alte Wohnung ziehen. Ihr Motto ist "Wir sind absolut identisch". Und so versuchen sie auch gemeinsam diese Ziele zu erreichen.

Doch Rose hat schon bald keine Schwierigkeiten, die Zwillingsschwestern auseinanderzuhalten. Denn sie sehen äußerlich zwar gleich aus, doch haben sie ganz unterschiedliche Charaktere. Garnet ist die etwas schüchterne, während Ruby sehr draufgängerisch ist. Und so ist es auch Garnet, die als erste Kontakt zu ihrer neuen Mutter Rose sucht. Sie wird dabei aber von Ruby zurückgehalten, da Garnet stets nachgibt und zum Schluss doch das macht, was Ruby will. Denn schließlich sind sie doch Zwillinge und absolut identisch.

Und so halten die beiden in ihrer neuen Umgebung zusammen. Da ist zum Beispiel eine Jungenbande, mit der sie sich anlegen und dabei stets als Sieger hervorgehen. Von diesen Erfolgen ermutigt, beschließen sie sich in der Schule schlecht zu verhalten. Wenn sie von der Schule fliegen, so ihre Idee, muss ihr Vater mit ihnen zurückziehen. Zwar bekommen sie dadurch Ärger, doch ihr Plan geht nicht auf.

Ruby entdeckt in der Zeitung eine Anzeige. Es werden Zwillinge für einen Film gesucht. Schauspielen war schon immer ihr großer Traum gewesen. Garnet ist dagegen viel zu schüchtern vor Leuten aufzutreten. Doch da Ruby sie wie üblich überredet, bitten sie schließlich ihren Vater zum Casting zu fahren. Dieser will davon aber nichts wissen und so fahren die Kinder heimlich dorthin.

Während des Castings macht Ruby einen guten Eindruck auf die Juroren. Garnet dagegen bringt keinen Ton raus. Ihr Vater ist ihnen zum Casting gefolgt und holt sie ab. Im Weggehen hört Ruby die Entscheidung der Juroren: dass sie zwar gut sei, ihre Schwester aber nicht. Ruby ist deswegen sauer auf Garnet.

Nachdem sich die Zwillinge wieder versöhnt haben, kommt ihnen eine neue Idee. Der Film, für den sie vorgesprochen haben, spielt in einem Internat. Und diesmal ist es Garnet, die von dieser Idee besonders angetan ist. Die Schule hat sogar ein Stipendium zu vergeben. Nachdem die beiden Mädchen einen Eignungstest gemacht haben, wird Garnet an der Schule angenommen. Das würde aber bedeuten, dass die Zwillinge sich trennen müssen.

Jetzt ist Ruby erst recht sauer auf ihre Schwester und will nichts mehr mit ihr zu tun haben. Fortan kleidet sie sich auch anders als ihre Schwester. Doch die Mädchen sprechen sich schließlich aus. Sie sind zwar verschieden, doch bleiben sie für immer Zwillinge. Und so fährt Garnet ins Internat, während Ruby bald einen Schauspielkurs besuchen wird.

Analyse
Der Coming-of-Age-Film setzt in einem für dieses Genre sehr frühen Alter an, sonst findet man solche Elemente eher vermehrt im Jugendfilm. Dadurch, dass die Protagonisten Zwillinge sind, wird zudem eine besondere Entwicklung dargestellt.

Bei Zwillingen entwickelt sich schon in früheren Jahren der Wunsch nach Individualität und einer daraus resultierenden Identifikationsfindung sowie -abgrenzung. Durch das junge Alter der Protagonisten wird das Thema der Persönlichkeitsentwicklung für kleinere Kinder nachvollziehbar, so dass diese sich schon in einem frühen Stadium damit auseinandersetzen können und sie so auf ihre eigene Entwicklung vorbereitet werden.

Defense Grid 2 Review (PS4/PC)
Posted on March 6, 2015	by Nelson
*Sources of screenshots are listed in their respective file names.
Please note that the review below is for the PS4 and PC versions, and may not reflect content/gameplay found in other editions.
The font is more difficult to read on PS4 and community-made maps are only available on PC. However, there seems to be no functional difference between the PS4 and PC versions.
Defense Grid 2* (DG2) gameplay from the Video Games and the Bible YouTube channel:
Defense Grid 2 is the sequel to classic tower-defense game, Defense Grid: The Awakening. Designed for the next generation of consoles to be more accessible while also giving players more freedom, DG2 is the evolution of its accomplished predecessor.
The PS4 version in action.
Despite its striking looks and blazing-fast performance, the aliens of Defense Grid 2 seem to be less visually distinctive than in the previous entry (Defense Grid: the Awakening). This upsets the "rhythm" of Defense Grid, reducing levels to shooting wave after wave of largely similar opponents rather than reacting to changing enemy types and configurations.
Enemies in the PC version of Defense Grid 2
Enemies in the PC version of the original Defense Grid.
The number of characters and ideas thrown at you from the beginning of DG2 (many of which were originally introduced in the DLC for the first game, Containment) makes the plot instantly confusing–even for players of the previous game.
This may be disappointing to newcomers. Fortunately, the gameplay is polished enough to redeem the title.
For those unfamiliar with Defense Grid or the Tower Defense genre in general, the main concept is easy to grasp. In each level you have to protect your "cores" from being taken by waves of alien opponents with different shapes, sizes and abilities. To do this, you are given a variety of towers to place around the stage, each with its own strengths and weaknesses.
To this basic formula, the latest installment of the Defense Grid series adds a number of features to assist players. These include but are not limited to:
Heat Maps: These show where your towers kill the most enemies so you can position/upgrade accordingly.
Wave rewinding: You can "rewind" to a previous wave of enemies, enabling you to fix critical mistakes with no penalty.
Damage tracking: The damage each tower inflicts is tracked, helping to determine which structures are worth the cost of upgrading.
Usually, tower defense games only allow you to place turrets on specific points in a map, or to build the path that enemies walk through. Defense Grid incorporates both approaches with well-crafted levels offering a number of ways to destroy your opponents.
You can tackle levels with or against another player with Defense Grid's fully-fledged multiplayer functions.
In the previous Defense Grid, your freedom felt limited due to the brutal optimization you constantly had to conduct. You'd often find yourself rewinding wave after wave, trying to find the right mix of tower type and placement. This issue seems to be alleviated in DG2, which lets you use the towers that you enjoy more often, rather than those that are simply effective.
Finally, several game modes are available for each level. They change the fundamental "rules" of Defense Grid in unique ways, forcing you to play the same stage differently. This potentially transforms the 20 levels of Defense Grid 2 into over 100. Combined with the new tower upgrade system, it significantly increases the replay value of this title.
After every level, you obtain new, permanent upgrades you can use to outfit the towers to suit your playstyle.
While it would be hard to measure up to the original Defense Grid's polish, Defense Grid 2 accomplishes that splendidly, offering a number of improvements upon its predecessor. However, as much as DG2 moves the formula forward, it lacks the simple yet intriguing story component that makes the original so engaging.
Defense Grid 2 currently on sale for $7.49 (70% off) on Steam until March 9th.
Some vaguely spiritual terms and phrases ("soul-cases," going "into the void," etc.) are used in the narrative:
"…The formicant said, "Leave us empty." Such madness. Formicants are hollow things until we remake them as soul-cases. We lift them from their isolation and fill their void. So why does this formicant delay us?…"
I still don't quite understand the story or these terms, but it's something to watch out for.
Occasional instances of language (such as the word for an illegitimate child).

Kopicův statek (dříve Jirošova rychta) je roubená usedlost z konce 18. století, kulturní památka. Jedná se (spolu např. s Dlaskovým statkem) o jeden z nejzajímavějších příkladů lidové architektury pojizerského typu. Statek (Kacanovy č. p. 64) se nachází o samotě asi 1 km východně od vesnice Kacanovy na Turnovsku, v okrese Semily. U statku je socha svatého Jiří a rokle s řadou pískovcových reliéfů vytvořených majitelem Vojtěchem Kopicem.

Statek
Nynější stavení bylo postaveno v roce 1787 rolníkem Jiřím Jirošem, základy jsou ale patrně starší. Usedlost se skládá z obytného patrového domu s pavlačí, kolmo přistavěné konírny se stájí a protilehlých přízemních hospodářských budov. Dvůr uzavírá kamenná brána. Opodál stojí dřevěná stodola.

Statek vlastnila rodina Jirošova, František Jiroš (1824–1902) byl od roku 1849 prvním starostou obce Kacanovy.

Socha svatého Jiří Drákobijce

Pískovcová skulptura svatého Jiří před statkem pochází z roku 1806, jedná se pravděpodobně o dílo Jana Chládka mladšího.

V roce 1884 nechal František Jiroš se svojí ženou Petronilou zhotovit u Josefa Zemana z Tatobit nový sokl. Podstavec zdobí z každé strany jeden reliéf: Kristus v Getsemanské zahradě, dvojice světic Petronily a Felliculy, Máří Magdalena a svatá Anna.

V současnosti je na místě vystavená kopie od Jiřího Nováka. Originální socha se nachází ve vestibulu Muzea Českého ráje v Turnově.

Skalní galerie Vojtěcha Kopice
Vojtěch Kopic (1909–1978) se do stavení přiženil v roce 1932. Od čtyřicátých let až do své smrti v rokli pod statkem vytesal v pískovcových skalách řadu reliéfů, jejichž témata čerpal především z českých dějin. Památková ochrana těchto děl byla vyhlášena s účinností od 25. listopadu 2017 formou stanovení ochranného pásma kulturní památky Kopicův statek.
